Root Rooting rogers magic questions/problems

Awesome UI, flash, multi-touch, cool widgets, better stock apps(contacts, music, etc.) It's just nice overall though there a couple things that don't seem to be working 100%.
 
what didnt work with the unlockr intructions.. sorry for going back on that one.. just seems the most straight forward one ive seen
 
I already said what didn't work about the unlockr method.

it just came up with
"E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (bad)
Installation aborted."

I don't know why. I can't imagine that I did anything wrong as it seems extremely straight forward. I don't know. You may as well try it though. When I did it, it came up with that message and then didn't do anything. It definitely didn't screw anything up. If it doesn't work, try the howardforums method. I'd be happy to help you out with it.

I went with a modified version of fatal1ty's rom available here.
Rogers Rom Repository (Check Here for the Latest Rogers/32A Ports) - xda-developers
as far as I know it is the only hero rom that currently works with the rogers/32a magic. All the other ones are for the vodafone/32b magic.
Almost everything seems to work in this rom. The camera app only works in landscape. For some reason, when you hold the phone in portrait, the accelerometer kicks in and screw things up. oh well. Also, when you try to search your programs, the keyboard comes up for a sec but then it disappears and voice search comes up. It's a bit annoying but it's not like you're losing a standard feature. You're just not gaining a feature that you should be. Otherwise, everything seems to work. Bluetooth, wifi, multi-touch, flash, and all the apps/widgets. Everything seems fine. I haven't really noticed lag either. In some cases it does lag a bit but overall it's really not too bad. I'm also told that the lag will get better after using it a bit as it will cache some things.
I would definitely recommend it. There are minor issues but they are more than made up for by everything that you gain.
 
Doesn't seem to work for phone calls. I would like to try the JacHeroski one but I need BT to work so have been waiting it out.
 
Hey guys I rooted and got the CyanogenMod ROM and installed it. Now the only problem (major) i encountered so far is that my 3G network doesn't work! How can i fix this?

*edit* Just flashed a different ROM because I couldn't fix 3G.

Also it CONSTANTLY flickers from 3G to H, is that normal?
 
yes thats normal if your with Rogers... tried theunlockr method to root phone and im stuck on ROGERS screen now... arggghh
 
ok.. i followed the unlockr method above.. after the rooting step my phone was stuck on the rogers screen.. tried lots of things and nothing worked.. so i thought wth might as well try the add rom video put the jachero rom on and it booted right up and works great.. will repost later if i find anyglitchs
