Rooting the HTC Hero/G2..(success)

If you have a 2.73+ rom with the latest hboot you will need to follow This Post to boot the recovery image
1) restart into bootloader (switch on holding the back button)
2) Extract the latest GSM Hero recovery IMG into your android SDK/tools folder
(For SDK & CMD help reffer to Post 3 "The Basics" )
3) Download Superuser.zip and extract the contents to your SDK/tools folder.
4) Plug in USB
5) open a CMD prompt from the tools directory and type the following command> fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img
(you should now enter a recovery console on the handset)
NOW PERFORM A NANDROID BACKUP from the recovery menu, once completre, continue..
6)then type the following commands in CMD exactly as they are here, hitting enter for a new line.
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
Congratulations you now have root access..
Download "Root Boot" from the app store (this will only work if you have root!)
Step 6 modified thanks to ENLIGHTENER, cheers, su whitelist working nicely now..
Recovery image updated to recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img , thanks to Amon_RA
Please be carefull! I accept no liability!
FYI, To unroot you will have to either restore an earlier backup or flash a stock rom..... (reccomend the new official HTC Update via RUU to do a full reset)

OK i have a stupid question as i'm new to all that android thing. Where is the sdk folder? How do i open CMD? Maby u could do a tutorial for totaly new guys on *how to root your HERO* ??
Thanks

1) you need to download the android software development kit from Here and extract it to yourhard drive.
2) (check) fastboot and adb should be located in the tools folder.
3) in tools right click>new>shortcut when asked enter CMD.exe
4) right click on cmd.exe shortcut, go to properties and clear the "start in" box.
job done, follow as above.
*Edit*
FYI
Verify you have root, go to app store> download Root Booter and test its functions if this works, you have root!
The G2 is the HTC Hero on T-Mobile.
The SDK includes all the drivers needed.
once you have booted the img via fastboot you should enter a recovery console, at this point you need to follow the instructions exactly as typed for adb,
I am running windows 7 Ultimate, should be the same for all windows platforms,
Cheers

No, you will not loose anything but be sure to do a Nandroid incase you need to go back to "Stock"

I've followed the process and I never ran into any problems, but I'm new to Android having previously owned Win Mobile phones and now an iPhone.
I got my G2 today on a contract upgrade just so that I could play around with it and try some development work.
Now that I have followed the process, how do I verify that I now have root?
Is there anything I can do to test?

If by G2 you mean HTC Magic/Sapphire rather than HTC Hero you're in the wrong place...

OK i have a problem when i do this:
4) open CMD prompt use> fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img
the phone reboots and then you have to do "adb shell" but when i do that it says "error: device not found", what now??

Just tried it and it works sweet... Took all of 5 minutes... Awesome work thank you

Have you installed the correct drivers? They are located in the SDK folders you downloaded.
If so try entering "adb devices" in the commmand prompt, Just incase the daemon didnt start.

I think i did. i'm on win 7 x64 btw. ok i'll switch to vista 32bit and try there.
Ok i have checked and in the device manager there is a ADB device>HTC bootloader so i think drivers are correct.

try entering adb devices see if that makes any differences
btw, when i done mine the phone was in the recovery console..

Never mind I got it, I'm on Win7 x64, had to switch the driver from:
HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface Version: 1.0.10.1 [25/06/09]
To:
HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface Version: 1.0.9.0

Ok so lets clear something. after i type in cmd: fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img my phone reboots and goes to recovery console where i have some otions.... so now i have to type in cmd: adb shell, yes??
still nothing and the adb devices didn't help.

android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3

OK got it working. It is a driver issue. using latest sdk but i had to use older drivers just like Mienaikage sad.

Wiped Phone Now Can't See SD Card On Lappy, PLEASE HELP

I used Team win Recovery Project to wipe my phone Galaxy Nexus, and now when I plug the phone in to the lappy it doesn't show the sd card. Freaking out here cause I can't copy over a zip file to flash a ROM... please help...

The GNEX doesn't have an actual sdcard, so when you wiped the phone i'm guessing you wiped the virtual sd card.
You will have to adb push a rom to your phone.
One the top of the first Q&A page jubakuba has a guide that has a panic section in it.
The guide also shows how to install adb/fastboot and gives you the commands.

try flash the stock img via fastboot using the following line to avoid wiping ur sdcard
fastboot update ***.zip
then wipe data via CWM and enjoy

ok, following your instructions, and the instructions of the link, I have install ADB and can use cmd, however when I type adb shell, I get an error returning "device not found"
I see a lot of threads stating to make sure usb debugging is on, it was before I wiped the phone, but obviously I cant get to any settings at the moment.
on the verge of crying now, and noone likes to see a grown man cry

FIXED
I ran the push command whilst in recovery and it worked
not sure that it mattered, but I did change the zip file name to ROM.zip, and whilst in recovery, ran the comand "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip
Just thought I would put that in there for other dopes like me that might come across this problem
Thanks to all for your help!

LOL
Normally if you can't see your device listed you haven't installed the drivers correctly.(or the correct drivers)
Also you have to open a command prompt window in the same folder as fastboot.exe and adb.exe
To do this in Windows 7:
Click the windows start button (bottom left hand corner)
In the search bar at the bottom type: cmd
At the top of the search list you will see the program cmd.exe right click and copy it.
Paste it into the same folder that has fastboot.exe and adb.exe
Now you can open the cmd window and type the command:
adb devices
Hit ENTER and if you have installed drivers correctly, the serial number of your phone will be listed.
If not, uninstall the drivers, download a new set of drivers from jubakuba or efrants guide and reinstall.

yes it will remove twrp make sure you do a full wipe before attempting or you could get some mild brickage requiring a factory cable. wipe factory reset,wipe cache,wipe dalvik, wipe system, flash update.zip reboot then system if prompted...

i wipe everything like you said and for some reason it boots into logo screen then a black screen and stays black i cant seem to get it back into recovery

Use adb shell and Pokey9000's rcmode (or the command line if possible) to change your bootmode to recovery and try it again. Be sure to wipe System and Factory Reset.
If you can't open a shell, you need a factory cable.

Okay let's take a step back for a second.
Open the KFU folder and "Shift" + "Right-click" on the folder containing adb.exe and fastboot.exe, and select "Open command window here".
In the window that pops up, enter: (with the device turned on)
Code:
adb shell idme ?
And copy the output here

I don't know anything about Windows, so I'm just guessing here. You're using Windows 7, correct? Do you have administrator privileges?
No matter, that's just the easy way, try...

That's a bad thing. Your shell is missing or corrupt. You need the shell to change your bootmode to recovery to fix your problem. Without a shell, you need fastboot to be able to change bootmodes. But you need a shell to change the bootmode to fastboot. Darn.
The only way you get into fastboot now is with a factory cable.

[How to] Fix corrupt/unmountable internal storage on the HTC One X/XL

I wrote this guide a while back after fixing a friends phone, it has worked on others too so i decided id post it here for anyone that ran into this issue later down the road and did not want to run a ruu. This also works great if you want to start fresh before flashing roms.
Basically all this does it swap out recovery's and clean the SD, give it a fresh start.
You can find the full guide & Video here http://forums.team-nocturnal.com/showthread.php/1050

This involves unnecessarily deleting the contents of the internal sdcard.
The following method works 99% of the time, albeit in linux only:
1: reboot into recovery & do a mount usb storage (no mount sdcard)
this will just present your internal storage as a mass storage device to the system
2: do a
fsck.vfat /dev/sdX or /dev/ubX (whatever it gets detected as) - you can find out via (dmesg|tail)
Analogically, you can fix your data partition if it got corrupted.
You need to do it from recovery since not all roms have the fsck binaries available:
from recovery (copy - paste, unless you know what you're doing):
umount /cache
for x in {2,3,5}, do fsck.ext4 -fyD /dev/block/mmcblk0p1$x;sync;done;clear;echo done

I can put the zip in there even if i remove the USB cable without unmounting and then plug the USB cable again i see the file inside the phone just fine, the problem is when I unmount to get back into TWRP recovery to install a zip then it doesn't show up. Very weird not sure what is going on, but from what i hear it's a corrupted SD CARD. I found a thread, that teaches you how to fix this, but the link is now broken.

I have gone and go to advanced>adb sideload in twrp supported version
on my computer i have a folder called c:\fastboot with the adb software and it's the version that supports adb side load according to the instructions so i have met all the requirements. However when i run the command
adb sideload cm.zip
as i am already in the c:\fastboot folder via command prompt all i get is a display of all the commands i can use with adb as if i just typed "adb" and it displays all the commands.
I also tried typing

this did not work either same result. FYI cm.zip is the name of the rom file.

You can use adb to push a rom file to you phone storage. I found this link that should help you http://htconeroot.com/htc-one-tutorials/how-to-copy-files-to-htc-one-using-twrp-mount-and-adb/

i can access the TWRP recovery and also the fastboot. however, when trying to run ADB in my computer the device is not listed.
when running the command "adb devices". nothing gets found.
EDIT - also when i get into the ADB sideload section of TWRP, my device stays stuck at "starting ADB sideload feature..."

What is your PC's OS.. Where did you get adb and fastboot??

Fastboot/adb

My PC's OS is windows 7 home premium service pack 1. the fastboot was unlocked through the firewater method. if you mean the android-sdk tools i got them here
developer.android.com/sdk/index.html?utm_source=weibolife
the fastboot still seems to work as i tried re-flashing TWRP. it was successful. but it still just seems to stay stuck at "Starting ADB sideload feature..."

Ok do this move everything from the folder platform-tools should be fastboot.exe and adb.exe and a few other files to the root of your c drive....
than open your CMD window as admin... make sure you open as admin... than type
Code:
cd /
to move to the root of you c dirve and then type
Code:
adb
let me know the out come of that....
