I think the title clearly says what i need ^^ Since i cannot ask some dev's to make this i wanted to give it myself a try. But how can i do it?
First: I wanna know how to make the 2.1 stock update root
Second: I wanna know how to make the 2.1 stock rooted update Work with App2sd
Hopefully someone could prove me and others who are thinking about this with some tutorials
Regards

There is no way to root the stock ROM yet. Thus the app2sd cannot be applied as well. The easiest way would be to wait till a rooted version is released.
I'm also interested by the 2 point of your post.
To root your Phone you could use this Universal androot ( it work fine for My Hero G3 2.1 Official )

I'm new to android phone, after reading lots of post about rooting, I've got a few questions to ask. I have 2.73.405.5 European ROM, as I know I'll have to downgrade to older version (1.76.405.1_R3) to get it rooted. I like HTC Sence UI pretty well. My major purposes to get it rooted is to get APP2SD, and some blue tooth and ad-hoc wifi features works.
- Is there any different between these 2 version?
- Can I update to later official version but still have root access?
- If not, which custom ROM keep all or at least the most from HTC's official ROM?
Thanks in advance!
First of all you don't have to downgrade, I have that same version ( I had to downgrade from a higher version) and root works fine with the flashrec method (see stickes in the forum).
Second, root doesn't give you APP2SD out of the box as I understand (not sure about it) you can however install custom mods that enable that feature and work with it, I recommend Modaco (the one I am using currently).
I don't think you can upgrade (as I had to downgrade), the rooting process uses a bug in the system that has been fixed and patch in later versions.
I have downgraded and I have not noticed any missing features or lack of support for something.
Hi all
I'm a complete newbie to the Android, but in the four weeks I've had the HTC Hero, I've set up email, downloaded loads of apps etc, but I've started to notice some problems.
I was advised to upgrade from Android 1.5 to Android 1.6 ahead of the upcoming release of 2.1, but I want to backup all my apps, email settings, messages, etc. so I don't have to start again after the upgrade.
I've been reading through the forums for a few days, and can't find a simple guide. I've found a lot about "root" but nothing about what root is! (As I said, I'm a complete newbie)
Any chance someone could post an idiots guide?
Many thanks
You know...The problem doesn't even exist!! Are you happier than before huh? ...Why? What? Didn't you know? F***ing HTC won't release ANY 2.1 update for our Heroes until 26th of April! Oh sure, you could upgrade to 1.6 but....NO! You can't! Because HTC has decided that 1.6 upgrade will never be released! Oooorrr...You could read some guide about "rooting" your Hero and installing a custom rom This is the best and quickest way to get 2.1 features without waiting for official HTC upgrade. Even because when the new firmware will be released maybe there won't be the possibility of rooting again the phone! So you're forced to use stock rom! And if you don't like it...Well...go to hell! XD (By HTC, not by me obviously...). I can only suggest you some "short" readings and a particular 2.1 rom:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124 (The most powerful and friendly modded recovery)
So read, read and read! Then, when you think you're ready, try to root your Hero, if you're not able to do it maybe you've got a perfect SPL...But this is another story...
Oh..and (google)search, (google)search, (google)search //A sort of casting....
+1 MARDURHACK.
A few more things here,...
Have a read of What Can I Do With Root - INFO
Then check out [Guide] Newbie Guide to Install a Custom Rom
....Then when you get to the bit about installing your custom ROM, use the link that MARDURHACK provided if you want to try out a 2.1 ROM. Or you can have a look at the other ROMs available in the development section here at XDA.
I had my Hero for about 3 weeks but wanted a 100% stable ROM, so have opted for the MODACO 3.2 ROM. It is Android 1.5, not 2.1. You can get that from HTC Hero section @ MoDaCo.com
.... I can confirm, its the dogs bollocks!
I'v jst got the 2.1 update for my hero on orange, uk. I want to be able to install to my sd card, but I have no idea whatsoever on how to go about it. any help would really be appreciated
Follow the guide "complete newbie guide to install a custom rom" thread in the android development section. You will need to put on a custom rom that supports apps2sd, which most of them do. Im not sure if your hero needs a goldcard tho, but if you dont, follow the first 3 steps and the apps2sd section. Took me less than 30 mins and i dont know anything about android
You're not able to use Apps2SD on the official releases. It has to be enabled on the ROM itself AFAIK. You'll need to root and install a custom rom.

Hi all
I have recently bought myself a HTC Hero / T-Mobile G2 which I have been wanting to get for ages, I bought it from Ebay and it came with Firmware version 2.1-update 1 which I understand is Froyo?
Anyhow I was wondering if someone might be kind enough to point me in the right direction of how to root my phone, I have tried searching but the amount of entries are overwhelming and to be honest I am not sure where to start. My ultimate goal is to have it rooted and then have the ability to have apps installed to the memory card...
Also once rooted what is the best 2.1 rom to flash the phone with?
Thanks for any help in advance, it is very much appreciated!

Android 2.1 isn't Froyo - Froyo is android 2.2.
Check out this software universal androot and use that. Though there isn't a documented guide (that i know of).
My sig has a newbie guide which might work on 2.1 (unconfirmed) which you could try. If not you need to wait for http://villainrom.co.uk/ to bring back their 2.1 root guide and use that.
Thank you for your help
I am now on VillainROM 12 and am loving it!
Thanks once again...
Just so you (and others) know. I've now updated my guide to be super quick and it uses Universal Androot now too. Finally a documented method to root which uses this program.
Hello there,
I recently changed from symbian to android.....Can some help me on how to apply themes in wildfire ...especially this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060333
Theming is very different in Android compared to Symbian. What you see there requires a Custom ROM with a Theme Chooser App inbuilt into it.
So, if you have a Custom ROM (Cyanogenmod 7 or Ginger Yoshi), then just install it, and choose via Theme Chooser.
Obviously, you will need root for it, which will not be possible via software if you are on Android 2.2.1
then if i update to 2.2 can i root?
No. Please read again. If you are 2.2 you can NOT root.
Until down to 2.1, most people stuck wit dis take time to read around, you'll find your
ok mine is 2.1 and am planning root it and use cyanogen mod...after doing this am gonna install the samsung touchwiz by rolle..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709763
will this provided touchwiz file work with wildfire without the need for rooting...?
if so ill updatet to 2.2 officially and install this launcher..plzz guide me
Its under the Nexus One Forum, so its unlikely it will work. There is some user who has developed TouchWiz for the Wildfire, and you can find it at the Wildfire Android Development Forum (Just use Search).
As for root, I don't know whether it will work without root or not, but, I would personally recommend you to not update to official 2.2.1 because you will lose the ability to root (Even if you do not intend to install Custom ROMs - At this point of time), and you will have to stick with the stock functionality, meaning you will not be able to change your mind later about installing root apps and Custom ROMs like Cyanogenmod.
Of course, if you are 101% convinced you will never require root and Custom ROMs, you are welcome to update to official 2.2.1
thanks alot for the advice ...i decided to root and install CM7 rom....can you provide me the link for the touchwiz file for wildfire...ill search for it too...
Good idea in not going for the official 2.2.1 update. It will atleast keep your options open for alternatives, even if CM7 doesn't suit you.
Anyway, here is Touchwiz for Wildfire.
