Glad to see a new poster around here. Follow the instructions on that page and it should get you through everything. As long as you have Clockwork Mod (CWM) on your phone already. If you don't have that here's another thread for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121952
That thread will get you CWM onto your phone just follow those instructions as well.
After you get all that done then just flash the theme you want through CWM using the zip file they give in their post with their instructions. I assume you already know where to get those and maybe even which one you want.
Hope this was hopeful
If you have more questions feel free to pm Mr and I can walk you through it more as well. Also, we have an IRC channel as well. Someone helped me out and saved my phone...twice...cubed... So the least I can do is pay it forward.
Cheers

Ok so I'm new to moding. I have a Sprint Hero. I went to the sprint store and they updated me to the official 2.1 update. My question is can I still mod my phone even if I have the new 2.1 soft ware? And if not, is there a way to go back to 1.5 ? and if so , how do I even do that ? is there a tutorial around here to show me how to start doing this? Yes im a tech but this is not my filed. Can someone point me in the right direction.
Can't do anything yet to an official 2.1. Sorry give it some time

If you search here on xda for the guide to rooting you will find one, however, I think this one gives you a little more info and is super easy to follow. Btw, this one uses the same method.
http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-sprint-hero/38911-guide-root-rom-faq-tutorial.html
Also, there is an auto rooter out there called Fresh Kitchen found at geekfor.me which is pretty cool.. it's made specifically for the Sprint HTC Hero based on 1.5. I used it to root my phone and it work flawlessly and it's pretty much painless... once it's rooted, from what I can tell, you can pretty much try out various roms from the different devs that are out there. The main thing is, you may have to wipe your phone when you change to different roms.. geekfor.me/category/android15/ is link for the auto rooter.. you have to download it and run it on your pc then connect your phone via usb cable.. he has video tutorials on the website to help..
hello ... i have a thunderbolt and im very familiar with that...... however my younger brother just got a revolution which was rooted from the previous user.... im sure he doesnt get the updates from verizon anymore sooo i was wondering from where hes at now, whats the easiest way to get GB???? i was looking at the gingervolt rom, but can that be installed over froyo?? any help would be appreciated... thanks guys..
Don't install over froyo it will bootloop

Go to the development section and there is alot in there. I would link ya but on the phone. Just don't flash a gingerbread ROM over Froyo.
GINGERVOLTED!
Can anyone directly help me? i would really appreciate it.... i got the .tot file.. but im having trouble with the lgnpst program... looks like i have all the files, but i cant bring my phone up in that program... aghhh
I'll be on IRC for awhile. Most likely other people online as well...we'll have you gingerbreaded in no time. Info is in my sig.

i think i figured it out.... that program found the found... now i gotta install that .tot file... unfortunately it wont let me do it because i have less then 25% battery... soo im charging it right now...... BTW it doesnt matter that im rooted already??? im just assuming once the update goes through ill have to root it again before getting the gingervolt rom??

I flashed my rom today using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631499. Installed it in recovery via ssd then i read somewhere i needed to flash the kernel to i used boot.img and flashed it. Now its stuck on the boot logo. Please tell me i didn't just completely mess up my phone.
Need more info like what kernel how did you flash with fastboot now too get back to stock you need to relock your bootloader and run your phones ruu which you can download from htc

Somehow i managed to fix it and i got that custom rom to work. So far so good, can use the phone perfectly. That scared the well yeah out of me. I don't really enjoy the current rom but for the scare i had for about a hour or two. I will be keeping it as punishment for doing something stupid lol.
Glad you got it running if you want a great set of instructions google the Rom in my signature you have to join the site to see the vivid section and have 11 posts to see the downloads make sure to read the rules and follow them if you can't find it pm me and I will send you the link

your welcome
This happens to me sometimes. For me most of the time, it's just a bad flash and all you need to do is reflash the ROM and kernel.

O Wow senior member, your answer was a great step forward for me.. LOL obviously I don't know what the issue is if i did i wouldn't have posted this thread and wasted your time viewing plus replying to it. If possible can you elaborate on your answer please. remember might also help someone that just got a DS7 T-mobile tablet.
I'm assuming because its a T-Mobile edition.
No, because you aren't on Honeycomb, idiot. Perhaps you should know who you are talking to first before having an asshat attitude.
Sorry I didn't hold your hand and your penis. Perhaps you can learn to do those on your own.

hi everyone sorry for the dumb question ived looked everywhere with no difinative answer. I am new to rooting obviously but have been following u guys since hd2 days!!! Never pulled the trigger on flashing but im tired of the wait for an official jb rom by tmo which dont know if it will ever happen. Anyway i have seen all the threads on rooting the tmo note but not sure if the files to root can be done with this build uvma1. All of them are about the previous version uvgl3 or something like that which is the previous one before the update back december- january. Also would u choose cwrm or twrp cor recovery and do i need the latest version of odin or will the 1.4 be ok. Sorry for sounding lost and dumb but have only glanced through most of the process. Worst case scenerio is getting me a new note2!!

Thank you for the link and have read it but someone talks about downloading cwm and superuser and then downloading a uvma1.tar file which there isnt a link to it and the last post explains a diferrent procedure which to me sounds knid of complicated and dont know if i can pull that off as i am not very bright to such thin as u can tell lol. The original way sounded much easier but i guess the uvlg3 file wont work on this build from what i can tell. If that makes sense now im just hesitant to try any of it as i really cant afford to get me a new phone incase something goes wrong. Sorry for sounding dumb but i wish it could be much easier.
You can go to my thread and install my pre rooted version. You can use backup then restore to keep your data.

As I have mentioned in the "Goodies" forum the only way I could root the build (uvma1) is by downloading the two apps from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217840 from method 3 section and flash it using TWRP 2.3. Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip did not work, would not even flash.
