Hi all
I am planning to install some custom ROMs ( suggestions welcome, but I look forward to CyanogenMod 7 )
I have done / know the following:
My Hero is rooted ( by Z4 root and verified by rootchecker), I have latest ROM Manager, have made a full back up of the SD card in a separate HDD and made a backed up current ROM using ROM Manager. ( is this what is called Nandroid backup ? )
With ROM Manager I have successfully Flashing the recovery image so that Now CWM Recovery reads
> Current Recovery Clockwork Mod 2.5.0.7
> Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7.
( Thanks DonB )
At this stage, the hero refuses to go into recovery mode; I Have tried to reboot into recovery from CWM and it gets stuck at HTC logo, by stuck I mean I waited 25 mins, I then took out the battery and booted normally. I Switched it off, then tried the power and volume down button and same thing ( I Waited 20 mins here )
As far as I understand next I want to do a
>Nandroid Backup
> Flashing a custom ROM.
Obviously, I have done not of the above yet. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Much thanks.

PS My alternative is to uninstall sprint bloatware, I have SDK ( and JDK ) installed but as the Hero refuses to go into recovery, I cant do the needed commands
