If i want to root my Hero , i need to put InstantRoot.apk in the root of my SD card - Question: Do i need the SD card to be empty or can i do that with all my existing applications already loaded on the SD card in the phone?

Trying to root my Hero for the first time. I am downloading the InstantRoot.apk.zip file, extracting it to InstantRoot.apk, which I then copy to the root folder of the phones sdcard.
When I try to execute it, using Astro, and choose "Open App Manager", it says "Could not open /sdcard/InstantRoot.apk as a APK file". What am I doing wrong? Is it maybe the unzipping that causes it?
Sorry if this is explained somewhere else but I couldn't find it.
The instantroot.apk keeps failing on my Hero yet the only people who are supposed to have problems with this are T-Mobile users, correct?
I've got plently of space on my SD card (over a gig), my build number is 2.73.771.73, and I've got an unlocked orange(soon to be o2) sim in it.
I really want to see what I can get from rooting my phone.
Hey for anyone that needs a good memory card for their phone for music or whatever. I found a deal on a kingston class 4 8gb microsdhc for $16.95 with free shipping and no tax for most:
Kingston 8GB microSDHC Card - (Class 4) - SDC4/8GB - Buy.com
I have the Modaco latest ROM. Its been perfectly fine since I installed it over a month ago, but recently my memory card corrupted and now I cannot download any apps off the market.I had an ext2 partition, so I reformatted my memory stick the exact same way it was before it corrupted. Even so, whenever I try to download items from the market they just get stuck on "Starting Download".I literally cannot download ANY apps

I forgot to ask as well.I've searched online and the "chin" hero seems to have a little dent where you can prop it open. The Sprint Hero looks pretty solid... but I know you have to open it to replace the SD card so my question is how do I do it without ruining the molding?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a htc hero that wont mount the sd card. It has no options to mount even tho it will sync fine and charges fine. I have tried two different sd cards a PNY and a Sandisk. I had a Hero before this one that I lost and it had the exact same problem. No matter what card I use there is no mount option. I have installed usb switcher and still no mount option. I know that this is related to 2.1 cause the previous version had a mount option any ideas?

View 6 Replies View RelatedSorry if this has been asked a million times, but I can't seem to find the answers. No doubt due to my ineptitude. How much memory is std. internal? My phone says 123MB available. How can I upgrade from the std. memory (SD card) without losing my data? How large an SD card can I use in the Hero? How can I get MP3's onto the SD card? Do I have to sync with my PC? Can I load apps. to the SD card instead of the internal memory?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded my sd card from the stock 2 Gb to an 8 Gb. Looking at the size from the pc the size reported is correct, just under 8 Gb formatted FAT32. When I look at the a Total Space in the phone it reports just over 7.5 Mb. Anybody know what I did wrong.I did copy the contents of the old card to the pc first, there were no partitions and then copied the data to the new card but the size is being reported incorrectly.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've had a search around but I couldn't find an answer.If I format my SD card what exactly do I lose? I'm not too bothered about pictures and music because I can back them up, or apps either because I've never paid for one. So is it safe to just go ahead and format? It's the bog standard SD card that came with the phone.The reason I ask my SD card looks a little messy with installing and uninstalling apps that leave behind folders.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWith 2.1 update fairly imminent, I thought I'd take the opportunity to upgrade my SD card to a 4gb or even 8gb. I have had my Hero since November and love it, but I noticed recently I have just about filled my 2gb card with data.So ... what is the process involved? Is it simply a case of connecting to my PC, creating a folder and dragging the lot >>> swapping the card in the phone >> then dragging it all back onto the new card?
View 34 Replies View RelatedI've always been a Nokia fan but S60 is falling just too far behind for me in 2009. I sold my Nokia E71 and bought a Malaysian Hero (they're not available in NZ) and flashed a rooted generic firmware onto it. Very happy with the phone overall.I have a question though, I'm getting a sim card notification on the top bar thing and a blank notification entry in the pull down list. Clicking it doesn't do anything. The manual doesn't say what this means and I've found another person on XDA-Developers with the same thing. They are with the same carrier as me, Vodafone NZ.

But I still cant see my sd card in the phone on my pc, what else should i do.
My PC will only read the microSD card (2GB one supplied with the phone) installed in my HTC Hero if I remove the card from the phone and plug it directly into the computer.
If I simply attach the USB cable, a 'D:' drive appears, but I get the error message "Please insert a disk into drive D".
I used the card as is, and did not 'format' it first; should I have done this?
I'm hoping someone out there has tried this already. I'm starting to worry because I see everyone online using the T-Mobile sim card (obviously G1 users), and I'm with ATT.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the HTC Hero with cupcake (v1.5) software. I cannot browse the net using my sim card. I have tried changing the settings to use 2G and 3G. This sim card has been used on my previous mobile phone to browse the net with, yet on my sweet little hero it doesn't want to. Is there something I need to do first? (Like root the phone) One thing I have noticed is that when I select market (for example) it comes up wanting me to sign up or log into my gmail account? Is this "normal" behaviour? One other thing I need to add is this phone was bought brand new and it was not tied to a SP contract.

View 7 Replies View Relatedhas anybody successfully used a Rebel SIM card as a simple way to unlock an Orange UK Hero please. I know the pros and cons of other ways of unlocking but I am just trying to understand this way.Does it work? There is mention of some sort of software installed on the phone - does that work in Android? Can you use it to download Data? If so do you have to change all the APN settings to do so.Can it be used with the new SIM's answerphone?Do I have to trim the SIM dard in any way?I am happy with Orange in the UK (have to be since I have an 18 month contract!). However when I am in another country (e.g. USA or South Africa) I find it cheaper to buy a local PAYG SIM and pop it in my phone. That way no nasty Roaming bills when I get home. Will it work with SIMs in other countries?I know I could ask the supplier all these questions but I want to know the truth warts and all!

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy SIM card keeps "falling out" of the clip on the phone. The clip that keeps the SIM card held down occasionally "un clips", and the SIM card comes away from the place its supposed to be in, meaning I can't make calls or do anything that uses the SIM, so I have to take the battery out, press the clip back in and re-start the phone.
