How to root a HTC hero (t-mobile version) on android 2.1 official - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello , I need a step by step guide , as jargon free as possible to root a HTC Hero(Tmobile version) on android 2.1 . I have tried the old 2009 Unlockr.com guide without results as well as numerous others.
Currently on 3 UK network.

Me too.
I can second the above!

here is how i rooted my hero on tmobile uk
first go into settings then click on the option applictions then click on on unknown source
go here on your http://theunlockr.com/down/UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.apk or here if that link does not work http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FJA3L8YZ you can do this on your phone
if you downloads on the computer plug your phone to your usb and mount it and then move the file you download to your phone
if you done it on your phone just go into downloads and click the file you just download and it should install
if you have done it a pc and have moved it onto your sdcard you need to download a file manager just go into the android market and type in astro file manager then find your you move the to and click on it then click on open app manager and then click install
after it finishes installing open the app and press root and your root
next go into the android market and type in rom manager install the free version
when it is opened press the flash clockworkmod recovery and then after it finishes flashing the recovery image press reboot into recovery then it will say are you sure you want to root into clockworkmod recovery click ok
now to are root and ready to install custom roms
hope this helps

I have same problem but the biggest one i cant download Rom manger on the phone dont know what to do

erm.... how would you install RomManager on an unrooted device?
I got the german T-Mobile G2 Touch [HTC Hero] with had stock android 2.1 with sense,
I needed to create a Goldcard (Tutorials out there) and then was able to use universal AndROOT to root the device... there is a tutorial in this forum, will post the link if i find it again, named something like "Complete Noobie guide to ROOT and install a custom ROM" or something, this in combination with the use of Goldcardtool (Program, to find on google ) worked like a charm
greets, Summoner
PS: Thx for pressing the "Thanks" button if i was able to help you
edit: Found Link!
look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253
if that doesn't work out of the box, search for "HTC Hero T mobile Goldcard tool" or something like this on Google, there are tutorials and the program does the big work for you, you just need to put your sd card in pc, run the program, register to the opening website, receive the goldcard image via email, flash it to your sd card (program does for you), put card back in and continue wih the tutorial above

Ok,, i got the recovery image installed.. :)

Hi all
Ok,, im a bit of a complete newcomer to modding and customizing phones and the like... and through some miracle i managed to get The patched Hero recovery image from Cyanogen installed permanently on my Hero (G2 Touch)
Just 1 quick question.. does this mean my phone is now rooted? or is that a completely different thing altogether?....
Now if i could only pluck up the courage to install the custom rom.. lol.. Which was my other question actualy.. does the phone need to be rooted before i can install Modaco`s rom?
Many thanks in advance,,, please be gentle.. its a whole new world for me
This was all new to me until I found this site a month ago!
Yes it is rooted.
Download Modaco's latest Rom to your computer.
Rename the file 'update.zip'
Mount your phones sd card on the computer and copy the file over.
Restart your phone holding down the power and home keys.
From the list presented, scroll to 'sd card - update.zip'
Press OK, the when it's finished reboot.
Modaco 2.2 is a great, stable, & fast ROM.

if you have only installed the recovery image the technically you are not rooted as only the recovery environment will have root access.
When the phone is in normal operation you will not have root access.
To get root access you will Have to follow one of the guides to gain root access.
The above steps re: madaco's rom will give you root however he (maodac) also has guides for installing an updated radio which i would also suggest installing.
Again it's an update.zip and the are instructions on his site.
Hope all goes ok!!

... hope all goes ok????
very reassuring!

If you did Rescue backdoor,
Then you must download the ISC from Condi’s page,
Put that file on your "External SD"
Then check if you have debugging on ( On your tab )
1. Connect your tab with your PC.
2. Open Condi's AiO Tool 2.7
3. Use Option 3
4. Use Option 1 and follow the steps.
5. The program will ask you something twice choose yes for both.
6. The program will put something on your pc in the folder from Condi. in '_signed' folder that file you have to copy to your external SD/
- Take card out insert in pc.
- Transfer that file.
- Don't forget to replace your SD card before you continue.
7. Run option 4 "Disable recovery signature" that’s in the "Custom rom and flashing Submenu"
8. Follow the instructions,
9. The device will reboot and you must restart it with pressing Volume up + Power and if the Sony mark appears release only the Power button.
10. When in recovery menu choose install from SD Card and choose "_hack_recovery"
11. Like its said in Condi's tool it will fail and that’s ok
12. Again install zip from SD and the screen will flash and restart Recovery
- Don't worry that’s normal
13. then again choose install from SD and choose "custom_signed_update.zip"
And relax, don’t forget waiting is gold, if you take out the SD card or remove the USB you will have a chance that you brick your device.
Guys buy Condi a beer for his great inventions.

Root Huawei Y200 Succesfully (ENGLISH)

Hi, I've successfully rooted my phone. I have a Huawei Y200.it might be easier if you waited for OneClickRoot do be launched maybe they have the device listed for auto flashing that does everything for you.
OneClickRoot: ==> I can't post links sorry ..New User, please search on internet..
But anyway, here's the batch file I think I uploaded it..
So its easy once you root it, but WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL CLOCKWORK MODE AGAIN THROUGH ROM Manager OR ANY SOURCE. (this might bring you into bootloop)
follow steps to use the batch file...
1- You need to do this on your phone: Allow USB Debugging and STAY AWAKE Function, STOP fastboot mode. Now Install ADB Drivers when connecting phone into computer via usb and debugging mode is on (you'll see a drive usually green on your computer, check for "drivers" inside driver folders and install windows drivers.
2- You need to install Android SDK : ==> New User, Can't post links, Search Android SDK..
navigate to default download location: " C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools ", shift + right click inside the folder with nothing selected, and run command prompt from there. run following command "adb devices" and it should list a device number.
3- Now exctract the zip file in attachement and run these in order: -"adb.exe" then -"fastboot.exe" then -"root_v5.2.bat". It should say a succesfull message and ( as i remember) phone should reboot (if it states "reboot phone now" in cmd prompt). now you shoudl be rooted and see "SuperUser" application installed.
4- Check if you're properly rooted with a "rootchecker" market app. If App requested root access by SuperUser (ofcourse you'll tap Accept right?) and says you have proper root, you can now jump around and scream " I rooted my phone" like i did... You can now Install Link2sd app and enjoy free enternal storage since you've rooted your phone... Any Directions using Link2sd repost or you can search internet... One limitation is you can'r use swap (to increase your RAM ), and have to go through different ROM's. If rooted your phone succesfully please inform and on any questions about ROM switching...
Hi there.
The root process isn't so hard , bit the rom switch what would be important for me (not the method, i know that and i'we installed modified recovery its working...)
Went to hell and back @google to find any custom roms for this little fckr but besides the clean base rom and the ics por (whats not working for me) i could not find any other rom. Sorry my bad i have found one origonal stock rom too, bit besides theese do you know is there any other roms exists for u8655?
anyone try the above method?
is there anyone try the above method for English version?
An earlier version, on hungarian with english and german language included... worked perfect. Since 6 months.

This procedure is for CWM, not for root.The root phone you must copy superuser.signed 3.0.7 on memory card, and boot phone in cwm, and install zip from sd card/choose zip from sd card/superuser.signed3.0.7/yes, and reboot system now, when is proces for install zip over.Then your phone is rooted, you think because write ROOT_V5.0.2 it is for root-NO, this for install CWM.

Hi there
I did a research about this lock and i found a modified kernel what is capable of unlocking again the bootloader. (Claimed by the author, that it should solwe rhe issue)
Please tell me, since i did not upgraded the firmware due to the issue, could it be true?
Because i did not found any feedback from the users who tried it.
Can we count on another unlockibg method, or is this true that the bl can be unlocked via adb kerbel flash?
Thanks in advance.
I found an information on the german android-board
--> http://www.android-hilfe.de/huawei-ascend-y200-forum/414947-b898.html#post5670959
Fuchsteufel told us, that the recovery is working, but only with adb-commands, without any screen.
The solution is to flash an new version of the kernel and the cwm

Root SHV-E220S Android v4.4.4 PDA: E220SKSU0CNL2

Hi
As you may know, after almost a year an update is released for SHV-E220S. Because this phone is limited to SKT Carrier in Korea, nobody cares about it. But do not be afraid. Here I am ready to help you root your updated phone.
I don't know why but any of the conventional methods don't work on the SHV-E220S. Believe me, I tried vRoot, Towelroot, z4root, Framaroot, CF-Auto-Root, etc. with no success. But the following method works like a charm.
Before beginning, I should thank the "www.sayanogen.com" guy who provided the custom ClockworkMod recovery called SH. So thank you man!
Requirements: SHV-E220S, SD Card, ODIN
1. First of all, because you can't normally, i.e. without root permissions, access the SD card via file managers in the to-be-upgraded Android 4.4.4, you need to download the "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip" from the following link which contains "SuperSU" binary files made by Chainfire and put it on your "SD card" before upgrading.
- Don't put the file on your "Phone Memory" because CWM recovery can't access it.
- Do not extract the file. Put the ".zip" file, as is, on your SD card.
http://download.chainfire.eu/641/SuperSU/
2. After finishing the file transfer, you need to update your phone to the latest firmware which is currently E220SKSU0CNL2 Rom. You can use OTA, Kies, or ODIN method. Feel free to use your favorite method. For ODIN, you should download the following file from SamMobile page and update your phone via the instructions specified in that page.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/40233/E220SKSU0CNL2_E220SSKT0CNL2_SKT.zip
3. After you have upgraded your phone using ODIN, restart the phone and let it do its work. After the phone finished upgrading, reboot again into download mode by pressing and holding Volume Down + Home + Power, followed by Volume Up and load the "GalaxyPOP_CWM_SH", from the attachment, into "AP / PDA" section of ODIN window and Hit "start".
4. Now you have CWM recovery on your device. Enter Recovery by holding "Volume Up + Home + Power" buttons. Select "Install zip from SD Card" and load "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip" file.
5. Well Done :good: You've just successfully rooted your phone.
6. Press the "Thanks!" button .
Thanks So Much
Thanks @whoknowshimself I just rooted and updated my phone as you've described above. Thanks fit the effort
yeah, it works fine. i want to know about ROM for this device, which one is suitable working fine and light weight?
thanks very much to help ROOT

Requirements: SHV-E220S, SD Card, ODIN
1. First of all, because you can't normally, i.e. without root permissions, access the SD card via file managers in the to-be-upgraded Android 4.4.4, you need to download the "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip" from the following link which contains "SuperSU" binary files made by Chainfire and put it on your "SD card" before upgrading.
- Don't put the file on your "Phone Memory" because CWM recovery can't access it.
- Do not extract the file. Put the ".zip" file, as is, on your SD card.
http://download.chainfire.eu/641/SuperSU/
2. After finishing the file transfer, you need to update your phone to the latest firmware which is currently E220SKSU0CNL2 Rom. You can use OTA, Kies, or ODIN method. Feel free to use your favorite method. For ODIN, you should download the following file from SamMobile page and update your phone via the instructions specified in that page.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/40233/E220SKSU0CNL2_E220SSKT0CNL2_SKT.zip
3. After you have upgraded your phone using ODIN, restart the phone and let it do its work. After the phone finished upgrading, reboot again into download mode by pressing and holding Volume Down + Home + Power, followed by Volume Up and load the "GalaxyPOP_CWM_SH", from the attachment, into "AP / PDA" section of ODIN window and Hit "start".
4. Now you have CWM recovery on your device. Enter Recovery by holding "Volume Up + Home + Power" buttons. Select "Install zip from SD Card" and load "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip" file.
5. Well Done :good: You've just successfully rooted your phone.
6. Press the "Thanks!" button .

TRY it at your own risks
seems odd. but you can also try to manipulate network modes in SKT menus using codes
in dialer
319712358
password
996412
change settings to its default like Full/Auto etc.
OR YOU CAN ALSO TRY (if rooted) using root explorer
navigate
/system/csc
on that folder edit "sales_code.dat" something like that.. and change 'SKT' to blank or nothing else just erase the "SKT"..
save it..reboot
there on settings/more networks/mobile networks
you'll have mobile network mode.. select GSM only for better signals for CALLs and SMS..
select "WCDMA" for 3G mobile data... but you will lose 'LTE'
better off you have Firmware Backups..
hope it helps.
sorry im not that good in english

5.0 Released for Mini..maybe?

Just saw this on the official Nubia page, appears to be android 5.0 with split partitions for Nubia Z7 mini dual sim:
http://www.nubia.cn/service.php?sid=5
(use translate)
Has anyone tried this? or seen it before?
I am rooted and gapped so I am a few versions behind as I lost OTA abilities, has anyone got this OTA? Would prefer to do it via this method than using their tool.
EDIT:
Looks like tomorrow is the day:
Dear Cowboys: Hello, everyone! Thank you very much for the concern and support of Nubia. We have been trying to improve the user experience of the system, but also endeavor to provide stable version, on Friday, we will publish Z7, Z7mini, Z7Max, the official version Z9mini and X6, the beta version Z9Max and subsequent versions will continue to update . We will soon open Z9Max, Z9mini recruiting closed beta, so stay tuned Oh! For nubia UI you have any questions and suggestions are welcome to nubia UI area or issue recommendations section exchanges. Once again, thank you for your patience. Nubian because you have more exciting! nubia team 2015-7-8
new stable Lollipop for mini's been officially released
link( in Chinese): http://pan.baidu.com/s/1hqGSezy (password:5mpy , MD5: 2651F3539381AA0B12A21B54729E2EBD )
Above rom can only be upgraded via official upgrade software: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1bnc0J1d (password: 2mua)
Be warned if u choose this one u must use the upgrade software I gave in the link, because there's some changes to the software, using old ones will cause boot loop.
Be warned using this method will lose all ur personal data and apps. U can only upgrade using this method if ur current rom is official 1.82 (4.4 Kitkat) or 2.03, 3.01 (5.0 Lollipop), if using other roms, CM or YIOS for example, the upgrade software will refuse to continue >_<. However, using MIUI6 is OK, because it is based on official 1.82.
recovery zip ROM: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1pJxaYM3 (passowrd:el1j, MD5: 4C409536B1124A86E65F1B66E94E0C2C)
This zip file can be flashed using both official and CM based recovery, provided ur current ROM is official 3.01, otherwise boot loop is also expected
As the files are too large, the only way to download them is by install a clound file management program issued by Baidu. Blame Nubia for not using cloud disk with English support
download link of Baidu cloud file manager:http://bcscdn.baidu.com/netdisk/BaiduYunGuanjia_5.2.7.exe
Just an FYI for other users lookign to upgrade.
My update went well. I installed 1.82 via custom reocvery method. This lost all data but thats what i wanted, to start fresh.
the I used the nubia updater tool to flash the 3.12 rom.
Once the rom is loaded, you will find a lot of junk chinese apps so you will want to clear those out and of course no root or google apps.
here is how to achieve this:
Root - download kingroot pak file from google, run it and you will have root. Its a bit bloaty, you can uninstall all the apps it creates except kinguser (this is the equivalent of superSu) - would be interested to now if anyone else has found a root method that works.
Install custom recovery:
https://mega.co.nz/#!fsMXSC6A!2Vpqy2SGIC_WbFAqNgzE6WgArW2vaWha-zwp_o7yvqE
Enable USB debugging
extract nx507j_twrp_2_8_5_0_NEW archive
connect phone via usb
run recovery.bat
(thanks to another xda user for this)
Boot into the recovery, and install:
pa_gapps-modular-mini-5.0.1-20150418-signed.zip
(google for that file, others may work but this is minimal and does what you need)
Once rebooted, open playstore, enter your gmail, then your contacts and calendar will be synced!
install an app like links2sd or root uninstall and start clearing out all of the garbage apps.
That should be enough to get you started. I will attempt to install xposed tomorrow.

So I seem to be stuck. I had used the nubia updater to get to 2.03 and rooted and dropped in TWRP. After that I did a TWRP backup. Next I did the usual steps and flashed CM12. Now I want to update again; but, my backup file of 2.03 is corrupted and won't boot. When I try to use the nubia update tool it doesn't see the phone even though it says the driver is installed correctly. I have also tried the steps that @rx1 posted on 7 May, but that hasn't worked yet. In my device manager settings it has Android Phone with a dropdown that says Android Composite ADB Interface and the driver is installed correctly. However, a little further in the list it says Other Devices and lists Android with the yellow exclamation. Despite what I try it won't find the driver for that one. It's confusing because one says it is correctly installed (as does the Qualcomm Drivers installer) and the other does not. Ohh, and when I look at my computer (sorry not a PC guy, borrowing from a friend) under Devices with Removable Storage, the phone shows as a DVD player. Any ideas or help out here?
Sorry, posted in wrong thread.
I think you wiped system when you installed CM 12 or later . Your phone has already merged partitions and you don't need Nubia Tools anymore.
- Go to TWRP
- Downlod form PC a 3.01 or 3.12 ROM , preferable rooted .
- install it after wipe only " factory reset " .
If your PC can't see the phone ( only as DVD ) ....try to re-install CM 12 from phone .
The only driver that works:
uninstall all existing items form your device manager, disconnect phone
download package: https://mega.co.nz/#!GN9GSQZL!F4ZMFAPPJKR8VBM0wqPWTaBB2Fuv6C1Go0bFl3fD6SM
run it and select option 1 install drivers
reconnect phone
(dont use this tool for anything other than dirvers on z7 mini.
Also agree with poster above you shouldn't be using nubia tool to flash a cm ROM. Use the instructions cm provide.

Thanks for your help. Although, I will say that I used TWRP to flash CM12, not the nubia updater. I do know that much. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but it seems one of you is saying that I should use the update tool to get to 3.01 or 3.12 and the other seems to say flash it with TWRP; am I misunderstanding something here?
---------- Post added at 10:40 ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 ----------
The package says Z7Max? Is it actually for the mini?
Yes, as I said above only use this tool to install drivers. They are the same. Don't use it for anything else on a mini.

Thanks. That was my only problem. I had been using the wrong drivers. It worked quick and simple, just like it did before.
First of all hello everyone since this is my 1st post
I upgraded to official 3.01 Lollipop and I want to ask if it is possible to install playstore without root since I want to run an app that won't work if the phone is rooted and I can't find it anywhere else other than playstore, otherwise I would be just fine without all the google apps.
Alternatively would it work if I installed a pre rooted ROM and then unroot it, is that possible?
Hope this thread is suitable for these questions and thanx in advance to anyone that can help.
What app is it called? Maybe I can find it on play store then send you the apk install file.
It's called OTE TV GO but from what I've read even if you can find the apk it will not work unless you have downloaded it from your device.
Well I don't know how much luck you will have because it shows as incompatible with my device. (maybe because Im root?)
Anyways the way to do it is, either from chrome or firefrox install this extension on your PC
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/.../cgihflhdpokeobcfimliamffejfnmfii?hl=en&gl=VN
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/apk-downloader/
go into the options and enter your device ID and email etc. then yeah just do as it says, go to the playstore then the extension will allow you to directly download the apk file then copy it and then install to your device.
Second option is, there is a app called "rootcloak" that will hide the fact you are rooted from any apps you choose to, so in theory the playstore and ota thing wont know you have root.
I tried the firefox extension but when I try to download any app I get "Cannot download this app.
Login session has expired or your email and device ID are incorrect/not activated on Google Play app"
Will try second option as soon as possible. Thanx anyway
