Worked 2.1 stock, .7 version
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] MrDowntown12:
yes this works for .2

I rooted a hero using this. With this method, there really is no need for any other root threads.

I don't know how, but someone should definitely sticky this in the Development thread and bold it in the wiki. It makes the whole process so easy.

This works very easily on Cellular South HTC Hero 2.1

Question With HTC Sync Problem and Others :0)

So I am new to rooting but can hold my own pretty good with this kinda thing. The first question is:

When I open HTC Sync it finds my phone and allows me to install apps, however my problem is it will no longer sync my windows contacts. 1 hour ago it worked fine before I Rooted and flashed in the zip provided. Is this why it will not sync my contacts? When it starts synchronization it goes past preparing PC, then stops on Preparing Phone for a few seconds then goes to synchronization failed?

Also was wondering if someone could recommend a good ROM to use as I was reading in a previous post that you should use a different rom other than than the one provided if you plan on staying in Root. I have limited bandwidth as I live in the sticks or I would start downloading everything I could find.

Thanks:cool:

I have uninstalled and reinstalled HTC Sync Multiple times and have updated the "My HTC Driver", pretty much everything I could think of or read to do.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ninjamike78:
Super easy! Just about to try some roms. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] vidaljs:
Worked just fine for me. I rebooted Sprint HTC Hero back to factory reset.

Band 2.42.01.04.27

HBoot 1.47.0000

Software 2.27.651.5

After several other Root attempts including unlockr's versions, I finally had success with this painless and easy process.

Secondly, ROM Manager was not downloading any ROMs from its software but when I reinstalled the program, I noticed that their own note said something like "gone are the days of downloading ROMS to your phone....etc" so after I put the CynnogenMod 6.1 on my sd card, I did have one problem installing it with the "error status 7" problem (and I did try downgrading my Hboot, but it didnt work) but that was fixed by using a different file version of the Mod.

This is this the file that did NOT work: update-cm-6.1.0-Hero-signed.zip

BUT this is the one that did work: update-cm-6.1.0-Heroc-signed.zip

Im not to savy on all this rooting stuff so Im not sure what the total difference is between the two files except for the dates they were submitted. Anyhow, the second file did NOT give me any errors. I then also installed the Google apps and presto...

Im rooted with the "Jcase" method from and post from 2nd August 2010, 09:00 PM

and Im running Cyanogen 6.1 on my Sprint HTC Hero with NO issues.

I hope this helps others
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] MrDowntown12:
The second one bolded, (heroc) is for the CDMA Hero, which is why it worked.

The First one bolded, (hero) is for the GSM Hero, which is why it didn't work.

So just make sure when you flash things its for heroc and not just hero. Basically don't download anything from the GSM Section.

edit: also for what its worth, most people don't flash roms via clockwork app. It usually isn't updated for the newest stuff for our phone. Your better off checking the Development forum and downloading the most recent and flashing from recovery yourself. Plus you eliminate the possibility of downloading a GSM rom.

first link is broken. anyone got another link for the .apk file?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] MrDowntown12:

try it using a different browser or a different internet connection

even try doing it from your phone browser, that works a lot of the time too.

I'm a total noob to rooting, and have only been playing with it for a day, but my Alltel HTC Hero now has the super-user app in the app drawer, the darchstar backup/recovery, and I have been able to install root-only apps from the Market, thanks to the dev's of one-click.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jamesdean123:
Just performed this on Sprint Hero and it worked great. Thanks to the OP for this useful tool. Just one question though, I still have S-ON. Is that a problem or should I just not accept any OTA updates from Sprint?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] MrDowntown12:
just don't accept them. Not that sprint will push anymore updates...but yeah just cancel if they do
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jamesdean123:
Thanks, using Titanium Backup I froze an app that is causing a HTC sense force close and need to restore a recovery image. I had already deleted the rootme.zip after a successful root and need to recover from it or preferably the stock image and start over. Is this file available somewhere or can I run the heroroot.apk on another rooted hero and grab it from there?

Problem solved.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jporter12:
Yes.

^^^ This.

I just reverted back to the latest RUU available, the .7 version. I then used this method to root, installed wireless tether for root users and it works fine.

To download the .apk, I just typed the url into the phone's browser, I had to tell the phone to allow the app, then ran it. No PC connection required! That is awesome!

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dastin1015:
Depending on your Windows software, you may have to right-click it and select to 'Run As Administrator.' That should allow the RUU to run, cause I had the same problems when I upgraded from 1.5 to 2.1.

I have a cell south hero running the 2.1 update and I followed all instructions and i have super user and what not.

I also tried a terminal emulator and I get a accesss denied error when typing in cp which I need to install a new boot animation any help?????
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] MrDowntown12:
I can't help you with the wireless tether, that's a whole other beast and really gonna take experimenting on your own.

As far as terminal emulator, you have to type "su" first and it'll ask for permission then you can do whatever commands you need.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] marth17:
Hi, sorry, another complete noob here. So I followed the instructions and it appeared to work, just a couple things I need help with:

1) how do I confirm that I am now rooted?

2) how do I get rid of the stupid Sprint apps (nascar, sprint TV, etc)

3) how do I overclock my device?

4) the only thing I didn't do was enable usb debugging, does that matter? didn't see it anywhere in settings

this may not be the best place to ask these questions but if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Also, I have the SU app but when I start it it's just a blank screen

thanks for any and all help!

THANK YOU! I rooted my evo with no problems, but trying to do my boyfriends hero was awful! I tried probably 5 or 6 different "guides", some using SDK, some not...none were easy to understand, none worked. The only think i had to (easily) google was how to install the APK file, cause i wasnt sure.

AWESOME! This should be easier to find....BEST GUIDE FOR HERO's!!!

WORKED GREAT!!!! FIRST TIME ROOTER!!!

My wife was complaining about how slow her phone has been and how she wanted a new one so I said let me try to root it first. After reading for hours on rooting I fouund this it took me about an hour to download everything, root it, flash cyanogenmod 7 and the google app kit. The phone is almost as fast as my evo now and she loves it.

Hey all,

I actually found out about this method on another forum but it linked to this thread.

I did the steps outlined, installed titanium, superuser, busybox and it appears I have root access for some folders and some apps, but not all.

I have a sprint hero, FW 2.1.1, SW 2.27.651.6. Not sure I want to install a custom ROM just yet, but I motive for rooting is to get rid of the stock sprint junk. I've tried to remove them from settings, applications, manage, but there is not uninstall. I also tried from astro, but permissions won't let me delete the apk files. Is there another way to remove these apps?

I'm new to android/linux, so don't really understand all the adk stuff, which is why when researching I picked the easy copy zip and run version.

Also, when I tried to do OTA updates, it says it's installling, reboots, but goes into the recovery program, and I don't know which option I should choose. If I go with the reboot, phone loads like normal, but doesn't show the update.

Thanks to anyone who can help me out :)

I am completely new to this so sorry if this is a obvious question, but I am unable to install ROM manager after using this. Is that normal?

I do have super user permissions.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] vidaljs:
What do mean unable?

It wont download or it wont install?

If u get it to download then, open and select top tab "flash clockmod recovery ". If that worked then u noe have CMR instead of the RA recovery it came with. Now u can flash ROMs using the ROM manager.

If u still can't do the above. . .

Once u root all u need us recovery. .. any recovery.

Keep the one it came with or choose a newer one.

Hard reset won't do anything to your system except wipe the data partition clean. That will definitely fix your issue. Probably some setting or app that didn't play nice with the update. There pretty much isn't any other fix, and if there is, factory reset is still the easiest way to go. Just sync all your apps with AppBrain. That's what I do.

I bought an Evo unactivated directly from BestBuy.

I've been trying out different roms and settled on Cyanogen 6 rc1.

Today I called to sprint to ESN swap to my Evo (from a Hero) and they completed the process on their side. My phone won't automatically provision to my number, what do I do? Should i reflash to stock, let it provision and then reflash Cyanogen?

Is there a way I can do this directly withing Cyanogen??

So, I have searched all over XDA but still haven't found an answer. Is there any differences between these 3 methods or do they all do the EXACT same thing? Does the "wipe cache partition" wipe the dalvik cache?

Currently running stock 2.1 (1.47.651.1) and would like to do a COMPLETE factory reset and clear all caches before I upgrade to 2.2 OTA. Which one of these methods is the most thorough and complete?

1) settings -> privacy -> "factory data reset"

2) hboot -> "clear storage"

3) recovery -> "wipe data/factory reset"

4) recovery -> "wipe cache partition"
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharkUW:
That's entirely uneccesary on a stock update.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sthies:
You may consider it unnecessary but I would appreciate an answer to my questions.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharkUW:
Fair enough. Storage will wipe your sdcard iirc. I'm not sure if there's a way to clear the dalvic cache on stock. At least there was some confusion w/ clockwork where people were using it's "factory reset" option and it's version at least doesn't fully wipe that cache, it's separate.

In any case, the OTA is a bunch of patches for the most part. You can even find a text file in it with settings for its scripts to wipe the part that needs wiping.

It's not an issue at all, *2 is tied directly to the Sprint promotions app which has turned into a self serve tool that can help you with many things you'd normally call in and ask for. Since 90% of all ROMs remove this app they incidently brick *2 since there's no application to call.

Beta!

I Put together this small application last night.

Pretty Simple, but it does the job well :)

Use it to convert Images from HDPI themes (nexus one, galaxy s, droid, etc.) To MDPI to use on your phone (Magic, G1 and other smaller devices)

Just select a bunch of image files (using shift) and press OK. This will decrease the selected images by 75%, suitable for an MDPI resolution screen.

Works on Snow Leopard. Not to sure about older operating systems

Could throw another one together to convert MDPI to HDPI on request.

Enjoy! suggestions welcome :)

Updated: Added some extras ;) I guess I should call this release.. 0.8, because i'm still not sure if its working properly..

Great work regardless.
