2.32.651.2 is available. I got a new hero today and updated OTA to the new software. then I applied this root method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804296
ive been deleting much bloat. the update has a new baseband, new software, new PRI. kernel is the same. im sure theres more that i dont know about.
This update makes it feel fast and responsive. To me-a little smoother than the last .7 official.

I havent flashed clockwork yet but i intend to...right now

sorry i can't tell you one or the other; however, i was curious why you're jumping on a hero instead of something like the lg optimus s which is cheaper and has gotten great reviews?
one obvious negative of picking another device is that the community isn't quite there for it yet, but... i know it is rooted at least.
also, if it's a matter of price, two of my brothers ordered their evo's from this site:
http://ordersprint.cellbenefits.com/ind/sprint/devices.html
the prices seem unreal, to be honest. but it might be worth looking at what they have available. much cheaper than direct from sprint and the lg ends up being $50 in your pocket after contract, rebates, and/or giftcards.
anyway, just a thought. i do love my hero, but this late in the game, i'd be looking to snag a slightly more modern device. or, maybe you could find one to buy from people in the forum. i know a lot of people have been upgrading recently (i'm up in a week or so, but plan to wait until after ces before i buy a new phone).
sorry for the off-topic question!

they replaced my hero with a new one
UPDATE
Updated op
Ah.. I see.
Well, thanks for the update. Good to know that root is still available!

i flashed nfinite's .7 update 3.1 odex version after all that. device retained the baseband and pri versions. if i try the ota update to the new software, i get the triangle exclamation point. when i press menu, im at clockworks menu. id like to have the latest software but a new baseband is good too.
Any way to get the update other than OTA?
I'd like to have the new PRL and Baseband as I run CM.
Thanks.

prolly not until someone extracts it. i dont know much about it.
I knew about 2.31.651.7 OTA, but didn't realize there was another. I am still running .6 with an odexed basically stock ROM (see sig).
So, really better performance, or just a bit? Any difference on mflops, or other specifics?

.7 is the best stock update so far and this new update seems a little more responsive.

I have finished rooting the new update and I can say that the SuperOneClick method works as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Rom Manager went on fine too.
Edit: My bad, I lost root after booting. I will try your root method. Sorry
Getting the S-off again is now trickier due to the new radio baseband.
why not pull the update off your phone change the script a little sign and flash through recovery
so the new update is worth keeping? I was planning on rooting my device to get the wifi sharing option that 2.2 has but i wasn't thinking and let the new ota update go through the other day. the only difference i've seen is more lag and more battery usage. opinions?
The only way to get WiFi sharing on the hero is through rooting the hero does have a native usb tether but u have to pay for any data u use on it

Super one click worked to root the phone after the update to HTC Hero (Sprint) Maintenance Release 2.32.651.2.
Got the download on this site, just search for the super one click method.
Thanks XDA.
So lets see if I get this right;
I'm using cm6 exblue. If I want the new baseland and prl I have to go back to stock sense unroot apply the update and then root again with super1click and flash my cm6 backup. Is that how it goes?

no. you can flash the radio through either s-off bootloader or recovery, and there isn't a new prl. 60671 is still the latest.

The zip file provided to flash through CWM is the new leak but the old baseband. The ONLY way to get the new baseband is to flash the leak using the LG Update Tool.
that's funny cause the baseband is different from the froyo and i had the lg updated GB.... it has the same baseband as the one i have know.... it still has the date on it (jul 15)

Right...at one point, you updated to GB using the LG updater right? That's why you have the updated baseband. So even after you nvflashed recovery and flashed the rooted GB rom, you kept the updated baseband.
However, if someone that did NOT update with the LG updater flashed that same rooted rom, the phone would have the old baseband.
So those of us that got the newer batch of g2x's (P999DWP) CANNOT get the new baseband by any purpose other than waiting for someone to strip it out and release it as a separate flashable file for us. Then again, prayer might work too. Unless, of course, LG adds the DWP's to the list of elible phones. But it would probably make no sense for them to do that since this was supposed to be a test-build update for a limited selection of testers that had the original P999DW models.

Mine was not written anywhere on the box or the phone itself. In fact, ON the inside of my phone, underneath the battery, it says P999DW. It wasn't until I already reverted to stock, unrooted, restored stock recovery, and ran the LG software updater, that I discovered it read my phone as P999DWP.
With that being said, I had my doubts that I would be able to update anyway, because I know my phone is a newer build than many. My first g2x had a serial number starting with 104, and I know most people here have numbers starting with either 104 or 105...but my new replacement g2x that got here 2 days ago has a serial number starting with 106.
Well, I have confidence in the devs here...and I'm certain good things will come to light soon enough.
Now all we need is that sweet lg camera apk back and more fixes and we are good to go! someone try to get back the lg stock camera!!

After a not-so-smooth attempt at rolling out Android 2.3 Gingerbread for T-Mobile G2X users, experience-breaking bugs ran rampant throughout users’ phones prompting T-Mobile and LG to suspend updates. It took quite a while for them to get things ironed out, actually, as I almost forgot that the T-Mobile G2x even exists. In any case, the Gingerbread rollout is back on for those who are sick of frozen treats. Alongside Gingerbread, you’re also apparently getting improved battery life for your troubles. Yay! Get to the link ahead for the full instructions from LG. [LG via Droid Dog]
As of December 5, T-Mobile will restart the rollout of the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) Over-The-Air (OTA) update!
If you would like to update your software before receiving the OTA, please visit the LG website (link to: http://wwwstg.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/G2X-Driver/index.jsp) to update your device today.
The G2x Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) update includes the following benefits:
Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) OS
Improved battery life
Improved front-facing camera operation when using Qik record and share
Improved disabling of Car Home
Helps address unexpected reboots

It doesnt make sence why would they just stop only to start the same garbage update again? They have to have fixed it some. Maybe it is still 2.3.3 but its gotta be different. I would have hoped that they would roll out the 2.3.4 that they used in italy for the o2x. At the very least they should have fixed the stupid camera. I could be wrong but it just doesnt make any sence to me

After all these months I expected a new update........
Busy with nothing I simply pressed the button to check firmware update for my TF700T. Then a notif came up telling me to install an update. After a temporary unroot I did what it said, and now I'm running Firmware 10.4.4.23-20121127, mine is WW. Root restored without any issue after rebooting.
Can't really see any changes (yet), probably have to dig deeper.

From what I've read I truly believe in you. The problem is that I didn't use NVFlash when possible (had already updated the bootloader) and I don't want to risk unlocking and flashing ROM's for now. The tablet is not sold in my country and if I brick it I wouldn't be able to repair nor to buy a new one.
I am not a newbie on flashing ROM's in general because I still own a HD2 but I do know there are risks on the process.
Thus, I will probably wait for the 4.2 update to decide between unlocking it or not.

I hear you, you do have a point!
I agree that this update really improved the speed of my tab. Might not be clean rom fast, but it's still warrantied fast
It's a bit faster now. At this rate we'll be fully happy with the speed around April. For me it does what I want it to just fine So what if I have to wait 1 second instead of 0.5 second for an app to open? And the very, very rare (no, I don't get them a lot. once a day, at most.) ANR messages are a whole lot less irritating than the constant "Are you sure" UAC rubbish I deal with daily on W7. (technologically impaired clients. Ugh.)

I, too, am not risking unlocking. While it is for sale here quite regularly and the EU covers warranty concerns, I bought it from a store that's not known for its great customer service (Media Markt, for you dutchies&germans.) and I didn't get a chance to use NVFlash. (By the time I heard about the idea, the first update had already auto installed. ) I'm also generally rather unlucky when it comes to electronics, stuff tends to break. And I need the tablet for work, so I can't afford to have it send out for repair for weeks if I mess up.
@ShadowLea
I have exactly the same problem as you, but Media Markt isn't good for repair?
Must I unfreeze all system apps before the update?

Yes, you must unfreez all system. Any modification to properties (build.props) file also needs to roll back. The device must be in the "stock" condition or update will failed.

Hello,
I'm new here and yes, I'm a noob.
I recently got myself a Xoom 2 Media Editon (MZ608) as my first tablet. I'm not the kind of person who always needs the latest hard- and software and basicly I'm ok with the installed Android 4.0.4. Unfortunately one of the apps I'd like to use refuses to install on an "old" Android version. And another app, which was already pre-installed, refuses to update for the same reason.
As I said I'm a noob and I never modded a tablet. I searched the web for two hours but now I'm lost. There is so much information and even the guides I found seem to start in the middle. The main problem however is that I found many links and files for Android 3.2.2 and 4.0.4 but nothing helpful for anything more up-to-date.
I really just need anything newer than 4.0.4. It doesn't matter if it's 4.1.x or 4.2.x. Where do I have to go and what do I need to do? Thanks in advance for any help!
I don't believe there is anything more up to date for the media edition Xoom, also no custom recovery is possible so zero custom ROMs.

Thanks for your answer. That's sad news.
Is there at least any way to get an older version of an app from Google Play or to force installation of the new version? And can I get rid of the second app I mentioned? It fails to update and I don't want it anyway.
