[ I'll send 10$ via Paypal to the person who can get me running on Cyanogen ]
Right, so I'm trying to install CyanogenMod on my Rogers HTC Dream. I've managed to get to SPL 1.33.2005.
I'm following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654
I've extracted both image files to the root of my SD card from the "givemeroot.zip" which are "radio.img" and "recovery.img" but am at a loss on how I should proceed from here. Specifically, the following statement:
"IMPORTANT: make sure you have the rom you'd like to install in the root of your sd card as update.zip (YOU WILL NOT HAVE A ROM INSTALLED AFTER YOU COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING STEPS, YOU WILL HAVE TO USE THE UPDATE.ZIP TO GET ONE)"
Is CyanogenMod considered a "rom", or am I confused? I have CM's zip file on my desktop as "update-cm-4.2.5-signed.zip" - does that mean I need to simply rename it to "update.zip"? Any help here would be graciously welcome!
Cheers!

This is the guide I followed and was much easier to follow.

That tutorial still confuses me and constantly loops you back to other articles, which in turn do the same. I'm still not where what exactly I'm expected to do at this stage.
[EDIT] I should clarify. I'm not sure what "if" applies to me in point 5. I've installed the 1.33.2005 CPL but do not believe the phone is rooted.
Ah crap, did see that you weren't rooted, sorry, but I haven't rooted in a long time and cant help you with rooting, sorry, but after you get rooted, if you have RA's recovery or Cyanogen's recovery, you can pick "Apply sdcard: Choose zip", if not, just rename update-cm-4.2.5-signed.zip to update.zip and flash it as normal using "Apply sdcard: update.zip"
Hope this helps.
Rogers, heres your root

edit: for those of you that don't know how to get to SPL 1.33.2005 i recommend reading here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532224 (under Rooting Rogers).

(note: this is for the dream, the method works for the magic you just need to flash a magic compatible recovery.img)
This requires that you use SPL 1.33.2005. (this is safe on all rogers dream devices.)
so if you don't have that already, go get it here.
once you are at SPL 1.33.2005 (AND ONLY THEN)
download this
(md5: 4a58a5702fdf899547011888d9cc066f .. sha1: 99e38e4f8798e952e67421a42e7b053ea70957b7)
extract both images wherever you'd like.
IMPORTANT: make sure you have the rom you'd like to install in the root of your sd card as update.zip (YOU WILL NOT HAVE A ROM INSTALLED AFTER YOU COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING STEPS, YOU WILL HAVE TO USE THE UPDATE.ZIP TO GET ONE)
boot into spl and fastboot (power off, hold camera button, power on, press the back arrow to get into "fastboot" mode)
type in the following:
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
POWER OFF (not reboot, power it off) THE DEVICE. (you can do this using the corresponding button [it says it on the screen] or just pull the battery [make sure everything is done flashing of course])
(if you don't boot into recovery or accidentally rebooted, just pull the battery [if you notice top left it should read "FASTBOOT" or "FASTBOOT USB" if it's plugged in] you're not bricked, you just need to access recovery, not standard boot ;P)
now hold down the HOME button and power it on, you should boot into recovery mode now, go ahead and ALT+S to flash your rom, and enjoy! now you can flash anything you see in the forums
EDIT:
So i noticed people were talking about reverting back (not sure why you'd want to )
Regardless, heres the original radio (3.22.20.17) and the original recovery (WARNING: UNROOTED) from rogers dream:
http://www.stevebirstok.com/android/losemyroot.zip
Code:
fastboot flash radio rogersradio.img
fastboot flash recovery rogersrecovery.img
fastboot erase system -w
and flash the update.zip found somewhere on this forum ;P
EDIT 2:
as far as this ram / memory loss goes:
C:\Users\haykuro\Desktop>sha1sum radiog1.img radioion.img
14163559b04ba8c9daead5e34465ebf5bafa7bd1 *radiog1.img
14163559b04ba8c9daead5e34465ebf5bafa7bd1 *radioion.img
radiog1.img is the radio.img i provide in the givemeroot.zip, radioion.img is straight off here there are no specific radios between 32A and 32B boards, so that isn't why you're losing memory. i'm trying to figure it out, so if anyones willing to do some testing and post results, please do so.

Once you do that:
1. Upgrade your recovery image to the latest Amon-RA(Link in my sig)
2. Use it to partition your sdcard w/ a FAT32, 512MB ext3 and 96MB linux-swap(backup anything you want first)
3. Put on the latest CM(flash the HTC rom and then the CM ROM as per instructions in the CM thread)
I also recommend you get the latest radio and SPL...if they're the same for rogers as they are on the G1, links in my sig. Not absolutely necessary, but nice to have so you can run any ROM you want.
has anyone tried this guide? http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod
apparently it is supposed to take me from stock rogers to cyanmod rooted i got all the way to the end where in my cmd i type erase system -w that works but when i type the next command flash system system.img it says cannot load system.img..... has anyone used this guide and can offer help? ive gone over all the steps over and over im certain i havnt missed anything
You can try verifying the checksum that is posted on the HTC download page or you could just try downloading it again in case something is corrupt.
You could also try flashing an update.zip that doesn't contain the radio. I think someone posted one a while back on the forum. Also I think if you would just skip that step your phone would still work but you would just be missing the google apps like maps. This is better than no phone for now and you can try to get it to work later.
I am getting similar problems as this user

But in my case i am having my radio and spl is correct.

I have access to fastboot and recovery so far
I have tried many firmwares in this radio as well as 6.xx radio new one. Had no problems so far. I was running a ROM on this radio itself. Then i wished to switch back to cyanogen latest. So i wiped and tried flashing the following
1/ flashed first - defaged firmware
2/ updated cyanogen 15.1 over it
3/ flashed the port of 32A
After this on booting, phone was stuck @ htc boot screen. So i again came back to recovery, and tried flashing again. This time it said a signature fail on defaged firmware file as well as other files in it.
Tried few times and still same issue.
Tried formatting sd card mounting on phone - recovery usb. but then after that it is no more detecting. I tried partitioning fat32, ext2-512mb, swap 32mb, manually through paragon and put again, still memory card not detecting. I get similar errors
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0

Just to know if it is a recovery issue, tried updating recovery in fastboot mode.

I dont know how it went from S-OFF to S-ON. And that is the reason why fastboot was not accepting anything
Then to update recovery i did adb push to /sdcard and then flashed from there. And then i got my recovery updated to 1.6.2. This confirms somewhere phone is able to write to memory card through adb, but i cannot use recovery to flash from it. memory card has no prob neither phone hardware
Still no use, memory card is not detected + cannot flash files.
My current scenario
-- my radio and spl is correct, i have recovery lates 1.6.2
-- phone has no rom now
-- i can access fastboot and recovery
-- my signatures - S-ON so cannot use fastboot to flash anything
-- memory card not detecting, tried 1-2 memory cards. All detecting on pc
didnt you forgot to flash samming.img? BEcause without that, it wont turn off. Try flash again, use a gold card if doesnt work. Download from here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/267446145/2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip
hope it helps
I did not forget to flash that, it was not something i wanted. My phone was a completely rooted phone with everything running perfect. I was just reinstalling cyanogen from start.
Regarding goldcard, I couldnot find my sdcard CID, so could not create it.
create a new one. Create gold card from the recovery option. You can coonect your SD card to your computer with the phone in recovery mode, there is a MS Connect menu, select that one. you can get the CID and do the process again.
If i were you i would run HTC update from a SPL edition wich would be able to root and do all over again for safe keeping.
how to create gold card from recovery ? my memory card is anyway not mounting on recovery now
regarding getting cid, on memory card reader i couldnot get cid, maybe my card reader is not worth providing such info
thirdly, i have tried updating using original ruu, it fails in the stage of update where it says rebooting into bootloader.
I tried the same in fastboot mode, normal mode and recovery. Nothing works, except 1 change that in fastboot mode, it turns the phone to stuck at the fastboot screen and i have to pull out battery.
Any other options ?
before starting the phone, you press Power+Home, and you'll have the custom recovery option right?
There is a option called: "USB MS-Toggle" activate it , From that option you can get a CID without any problem and recover everything
have you tried a G1 method?

Just as we do any flashing. put to sd card and flashed through recovery in this order(PLZ READ MY FIRST POST COMPLETELY)
1. defaged firmware
2. cyanogen latest update over it (without rebooting)
3. 32A port
what did you had before as radio ? Hboot? Etc
Have you tried to download a oficially signed from HTC Hboot and in fastboot flashing it ?
try the following to see if works.
1)Link your Phone to your computer, run it in fastboot mode.
2)Run a HTC update (choose anyone)
3)Click next until the update confirmation part.
4) run %temp% and you'll find Rom.zip and rom1.zip , copy to a folder and unzipit. Close the update app.
5) collect the following files:
userdata.img
system*.img
Splashe*.nb0
recovery.img
radio.img
hboot*.nb0
boot.img
(The ons with * are the version of the following update you are applying)
6) Zip to a samppimg.zip, put on the SD card and enter in HBoot mode (Volume down+power)
PS: i dont know if works, and it might become worst but try at your own risk. Never passed throught that situation. Last optiion read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655097 and follow the JTAG Hack option. I Dont know any other way.

Backup, root, overclock etc...
Anyone who helps will receive a guaranteed prayer from a religion of their choice
download eclair rom from shipped roms, install it, then download unrevoked, root with it and youll get custom recovery also with unrevoked, after that follow some other guides how to properly flash a custom rom thru that recovery.
(before the rooting part, install htc sync to get all the needed drivers. WARNING: before using unrevoked to root the device, uninstall just htc sync but everything else that was installed with it - leave it installed. btw im atheist )

The phone is not rooted. ROMs are rooted. You can very well follow that guide, but, I used Fastboot to install ClockWorkMod Recovery (Which is having all those options you are listing - ie Nandroid, Install ZIP From SDCard etc).
The Fastboot method needs just one command to install Clockworkmod Recovery, but needs to have Android SDK installed. If you are willing to do that:
- Download Android SDK - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
- Download ClockworkMod Recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014498
- Extract the Recovery.img file from the 2nd link, and place it in your SDK Setup Path / Tools (eg: C:/android-sdk-windows/tools)
- Open a Command Window (cmd)
- Browse to the tools folder in this Command Window
- Type the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- It will install ClockworkMod Recovery, you are done.
Then, simply follow Part 3 of this guide to install Custom ROMs and Stuff:

long winded way of doing it
we need a step by step with pics or at least a video on youtube, theres nothing there at teh moment.
Once you have S-OFF follow these steps:
1. Get fastboot.exe, CWM and the su binary from the attachment below, make sure you extract the archives.
2. Download Android SDK from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Install SDK to C:/, place fastboot.exe and the recovery.img in android-sdk/platform-tools
3. Shut down phone, get into bootloader (volume down + power button)
4. Select FASTBOOT using volume keys, press power button (you are now in fastboot mode)
5. Connect phone to computer, select disk drive.
6. Open cmd, type cd C:/android-sdk/platform-tools
7. now type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.2-j_r0dd_mod-buzz.img" (no quotes)
8. Now you should have Clockworkmod installed, but still no root so:
9. Copy su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed to sdcard.
10. Get into bootloader again, select recovery.
11. Select "install zip from sdcard", confirm with trackball.
12. Scroll down to su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed, confirm the install, now you are rooted!
13. Do a nandroid backup from clockworkmod.
14. Repeat steps 9-12 but use the ZIP of ROMs, Kernels or Radio if you wish. Wipe all data before installing a fresh rom (ty calyxim ^^)
Complete list for ROMs/Kernels/Radio here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318
I hope this is clear enough?
Thanks mate. Worked wonders. In what religion would you like your prayers?
I would like to make an addition to step 14; Wipe all data before installing a fresh rom
This is the most idiot proof way i could find, and that i could use lol..... big props to Nejc121
nejc121 said:
Okay, it took me some trying and stuff but I finaly found a way!
Okay, this is going to be simple step-by-step
FirsT: Copy this to the root of your SD card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=548407&d=1300751790
Second: Go into HBOOT and click yes when it asks you to update (note: Please make sure your SD card is FAT32 and not FAT, it must be FAT32 for this step to work.
Third: Remove the img file from your sd card and add this file: http://bit.ly/su2361ef
Fourth: Go into HBOOT and click Recovery!
Fifth: Click install zip from sdcard (or some thing like that)
Sixth: Click choose zip from sdcard
Seventh Locate your zip and let it update
AND YOU'RE DONE!
Have fun being free!
If you're having problems with the HBOOT not detecting the .zip update, please check if you SD card is FAT32.

Try renaming 'recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.2-j_r0dd_mod-buzz.img' to 'recovery.img'. I had to do this in Linux, but worked fine after.

installing and uninstalling htc sync helps. just to extract drivers I suppose...
Clockwork mod doesn't work properly for me. Whenever I select any option the menu disappears and the background just sits there. I can click really fast and it will just reappear and disappear rapidly.

That wait is normal if it below 2-3 min. But if it takes longer u should check the drivers.
That wait generally occurs if u connect the device after entering the command (happens to me everytime). If it is so, shouldn't disconnect the device and wait for a while till it detects.
If it is not so and wait is longer, then go for reinstalling the drivers.

This occurs when pressing vol down + power on a full booted phone.
U should not do this. Switch off the device and then hold vol down + power. There goes into hboot mode. And for that recovery installation u should go into fastboot mode though from there.
as it was now clear, the waiting shouldn't be there now. Enter fastboot mode and try it

Seems like your answer is how to root a working device - or am I not reading this right?
Similar problem I have after trying to flash a different ROM.
Download a fresh ROM to your SD card. Go to recovery(power button plus volume down) wipe cache/factory default, then wipe cache and dalvik. Do this 4 or 5 times. Then attempt to install the ROM.
My phone acts like a crack head for some reason and I have go through this WHOLE process 5 or 6 times to get it to fully load and work if I flash a new ROM.

Quick update to the above ("lost me there") message:
I saw this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843289 which has stock recovery images, but since adb won't recognize the device, it's not a big help (again, I might be missing something).
What exactly were you doing when this occurred? Dos you install a recovery from rom manager?
Hold the power button and volume down. Then use the volume button to scroll down to recovery. Hit the power button to select it.
Next you'll use the track pad to select items.
1. Wipe cache/factory
2. Wipe just the cache
3. Go to advance and wipe dalvik
Do those 3 steps a few times.
To install the Rom.
Choose the option "install zip from SD" find the Rom you put on there and select it. After its done installing DO NOT TOUCH THE PHONE! Let it sit 5 minutes then restart. I noticed on mine if i back out right after install I have some lag and the damn thing will boot loop.

do you know whether or not you have the good or bad chip?
I'm pretty new here but as I documented the process of modding my own phone I thought I'd share it with you. I didn't invent any of these processes and this information is available from many different sources. I've tried to credit any source material that I've used verbatim. I am by no means an expert.
Please reply back with any corrections and I'll be happy to edit the post.
This guide describes how to take a HTC Desire HD (mine was fully patched with OTA updates including Sense 3.0), unlock it and install CyanogenMod onto it. It worked for me but it might not for you. I don't take any responsibility for you turning your phone into a brick!
Pro Tips
Remember, in any steps requiring the phone to be powered off, just give it a minute to make sure that it is properly turned off.
Understand what's happening! If you get what's going on, you've more chance of fixing it if it goes wrong. This process describes how to use HTCs official method to unlock the bootloader. This allows you to change the operating system on the phone. The phone contains a recovery system which we an engineer can boot into to replace the main operating system if it becomes unbootable. We are going to replace this stock recovery system with a modified one which allows us do fiddle about with the phone's internal partitions. Once we have the modified recovery system in place we use it backup the existing phone operating system and replace it with a modified one. We can also use it to restore the original one again if things go wrong.
Read all of the instructions properly first! Don't go off half-****ed!
As far as I'm aware you can't reverse the official HTC bootloader unlock (i.e put your phone back *exactly* as it was) and it may effect your warranty. You have been warned!
Unlock the Bootloader
INFO: You can use the HTCDEV unlock bootloader method from HTC as an 'official' means of unlocking the bootloader. Confused? Check out the official site: http://htcdev.com/bootloader/ I'm not going to describe it step by step here because HTC do that quite well enough themselves.
Quick tip. If when going from one step to another on the HTC website you come to a white screen, that may be because you've been logged out. Just go back to the first page, log in again, then go back to the last step you completed.
Another quick tip. Make sure you properly install everything HTC tells you to. We'll need it all later...
Installing recovery mode
INFO: The stock recovery mode itself is pretty basic and can't do much, so we need to replace it with a custom recovery image.
We're going to use the clockworkmod recovery image which you grab from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4518713/archive/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7.111102-j_r0dd_mod-ace.zip (originally seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118865)
Make sure that the fast boot mode on your phone is disabled. You can find this in your power settings menu.
If the phone is connected via a USB cable then unplug it.
Power off the phone using the power button and leave it alone for a minute.
INFO: To flash the new recovery image to the phone, you need to reboot the phone into the bootloader so that you can select a new image to boot. The bootloader is known as HBOOT.
Boot into HBOOT by holding down the 'volume down' button and pressing the power button.
By default FASTBOOT is selected so just press the power button to access it.
Attach the USB cable and note that FASTBOOT changes to FASTBOOT USB
On your PC open cmd prompt and cd to the platform-tools directory of the android sdk. Mine is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>
Copy the .img file from the clockworkmod zip file we downloaded earlier to the platform-tools directory. Rename it recovery.img
Go to your command prompt and issue this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
INFO: The recovery image will then be written to your phone, and as long as everything went well you'll get a message saying OK.
Ensure that BOOTLOADER is selected in the HBOOT menu and press POWER button to select it. Now you're back at the HBOOT menu.
Use the volume buttons to highlight RECOVERY and press the power button to select it. After showing you the HTC logo, the phone should boot into recovery mode!
Backing up your phone
Using the volume buttons to select move to the 'backup and restore' option in the menu. Use power to select and use the backup option. This backs up your current phone setup to the SD card.
Select power off to turn off you phone. Leave it a few secs - select reboot system now.
When your phone is backup and running, mount it in mass storage mode and navigate to the root of your SD card. See the folder called 'clockworkmod'? copy that along with everything in it to your computer and put it somewhere safe. That's your backup. If needs be, you can use this backup your phone back to the original state!
Installing CyanogenMod (other mods may vary)
Mostly taken from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide with some extra stuff that messed with me when I tried to do it.
Download the latest version of CyanogenMod from http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=ace
Download the Google Apps for the device. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps
Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the SD card.
Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the SD card also.
Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and the power button to select.
Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
And the option to wipe the Dalvik cache
Select Install zip from sdcard.
Select Choose zip from sdcard.
Select the CyanogenMod update.zip.
Select Install zip from sdcard
Select Choose zip from sdcard
Select the Google apps zip
These extra steps seem to have been required by people in this thread. All credit due to marsdta and theluckster for their suggestions. I've edited this guide to include the instructions here where they are more visible.
On your computer extract the ROM zip (e.g. update-cm-7.1.0-DesireHD-signed.zip) and there should be a file inside it called boot.img. This should be flashed automatically, however for some reason via the HTCDEV method it is not.
To do it manually, you need to enter fastboot mode, as per the instructions above:
Boot into HBOOT by holding down the 'volume down' button and pressing the power button.
By default FASTBOOT is selected so just press the power button to access it.
Attach the USB cable and note that FASTBOOT changes to FASTBOOT USB
Then on your PC, in the directory you extracted the zip file run:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once the installation has finished, select Go Back to get back to the main menu, and select the Reboot system now option. The phone should now boot into CyanogenMod.
Now wait for what seems like an incredibly long time with the phone showing the 'htc' screen.
INFO: The phone should now boot into CyanogenMod!
Restoring your phone - When things go wrong
OK, so you flashed a bad mod. Time to restore.
First up, put the backup you made in the previous step onto the root of your SDcard (if it isn't already there). Then, I came across this video which seems to explain things pretty well
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUYGe8mmNWU
The basic gist of it is, boot into recovery mode, format the cache, data and system partitions, wipe the Dalvik cache, then restore the backup from your SD card.
Wow thanks a lot!
I personally have 1 problem:
Step 12 of the "installing recovery mode" when i type in the command in command prompt is says:
'error: cannot load recovery.img'
I placed it in the same folder as fastboot en renamed it "recovery.img".
I unlocked the bootloader succesfully btw..
Any thoughts?
I think you should contemplate using attn1's ace hack kit to gain bootloader unlock instead of voiding your warranty.

Well I've already unlocked the bootloader through htcdev.
But tried the Attn1's as well...ended up saying:
/data/local/tmp/goldcard.img: cannot open for read: No such file or directory
starting downgrade...
** The phone will now reboot into HBOOT.
** It will then check the file just sent.
** If everything is okay, the phone will
** prompt you to continue by pressing
** VOLUME UP. It will reboot, flashing twice.
The phone did not prompt me to continue by pressing volume up.
When i start clockwork recovery it states i should root my phone...
So a lot going wrong and i can't figure out what..
how long the htc screen? I'm waiting for a looooong time
Thanks for the tutorial. I've followed the instructions and managed to unlock the bootloader and install ClockworkMod, however after flashing CM7 and rebooting it is stuck on the H3G boot screen (isn't flashing CM7 supposed to overwrite the boot logo?). I'm trying to flash:
update-cm-7.1.0-DesireHD-signed.zip
gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
I've double checked /data, /system, /cache and Dalvik-Cache have been wiped before flashing but still no avail
Here are the versions from the bootloader:
***UNLOCKED***
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0029
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot

I am able to restore the backup, but flashing any other ROM just doesn't boot.
The guide is missing one key step . Flashing the boot image.
So after flashing your from boot back into boot loader and flash your roms boot.img.(just copy it over to your fast boot file)
Then run the command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reboot . Done.
You'll have to do this every time you flash different roms. 4ext has a nice feature of doing this for those that have HTC unlocked you should try it out

I didn't set notifications on this post and forgot it existed till today. I've updated the guide with the information posted by marsdta and theluckster to make things clearer. Sorry about any confusion caused by missing that step out.
the boot screen shows cyanogen(mod)7 instead of the regular HTC sign!! Following each and every step I landed up here. And now I am stuck, cuz this boot screen has been there for like half-an hour....does it mean something is wrong or does it take this much time to load first???
Hello,
for HTC dev unlocked bootloader (about what is added after step 15 in "installing cyanogen" phase) : it seems that the boot.img must be flashed before installing the .zip from sdcard.
I got stuck for that. Could be worth to make it clear.
Great tutorial anyway, thank you !

It shouldn't matter. I've seen people do it both ways and it worked fine for them.
@ash win. Your in a boot loop. Did you do a full wipe before flashing? Could be just a bad flash. Go back and reflash the rom and boot.img. you should also verify the md5hash to make sure yous didn't get a corrupt download file.
Just finished the tutorial, works perfectly. Thanks for writing it.
Does this unlock you from the network, i.e. is this the alternative to paying £15 for an unlock code?
I do understand this is for modding and flashing to a new ROM, but I am wondering if it also unlocks the phone from your network (or maybe that is IMEI based).
This is not for any illegal purposes, just I fancy a new ROM and I am now out of contract, so happy to experiment with flashing.

No, you need the aahk for that. That gives you sim unlock as well. Just Google attn1 aahk and you'll find it
