In order to root a hero you need a desktop or laptop to do it. Yes you can tether your TP2 to your computer so you can download the necessary files. But I'm pretty sure you can't tether the hero to your tp2 (even if you are using it as a wifi router). I've used my hero as a wifi hotspot and wasnt able to get my pre or tp2 to pick up its signal (my laptop and friends ipod touch pick it up just fine). And I've used my tp2 as a wifi hotspot and wasn't able to tether my pre or hero either. Anyone know why this is?
