i am trying to figure out how to install this rom on my g1 it is freshly rooted g1, i had instructions for installing rom and google addons but lost page.. can anyone plase tell me where a good guide for installing this rom is? thanks
All the info you need is here:
http://theunlockr.com/category/howto/android_how_tos/htc-g1-dream-how-tos/
Or in XDA Forums. If you are rooted you are half way there, also check your SPL (you need DangerSPL).
Good luck.
To keep it simple I would just flash one of the kangs of it like cannon202's CompleteEclair 2.2. I recommend this because this rom does not require DANGER spl. Download it HERE, put it on your sdcard, turn the phone off and apply the update and the gapps.

I am having serious issues rooting the HTC Hero. I have the Ukranian version, and in order to get the Android Market I need to root the phone to try this tool.
Here are some of the details on the version my phone is running:
Firmware - 1.5
Build - 2.73.495.24 146733 CL#67791 release-keys
If anyone knows an easy way to complete the rooting process on this phone - I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if someone knows how I could get Android Market it would be very helpful. I am located in the US, and using AT&T as my carrier.
Hi, see this thread I posted on modaco forums. It seems to be the same answer, so I'll link to it for your convenience.

Welcome to the forums
here is the procedure i used to root my hero
1) create a gold card (to bypass the cid check)
2) downgrade to an older htc generic rom
3) install flashrec
4) use flashrec to flash a recovery image
5) then from recovery you can root your device
there are loads of tutorials about, the best ones are on the http://theunlockr.com/ have a look there
Do you know of an easy way to create a goldcard?
there is no easy way to create a cold card, you need to use a hex editor to merge the goldcard and ur memory card, try this tutorial

Hi, I am new to this stuff and is about to buy a new HTC hero. I followed the link posted above and it says it is for an upgraded version of HTC hero. If I buy it new from the factory, is it upgraded? How can I check the version? If it is not upgraded, can I root it first and then upgrade it?
thank you
you can root any gsm hero using the tutorials in the android development secton and from that website i posted above, when i first got my hero and read all the steps needed i was a bit overwelmed especially comming from win mo where all u need to do is flash hard spl and ur off lol but just follow the steps one at a time and b4 u know it you'll be a pro
I did the instant root method with that app that utilizes a backdoor in the bluetooth on the phone. There's an app that's called Instant root at some google page. Then i used theunlockr guides to flash amon ra's recovery image and backed up my stock rom. From there i flashed modaco 3.0.
Now i am testing the kagudroid rom from lox.
Anyway, i would recommend theunlockr guides, as they are the easiest to follow imo.
what is rooting? And what does it do?
So yesterday i decided to root my HTC magic 1.2 (my touch 3.55mm jack)
Root went well (had a small problem finding the correct sappimg but i found it,
Got Ra's recovery working as well and flashed an allmost stock fender rom/w root.
worked with no problems.
wanted to try 2.1 (eclair i think) So i flashed a str0kes rom. went easy looked cool but was too buggy for me (no usb teather! or wireless teather! or BT)
so then i wanted to try CM and i've had alot of trouble trying to understand the steps for flashing this rom, i was able to get it running (touch screen and all) but it was very slow
what i had try to do was just flash the cm mod update. (hell it worked)
then i came accross this
[Rom][32a][3.22] CyanogenMod 5.0.7-Stable Eclair 2.1 (05/28/2010) Mod Revision-2
Witch sounded awesome
I had no idea how to downgrade(i think i got close?!)
Or what i really had to do, i was able to get to the andriod screen but it hung right there. i tryed flashing the downgraded spl and rom but it refused to boot passed HTC magic screen. tryed flashing a diffrent radio and spl and it bricked (update fail ) so i have a new one on the way and my buddys to pratice on.
Can anyone help me/ explain to me how to install the oc'd rom?
Thanks in advance and sorry for you're time
If you would read, you'd notice that the newest release from Cyanogen himself says it will work with myTouch 1.2. You need the kernel for 32A, the ROM, and the Google add on. Flash them in that order and your good to go. I've been running it on a myTouch 1.2 that I rooted using instructions from unlockr and here and it works perfect.
I can't post a link, but the thread in under Dream development as Lean Mean Pastry Machine.
BTW, I would not recommend running 5.0.7 OC. 528 was FAST... Super D fast.
WEll i fugred out what lead to the bricking of my phone. apparently the downgrade guide i followed was for the older 32A models.... Dang...
So after rooting with a gold card i should flash the 32A kernel via ra's recovery then flash the cm mod?
(how do i install the google apps?)
I may try this out soon on my other my touch (brrowed my dads lol..till monday when my new one gets to me!)
The unlockrs guide was helpful, i pretty much memorized the rooting process
-creategold card
- transfer sappimg
update via hboot.
Flash radio and spl for touch screen.
Then flash amon ra's recoery rom correct?
After that i should boot into recovery flash the kernel then cm mod? should i reboot back to recovery after wards?
So can anyone hook me up with a little instruction?
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

Hi,
I bought myself yesterday a Magic (32A), but the pre-owner flashed it with Capyslide. a few things annoy me (GPS doesn´t work properly,...) so I want to recover the original status. Therefore I downloede the original Update (RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_NoDriver.exe) but it doesn´t work - what shall I do?? please help me
Download and flash CursorSense rom from here....it's based on the last official 1.5 release and with little changes to it's integrity....it's also faster then official release is. But of course there are ways of making gps work. Btw if you wish to have gps working on cursorsense or even your original rom (which can also be found here, rooted), you first need to reflash the radio because 2.1 roms don't get along with 1.5 on new radio.
no link
sorry but there was no link - how can i install it?
For that, I cannot help you because I would have to write a looong text to explain it all to you. First of all, you need to place rom in zip format to the root of your sdcard, reboot into recovery and wipe data and after that flash the rom....you can find lots and lots of tutorials here and you need to read them all....very carefully. Btw this is not for dev related, but general. And as for the links, for pit's sake, there's a search function here and also numbers down below for you to select on what page you wish to go....you'll find it probably either on this first page or second.
Moved to General since it's not about ROM Development.
flash radio
what radio should i flash?
would this be the way

hi there.
i got my legend 3 days ago
i got it from some guy that used it for a while, he told me that it has installed superuser whit it the phone can run normaly, including updates, reading every simcards etc....
now i've read that for legend is released 2.2 sw, but my phone is running on 2.1-update1
and dont show me new updates when i click to check for it...
so guys plss can some of you post me here a step by step tutorial what should i do
to get my phone running on froyo or gingerbread if its possible
ty in advanced
confused android user
There's already plenty of tutorials in Development / stickies, some are not stickied, so you might have to search a bit...
As for the update, best way for you check few ROMs and install via ROM manager since you are rooted... B0.7 is particulary good one
ok i manager to install cyanogenmod 6.1 on my legend works great
btw why i cant login my acc on XDA app in phone?
you can go to the market and download Rom Manager... my preferred way in managing rom. it can download rom too ;-), if you found new rom that you want to test other than the ones found in Rom Manager. download it and put it on the root of your sd card so that its easy to look for.
eg. Blay0's B 0.7 rom found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866849
or
CM7 from here. http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=legend
and remember to Wipe Data and Cache if its a new ROM to avoid boot loop.
you can then use "Manage and Restore Backups" to jump between roms that you've backup or rename them to not get mix-up...
Have fun ^^
Hello there, and first of all excuse my english, I'll try to explain my question as best as I can
I have an htc Surround running a custom ROM (the phone was already running an old DFT ROM when I got my hands on it), after some research I am still doubting if flashing my phone with a stock ROM can lock something making it unable to reinstall the current Custom ROM on my phone.
It's just a simple question, but can't find any clear info about that, so I am asking as my last resource, I don't want to lock the bootloader or something like that.
My plan is to install a stock ROM, then upgrade it step-by-step to 7.8 using the Seven-Eighter tool, and if anything goes wrong or I don't like it, reinstall the custom ROM from always using the RUU I have on my hard disk
If need to post some info about my phone feel free to ask about it.
Regards and thanks for reading!
Hi, it's me again
Reading more I find this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
looks like I should lose my HSPL (as I refer to bootloader in my previous post) if I flash using a stock ROM using the RUU from NODO.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.
Regards
