Read the bold writing at the top. When you get to the right procedure it will tell you in the before you begin that you need to downgrade if you have donut and provides the link to do so. Good Luck!

I researched it a bit from the links provided and it says that because I did the official HTC Rogers update (I'm still on cupcake though) the rooting process doesn't work. Is someone working on a way to root the phone (32A) even when it has the official HTC/Rogers update applied?

What recovery mode is showing? Amon Ra or Cyanogens? If so just download a different Hero ROM, rename it to update and put it on the SD card, then do Wipe Data and Apply Update.zip Hello RR,
