  4. Hi,

    Can someone confirm that I can reverse this update? Let's say I update and my phone would for some reason become unusable. Can I then reverse it Android 1.5?

  5. Thanks for helping me BRICK my Hero. You should really specify that this is for the GSM and NOT THE CDMA Hero. Thanks.

    • Lols. Should've checked first then shouldn't you?
      Although I would have assumed it was the GSM version otherwise they would say 'Sprint Hero'

      • It's all good… I was stupid not to check, but it's always good to specify in the directions when posting something that CAN brick a phone. Luckily I I have the equipment protection plan and the people at the Sprint store were really helpful (so long as I played dumb and told them it “Just won't turn on”).

    • NO. It'll brick it if you try. HTC has said they're coming out with an Android 2.1 update for the Hero mid-March, so I'd wait until then.

  6. I tryed it, but the screen was empty after install. Programs like calendar, clock, camera etc. was not on the phone when install was finish.
    So I had to restore my backup to get all to normal.

  7. Doesn't work for me. Sense UI force closes all the time, so I had to do nandroid restore.
