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

Dear Friends,
I know that similar kind of questions has been already raised by many.But I am not clear about the anser.At present is it possible to root htc wildfire running 2.2 froyo?.With froyo, my phone is running too slow and battery is draining much faster than before.I really got fed up with this.I read in some forums that downgrading to 2.1 is also difficult.Is it so?
Hope some of our friends are working on these.
Please help me in these matters

At the moment you can't get permanant root on 2.2. You can get a temporary root, but that wont let you edit anything on /system. If you can find someone with an xtc clip you can get your phone S-OFF which makes /system writeable.
Downgrading seems to be easy based off the 2 or 3 step by step guides I've seen on this forum so far.
Your questions are no different to any of the ones asked before by others, please use the search next time.
Downgrading will work, but, it will still be unrootable. As said above, the only way as of now to root 2.2 is by using an XTC Clip hardware box to get S-OFF, then, downgrade (this is a 'proper' downgrade) and root.
You can root your phone...
i have posted step by step instructions on my website on how to root any android phone running firmware 1.5 and above

Enough of this already, people. You need a XTC Clip for that, which costs about $220. This is the only way, for now.

I don't believe this. Because that process was not a newer one and was there long ago. If it worked, it must have became a lot popular by now. And "Universal Androot" is not a root application recommended for NAND locked devices like wildfire. If one has bypassed the nand security with xtc clip and made s-off, then this process might work. And once if u make s-off, there are many other rooting options available. But the point here is to root the wildfire with hboot 1.01 and S-ON dude.... Do not just stick with the thread title. Read the thread, he mentioned wildfire 2.2 clearly.
I doubt whether ur device is wildfire or not (if wildfire rooted or not). Check the below attached "Root and Me" application. In that, go to the root guides and check the compatible devices for "Universal Androot" process. There is no wildfire in that.
Just confirm any process after it worked with u guys.

U might not have asked this question if u know that his process is nothing but "Universal Androot".
Inspite of being aware, i just tried it for u. It won't work and says failed.
If anyone wants to recheck they might. Actually that process is little bit confusing. And im attaching a screen shot of that website below.
The process says to install "App installer" just to install an apk file. Cant we install an apk file from a file manager ? This is ok.
Then the process says just to enable usb debugging alone to transfer the apk file frm PC to wildfire. It not even says from ADB, so i expect it means to transfer through disk drive. Come on stop joking.
I found that this forum

was very helpful I am running droid 2.2 Froyo on a Cherry Mobile Candy
I was able to root my phone semi permanently. So long as I don't clear the data for the Z4root program I maintain superuser status. So far I have had no problems and have been able to remove bloatware using AntTek App manager with ease.

I dont know if I am allowed to post links to other websites but google CyanogenMod wiki for mytouch 4g and click on the full update guide and it will show you step by step how to downgrade and root the mytouch. Then you can flash any of the gingerbread roms you like. Make sure you follow the directions exactly or else you will brick your device. Also make sure the md5 sums match up for each file before you start the process.

lol i was just looking at CyanogenM im really liking the android 4 OS, id like to put that on my phone. i think what i want to do is get the 2.3.4 back(if i cant get Android 4) and have it rooted
You downgrade to 2.2.1 use gfree to obtain s-off then flash clockworkmod recovery and then flash any rom you want. the software number (2.2.1 2.3.4 2.3.5 etc.) Changes with each rom. Now if you look closely 2 posts up you will see the beta 4.0.1 thread we have and above that the sticky where it shows how to downgrade and how to root after that, PLEASE read before searching and search before posting

Hello,
I'm used to debrand and flash Sony Ericsson devices, but my girlfriend has a HTC wildfire and I'm kind of confused with the debranding...
I found unrevoked3 and wanted to use it, but I don't even get to the part were I should install the android 1.0 drivers, since the pc ıs only asking my for adb-drivers. Does HTC have different then Sony Ericsson? Which one shall I take?
Also I always found manuals about using a goldcard, but these are supposed to be outdated?
Also I'm not able to find an original firmware... I only find RUN exe files. Can someone tell me if it ıs possible to flash original firmware through clockwork mod and maybe give me a link?
I would really appreciate if you guys could help me!
THANK YOU!

There is a guide on downgrading the phone to an Unbranded WWE ROM here. This will erase all data(including Recovery, everything), but will downgrade you to a Universal ROM with no network branding, as well as HBOOT 1.00.001.
Goldcard? YES. A guide for the same is in the link, follow it to the letter and there will be no problems.

thank you, I found that way but since it is not my phone, i dont want to s-off it
Anyway, my girlfriend don't need root that much, so I guess I will just leave it here and reinstall here software manually!
Thank you everyone for your help and support!
*edit:
if someone finds a way to root phone without S-OFF: your idea is welcome
In that case, you will have to go through HTC DEV to unlock the bootloader, which is a FAR more cumbersome process IMO. Anyway, upto you really. Otherwise, rooting without S-OFF is not possible on Froyo.
Thank you for that answer. I will look into it... At the moment my girlfriend is happy with the Rom I gave her... But I think about cyanogenmod might be faster (phonepad input on Frodo is really slow...)? We will see :-/
