This post is intended to be a gathering point for root progress (or lack thereof heh) on the Sprint CDMA Hero.

Have you guys checked if you have fastboot commands at all?
tried getting access to fastboot and couldn't
maybe I did something wrong
I really hope I dont brick my new Hero lol
I checked That unlockr site and it said there method did not work for CDMA Hero so im guessing the exploit was fixed in this software.
So we must now find a new exploit to get su?
I am also, patiently waiting. Hoping to have some of the big guys already working on this for us.

I'm also eagerly awaiting info on this. I know it's only been out for a few days, but two of my friends bought them and are anxious to gain root access. Mostly for tethering purposes.

Hmm, same here. I feel kinda stupid, haha. I've tried holding home+end and then back+end and neither work. Holding home+back+end actually does boot into fastboot but it immediately asks if I want to delete all my personal data, which scared the hell out of me so I just removed the battery for a sec then rebooted normally. When the screen is up though, it does show the exact same info that salamandar posted:

I wouldn't mind using my phone as a guinea pig if anyone has any theories or needs something tested. I just wish someone could get nandroid working on this beast. Using one of the backup apps in the Market will work for now though, just in case.
tried vol down + power?

Has anyone tried this method? I don't think my SD cards are supported. Can someone with another brand give it a try? I read somewhere that people have had success using Kingston cards.
Downgrading to an EU Hero ROM is probably one of the quickest ways to brick your shiny new toy!

I'm not sure about Android phones, but didn't you brick your phone (permanently) if you flashed a WinMo CDMA phone with a GSM rom?

I would SERIOUSLY think about this before you try, if this works (goldcard etc.) you will be flashing THE WRONG SPL to your phone and you will probably brick it....
If you want to try, be my guest, but i'd wait for other meaning of rooting (several people are looking at this currently....)

You're a confident one.
Go right ahead I'm sure it will work and you won't brick your phone. Just imagine how good it will feel, you being the first to root a CDMA Hero.

And how to fix it!?
Basically for the last two days I have been trying to root my phone unsuccessfully. The problem is with the hboot driver and it not working. The first time i installed the driver it seemed to go fine, but after plugging my Wildfire into the usb I got a new hardware message and it was trying to find "ADB"..
Anyways unrevoked obviously did not find my phone so today I have uninstalled the driver and tried to update it again. At first it seemed to be going well, but then it asked for winusbcoinstaller.dll from disc.. I tried to link a picture but because of my low post count I cant.
Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it?
Many thanks in advance and sorry if its in the wrong section.

Sugar. Cheers for that. I thought i was running 2.1 as i have never done any upgrades!, i didnt think my phone came standard with 2.21.. lol.
Guess i'l check back in the future to see if there is a fix.
My Wildfire was also shipped with 2.2..
Just took it out of the box and tried to root -> not this time...

Yes, you are. The downgrade guide is valid only for the CN Froyo Release, which had a HBOOT version 0.83

Hboot 2.10.0001
S-on
Radio 2.15.00.11.19
I followed the 2 step unroot process and was successful getting s-on but only after I downgraded the radio. I have the PC36IMG on the root of SD card but when it scans, it shows it but then quickly says no image or wrong image.
I realy need some help and appreciate and helpful advice.

Sent my phone off to fonefunshop today for S-OFF so we'll see what the result of that is, with regard to IR-Key from my communication with them, they say S-Off doesn't seem to work despite its claims, they've had complaints about it not working.
With regard to the downgrade the C/S rep I asked said they cant guarantee anything, it claims to be able to but they dont know specifically if it can.

Companies claim all sorts of junk to try and sell there products. more so with this sort of thing and when it doesn't work they just claim its due to a non stock ROM or incompatible version etc

Just got the M9 today.
Unlocked, rooted, Installed TWRP, S-Off.
Then I was trying to update to the latest 1.32.40.17 firmware, but I forgot to superCID (11111111).
My cid was HTC__059.
So, the phone stalled forever...had no choice but Vol Up + Power button. Then the phone was tuck at a weird screen with few options of reboot the phone, reboot to bootloader... But no matter what option to choose, the phone just did not reboot to that.
Vol up + Power...Vol down + Power....I dont remember what I pressed cuz I had to press those combo many times, but luckily got back to the download mode. & things went well.
So......SuperCID right after S-Off people.
What a close call :laugh:
This happened to me, but it happened for no reason. Screen said press this for reboot then just went back to the same screen. Had to hard reboot to fix

Good advice. Wish there were more threads like this, cos I am not new to flashing but new to htc..
i am unlocked and rooted, but still S-On. Contemplating to go S-off.
So, after S-off then SuperCid, does that mean we can flash "any" rom from any custom rom/any region? but if we are 1.32 we cannot flash 1.40 roms right? we must go back to stock to take the update? i think that is where a few (who are new to htc like me) are confused.
I believe that with S-on, u can flash custom rom that has matching base/firmware.
Put your phone in download mode, the OS tells you your firmware.
Look for roms that has matching base/ firmware.
You dont have to go back to stock. You can flash the latest OTA, it will update your phone to the latest firmware, then flash latest rom.
S-off & superCID let you flash any firmware, any radio, any rom from any region.
I do think $25 is worth the S-off for my case.
I flashed the latest firware, but didnt like it much because of some kernel bugs. So i went back to 1.32 for more stability.

Not sure mate, I take it u are on maximus?
Basics are u need to install sunshine app and run it. It will tell u whether it will work before asking for payment. It won't work on ahrd for whatever reason, if u are on maximus rooted and the sunshine app asks for payment then u are good to go

As long as you're only flashing signed firmware for your model and carrier. Anything else will give an error with S-on.

I haven't heard anything. You could always contact the sunshine team. http://theroot.ninja/
He should appear soon. I got the answer that the guys have everything ready.

"Chimera Tool" supported U Ultra S-OFF two days ago but i didn't try it because of the high price that i can not afford.
And where did you get v7 java card, curious about that.

Definitely don't waste your money on that. Chimera gives you a "temporary s-off" for the duration you're in download mode when you run it. Once you reboot you're back to s-on.
Hopefully it's not left my phone in a completely write protected state. I'd pretty strongly recommend waiting for sunshine.
Only reason I tried it was that the guys that sold me this worthless Java card let me run it for free since their card didn't work for ultra as advertised. They neglected to mention the result wasn't permanent or I wouldn't have done it

Wow. I've seen a few of those and a few people in those places who are actually capable of flipping the S-On/Off switch with just a PC and a cable.
Root, Get a custom recovery (TWRP), flash it over fastboot and then Flash Magisk or SuperSU.
