Someone game me a motorola cliq it has Android 1.5 on it. I already rooted the device but i can't install ROM Manager to install a custom rom cuz its not compatible, in the specs of rom manager says 1.6 an up. anyone has a solution??? I will really appreciate it. thanks guys.
update to the factory 2.1, then use androot to get root again. Install rom manager and all should be good from there. I used (when I had this phone) vanilla eclair and the cliq was waaaaaay faster without all that motoblur crap. good luck.
Thanks !!! i just found the update to 2.1 on motorola website, I'll do that, thank you man!!

Hi all! I have recently installed the myhero rom 1.1.3 with the help of this site and video
http://docs.google.com/View?id=dfnmhnzb_9c3q6kxhj
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xj1EdpYb7M
Me needing a video i think it says something about me not really understanding what you guys do but i think its great and it makes the Magic alot more fun so kudos to all of you!
So the Android 1.6 SDK came out and i want to put it in my Magic. Im worried because im not sure if it is compatible with the myhero rom because it uses android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3.
It would be great help if someone could answer my question and/or direct me to some instruction to get it on (if even possible). Also if it is possible when i upgrade will i lose all my contacts/ apps? (either its supose to do that or i messed up in the myhero rom because when i upgraded i lost all contacts+ apps )
Thanks ahead!

If you don't know much about making Rom's yourself you should wait for a developer to release a cooked rom with donut (android 1.6)
In the android market you can find "ASTRO File Manager" you can use this to backup several things.
Alright, so I updated my phone with the official 2.1 android update from sprint, then rooted it. I hate 2.1 and my phone runs like complete crap. I even tried to re-flash it after doing a hard reset, that didn't help. I am very new to android phones, but learn fast. I downloaded the initial release ruu from sprint which has android 1.5 but can't simply run that to flash back to a 1.5 rom because it gives some type of error about not being able to update the boot loader or something. I gather that I need to get the original 1.5 rom in .zip form somewhere and then flash that rom using the menu at the phones boot up to get back to a 1.5 rom. Can someone tell me what I need to download, and the steps to do so? Also is there any 1.5 roms that are nearly identical to sprints stock rom but that have tethering enabled? Thanks guys!!

I would like to know this also as 2.1 runs like garbage I think and 1.5 at least worked for me and wasnt so buggy. I am not happy wih 2.1 at all. Also I really want my tethering back.
Pick a 1.5 ROM like Pancake or Gumbo and install it. The list of 1.5 ROMS can be found in the XDA Hero CDMA Wiki
Which Rom is closest to stock? Know where I could find stock 1.5?
Im going to say Gumbo ROM 1.5c FULL but I could be wrong. I am going to wait and see what some more experienced member/s have to say. For now I deal with this rooted 2.1.
You can not go back to 1.5 after running the 2.1 RUU. The hboot in 2.1 has a higher version and you can not downgrade below the version currently on your phone. The only thing to do is install a 1.5 ROM..
Just look in the Wiki, there are several 1.5 ROMs.
Before I went to 2.1 ROM's I used Gumbo 1.5c Bare. FAST as the wind...but there is the FULL version also, that has all the sprint apps.
Both here.....Flash them and see which you like better.

Hi guys ,
Well i bought my HTC hero on eBay like many others it did not come with android market would the new HTC hero 2.1 update give me android market ?
Should i update my phone? or should i flash my phone to a custom ROM to guarantee a android market in my phone? Don't know what to do please help.
Cheers, and many thank you
I recommend flashing a custom ROM (following the guides on xda) If you update to the official 2.1 from HTC you won't be able to root or have a custom ROM (at least for quite a while anyway).
Now i'm going to guess the next question would what ROM do you recommend and all I can say is I use VillainROM 10.3, its all I've ever used and I like it
i have a version of 1.6 on my g1 everything works and has more app feachers then the old version of 1.6 i had on it but now it dont play mp3 or mp4 how do i fix this i would like to find and put 2.2or 2.3 on my phone and keep my apps i paid for not sure how to do so i tried once to go from 1.6 to 2.2 and killed my phone it didnt work so i found the version of 1.6 i have now with the how to install that was easy to do for someone whos never done anything like this before if anyone can help in any way it would be great
my 1.6 version upgrade.android.32teeth.org/?step=1)
start here - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Dream
Yeah, start from there. I did it twice already for my phone, work 100%. I did it once when I flashed CM 6.0 (Froyo 2.2), secondly, when I almost bricked the phone trying to update new bootloader and radio to have working updated Froyo 2.2.1
Hi guys, I'm pretty much a newbie to this all and was wondering if anyone could help me get my HD2 back to its original settings of being on WM6.5.
I recently upgraded it to 2.2 by NAND ( no idea what that means) but I was successful on getting it up and running on android.
Im now trying to be more adventurous and see if I can boot the rom to 4.4 but just for safe measures, I'd like to know how I can get the system back. Also if anyone can post the links of what Id need to download to get it to 4.4 and how I need to do that from 2.2 would be great. I don't know if I could just upload another android version on top of the 2.2 or if I would have to remove that first.
Thank you in advance

In future search before posting. To flash a higher version of Android (although 4.4 doesn't exist yet and probably never will) check out the guide in my sig. To flash a stock ROM just download one from the HTC website and flash the RUU in the bootloader.
I tried looking for previous posts that would hep, but this stuff is completely going over my head and I am still determined to get my HTC on an upgraded android version. What android version would you recommend? anything more up-to-date than 2.2 would be great (with everything working, I have read posts where some people have had problems with the camera not working)
I have had a look on the HTC website and they no longer support HD2 :-/ How can I restore it? *confused* I'm a complete newbie and a noob, yup both, but I will not be giving up
Further guidance would be great.
I think a JB ROM would be good if you want functionality and the latest version. If you want stability then 2.3 is probably best. The only real solution is to try a few ROMs out and see what you like best.
