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.
So I lost my phone..the new one came in last night. And it came with 2.3.4.. I tried to down grade it..followed all the instructions from the forum and everything worked fine..until the bootloader part. It said that it couldn't find the
PD15img.zip file when I put it in the root of the sd card. And then I followed the FAT32 method to make the phone read my sdcard..but that still Didn't work..now what?? Used the search bar but could find anything..

Look in the vision g2 section I was in the same boat as you there is a tut in those forums for downgrading to 2.2.1 with adb it also works for mt4g wish I still had link but its there
Same here... Lost my phone and received the replacement yesterday (off course version 2.3.4). Turned out it is a refurbished, the speaker not working, the earpiece not working. I missed another release of lovely Miui
I just happened to see this post and am curious what the problem is... Why are you downgrading it???
I have a Mytouch 4g (HTC Glacier) which was having issues and I just got the replacement. I have not even turn it on, but I have not doubt it will be 2.3.3-- their latest OTA udpate.
Is there going to be any problem rooting this?? Again, it alarmed me that people were trying to downgrade..
Has the firmware/bootloader changed???

There is no method to root 2.3.4 yet. That's why people have to downgrade.
Do you mean like downgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.2.1 root it, and then upgrade to 2.3.4?
But the only way to do that is if we had the stock 2.3.4 rom, which we don't have, correct?
So I can skip the root and wait, or I can downgrade and be able to use 50% of the apps which I would otherwise be unable to use as they require root.
This sucks.... I am sure someone is working hard on this... but I am surprised there has not been any method (even one that was risky -- as in one typo and you've bricked it) figured out by someone...
Ummm.. Next question then, Can anyone tell me any obvious benefits of the TMO 2.3.4 stock? Is it fast, or mediocre? Or is it just worthless due to the fact that you cannot root it?

Didn't quite understand what you mean but yes, if you got the phone pre-installed with TMO's 2.3.4 then there's no way to root that. You would have to downgrade back to Froyo then root it.
There really are no benefits to TMO's stock 2.3.4 since CM7 2.3.5, VU's 2.3.4 and MIUI's 2.3.5 GB are all better and faster. And even if you liked TMO's GB version for some reason there are rooted and deodexed versions to flash in the dev section. So there really is no downside to rooting.
And as previously stated, the only way to downgrade would be to use that thread in the G2 section which requires ADB.
If you have any questions I just finished downgrading my replacement phone and and rooting via gfree last night.
And before last night I've never even used ADB before.
Found 2 threads that helped me do just that.
Got it all downgraded then followed a video to root gfree. (mackster248)
(Never rooted that way before either.)
Anyway PM if you need help. Maybe I can help you out.

I came over from Sprint Sunday. I bought a new MT4G, and it had 2.3.4 on it. I had a bad feeling there wasnt gonna be a root method for it. I jumped on my PC and did a few google searches. I came up with this method to downgrade:

It went perfect. I also looked at a few of the root methods. I found this one to be easiest for me:

I only post this becuase I havent seen any links posted and I imagine alot more people are gonna end up with the GB MT4G's out of the box. Total time to downgrade and root was less than 30 minutes.
same thing happened to me, I tried the adb process but it's hard. so I gave up.. Good luck to you

But this method cannot be used if you have 2.3.4 stock, correct? I looked at it quickly.... it doesn't seem to mention downgrading (unless I overlooked it), so it would require downgrade to Froyo first, correct?

Yes you would half to downgrade to 2.2.1 to root there is no way to root 2.3.4 right now
Yea, unlike most of the other HTC. Phones that got a 2.3.4 update, revolution doesn't support unlocking the mytouch 4g without a downgrade. On the first page of this thread I posted a link to downgrade and the easiest way I found to root. Someone also posted links on this page. I found a few other root methods but they required you to install apps to gain temp root access or download files on the phones browser. The link I found actually only requires you to dl and unzip a few files to your PC and run maybe 10 or 12 commands in a terminal. Very easy.

I wasn't able to get root access using the same method as you did. SU installs but not correctly. I had to uninstall it. In the command prompts I get some errors regarding where SU is installing and it does say success, but root is not obtained. You are SURE that you have root correct? Just asking for a confirm, but not doubting you got it if you say you did. Looks like we are the pioneers here.

After that, if is on KK use this Towelroot (just search forum)
All the credit goes to @geohot for amazing root by just an apk
1. Install apk
2. Make it rain
3. Phone will reboot
4. install Super SU from play store

Well, first of all, after you root, NEVER take an OTA update or you'll brick. That being said, although the previous way mentioned is easier, I'd suggest getting used to adb and its miracles. Check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232&postcount=869 for a guide on how to root with adb. Adb is very useful if you screw something up.
As for the order in which to do things, it's basically up to you. I believe the 806 is the same as the 802, so check that section out for stock ROMs and such, especially if you root first. It seems like you may have to update manually either way since you get an error while trying to OTA update.

Hey, I've already rooted it using adb. I thought I'd be fine with some Xposed modules, but I couldn't find many for the G2 so I think I'll end up installing a custom ROM based on KK stock, but since I'm in Jelly Bean I don't know how to do this (read somewhere I should flash a baseband of KK or somethings like that and got really scared haha)
Hope you can help me!
EDIT: Downloaded the Kitkat baseband and CloudyG3 ROM. I don't have TWRP because I can't find the file for D806. I'd appreciate if someone could guide me to the right direction!

Yeah, but i was talking about the modding hahaha
Sent from my LG-D806 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Wow you learned a a lot quicker than me and I've been on android since 2012
now where should we star
fisrt off i want to say i didn't made the root for this model , the root of this device is already available on xda
this is the original post on how to root your lg g4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765/
now i'm just going to tell you what file and commands you must use in order to root the h-815p
now first get the International H815 10c Version pre rooted file and you also need the International H815 10c Version commands for that , again all the commands and files can be found in the original post , no all you have to do is just to follow the steps although it says its not compatible with the h-815p don't worry it will work i've tested it on a few h-815p models and so far there was no problems any way , PLEASE DO THAT AT YOUR OWN RISK just because it worked for me it may not work with you
and also a spacial thanks to all the developers on XDA for making it possible
if you have any questions let me know
Excellent tutorial,
But i was wondering what if i don´t want to flash my lg g4, instead i want to use another easy way like one click root. im a newbie rooting and don´t want to mess up my G4. Is there any tool to root it?
androidphoria dot com under desarrollo/root-lg-g4, explained it (in simple Spanish steps) but as a newbie rooting i need to know if this really works too. And as i mentioned i don´t want to mess my G4.
Thanks in advance xda-developers members!!!

I could be mistaken, but there are no one click root methods out. I have checked out the supplied link and seen the page for the one click root and it personally looks malicious to me. You could always sandbox the application and scan for viruses to verify it's authenticity.
Not sure rooting one click tool
Hi, ive already downloaded it and scan with A V G Avirus and noting happens, not threads founds. one click has a support list but there is not LG G4 in it, although it says that the list is not complete and rooting my phone maybe works, as a non harming tool i must test the rooting step, but still not sure. So, I´ve been looking with others like frama root, srs tools this last one has a support list but when you click on it, doesn't works. frama root (apk) never try, and there is another one, towel root. I googled little bit more and read that lot of users root s4, and s3 with it. These methods works in apk file. and except srs tools. iroot a Chinese version for pc and apk for cel, is anorther one. But still dont know if i try, i just barely bought the G4 4 days ago. And every blog i read, i saw to read xda-developers infos. maybe im wrong, but no body here mention rooting with one of those one click rooting tools. As newbie i cant post urls vid from you tube rooting with one of them. I dont want to try rooting my g4 if here in xda-developers, i dont get clearly what to do In very simple way for me, a newbie.
Again, thanks in advance

The methods posted here are pretty easy to follow.
The key is to read them completely, every single word, without skipping any.
Asking questions if you do not understand the instructions before you attempt to execute the steps, not after.
There is no one-click root method for the G4 right now.
Good luck in your choice.

Thanks a lot. I ll be patient and read carefully as you said,
The thing is that this process is not the easiest but I wanted to give some info to all the h_815P users that there is a root and that I its tested as well
Still looking a one click root for LG G4
As I said, I´ll be patient, but still looking for and found another one click method, it is Root Genius, but never try to root my g4. I know all the effort made by those here doing a Root for the LG G4, that really works and it is mention step by step in the original link post above described. when i said a root in a simple click is cuz its not familiar or easy to root for me as newbie. One click rooting for me is like Towelroot, unlock root, super one click, iroot(former vroot) kingoroot, framaroot. Again thanks in advance.
I am currently on V20d can I still use this method or should I downgrade first.
