Official HTC Hero 2.1 Update now (5/19) on Sprint.com

I have read everywhere that you can't backup the free apps and the paid apps will be in your download history once 2.1 is running.

Great. Paid apps are the most important anyways, the free ones I can just write down :)

ahh, this makes my day!
 
Thats for htc sync, not the 2.1 update. Id bet that 2.1 still wont be available until friday.

Hmmmm... Did you click the link?

I'm D/L it now, but wont install it until I know there are no bumps in the road. Lol, 1/2 hour now and I only got 40+ megs... 118 total it said, so there must be MANY who are D/L it now, lmao...

:cool:
 
it's definitely on htc's website. slow download as expected...
not showing up on sprint's smartphone device upgrade site yet.
 
Well my title is for the visually challenged. Sorry if it was a repost but you have to admit that several "today is the day" threads are trumped by a " it is here and here's the DL" title. I think its a bit clearer then the rest of the "clutter" ;)

Cheers.

p.s. Now that everyone is DLing it the DL speeds are crawling.

wont let me dl it at all. anyone got a mirror?
 
Ok it showed

Leaked download is titled:

RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.27.651.5_R_signed_release.exe

Official is titled:

HTC Sprint Hero MR 2.27.651.5.exe

Wonder if anythings different

well if that's true...the 2nd leaked RUU (the one u listed) was probably official.
 
I thinks HTC download site is gonna crash... lmao, it is SOOOOooooooo slow right now.
lmao.

Foodman... chill... it's all good, the other 2 threads are slightly different. The MOD's will clean it all up for sure if it gets messy. ;)

Just some caution... on the XDA site, it has been noted that the MD5 checksum is identical to the leaked version they have had for a while now. There are KNOWN issues with it. So, like I said... I'm taking it down, just to have it for now, but would prefer my phone not to be used as a Guinea Pig. 1.5 Working just fine on mine!!!

;)

:cool:
 
Is this download mac compatible? Only computers I use are macs and it looked like an exe file, which form my understandings aren't compatible.
 
i was actually looking forward to using friendstream just to try it out. Live wallpapers i guess i could live without.
 
Which is why anyone with root shouldn't be downloading 2.1 considering there are already really good versions of 2.1 out in the world of root such as Fresh Kitchen 2.1.1.


Fresh 2.1.1, not fresh kitchen. Kitchen is flipz Root tool program ;)

like someone said above. you'll need Windows. the next step android should take and htc for that matter is to make updates/software that is compatible with other platforms (funny how they don't have public software that works in linux). and perhaps a sync that actually synchronizes things (ie...system backup).
but man this download is crawling. haha...it's as if there's a slickdeals effect happening now. :)
