Sprint Hero rooted, now what?

---

Sorry if there is a list or thread about this already. I am pretty new to the Android OS and I'm wondering what's the next thing to try with this phone.. I have rooted the phone (tested with screen print utility), now I'm just wondering what else I can do with this rooted beast.

Well, did you flash a recovery image?

I am going to bit the bait...First of all I know nothing about android, what a recovery image is or for, or such.

Anyways, I followed directions, and believe I have flashed a recovery...how can I tell? this is what I followed.

Well, if you didnt receive any errors then just type in reboot recovery in adb shell or shut the phone off and then hold in the home button and the power button. The phone should reboot with the htc logo and then it will load recovery. Once in recovery you can do a nandroid backup which will create a complete image of the phone. This is good in case anything goes wrong with any future changes. You can also partition the sd card to prepare it for apps2sd. And finally when roms are created you can flash the new roms with the recovery image.

how did you guys root it?

Thor, there's a number of threads that talk about rooting now.

There's a step by step guide in this forum, and in the android development section of the hero area on the forums there's another that talks about the "one click" method that's been setup for us (flashrec). If you go to theunlockr.com ( http://theunlockr.com/2009/11/07/how...print-verizon/ ) and follow instructions there, it will also walk you through it.

It can take a moment but taking the time to do a bunch of research and looking around at both the past GSM hero rooting as well as the new CDMA rooting will ultimately answer a lot of questions that might otherwise come up.

I'm assuming wifi tethering does not yet work on the rooted CDMA Hero.

I'm not sure why it wouldn't...?

EDIT: I just got around to the rest of my tabs and see that most aren't able to make it work. Like root, it's only a matter of time now though.

i think i rooted lol even tho i dont c anything different :S
