Hey guys I am totally new to andriod thought I'd drop by and say hello. Loving this phone so far. If someone could point me in the right direction with this question. Has anyone got their sprint hero rooted yet( over at unlocker there's a disclaimer so I am not trying it yet)
Welcome To Android
Unfortunately nobody rooted the hero at the moment.
My guess is when more people get it we will get root.
It would be awesome if someone proof me wrong lol
cool thought so, I am used to waiting I just switched from a palm pro (850) so I can wait for this

I have the Rogers HTC Dream and I got it on the day it came out. I absolutely love it.
The reason for this thread is for me, as an absolute n00b to this whole flashing ROMs and technical stuff, to ask you geniuses: how can I possibly get the Hero ROM onto my phone? I really, REALLY want it. Also, if it is possible, can you please guide me to the guide that lays out the step-by-step process please?
Thanks a whole lot.
No custom roms work on the rogers dream -- yet.
Root your phone, enable paid apps, purchase open home, get the hero skin and that should tide you over until someone figures this mess out.
I am a little disappointed by the stagnation of work being done on the rogers dream. Root is great, but it hasnt realized its full potential. Can any other dev gurus HELP?
I know. I need to know as soon as possible. The Hero ROM is driving me crazy...

I agree, I am really surprised that nothing has really happened with the rogers dream. Maybe Haykuro is silently working on it...
Let's hope so...
Haykuro help us!!
K guys, as some of you know the reason we haven't see any work from one of our most knowledgeable dev's (vilord) is because his vogue is busted.
I'm wondering if anyone has one they'd be willing to donate to him?
I'm making no promises about what he'll be able to release. When he was developing his specialty was working with the RIL, and I'm sure he'd start poking into it again.
Anyways no need to make a speech, most of you know who he is and what's he's done for android on the vogue. So if you have an alltel, sprint or bell vogue you'd be willing to donate, let me know by PM and I'll forward you his info.
I might be able to help..just acquired another vogue (has a busted camera button) that i'd promised my wife..but i'm sure i can bribe her w/ a new phone of her choice that'll free up one of the vogues..i'll get report back if/when the deal's accepted
i second this motion.
1+ from me
I have a vogue that i plugged into a gps charger, led flashed pink and never heard from the phone again lol. it is dead if he needs it for parts it is his.
Oh hamburgers, my coworker just gave away his 2 vogues to his customers and didn't even realize that it can run Android(my bad for not showing him because he is all about the Droid at the moment).

Honestly I'm not sure what to suggest, try reflashing your radio, re-run icoke, hard reset, flash your vendors latest rom? Those would be the steps I would start with before even contacting vzw.
I've been lurking here ever since I got my very first Android device, the beloved Nexus One and have been contemplating rooting for a long time. I've watched the videos 10x and read all of the articles 10x.
Last night I finally had enough of stock and rooted and OH MY FU*KING GOD!!
The developers on here need a golf clap for all of the hard work they've put into the Nexus One.
I was impressed before but I'm completely wowed now.
It.
Just.
Works.
FAST!!!!!
I now have the superphone I've been reading about.
Thank you guys!!
PS NOTE TO PAST SELF: Stop being such a pus*y and do it.
I still haven't rooted mine...want to tho. And now I think it's time....
maybe not.
I rooted on tuesday night and have to agree that its well worth it. The phone is absolutely amazing now. The only issue is that I can't put it down.
I wanted to post a thanks as well but figured I'd just jump on here. Without all the informative guides and mods the developers on here made, I wouldn't have done this. So thank you.
i want to root mine but im afraid of voiding the warranty. im thinking of sending it in. i have a problem with my touchscreen.
LOL! nice thread! i felt exactly the same. When i first got my ATT n1 i was skeptical cause its was a $600 phone and i got it day 1. so i wasnt sure if the initial produtcion would have problems. 5 days later phone was running fine, so i said screw it! lets unlock, root, and install a custom rom! I absolutely love the phone now! Well, before i loved it as well, but now woooo! LOL. And if you follow the steps (not that hard to follow) youll be fine! Big thanks to all the developers here!
archillion - what kind of problems with the touchscreen are you having? if its the calibration problem (your touch doesnt register in the right place) a quick restart of the phone or power down and power up will fix that problem. Google is "said" to be working on fix on this. If its that bad why not get a replacement since youre still on warranty? And get to rooting?
i rooted mine the moment i got it lol...but ive been with android since the day the g1 came out and i havent had any problems so it never worried me..the only thing that was going through my head was DESIRE ROM DESIRE ROM DESIRE ROM lol

Can you list the sort of improvements you experienced after modding? Like how much faster the UI, or launching applications...etc.
I have chosen not to root mine and live with the stock ROM for a while. The voiding the warranty has a little to do with it but I also like the pushed ROM updates from Google. I'll root it and put it through it's paces at some point, but just don't need to yet.

Same.. I got a little tired of too much customization with my TP2.. wanna bask in the "stock glory" for a while
I'm still happy as standard. Yeah I'll probably unlock it in the future, but for now it's brilliant as it comes.
The warranty is a large force behind this of course.
which rom are you using now and what is exactly better zhen in stock...
to say its faster is easy but how do you recordnize it mine is very fast from stock

Gotta admit. For stock firmware, its pretty decent. They've definitely addressed the 3G radio issue cuz I'm getting a good 2.8Mbps dl and 1.5Mbps ul. Seems like they've hit the freq sweet spot with mine.
Iv' got my self a my touch 3g slide 2.2.1 update and i looked at this post

Root vs tethering
Howdy all If you want Tethering but are afraid of losing your warranty Tmobile and HTC released an update for the myTouch 3G Slide.
It allows Mobile Hotspot and USB Tether and WIFI Calling. Cool Eh?

Just saw this recently gaining momentum in the GNex Thread, thought of contributing some guffawing RootNerd jokes here too!
Post a funny conclusion to the sentence.
Have fun
