Hi all,
I would like to know if I can root my hero,It was originally on the 3 network but is now unlocked (I bought it like this and I am now using my o2 simplicity sim in it).
The Firmware is 1.5 and the software version is 1.0.0.A6288.
If it is possible do I use the unlockr method of doing it? And also what rom update would you guys recommend?
Many thanks
Tony.
Anyone???

When you say root do you mean so you can add other ROMs or do you mean so you can add/remove system files?
More information would be handy go to settings > about > software version and post
Firmware version, Baseband version, Kernel version, Build number, Software number and Browser version.
ok.
Firmware 1.5
Baseband version 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29
Kernal version 2.6.27-430d1aea
[email protected] #983
Build number 2.73.771.73 CL#94055 release-keys
Software version 1.0.0.A6288
I want to be able to install custom roms and add/remove system files etc.
Thanks.
There is my newbie guide in my sig or there is a "1 click method" being discussed in a topic in the dev forum which you might want to look at.

Well first of all your going to need a recovery ROM onto your hero to allow you to install custom ROMS. Some ROMS come with ROOT, Some Don't.
Because you have build 2.73.771.73 you will need to first install the flashrec application and then download a recovery ROM and use flashrec to load it onto your phone. The recovery ROM is the gateway to unlocking your device for maximum potential.

Thanks for your reply,I will try that.
Sorry,but if I do the above procedure using the MODACOPATCHEDRECOVERY 1.0 rom will this mean my hero is then rooted?
Thanks

I have no knowledge of this ROM, but what you can do is ask from where you got it from.

Hello I just purchased my hero yesterday and this one was deliveried with android 1.5...
I would like to update with the latest firmware wich I think is the 1.6 and software ?
Can you please explain me or redirect me to the right information...
Step by step would be nice...
thanks for your help
There is no "official" 1.6 (Donut) for Hero at present, and what is available unofficially is not functionally complete.
There are various 1.5 (Cupcake) ROMs kicking about all based on the 2.73 build. Search the Hero ROM development thread for more details.
Regards,
Dave

updating from htc directly depends on whether you have a branded version of the hero or not.
Best thing for you to do would first of all,
1) root your phone
2) install a custom rom based on the 2.7 update
search for ' how to root...' and then search for custom modaco roms.
basically all the tools u need would be just sdk , recovery image and the drivers for ur phone ( which is included when u installed the htc sync)
For me I don't have a branded phone, but how to be sure of it ?
is it necessary to install a custom version ? can't I install an original 2.7 update ?
thx

you can install the original 2.73
somehow, if you are not being able to uograde because of identification problems.... just root your phone, and go to modaco site. paul provided us with custom roms but as well as original roms ready to be applied through zip formats.

I'm thinking about rooting my hero, but not sure if it's worth it in my case. I'm happy with the level of access I have, so not interested in fiddling with the next layer of options etc that rooting allows.
The only reason I would do it is improved speed. Is it worth it from that point of view?
It's a HTC Hero from T-Mobile, although I bought it unlocked (using it with vodafone).
Some info:
Model number: T-Mobile G2 Touch
Firmware version: 1.5
(are any of the others relevant? software version? build number? baseband number? kernel version?)
Or would it be a better option to try to upgrade the software version through HTC or through T-Mobile?
Thanks.
Same here... I want to root my phone, is there a way to unroot it? I just want to uninstall nascar, etc. Don't wanna jack it up tho
you can unroot the phone, but you won't get any speed from rooting. if you want speed install modacos custom rom 2.9, it's android on crack
build number would be interesting to determine the difficulty to root your phone.

Actually yes when I said root I was thinking for the purposes of changing the rom.
My build number is 1.76.110.6 146733 CL#47214 release-keys
Are the following links applicable for rooting my device?

afaik with this build the easiest way is to just install the custom recovery image via fastboot, as it is still possible. this would be the method in the stickies over at modacos, which is pretty straigtforward. you can try it, either it works or it doesn't.
edit: the method described in the videos should work also. i think i had this rom on mine, i just installed the custom recovery and flashed mcr2.x.

First of all read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600
Then you need to unlock and root your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
Dont forget to flash the new CWM on your phone!

And last but not least, go find you favorite ROM.
There are plenty: Alien, CherryBlur, Ninja, etc...
Hope this helps!
I have the Bell Version like you arshiv. Only Think I can add is be carefull as some roms only support the AT&T version for now. I am running CherryBlur with Faux's OC Kernel Undervolted and it is very nice being Android 2.3.4.

The "only way" to hard brick is to do the ota update THEN use rsd to flash an earlier software version. so if you dont OTA you wont hard brick. So unlock your bootloader, install a custom recovery, then flash to your hearts content

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!!!!
