Okay guys, I have scoured the internet and these forums trying to find a solution to my problem, but I have not come up with anything yet. I have followed the directions exactly for the Sprint version of the rooting for 2.1 on an htc Hero and everything is fine until I get to the command:
sh /sdcard/unrevoked
Now it does it's thing with this and I get the next Unpacking, please wait... And then the huge UNREVOKED, but after this in everything that I have seen it should say "Ready to 'su'." Yet it never does. It just goes back to the "$" and that's where it sits. I checked the phone just to make sure and see if the superuser permissions app was there... and it's not. Am I missing something? I didn't get any errors before this, but can't get that app installed. Ugh, so frustrated...
So no ideas from anyone, huh? Darn, and here I was hoping someone would at least have something for me to try.
I am confused, you said in the thread title you want root for 2.1 not sprint but then you go to mention this;

So you want it for the sprint or not for the sprint?

Andrewb84uk,
Good question, but the statement I made still holds true. The phone I have is not using the Sprint ROM but it is a CDMA phone, so I was hoping that the rooting exploit for Sprint would work for the company that I am through as well (which happens to be a carrier called Cellcom located in Wisconsin). So Yes, I do not have a Sprint Hero, but I also do not have a GSM Hero either. Just hoping that since I can't find rooting for any other carriers, something might have worked...

That's okay. Thanks for even responding! I appreciate it.
If your phone is CDMA, then I would post over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=650
I can move this if you want (I think), but you might as well just open a thread over there and explain the issues.
In GSM Hero, we tend to refer to all CDMA hero's as being Sprint Heros (since Sprint was first to release it IIRC)

Wait... there is a CDMA forum section? Wha??!?!?? Musta missed that. Merci Beaucoup! I'll probably do that then. If you could move it over that would be great as well.

I tried out a few of the different rooting techniques and have still had no luck. It's kinda frustrating. I guess that's one of the downsizes of having so many devices with the same platform. You can root for one device, but it certainly won't work for all, or all the different carriers either. Couple more to try before I decide to give up and pack it in. Never had this much trouble with my other phone...
SOLVED!!!

Wow, thank you. This seems to have worked beautifully. I am now rooted and have the Super User Permissions application on my Hero. Kudos for the link and the creator of the apk!
Like the title says. I need help in how to get my droid esn added to metros database. I have everything else done on the phone it gets metro at 611 .. I have the mms and net set and ready to with all files needed. I just can seem to find anyone around me that will add the esn. Please let me know of anyway I can. I called metro and they said no, and I took it to like 10 dealers and they all said no. Please help thanks.
what did the dealers say besides no? did they say why not?

Both of you: I asked around a lot last week and I was told to go to a Corporate store because they are the only ones who can get into that part of the database and edit it. Apparently it costs some money, idk how much.
Thanks for the replys so far, but I have done all of the above as in so far as to go to the corp store and dial 611 and 228 infront of them, and hello hello hello lol played and nope will not add the esn from the phone in person or at the dealers(any corp or private). The only guy I found here where I live wants 90 bucks to add the esn :{ any other ideas I have a eris running fully flashed and loaded but its not doing it for me any more. Ok thanks for any ideas.

Well I suggest that you keep looking on craigslist or something because that seems like your only option now... or just save up an buy the LG Esteem... $350 but well worth it... epic phone. Good luck man :/
Hi AtmosFEAR I could get one of the esteem but I just looked here real quick and I didn't even see a sub-forum for them :{ whats up with that ? I went into the corp store again tonight and I got someone who said if the phone is flashed they could do it so dial 611 and they here metro so he takes the phone and goes to scan the esn and nope. Not flashed by Houdini so no work. Now can I go and buy that program and flash them my self and will it just add the esn for me into metros database or ? Because I would like to flash the phones also for cheaper then the guy here and make money my self :}. Ok any insite thanks for help

Now also does the esteem have root and all yet or what can we do with the phone out of the box as far as modding to to make it mine :}
Thanks guys

<spc_hicks09_> mt just put out a rom for them, Gingersteem. they have 2 kernels, one that can oc to 1700 then ours (their version) that can oc to 1500. someone else made the one that can oc to 1700
<spc_hicks09_> i think that's about it
<Haro|Prime> OK thanks. Guy in the DROID forums is trying to get the DROID on metro and someone entwined the esteem. I told him I would get dev info since I guess they don't have a forum yet

Hope I helped
Thanks again and i will hop on the irc a little later night time soon here. and maybe i will sell the droid and the eris and get the esteem sooner but i would have to just flash the prl for verizon back and sell the eris to some one for what flashed to metro already and i can hook them up with mms and the net with it. i just dont know how much the 2 would be worth

so since vz has the 4.2.2. and is cdma, would it be save to assume it would be a port to sprint or do we still have to wait until sprint releases?

So no disrespect but in all the HTC statements I've seen I have only read that they "hope" or "plan" to have it out before the end of September and one critical piece of info was never said.... September of what year...
Sorry but I am still hopeful that the Vzn release will give the devs what they need to at least move the Sprint device forward with updated roms just in case there are "delays"...

Yeah, since the VZW phone drops today, I'm wondering how long (rather, how quick) it will be before the devs get a hold of it and rip out the source! It's days like this that make me wish I had the time and knowledge for coding.

Does anyone happen to have PRL 52100 to upload? I'm going away this weekend to an area where there's only Verizon roaming. Would be nice to have 3G instead of 1xRTT.
I saw it on Captain Throwback's Signature and figured it was the Business PRL. If you read this post captain throwback, could you please create one of your PRL threads on the M8 forum like the other forums do? =P
I have 51100, and I believe this is for non-business accounts.
Thank you!

I was running 56018.PRL and I believe it was roaming on VZW. You just might not get Spark with it.
But my first phone broke and I have not been brave enough to run it again just yet.
52098.PRL is available too and may just be an earlier version of 52100.PRL
Either might be good enough to get by for the weekend.

Hey all, just wondering if anyone has the zip file of wild child's ROM lying around. The website has been down for months now, no sign of coming back up (I have been registered for a while, but that didn't help now). I did find an old nand backup of it, but as one might expect, it experiences issues that are likely due to changes in my file system.
I'm also open to any ideas of somehow building the ROM back up from said backup.

I can't remember why they are called "mod". I had flashed this to my Canadian Vivid (HTC Raider) and didn't use it for too long. These copies were passed on to me by another forum member (as back in that day, WCX's roms were not to be posted here). I remember him telling me that the difference between "old" and "new" are simply design features. If he/she objects to me posting these, I will have to take them down (I asked via PM a few days ago and haven't received a response yet).

thank you! This is fantastic! If I remember correctly, mod meant that WC had the phone overclocked, or was using a different kernel or something.

Also remember that wcx rom was different from the others. I think kernel had to be flashed manually / separately regardless of bootloader unlock/s-off status.

My apologies for bumping up a rather old thread, but I've not really found anything more recent. I'll reiterate the request that was originally posted: does anyone have a copy of the old WCX Illuminati ROM for the HTC Vivid? It was the first one I ever used, and I've gone through several others since then, but frankly none of them worked as well as that one did... but sadly I can't find a copy of it anymore.
If necessary, please feel free to PM me with a link, to avoid posting a 'live' link.
