I have already OTA update my HTC Hero (GSM) yesterday from HTC and got my Official Android 2.1 update,can I still root them? If it can be done,is there a tutorial on how to root it?
You will have to downgrade your phone then upgrade it afain.
Or wait for a Froyo Rom...
is it possible to downgrade with goldcard?!?
i can't understand anything anymore...some say it isn't possible, some say it is...
i've tried to downgrade using goldcard and could not do it.
Some people could install the 1.5 RUU and downgrade with this. Try it.

with what? I don't see anything in your post !
I could downgrade from official 2.1 to 1.5 with a goldcard. Afterwards I rooted my Hero and flashed it with a 2.1 custom rom.
Cheers, Otze
give us some more details, like which rom you had and which one you installed.
Important... DID YOU USE RUU files? or FOTA ?
and what was your goldcard creation method.
tks
will there be a way to root this official 2.1 firmware in the near future?

thats a good question, i would like to know that too.. however flasrec and fastboot do not work anymore
I think there will be a way to root the official android 2.1 on the GSM Hero in the near future cause CDMA Hero also received the official android 2.1 and it also can't be rooted at the begining but now it can...

sorry for double posting,I just want to ask,how do u flash the second update.zip?
Edit:btw,I did some research and found out that it needs custom recovery to flash this,but in order to do that u need to backup custom recovery (which won't work on the official android 2.1 update from HTC) and then flash the custom recovery,so how did u flash the second update.zip?
urm...anyone?

Have you tried downgrading to 1.5 with a goldcard and flashboot? Worked for me on the India OTA update to 2.1.

Good luck

maybe I'll wait for the hackers to root the official 2.1...
Anyone want to try http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=110&t=2096 to see if they can root from the 2.1 RUU?

Yes, there are 3 ways
1. Softwate/OTA update from HTC (Officially)
2. S-OFF your Desire X and use a modified P66IMG.zip to manually flash hboot update.
3. Use an RUU for Hboot update (if available)
Regards
Yasir
As far as i know option two (S-OFF) isn't possible for Desire X as of yet, and option three (a JB RUU) hasen't been released.
So we're just left with option one. Do i miss something?

You can only update hboot via OTA update, and for that, you need stock Rom, like it was before rooting, and stock recovery. Then you'll get the hboot update to 1.24 and then 1.25 hopefully.

is anyone besides V6 maniac working on the s-off ? I woulda thought s-off would be one of the first few things people would of worked on after disabling write protection and rooting the phone or am I wrong ?

s-off involves high risk of bricking the device thats why devs stay from it and its very hard to attain s-off as it requires lot of hardware knowledge.. leavin aside some fancy mods, we can still do alot of development without s-off
S-OFF
ohok didnt realise it was that hard to do also when a device is bricked due to this does that mean using a JTAG recovery thing, (I saw one of the guys in the elegancia rom post meantion this) would not recover a bricked phone ?

jtag should allways be able to recover any bricked device (thats kinda point of using it)
oohk just got the idea that it didnt always work although the JTAG thing I was looking at did several things like S-OFF supercid etc

You're not stupid, just not reading much.
Yes, you need a stock ROM with everything intact (not even a single file is missing).

@ckpv5.
I recently tried an experiment. My bro Huawei phone got ota but as he had modified system apps, the ota failed. His ota also had firmware and hboot update (89mb)
I opened the ota zip, in updater script removed all assert checks, and then flashed ota, and it completed, even his firmware and hboot got updated. Have we ever tried fooling HTC stock recovery ?

It was not working for One X ... so I believe the same for DX ... the write protection thingy.
I have a rooted Desire X with CW recovery and today I got a notification that 4.1 is available for install. Are there any problems when updating while having a rooted device? Will my root privileges stay? I heard that some devices cannot be rooted after an official update so I just want to be sure.
Apart for not being able to update officialy with rooted device, no

Even if its just the stock rom with root privileges? And if you can't root after JB.. how do you root at all?
for update you need stock everything, I am sure jb can be rooted as easily as ics
i think no
I think you need only to relock bootloader if you are on stock...and rooting jb is easy and there is a guide somewhere in the forum

u need to relock bootloader and put back stock recovery bec i think on CW recovery u will not be able to update.as about root i think it will go as whole rom is going to be new but cannot tell u how to root JB as i have not done it yet,may be on forum there is way
I have ICS hboot with TWRP for ICS in my Desire X. Whenever I try to install any JB ROM it doesn't boot up, just shows a black screen. What should I do? If you are saying me to S-OFF, I already tried to do that(with RUMRUNNER) but it betrayed me finally saying to try with a new kernel or a new ROM. Why there is so much complication? I just want to install a JB ROM. Can anyone help me with this? Will be thankful

As far as I know (I may be wrong) you have an flash an ruu. Then update to jellybean. After that you'll have to unlock the boot loader again and then you can flash jellybean roms.

1. you're not on hboot 1.15, but 1.25
2. use a recovery for JELLYBEAN, not ics. (twrp, you'll find it in "android original development")

Sorry for no reply. Working on unbricking someone's phone. You need to install Att latest firmware. R you on pure stock now? If so don't worry bout if firmware has boot.img ....firmware might have stock recovery.img which will replace twrp if that Dev don't remove recovery like I do from my firmware. So just flash firmware with fastboot an download a new twrp that is for your device then fastboot that an then pick a Att ROM you want an you should be able to flash it. Try that let me know. Any questions let me know. MAKE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP before you wipe phone in twrp an try an flash ROM.

To flash newer builds,newer firmware is required. This is stated in the O.P of most threads for ROM's.
