I always recommend AmonRA (latest is 1.7.0.1 IIRC).
As for ROMs, you have 2 main choices (well, maybe 3)
Sense 2.1 ROMs (like official)
Vanilla 2.1 ROMs
Vanilla 2.2 (Froyo ROMs)
Which you go for depends on what you like in a ROM, and how stable you want. Froyo ones are slightly less perfected, but still perfectly usable for a daily phone (I use Froyd on mine every day for the past month or so, without issue)
The most stable would be a Sense 2.1 ROM, as that is as close to the HTC update as you get.
Thanks for the quick answer.
So all i have to do is to flash the amonRa image with flashrec?
After using Universal Androot yes.
@lajba: i'm have same sofware info like yours but didn't manage to get flshrec working
stuck there..

Hi Mike , you can learn everything from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253
Thanks you for this link but I allready try to root it with Universal Androot but it doesn't work correctly on my Hero.
It works on 2.1 but not on 2.1 update1.
I don't knwo what's the best and easier method to root to put a custom rom.
Thanks
Maybe, don't know if this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622228 will still work..
OR
anyone can tell me too if this would work but install an RUU of 1.5 cupcake through HTC Sync and root it from there
with the previously mentionned link.. (you can reinstall 2.1 rom from your recovery then..)
Just some idea's..

My device is Huawei C8500S with cdma in china.
Its origin rom is 2.2.2 froyo,I want to get the baseband file in it to translate to my diy ginger 2.3 rom.
But i can't find it.

not sure if this will help but could possibly lead you in the right direction
on rootzwiki there is a thread/page with a huge list of radios, if you search thre HTC Thunderbolt Radios it should pop up the page

questions about rooting?

I just brought this in Hk, and i installed the adb drivers etc and tried to use the all in one tool to root, it tells me that my device is currently unrootable?
i've done nothing to the tablet
its running
android version 3.2
kernal version 2.6.36.3
build number 1.10.001100029
i thought that it could be rooted? or am i wrong?
in the kernel version, is it also written kernel10? if so, you may have to upgrade to a newer version of honeycomb. Or you can pre-root the ics version and install that. Dont upgrade to ics through the tablet!!!!
