Does anyone know how to root a nTelos HTC Hero 2.1? I have read some of these guides but none say anything about nTelos. Its all Sprint stuff.
I'm just asking because I want to be 100% sure I do the right stuff, can't afford to buy a new phone.
Thanks

ngholson's guide to non sprint cdma hero rooting
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581869&page=53#post8358998
Not sure which forum I should have used, sorry.
I'm still a little confused because it just says Non-Sprint, does that mean that it will work for my nTelos Hero?
I haven't seen anyone in that post that said anything about nTelos.
Just Cellular South.
Try z4 Root from the Android Market or XDA. It's been able to root pretty much anything I've tried it on (LG Optimus S AND HTC Hero with the newest RUU).

It worked for my nTelos Hero running 2.1.
Also u could try hero rooter apk its a bit more complicated but its petty straight forward and u can do it all on the phone if u don't have a pc

I searched the forum and looked in the informative threads and didn't find an answer to my question. Basically, I have the G1 and my friend is getting the MyTouch. I have been hacking the G1 since I got it preorder so I know about this stuff. I will need to teach my friend how to do all that for his phone. But will the roms we have now work on the MyTouch? I know it is lacking a keyboard and has some slightly different specs. But I am assuming they will work on his after proper rooting and all. And does it root the same way or is it going to be something completely different?
thanks

myTouch can not be rooted at this point hence your friend is SOL. Check Sapphire threads

I Actually just got my HTC Hero a few days ago and i have not been able to send picture messages. Im on Tmobile US and have tried just about very combianation of apn's possible and with a Big NO GO. I Also contacted T-mobile but they were unable to help me and i even talked to various reps.
Ok so well everything else on my phone works just fine such as calling, sending normal text, using the internet and RECEVING Picture! But i just cant send them. Is there anyone else with this problem and were you able to find a solution? I've had my phone rooted since i received it so i dont know if after rooting it stopped working cuz i never tried that. I would like to unroot my phone but i just dont know how. I would need a nandroid backup of an unrooted image so if anyone wants to help me with that. I'd appreciate it!

Update: After trying the Hero forums with no luck since the forums are small and most users are new to android i decided to give the DREAM forums a go... Has this happened to anyone with the G1??
Thanks to anyone who can help!

I don't know how that's going to help since they don't even have the G1 on the page.

I might go as far as to say that it might be a network issue with the carrier. But it's hard to say. I have tried the Hero build on my G1 but unfortunately, I haven't even tried sending MMS. I'm reasonably certain that if it wasn't possible then someone would have noticed it and posted it along with the other issues (such as bluetooth and led). If you've already tried all the APN's then I really don't know what else to tell you. Sorry man.
Did you do an upgrade, or wipe your ext3 partiton, fix the partition and wipe the device. Then re-install the ROM. That worked for me when stuff like Gmail and that were broken.
from what he said he has the HTC Hero phone not the G1 with the Hero rom, i dont know where you would go for technical support
Yeah, actually there doesn't seem to be a place to go for technical support! The hero forums are dead. nothing new has been done to the Hero besides being able to root!
im guessing i will have to send my device back for a refund as i really do need MMS to work!

Cool Thanks.. Ill wait!
Admins please put this where it needs to go. Searched for over a month to no avail. any chance to get a carrier sub category in devices? Everything cdma seems to be sprint specific (or atleast not alltel specific) and takes a ridiculous amount of time to find info. Used touch pro for 2 years and could simply use hardspl and flash.. Not so simple with android. Anyone help please
Everything in this fora is Sprint-specific because... most of our Heroes are Sprint. Anything that's marked Non-Sprint CDMA hero is you.
yeah I know that but that doesn't mean the root method will work for my hero, alltel hero's are stock 2.2, and I've found no way to root alltel specific.

As it is the exact same method for the desire, evo aria & incredible, surely its the same for the legend?
Mod edit: XDA does not like spam. Nor sock puppet accounts.
Just got a reply from the unrevoked team that they need a htc legend to work on it. I suppose this problem arises due to the fact that legend is not available. If you need root ,they have to be provided with a handset to work with. Please check their twitter stream for more updates.

At least they are being fair to us...
unlike [email protected] who is totally ignoring our call.
If any of the NAM users out there can supply hardware , they say they can do it
tell him to go to a local store and say hes a reviewer form a website. they may give him a loaner for a few days or a week
Well its not that easy for reviewers as you say mate , you need to know which carrier in NAM is carrying the legend too
I guess my suggestion kind of sucked BUT!
If you checked out this thread

You should send the info you've gathered to unrevoked.com and see if they can give you some pointers and tips to help you out.
They said they'd try and get root but they don't have a legend to work with.
Maybe they could communicate with you and get something working?
Maybe even run some software that let's them use your comp via the web so they could technically use your legend but not have to be there?
Just a though but it could work

The whole virtual pc thing could work for anyone with a legend too I guess?
This is a route to root.

Just wondering if anyone has an update from unrEVOked on this?
How can we bug them?
You don't really need them to root it for you good sir. Check the sticky in the legend android development forum. if you have 1.32+ ROM version, you need to downgrade to 1.31 then root. simple as that. if you're running 1.31, just root.
Thanks Joeball88 - am aware of that method however the 'one click' unrEVOked sounds so much more appealing. Knowing me I'd screw up the downgrade method, let alone actually rooting the Legend!
Not afraid of giving it ago but afraid of not being able to restore my Legend should something go wrong (the Legend community is a little quiet and its not guaranteed I'd get help if I posted about my bricked Legend!)
I'm gonna close this. XDA does not like Spamming, nor sock puppet accounts.
I have a CDMA HTC Hero from ntelos and recently upgrated to the HTC Desire also with ntelos. So, now my Hero is just sitting around.
I wanted to give the Hero to my wife, but ntelos won't let me do this unless I sign up for another data plan. As it stands right now, I have a data plan for my Desire and my wife has no data plan for her standard cell phone.
Is there any way that I can switch phones from her standard cell phone to the Hero myself? Is this possible at all? Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks. I'm a totally new-b at this type of stuff.
Probably not legally. If the carrier requires a smartphone on their network to have a data plan, then you will have to get one if you want to use it.

It's absolutely possible. There is a thread within our Hero realm that has it around here. Search for it, it's here. I remember reading it a while back when that same question was asked.
Happy hunting! (and I would link it, but I'm about to head to formation).
Thanks for the replies. I've tried doing some searches, but I'm not sure what to search for exactly. I'm having trouble making sense of all the terminology (esn, prl, etc.) Any idea of what to search for exactly?
Thanks again.
