do you have android SDK at all ? at some folder extracted? if so , you have to either cmd to that folder and then run fastboot command, or put it in path of windows, and then you can call it from any folder...

B. SWAP and Dalvik-cache on SD. What can go wrong?
C. How to flash adhoc update zips?
D. How to take screenshot of phone?​Idea of this thread is to link new comers to corresponding detailed thread and not to repeat the thing here. Threads are already available for each activity above, but for a new comer, it is difficult to understand the link among them. First few posts will be updated regularly to try to make it as easy as possible for new comers.
First post is reserved for basics, explaining the over all concept. This will be followed by four more post explaining steps for each one.
Before starting, why do we need to do this? What will we get out of this, if you are a regular phone user?
Get Power to install more application
By default Android phone (OS version till 2.1, not 2.2 and later) does not allow you to install applications on SD card. SD card can be used for storing data, not application. This limits your capability to install more and more applications / games If you follow procedure four, all market applications will automatically install in SD Card.​
Overclock
All mobile phone processors speeds are configurable. Step 5 and 6 will allow you to either overclock your phone, which will increase the speed or under some critical condition, you can also reduce speed to increase battery life.​
Connect your Laptop/PC with internet through Phone
Wireless tether, which allows you to use your phone as modem.​
Use adware application without ads
Some applications requires special permission like AdFree. After installing AdFree, you can enjoy ad enabled freewares with out ad ​
If you do not foresee any requirement for above mentioned points, you can live without root.
Credits are mentioned in next set of posts as it will be actually linking to actual post. Along with link, I will build FAQ, which shall list known questions and answers.
Special credits:
1. regaw_leinad: His ROOT 2.1 thread never gave me a chance to ask a question. Gave me the required confident to root my phone.
2. nfinitefx45: For guiding my first flashing and partitioning. Even though information is available in this forum, but it is scattered. It doesn't give enough confident for a newbie to start. He just guided me with steps / links. Some of the points in this thread are based on his comments.

1. How to root HTC HERO SPRINT CDMA?
Following thread by regaw_leinad is an excellent thread providing step by step procedure.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
Known issue faced:
1. Ensure that you are not running sprint update 2.27.651.6. It is explained in first and second post. If you are already running 2.27.651.6, follow second post in that thread and then follow first.
2. If you are planning to use custom Kernel and over clocking, it is suggested to use recovery image mentioned just after step 10 in that post. It will ask you to loop back to step #9. Just follow.
If you are thinking, what will you loose by downgrading to 2.27.651.5, custom ROM installation procedure will take care of same.

How to backup SD card (along with nandroid backup)?
If you want to install applications in SD card, you need to partition your SD card. This will lead to complete data loss.
Steps mentioned in the thread above will create a backup of your phone in SD card. It is advisable to keep a copy of the same in some other safe location. This will be handy, if it is required for recovery.
Option #1: Easiest way is to switch off your phone. Pull micro-sd card, mount it in your PC using a card reader. Perform a copy.
Option #2: Through phone menu (Settings -> Connect to PC -> Default connection type -> Disk drive), prepare SD card data data transfer using unmount SD card and copy data from SD card to PC. This is also safer option. This option might not work starting Android 2.2, since unmounting SD card will force close all application installed in SD card. If you are using A2SD, it works as A2SD uses different partition. Read here
In both cases, you need to ensure that you have copied/backed up /nandroid/ directory of your SD card. If you are planning to perform partition, back complete SD card to your PC.
Now you are ready for partition.

How to get partition your SD card for getting it ready for A2SD?
1.What is A2SD?
As mentioned in first post, by default Android phone (OS version till 2.1, not 2.2 and later) does not allow you to install applications on SD card. SD card can be used for storing data, not application. This limits your capability to install more and more applications / games If you follow procedure four, all market applications will automatically install in SD Card.
2. Why does it require partition?
By default all your SD cards will have FAT16 or FAT 32 partition. To run application through SD card you need EXT3 or EXT4 partition. In addition, it is advisable to provide some SWAP partition to OS, which will enable it to store data of running application in SD card.
3. Why will it lead to data loss?
Standard procedure will format SD card and re-partition it. It means you will loose data. Commercial tools are available to re-partition without data loss, but I have not tried it in recent past. If required do a google.
4. What is the procedure?
Critical : BACKUP YOUR SD CARD TO YOUR COMPUTER. Steps are in the post 2 of this thread.
Following steps are taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6292446&postcount=1
Step #1: Reboot into recovery. Post #9 explains the same
You will get into Android System Recovery.
Step #2: select Partition sdcard
To move up/down, you need to rotate TRACKBALL. To select the option, press TRACKBALL.
You will get into Partition sdcard menu.
Step #3: select Partition SD
Step #4: It is menu driven. Just follow instruction. I have allocated 64Mb for swap, 1024Mb for EXT and rest for data. It is not advisable to allocate more than 1024Mb for EXT.
After this step you will get back to Partition sdcard menu. Now you need to change your partition type to EXT3.
Step #5: select SD:ext2 to ext3
Step #6: As most of the ROMs are not supporting EXT4 (especially Sprint Stock ROM), do not upgrade SD:ext3 to ext4
Step #7: Press the back button on the phone to go back to the main menu.
Step #8: Select Reboot system now.
This will reboot your system. You would have lost all your SD card data. Now you are ready to flash new ROM.
Step #9: Select If you had taken backup of your data earlier, you can restore them now. In particular, to flash your ROM, you need to copy ROM ZIP file to root directory of your SD Card..
Steps for those struggling with partition option (ie step #4):
Step #4.1:
Partition sdcard?
Press HOME to confirm.
any other key to abort.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
press HOME button
Use trackball or volume-keys
to increase/decrease size.
HOME to set (0=NONE) :
Swap-size = 32 MB
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Using TRACKBALL select 64 MB.
Press HOME to set.
Ext2-size = 512 MB
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Using TRACKBALL select 1024 MB.
Press HOME to set.
FAT32-size = Remainder
Continue partitioning?
Press HOME to confirm.
any other key to abort.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Press HOME.
It will take few minutes.
Your card is ready (with out data ).

How to install preferred ROM?
Next step is to flash a custom ROM. I successfully flashed ROM available in thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703267
It is based on Sprint 2.27.651.6 STOCK. You need to download HeroCSprint_2276516-xxxxxxxxxxxxx from that thread.
Step #1: Download required ROM. Ex: Sprint 2.27.651.6 STOCK Deoxed w/A2SD Update 3 has HeroCSprint_2276516-... Size of the ROM will be approx 100 MB to 150 MB
Step #2: Copy downloaded ROM to root directory of SD card. It shall be available in /sdcard/. For copying, you can use the steps followed to copy files from PC to phone which you were rooting the phone by getting into adb shell. Keep the file as ZIP file only. Do not unzip.
Step #3: Reboot your phone in recovery mode as mentioned in post #9
Step #4: From Android system recovery screen select Wipe option. Rotate TRACKBALL to highlight the required option and press TRACKBALL to select
Step #5: You need to wipe data, dalvik-cache. If you are already having A2SD, you shall wipe SD:ext partition.
Select them one by one and press HOME button to wipe data.
Step #6: Go back to main menu by pressing BACK button
Step #7: Select Flash zip from sdcard
Step #8: Select the just copied ROM from the list of zip files.
Step #9: Press HOME button confirm flashing
Step #10: It will install ROM. Once completed system will go back to main menu.
Step #11: Reboot by selecting Reboot system now option.
Enjoy your new ROM.

How to install a custom kernel?
It turned out to be simpler that what I thought.
Step #1: Download required kernel.
With Sprint 2.27.651.6 STOCK Deoxed w/A2SD Update 3 ROM mentioned above, DarchKernelv4 710mhz with Free Memory Tweak For Infinitefx Kernel is found to be working.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step #2: Copy the zip file Infinitefx_v4_710_M.zip to root directory of sdcard.
Step #3: Reboot you phone in recovery mode. Refer to post #9
Step #4: From Android system recovery screen select Wipe option. Rotate TRACKBALL to highlight the required option and press TRACKBALL to select
Step #5: You need to wipe dalvik-cache. As you are only updating kernel, you need not wipe data and ext partition.
Select them one by one and press HOME button to wipe data.
Step #6: Go back to main menu by pressing BACK button
Step #7: Select Flash zip from sdcard from menu using trackball
Step #8: Select the zip file copied into sdcard in step #1.
Step #9: Press HOME button
It is advised to once again wipe dalvik-cache post kernel flash.
Step #10: From Android system recovery screen select Wipe option. Rotate TRACKBALL to highlight the required option and press TRACKBALL to select
Step #11: You need to wipe dalvik-cache. As you are only updating kernel, you need not wipe data and ext partition.
Select them one by one and press HOME button to wipe data.
Step #12: Go back to main menu by pressing BACK button
Step #13: Reboot the phone by selecting 'Reboot Phone' option
Your phone is ready. 710 Kernal will by default set the clock speed as 710Mhz. You can adjust the speed by using market applications.

Frequently asked questions.
A. How to upgrade from 2GB to 16GB micro-sd
Step #1: Ensure you are using RA 1.6.2 as recovery image. It will be the last line in your phone, when you are in recovery mode (Check Post #9). Lower and upper versions are being reported as having some issue as on this date. If you are having any other version, Flash RA 1.6.2
Step #2: Take nandroid back up on you phone on old SD card and save it in your PC. (Post #2)
Step #3: Nandroid would have saved backup of your phone in SD card. Mount your SD card in your PC and take complete backup of your SD card's FAT32 partition.
Step #4: Prepare your new SD card as mentioned in post #3.
Step #5: Once you prepared your new SD card, mount it in your PC.
Step #6: Restore your backed up copy of old SD card to new SD card(on FAT32 partition)

How to remove default applications?
Even though steps are simple, it is advised to follow it under expert guidance. You shall know what you are doing and do it properly.
Step #1: Get into android SDK tools directory to access adb program. You should have learnt it by now. (Or refer to post #2 and ensure adb devices lists your device)
Better to keep a backup of application you are going to remove.
Step #2: Reboot your phone in recovery mode (Post #9). Expert might state it is not required, but will prefer this way.
Step #3: Enter following set of commands one by one in command prompt.
md c:\backup\AfterRootAPKBackup\
adb shell mount -v /system
adb pull /system/app/ c:\backup\AfterRootAPKBackup\
adb shell umount -v /system

another way to do this is through fast boot, which i personally use, or the app quick boot
for installing custom rom remember wiping, kernel-make sure it's for your build lol

Thanks for comment. If you have steps for those two missing points, let me know. Will update.

Nice job! I expect to link to this info often when helping out the new folks. I was one once and was guilty of not reading as much as I should have. I think they get intimidated by having a question and then seeing 1,800 posts! Yes, the search button is there but, you know..... This would have helped me a bunch.

Great idea. Thanks for the work. This would have come in quite handy when I was first getting started. I think I read for 3 weeks before I tried my first root and rom.

I read that it is a good idea to wipe dalvik after flashing a new kernel

Wiki is always down
So it seems
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

great writeup, thanks. bookmarked, wiki can be cluttered sometimes.

[Q] first time root and flash

ok so there are so meny threads and videos around about rooting and flashing a new rom, my proplem is that i am not an expert, they all give different info,programs to use ect... im a little nervous that i might use the wrong program or miss something and wind up with a brick...
i am using an acer a501 running android v 3.2
so if i understand correctly i need to.....
1.revert back to andriod 3.0.1 (not sure how yet)
2. download iconiaroot1.3, unzip, copy it to sd card (settings set to allow unknown and debug on)
3.install iconiaroot on tablet
4. open and run iconiaroot
5. now rooted
im i correct? did i miss something?
ok assuming all that is correct can i now flash a custom rom?
if so is the process similar? install rom onto sd card and install?

Correct. Just one step more
6. Before installing custom ROM you will need to install Acer Recovery Installer and flash custom recovery.

Root A501
Download a file manager if you don't already have once such as astro file manager or es file explorer. Also download Acer Recovery. Download both of these from the market.
Step 1. To downgrade to 3.0.1 to be able to root first thing you want to do is download this file here
http://depositfiles.com/files/64bo1ivat
Step 2. Once downloaded it copy the update.zip file into the root file of your sd card. the root folder on the sd card is in the tablets internal memory not an external sd card.
Step3. Turn off the tablet and once turned off press and hold the power button and volume down button. Don't release until you see the green andriod with the gears moving.
Step 4. Once tablet has booted back up check to see which version the tablet is running. To Check go to settings....about tablet...and underneath android version make sure the tablet is running 3.0.1
Step 5. If the tablet is running 3.0.1 then download this file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138228
This is a link to a xda thread that has iconiaroot-1.3.apk.
Step 6. Download iconiaroot-1.3.apk
Step 7. Before opening iconiaroot make sure in settings....applications that unknown sournces is checked then click development and make sure usb debugging is checked.
Step 8. Now open iconia root and hit root.
Step 9. Run acer recovery
Step 10. Select clockworkmod recovery and instal recovery image.
Step 11. Click this link
http://depositfiles.com/files/vwaavz1pa and download TLSS_A501_3.2_Little_Honey.zip
Step 12. Once downloaded you will have 1 zip file. Rename it update.zip and transfer it do the tablets sd card.
Step 13. Turn the tablet off. Then press power and volume down to run cwm.
Step 14. Once at cwm screen use the volume buttons to go up and down. go down and instal from sd card and hit power to select it. Then select apply sdcard/update.zip then select yes and it will instal
Step 15. Once update is done go back and click reboot system now
Step 16 Go to settings about tablet and double check your updated.
Step 17. Have Fun!!!!

Hey I am trying to root my acer, and ive followed all of these directions up until step 11.. The honey.zip file tht is provided isnt installing. Ive tried installing from the internal sd and the external sd with no luck, I think the file itself may be corrupt. Do I NEED to do this update before I can flash a custom rom?

It looks that Honey.zip IS a custom ROM (don't know for sure).
You're rebooting into recovery and trying to install from sdcard?
Are you receiving any errors? What exactly is happening?

Don't bother renaming to update.zip.... Just select "Install zip from sd card" in CWM...
And no, you can use ANY custom rom at that point...

Remember to wipe all data before flashing
cache - dalvik- battery stats -flexrom etc. etc.
Obviously, you should backup your data previously and then you can restore them

From stock 4.5.141 to CM7.2RC2 (a brief how-to)

There are some noob tutorial around, but none of them specifically says
anything about 4.5.141 unless you dig quite some pages at the end of the
threads. This post is not going to be a complete guide or tutorial, nor it is
going to be a detailed how-to. It will be a breif how-to that tells you what
works on 4.5.141 and give you some confidence when rooting and unlocking
4.5.141.
Before flashing a new rom on your stock atrix, you should understand the risks
of losing data, voided warranty, malfunction of the new rom, or even get your
phone hard bricked. if you were worried, and still are worried after reading
many XDA threads, a new rom is not for you. The stock ROM is not that bad.
Enough talk, let's get to the point of how to get CM7.2RC2 running on your
phone.
Table of Contents
1 PRE-CONDITIONS
2 BRIEF PROCESS
3 DETAILS
1 PRE-CONDITIONS
Atrix phone.
Stock rom running 4.5.141, stock bootloader.
If you have rooted your phone, or have unlocked your bootloader, just skip
the corresponding step.
If you are running versions below 4.5.141, there are ready-made scripts to
do things.
I myself use an SD card, but I don't think it's necessary to flash
CM7.2RC2 or gapps. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)
Windows OS.
Motorola only offers phone drivers to Windows OS.
Internet access.
You will need to download files from some file sharing websites.
USB Cable.
For connecting your phone to Windows PC and run commands.
Know how to run a command line application in Windows.
I won't tell you how to use unzip, cmd.exe, and cd commands. I won't tell
you about PATH, directorys and file names. If you are looking for a
word-by-word tutorial, stop now.
2 BRIEF PROCESS
Download CM7.2RC2 zip file and gapps.
Backup important user data.
Root your phone so that you can run Titan Backup.
Backup all your data, including app data that you wish to keep.
Unlock bootloader.
[Root again &] flash recovery. //read why I root again in details.
Flash rom and gapps.
Config CM7.2, restore app data.
3 DETAILS
Before I start, I need to say I only own an AT&T atrix, other atrix could have
some differences, please read the threads that I refer to to get more
information.
Download CM7.2RC2 zip file and gapps.
CM7.2RC2
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=olympus
download update-cm-7.2.0-RC2-olympus-signed.zip
gapps
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps
download the one for CyanogenMod 7.
Store CM7.2RC2 to your internal storage.
Store gapps to your SD card. [I don't know why.]
Store them to both place if you are unsure. [That's what I did.]
On stock rom, internal storage is mounted at mnt/sdcard, SD card is
mounted at mnt/sdcard-ext.
# Could someone tell me why where to store the zip file matters?
# I see Romracer's Recovery can flash zip file in either place.
Back up important user data.
Everyone has different things to back up.
My list includes:
Contacts.
App settings & data
if the app support "backup to SD card" alike function, do it.
if the app support syncing, do it.
this includes syncing all items on google account.
for other apps, you may use Titan Backup later to backup data.
bookmarks.
ssh keys stored on phone.
icons on Home screen.
a list of installed apps.
Photos/Camrecords.
Musics
PDFs
network and VPN settings
I purposely do not mention apps I am using to avoid advertising.
Root your phone so that you can run Titan Backup.
I don't think rooting your phone is necessary at this stage, but I did it
in order to use Titan Backup. If you have nothing worth backing up, you may
skip this. (Please tell me if I'm wrong here.)

unzip the 7z file you downloaded, start cmd.exe and go to that dir.
connect phone to Windows PC using usb cable.
run these commands:
Code:
moto-fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img
moto-fastboot reboot
replace /system/bin/su with /preinstall/su and set permission to 6755.
when phone is fully rebooted, enable USB debugging.
Settings > Application > Development > USB debugging
Disconnect and reconnect the cable if windows does not find your phone.
run these commands:
Code:
adb shell
/preinstall/dosu
/bin/mount /system -o remount,rw
cp /preinstall/su /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
PATH=/system/bin:$PATH pm install /preinstall/Superuser.apk
exit
exit
Notes:
If "adb shell" fails, try disconnect and reconnect cable.
On success, it shows "$" on a new line.
when running "/preinstall/dosu", you can ignore this error:
"bash: groups: command not found".
done.
now you are rooted, you can disconnect USB cable if you wish.
Backup all your data, including app data that you wish to keep.
More backups won't hurt. Now it's time to backup all your apps and files.
Now that you are rooted, you can install Titan Backup and backup the
non-system apps. Back up other apps as you wish. I'm completely new to
Titan Backup. I only used it to backup non-system apps, for the purpose of
restoring app data later.
Note that CM7.2RC2 is based on android 2.3.7, while 4.5.141 is based on
android 2.3.6. I did not try to restore 2.3.6 stock app data to 2.3.7
myself to avoid any possible error.
If for some reason, Titan Backup told you you are not rooted, just do the
root step again. It does no harm to your phone.
Unlock bootloader.
[install motorola USB drivers]
if you haven't done this. Do it now. see download link at step 3.
[download RSD, fastboot, and the small 1MB SBF file.]
moto-fastboot is included in the 7z file in step 3.
RSDLite and the 1MB SBF file download:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
scroll to the "Unlock:" section.
"Unlocker only SBFs - These small 1mb SBF files will get your phone ready
to fasboot oem unlock. They are the files most people should use."
Notice that the 1MB SBF file is different for ATT and other atrix.
Choose the correct version.
Power off atrix. take out microSD card and sim card. [not sure why]
Flash the small SBF file using RSD Lite.
Unzip the downloaded small SBF file.
Install RSDLite.
Boot phone to RSD mode. Connect USB cable. Run RSD Lite on Windows PC,
select the unzipped .sbf file, press Start.
[I guess you know how to boot to different modes now. But just in case,
first Power off your phone, hold Volume Down and press Power, when screen
show "fastboot", press Volume Down to cycle between choices, when it show
"RSD", press Volume Up to confirm.]
The phone will disconnect and connect again and may goto other modes
automatically. Watch the progress shown in RSDLite window.
Here is a side story: while I'm flash this, the phone switch to fastboot
mode automatically, when RSDLite is waiting for the phone to go to BP
pass ?? mode, at progress 98%. I didn't notice it is still waiting for
the phone, when I see it goes to fastboot, I just run the fastboot oem
unlock command in the next step, and the phone get unlocked successfully,
then I reboot it with fastboot reboot. But when the reboot finished, the
phone asks me to setup moto blur and google account. apps and user
configs are gone. But I don't care, becaue I have all important things
backed up. I just skipped most of the setup because I'm going to flash a
new ROM. So it looks like the phone did a factory reset after the
unlock. I also lost root after this. Could someone tell me is this
expected behavior of a normal unlock, or is this a consequence that I
failed to let RSDLite work to the full 100% progress?
Do fastboot oem unlock.
Boot phone to fastboot mode. connect USB cable.
Switch to the dir that contains moto-fastboot, then run these commands:
Code:
moto-fastboot oem unlock //It will print your device ID.
moto-fastboot oem unlock <your-device-ID>
moto-fastboot reboot
Done.
When your phone reboot, you will notice the unlocked red text on motorola
screen.
I hope you did not get a factory reset. But if it did, don't panic.
[Root again &] flash recovery.
I definitely do not want to root again here, but my phone looks as if it
has got a factory reset when I was unlocking the bootloader. And I lose
root as a result. I could just go ahead and flash recovery, but it turns
out I need to delete a file in /system partition before I can boot into
Romracer's Recovery. To delete that file, I need root.
[download Romracer's Recovery]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
You can download any of the recovery file listed there under "ALL USERS".
To root again, just redo step 3.
Rename (or delete) /system/etc/install-recovery.sh using a root file
manager.
When you are fully rebooted, install a root file manager (for example, ES
file explorer), and rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to
install-recovery.sh.bak
Until you rename or delete this file, you can't boot into the recovery
you are going to flash. Because the recovery file will be replaced when
the phone boots.
flash recovery.
If you downloaded zip file, unzip it.
Then copy img file to the dir that contains moto-fastboot.exe.
Boot phone to fastboot mode, connect phone to Windows PC, go to
moto-fastboot dir, run these commands:
Code:
moto-fastboot erase recovery
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix5.img
moto-fastboot reboot
Flash rom and gapps.
Preparation
If your battery is low, replace battery now. There is no stop and resume
support when making a backup or flashing a new ROM.
If you have taken out microSD card and sim card when unlocking
bootloader, you should put it back now.
Boot into recovery mode.
Inside recovery, press Volume Up and Volume Down to go up and down.
Press Menu soft key to confirm.
Do a backup.
Go to Backup & Restore and create a backup.
You will be asked whether to include webtop in the backup.
If you do, expect the backup to take a long time. (~30 minutes)
Flash CM7.2RC2 and gapps.
In recovery menu, choose install zip file from SD card.
Locate the CM7.2 zip file, and confirm flash.
When done, you need to wipe some data/cache, confirm wipe in each step:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
Advanced > wipe Dalvik Cache
When asked whether to include sdcard-ext, I chose yes.
Done.
You are ready to reboot the CM7.2RC2.
Config CM7.2, restore app data.
Some configs you may want to tweak:
Home Screen > Menu > More > Wallpaper
CM settings > Display Settings > Screen-off animation > off
Display > Brightness > [auto]
Display > Animation > none
Date & Time > Select time zone
Sound > Phone ringtone
Sound > Notification ringtone
Sound > Haptic feedback > off //vibrate when pressing soft keys
CM settings > Sounds > Mute camera shutter
CM settings > Input > Long-press menu > soft keyboard
Some first impressions of built-in apps and the CM7.2 ROM.
The Motorola stock quickoffice is gone. you might want to instal Adobe
Reader for PDFs.
Stock gallery is unusable, it's worse than Motorola stock Gallery. Just
use Quickpic and set your image/photo directories.
ADWLauncher has 3 icons in the stock, you can change it to 5 icons.
ADWLauncher > UI Settings > Main Dock Style > 5 Icons
Now you can go ahead and install apps you use from Market(Google Play).
You can restore user app backups from Titan Backup.
Enjoy CM7.2

perhaps after you unzipped the moto-fastboot stuff you didn't direct your command prompt to the directory?
or missing the path to it in system variables or something?
i remember i just have the directory with moto-fastboot in flash drive which i just navigate to in command prompt just to be able to run the moto-fastboot command
hope that helps?

[GUIDE] Rooting G1, ADB/Fastboot Setup, Partitioning, etc.

This guide is compiled of various guides and threads that I've read and I want
to sum it all up in one post so you can root your HTC Dream (G1)
*many if not all rooting guides are incomplete or missing download links – I will do my best to keep links
posted and alive!
!!READ AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS!! DO AT OWN RISK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR BRICKING YOUR PHONE.
I've compiled all of the files necessary and uploaded them to my drop
box
INDEX:​
-|1|: Setting up adb and fastboot
-|2|: Rooting
-|3|: Changing hboot versions
-|4|: No recovery?
-|5|: Un-Root
*This guide assumes you are using Windows but Linux and iOS will be able to use most of it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First off thanks to Demkantor since he was my sensai in a way (wax on wax off style)
Then thanks to HTCDreamOn, EzTerry, Cyanogenmod and all the developers out there that make all of this possible!

This is the optional ADB and Driver setup. I recommend you follow it through as it would make things easier in the future. This is more a reference post.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
1: ADB and Fastboot setup with HTC Drivers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
In order to do certain things that pertain of flashing radios and hboots you are going to need ADB and
fastboot. This is also useful for The Google Bypass if you dont have data or an activated sim card.
Go ahead and download this zip
Extract the zip file straight to your local disk. (You should get something like this
afterwards "X:\Android" x being the letter of your local disk)
Now that you have that on your local disk. Go to X:\Android and install HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe. (This
has most if not all HTC USB drivers)
Finally add a path in order to access ADB and Fastboot from cmd on the computer.
Click on the Start button and right click "My Computer" and choose
"Properties".
Now you should be in "System Properties" under the
"General" tab, go to the "Advanced" tab and click
"Environment Variables".
Now you'll be in "Environment Variables", Now under the
"System Variables" scroll down to "Path" and highlight
it by clicking on it and now click "edit".
IMPORTANT be sure to not delete ANY of the
variable values already in the "Variable Value" section. Now that that is
clear, go ahead and ADD this to the "Variable Value"
section: ";X:\Android" (Obviously replace X with your appropriate local disk letter and without
quotations)
You now have setup ADB and Fastboot.
But in order to use ADB and Fastboot you must go back to "Start" click or search
for run, type in cmd and you will now have command prompt open.
NOTE: I will not post what the command are since all you have to do is type in "adb" or "fastboot" in the command prompt and it will show you the sub
commands for each perspective command.

2: Rooting
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
-----------------
Step 1
-----------------
Assuming you're not on stock Android 1.0 follow steps 1-6, if already on android 1.0 skip to step 7 (1 when item is hidden).
This link is for RC29 (US)
*Optional is the update.zip as it seems to not work for some other wise you can skip the update.zip flash*
But if you need RC7 (UK) then use this link
Now plug in your phone and go to USB-MS. Go ahead and right click your USB-MS drive that appears
on your computer and hit "Format..". Now under file system be sure to set it
as FAT32 then hit format. Depending on how much memory your SD card is will
effect how long it will take. Once it is done move the DREAIM.NBH and update.zip into the
root of the SD card.
*only do this step if you got the update.zip file otherwise skip this step* Now power down your phone and boot up into Recovery mode (Home+Power).
You'll see an exclamation point with a triangle if you booted correctly. At this point
press "ALT+L" then you want to wipe all data so press
"ALT+W" then press "ALT+S" to
apply the update from the SD card.
Power down your device and boot it back up into fastboot mode (Camera+Power). It'll prompt you
if you'd like to install update hit prompted button and wait, this may take a bit and it won't be done
untill it prompts you that it is done so do not worry if it seems like its taking long and DO
NOT battery pull while it is installing.
Power down and now boot normally. You now have android 1.0 stock.
Sign-in into google.
GOOGLE BYPASS METHOD : only necessary if you do not
have data or an activated sim card or no sim card at all. But Wifi is required.
("<enter>" is actually the actual enter button so when it says "<enter>" press the enter button AKA return button)
Power on your phone but do not press anything. Plug your phone in via USB.
Slide your keyboard up type this is: "<enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter>". (Since you are on 1.0 this actually a command to enable USB Debugging although
you can't see anything)
Your pc will detect another device and begin installing drivers. (This is what HTC drivers installer was
for so your device will be installed correctly)
Now open cmd via run on your computer. Type in "adb devices" and it should show your device.
Example :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
HT844GZ64748 device
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT844GZ64748 device
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(You only see this: "adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *" when its the first adb command your run when you open cmd)
type: telnetd<enter>
now on the computer using the command prompt type: adb forward tcp:23 tcp:23
then press enter
type: telnet localhost
press enter and you should see a # as you should have a root shell (while in this shell in order to backspace you must press the "Delete" button on your keyboard as pressing backspace will not do anything)
type: setprop app.setupwizard.disable 1
press enter
type: ps
press enter, this will show all the running processes
on the right column look for "com.android.setupwizard" then once that is located follow that line on to the second column from the left, the number in that column is the PID
type: kill PID
replace PID with the number that you found from the second column
It should now be at the home screen, if not press the "Emergency Call" button and press back and then you should be able to unlock the phone with the "Menu" button.
Now you can go to the settings connect with wifi and then bring down the notification that says you need to set up your account to sign in with your google email
Go to the market and download "TelNet" app. Once you have
it installed, go to USB-MS and put this recovery image onto the root of your SD card. reboot your device but do not press
anything or unlock the screen.
Once booted up slide your keyboard up, will unlock the device, and press the enter button twice and
type this in "telnetd" then hit enter (It’ll be a contact search but it’s okay). Now
go open Telnet app, and hit connect. If you did the telnetd part correctly you
will be prompted with a #. Otherwise you'll get a connection failed message, if
so reboot device and attempt the telnetd command again.
Type these commands in on your phone:
Press enter after each line
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery.img
cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You now successfully flashed Amon_RA_ Recovery. :good:
You may reboot into your new recovery (power on holding home button) and flash a custom ROM. But
I do suggest upgrading your bootloader and radio first as the amount of ROMs available to you will be
much greater!
-----------------
Step 2
-----------------
Okay so now we will be updating to radio2.22.23.02 and DangerSPL.
Reboot into recovery mode (POWER+HOME), plug your phone in via USB and toggle USB-ms and delete everything off your SD card and placethese files onto the root of your SD card. Exit USB toggle.
Scroll down to wipe data and do so.. than go to "flash .zip file" now the first file you want to flash is the radio2.22.23.02 let finish then press home+back to apply update, it should reboot back to recovery after this.
Now go to wipe again and do so.. the next file you want to flash is the G1 Spl (Hard SPL) so flash the .zip file and let finish than press home+back to apply update.
Go to wipe data 1 more time. now go to flash zip and select the "Danger SPL.zip" let finish and press home+back to apply update.
Power back on into bootloader (camera+power) and check if device says.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If so you can move on to the next part!
-----------------------------------------*
Step 3
-----------------------------------------
Again delete the old files off your sd card and place these files on it!!
Quick note this is the last radio update for this section, radio2.22.27.08, now if you want radio update 2.22.28.25 refer to the changing hboot section and it will have the steps to do so.
Radio 2.22.28.25 may have better reception in your area but will drain your battery quicker.
Boot up into recovery mode, go to flash zip from sd and select Ohsaka superwipe. wait till finish then go to power down!! now boot back up into recovery again.
Now do a manual wipe of data and cache.
Now flash the radio2.22.27.08 file.. let finish than flash the hboot1.33.0013d file and let it finish! then reboot the device for update to apply.
Power off the device, then reboot into bootloader (camera+power) and check if device says.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
*If so you now have updated both your radio and SPL and you can now flash any ROM you'd like.
But if you'd like you can follow the next step and install a custom ROM and I will show you how to partition your SD card as well.
-----------------------------------------*
Step 4
-----------------------------------------
Okay so now that you have completed step 3 you can flash a custom rom but now we must partition the SDcard.
Reboot into recovery mode and go to Partition SDcard
Partition SD. Press home.
Now I have 4GB micro SD hc. My partition settings are*
Swap: 128mb (swap is not needed and is purely optional)
Ext: 576mb ( or whichever option is closest to that I can't remember, this is for apps2ext so you can save your apps to your sd card)
Rest: FAT32 (this will once again delete everything but you should have all your backed up data on your pc)
This is what I have for my partitionings and it's works fine for me and it should for you too!
Once that is done go to SD:ext2 to ext3 and once that is done upgrade the ext3 to ext4. You now have a partitioned SD card with EXT4!!
Now all that is needed is to flash the custom ROM. I am currently running this ROM.
Now return to toggle USB-ms and place the ROM zip file from the link above as well with Ohsaka superwipe from the previous step (download it once again)
Go to flash zip file and flash Ohsaka superwipe.
Power down. Reboot into recovery.
Now return to flash zip file and flash the ROM which should be named FroyoCreamSandwhich. Once it is done it will prompt you to press HOME+BACK do so.
Now reboot your phone normally and allow it to boot up (it may take a bit the first time but this is normal when you flash a new ROM). You will now be given the option to sign in create an new account or skip (although I believe it has the option to connect to wifi built in). You now have flashed your New ROM!!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
3: Changing HBOOT version
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
This option is for which ever reason you need the flash recovery/radio/etc you need the Engineer SPL. which is the SPL from step 2 in rooting. although since if you are already rooted and have the latest HBOOT then that route is not the way to go.
So in order to go back to that engineer SPL all you need to do is flash Engineering SPL zip in recovery.
Then you can proceed to update radio/ recovery etc and then flash back to the latest HBOOT which is 0013d so just download
Hboot0013dand flash it through fastboot with this command: fastboot flash hboot hboot.img

--------------------------------
No Recovery?
--------------------------------
Download: http://d-h.st/v9b2erpqfyd7/orange-1.58.73.2.nbh
Like always place the file in the same folder as the fast boot directory.
Enter fastboot and run "fastboot flash nbh orange-1.58.73.2.nbh"
Wait for it complete the flash
Boot into boot loader again and you will have an engineer SPL 1.42.2000
Now you can flash any hboot/recovery/radio via fastboot.

--------------------------------
Unroot

Download these files...
DREAIMG.nbh
update.zip
Now would be a good time to un partition your sd card since there will no longer be a custom recovery..
1. first you take the "DREAIMG.nbh" file and the first "update.zip" file and place on root of sdcard!
2. start phone in recovery mode (home+power) do a quick wipe of everything! than flash the update.zip file.. wait for finish than reboot or power off.. whatever prompts tell you. than make sure device is powered off after finished installing!
3. power on via fastboot (camera+power) and wait for selection to pop up asking to install the update! press confirmation button to apply and let it work its magic!!
Now your phone will be on stock android 1.0 firmware! you have 2 options..
a. wait for automated updates.. could take up to 48 hrs..
b. flash updates to 1.5 and or 1.6 via stock recovery!
if you chose option b than you are smart! lol who wants to wait for updates for a G1 nowadays? lol
ok so now to apply updates via stock recovery you do what you would normally do.
Download these files...
Stock 1.5 (OTA)
Stock 1.6 (OTA)
(the stock 1.5 and 1.6 files are also "update.zip" so be sure not to mix them up and confuse the proccess!!)
1. Place files on root of sd.. DO NOT RENAME FILES, the stock recovery will only flash an "update.zip" so please dont make any changes to file.names...
2. boot into recovery mode (home+power) and wait for screen with yellow triangle and this thing ! now press alt+L together untill you see more words pop up on screen..
3. Now press alt+w to wipe the data on phone... (just do it dont ask why) lol after wipe is complete press alt+s to apply update! once it's finished reboot your device and you are ready to go!!
unfortunately the 1.6 i provided is not the DMD40, you still have to wait for that automatic update lol i have the 1.6 before the update... it is the official tmobile firmware its just not the latest.. never really bothered to search for latest one..

Hi mate, welcome to the G1 forums, good comprehensive guide, added to The G1 Oracle :good:

Thanks for this, watching for the rest with baited breath! You have written up the bit I have done but really cant seem to get through the next phase properly lol.

Your welcome guys. I ran up with some problems and my pc isn't available so ill try finishing this soon (probably in my iPod).

Okay yes this is perfect I can generate the links via the Dropbox app so hopefully this should be done soon!

Wow phew that took longer than expected (about 3 hours) safari is a horrible browser. Kept on crashing. Finally did all of it on notes and just pasted it on, revised and posted I hope this helps out! I will have the next steps up soon but for now you should be able to root your htc g1 with no problems what so ever have fun rooting guys. :laugh: I'm heading off to sleep. I'm exhausted. Later.:silly:

Thanks!
I decided to finish up the rooting part since there was activity on the topic. Feel free to look over it just in case I may have missed something. I doubt it but hey we're not all perfect. Exhausted but pretty satisfied on how things are coming out. Mainly I'm happy to see that this is on the G1 oracle and that this this is recognized as a contribution to the g1 forums!

Sorry for the incovienience but since majority of this post was made on my iPod using notes since safari is higly unreliable with desktop version sites. This the format of notes is kept when copying to the post editor. Thus this is how the link was copied:

Instead of like this:

Thus making it believe that there is a "RETURN" in the link giving you a 404 error. I fixed this along with some other 404 error links but it is all fixed. Either way next time there is a link that is not working quote it and I'll have it back up.

So I am no longer using my G1 but I will still finish this guide. I'm sorry for the wait guys.
