I just rooted my friends Hero last night using Androot. I followed @dkelley's post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7754273&postcount=443 (I should add that using Androot is waaaaay easier than the goldcard method I used! :D) Oh, and using the recovery flasher program requires the goldcard method.

To paraphrase:

1. 1click root (Androot)

2. Install Superuser app from market

3. Install ROM Manager app from market.

4. Use ROM Manager to flash it's own recovery image (it's called Clockwork recovery I think)

5. Optional. If you want to use another recovery image like Amon_Ra, just select flash alternate recovery image (after installing Clockwork recovery image first, otherwise it won't work) and ROM Manager will flash Amon-Ra's recovery image.

Now when you boot to recovery you'll see the new recovery.

From here do a Nandroid backup before doing any ROM flashing. This way if anything bad happens you can always come back to recovery and Nandroid restore your old ROM.

Hope that helps!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] KylejMcD:
Thank you so much! It worked like a charm!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rternier:
AndRoot is the best way. I tried 3 other "Sure fire" ways from The Unlockr group but this one took the cake.

Was simple and easy.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] saj222:
Glad to see it worked. :D

Which ROM did you try first?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Balou61:
I'm trying to do the same thing, using Super One Click. It's doing everything when I click Root and at the last item, I get a ROOT FAILED message. Could the fact that my phone is unlocked be in cause? If not, what am I doing wrong?

HTC Hero

Carrier Fido

FW 1.5

Build 2.73.661.46 CL# 74632 release-keys

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] saj222:
Haven't heard of that one. Why don't you try the Androot method I mentioned to the OP? It worked for me on my buddy's phone and for the OP. It'll probably work for you too.

Last weekend, some Vodafone customers in the UK & NL have received the first HTC Desire HDs.

Different sources show that various webshops in the UK & NL have received their Desire HDs now as well and will be shipping tomorrow (Tuesday Oct 19th).

This thread is to identify the first hands on experience from the new DHD owners by asking them to vote for 3 possible options.

One of the options is to identify if the proximity sensor failure is happening a lot.

Please vote only if you own a Desire HD and have hands on experience with it.

Thanks!

Poll: I own a HTC Desire HD and it (CLICKING ON THE LINKS BELOW, SUBMITS YOUR VOTE)

[*]Works fine, without major problems.

[*]Has a proximity sensor failure.

[*]Has another significant problem (please specify by replying to this thread)

Nice poll i feel tempted to vote on the 3rd option and answer.." I DONT HAVE ONE YET AND I DONT KNOW WHEN !" but i wont do it :|

Hey, Im using Leedroid's latest desire rom and notice that I only start off with about 20 mb internally. This is very little and wonder if it is normal for froyo roms to have very limited space internally.
[Desire General] AndroHero:
its probably because you dont have an ext partition, have you partitioned your sd card?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderstruck484:
Every time I try to it freezes and then reboots my phone. When the phone turns back on, the app isn't installed.

It's been doing this to me with every app I try and download. (I keep getting that annoying voicemail update notification, also any apps I have from the market don't install.)

I originally had it rooted, then updated to the 3.29 (dumb idea, I know) and had an issue with the install, fixed that and now it won't install apps.

My question is this:

Should I take it back (to best buy, where I got it) and have them just replace it, or would re-rooting my phone (I'd probably use unrevoked 3.21), and flashing a new ROM (I've had my eye on Myn's Warm twopointtwo) possibly fix it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noxious Ninja:
I would say re-root, wipe everything, then flash a new ROM. That will probably fix it. If it doesn't, you have something very wrong.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderstruck484:
yeah, its that "very wrong" thing I'm worried about. I just want to be sure that I'm not gonna get stuck with a bricked phone or anything like that.

I was going to do unrevoked 3.21, but once I started it up it told me if there were any problems with my phone that I shouldn't do it.

So I came on here and decided to ask for help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noxious Ninja:
How did you originally root? If you used Unrevoked Forever you can easily re-root from stock without have to run Unrevoked again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderstruck484:
I used simpleroot OTA 1.47.651.1 edition.

it said one click root, so I used it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderstruck484:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=720565

Thats the one I used
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noxious Ninja:
It's hard to say. It you have PRI 1.77 (which you probably got from the OTA update) and no other signs of rooting (Superuser app, Titanium Backup, etc.) you may be safe taking it back to Best Buy. I don't know how well they look for signs of rooting before doing warranty repairs/replacements.

Between taking it in and trying to re-root, I really can't say which is riskier.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderstruck484:
ok so I fixed it by rooting and flashing a new rom. The problem seems to be with the OTA rom, for some reason it wouldn't allow new programs.

weird.

thanks for the help!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderstruck484:
yeah I thought of this too and figured it had to be a problem with the rom. So I rooted and flashed and now it is working.

edit:I did have the superuser app. Didn't work tho, obv. but I had it.

thanks for your help!

This is my everyday use metamorph, that I personally tweaked to change the notification pull down icons for the notification power widget.

Description

This theme changes your pull-down icons.

This is a MetaMorph theme, so you will need to install MetaMorph from the Market and use it to apply this theme.

MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE APPLYING THIS THEME!

I am not responsible for any issues this theme causes. It works perfectly fine on my Sexus, but no two phones are alike so your experience may differ.

Feel free to modify or incorporate this theme in part or whole in your own projects. I did not create any of the images as I only compiled from a different theme to customize to my own personal taste.

Instructions:

1. Download attached zip, and place it on your SD card.

2. Go into Rom Manager and reboot into Clockwork Recovery.

3. Do a Nandroid backup just in case (I have thoroughly tested this and never had problems)

4. Reboot - once up and running open Metamorph (install from market)

5. Select "unzip/extract new theme"

6. Select "framework-res.apk" last - click "Apply it!"

7. After it is finished, reboot.

8. Done, Enjoy.

Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled. Having it off causes NinjaMorph and MetaMorph to hang for long periods of time with the "applying" message that some of you may be experiencing.

If the extract option via metamorph gives any issues then just extract it using root explorer; use the "pick existing theme" option in metamorph and select the extracted theme folder and then select the ".xml" file. Good luck and enjoy!

Thanks to:

WatermarkD - for images

Stericson - for MetaMorph

Cyanogenmod - for being awesome

XDA - for giving us a place to colaborate

Interesting question.

I think WM6.x will continue and marketplace will too
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] animelover:
A Microsoft manager stated, that WM6.5 will be still alive until all business features from WM6.x are integrated into WP7! So the Windows Marketplace will live until then, indeed! ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] at45:
But really, who cares? The marketplace is still new to WinMo6 and we did fine without it. You're on XDA so you must know how to install CABs. The only thing I can think of that's any good and is exclusive to Marketplace is Shazam.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mknewman:
Yes, but be sure and save the .cab files off somewhere as if Marketplace does disappear (as it inevitably will, from my 25 years of experience as a M$ customer) you may lose access to them.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Miami_Son:
Just like Marketplace knows who you are when you sign in, it will know what device you are using and probably only show you software for it since you'll be accessing it from your phone.

I hate the touchdown widgets. I have taken the liberty and modified the apk for anyone that hates it as much as I do. All I have done so far was theme /edit the mail and calender widgets and I modified the text from black to white. They are transparent with smoke borders. Past due appointments will still show red. Be easy on me as this is my first android mod! Feedback is welcome as well!

All you need to do is install the trial version of touchdown located below and be sure to license it! If anyone wants to give me a quick rundown of MM i'd be happy to modify the install procedure. The apk is for android 2.0 devices.

You don't need pit fil.

Only if you re-partition you need that.

If you are on jm* firmware you can flash jpm/jp6 over it.

But my advice is to flash jpk with re-partition and pit 512.

Then format the internal sdcard.

Wipe the catch. And do a factory reset.

Then you have a clean system that's froyo and you can flash jpm over it.

Advantage of this is that you don't have old setting that can comprised the stability of sgs.

It more work, but you will get a better phone in the long run.

But first DO a backup.

hi all!

some of you are happy to have DHD already.

Tell me please how does it work as music player? Is it better than older HTC phones? (or generally phones) Can it play music as good as mid level mp3 players like iPOD, Creative, Sony etc.?

I mean with headphones, not stock off course.

best regards, Wojtek
[Desire HD General] LeviathanPT:
I recall clock saying the sound was great using earphones. not sure if its the stock tho
[Desire HD General] adwinp:
The DHD has a good ADSP unit and as such, you should experience a good multimedia experience. This is of course dependant on other addons (DSPManager works great, but that requires modifying the framework) as well as upon the quality of your hardware (earphones - wired ones like Sennheinser and Bose work great).

You SHOULD bear in mind, that this is primarily a phone, NOT a multimedia unit.

Pozdrawiam ;]
[Desire HD General] d0pefish:
I am listening to music on my HD right now!

It sounds incredible, awesome quality from the phone when using some quality earbuds. Sounds just like my iPod Video.

There is also the option of enabling Dolby Mobile, or SRS, or other EQ presets.

What's really nice is that you can scan the network for UPnP servers with the built-in Music app (eg. Windows Media, TVersity, XBMC and many more - I use foobar2000) and access music libraries stored on computers or NAS drives etc. Very handy! :D I think it works for pictures and videos too. Looks like part of HTC's DLNA implementation.

FM radio also sounds alright too. Haven't moved into a location where I could get full FM strength yet, but indoors on my headphones it's nice enough.
