ok i'm an idiot when it comes to rooting my vodafone uk htc magic. everyone seems to advise different methods of rooting and now i'm confused. i managed to get the XDA wiki (just googled it and clicked cache) anyway i've downloaded the android sdk and now i'm stuck on the command part. i've gone to control panel - system - changed the path...etc.

but when i got to cmd prompt and type in adb nothing happens. i just get the invalid internal/external...message. what am i doing wrong?

c:\Users\*****> adb is what i type. is this not correct? someone please help me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
Your path variable is wrong.

The adb program is in the tools directory of AndroidSDK, so lets say the SDK is on disk C then the path should be

C:\AndroidSDK\tools;

Anyway, we need your fastboot info before we can tell you how to proceed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Phateless:
Thanks for doing this! Very necessary. :)

EDIT - I apologize if this has been covered, I didn't read the thread - I didn't see a section on updating the radio. Am I missing it? Would also appreciate a very small glossary for us NOOBS.

Thanks again!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] the00guy:
So I have a related question...If the article says that current shipping SPLs for the Sapphire don't allow us to flash a recovery ROM, how do we do it when we root the phone and have to flash AMON RA's recovery image?

Also I didn't see anything about radios in the wiki I'm a bit fuzzy as to why radios need to be updated if someone could please fill me in.

Thank you!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Phateless:
That wiki is horrendously out of date, it's saying you need a goldcard.
[Touch HD General] leobox1:
are there registry settings to these?
[Touch HD General] leobox1:
? anyone ?
[Touch HD General] Matthes42:
No, I don´t think so that only registry keys bring you that performance you like to get.

Try a new ROM. I´, using Leos L26 V3.5 and it´s really fast. But you can take even the others from Dutty or Miri or some others. Their ROMs are much faster trhan the stock ones.

If you don´t like to flash ROMs the only way is to execise with the caches. Tools like Advanced Config or SKTools can help you doing that.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiroots:
lets say you have all you stuff all pass worded with the apps you got the lock screen up. even the contact owner app to tell you call or email some one. so you think ur fone is fully protected right. oh and you have your wheres my droid app....i find your fone and just wipe it. i got a new fone fresh os ready for me to sign up and use your service.

thats what i think if i lost my fone. so is there an app out dere that can prevent/password home+power my fone and so no one can sell/use it?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
Not yet...but you could ask cyanogen to implement a password-protected wipe feature? Plus just call your carrier and tell them to disable your IMEI number...phone will become useless
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
It doesnt really matter if the person uses the stolen phone, if they cant they'll just chuck it. Either way you're left without a phone...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madunix:
If i found a g1 that doesnt seem damaged, i would never just throw it away. I would either sell it to some idiot or if i feel like i want maybe return it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ximonx:
If this was implemented and the hard-spl was still on the device then the recovery image could be replaced allowing password-free flashing again
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtrplr71:
there is app that allerts you if someone puts another SIM card in you phone and it does work I tried it. SIM card checker
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Yeah, my point was that password protecting the phone so it can't be reflashed doesn't help the victim, they are still without a phone. Tbh it sounds like more trouble than good to password protect the SPL and recovery. What if you forgot the password yourself?

SIM card checker sounds good, but again that's useless unless it gives you some kind of information that could help you recovery the phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiroots:
sorry to bump. but i wasnt home. okay so yeah we should have something to protect the recovery. also i would be happy, if a person went thru all that trouble to take my fone. thinking alright i can wipe it and sell it. then boom the recovery is pass worded. the sim checker app would not work. because they can just wipe your fone.

to the person. can i really call tmo and tell them my imei # to disable my fone?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kusotare:
so lets see, out of the million or so G1 owners in the US alone, how many of them actually know how to download, rename, and flash a rom? judging by the number of people who post ridiculous questions like "OMG I just renamed the rom i downloaded update.zip.zip and now it wont install! IS MY PHONE BRICKED?!", I'd venture to guess that not many people are going to go through all the trouble.

besides, this is why you have the 5.99/mo insurance on your 400 dollar cell phone, you know, in case you do something stupid, like losing it. that way, all you do is call up your provide, have it put into a lost/stolen suspension, and then talk to the insurance carrier and get a new one. I think the $50 deductible is a low price to pay for being an idiot if you happen to lose your phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneG:
$50?!?!?!? WTF?

My girl dropped her first G1 in the toilet and lost her replacement. Each time Asurion charged her $150 deductable.

Whos your insurance provider? Maybe we need to move to Colorado...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Agree 100%.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
What would you say if I got my replacement for free after dropping it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiroots:
i got a free replacement also. my first g1 was dropped twice and i bricked it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneG:
i would say...great minds think alike or at least know how to cook up a good story.

I also dropped...er...threw it across the street in my drunken rage ignited by said lady...

I called TMO on her phone and told em it was a hardware issue: g1 just stop working....They had me troubleshoot, found i was still in warranty and sent me my replacement, absolutly free.

The warranty however doesnt cover water damage and she admited it was self inflicted thus, she was ineligible for warranty replacement and insurance was the only life saver.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] k4r1m:
Well during my quest to figure out how get the JACHeroski boot.img to work on magic i figured out that the kernel needs to be ported some how... how i have no clue? shoot anything at me and ill try it =P...

from what i understand the ramdisk has properties and settings the phone like the init.rc and default.prop stuff.... now well the only reason im trying to do all of this is because there is certain features in JACHeroski that are in it's boot.img and since i managed to get it work using a different hero boot.img which what makes sense since that boot.img has the correct kernel... back to the point what i'm really trying to say is where is what i'm suppose to be looking for located in ramdisk or kernel? such as the auto apps2sd and all of the other features such as the following:

* Enhanced ramdisk with auto EXT2/EXT3 mount

* Cyanogens Apps2SD with a2sd ran before user runtime starts

* Includes E2FSProgs for checking and converting Ext filesystems (Thanks Cyanogen!)

* Apps2SD is automatic. All you need is a second partition.

* Supports ext2/ext3 for Apps2SD

* Linux-Swap is automatic! All you need is a linux-swap partition (32MB~)

* fsck at boot (should stop FS corruption)

* Tweaked frequency scaling options to be more responsive (Thanks Cyanogen!)

* Maximum CPU scaling frequency set to 384MHz

* TCP buffer changes

* PATH variable updates

* Calls to /data/init.rc /system/init.rc

i know that some of these are in the ramdisk such as the cpu frequency and such how about all of the other stuff? because if everything(above) is in the ramdisk i dont see a reason for the need to port the kernel since i could go ahead and use the standard magic kernel( depending on the board ofcourse)... unless if it will create an issue...

Thanks,
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
From the Jerp cyano port thread NK02 said his boot.img used the cyan kernel, which i think the JACHeroski rom uses too,

I tried using that boot.img to boot JACHeroski and it froze after vodafone logo. I wanted to try to use the kernel with the ramdisk from fatal1ty but cant unpack fatal1tys boot.img...

Over to you:)

UPDATE

I Did it.

One small change to boot.img

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] k4r1m:
Ok back to point, how doesnt someone port a google branded kernel to get it to on a htc branded device in this case G1/32B to 32A?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jfive74:
Are we, to begin with understanding the inner works of what makes the magic different from the g1? What differs that allows magic 32b use particular roms and not 32a? G1 users have less RAM and need to use card to load apps, swap and all that. We have more and maybe should focus on our system. Hero ROM will be released for magic by HTC in the near future. We should focus on building roms as the g1 did from the ground up. Adding multi touch, adding given features to the stable Rom we have now. The base all seem the same, cupcake. How to fix kernal for WiFi tether, Bluetooth transfer. Just find we are trying to run before we walk. They have a year on us with android. And understand may more. Just my opinion. Love all the work and efforts from all involved.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] k4r1m:
Totatlly with you, but some people wanna see the g1 stuff on magic... big problem i see right now is the kernels the g1 kernel tend to work on 32B magic since they are google branded kernels... we gotta figure something out for 32A because we basically just have one kernel to use which is the stanadard htc one.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hakeem9:
The G1/Dream and the 32B share the same Qualcomm MSM7201A CPU whereas the 32A has the MSM7200A. I'm not certain what the differences are between the two CPU's but it explains why the kernels will work without modification.

EDIT:

AND:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jfive74:

Thanks. Good info just got to tie it in to what it all really means in the end. Do all g1 have the same chip set?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kingchris:
Have you tried to do some changes in the boot.img of the original hero leak? The hero will use the same processor as the 32a magic. I dont know if this work, but a test can give the answer.
[G1 Accessories] SolemnWishing:
Well, I was at the mall yesterday and my friends ambushed me with several bottles of perfume, many sprays of which hit my G1, specifically the screen which was covered with a protector. I wiped it off immediately of course. When I got home, there was a small hole near the center in the protector, and it looks like the whole screen protector is flaking apart. Ive already ordered a new one, but why would this happen?
[G1 Accessories] Mikey:
The only thing i can think of is the alcohol in her perfume found a weak spot in the protector?

Then it spread like cancer, i mean look at what alcohol does to a liver:p

[G1 Accessories] jashsu:
The base of most spray-type scents/perfumes is an organic solvent. Typically alcohol (of the 'rubbing' variety) but possibly something synthetic. I probably don't have to explain what happens when organic solvent comes into contact with weak plastic.
[G1 Accessories] imbonez9:
Bad perfume. Didn't you know that the G1 can sense one's you shouldn't buy? haha
[G1 Accessories] wootroot:
is it bad that i actually need you to "have to explain what happens when organic solvent comes into contact with weak plastic"? other than it burns a hole, but more so why?
[G1 Accessories] AdrianK:
Haha I was gonna ask how you knew that :P

@SW:

Do you have any pictures? I'm curious to see what this looks like..

Your sig is hilarious, btw =D
[G1 Accessories] jashsu:
Strong solvents will dissolve plastic. The plastic becomes plasticized. A more rigorous explanation can be found in an organic chemistry textbook.

Hello,

I have a problem.

I got my Wizard G4 (MDA Vario)

And it was simlocked now at first lokiwiz didn't work, so I decided to overwrite the ROM first and that's what I did. But I didn't read well, so now I have a wizard with a custom rom but it's not simlock free. Now at this point I do have the unlock code for my phone but when I put my sim in it. I can't find where to put it in.

Save Battery's Energy

For example, if you are using the phone, the sensor reading value is not stable, never enter the standby mode and lock the phone. But when you are not using the phone then place on the top of the table or somewhere, then the phone enter standby mode (Sleep mode) and lock the phone automatically, it will save more energy and never need press the key to wakp up the book when you are using the phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] muhlatte:
but when you lie the device on the table (maybe to surf in the internet) and download and install a cab (for more than 5 seconds), the device is locked ;-)

Hello All,

It's good to find online such a great and evolving community.

I hope that someone in here can help me solve the issue that I have.

When I start a call, or a receive a call, sometimes the person I talk to says that they hear me very badly and it's droping, whileas I am hearing them crystal clear.

The problem was there still with the original 1.14 SPL and Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional Stock WWE.

Now I have upgraded to Dutty's latest R7 WM6.5, hoping that the new Radio ROM can solve my issues but unfortunately this didn't happen.

The Carrier I am using is Globul Bulgaria, and I have disabled the 3G/HSDPA feature and currently operating only in GSM ( 900,1800MHz bands) mode hoping that this will improve the quality of the signal and thus provide me better talking experience.

The interesting thing is, that I am not experiencing this problem all the time. In some cells it's ok and in others it's not.

I was thinking to take my phone to the service center here in Bulgaria, but decided to ask here first if anyone has experienced the same problem in other GSM networks or even found a solution to it.

Thanks all for the time.

The app is set up to require a password to uninstall, but apparently it doesn't always work. The uninstall process is supposed to prompt you for a password to uninstall it, but sometimes it just removes the app name from the remove apps list and you're screwed. Here's what I posted on their "Get Satisfaction" forum (I just had to put it here in case they deleted it.)

OK. I got it. I installed and uninstalled the newest version. I don't think that did anything necessarily, but if it did, I thought I should include it. The unistall of the newer version worked/prompted for password on uninstall.

I ran the sprite backup uninstaller, searched my PPC files ( with PPC Total Commander) and registry ( with DotFred's Task Manager) and deleted anything that was left after uninstall (there was a lot >:( ) that said sprite on it (except the shortcut I have in a folder other than the default folder, which turns ito the default icon if the app, more or less, really isn't there).

Then I discovered that it was in fact the Windows Mobile default password applet that had been enabled, so I disabled the password/PIN entirely. I thought it was very interesting when I went in to the applet that PIN was selected, but it was in fact requiring a password - the one from Sprite Terminator.

Nee ner.

And since you can't do this without the password, umteen times, I think I'll do a little copy paste of this post.​

I put a replacement sim card in the phone thinking it would read the data on it, rather than the card ID tself. Whups. At least now I can use my phone without typing my interminable Sprite Terminaor password.
