you need to read the stickies in every part of the hero forum and do some google searches and you will see what you need to do. after about two weeks of reading and lurking here you will have all the info you need to make your phone awesome.
heres a good first step for you though
flash a custom recovery, then flash a custom rom.

Rooting your phone wont change the way it looks... you just have root access, that gives you the ability to change any thing you want... like the way it looks.

Now you want it to look different ?
Now you get to decide how you want it to look and operate. Your going to be the one doing this so you got some more work ahead of you... so you best get at it.( You actually didn't think it would be magically different by just rooting it did you ? ) That my friend is just the first step of the actual process..Now...go look at all of the different custom roms built for it and all of the different custom themes available..then... once you have a good idea of what you would like on your phone..start reading all you can about the rom & theme of your choice.Start at the beginning of the threads and read everything there..all of the issues and all the problems folks may have had and how they got fixed. This will save you a-lot of grief once your actually ready to make the switch.
I have found there are plenty of good folks here that will help you once you make up your mind of what you want to do to your phone..
Good Luck...& Good Reading to ya

Will I lose root forever if I go back to stock?

My buttons have stopped working very well, and my hero won't vibrate anymore. I'm rooted but don't want to take my rooted phone to Sprint to get it looked at. So if I go back to stock, will I be able to root again? I've seen some people say yes and some say no. Many thanks in advance.

YES
There's guides on how to root the latest RUU and the latest OTA update in the Development section.

You can always re-root
Okay, I'm confused. Are you saying that I'll lose root forever, or that I'll be able to root the newer ruu if I go back to stock?

Just to be sure you are clear on what will happen. When you go back to stock by running the RUU, you will lose your root. However, you can just re-root after taking it to Sprint.

What should I do?

I just got my notice for official update to 2.2. Do I need to unroot,recripple and undo my lagfix first? Please really need your expert help. Also will I be able to reroot and all the other things again if I have to undo them? Thanks for any an all advice an help you can offer.

Try searching before posting. This is nothing new, just AT$T trying to reach customers who don't hang out in forums like this. This is the same update that was released on 2/24. If you are currently on a custome ROM, you would have to flash back to stock using Odin. beware, if you update to OEM Froyo you will not be able to root or install CWM with the new 3e recovery. I'd suggest you do some reading up on the issues and benefits of stock Froyo before you make up your mind to upgrade.
Thank you for your help, But if I'm not going to be able to root it back then I wont update. Unfortunately I'm not very experienced and I'm afraid of bricking my phone so flashing roms kinda scares me. I'd love to be brave and do all that kind of things. Oh sorry I tried to search but my app kept force closing.

There is a way to root the stock Froyo, but the old methods either don't work or need to be adjusted. I'd wait until I was at a PC so I could do some searches and read up on the issues. Froyo is definitely better than Eclair and a worthwhile upgrade, but still somewhat lacking compared to what the devs here are cooking up.

[Q] Newbie question, please don't kill me!

So I had an old cyanogen mod flashed on my phone and nothing was going wrong. I think I flashed it in late November 2010, early December 2010. So I was fine with that and then I got bored. So I flashed the Dilli ROM and the market stopped working so I flashed to Serendipity and that's where the real problem started. Every time I would get a call, I would lose service automatically and the call would fail. I just thought it was a problem with the way I flashed it. So I then flashed the Phoenix ROM hoping that would fix the dialer problem but it didn't. I am currently on the newest phoenix ROM and I can download apps from the market, send and receive texts, make calls and even use the internet. The only thing I can't do is receive calls. I know when a call is coming because the phone starts to ring but before it shows me who is calling, it automatically loses service and fails the call. Has anyone else ever had this problem? Is there anything I can do? Any information would really help. Thank you!!
Have you tried flashing to stock?

The fact that you flashed multiple roms without knowing how to flash back to stock is idiotic. Flashing back to stock is the one thing you should know how to do because it can save your phone.
Read this ENTIRE guide and follow it step by step or you will continue to run into the problems you are having. These anomalies cant be diagnosed by us because your phone probably has files from numerous roms on it by now. Flashing back to stock and using a master clear allows you to diagnose issues much easier.

Hey noob, how about next time you post in the CM7 sticky instead of opening a new thread?
Deleted
Because I'm an idiot
That's most likely the modem. Find out what modem CM7 uses and as long as it's the same base as you're using now (i9000/i897), find the CWM for that modem and flash it.

You call that a slam? Tearing him apart? You must be a liberal. The ROM-specific stickies are here for a reason. All these posts outside the stickies just make sharing that knowledge you speak of harder. Why is it so hard to comprehend that if there's a sticky with a dedicated subject that maybe that's where any posts on that subject should go? XDA is also about rules and they exist for the benefit of all.
Please use a search before opening a new thread or post rom questions in the provided Q&A rom thread.

Where can I get a rooted version of gingerbread?

Need a reliable rooted rom. Where can a rooted gingerbread be found?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
In the Development section. Rooted/deodexed/etc.
A link to the rom would be appreciated. Too much stuff to sift through.
