I would like to install option 2 for the 2.1 leak onto my hero. I have tried following all the posted directions but can not root my phone. I have run into two problems.
1st, the driver. I have two laptops, one with windows 7 and one with xp. I followed the directions and made all the proper folders and downloaded the usb drivers through the sdk set up file (on both computers). Both computers find the hero when i plug it in and both automatically install a driver. I have tried clicking uninstall on those drivers but they just re-install themselves. I have tried updating them but on the win7 computer it says the driver is already up to date, and the xp computers says it can not find any 32-bit drivers. I tried skipping to the step where you back up installed apps, and the xp one said it could not install the device.
The win 7 computer led me to a second problem, the command prompt appears defective. It will let me do "cd c:\" and go to that folder but wwould not let me "cd" to android_stuff. so i changed the folder name to just "android" and that worked. then i tried to switch to "cd android-sdk-windows" and it said invalid directory. I tried renaming it, typing the whole string, and a bunch of other commands but i can not get it to go to that folder. When i type "dir" it displays the exact spelling, and no matter what it says invalid.
Any ideas? I was excited to try the leaked 2.1, but can't get past the first step!
