Ok so I'm new to moding. I have a Sprint Hero. I went to the sprint store and they updated me to the official 2.1 update. My question is can I still mod my phone even if I have the new 2.1 soft ware? And if not, is there a way to go back to 1.5 ? and if so , how do I even do that ? is there a tutorial around here to show me how to start doing this? Yes im a tech but this is not my filed. Can someone point me in the right direction.
Can't do anything yet to an official 2.1. Sorry give it some time

If you search here on xda for the guide to rooting you will find one, however, I think this one gives you a little more info and is super easy to follow. Btw, this one uses the same method.
http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-sprint-hero/38911-guide-root-rom-faq-tutorial.html
Also, there is an auto rooter out there called Fresh Kitchen found at geekfor.me which is pretty cool.. it's made specifically for the Sprint HTC Hero based on 1.5. I used it to root my phone and it work flawlessly and it's pretty much painless... once it's rooted, from what I can tell, you can pretty much try out various roms from the different devs that are out there. The main thing is, you may have to wipe your phone when you change to different roms.. geekfor.me/category/android15/ is link for the auto rooter.. you have to download it and run it on your pc then connect your phone via usb cable.. he has video tutorials on the website to help..
Rather than looting half of London, I spent my time giving something back to the Android Community.
I've compiled this guide on how to root the HTC Legend vodafone. It's pretty simple in my opinion and I've tried to make it as easy to use as possible. I have included a lot of images and started right from the beginning.
List of Guides:
How to root the HTC Legend [H-BOOT 1.00]
How to un-root the HTC Legend
Advice on choosing ROM's

I think I've added in all the credits, but if I haven't then please tell me. I'm also making more guides for noob Android users.
Thanks for using the guide, and if you have any suggestions, please leave a comment.
N.B. Guides have since been taken down due to newer methods of one-click rooting.

I just rooted a day before you posted and believe me this are the steps I followed...and woo..its rooted
I hope this post is made a stickied
Very nice, and lots of pics! It should help a lot of people out.
Thank you. When I tried to root my HTC Legend, I couldn't find a proper guide, so I thought I'd make one to help other people out.
Hi Thanks i just swap my iphone with htc legend from my gf and planning to root the phone. this would be my only guide, hopefully no issue will happen and i will report back. the guide looks good and simple but the only thing i find is, TOO many files needed. maybe i can combine all of them and put in 1 place to help other newbies !
but i still shock to see number of files i need to root an android ! and the files are sooo big aswell ! different from iphone, you just need a website or 1 software to jailbreak it hehehehehe - relax im an android fan boy now !
Every Android device has its own rooting method. The one of the Legend is really long; but don't worry. It's not that hard as it seems. Also this guide is really good!

Error 140 means that you need to re-create the GoldCard. Your phone must also be connected as, "Charge Only". You could also try plugging your phone in another USB port. Also check that you have AndroidSDK installed.
Added another guide with some advice on choosing ROM's. I'm also working on a simple un-root guide.
How do I check hboot version - my gf has a legend

Same as DHD - figured it out.
Hi! Thank you for posting such an amazing guide! But one problem that I am experiencing though, is that why are the images unable to be viewed?
Hmm,
I've just checked the guide and everything seems to be working
K I shall try it out again.

Hmm,
But when I went to the webpage the picture could not be seen. Just a little cross on the top corner of the pic. I used Google chrome to open the page.

You don't need sdk to install cwm. Superoneclick has adb in it.
But to answer your sdk question: developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Can you help me with the steps that you should follow for a successful root?
I tried what I found on XDA but unfortunately does not work.
Or at least can not do it properly.
Can someone for me to say my step by step how to do.
Thanks
PS: I do not want to upset anyone but I do not know what to try to go to the root

Please try to stay within one thread. Making other threads doesn't get help any faster it actually does the opposite since no one knows what your other posts were about and then they cannot help you.
