hi,
i want to used custom firmware 2.2 but no use but its rooted somehow thou i am a nOOb at android i have been using 11 nokia mobiles in a row and dont know how android systems works so please is there any easy way i want to use 2.2
The first thing to do is install a custom recovery image. I suggest you use Ammon Ra.
Search google on how to install Ammon Ra on Hero. theunlockr.com is a good place to start.
Good luck and have fun!
.....or use BTDAGs guide linked in my signature.

thanks alot .........i was unsure of what to search for
Good Noob site.
I've done most all the tutorials on that site and been pretty successful in rooting and unrooting. Use his One Click Root Procedure and use the recovery he has there it's a lot better than the old ones. He has a really good download section on there for any ROM's you might want and themes. I use Cyanogen's ROM it's really fast and doesn't make your screen all blurry or anything. I was pretty nervous about rooting my phone at first, but if you can install an operating system on a computer you definitely won't have any problems rooting your phone and installing a new ROM. I've flashed and flashed and unrooted and installed themes and haven't bricked my phone yet. I'm not a programmer or a genius by any means and I didn't break my phone yet.
Hello all, I read all the posts about how to root HTC Hero (Poland Era G2) but I still do not know which method is the simplest. I depend mostly to BT to work normally. Could someone give me links to the topics. Because I have already lost in this. Thanks
the simplest way is pick one of them and try it, instead of looking through all of them

The fact you say you need bluetooth to work normally, in relation to rooting your device, suggests maybe a misconception on your part, so I'm writing this just in case that is true.
The method you use to root your phone won't determine what features it supports or how reliable it is. Once you root your phone, using any method you can find which works for you, you can install a custom recovery image (current AmonRa recommended).
When that's done you're then free to choose any custom gsm Hero ROM you like & that is what will determine the features & reliability of the device. It's also fairly easy to swap between ROMs so you can try several & very easy to revert to one you've already tried (& backed up via nandroid backup, a feature of the recovery image).
So it's okay to plunge in & try the various rooting methods, though obviously do follow the instructions carefully. I think theunlockr.com has some good video guides if you prefer video to the written word. Just google 'unlockr htc hero rooting'.
Argh, just realised the original post is two months old. Oh well. If you're reading do post back to say if you managed.
I`ve been searching all day for the steps I need to perform in order to update my Andoid version on my HTC G1.
I`s appreciate all the help in finding the topic if it does exist or to tell me all the steps and software I need to perform in order to get this done.
Thank`s

So in other word you want to root your phone and install a custom rom, did I get that right?
First find a thread in g1 that explains rooting process, Then go to 'G1's android development' and pick a custom rom that you would like to try, and follow the instructions give in the first post of the custom rom, good luck and happy flashing!

I would like to add, do research on the ROM before you decide which one you will flash. See which one you like the best before you install the ROM. It will be a lot easier in the long run. But of course, you can try each one to see what you like best about them. And then go with the best one (That's a long way and a lot of flashing to do).
This is from my experience (even with the research I did), I currently have a ROM that I might not keep. But it suit me for now until I do more research on what will be the best one for my use.

The only way is to rooted. Especially if you want to get the latest Android 2.x.
Hello everybody,
I was wondering if it was possible to root a Motorola Atrix 4G on a Mac? Also, do you need an SD card or can you use the internal storage built into the device? I have no access whatsoever to a windows computer.
First of all, I would like to mention that I am pretty new to this whole rooting thing. I have rooted a HTC Inspire solely for the purpose of putting a newer version of sense on it. That was a very simple, 1-Click root in Terminal.
Also this ICS ROM for Atrix:

Is it a ROM that i can just slap on to my phone or do I need to install a cm7 ROM first?
Thanks in advance.

I have been doing that for hours on end today. I will keep looking though.
its best to have an sdcard even if its just a cheep one from amazon
you may not get the best read and write speeds but it will save you head aches in the future . and yea a mac can be used to root an atrix but windows is best
jk.
As for the ROM question, you can install the ROM without installing CM7 first. But you will need to root and unlock the bootloader of the device along with install CWM. (ClockWork Recovery Mod) Only until you do those things will you be ale to install custom ROMS on your Atrix. You will not be able to do it just by rooting the device.
By the way, that is just a ICS Looking ROM. That is not ICS at all, it is just a theme.
For rooting your phone, my best suggestion is the zergRush method. I can guarantee that it worked on my Atrix using a mac. It seems as though someone has created a script to run on mac based off this exploit, however, I personally used the manual root method.
Here's a link to the thread. Again, I used method #4 on the list. Hope it helps.
I am new to the hd2 because I got it for a cheap price from a friend because I thought it would be interesting to use. Its in great condition. I would like to install cwm and ics on it. Its just a little more confusing since this isn't made for android. Could somebody give me a detailed guide or video guide link to install cwm and use it properly for this phone? I'm sort of lost when it comes to the bootloader and stuff. I'm not dumb with computers and phones so don't be afraid to give me a hard guide. I just want one that will do the job and get this device running cwm so I can flash ics or miui. Thanks!
