Merged "2.1 rooted" with "Root Status to Official 2.1 Update from Sprint"

Nah you'll be fine with the wifi tether. I use it all the time sometimes around 7-8 gb per month and I never get charged. Sprint says for 3G you have a 5gb limit but I haven't seen them charge yet.

Works perfect, I am rooted and using all the goodies made only for root users!

I can't get the method to work, but it is a problem on my side I am sure. I can't get past the ADB step, there is nothing listed. I get the ADB is out of date... HTC Sync seemed to install just fine but I can not sync my phone. I can see the phone when I plug it in via usb to swap files on the SD card but I can not get HTC Sync to recognize my phone. I have restarted both several times, and just no luck. I have had the phone search for HTC Sync but it doesn't find it. Anyone have any suggestions? I just want root my phone and it seems that I can not do it without HTC Sync. If this is in the wrong place, sorry. I thought it was related since it is stopping me from rooting.

For those who rooted the official 2.1 ROM, which custom have you gone with and why?

FYI... I had gone from a custom ROM on a WinMo HTC Touch to the Hero and had put off rooting until the ROMs were based on the official 2.1 version.

I really liked the PureHero roms. Especially 1.0. It's not based on the official release however. I've sold both my heros so I can't be of more help than that.

Personally in my opinion Fresh 2.1.2 was very stable, responsive and had the best battery life, but flashing different roms from different chefs is the only way your going to find out which you like better. There's not to many chefs on here for the Hero but there's a lot of links of roms that people like in the Upgrades section that will take you to different chefs on XDA- Developers. Hope this helps
