Hello. I am sick from school today and decided to make a thread to help out some people.
DOWNLOADS ARE BELOW(AT THE BOTTOM!!!)
All of these steps are posted on TheUnlockr.com in a Video but The video is for the GSM version. The difference is just the recovery image. (http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-root-your-htc-hero-in-one-click/)
Ok lets get started.
This method works on all Sprint phones with updates. I am not sure how long this will last unpatched.
First YOU HAVE TO HAVE ADB WORKING!!!
Download my zip file if you do not want to download the entire SDK.
1)After it is downloaded, extract the files to C:\Windows\System32\
(you can copy and past the file-path)
2) Now pickup your phone and go into Settings-Applications and Enable Unknown Sources then from there go into Development and make sure that USB Debugging is enabled.
3) Now connect your phone to your computer and open up command prompt (Start-Run(or search) cmd.exe.
4)When it is open type: ADB Devices.
You should see your'r phone's serial.
Now download flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2.apk (the download is below)
1) Copy the file to your sdcard.
2) Download any File Manager from the android market.
3) Go to your Sdcard in the file manager app on your phone.
4) Press flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2.apk
Let it install.
5) When it is complete, go to your apps drawer and open the Recovery Flasher app.
My method requires you to have a recovery image before root.
6) In the recovery flasher app, Press Backup Recovery Image
7) Let it work. You may have to try twice for Success.
8) Now Mount your phone back on the computer and replace the recovery-backup.img with the recovery-backup.img on this thread(MAJOR thanx to Amon_RA)
9) Now unmount your phone and go back into the Recovery Flasher app on your phone.
10) Now press restore and let it flash recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img(Amon_RA's Sprint custom recovery image)
YOU NOW HAVE A CUSTOM RECOVERY IMAGE!!! WOOT WOOT
the work is still not done.
Download the Superuser.zip(http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=211569&d=1249225060 or in the downloads below) and extract it to your Sdcard
Now go into your new recovery image (power off the phone and then power it on by holding the Power and Home buttons)
Connect your phone to a computer and run command prompt.
IN COMMAND PROMPT TYPE:
Code:
adb shell
mount /sdcard
mount /system
cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/
reboot
(you can copy and past the code into command prompt from the thread)
Download the Better Terminal Emulator app from the market and type:
Code:
$ su
if you get a
Code:
#
then...YOU NOW HAVE ROOT!!
now you can install custom ROMs and root-required apps

I used the emulator method.... >>
1. Download Recovery 4.0.0.9 from Modaco's website
2. Using Root Explorer, find the file in your downloads folder on the sdcard.
3. Paste the recovery img file into your phone's /data/local folder.
4. In terminal emulator, first type "su" and then type "'dd if=/data/local/doubleshot.clockworkmod.4.0.0.9.modaco.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21" and let it transfer the recovery file.
its goes thru no problem ...everything seems to go ok i can boot into recovery but none of the back up files i create work...i cleaned out 3gigs of space on my sdcard so it wouldn't run out of space during the back up process but still none of the back up files work....had to use a back up file i made with Revolutionary 4.0.0.8....
any thoughts on what the problem could be?
bump......

driver A60+ its differrent with A60
if you have linux as your system, you won't need a driver, but please do it at your own risks.
for first step, download SuperOneClick from shortfuse.org *it's for windows? yes, but it have adb for linux
make your device debug-able: Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Check USB Debug then connect it using USB to your PC
open your terminal on linux, mount to SuperOneClick directory
follow this step:
Code:
linux:~$ cd ADB
linux:~$ chmod 755 adblinux
linux:~$ ./adblinux devices
and it will show:
Code:
List of devices attached
4257323032BC4C34385A device
back to terminal and follow this step to copy all file that needed to exploit your android:
Code:
linux:~$ ./adblinux push Exploits/psneuter /data/local/tmp
linux:~$ ./adblinux push Root/su-v3 /data/local/tmp
linux:~$ ./adblinux push Root/Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp
after all files copied to your device, use shell on the droid
Code:
linux:~$ ./adblinux shell
$ cd /data/local/tmp
$ chmod 755 psneuter
$ ./psneuter
after that step above, USB connectivity will restarting for a seconds.
back to shell using ./adblinux shell on your terminal, and there will displaying # symbol if your root process is successful.
on the adb shell, type mount and find the /system mount point, for example: /dev/block/mtdblock0 on /system type yaffs2 (rw)
and then on adb shell, use this command below to finish your root process
Code:
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
# cat su-v3 > /system/bin/su
# cat Superuser.apk > /system/app/Superuser.apk
# chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
# chmod 0755 /system/app/Superuser.apk
check your app drawer, if you found Superuser on it, it was completed and successful. Good Luck!

Hi,
can anybody write me some more details about ROM MOD S317 by MAKIS V1.3? What languages does it include? Does it have all Google applications, etc ...
I cannot find any "developer" of this ROM site in Google and I would like to know if after installing of this rom there will be more empty space for apps installation.
I found only a discussion of Philipines guys (I suppose) on symbianized forum...

It's only in English (default) and Chinese.
Is there any way to add more languages to an Android ROM?
Or any other custom rom (or a way to build it for this phone)?
