Root Persistent error 170

Basically I'm trying to root my htc hero (telus)(1.5) with the goldcard method.
I've gotten to the part where i created my goldcard and is about to install the ruu.
However I receive error 170 which means the ruu can't connect to the phone.
I'm just about to give up. ADB can see the phone. HTC sync software can see the phone ( tho it disconnects when ruu runs).
Ive tried everything from turning on htc sync, turn it off, fastboot, hboot, usb ruu boot, ...
Plz help

BTW using windows 7 and dont rlly have another option.
 
A little update. I was able to get it to connect however now i get error 171.
I think its due to the fact that the htc boorloader driver is not installing properly. it gives me code 38 error. but once the ruu exits the driver starts working
 
Try a different ru update m8 i had trub so went with a 1.7 and had no trub after this, google your error code and you wil find what your after
