HI everyone,
I know that this thread has been read and discussed probably many many times. But i know that the phone i have i probably the toughest one to root. I've searched a lot of sites ( unlockers, wiki android, xda and many more) for answers and i have to admit that i've tried only one, the one with goldcard(my rooting process stopped when i tried to flash the recovery and it said that there was sort of a mistake, i don't remember what exactly. I'm not saying that i haven't tried all of the possibilities to root my phone but i'm just asking all of You forum users to help me choose the right one so i won't worry to damage my phone somehow.
Looking forwards to hearing frm You people.
p.s.
I know that user: kad3t had the same problem and he somehow managed to root his phone, i've written him a message but he isn't answering so that is why i'm asking You.
This is the guide I followed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253
I'm rooted and my phone is still alive
PS -- these types of threads belong in either the General or Q&A sections
Thank You very much. And for the future i'll post that kind of threads in the right forum sections
cheers mate
Thread moved to Q&A.

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!!

but i just wanted to be sure before i root things etc (hehe) that i wont kill it..

thanks for the answer!
Hi there,
I'm rather new (so sorry if these are dumb questions) to all this flashing / rooting / de branding and had a few questions about it..
Well i bought the x10 on mobile network 3 (three uk) and tbh they are ****. First phone i had i debranded using the SEUS copy file method over, but since then i have had them replace the phone. i tried the same method but as SE have updated SEUS i can't get it to work... :|
So looking around i started reading up on rooting.
Firstly if i follow this guide forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907 will that debrand the phone to the generic firmware?
If that is the case will i then be able to get future updates through SEUS or not?
If i rooted the phone, would there be anyway to go back to the so called unrooted version?
And lastly, what are the other pro's and con's of rooting?
Thanks, and sorry if these are silly questions!

Hi.
They aren't silly if you don't know the answer, but considering a search of the forum and browse of the guide (which you could have posted this question on) would have given you the answers it's an annoying post.
Read the rules and browse THIS section.
i had been researching the topic for 2 days before i posted here, i understand the majority of it just not the questions posted above.
i followed the link you posted but it did not answer my main question
will that debrand the phone to the generic firmware?
If that is the case will i then be able to get future updates through SEUS or not?

After searching google with can I run seus after rooting, I found this thread - [Q] Questions about rooting my X10i
Total time, 30 seconds.
thankyou
sorry, just seen so many posts about it didn't know what to properly search for
pardon my ignorance
No worries, but it is frustrating to see new threads asking questions that have been answered a million times already. In future just post on an existing thread instead of starting new ones.
To answer one of your other questions - What is rooting and why should I do it?
yes i can understand that entirely being a member of other forums myself.
In future Existing Posts it is!
Thanks for that link as well, definatly explains things in more detail!

Hi there, please accept my apologies if this topic has been posted (many times) before, but I am having trouble wading through the excellently huge amount of info on XDA-Dev, and am finding myself more confused than informed by the time I have gone through one or two threads Roms.
So, may I ask some very simple questions about what is a Rom, what it does, what information will be specifically interesting for me, what 'Flashing' does, a simple step-by-step ABC of how to 'upgrade' my HTC HD2 with a new ROM to make it work better, and what you may need from me in order to be able to focus my query in the right direction.
Again, apologies if this is a much hacked subject, as I'm certain on such a forum, with the very knowledgable and creative developers it has, you have been approach more than once on this very subject.
Any help is most apprecited.
Oops. Just saw the Sticky for the HTC Q&A forum.
Could you please move this to there? Thanks!
Hey Sir,
What type of HD2 do you have? If you are from the US and have a US T-Mobile phone then read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
If you have UK version of the phone please read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
Any other questions can be answered by reading this thread:

I come from the HTC Desire and everything is new to me. I wonder a method effectively and without problems of brick, to root my Samsung.
I've read several times CWM, what you mean EX. "...CWM via stock recovery...".
What's the problem of making the brick making factory reset, I have to install anything, it is that I wanted to install CyanogemMod 10.
Thanks.

Well I cant speak for the Desire forum but in this one we expect users to use proper descriptive titles and not silly completely generic ones like "help please". We also expect users to look and read before creating topics, These questions have obviously already been asked and answered or covered in sticky topics or guides.
OP, Please search for your answers. All you are asking can be found by searching. If you are expecting people to spoon feed you then you must get a heavy flame suit on because around here people do not like users that do not take the initiative to do research and learn the answers to the most common questions on their own.. they expect people to spoon feed them. Do like the rest of us more knowledgeable guys did.. read, then read some more.. use google.. read... read.. read.. Asking questions to stuff where these is already tons of info on isn't going to make you liked around here..

1) the brick bug is only there on stock 4.0.4 firmware kernel for u so on JB ur safe for now
2) u can root ur phone without installing a custom firmware for sure
3) of course rooting will always have an elemantary risk for sure, but u have to see to it that, why do i require a root in the first place
No (Ask a ridiculous question, get a ridiculous answer).
You really need to learn 'the basics' before you do anything to your phone or you will break it. Read the threads stickied at the top of Q&A, and also read the threads linked in the Stickies thread third post from the top in General.
The questions you've asked have been asked/answered here thousands of times over the past two years, and the answers are in those threads. If anyone serves you up simple answers without you understanding what you're doing, you're going to end up with an expensive plastic paperweight like countless people before you.
Thanks for your answers.

But MistahBungle , i wasn't planning to root my phone right now. And i know i am not ready yet. Those are questions that popped into my mind when i began to read some documentation on rooting and custom firmwares yesterday and i didn't find any answers to those. Sorry if i bothered you.
Anyway thanks again for your help.
