You were not looking in the right spot if you have been looking for 6 months...root for the Hero has been around for quite awhile.
I always pay more attention to a post when every word begins with a capital letter...
For the 3 previous post responses
Whats it like to know it ALL, the posts are here to help anyone having trouble with their mobile device. I have encounterd 100s of hero users who have not been able to root since the firmware .7 update, sorry if you three are above reading comments meant to help those of us who are having problems with Rooting.
P.S. you might want to check out app brain and see how many users have downloaded this app today alone, before you pass judgement on any one. AND READ ALL THE COMMENTS.
Ignorance is bliss !!!

Its the fact that the OP said "HTC root is finally here." Its not finally here, its been here for a long time.
No one is passing judgement, we are just saying root is not new...even for .7. That app might be new, but root is not.
P.S. if those 100's of Hero users running .7 had read XDA, or done a simple Google search, they would have known you can root. .7 hasn't been out for 6 months, so you could have used Androot.
At any rate, enjoy your rooted phone.

//this is iphone?/
Nice try, dosent work never did
Androot doesnt work for sprint htc hero with .7 firmware update, nor does SuperOneClick.
Thats why we dont use one click methods
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Exactly. I've been playing with rooting devices since I had a HTC Mogul running WinMob.
These one-click solutions are nice and all but are usually the polish to an otherwise multi-step solution that has been around for quite a while.
But it worked with the ROM you would have had 6 months ago when you said you started searching.

are you using regaw's root for .7 method???
if so i would say go to theimpaler747 thread for cyanogenmod Q&A, the OP is VERY helpful. I used regaw's root and my freind as well, worked fine for our heros, reread the steps just to make sure you didn't miss anything.
I tried all these one click solutions on mine with the .7 upadate and they didn't work. I looked around for hours like most noobs do before they post... and the only thing that worked for me was to run the RUU to get it back to basics.
So my little first contribution/suggestion, if it's worthy, would be to note in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572) where it says .6 underlined, to read .6 and above .7.8.9..ect.
Good luck to the OP.

There is the Easy Root thread, works with .7 and takes 5 minutes.
I ruu'ed back to 2.1 and then accepted all the updates and used superoneclick it worked.
None of the one click stuff worked for me. Trying to get http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572 to take and everything worked accept the "Superuser Permission". I'll try from scratch in the morning. Point is, for me, the one click stuff didn't seem to work. At least the manual way is a step in the right direction. Remember to load the older 2.1 in the second thread.
Good option though FISHVENOM

No need to downgrade if you read my post.
I had a stock 2.1 Epic rooted with Z4. Manually upgraded to 2.21 effortlessly, all works well.
Tried rerooting with Z4 multiple times and it would not work. I removed Z4 from my Epic.
How can I reroot? The good news it Titanium is still freezing the apps I previously had frozen. However, I have no way to add freeze or unfreeze.
Thanks,
Todd
If z4root don't work just use the one click root with clock work. Its easy and straight forward

Try a different version. Or redownload it and try again.

Thanks I found the problem I had the old Odin version and then I used the update that had root and recovery built it worked fine after that. I was wondering if you knew of anywhere I could find a kernal that allows overclocking and or has a 600 mhz step in it?
If your going to flash a froyo rom, there are no kernels yet. If your going to start on a 2.1 rom then thee are a few god ones around like the phoenix kernel, the extreme kernel and numerous others that allow over clocking and under clocking. Check the epic development threads for the 2.1 roms and they have the links to kernels there.

Same here, Id rather have an instructional video instead. Because this one click root is not working. I'm wasting too much time already trying to root.
OneClickRoot with Superuser for EPIC w/Froyo
I have a link for a oneclickroot for the epic running froyo without getting a cannot or willnot or failed because of Read Only. Unfortunately because I am a newbie it says I have to post 8 posts before posting an outside link. I uploaded it to my personal website which I use to advertise dogs that I sell. If you want PM me and I will give you the link to grab it off of my site.

I keep looking and browsing the web for information about rooting the streak but so far i've only manage to find one for 1.6 or 2.1. Does anybody know if the superboot works on froyo and if theres a recovery image yet just in case? My phone came unlocked with froyo pre-installed and has a 12*** something version. I apologize if this has been ask before or if im in the wrong sub-forum. Thank you

Z4Root for 2.2
Searched for Z4Root numerous times on the market but to no luck. I keep getting a doodle app. Do you know if the superboot would work? Thanks for the reply

heh, it was taken off the market. oh well, find the apk.
Search google for universal androot 1.6.2 beta. Worked for me. You may have to press root my phone more than once because it doesnt always do iton first try. If you cant find it then pm me and ill email it to u
Found z4root apk and works perfectly. Rooted froyo and now looking for some decent rom. thanks for the tips y'all
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
i think z4root is better than universal androot since it installs busybox and does it quite well, it also works on alot more devices. besides that, they are pretty much the same, rooting tools. use what you like that works. seems like things like z4root, androot, busybox, and superuser where all taken off the market just before gingerbread came out.
One thing that keeps bothering me when people work out / find a solution . . . they don't post what they did, where they found the program / software / driver !! or what they did to fix the issue.
SHARE, z4root is off the market, so where did you locate the download ?
z4root isn't working with the latest OTA update build 318. Niether does universal androot.
Superoneclick will root 318 search xda for the link

I used SuperOneClick. However, I'm still on the "stock" 305 version. I never upgraded. SuperOneClick worked just fine to root.
Hey guys.
I just unlocked my phone and am now looking to root it. My problem is that I have read so many different methods and none of the downloads are for my particular build. So I was wondering if any of you could point me in the right direction.
Build number is 7921
Running stock 1.6
Thanks guys.

When I had 1.6 installed, I used universal androot from the market. You may have to do it a couple times... With 2.2, use SuperOneClick. It runs on your computer while connected via USB.

I can't find the app in the Market. Do I have to side load it?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
SuperOneClick you get from XDA, just search. Its not in the market because it runs on your computer, not on the phone. Universal Androot is in the market, but I think if you have a stock ATT ROM many apps are blocked so you wont even find them. That is a whole different problem...

Yeah that must be the case. I have searched the Market for Universal Androot and I can't find it. So as you said, it's probably blocked by Rogers Stock Rom.
One thing I know for sure is I want to root my phone. So if I can't do it through Universal Androot I guess I have to go with SuperOneClick.
I'll keep searching for a solution. There's gotta be a way I can get Universal Androot on my phone.

You're welcome. Here's the link that will get it done. One thing though, there is no back-up rom for our build. So if you do it you won't be able to go back to the Rogers 1.6 build. So no warranty if something happens.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905791&highlight=rogers
That's what's stopping me from doing it.
If I want to do what patsjourney did, but i have rogers 2.2.2, can i go back if I dont like it? I want to customize my phone but want to go back to stock if i have to. ive been told to use streakmod but is there an easier way?
Just ordered my first streak, will be here tomorrow, its an unlocked version, i use at&t. Im assuming since its new its going to be a newer version? maybe 351 but i will have to check when its here. A few things i want to root but whats the highest version oneclick is know to work on? Also i read this thread about a 2.2 performance tweak and wish there was something for the newer versions...

There is only one person cooking ROMs. That is Steve. Or DJ Steve, he is going a great job too.
Have a look at this thread for the latest ROM. It is already tweeked and rooted.
Have a look around you will find what you need.

Read the last sentence in the first paragraph:
This specific exploit may work on various Froyo and Honeycomb versions as well.
Ah gotcha my bad didnt really look into that second link much...
I have a stock 347 on my unlocked streak ($200 recent deal), and I really didn't like 351. I went back to 347 now since I don't use dell stage anyways. So if I were you, unless you want to use dell stage home screen, I wouldn't try to upgrade to 351. I use Launcher Pro homescreen by the way.
Rooting is good because there are some apps that needs root permission. If you want to go with Superclick, v1.6 worked for me on 347. First, run superclick select rollthecageexploit, and click root. Next, have debug mode enabled on streak. Then power off streak, and connect USB. Then power on, and superclick will detect the device and start rooting.
Obviously, GingerBreak 1.10 is the easiest way to root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049627
looks like i have 347, 00
ok well i tried gingerbreak 1.2 and it rebooted so i figured it worked and tried a few things and it said i didnt have root permissions, when i tried to remove some of the dell apps i couldnt?
I tried oneclick 1.7 on my vista laptop and get hung up at waiting for device everytime even when i run as admin?
So what now

so it looked like maybe gingerbreak worked i have super user and have tried a few apps that require permissions, setcpu, auto killer, titanium and they all have root permissions but i cant seem to delete to apps that came loaded from dell? any thoughts
Just a few things to know make sure you have a backup. Get a app called root uninstaller from the market its free it will list all your apps and then you can delete the ones you dont want BUT make a backup in case you delete something important.
