There was an application called instantroot that roots HTC hero running 1.5 but until the software was upgraded nothing was done for the instantroot application. Do you have information about that? Is the developer still working on it?

Not heard of it for a while, but this method at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726118 works on 2.1 fine with little issues.
Thanks but I'm still looking for a very easy way to do the root. I don't know why(may be I'm afraid) but I still hesitate to root my hero. I'll think about it again, thank again.
Following that link pulser gave will give the easiest way to root your hero.
Its thanks to that I'm able to root it with no problems whatsoever.
Good Luck!! Don't let yourself stay unrooted!!!
Ok. I'll try later as the villainrom web site is not reachable now.

Hmm. Are you having trouble too getting onto the site?
Here's the instructions as posted.
Hi all,
I believe I have managed to find a way to root the 2.1 RUU for GSM Hero, completely using the work of wag3slav3 over at XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724741), so thanks to him
I took his Droid Eris root and used the correct files for our Hero, and thanks to daentech on IRC, we tested the process and it worked. Here are the conditions used in the test:
1) GSM HTC Hero installed with the 2.1 ROM based on RUU (on this occasion an update.zip was used, as the user involved didn't want to lose root obviously). That zip is unrooted and stock, taken straight from the RUU and converted to update.zip.
2) Booted into ROM, and enabled USB debugging. ADB was installed and set up on this machine, as per this guide - http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=1735
3) Then downloaded this file: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/uploads/GSMRoot.zip
4) Extract it to a folder on your computer. Open the command prompt using Start > Run > cmd.exe (and press enter)
5) use cd to get into the folder you stored the extracted files.
6) Run the command "runindos.bat"
(If you use linux, put adb in your path folder, and then download this shell script: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/uploads/runinlinuxadb.sh and execute it as normal. Rest will be same as in windows. )
7) Ideally, the phone should sit there for a bit, with some things appearing on screen like
Files copied and permissions set, rebooting HTC Andriod 2.1
Your phone will now reboot into normal mode, then reboot into recovery mode
If it does not reboot the second time, wait 10 minutes and manually reboot and begin again
Your phone is now rebooting in Rooted Recovery mode, do a backup and load yourROMs
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And it will reboot a couple of times. You will hopefully end up sitting in recovery with a blue 'care bear' in the background
If so, you now have a custom recovery installed. Do a nandroid, and flash a custom ROM like VillainROM 12 or whatever. You should now have root.
8) To further enhance the usefulness of recovery flash VR 12 from here: http://villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=95&t=1807 which includes a modified recovery that wipes better than the stock Amon-Ra
If you don't get it to work, please post any errors or details of what happens, and copy and paste your entire command prompt window contents into a
Code:
[/quote] box in the forum window so we can see what's happening.
Hope this works

I would love to take credit for that guide but the user ante0 created it (such a simple method I overlooked). Here is it quoted. It is missing pictures but should make enough sense (i hope). It is highly recommended to have the latest HTC Sync installed (link in my sig) for this guide.
Tools needed:
Android SDK (Links below)
HTC Sync (Links below)
Winrar - to extract Android's SDK files.
Patience and time.
1. Getting ADB (Android Debug Bridge)
Okay. You now need to get ADB, which is a part of android's SDK. It can be obtained here http://developer.android.com/sdk/downlo ... indows.zip
or if it's updated when you read this you can go here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and download it. Get the Windows version if you use a windows PC.
Next we need to "install" it. This is done by simply extracting it to your harddrive (Install WinRar, then rightclick on the zip file). I chose C:\android-sdk-windows\. (Actually I chose C:\, the folder in the zip is named android-sdk-windows, so it goes there by default.)
After that is done we are now done with the "installing" part.
2. Setting up environment variables (access adb from outside of \sdk\tools directory.)
Now that we have extracted all files we need to set up environment variables to make our lives easier.
I always do this, because if you don't you need to be in the sdk\tools folder at all times...
Okay, so here we go...
Windows XP:
Rightclick on "My computer" and select "Properties".
click on the "Advanced" tab in the box that appears, looks like the pic below.
Image
Click on the button named "Environment Variables".
Now, doubleclick on the text entry named "Path" in the lower list box.
at the end of it, enter "might\have\other\entries\before\;C:\Path\To\SDK\Tools".
In my "path" it looks like this ";C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\".
(";" is required at the start so windows knows it's a new entry.)
Click on OK to exit out of the dialog, then OK again to get out of My computer's properties.
Now we have it set up.
Windows 7/Vista:
This is similar to Windows XP's setup of environment variables.
Rightclick on "My computer" and select Properties.
In the System window that appears click on "Advanced System settings" located in the left list.
Click on the Advanced tab in the box that appears, then on the "environment variables" button.
Same thing here. Doubleclick on "Path" located in the lower list box.
At the end of it, enter "might\have\other\entries\before\;C:\Path\To\SDK\Tools".
In my "path" it looks like this ";C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\".
(";" is required at the start so windows knows it's a new entry.)
Now click on OK, then OK again to exit.
Alright, all set up!
3. Making sure USB works...
Use this guide: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=379
4. Using ADB
I won't list all commands you can use here. I will only list some examples...
Remember to plug your phone in your usb cable (I've forgotten sometimes... lol)
Start by opening a command prompt.
This is done by opening up the startmenu then click on "Run..." (Alternative way: Windowskey + R).
In the "Run..." box, enter "cmd" without quotes.
If you have some knowledge of using a cmd prompt you don't need to read the next part.
To navigate you mainly use the commands CD and DIR.
Here's an image of what it looks like
Image
C:\Documents and settings\jwork> tells you what your current working folder is.
To get out of it, use the command "cd ..".
This will go back one folder, so your new location will be C:\Documents and settings>
One more "cd .." will take you to C:\.
Now, lets say you have a folder named Images in C:\. To enter it you use "cd Images".
If you want to list all files in that folder, enter the command "dir".
Now you might have a image named image01.jpg in that folder, that you want to get to your phone.
Use the command adb push image01.jpg /sdcard/
It should notify you now if the push was successful.
You can check if the image is on your sdcard by using the command "adb shell ls /sdcard/".
That should conclude this guide...
One more thing, if you just enter "adb" it will show a list of all commands with descriptions.

Have you ever heard of Universal Androot? It is only one click away to root your hero2.1.
It's working on my hero.
Universal Androot? Never heard of it. But it looks great and easy. Can I also install another firmware after I root my device with it?
Can I install another firmware like FroydVillain 1.2.2 OTA on my hero after rooted it with this application?
If it installs a custom recovery image then yes you should be able to. If not try installing ClockworkMod and then installing AmonRA - once you have root.
You are the best. Thank you.
Application thread in the Nexus forum. Worked on my Hero 2.1 for instant root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598
For this to work you will need to be rooted with twrp installed.
This is for people who are on the stock rom or a rom without init.d support.
1. Download the wp_mod.ko file from @flar2's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701816
and copy it over to your SD card (either internal or external)
2. Boot into twrp
3. Select the "Mount" option on the main menu and tick system
4. Go back to the main menu and then go into the "Advanced" option. There will be a "File Manager" option
5. Navigate to the folder you saved the .ko file in and copy it (just touch the file and it will bring up the menu)
6. now navigate to /system/lib/modules and copy the file there by hitting the "select" button on the bottom right.
7. Navigate to /system/lib/modules and insure the file is there. Now touch it to bring up the menu. select "Chmod" option and enter in 644
8. reboot the device
9. Once booted fully open up Terminal emulator and type:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
10. Once that's done open up a file manager app with root access and mount as r/w and navigate to /system/etc and look for the file install-recovery.sh
11. edit the file using a text editor, adding the line insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko towards the bottom of the file
12. reboot and enjoy r/w on boot without running the command every time
13. profit
I don't have my hands on mine yet (ordered a Dev edition from Amazon), but I greatly appreciate your work here! R/W was a massive pain for me on my M7, and this seems much more simple and easy. Thanks again!

Does this work if the phone is still s-on? (unlocked/rooted but no s-off)
Sorry, but will this fix my little niggling issue with MX player? I keep my Stewart/Colbert files on the extSD card, but I can't delete them when done watching them using MX Player's delete command. I have to remember which files are watched and then use ES File Explorer to delete them. A silly second step in my opinion. Yes I am rooted, s-on, with TWRP.
I'm staying stock hoping a firewater solves my s-on issue, but yes I should probably do a custom ROM to solve this and a few other things.
Will this make SD card writeable to all apps?

Okay guys first off sorry if there's a thread for this but XDA has become so over crowded and full of comments it's just to much to read through and try to remember. But anyway
Can anyone point me in the right direction or simply explain real quick how to properly root the T-Mobile variant. I'm running full stock (Obviously) I'm on H91810j and would like to debloat a little and use greenify. Any help is appreciated.

There is literally speaking a thread dedicated just for the sake of rooting and twrp lol. Here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/h918-recowvery-unlock-v20-root-shell-t3490594
It should take about 3 to 5 minutes to complete the whole process if you know what you are doing. If you are a noob it might take sometime to figure out were to go from one step to another
Also, just remember, there is a search function on the v20 section's main screen. You can always use keywords and the function will search what you are looking for (if someone has posted something related to That). As French prople says... "Bon chance|"
P.s: yes. The rooting method by jcadduono works for 10j

Wait. I forgot to tell you. You cant double click the files. The files can be accessed only by using cmd. (command promt). So, extract the files into a folder, and use cd or pushd in dorect it to the directory where the files are. That is the proper way.

You could use the desktop but it is more troublesome to type the directory. Thats why i suggest to put it on the downloads folder and asked you to not start the cmd as administrative. Because when you dont start it as administrative, cmd will start right from the users folder and then is only a matter of writting pushd Downloads. Focus on the first part first. Otherwise you will go nowhere lol.

I did adb devices and it shows my phone but when I do fastboot oem unlock it just hangs at waiting for devices. USB debugging is on and so is OEM unlock.

This didn't work for me. I tried renaming first and then deleting the entry. None worked. I went back and tried again and all the settings are already correct as per the guide. I did it again anyways and still nothing even after a reboot. Not a huge deal since I can still just open CMD and cd to the correct location. I have mine at c:/SDK/platform-tools so it isn't a huge pain. Any ideas? I took the latest Creator update.

What the heck, I wonder why it isn't working for me. Is your username (for step 6) a single word or two? Mine is my first and last name. I don't think that should be an issue since when I type it in and hit check names it shows up as PC NAME\FIRST LAST so it doesn't seem to have any problems with that. Checked the box under it, deleted registry key. Changed admin to full control & nothing. Tried giving USER full control as well and nothing.
I've followed the steps 100% about 8 times now, I know I'm not missing anything, but it just won't work for me. :crying:

For user name I just put my email and hit ok then it automatically put my first and last name. Also make sure to allow full control for administrators. Then delete the dwords

Yep yep, did those both and still no dice. Just powershell. IDK what's going on.

Hey,
Not sure what's the problem. I tried it before posting, because i didn't want to post it just assuming it would work. Check the attached screenshot. Just followed the tutorial and i got "Open command window here" back...
Yeah it's not working for me. Oh well.

I don't give up so easily :good:
Try adding this *.reg file: Enable Command Prompt.reg
Just double click and accept... Open it if you wish, basically, it's just the "HideBasedOnVelocityId" renamed to "_HideBasedOnVelocityId"
I didn't find infos if it also needs proper permissions.
Let me know if it works...
Also adding a "disable command prompt" in case you want to revert the change. I just found the *.reg somewhere and edited it a bit...
Cheers...

I tried the *.reg file just for fun and it seems it still needs proper permission though...
By the way, did you properly set the full control at step 9?
Strange, but after a reboot it disappeared for me until i set "full control" for my username (Seb desktop as you can see on the attached screenshot) and not administrator as per the tutorial... This thing is really weird. Doesn't work for you, disappear after reboot for me, lol...
Good luck...
Option in settings for powershell or CMD... I think

I remember someone complaining that powershell was default and told me how to change it. Right click taskbar then navigation or properties. I'll look tomorrow if that isn't correct. My mind is so foggy sometimes

Hey,
Check the OP and the second post of this thread. This doesn't have anything to do with what we are trying to achieve...
Thanks though...

Just put "./" before your commands in power shell.
(Without the quotes if that isn't obvious)

Hey,
I set adb + fastboot path in environment variable and forget about it...
Still your post doesn't help to replace powershell by Command prompt using contextual menu which is the matter of this thread... :good:

I've installed the newest Lineage OS, but I want to turn of "Double Tab to wake". But after one day, it automatically turned on again, but without showing it in the settings (showed that it's turned of). Now I have the question if there is any possibility to turn it off?
Thanks,
Philipp
The setting does not stick after the reboot. You have to enable it and disable it again. Then it should be really disabled until the next reboot.
Okay, thank you. I hope they will fix it soon
I think it may be because you flashed a custom kernel.
Some custom kernels break dt2w

Until they fix this you can use a script to disable it. Use init.d or any automate app to run the script at boot. It'll turn off the tap2wake.
#!/system/bin/sh
tap2wake=/proc/touchpanel/double_tap
echo "0" > $tap2wake
could you maybe tell me how to use this command? Sorry for that, but I am new in that and don't know what to do

Since you're new to this I'll give you the easiest way to do this.
1. Download the script from the link given below. (or use my last post's code to make a script yourself)
2. Put it in a folder in sdcard.
3. Install 'init.d scripts support' app from play store.
4. Open the app & tick 'try to aquire root privileges'. Grant root access.
5. Tick 'run scripts at boot time' option.
6. Set 'execution delay' to a desired time.
7. Select the folder you put the downloaded file.
Tap2wake disable script - http://www.mediafire.com/file/r4h5z8p1ez21jpi/tap2wakedis.sh
Done. Now every time you reboot, app will execute the scripts in the selected folder which contains our script to disable double tap2wake.
You can always execute the script using ini.d, su.d, tasker, macrodroid etc.
I have some problems with activating it, I've put the error message as attachment maybe you could look over it.

I forgot to change the line ending to Unix. I edited the post check it again.
It's still not working, I used another app and it's telling me permission denied. But thank you for your help

Try the link again this time it should work. lol. I've added /bin/bash not /bin/sh. old habits. If you're using a terminal issue 'su' first then 'sh SCRIPT_PATH'.
worked now Thanks so much :victory:
