One click root, z4root also cannot , when the latest rooting software coming?? T.T
Wrong forum and it has been asked a milion times already. You have to downgrade to 2.2 first because 2.2.1 is not exploitable ergo not rootable yet. Then you can use whatever method you prefer.

I have survived a long time on stock 1.5 rom. Have been waiting a long time for 2.1 rom. Now that it is finally coming to me, I am starting to consider if I should just root and install all the other roms out there now, just in case stock 2.1 cannot be rooted....
any comments ?
I am using a singapore hero ..
2.1 cannot currently be rooted, do not flash it if you want to root.
Thread moved.
just root and install a 2.1 rom, theyr exactly the same but with a root features
yeah i was also gonna ask the same question .. it was running whole time on my mind ..
Currently i am on official 1.5 firmware , i am waiting for 2.1 update also i didn't root my phone yet but planning to what if i install official 2.1 update ? later i can not root Hero ? & can't install or flash any Custom ROM ?
Or root now & install Custom ROM ?
would just say you can not root after you upgrade to offical 2.1 from HTCs site or OTA or RRU file...
while you are on 1.5 root!
once you have a custom recovery you can flash a update.zip file that contains 2.1 offical upgrade minus the SPL upgrade and recovery and radio..
it would be just silly for anyone to install the offical update direct from htc. there have been so many threats about this...
hope this helps though
Hi,
I recently received my phone back from HTC repair. It's an unbranded hero, the software on it is :
Firmware v : 2.1-update1
Baseband 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11
Software : 3.32.405.1
It wants me to download the following OTA update: "system upgrade 3.32.405.2 (5.87mb)"
I had no problems rooting the phone the long way from 1.5 when I first got it, but after I sent it back to htc the first time (unresponsive lower touchscreen) I tried to use the oneclick root method unsuccessfuly (it said root successful but it said permission denied when I typed "su" etc), and then the phone became essentially bricked when I allowed it to dl the OTA update. I don't want to make the same mistake again!
Which root method would you guys recommend I use this time?
Many thanks!
1click root mate it works on all versions of the hero
You can also follow this guide to root it manually.
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/s...o-Root-The-2.1-RUU-or-OTA-Update-For-The-Hero
I think I'd prefer to do something other than the 1 click root after what happened last time!
The villain method says its for 2.1 ROM RUU - is this what they will have used at the repair centre? Does it tie in with the sotware version I posted in the OP? Or should I use an RUU and then follow the method to be sure?
I've been without my phone for 7 weeks now, just don't want to mess it up again! But equally I dont want to be stuck on an unrooted phone
I believe Unrevoked works very well for extremely easy Hero rooting? Not used it myself but heard good things.
Moved to Q&A as not development
Im in the same boat as you. when my phone was returned it was
Firmware v : 2.1-update1
Baseband 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11
Software : 3.32.405.2
Looking to root now. Cant decide on a rom or a method. Any other suggestions?

This root method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726118) is the one I prefer (yes, I posted it, but it seems to be easiest method if you have ADB set up, or follow the guide to enable it)
Rooted as per pulser's guide, all is good
FYI iknorr I DID NOT install the OTA update I mentioned in my OP
Many many thanks to pulser, the rest of the villain guys for the roms, and to btdag for his guide on taming adb on windows 7
thanks for the suggestion & info...
Ill give it a go tommorrow i think. Ill post an update.

I used pulsers method dude and its been cool since. It might take 3-4 times to take so make sure your chosen Rom is on SD ready first.

Hi, apologies if this has been covered but i couldn't find anything specific on this.
I got the ICS 4.0.3 upgrade yesterday for my S2, but my root access seems to have disappeared (upgrade was the official Voda UK upgrade via Kies). I originally followed the instructions on this forum to root the phone a few months ago. Titanium backup has stopped working
Presumably I need to re-root? If so, should I follow the identical instructions which I used for rooting my 2.3.5 version?
Cheers
Wat lp version is it? Just install cf root kernel and u should be fine. Or speed mod. Up to you.
Yes the same instructions, just make sure you root using a cf-root kernel for ICS
Hi. I have problem with my SE becouse i update my phone to v62. I cant root becouse is not possible on this soft version. I cant unlock bootloader cuz bootAllowed=no . I can install fresh ROM via flashtool? When no what i must do? Please help. (Sorry for my english).
You can only install a fresh stock .58 rom via flashtool or wotanserver then root it then update it .62 (now with root) then install clockworkmod recovery. You then have to pay to unlock your bootloader. You can't install custom full roms and custom kernels w/out unlocking bootloader.

Hello, I used this thread as a guideline to root my phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
Basically I had to downgrade the firmware to .42 with the ftf file on that thread flashing it with flashtool (link for flashtool also provided in that thread), use zergrush to gain root access and install both busybox and Superuser.apk (it's fixed in .62 so you can no longer gain root with zergrush) and then update the phone using OTA back to .62. Updating to .62 does not make you lose root access. All you need should be in that thread.
If you want to unlock the bootloader to install custom roms and kernel I can't point you to a method that works for sure since I have no intention of unlocking mine as I am quite happy with the stock rom but there are plenty of threads on this forum about it.
Hope this helps!

Unfortunately according to the guide it won't work with Android Version 4.0.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28944567&postcount=18
I have tried Kingroot but no luck... Is there another possible way to do this or perhaps downgrade my 4.0.4 to 2.3.5?
