Hello, I helped my friend root his phone, all went well. now we were looking for a new rom, any rom that is not the stock rom will work. He has the CELLCOM hero not sprint. Does anyone know where we can find a stable rom that will work with CELLCOM.
thanks

I have a non-sprint regional carrier. All the ROMs in this section work for me. As long as CELLCOM is a CDMA carrier, I believe the ROMs should work for you as well.

I'm usually over at the vibrant forum but my friend really wants me to work some magic on his phone. He has an HTC Hero with Cricket service, originally Sprint. I want to know if I root and flash a ROM to the phone will it undo anything that Cricket has done to give him service?

You can make a nand and try it. I doubt the rom would mess up the service, radio is below recovery/rom levels. that said, I don't have cricket, so who knows.
I have a request, please go back into jaybobs ROM thread and edit your post to say nothing, because it has NOTHING to do with his thread. If you can't find an answer in Q+A you shouldn't go into a rom thread with a completely unrelated question.
I hope you're able to help your friend.
Thanks. Will do.

I am looking at rooting my phone. I have a few questions but I'm not sure where to post at because I'm new on this site. I read through some root instructions, but the creators were not specific on some areas.
Does it matter what carrier I have if I root my HTC Hero as long as it is CDMA? I have Alltel. The instructions I read for this were not specific as to carriers, they just said CDMA HTC Hero.
My other question is when you root your HTC Hero, is flashing a new ROM to the phone part of the rooting process or something different. The instructions I read also did not clarify this.
Thanks
Any information will be greatly appreciated.
I don't know whether the carrier matters or not when rooting. You don't have to flash a ROM when rooting, but I would venture to say the the vast majority of folks are rooting to add a custom ROM. Especially with the Hero, due to it's limitations.
Edit: I found this post here. So I would research that a bit as far as carriers.
If you want to stay stock but remove bloatware, you can just root and remove with an app like root explorer. I would think about at least an overclocked kernel.

i know there are people on here who rooted from Alltel, the only thing is the majority of people have sprint.. so most of the custom stuff will come with sprints banner on it.. there are ways to change them and none of it is too hard at all to do.. its not a bad idea to try out some custom roms even if they are just custom versions of the stock rom..
i would check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=674788 it gives a break down of everything you will need to know both with the site itself as well as rooting your hero in general.. a good thing to keep in mind before posting a lot of questions is google is your friend, a search of the forum will bring up most answers to anything.. a lot of people around here get really ticked if you post questions that have already been answered, or if you post it in the wrong section.. but check out the link, any other questions feel free to ask..
I found this blog on rooting. It doesn't say anything about carrier. Does anyone know? It just says CDMA, which is what my phone is.

you can root being alltel, rooting in general is not carrier specific.. if you flash certain roms it may change your provider banner to sprint because it is the most common, but even that can be changed back and it doesnt affect your radio or prl.. if its a CDMA hero the CDMA root process should work..
read the post that posted above yours, and check out the link.. literally tons of information about rooting..
check my hero rooting guide, it is NOT carrier specific and will work on Alltell. fast and simple way to root.

First of all i want to thank everyone who shares their knowledge with others.
I tried to read a lot of topics to understand basics of android. i think i am going pretty good but i need you guys help at this point. i couldn't find an answer or i didn't know how to search.
I have a n1 with froyo 2.2. i purchased it in eBay and it shipped to me from USA I recently used this passimg.zip
''passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_MFG_Shipment_ROM.zip''
from shipped roms c o m. thanks to the member ''Rusty!'' he provided the link
This stock rom worked for me, I can receive updates and everything but the rom doesnt have Turkish LANGUAGE option. I think i need a stock rom which supports european languages.
anyone can give me an idea how i can reach the stock rom which has turkish language in it?
ps: i am planning to install this new rom to my phone with micro sd card. please advise me if it is impossible.
Problem is you can't get a stock ROM with the European language the only one that has one is the vodaphone ROM and there is not passimg for that ROM so you will need to root to install a custom ROM with the language you are looking for. Cyanogen has most languages so if I had to make a recommendation that would be it.

Please Help
Since the HTC Hero was introduced to Sprint first it usually is based on Sprint.
But can someone please help. I'm trying to find a Sense Rom for the Hero with Alltel service so please help cuz my GF is gettin on my nerves saying that partial root made her phone run sluggish and ide like to overclock it so she'll be quiet. So if you posted a link that would be grand
many thanks
it shouldnt matter the rom should work on any carrier as long as it was for the hero.

Everyone's phones run differently on different roms, but try out a couple of the recent Gingerbread roms if you can do without "sense", you'll gain a lot of functionality from the phone. Deck's rom, CM7, & Jaybob's have always run good for me on the Hero and there's a couple of others (Evervolv & OMFGB) that I never had a chance to try before I gave the Hero to my son.
***EDIT*** If sense is that important to you, Liquid Sense & NFX seem to be the most popular.
Just like Bierce22 said... you should be able to Flash Any CDMA Rom for the Hero!
If only there was a Ginger-Sense Rom like they have in the Eris forums :/

Hello Guys,
i want to sell my Incredible S and now its my turn to flash it back to the original HTC-Stock Rom. Till now i used the Android Revolution Rom with a EXT4 Clockwork / Recovery Mode . The Incredible was bought in Germany so the Languange of the Stock-Rom should be German or Multilanguange.
I allready checked this Thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922
but i dont know which of those roms is the one iam looking for nor how to flash it back. Do i simply use a RUU-Installer or do i flash it like i did with the custom rom?
Thank you for your help!

You can just flash the RUU. I managed to get my phone back to stock that way. Others needed an extra step, changing the hboot first. I did not. But use the search function. This question is already asked and answered many times now...
Use the WWE variant...

Hello wallytax,
thank you much for your answer. I realy tried the search-function but i was not able to find a helpfull thread about my question. Sorry about that.
So this one would make it :
RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.12.405.7_Radio_20 .2804.30.085AU_3805.04.03.22_M_release_187295_sign ed
?
As much as i understand "WWE" means "World Wide English". Is this also Multilanguange (for german)?
Others needed an extra step, changing the hboot first

Yes the WWE ROM is also multi-language with German.
I used this one:

This is the newest Stock rom... Good luck! Hope you will succeed..
Hi Guys,
i tried the RUU-Installer wallytax mentioned. It worked like a charm!
i just had to install HTC-Sync Software and after that the Update went trough without any problem.
Thank you very much!
Make sure your phone is s-on before you sell it.
