Rooting a N1 build FRF91

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.

Superboot FRF91

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

[Q] Any good Froyo Roms for the Hero

I need a good Froyo rom for the sprint hero. Any good ones?

Most people on here would prolly flame u for not searching first nd im not by any means trying to be rude and btw the way welcome to XDA ... BUT u should at minimal do a search b4 posting cuz someone else more than likely asked the same question or if not u can find wat u r lookin for. Check out CM 6 by darchstar... it's prolly one of the only ones that r relatively stable at this point.

+1 on the research. Standard operating procedure is to check the forum (in fact, the very one you're posting in) for the thing you're looking for before asking. I join Vision in welcoming you to XDA, but please in the future do some basic research before asking questions, or worse, starting a thread for it.
CM6 by Darchstar, and the Extreme Blue/Vanilla, are the only 2 Froyo roms in existence for the Hero right now; even those are only "Tests", they aren't official releases. That said, if you are willing to accept a few bugs, the most recent version of each is pretty solid (I'm using Extreme Vanilla as my everyday).

It depends on what you're looking for. The froyo roms do not contain working flash.
You may look at NfiniteX's or there's that guys roms. Both have a2sd, jit, and full working flash based off the 2.1 ruu.

Not to mention this was posted in the wrong sub-forum, but I can fix that.

My Apologies
I have looked through the threads and was just curious to see if anyone really had a Rom to suggest. I have an Evo which I have rooted and installed my own Rom which I cooked my self. I was on here for my son because I haven't worked on Hero roms before, only Samsung before I switched to the Evo.
Sorry for the mishap.

CM6 Worked wonders for my phone. No Lag. Very Fast. I would suggest it. Lookup the topic and first post has links. you will need to flash gapps after the rom which can be found by searching.

how do ya do it? i used clock work mod to flash the latest vanilla and all it does it stay on the boot screen

you may have a phone that can't handle certain speeds, try darch's rc1, it's capped at 691 for people (like me) who can't boot anything higher. Also, make sure you wipe data, cache, dalvik, and sd extension

[Q] Rooting Questions

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.

[Q] g1 rooted with androot now which rom

just rooted g1 on 1.6 with androot and installed rom manager do i still need to upgrade the radio. i want to run 2.2 and possibly overclock it any help would be great

There are numerous Froyo ROMs available in the development forum. Each with their instructions on how to install them and the requirements beforehand.
Most of these ROMs will have settings which you can use to overclock. If you are rooted, which you'll need to be, then overclocking wouldn't be too difficult with the available apps already out there anyway.

depends on which rom you want.
I recommend Sparksmod 2.1 which is what i am currently using.
Its very fast , one of the best froyo roms out there.

OH and ive recently been hereing a lot of good things about superaosp dm rom, I might actually try it myself, if i do ill let you know how good it is.

SuperAosp is lighting fast. I am using it myself, and I garantee it works like a charm. See my sig for the link to the Developer site. (FYI it's in Spanish, so you'll have to translate it if you do not read Spanish).

Thanks guys I appreciate all the info. I just need a little help for a friend. I didn't want to flash a Rom on his phone and him being a noob have a bunch of stuff crash and him get nervous about trying roms. Since I don't have a g1 I haven't tried any roms for it. Really appreciate your quick responses.

The best thing to do is read the instruction until you understand what needs to be done. Once you feel comfortable and understand the DEV instruction. Then there should not be any problem.

Maybe let your friend trial a couple of ROM's before he settles on his preference?

[Q] Rooting 2.2.1

Hey there, It seems all my searches on rooting the sprint hero on 2.2.1 are bringing up results from 2009 and 2010. and mostly for 2.1
