[Q] Where do I post for a HTC Hero? - General Questions and Answers

I'm not really sure where to post with the phone I have. I purchased a HTC Hero S and I can't seem to find the right forum for it. I found other HTC Hero forums, but the image for the phone doesn't match the one I've got.
My phone is quite similar to the HTC Evo, with a few differences in hardware. I'm interested in gaining root access, would following the guides there work out for me?
Thanks!

I Don't think there's any Support for the Hero S...

So there's no gaining root access on it for now?

To tell you the truth I'm Not Sure...
I have a CDMA HTC Hero, and used the z4root.apk to get Root Access on my Hero!
I'll post a link to get the z4root all if you wanna try it?

Lemme know if it works?

Thanks for your time, man! I'm going to be reformatting my computer in the next week or so, so eventually I will try it and get around to letting you know how it went.
Thanks again.

Forums for HTC Hero are HERE, but I am not sure how you can post in it.

Need help with rooting

I have looked through various threads and forums but i couldn't find anything that would help me with my issues. I recently bought a htc inspire and after a couple of days my friend convinced me to root it. I followed the steps using this [DEV][GUI][RC2][GPL][3-21-2011] HTC Inspire 4G Simple One Click - xda-developers root. All was going well till i powered it up,after following the specific examples shown in the video and directions. I had no superuser app and my "root access was denied" and i have no sound (i know it says that you have to flash that).However i did get S-on to change to S-off. I tried to root it one more time with the same process and didnt work out again i opened terminal emulator and typed /data/local/temp/rage but got "not found". Could someone please assist me into how to complete the root and get sound. Thank you very much!!
Try and use the hack kit.

I'm already rooted running CM7 so I wouldn't be able to test this out.
Does anyone know of a reason this wouldn't work ?
I have a stock Inspire headed my way today and one way or another it is going to be rooted within an hour or so of it getting into my mitts !
Is there a SBF for the Inspire so I can reload the original ROM should things go south ?
To perm root this phone, the hboot(bootloader) has to be downgraded to take advantage of an exploitable one to get S-Off(nand lock) so radios and roms can be flashed. Gingerbreak only temp roots and doesn't attain s-off.
Search for the RUU, it's what's needed restore the stock unrooted rom.

Downloading the Stock now, thank you !
Should have searched before asking.
Going to give it a go as I haven't seen anything written about it. Figure as long as I have a stock to get back to it can't do much harm, that and it will wipe the SD card which is handy as it is a used phone. I go through a few and some of the things people leave on their old phones amazes me. Can be amusing though !

[Q] HTC Desire S s-Off and ROOT

Hi there everybody,
I'm probably in the wrong section of the forum, and my questions are nubby I know, but I get confused.
My Desire S is S-ON, and I would like to get is S-OFF. Is this possible, because it is needed to be able to root the phone right?
And an offtopic question, what is a flash-able app, and what is the difference with a normal custom .apk which can be installed from the sd card.
Thanks in advance

It seems that HTC reverse its decision to block everything on the latest versions, after the petition that circulated on the net, requesting the release.

Actually, no.
From the same article:
"In short: custom ROMs, kernels, and recoveries (like ClockworkMod) may never come to the EVO 3D, barring some kind of epic HTC screw-up."

How to get HTC ROM on a branden device?

Hi!
Found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15106225&postcount=1 guide over at the Wildfire S section, does this work even on our Sensation to get rid of the branding e.g Vodafone?
Or does it work in the first place? Sound very easy and simple...
1.- Create Goldcard.

Falls at the first hurdle. Best we have on sensation is temp root at the moment.
This should be in the Q&A section! Get it right people!
Doe's anybody try it with his sensation?

No because it can't be tried.

It's not in the development line, because if you searched, you would know that the goldcard method has already been tried, and doesn't work

Alright.. cool it. The guy's just asking if it can be done. I've been allover these forums for a while and I never ran across the "goldcard method" for the sensation. It's not that easy to find...
The question is just fine in this forum. Not like it's bustling with activity or anything...
just found this
hey guys i just found this see sensation and evo 3D are mention to http://teamandroid.in/create-goldcard-for-htc-android-phones-video-guide-theandroidsoul/

Apologies. I think the gold card thread was closed a while ago, because it doesn't work. Pretty sure there is a link to it in the roll-up thread though. Either way, it is annoying when people don't post threads in the correct section.

Yes, that is the way to make a gold card, but sadly (due to the new security on the Sensation I assume) it doesn't work. It's the same way that is used to make all gold cards. There have been a lot of "guides" showing how to do things for the Sensation, for example use GingerBreak. It's just people taking a guide for a different device and adding Sensation or EVO 3D to the title, knowing that people are looking for it. Extreme laziness on the part of the people who post them.

one click root?

Hey guys do you think one click root you guys have here to root htc inspire would work on the HTC evo
If you are looking to root an EVO shouldn't you be in the EVO section?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using Tapatalk
Yes you are right my friend however i had the inspire before and now i have the evo but the new evos now come with 2.3 and can't root it.at the evo forums don't have the option to go back to stock 2.2 like we do here. So I was going to give this one a shot but I thought of asking first to see if maybe anyone has done it. If not I'll probably stay with the inspire lol.
The current rooting methods for the Inspire/DesireHD are very device specific. No chance it would work on an EVO. Heck, they won't work on DHDs that have taken the 2.3 upgrades either.
Most rooting methods are device spicific so please be careful using things not ment for your device.
