This post is intended to be a gathering point for root progress (or lack thereof heh) on the Sprint CDMA Hero.
Reply away! 8P

Have you guys checked if you have fastboot commands at all?
tried getting access to fastboot and couldn't
maybe I did something wrong
I really hope I dont brick my new Hero lol
I checked That unlockr site and it said there method did not work for CDMA Hero so im guessing the exploit was fixed in this software.
So we must now find a new exploit to get su?
I am also, patiently waiting. Hoping to have some of the big guys already working on this for us.

I'm also eagerly awaiting info on this. I know it's only been out for a few days, but two of my friends bought them and are anxious to gain root access. Mostly for tethering purposes.

Hmm, same here. I feel kinda stupid, haha. I've tried holding home+end and then back+end and neither work. Holding home+back+end actually does boot into fastboot but it immediately asks if I want to delete all my personal data, which scared the hell out of me so I just removed the battery for a sec then rebooted normally. When the screen is up though, it does show the exact same info that salamandar posted:

I wouldn't mind using my phone as a guinea pig if anyone has any theories or needs something tested. I just wish someone could get nandroid working on this beast. Using one of the backup apps in the Market will work for now though, just in case.
tried vol down + power?

Has anyone tried this method? I don't think my SD cards are supported. Can someone with another brand give it a try? I read somewhere that people have had success using Kingston cards.
Downgrading to an EU Hero ROM is probably one of the quickest ways to brick your shiny new toy!

I'm not sure about Android phones, but didn't you brick your phone (permanently) if you flashed a WinMo CDMA phone with a GSM rom?

I would SERIOUSLY think about this before you try, if this works (goldcard etc.) you will be flashing THE WRONG SPL to your phone and you will probably brick it....
If you want to try, be my guest, but i'd wait for other meaning of rooting (several people are looking at this currently....)

You're a confident one.
Go right ahead I'm sure it will work and you won't brick your phone. Just imagine how good it will feel, you being the first to root a CDMA Hero.

Model HTC Hero
Firmware 1.5
Baseband 1.04.04.10.09
kernel version 2.6.27-6bc66721
HTC [email protected] #958
Software 1.62.556.1
HBOOT 1.46.0000(HERO200000)
I've done the goldcard and I think it works because I don't get the CID error.
When I try to flash RUU's I get
v1.29.651.1 140 bootloader error
v1.56.651.2 140 bootloader error
v1.76.405.5 110 file open error
I've tried various signed rom packages that I rename to hercimg.zip and it fails with Bootload IC fail. I'm unable to press anything when I am in the recovery ROM. I've tried to change the files in the ROM and then I get 132 signature error.
Basically I need help or at least a direction to go.
Can an RRU be built with my proper Hboot/Bootloader version?
Its gotta be user error.
Software 1.62.556.1
Whoa, wait what now?

They gave you back your warranty, how nice of them
At least we now know there is a way to relock the phone, no?

It is possible to lock the bootloader, but you have to be working at HTC to do it.

I reckon they have some sort of flashing box that just obliterates everything and replaces it with official software.
dont they just have to flash back the original spl, which we dont have?

That's what i think.
Unless someone can get that, no luck. Though it's probably a good thing that we can't relock the bootloaders.
I wake up everyday looking for news about 2.3 getting released. I am on 2.2.1 so I lost the ability to root. So i hope this comes out soon and if anyone has any info please post.
Officially it should come out in "coming weeks" as this tweet suggests - http://twitter.com/googlenexus/status/16974464310845440.
But there's a way to root your 2.2.1 anyways. Follow this guide:

Just unlock your bootloader.
I have tried the super one click no luck
Other than unlocking, which is the preferred and safest way to do it. You could just follow the guide that was linked here. I did it for my friend just last week because he was afraid of the official way to root for some reason. It worked perfectly.
Yeah I did it the rageagainstthecage way.

Works fine for me. Did you get stuck at the looping problem after following the steps in the OP?
The way around that, as many of us have discovered, is to turn the phone off then run SuperOneClick and select 'root'. Turn the phone back on once 'waiting for device..' is shown in the program and then just leave it until it finishes.
Ensure USB debugging is enabled before you get started and that your PC has the required drivers installed. (Check Device Manager).
To be fair the Original Post needs updating as the instructions aren't very good without the above being mentioned.

Dumb question but, does that method allow you to install custom roms (e.g. CM7) without unlocking the bootloader, thus keeping the warranty?

Using exploit to root allows you to get rooted device without unlocking the bootloader. However, I cannot tell you 'your warranty is kept' for certain(as long as bootloader is locked and you can revert to stock, I think it's okay).

This does not unlock the boot loader....... and, yes you can flash roms once rooted.
Good luck on that warrenty buisness.

If you do revert to stock there should be no way to tell you ever modified the rom, isn't that right?

We'll get it, but I'm just bored of waiting. With so much anticipation, we'll probably be disappointed. Hope not.

His question isn't about relocking the bootloader. But as long as you reflash the stock ROM and recovery, then I don't think there would be a way to tell without further examination. Regardless, HTC isn't too strict with the warranty claims, as many members on this forum have claimed warranty and sent back rooted phones to HTC. You should be fine.

that's 3 weeks. "coming weeks" being a PR equivalent of more than a month, we should be waiting for gb another 2 weeks at least...
It's only 5% of GB, but you can have the keyboard from it. A definite improvement and works perfectly on my N1 with 2.2.1 (no root needed):

Just got the M9 today.
Unlocked, rooted, Installed TWRP, S-Off.
Then I was trying to update to the latest 1.32.40.17 firmware, but I forgot to superCID (11111111).
My cid was HTC__059.
So, the phone stalled forever...had no choice but Vol Up + Power button. Then the phone was tuck at a weird screen with few options of reboot the phone, reboot to bootloader... But no matter what option to choose, the phone just did not reboot to that.
Vol up + Power...Vol down + Power....I dont remember what I pressed cuz I had to press those combo many times, but luckily got back to the download mode. & things went well.
So......SuperCID right after S-Off people.
What a close call :laugh:
This happened to me, but it happened for no reason. Screen said press this for reboot then just went back to the same screen. Had to hard reboot to fix

Good advice. Wish there were more threads like this, cos I am not new to flashing but new to htc..
i am unlocked and rooted, but still S-On. Contemplating to go S-off.
So, after S-off then SuperCid, does that mean we can flash "any" rom from any custom rom/any region? but if we are 1.32 we cannot flash 1.40 roms right? we must go back to stock to take the update? i think that is where a few (who are new to htc like me) are confused.
I believe that with S-on, u can flash custom rom that has matching base/firmware.
Put your phone in download mode, the OS tells you your firmware.
Look for roms that has matching base/ firmware.
You dont have to go back to stock. You can flash the latest OTA, it will update your phone to the latest firmware, then flash latest rom.
S-off & superCID let you flash any firmware, any radio, any rom from any region.
I do think $25 is worth the S-off for my case.
I flashed the latest firware, but didnt like it much because of some kernel bugs. So i went back to 1.32 for more stability.

Not sure mate, I take it u are on maximus?
Basics are u need to install sunshine app and run it. It will tell u whether it will work before asking for payment. It won't work on ahrd for whatever reason, if u are on maximus rooted and the sunshine app asks for payment then u are good to go
