I can't root m Hero Please help

Hi everyone
I used HTC Hero
Firmware 1.5
Baseband version 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
Kernal Version 2.6.27-44690c1a
Build number 2.73.707.9 146733 CL#62020
Software version 1.0.0.A6288
I've tried to use this solution http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-root-your-htc-hero-in-one-click/
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4257045&postcount=38
Any Suggestion?

You've not said what the problem/ error messages are. Nor how you know it's not rooted. I'm pretty sure for any of the dev's/guru's to be able to help you'd need to supply what's going wrong, not just the methods you've attempted.

ur problem like similar to mine

At present, I don't think anyone can help - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563256

[Q] I am new with Desire and Android :(

Hello All,
I'm new to desire and android.
My HTC Desire works with version 2.1-update 1.
I know that v2.2 is available and I activated the automatic update but I did not get any notifications for the new version 2.2!
I checked for update manually but I got a message that my phone is up to date!
Well, I made some search online to know how to get the 2.2 on my phone. I found some ppl says that I need to do "WIPE" to my phone before installing the new froyo 2.2! but what is meant by WIPE? how could I do Wipe?
Also, how could I get the new version 2.2? do you have any direct link for this version? after downloading the version on my computer, how could I install it to my desire? I'll appreciate the detailed steps
Also I found some ppl talking about "root" and "ROM"!! what does that mean?
do I need to do root, rom?
All what I want is to know how to update my 2.1 to 2.2 without loosing the HTC sense. I forgot to tel you that my current version supports the Arabic language and the English language read and write. so I need the Froyo version that supports both languages.
Thank you for your patience and you help will be appreciated

Go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post up the 'Software version'
We'll go from there, but if you're on 2.29.405.5 then you're already on 2.2 and the latest version too

You just need to check out the rom development section. From there on you start reading. There are a lot of tutorials in that section.
At first you won't know what everything meanes, but if you read it, you will understand.
Just don't do anything that you don't understand, that will save you a lot of problems.
And yes if you want to flash a custom rom you need root and you can get root by unrevoked.

[Q] Orange software 2.17.61.3

Hi there, just about to root my HTC Desire and following the guide it would be useful to have the ability to reset my phone to the current Orange software, should I have to return it. Problem is have looked here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
but cannot find my version of the software should I need it in the future?
Really hoping this isnt a stupid question, confused cos' the guide states that the 3rd octet should contain 3 numerics and mine contains 2 (61 in this case)
full revisions are listed below but guess I am looking for version 2.17.61.3?
Android Ver 2.2
Baseband 32.48.00.32U_5.10.05.30
Kernel 2.6.32.15-g29e526b
[email protected]#1
Build 2.17.61.3 CL2774424 release-keys
Software 2.17.61.3
Browser Webkit 3.1
Many thanks in advance for your help

you need to create a gold card i guess, pls google it

im also on orange, and they havent released their RUU's so you wont be able to return to original state. You could just flash one of the official HTC ones and then send it back.. If you are with orangecare insurance you dont need to worry, if there is a problem and it needs sending back, the phone will be replaced on your doorstep and orange wont look at the phone for a while

Thanks for your replies - I am glad its not me having read the guide closely, the phone is under Orangecare so will take your advice above. Many thanks again.

Very welcome! glad I could help

[Q] How do I root my DHD? (2.50.45.2)

Hey, I´ve used the search tool, but couldn´t find anything.
I would like to Root my HTC Desire HD, so I can Install the new Android Revolution 6.x (Android 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 )
My Phone is currently running:
Android 2.3.3
Sense 2.1
Baseband Version 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
Kernel Version 2.6.35.10
Build Number 2.50.405.2
Software Number 2.50.405.2
My Phone has no branding!
Is rooting possible for me?
Can Someone please help me?
I am totaly new to rooting, so I would appreciate a step by step tutorial.

That makes two of looking for the same information, any help out there please

YES rooting is possible.
I rooted my Dhd about two weeks ago and all went well.
I spent about a week reading lots of different sites. All using different methods in the end I used a guide on driphter.com
Forum > Everything Android > HTC Desire HD/Inspire 4G > General Discussion > [GUIDE] Downgrade, Root, Radio & Eng S-OFF DHD/Inspire 4G in 9 Steps
if your unbranded you can skip the goldcard step.
i also had to download the PD98IMG using my phone and move it to the root (not in any folder) of the sd card using astro
the only other step i changed was to install visionary+ from blackmart alpha (google it. Its a blackmarket market) the install from the toolkit didn't work for me.
JSL is very good/quick to answer questions on that fourm.
Hope this helps.

What do I need S-Off for?

(I hope I dont brick my phone)

You need s-off to flash new roms its an added security HTC add.
I think it stands for security off but i'm not 100% sure if anyone wants to correct me/let mr know please do.

Could it be your Antivirus is killing the download? check to see if it is being held in Quarantine.
Take Care
