Back to normal.

I am in the situation that I want to go back to the original Magic ROM. Where can I find it and how will I back to the original and not rooted ROM?
Any One?

Am told that it is not easy to get it rooted, but I will at least just like the original ROM

I'd like to do the same! I rooted my phone with Haykuro's Magic rootme ROM and all has been well for weeks but now I'm receiving an OTA and it just keeps downloading without installing. I know I should have done a nandroid backup but I didn't and now I can't go back unless anyone can post a link to a stock HTC Magic ROM image (uk vodafone would be ideal but any HTC or Google standard image should be OK). Has anyone done a nandroid backup of a clean phone and willing to share it? Thanks in advance.

I found what I need here:

Hero 2.73.738.5 Root

Hey guys,
I got my Hero not to long ago and realized that it has no Marketplace. I worked out that this is because the device is from South East Asia and the marketplace is unavailable. I am running 2.73.728 (typo in the title)
How can I root my device and get the Marketplace? I've tried the Unlockr's method but when using Flashrec I get an error (Backup FAILED: Image is invalid.)
If someone could point me in the right direction, and perhaps explain how I could successfuly root my phone, it would be much appreciated.
I'm quite new to HTC and am unclear on how this all works.
Thanks guys.

You will need to downgrade to flash the recovery image

I have a South East Asian device as well, although mine is the Singaporean one which came with the Market app installed. The instructions here let me downgrade to 2.73.405.5, which let me root the phone.
I've since installed MoDaCo's custom ROM on there, but if you just want to run the stock software with root, those instructions are the way to go. (Of course, you can choose to flash any ROM after following them... it's entirely up to you.)

Thanks for that. Turned out that I just had to download the same ROM from the official site, install that, flashrec and follow the instructions.
I think the main problem was that it couldn't make a back up, and I wasn't going to root it without a backup.

Try to follow the instruction from below link

Hello everyone,
I'm new to Android as well, and just like Motleymoo I'm trying to root my Hero, but before that I want to backup my original before flashing. I read instructions on many forums out there and of course everything I could find here on XDA as well but so far no way. It seems this is due to later Build Number after 2.73.4... with further protections from HTC. Couldn't find anything to backup from this build before flashing so far. Any suggestions out there?
Btw, my device is SE Asia as well, bought in Hong Kong a week ago.

Help with Hero Rom Please

Hi,
My brother has a Hero which doesnt work very well, we had been trying to update to the latest firmware but were unable to do so, after we did a factory reset we realised that there was already a custom ROM on there, (the phone was purchased from ebay) below are the details :
Firmware Version: 1.5
Baseband Version: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
Kernel Version: 2.6.27-mck-1.2
([email protected])
Build Number:
Modaco Custom Rom 2.8 core, ssh
Password: 9mzxij
The phone works terribly and is almost unusable due to the ROM version i believe.
Ive never rooted or put a custom ROM on an Android phone before. I dont know if it would be easier to Unroot the phone and put the standard ROM on there so I can update it to 2.1, or put on another custom ROM.
Your help and guidance is greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

First question is, what network are you on? Do you want to keep the phone software debranded (HTC Firmware) or Customised from the Providor, For Example Orange, T-Mobile, 3(Three) e.t.c ?

oops, thats a good point, the phone is on orange, and to be honest i think id prefer it unbranded.

OK, what you need to do is create a goldcard, install the unbranded WWE ROM and you will be presented with an update which you will need to get to push it up to the 2.1 ROM.

If your new to it all it's not that easy depends how fast you can learn. I will try get you some links....
Please make sure all your data is backed up, phone numbers / memory card et al.
01. Goldcard Method
02. Flash Stock 2.73 ROM
You should get a notification on the phone when you boot it up telling you there is an update... get it for the 2.1 rom. Should do the trick.

Well, everyone who has bought the phone from India will be using the 1.32.720.5 ROM.
I'm looking for it too so I can root and try out other ROMs and if I ever need to claim warranty, I can quickly jump back to the original ROM it came with. I still can't seem to find it(1.32.720.5) though.
If anyone could upload this ROM to xdafiles, it would be great

Did anyone finally find this RUU 1.32.720.5

Please can some get this ROM

I´m hopping to flash the new radios on this phone, to see if I can get it to work with our local provider with 3g. Currently it only connects as Edge.
I own a Diamond Touch, with a lot of firmware and radio modifications, and it worked excelent on the same simcard with 3g on almost every place.
I´m willing to do a backup (dump) of my fresh room. Can you point me out to a tutorial on how to bulk the room so we can have the backup that you are talking about?

I am pretty new at this stuff.
Hoping some of the devs out here can help us out....
Please guys really need this ROM

Ok
I followed some tutorials on how to root and s-off and radio-off the phone. They seemed to work just fine.
Then i installed a market application called Rom Manager, and after flashing a custom bootloader, and backing up the old bootloader (so it seems), I did a Rom Backup.
It´s quite bigger than I expected it to be. I´m doing a RAR of it.
Not sure if the "DATA.img" file that get´s created has already the personal data that was on the phone at the time of the backup, so probably not such a good idea to post the "rom" until i get confirmation from somebody of what are the rom.img files that really matter.
Gonna subscribe to this tread to keep an eye on it to see if my backup rom can be of any help.
Any of you guys has encounter any trouble trying to access 3g network with it?

Please can you tell me what ur Stock CID

Where can I find the Stock CID?

System Info

Sorry. I have already flashed a custom firmware... All the info that I got before flashing was posted before. If there`s no CID info there, then I`m afraid now it`s too late.
anyway, I can`t find System info on the phone.
I found Settings / About / Software information. All the info there I posted at the start, as the info that I got when i entered bootloader.
Not sure if the CID would make the rom different or what.

How to backup ROM, I have the official firmware.

Can some please help to take and back up even i dont knw

To backup.
I unfortunatelly returned the phone to the seller last week... I bought the wrong 3g band. (Need 850-1900 for Colombia).
Anyway if I recall what I did for backing up the firmware:
1. Root the device (without backing up), using visionary R14. Look for download link on the forum, and instructions. Hopefully you won´t be needing to downgrade first, as it could be more complicated.
2. Install Rom Manager from the Market.
3. Run Rom Manager, it has an option to make a full backup. It will create the bootloader backup and also the firmware backup, both on the SD.
4. Copy the backup files on a safe place. Sometimes the SD can get messed up when flashing so it´s safer to have the backup on a secondary external place like a pc or a cd. (i think they where 4 files on the root of the SD, and one folder on the backup folder of Rom Manager, inside the SD).
That´s it for backing up.
Now for starting with flashing new firmwares you will also need (now safer to do) to S-off and Radio S-Off the device. The forum has really nice tutorials on how to easily achieve this other tasks.

sony ericsson x8 Problems

hi..i buy my x8 1 week ago and i put the 2.3.2 rom..its work very fine..next, with xrecovery, i put the original backup, the 2.1 original backup, and when i plug in the charger in telephone, the phone turns on..why? sorry for my bad english, im portuguese..

It is caused by xrecovery

and no way to fix this problem?? is this normal? thank you

quick solution is by removing xrecovery joking!! hehe yes i hear that theres a solution by [email protected] one of xrecovery file..but dont remember which thread..try to dig this section more deeper

Install latest xRecovery with FlashTool 0.2.8 and it will work, and is the best solution.

thank you all..but latest xrecovery only install with flash tool? no other way?

No other way... but why would that be a proble for you?

it's no a problem, but i like charge my phone offline..i see in other thread or site, if i modify the chargermon file with notepad, the phone charge offline..is this true?? what the code for this?
