HTC HERO: N00B need help to hack

Hello guys,
I was thinking to purchase the HTC HERO on 3 here in the UK.
I have read many forums, thread, and watched many videos but i am still unsure on many things...
The first is,
How to I successfully root my HTC HERO-non GSM- on 3?
Does it have to be on a specific FW?
How can i install a mordaco (i think) rom onto my HTC HERO?
Does it have to be unlocked with the lastest radio? Why is that necessary?
Thanks,
Regards

Welcome aboard
Have a deep read here:

Good luck,

Many thanks my friend but the first method confuses me.it aint very clear.
Method1. I booted the img using fastboot. What on earth is that?
EDIT
Ok i have read the whole guide however both first methods seem too confusing and too long
*please dont mistake me for a noob as i have hacked and softmodded wiis psps xbow360s iphones ipod touches and my n95*
Its just that i am really busy with my exams now. Thats why i am just checking out if i will be able to softmod a htc hero before i get it.just to be safe.
Back to the topic. Is there a easier quicker way because i have read a thread on rooting the hero using 1 apk and some anon ra. Will it work?
?

rooting htc hero sprint 1.5

trying to root my htc sprint hero 1.5 help

Hey man everyone started from the same spot your in. People on here are SUPER helpful, but easily get annoyed by people asking the same questions and not posting them in the right section. USE SEARCH! its your best friend, every question has been asked over 3 times. My advice, read everything on rooting (terminology, dangers, benefits, which type of root fits your needs, which ROM you want to flash) after a week or so on researching, find an RUU file in a thread. Then load that on your phone and follow the command prompt instructions carefully. Remember to use search, and rooting can brick, break, your phone. But the benefits of rooting are well worth It.

Go to the development section and look at the top posts(stickies), they have all the instructions there.

Upgrade to 2.1 first. Easier to root for me plus you're already upgraded then.

Hey dude, I'd recommend using this link right here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
It tells how to get your phone to the stock 2.1 and then how to root that.
If you read down through the first 2 or 3 posts, all the instructions are there and it's really hard to mess them up if you follow exactly what is typed.
You don't even HAVE to upgrade to 2.1, but I'd recommend doing it first.
If you don't want to mess with the link I included above, you can just root it from 1.5 like it is now using some of the one-click methods out there on the forum. If you go to the Development section of this HTC Hero forum and look around for any threads with ROOT in the title, you should be able to find anything you need.
Also check out the Take Control link down in my signature below -- it has a lot of helpful posts and info too.

[Q] Inspire 4G rooting help!

Hello xda forums! The Inspire 4G is my first Android phone and already I want to root and install ROMs that fit my personal preference. The problem is I don't know what to do. I came across the thread" [DEV][GUI][RC1][GPL][3-03-2011] HTC Inspire 4G Simple Root and S-OFF" and found that it would be as easy as one click! But unfortunately, I do not know the first thing there is to rooting my phone. If someone could please list the steps I need to follow in order to root my phone using bubby323's GUI, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
mattxmrp

I would read alot of the post in the dev section, you need to make gold card before doing 1click root deal unless bubby included it in it now but read some stuff about it first so you have a better understanding of what is what.

Inspire 4G Unlocking help

Is there anyone out there that can help me unlock my HTC Inspire. I have tried many methods and none of them have worked!
Maybe we can get together on the phone?
I have tried CWM, Bubbys, One-click and many others!

Not trying to be too hasrh since you are still new here it seems but does this seem like a topic for Android Development? Post Q's in the General Forum!

Try the new hack kit it just got updated
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

Hack kit works fine, just make sure you read the entire list of instructions and get answers on the things you don't know BEFORE you start. I spent a day educating myself before doing it (having come from Apple to my Inspire), just to understand what each step did and what the issues had been for others. When I actually rooted mine and my wife's, it went perfectly.

Please properly title your thread... insted of just [Q].. Put [Q] how to unlock or help unlocking.

[Q] Rooting the Desire S

Ok first all i would like to say, i'm a new member, so don't get frustrtated if i ask questions which might sound like a pretty simple thing for experienced users, because you must remember when you first started it was difficult for you as well.
Basically i need to know if it is possible to 'root' the Desire S - Yes i am new to 'rooting' and everything, but i am getting myself familar with the terminology so hopefully will know a lot more soon. The reason i ask this is because, even on other sites, i can only find rooting guides for the original Desire but not the Desire S. I do understand this could be because this is a new phone, but would just like someone here to confirm that.
Also, if i do manage to 'root' the Desire S, would anyone recommend a ROM to put on it, and lead me to a guide which will help me in completing that task. Please note, from what i know, it would be good if it is a stable mod as i would like all features like wi-fi to still work. Thanks for your time, hope to hear from someone soon.

seriously, even if you are new
use the search function
the half desire s forum is already full of "can i root" "how to root" "root" "rooooot?" threads ....

Before worrying about rooting you need to make sure that your device is S-OFF or S-ON. Search XDA to get instructions on how to do that.
IF you are very lucky and your device is S-OFF you'll can gain root access using either Gingerbreak or SuperOneClick root methods. (Again search XDA)
If you're like most people and stuck with a S-ON device you'll need to use an XTC Clip or wait for AlphaRev to S-OFF your device.
As the last guy said - read around on XDA. Plenty of people have asked the same questions before....
Hope that helps...

Thanks, for that buddy - Yes i have already searched the forum, and the internet, so i'm aware on how to 'root' the phone using the superoneclick method, however don't understand what's all this about the S-ON S-OFF anyone care to elaborate?
