I am trying to root my HTC Hero(Orange uk) but i keep running into a problem, im trying to copy the new recovery ROM to the phone but it keeps telling me that remote access isnt allowed. Also i can't use the flash rec method.
I previously had a rooted and custom ROM on here but removed it as some things didnt work then upgraded to the latest official HTC ROM (2.73.xx) and now i can't mdoify the recovery image.
sorry if i have been a bit vauge with my message but does anyone know how to overcome these problems?
Cheers

if you flashed the latest RUU update you need to create a goldcard and downgrade. using RUUs is generally the last option if you can't get your phone to work, because if you install the latest version you don't have any security holes that you could use. luckily there is the goldcard method, although it is a PITA (never did it, just read about it...)
not sure how this worked but i reinstalled the latest RUU and then installed flash rec and it worked
would be interesting to know what you did (with version numbers), so that question would be answered...
not gonna try though, don't want to get stuck with a generic rom
I got the OTA update to my phone just now, but the install failed and aborted because I have Amon’s Recovery installed. How to I get rid of this so the OTA can install?
I was running the rooted 2.1, but I downgraded back to 1.5, but step three of that whole process never worked for me. I’m on a mac, so I don’t know if the steps for that are different or not. Either way, PLEASE HELP! I’ve been waiting for this freaking thing forEVER and I HAVE to get it to work finally!
Downloading right now update for xperia mini, I was not aware it was going to be released today, hope its goods anyways, keep you posted when it finishes
Heh really what version would this be? Hows the progress?
Sent using x10 mini pro
50% this are the times I wish I had a 2gigabit connection :/
done
Software version: 2.1-update1
dont know whats new, no intro as past update was shown on startup...
ahh.. phone unrooted, z4root not working stuck on running exploit screen.
How did you update?
Through wireless or through cable with a pc software like the pc companion?
Did the phone tell about the update when you searched for update?
Please I need to know!
pc companion... software on pc alerted of the update when I conected the phone, tried to search for an update from the phone but it told me it was up to date.
got to see about the availability of an update when I connected my mini to my PC and the PC Companion opened up.Went for the update that took such a long time to complete.I see virtually nothing new or beneficial in the few hours gone by.Oh-I lost the ability to root the phone,Z4 doesn't work anymore.
Didn't find any update not even with pc companion
:-/
same here .. there was no prompt when i plugged in the mini pro.
when i opened PC Companion, it says that I already up the latest update.
I'm usually pretty quick on the updates but this one looks like one to avoid until we can sort out the root issue..
I noticed they already have a solution for the Big X10 by installing a pre Rooted version of the update with xRecovery.. any solution like this available for the mini/pro yet?
All in good time I guess.. someone is probably making a Pre rooted, pre JIT'ed pre Gingerbread themed xRecovery zip file with the new firmware as I type this
fingers crossed..
I'm sorry....
Your stock album is now fast?
Because the first 2.1 stock album is very slow.....
I think that you can't extract for us... But....
Me too updated my mini and now unable to root. How to get back to previous one?
I could be mistaken, but i think x10flasher root method still works.
Downloaded 2.1-update1 (as it says on my phone) on the 24th, almost certain its the unrootable version u guys seem to be talking about, as z4root which worked for my 1.6, couldnt unroot this version(i also thought it was root patched)
Long story short, was messing around with it, tried the X10flasher 2.1 root method, hey presto rooted phone. So give it a shot, wont hurt, and if im right, still a viable root method for 2.1.

If im wrong, sorry for bringing hopes up.

It just looks like the Big X10flash GUI's "Root" option just installs Z4root onto the phone in which case it should be no different from just trying to use Z4root to root without the Flashtool... unless Bin4ry just has a different version of Z4root that works on the new firmware? (easy enough for someone having issues rooting with the new update to download his Flash tool and grab the Z4root version he uses out of it to try.. I don't hold high hopes tho, you can always use his flashtool to flash back to the old 2.1 and not update with SE until the root issue is sorted)
(also, I haven't updated my phone in weeks and it say's its running "2.1-update 1" so its possible you are still on the older rootable version, and it was just the version of Z4root you were using wasn't compatible with 2.1, lest hope I am wrong tho cause it would be great if this works!! )
Got the update. It killed my root and apparently my market? Any attempts to start Market crash immediately.
The new 2.1 update 1 is ver. 2.0.2.A.0.24
This is the one i got 24dec. in denmark, and this one wont root with z4root.
Still waithing for this to be fixed
is there any way to root it again?
I've tried everything but couldn't get my tablet to root. My device was found by adb but kept getting permission denied. I spent 10 hours now trying to root it. I've uninstall, reinstall, any method you can find on the web and still couldn't get it to run. I'm running 3.2 build 10 #1. Please help....

Is it really version 3.2 on your Tab? I heard from an user from Italy with the same combination of FW and kernel. The solution was to update of the latest version 3.2.1R2. He got a lower kernel build (<9) and was able to root his phone afterwards. You can try the same .. and you lose nothing ...
From my personal point of view it makes sense to update to the latest FW version, independent of root problem .
Hey, I'm rooted and s-off, running (firmware, I think) 2.06.605.1 710RD. I've been ignoring the software update Verizon sent out a while ago by pressing the home button on my phone whenever the update popup appears, but I'd like to make it go away for good, and the best way to do that is to update.
The thing is, I'd like to do it without the hassle of unrooting and going back to s-on (if I even need to do that) to update, then getting s-off and root again. I heard it's possible if you flash a pre-rooted ROM of the update through a custom recovery, and I found a pre-rooted, updated rom a while ago on the forum, but now I can't find it. The update is called HTC6435LVW_2.07.605.1-2.06.605.1.
First of all, will this work?
Secondly, I'm going to keep searching for the 2.07 rom, but can anyone let me know if they have a link to the thread?
Thanks for your help.
Edit 2: To all who saw my first edit, I have confirmed that this is the TTY update, not the 4.2.2 update. However, I think the 4.2.2 update will be available after I flash the 2.07 update, so please let me know if flashing a pre-rooted rom still works for entire OS updates (and if there even is a pre-rooted rom for 4.2.2 yet).
Edit 3: Wow, I should have finished reading xda's article on the subject before I edited last time. Apparently there's already a pre-rooted rom for the 4.2.2 update, so that won't be a problem. Ok, that should be all.
