got a hero 2.1update1 on .6... tried to downgrade it with no success.
tried unrevoked and root2 methods with no success... just says Killed. which usually means its being blocked... didnt know if any1 knew a method or a way to downgrade this phone
when i try to downgrade to .5 the phone reboots from the app and it just doesnt detect it after that... says its not plugged into usb... odd
tried factory defaults, etc
anything i'm missing?
If unrevoked worked, you would have a new Superuser Permissions app in your app tray

the phone keeps hanging after reboot on trying to downgrade from .6 to .5
I can repeatedly get a temp root using this method:
forum.sdx-developers.com/epic-development/adb-root-exploit-test/
which also works on a Samsung Intercept and Epic (Galaxy S). All 3 phones (Hero, Intercept, and Epic) are Sprint CDMA's.
But I can't get the root to be permanent on the Hero because the it doesn't seem to have the /system/bin/playlogo file and therefore doesn't execute the exploit on boot...
I'm open to ideas...
Hi
i have sprint htc hero 2.1 update 6 and wanted to root my phone so as to get CM6.
I installed universal one-click root app onto my phone
and in minutes, i can see super user app on my app tray.
and now, i am trying to find out if i can install custom recovery image to be able to do a nandroid backup before installing CM6.

you can. I ran into the same problem with my recently replaced hero. wouldnt do the downgrade to .5 loaded up oneclick. got root. loaded up rom manager and then flashed a recovery image from there. then I could boot into recovery and flash any rom I wanted. took about 5 minutes to do.
so now am keeping both files on my sd card just in case I ever have to swap my phone again I can root and flash before I even leave the store.
i downloaded clockwork recovery image from internet and did adb push of this image to /sdcard and used ROM Manager to flash this recovery image. initially, couple of times, the script reported error. i had to retry couple of times and then it worked.
i am now using ROM manager to flash CM6 on my htc hero. so far so good.
thanks a bunch folks for all your hard work. i am very excited it
I currently have the original droid and attempted to root it using super one click and it would lock up or stop running at the prompt: get mount path...... any ideas I currently am running version 2.2
You can't use super one click on the over the air build. I would suggest using zRoot, you can get it right off the market. I had the same problem.
Original Moto Droid
I recently got a replacement phone via my insurance... however this one does not have the froyo update. I would like to root my phone... so that I can use the wifi tether... and it seems there are quite a few other things you can do to improve the performance of the phone. I am unexperienced and would like a step-by-step. Oh yeah... to make matters just a little more difficult... (sorry) I do not have usb cable. Is it possible to do these things without that?
Please help!
Do you want Froyo 2.2? Thats an easy over the air update. Cause then you can get Adobe flash and all of that. If not Im sorry I can't help. But if you want 2.2 then you can get Zroot from the android market. It's an easy one click root. After that get rom manager and make a nadroid recovery backup and flash a clockwork. If you need more help with either of them I can find you a link in this forum I bet.
ok guys i have looked EVERYWHERE. I joined this forum just to ask this question, as the name suggests, i was a recent iphone/ipod touch jailbreaker and just recently switched to android, and am currently not very familiar with the terminology and exploits..
I have been using a rooted A854 on Ntelos. It is a pretty locally based company near charlottesville, va. It is quite similar to telus in canada, but with very close ties to sprint in the shenandoah valley.
when i originally tried to root via a vulnerable recovery with rsd lite and a froyo, prerooted version, it kept failing so my friend downloaded and installed universal androot which worked like a charm. The only thing was that nandroid wasnt possible via that method, and i still didnt have Froyo.
Recently, when i installed ROM manager, I was able to flash Clockworkmod's open recovery, and was able to successfully make a nandroid. I am however interested in installing a custom ROM with froyo.
I have looked into Motofrenzy and Cyanogen 6 (unofficial port for Milestone)[/URL] which were available via nandroid restore.
When i was looking it was telling me to put the file for the rom in nandroid/adbrecovery but i have no such location on my sd card.
It also says that in order for me to maintain 3g access, i need the local 3g band file, which is also not available from the rom sites.
if anyone was successful in flashing a custom rom to the A854 via nandroid restore with custom 3g bands, could you please help me.
Also any additional help would be appreciated...
Thanks in advance

i also have da same phone with ntelos its really a rebranded moto droid not milestone which is a gsm phone so only flash droid roms . in clockwork mod after flashing recovery go to back up current rom and do a nandroid back up . because it only gives da sdcard about 20 sec. to mount it usually say error cant mount just quickly hold down x and power and it will boot into recovery on da second try . go down 2 nandroid do a back up then reboot in clockwork go 2 download a rom and flash away
so your saying that i need to boot into recovery twice? and yeah i know its a rebranded droid but i thought that i needed roms for the milestone (i guess they were referring to the gsm version). Are you sure that any droid rom will work? Because the bootloader is locked down and the roms depend on changing that correct?
OK. i think i found out one of my problems. Since my friend and i were never able to successfully flash a vulnerable recovery, my phones recovery mode kept booting into android default. I had an update.zip with GOTS recovery in it and it would fail signiture verification, but when i booted into recovery through rom manager it would let me into clockworkmods recovery... i updated to it there and it went through so i think i can flash a rom now... if only i werent so chicken
yeah droid1 roms (cdma) i don't know much about open recovery or vulnerable recovery i just used androot 1 click root to get root then used rom manager to flash clockwork mod recovery did a nandroid and been rom surfing ever sense. im on like my 4th 854 and they all have dat boot twice issue it only when u try to like install a rom straight from clockwork
Man, i can not tell you how much you helped me, i have searched everywhere for weeks for what you just told me!
So i can just install roms straight from rom manager and they will all work? freaking beast. Thanks a ton
Oh and btw if you havent overclocked i recommend you do so with an app from the market, milestone overclock... SO HELPFUL, it makes the phone so much faster... i have it set to 1200 mhz and 80 vsel with no distinct loss in battery life.
so which roms have you been using and how did you get froyo
i have da paid version of rom manager so i just flash overclocking kernels from there to go with wuteva rom i flash cause most custom roms max at 800mhz just make sure it says kernels for any rom . i been using a rom i got from the custom rom section on the droid forums called ultimate droid 2.1.0 really customizable if dats a word lol
Ntelos
So you have th ntelos milestone using a custom rom, how did you get your data and mms working ? Do you have the APN setting for ntelos?
I dont have to change those? my data worked but I didn't try mms

ntelos
Ahh ok I just finished flashing to cm6.1 and it works flawless then you simply go to voice dial and say open apn's and edit the mms setting to be ----mms.ntelospcs.net then all is well, I have voice, data, and mms all working.
so m tried froyo but it wouldn't recognize my sd... I got back by putting in my other sd and installing cyanogen 5 again... i really want cyanogen 6.1... ugh... imma try again to update to froyo but with my other sd

flash back 2 your stock ntelos rom click on voice dialer it should say " say a command " then you say "open APN's" sometimes it takes a couple of tries but it will show a list of APN settings copy it down on a piece of paper . now when you flash another rom do the same thing with da voice dialer but change da settings from verizon to da ntelos settings you wrote down press menu click save changes . reboot now you should have mms working . hope this helps
Ok guys thanks for all this help for everyone here and especially me. If someone wanted to make this into a non question post with maybe a step by step guide? i suppose i could but im feeling awfully lazy right now so yeah..
Ntelos
Yea not much love for the Ntelos folks here so we need to stick together
yeah we really do

well today is a new problem, i flashed the liquid frozen yogurt 1.95 and lost my data 3g connection, i can turn it off then back on and it will come on for about 10 mins then 3g will be gone until i turn it off and on again...Any ideas?
well does it switch to 1x or does it just leave... you could also try to toggle airplane mode on/off... every so often my data switches from five bars 3g to 2 bars 1x and toggling airplane mode normally fixes it... but if you lose it completely I recommend you try to either nandroid back to stock or attempt to send mms or call someone and see what happens...

I just flashed Steel Droid 7.1.1 Gingerbread on my Droid today, from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098483
I did the install using ClockworkMod v2.5.0.1, and included all of the optional .zip files included on the above thread.
The Droid will boot into the ROM, but it will proceed to reboot in 1 minute.
I wiped all data and cache using ClockworkMod prior to installing the ROM. I've also wiped data and cache and rebooted, but still get the same, strange behavior.
I'm currently reverting to a backup with nandroid, but I'd really like to get Steel Droid working if possible.
Any suggestions on how to get this going? Anyone else have problems with the Steel Droid 7.1.1 on the G1 Droid?
[Update] I've successfully flashed the latest Cyanomod such that the Droid does not suffer from the reboot problem. It was version 7.0.3 from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#Motorola_Droid
Thus the issue seems likely to be specific to Steel Droid 7.1.1.
I've been running this ROM for a while and like it....reminds me of UD...wonder why ?? I use RZRecovery and flashed just the rom and have had good luck so far....
My D1 likes froyo better..... yours might also....

That's the funny thing. With Cyanomod 7.03 I'm running Gingerbread and it's very happy, so I don't think it's a Froyo/Gingerbread problem.
Is there a difference between flashing with RZRecovery and ClockworkMod?
yeah, You'll like RZ much better.... Fast and easy to navigate
you can always go back.....
Im at a beach house in north Carolina for a week and i rooted my aunts Droid 1 (i have a Samsung fascinate rooted with cm7 and some oc kernel, i have a bit of experience with android) She had stock 2.2.2 and i originally tried to root with z4root 1.3 then i read up it doesn't work with that android version so i then found a guide to root from whatever android version (http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-labs/74028-root-droid-1-regardless-os-version.html) and i followed every step perfectly and everything went smoothly then i booted to see if it worked and su was there so i tried to download rom manager to test the su but it wouldn't cause apparently there was no data... I had perfect cell signal could make calls and whatnot but no 3g data so i broadcasted wifi on my phone and got it that way and installed cm7 and some other kernel thinking it would fix the data issue but it didn't... Im posting this long story so u know exactly what i did and if there's a way to fix this 3g data issue please help me.. I've reflashed many different versions of cm7 and also rsdlite a stock .Sbf file for 2.0.1 and 2.1 still no data please help.
