z4root/gingerbread

[KingRiku]

So I downloaded z4root and rooted my hero and then I used ROM Manger's Flash ClockworkMod Recovery but I want to get gingerbread. So I'm stuck on how I get it and put it on my phone really.
I'm running 2.1 btw.
Also I'm using a mac.

go here and download the zip file and save file onto root of sd card, boot into recovery and do a nandroid and then do a full wipe and flash zip of gingerbread and gaps which is the google applications

Where do I put the files? Where is the root folder?

 

[BTK-appl3killa]

its not a folder, its the main section of sd card

 

[KingRiku]

Okay so I just put the folders/file into the main sd card. My next question would be after I boot it into recovery I'm slightly confused with your instructions. What do you mean by "do a nandroid and then do a full wipe and flash zip of gingerbread and gaps which is the google applications"

 

[BTK-appl3killa]

once you boot into recovery you do a nandroid backup which will let you back up the rom you currently have on your phone, then you do a full wipe which is stated on the link i posted

Full wipe fore flashing
CWM Recovery
Wipe data/Factory Reset
Wipe cache partition
Advance/Wipe Davlik cache
Partitions Menu/Format Boot
Partition Menu/Format System
Partition Menu/Format data
Partition Menu/Format Cache


once you wipe you flash the new rom which is the zip file you saved onto root of sd card and then you flash the gapps and then you reboot phone and done

this video might help you if you need any more help on how to flash the zip files, of course the name of the files are going to be different tho, just look for the name of the files you downloaded and follow the steps

I'm off to work so hope i helped you out and have fun with the new rom

remove the battery and put it back in and power device back on and if that doesn't work then have the phone off and press volume down button and power button together and hold until you load the recovery screen and then just try and wipe and flash again
