hi
now iam using modaco custom rom 3.1
can i upgrade my hero to 2.1 which is gonna release on april?
Are there any steps to do that or just download that file from htc site and run it?
I think that should work fine, but it will not be rooted anymore i guess?
from what i gather you'll irreversibly lose your root access if you upgrade to the official one. Something about improved security. Wait a bit and the rooted version of the stock rom would pop up somewhere.
do i need to create any goldcard to upgrade?
or goldcard process is only used to downgrade from custom rom to 1.6 official version?

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.

Hello,
My nam's Mike and come from Belgium
After a couple of hour I only found some tools to root Hero on 2.1 without the update1
Is anyone could tell me how to root my Hero 2.1 update1 ???
I would try CyanogenMod on it and I can't install it actually
His build number is : 3.32.405.2 CL191507
Kernel Version : 2.6.29-063c4d24 htc-kernel and18-2 #1
Thanks to anyone can help me,
Mike
Hi Mike , you can learn everything from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253
Thanks you for this link but I allready try to root it with Universal Androot but it doesn't work correctly on my Hero.
It works on 2.1 but not on 2.1 update1.
I don't knwo what's the best and easier method to root to put a custom rom.
Thanks
Maybe, don't know if this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622228 will still work..
OR
anyone can tell me too if this would work but install an RUU of 1.5 cupcake through HTC Sync and root it from there
with the previously mentionned link.. (you can reinstall 2.1 rom from your recovery then..)
Just some idea's..
Dear Moderators/Members.
I am having LG G2X rooted with Super One Click. How can I upgrade to 2.3 Gingerbread. I tried to manually update from LG’s Mobile Support site but failed. I think the reason is my phone is rooted not original, right?
Thanks. Any help is appreciated!
