Root access on TIM (Italian G1)?

Hi there,
I'm from Belgium and since the G1 is not for sale yet here, I recently bought a HTC Dream in Italy. It's a great phone, and everything is going fine, but I'd really like to get Cupcake on my phone. The limitations of this version is getting tiresome (not syncing up my Google calendar etc).
Anyway, I tried the tuts here but I get stuck on the message:
'Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail!'
Now, I only found very few sites documenting on this, but this one seemed pretty accurate so far:
http://www.androidworld.it/forum/viewtopic.php?t=54
Unfortunately, it's in Italian (which I don't speak) and I'm not all too keen to run this tut on a google translation.
Anyway, what I'd like to know: is there any reliable tutorial out there that can teach me how to root the HTC Dream TIM version so I can flash cupcake?
Thanks in advance!

The goldcard method.. Just use the Search-function. Search for goldcard.

For the record: I did tons of Google searches and searches on this forum before creating a thread on the subject. Unfortunately, all sites I landed upon where either for all G1's except the French and the Italian G1. Or they were either in French or Italian.
So you're sure this method works for the French/Italian version as well?

The goldcard lets your G1 skip the check if the file signed (with the correct cid). This method works on (i think) all devices made by HTC.
In the theory, you could flash android this way to ALL HTC Devices.
But that would brick these phones.
But i think, the goldcard method should work for you. If not, go sell your G1 and go buy the US Variant of the G1 or a german G1 (i got a german g1, i had to use the goldcard method, it worked vperfectly!)

Won't the problem be that I have a different linux boot installed on this phone? Or is that impossible?

Need help. Got a hd2 with a SN number from taiwan and need a english updateble rom

Sorry to bother all of you. After 80 plus hours i am close to give up and sell my HD2 or dump it.
Bought a "English HD2" in Shanghai. Found out its a old ROM with many problems. Downloaded the new ROM from HTC and got a traditional Chinese version and for sure I do not speak Chinese. .Means iI can never use or update the phone if i leave like that.
Started research, found a HK SN and and downloaded from HTC a Hongkong english version and installed it.
Installed the win frame work update to.
It worked but there is no phone keyboard anymore but now i can input in CHINESE! I need the phone keyboard I cant life with out one.
Found the EzInput soft key and installed several times, every time after installing it the phone wont start anymore and only a hard reset can bring it to life again. I made a soft rest before installing the keyboard.
Can any body help me with the keyboard?
Or any information where to get a NEW ROM which works in English but need to be able to show( not type) Chinese characters.
I am begging all of you, my eyes are red, my girlfriend is so upset that she went back to her parents and I had to switch back to my E75. SAFE me please
Rom version installed: 1.72.831.1 (82124)
OS: 5.2.21869(21869.5.0.82
Tow more glitches i can't fix.
Switched it on after hard reset. Now the time is wrong. 27 min wrong and i don't know why. I set the time manual now.
Location is most times wrong. I life in Shanghai and I am all times set in Shenzhen or Suli or somewhere elsei If i drive suddenly the location corrects to Shanghai

instal hspl2 and then you can instal any rom you like (over usb).

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately I am not a developer. If i follow what you suggested what happen? No rom software anymore? Where do i find the rom(cab file )i need?

Question
Do you mind if I ask you how much you paid for your HD2 in Shanghai? Did you order it, or buy it there? Thanks!
You can probably get a better answer to your questions in the ROM Development section of the forum.

Hey Mate,
I have the Telstra HD2 which has loads of crap software, so all I did was run the HSPL (HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433) and then found the Asia WWE (World Wide English) ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283&highlight=WWE, it has the serial number for you to download directly from HTC.
I have been using the South East Asia (Asian WWE) 1.66.707.1, with no issues.
Hope this helps

[Q] Chinese+Asian Language Support on T-Mobile HD2

Hi Guys,
I just finally got my TMobile HD2 and need the phone to be able to read Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
I would also like to be able to write Chinese on it although I still want to have the english interface on the phone.
I have looked up and read numerous threads in this forum about adding Chinese support but there seems to be just way too many different programs such as QQ input, CE Star, Shugou, etc that has confused me.
(I actually tried and installed QQ pinyin input, however they were still squares. I assume its because I don't have the font installed. I tried this because I haven't HSPL'd my phone and am worried about doing it since I'm a complete noob.)
Also, there seems to be a way to read and write chinese characters but after flashing the ROM to an Energy ROM or other compatible ROM FIRST which I found from another thread.
For all of you who have experience in this, what is the easiest way where I can
read and write Chinese and just also be able to read Japanese and Korean?
I would really appreciate the help!

Google RickyMSYH6.0FullBD to read chinese

Try this site, they have chinese rom and english rom that support chinese.

make sure it's for t-mobile or else you might brick your hd2.
good luck

Flashing from Chinese to Hong Kong - Backup

Hi,
I am new to android - coming from many years on iPhones. (Jailbreaking)
I just got a 7.7 (From the Taobao Samsung shop here in China, they had a trail version program where 300 people can pay a deposit and then use the tablet for 30 days and return it)
I want to know if the Chinese version is also able to flash to the Hong Kong version as this Chinese version is really a mess - no android market, no google access and a lot of stock Chinese software. (and I think a few monitoring things a well???)
Anyway - I have read most of the post on the 7.7 and it seems that there are some people who have had a hard time flashing the Chinese version? (It also seems to me like they might just have run into some problems)
As far as I understand, coming from a jailbreaking and server admin background, this should be really basic and should be easy to do?? One should be able to flash any countries firmware onto any 7.7 tablet?
I would also like to know if there are any programs one could use to backup your ROM and PIT and what ever is needed to be able to restore back easily if something should go wrong.
So I have read about Titanium Backup - would this work and where can I find a good guide?
Please let me know and I appreciate the help!
PS...I have the 16GB 3G version

I would be very careful about using a device made for the Chinese market. You might want to use your device for 30 days, then if you like it get a Hong Kong version. At least then you will know your device can be safely modified, and not subject to the same communication controls.

Need help, PM me. No worry. Get TITANIUM BACKUP. ROOT IT. FLASH CWM. BACKUP....and READ the forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22775462#post22775462
Here's stock ROM in case you F%ck up -- you will, save the tears, get the file NOW and learn how to use ODIN!
http://115.com/file/an40wd58#P6800ZCKL4.exe
(ps. check this is right ROM, should be, 'about' in settings...)

@rmm200
This is what I have been planning and I think I will stick with it - if I really like it and get one I can even order it before I send back the trail one.
I was now also able to install a "Chinese" android market and have been able to find most of the apps there that I want to test - so this is working fine - now to get a VPN working - I always us OpenVPN but I believe I will need to root before that works.
@jabbermacy
As for the Flasing - I would still like some advice on how to backup the device with Titanium for future use.
What do you mean with FLASH CWM?
Would I not be able to backup my device before I do a flash or root?
PS - I have read the forums and it is still not clear about this - some people say you can some say you cant...I am just asking as I think I might get some better answers by asking some more knowledgeable people.
Thanks

i got my 7.7 from Taobao shop like you.
Chinese version is such a terrible thing...

Mi watch global custom rom

Could someone find a way to put wear os on mi watch global?? The base software isn't useful/can't install my own apps

Its not possible unfortunately. Even if someone did find a way, the actual SoC is pretty weak and it doesn't have enough ram to run wearos even in theory.

if it may interest you after some research I saw that the Chinese version of the watch allowed the installation of the application and I also found a tutorial to switch from a global version to a Chinese version then another tutorial to add gapps on it with a little bit of file manipulation
I have not tested yet because I receive the watch in a few days

[MOD] Convert your Chinese Wear OS to Global Wear OS
If you bought your Android Wear devices in China, and decided to install Google on it without actually installing Global ROM, you are in the right place. This tool lets you convert your Chinese Wear OS ROM to a "Global ROM". It works by deleting...
forum.xda-developers.com

I also forgot to specify that the majority of xiaomi products offer the English language on the Chinese version so there will only be the configuration which will be complicated once this step is over you will be easy I don't think I'm too wrong in saying that.

honestly I can't tell you because I made the choice not to do it on my watch. you should know that when you make changes it's a risk to take. After doing some research I think you can find it. I couldn't find any, but I only did a search or two. and I think you will find answers more easily than me because you are English. I am French, so the content of help sites on this kind of subject is less well provided for me
