Rooting HTC HERO Windows 7 64bit

Several Steps to get this to work. I couldn't find any post of rooting this on windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. So i found the way. This is the way i did it. Hope it helps anyone else.
In order to get HTC Hero synchronizes with Windows 7 computer:
1. Download latest specialized sync tool from HTC, namely HTC Sync 2.04 from HTC: HTCsync.zip
2. Install the downloaded program on the computer. At this moment, your computer still unable to recognize the HTC Hero.
3. Manually update the HTC drivers from Windows 7, using the Windows Vista drivers by installing HTC Sync software on a machine running Windows Vista and then copying the drivers (namely androidusb.cat, androidusb.inf, androidusb.sys, htcrndis.cat, htcrndis.inf and WdfCoInstaller01007.dll in HTC Drivers folder) over to the Windows 7 machine.
Alternatively, download pre-downloaded HTC Hero drivers packaged in ZIP format:
HTC Hero driver for 32-bit Windows 7: HTC_Driver_32.zip
HTC Hero driver for 64-bit Windows 7: HTC_Driver_64.zip
4. Extract the driver into a folder. For example, %SystemDrive%:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x64 (for the Windows 7 64-bit) or %SystemDrive%:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x86 (for the Windows 7 32-bit) accordingly.
5. Go to Devices
4) Update the driver (accessible from Properties -> Hardware tab) for incorrectly installed Android Phone from the Devices and Printers menu in Windows’ Start Menu, by selecting the copied driver location. If no ADB driver been installed yet, just install the driver directly by right click on the .INF file and select Install.
6. The HTC Hero phone should now displayed as “My HTC”, and will be able to sync with Windows 7.
Very important to have the ADB Interface say MY HTC in your Device Manager if not manually install the drivers you downloaded above for your system either 32 bit or 64 bit.
Ok your not done yet now you can follow these steps i found from The Unlockr.com VIDEO LINK
1. Download these 4 files:
Android SDK
Fastboot (scroll to Fastboot tool and download the appropriate one for you computer’s OS)
CM-Hero-Recovery.img
Superuser.zip
2. Once you download the SDK, extract the SDK files to “C:\AndroidSDK”. Then extract the fastboot program to the C:\AndroidSDK\tools\ folder.
3. Extract the CM-Hero-Recovery.img.zip contents into the Tools folder in the AndroidSDK folder on your computer.
4. Extract the Superuser.zip contents into the Tools folder in the AndroidSDK folder on your computer.
5. Turn off the phone, then turn it back on by holding down the Power and Back button (to enter bootloader mode).
6. Plug the phone into the computer via USB. Make sure that it says FASTBOOT USB instead of FASTBOOT now.
7. You completed this from the steps above on the htc sync.
8. Goto the Start menu type cmd into the run section of the start menu and hit enter to bring up the Command Prompt.
13. Type the following into the command dos prompt on the computer (the black screen with white letters that just opened) while the phone is connected through USB, hitting enter at the end of the line:
cd\
cd androidsdk\tools\
fastboot devices
14. You should see a serial number pop up and the word fastboot to the right of it. This means that your USB drviers are all set up correctly and you can continue. If you do NOT see this, then you need to start over
15. If the serial number and the word fastboot next to it popped up, then go back to the command prompt on the computer and type
fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img
16. Once the phone boots up into the recovery screen type the following in the command prompt on the computer:
adb shell mount /system
adb push su /system/bin/
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
adb shell reboot
17. Once the phone reboots, click the Menu button and click Settings.
18. Goto Applications > Development and check the USB debugging on.
19. While the phone is still plugged in, goto the Command Prompt still up on your computer and type:
adb devices
You should see a serial number, which means the computer is seeing the device.
20. Then type:
adb shell
su
The phone should pop up an su request. Click Always Allow on the phone.
21. Type:
reboot
22. Phone should reboot and you now have Root Access! Try downloading a program that needs root access and see if it works to test it out.
I hope this helps those who have windows 7 and are frustrated on rooting there phone. Please email me if you have questions or stuck on something, im not a developer but i can help the best i can.
Many Thanks to the XDA Developers

Thanks for posting this up dude. I have not been able to track down the right drivers hence have not been able to see the device when running a fastboot/adb devices call.
I had actually been doing everything via the Windows XP Mode VM (you can pass through USB devices to it).
These seem to work a treat though

Nice and clear descriptions! very nice Weird though, I run Win 7 64 bit and used the USB drivers from the Android SDK (in the AMD64 folder) and they worked fine, didnt need to install HTC Sync either.

I tried for almost 3 hours and for some odd reason it wouldnt work with the supplied drivers in the sdk. I have the RTM release of Win 7 though i dont know if that makes a difference or not.

Are you running Windows 7 in test mode by any chance? I can see the difference between these drivers and the ones from the SDK is that these are signed.
That was the reason the others would not function of me AFAIK.

No im running it as a normal pc in fact its my gaming rig.

Very good description, just the way it should be on a forum like this. Great work. People who can't follow them should consider not rooting their phones

this may work, nice

Thanks for this post mate!

I am guessing this is the soruce for first few steps.

Its all ok, but it still does not work for many people, as there is no improperly installed device in Devices and Printers ( so they when people try to follow this guide, they still dont get proper results as no device driver gets updated. )
Adb works, but still Sync does not work, and the reason for that is the adb interface drivers installed by SDK does not work with HTC Sync 2.0.4. This guide is incomplete.
Even if all your drivers are ok and adb is working, you need to update adb interface drivers from device manager.
Here is the screenshot

Usually when you install just SDK drivers, it wont show MY HTC, and instead it will show the interface name. You need to install this manually ( Right click > Properties > Drivers >Update drivers> Browse My computer for Driver ) and point it to these drivers. When thats done, it will show MY HTC under ADB interface.
This will insure you get both adb and HTC Sync working

usb debug
There is one little comment which was missing in this guide and took me some time to figure it out - if you don't enable debug mode (settings->applications->development->usb debugging), you can screw around for a long time without any success, as your phone is detected then as a simple storage device and nothing more.
Also - the SDK drivers didn't do for me, had to install the HTC ones.
Thanks.

This guide now maybe out of date with the newest firmware i don't know for me this is what i did to get my hero working with sync and rooting. Now there are faster and better methods for rooting.

Can anyone help me get adb running? I've mentioned in previous posts that adb works on my G1 and Mytouch, but not the Hero. I have HTC sync installed if that matters.

So much better than this thread at explaining this...

Well the Windows Vista driver links from step 3 is not working anymore.
But they are available on Softpedia:
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Drivers/HTC-Hero-Drivers-81097.shtml
These are the Windows Vista 32- & 64-bit drivers for HTC Sync.

Excellent, just in time too as I'm expecting my Hero today and I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
Hope it's as simple as it all sounds

Your SPL doesn't allow booting images from the command line.
You need to apply the recovery.img using a program like Flashrec.

can anyone re-upload the recovery.img ??? not available anymore at rapidshare...

[Q] adb driver not working

I've been trying to access my GNex in fastboot mode, but my computer doesn't recognize it when it is in fastboot. I have tried to install the samsung adb drivers, but not matter what I try, I cannot get my computer to connect using the adb when the device is in fastboot. Any help would be appreciated.
I am running window 7 x64 btw.
EDIT: When my device is connected and I am not in fastboot mode, i am getting the "SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface" listed in device manager. So I am assuming I have the driver installed correctly.
EDIT 2: When I use
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
the device goes from recognized to Android 1.0, and if I try to
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
I get
Code:
<waiting for device>

After 'adb reboot bootloader', and device being recognized as "Android 1.0", just manually update the driver: its the same driver that you used for adb. Windows is dumb.
Use search or browse the forums, read the stickies, this has been covered over and over again.
Sent from my i9250

If all else fails get mskips galaxy nexus toolkit v10.x, see xda thread or google skipsoft, and let it sort out drivers and adb, it has easy options and a good help section, should get the job done.
Btw if you are having driver issues you should try the driver download pack from samsung official website's manuals and downloads, its a tad under 30mb, run it then reboot computer then plug in gnex and any missing drivers should auto install, be patient, windows is a retard so it may take a coupla minutes

This worked for me:
rootzwiki -> Google/Nexus Devices -> Galaxy Nexus -> "Galaxy Nexus Root Procedure - (broken) ADB Method Dont USE" -> page 3, second to last post on the page (by litso):
"EDIT: Scratch that, was able to use the PDANet drivers. Install PDA Net, reboot into bootloader, open device manager, manually select the directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\PdaNet for Android\usbwin". Fastboot will then recognize the device and allow you to unlock."
I can't post a link because I am a 'new user' due to low number of posts, but that is the path to your solution. I literally just went through this yesterday.
It's basically what bk201doesntexist said in the above post. I used the pdanet driver, but I'm sure the normal Samsung driver should work.

CM 11 back to Fire OS but have a question?

I love CM11 but I'm just not having great service anymore like I did with the Fire OS... Now here is the question... I have the At&t version with 464 installed... Then installed the CM11 now is it possible to install 463 OS from the unlocked version so that I can install the play store and Google services... Amazons app store lack a lot of apps I currently use... If so how do I go about doing that?

1. Download the "GSM unlocked" firmware image: http://fire-phone-updates.s3.amazon...update-fire-phone-35.4.6.3_user_463001620.bin
Assuming you are using Windows 7 / 8 / 10, if not, don't bother reading the following wall of text:
2. Connect device to PC & boot in recovery: PWR + VOL. UP (hold both buttons until recovery screen appears)
From the list, choose "Apply update from ADB"
3. In Windows, run the "CMD": adb sideload 'name_of_your_bin_file'
I recommend renaming the the downloaded file to "update.bin" so you can just type in cmd: adb sideload update.bin
4. If you have trouble getting your device recognised after entering recovery / ADB sideloading mode:
If you boot up your phone in recovery mode / ADB mode, you will need additional ADB device drivers for your Windows system.
The regular (Amazon / Kindle) USB driver that is used when you connect your phone to the PC won't work, it's simply not the same method.
That's why your phone "disappears" as soon as you (re)boot into recovery / ADB sideload mode.
Open your "device manager" (assuming, you're using Windows as your main OS) and check for your device with missing drivers.

Try this tool (& driver) ADB, Fastboot and Drivers
It worked for a few thousand people here on XDA, if it doesn't for you, try this one:
http://adbdriver.com/upload/AdbDriverInstaller.exe
Maybe you need to manually check for the "new" device and update the drivers:
Open the device manager while your phone is connected in recovery mode.
Look for its entry in the device list.
Remove it (Deinstall it).
Then "scan for hardware changes":
The device should appear in list the again, it will install the needed driver automatically (best case scenario)
or
you will have to update the device drivers manually:
If everything worked as planned, it should look like this: next to your device name, it will say "sideload":

Bingo,
Thanks for the guide, but I cannot get my computers to recognize the Phone in recovery ADB mode. It shows the device description as SD4930UR. It only shows as unknown. The hardware IDs are VID_1949&PID_0800. I tried the linked tool (both the 1.4.2 and 1.3 version he had) and the google drivers.
What is the exact driver that works for you?

I used the "15 seconds ADB Installer" v. 1.3, so the OS used the drivers from there (on Win 7 x64). Use a USB 2.0 port, just to be sure.
The drivers that work on my system might not work for your configuration...
Are you using Win 10? If so, have you tried updating the drivers with the integrated update function?
g0tNoodles said:
It seems that on Windows 10 it works/looks different. I updated the driver that was suggested but I had another one, which also needed updating which I have just done and appears to now let the CMD see the device properly and also allowing me to sideload.
Device manager does not see it as an Android device but as a Samsung device. Not sure why this is unless the device drivers used were Samsung ones but I guess that is irrelevant now.

I can't access my phone from my computer to run the .bin after rebooting it into recovery mode. The download links for that driver installer you linked to don't work.

Good lord...tried all of that and more and still not able to get my device to show up in ADB. The last installer gives me the message "[Error] Incompatible with Win8 x64". So two questions...anything else I can try for drivers, or, can I use a method other than ADB, such as Safestrap?
Thanks again for all your insight on this forum
EDIT: For anyone that struggled as much as me to finally get drivers to work, this method ultimately worked as posted by @hijax2001
4) I also grabbed the Kindle Fire ADB drivers from here for convenience in Step 7 (below) https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1Z1J6LQic8PQjFjS0FpVGVia2M/edit
7) For me, ADB did not initially detect my phone. I ended up having to go into Control Panel in Windows, to Device Manager, find the Fire phone, choose Update Drivers, then Browse My Computer, Let Me Pick, Show All Devices, Have Disk, then find the folder from Step 4 (above) and add Android Composite ADB Interface by hand. Once I did that, I unplugged and replugged the USB to the phone and then typed "ADB devices" again at the ADB command prompt, like in Step 6. There it is! Ok, next step...

I'm not familiar with adbdriverinstaller, but which ever you use, make sure you are running the installer as admin (right-click on the installer). Also, if you extract the 15 second installer exe with 7zip you get access to the drivers installers separately. Maybe try manually installing them.

Ran 15s ADB. I right clicked SD4930UR in device manager. After selecting update driver, then 'Let me pick from a list..' there is no 'left' or Google listed. It loads a list int he center of the screen of generic hardware devices.. the only one that pertains to a phone is 'mobile' and after selecting that there are no driver options to be found. There is no 'android' to select from that list.
It's doing this on both windows 7 and windows 10.

I think those steps are for Windows XP. For Windows 7, 8, or 10 use the following steps to update the driver:
Those steps are for Google USB driver. For Amazon Kindle Fire USB driver, use the following steps:
1) Right click SD4930UR or the device (Unknown device) that shows up when you plug your phone into the computer.

Ohhhh okay thank you for explaining this. After finding KindleFire down the list I was able to update my drivers. I've now installed the update to both of my ATT Fire phones, and both are now 4.6.3 and working great with working playstore options.
Thank you jack9955 and everyone else for the tutorials.. much appreciated!

How to Setup the Fire phone for ADB
An illustrated guide ... 2015-09-15​
Open open Device Manager. This is what my 4.6.3 Fire phone looks like when plugged in normally to my Windows 7 computer. Power it off and boot into the stock recovery using PWR + VOL UP (hold both buttons until recovery screen appears). The Fire device will disappear from Device Manager.
At the phone's recovery menu choose "Apply update from ADB". Back in Device Manager do a Scan for Hardware Changes and you should now see this. Right click on the Fire and choose uninstall.
Grab "15 Seconds ADB Installer" and install it as admin and hit yes for everything. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Now scan for hardware changes again and you will see this new device. Right Click this device and choose Update Driver Software.
From this window choose "Browse my computer for driver software."
From this window choose "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
From this window choose "Show all devices."
In the section on the left that says Manufacturer find "Google Inc." Then, on the right, choose "Android Composite ADB Interface." Accept through any warnings.
The Device Manager should now show this.
Open up a cmd prompt and test that adb can see your phone with the "adb devices" command. Now you can sideload 4.6.3 or whatever.

I see there are atleast two USB drivers you can use to set up ADB on the Fire Phone. Amazon Kindle Fire USB driver and Google USB driver. If Google USB driver is installed, you should select "Google, Inc." for Manufacturer. For Amazon USB driver, you should select "Amazon.com" for the Manufacturer, Device Manager will show the device as Kindle Fire> Android Composite ADB Interface.

I've also noticed some people using the Amazon drivers. But they're not included with "15 Seconds ADB".

Works seamlessly too on any linux terminal
Just, so you know, your method works very well too on any linux computer. I had the same issue and now it is fixed. I can write a tutorial complimenting this if needed.

We can't do CM12 because the Fire Phone's bootloader is still locked and the current FireOS 4 is based on KitKat. Unless Amazon unlocks the bootloader or releases FireOS 5 for these phones, we are stuck in KitKat (CM11).

Will applying update from adb format the phone..hopefully it will

[HELP] MI a2 lite Fastboot Exits aAutomatically

I have a mi a2 lite and i want to unlock its bootloader, i have alrready enabled oem unlocking on developer options, when i boot my device in fastboot and connect to computer, command window says waiting for device and after 15-20 seconds of connecting my device to my pc, fastboot mode automatically exits and shows charging animation. Please anyone can help?
My device is in andoid pie (stable).

Check if you have installed drivers and run "fastboot devices" to see if device is recognised.

Agree something with your PC.
Phone will automatically exit fastboot if no connection in timely manner.
Check drivers are installed, reboot your PC.
Also be sure USB debugging is on in Dev option and trust PC.
For me, I generally boot Android normal. Then plug into PC and from command line, "adb reboot bootloader". That should verify adb, If that doesn't work, your PC not talking to device.

For me, I generally boot Android normal. Then plug into PC and from command line, "adb reboot bootloader". That should verify adb, If that doesn't work, your PC not talking to device.

I reinstalled the drivers and the command "adb reboot bootloader" works for me that means it boots to fastboot mode but when in fastboot mode, when i enter a command "fastboot devices" it does nothing and when i enter command "fastboot oem unlock" it again says waiting for any device.
i have attached a screenshot of it.

I've tried restarting my pc as well as my phone and after 5-6 attempts it is now unlocked.
Thanks guys for supporting and giving response to my post
Love ya'll

The solution for fastboot disconnecting after a few seconds are the windows drivers. There are different drivers for our phone, normal, bootloader and fastboot. Windows loads these drivers depending in which state the phone is.
If you still didn't find the correct drivers, you should try installing MiFlash, as it contains all the needed drivers for our phone
If you like to try the Linux way, there's a distro called FWUL linux here on XDA

7T Android ADB Fastboot Driver Issue on Windows

Good day everyone. I'm trying to get my bootloader unlocked to install TWRP, but I cannot seem to get the fastboot drivers to recognize my device when I'm in the fastboot bootloader. It works fine when the phone is booted normally, but once it goes to fastboot, it's no longer recognizable.

I had a similar issue, yesterday. This was due to me being too excited to unlock my bootloader. I fixed the issue with the below:
https://adb.clockworkmod.com/
After you get your phone up and running, uninstall that ADB driver from Device Manager, then connect your phone to your PC and enable USB debugging. This will fix the MTP issue and install the proper ADB/Fastboot Drivers.

I tried that out, no change.
I have OEM Unlocking enabled, USB debugging on, and the USB mode set to file transfer.

Try manually updating the driver with the Nexus 4 ADB driver (should say universal in the description).

I tried that, along with the normal google drivers too, and it takes away the exclamation point in the device manager window, and changes it to a question mark.. but I still can't see the device with 'adb devices'

When you check the driver properties do they match what's in the attached image?

I had the same problem before, with fastboot not recognizing the device and only "waiting for device.." appear when I'm on bootloader mode on the phone. I got it working when I chose bootloader driver (Google USB drivers) on Windows Device manager (under the same screen like your screenshot). Put your phone on bootloader mode, open Device Manager (Windows), plug your phone and Android devices should appear. The Google drivers should come up (assuming you installed them) when you click on Update Driver, then choose bootloader. If successful, device should appear under fastboot devices command. Fastboot should then work.

for "fastboot waiting for devices" problem check solution here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...owing-up-in-fastboot-mode-windows-10.4194491/

Had the same issue, downloaded the Google USB driver, manually set the device driver to "Android Bootloader Interface" and it worked! Device shows up when running "fastboot devices" now.
Get the Google USB Driver | Android Studio | Android Developers
The Google USB Driver is required to perform adb debugging on Windows with Google devices.

This worked for me also! It took me several minutes to understand what it meant to "set the device driver to 'Android Interface'," so let me detail that a little bit. This is what I did.
Put my phone into fastboot:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Loaded Windows 10 Device Manager and verified that my phone was listed under "Other Devices" with a yellow triangle next to it.
Downloaded and unzipped the most recent Google USB Driver, from @CheshireShorty's link.
Right-clicked my phone and chose Update Driver.
Clicked Browse my computer for drivers.
Clicked Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
Clicked Have Disk...
Browsed to where I had unzipped the Google USB Driver, selected the file android_winusb.inf, and clicked Open.
Chose Android Bootloader Interface, as suggested by @CheshireShorty.
Verified that both fastboot was working:
Code:
fastboot devices
Rebooted the phone into normal mode:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Verified that adb was working:
Code:
adb devices
I hope that I remembered everything, but even if I didn't, maybe this will help somebody. And even though @CheshireShorty's post was over a year old, it sure helped me.

Or just force a windows update (by clicking "Check for updates"), it will install the fastboot drivers for you when your phone is connected in fastboot mode.

Battled a bit with this one... Just to let others know. I had no change to get it work with Win11. Using Win10 everything worked fine. Luckily I had other PC with Win10 so I got everything working.

Thanks! I wasn't able to install the Google drivers manually with the device manager but this worked for me.
Just click on "View All optional updates" after checking for updates, expand driver updates and choose the Google - Android Bootloader Interface. I wasn't aware of that option in Windows update.
