I recently bought an HTC Hero and the last several days I have been looking to "root" it and put a custom rom on it.
I have the non-cdma, european version of the HTC Hero
Firmware - 1.5 version
Build # - 2.73.405.5
I would like to root it using Windows 7 but I can do it on XP if need be but I have been reading so many different things on you have to have this firmware version or this build number on this operating system so I guess what I am trying to ask is is what would be the best tutorial to follow in order to root my Hero and put a custom rom on it with the info I have given above? If anyone needs any other information just let me know.
Thanks!

Use BTDAG's guide linked in my signature. Read the whole thing through then bookmark it.
And I HIGHLY recommend using an XP machine. I wasted HOURS on my Win7, but worked 1st time on my XP one.
I appreciate the help! I've read through this guide before but I am not sure if I would have to use the "Gold Card Procedure" or not. I'll be using a 1GB Sandisk SD card if that helps.

Just start at the beginning. If it throws up errors then you will need to use the goldcard method. If you do run into problems write down what happens and what error messages you get so guys on here can help out without guessing.
I got it! I installed the Villian rom though. Is there any rom that is better?
For Android 2.1 that comes very highly recommended by a lot of people on here.
Im using MCR3.2 but its 1.5.
But have a play,... swap and change every few days. and do Nandroid backups before you switch.
Have fun.
Im not too impressed with the Villian rom... Its so laggy. Im going to try the MCR3.2 and see how that works out.
You could try mr_bang 2 beta 2, I found it very responsive and 100% functional (no gps or by issues).

Hey there, im an tired to death of waiting for this 2.1 update for my phone, and so tried to install a custom ROM last night, I have searched and read so many tutorials on how to Root the phone etc, and install a custom ROM, but i seem to be stuck... im Running 1.5.. First off i am following this tutorial androidforums.com/all-things-root-hero/54802-how-root-install-custom-rom-backup-more.html which seemed to be the most upto date and relevant.
I think i have Rooted my phone using Instant Root
And what im stuck on is running FlashRec.apk It Just refuses to work (backup), so im stuck, i cant get passed this stage
I heave read something about GoldCard? or something, is this another method?
And i have come across more threads about using the SDK on windows somehow...

As far as i'm aware if flashrec doesn't work you need to downgrade, try my guide in my sig for details.
Thats what i thought :/ I don't get it, i haven't installed a single update, and im on 1.5, and i got the phone when it first came out in the UK, so it wouldn't have been updated, unless over the air updates are automatically downloaded and installed without my knowledge or approval?

As you have found out those phones that have network specific ROMS, namely from the carriers named above will find it difficult or impossible to Root using the methods those with non-branded Hero's have.
The only way to install a custom ROM and or root the phone is the following method. As I have had no experiance with this method I am not going to be able to write out any instrcutions of my own, nor am I going to copy and paste someone else's work and take credit for it. Therefore I am providing you with the following link.

I hadnt installed any updates either but i still had to downgrade, and your tutorial worked pefectly
All newish G2 Touches are loaded with a more recent update (although they're still all 1.5.)
This means if you have a new G2 Touch you'll need to downgrade.
I had the exact same issue as you with the backups failing, after searching the internet and using multiple tabs, i finally gained root access, to make life easier for others I created a guide, give it a try, let me know how you get on

Rooting & sim unlocking are totally unrelated. There's no free means to unlock, so you'll have to buy a code.

I had nothing but problems out of my wifes atrix after performing the root procedure. I returned it to stock and traded it in on day 29 and got the htc inspire for her instead which we run cm7 on. The atrix is a nice little device out of the box but once i got tinkering with it seemed like one issue after another. My personal phone is an evo3d. Love it!!!! I know this doesnt answer your OP but just wanted to share my frustrations with the atrix. Good luck.

1. Once you are unlocked you stay unlocked
2. I had the same prob before gingerbread and rebooting the phone seamed to help, since gingerbread I have not had an issue with bluetooth
4. Yes TiBU can do this for you. Backup to extsd then after flashing restore from extsd.

if I format first will I have 4.1.83 version or the one which I had when I first bought the phone....

Depends on what you mean by "format". A Factory reset done on the phone will return you to the stock version of that version, but RSD will return you to the version you flashed.

Depends on how you want to get gingerbread. Either the Official way, where you won't lose your data and won't need to unlock your bootloader BUT YOU CANNOT GO BACK TO FROYO AFTER PERFORMING THE OFFICIAL UPDATE or by flashing custom roms /fastboot images. If you decide to go this way, your bootloader must be unlocked, but you will have the option to go back to froyo.

LOL. "the atrix" eh?
There was NOTHING wrong with your Atrix. It was you. 100%. Undeniable.
Everyone gets the same software from the beginning. Rooting properly doesn't interfere with anything. You most likely used Superone Click.
Plus, first off Evo3d's blow compared to an Atrix, our phones are about 4x more powerful in every way, so don't go repping your Evo3d here. Second, any phone you bought for your wife was not as good as the Atrix, plain and simple.
Another failure. 0/2 bud, nice....
Hi Guys,
I know this is completely against your religion, and i deserve a good hazing, but honestly I just want to be pointed into the right direction. Yes I have searched for terms and read some guides but I am a five year old with this phone/forum. Can someone tell me where to start with getting my att g note running better than the crappy firmware att dumps on it?
Do you root it first? then load a rom? im on a mac, is this possible? Is there a way i can make a "save state" of my current setup and be able to revert back to it if all hell breaks loose?
Please, please be gentle. Im too lazy/busy/retarded to try and start from scratch and learn this whole process, just want someone to hold my hand and tell me what to do.
re
First root,
then install CWM (clock work mod). With this, you can basically create a screenshot of every single file and how it was place. so if you do a backup and brick the phone you can do a restore and it will be as if nothing ever happened.
Next I would go for a Custom Rom / OC Kernel. This is where you use odin. If you reach this point search the forum a bit more and you will find your answers.
good luck!

Ok Got the terminology down. New problem. Im on a mac, no access to a pc. Is there not a mac version of odin? What do mac users do? I see this other software called heimdall, but the general consensus im seeing is "f*** heimdall".
heimdall does not work as of now on this phone; I used it constantly on my previous phone, but, its a no go on this one
I am too an all mac house, and, the only way to root this phone as of now is via Odin, and, there is no mac version of Odin
you have to either get hold of a windows pc, or, install windows on your mac via boot camp, or, run Parallels or VMWare on your mac, install windows on it that way, then install and run Odin to root your phone.
If you don't understand what I just said, then you shouldn't even be attempting this; maybe you live near someone who is more phone adept than yourself, and can do it for you?
After you get setup.
You might want to get this...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&hl=en
Basically the mobile version of Odin, not that you will need it after you get CWM, but it might come in handy.
mobile odin is not compatible with our phone....as of a week or so ago when I tried it..
And, you need root to use Mobile Odin

Have you purchased an external sd card yet? That definitely makings things easier. I didn't have one initially and every time I flashed a ROM I kept erasing all the backup data I had. Now I keep it on the external sd card so that doesn't happen.
I love Saurom Rom, but now I just moved over to Team Perfection ICS Rom and for me it works flawlessly.
Both Saurom and ICS produce roughly the same Quadrant Benchmark scores, and with Saurom you can over clock. My goal was to eliminate any lagg, and both will do that for you.
I've been at this for a month now and have learned quite a bit on this forum. Definitely spend some time on the Noob section .
Saurom apparently is a Canadian based ROM, and because of that, certain apps were not available to me in the app store because of that. The ICS ones didn't produce that issue.

I believe there are only 3 or 4 ics roms out now for this phone, so its pretty simple to try them all and decide from there...
I have a hard time answering when someone asks whats the "best rom", since we all have different criteria for what we consider 'the best"
I'm waiting for the official ICS update for Note. if I root it now, do I have to inroot before I can update to the official ICS?

I would recommend MRom(build on CM7.2) which is pretty decent especially in regard of battery life, until they create a firm version of this ICS leak. It's probably going to be a Jelly Bean release because some guy succeeded to create a JB rom out of this leaked Atrix 4G ICS leak.

If all you want to do is root you can check out superoneclick root, it did the job for me on the last available GB update released. But remember that you have to have the proper drivers installed and that this does not allow you to flash custom roms, it simply gives you root access.
The drivers can be found here (I think).
superoneclick can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
also make sure to read a bit from that thread.
If you are a n00b don't install THAT rom... it's very unstable..
superoneclick rocks
superoneclick rocks, as does cwm recovery. Install both, and don't look back.
well , i managed to unlock bootloader and install recovery and now i just flashed cm10 by epinter
i love it
Hi,
i searched everywhere couldn't find anything about the AT&T verison of HTC One X+ and CM10
Is there a way to root the ATT version and install CM10 on it???
Read only about the international version yet. Don't want to brick my new phone.
Thanks.
Nope, there's still a bit of a wait on CM10/ASOP for AT&T/TELUS users. When a usable version is ready, it'll probably be here with [AT&T/TELUS] in the title.

Should I try any mod or wait? I really want to get the AT&T crud off of my phone. Like I said, my phone is unlocked now.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
There are several non experimental roms you can install already just to get rid of the at&t stuff. Also you could root it and use titanium backup or root uninstaller or something to just get rid of unneeded stuff. If it were me, I would not DARE try anything experimental with my new phone, especially something cm10 related because pretty much all the devs have said there is nothing ready yet on that avenue.

OK, I'm new here and I really thank you all for any advise. I will read on and try to find some of these existing ROM's. This is probably a REALLY big noob question. If my phone is unlocked, does that mean it is rooted?
BTW, I also thank you for the advise on not using any experimental roms. I won't touch unless I know for sure. This new phone is a gem and I don't want to screw it up.

No!
Unlock is unlock and root is root
Indeed. You have unlocked the bootloader which is step 1. Now you need to root which is step 2. There is an all in one tool in the android development forum you can use to root. That might be the easiest way to go. Once you are rooted you can get root uninstaller for free from the play store or titanium backup. Titanium is probably better choice there. You could also flash a rom through recovery that is already rooted but most of those require you flash the kernel seperatly so if you are.very new i probably wouldnt do that just yet. Read up on the process first. Hope that helps.

I used to have Galaxy phones all the time. Switched now to AT&T HTC One X+ unlocked.
At least i know you are the main guy who develops. Maybe i can help in bug report like i did with Galaxy's i9xxx series
Cheers.

HTC One X+ unlock vs root

Thanks! My problem is this..... I used the HTC step by step from http://onexroot.com/one-x-root/how-to-root-one-x/
I got through the step where the instructions say to Mark - Right Click Copy - Paste into the HTCDev.com website
I then followed the instructions on through until the phone was unlocked.
At step 39 the instructions say to -
Reboot your phone into Fastboot mode and type the following in command prompt:and
type and execute at the cmd prompt -
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img
OK, I finished these steps and am now stuck at step 40.
I then copied the CWN-SuperSU-v.0.87.zip file to the root of my phone storage
The phone won't boot in to recovery at all
What is the CWN-SuperSU-v.0.87.zip file for and do I need to complete the step by rebooting using it in recovery mode? It will not boot in to recovery anyway.
So my phone was wiped and unlocked but back to the original AT&T build and I don't understand where I pick up in the process.
This is the point where I get confused. I research and read everywhere too. I know my phone is unlocked for sure. It's not bricked yet. :fingers-crossed:
I don't know where I pick back up with the process using some of the recommendations you guys have given me.

The HTC One X+ All-In-One Toolkit V1.1 looks like what I need to use.
I just want to use something until cyanogyn has been tested and is ready. I want to get rid of all th AT&T bloatware.
Can you tell me where I'm at in the process when it comes to the exact next step I need to process in my phone?
Thank you very much in advance for any help you can offer!
