    This is dedicated to all of newbies :-

    SO what is S-Off? :- S-OFF means that the NAND portion of the device which is unlocked and can be written. The default setting for HTC’s devices is S-ON, which means that neither can you access certain areas of the system nor can you guarantee a permanent root.

    How Do I Know If My Device Is S-ON Or S-OFF? :- It is very easy to know just boot into HBOOT on your device, and the text on top will appear the flag status as either S-OFF or S-ON. A full root generally means S-OFF.

    S-OFF – What And Why? :- HTC have installed a sort of security check whose level is determined by S-OFF/S-ON. Essentially, this security level is a flag stored on the device’s radio that checks signature images for any firmware before it is allowed to be written to system memory. This obstructs using any custom ROMs, splash images, recovery etc., and also restricts access to the NAND flash memory. However, when security level is set to S-OFF, the signature check is bypassed, allowing a user to upload custom firmware images, unsigned boot, recovery, splash and HBOOT images, as well as official firmware that has been modified.This enables maximum customization of your phone

    (S-OFF also reduces restrictions on accessing the NAND flash memory on the device, allowing all partions to be mounted in write mode while the operating system is booted.)

    How to get S-off on phone? :-

    1.

    Thanks to unrevoked tool as it is very easy to get S-off permanant on your phone. UNREVOKED is a painless root for HTC InCREDible and HTC EVO etc.

    If you are looking for a simple root, visit http://unrevoked.com/m/ on your phone. Tap the logo to download the apk, install it and click Start. Your root is ready.

    2.

    To get root along with permanent security level S-OFF, visit this http://unrevoked.com/recovery/. Download and install the appropriate program for your operating system (Windows, Mac OS and Linux supported). Now, simply plug in your phone to PC via USB cable, and run the program that you installed – neat and simple.

    Also you can consider visiting unrevoked team’s http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever that contains even more detailed instructions and explanation.

    Main advantage of unrevoked forever :-

    1.

    The main advantage of using unrevoked forever is having S-OFF as the permanent security level flag. We know as HTC likes OTA updates, so having a permanent S-OFF means even if you flash an unrootable update, you can still flash a custom recovery and ROM, hence making your root permanent. You also cannot lose the ability to flash HBOOTs and radio images via FASTBOOT, which is again safer than using recovery.

    2.

    Unrevoked forever manages to get S-OFF permanent as it actually grants root access to the radio/NVRAM image instead of the traditional bootloader method. Hence, even if any update flashes a new bootloader, root access stays.

    According to me apple is not best because :-

    1.it does not supports JAVA

    2.it is costly

    3.battery cannot be changed

    4.A huge disadvantage with all Apple mobile devices, including iPhone, is the fact that they don’t allow users to transfer data and information from the PC to the device through a USB cable without using applications like iPhoto and iTunes.

    etc.

    I have rooted my Htc hero. So i would like to share with newbies like me!

    HOW TO ROOT SPRINT'S 2.27.651.5 RELEASE FOR THE CDMA HERO (Stock Android 2.1) (you may also get this file from shipped roms)

    Step 1: Download the Android SDK

    http://www.4shared.c...06-windows.html

    Step 2: Extract the Android SDK zip. Move the contents of the extracted zip to C:\

    Your Android tools folder path should now be C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

    Step 3: Download HTC Sync 2.0.33 (http://www.filecrop....ync-2.0.33.html)

    Run the installer, and reboot your computer when it is finished.

    Move on to step 4 once rebooted.

    Step 4: Download the hero-root.zip

    (http://www.4shared.c.../hero-root.html ).

    This zip contains everything you need to root your Hero.

    (md5: c6e5058ed14f71c68fb099e10be142fb)

    Step 5: Extract the 3 files inside hero-root.zip to the C:\android-sdk-windows\tools folder on your computer.

    Step 6: Make sure USB Debugging is ON (checked) on your Hero. Go to Settings > Applications > Development > and make sure it is checked.

    Step 7: Plug your phone into the computer via USB, Make sure that the connection type in the Notification Pull-Down Bar is "Charge only", not "Disk Drive" or else this won't work.

    If your computer asks you to restart after the new drivers were installed, do that now.

    Step 8: Open a Command Prompt window by clicking the Start button and typing cmd into the search box and pressing enter.

    (It is also found under Start Menu > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt)

    Step 9: You will now enter the commands that I have put in code boxes followed by pressing ENTER, one code at a time.

    You may also copy/paste these commands in to the Command Prompt, pressing ENTER after each, one at a time.

    codes-

    1. cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools (You should now see C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>Now type)

    2. adb devices

    If you've been following this guide you will see your phone's serial number. If you get "device not found" error, you either need to make sure you the drivers were properly installed or make sure you enable USB debugging on your phone. Continue on once you get the proper phone serial output.

    In order to push the files needed to gain root to your sdcard in your phone with these following commands:

    3. adb push unrevoked /sdcard

    4. adb push recovery.img /sdcard

    5. adb push boot-patched.zip /sdcard (This may ake a few seconds)

    6. adb shell (Now it will display as $)

    7. sh /sdcard/unrevoked

    After typing this you can see output as:-

    $ sh /sdcard/unrevoked

    sh /sdcard/unrevoked

    Unpacking, please wait...

    88 88 88b 88 88""Yb 888888 88 dP dP"Yb 88 dP 888888 8888b.

    unrEVOked: root for HTC evo and hero (http://unrevoked.com)

    #

    Now, on your phone, go to your app tray, and you will see that the Superuser Permissions app is in it.

    Open the Superuser Permissions app. You will see a blank screen.

    In the Command Prompt on your computer, type:

    8. su

    A prompt will appear on your Hero asking you to give /system/bin/sh privileges. Click Allow.

    Go back to your command prompt, and you should see

    $ su

    su

    #

    Now type:

    9. flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (This may take few seconds wait till # object appears)

    You should now see

    # flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

    flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

    #

    This means it was a successful flash.

    Now type

    10. reboot recovery (The phone will reboot as this may take few seconds)

    If you get any errors try another recovery image and put it on sd card and start from step 9

    http://www.4shared.com/file/gnYG8CJk/recovery.html

    In the Recovery Menu on your phone, choose the option:

    Code-

    11. Flash zip from sdcard

    then select

    12. boot-patched.zip

    And press the Home button to apply.

    Then take backup and it may take upto 4-5 minutes

    So this way i rooted my htc hero.

    And i think it may be helpful to newbies on rimweb
