Looks like a very useful app!
I joined the Hero club
by Gareth on Jan.12, 2010, under HTC Hero
So finally decided to upgrade the HTC Tytn II and I ditched the world of WinMo and went for an HTC Hero…
So far so good, the phone feels nice in the hand and the touch screen takes a little bit of getting used to especially for me coming from a resistive touchscreen like the Tytn II but I seem to have the hang of it now.
Have attempted to root the phone in order to put a Modaco ROM on it but I can’t seem to get through the root’ing process. I keep getting a “backup failed” message when using the FlashRec app… further investigation reveals that I’ll probably need to downgrade my hero in order to be able to root it 
UPDATE 14 January 2010: Managed to root the Hero by using the downgrade method mentioned here. It seems as though the “one click” rooting method will not work for Hero’s with a Build Version of 2.73.405.66 and a downgrade is necessary in order to root it.
