I upgraded to an evo last summer on launch day. Kept my hero in case I like, dropped my evo in the lake or it got stolen.. but last week I decided to sell my hero just because I figured it should find a better home.
I sold it to a girl on craigslist who was going to give it to her mom for mom's day. I met her at the sprint store and advised her to go in and have sprint wipe it and "upgrade it" (it is running fresh rom 2.1) but she didn't and said, "i'll do it all next week." Fast forward to yesterday and... she texts me saying sprint couldn't upgrade it and that theres no "internet" on it. She isn't a technical person and I just ASSUMED sprint could wipe it and upgrade it. I assumed wrong and now I feel terrible.
I offered to work with her (i'm out of town until tomorrow) on it and she seemed ok with that. So I am creating this thread to see what I have to do to unroot this phone so she can use it.
This is where she is at:
1. She activated the phone with sprint but according to her, it has no internet (but can make and receive calls). I presume this is because of an old radio or plu or something like that?
2. I'd like to unroot it for her.. but I want to show up to the sprint store with the right software on my windows laptop to quickly do it for her from like, my car.
I think I need to flash this but I am unsure:
[RUU] Official 2.31.651.7 in ZIP Format, Flashable from Fastboot - xda-developers
Anyway, I ask everyone here for help! What can I do on tuesday when I see her to get this phone unrooted and back up and running asap?
