This is some GENERAL info on Rooting and the things it allows you to do with your phone - it draws on info from other ANDROID devices - the G1 and the Magic because there's not much specific stuff for the Hero yet - so this is for you Hero Pioneers to help you get started and save you reinventing the wheel
The Android Wiki here http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
has a specific section that is great at saying what root does/can do for you
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Why_Root - ESSENTIAL READING!!
This bit here has info on Wifi Tethering - that is using your phone as a modem/server for surfing the web via your phone's data plan.
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=G1_Tethering
This bit here has info on putting/running your apps from SD Card (To save space on the device memory - this was crucial on the G1 as it has about 75mb free for apps, but not such a big issue on magic and hero as they have MUCH more space - here's info anyway that might give you ideas how to do it for the Hero
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Haykuro_Apps_to_SD
Other things that root allows include changing ROMS and RECOVERY IMAGES, changing themes, adding and removing files from the main device memory using abd, fastboot or root explorers, enabling bluetooth file transfers and I'm sure there's other stuff too. Google searches or forum searches on XDA will usually bring up some great info. Use that Search function folks!!!
These threads and wiki's are from Android devices that paved the way for devices like Hero - use their knowledge well and keep Android Moving forward!!
Thanks for this, loads of info, just what I was looking for!
im looking forward to the phone that has root as easy as opening up a terminal window and typing in su-
im definately rooting my g1...and this helps ..thanks
now also http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hero_Rooting
one question, why is tethering relevant, considering we can tether without needing root on the hero?
You can tether via USB cable on a stock Hero, but you need a rooted Hero in order to tether via WiFi.

Apps2SD is already included in the new Modaco ROMs as well.
All you need to do is create a partition in EXT3 format on your Micro SD. I did this with a programme called Paragon Partition Manager (XP) but I'm sure there are other options.
Thanks dayzee!!
I'm new to Android and was just about to ask you thus where is a good place to learn some of the fundamentals.
Getting to know Android has been very fun and exciting so far. I'm looking forward to finding out how far I can become capable of pushing this device. I get the feeling my next upgrade will be here before I'm actually ready for it.
Usefull post, seems like no-brainer to root the Hero then.

hey i am new here and recently purchased a used htc hero and it has a android version 2.2.1 kernel version [email protected] #37 modversion floyocm-1.01 so i want to know how can i put new rom in my mobile all the guides i hav read about flashing rom are from 2.1 to 2.2 .i am a little confuse which rom is best and have the best cam and all other things
Version numbers dont care, you can flash 1.5 to 2.3.2 if im correct
Just download a rom and put in on your sdcard. Then reboot to recovery menu and flash the zip from there.

Don't forget to nandroid first! Otherwise you can't go back to your previous rom in case you don't like it. Also a full wipe will help in gettings things more stable
thanks for all the info been looking for something smiliar
Thanks for the great infos, i found all of them useful for my poor hero!
thank you for this. Just what i was looking for, can twait to root my hero now xD
where can i get themes from i dont really want to use a custom rom but i want to have a different theme on my phone, where can i download them and once ive done that how do i use/set them ??
I have spent days looking for threads so this neewb is about to break something. Well maybe not. I have my daughters Eris 2.1 and am trying to root it for her. I have tried several times with different methods. The issue is that I can get into recovery mode after every 1 click app but nothing I try will let me toggle to unzip to SD, or toggle to anything for that matter, volume wont do it and all track ball will do is let me select reboot. Man my DX was easy compared to the one click method.
HELP PLEASE,
If the trackball is having trouble scrolling, I'd install the trackball-optional custom recovery so you can use other buttons to scroll. There are instructions for doing this here:
http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/214240-amon_ra-1-6-2-custom-recovery-trackball-not-required.html
It sounds like you fall into "Scenario 2" which says you should follow the same method as "Scenario 1" to get rooted using the trackball-optional recovery.
I'll give it a shot, The help is much appreciated,
I am been trying to help him to get this thing to add the Custom Recovery, but every root format has not worked at all. Most are outdated or there are files missing. Specially on the link provided above. The download for the scripts no longer has Root_1 or Root_2, it has a bunch of other stuff there for gscript. Found an link on Droidforums for gscript for rooting and the scripts don't work.
Any complete instructions anywhere?

popfan,
I am not aware that any of the above links or files are missing... Can you point-out / tell me specifically which files you cannot access / download / link-to?
The root_part1 and root_part2 files are part of erisuser1's (bftb0's) Universal Root for Dummies! thread that I do reference in my AF thread, but these should still be up, active, and available.
So, I'm not sure if you are speaking about becoming rooted or installing a my trackball-optional custom recovery.
Let us know.
Cheers!
Im sure my kid has shuned me for leaving her Eris with someone so thanks to everyone for the help. Pop is helping me out and after moving file at the point where it says to open and look to see root 1 and root2 they are not there and there are a ton of other stuff. Also the pick look different than on the thread like the app has been updated. Also when doing the ball recovery there is no tools folder to be found. I'm sure pop wont touch it again till tomorrow so any other help / advice is more than welcome or it may cost me my Dx

LOL, sorry, didn't make/see the connection between your two posts .
Okay, let's try something new here...
Just a week or so ago, I re-packed jcase's 1-click rooting app to include my trackball-optional recovery image in lieu of the original recovery that his app includes.
So, let's have you re-root using the new 1-click app (all credit to jcase, both for his app and his threads both here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742228 and over at AF http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/139178-universal-1-click-eris-app-apk-no-pcs-no-scripts-needed-easy.html).
Since you've already used the 1-click app before, then all you'll have to do is grab my new "trackball-optional" version:
https://sites.google.com/site/scaryalienware/downloads/one-click-tbo.apk
MD5 sum: 15763b51cf707c027cc73bc117e1fc39
(the "tbo" in the name stands for "trackball optional" ).
Just follow the same process you did before while running the 1-click app and you should end-up with my trackball-optional recovery installed.
Let me know how it goes (you'll be the first besides me that I know of that has tried it; the user that I created it for to test has not yet responded, LOL).
Cheers!
I tried this link below. It no longer has the root_1 and root_2 in it.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=774XYFRA
I did use your "updated" 1-click app with tbo and it worked great.
Thanks!!
Too bad this phone was not as easy as my captivate.

Glad that jcase's repackaged app worked for you. I'll update my documentation to make this available to others.
Also, re. the above Megaupload link...it works just fine for me (from my PC and from my Droid X) and includes all of the aforementioned root_part1/2 files.
I think you've fallen prey to a truncated download, which is not uncommon with Megaupload in my experience. This is also why is important to double-check the file sizes and MD5 checksums of files that you download so that you know you got the whole-shebang; notice that erisuser1 did include the MD5 in his thread for this file:
- Download gscript.zip (MD5 92796a8c6e61e8f1ee36e315c0acae7d)
I've often found it helpful to use a different browser other than the stock browser (like Opera Mini) when doing downloads via my Eris since the stock browser does seem to have more issues (timeouts perhaps) than it should.
Cheers!

I downloaded CyanogenMod7.1.0 RC1 [2.3.5 GingerBread NIGHTLY]
from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944430&highlight=ROM
Got it up but it has no market so I can not get to titanium, boot loader or anything... It says to flash google apps after the rom but now Im back to the trackball / volume key issue because it's all in titanium. ??? I did a factory reset and it came back up as the new ROM, ???
EDIT UPDATE!!!!
Sorry for the hassle all, the "green" start call button works as the down after the download.. All is well.. I think..
Again thanks to you all, If I hear of any good deals on an Eris I will know why.
You need to download GAPPS to your sdcard. That is why you don't have market.

Hi,
I'm definetly a pro user, I've owned and moded:
- Motorola Milestone
- Motorola Atrix
- HTC Magic
- Samsung Galaxy S2
My Roomate has a HTC legend and need me to root it and install a custom rom.
PROBLEM: The usb connection no longer works (since I cracked it open to change the broken digitizer). I have a micro SD card reader so I am able to copy files to the card.
I'm reading though the guides and many download links are dead.
I need someone to get me started. Can I just copy a zip file to the SD card and use CWM to flash a custom rom thats already rooted? If so, do I need the usb cable to get it into recovery?
Look on the android development sticky you'll find everything you need good luck
Sent from my HTC Legend
Well that was my first effort. Although many links are dead and stop me from doing what I need to and the information is very spread out.
There is no guide telling me specifically if I can simply flash/run CWN from the SD card and then flash a ROM Without a usb cable. There was mention in some guides that the USB cable is needed for recovery mode.
So this is why I made this thread.
The Legend has been *****ed about as a really hard device to get root on, compared to the Desire, DInc, Hero, Eris, etc.
With that said, I don't remember how exactly I did it, but I remember there were a few steps before putting update.zip on the root of my SD. It's unfortunate that the links are dead, but I'm sure there are other sources fragmented around these forums that may be of help. I also think it's a bit more complicated if Froyo's already loaded onto it.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, it was so long ago, and I wanted it over with. It really is quite different from other devices.
Goldcard is made.
Now if I'm running 2.2 on this thing, does it mandate a downgrade? How do I find out if I am on 1.31?
If I AM on 1.31, will I need to be connected to a computer via USB to downgrade?
Can I do it over wifi maybe?

I have been real busy working on this trying to get some progress down.
There is a new alpha package for this @
http://iswarm.net/x2boot-alpha2.tgz
PLEASE DO NOT DISTRIBUTE THIS
It will be changing often and i dont want older versions floating around.
If you download your own and keep it to yourself people will always have the
newest version.
Please only mess with this if you know what you are doing.
I can and WILL NOT support it here in this thread.
Most of the action has been going down on IRC.
I have set up a new channel for this is in
#X2-AOSP on freenode
This thread is for the discussion of where to go next.. tricks, techniques to debugging a foreign ROM on our 2nd-init boot.
@ this point i have had varying success in booting cm7, still allot of bugs in logcat, and still getting a bootloop.
Please only chime in if you have any ideas or thoughts related to this.
You may be able to find support for the test package on IRC.
This thread is NOT for speculation, or questions.
This is NOT about replacing our kernel.
We really could use the help of some experienced dev's in this en-devour.
Thanks again for all the support and encouragement.
Hit the thanks button if ya like.. its free
It takes a good amount of knowledge to set up.
The more i have to help people with the basics the less time i have to work on this.
If you've got some skillz and can answer questions for folks then your help is needed and appreciated on IRC
To be honest if ya cant @ least get this setup without ALLOT of questions then you will be more of a hindrance then help in this process. Thats not to say we dont need testers.. just that the need for testers cant take all my time as then we will have no progress.
Starting to feel pretty alone in this. Are there no others out there with an x2 with some linux experience who knows their way around an adb shell, that can help?

Hey, I'd like to help abit. However - I don't actually get the point - What is the problem? I can't clearly figure it out from first 10 posts of all threads linked, I don't have X2 unfortunately, and don't feel like reading 300+posts from all threads. I can only guess you're on similiar point as we are with Badadroid.
For me running custom ROM (own kernel build+platform) looks like:
- compile kernel with needed changes (or own ARMLinux port based on CodeAurora or AOSP kernel and stock released sources)
- compile AOSP or manufacturer based platform
- adjust initramfs to match device layout, loading proprietary libraries if needed, consider using AOSP init or manufacturer init binary
- put it together and boot
Correct me if you need to and tell me try to tell me where are you stuck.Try to explain current problem in one of the threads and post all logs you can get. What about UART logs? These are very, very helpful (if not mandatory, unless you're freakin development master) in early kernel/bootloader development.
I'll pay a visit to your IRC soon.
//edit:
Okay, guys on IRC explained me abit, still counting on some logs.
Can't, gotta use motos kernel.

We have had a bootstrap for many months and already have pseudo-roms, and they've already got a working 2nd-init.
Now they're working on getting an AOSP/CM7 ROM to boot.

Is this realty a different cwr? Could it help you guys?
From my post:
Snip
I noticed after uninstalling system recovery that it still worked w/ a battery pull. I remember now where the /preinstall files must have come from: I was fooling w/ rom manager as I was going to sbf anyway and I downloaded and booted as many recoveries as I could until I crashed. I crashed on the Atrix but think it was the Dx regular (not 2nd init) that loaded.
Snip
1)paste to /preinstall: the 5 files and set perms to rwxrwxrwx but adbd: rw-rw-rw-.
2)Change charge_only_mode ( your original in system/bin) to .bak. Then paste the 2 /bin files (less the .not file) set perms to rwxrwxrwx.
3)Then .recovery_mode goes in /data perms to rw-rw-rw-. Power off. Pull battery and put it back in. Plug in. CWR!

That very well could help. The eventual goal is to change USB Early Enum to boot into CWR and then normal boot (2nd init) into your rom. The current one is sorta working with it but we do not have adb in it.

Update 1-21-12
Ok, 1KDS ran into a small, well maybe not small, issue. The way the whole process works would require a large amount of RAM for the process to run properly. It's in the order of 6+ gigs because the scripts set up and run the operation in RAM. Since most people don't have that much RAM the project is on hold until a solution presents itself. I would like to thank 1KDS for looking into this. If anyone has ideas, feel free to post up.
Previous Info:
Ok, guys here's the deal. The dev is aware of what I'm asking and is looking into possibly doing this for us. Remember these simple requests:
1) Don't ask for ETA's. Enough said.
2) If a question is asked that needs your answers/input, please give it.
3) If he is successful, and I have to stress "IF', he will need testers. Please do, I know I definitely will.
And Finally
4) If you can, donate/support, he's doing this for YOU!
Previous Post:
Ok Here's an update. I pm'd the creator over at DXF and he has said it's pretty involved. He has said:
" It's pretty involved, it may be easier to make one myself. If you can link me the SBF file, instructions to get into the bootloader or wherever you flash from, instructions to factory reset afterward, and what root method is used for the MoPho I can work on one."
So I'm going to provide the info. My question to my fellow MoPho users is "Would you be willing to support and/or donate to him for his work on this?" If he's going to be nice enough to do this we should be nice enough to support him for his efforts. I'll update this as I find more info.

Original Post:
Have a question, how would one go about creating an automated Linux bootable CD with all the scripts and files to make it easier to SBF a MoPho?
I came from the Droid X and there was a file I downloaded that was in a word - awesome. Insert CD, boot from it, plug in phone, choose option 1, and viola!!! In a few minutes your device was flashed back to stock, no fuss no mess.
I'm a MoPho-er
I wish I could help, but IDK how to do that bub, try making a post in the Droid X Forums, ask for a dev to remake the files to boot on a CD and use this SBF file ---- use this link to download it.
See if that helps, someone may be able to make that CD.
Just thought I'd ask. It's been a few years since I dabbled with linux, Red-Hat was my last venture (10-12 years ago). I'll look at how the cd and the scripts are set up. I can probably figure it out.
I'm a MoPho-er
Let me know if you or someone can get it to work, I'd be very interested.
I think I can get it to work, just have to get the scripts right. Gonna take a fews days. I'm gonna post over at DXF and ask the person who creates them for some input.

I'm linking this thread here as it has all the tools and info needed (hopefully) to create a bootable SBF CD.

1KDS to the rescue!!!!!!!!
Thanks, your work is awesome!!!!!!

I'm a MoPho-er
I looked at Shabby's script, looks pretty much like the Droid 3 method, I can use his script though, there may be a piece I'm not seeing that affects the MoPho. Does it work on the newest SBF/firmware?
I used it to root mine. Took it out of the box and it updated to the latest as soon as I activated it. I rooted about three days later and had success on the first try.
Edit: I don't know about the latest SBF, but (uneducated guess here) I would imagine it should.
I'm a MoPho-er
Alright guys, been busy but I'm ready to start on this new image, couple questions...
There was an SBF file posted on page 1, is that one preferred? I see there is a newer one out there.
Can someone post some clear instructions on getting into the bootloader or RSD mode and instructions for stock recovery to factory reset?
Is there a preferred bootstrap/clockwork? If one is preferred and offered free from the dev I can add a script to install it for you after rooting.
I hope I can give good info here, no one else is stepping up and I'm not fully "up to speed" on my MoPho yet. There's much I haven't tried because I'm "RSD skiddish". When I had my Droid X RSD and I just wouldn't "get along", so I'm not familiar with it. Hence the reason I loved the bootable CD.
For SBF files I think 198_6 is the latest official release. From what I understand 198_7 is out, but it's a leaked package as Sprint never released it.
As for CWM, there is one available, a thread is devoted to it. I think the version is 5.. dot something and it was made specifically for the Photon. It requires the bootloader to be unlocked as well, I believe. Thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218417
For all the other steps there is a thread by qbking77 that has videos instructing how to root, flash, unlock, install CWM, etc. here:

SliTaz (the Linux distro I use for these images) boots into RAM and my machine simply doesn't have enough RAM to unzip the file and stay stable, if I had more RAM I could make the iso but very few people would be able to use it as they would need 6+ gigs of RAM to run it. For now I'm putting this project on hold until I think of something else or a smaller SBF file is released. Sorry guys.
Ouch!!!!

Thanks for looking into it, though. I was curious why one didn't exist yet. I guess that would be a good reason why. I guess I'm just gonna have to break down and make RSD and me get along so I can do some modding to my MoPho.

Question. Would a "virtual" environment work or is something like that just way to involved to work?
Edit:
Don't know if "virtual" is the right thought or not. I may have been thinking "RAM Disk" setup.

Yeah, I use VirtualBox to build the images, my laptop has 4 gigs of RAM and I allocate around 2.5GB to the virtual machine so the machine stays stable and I can't even unzip it within that amount of memory. Like I said, even if I can build the image only a few people would be able to use it since it is so massive.
