The "only way" to hard brick is to do the ota update THEN use rsd to flash an earlier software version. so if you dont OTA you wont hard brick. So unlock your bootloader, install a custom recovery, then flash to your hearts content

Hi all,
I would like to know if I can root my hero,It was originally on the 3 network but is now unlocked (I bought it like this and I am now using my o2 simplicity sim in it).
The Firmware is 1.5 and the software version is 1.0.0.A6288.
If it is possible do I use the unlockr method of doing it? And also what rom update would you guys recommend?
Many thanks
Tony.

When you say root do you mean so you can add other ROMs or do you mean so you can add/remove system files?
More information would be handy go to settings > about > software version and post
Firmware version, Baseband version, Kernel version, Build number, Software number and Browser version.
ok.
Firmware 1.5
Baseband version 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29
Kernal version 2.6.27-430d1aea
[email protected] #983
Build number 2.73.771.73 CL#94055 release-keys
Software version 1.0.0.A6288
I want to be able to install custom roms and add/remove system files etc.
Thanks.
There is my newbie guide in my sig or there is a "1 click method" being discussed in a topic in the dev forum which you might want to look at.

Well first of all your going to need a recovery ROM onto your hero to allow you to install custom ROMS. Some ROMS come with ROOT, Some Don't.
Because you have build 2.73.771.73 you will need to first install the flashrec application and then download a recovery ROM and use flashrec to load it onto your phone. The recovery ROM is the gateway to unlocking your device for maximum potential.

Thanks for your reply,I will try that.
Sorry,but if I do the above procedure using the MODACOPATCHEDRECOVERY 1.0 rom will this mean my hero is then rooted?
Thanks

I have no knowledge of this ROM, but what you can do is ask from where you got it from.

First of all read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600
Then you need to unlock and root your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
Dont forget to flash the new CWM on your phone!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
And last but not least, go find you favorite ROM.
There are plenty: Alien, CherryBlur, Ninja, etc...
Hope this helps!
I have the Bell Version like you arshiv. Only Think I can add is be carefull as some roms only support the AT&T version for now. I am running CherryBlur with Faux's OC Kernel Undervolted and it is very nice being Android 2.3.4.

phone is unlocked and rooted and Ive got clockworkmod installed allready and Ive got ram issue 83mb free
ok Ive flash new rom 2.3.4 ginger this FROR and his kernel with ram fix
so Ive got last questions
I can only install kernels with 2.6.32.9 (1100) ?
with roms are suitable for me with one will be more stable for my phone?
with kernel will be most preferable for my phone?
when i got this phone(x10a) around ~6 months ago i upgraded the firmware to 2.1-update 1, the baseband to 2.1.54. I rooted the phone, installed xrecovery, drivers etc...
Im looking to upgrade the firmware to 2.3 and possibly getting cyanogenmod. I know that you have to root the phone before you install 2.3, but will upgrading the baseband, or upgrading to 2.3 remove my current root access?
No it won't remove your root access.Mostly because the ROM is already pre-rooted.However,there's a step you need to do after flashing to 2.3 that is upgrading the baseband before turning on the phone.Failure to do this,your phone may not work.
Try this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192988
There's a basic guide there for 2.1 to 2.3 upgrade along with a video tutorial.
Recently I updated my phone to 2.3.6. Then I can't root it using original ways. Does anyone know how to root this 2.3.6 version? Thanks.
