Unable to Root my HTC Hero

[Ookami_EVO]

I'm new to rooting I successfully rooted my HTC EV 4G, but I'm unable to root my Hero. Apologies if I provided irrelevant & superfluous info, just i searched around and nothing helps. I keep getting pointed to the .5 RUU downgrade that keeps cutting off saying the phone isn't connected even though it's initially detected.

what does it mean when it says
"no sd-ext found. skipping back up of sd-ext."
"Generating md5 sum...?"
Ran into that when making my nandroid.

Only thing I can think of is to be sure you have enough space available on the sd card...you probably need more than 500MB-600MB available.
