Whats the easiest way to root the Hero? ie: One click, it auto roots. Any software like blackrain for the hero? cry.gif

So complicated to root based on the instructions and scared to do it! sweat.gif

First, i install the patched recovery image, then download the custom rom and copy it to your SD card
- Enter the recovery image (if you're not in it already) by powering on while pressing 'home'
- Select 'nandroid backup' from the menu to do a backup
- If you copied the custom rom as update.zip, select 'apply sdcard:update.zip', else select the option below.
- all done

am I missing anything?

Can i do the recovery image thing and still be able to use my hero like usual?

I dont know how simpler can rooting be already..You saw the tute that I posted? It is long but its not impossible. I've made as noobish as possible already. You just need something done without any efforts and that's impossible. I have hundreds of users who used my guide already and so far it has been a zero fail thingy.

Even leviathan's method is already provided to you. If you really don't bother to even try it, I would say just use the stock ROM instead of rooting it. We provide free stuff for you already, all you ever needed was just download, read, and use it. How easier could it be?

I'm really sorry if my comment is harsh, but I don't think these guys should even bother to help you if this is the what you request help. All of these were in your place before and they have done rooting all by themselves. Some had went through tough times too, but nevertheless they had put their efforts and took the initiative to at least understand why are they rooting.

Leviathan's method looks good, im following it. Sorry if I offended you before, Im just scared of the consequences

Must I restart my com after doing that?

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;F:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;F:\androidsdk\tools\

That is mine now. Is it correct?
