I've been extremely successful in getting everything available in this forum installed and working on a SIM/CID-Unlocked Tilt that I bought today (THANKS POF!).
What's now needed for all of us ATT Tilt owners is a Keymapping CAB. I was hoping that the Advanced Config would have the correct mapping in it but it doesnt.
If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd be glad to knock out the CAB or if someone has something available, please post... there's gonna be a lot of people looking for this!
Thanks in advance!

If you still have the ATT ROM loaded, can you look in the \Windows dir and find the *.provxml files? The answer may be there.

CID unlocking your phone allows you to flash your phone with any "non-native" carrier or "cooked" ROM. If you don't CID unlock your device, then you're stuck using AT&T-only ROMs (in your case).

I already unloaded the ATT ROM but I suppose someone here will have that file. Could it be extracted from an .NB file?

I think that Cricket just needs to give you a prl. There is a thread 3 or 4 pages back on this. "know a guy who knows a guy who can get help from a guy" seems to be the answer. Also, you probably won't have data.

So, since there isn't an unlocker, is this impossible?
There is an unlocker. I do have a Sprint version, but I dont think that would matter as far as unlocking goes.
So it is possible? I feel bad coming here and going HEY GUYS IDK WHAT TO DO but thats basically my situation! I just want to get 6.5 on my Diamond because 6.1 is annoying the crap out of me and any improvement would be nice! It's just hard because I can't find any info on doing this on a Verizon version. Do you know where I can find the unlocker, or what to plug into google? Thanks, I appreciate the information.

Thanks for the LMGTFY but I already checked that out and "This DOES NOT work on Verizon Diamonds as they are a completely different phone." It doesn't look like it's possible for a Verizon Diamond...

Hey, I searched and found no answer so I'll just ask here.
I have sprint and I'm using Myn's Donut and wondering if it does charge that stuff I buy from the android marketplace to my sprint bill?
If anyone knows it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

no, you have to set up a google billing account when you purchase something if you do not have one already.
Okay guys, I have scoured the internet and these forums trying to find a solution to my problem, but I have not come up with anything yet. I have followed the directions exactly for the Sprint version of the rooting for 2.1 on an htc Hero and everything is fine until I get to the command:
sh /sdcard/unrevoked
Now it does it's thing with this and I get the next Unpacking, please wait... And then the huge UNREVOKED, but after this in everything that I have seen it should say "Ready to 'su'." Yet it never does. It just goes back to the "$" and that's where it sits. I checked the phone just to make sure and see if the superuser permissions app was there... and it's not. Am I missing something? I didn't get any errors before this, but can't get that app installed. Ugh, so frustrated...
So no ideas from anyone, huh? Darn, and here I was hoping someone would at least have something for me to try.
I am confused, you said in the thread title you want root for 2.1 not sprint but then you go to mention this;

Andrewb84uk,
Good question, but the statement I made still holds true. The phone I have is not using the Sprint ROM but it is a CDMA phone, so I was hoping that the rooting exploit for Sprint would work for the company that I am through as well (which happens to be a carrier called Cellcom located in Wisconsin). So Yes, I do not have a Sprint Hero, but I also do not have a GSM Hero either. Just hoping that since I can't find rooting for any other carriers, something might have worked...

That's okay. Thanks for even responding! I appreciate it.
If your phone is CDMA, then I would post over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=650
I can move this if you want (I think), but you might as well just open a thread over there and explain the issues.
In GSM Hero, we tend to refer to all CDMA hero's as being Sprint Heros (since Sprint was first to release it IIRC)

Wait... there is a CDMA forum section? Wha??!?!?? Musta missed that. Merci Beaucoup! I'll probably do that then. If you could move it over that would be great as well.

I tried out a few of the different rooting techniques and have still had no luck. It's kinda frustrating. I guess that's one of the downsizes of having so many devices with the same platform. You can root for one device, but it certainly won't work for all, or all the different carriers either. Couple more to try before I decide to give up and pack it in. Never had this much trouble with my other phone...
SOLVED!!!

Wow, thank you. This seems to have worked beautifully. I am now rooted and have the Super User Permissions application on my Hero. Kudos for the link and the creator of the apk!
