HTC Hero Root - Linux Ubuntu

[ADRSCR]

So im running Ubuntu 10.10...And I really want to root my HTC Hero so I can put a custom ROM (preferably) Cyanogen...any advice on what I should do? On my hero ive got the 2.1 update and my build/software number is 2.31.651.7. Any gurus out there or this pretty much impossible? PS im a computer wizz so any questions or things that you might have will not be too complicated for me XD so any advice would be awesome thanks!

Thread moved from the GSM Hero to the Sprint/CDMA Hero section.

Make sure you're only flashing stuff for CDMA phones; GSM stuff will brick it.

You can do using the SUPER ONECLICK Method
The link is around here somewhere....

There is a precompiled SDK for Linux on the Google Development site. Just get that and go through the manual rooting process. ADB is your friend.

I can't get the Android SDK or ADB to work at all on my Ubuntu (10.04) machine (64 bit). I have tried everything, installing the 32 bit library, java, etc. Nothing works.
