Hello Xda-Developers..
Well to make a very very long story short.. I got major phone problems. It started when I decided to Mod. My phone and followed a guide on Youtube to Mod/Jailbreak your phone. And I must admit it worked.. But it took a toll on me. Ok this is exactly what I did.. I moved the Dreamin.nbh file into my SD card.. Held down the Power + Camera button and everything seemed ok. Basically I followed everything step by step and it worked ok.. When I was finished rooting it I installed Jfrek-Rc33 followed the steps to do that.. When I got it on I was very excited.. after. While of reading about it I decided to go and get my old Apps back on my phone.. I went on the market and I couldn't find any of them.. I looked into downloading it online and I still couldn't... Did I do something wrong?? I looked around and didn't find anyone with this problem. I am now running RC-29... so where do I go from here =(... I'm regreting doin this -cries-
PROBLEM SOLVED
How did i solve my problem...?
1. When i modded my phone i rooted it normally and installed a version of JF-RC33.. Turns out this version wasn't compatible with the Market and i could not see a bunch of apps that i previously had with no problem.. So i downgraded to RC29 again and re-rooted my phone following This Guide.
2. After i followed that guide i installed CyanogenMod V4.0.4 Witch turned out to be pretty awesome.. And exactly what i was looking for.
3. Fingerlickin asked me to install a recovery but i had no idea.. What this "recovery" would do.. Until he explained a little and its actually something like a windows restore point just for your G1 witch you can get by following this guide and its majorly recommended.. .
Note: I didn't really understand the Recovery guide.. Until Fingerlickin guided me step by step.. (lol) With the installation of CyanogenMod you should have an APP called Terminal Emulator.. Click on it.. And type SU and hit enter. After that it should ask you if you want to allow this and just hit "Allow" When you move on the next screen type flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img and hit enter again. Next hit home and reboot in recovery mode by hitting Home + Power button... and there should be a couple of options different than before and just hit ALT + B or scroll to "nandroid backup". And tada! you created a restore point =)
4. Next i installed the RaDio from This website this "radio" is pretty much the "drivers" for your phone.. .. Anyways after installing the recovery you can install zip files into your phone without renaming them.. So just download that file put it into your SD card and turn your phone off.. Turn it on in recovery mode (home+power) and hit Alt + A or scroll down to "apply any zip from sd" and there you go! got your Radio on and you should be all set =)
So following those steps is how i fixed my problem.. Of course thanks to Fingerlickin for his awesome patience with me lol.. as you can tell. Hopefully someone uses this little guide i put together and if they have the same problem they now have something to turn to for a solution =D. Thanks again to Fingerlickin.
.. OK bye now. *walks out and closes the door*
going back to rc29 removed you root, follow the root process again but instead of installing JF, use cyanogen 4.0.4 (stable) when you're done we can look into what ever problem you are having with the market which I am unclear what that problem is at this point but it doesn't matter.
Sorry to be soo uninformed about this.. But by reroot do you mean download Telnet + Terminal Emulator.. And do that process again? But right now while running Rc29 I have the Wifi tether for root users.. and its working wouldn't that mean that I do have root?.. Just wondering >.<
As long as you keep using RC29 you have root.

Does the One-Click-Root method still work? As I've read mobiles after August, Google had already patched the exploit?

i have heard that google has had the exploit long since patched, but that it is up to the carriers to send out the update. it will mostly be done away with when donut is released.
since he was running a JF ROM he would be able to do the one-click-root, but david and neoblade is right I've heard alot of people with new phones say it doesn't work.
Cyanogen has also patched it in his ROM's.
I didn't realize carriers already sent out the OTA's. Last I heard was that it would be sent along with donut like david mentioned

Hello Guys,
I’m a Sprint HTC Hero owner who is trying to get CM 6.1
My device has the latest OTA update 2.32.651.2
I went ahead and tried z4root which has 2 options, temporary and permanent. Went ahead and did temporary and it stated that it was rooted. Superuser shows up in my apps, so I went ahead and installed ROM manager as a youtube video said (gave a full successful walkthrough)…I open ROM Manager up and it says – You must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found at “/system/bin/su” or “/system/xbin/su”.
Now using Astro File Manager, I checked those directories and it wasn’t there as ROM Manager stated, but in my SD Card, I see su-2.3.1-bin-signed…
Now my question is, should I try it with permenant root?
If not, what is the recommended next step?
Should I delete/uninstall everything I have that’s related to my previous root attempt and do the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804296
I’m an Accounting major and a noob at this stuff…and I see people helping each other out here which is awesome, but I get confused trying to keep up with some posts where people are sent to other posts and so forth :/
Thank u in advance! Happy Holidays!
-------------------------------------------
Below is the process on a step by step basis from which i was able to complete it with the help of skndeep102. Thanks again buddy!
-Download z4root here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
-Install and run app, press on Permenant Root
-Let it run until it says it has completed
-Once it has completed you will see the Superuser app in your drawer
-Download Rom Manager from the Market
-Open Rom Manager and press on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery at the top (give it a bit as it has to download it and then install)
I had already downloaded the CM 6.1 rom and had it on the SD card
-So i went ahead and hit reboot to recovery in ROM Manager
-Once it is in recovery, go ahead and scroll down to Nandroid and do a backup
-once you do a back up press back and reboot
-Once it starts up again head over to ROM Manager and select Install ROM from SD Card
-Look for the Rom, select it, and it asks you to Wipe Device and Cache, select both
-It reboots to recovery, select the rom and install
I hope i didnt miss a step, but thats pretty much it if i remember it correctly (spent much more time reading than actually doing, lol) Also, if there is something that isnt touched upon here just go ahead and read through as several questions were asked and answered along the way.
Hope it helps!
* Process confirmed to still be working as of 1/5/2011

I used permanent root when I did this
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
i am in the same position...the recommendation to me was to RUU to an older version and then root. I am not sure how to do that, so im hoping someone has another solution.
I personally dont trust those one click root options. Manual root requires a little more reading but I have never had an issue that way.
You can always try the permanent option. I dont see why you wouldnt want permanent anyway. If you use the temporary, its gonna unroot you when you reset your phone.

Did the permenant root allow you to continue with the process?
RUU back to an older version just requires that you have the htc drivers installed and the ruu exe. You just double click the ruu exe and follow the instructions.

I'm in the process of trying it...its been stuck at Rebooting for a couple mins now... :/
Wait and see at this point, i guess...
OK so I did the permenant root...and appearantly it worked since z4root is telling me it is and it now gives me the option to re-root and undo root...Also, when I open Rom Manager, it isn't telling me to root the phone...
However, I saw in another forum that a way to check if it is rooted is to download a terminal emulator and type in "su" after the $ ...When i do that it tells me permission denied....
What next?

It says that I must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed to flash and restore roms.
Where do I get this?
Just a heads up, it seems the root works, the su file is in bin and i tested out drocap2 screencapture app and gave it superuser permission. Worked perfectly...now if i could know where to get ClockworkMod Recovery as the Rom Manager I got from the market did not bring it :/
Use the "un-option" and try another method. I installed a stock ruu on my phone this morning to update my prl and tried the same app. It doesn't flash everything you need like the "flash_image" file. You need that to flash a recovery. I just re-rooted my phone the same way I did back in July. Take note that I am with cellular south and all I had to do is run a batch file and oila, there I am sitting in recovery. If you want to try another "root via app" method, you can try this-->View attachment UniversalAndroot.apk .
Instructions:
Open app and root
Download Rom Manager(which you have) and flash cm recovery.
I still think it probably won't work, but you can try anyway. I think these "rooting apps" only do enough so you can use apps like "AddFree"(or whatever it is) and others like it.
EDIT: In Rom Manager, the very first tab(up at the top) should say"Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". Press that one. It would ever flash for me until I went back to me nandroid.

I see what you mean...Can anyone else pitch in on the aprt in regards to the rooting apps only doing enough for rooted apps use?
I read in another forum that I could just get the apk for ClockworkMod Recovery, install it, and then Head Over to ROM Manager and continue the process? any truth to that?

quick question, performance difference between stock 2.1 and lets say most roms out there a huge difference?
anyone else care to throw some input into my situation?
Happy Holidays btw...
Just a heads up, what worked for me, once I was rooted and downloaded ROM Manager I had to install Superuser.apk, then when I tried to flash clockwork recovery I got the Superuser dialog box asking for permission, then select allow. another awesome program to help is Android Commander that you install on your PC and it provides a gui adb access but you have to have sdk and adb installed on your pc, but if you look around there is info about it available. hope this helps, wish i had more time but i was just home on my lunchbreak, good luck
Ive been reading around for about 2 weeks and so today I tried to root my hero. I ried frist to go the long way useing the android-sdk-windows route but it didnt work so I then went for the z4 root method as seen in a earlyer post. I installed the app. I clicked on root in my phone and it did its thing I guess? It didnt ask me to do a temp install or a perm install. It finally rebooted and all my apps were still on there from android market and it was running horribly slow so did a factory reset. I can see superuser app. I downloaded rom manager and every time I go to click install rom from sd card it says you must install clockworkmod recovery fist and so forth. I am just getting really lost in this hole process. All I wana do is get rid of the damn stock apps... make my hero run faster and if a rom is pretty much a custom background and stuff then install that. At this point I dont even know if the damn thing is rooted or not and I havent been able to find a clear answer on how to root ANYWHERE on any site that will work. It seems 2 different methods ive tried both have failed. If anyone can help that would be great.
I'm not a dev but i had a hard time my first time too. So did you look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=674833. and have you tried to see if you can adb in cmd on your computer? If so and nothing happened and your phone in working like crap now then find the news 2.1 ruu use that then start over. I used this tread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583291). Hope this helped and good luck!!
The lag u experienced is a known issue when u reboot simply run z4root again and it should fix it and clockworkmod recovery is the custom recovery u need to install in order to use a Rom and u flash it through Rom manager and if u just want to remove system apps try root explorer from the market its 4$ but well worth it

The laginess is normal after z4root...tap on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, install it (It takes a bit since it has to download it first). Note that if it doesnt do anything when u press it, uninstall it, reboot your phone and download it again from the Market, that was the only issue i had, everything else went by smoothly.
Just follow what I did on here
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875351) and feel free to keep asking questions, i am new to this also. Looking back, its a process that should take longer than 30 minutes.
I put the step by step of the process on the first post as an edit.
I have a verizon wireless droid 3..
I think the verizon part matters right? lol anyways, i just rooted m phone tonight and ive downloaded root explorer, root uninstaller, rom manager, and ti backup. id really like to "flash"(is that proper?) a new rom onto my phone. I understand one of the major options is steeldroid. /what else do i need to download to my pohne to get this rom? Im a complete noob when it comes to android. Period. I came from the sheltered world of blackberries.
I read a thread on another site which was a walkthrough and gave links, but the bootstrap link asks me question i dont have answers to. Help? :/ i download stuff to my computer?
a lot of explanations and links are in the 1st post from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278056
under "Flashing instructions:"
Just get a bootloader so you can get Clockwork installed and you can install the ROM from there. Just read up about it.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
bootloader? Is our bootloader unlocked?? we have a hijack bootstrap and 2nd-init but yes I would suggest grabbing hashcodes modified version of koush's clockworkmod and installing flashing from there.
how do i openn the .rar file that rsdlite is in?
Do i have to do the beginning steps if my phone is already rooted?
I know u just wanna flash it, but u should def do some reading. Using rsd u can really mess ur phone up! Make sure ur settings/about/system are 5.6.890 and install clockwork first. Then boot into clockwork and u can flash. Only use rsd if ur bricked and its last resort!
Edit: after re-reading, I highly suggest u read the original posts in the rom u want to flash. Make sure its in the droid 3 forum. No offense, but if ur unfamiliar with rar and zip, this may b a little too much

i agree w/ ya......with some roms they suggest using safestrap instead of just koushs modded bootstrap which may/may-not be the same as safestrap and if you use the wrong thing, you may chance bootlooping your phone or worse, so yeah......if he gave specific instructions, your best bet is to follow those for simplicity so that if you have issues you can just confirm using all the steps he listed unless you're an advanced modder and you know what you're doing
and to extract rar files, http://www.rarlab.com is the app you need
thanks for the help guys seriously.
i AM on 5.6.890, and im very familiar with .zip files just not .rar. didnt realize you had to use an outside program to open .rar
isnt clockworkmod the rom manager i downloaded?
i guess im looking for a "How to for dummies" of sorts. i know that i will be able to do this, i just want to do it right. Id hate to brick a phone I just got.
Clockwork is different from rom manager. I think steel droid just released a version u can use with safestrap, but read up on the safestrap and SD threads first! I jacked around with safestrap and bootlooped and rsd'd and bootlooped and now im back. Once u install clockwork mod, create a backup! Then, put the rom on ur sd card and select install zip from sd card. Don't use rsd unless ur really really messed up
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
Okay so I download clockwork and safestrap(install to phone or computer? Links?) And after I do that create a backup, install the new ROM on my sd and open clockwork. And select install from sd...?
Droooooiiid.. the sound forever in our hearts and nightmares <3
Alright, call me mean, but if u can't figure out these next instructions, I can't help u. What's going to happen is ull screw up and then fret because u don't know how to rsd. Its very easy to bootloop!
search the forum for hashcodes tweaked bootstrapper (which is clockwork). I would stay away from the safestrap if I were u. U download this to ur phone, and install it like an .exe. once installed, hit bootstrap recovery, then when u hit reboot recovery, it will reboot into clockwork. Once in clockwork select backup and it will make a nandroid (exact copy). After that u can choose to install the roms zip from sd card. Once its finished, I highly suggest u use the wipe data/cache in clockwork. That will reset all ur data and become a new-out-of-box phone. If u bootloop, then u use rsd.
Be aware that u can brick ur phone. I've saw a few with low batteries get stuck! We all try to help here, but I think the best for u is to read instead of doing. We will try to help if u bootloop, but sometimes there is no fixing.

To add to MrJudylicious post...
I came from a blackberry too, before I got my first Android 2 years ago.
Here's what you should do. First, Familiarize yourself with the Android ecosystem. Flashing ROMs on a brand new phone is tempting, but at the same time, you have no mental reference of how Android was before you flashed that ROM, so it's hard for you to compare and see what's best for you, and what's not. What new feature you was added, what has been improved over your last ROM, etc...
I used Android for 6 months before rooting for the first time, just to give myself some time to learn what's nice about it, and also what I would like for it to achieve, that it can't do without root.
I flashed my first ROM 1 year after that, and this was a great time. Why ? Because I saw how cool things became, I was able to compare the ROM with my "stock android" experience.
I read all your posts in this thread, and you make me feel like you might not be ready to jump in feet first in this. All the ROMS for the Droid3 are in very early stage of development and, if I would be you, would wait for them to become more stable and reliable. I'm not saying that they should not be used at all, just saying that it might not be the best idea for you yo do this RIGHT NOW.
Please do yourself a favor, and keep your phone as it is right now. Root is OK, but be careful.

perfection if i've ever seen it i was in a similar situation, i had a rooted phone and there were next to no roms for the first android phone i got, so when i got my incredible 2 the first thing i did was root it since it was essentially the same exact FW and layout, and i've been mod-happy ever since lol
thanks guys, you've been a massive help forreal. Maybe an idea for you guys to make the learning process better for n00bs such as myself, is to make a thread and discuss some of the terms, acronyms, file names exes apks bak and such. And sticky that thread so when you do your best to try and help someone they can better understand you guys.
Just an idea though. I think ill just wait to flash ROMs and whatnot.

When you unzipped the file did you do it on your pc or phone?? Also you should check to make sure that the .img is not in any folders. Just on your sd and not inside of your download folder or if you used root explorer to extract the
.img then it would place the .img in the extracted folder on your sd therefore you would have to move it from that folder to the sd. Also here is the rom manger apk if that will help

Its the free version not sure why it wouldn't show on the market for you.
Hopefully this helps.

wow thanks a lot guy. im flashing as i type. i will let you know what happens.
this is weird... i installed and flashed cwm recovery and it went fine. but it gave me an error about the license being out of date and need to reinstall the app. and wont let me dload any roms.
Well you don't wanna dl roms from it never do that. Always download roms via xda. Its basically meant to be used as an alternate way to flash a recovery. Also its way outdated. You can always flash the latest cwm. Now that you have a recovery loaded you should go s-off via darch that way you can flash via h-boot and its a great safety net. If you want the s-off.zip let me know.
Edit: Also are you on a stock but rooted rom???

success... i have done it. worked like a charm. i am now running cm7 on it. i wonder if im already s-off since i flashed cm7 and it worked without a problem?
xda rocks... posted the question around 6ish and got what i needed by midnight. the people here are very helpful. i know the hero is out-dated but i had it laying around thought id give it a whirl to give my evo a break and its working great. i have one more question, using the current cm7 rom and current cm7 kernel, can i overclock to the highest with no problem? or should i just stay safe?

Every phone is different. Try adjustment your Max one frequency at a time untill the phone reboots. When it does that's your safe max. Do the same for the min and you should be all good. Warning overclocking will drain your battery.
