It would be great if there was a simple How to section, where genius' could post stuff for amateurs (like me)
eg
How to ... root your hero (for noobs)
etc

By all means..... care to write it???
Most people posting processes/procedures here will assume a certain level of knowledge, and aren't really in the business of writing "... for dummies" guides (no offence to anyone). As has already been said, search is your best friend because all of the information you require is available - you just need to find it.
As an aside, with the later ROMs you need to use the Goldcard method to downgrade and root your Hero, and the procedure that has already been given is about as simple as it is going to get because it is a complicated process.
Regards,
Dave
Funny, I thought all the thread stickies at the top of each forum were mostly this kind of information... its pays to search, read first, ask later.
Especially here
Let's not forget the Wiki, which can be updated by anyone. If you find what you need while searching, update the wiki yourself so that other new hero owners can also find the information easily....

Hi all,
I am new to the HTC Hero, which i get in about 1 week. I am NOT new to the forum.
I have a HTC Touch HD (Blackstone) which i flashed a lot.
But now i am going to Android, and i wanted to know a few things to be sure before i completely destroy my Hero in 1 hour..
I see of course, after looking for myself (maybe not good enough), that there are some Sticky's in the forum which explains CID bypassing, make Root, etc..
Is there any topic or document which can explain me step by step, with some referrals to topics on forum, and nessecary files, how i can flash my HTC Hero?
for example: here, here and here (blackstone examples)
Thanks guys
everyone is new at one time or another but seriously you are adept enough to post links to threads for blackstone kacjking you SHOULD have enough about you to be able to read the threads on rooting the hero.
Its a doddle to do and reading a few threads wont kill you.
The threads directs you to the MODACO siter where the files are kept. The Unlcker.com has videos to follow AND links to the files needed (again all these are held in the threads and stickies)
You wont kill the hero and its as easy to unlock these as it is the blackstone (I used to have one so I know)
Enjoy and search is your friend!!

btw the thread on rooting is this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552591

thank you, this is helpfull
i already have read the posts about the rooting stuff.
but i just wanted to be sure before i root things etc (hehe) that i wont kill it..
i wont so i am pleased
thanks for the answer!
Hi Folks,
I want to root my S2which is currently on GB 2.3.6 with following specs:
Model : GT91000G
PDA:I9100GXWLC2
CSC:I9100GODDKL1
Phone:I9100GDDKL1
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version:I9100GDDKL1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected]#2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWLC2
I wanted to root without much flashing and here is what I was thinking.
1). Get the insecure Kernel and flash it.
2). Get install SU with help of Galaxy2root.zip application
3), Once rooted flash it with original Kernel.
Now my Question is: For my phone specs:
1). Where I can find Secure Kernel and insecure kernel? Links and name of kernel is preferred..
2). if I flash insecure and then flash secure kernel, will the binary counter increases?
Any other preferred method for rooting ensuring stock ROM is same?
thanks
SAM
Read the stickies. The only particularly important detail is that you have an I9100G. The rules tell you to search before posting, do you really think in the year the phone has been out, no-one thought to ask how to root?

Hey man..given that its a forum..people can ask questions. Lot of time even after reading on forum you may still not figure out whats right for you..so chill.
Help me with the answer...
He did help you with the answer. All the info you're after has been asked for on here hundreds of times before (and answered). If you can't find what you're looking for with XDA search, do a Google search and append XDA to your search terms (do you know how many results I just got with "root I9100G XDA" ?).

Hey boss..Same line of argument..Did u even read my questions..I am not able to find kernel both secure and insecure .. just want to know what kernel I can use..If I am mentioning this it does shows that I have gone through material on net etc.
Help and move on..
Answers for such basic questions are almost always in Development sections (sticky threads, guides and so on). So I strongly recommend you visit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585413 , these users will be definitely more likely to help you. General section is occupied mostly by i9100's users, and sorry but we have no idea about i9100G.
One word. Bull****. I.E - I don't believe you. I absolutely do not believe that I can type those search terms into Google, get all those results, yet you somehow can't.
I know what the issue is here. You can't be bothered reading. You want the information spoonfed to you. We don't do that here. People here are encouraged to read & learn. If you were asking a question that was complex/difficult, I'd be more than happy to oblige you. You're asking basics. Answers to basics are easily found with only a minimum of effort on your part.
That you can't be bothered even expending that minimal effort says a lot. It tells me you'll probably try and take shortcuts when you do work out how to root your phone, and experience on here generally indicates people who do that end up with borked phones.
I am moving on. And I certainly won't be offering any help should you end up borking your phone.
Also, you didn't say please in your OP, which shows me you also lack manners. In fact, your entire OP has this "I want, I demand, give me" smell to it.
You might want to take a step back & reflect for a moment that it might well be (actually, this is certain) that you are the issue here, and not the two people who have replied to your OP thus far.

thank.. I will search..Only reason I am posting here is that I cant post it on Development. Seems Tough to get Original Kernal and insecure. one.. THanks a anyways.
Hey Man,
It may possible that you are subject matter expert and that why you might be senior member.But it doesn't give you liberty to write like this. fact that I am posting shows that I was requesting.
After searching possibly everywhere, I am just asking which kernel etc..it is humanly impossible to all the entries on forum. Doing google only I came to knw the solution I wanted to pursue.
Any ways..I am rest assured that I will never lose my phone by flashing incorrectly.. It will be not because of you but many of other member who are willing to share there expertise without make so much of noise.
No Personal Feeling man..

Thread moved to Q&A section.
OP, you are more likely to get help with questions in the Q&A section. Please read your posts carefully before starting a new thread to make sure you put it in the correct section. This keeps our forums clean and gives you the best chance to get the help you need.
While there is a TON of information out there on rooting, kernels, ROMs, etc, you really will learn a lot by just spending some time searching and reading over information, Google is your friend for general knowledge on these items, and XDA will help with your device specific needs. I'm sure the nice people here will offer you some more advice on the phone you have, in the meantime, start reading and learning, it really can be fun and satisfying Good luck to you!
can any 1 help me or not ??
have you read what diestarbucks suggested you? read, read, read
1)about root- it's sticky thread in general section. how you missed it? didn't read..
2)google for app2sd, super app2sd, link2sd..
3) about your last few questions, that you will need to find out yourself. there are plenty threads around XDA and on google, which explains what is what.
Forum is big, yes, so there is no need for creating threads for each and every question, and making it even bigger. Some questions can easily be found by simple search, or by looking(not sure how hard is it to spot sticky thread..)

You wont learn if you have that kind of arrogance brother. Try asking alittle more nicely. Im sure people here wouldnt mind helping you if u do approach nicely. Search on google and links will be provided to you for each specific info or tutorial you need.
I'm very sorry to ask this, but I'm searching and searching and most of the threads with rom's just don't explain anything. The just say "there are plenty of post explaining this". But how can people try something, if in the thread of the ROM avoid explanations, how can we move foward in DEV the nook tablet when the whole organization of this part of the forum is lacking a lot of "how to's"
I'm not the most knowledged android user, but after 3 devices, all of them rooted and with custom roms it's hard to come to the nook tablet forum and not being able to do much,
If someone could point me out in the right direction I would appreciate and then the admin can close this thread.
Cheers

Thanks for the kind assistance provided:good:

I can write 10 times HELP ME, then help ?
Thank you so much ! The forums in Russia is not so accepted!
What are the 10 posts you provide? What kind of information ? Where is the location of missile units in Russia ? ? ?
Why do you have such idiotic demands?

Dear coolsandie, as I have not received any help from you , and not honored any attention , I ask you to delete my account . On your forum I do not see any reason to stay . You recommended that the Russian people as the experts of the case. So I cheated. All Russian forums will know how you managed with the newcomers in your forum! Good luck

Okay, if I understand right I guess if you are looking for a dedicated forum for your device (Bliss S5) then you can request that here: *** New Device Forum Requests ***. Sorry I'm not sure what you are looking for, thus giving these links to help you with your query asked in the first post even though its vague. You can either take them, or not, no issues. Sorry, can't delete your account because I'm just a member just like you and members can't delete another member's account, lol. Good Luck!
