I have been searching forums since morning but I haven't been able to figure out how to update to 2.1 and still have root access. There is no OTA available on the phone.
Should I download the RUU exe from sprint's website and update to 2.1? I hear that 2.1 root is not possible after that.
Can anyone guide me in the right direction please?
thanks..
If you want to root now, DON'T update to 2.1. Get the fresh kitchen and root with that.
HeroMeng, thanks for the reply. could you tell me where do I get kitchen from?
and I think I need to mention it is a CDMA HTC Hero on Sprint

You can download the kitchen right here. It only works on Windows, so keep that in mind. Once you download the kitchen, tap the Rooter tab. Check none of the boxes, and press "root" (or something like that).

Yeah, that's fine. So is everyone's in this section
so I cant get 2.1 on this thing yet ? Kitchen will install a custom 1.5 ROM on it. I managed to read through another forum thread and root the phone. So now I have root on 1.5. I understand that the unrevoked.com root for androind 2.1 wont work after the OTA update. I am beginning to get a little confused. Can I update the phone to RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.20.651.1_signed_test Firmware, as it has a built in ROOT ACCESS source link: here though I cant seem to find the download link for 2.20.651.1
sorry if the message is getting convoluted...
Easiest way is to Root with 1.5 using a guide in the Android Dev Section. I did it to 5 CDMA Heros with no prob whatsoever.
And by the way, 2.1 RUU has been rooted.. Search for it in the Dev Section.. (Should be right there on the first page...
Once you are rooted, if you want Something thats the official one, but much better, I recommend DamageControl 2.09 or Fresh 2.1
I have root on 1.5 now, I can install Fresh 2.1 using the instructions here ?

Yes. Yes you can.
done deal, running 2.1-fresh. Also updated the baseband to 2.42.01.04.27... would I have to root again or is it already rooted? Set CPU seems to just give me a black screen and the instructions on the set CPU site is not helping...

To get SetCPU, just flash GoDmOdE kernel, you can find it here.
ah I figured it out, the reason for the black screen. For some reason if USB Debugging is not enabled, su wont work. Once I enabled USB Debugging, su works just fine...

Also you need the kernel I posted above or it won't overclock. Over and underclocking needs a special kernel.
a little confused
Heromeng, I'm a little confused. I run a non Sprint hero and some of the forums say fresh kitchen is for Sprint hero's only and others say all hero's. Please dial me in bud. I really want root but don't want to go the Sprint run way. I live in Alaska and my carrier is ACS. Thanks bud.

You can't root with the fresh kitchen. You need to go through a little more steps then Sprint heroes.
Use this guide to root your hero.

HeroMeng, you rock for gettin right back to me! I've posted questions elsewhereover a month ago and still not heard back. I have read that guide before but didn't want to follow the wrong one and be left with a nice pretty brick. I've read how you help peers and noobs like me and appreciate that. Well I need to fond a Kingston or PNY sd card, I've tried to make a goldcard with 3 different sandisks and they would not take. I know I'm asking big here bit of you could point me in the direction of a good solid reliable ROM that doesn't need to be tweaked to fit my phone and any other advice/guides that would seriously help a brotha out I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks again bud.

After allot of time i managed to make mtty to work
and i followed the tutorial.
Now what tho.
I need to flash the original telus rom but i cant find it
Thanks

I got through that guide as well, but when it comes time to flash the rom, it hangs at 0% and then gives me error 262. I go through recovery but it still doesn't work. I dont have hardSPL either, is there any way to get HardSPL from bootloader? Also, when i try task 28 in mtty again, i get :
Format start
Fill RSVD information for block 351 to 384
TAG NOT FOUND !!! NOT CLEAR STORAGE !!!
Format end
also, the telus rom you can get from a search.
hm... Thats weird
i cant find the telus rom
I can only find the raw form, and i think you need to cook it or smthn
Anyway, if it doesnt work for you, it wont work for me either, cause we are having exactly the same problem.
It would be awesome if we can Install hard spl from bootloader.
But no1 seems to be able to help us.
We are the only users who are bothering to reply as it seems.
Is it an official signed rom you need or the recooked raws? (Not sure how successful I'll be but if it can help I will see if I can recook them.) As for the official signed rom, I haven't been able to find one myself as of yet.
we need the official telus signed rom
Because we didnt hard spl our phones, we're stack.
So either the official signed rom, or we need to find a way to hard spl our phones through the tricolor bootloader
Any ideas?
I'm stuck at the same with with my Mobilicity Snap. I went through the HardSPL and it said everything was successful but now my phone is bricked because I failed to notice SPL 1.24 still on the tri color screen. I also would like to know if there is a way to use MTTY, some other tool, or get hardspl onto the phone through the bootloader. HardSPL hangs on 0% from the boot loader for me.
Also tried MTTY task 28, task 29, reboot, reflash to no avail.
We all seem to have the same problem, I'm surprised it hasn't been addressed yet.
I guess there's no luck finding a factory rom for the s510 series...?
You guys are braver than me, I won't attempt a flash unless I have an out waiting.
Come one ! Really there is no fix for the file with the bad code ?
Damn, I have read so many guides and ways to root my Android, but sincerely, they are so different I'm not trusting on any of it. Does anyone know how to correctly root the HTC Hero with Linux? Most of the guides are for Windows, and the one for Linux have some parts missing.

Hi, there's several rooting methods available. They depend on your installed ROM, and which version it is. The three main are
- FlashRec (for 1.5 ROMs)
- Goldcard (for 1.5 ROMs and 2.1 OTA'd phones)
- New PossibleGSMRoot.zip method posted for 2.1 ROMs
The first and last should be possible on Linux, although I'm not familiar on Goldcard method in linux
download rom manager from the market, then scroll to the bottom and flash alternate recovery

Ok that sounds great, I have 2.1, but I don't know anything about my rom or if it's an OTA'd phone. Could you explain me, and show me a guide for both goldcard and GSMroot?
Thanks.

how did you get 2.1? did you download it from the web or did you get an over the air upgrade? or did the phone come with 2.1 pre-installed? if you got it through a over the air update your pretty much out of luck as the goldcard method only works on windows and the flashrec method only works on certain 1.5 phones, if you got it from an ruu from the web then you could try the GSMroot method, if your phone came pre-installed with 2.1 then Im not sure if the GSMroot method would work or not but it would probably be worth a shoot, the GSMroot method can be found here:http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=110&t=2096
oh and instructions for the goldcard method and the flashrec method can be found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253&highlight=goldcard but as i said flashrec only works on certain 1.5 roms and goldcard only works on windows
I installed it as an official update from the phone. I know there's a method to downgrade, I can get a computer with Windows so I could try goldcard. Or could I try the GSMroot?

if you updated from the phone itself then your best bet would be the goldcard method, the GSMroot was designed for people who upgraded using an RUU file, It may still work though, but I haven't seen anyone confirm that.

The ruu method works fine as well, even if you used ota.
Tested over at the VillainROM site btw.
Was just about to make a thread just like this. I'm from Finland and updated my Hero using OTA. After updating I've read so many articles about why I should root my Hero. So ever since I've been trying to google a comprehensive guide. But I always ended up in a dead end or a guide intended for CDMA Hero or something else.
Now I finally have rooted my Hero with PossibleGSMRoot.zip method
Thank you so much.
I just exchanged a defective captivate for the ariaand looking at some of the threads confused. Do I root now or wait for froyo??? when I have froyo will rooting give me acces to the portable wifi hot spot feature???
If you're planning on rooting at some point, then you might as well get on with it. You can have Froyo now with either CyanogenMod 6.1 or Liberated FR008. Both have the wireless hotspot feature included.
If you wait for the AT&T Froyo update, you will probably be waiting awhile, and at least for now, you are not able to gain root once you've applied the official update.

If and when HTC/AT&T release Froyo for the Aria, chances are the wifi hot spot will be disabled.
My advice would be to root now and then install either CyanogenMod 6.1 with is AOSP Froyo 2.2 or Libertated FR008 ROM (HTC Sense w/ Froyo 2.2) from the European Gratia. Both of these custom ROM have the Froyo Wifi hot spot enabled and working.
Ihave a few questions...how do i find htc sync and install it?? after getting modified froyo on does that stop att upgrade? and all modified upgrades roms manual intal?

You can download HTC Sync from here:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/aria-att/downloads/
Nobody really knows if the Liberated ROM will get a notification about the AT&T upgrade because it has not happened yet.
Yes all of the custom ROMS are manual install.
keep in mind that when ATT releases the FroYo update it will probably be unable to ROOT at first. they love to add new securities to make life interesting for us hackers
if you do get an Aria check out my Aria Superthread Guide for info about how to mod your new phone
I do own an aria
thanks for the files!! doing root now

It should tell you when it is finished.
One word of advice, unrevoked didn't work for me under windows. I think the Ubuntu LiveCD method is pretty trustworthy though.
I've used UnrEVOked to root 3 different Arias with no problems... so if you don't want to go with the Ubuntu method, go ahead and try Unrevoked.
if unrevoked were working, would I see a series of messages?? I just started it , should the mesage pushing recovery stay on for sometime? how long should it take? Im running win 7 pro 64 bit
It took me about five minutes using the ubuntu method. If it pauses at waiting to reboot, it's safe to take it out, and start it over again I believe.

Hi everyone.
I have a two questions about the XTC clip that I can't find an answer to using search.
When I purchased the phone it came with the unrootable hboot and Android 2.2.1.
I have sourced a HTC clip and will be unlocking my Wildfire today. Once unlocked will I need to flash an older version of hboot - to then allow me to install a custom rom? or can I just install a custom rom as soon as it's done?
My second question is has anyone actually done this and can confirm it works?
Thanks!
xtc clip -> s-off ->
downgrade phone with ruu rom -> hboot 0.8 ->
unrEVOked for root ->
costum rom.
The phone is now set to s off!
Know where I can get the Rom to downgrade?
Thanks!

aman_idrish
you really need to stop what youre doing. If you already could read, you would already know that you cant download xtc clip. Its an item you BUY on http://www.xtcclip.com and not a piece of software.
And NO it does not help asking the same questions 10 times, and then starting making private messages to people asking the same questions.
Now, start to grow up, use the search buttom and search for help, like the most of us. If you cant do that then I'm not sure you should ever bought a phone like android where you can make so many changes.
If you ever get it rooted, what can we then experience from you ? Questions about how you repair it from the disasters you have applied it ?
So start searching...... the answers are there including those you ask all the time. They have been answered.

Thanks,
Downloading it at the moment - Thanks very much for the help. So I'm right in thinking this will downgrade my current hboot to a previous version - which will then let me install Cyanogen and other custom roms?
This is my first HTC phone so I have never actually rooted one before!
Hope this works.

No need of downgrade or Unrevoked if already S-OFF
Sorry to "disappoint" you guys but there is no need to downgrade & Unrevoked at all, if the smart is set to S-OFF.
Explanation is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12188132&postcount=15
NOTE: The method is successfully tested on several smarts.
If you want to suck the MAX of Wildfire try CyanogenMod 7 RC2 (need to reflash the radio to fix GPS), or better wait a while for stable release - coming soon.
