I've been trying to root my Hero for the last two weeks now with no luck. I just realized today it was already "upgraded" to 2.1. Am I able to root my phone with it being 2.1? I'm new to the whole deal and dying to start flashing some roms to my sd.
have u tried what it says in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
That did it! Thank you.

if you have already had experience in rooting a phone, then what's stopping you on rooting this one?
if you follow the rooting guide, you will be fine. and if you follow the thread about the hero rom you want, you will be fine. there are certain things you have to do to get hero but those guides will have all that explain within their respective threads.
Yeah ur right, nothing is stopping me from rooting this one, but my question is, the other phone was the. RC33 build so I had to downgrade to RC29 to gain root, now, do I have to do the same for this one? CRB43? Or how do I gain root on this one? Thnx

in order to gain root in any of the releases you have to downgrade to RC29 regardless

Alright, that's what I needed to know, thank u so much
alright, so everything work out well, i think.
i got all done, now i just have a problem. I got the Hero ROM and when the phone starts, i get a loop in the HTC screen...... what can i do???
I had my phone looping for some reason that escapes me right now, I just installed Dude's 1.5 Cupcake and then went to SuperHero v2, it launched just fine but was a bit slow. I just got finished installing JACHero 1.8v4 and it is by far the best Hero build.
Also, on SuperHero V2 my phone took a looong time to boot up.
Ok so I got my hero about a month ago and upgraded to 2.1 last week. Terrible decision...wish I could take it back...but I hear that if you root your phone and use a custom ROM you can actually have a pretty decent experience with your phone using 2.1 I can't even list how many problems and how slow 2.1 is.
I do not know a lot at all about rooting a phone, I never have before, and the tutorials on unlocker seem to be out-dated with the 1.5 software so nothing is working for me. I have the ADP setup on my computer, I'm just wondering what's the easiest and most up to date way to root my Sprint HTC Hero so I can use a custom ROM. Any help is appreciated, thank you.
**If your software/build number (2.27.651.X) ends in 6, you must download and run this RUU first to be able to use the root exploit on your phone. If it ends in .5, skip this and click the link in the next sentence.**
Try this and if you follow it correctly, you'll be able to root your phone and be able to nandroid, and flash custom roms and what not.
Final note, all of the user data/settings on your phone will be reset, so it will be like having a brand new phone out of the box. Just an FYI.
Thank you I have successfully rooted my phone...but I'm having trouble connecting to the internet now. I cannot receive any weather data and have no internet connection at all.
I"m having the same problem, even after I set back to factory default. Not sure what I did wrong.

What problem(s) are you having in particular? Not being able to root?
I had my phone rooted and it worked great then my phone was stolen. When the replacement came in I rooted it first thing with fresh 2.1.2 but my phone would not receive or make calls.
So then I had to run the 1.5 RUU to get back to stock thinking I was going to have to get some warrant work. Well that bricked my phone getting the 110 error that many other seem to get too.
I found the fix, and opened command prompt and ran fastboot oem boot. This fixed my phone and I was back running 1.5
After testing my phone, I seen that it made calls with not problem and it was the fresh rom that was messing my phone up. I decided I would not root my phone again, instead just install the 2.1 update. I tried to update through the phone but it did not work so I downloaded the 2.1 RUU and ran it.
I've been using the 2.1 update now for a week and I am unsatisfied. It is incredibly slow compared to my rooted phone. I tried using fresh kitchen to root my phone but it says I have a custom room and fails. (I thought running the 2.1 RUU was like a factory update?)
Anyways, is there a way for my to root my phone again? I am stuck and not sure what to do.
Sorry for the wall of text.
so u found the fix for the 110 error but u cant see like the third topic here on how to root 2.1?
Damn, haha, Thanks for pointing that out.
I'm hungover at work, you got to cut me a little slack. My head is else where today.
Okay, I've done my fair share of searching numerous forums. So, please don't flame for some noobish questions.
I owned a G1 before and had no problem re-flashing a new rom image every other day. Maybe it's the price tag on my N1 that has had me hesitating with rooting it.
Ok, here is my 'problem' I just got the new OTA update FRG83. I would like to know exactly how I would go about rooting and installing a new ROM on my N1.
Also, what ROM is the best out there for the N1, I used cyanogen on my G1 forever so I really trust his ROMS.
Basically I'm just really afraid of messing my phone up, although I'm sure it's just as easy as it was on my G1.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Right... I've read that.
Just making sure I'm following the correct steps.
First: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792016
Second: Does bootloader have to be unlocked?
Third: Recovery Image
Fourth: Wipe/flash new rom
Anything I'm missing?
No need to unlock - the whole point is rooting w/o unlocking.
Flash the recovery using flash_image method.
Nothing else missing.
okay...

Anyone? I would realllllly like to root my device?
This thread seems to help with the rooting process. I am already rooted, so I cannot test it.

As for a ROM to use, I use Enomther's official Nexus. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614427 I have tried several different ROM's and this one is hands down the best. I have not used CM6 since RC1, so I cannot speak for how that is now. But Enomther's was way better than CM6 RC1 IMO.
I'm with stickerbob with being rooted and loved enomther's. Now I've moved to MIUI, and I don't believe I'll be looking back anytime soon. Love MIUI, once I flashed the English translation pack 3 that is =D it rocks IMO. If you wanna look into it after root...

I'm pretty new to this stuff so i went for the easiest and fastest way to root, the universal android root.
I tried it and it wont root it. Ive been reading and im guessing its because my hero is at the newest update.
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Software number: 2.32.651.2
any solutions? or other legit methods?
pm me or post
anything helps
thanks
That version has been rootable for a long time. There is a method here. Can't link since I'm mobile, but the intro threads should have directions in them; or the Wiki for that matter.
Check them out! They're full of good info.
This solution is reported to work for 2.32.651.2:
One click Root APK for CDMA Hero
Search for super one click. I use it on mine when I want to start fresh. It works on the newest update. But you do need windows sdk installed.
HELP! Im confused..Sprint Hero 2.1update
Ive been looking through these threads for a couple hours now and I cannot seem to find any of them that apply to my phone. I have a different build number and all of that. My phone is running super slow and about to bounce off a wall. I am looking to root but I have no clue what all I need to do with the different ROMS and everything to speed it up. Any ideas everyone?
Sprint Hero
baseband version 2.42.02.10.29
Build number 2.32.651.2 CL282911 release-keys
Software Number 2.32.651.2
Any Ideas would be GREAT!!! Thanks
I am having the same issue. I did get it rooted with SuperOneClickv1.7-shortfuse.zip file. However, I'm not sure where to go from here. This is a lot more complicated than it was to root and upgrade my Moment to Froyo. I'm now working on my husband's HTC Hero CDMA build number is 2.32.651.2, Sprint release Android 2.1-1 update. I want to do a nandroid backup from what I understand (no clue how to do this!) and then flash a 2.2 or even 2.3 custom ROM to the phone after wiping some files? I have this process down on the Moment, but the Hero is completely different and I'm lost.
I have ASTRO file manager installed and under apps after using the SuperOneClick, I do see SuperUser. I was thinking I wanted to update to the CM 6.1 ROM for now, until the newer systems are completely stable and up-to-date... but I have no clue where to go from here as most directions I've found don't apply to this build. Since I'm 6 months pregnant and off of work until after baby gets here, I have most of the day to tinker with it, when not chasing a rowdy 3.5 year old around the house. Just need some guidance.
Attached is the ZIP file for SuperOneClick

You need a custom recovery installed to nand and flash. Rom manager is the easiest way to install recovery. Once you have that, backup, wipe data, cache, and dalvik, install rom zip just like on the moment. Also to get to recovery, hold down home then power.

I'll try that this evening when my husband comes home with his cell. I have a recovery file on the SD that I put there via Windows (recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3). Is this a good one to use? I'll download ROM manager onto the phone this evening and go from there. Or, if updating to CM 6.1 should I just flash that with the ROM manager?

That's an older version. You can flash that way. I prefer to go into recovery to flash. Better luck that way for me. At least you don't have to run the updater to have factory to flash like the moment. You do need to nand restore to a sense rom to update profile and PRL though, and then nand back to CM.
CM has a great guide on their wiki... http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Desire_(CDMA):_Full_Update_Guide
