glad you found the way out..I'm sorry, I cant be on the forum all the time, but I do try to help whenever possible..

bro , i got some question here
how to upgrade my firmware to 2.0 ?

the devs at xda-developers are porting the leak android eris 2.1....it works but it is still unstable..many problems like auto brightness,gps,mms..huge battery drain...for now just stick with 1.5 until htc officially release the 2.1 update.

Fuiyo....lucky for me my liquid showin non of those issues runnin the 'copied' 2.1 version

aiyooo...

what's taking them so looonng to release 2.1... i lazy to flash again when the official one comes out

Hi Shahz
I just bought my HTC HERO on Saturday and was trying to root it (its been a day since I've tried) and it was a pain as I'm really a noob when it comes to tech.

Anyway, I read your guide, tried, failed, tried again, failed countless times (got me so darn frustrated)

It was due to my build which is the 2.73.709......I did create the goldcard but didn't know what went wrong that I couldn't downgrade the stupid thing argh!

In the end I combined both your guide and the unlockr's and I finally did it!

Took your files and followed the unlockr's one click root method and managed to root it Now I'm running on Villian 3.2 rom and its wonderful!

Thank you so much for being such a help!

Congratulations!!!!!!
I am very impressed and salute you for doing everything on your own.

Aiyooo...not everything on my own lah...I did consult guides okay...without them I for sure will not be able to do it However, reading through them gives me a bit of a headache as I'm no techie... Mind over matter XD

Hey there,
That's not a problem at all. I tried my best to keep it as understandable and followable as possible. My Hero was among the very first few builds too, and didn't require goldcard method. But along the line, I did root some with goldcard method and they were flawless with my tute too. Wanted to put it up, but then, I realized more people were learning (just like you did) and I already had posted enough stuff to kick the ignition. SO I didn't include it in.

Congrats on rooting success Welcome to the android community. Meet our friends in the N1 thread I started. Lots of fun and interesting chat goin on there

Thanks to you I managed
N1 thread? Am I allowed there? Lol but I have no N1 XD

That's not a problem at all We do not only share N1 stuff there of course..or you can have fun in the Hero thread too..

wow,

the community really grow now.. Managed to write a programme for civil engineering purposes. Full of bugs and force closure a lot.. dropped my hero at site several times already.. lucky me .. still okay.. even dropped it in drains (with ponding water!!!)..

Have to get N1 after this.. Hero can be my "work" companion.

Shahz, N1 forum is bigger than hero ya? hehehe... Nice one.

shayppp, apparently that is what I have realized too..Those who venture into Android, Hero is a great start, and in the end they get the Nexus One..It applies to me too..

Some leaped the Hero step and went straight to Nexus One..Maybe that explains why the N1 community is growing faster Nevertheless, Android is Android..Regardless of the phone we own..

Gosh! I thought of getting the Hero and try out. But it seems to be quite a task.

Its actually not..Its just about doing it right She managed to root too in the end..And she claimed herself as not techie at all..

haha.. after u do it then u realize how easy the step really are.. the long sentence just to make people understand what they're doing..

Guys thanks

I will get one real soon.

Exactly..haha..I tried to not only just provide the methods, but also tell them what they are actually doing
