So I went about rooting my phone so that I could flash the Hero Rom and was going along fine. Downgraded to 1.0 and Emulator connected all that. Then I went through the google set up and emulator did not run anymore (typed in su and said denied) At any rate, I just quit trying to root and just wiped clean, but I was stuck at firmware 1.0. I ran terminal emulator and typed in su and it said denied, so I assumed my phone was not rooted. Since it wasn't I tried to manually update with Cupcake/Donut but it said signature verification denied or whatever. So i updated with JF1.5 instead and it worked.

My first question is

1.do I have root access?

and my Second question is

2. What other roms can I just download, rename as update.zip and have unpack?(as JF1.5 did since I obviously do not have the skills yet to flash Hero).

Thanks in advance for helping a noob. Hopefully one day I will gain knowledge!

You do have root . You need to download a superuser perissions app from the market. Go to the terminal , type su , then give the superuser permission app permision(always allow) , then you should get a # symbol .

Thanks for the help! Is there a way to give rep points? I could not see it but I would if I could. You saved me $25 and I was able to flash hero rom myself and am very satisfied!

the only way to give rep points is by hitting the link on the top of my post that looks like a scale . you cant give me ant points , you dont have enough posts . but you still "give" me rep . anyways , i appreciate the though . thanks again :D
