Simply root HTC Hero..?

[Guest nAiTs Ô_o]

Hi!

I tried to find the topic for hero on device spesified, but i could not find it. I also tried android topic, but could not get access.

Is there a way to root htc HERO w/ ROM 2.73x?

I checked this thread out: http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero...ate-zip-format/

But i think this was a very long way to go (and complex), just so I can get root access for deleting built-in apps.

Does anyone have any bright ideas? (As u prob. have figured out by now, i'm a tard when it comes to android, so I need guidance)

All help is appriciated (and excuse my English) :)

Nothing? :)

Try to have a look at xda forum and that's a professional forum on HTC phones. Maybe you can find some needed info there.

If you applied a 2.73 stock update, you can't root yet.

Okey, thanx for the replies! I'll try to stay updated for when its possible to root!

I have experienced lag and freezes when I have installed several apps that I actually use, but the lag goes away when I uninstall them. It would be better to have root access so I can uninstall apps that I don't use instead..! Like stocks or the footprint app!

well actually you could one more thing. you could downgrade your phone to an earlier ROM and then root it. just a suggestion.

if yo udo decide to downgrade then search for the keywords "goldcard" here at the modaco forums and over at xda-developers

Yeah, I have considered it, but I do want the 2.73 ROM as it has the language support for Norwegian. One more thing that makes me not want to downgrade is that, then I will have to make a backup of my contacts, and when i restore them, all contact names have been turned around (like the last name first) so I have to edit every single one of my contacts. Thats a multi hour job..!

I'll just wait until it comes a good solution for rooting the 2.73 ROM. (Weak by android and htc not having a solution for this!)

I have the same problem with the stock Rom and not being able to root. Like yourself I'm new to Android having iphones motor the past few years.I may have a crack at this gold card thing. I came across a good video on a site WWW.unlokr.com I think it was. Go check it out.
