tok Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Not sure if this is the right place to say this, but I have a HTC Hero, black T-mobile version, only 1 month old available for a reasonable offer if anyone is interested. Its unlocked and rooted. regards chris 0879390566 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tok Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) Define rooted. Here is a definition of root ( link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513061) Root (as in access)- root is like the administrator account on a windows machine (also referred to as su, or superuser). It allows you to have complete access to the underlying OS of a linux or *nix based machine. For the G1, it allows for the use of themes, native backup functionality, manually selecting which apps can utilize root access, auto-rotate screen, multi-touch in browser, moving applications/caches to the sd card etc... For the Hero it is quite a complex procedure, requiring reasonable technical skills. For some (power) users this is important extra functionality, but for most users it is not so important. Although my Hero has root, I can easily remove root and reset back to the default T-Mobile settings, which will also bring back all the T-Mobile branding and apps. One further thing, having root has allowed me to add the thai fonts, so the phone can display thai correctly, there is also a thai dictionary and keyboard. If you want further information PM me.
