Threads are already available for each activity above, but for a new comer, it is difficult to understand the link among them. First few posts will be updated regularly to try to make it as easy as possible for new comers.
First post is reserved for basics, explaining the over all concept. This will be followed by four more post explaining steps for each one.
Before starting, why do we need to do this? What will we get out of this, if you are a regular phone user?
Get Power to install more application
By default Android phone (OS version till 2.1, not 2.2 and later) does not allow you to install applications on SD card. SD card can be used for storing data, not application. This limits your capability to install more and more applications / games If you follow procedure four, all market applications will automatically install in SD Card.
Overclock
All mobile phone processors speeds are configurable. Step 5 and 6 will allow you to either overclock your phone, which will increase the speed or under some critical condition, you can also reduce speed to increase battery life.
Connect your Laptop/PC with internet through Phone
Wireless tether, which allows you to use your phone as modem.
Use adware application without ads
Some applications requires special permission like AdFree. After installing AdFree, you can enjoy ad enabled freewares with out ad
If you do not foresee any requirement for above mentioned points, you can live without root.
Credits are mentioned in next set of posts as it will be actually linking to actual post. Along with link, I will build FAQ, which shall list known questions and answers.
Special credits:
1. regaw_leinad: His ROOT 2.1 thread never gave me a chance to ask a question. Gave me the required confident to root my phone.
2. nfinitefx45: For guiding my first flashing and partitioning. Even though information is available in this forum, but it is scattered. It doesn't give enough confident for a newbie to start. He just guided me with steps / links. Some of the points in this thread are based on his comments.
1. How to root HTC HERO SPRINT CDMA?
Following thread by regaw_leinad is an excellent thread providing step by step procedure.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
Known issue faced:
1. Ensure that you are not running sprint update 2.27.651.6. It is explained in first and second post. If you are already running 2.27.651.6, follow second post in that thread and then follow first.
2. If you are planning to use custom Kernel and over clocking, it is suggested to use recovery image mentioned just after step 10 in that post. It will ask you to loop back to step #9. Just follow.
If you are thinking, what will you loose by downgrading to 2.27.651.5, custom ROM installation procedure will take care of same.
How to backup SD card (along with nandroid backup)?
If you want to install applications in SD card, you need to partition your SD card. This will lead to complete data loss.
Steps mentioned in the thread above will create a backup of your phone in SD card. It is advisable to keep a copy of the same in some other safe location. This will be handy, if it is required for recovery.
Option #1: Easiest way is to switch off your phone. Pull micro-sd card, mount it in your PC using a card reader. Perform a copy.
Option #2: Through phone menu (Settings -> Connect to PC -> Default connection type -> Disk drive), prepare SD card data data transfer using unmount SD card and copy data from SD card to PC. This is also safer option. This option might not work starting Android 2.2, since unmounting SD card will force close all application installed in SD card. If you are using A2SD, it works as A2SD uses different partition. Read here
In both cases, you need to ensure that you have copied/backed up /nandroid/ directory of your SD card. If you are planning to perform partition, back complete SD card to your PC.
Now you are ready for partition.
How to get partition your SD card for getting it ready for A2SD?
1.What is A2SD?
As mentioned in first post, by default Android phone (OS version till 2.1, not 2.2 and later) does not allow you to install applications on SD card. SD card can be used for storing data, not application. This limits your capability to install more and more applications / games If you follow procedure four, all market applications will automatically install in SD Card.
2. Why does it require partition?
By default all your SD cards will have FAT16 or FAT 32 partition. To run application through SD card you need EXT3 or EXT4 partition. In addition, it is advisable to provide some SWAP partition to OS, which will enable it to store data of running application in SD card.
3. Why will it lead to data loss?
Standard procedure will format SD card and re-partition it. It means you will loose data. Commercial tools are available to re-partition without data loss, but I have not tried it in recent past. If required do a google.
4. What is the procedure?
Critical : BACKUP YOUR SD CARD TO YOUR COMPUTER. Steps are in the post 2 of this thread.
Following steps are taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6292446&postcount=1
Step #1: Reboot into recovery. Post #9 explains the same
You will get into Android System Recovery.
Step #2: select Partition sdcard
To move up/down, you need to rotate TRACKBALL. To select the option, press TRACKBALL.
You will get into Partition sdcard menu.
Step #3: select Partition SD
Step #4: It is menu driven. Just follow instruction. I have allocated 64Mb for swap, 1024Mb for EXT and rest for data. It is not advisable to allocate more than 1024Mb for EXT.
After this step you will get back to Partition sdcard menu. Now you need to change your partition type to EXT3.
Step #5: select SD:ext2 to ext3
Step #6: As most of the ROMs are not supporting EXT4 (especially Sprint Stock ROM), do not upgrade SD:ext3 to ext4
Step #7: Press the back button on the phone to go back to the main menu.
Step #8: Select Reboot system now.
This will reboot your system. You would have lost all your SD card data. Now you are ready to flash new ROM.
Step #9: Select If you had taken backup of your data earlier, you can restore them now. In particular, to flash your ROM, you need to copy ROM ZIP file to root directory of your SD Card..
Steps for those struggling with partition option (ie step #4):
Step #4.1:
Partition sdcard?
Press HOME to confirm.
any other key to abort.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
press HOME button
Use trackball or volume-keys
to increase/decrease size.
HOME to set (0=NONE) :
Swap-size = 32 MB
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Using TRACKBALL select 64 MB.
Press HOME to set.
Ext2-size = 512 MB
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Using TRACKBALL select 1024 MB.
Press HOME to set.
FAT32-size = Remainder
Continue partitioning?
Press HOME to confirm.
any other key to abort.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Press HOME.
It will take few minutes.
Your card is ready (with out data ).
How to install preferred ROM?
Next step is to flash a custom ROM. I successfully flashed ROM available in thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703267
It is based on Sprint 2.27.651.6 STOCK. You need to download HeroCSprint_2276516-xxxxxxxxxxxxx from that thread.
Step #1: Download required ROM. Ex: Sprint 2.27.651.6 STOCK Deoxed w/A2SD Update 3 has HeroCSprint_2276516-... Size of the ROM will be approx 100 MB to 150 MB
Step #2: Copy downloaded ROM to root directory of SD card. It shall be available in /sdcard/. For copying, you can use the steps followed to copy files from PC to phone which you were rooting the phone by getting into adb shell. Keep the file as ZIP file only. Do not unzip.
Step #3: Reboot your phone in recovery mode as mentioned in post #9
Step #4: From Android system recovery screen select Wipe option. Rotate TRACKBALL to highlight the required option and press TRACKBALL to select
Step #5: You need to wipe data, dalvik-cache. If you are already having A2SD, you shall wipe SD:ext partition.
Select them one by one and press HOME button to wipe data.
Step #6: Go back to main menu by pressing BACK button
Step #7: Select Flash zip from sdcard
Step #8: Select the just copied ROM from the list of zip files.
Step #9: Press HOME button confirm flashing
Step #10: It will install ROM. Once completed system will go back to main menu.
Step #11: Reboot by selecting Reboot system now option.
Enjoy your new ROM.
How to install a custom kernel?
It turned out to be simpler that what I thought.
Step #1: Download required kernel.
With Sprint 2.27.651.6 STOCK Deoxed w/A2SD Update 3 ROM mentioned above, DarchKernelv4 710mhz with Free Memory Tweak For Infinitefx Kernel is found to be working.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step #2: Copy the zip file Infinitefx_v4_710_M.zip to root directory of sdcard.
Step #3: Reboot you phone in recovery mode. Refer to post #9
Step #4: From Android system recovery screen select Wipe option. Rotate TRACKBALL to highlight the required option and press TRACKBALL to select
Step #5: You need to wipe dalvik-cache. As you are only updating kernel, you need not wipe data and ext partition.
Select them one by one and press HOME button to wipe data.
Step #6: Go back to main menu by pressing BACK button
Step #7: Select Flash zip from sdcard from menu using trackball
Step #8: Select the zip file copied into sdcard in step #1.
Step #9: Press HOME button
It is advised to once again wipe dalvik-cache post kernel flash.
Step #10: From Android system recovery screen select Wipe option. Rotate TRACKBALL to highlight the required option and press TRACKBALL to select
Step #11: You need to wipe dalvik-cache. As you are only updating kernel, you need not wipe data and ext partition.
Select them one by one and press HOME button to wipe data.
Step #12: Go back to main menu by pressing BACK button
Step #13: Reboot the phone by selecting 'Reboot Phone' option
Your phone is ready. 710 Kernal will by default set the clock speed as 710Mhz. You can adjust the speed by using market applications.
Frequently asked questions.
A. How to upgrade from 2GB to 16GB micro-sd
Step #1: Ensure you are using RA 1.6.2 as recovery image. It will be the last line in your phone, when you are in recovery mode (Check Post #9). Lower and upper versions are being reported as having some issue as on this date. If you are having any other version, Flash RA 1.6.2
Step #2: Take nandroid back up on you phone on old SD card and save it in your PC. (Post #2)
Step #3: Nandroid would have saved backup of your phone in SD card. Mount your SD card in your PC and take complete backup of your SD card's FAT32 partition.
Step #4: Prepare your new SD card as mentioned in post #3.
Step #5: Once you prepared your new SD card, mount it in your PC.
Step #6: Restore your backed up copy of old SD card to new SD card(on FAT32 partition)
Step #7: Boot your phone in recovery mode.
Step #8: Perform a nandroid restore. You need to restore from new SD card.
Step #9: Reboot your phone. You shall be up and running now using your new SD card.
B. SWAP and Dalvik-cache on SD. What can go wrong?
1. Enable Dalvik-cache on SD card, only if you have at least CLASS-4.
2. Enable swap on SD only if you have at least CLASS-6.
SWAP / Dalvik-cache might perform frequent read-write on your SD card, which might impact its life.
C. How to flash adhoc update zip
If you come across instruction to flash some zip file,
1. Copy that file to your /sdcard/ (root directory of SD card).
2. Reboot you phone in recovery mode. Refer to post #9. Then follow the instruction from Step #7 in this post. (ie. You need to perform Flash zip from sdcard)
D. How to take screenshot of phone
1. Connect your phone to PC
2. Ensure PC has ANDROID SDK installed
3. Goto tools directory of Android SDK.
4. Execute a batch file called DDMS
5. Select your device.
6. Then from menu, goto Device, Screen Capture (or Ctrl+S)
7. Save the screenshot
8. Detailed steps can be found at how-to-take-screenshots-of-android-device or at how-to-capture-screenshot-on-android-phones
How to remove default applications?
Even though steps are simple, it is advised to follow it under expert guidance. You shall know what you are doing and do it properly.
Step #1: Get into android SDK tools directory to access adb program. You should have learnt it by now. (Or refer to post #2 and ensure adb devices lists your device)
Better to keep a backup of application you are going to remove.
Step #2: Reboot your phone in recovery mode (Post #9). Expert might state it is not required, but will prefer this way.
Step #3: Enter following set of commands one by one in command prompt.
md c:\backup\AfterRootAPKBackup\
adb shell mount -v /system
adb pull /system/app/ c:\backup\AfterRootAPKBackup\
adb shell umount -v /system

First command will create a directory in your PC to keep backup.
Second command will mount internal ROM and make it available for you to play.
Third command will make a copy of all installed applications.
Fourth command will unmount the internal ROM.
Your mobile shall still be in recovery mode.
Step #4: List contains application, I have removed 20 days back and my mobile is still working without any issue. To remove them get into adb shell first.
adb shell

Nice job! I expect to link to this info often when helping out the new folks. I was one once and was guilty of not reading as much as I should have. I think they get intimidated by having a question and then seeing 1,800 posts! Yes, the search button is there but, you know..... This would have helped me a bunch.
Great idea. Thanks for the work. This would have come in quite handy when I was first getting started. I think I read for 3 weeks before I tried my first root and rom.
I read that it is a good idea to wipe dalvik after flashing a new kernel

• Your custom ROM will be: Eos-umts_everest-71.zip. This is the latest ROM released on May, 2012. Very stable and everything works with it. No issues found. http://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/nightlies/umts_everest/• Your GOOGLE APPs (GAPPs) would be: gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip http://goo.im/gapps
Full thread in details can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1459641
To summarize:
First, download the above ROM and GAPPs and put them onto your xoom internal and external SD card. Put them under /mnt/sdcard for internal sd, and under the root of your external sd card.
To download:
• Get the Motorola USB drivers to your laptop: http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers/
• Get the Android SDK to your laptop: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
• Recovery Image: http://goo.im/devs/teameos/recoverie...ecovery-r6.img
• GAPPS: http://goo.im/gapps, your GAPPs would be: gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
• ROM: Your custom ROM will be: Eos-umts_everest-71.zip. This is the latest ROM released on May 2012. http://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/nightlies/umts_everest/
Steps:
1. Power off your XOOM device.
2. Press and hold the volume down button while pressing the power button at the same time. Note: Even if your xoom starts again, just keep the button pressed until you see "Starting fastboot protocol" on the screen.
3. Connect Xoom to your computer via USB.
4. Open a ‘Command Prompt’ or ‘Terminal’ window on your computer in your sdk/tools folder. This is the sdk you downloaded above.
5. unlock your xoom and flash the recovery image. The recovery image should be in your current working directory where you have command line navigated to: Type:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery eos-recovery-r6.img
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery
Now, you have your device unlocked and recovery installed.
Reboot your xoom by selecting the option "reboot system now" from recovery. you can navigate up and down using the volume buttons. Once an option is highlighted, press the power button to select, you will still have your old ROM.
To flash the other ROM downloaded above,
1. Boot into recovery by:
i. As soon as you hit the reboot command above, you should see a Motorola logo appear. Wait 3 seconds and tap the Volume down button and the words Android Recovery should appear on the screen. When you see that, tap the Volume up button and you’ll boot into recovery.
2. From within Recovery, perform wipe data, wipe cache, and go to advanced, wipe dalvik cache and battery stats. Don't worry, if the ROM and GAPPs are deleted, which should not be the case, you will have them on your external sd card
Note: wipe data will delete your stuff on the xoom. It would be great if you backup your files that you need to your external sd card before you start any of this procedure.
3. In recovery, navigate to install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sd card and select the EOS ROM you copied to the root of the SD card. Once the files are flashed, DO NOT reboot afterwards. Hold on.
4. Again, from Recovery, choose install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sd card and select the GAPPs you copied to the root of the SD card.
Then hit reboot system now. It will take 2 - 3 minutes for the first reboot. Setup your google account. and you are good to go.
Later reboots will be much faster (around 40 - 50 seconds).
Advice: purchase Startup Manager from the market. Remove unwanted user programs from the startup. That will boost the boot time of your xoom. and don't remove superuser or superSU.
To have better battery life, from the market buy JuiceDefender ultimate. configure it as aggressive. don't worry, it is ok. This will give you around 2 hours of extra battery life than the promised 10 hours. Keep that in the startup.
You may need after that to install terminal emulator from the market if not already installed by the ROM to check if you have root permissions. Just type "su -" you will be prompted with superuser check. Click allow. and then type "id" You will see your id is root.
Should you require further details or assistance, please let me know. And enjoy the best rom customized ever for your device
Best Thanks to TEAM EOS for the great ROMs they provide.
After you are done with all that, let me know and will explain to you how to work with the pre-installed gooManager in the new ROM. It will make your life much easier to upgrade to future releases of your ROM.

strange ... following instruction given above, i have fastboot oem unlock was success, as well as flashing recovery.img was also done, but I couldnt get recovery ??? it is still the same logo with an android gear and exclamation mark. What am I doing wrong ??
EDIT : I got it working, you have to immediately invoke recovery (via vol. down and vol. up key) following fastboot reboot command.
Yeah. Now after you successfully rooted your xoom, you can go to recovery by long press on the power button. Enjoy.
By the way, which rom version did you flash? V72 or v 74?

First, download the above ROM and GAPPs and put them onto your xoom internal and external SD card. Put them under /mnt/sdcard for internal sd, and under the root of your external sd card.
does this mean I need to create 2 folders to put these files on the internal and external card like SD CARD/ root and internal storage/mnt/sdcard, i cant see such folders right now on them.
Use astro file manager,
On internal SD: place the file under /mnt/sdcard
On external SD: place just in its root.
If you still can't find these paths, send me the output of the following commands using terminal emulator

It seems your device is not yet unlocked... your recovery IMG should be in the same path where your command line is navigate to, or else from ask path, flashing recovery IMG command should include the path to where it resides if it not in the same directory of where your cmd is navigated to....

to sum it all up in one post so you can root your HTC Dream (G1)
*many if not all rooting guides are incomplete or missing download links – I will do my best to keep links
posted and alive!
!!READ AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS!! DO AT OWN RISK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR BRICKING YOUR PHONE.
I've compiled all of the files necessary and uploaded them to my drop

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First off thanks to Demkantor since he was my sensai in a way (wax on wax off style)
Then thanks to HTCDreamOn, EzTerry, Cyanogenmod and all the developers out there that make all of this possible!
This is the optional ADB and Driver setup. I recommend you follow it through as it would make things easier in the future. This is more a reference post.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
1: ADB and Fastboot setup with HTC Drivers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
In order to do certain things that pertain of flashing radios and hboots you are going to need ADB and
fastboot. This is also useful for The Google Bypass if you dont have data or an activated sim card.
Go ahead and download this zip
Extract the zip file straight to your local disk. (You should get something like this
afterwards "X:\Android" x being the letter of your local disk)
Now that you have that on your local disk. Go to X:\Android and install HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe. (This
has most if not all HTC USB drivers)
Finally add a path in order to access ADB and Fastboot from cmd on the computer.
Click on the Start button and right click "My Computer" and choose
"Properties".
Now you should be in "System Properties" under the
"General" tab, go to the "Advanced" tab and click
"Environment Variables".
Now you'll be in "Environment Variables", Now under the
"System Variables" scroll down to "Path" and highlight
it by clicking on it and now click "edit".
IMPORTANT be sure to not delete ANY of the
variable values already in the "Variable Value" section. Now that that is
clear, go ahead and ADD this to the "Variable Value"
section: ";X:\Android" (Obviously replace X with your appropriate local disk letter and without
quotations)
You now have setup ADB and Fastboot.
But in order to use ADB and Fastboot you must go back to "Start" click or search
for run, type in cmd and you will now have command prompt open.
NOTE: I will not post what the command are since all you have to do is type in "adb" or "fastboot" in the command prompt and it will show you the sub
commands for each perspective command.

on your computer and hit "Format..". Now under file system be sure to set it
as FAT32 then hit format. Depending on how much memory your SD card is will
effect how long it will take. Once it is done move the DREAIM.NBH and update.zip into the
root of the SD card.
*only do this step if you got the update.zip file otherwise skip this step* Now power down your phone and boot up into Recovery mode (Home+Power).
You'll see an exclamation point with a triangle if you booted correctly. At this point
press "ALT+L" then you want to wipe all data so press
"ALT+W" then press "ALT+S" to
apply the update from the SD card.
Power down your device and boot it back up into fastboot mode (Camera+Power). It'll prompt you
if you'd like to install update hit prompted button and wait, this may take a bit and it won't be done
untill it prompts you that it is done so do not worry if it seems like its taking long and DO
NOT battery pull while it is installing.
Power down and now boot normally. You now have android 1.0 stock.
Sign-in into google.
GOOGLE BYPASS METHOD : only necessary if you do not
have data or an activated sim card or no sim card at all. But Wifi is required.
("<enter>" is actually the actual enter button so when it says "<enter>" press the enter button AKA return button)
Power on your phone but do not press anything. Plug your phone in via USB.
Slide your keyboard up type this is: "<enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter>". (Since you are on 1.0 this actually a command to enable USB Debugging although
you can't see anything)
Your pc will detect another device and begin installing drivers. (This is what HTC drivers installer was
for so your device will be installed correctly)
Now open cmd via run on your computer. Type in "adb devices" and it should show your device.
Example :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

(You only see this: "adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *" when its the first adb command your run when you open cmd)
type: telnetd<enter>
now on the computer using the command prompt type: adb forward tcp:23 tcp:23
then press enter
type: telnet localhost
press enter and you should see a # as you should have a root shell (while in this shell in order to backspace you must press the "Delete" button on your keyboard as pressing backspace will not do anything)
type: setprop app.setupwizard.disable 1
press enter
type: ps
press enter, this will show all the running processes
on the right column look for "com.android.setupwizard" then once that is located follow that line on to the second column from the left, the number in that column is the PID
type: kill PID
replace PID with the number that you found from the second column
It should now be at the home screen, if not press the "Emergency Call" button and press back and then you should be able to unlock the phone with the "Menu" button.
Now you can go to the settings connect with wifi and then bring down the notification that says you need to set up your account to sign in with your google email
Go to the market and download "TelNet" app. Once you have
it installed, go to USB-MS and put this recovery image onto the root of your SD card. reboot your device but do not press
anything or unlock the screen.
Once booted up slide your keyboard up, will unlock the device, and press the enter button twice and
type this in "telnetd" then hit enter (It’ll be a contact search but it’s okay). Now
go open Telnet app, and hit connect. If you did the telnetd part correctly you
will be prompted with a #. Otherwise you'll get a connection failed message, if
so reboot device and attempt the telnetd command again.
Type these commands in on your phone:
Press enter after each line
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery.img
cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You now successfully flashed Amon_RA_ Recovery. :good:
You may reboot into your new recovery (power on holding home button) and flash a custom ROM. But
I do suggest upgrading your bootloader and radio first as the amount of ROMs available to you will be
much greater!
-----------------
Step 2
-----------------
Okay so now we will be updating to radio2.22.23.02 and DangerSPL.
Reboot into recovery mode (POWER+HOME), plug your phone in via USB and toggle USB-ms and delete everything off your SD card and placethese files onto the root of your SD card. Exit USB toggle.
Scroll down to wipe data and do so.. than go to "flash .zip file" now the first file you want to flash is the radio2.22.23.02 let finish then press home+back to apply update, it should reboot back to recovery after this.
Now go to wipe again and do so.. the next file you want to flash is the G1 Spl (Hard SPL) so flash the .zip file and let finish than press home+back to apply update.
Go to wipe data 1 more time. now go to flash zip and select the "Danger SPL.zip" let finish and press home+back to apply update.
Power back on into bootloader (camera+power) and check if device says.

If so you can move on to the next part!
-----------------------------------------*
Step 3
-----------------------------------------
Again delete the old files off your sd card and place these files on it!!
Quick note this is the last radio update for this section, radio2.22.27.08, now if you want radio update 2.22.28.25 refer to the changing hboot section and it will have the steps to do so.
Radio 2.22.28.25 may have better reception in your area but will drain your battery quicker.
Boot up into recovery mode, go to flash zip from sd and select Ohsaka superwipe. wait till finish then go to power down!! now boot back up into recovery again.
Now do a manual wipe of data and cache.
Now flash the radio2.22.27.08 file.. let finish than flash the hboot1.33.0013d file and let it finish! then reboot the device for update to apply.
Power off the device, then reboot into bootloader (camera+power) and check if device says.

*If so you now have updated both your radio and SPL and you can now flash any ROM you'd like.
But if you'd like you can follow the next step and install a custom ROM and I will show you how to partition your SD card as well.
-----------------------------------------*
Step 4
-----------------------------------------
Okay so now that you have completed step 3 you can flash a custom rom but now we must partition the SDcard.
Reboot into recovery mode and go to Partition SDcard
Partition SD. Press home.
Now I have 4GB micro SD hc. My partition settings are*
Swap: 128mb (swap is not needed and is purely optional)
Ext: 576mb ( or whichever option is closest to that I can't remember, this is for apps2ext so you can save your apps to your sd card)
Rest: FAT32 (this will once again delete everything but you should have all your backed up data on your pc)
This is what I have for my partitionings and it's works fine for me and it should for you too!
Once that is done go to SD:ext2 to ext3 and once that is done upgrade the ext3 to ext4. You now have a partitioned SD card with EXT4!!
Now all that is needed is to flash the custom ROM. I am currently running this ROM.
Now return to toggle USB-ms and place the ROM zip file from the link above as well with Ohsaka superwipe from the previous step (download it once again)
Go to flash zip file and flash Ohsaka superwipe.
Power down. Reboot into recovery.
Now return to flash zip file and flash the ROM which should be named FroyoCreamSandwhich. Once it is done it will prompt you to press HOME+BACK do so.
Now reboot your phone normally and allow it to boot up (it may take a bit the first time but this is normal when you flash a new ROM). You will now be given the option to sign in create an new account or skip (although I believe it has the option to connect to wifi built in). You now have flashed your New ROM!!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
3: Changing HBOOT version
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
This option is for which ever reason you need the flash recovery/radio/etc you need the Engineer SPL. which is the SPL from step 2 in rooting. although since if you are already rooted and have the latest HBOOT then that route is not the way to go.
So in order to go back to that engineer SPL all you need to do is flash Engineering SPL zip in recovery.
Then you can proceed to update radio/ recovery etc and then flash back to the latest HBOOT which is 0013d so just download
Hboot0013dand flash it through fastboot with this command: fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
--------------------------------
No Recovery?
--------------------------------
Download: http://d-h.st/v9b2erpqfyd7/orange-1.58.73.2.nbh
Like always place the file in the same folder as the fast boot directory.
Enter fastboot and run "fastboot flash nbh orange-1.58.73.2.nbh"
Wait for it complete the flash
Boot into boot loader again and you will have an engineer SPL 1.42.2000
Now you can flash any hboot/recovery/radio via fastboot.

Unroot

Download these files...
DREAIMG.nbh
update.zip
Now would be a good time to un partition your sd card since there will no longer be a custom recovery..
1. first you take the "DREAIMG.nbh" file and the first "update.zip" file and place on root of sdcard!
2. start phone in recovery mode (home+power) do a quick wipe of everything! than flash the update.zip file.. wait for finish than reboot or power off.. whatever prompts tell you. than make sure device is powered off after finished installing!
3. power on via fastboot (camera+power) and wait for selection to pop up asking to install the update! press confirmation button to apply and let it work its magic!!
Now your phone will be on stock android 1.0 firmware! you have 2 options..
a. wait for automated updates.. could take up to 48 hrs..
b. flash updates to 1.5 and or 1.6 via stock recovery!
if you chose option b than you are smart! lol who wants to wait for updates for a G1 nowadays? lol
ok so now to apply updates via stock recovery you do what you would normally do.
Download these files...
Stock 1.5 (OTA)
Stock 1.6 (OTA)
(the stock 1.5 and 1.6 files are also "update.zip" so be sure not to mix them up and confuse the proccess!!)
1. Place files on root of sd.. DO NOT RENAME FILES, the stock recovery will only flash an "update.zip" so please dont make any changes to file.names...
2. boot into recovery mode (home+power) and wait for screen with yellow triangle and this thing ! now press alt+L together untill you see more words pop up on screen..
3. Now press alt+w to wipe the data on phone... (just do it dont ask why) lol after wipe is complete press alt+s to apply update! once it's finished reboot your device and you are ready to go!!
unfortunately the 1.6 i provided is not the DMD40, you still have to wait for that automatic update lol i have the 1.6 before the update... it is the official tmobile firmware its just not the latest.. never really bothered to search for latest one..

Your welcome guys. I ran up with some problems and my pc isn't available so ill try finishing this soon (probably in my iPod).
Okay yes this is perfect I can generate the links via the Dropbox app so hopefully this should be done soon!
Wow phew that took longer than expected (about 3 hours) safari is a horrible browser. Kept on crashing. Finally did all of it on notes and just pasted it on, revised and posted I hope this helps out! I will have the next steps up soon but for now you should be able to root your htc g1 with no problems what so ever have fun rooting guys. :laugh: I'm heading off to sleep. I'm exhausted.

I decided to finish up the rooting part since there was activity on the topic. Feel free to look over it just in case I may have missed something. I doubt it but hey we're not all perfect. Exhausted but pretty satisfied on how things are coming out. Mainly I'm happy to see that this is on the G1 oracle and that this this is recognized as a contribution to the g1 forums!

Sorry for the incovienience but since majority of this post was made on my iPod using notes since safari is higly unreliable with desktop version sites. This the format of notes is kept when copying to the post editor. Thus this is how the link was copied:

Instead of like this:

Thus making it believe that there is a "RETURN" in the link giving you a 404 error. I fixed this along with some other 404 error links but it is all fixed. Either way next time there is a link that is not working quote it and I'll have it back up.
So I am no longer using my G1 but I will still finish this guide. I'm sorry for the wait guys.

Hi,
I was very tired today and when i was going to flash a new ROM..i did something wrong..
I wipe internal and sdcard..and now i only have twrp left.
My computer recognize the phone but i cant copy any roms over to it! I dont know why...
I trying to get in to fastboot so i can push a rom file over to the phone but i dont know how to do it..
PLZ HELP!
I don't know much about fastboot pushing files. But I would try putting the files on a micro SD card and putting that in your phone... That's what I would do if my computer couldn't push the files on

Dont have any sdcard now :/ Dont know what happend..i my computer regoznice the phone and it shows up but i cant copy any files. Im stuck in twrp. Cant do anything at all..and i dont know how to use fastbood and adb..
If you have twrp you are very likely to be able to recover. Buy or borrow a SD card, copy the rom (and bootstack if separate) to the SD card. Insert it into your phone and install from twrp.
I wouldn't touch recovery for now until you have a working system.
Don't panic and do something reckless. You will be fine.
ok this is much easier than you are making it.
1. Google "15 second ADB and fastboot" and install it. It will ask you if you want it to install system wide. Tell it YES. Let it install.
2. https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/rom-guide-updates-to-stock-files-via-t3469484 download the appropriate files for your model Axon 7.
3. plug the phone into a reliable usb port on your pc, and on the phone in TWRP go to "advanced", and then "adb sideload". Swipe the bottom bar to start sideload.
4. on the pc go to the folder where you downloaded the files to in step 2. Hold your left shift key and right click in that folder. On the menu that pops up select "open command window here". A black window will pop up (the command window).
5. in that command window, type "adb sideload XXXXXXX" where XXXXXXX is the name of the boot stack file you downloaded in step 2. You will see TWRP flashing the boot stack. When it is done TWRP will end the sideload.
6. on the phone swipe the bottom bar to restart the sideload.
7. in that same command window as before type "adb sideload XXXXXXX" where XXXXXXX is the name of the system file you downloaded in step 2. You will again see TWRP flashing the system file. When it is done TWRP will again end the sideload.
8. Restart the phone. You will be back to stock and need to flash TWRP again but at least you will be up and running.

Cut the crap with the demands. You messed up, demand for help, and even posted this in the wrong category...
Hope you can fix the phone and all, but just to clarify, you're the one asking for help, we're not the ones asking for someone to need help

Thx, do i really need a bootstack to? Becuase i everythiing, i have bootloader etc. Going to try the sd card today, my only chance i think.
Is your bootloader unlocked? What did you have before you started? What are you trying to flash?

I think is unlocked i was trying to flash a rom and when i wiped in advance i wiped internal storage etc, then i connected the phone to the computer and i couldnt copy any files to the phone..
Going to by a sd card now so hold your thumbs.
Okay,
i succeeded to transer over a rom to my sd card now that i bought. But when i try to flash the rom, it says that unmount fail, error and something with f2s. And then it stands unmount error :/ Do i need something?
It is solved I did this -
Select “Wipe” > “Advanced Wiper”
Select “Cache” and then click “Repair or Change File System”
Select “Change File System”
Choose “ext4”
Swipe to the right
Repeat the same steps for “Data” partition

Introduction
Hey guys, I recently flashed Android 4.0.4 on the SDCard of my HTC HD2 to revive it from the dead and it worked! Although, when I was working on it, it wasn't necessarily easy and the ressources were incredibly hard to find. So I am sharing this handy guide here to make it easier for any begginers that want to bring their HTC HD2 back from the dead. Since I am also a beginner there could be mistakes or complicated sections in my guide which I would be very glad if they get pointed out below in the comments!
Happy Flashing!
Dan6erbond
NOTE: Flashing Android to the internal storage (NAND Flash) is easier and runs smoother. The HTC HD2 unfortunately only has 512 MB of internal storage which makes it almost a must to do a NativeSD Flash if you are interested in installing apps on it. If you are going for the NativeSD Flash, make sure your SDCard is at least a class 6 for a usable experience and has a capacity of >= 8 GB. I recommend using a Version of Android older than 4.0.4 to get the smoothest experience.
Steps
Unlock Bootloader with HardSPL4
NOTE: Make sure your device has more than 50% battery.
1. Turn off any Anti-Virus Software in case your Anti-Virus Software blocks any of the programs you try to run or files you try to download.
2. Download the HardSPL4 Package and save it in an empty folder you've prepared for all the files you will need.
3. Load the Bootloader on your HTC HD2 by turning your phone off and turning it back on while holding the volume down key until a RGBW screen appears.
4. Connect your phone to your Windows PC and wait for the white section of the RGBW screen to say USB.
5. Run HSPL4.exe
6. Read everything and click next.
NOTE: If you plan to use MAGLDR, make sure to select HSPL2.08 in the HSPL4.exe program.
7. Once the phone has rebooted you can turn it off for now.
8. Done!
Install the latest Radio
You need to install the latest Radio on your HTC HD2 to ensure that all your communication devices such as bluetooth and WiFi will work afterwards.
NOTE: Make sure your device has more than 50% battery.
1. Download the latest Radio available for your device (currently 2.15.50.14).
2. Extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP file.
3. Load the Bootloader on your HTC HD2 by turning your phone off and turning it back on while holding the volume down key until a RGBW screen appears.
4. Connect your phone to your Windows PC and wait for the white section of the RGBW screen to say USB.
5. Run CustomRUU.exe from your Radio Folder.
6. Read all the instructions and click next.
7. You will see an Update button, click on it.
8. Wait till your phone reboots.
9. Done!
Flash MAGLDR to the Device
1. Download MAGLDR 1.13 to that folder created earlier.
2. Load into the Bootloader just like you did earlier.
3. Extract the contents of the MAGLDR ZIP folder and launch the ROMUpdateUtility.exe. Make sure you are logged in as Administrator or launch the App as Administrator.
4. Tick the box labeled confirm and click next.
5. Repeat step 4.
6. Select update.
7. Verify the image being flashed say 2.00.000.0 and select next.
8. Read the process list and select next.
9. Once the process is done your phone will reboot.
10. Done!
Flash an Android ROM to the internal storage (NAND Flash)
NOTE: For this step you will need an SDCard. 4GB should be enough for most Android ROMs.
1. Download any Android ROM you wish to install on the HTC HD2. Make sure that it's compatible with your device. In this case I am using the Android 4.0.4 ROM by tytung which runs excellent on the internal storage as well as of an SDCard.
2. Copy the downloaded ZIP folder to your SDCard.
3. Load the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen by turning on your phone and holding the power button until you see the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen.
4. Press the volume up/down button to navigate to the option AD Recovery and select it by clicking on the call button. (Far most left of bottom hardware buttons)
5. Navigate to Update from SDCard and select it.
6. Select select ZIP file from SDCard and select the ZIP file that contains the ROM.
7. Select YES...
8. Your phone will now install the ROM and ask if you would like to Reboot. Select Yes and your phone will boot Android after showing a menu in which you do not have to do anything. The first boot might take a little longer.
9. Done!
Flash an Android ROM to an SDCard (NativeSD Flash)
NOTE: For this step you will need an SDCard. I recommend at least 8GB Class 6 or higher SDCard for most Android ROMs to run smoothly and properly.
Install 4EXT Recovery
NOTE2: You might need to install the 4EXT Recovery on your device. Please comment below if you needed to but here is how it goes:
1. Download 4EXT Recovery and copy the ZIP file to an SDCard.
2. Insert the SDCard into your device and launch the MAGLDR Boot Menu.
3. Select Services.
4. Select Boot Settings.
5. Select AD SD Dir.
6. Select the ZIP file you just copied to the SDCard.
7. Go back to the MAGLDR Boot Menu and select Boot AD SD.
8. Done!
Install the Android ROM to the SDCard
1. Load the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen by turning on your phone and holding the power button until you see the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen.
2. Press the volume up/down button to navigate to the option Services and select it by clicking on the call button. (Far most left of bottom hardware buttons)
3. Select Boot Settings.
4. Select Boot Source.
5. Select Android from SD.
6. Navigate back to MAGLDR Boot Menu.
7. Select Boot AD Recovery.
8. Select advanced.
9. Select Partition SDCard.
10. Select remove all partitions and start from start.
11. Set the size of the EXT partition to the largest possible.
12. Set the size of the SWAP partition to 0MB.
13. Select Yes - I'm sure.
14. Wait for the progress to finish.
15. Reboot the device from the MAGLDR Boot Menu.
16. Hold the power button to get back into the MAGLDR Boot Menu.
17. Download the Android ROM you would like to use. In this case I am using the Android 4.0.4 ROM by tyugen which works well from an SDCard as well as the internal storage.
18. Copy the downloaded ZIP file to the SDCard you are using.
19. Insert the SDCard into your device while it is off.
20. Boot back into the MAGLDR Boot Menu.
21. Select AD Recovery.
22. Select install from SDCard.
23. Select choose zip from SDCard.
24. Select your ROM.
25. Select YES...
26. Wait for the installation page to show up and then tap NEXT.
27. Select install to SD-EXT and then tap NEXT.
28. Select RMNET Connextion. I suggest deactivating the soft keys. Tap NEXT.
29. Once the installation is done tap NEXT and make sure that your device is set to reboot.
30. Done!

Excellent first post Dan6erbond, welcome to the Forum :good::highfive:
hello the URLs from Tytung's site are broken :/
Does anybody have the nexushd2 v4.7 rom zip ?
