Hi guys is there a way to download android market as my phone did not come with it.
Flash one of the ROMS, I recommend Ramjet R8. or the CRC1 default.
Instructions are in the dream android development section. Just remember to read everything 10 times before you do it.
There really isn't another way to get market on as far as i'm aware.
Good luck!

ya def should have waited and flashed something like fresh 2.1.1 etc cause now i think your stuck.. sorry...
So wait, you flashed the "Samsung Moment" 2.1 update from Sprint and you come here expecting the "Hero" Devs to root your Moment? This is what im getting from your "Samy Oficial from Sprint" comment. I also really hope you fat fingered "Sammy" and "Official".
and another one gone... .... ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY0WxgSXdEE#t=0m49s
Im starting to think maybe that "samy oficial" was supposed to be "semi official". I've been to the ghetto and way out in the country "Backwoods, W.V.", ya just need to merge the 2 to get the language.
Tried using flashrec yet? you can do it all from the phone... that is how I rooted from 1.5. all from my sdcard and flashrec. EASY too..

Unfortunately my good sir, you flashed much too early. Sprint patched the normal root method in the leaked update, so now the way we normally do it doesn't work. Damageless has released a rooted version of the leak, but it's just for the impatient people on here, so be warned. If you're running damageless 2.08.1 you'll have an update in DCUpdater within the next few days.
As to your situation, you can't go back. You've already flashed, so you'll be waiting until Damage and company find a way to root from the official 2.1, instead of upgrading from root to root. Keep your eyes peeled, and use that search bar.

He's talking about the Hero 2.1 leak from yesterday or two days before, somehow a 2.1 update for the Hero got leaked from Sprint, and it has the release keys and everything. Damageless poked around in it and deemed it legit, so our May 21st release date is looking very realistic now. He has a Hero, and he obviously flashed the leak. Little did he know that the leak fixed root, and he's gonna have to wait a long time.

How do you know he's talking about the Hero Leak? Maybe he really is talking about the Moment that was recently update...How do you even know he has a Hero to begin with?
Well for starters it's a hero forum so that would be a natural assumption. Second, if he flashes the moment rom to his hero he would be complaining about having a brick not lack of root. I'd guess there is a very tiny possibility he has a moment and posted on the wrong forum but that would be a stretchas the thread title does say hero.

You're posting in a Hero thread, and would the Moment software even work? I mean yeah people are stupid sometimes but I don't think he flashed a different phone's rom to his phone. Also, he said "samy oficial" which we have determined to mean "semi official", that would apply to Sprint's "semi official" HTC Hero 2.1 leak. Moment's update is fully official, Hero's update is semi as of right now.
I'm 99% sure he has a Hero, flashed the leaked Hero 2.1 ROM, and wants to know when 2.1 can be rooted. Unfortunately, he should've waited, because now he has to wait MUCH longer

The whole thing is his use of "semi official." Moment's update is totally official, the Hero's is a leak.

Couldn't you RUU to one of the 1.5 builds and then reroot?
I just got a new Sprint HTC HERO.. OK guys now what??? Im new to the rooting process and installing ROM's..Ive been reading into Rooting and Installing Custom Rom's but im still don't if I should root it becuase I have 2 friends that as soon as they got there android phones they tried too root them and bricked them soo im still iffy. I have the sprint 2.1-update1 ROM with the 2.27.651.6 Build Number.. Soo if you guys can give me a good Link or Post for Rooting thats updated or new because most of the links I find are old (video would be a plus) for a Noob like me and a Good Stable Custom Rom that you guys can recommend would be great. Thanksss!!!!
The first thing you will want to do is learn to use the search feature of the forum. It is really good and it will lead you to all of the info you will ever need. It will also save you a lot of grief, you will find that you will get much more helpful responses if you first try to help yourself, chances are your question has already been asked and answered 100 times.
Now that that is out of the way, regaw_leinad has a step by step tutorial on how to root the Hero. It's located in the CDMA ANDROID DEVELOPMENT forum. Easy enough to find though. Let me know if you can't find it and I will try and post a link.
Oh yeah, Welcome to the Hero Forums! Enjoy!

If they managed to ACTUALLY brick their phone, and not just did something they didn't know how to undo, it's cause they either can't or didn't read/search/askfor help.
It's damn near impossible to brick these phones, and honestly I don't even think you can brick them in the rooting process.
So did you get your phone rooted yet?
Thanks prios914 I found that regaw_leinad Post on rooting the Hero. But since this post was written last year when the hero had 1.5 would there be any diffrence since it now has 2.1??

Yeah you have to downgrade. It's just not possible to root the .6 version yet
Your welcome liftedngifted1 and the guide I was referring to from regaw_leinad was the one that thatguythatdid pointed you too. I'm new to the forums so I do not have the ability to post links yet.
As for Roms, if you are like many of the users of this forum, you will probably develop a case of ORD - Obsessive Rom-updating Disorder.
There are plenty of good roms to try out you just want to make sure you do your Nand backups and be sure to get Titanium Backup from the market as it will make it easy to restore the apps that you like to use on a regular basis, it will save you time.
Enjoy.
I'm confused. You said you had 2.1 and then you said you have 1.6. Sprint did not release 1.6 for the Hero. The phone originally had 1.5 and then they released an updated version of 1.5. And last month they released 2.1 followed by a patch for it. If you have 2.1 follow the steps from regaw's post or goto unrevoked.com from your phone.

I think he meant he has the update .6 build of the 2.1 system
Sprint recently released two RUU's 2.27.651.5 and 2.27.651.6 so when they are referring to 1.5 or 1.6 they are referring to the last two digits of the newest RUU's.

If it's Droid then it's for CDMA. I don't think it's a good idea to try it on Milestone.
This has been repackaged as a ROM. It will not work on the milestone, under any circumstances.
Could a moderator or the OP perhaps re-title this thread in light of the fact that the update in question will not work on a Milestone?

Question is pertaining specifically with the title. It specifically states "DROID" and the question addresses if this will somehow work due to it being signed by motorola.
Perhaps, it will be helpful if there is a developer who can torn the package not to include the radio which is the only difference of milestone to a droid.

The title of this post seems to suggest that we, the Milestone owners, can accomplish this installation and it would somehow invite us to do so.
Motorola signed the Droid firmware to run on a Droid, not a Milestone. There are additional internal hardware differences beyond the radio, and there are software differences that permeate several components of the OS.

If it were so cut and dried, we'd have custom roms by the butt load.
It isn't
I really wish people would stop assuming that life is simple because almost every other android device has custom roms...
The milestone could have custom roms right now and it wouldn't make a difference, because we couldn't load them.
Here is how to update your motorola droid to android 2.2 froyo FRF84B.

Per your request, title has now been changed.
Moved to general since it isn't related to development.
This will not work on Milestone, it is built for Droid which is CDMA. Droid and Milestone are two different devices, they require completely different ROMs. There is no Froyo ROM for Milestone out there yet, neither official nor leaked.
Please be patient.
Thanks
Hey there, It seems all my searches on rooting the sprint hero on 2.2.1 are bringing up results from 2009 and 2010. and mostly for 2.1
Is there an updated way of rooting the 2.2.1?
Also is there a sense 3.0 rom thats stable for the sprint hero?
also also lol is there a way of rooting the phone by just flashing a rooted rom like in some phones?
thanks alot
sorry if they are dumb questions
edit.. can the hero still be rooted on unrevoked?
