There is no need for jailbreaking a hero. Just follow the guides available to root it. If you can't follow a guide to root, use univeral androot, although you'll still need to understand what you're doing.
There isn't a one-click root, and it's not really in the spirit of xda. Read about custom ROMs, read about rooting, and get flashing...

From what I can see, the source for the Nexus should work, as it uses the same USB implementation, see here: https://spreadsheets.google.com/lv?key=tarAC83Wjsq2QZvP4iR5mlw&toomany=true#gid=0

I think it just needs compiling against a particular kernel against the Hero.

yup someone needs to do that for us asap
I had not seen Pulser missing a beat before
Well, it seems that we need a kernel 2.6.3x to make this work (check in psfreedom.com), since the bundled 2.6.2x uses the MSM_HSUSB driver instead of the MSM72K.
Does anyone know where to grab a kernel like that?
Sorry for sounding stupid, but what is this? lol
There's no such kernel right now. Devs are working on a .34 kernel, but I believe it's still far from complete.

its basically like rooting a ps3 means you can play 'backed up' games and such
i have tried bringing this up on the villain irc channel but all i got was abuse lol so gave up, and this is not the first time so no more donation to them guys from me and no more using there roms.

But, as someone suggested, could it be used as a recovery image with the compiled PSFreedom module?
cant we just port the img made for desire to hero ??
No, we can't, because what we need, the kernel, cannot be ported that way. What devs are trying right now is to port HTC Magic (Sapphire) .34 kernel.
Im so confused!
whats up with this spreadsheet, stating a Hero port is complete?
apperently i can't post links yet. But anyone know what im talkning about?
i read before, but what is the point?
I saw the answer, and yes it makes sense (i know alot about the ps3/psp scene since psp's release). But it doesnt strictly do anything unique at all on android phones does it?
I mean rooting does exactly the same, and the psjailbreak has no different/new features designed for android (i know it shouldnt, but...).
However, it is certainly nice to see a new kind of exploit available. (i remember the wonder of the gta exploit on psp all those years ago caused cries of delight and dark_alex to become a god, those who remember)
there is too type of htc hero some have the correct usb type some dont
I guess the best solution will be to port the exploit to the 2.6.2x kernel (seems more feasible than waiting to have a working 2.6.3x kernel).
Its updated!
hxxp://psfreedom.com/wiki/index.php?title=Device_compatibility_list
Now requires: 2.6.29 or higher Kernel
We should ask rom makers to help us out
On other note is someone trying to make it work for HTC hero

Hello All!
I have posted a thread a while ago about my htc amaze having so many issues after rooting and installing ROMs.
Luckly, I was able to return my phone and get it exchanged as I only had it for 1 week... so I got saved!
Now, with my new one, I still want it to be able to read Arabic correctly!
Rooting the device isn't the issue, I think I did it the first time with no problems (except for installing the ROM)
It seems like because I'm with "Wind Mobile" I can't flash the device, and I can't even get ICS when it becomes available.... I guess Wind customers are out of luck! (at least that's what I have been reading online)
I'm very new to Android world, and I like the phone the way it is except for supporting languages.
So I don't care if it's rooted or not, and all of these cool stuff. I just want Arabic!
My questions are:
1- Can I root my device, and add a patch without adding custom ROMs as I don't want to reck my phone again
So I want to keep the current ROM. "stock". and still add the patch. is this doable?
2- Regarding ICS. When the update comes out, will it be to specific cell phone carriers? I mean if you are with T-mobile -for example- you're good, and if not too bad?
does it depend on which company you are with, or just which phone you have?
I think that's it for today, lol... I'll wait for your answers
Thanks in advance!
well, the easiest way to get root is to flash a custom rom,
if you have the device rooted with stock, you could just flash the patch
if there is an ICS rom, you should be able to flash it

Thank you EclipzeRemix for replying!
Actually that is very promising, you gave me hope, and your reply is very encouraging!!!
So basically when the ROM (the offical one) comes out then I can flash it regardless of which company I'm with right?
just making sure I got it right lol

Hi,
i searched everywhere couldn't find anything about the AT&T verison of HTC One X+ and CM10
Is there a way to root the ATT version and install CM10 on it???
Read only about the international version yet. Don't want to brick my new phone.
Thanks.
Nope, there's still a bit of a wait on CM10/ASOP for AT&T/TELUS users. When a usable version is ready, it'll probably be here with [AT&T/TELUS] in the title.
damm was so hoping to change my devices from s3 to htc thanks mate.
Currently using the cm10.1 for s3 expermintal. i think when nightly last night.

So, the experimital CM10.1 is running on your HTC One X+. I have the same phone and I have unlocked it from HTC's web site. I'm a noob and don't know a lot about this stuff. Still learning. Should I try any mod or wait? I really want to get the AT&T crud off of my phone. Like I said, my phone is unlocked now.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
There are several non experimental roms you can install already just to get rid of the at&t stuff. Also you could root it and use titanium backup or root uninstaller or something to just get rid of unneeded stuff. If it were me, I would not DARE try anything experimental with my new phone, especially something cm10 related because pretty much all the devs have said there is nothing ready yet on that avenue.

OK, I'm new here and I really thank you all for any advise. I will read on and try to find some of these existing ROM's. This is probably a REALLY big noob question. If my phone is unlocked, does that mean it is rooted?
BTW, I also thank you for the advise on not using any experimental roms. I won't touch unless I know for sure. This new phone is a gem and I don't want to screw it up.
cbendau said:

No!
Unlock is unlock and root is root
Indeed. You have unlocked the bootloader which is step 1. Now you need to root which is step 2. There is an all in one tool in the android development forum you can use to root. That might be the easiest way to go. Once you are rooted you can get root uninstaller for free from the play store or titanium backup. Titanium is probably better choice there. You could also flash a rom through recovery that is already rooted but most of those require you flash the kernel seperatly so if you are.very new i probably wouldnt do that just yet. Read up on the process first. Hope that helps.

HTC One X+ unlock vs root

Click to expand...

Thanks! My problem is this..... I used the HTC step by step from http://onexroot.com/one-x-root/how-to-root-one-x/
I got through the step where the instructions say to Mark - Right Click Copy - Paste into the HTCDev.com website
I then followed the instructions on through until the phone was unlocked.
At step 39 the instructions say to -
Reboot your phone into Fastboot mode and type the following in command prompt:and
type and execute at the cmd prompt -
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img
OK, I finished these steps and am now stuck at step 40.
I then copied the CWN-SuperSU-v.0.87.zip file to the root of my phone storage
The phone won't boot in to recovery at all
What is the CWN-SuperSU-v.0.87.zip file for and do I need to complete the step by rebooting using it in recovery mode? It will not boot in to recovery anyway.
So my phone was wiped and unlocked but back to the original AT&T build and I don't understand where I pick up in the process.
This is the point where I get confused. I research and read everywhere too. I know my phone is unlocked for sure. It's not bricked yet. :fingers-crossed:
I don't know where I pick back up with the process using some of the recommendations you guys have given me.

I searched and multiple times at that but i couldn't find an existing link that worked. I am looking for the stock RUU for the current At&t ROM for the HTC ONE X+ at&t version. The EvitareUL

Check out the FAQ at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179337 as it has Q23 and Q24 for ROMs.
http://androidruu.com/ has all official android RUU stored, specifically http://androidruu.com/?developer=EvitaRE for you (it's the Cingular ROMs).
Good luck and don't forget to thank if you like the post.
Thank you for the reply. However, that did not help
The links under q23 and q24 dont work. Even if they did, they just point to the stock boot and recovery, not the rom.
The AndroidRUU does not have the 4.2.2 plus sense5 rom which is the last at&t update. The ruu for this update was available for download at the HTC Dev website but isnt anymore. i was hoping someone had downloaded it and could re-upload it..

This is a paid option and not for developer types like us. I am not convinced they support our USA model 955U anyway.
I would think Chainfire might come out with something like happened with S7 Edge. We shall see. Been 3 weeks.

Think you missed the "lol" portion if my post
So I have been doing some research and the same kind of issue was occurring with the S7/Edge and there was a modified ODIN and "Engineering" boot.img (kernel) that claims to root the device. So I am curious if using that "modified hack" version of ODIN and a boot.img that has a kernel compatible with snapdragon (the only one I see in main s8+ forum is for Exynos). Not sure if this is really safe to do but I am guessing that once enough devs want root on this device, something will be out there. Has anyone tried KingRoot?
I have trieed Kingroot but always fail!!!
I hope Chainfire can do something for us.
Anyway: eng kernel exist for this device? Snapdragon version ofcourse.
I contacted the support team for oneclickroot and they said that they do not have a root for the US versions of the S8+.
Was wondering if there would be a way to modify and or port the s7 boot.img to an s8+ variant? Maybe even a way to "trick" it as to read it like an exynos vairant processor?
i just bougt sprint s8+ off swappa. any update to the rooting it cause im gonna unlock it.

So I have been doing some research and the same kind of issue was occurring with the S7/Edge and there was a modified ODIN and "Engineering" boot.img (kernel) that claims to root the device. So I am curious if using that "modified hack" version of ODIN and a boot.img that has a kernel compatible with snapdragon (the only one I see in main s8+ forum is for Exynos). Not sure if this is really safe to do but I am guessing that once enough devs want root on this device, something will be out there. Has anyone tried KingRoot?

I've tried KingRoot, but it's hot garbage. Seeing so much in the way of information regarding the S8 Plus having a locked bootloader (Sprint ENG_US version or any other carrier variant for that matter), and I was wondering if there is any new information? Eager to root this bad boy, but no bueno thus far. I'm seeing the information for international ones using the Exynos, but I found this 'CF-Auto-Root-dream2qltesq-dream2qltesq-smg955u.tar' earlier this afternoon. Not even sure if this is compatible and I'm not going to be the guinea pig today. Has anybody else messed with this kit?
Anybody have any relevant information pertaining to effective rooting of the S8 Plus on Sprint by chance? Until I hear of some success with this, I'm not going to attempt. Got a bit of a qualm with a $1K paperweight. Please advise.
Thanks!
