You might try and actually ask a question or search the forum instead of asking someone to point you in the direction of the golden pig and have it cut up and served on a plate for you ready to go with your gold fork and knife.

LOL ok. I've done it twice before both didn't go so well though this would help prevent it. Take it easy.
I'd love an option to root as well but unless you want to flash the engineering firmeware and deal with that, you're gonna have to wait like the rest of us for a stable option to root the phone. You are not alone, trust me.

My plug broke, the little plastic piece that separates the pins finally gave out and not knowing I plugged in my USB cable and bent the pins. Now my phone doesnt work. It boots up but beyond getting to the Today screen is un-usable.
Can I open it up and just replace the port? (any tips on where to buy the part, I have the tools already Im sure and am willing to solder really really really small connectors. )
Or am I stuck buying a new phone?
Thanks in advance.
yes you are in luck, i am currently developing a program that will do exactly that and much more, just give me a few decades

Lets not act like this is an impossible task. Im just curious if anyone's done it? Or is everyone in the development and hacking forum are software focused.

Hey bud..
Sorry to hear that issue , as a Sprint Store & Repair Tech Mgr I would leave it to a tech to get workin on it.. If you want to you can sauder it and try to fix the pins but you run he risk of uniting circuitry when you put back together..which will completely kill your phone.. Suggestion: Repair Center or Insurance.. last option uprgade or purchase a new phone..
this is definitly and absolutly the wrong thread man. you are asking a hardware question of a specific phone on a software developers side ?!
so please accept the rules, because some people here have enought of junior posts like this. Read thread one ! although i wouln'd event post it there.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it!
Can you ball park the cost of such a repair? I dont mind paying, but if its close to the same cost of picking up a used phone on ebay (~200-250) I'd rather just get a new phone.
Thanks!

That is the part you are looking for right? The little USB female portion of the phone?
It's kinda expensive and risky, good luck with your repair, I hope this helps!

That is the part indeed, and you've just answered my lingering question! lol it would be cheaper for me to get a used one off ebay. If that part costs 50 bucks and a service tech would take at least 1 hour to fix it I'd be looking at a little less than just buying another. I appreciate all the help with this.

I just bought a G1 with the hero rom on it, but I want to give this all a try. I am interested in flashing the official HTC 1.6. I have all of the files downloaded, but I am not sure where to start. How can I determine what radio and SPL I have. (keep in mind I did not do the original firmware.) If there is a post regarding this, please point me in that direction. Once i get one under my belt, I will feel much better, and if this thing was stock I would jump right in. Thanks.
You do see that there is a forum entitled "Dream Q&A" right?
Go here and read whatever it is you need help with. That post probably covers most of your questions.
Also, I feel you should know that I find you pathetic for having to purchase a phone with a Rom/Root pre-installed.
Thanks, saw that, reading it now. Did not particularly set out to buy a modded phone, it just ended up that way, but your disdain is dully noted.

press the power button and camera button and tell me what shows up.
I'm a linux dev but not a android dev so please forgive the ignorance.
Can we take the work Paul has done and use it against the incredible? What do we need for that to work? a recover image? It sounds like he's gotten it to work with the hboot 0.80(not documented yet). I know the incredible is at hboot 0.77.
I dont know if the hboot 0.80 tricks would work for us since we're on a lower version.
Thanks!

We really need pauls help. He doesn't want to help because he's in the UK. And doesn't have access to one. So..someone needs to talk him into it. Lol. We really need his help. Unless you can find out more about his method and help make a custom Rom/recovery for us.
I might be willing to give up mine and ship it to him(wanting it back of course). If he breaks it, he breaks it..its under insurance.
I'm new to the scene so I don't have any relationship with him to ask as a favor that he try it. If someone could work that side of it..maybe we can get him to work on it.
Wow thatd be pretty sweet. Um talk to someone in the root thread. Someone's bound to know someone or head over too www.modaco.com and pm him yourself. I'm very sure if he wasn't responsible he would love to have access to the incredible. Doubt he will say no. Plus sense gives you the option to authenticate your gmail over WiFi.
idea
Used to read the Eris forum religiously and I had an idea... If he agrees why not start a collection to get an incredible? Five hundred bucks is a lot of money, but not I'd there are fifty people contributing which I'm sure we can swing...that's ten bucks each!
There are some trusted members of this community that might be interested in helping?
What do you think?
I'm going to try and hit Paul up on Irc tonight, but I really don't think his method will work.
Why don't you think his method would work? I know that there are some differences between the two, but its a start isn't it?

which irc is he in?
Because he is using a test img that was signed by HTC, that is why you need a gold card, witch as of right now I believe gold cards are disabled for us. But the way it works is with the gold card you can flash any Rom that is made for your device, ie bypassing carrier restrictions. Because the test Rom he is using has been signed with test keys it will allow you to than flash the update that was again signed with test keys. As of right now there is no way for us to use this method. But I am still going to see if I can get more info, from him. And lastly, we have a cdma device and there roms are gsm, that's a great way to brick your phone real fast, if you could find a way to flash it.
I wonder if the right 'donation' would motivate some developers to get to work on the root
I'm not going down that road again with donating. It just caused too many problems.
I agree donating can just cause a big mess. I am down for however I can help tho as I miss my rooted moto droid. lol

You could donate after the root was made.
I'm sure it's in the works...most like to sit back from the forums and do it in the privacy of a few to avoid being flooded with a million questions that have already been answered or questions about when it will be done.
Patience is a virtue.
Plus I won't be getting the phone for like a month. haha.

if you have to ask, it is time for you to give up. if you really want the self satisfaction, then maybe you should donate some money to the people who are "trying" to root. that way it will feel like you contributed to the root scene.

lol if you want to help, there is a way. if you've read the other thread, you just need to make one little change to get root. change ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0. what you need to do is to find out where that bit physically is on the phone. with great precision and a very steady hand holding a magnetized needle, give that area a light poke to flip the bit around. voila, you have a rooted phone.

no really i hope you dont, MS has been very very good to so far, putting things like that in the public eye will only increase the chances of MS becoming a royal pain in the arse with things.
