Thanks again shahz, the reason behind why I asked is because on unlocker.com where they explain on rooting and stuff, they mention to use card reader. Grateful that you made a thread in the first place.

@shaz, I found out that using win7 its doesn't use a "," for its path system variables instead it uses a ";". it would look like somthing like this.
example : %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\androidsdk\tools


@leviathan, Its awesome to have people like you around. You made my day. You remind me that trolls makes me get through life. Thanks.

Before androidsdk-r3, the usbdrivers were included am I correct?
Now you have to manually get it using sdk program.
for win7 users you can go to the device manager by:
control panel> device manager> right click the unrecognized device (ADB)> update software> browse my folders > select the usbdriver once you have downloaded it.

i install sdk but win7 didnt detect my phone as an android device so i cant run adb scripts like adb shell reboot etc. so had to go install the usb driver in the sdk component. now its working smile.gif

haha, it was confusing at 1st. i'll add up some pics when i'm done with my mods.

about the enviroment variables i got pass that already. i was running the script of ra-recovery image then this came up; error device not detected.
so i assume the driver were not installed, my thoughts were right when i checked the device manager. downloaded usb drivers in sdk, now android device is detected.

LASTEST PROBLEM: i can't load the recovery image after adb shell reboot bootloader. it says cannot load "recovery-ra...."

02:14 - found recovery-ra-hero-1.3.2.img (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124)
02:15 - finally gave in to flashrec method.

02:22 - what do i do at flashrec again? there's phone type is ebI1/32A > blank space to type in > download recovery image which is unable to press > backup recovery image.


02:38 - read the unlocker. press backup image blah blah. got it working smile.gif

03:00 - finished with the rooted hero.

sleep.

11:09 - done with everything.

got a question how do i upgrade from recovery ra 1.2.3.img to 1.3.2? is it okay to just replace the files in the sdcard then use flashrec or will that result into my handphone being bricked?

p.s - where is the radio app?? i can't seem to find it

Shahz when updating Madaco ROM 3.0, I assume you just rename v3.zip to update.zip then recovery mode then install ?

Is this correct?

Thanks for the keyword search! okay so basicly what i'm getting from the 3.0 update is.
1) AN EXTREMELY increase wifi signal. (before I stayed in my room no wifi, now got)
2) usually when i use the lock2.0 there will be a tiny delay of screen transision, no more.
3) much more smoother htc sense ui.
