So I have been lurking for a few weeks and I have a HTC Hero that I want to root. But my question is what is the difference between rooting with UnrEVOked and rooting the way that this thread says forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
IS the difference just the difficult of the root?
And is unrevoked really just one click I haven't found much good info about it.
Thank you so much!
The thread you posted uses the unrevoked method. essentially read a little and what ever you feel is the easiest to understand then do that one.
oh ok. It didnt seem like the thread was the unrevoked method becasue theres are so many steps and unrevoked says its one click. Thats why i was confused.

universal androot is 1 click & worked great for me on 2 phones.
Thank you. I rooted the xda way with command prompt and all is wonderfull. Thank you for your clarification and help
I've fully rooted my own HTC evo and now I'm looking to root my mom's hero. My question though, is there any downside or limitations to rooting with these methods? Mainly, is this a full root or will that require additional steps?

No limitations, its more steps than the one click method but if you follow the directions it never fails, you run no risk of messing your phone up ( atleast I can't see how) ... any ways the unrevoked method has all the steps to get you rooted and will also help your understand the process and what root actually is.
But root is root doesn't matter how you do it they all lead to the same thing ... full control over your phone.
Ok, so with just one if those two methods the phone will be fully rooted to flash roms, kernels, custom recoveries, radios, and make nand backups? Can you remount and write to /system from within android? I fully understand rooting, just wasn't sure if any further steps were needed on the Hero. With the Evo it was a little more work to obtain full root.

Is anyone almost done with an easy way for the general user to root 2.2? 2.2 is awesome, but I don't want to swap Kernels or do any of that other advanced stuff..
1. Flash to stock
2. Install Rom Manager
3. Flash Cognition with Rom Manager
4. Done!

Hey all,
I am at the Stock ROM, step 1. But when I install ROM Mgr is states that I must be rooted to use.
As I read this thread, I need to be rooted to move to step 2. The whole idea of moving through these steps is to root my phone.
Am I missing something? Thanks...

just use one of the dozens of 'one click' roots that are found all over these forums....
Yes you can call me out. I deserve it.
But in my defense i tried everything and was at my wits end.
That said, i gave up too early. I tried one more time and just went to bed. When i got up i had 2.2. I dont know if it was Santa Claus or the Android Fairy and i dont care. It works.
Now i have the horrible lag issue and a Quadrant score of 950.
And now i have to face updating again and it spooks me.
Noobs, read the threads that deal with Froyo 2.2 and rooting. All the information is there. I am still a noob as are many others on the site, but with a little bit of reading and asking questions in those specific threads will get you far.
ok so many dumb questions:
I have ROM manager downloaded but it wont do anything because i cant do the Clockwork deal because my SD card is not mounted. I dont have a removable SD card but i do have one ordered and on the way. Does this mean i cant put Cognition on my phone using Rom Manager?

It doesn't matter if you have an external sd card. You must have USB debugging checked(applications - development)
Are you rooted?
Yeah thats the other thing. I am not rooted.
And i know there are a tonne of one-click root deals out there but what is the best and easiest method for 2.2?
Rooting is the part i dont know.

cognition is a rom by itself. if you want to use it, you need to flash back to stock using the odin one click restore to stock and then root it, run rom manager clockwork recovery mode, then install cognition from clockwork recovery mode.
there is no way to go from 2.2 to any version of cognition without flashing the kernel back to stock
the easiest method to do this is to just flash the whole phone back to stock.

I would like to get into the scene of rooting my phone now and exploring what it can do. Maybe there's not much it can do that I am expecting, but I won't know what its all about until I do it and get familiar with it.
So I was wondering if anyone could help me out and tell me the best/maybe easiest method to root my phone? It is the HTC Hero with software build of 2.31.651.7 and Firmware version 2.1 -update1
If I am able to root it, which rom would you all suggest I try out as a noob? I don't really want the Sprint TV or Amazon MP3 bloatware. I would like to be able to keep stuff like my gmail, Androidd market, Sprint GPS iff it matters. I would also like to be able to do some customizing in a similar way like with Launcher Pro Plus.
Am I able to root, and if so, can someone help me to be able to root my phone today?
Thank you for your help and time,

If you want to theme (i.e. decompiling framework and rebuilding) you need a DeOdex rom.
GMail and the Market are in every rom and I am pretty sure Sprint GPS is installable from its apk.
But once you have root access you can get RootExplorer and Navigate to /System/App (if its in the same spot as the evo) and delete the bloatware from your stock rom.
I would also like to know the root method of choice for the Hero.
I need to root someone elses phone.

So when I install a custom rom, does it install the Sprint APK file for me, and then from that point I choose whether to install it or not? If that is the case, does it do this will all the default files and that is how you choose what you want to keep and delete?

Most roms have their bloatware removed and usually gets put in a folder on your SD card so you can install what the rom dev removed.
If you install an OTA based rom it will usually have the stock apps with some of the useless ones removed.
But if you use an AOSP rom, like Cyanogen, there wont be any HTC or Sprint apps.
It's really up to the rom dev to decide what they want in their rom.
Once you flash the new rom you can use RootExplorer or ADB to delete those apps that you don't want.
Is that what you were asking?
Also I found another root method:
SuperOneClick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682

Yes I think you answered it. Now I just need to know how to root, and what to do when I root to load a custom rom. I also need to find out which rom would be best for me to start out with?
Again, I would like to be able to load some of the default bloatware and rid the rest and then load up some programs from the apps market.
Thank you again,

I would recommend rooting and exploring your current stock rom first untill you feel comfortable with installing a recovery, nandroid backing up, using the recovery to wipe/flashing the new rom.
When I first rooted my phone I was told to
spend a week reading how to root.
Root my stock rom.
Spend a week reading about new roms and how to flash and backup.
THEN try to flash a new rom.
Asking "Which rom is best" usually will get you flamed, It comes down to personal preference.
Here is the wiki of roms for the hero:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=CDMA_Hero_ROMs
First rom I flashed on my evo was a Fresh rom.
It's pretty stock with some tweaks done to it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681856
And hopefully someone will be able to answer which rooting method to use.

Not a problem, I know where you're coming from. I was terrified to root when I first read about it.
I'll try my best to answer what I can.
And if Unrevoked works with the .7 version, It basically does everything for you so it's really simple.
If you can check your Radio Baseband version and it's one of these, unrevoked should work.
But we should wait for someone to confirm.
(Should be in Menu -> Settings -> About Phone -> Software info)
HTC CDMA Hero, running radio baseband versions
1.04.01.09.21
2.41.04.02.02

Again, thank you for your time and patience. I really want to do this and want to do it right. If something would go wrong, I wouldn't know what to do.
My radio baseband version is 2.42.01.04.27
Will wait to hear back or see if anyone can confirm it working.
What is unrevoked? I am guessing it's kind of a "one click" type thing that will root the phone, or is it more then that?
Thank you,
Whiteice
*EDIT* So I read your link and read up on it a little. I have a basic understanding of what it does, but again, this is all new to me
You know, the more I think about it, the more I think it would be easier to ruu back to .5 and root from there. I know for a fact that unrevoked will root .5, as its the method I used. Also, I've heard good things about regaw's root, too.
Just follow the directions EXACTLY and you can't go wrong.

Okay, I wouldn't go off just radio versions...I would go off software versions.
I posted in the other thread of his and HAD recommended manually with ADB but now I would recommend using SuperOneClick. I've been searching google and it seems to be the more popular one. Have yet to read someone using Unrevoked.

The reading part has to do with how bad my ADHD is. Thus the reason why I am trying to find something a little easier and not so in depth.

ADHD, huh? Then you might be better off with a one click method. ADB method, while not difficult, requires a fair amount of reading and exact typing, or you get a hero shaped paperweight. Superoneclick seems to be the option of choice.

My Evo made me Swype this from the XDA App.
Try the xda wiki page for the hero... has all good information linked in one place.
I update to FRG83D and I guess i lost root. I attempted to restore flash clock world mod again but .nothing happens when i confirm I tried to do a backup from Titanium backup and of course it says i'm not rooted. Then I tried to go into Superuser app and it asked me to update. I attempted to and I got an error the su was not updated. A zip file (su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) has been placed on your sdcard, please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update your su binary.
Sorry for the long winded explanation, but i'm totally frustrated. I've been trying to fix this for 2hrs. Oh yeah I originally got root using universal androot and it still says im rooted. I clicked unroot but it doesn't work. I'm confused cuz androot says i'm rooted, but Superuser and Titanium backup says i'm not.
PLEASE HELP MEEE!!! I would like to get back cmod 6.1

Super one click works for frg83 and frg83d. You will need a computer. I got it from the unlockr. It has step by step instructions. It was easy and works perfectly.

Is it the case for a Nexus One replacement unit that has never been rooted or altered in any way? I got it with FRG83 and installed FRG83D as soon as I received it. I tried SOC method but it was stuck on 'waiting for device' message. Not sure if it is because of an old XP machine or HTC Evo cable I was using.
Upgrade the SuperOneClick and the Nexus One drivers to their latest versions. It DOES work. The least it does is presenting you with a root shell in ADB - which is enough to root manually.

I tried both SOC 1.5.1 and 1.5.5 with .net 2.0.5x in the XP machine. I just used the files included in the zip, isn't it that it has latest Nexus One drivers too? Sorry, I am a Mac,Linux guy and not much experience with ADB stuff on Windows.
It might not be the latest drivers, since the latest SOC (I don't remember, I believe it was 1.5.5) finished the rooting procedure correctly on FRG83D, tested several days ago, less than a week. The latest drivers are in the SDK, they need to be installed and the phone has to have "USB Debugging" enabled.

Thank you! I guess I have no other option but to install Windows on my Mac. I was feeling lucky and I thought Linux or Mac can use SOC but it is proving difficult and I haven;t come across a single reply who stated success on Linux/Mac!

They don't exist for FRG83D just yet and I am not sure if we can downgrade to FRF91 or some other firmware without unlocking bootloader.
You can install Windows in any type of VM, as long as you can forward the USB to it. I can use my Nexus in Linux under VirtualBox, after I forward the USB device to VirtualBox.

With all the time wasted searching for other methods, you would have had root on your device already if you just did it manually. It is so simple, takes like 20 mins, and it doesn't require a Windows PC.
I really don't understand why people search for so long for a "1-click" when doing it manually doesn't take that much more effort.
Rooting so is simple with the binaries available:
1) Put rageagainstthecage on your device, change permissions to allow it to run, run it, and presto, it gives you a root shell.
2) Now that you have a root shell, all you have to do is put su in the /system/bin directory, change the permissions so that it can run, and presto, you have root.
And given that rageagainstthecage exploits a vulnerability in the way adb works, this method will work for all devices without a NAND lock.
Rageagainstthecage so easy a caveman can do it.

Ummm...not sure how to say this...
Open z4root
See the 'unroot' button right next to the 'root' button?
Figure it out.

Did ya try it with USB debugging enabled? You could try unrooting with superoneclick root.

Right, ok then. You see so many idiotic questions posted on various forums, it's hard to discern if you're looking at another of those.
Maybe you should have mentioned that you've already tried the obvious way. Also, 'didn't work' is kind of devoid of information. Did you get an error message? FC? No Reaction? Success message, but no effect?

More info - better chance of fixing
Anyway, why would you want to remove su
?

Guys, I have the same problem. I used z4root to root my UK Tab. It took about 5 minutes to do the job the first time. Everything worked fine I guess. It installed Superuser and I managed to run the application that needed rooting.
The problem is when I try to unroot, I don't have the "unroot" button on the screen. I am on XXJK5 baseband.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thx!
Hi test the 1.2.2 app of z4root

I have 1.3.0 which roots and un-roots fine on XXJK5
Terminal:
su
mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system
rm /system/bin/busybox (Not very useful without root, but some functionality still handy, so up to you)
rm /system/bin/su
exit
Uninstall the Superuser app.
Reboot.
Can't imagine why you'd want to do this unless you're taking it back to the shop.

will Samsung allow to update it
ok, and here maybe the dumbest question...
when ur Tab is rooted, will Samsung allow to update it?
I mean, can they 'see' that and deny any update?
tx in advance
I haven't tried it myself, but I have noticed that the "Oneclick lag fix" app has an unroot module

Since when have Samsung issued an update OTA? Everything update they've released has been via SamFirmware for us to update themselves.
But as a general answer, custom roms won't get the popup saying an update is available. But if you do get one, don't do it.

Using SuperOneClick v1.7 on my Tab. Rooted it in USB mode. Also able to unRoot easily in USB mode. Very simple and without any issue.
I will try myself to unroot it simply because a game (Jewels HD for Galaxy Tab) does not work on rooted devices. It provides a message when trying to open it...
And honestly, for an average user, rooting the device doesn't add much in my opinion (perhaps it is just that I didn't see the benefits yet, except for having Titanium to delete everything or extended backup options).

lmao.
I know these are old posts but since somebody decided to bump this topic anyway I would just like to say to the OP if he hasnt killed himself by licking a live wire.. You sir are a prize ahole/n00b.
Even a logical person reading your initial post would have assumed you was a idiot who didnt even try to unroot with z4root. Nowhere did you mention you had tried, infact teh way you said it sounded like you didnt even know that you could unroot with z4root.
This is why "n00bs" is a bad name, not because its somebody trying to learn but because of ahole's who are lazy in the way they ask and then get pissed because somebody replies in a non-expected way.
