It does not show the SPL. I had loaded the HardSPL, and I am assuming that it is the current version that is out there.
Go to development section and find ezterry's thread for 14 MB ram new spl/radio and follow the instructions there. Then u will be current. Must have sdk set up
Btw 2005 in your info is spl-hboot same

I will, I do have android sdk setup on my laptop, I think that what you meant. If that is not what you meant, please let me know.
So that will fix my problem I assumed.

That is what I thought, but being new to Android and still learning. I was not quite sure.
That is what I meant. U have the spl u need for fastboot and sdk set up so u are ready. When you're done u will have newest recovery, radio and hboot. As well as 14 MB extra ram which is nice

OK! Found it, downloaded the RA Recovery and the SPL/radio. Still a little confused on the instruction, but I'll look it over again.
What's easier to use for the Backup? Nandroid backups or Titanium backup?
Since I have to backup to restore everything. (I think).
Question, once I update the SPL and radio. Will it resolved my battery drain too?
You cannot make a backup without a recovery img. You have to fastboot flash amonra before u can do that. Titanium is for backing up the apps. Nandroid is for backup of the os as a whole. People's opinion on the battery have varied on anything so that is hard to say.
Are u getting the instructions ok?

I went over the instruction and still not sure what file I need to use.
I downloaded the dream_2708kit.zip and Dream: recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img

ez-nightly236-cm-2708port_S.zip and other CM6.1nightly kernels. (source code and additional information on the CM Forum post)
CM-6.1-final uses the same code as the 271 nightly so install it after installing the rom and before rebooting. Note: if you find more than this line green with that kernel try 251, my 20101106 or pershoots kernels.
The most recent pershoot kernels also support the additional ram.

That I don't really know, I just want the best one possible without the battery drain issue. The one I have (CM 6.0.0 RC1) seem to be running pretty good so far, with some of the bloat apps taken off.
I just want to be able to get into the recovery mode, so I can back up my ROM. Just incase I did something stupid enough, so I can recover back to where I was using the recovery mode. And also, hopefully solved my problem with the battery drain.
What is your recommendation thou on which ROM?

With these commands you are copying the recovery image to the /system partition. On OTA-ROMs there is/was a procedure which was installing the /system/recovery.img to recovery partition every time a phone is booting. I do not expect it's what you want to do
You are already on 1.33.2005 SPL so you can use fastboot to flash your recovery. Type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
from your PCs shell while recovery.img is in your current directory and I suppose you have a set up fastboot on your PC. This is the easiest and most secure way to do it.
Amonra thread here has instructions.

I have htc legend rooted
and my HBOOT 0.43.0001
what does it mean?and what is it s-on\s-off?
The HTC Legend, when rooted using the usual methods doesn't really have access to the System partition.
In order to have access to this, you have to have a "S-OFF" or "Security-Off" Phone.
S-on means that there is the default protection that prevents you to write to /system and /recovery partitions. If you want more information you can visit alpharev site: http://alpharev.nl
What are the benefits?
You can alter the files from the protected partitions as if they were on a sdcard for ex. No more "read only" rights, and so on.

With great power, comes great responsibility. It's a great tool (I'm S-OFF, myself) but just be careful.
I understand what turning the security off enables.
But what are the benefits?
Personally, I haven't found any benefits to being S-OFF.
I've found that using the Clockwork Recovery doesn't work sometimes and it's handy to have a PC handy just in case...
With s-off you can edit files in the /system partition without the need of switching to recovery, but i don't think that it is a functionality needed by many people.
If you have s-off you can also flash a recovery, therefore you won't need anymore to use fake-flash for booting in clockworkmod.
On some rooting guides for phones like the DHD it says you need to be S-OFF to flash a custom ROM. How come we've been doing this on our S-ON Legends? I don't understand how being S-OFF is any different than S-ON for a Legend user?
I've probably got the wrong end of the stick here...
EDIT: Something to do with ROMs having to be signed by HTC, but none of the custom roms for Legend have to be used on an S-OFF phone despite not being signed by HTC?
S-OFF unlocks the bootloader, you can install basically anything on any partition on the phone. This lets us install a custom recovery in the recovery partition. It also allows to boot custom kernels without flashing them (I believe)
Rooting with S-ON just allows you to boot a custom ROM with root access and no read/write capabilities in the /system partition (unless you have aufs)

You can flash custom Kernels without being S-OFF. Done it myself many, many times. You don't need to be S-OFF to flash kernels.
S-ON as you said, gives read/write access to the /system partition while the phone is running. Unless you're looking at theming the phone yourself, or you want to access the /system and /recovery partitions it's not really required.
As I mentioned previously, I can get into recovery via Clockwork, but it's spotty, and I don't really like the idea of flashing a new ROM if I'm not near a PC that can drop me into Recovery. Rambo, I am not!

Hats off to entropicamente for posting the above - it's THE best place to go. I would warn that if you're a Bell Legend user, the download there will not work. There's a download on this forum for the .iso to S-OFF your phone.
Ultimately, with the number of "What benefits does this give me?" questions, it should probably be avoided for now.

probably wrong, but i don't think i am using fake flash...
my legend's s-on, but to get to clockworkmod i just boot in through rom manager...
(guessing someone's about to tell me that that is fake flash...)
EDIT: missed marclh1992's post.
so in other words i'd be able to replace the stock htc recovery (accessed holding back+power) with clockworkmod, for example?
Yes, you can install clockwork mod into your recovery partition if you are S-OFF.

No, superuser just lets you "log in" to the root user account. S-OFF allows you to write to any part of the phone essentially. Among other things.
My girlfriend has the HTC Magic 'Sapphire PVT 32a Ship s-on H' we live in Australia and are on the 3 network.
Her phone is using Android 1.5, and was wondering what version of android i could upgrade to if i rooted her phone?
I am a complete noob when it comes to Android phones and just need a little direction as i have not done this before, i am a Ubuntu user so i can pick up directions very easily
You need to boot the phone into fastboot mode by pressing back+power to turn the phone on, then post everything here. If you rooted you could upgrade the phone all the way to 2.3.2 if you wanted (I think that's what Gingerbread is up to).

You can use my guide here or mumilover's guide here. Main difference, with mine you'll go ahead and flash a new 2.1 ROM. With mumi's guide you'll root, install a custom recovery, and can optionally install an engineering SPL. You don't really need the engineering SPL unless you plan on doing some stuff from fastboot. In all honesty though, since your using Ubuntu, mumi's guide is the better way to go. The program used in my guide to get root requires you to have a Windows machine, else you'll have to manually use the exploit via terminal in Ubuntu.
I dual boot with Windows 7 so i might actually sign in with that unless i can use wine!1 lol I will try your tutorial as you are very helpful.
I just bought you a redbull, some vodka with it might be nice though hehe

One last question mate before i attempt your tutorial, if i make a mistake how would i restore my phone back to default incase i needed too?
Like i said i am a complete Android noob but i hope this changes when i get my Desire HD next week, been using my e72 for the last year, and before that the e71 :/ lol
There are ways to get back stock. The easiest way is to use an RUU or stock sappimg. Basically the RUU just uses a sappimg, but is a GUI that you can run in Windows to do all the "dirty" work. Just manually flashing the sappimg from the phone is usually the safer route though. Basically a sappimg is an image of the phone at stock (e.g. SPL/radio/ROM/recovery). The other option is a part of the guide. There's a toolset in the custom recovery you'll flash called nandroid which will make a backup of the phone's ROM that can be restored later on. It does not however include the SPL/radio/recovery, so if any of those get hosed we'd have to work out a different fix.
People have tried running SuperOneClick in Wine and haven't been able to get it to work. The manual method of rooting using the exploit from SuperOneClick is basically everything the program does for you.
Thanks again mate.
I am having problems with my computer seeing my phone. If i mount the SD card i can see this but i cannot sync to the phone grrr!! lol
When i load SuperOneClick the program says 'not responding' after about 10 seconds waiting for the device.
Even HTC Sync cannot see my phone.
You need to reinstall the drivers. Use this little guide to get them installed properly.

Very true. You can manually flash the recovery from terminal. I'll link those instructions in a few minutes.

Use this little guide to manually flash recovery. You can download the recovery image from here. Once you get the recovery loaded and upgraded to a new ROM you can go back to using ROM Manager and ClockWorkMod since you paid for it.
Thanks heaps mate, i will be buying you 3 redbulls today!! lol You support is awesome.
I just copied the recovery image to my SD card and downloaded 'backup and recovery' by o'reilly media. I will read back over your tutorial and see how i go
Hey Don, sorry to bother mate.
So this manual flash instructions above, will replace step 7?
7. Once they both are installed, open ROM Manager. Click "OK" to both the prompts that come up. At the top, click the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" button. A prompt will come up asking you to confirm your phone model. If you have a 32B phone or the myTouch 1.2 (headphone jack), select "ION/MyTouch 3G". If you have a 32A phone without a headphone jack, select HTC Magic. Once it has finished flashing, click OK. Scroll to the bottom of the ROM Manager menu and select "Flash Alternate Recovery". If you have a 32B/1.2 phone you should see "RA Recovery v1.7.0G". If you have a 32A without a headphone jack, you should see "RA Recovery v1.7.0H". Once verified to be correct, select that option and then click OK. Once completed click OK again. Power off your phone.
NOTE: I use these steps to get Amon Ra's Recovery installed since the steps in this guide will be using it and not Clockwork Mod. If, after getting more familiar with using recovery, you want to use ClockworkMod recovery instead, the steps are the same, just don't select the "Flash alternate recovery" option.

I am being very cautious as i dont want to to brick the phone, but in terminal when i write this:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/*name of recovery*.img
Is the image name boot.img
No, the *name of recovery*.img part is the name of the recovery image. If you downloaded the recovery from the link above, it should already be named "recovery.img". So in that case, the command would be:
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Hey mate when i do the last step
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system

1. download the ROM you're going to flash, place it in the ROOT of your SDcard, not in any folders, then download ROM Manager (from market), flash clockworkmod recovery, then reboot into recovery, DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!, wipe data, cache, dalvik (under advanced menu), flash your ROM.
2. yes
no, the only theme available is Androidian on the market for "custom theme"...
that's why i don't really like the stock ROM...
but you can try my StockMOD ROM here:

it includes ADW Launcher (not in the latest, try v1), so theming is easy

According to this any hboot can be flashed via recovery by packaging nb0 in a cwm flashable zip.so after installing blackrose we can flash hboot via recovery
Many users are having problem while changing partitions.
So if we put nb0s in flashable zip users can EASILY flash them via recovery.similar to alpharev on desire
My suggestion : devs please put the following .nb0 in flashable zips and upload it.
Blackrose : 220/16/200
Sense rom : 315/10/111
Stock hboot : 145/95/xx
So users can flash it via cwm.

Hey all...I'm sorry for sounding like such a noob (trust me i'm not as big as one as you may think) I'm just having a hard time grasping the idea of updating my Nexus. Let me explain:
I'm currently running stock rom but have Matr1x kernel on my phone. The only thing I've changed so far are a few icons (by pulling files from the nexus toolkit, replacing the icons and pushing them back to my phone).
I would prefer not to have to go through and redo all my icons, and would just like to get 4.2 onto my phone.
I looked over the directions on how to do this, but for the life of me (and IDK why) i can't seem to get my head around it...and it's making me feel real real stupid...
can someone please explain to me like i'm 5 how to do this? Or maybe just point me in the direction of a youtube video that will walk me through it...?
Thanks in advance and sorry for being such a noob...
Why not just backup the apk's+data you edited, save them to your computer, flash the stock images, root and restore the apps+data?
Edit: And flash a 4.2.2 kernel.

First of all, ditch the toolkit. You don't learn anything when you use toolkits. Probably why you're in the situation you're in.
Backup with titanium, or just make a nandroid and use titanium to extract the apps later.
To flash stock images:
Reboot into bootloader.
Open command prompt and "cd" to the directory where fastboot lies.
Type these commands -
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Optional -
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
Then reboot

I extract the adb folder from the android SDK and drop it in C:\.
So for me, it's "cd C:\adb"
I believe in the SDK it's in platform-tools or some such jazz. You can always do a search on your computer...
You have installed the android SDK, right? If not, your toolkit might have the adb and fastboot files in it. Grab them from there. Make it work. You can do it.

I extract the adb folder from the android SDK and drop it in C:\.
So for me, it's "cd C:\adb"
I believe in the SDK it's in platform-tools or some such jazz. You can always do a search on your computer...

There should be a fastboot.exe and a few .dll files, as I recall.
Could someone upload all the latest files needed for adb and fastboot in a zip for him? Won't take you 5 minutes. I'm not by my computer.
Why not flash CM10.1 or latest Xylon.
Back up apps with titanium, flash ROM, flash gapps, restore via titanium.
Or do you want stock?

Download this http://d-h.st/iy0. Unzip it. Plug your phone I'm the computer, go to the directory where you installed the toolkit. (Right click on the shortcut/properties it should say it there) go in the directory, FLASH ITEMS HERE folder. Put the boot.img and system.img in there. (Radio.img is optional). Open the toolkit and go to flash images. Flash boot.img first. The directions should be on the toolkit. Then system and etc... Make sure you put it in fast boot or type no when the toolkit asks if your in fastboot mode. This will NOT delete your data. When you flashed everything, go to settings on your phone. (If there is a bug with updating it through settings, clear cache and data for Google services framework and force stop it. Then go to cache on root explorer (/cache) and delete the corrupt/partial update and try Again). Once you reboot, cwm will ask if you want to install update. Hit yes and install untrusted package. Then it will try to replace cwm with stock recovery so hit no. If you lost your root then get supersu from the play store and install the binaries via cwm.
Hope this helps.

Btw I chose to flash it through toolkit because I was afraid you would've got the commands mixed up and you would never get it. One day you probably will
