Still possible to root my hero from 2.1?

Hi, I'm new to the forums and I'm sorry if this is a repost, but I was up until 3AM last night trying to figure this out and had no luck.
Yesterday I managed to root my girlfriends G1 and install a custom rom onto it. I had no experience with it before, but managed to do the whole process fairly easily. After using her phone as a guinnea pig, I decided to look up how to root my sprint hero. Heres where things get difficult. Nothing seems to be working :/ I think its because I updated the firmware a couple days ago to 2.1(eclair I think). Is it still possible to root the phone, possibly via downgrade? Every article I'm finding on how to do it is from january or so, so something recent would be greatly appreciated. I'm a complete noob to all of this, and any help is great.

NB1 (4.4.2) with safstrap 3.72 beta. Rom help and some questions.

Hi everyone, so I finally have my 32gb i337 rooted and with safestrap 3.72 beta. I need help in finding the best most stable NB1 and safestrap beta safe rom to install that can give me two most important tmobile features witch are wifi calling and mobile hotspot. I did not have any luck with the guy who helped me with it remotely, he was very pushy, impatient and inconsistent when communicating. We tried installing shostock and gravitan rom but they appeared to not wanna install. As of now I learned how to use the safestrap alone and will no longer need his assistance anymore (thank God, guy had me stressed with his tone of voice) so all I need is a good compatible rom with my system and I should be good to go. I find it strange tho that the first attempts of installing didn't do anything. Could something had blocked the install? After Some Close observation I noticed that after the attempted flashing the Samsung logo would be circling slow and in one attempt at flashing there was just a boot loop. The guy was not a help at all cause as i said earlier he just seemed like a miserable person who lives his life agitated. Add of now I have root and the stock backup is working flawlessly, as always help from you masters is greatly appreciated.

You can find all the info you need in this post.
Don't know what your firmware is but the oldest base you can go is NB1 (4.4.2).
Root the phone with towel root.
Install either flash fire or safestrap and flash the desire lollipop rom.

Hello! I don't want to start a new thread just yet, but I'm also stuck in a bootloop after a mishap during a manual update. Is it possible to recover any of the internal files when recovering the phone, or is it impossible? Honestly, I just want the files off of my phone more than anything else. There are a lot of memories there that I would love to save...I know, I know, I should have backed up those files, but that chance is gone now. :crying:

A bit of help needed.

Hello Mates,
So basically I've been wanting to root my phone for a while now so yesterday I finally decided to do it n right after I unlocked bootloader my phone gets soft bricked (Thats what I think anyway). It's stuck on the "Yureka Plus" Logo. Anyone Know how to fix it? I've googled but whatever I do doesn't help me n its the same.
.I have the STOCK ANDROID version of the Yu Yureka Plus and not the cyanogen one. It would be really helpful if someone told me what to download and some basic steps which iI have to do cause I am basically a noob with this.. I will be really greatful to you guys!
Also, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section.
Thanks
