I am interesting in finding out how to root the RUU 2.1 Sprint Leak, I tried to root my 1.5 to install damagecontrol 2.06, but I had the newest patch and flashrek and other methods wouldn't root it.
Any Suggestions or Links to help me figure out how to load damagecontrol 2.06 rom and root the RUU 2.1 Sprint Leak.
Thanks so much

Well, the leaked RUU comes with root. Are you trying to root your stock hero on 1.5 to be able to flash things?

Silly question prolly, but if it comes with root, why cant I get into recovery, by pushing home and power?

becuase when you used the ruu, it overwrote the custom recovery image with the stock test 2.1 recovery image.
You'll have to load the flash_image file on the phone and chmod it. Then flash the custom recovery again. I think I saw a guide somewhere in here.

If you run the .exe it rewrites the recovery.

So is it true that you can gain root access through ADB!

not only the recovery, but the radio, bootloader, well, everything.
It's quite the long process to go back, don't know if anyone has tried it yet. Don't know if some of the things can go back a version.

Yeah, but, you don't have busybox installed, so you can't do really anything in adb shell.

I did it for the 2.10 radio and went back to flipz after.
Manually push flash_image to /system/bin >> You have to give flash_image permissions with adb
Code:
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image
>> Root and reflash recovery (use this guide, except substitute 1.6.2 instead of 1.5.2 recovery (or use whatever recovery you want)>> Then reboot into recovery and nandroid back to your original build. You can even nandroid back to Fresh 2.0d and you will retain your new PRI.
If you have never made a backup, then download whatever ROM you want to try and use flash from .zip in recovery to flash the new ROM.
I included flash_image if you need it to push. This is not a .zip file, but I had to add .zip to attach it here. Rename it without the .zip or push it by typing
Code:
adb push flash_image.zip /system/bin/flash_image

SMW did, plus he posted a link on how to RUU back to 1.56 after doing it as well....without the RUU...lol.
The bootloader is modified, so you can't just RUU the old fashioned way.

If it doesn't work, try this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6013606
It's basically going to stock without using the RUU.

I wrote up a tutorial on how to root any 1.5 based Hero using the Sprint 2.1 leaked test RUU. This might help.
Any ideas:
I have gone and tried a few tutorials on this site for putting on Amon's image and I always get a denied for the flash_image command when running in adb shell.
This is where I keep getting stopped at in all these tutorials.
Thanks for the help

No problem
I'm running 4.1.1 on my I9020A rooted. Stock Rom and Kernel. I searched the forums and the web, and every article I find gives instructions on going back to 2.3.X, THEN removing root. I don't want to go back, in fact I only want to un-root shortly, then go back to a rooted phone.
So my question is, Can I go through the locking steps of un-rooting, but leave the current ROM (4.1.1) installed?

Delete, IN THIS ORDER:
/system/Superuser.apk
/system/xbin/su
/system/bin/su
Reboot your phone.
Root gone. If you want to root again, go to Androidsu.com, download the appropriate zip file, flash it, and you have root again.

No. Unlocked bootloader and root are 2 different things.

What he said. Unless you're returning your phone for warranty repair or you're worried about security (like me), there's no reason to lock your bootloader.
I see. Thank you guys!
I have no Superuser.apk in the System/ folder.
I can only find com.noshufou.android.su-1.apk in data/app/
The other two files you listed I have found.

That's the one. Delete it, it's the app to manage the su rights. su in xbin/bin is the binary for SuperUser
Ok, so I attempted to unroot. I opened es file explorer (Which launched with SU rights) and I was able to delete com.noshufou.android.su-1.apk in data/app/.
Then when I tried to delete su in /xbin, I was denied. Tried deleting su in /bin as same results. Denied.
Any thoughts?
Just flash stock. Now unrooted. To go back flash CWM and SU. This sounds a lot easier if oldblue's suggestion isn't working for you.
Use this for step by step.

I'm new to android / linux. Been a Windows admin for 15+ years. I thought it not possible to delete SU while using SU, but I figured I'd try anyway. So ADB requires phone in FASTBOOT mode, correct?

I'm not sure what went wrong with yours, but IMO by far the simplest and easiest root method for our devices is the one in this thread. Just flash from recovery (stock recovery is fine). That should take care of it.

Glad to hear it. There's so much stuff in the Development section that finding the best answer can be a big research project.
Im trying to get my desire s downgraded, rooted and be able to install a custom rom on it. I have searched and tried all guides on here but none of them seem to work anymore there are always files missing, web sites down or just things out of date I already have a gold card on my memory card.
I cant use revolution as my version is too high and needs to be downgraded can someone help me plz with the files or destination of them thanks.
Re. Downgrade....
Hallo...I am attaching zip with the files i`ve downloaded someday long ago,
,there is also file without extension which you can open wirh any text editor-
- it is description i`ve got from the original thread about the downgrading procedure..
I hope this is all you need to proceed to tthe fruitful end...
Good luck
And one more thing, those files were ment for versions lower than ics
so if you are running ics, they might be useless...No harm in trying though
Edit. I do not have the ruu but there is a beautifull thread in development section:
INDEX of ROMS/RECOVERY/ROOT/GUIDES/HBOOT/RADIOS/TWEAKS etc
you can find many answers there ...

are you rooted- if so then after adb shell you shall press enter
,and if you see a $ sign, type su
then in your device superuser app will ask you for superuser rights for the shell-
you grant it there
then in the terminal the sign should change to #
then you are ready for chmod 777[space]/data/local/....
Edit:
after you`l have succeded this procedure to the very end and have rebooted the device succesfuly!!
to flash ruu you need to relock your bootloader( you know this)
fastboot oem lock
I you are stuck along the way then write again- better be safe than sorry

no im not rooted need to downgrade first don't I, seriously doing this is so hard so many different things to try it is confusing.
but you are unlocked aren`t you- by htc dev?
if this is so now it is time to get the recovery for saga,
flash it from fastboot fastboot flash recovery recovery.img...
then you ought to get superuser zip for saga and flash it from your newly installed recovery
and then your live with downgrading will be much easier
Edit: in the attachment yoou have
1. recovery.img flash from fastboot,,, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
2. superuser.zip flash from recovery
any doubts? write...

Re. Downgrade....
hoooo... pull the horses... when i read my post, it looks bit chaotic,
let us organise it ....
first:
you said before that you are unlocked- if that is true then either by htc dev or your device is natively
opened by manufacturer..either way you can flash recovery and root your phone.
Second:
if the first line in your bootloader(phone off then symultanously pressing power and volume down)
states >> locked<< then your phone is in an untouched state- stock
Third:
if your device is stock, and unrooted, without custom recovery
then the files from the downgrade zip are needed,
- zerg rush which is an exploit that lets us get temporary root for the shell,
and it is gone after you reboot the phone.
- misc_version that lets us change-or fool the phone about the software version that we have on board
Now, there is much more to it but.... see first what you can do with what you know already

I am not in your skin so it is realy difficult for me to advise you
either way but:
you can try again htc dev (or wait for email from them-check if you`ve followed their procedure to the letter)
procedure that is easier for all of us with less expearience
you can try to downgrade and s-off with another procedure- which is more difficult but works for many people,
have to decide yourself
I am s-on again- with an unlocked bootloader, because i am comfortable with it- not need s-off for now really,

1. if i were you I`d flash recovery from fastboot-just in case- you`l need it anyway
2. make backup of your curent rom -from recovery-just in case something goes wrong
3. try if the root remains after reboot- if not- then flash su (you`ll find in the second attachment) from recovery
4.push misc_version and do the rest of downgrade procedure to the letter
5.make sure you have the right ruu after you have lowered your software version number- run it and wait till it finishes
6. keep the unlock token from htc in a safe place- just in case
7. go to the revolutionary site, download the needed program and follow their procedure to remove
s-on
8. should also flash eng. hboot(should br extremely carefull with that-get as much info as you can) but it may be later
9. choose custom or stock ROOTED rom you want to flash- and flash it
10. enjoy your free saga
Steps: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10- important
8- best get some info and confidance first before you do it
Seems to much- i know- but it isn`t... remember: rush is the bad advisor
Edit:

to flash ruu you must relock bootloader- this is important
