Hi there, first post here; although I have been reading these forums for quite a while now.
I bought a 2nd hand Hero about 6 weeks ago and thought it was already rooted but I wasn't sure. Yesterday, out of curiosity, I held the 'Home' button whilst turning on and it took me to a cyanogen 1.5 (i think) recovery screen.
I wasn't actually going to root my phone, but apparently it already has been (and I'm guessing factory reset or something), so nothing much to lose I suppose.
Basically, I have tried quite a few times with different versions of flashrec, but none of them work, even with different recovery images.
I eventually managed to flash the amon ra 1.6.2 recovery image using the 'ROM Manager' app from the marketplace (I had to flash the ROM Manager one first and then it would let me flash the amon ra).
(Apparently this is a known issue if you are on build number 2.73.xx like me so hopefully someone else will be able to confirm this definately works without a goldcard)
I have just actually done this and I'm currently running modaco 3.2 so I can confirm that this method of flashing does work (and was a lot easier than the flashrec way).
Apologies for the novel-length first post and I hope this helps someone else.
