Maybe i'll try tonight one last time. (By the way your 1st step involving the command prompt works, but it just cant find the RA.img) That's why i use the "once click" method from overlockr. So basically what i'll do:

1. Restore hero to original state. SEA firmware
2. Install flashrec
3. Flash Hero.img
4. Boot, invoke through "home & power" button
5. Perform nand backup
6.Wipe
7.Update generic (update.zip)
8. update radio
9.update MCR 2.9
10.update enhance
11.update boot sound
12. reboot

Anything i miss?

I did once more, this time restoration via Sprite backup just after running update & radio. Only thereafter I run mcr update

He faces the same problem as I had. The command, syntax & directory are correct. It just can't find the img. I forego that step and use overlockr one click method.

Teknologist's Kernel 1.8 is included in MCR 2.9, install it ONLY IF you are on MCR2.8 and below.

Does that meant we need to run on MCR 2.8 or we can root directly to 2.9 from stock original/official rom.

Suggestion, you can install any apps using the newer HTC Sync, so there's no need to download Apps manager prior to root.

Try on another laptop/desktop first. It might be that your laptop/dekstop are "messy". Happened to me once.

Hi Shahz & all sifus,

I'm a Noob. just curious, I just bought a new Hero with build number 2.73.707.9 146733 CL#62020 release-keys.  Do I need to downgrade it first in order to root? It has Adroid Market inside already.

Many thanks

Anyone tried Hero Android ROM : Hik@Ri_2.0.1.4_1?
