can someone translate that post for noobs? LOL when he says "flash" I'm like how do I flash?

This is a great catch. Try it out, who would have thought. Root exploit through adobe flash light. Crazy o_O

correction.... they haven't figured out how to root the new OTA yet... this just shows you how to downgrade from the OTA so you can use the old root methods. and by the way, i just did this and it does work. thank god

i noticed many ppl in the comments were unable to see the flash page. has anyone successfully rooted with this method yet? i'm just a little confused about trying it this way since rooting my hero through sdk didn't include using flash at all. will probably try it after a few people report success

They had to do it this way because they are exploiting a security flaw within the flash pluggin.

i get why they had to do it, my issue is that i've seen more than enough comments on the above posted link from people saying they do not see the flash page. this is why i'm waiting lol also, my mac is old and when rooting my hero i needed to use another comp....so excuse #2 for waiting.

Well if you havent rooted yet, and you installed the OTA, what are you waiting for? You might as well try it.

If you read thru the thread, there is another site that you can direct your phone to. I believe any site with flash will work. I will be attempting this as soon as I get home from work.
