Ok I'm about to root my Hero. But I have read in several places that the recent OTA update released by HTC fixed the exploit that made it possible to root. Is this true? If so am I out of luck?

Your still in luck. Look for my thread that say guide rooting 2.1. Follow the link,you have to run the ruu with .5 and then you can. If it noting this page try page 2.
Sweet! I thought I may have been out of luck. But it's all good! I'll just post here if I run into any problems.
It should be adb. If your pc has problems with drivers install pdanet it will give you all the drivers you will need.
Ok. Well I just ended up plugging my phone in and going to Device Mangager then went to "Update Driver Software". Which does the same thing as the tutorial. But when I do the step of "Leave "Include subfolders" checked, and click "Next." Windows might ask you if you're sure. Say yes if it does." When I click next a window pops up saying this..."Windows has determined the software for your device is up to date." So if it is up to date do I just skip the step about the USB Drivers?
I would.Try to getting to the point were you type in
adb devices
If the above returns your serial number,then you should be good to go.
