This is a custom recovery based on Cyanogen's v1.4 recovery.
The purpose of this recovery is to avoid using adb by accessing all features directly from the menu.

This recovery if for the HTC Sprint Hero only, if you have an :
- HTC Hero you should go here.
- HTC Dream/G1 you should go (posting link in a min)
- HTC Magic/MT3G you should go (posting link in a min)

This recovery is for the CDMA based Hero from Sprint only!

Ext4 is NOT supported because we don't have the kernel source of the HTC Sprint Hero yet... Sorry

Use the trackball (up+down) to navigate through the menu, press the trackball to select items.
You can also use the volume keys (vol-up + vol-down) to navigate, and the CALL-ANSWER key to select items (in case your trackball is broken).

Always check recovery.log before posting your issues!

Install

There are several ways to install a custom recovery, choose the one that suits you most (I probably forgot a few).

via adb -> Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys)

Code:
Copy recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.1.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/...
adb shell
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.1.img

via fastboot + adb -> In case you don't have a custom recovery, so when you get signature fail errors

Code:
adb shell reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.1.img
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.1.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.1.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.1.img
adb shell reboot

put the recovery image on root of SD card, and from cmd prompt

"adb shell"
"su"
"cd /sdcard/"
"flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.1.img"
"reboot recovery"

Flashed and booted into recovery. I have to say that I was expecting a lot when I downloaded this. I expected it to be a change. The change is huge!! It is much cleaner and has more options, most I don't need, but at least they are there! I like the peace of mind knowing that things are around if I decide I need them! Haha. Thanks again Bradart for bringing this to PPCGeeks
