Hi guys.
So recently i got my very first touch phone.
I've had a sony ericsson w800i for like 6-7 years now.
So i'm really all new to the entire touchmobile scene and stuff.
Rooting sounds interesting, but i have no idea if i can even do it on my mobile, let alone do it without bricking the phone.
Now i got a lot of questions and rooting does sound interesting.
But i was still hoping people here could maybe guide a new guy in the right direction?
I've read this article : Erhm, can't post links yet it seems. But it was the link to a wiki article about why one should root his phone.
and it sounds very good.
My phone model is: HTC Hero
Firmware: 1.50
Basebandversion: 63.18.55.06EU:6.35.06.18
Kernal system: 2.6.27-8dd6deee
Version: 2.73.405.6 CL#61267 release-keys
softwareversion: 1.0.0.A6288
Can i root my phone?
I'm not bound to any telemarketing company or anything. The phone itself is not from vodafone or anything of likes.
And also, if i do decide to root my phone, would i be able to install the 2.1 sense update thats scheduled for the htc hero something in april(hopefully)?
Best regards
Kuresu
Im also new here, been reading up on Android for a while though.
What i can say for sure is, YES, you can definately root your Hero. There are are number of different guides on here.
And secondly, rooting shouldn't affect you being able to get the 2.1 update once it is available, infact, if you root, youe can try 2.1 roms NOW.
A good place to start is the "XDA-Wiki", there is a link on the brown bar near the top of the page. Once you have clicked that link, on the new page it brings up, go about half way down the page to the HTC section, click "HERO". On that page, under "rooting" there is a link called "Method 1 - Dayzee's NEWBIE Walkthrough guide". That should be all the info you need. I have not done it myself yet, my new Hero should be delivered tomorrow.
Good luck!
Thanks a bunch Ddot.
Have you gotten your phone yet?
Did you root yours?
Theunlockr.com is a great source for rooting etc (newbies are often pointed to that site)

Yep yep yep,... It was delivered last Friday,... I haven't put it down since!!!
Yeah I rooted mine,... Followed this guide,... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253 ...Then installed the latest Modaco Custom ROM.
I decided not to play with the 2.1 ROMs as there were a few bugs reported.
The Modaco ROM is excellent, no complaints about the phone whatsoever. Now patiently waiting for an official 2.1 ROM.
If there's anything else you need to know, ask away, I've learnt a lot this past week, and if I cant help, there are plenty of others ready , willing and able.
P.S,... Apologies for the late reply, I didn't subscribe to the thread so wasn't notified of replies. I'll do it now though.
Peace
This is my first post here, I've been trying to learn more about the android OS, and have been using this forum for about 2 months, this is my first post.
This question has to have been answered somewhere already, but I have not found it, and I sweared I have spent alot of time looking (its possible because I'm just unfamiliar with the lingo I missed it)
I updated my eris with 2.1 OTA leak (I believe what its being called). Is there any way for me to now go to a rooted rom, or downgrade and then get root?
Again, apologies for this question, but I've given up on trying to figure this out for myself...
I'm in the same boat you are, no , there is no way to get rooted atm.
If you installed the leak, there is no way for you to root at the moment.
i've got a g1, which i love but i don't have tmobile service, instead verizon... plan to get a droid eris.
anyways i've done some research and read the faq's...
faq's say you can only achieve root if you have android 1.5 on your phone still and not 2.1
however... i've found it on other places it doesn't matter if you have 1.5 or 2.1 (if it's official), but that it matters on which version of HBOOT. anything below 1.49 is fine. am i correct in thinking this, or can someone explain what i need to look for in buying a phone. if i am correct, can someone please update the faq's. very confusing.
i appreciate it. i've been lurking this forum for awhile, but just decided to register.
I have an HTC Sensation XE that has been working fine until I upgraded it to 4.0.3
Since then it mounts the miniSD card as Read Only and many of my programs do not work and I get the response to that no SDcard is inserted
I have also los connection to my Microsoft Exchange, thus not being able to receive any emails on my phone
Can anyone help in how I could downgrade to a version previous than 4.0.3
I have the same problem, I've had a bit of a google and it seems the only way is to do something called 'root' your phone. Which is just like getting a higher password so you can have more control over your phone.
Before you can do this though you must first 'S-off' your phone, which disables some of the security measures your phone has to stop you removing proprietary software or messing with things you shouldn't. To do this you should go here: [edit] won't let me post link so search revolutionary'dot'io
Apparently for these purposes the Sensation and the Sensation XE are the same thing.
This is the nearest tutorial I could find: [edit] youtube /watch?v=kvg0i8in96M
Unfortunately it won't work for me as my hboot number isn't in the drop down box for Sensation on the revolutionary website.
It looks like my only remaining option is this.. [edit] search 'juopunutbear' which frankly I don't feel happy doing.
There are more steps to carry out which I haven't listed here as I've not investigated them too much as I got stuck on the hboot thing, also I'm a massive n00b at all this, so if there is any1 else out there that could point us in the right direction I would be hugely grateful.
hello guys.
i have the same damn problem with the Android 4 ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich). not really sure if i cant check my email or things like that cuz i never tried cuz my problem is bigger even, my wifi is not working. it doesn't says any error but it cant find any network. well the story started same as you. i hit on download the update or upgrade don't remember the expression. and boom... plenty of problems and dislikes.
To be honest cuz i dont like doing stuff before i knw all abt it i spent a week to read and read and read XDA and any other blogs (FYI, XDA is the best place to be) I read from the guides and everyone comments and every error checking and anything. yesterday i start my journey... and im here to share all my experience with you.
before i say anything i wanna tell you im not really sure exactly how to exactly downgrade as im still studding and investigating that why i cant flash the GB (Gingerbread) ROM. But I can 99% guide to to the steps you must take before doing that.
those steps are simply to Unlock + S-Off + Root + flashing any recovery.img + flashing any boot.img + flashing any ICS ROM....
i can even tell you how to unlock your phone to use any simcard.
these steps arent difficult with a good guide and good follower but not that easy... there are still perhaps 10000000000 of things not only me, either the most experience XDA (engineers, developer and so on) users have not experience yet.
soon im sure i will be able to guide you and any one to how to exactly downgrade from ICS to GB if there is any possible why...as i said before im still looking to find an answer and gonna keep my eyes on it. the good thing is im not afraid of trying and doing anything with my phone.
by the way im using HTC Sensation
hboot 1.27.0000 (one of the worst to do any kinds of treatment)
If you need any of that help dont hesitate to post here or pm me.

hi
im sorry to be straight, nothing personal buddy... its just about giving true and pure info.
YOU CAN DOWNGRADE. I DID.
on my previous post i said i didn't but i also mentioned im looking forward to do it and so here i am, I DID DOWNGRADE.
and where have you read this... who said u cant?
you know why cuz read a lot and a lot during my downgrade process and i have never seen or read such post that if your boot-loader is unlocked and you are truly s-off(ed), you cant.
if you have said this just based on ur experience and ur very own knowledge then i should say drop me a line and ill kindly show u the way to do it. And if you have said this because you have read it anywhere in XDA or else where, kindly provide a link to the post please, so i can discuss the issue there as well as here.
have fun messing with ur device guys

Hi everyone,
I'm a complete noob when it comes to this stuff. Recently, my phone has been running really slow, and I remembered people saying that rooting and flashing custom roms will help increase the efficiency of the phone. I've been looking through tons of threads and countless google searches trying to find a tested and working method for BL unlock and root for a stock MB860 on Android 2.3.6 -- 4.5.145. Yet I haven't found anything. Can I get some suggestions/help? Thanks.
PS - I plan on getting the SGS4, but till I see some actual benchmarks/comparisons between the two chipsets that they phone is shipping with, I'll have to rely on my Atrix 4G. And right now, as I said earlier in the post, it's acting extremely sluggish in every sense of the word.
-Pat

Wow thanks. Everyone posting on there says it's real easy to use. Unfortunately no one has system version 4.5.145 like I do. I'm not sure how important that actually is but I have read that version does matter. But it is nice to see people have used it successfully used it with 2.3.6. I posted on that thread and am waiting for a response. Thanks again.
