Ok THIS is cool (if it works)
http://www.unrevoked.com/
The code from it is what Regaw used in his thread on how to root 2.1. I just downloaded and it is an apk. I'm still rooted from 1.5 but it appears you can download from your phone and run the app and then you have root.

i dont know if it works for hero users, but ive read quite a few success stories over at the evo forums.
I had a sneaking suspicion that the key to rooting the Hero was going to be tied to the Evo. The Evo gets rooted soon after Google I/O and they held the code back to get it done until evo release day, which makes sense. I'm quite happy with how things are looking. When I eventually scrape the pennies together to get the Evo I'll be able to root it easily.
That's going to be a lot of pennies. I told one of the guys from work I was getting the Evo and he was like "son of a b!tch" I can't afford one right now, but the look on his face was funny.

I can get one at new subscriber rates in 11 months. I'm hoping that in 6 months the Evo is old and busted and there will people dumping it for brand new hotness. What I'd really like is an Evo specced phone without 4G or it's upcharge.

Plus 1 on that! I'm not unhappy with my Hero though. I AM sort of regretting getting the Hero, because now I want the cool new phones! Actually, I'll blame it on the Instinct and being on the everything family plan, which give me premier account status, where I get the full upgrade every year...

Maybe Regaw will chime in on this and tell us what's going on with it, and if someone just took his work and turned it into an app.
Confirmed
I confirm this 1 click root does work on the Hero. Love this method. Great work from the developers.

if you read his rooting guide, you will see that they collaborated.
did it root with 2.1, or with 2.1+the ota update that was recently released?
instructions
I went to the web address....there are no instructions on how to use it. Do you download to your phone or to your computer?
On your phone.

I too did this, but now my Hero won't update the weather and I can't access the market...something about a data connection error.
Anyone else experiencing this?
oops, make that "a network error has occurred"
unrEVOked is a one-click-root tool by mmastrac who also got a lot of help from the likes of toastcfh, maejrep, and some other guys.
The exploit behind the tool is the exact same one used in Regawmod's root for 2.1, just the boot.img was patched to play nicely with our phones.
Then again, I don't see why this is in the development section.
so.. lol im not to new to this but is this flashing a recovery? or just gaining root and adding su ect ect.
well i will find out in a min either way lol
edit:
worked perfectly, no problems here.
Is there any chance this has messed with my Hero? I can't get online and weather won't display or connect. I have done multiple soft resets. Is there something I am forgetting to do? I downloaded and ran the unrevoked apk.
try loading a custom rom.
or call customer service, Sprint shut off my data for now reason last week and couldnt tell me how it happend.
does the phone make calls? sms? mms?
Well, I did another soft reset, but this time pulled the battery and waited several minutes. The network access came back, weather started working again, etc. So then I downloaded/installed wireless tether and started to play with that but then the network access went down again. I can't figure out if its Sprint getting screwy or this phone
I have came to a conclusion that my phone is defective with heating issues and the battery going extremly fast. I already rooted and did recovery. Will they refuse to take the phone back even though its rooted??? I'm running the stock rom...
Also is there a way to reverse the root and recovery???
BTW I'm exchanging it for another shift. I love this phone to much to get a diffrent one

Just exchange it, I doubt they are going to check for root unless you give them a reason to example. Custom boot animation, outrageous theme ect. As long as it looks like sense most reps aren't the wiser. I know because I work at a Sprint Corporate store.

Uhmm, you're gonna build an auto-root for the Xoom?!
I'm the proud owner of a rooted Droid running UD7, and have rooted friends' Droids, too. But STILL, I read the instruction in the root Xoom "how-to" in the dev forum, and I can't for the life of me figure it out enough to have any confidence what so ever while trying it!
-It's the same thing as when root came out for the Droid; there's the "know wtf it all means" crowd getting pelted with redundant Qs from us "can't figure it out" guys!
-So what's the usual donation for this?
I'd probably use one instead of ADB.
alright, so who wants to test it out?
I'd love it. Then I wouldn't my settings and apps.
Mike
I'd love to try it as well

Just got my wifi Xoom today, so yeah, definitely interested!
im just used to saying "Phone" from modding so many phones.. -__-
lol bare with me..
Does it wipe data and unlock the radio? I'd like to try it but wondering what unlocking would do to my Verizon account and I've installed and setup a lot on this thing and I'm having trouble locating a good pre-root backup app.

Just curious, do you have a xoom to test it on ??
Honestly, I'm afraid to go first.
I would assume this is for Xoom 3G and not Wifi only?
Someone point me towards a good backup program for unrooted Xooms so I can backup all my apps and configs and I'll go first
keep in mind that the wifi and 3g xooms appear to be different when it comes to rooting...
I hope you can get this to work for the Wifi version. I never learned to use SDK and adb commands. Used Unrevoked for my Dinc.

Its not a bad thing to learn ;-) and its really not that difficult to use adb.. people are just so damn lazy in this day and age.. its like "what I have to type something?!?! I can't just click something?" Lol god you younger people would have flipped if all you had was dos when you were a kid like me. Hell back then everything was on 5 1/4 floppy disks Lol
I'm taking classes (I'm 35) and the professor asked the class if anyone remembered before there was an internet.. 3 people raised their hands.. lol so if people now a days can't remember when there was no internet its almost impossible to think people know what it was like before windows, when everything was command based.. me I'd much rather type I to a prompt then click a button

Gosh, thanks for that.
I do remember DOS. I also remember when my school got the new TRS80s during my sophomore year. I remember learning BASIC.
I also remember having to sell my prized posession, a beautiful Fender bass, to pay my rent because my landscaping job wasn't paying me well enough. Thank God I found the part time job shoveling **** at that horse farm. It wasn't so bad because it's cool at night.
Nuttin' like shovelin' **** for five hours after a 10 hour day baking in the sunshine smashing your finger all to hell building rock walls.
What I DON'T seem to remember are any times when I had a spare thousand bucks to set fire to.
Now from all that you might gather that I'm just some dumb ass laborer with no need to even HAVE a Xoom, let alone root the thing, but I'm not. I've hacked my Canon cameras, my K1m, my Droid, and now I want to take my Xoom to its limits.
What I DON'T wanna do is turn it into a friggin paperwieght for my desk (...yes, years later I now work at a desk).
I agree with you that there are a lot of lazy folks these days, and being 8 years your senior, I've witnessed this regression more so than yourself. However, I don't think "lazy" is nearly as accurate as "fearful" is for the true description of folks here looking for a sure-fire way to root with the least amount of possibility of catastophic failure.
Sorry for the rant, but this has always been an issue for me from guys that share your perspective on this.
Hi, All. I have a MyTouch 4G with TMobile, but I just moved to AIT(army) and TMO get no service, so goodbye MT4G and I am going to get an EVO this weekend. I was just checking out the threads here in the EVO forums. WOW! They are very thorough and complete. I can't wait to get my EVO, and start playing around using the guides you all have posted. Any recomendations on places to start?
Welcome, hope you enjoy your evo! This link should include everything you need to know as far as rooting, fixes, backing up, and the basics. Once you get started you'll find more advanced guides on creating roms, custom themes, and other helpful threads that will make your experience awesome. Thank you for your service!

I do agree unless he's getting a crazy deal on the regular evo. Evo 3D but no nexus s.

I would suggest getting the Evo now, and snagging the Evo 3D when it comes this month. Sprint fortunately has the 30–day trade in deal, so I would definitely go to to 3D if I were you as soon as possible.
I would suggest using unrEVOked to root your phone, simple and flawless for the two Evos I had rooted 10 times each. After all that, I would use Amon RA for recovery. No issues, and doesn't have the scripting issues that Clockwork has. ROMs... Go on and enjoy

Just a heads up you pay $30 to swap out your phone.
If that's not too expensive, then go for it!

Thing is guys, I am the middle of no where Alabama...There is no WiFi etc to link up with, usually I just use my phone as a hotspot, but since its TMO, and TMO gets ONLY edge...I can't. This is actually why I am switching to Sprint, because as of right now I am paying 80$ for TMO and 80$ for a Verizon Hotspot(that is only 10GB's of data..not enough!) which is 160.... I figure if I just change to sprint, I will be able to get unlimited everything plus add tethering and will be paying only 100 a month....plus military discount. As far as waiting for the EVO 3D...I don't have time, there is NOTHING to do here...all I have is my internet hahah...so what I will probably do is take advantage of that 30 day return policy to purchase the 3d...or not purchase it at all, because it doesn't seem THAT practical(in my opinion anyways)..and it seems like it could bog the phone down and likely drain the battery very quickly...But then again...since I am paying 200 for the EVO...if the 3D isn't too much more, I might just get it to have the "new new" haha. Thanks a lot guys for the links, etc... Happy Rooting!

I would get the 3D, it is a beautiful piece of hardware. SLCD screen, more RAM, 1.2 ghz dual-core processor, I'm guessing improved camera, Sense 3.0... It really is a nice step for the Evo. I would just shut off the 3D effect though, save some battery. The 3D is supposed to have a bigger battery, and there are claims of better power usage with dual-core processors. So spring for the Evo I say, and snag the 3D when it lands in that 30-day trade-in period!
Welcome to the Evo fam!
I leave in 7 weeks for BCT in OK. I wanted the EVO3D so bad but it would just sit in a locker during the entire training .. Then AIT in GA till Jan2012. So I'll just be keeping my EVO till then. Nexus3 should probably be dropping around that time
The EVO is really awesome and you'll enjoy it 100% Lots of mods, roms, themes, kernels, etcc...and tons of help here on this forum!!
You wont have to 'add tethering' to your acct. After root, most roms have the hotspot unlocked.
I can only imagine you will LOVE your evo. (But the 30day exchange may be good idea, too).

Yea...I know that rooting unlocks it or whatever, but my friend who works for sprint said that if they notice a lot of data usage like that, they will prolly just realize that is what you are doing, and charge you for the tether anyways...I will try to get away with it I suppose.
QUICK question though...
In the MT4G forum there was a Pd115.img (or whatever the name was) that you could just flash, and it was basically the stock...and it rerooted and factory reset basically everything...it was really helpful when I was about to send a phone back on warranty. Is there a thread on here? I will search for it, but if someone just happened to know exactly where it was
Why is it I can get an evo for 90 on amazon but its 199 at sprint...? Pros /cons of amazon?

let me start off by saying sorry if i am posting this in the wrong section. I am just calling of for help from my xda friends.
By saying that, i am looking into buying another Evo 4g for my GF witch has a ****ty blackberry for verizon i was wondering if anyone has found out how to flash it over to verizon. now i have done some research and have seemed to get no where. many people said its illegal to copy the esn. that maybe yu can mirror another verizon phones prl. im just stumped on the whole situation. quite frankly idc what kind on htc or android phone it is i would just like to be able to flash to verizon to make her happy. i would really appreciate it if someone would help me out with this.
Why use a evo on verizon? ThunderBolt would be much better and should be able to get for the same price.
Yeah, my boyfriend wanted a phone "like mine" but refused to switch to Sprint. He travels a lot and needs decent speeds. He got the Thunderbolt & it's similar to the Evo. Comes stock with Sense 2.1, but it's still on FroYo. There are Gingerbread roms for it if that's what you're looking for.
It's a newer phone than the Evo but has about the same specs as the Evo. His phone stock matches mine rooted performance-wise, but his battery life is worse than mine.
I think getting a Thunderbolt would be a lot easier than trying to use an Evo on Verizon.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Verizon will NOT activate a non-Verizon device on their network. Period. If you choose to clone esn and such illegal measures, you do it at your own risk. Why go through all this trouble and risk being prosecuted for breaking the law when you can just buy a Verizon phone instead? Doesn't make much sense.
Honestly don't like the thunderbolt and the illegal stuff there are ways around our ii kno it. Was just looking to see if anyone knew them.
