Thanks for this amazing post - I registered to this forum specially, just so that I could thank you!!!
I used this guide to root my new HTC Hero.

A few of things I thought I should add:
1) The command:

would reboot my phone and bring up a menu, with which I wasn't able to do much and the Command Prompt would say No Device Found...
2) To solve the above I used FlashRec to flash the Recovery image
3) The "63.18.55.06FU_6.35.07.08.zip" file had some additional OSX files in the archive, which caused package verification to fail when installing - once removed using WinRAR it worked fine
4) Once this was working, I upgraded to the 2.9 Modaco ROM by downloading the ROM and Radio file from Modaco - I installed the ROM first, then the radio
5) The 2.9 ROM came with 1.8 Teknologist kernel, is this as good as the 1.7 one mentioned in this topic? Or should I downgrade?

Once again, thanks for the instructions to rooting my Hero. I really wanted to install apps to my 8GB Class 6 MicroSD instead of phone memory.

Now I'm having a look at the SDK and might try to learn how to code my own apps!

Hye...
Really love this thread...

Im quite new to android. And i really want to root my hero.. As i did to my previous WM phone..
I need your help bro...
Ive follow ur step.. I entered the fastboot..

ive run



it works fine..
then when im trying to



it displays "recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img not found"

Ive tried to use flashrec, but i dont know what to do in there, tried googled it but to no answer.. I have only the option to "restore backup image"

My Kernel Ver is
2.6.27-8dd6deee

Build number
2.73.728.5

did u upload the recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img file to your SDcard root?
Flashrec flashes the recovery image on the phone. Thats what you are looking for Make sure you have all filenames correct when rooting..

Good Luck and welcome to Andoird world too

yep.. copied the image file in the sd... not in any directories..

do i need to use the goldcard method ?

i doubt it..are you using Hero or G1?

EDIT : the error msg is

Well, its rare, but I suggest you try the goldcard method then..Usually, flashrec.apk solves this problem..do update here for reference of other users..i would suggest you re-do the whole process once again though..

I'm getting error Failed on step 2. Now my cellular data is not working. APN is right but still not working. WLAN works fine. Any ideas guys. Thx.

I had the same problem and used this guide:
this guide
Once you've completed that guide, continue using this guide from Step 2

Shahz what is the DS_STORE FILE in your archive file?

Shahz! I'm running Win7. is the enviroment variable, double click on the path the same as winxp and vista??

Remove those DS_STORE files. I use mac and it generates those files automatically..if u are using win7,try the same procedures. If u can find 'environment variables', then it will work. Win 7 is the only is i didnt play android sdk on. I gave up on windows after their lousy vista
