I am having serious issues rooting the HTC Hero. I have the Ukranian version, and in order to get the Android Market I need to root the phone to try this tool.
Here are some of the details on the version my phone is running:
Firmware - 1.5
Build - 2.73.495.24 146733 CL#67791 release-keys
If anyone knows an easy way to complete the rooting process on this phone - I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if someone knows how I could get Android Market it would be very helpful. I am located in the US, and using AT&T as my carrier.
Hi, see this thread I posted on modaco forums. It seems to be the same answer, so I'll link to it for your convenience.

Welcome to the forums
here is the procedure i used to root my hero
1) create a gold card (to bypass the cid check)
2) downgrade to an older htc generic rom
3) install flashrec
4) use flashrec to flash a recovery image
5) then from recovery you can root your device
there are loads of tutorials about, the best ones are on the http://theunlockr.com/ have a look there
Do you know of an easy way to create a goldcard?
there is no easy way to create a cold card, you need to use a hex editor to merge the goldcard and ur memory card, try this tutorial

Hi, I am new to this stuff and is about to buy a new HTC hero. I followed the link posted above and it says it is for an upgraded version of HTC hero. If I buy it new from the factory, is it upgraded? How can I check the version? If it is not upgraded, can I root it first and then upgrade it?
thank you
you can root any gsm hero using the tutorials in the android development secton and from that website i posted above, when i first got my hero and read all the steps needed i was a bit overwelmed especially comming from win mo where all u need to do is flash hard spl and ur off lol but just follow the steps one at a time and b4 u know it you'll be a pro
I did the instant root method with that app that utilizes a backdoor in the bluetooth on the phone. There's an app that's called Instant root at some google page. Then i used theunlockr guides to flash amon ra's recovery image and backed up my stock rom. From there i flashed modaco 3.0.
Now i am testing the kagudroid rom from lox.
Anyway, i would recommend theunlockr guides, as they are the easiest to follow imo.

Hello,
does anyone know how I can root or debrand my legend!?
I´ve updated my branded Legend to the Vodafone Froyo Version.
With the earlier HowTo´s I don´t have any luck.
