Root HTC Hero

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.

How to root AT&T nexus one

Can I use the normal root procedure/how-to for the Tmobile Nexus one for my new AT&T nexus one? What is the best how-to?

bump, can the original T-mobile procedure be done on the NEW ATT nexus? or does a new method have to come out?

Have you tried the link in this post? Duh. Best thing I've ever read
That being said is this, try unlocking the bootloader first and go from there. There is no way that could brick you're device.

...

Seems to work the same
Yes - I just bought an AT&T Nexus One and was able to unlock the bootloader, install Amon_RA's recovery image, and then flash Cyanogen's 5.0.5 ROM the same way in which I did with my T-Mobile Nexus One.

some of you people are serious assholes...sometimes a yes or no question is best answered with a yes or a no.

Sometimes a little common sense goes a long way.

The ATT version Google Nexus One uses the same OS, so no there is no difference in rooting the phone with the existing guides. The difference is the hardware that allows to operate on the ATT UMTS frequencies.
I used the same instructions as are posted here at XDA and MoDaCo with my new ATT 3G Nexus One and had no problems.
Rooting and changing the rom had no impact on the 3G reception which is on par with my current Tilt 2.
BTW, I did read a lot and it took me a while to get everything straigh since the rooting procedure is quiet different than what you would expect from HARDSPL'ing your WinMo device.

awesome!! i may try it out this week

Simple questions require simple answers
Thanks. I agree with couple of the previous posts. This is an almost $600 piece of hardware and the unlocking procedures were described for the Tmobile version. Since the hardware is different (the radio rom might be different as well), we just wanted to know whether we could use the guide for the tmobile version for the at&t version without bricking the phone. That was it. And, again a "yes" or "no" would've been a lot easier than posting a google search link. Anyhow, thanks to others who actually answered the question.

Rooting doesn't TOUCH the "Radio ROM", as you call it. More importantly, if all you wanted was a yes or no, YOU COULD HAVE POSTED IN AN EXISTING ROOTING THREAD!
Stop cluttering up the forum and ask a Mod to lock this thread already.
Just for reference, the upcoming Sprint/Verizon versions will be rooted the exact same way.

ITT: People who have NO business rooting a phone, are.

See the problem is the question was answered. You can't say you "Read around alot...." and not accept that a simple google search would have found the answer without the need to start a new forum. Another problem is, you prob actually clicked the link before realizing what it was. If you did, you really should NOT have a rooted phone anyways. Just my two sense, sorry for being an "asshole" I suppose....

The real problem is that there are too many mod wanabees in this forum.

[Q] Some rooting questions

Hey all!
I was thinking of rooting my eris, but after reading the forum some, I still have a couple questions about Eris rooting and rooting in general.
First off, if I use the one click root app, I will not have to install a new rom, correct? Also, how likely is it to brick my phone? If bricked, is there a method of restoring it?
Secondly, if I install the FroYo rom, would I be able to go back to the factory build of OTA 2.1? Or would I be stuck with custom roms then?
The only reason I am concerned with restoring the factory rom is that if something happens to the phone, I'd like my warranty to still be able to cover it (I'm 99% sure that they won't cover a rooted froyo thats overclocked).
Also, sorry if these have been asked before, I just wasn't able to find them on my own.

You need to ask these questions n the Q&A forum. This is a Dev forum and should only have questions relating to Roms and issues with custom roms.
Get ready for the dog pile.

Uh oh, my bad. I thought it was in the q&a...
Sorry guys, I'll see if I can delete it from the app and repost

there are answers to ur questions all over these forums , ushouldnt have any troubles finding them

Sorry, Have A few questions

Well quick background information. I acquired my first samsung continuum 3 weeks ago, bricked it, and had to return it and get another one.
So while i waited for my new phone to arrive in the mail i was reading thread after thread and tutorials and guides to the Android OS, Samsung Continumm, Kernels, ROMS, etc.
Once my phone arrived i had a whole bunch of knowledge about it and successfully Rooted it using SuperOneClick, Flashed CWM into it, and flashed the PeanutButterJelly kernel. Yes Without messing it up again.
Well here are my questions:
1) Where can i find the official adrynalyne's rom for the continuum(yes i used the search button but didnt have much luck.
2) Is there a continuum radio file posted somewhere in the forum? people were talking about it in the forum but nobody can tell me where it is.
3) Could I constantly keep flashing kernels and roms or is there a limit to how many times i can do that?
4) If there happens to be an update from verizon, will rooting,replacing kernels and roms, take away the ability to download it.
Sorry again for the random questions, and if you tell me to use the "Search" option can you at least let me know exactly what to type in so i can find the right answer. Thanks You.
And one more thing, What is your phone set up, as in:Kernel,Rom,any mods, battery saving apps, root-only apps.

*sigh*
more questions...
1. The ROM is located under the android development section of our forum.
Here's a link to the ROM though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943402
2. There is no radio file. There has been talk of it because we found out that the Fascinate radio files work with the continuum. We don't have our own though :'(
3. There is no limit besides the amount of ROMs and kernels you want to try.
4. Custom ROMs always in my experience disable the OTA updates that Verizon puts out. All you have to do though is revert back to stock and download the update if you truly want it.

Flashing ROMs and kernals will prevent you from being able to download any Verizon updates.

Well a simple search would give you the answers you seek..... but since it's just easier for people to post questions.... i'll play along.
2.3.4
-you must revert back to 2.2.1 and root then flashes a kitchen rooted variant of 2.3.4
2.2.x
-There are two methods to your phone phone. a root.sh method and a ./gfree method. I have links to both of those in my signature.
before you do either check out the "post your eMMC serial number" in the general section.

Im starting to understand why people get so upset when newbies come to the site and ask questions that have easily findable answers that have been asked several times a week. Use your search, it gets you answers faster than asking questions anyways...
