[Hero CDMA Android Development] yavuzalps:
So first of all great job thank you very much for all the hard work. My phone was rooted befre when i was using 1.5 than i did get the upgrade yesterday and i was going to root it this morning again but when i woke up i saw the new update and i did sey yes before thinking twice. Long story short i did try to use the same method to root but i stuck on step 7 that program never made appered on my program list.... so decided to use the upgrade file I used yesterday to rollback and i can see it is the original ut everytime i try to do it at the start it resets my phone and my phone stuck at black HTC screen when i unplug the phone from the computer screen turns to android screen with bunch of number nd skating android pictures ( i dont know if it makes sense). I tried twice it finds the phone at the begning it starts the procedure but 5 sec later my phone resets and it stucks and after that it gives a communication error. Any idea or should i be patient and wait for you to get find anotther solution. :) thanks for the help in advance

I can tell you, I am running Fresh 2.1.1 (too lazy to go to 2.1.2 yet :P) and I cannot find Handcent or launcherpro in the market today either. I think the issue there is with google and not us. I did a search for both, and even though I have both installed, they do not show in search in the market.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alafferty:
I corrected my issue. it seems when i issued the reboot recovery command and the phone rebooted and was still connected to the computer it would just hang. So i issued the command again and as soon as the phone went black I disconnected the USB cable and it went right into recovery mode. This was using the 1.5.2 recovery img. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue but i wanted to post it and how i fixed my issue in case anyone else had the same issue.

Thanks to all who made this root possible. I am truly amazed at the work you all do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] imleon:
yeah. but i am also pretty sure that i could see those apps before root. so are there any idea how to fix this issue?

Need help... I did the root and it worked perfect, it seemed to be much faster than before, anyways I felt like I could do anything and so I went ahead and downloaded a custom rom/theme. I restarted the phone under recovery mode to install that rom and every time I tell it to boot up, it gets stuck in the white htc quietly brilliant screen, it does it over and over and nothing will happen until I take the battery out. Once I do that, I can push the power and volume down button taking me to the recovery start up mode. I then select the recovery option and select to flash zip from sdcard - boot-patched.zip and it stills gets stuck on the same white screen over and over... please help
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gunrunner25:
if anyone has data problems after root, just turn airplane mode on then off.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rippley05:
Guys I am not rooted, still trying to decide if I want ot try it.

I am on the official 2.1, just wanted to let you guys know that even tho I have Handcent installed, I can't find it in the market in a search either...and I'm not rooted
[Hero CDMA Android Development] runngwlf:
The boot-patched.zip is not a rom.. you need to flash the zip file for a rom like Fresh 2.1 or Damage or something. Did you create a nandroid backup like suggested in post #1? If so you can do a nandroid restore back to how it was before you tried to flash a new rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
this is not a root problem, usually when flashing a new rom best pratices are to first wipe data, then wipe dalvik, then flash the rom, if it doesnt take try to do the flash again. sometimes it just doesnt go perfect the first time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mxart:
So I did the wipe data/factory reset, tried to run the wipe dalvik but it said... Run 'wipe dalvik' via adb... I'm stuck
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
I don't see it either, and while I AM rooted, it's not with the latest RUU...and I was able to see it a few days ago.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kjjjjshab:
Same here. 2.1-update1 (Sprint Official), no root, x.651.5, and I have not been able to update LauncherPro for a day or more, and cannot see ADW either. There are others on different devices that cannot find those apps... it is definitely unrelated to this effort.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mxart:
try it without ">" and just type su
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hunterd13:
i had the same problem when i used the 1.5.2 recovery image. switched to 1.6.2 and was able to wipe without "adb"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Crown510:
Hi guys newbie here. I managed to do this in 10 minutes and I followed every step of the way. I see no difference on my phone what am I missing? rom? if so how do i install that? let me know thank you!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mxart:
can you elaborate some more on what you did?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] animal7296:
Go back to development section and check out the different time and follow their directions to flash a Rom.

That comes up automatically...just before the flashing cursor, can't get rid of it......
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hunterd13:
when you get to the step where you push the"recovery.img" i substituted the "recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img" and thats it. everything else is the same steps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] krevitz:
Congratulations and thanks for y'all who was involved and helped to make this happen i just can't believe it

[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
lol, about time u got it rooted, now u can make a custom stock rom with a not so vulnerable sh :).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jporter12:
So, is this the bootloader from 2.1? Is it any different?

Would it make any difference to run the ruu then use your method to gain root?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
Nice and easy and smooth.

One typo:

You say to push boot-patched.img but its suppose to be boot-patched.zip

Thanks alot!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
nice catch, thank you. fixed :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rsoehelk:
will you release the official 2.1 Rom since its rooted?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] puppetmstr:
It says "Stock Android 2.1". Im assuming that doesnt mean new Hero phones that were released with 2.1 right? :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] avegasrascal:
Dam!!!!!

Great job Everyone. Wouldn't you know it I just shipped my 2.1 phone back to sprint replaced with a 1.5 phone which I rooted today. Would it be worth it to update to 2.1 and root it??? Cause I had an issue with data while on the sprint ruu2.1. Regaw just wanted to add your the man if I am not mistaken you were in flight working on it landing working on it sleeping working on it so many props to you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Il00Il0I:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] smile4them:
Just wanted to drop in and thank everyone involved for their hard work. I was able to root in under 15 mins and everything went smooth. Very nice write up from regaw made rooting a breeze. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aacevedo17:
problem need help!!

hey guys first time rooting, so need help plz!!

After step 9, we are supposed to see

# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

#

but on my command promt i see that then after wards it says

read error at...... out of memory.

something like that. plz help someone.

oka before this problem on step 8 when we add

su

to the command promt, i got permission denied.

i went ahead to step 9 which is then how i got the above problem. again plz help!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
This definitely has nothing to do with rooting. I guarantee it. You are right.

Agreed

The OTA update did NOT update the fingerprint actually. Odd, maybe these apps have something to do with Google's servers being down or something. Not related to the rooting.

Thanks :) Glad it was a breeze!

You need to type

adb shell

first.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vegeta_one:
So I am still stuck on step seven any help please and thank you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] a_hungk:
thank youuuuuu

thank you the other recovery file work perfect thank youuuuuu
[Hero CDMA Android Development] melgabean:
what exactly are you having issues with?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vegeta_one:
I got to step seven bu when I tried the code it said:

Can't open /sdcard/unrevoked
[Hero CDMA Android Development] melgabean:
did you go to the superuser permissions and open that window before you typed su? cause at step 8 you need to do that on your phone. just go to your apps and click on superuser permissions it will give you a blank screen. then type on su on your command prompt and then click allow on phone as for step 9 i ran into the out of memory error i just typed it again and it worked the second time try that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] melgabean:
try pushing the unrevoked file again to the sdcard and then typing it again.

adb push unrevoked /sdcard

you might need to back out of adb shell to do it if you are still in it. just type exit if you are
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aacevedo17:
Thanks ! ill try that!

Great jobRegaw as well as everyone else that put in the time. I came to this community right before damageless changed his name & can definitely say this is an enduring bunch of geniuses! I didn't flash the official but I've been watching enthusiasticly for to be rooted. -applause-
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vegeta_one:
ok it rooted now how do I do a Nandroid backup???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] melgabean:
while in the RA screen there is a menu option that allows you to backup

on the Ra-heroc screen go to backup/restore then pick nand backup and wait till its done
[Hero CDMA Android Development] The Last Airbender:
Thanks alot for all the hard work in getting this out! :)

I followed up to Step 9 part 8, and everything works great! Thanks again!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vegeta_one:
So after I do this what do I do next? do I reboot system or???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] melgabean:
yup just reboot. you should have root access now. so feel free to get a new rom or remove some worthless bloat apps. the point of a nandroid backup is in case you mess something up you can return to that point.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vegeta_one:
flash what? how do I do that? sorry but im new to this (fyi everyone who has been helping has don a wonderful job) thank you
[Hero CDMA Android Development] melgabean:
sorry i fixed my prior post. you should be able to just reboot. you now have root access. now you can download custom roms from the net put them on your sdcard get into your RA Screen and flash any new rom you have. like step 10 but instead of the zip that Regaw gave us you would use the one you downloaded. also you can get into the RA screen by holding down the home button while you power on.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
Ok, just updated the first post, showing how to create a nandroid backup and making disabling OTA updates a part of the process. Everything should be good now. I'll keep editing as I see fit.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vegeta_one:
Thank you got it to work you guys have been very helpful and great job regaw :) Now to figure out French Toast and to find the OC widget :)

Lucky you... there is no IHOP where I live :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DonnieE:
Ok, so I am really new to doing this but I have been trying. I downloaded everything and am following the directions. I must need to have something else because on the second step "adb devices" I get the response of " 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." Can anyone give me a hint of what is going wrong.

So happy this finally came out I just got my hero last month but updated it to 2.1 without doing my research. Everytime I get to step nine I can get past adb devices shows my serial number with no problems, but when i type in adb push unrevoked /sdcard. I get this message everytime

"cannot stat 'unrevoked' : No such file or directory"

Can someone please help me asap im sick of my phone being slow.

Thank you :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tennockey:
problem....

i get to step 7, get the unrevoked fancy coded image, but before the $ I get a line that says:

Please wait. This will take up to 30 seconds.

Any ideas what i'm doing wrong? It just stays there and says please wait
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wnathanball:
thanx

followed all the steps i have been following your threads for a while thanks to every one
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DonnieE:
Ok, I found the problem. The newer version of sdk needs to have the files in tools moved out to the tools folder outside the android folder. Once you do that everything goes exactly like it should. I am rooted. Thanks so much.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stillryan:
Wow, thank you soooo much for getting us root AND blocking the OTA that was going to disable root. I saw something at work as a footnote in an email about an OTA update and i figured it was to block the exploit that you used.

Great work!! Once i get my PayPal account fixed, i'll be donating for sure. You did a lot of great, hard work and it is really appreciated!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Blkjck11:
So I have Root access, i am able to install apks that require the access, which is nice, love wifi tether. but i am unable to boot into recovery. any suggestions? I have attempted the steps a few times now.

The easiest way i found was to just copy the 3 files from root.zip to the sdcard

Make sure you have the latest HTCSync program loaded on your computer (contains the USB drivers needed).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cephraim:
Worked great - thanks!

I found that, after doing the nandroid and rebooting the system, my PC was giving me a connection error to the phone. So, I had to unplug the phone and plug it back in again. Should there be an "unplug your USB connection now" command in the tutorial somewhere?

Also, can we now turn off USB Debugging mode in Development?

Thanks again!

ROOT with newest patch from Sprint??

So, I just installed the newest patch that Sprint/HTC released, updating ----.--.5 to .6. Is it still possible to root with this current update/patch? Or did this patch take care of the exploit used to gain root access? Sorry, I haven't enough time to search everywhere for the answer and thought maybe I can just post this question. My badd if this isn't okay for me to do :)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] PortableTech:
If it makes a difference to anyone, I would be willing to put up a bounty for or perhaps a donation to the correct place to help at least secure root access to the phone. If there is anything I can do with this phone or any other information I can get off of it I am happy to do so as well. Would it perhaps be better to start a new thread on this? I am a little concerned perhaps this request will be lost in the fast pace of this Sprint thread.

Rooting

How do I know if my hero updated to the .6? It was powered off this morning (don't know if it was low battery or an OTA Update). I checked the software update and it said none was available, which leads me to think that it might have updated. Under settings it still says .5, but seems like I read something about it saying .5 eventhough it is actually .6. I would really like to root the phone, but don't want to waste my time if the update has happened already?

thanks Jim

superuser app missing

I just bought a used hero phone yesterday (upgrading from a htc vogue - with myns android rom). The phone was already rooted and had "fresh" rom on it.

When I activated the phone on my account, i couldn't get it to provision the data so i got the latest 2.1 rom from htc and put it on the phone. I followed the instructions on rooting the phone but i do not see the "superuser permissions app" after i invoke the command "sh /sdcard/unrevoked". The command seems to work . It shows the "unrevoked" graphic and then says "Please wait. This will take up to 30 seconds." then it shows the "$" prompt.

After that, i don't have the superuser app in the app tray. Has anyone else been having this problem? or, is this a newer rom that i downloaded from htc's site (in the last day) that is blocking this app?

Thanks

*** the rom from htc's site says it is dated 5/19/2010 so they didn't make any changes to prevent the superuser app.. is anyone else having this problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Benduchi:
WOOOOT ty very much Ive been a lurker and had the fresh 1.5 and then of course updated to 2.1 and now rerooted ty very much A++++
