when i got this phone(x10a) around ~6 months ago i upgraded the firmware to 2.1-update 1, the baseband to 2.1.54. I rooted the phone, installed xrecovery, drivers etc...
Im looking to upgrade the firmware to 2.3 and possibly getting cyanogenmod. I know that you have to root the phone before you install 2.3, but will upgrading the baseband, or upgrading to 2.3 remove my current root access?
No it won't remove your root access.Mostly because the ROM is already pre-rooted.However,there's a step you need to do after flashing to 2.3 that is upgrading the baseband before turning on the phone.Failure to do this,your phone may not work.
Try this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192988
There's a basic guide there for 2.1 to 2.3 upgrade along with a video tutorial.

hi
now iam using modaco custom rom 3.1
can i upgrade my hero to 2.1 which is gonna release on april?
Are there any steps to do that or just download that file from htc site and run it?
I think that should work fine, but it will not be rooted anymore i guess?
from what i gather you'll irreversibly lose your root access if you upgrade to the official one. Something about improved security. Wait a bit and the rooted version of the stock rom would pop up somewhere.
do i need to create any goldcard to upgrade?
or goldcard process is only used to downgrade from custom rom to 1.6 official version?
I have survived a long time on stock 1.5 rom. Have been waiting a long time for 2.1 rom. Now that it is finally coming to me, I am starting to consider if I should just root and install all the other roms out there now, just in case stock 2.1 cannot be rooted....
any comments ?
I am using a singapore hero ..
2.1 cannot currently be rooted, do not flash it if you want to root.
Thread moved.
just root and install a 2.1 rom, theyr exactly the same but with a root features
yeah i was also gonna ask the same question .. it was running whole time on my mind ..
Currently i am on official 1.5 firmware , i am waiting for 2.1 update also i didn't root my phone yet but planning to what if i install official 2.1 update ? later i can not root Hero ? & can't install or flash any Custom ROM ?
Or root now & install Custom ROM ?
would just say you can not root after you upgrade to offical 2.1 from HTCs site or OTA or RRU file...
while you are on 1.5 root!
once you have a custom recovery you can flash a update.zip file that contains 2.1 offical upgrade minus the SPL upgrade and recovery and radio..
it would be just silly for anyone to install the offical update direct from htc. there have been so many threats about this...
hope this helps though

The "only way" to hard brick is to do the ota update THEN use rsd to flash an earlier software version. so if you dont OTA you wont hard brick. So unlock your bootloader, install a custom recovery, then flash to your hearts content

Hi, I had rooted my galaxy FIT on stock rom with gingerbread 2.3.4 & firmware version S5670DDKQ5 using SUPERONECLICK earlier.
Recently my fone was upgraded by samsung kies to gingerbread 2.3.6 & firmware version S5670DDKT2, and after the upgrade I was unrooted again
When I tried to root again, all my attempts failed, I used SuperOneClick 2.3.3 to root my fone again, but it failed after STEP 7.
So can anyone please tell me, why can't I root my fone now, has SAMSUNG patched the zergrush exploit?
If so how do I root again?, I mean it should be safe enough to try coz I don't wanna brick my phone....
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance
Hi, apologies if this has been covered but i couldn't find anything specific on this.
I got the ICS 4.0.3 upgrade yesterday for my S2, but my root access seems to have disappeared (upgrade was the official Voda UK upgrade via Kies). I originally followed the instructions on this forum to root the phone a few months ago. Titanium backup has stopped working
Presumably I need to re-root? If so, should I follow the identical instructions which I used for rooting my 2.3.5 version?
Cheers
Wat lp version is it? Just install cf root kernel and u should be fine. Or speed mod. Up to you.
Yes the same instructions, just make sure you root using a cf-root kernel for ICS
