77543-sprint-heroIt seems that xda members are working hard. Well at least based on their latest accomplishments…

Members from the forum site were able to root Sprint’s Hero. To root one needs to reprogram the booting sequence and operating system.This way the phone can completely be manipulated.

According to the document’s creator chuckhriczko:

” This is meant for Windows but I will post instructions for linux as well (Ubuntu).”

A few people have tried with successful results. However, there are some questionable  steps that need to be done to reach this feat. The outcome could void the warranty of the phone and even cause the phone to become a very expensive paper weight.

  2. I can confirm that this works great. I rooted my spring hero 2 days ago and installed the modaco rom and everything is working great. Wifi tether, a2sd, etc. Thanks XDA!

  3. their working on the droid now check the xda forums for more details

  4. Wow, Im really excited to see my video posted on my favorite android site… Brings a tear to my eye, thanks Phandroid :-)

  5. Droidz. I’m with you. But “patience Daniel-Son”

  6. Rooting my hero was a lot simpler than my G1 and safer too. This method for rooting provides little to no risk of bricking the phone. I’m currently running the only custom rom by Modaco.

  7. Is there a way to do this on a mac?

  8. Droid rooting / custom firmware probably won’t begin in earnest until Google releases the Android 2.0 source code.

  9. How about the Moment? Has that been rooted yet ?
