Hi, I want to root my HTC Hero 2.1, ive found lots of tutorials on the net, but all are marked with (Sprint). Is it any difference between HTC Hero (Normal/Original) and the sprint version?
Thanks

Yes, big difference. If your hero had a chin, use the guide at www.villainrom.co.uk under gsm htc hero, and then under rooting 2.1

32A/B are versions of the g1 aka dream, not the hero, AFAIK...
Ok because I was looking on Alldroid.org and looking at the roms and was just trying to figure out about that, thanks though

be careful, many roms for the dream have "hero" in their names, as their are based on a hero rom. these won't work on the hero for sure. you can find all roms for the hero here and at modaco's, afaik (pretty sure though).
Any way we can get a detailed rooting procedure. We have a 1.5 version but I am tired of running out of room for apps. Ou4 phone is like the Sprint hero same thing.

Rooted Hero's already have froyo, who cares about what htc wanna do or not.
They dont care about you.
HTC have confirmed their list of already released phones that will run on froyo, and the hero was not on it.
Simply because froyo requires better hardware than the hero has (although further to the above post we have custom 2.2 roms already for hero and they work almost perfect (few little issues that will be fixed soon).
When looking at the specifications of the HTC Hero and the HTC Magic (32A), they seem virtually identical? The only difference is the jack and camera?
So, I was wondering, does a HTC Hero update work on a HTC Magic (32A)? Or will it brick the phone or something?
To me it seems likely it should work fine, except the camera, but just wondering if anyone has tried this or know what the result would be.
It won't work. Just wait a few more days, the official 2.1 update for the Magic should be just around the corner.

It will not work.
I recently saw this.
Don't the Legend and Aria share some of the same hardware/kernels?
Could this mean something? Or does it matter at all?

I don't think it matters at this point. The Gratia is identical to the Aria (more so than the Legend) and the Froyo 2.2 ROM for it has already been leaked and is what FRXX Liberated ROM is based on.
