How to Root a CRC37 phone

Afternoon people this is my first time posting i have a g1 phone

and i am looking for the easiest way to root it.

I have the CRC37 build version of the phone and i want to root the phone so i can put app's straight onto my SD card

Can anyone help or recomend anything im worried about bricking my phone which would be a dissastor.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CompactDstrxion:
Relax, the G1 is very difficult to brick.

Read this thread and don't do anything stupid like flashing SPL before radio...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paulswift36:
Here are a couple of hacks to help improve Email checking in Windows Live. I find 15 minutes far too long and "As they arrive" has never worked once for me so I found the registry key that controls it and built some cabs for it.

Simple run the cab for the frequency you need, I've provided 1 minute, 2 minutes and 5 minutes as they seem the most obvious. Not tested the impact on battery though yet.

Let me know how you get on, should work on all WinMo phone with Window Live installed.

Oh if you use one of these and then go into Window Live Options, it shows as Manual but it isn't at all. You can override these settings by just changing it in Windows Live anyway, no harm done.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] DJGurth:
Did you know you can download apps directy from 3rd party websites and install them stright from the browser.

Its nice to know you can :->
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kam187:
You can also search apps using your PC here:

http://www.cyrket.com/

Then scan the bar code (top left of the app page) using your phone to take u to the market page directly!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rody02_4:
So do you know any good 3rd party websites ??

I will be grateful :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hebbe:
hi!

i once owned a sony m600i. there was an application which made a complete, full backup of your device. including os, apps, setting...etc. like an image.

so you could play around with the device, and once it got messed up or you wanted your "old device" back, you just started the application and flashed back the image.

is something like this out there for winmobile? an application that can create a complete backup image of the whole device?

thanx :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] greg17477:
maybe it helps:

SKTools

SPB-Backup

SpriteBackup
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hebbe:
thanks for your hints. but it seems that you can't do something like a complete device-image with these softwares. it's more like backing up contact, apps, messages...

but thanks anyway :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] damogwai:
I use SPB Backup and it works perfect. You can also do a full system backup. Be carefull though with using a backup on a different rom...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hebbe:
and that's the point. i want to play around, check different roms, different apps and settings. once finished playing around, i just want to revert my phone back by copying the image onto the device! no flashing of the old rom, no installing and configuring of the old applications.... that really worked well on my sony m600i...this must also be possible under winmobile :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] benko286:
also looking for a complete backup, something like acronis true image on a pc...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] andyhud007:
Hi All

Well at last my TP2 arrived today and I've been playing around with it all morning. I have it syncing with my exchange server and everything else seems to be good.

Just one question though, not sure if its been solved or even if its possible. I have 3 Email accounts (1 Exchange One and 2 IMAP4 accounts) all of which work fine, and the number of unread emails shows up on the green 'bubble' on the messaging icon along the bottom of the home screen.

However, is it possible to list maybe how many unread emails there are for your email accounts (or even just the header of say the 1st unread email) on the home screen underneath "Call History" and/or "Calendar"? Thinking about it, can you alter the TF3D home screen in any way like that at all? A bit like the old MS WM home screen (even if it was naff!)

Many thanks in advance

Andy
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Themuzz:
With the directions from slayer69 and the package created by twopumpchump I made a cab which installs the widget engine to your mobile.

First of all, I cannot test it fully since I only have a phone with wm6.5 flashed on it, but the time I tried it, it worked. So if you try this, it's on your one risk.

So this works on WM6.5 phone where no widget engine has been cooked in, but it could work on other WM versions, so if you have tried it on another versions, post it here.

Afterwards do a softreset and try a widget. For example one I created which can be found here:

Streams-T Light

Download:

add_widget_engine_v2.cab

Note, if you do have the widget engine but you can't open .wgt or .widget files, just use this cab: enable_widgets_wm6.5.cab. If the file \Windows\wmwidgetinstaller.exe does not exist then you can try the cab with the whole widget engine.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Martinhdk:
Nice but the widget gives me an error; "Error update the software management database"

?

Btw - its on a WM 6.1 - Topaz
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] krazy_about_technology:
Same here. Although i didn't tried this cab, but i cooked IE 6 with Browsingie and browsingie_lang_0409 folder along with the Widget Packages from from Wm 6.5 build 23016 in my WM 6.1 21054 ROM. Widgets gave the same error while installing. I guess there is some registry hive or a file based metabase which tracks installed widgets/software. This is not setup as in 6.5 and hence this error.

I suspect that this metabase is same as used by the standard uninstaller control panel applet. I guess the installer executable that installs cabs has been changed a bit in 6.5.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lioryte:
Tested and working on i910 Base/lite. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gutsyus1:
I get exactly the same problem here!

and it's on a WM 6.1 - DUSK ; Manila 2.5
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] demonlordoftheround:
Installed the engine cab AND the enable cab and widgets are working on my Titan with WM 6.5.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ragingbull:
Hmmmm, sounds interesting.

I am tempted to try this on my Topaz HTC Stock ROM. :cool:

It probably won't work but it's worth a try :D

I'll let you guys know if it works (or if it doesn't :( )
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ragingbull:
Yep it's a fail! :D

It came up with the same message as Martinhdk.

Oh well. :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jokes On You:
yup same here. All my hopes are dashed:(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Themuzz:
Appearently it only works on wm6.5 where the engine is removed. The engine uses, seeing the error message, the database handling of wm6.5 which is different from wm6.1 etc.

Hmm, to bad
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] igloo:
Hi,

have installed the "add_widget_engine_v2.cab" and "enable_widgets_wm6.5.cab". When trying to install a widget (doesn't matter if .wgt or .widget, allways the same error), an error window pops up with a red cross but no text, just empty.

The same window appears when I start the "wmwidgetinstaller.exe" in the windows folder.

What is wrong with my installation? Has anyone seen this behaviour before? Any help is very much appreciated!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xplode:
Widget engine will only work on WM6.5, don't even bother to try it on 6.1 or earlyer - there are specific functions which are present only in WM6.5
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] igloo:
I have flashed the RTT Leet R2 WM 6.5 Build 23017. This is a light ROM without Manila. Nevertheless it should be able to handle widget?!?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Themuzz:
A little late reaction :) But yes
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fullbandit:
Hi, it works great with WM 6.5 Build 23017, I also tried it successfully with 23064.

Thanks for post.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Themuzz:
Thanks for posting whether or not it worked!

Looking forward to hear more feedback :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] qtruq:

[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] footboydog:
After trying several cases/pouches including the official C300 leather case (too bulky) and a cheapo faux leather pouch that marked the white casing of the phone I have finally found this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-GENUINE-L...ches?hash=item3ca4b454a3&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Its a pretty tight fit but you can yank the tab to pull the phone out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] footboydog:
Dammit I spoke too soon. It stained the Hero orange! :(

I've ordered a gel/silicone case now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] soulonfirexx:
Ouch, hope you can find something that you like!

I have been in search of a good case too, and I think I'm going to go with a foof pouch from Foof Shop. Another user of these forums got it and said it fits perfectly in an iPhone/iTouch size. Just a suggestion for you, if you like the style.

It's a shame my favorite company, Switcheasy, is staying Apple only :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] ewans:
Waiting for beyzacases myself - their diamond one was superb.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Green Squircle:
I'm using a large Luna pouch by Krusell. Paid about £12 for it on a buy it now from ebay and would happily recommend.

It's a good quality soft leather case and while it wasn't purpose built for the hero, it is as you can see a pretty snug fit

I can lightly hold case upside and gently shake without the hero falling out, but at the same time I don't need to wrestle the case to remove the phone. Only downside was the quality control sticker left a sticky mark on the leather when I peeled it off (which washed away with a little liquid soap).
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] footboydog:
Wish I had a black Hero. The white one gets marked without trying.

I might get my girlfriend to make me one of these:

http://www.instructables.com/id/Levis-Denim-iPodiPhone-Case/
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] cdmackay:
thanks; would you please confirm whether you got the Large or the Extra Large Luna, please?

MF recommends the Extra Large, for the Hero, but you mentioned only the Large.

Looking at the sizes there's only a few mm in it; I really don't want another pouch that the phone falls out of though :)

thanks again...
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] tallen3:
Foof is Ideal

I recommended the foof case, and the more I read with problems with other cases the more I'm glad I use this one. The interior is white fleece absolutely no chance of staining and great protection for the device. I've still heard all my notification sounds through the case and the black and white patterned cloth looks great. Its also washable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] cdmackay:
thanks; I love the foof cases: I was going to get one for my MBP, but my wife made me something very similar herself, just as good (or better :).

Which foof case exactly did you get for the Hero? How snug a fit is it?

thanks again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] soulonfirexx:
This is from a post that tallen3 made in another thread, but should answer your question:
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Green Squircle:
Just a large...

Bought it from these guys:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GENUINE-KRUSE...ches?hash=item5ad25ccf4a&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] cdmackay:
thank you both.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Leviathon:
I got a "Golla" case from the Carphone Warhouse, it's a nicely padded thing, never had one before only £9.99 - bargain
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] footboydog:
I got one of these:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/WHITE-Gel-Ru...Q5fMobilePhonesCasesPouchesQQsalenotsupported

It fits really well and is cheap as hell. It also makes it large enough (and increases the drag coefficient enough) so that it feels secure in my old G1 pouch.

the program can be used as an app aswell as a panel

with enough reading and tweaking opera you can get it to play youtube without using mediastream

nice one Luca, you've made it very easy to use (and visual is great).

only a question about the ROM used, mine appears like QVGA, rather than VGA - is this how others are finding it?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rajivshahi:
Did you mean the icons are big in comparision to normal one..???? Ya i noticed it....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] luca15thebig:
hello jonny!

What you see in QVGA?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] -Jonny-:
Hi Luca, I think it's just because the general pull-down (combo) is quite a big box, so not many items can be fitted on the screen (eg in Sound&Notifications settings). Also the volume control is huge - and so I assumed their was a QVGA/VGA problem here. Maybe my bad.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] pa3x:
I thing this is because win 6.5.1 is trying to be more thumb-friendly:

Big things on screen (combos, icons, menu), start moved to bottom, etc.
