Help 2.1 root!!!

Im some what of a newb here but I follow directions well. So I attempted to root my CDMA Hero after the 2.1 upgrade. I followed all the steps but when it says go to the tray bar and you will see superuser permissions I never do! its really aggravating because i have tried over 10 times by now. please help

Are you looking in the Notification Bar on top (you pull this down to open it) or the Application Tray from the bottom (press the button with a triangle inside the circle)? The Superuser Permissions app should be in the Application Tray.

Which upgrade?
If you ran the most recent RUU from the sprint site, it is already patched against root. You have to run the older version.
Go to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
Scroll down to Regaw's second post and click on the link that says, "My Personal One I used for testing"
Run THAT Ruu.......THEN proceed to root via his instructions at the beginning of the post.
Good Luck.
P.S. Your software number must be 2.27.651.5
If it has a .6 at the end, you can't root

it is actually in with the other apps the ^ button

thanks!
Thanks alot! I now own a perfectly rooted HTC Hero!

If you downloaded the Sprint Update OTA after upgrading to 2.1 you will need to run the original 2.1 RUU then root.

switched
I switched the 2.1 software to the one that ends in .5 instead of .6

I had the same issue then realized that it was due to me being on the newer 2.1 and I cannot seem to get the phone to flash to the older one. I keep getting connection errors!!!
I heard a lot of it was due to windows 7 but people posted about the new htc sync that is windows 7 compatible is suppose to work. I have that yet i still get connection errors, and unfortunately i don't have any computer with an older os on it!

Alright, I was able to solve my problem!
If you are getting a connection error just after phone reboots and attempts to go into boot loader try this:
1. Turn off phone
2. Boot into boot load by holding "Volume Down" and "Middle Scroller" and then push and hold down "Power/End Call" - you will be in boatloader when you see three skateboarding "dudes"
3. Push "Volume Up" to enter fastboot (usb) - you will see the top item on the menu say fastboot if you ARE NOT in it already
4. leave phone on and in bootloader and then start the RUU update and all should work!
This is what worked for me with my issue, hopefully it will help someone out - i know i was getting stressed out about it.
And sorry for posting in this thread for my issue.

Phone stuck on HTC screen after repairs

Ok, so I had an HTC Salsa, and idk how but the screen somehow broke. I didnt drop it or anything but when i took the phone out of my pocket it was completely shattered. I sent it to the service center for repairs, and they sent it back to me saying they've done everything they could. The ****ty part is all the hardware is in place. They put in a new motherboard, new glass, new screen, everything, but the phone wont boot up it just keeps showing the white HTC screen. Its like a bootloop. I was hoping someone could help me, if this bootloop can be fixed or not somehow? Any answers? Please?

ok firstly welcome....
now then...you sya its stuck at htc screen, is this phone completely stock...untouched.
if it is...then you will have to get the ruu for your country and install it.
unless you have all the relevant updated software ie bootloader done then the process gets easier....
explain what u got mate

No it wasnt untouched. I unlocked bootloader, got cwm 5 from this thread's method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1478678
I didnt install data2sd, and I had the HTC Thing ROM, I re odexed it and was using links2sd with it. When i got my phone back my bootloader went back to the old S-ON version, lost my cwm 5 recovery and the phone doesnt boot up just stays stuck on the white HTC screen

ok....
reflash the recovery from bootloader
using adb cmds plug phone into computer
>adb reboot bootloader
now reflash recvoery using the method you did.
now recovery will be installed.
>adb reboot recovery
now your back into recovery reflash the rom u want.
Now word of warning....
what you tried to do will **** it up..i know i did it too. reodexing inst the wisest of options.
u can still use links2sd on deodexed version but would you want to....you dont get as much space even with a gb partition...it doesn't fully move the apps into that storage area...

Theres a PH11IMG file too should i install that zip too? Coz i have a little problem there. My phones battery is low and it keeps showing up in the bootloader. So it wont detect the zip file and give me an option to install the zip

if your bootloaders unlocked like u say it is you won't need it...anyway the pm11img.zip is hboot not bootloader.
if u typed my cmd in then you wouldn't see that bit.
its easier using dos cmd for this...its quicker and can override what ever the phone wants to do.
charge your battery for half an hr.
min 30% is needed but 50% is recommended

Oh damn did I say unlocked? Its locked now. I had unlocked it before sending it for repairs, when it came back that pink strip that said unlocked it gone. Its locked now i guess. So I do need the PH11IMG thing but it wont prompt to install it in the hboot coz it keeps showing battery voltage too low

ok....dont do anything........................
do u still have your unlock file u got from htcdev? if u do...rerun that program again and it will be unlocked then goto bootloader and do as instructed
and if that don't work then who ever u sent it redid the software....so then i need your software info from hboot mate

The unlock code.bin file? Yea i have it with me but i forgot what to do with that file. How do i run it again?

ok asuming the token file is in c:\android still then use this (copy & paste cmd line)
>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
that should unlock it again...

Ok thank you so much. Im gonna go get a battery from my friend as mine is completely drained for this job. Lets hope this works.

You can't as far as I'm aware , just ignore it till it boots into your chosen rom , it does no harm unless you plan to lock the phone and sell it where I would guess it will disappear ?
Sorry I have no experience in this as I've never relocked a phone

Read this thread. It was the first thread I read when I joined and I consider myself very lucky for that.
Make sure you follow ALL the steps..
Now please answer a few questions..
1) Are you able to boot into bootloader mode? (using volume down and power button)
2) Does it say unlocked?
3) Did you find the rom on this forum?
4) Did you install a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP?
First read that thread
Edit: Wait a second.. CM 10.1??

Bro, you can only install desire c roms on your phone, you may br mistaken but roms are ABSOLUTELY NOT INTERCHANGABLE. Try flashing a rom from the desire c android development forums.

First download a recovery image. Save it in the platform tools folder of your android SDK install.
Go to bootloader, plug your USB cable into the PC, enter fastboot. On your PC navigate to the platform tools folder again, Ctrl+shift + right click and select "open command window here", or something similar. Type fastboot devices to see if your phone is connected. Then fastboot erase cache and fastboot flash recovery <name of your recovery image>.img plug out your cable and try to boot into recovery.
Should fix it

Hi to all, I am using htc desire c golfu and I am facing a problem with cwm red message "this build is for development purposes only" specially when i am trying to install via fastboot any boot.img (such as kernel or rom image that is responsible for wifi to work and the phone doesn't boot to homescreen, reboots again with the htc logo and cwm red message below)!. (As with Nameless rom guide,What i haven't done in those two ways i tried to install the images was to take out the battery, I boot to bootloader by holding volume down + Power!
So, what I had to do 2 times, was to relock and flash again the stock rom!
P.S. I don't have a problem installing rom zips with sdcard
Thanks for the help!

You need to have your bootloader unlocked. Install a custom rom and then install a kernel. Make sure you full wipe before you install the rom. Try the lowest possible frequency. Make sure you have the correct kernel.

I have to mention that I have done the root two times (I have a backup, full wipe with cwm and then flash zip from the card), but i stacked when I had to flash the boot.img (first was when I have flashed the "auto boot img" from revolution mod 3vs3 for fixing the wifi & second when I wanted to flash a nope kernel img with revolution job rom)! It's like the phone doesn't want the command boot.img (even though I see on my screen that it has been flashed but when I reboot, cwm red message appears)!

Try lower MHz kernel

HTC one M7 TWRP problem. No OS installed. Please Help

I bought an unlocked htc one m7 that workd with my carrier.
I then go home to find out the google play store wont open no matter the steps i tried to get it to work.
Clearing the cache, restarting ect. Accessing android file transfer. Nothing worked.
I called htc and they told me to call google. google told me to do a hard reset. When i did that. i went into twrp mode, which is when i realized the phone was rooted. I then did a complete whipe of absolutely everything. Wrong move on my part.
I should have done factory reset within the normal bootloader screen itself. However i did, and i deleted the OS accidentally and the phone doent say its rooted anymore. When i do a restart twrp asks me if i want to root my phone as it is not rooted and i think teh SuperSU has been removed as well. However, on the normal bootloader options screen from holding teh power button and the volume down button it still says unlocked and tampered on the top.
Anyways, my question is. I am trying to either flash a stock jelly bean rom (my preferred software) onto the phone, or just lock teh bootloader and flash the RUU.
My phone connects to my pc and says fastboot usb. My computer doesnt recognize it through htc sync manager ect. But it says that.
What do i need to use ADB sideload on my mac?
Do i have to install ADP and SDK tools on my mac? How do i use teh terminal commands, what is the process?
Should i just relock the bootloader adn install the RUU?
Can i instal a previous verson such as the 4.3 jellybean original software for the htc one m7 through a stock RUU?
Will installing the RUU give me the latest version of OS for the m7? Cause i want jellybean.
Please answer each of these questions with as much info as you are willing to give. That would be greatly appreciated.
Will post pictures if requested as i have another htc one m7 i can take pictures with, i am first time posting so not sure how.

HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle bricked

Hi, im new here and opened an account since I couldnt find any help on Google. I was trying to root my phone and honestly I didnt know what happened and now im stuck on fastboot, when trying to select recovery on hboot it pop ups HTC logo and then error "this device is for development only" and it returns to fastboot.
I used AIO kit v2.0 and I can still use it to lock and unlock but thats about it.

Go and buyqnew one instead

Try installing TWRP and flashing a ROM,
I think you can get a stock ROM from the RUU.
