Hello,
Is it possible to root the HTC Dream from rogers yet? I just purchased one yesterday and I am not sure if the procedure is the same as for the T-Mobile G1.
Thanks
I too would like more information on this. Thanks in advance.
Dream...
I believe the Dream and the G1 are actually the same devices. So what you can do to one, should also apply to the other.
I am curious to try the G1 procedure, but I am wondering a few things... Biggest thing is if rogers would be using the same key to sign the updates? and second is if downgrading to rc29 would brick my phone.
I wouldn't use the DREAIMG.NBH rooting procedure on the Rogers Dream. If I recall correctly, it includes a radio image (please correct me if I'm wrong). If that's the case, you wouldn't want to try to flash the radio from the G1 to your Rogers version that uses different frequencies.
I would venture a guess that the method Haykuro used to root the Sapphire would work, and should be safe to try even if it doesn't. Go here:
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting
I got that from a post in the Sapphire forum here on XDA Developers.
The key is to flash the recovery image with the rooted recovery image. I don't know what difference there may be between the magic and dream recovery images - you may want to grab the modified recovery image specifically for the dream and use it instead of the one on the wiki page.
Wish I had a Rogers Dream so I could try it. If any of you with this handset try it, post the result here!

I'm wondering this too. I'm not new to flashing devices etc but THIS is all new to me lol ... I found more info on This page that also explains about the radio however, I'm not sure what all applies or how things change with the Rogers phone. The more I read the more confused I get. One site said follow the link above and you wont have any problems, another said dont follow the site in order but do the radio first then flash the SPL.
Can someone please confirm the steps required to root the Rogers phone and then flash haykuro's ROgers ROM please? I just dont want to brick my device if at all possible (not that anyone really wants to brick their phones).
THanks guys!!
I am going to see if I can boot any of the recovery images without flashing them. I read in a thread thats possible....
None of the recovery images I've tried will boot on my device, Haykuro told me he's working on a solution with dream_kill to root this device.
So it can't be rooted yet?
Awwww I was hoping to put hero on

ya we must be patient.
i don't do that so well
the waiting game
I will be waiting as well. Though as soon as the US rooting procedure failed for me, I felt like Rogers had just bent me over and shoved a big rusty sand covered......you get the idea. Was it not enough to put Rogers logos all over the phone, but you had to take away our rooting ability's as well? How sad. But I like the phone too much to take it back Oh well, wait and hope for the best
All you guys (and girls) working on this, you totally rock!
Well, guess we're all in the same boat. I have been reading some of the other threads though, seems like maxawesome, has the Rogers Dream version, and had success rooting and flashing a few days ago, maybe he could share? Looks as though he is the first and possibly only to get root so far for rogers. I tried sending a pm to him, but not sure it went through. You should try, he has some posts in the "rogers rom" thread, just doesn't indicate which SPL version he ended up using.
I'm in the same boat as everyone else. Lets just hope we get to rooting our phones soon!
Just a suggestion: Perhaps you Canadians can try the goldcard method used for non-US/UK Dreams described in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485364
EDIT: Sorry, I forgot that the updated SPL may cause bricking when the older radio is used. Please disregard this post!
Wasn't it just the haykuro modified spl that caused bricking? Of course, there is more to the radio on this device, even if it doesn't brick it, may result in a non-functional radio (until the correct radio is put back).
Work in progress
I see haykuro is working on it here
More waiting and searching.
Any other updates on where haykuro (or anyone else working on this) is at?
i think haykuro is looking for a device but its still hard to find in USA.
hrmmm ... wonder if we can put a call out and some extremely generous Canadian can send one to him ... seriously if I had a way to get my hand on another one without having to fork out $700 I'd totally contribute a phone
Help...
Well I basically don't know where I am right now
Ive been researching how to mod a My-touch 3G for a long time and im a first time rooter
I'm Trying to get Cyanogen Mod 5.07 Hopefully but... I followed the directions at the Unlockr website not knowing it had different recovery than the ones needed for a CyangenMod
So I still have the old recoveries inside of my SD
I got mixed up with multiple guides about rooting my phone in the first place and there are SO MANY different things to install...
I watched many you-tube videos and now I am stuck at the last step where the new flash ROM boots... my phone just keeps flashing the android logo....
Im really confused and I dont think I know how to backup my phone if it bricks
I got scared and did a wipe on the phone after i gave up on the android logo and pulled the battery out...
I currently have the:
32A Board its a Tmo HTC Mytouch 3g Black
HTC 1.6 OTA Dev Version of Android its called - NO CLUE- : signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip file
No clue what my Radio is and I dont think i have SPL - Where can I find this?
Dont have ArmanRa's recovery installed yet...
Not sure is my SD is partitioned
and the rest im lost...
I'm really sorry for being a bad researcher and I'm emotionally corrupted now facing the fact that I just screwed up my phone ...
If anyone can help me please...it would be the most helpful piece of assurance for me
Bless You and Thank You For Your Help In Advance...
Sincerely, Jason

I have an original mytouch 3g and theunlockr.com's video helped me. Here is the link to the MT3G 2.1 rooting http://http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/ For some reason following along with a video can be more helpful than just reading. Although I do recommend reading.
But once you're rooted, load Cyanogen 4.2.15.1 and then upgrade to 5.0.7.(and flash google pack so you have Market etc...) That's just what worked for me.
Thank You So MUCH...I will be reading this!

Hi...
Well I got my MT3G BACK to CupCake Android 1.5... i unrooted it
Thanks for your Help!
But the wierd thing is that I cant seem to ROOT IT? FUNNY?
I dont know whats wrong but I followed the step and video at unlockr website and it just doesnt seem to work
and tried the androidandme site and their guide doesnt work for me too
Ive formatted my sd and did a factory reset too
I really want Cyangen 5.07 but it seems too complicated for me and I dont want to end up like before?
Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Jason
P.S. - New to The XDA Forums... and I would like to just say you guys rock! Im hoping to really submerge myself in this atmosphere b/c I want to be a future coder/software designer in the near future!

Easiest way to tell if it was rooted is to check the splash screen. The first one, not the loading screen. If it has the MyTouch Fender logo, it's most likely stock. I haven't seen anybody be able to bring that back. What else would you like to know?
I'm closing this thread because the OP posted this in the wrong section.
Next offense may result in a 1 day ban.

Hey everyone, just as the title states. I just got a MT4G and it is sick I'm going to try and sell my MT3G and was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for which rom to put on it before I do? I don't really care I guess, but maybe just a nice, stable rom...?
Thanks!
I would say sell it stock, so the person you are selling it to can get the T-mobile OTA update. That is what I would do. I just kind of depends on how you are trying to sell it. If you are selling it on CL or Ebay I would sell it stock. If you are selling it to a friend or someone you know that you can help them with it if they have any problems, sell it with a stable version of CM 6.0. Just my opinion.
When I sold my old g1 on ebay I sold it with cyanogen. I got more money for it too listing as rooted. Just my 2 cents.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
If you are selling it on craigslist I would ask the person if they would like it with a custom rom. If they have no idea what you are talking about, just sell it stock with the latest update (Froyo 2.2.1) I would do the manual update.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to get the stock rom on the phone? I mean is it as easy as flashing a rom? I want to still keep it rooted because it'll sell for more.
there should be a guide stickied on how to unroot, go back to stock, and then update to official froyo. after that just use universal androot to root it
Stock with Androot installed.
Cant find a guide on how to unroot and go to stock, I looked in the general/android dev forums. Am i just missing it?

Maybe check this thread. It might have some information for you.
[How-To] Root and un-root the T-Mobile myTouch 3G
Or this one:
myTouch 3G Step-By-Step Unroot
Do you know how I found these?
By searching for "unroot". I know it's confusing at times but at least give it a try.
Hey I'm sorry but one more question:
Do I need a SIM card to be in the phone while doing this? If I remember correctly, you can't get past the initial google setup without signing in to your google accout over the data network right?
this is a great guide for instaling froyo on your G1!

I just did myself upgrading my G1 last week, just follow this thread:

Ok, so a friend gave me his HTC Panache and I was planning on using it as a spare phone (or probably as my second line) and was poking around if I could root it. I was reading around XDA and found a way to root. However, there isn't any warning anywhere saying that the Mobilicity/Videotron Panache is significantly different from the myTouch 4G itself. I could have possibly borked this phone. It was still able to boot previously, but at a point it just hanged and started boot looping until the mobilicity logo and back to the htc logo...
so, I did a better search and found someone saying trying the factory reset option from fastboot... so I did.. however, it just got stuck on fastboot when I select factory reset, now it just stays on the htc logo (doesn't even show the mobilicity logo anymore) to no avail.
Any ideas? I'm not new to the htc land, I still have an HTC Desire Z (Vision) probably dicked around it and almost bricked it, but it is still up and running till now. What I'm new at is that this thing just won't do anything I try to make it do. :/ possibly a dead phone by now. But I suppose I could flash the stock image and get it back since fastboot still works... But I can't find the damn mobilicity stock rom... :/
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: Ok, so I did find the Mobilicity STOCK RUU... HOwever, hboot doesn't seem to flash it... It's been stuck in trying to update the bootloader... For TWO HOURS, TWICE! I don't know what to do now... And with enough views already on this thread and no response... maybe I should give up and shelve the thing... It's sad, but resources for this phone is outdated and insufficient. The mytouch 4G is fine, however, the panache, just lacks documentation.
You should read the stickies and/or Google search using the failure description. Hard to believe you'd get past the most known failure of this phone in any of its variants.
In any case, if RUU is stuck updating bootloader - your phone is dead.
Have you tried the Panache thread here on xda? Panache users might be able to help you.

I guess this phone just carries a bad chip.. I just didn't want to give up on it... I like a good challenge, of sorts... I guess I'm going to shelve this on display... Haha, I wasn't even able to really do anything to it and it died... Ah well

Nope, chip is dead. Not even Jtag can save it, according to the technician whom I brought the phone to. The phone was prone to chip failure, and a small bad flash killed it.It isn't as resilient as other phones.
