Advise Needed (2.1)

[Guest squeekymouse89]

Hi, Im still stuck on 1.5 and it was pretty easy to root the phone and thats great !! Im now wondering if its possible to boot more than one os at the same time. The problem is I like the official firmware at 1.5 but wish to try 2.1 without altering the phone or creating too big a risk

Is this even possible, My experiance is ok with phone flashing but the most ive done is flash a wiza200 from wm5 to wm6 ive never done an android device (expensive :S)

Thanks

There is currently no multi boot option for the Hero but if you want to test out a 2.1 ROM knowing you can go back then just NANDROID backup before you flash it then if you want to go back, NANDROID restore. This works well as I did it to test out some of the SDK FroYo ROMs.
