Most posters simply try to impress other members with their grasp of technical jargon, rather than make their points clear and easy to understand.
My question is this: Can the Sprint HTC Hero (NOT CDMA but the evdo Sprint phone) be modded with a custom ROM? If so, which one? The links I get pointed to refer only to a CDMA Hero.
Sorry if this question has been repeated too much, but after hours of searching, I simply can't find a CLEAR answer.

CDMA is the type of signal (CDMA or GSM..might be others, but those are the main 2). EVDO is essentially the speed. In Sprint's case, EVDO is basically 3G, while 1x would compare to 2G or EDGE I believe.
If you have the Sprint Hero, you have the CDMA Hero. If you're using Sprint, you're using CDMA. It's that simple.
For information on rooting, I suggest you check out XDA:
Hero CDMA - xda-developers
Do your research for a few days, maybe even a couple weeks before rooting. Always make a backup before changing ROM's, and make a backup before you do anything after rooting. Do that, and you'll be good, because you should always be able to reload that backup, but be sure to also copy those backups from your SD card to your computer.
