Great! any rom suggestions? I'm gonna miss some really nice options in CTMod.
there is only a few roms for this device, but i like Ics Fuzion by 2fast it is very stable and simple
, you can also find a cm10 rom but it is not 100% functional.

After searching the forums for days and days trying to figure out how to root my stock ROM I figured that I would just use the tutorial all the way through finish installing clock work mod then use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
is that SU needed for boost? I was under the impression that it was for sprint.
I was going to follow the directions to use 2fasts cwm. that would give root right? with the latest OTA? then with CWM i can install the rom as usual?
Also, any experience with ROM Toolbox?

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you guys. I just wanted to let you know that updating the pro did help with my phone call issue. Also I was reading about the su thing. If I recall correctly' , doesn't such and Bob get installed when you root the phone with the files and directions from the root guide?..But I do think that on 2fast website there is a zip for sure and cwm to for that matter. I also was able to find a stock rom and a root zip that you can flash rite after to gain root. Its in these forums somewhere. Jeez, wish I could keep track of this stuff.. lol. But I do have the files if you can't find them. They worked perfectly for my boost phone. Right after using these I went to the Aosense rom . Its ics with no sense and works perfect. Very fast and all stock Ics.. As long as you have a boost phone there is no issues. I sure wish that dev was still around. The only thing I missed was the HTC KB. But was able to get it modded and all is well...now for the camera?...lol

I guess that's a simple way of saying it. But yes mostly. The thing is if you follow the guide step by step..all should be well. Yes you can go back to stock after you get cwm installed. You can have stock root or no root. But be aware as far as I know from what I have read. The phone can not be relocked. Or I have also read where they say you can. But it will show in h boot that it was relocked. So, let's say you wanted to return your phone or had to send it in. I'm not sure how the carrier would handle that.? Hence the warning..you have voided your warranty. But I have rooted two of these phones with no problems.

Anyone have a link to this file?
Here is a very simple root only method from Apache Thunder. You will need to put a file on the root of your SD card. Placing a file on the root of you SD card simply means not to put it inside any folders. Whether you remove your SD card or use USB doesn't matter. The file can be found at this link https://www.dropbox.com/s/ia0yno9ws6b7pdz/PH44IMG.zip then make sure it is on your SD card.
Make sure you've copied the correct files and put them somewhere simple (C:\Android) that way it's easier to navigate to in the command prompt.

I followed the guide exactly and didn't have a single problem.
But now, my phone barely connects to the mobile network. I mostly have one bar or no connection in places where I used to have full bars. Any idea what would cause this and how I can fix it? Everything else seems to be working fine.

Thanks, but I tried that and it didn't improve my signal. I also tried "Update profile" and saw no difference.
I should also add that when I do have a signal now, I'm usually roaming. Previously my phone would very rarely be roaming.
Edit: I don't know exactly how, but my problem seems to have corrected itself. I cleared the dalvik cache a couple more times since the guide says you may want to do that multiple times, and I just messed with some other settings. Not sure what caused it, but it's working.

I couldn't find it either.
I'd advise installing CWM then you in install a rom or a stock-rooted rom.
You can find those files @ 2FastRoms
under Hero S. They're the same. I'd highly suggest Kingdom Ics xFuZiionZz-4.3.2 it's pretty stock but has some really nice extras, root privilege included.

Steeveen, If you still need the img file I uploaded it to my drop box account. Let me know..also sorry I have not been following this thread for awhile. But, did you get as far as cwm? If so there is the cwm stock backup and root zip . I can up those. I believe the link is here. Just short on time at work right now. Let me know if you want..
