My phone is samsung i6500 saturn. But I can't find eternal root(now just temp) and 2.2 rom of this device. Can anyone research on it? Or you can just give me some basic tutorials on how to root and make rom update, I major in computer science and should soon pass the threshold.
Thx a lot!

Hi all,
I have just aquired my first Android (aka HTC Desire) after becoming all to familiar with Windows mobile!
My phone is from vodaphone with Android 2.1 and bootloader .80 version. I am unsure if it is branded but i suspect that it is as there is as vodaphone scene amongst the installed htc scenes although there dosn't appear to be anything else 'vodaphone' on the handset.
I have trailed through many forums (mostly this one) but haven't been able to provide wholly satisfactory answers to my questions and was hoping some kind sole would take the time to assist me for which i would be eternally greatful!:
Here goes:
My object is to flash my device with Froyo with the sense ui embedded which i have allready seen.
1. Is my phone actually branded and, if so, do i have to address this before i can continue. If the answer is yes, could somebody point me in the right direction?
2. Do i need to root my device to install Froyo and, if so, again could somebody please point me in the right direction(bootloader .80)
3. Assuming success, can somebody point me to where and how i can locate and install the best version of Froyo with embedded htc sense for my device.
If this is impossible with my device, i would appreciate someone in the know to break the sad news to me and i will wait (with my allready full Desire) for Vodaphone to send me my Froyo update! (perhaps for Christmas if that's not too optimistic.
1) is it branded? if its issued by vodaphone, chances are it is.
To root branded devices, you'll need a goldcard, follow this link (its specific for htc desire) :

2) to install froyo BEFORE the official release , yes you'll need to root it.
It's quite an easy process, took me under a minute using a one-click program.

3) best version of froyo with sense ... hmm
i'm using DeVillianRom but that's just my opinion of course
all roms can be found here :

hope this helps, make sure you check the HTC desire section regularly
Thanks jdebunt for your prompt reply.
I will be trying this out tomorrow morning and i am very grateful for your time and help.
After a year of 'messing' with windows mobile i was actually able to assist people with various problems! I have had an Android for one week now and have found this forum invaluable for understanding this excellent (almost) device.
I say almost as, after researching the Android platform, i failed to notice the lack of embedded apps2sd (until Froyo) which i think is a critical ommission.
Sorry to waffle on and thanks again and i will report back as to how it goes.
(One week old.....bricked???)
no problem, glad i could help
i do indeed rejoice at the sight of installing apps on SD because of the 2.2 roms, tho sometimes the apps load very slow...but that'll be sorted soon probably
if there's anything else, don't hesitate to drop a PM
I need some help. I wasn't sure what do I need to install the android on hd2? I know Froyo 2.2 is the latest update for Android. But do I need to put some special rom in it or what? HSPL? SPL? I don't even know what are these. Can anyone just make a short simple instruction how to install android on hd2?
instant gratification is why everything sucks. work for your knowledge read a little bit and you'll see that other people have put hundreds of articles just for us. search and you'll find them even quicker. i can't tell you how many times they're posted and re posted everywhere.
if you're going to be on a forum at least learn how to use it this is just a waste.
Try Your luck there:

But be sure You have the knowledge and ability to setup Your HD2 newly if You crash it. It took me an entire night stuck with the Radio-flash which corrupted my HD2 and I had to go back to stock-ROM without Froyo running.
Hi all,
Lately i've been reading about the HTC BLACKSTONE procedure to flash, came accross the links and read them. My phone has the version of
ROM - 1.18.707.2(23358) WWE
Radio/Protocol - 1.09.25.14/52.49a.25.26U
I was wondering if someone could help me out in telling me is there is any additional hardware required to flash. I've heard about something called the flash box that is used to flash the phone, and as i'm new to this HTC TOUCH HD. wanted to know if this will need any additional hardware other than USB cable and phone???
Also, i wanted to know according to you ppl which will be a stable ROM, my phone battery dies like within a day, hence planning to flash the radio too.
So if u can help me with with the details of any Stable ROM according to you and a stable RADIO that will not kill my battery this fast???
Please help me out...!!!
I don want to brick my phone without knowing the complete details...
Thank You.
Any kinda help will be appreciated....
you just need the cable and phone. nothing else. your cable should be recognized by your computer.
Thanks for the reply. But the drivers need to be installed. right??
Flashing Done
Hi,
Thanks for the help. I've flashed the phone and i really enjoy the new interface. But there is one problem. My phone is working slow like hell. N now i'm trying to find a stable or a ROM that will work fast for the phone.
Can u provide me with suggestions?
Thx
Hello Earthlings,
I have a question posed to you all by me, SirNoobsalot. What i wanted to know is if someone wanted to get some custom kernels and roms and froyo what would be the best/safest way to do so. Here are the two options i know of:
1) Flash the ***** and when froyo comes out stock it then flash the ***** again.
2) Wait till froyo comes out (btw will this null the root?) then flash the ***** to a tested rom/kernel/theme etc..
Basically i wanted to know the rules of thumb for flashing and upgrading firmware. I want to avoid bricking as much as possible... for obvious reasons. I know its alwayse best to go to stock but this crap takes time, time that i should be using to do work at my office....LOL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: All i have done is a one click root.... should i wait til froyo before i start flashing further to avoid confusion and compatability issues?
*Sorry guys if you have seen this before, i couldnt find it.... Blame it on the damn fragmentation of Android OS.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP PEEPS, appreciate it much!!! (srry for spelling)
Really frustrated. I thought that I had adaquately backed up Froyo - apparently not.
I need a ROM that works. If I need to install Gingerbread first, I would really appreciate knowing which version. I have tired two and neither installed. There is just so much conflicting information in these threads that I am totally confused and frustrated. Then there are too many download links; Some work; Some don't.
The good news is that I am running linux on my PC which should make things easier. Suggestions guys? Please!!!
2:00 AM in South Beach. Need some sleep. Then I need a working phone.
