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] X10 2.3.3 mobile internet issues

Edit: whoops, probably would have been better to post this in the actual X10 Q&A, if any kind mod could move it, it would be appreciated.
Hey all, not having posted 10 times I cant post this in the appropriate developer's thread but I hoped i could quell the issues here just the same
After having issues upgrading my xperia x10 using SE's official updating program, from 2.1 to 2.3.3, I headed over here to find a .ftf file that I could use Flashtool to do it myself. I grabbed one ( i think it was from Androxyde's thread), and flashed it.
I thought it best to root it right then and there, so i hopped over to DooMLoRD's thread, and noticed when i plugged in my phone to start rooting, that my phone wasn't receiving mobile internet. I rebooted my phone again, and it still wasn't back.
I know its a new firmware, and that any copies that aren't official might be slightly dodgy, but I was wondering whether anyone could suggest anything I could do? Any ideas at all would be appreciated (and it doesn't appear to be on my service providers end, it was working fine before I updated)
Pre-emptive Thanks

Just google or search on here

Or

[Q] any upgrade for m2 aqua?

Hi all!
I have to ask this, I have searched for days and days over, buThe all in vain
I want to upgrade to lollipop, but it seems as if I can not do that. So to either douse the my passionate flames, or to spice them up a little, I would like to ask you all;
Is there, or will there be any upgrades for Xperia M2 Aqua? They can be something like AOSP.
Also, I would like to ask one more thing;
Would it be possible for someone, if they have a working build on his/her phone, to possibly upload it or share it? It would make my day!
Thank you for reading this and consider this as real questions and request
Sincerely
Anders

I asking this because I have tried the "Eagle" build on my D2403, but it ain't working, it won't start, only vibrates and then turns off right away.
So I decided to read about codenames, and it seems like m2 Aqua (D2403) got the codename "Seahawk". I would like anyone of you to confirm if this is true or not?
And now I will go back to follow this thread as I really do want to try Lollipop

Kind of "fun" how this thread have over 100 views, yet no answer what so ever.
Some research, and in my build.prop it mention both eagle and Seahawk for this phone.
So which one is it, or is it a bit of both?
And there will be no official upgrade to m2 aqua (D2403).
But I have yet no answer to as to why the Eagle build for Lollipop is not working on my phone.
And this have raised another question;
Can a kernel to 4.4.4 work with 5.0 or does it have to be tailored for 5.0?
Edit:
I should mention that I have had a bad day and lost my temper a bit, and if anyone take the first part in a bad way, I am sorry!
I should also mention that I have tried AOSP android Eagle build, and Unofficial CM12.1 build from the same site. Fxpblog or something like that.

Even if this thread has 100 views, what does it mean? It could mean a lot of this but the most accurate ones would be that either :
This forum is for eagle and these 100 views are the users of the eagle and not seahawk so they are allowed to not know the answer for your questions. Second thing, even if theres some views of people that have seahawk, they may not know the answers for your questions (maybe they are not rooted, or they never tried a custom ROM, that's just two causes). Also questions like this repeats over and over again so either the users or the devs don't want to repeat themselves. Even if a Dev would reply here, he'd probably tell you to search the forum first.
And now, I can't answer your questions myself because I own the eagle not seahawk, but from experience I can tell that it's not a good idea to flash a ROM for specific phone onto another phone (even if m2 and m2 aqua are theoretically the same) because it may end up with a bootloop etc. Now if it is possible to cross flash the ROM, than I would say that you missed some point of the procedure you should have taken to flash lp on the aqua, the most frequent cause of the bootloops are improperly flashed ROMs. Now, by this I mean you could have forgotten to wipe the phone, or wipe cache memory. Don't hate me for what I said, because I'm really not sure how to answer your questions. Peace
