im about to buy a htc dream from canada thats fro
rogers network.. i want to unlock it and use it for at&t in the us but i hqve how rogers destroyes android .. im totally new to all this what do i do to get normal android 1.5 or 1.6 on the device.. again im totally new to this.. ive tried to research this and its so damn confusing i dont know where to start.. i dont need some crazy hero rom that doesnt work right.. unless it works snappy with no drawbacks..i just dont want rogers crap crippled android.. any step by step guide would be greatly approciated.. thanks
Step 1 read the other posts that tell you that you can't root the rogers phone with the new update yet.
Step 2 wait.
i read you cant do it because they will dissconnect voice and data but im not usuing it on rogers so why would it matter.. also ive never until now even looked it up on how to do anything to these phones.. and when i first started looking i found a bunch of stuff saying you can do it but it was like 2 years old so how am i supposed to know you cant do it now..
Do you have the phone now?
If you do you need to check your Build Number. If it = 1.89.631.1 146733 CL#94714....
Then there is nothing you can do.
If you haven't gotten the phone then if you get it from Rogers you get the above build and there is nothing you can do.
If you already have the phone and it doesn't match that build then you should be ok. you root and you will need to change the radio to the EBI0 radio. There is a guide by Haykuro some where on here to root and change the radio.
As for unlocking that is not really discussed here. You need to buy an unlock code or if you know someone on T-mobile you can give them your IME and have them ask T-mobile for the unlock code.

Google maps navigation requires android 1.6. Most hero roms are 1.5. Look through development for a 2.1 based hero to use navigation.
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.

I recently lost my htc hero and have just received a new one from insurance and it is updated to the 2.32.651.2 software. I have been searching around, but have not been able to find any way to root this. If anyone could help it would be great, thanks

You might have to downgrade your software through HTC's RUU. I don't have the file but someone will post it eventually.

Did it yesterday and it works! If you just want to root, go ahead with z4root. If you experience lag after rooting, just reboot and your good to go if you dont plan on flashing any roms. Link to z4root in post.
