To all devs out there ,im been trying to root the hero for a week now ,ive tried every guide going also the gold card with 10 different sd cards with no luck.the rom what ive got is the release 2.73.405.66 rom.it has the new nboot is thats why i cant flash.is there any way i can wipe all date and software so i will have nothing on the phone and then install an earlier rom, its just an idea as im starting to lose it with this fone.i hope someone can help me or do i have to wait for the official update from htc
with this rom version you need to create a goldcard and downgrade your rom before you can install a custom rom. if you have problems with the goldcard you should be more specific.
waiting for the update doesn't seem like the best idea, because it might take some until a security flaw is found that allows to root the rom when already installed on the phone. if you have the custom recovery image you will be able to install the (pre-rooted) update short time after it was released.
You should be able to use fastboot for this issue.
Search around the forums, (also http://hero.modaco.com) and read about it.
All you need is the fasboot tool, a usb cable and the "debugging mode" switched on at ur phone...
everytime i create the gold card and try to downgrade the rom it states boot error 140.i follow the guides very indepth i get the serial number from the sdcard than i reverse the string and then replace the first two numbers or letters with 2 zeros how can you tell when the goldcard is on the sdcard.when i replace the sdcard back in sdcard reader it states that the folder is empty.im quite clued up on winmo but android is giving me a headache
wouldn't the fastboot give you the "remote: not allowed" error?
anyway, you can try:
start your phone by holding back and pushing power, you should see three skating androids. put recovery image in the folder where your fastboot.exe is, open terminal and go to that folder and type:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.3.1.img
if that works report back.
for the goldcard i can't help, never did it.
at last im rooted thanks for for the help .the way i did
(with the phone in normal mode)
1) Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/...
2) Open Command Prompt ->
Put in the following text ->
C:\Users\Username> cd\
C:\>cd android\tools\
C:\>android\tools>adb push recovery-RA-Hero-v1.5.3.1.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-Hero-v1.5.3.1.img
C:\>android\tools>adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-Hero-v1.5.3.1.img
3) JOB DONE!

I guys, I seem to be having the same issue as the OP. Having tried the above it tells me that there is an error writing recovery: Permission denied. Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks!

Getting exactly the same. Tried the goldcard method numerous times using 3 different cards and always get the bootloader 140 error. Tried the above with same errors... very frustrating!
Mine is a UK T-Mobile G2 with build number 2.73.110.26, any suggestions gratefully tried!
Edit: Finally managed to sort it. I was using "RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_1.76.405.1_R3_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe" - this didnt work. Once I found and tried RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe it all clicked into place!
Thanks for all the info provided on these forums, cheers!

Hi
I have tried making a goldcard, and installed via. the RUU shown here.. 405.5 .. but then I tried using Flashrec to get another recovery image, it failed making the first step...
So is my phone rooted or did something go wrong ?
the phone is still unfortunately not rooted. I would've tried the fastboot method

just curious but did anyone just try to flash the older version without bothering with the goldcard...i dun know what i did to my htc hero orange but when i was researching i was told i needed to downgrade to root. I tried to take a long shot and used htc sync and old orange ruu..and somehow it just downgraded itself.... i know it might not help but its a long shot!

Very similar story. I did make a goldcard but hadn't got as far as finding out how to extract the update.zip out of the RUU exe, in order to use it. I tried running the RUU to see what would happen & my Hero downgraded.
Hi I've been reading these forums for ages but only just signed up, I'm looking to root my hero (surprise) and complete newb.
Basically current build/software is 3.32.405.1 so 2.1, followed the rooting instructions exactly, then rebooted holding home and power on buttons but it just boots straight into a red triangle with exclamation mark in the middle of it, I can hold power and volume up to get a small menu with apply sdcard: update but tried that after getting frustrated and that said that the file wasn't verified.
how do I get the normal recovery screen because already have a villainrom on the sdcard.
You need to do the root process to get to the care bear, then flash villainrom on the care bear, before rebooting.
That will get you sorted
Well I rooted using universal androot, then used the teminal to input the su (press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (press enter) part of instructions but at no point do I see the care bear :S
I have the same problem as Ejen. The phone is root i have superuser permission i do titanium backup .I put RA-hero-v1.7.0.1 with Better Terminal Emulator. When I turn off phone and press Home&Power I get a picture phone with a triangle. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
Yes, this is because stock rom automatically reflashes recovery with the stock one each shutdown iirc.
You need to stop this happening, but I can't remember the command. When you have root using universal androot though, you can stop it happening.
Or maybe it's too early for me. Wait till I've had a coffee or two and I'll revisit this...
Perhaps you can edit /system/etc/install-recovery.sh. A quick look trough /system didn't find anything like a shutdown script so perhaps this file is run by the android environment.
I had this same issue the other night, been searching for a fix, hopefully one appears here soon, thanks Pulser_g2, i was hoping to install your 1.5 Rom

Ah seems I'm not the only one well at least I wasn't just being silly then, well tried it multiple times but still seem to have no success even tried the unlockr websites method with no success either.
If anyone knows thanks
Right... Are you on 1.5 or 2.1 just now?
Could someone (preferably the most tech savvy here) if you're on 2.1, try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726118 and see if that works.
I'm trying to work out what's going on here...

I'm 2.1 and had been using your other guide to root my phone but embarrasingly got stuck at stage 2 whilst trying to set up ADB (my knowledge of cmd is very limited to the point I only know the command tree ), saw the guide on XDA and thought that looks really simple so tried that instead, then tried unlockr method when XDA's didn't work now given up and asked for help

Ok,... So how far did you get on setting up adb http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/s...de-Setting-up-ADB-and-how-to-use-it.-(Windows) ?
I had done up to part 4 using ADB, opened up cmd prompt I couldn't seem to push stuff to the SD card and was unsure what I did wrong.
When checking the USB works part 3, I used the link chose part 2, HTC sync users > ADB I couldn't find android_winusb when updating the driver software. I'm probably missing something or being silly now but I don't know

Type adb devices, and if you see your phone's serial number, then you don't need to worry about drivers. Remember to "cd" into the correct folder first.
I'll try that but CD did nothing I'm running windows 7 and it sticks on C:\users\username Can't go back

Where have you downloaded your Android SDK too?

I guess that is already on the phone RA-hero-v1.7.0.1 as you said stock rom automatically reflashes recovery. I suppose that the method VillainROM Roots 2.1contains RA-hero-v1.6.2.img. What will then happen with recovery if i try to do again root with VillainROM Roots 2.1?
When you try that method, you get the phone booted into patched recovery, at which point you take a nandroid backup and flash a custom ROM.
this prevents the recovery being lost. Just try it
I'm not at home and can not install ADB and run runindos.bat. I have on SD card recovery and FroydVillain 1.5. That's why I tried this method.Next week I'll be home and if someone does not fix the problem i will try the method you suggested me.
Can I try to put again recovery with Better Terminal Emulator, maybe recovery was corrupted ....
i went through the same thing!!

helloo!! i apologise if i am interupting or butting in whilst your in the middle of other solutions... i just saw the title and jump right in. i went through the exact same thing just 2 weeks ago!! unfortunately for me there was no successful forums or websites at the time... it sounded like a simple problem, with no simple solution.
this may not be what you where looking for, but its a very quick easy method that definately worth a try.
so... am i right in saying you have the official OTA HTC android 2.1 update?? and you now want to get this rooted?? and have you also tried rooting using the two common methods, the "one click root" and the "unrevoked" one? thats wat i did and i kept being stuck at the same red triangle and exclamation mark.
those methods (and countless others) will not work with the official htc hero android 2.1. (as far as i know) what you will need to do is downgrade the phones software. check htc's website and look for the older RUU and using the computer get your hero back to android 1.5. (under no circumstance should you upgrade your 1.5 android to the 2.1 android via HTC's OTA update... its only going the remove the root access!!!! - always reject it)
then continue to root as per the numerous rooting guides. done? now, obviously you will want to flash an android 2.1 rom. if you want to keep to htc's original 2.1, you can search for this in the forums under 'development'. or go ahead and flash the custom roms (villianrom).
thats exactly how i did it. im not entirely sure if this is the info you are after... but reply back and ill be happy to answer any query - big or small. (i should warn you, im no expert - but this forum is filled with the earths most powerful brains - u should have an answer in no time!!)
I have an HTC Hero. I ran the simple root method and got Carebare response.
I too have read numerous threads in the forum here and elsewhere but can't seem to get past the USB section.
adb says no device
I can use HTC Sync to sync data to the phone.
The SDK is installed and I have previously used it to capture screen shots of my device.
If I try to run one of the RUU executables, it fails with a [114: USB Error] (number may be wrong but the message is right.
I can mount the SD card and copy files to/from it.
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit on a Quad Core AMD CPU.
If I do the Home/Power thing, I get the same red triangle as described in the 1st message of this thread.
Fwiw, I have successfully and repeated loaded ROM's on my previous phone (HTC S621) so I am not a complete newb (but i am newb to Android).
What am I missing? This shouldn't be this hard (at least from what I've seen posted anyway)
I've got 1.72.405.3 Android 2.2.1 on my HTC Desire HD. I made a mistake by deciding to ROOT it :'( Went thru the following steps:
1) I dloaded SuperOneClick 1.55, turned on USB Debugging, turned off access to SD card then clicked on ROOT. It kept getting stuck at "Waiting for Phone to Respond...." So I dc'ed the USB cable & then my phone hanged entirely & I got really scared So then I removed the battery & turned it on again. But it was running rather slowly & was lagging quite a bit.
2) So then I read that SuperOneClick kept giving the "Waiting for phone to respond" msg cuz it needed its proper adb usb drivers. So then I went thru the whole process of trying to dload the Android ADB USB Driver. I dloaded Android SDK, then opened its console & tried to dload the driver from the options given. I searched & I searched but I don't knw wot the hell I was doing wrong bcoz I cudn't find the Android ADB driver ! I tried PDANet & all the other available choices from different websites such as this one (XDA Developers) & theunlocker.com. I even accessed the Android SDK folder thru cmd prompt but it wasn't showing any SERIAL.
3) so then I realized rooting was near to impossible at the moment. But my phone was lagging bigtime bcoz of the crap I had just made it go thru ! I tried fiddling with USB Debugging & everything but NO SUCCESS. It's not speedy & fluid like before. So I accessed FACTORY SETTINGS & reset my phone. It seemed to b fine after the reset but was still not as fluid as before (before I tried to ROOT it). But stubborn that I am, I then dloaded VISIONARY+ & made one last attempt at ROOTING my phone. I clicked on TEMP ROOT & save an image. But it got stuck at the screen where it says "ROOTING."
4) After finally accepting defeat, I wanted to remove ALL traces of any kind of rooting so I ran FACTORY RESET once more. This time after being reset, my phone seemed more fluid but still NOT like it originally was before the all ROOTING. I installed Go Launcher which itself is quite speedy but the phone still doesn't feel fluid & speedy like it originally was.... :'(
PLZ HELP ME !!!!!!!! WHAT DO I DO ?!?!?!
Download 1.72 RUU from DHD android development forum, posted by football, then just run that
Meaning I shud dload it, put it on the root of my SD card & then just run it thru ASTRO ? That's it ? Anything I shud b looking out for ??? Is it possible for me to downgrade the firmware & then root it & then install this 1.75.405.3 firmware over it whilst keeping my root ???
Downgrade is not possible. The RUU.exe is PC executable file, just run it and it will guide you through the process.
since when did SuperOneClick work for the DHD?
It does not.
didnt we already warned u 2 days ago, in your other thread, that since ur phone is already on 1.72, u cant root it?
Why did u still attempt to root it?

I don´t see how this is helping
:'( I cudn't help it... I messed up, I accept that :'( I also want root
Can't you boot into boot loader and wipe from there n u r back to stock again?
I've had the same since I tried it without knowing.
What you do is the following;
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Take the battery out, leave it alone for 10min.
3. Put the battery back in, and start it up again and wait 30min.
if I'm right, you wont have any lag troubles no more.
Actually, I dloaded 1.72.405.3 RUU by football as directed by jkoljo Then I flashed my DHD & voila everything was superb. But I still want roooooooooooot :'( Ahhhhhh one day..........
Ok so found by mistake but will help ones with no sd slot to make goldcard
Ok so first dl. Superoneclick root then the auto rooter for 2.1 will let u know what its called later(ultra easy rooter)
Next 1a.open super1click and ulter easy rooter
2a.in super1click do the shell root
3a.the run ulter easy rooter,once finished u will be at the fastboot screen
4a.click fast boot to go to boot loader screen and then hit vol up to update"esrpimg" once that is done u will be back to 2.1.
5a.once the phone has loaded back up to 2.1 and root just go to recovery and load a rom
NOTE: put update.zip on root of sd so u can load cwm other wish u only get root
AND sry still no way to get soff....
HOPE that is better........for the pickie ones
That is by far the longest run on sentence ive ever seen. You should edit and complete your thoughts. As well as add info on to what your actually explaining. Such as a complete history of the problem. And links to the original related post.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA Premium App
Is this just another root method or will this also downgrade H-Boot, allowing someone to achieve S-Off after downgrading from 2.2 and H-Boot 1.0+
Your phone info in your sig says that your mytouch slide is S-Off'd. If it's true that you can achieve S-Off using this method, that would be huge news.
From what I have tryed alparev does not get soff when I did the downgrade all got changed buttbut the bootloader and the hboot will not allow me to get soff so so far no luck
the hoboot i have after downgrade is hboot 1.02.0000
now i dont know what the old hboot was so if anyone knows plz let me know so I can try to push it sum how
Thats sig is because I have muti slides so plz don't mistake it for what I'm posting now all this was tryed on new slide with 2.2.1
Has anyone ever tested this? I don't have a MT3GS anymore but this seems like a pretty awesome and pain free process to gain root.
I would also like to know if this works?
Yes it does work have done it muti times just to check and check YES it works.....
YES this surprisingly does work. The only problem I had was that the update file wasn't on my SD card so I continued to get a signature filed message when I tried to update. All I did was to copy the file from the mtg rooter fille over to my SD card and ran the update and it worked perfectly. I'm rooted and very happy!
Had to get my slide replaced and the new one came with 2.2.1. I used this method and it got me back to a rooted 2.1 state just like it says. Thanks for coming up with this one.
Really quick and easy! Thanks so much. Too bad T-Mobile is shipping these with 2.2.1 on them, no more S-Off...
Outstanding! Thanks for the tip. Worked flawlessly.
This would be awesome if there were links to where to download everything so someone doesn't download the wrong thing by mistake
important links
I agree with the last post ... links are critical here. This was the easiest rooting process I have ever encountered. Below are links left out by OP. Follow OP's instructions with these files and you'll be rooted quickly and painlessly.
super one click (v1.7 worked flawlessly for me)

ultra easy rooter (mt3gslide specific)
http://www.fileserve.com/file/y8yFvWb
This method should be the new rooting method for folks receiving replacement or new slides with 2.2. This should, IMO, be in development.
Thank god for this method. My phone up and died and the replacement came with 2.2.1. I tried a few other methods that failed. This one worked like a charm.
nice
wish i would have stopped back here would have saved me from having to downgrade, root, then upgrade back too 2.2 smh.... lol but nice to know yeah!!!!
Very helpful
I am going to try this method soon. Do we need anything else other than those two files to get our phones operational again? I want to try cm7 nightly, but want to make sure the phone would work before trying to put on another rom.

1. Download the 2 files in post #13/ thanks NJAZ (SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse.zip and mt3srooter.zip)
2. Extract them to their own folders on the desktop of your computer
3. Run the .exe files within each of the folders (open the programs SuperOneClick and mt3srooter--run as admin if using Vista or Win7)
4.In the Super1Click program, click "Shell Root", wait a moment til it does its thing
5.In the mt3gs rooter program, click on "Root Me"
It will tell you to turn on the wifi on your phone, and you must do it within 30 seconds, so hurry
6.Your phone will reboot into bootloader mode if all goes well. Use your volume buttons to navigate down to the fastboot option, and choose it with the power button. The phone will scan your sd card and find ESPRIMG.zip, and take a while checking the file. When it is finished checking the file, press the volume up button to confirm that you want to flash the file. Once it is finished flashing, you're rooted on stock 2.1 Eclair ROM.
I dont know if these programs put the update.zip for CWM onto your sd card too, I already had that and the ESPRIMG.zip on my card when I used this method, so if all else fails you, put a card into your phone with these files on the root of it into your phone and then use the 2 programs to gain root. Dont be afraid to try it a couple of times if it doesn't work the first time, and make sure that you have the correct drivers for your phone installed on your computer. To get into CWM Recovery to be able to flash custom ROMs, boot into bootloade by starting your phone and holding the vol-down button, and you will get a black screen with a red triangle. Then press power and vol-down and choose "Apply Update.zip" and in a moment you will be in CWM Recovery,as long as you have the file on the root of your sd card.
Just thought I'd spell it all out very detailed and simple for anybody less familiar with all this kind of stuff, makes for less "please explain step #...." posts.
ugh

Hi guys,
I need your help because I'm a complete newbie in this field. 2 yrs ago I rooted my HTC 816 with CWM and unlocked the bootloader (my current system is 4.4.2, htc sense 6.0, ver. 1.60.401.1, htc sdk api 6.21, cwm-based recovery v6.0.4.7) ). I would like to upgrade my system but cant do it without unrooting the device. Unfortunately I dont know how to, coz the option with fastboot doesnt work. I can only manually get to hboot option. Can you guys plz tell me what to do to get to factory settings and be able to upgrade my software the official way? Thanks in advance for a "for dummies" explanation. Best regards!

If your version is the single sim a5_ul version( verify in your bootloader or in about phone in your settings first) here's a tutorial with links for restoring stock recovery and rom. Obviously your still on your stock rom so just unroot through your SuperSU or Superuser apps settings then flash back your stock recovery over your custom recovery. Relock your bootloader then upgrade your stock rom through OTA . You can't flash a higher rom from this tutorial without your phone having S off. Just unroot then flash back your stock recovery , lock bootloader then do OTA update. Good luck.

thanks a lot for a quick response, my version is a5_ul with S-ON so i will try the procedure You gave me and inform soon
ADB doesnt see my device <i downloaded sdk manager, updated, also htc sync manager>; i also tried to do it directly from FASTBOOT USB option in my bootloader but also no effect <neither can see it>; should I try the step 3.b then? I'm not sure coz I never had lollipop on my htc

Do you have USB debugging ticked on in your phone's developers settings?
Do you have Java on your computer?
Either of these 2 things could be the reason it's not recognizing your phone because it should be able to.

No don't try step 3b. You'll need to get your device recognized through ADB first but really you should unroot the phone first then get it recognized 2nd then flash back the stock recovery file from that tutorial then relock your bootloader and then you should be able to just update through your stock system or HTC sync manager. If that fails for whatever reason then and only then should you try to flash the stock image from this tutorial. First though you've got to get your device recognized or nothing is going to work so just keep trying on that front.
uffff, I finally managed to do this but it took me many hours Thanks a lot for your help!! It seems <although I aint sure> that the problem was with the java version installed on my notebook. I installed 64-bit and after removing it I installed 32 bit, reinstalled apk and htc drivers, and adb saw my device! I then used supersu to unroot, locked the bootloader and got stuck. But then I copied the zip file into my sd card <another problem was that - I dont know why - but I couldnt copy the 1.2 gb zip file into my sd card so I changed the extension to .txt, copied and changed back to .zip; another another problem was that the file downloaded from the above mentioned tutorial was corrupted. I tried 2 times but it didn't work so I googled another file with the same name and it worked>. All in all, now I have a stock android 6.0 and Im very glad. Thank you very much for your help once again, best regards!
