I have been reading all the steps needed to root one. But I am confused on the 91 build. Seen MoDaCo Custom ROM for Nexus One with Online Kitchen - Froyo FRF91. This has the superboot with the rom so another is not needed?
Really? All those views and not one reply? I guess I will try Modoco's rom since I think it will work and looking at different sites give different descriptions and is hard to be confident that I understand it all.

My reading of MoDaCo is that those of us with a stock FRF91 OTA who do not want to UNLOCK OR do not want to flash back to earlier versions are still waiting for Paul to cook a ROOT version of FRF91.
So is this a build of superboot? First time rooting a nexus one so idk much

that almost happened to me...the day 2.1 came out i was deliberating between updating my phone to 2.1 or gaining root and getting a nicer rom...but prior to the official 2.1 update i had been researching since march when i first got my phone...maybe even before i got my phone i was learning about rooting n stuff...i felt i made a good PERSONAL*** decision by rooting my phone that same day
***I am a newb and am still learning. one should not root until they know ALL the pros and possible cons of rooting and flashing roms....

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.

Hi this is probably a really stupid question but I am new and don't really know what I'm doing lol. I was wondering if there was an easy way to upgrade my sprint hero to 2.2. Google offers the official stock android but I don't know how to install it and I can't figure out the search here. Can someone lead me in the right direction? Maybe link to the right thread? Thanks for the help

Here is a good place to start for general questions and answers:

One thing is for sure your going to have to root your phone before you can do anything so here's the rooting guide for 2.1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
The official source code for 2.2 doesn't just install on our phone everything has to be packaged in a rom and if its not supported by htc we have to do it ourselves so if you look around in the forums you'll find a lot of good 2.1 custom roms and darchstar built a 2.2 froyo build from the ground up. Good luck.
What is darchstar's 2.2 rom called
Just wanted to double check, newbie here but willing to learn. You have to get to your phone into a root statues, at which point your going to flash a new rom onto it with either 2.1 or 2.2?

that is correct
its not too hard once you finally get set-up
i suggest trying out a basic rom without all the bells and whistles first
then once you realize you can load a rom and you mess with it for a bit, try flashing a new kernal, try using overclock, try out a new launcher even *adw or helix.....*, then if you're still feeling good you can try jit
by then you should understand a bit more.
ok i come from the Verizon incredible forums and i need just some quick information because i am rooting and flashing really quick for my friend.
ok i got it rooted but it has an outdated rom because i used an outdated rooting tutorial. all i need is directions on flashing the radio and hmm, i think thats it if its even any different from the incredible (maybe just link me to a thread about it)
and maybe some recommended kernels im probably leaning towards cm7 as the ROM.
In development thread go to AOSP thread labeled AOSPCMOD Gingerbread CM7. In OP there is a link to the wiki. Giant red README. It has a step by step coming from stock. I'd link you but I am on my phone and don't have a clue how to do that.
