Well if you want to know if you are rooted download shootme from the market. If it works you are rooted, if not, try again. Bootloader is normal, if you press home and get Green Writing on top of HTC then you flashed recovery correctly.

I am adding this because the app thread is buried somewhere! Moto Phone Portal works on the Hero! It has been extracted and I may know a guy who knows a guy who has it, but it will not be posted here until I am sure it isn't considered warez. It does SMS, has call log, manages address book, shows pics, changes ringtones, etc... All over WiFi! This is a powerful app! Oh USB connection doesn't work, but WiFi works while WiFi tether is still running. This is clutch! Neway, Flipz, if this isn't warez it should be in the rom for real!

You probably flashed a rom that was not rooted. It is possible. Get Fresh 1.1 and enjoy the madness.
