Would like to try out a full Hero ROM for a mytouch 32b that does not utilize apps2sd... Its something I would like to try, as other ROM's that I"ve used on the mytouch that give you a choice to not use apps2sd are significantly faster from my experience
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pbaird:
I am doing this right now with the JACxHero 1.4 that just got posted. I used the instructions given in this post - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4353332&postcount=68
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] motivecc:
thanks for the link... i'll give it a go and post my opinions in a day or two of testing... from your experience does it help lag issues at all?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] motivecc:
how did you go about editing the a2sd file when you run the "vi a2sd" command... i'm using a plain old windows command prompt to use adb shell, and it only gives me a partial amount of the file and does not let me edit... i tried pulling the file from the phone and replacing it after editing it through wordpad, but that just crashes the phone on the splash screen... i've tried on 3 different ROMs, including jacxhero 1.4 for 32b and all the same results...

i r newb, hear me roar..

:p wondered if you, good sir or some other nice guru would mind helping me.. im new to this whole rooting business.. i have a stock uk t-mobile g1 with nothing moded at all..

so what does this recovery flasher actually do? does it mean i dont have to downgrade to rc7?

what do you do about getting a theme? and is easy to switch themes?

i think you have forgotten the nandroid backup step before flashing rom?

many thanks, please excuse my newbieness

when you place the radio or the hard spl into your root of your sd card do you have to rename it to update or just put it like it is???
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esskaypee:
Thanks for this. I was actually piecing the info together myself from various threads on here. Just a quick question, would you recommend creating the ext2 partition before or after flashing the rom?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
@APEX.7 it flashes the recovery image to your phone allowing you to skip downgrading. if you nandroid before flashing a modded rom, well i guess it would you stock back since i have never tried that i would not know, but i will add in OP later about amking one. To flash a theme just put it on root of sdcard and boot into recovery and flash like you would anything else. To wipe the theme just flash the rom over it.

@forken you do not have to rename to update.zip with cyanogen's 1.4 recovery image

@esskaypee you can make the ext2 partition before flashing the rom but given the nature of 1 click root that if you leave recovery without a modded rom it might revert back to stock reocvery so as long as you do not reboot without a modded rom you are safe. I think cyanogen's rom will detect the partition and do it automaticallly when you add one but if it doesn't just reflash the rom to activate a2sd after making the ext2 partition.

Sorry for lack of better explanations and grammer but i'm at work on my g1 right now.

Thanks David!!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nephron:
Nice guide, On step #13, instead of having them "Yank the battery out" just press Talk+Menu+Power to reboot, then just hold Home. Thats less hassle. :D. Also, i suggest having them flash the RADIO first, then the SPL. LEss chance of brick...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThR1LL:
I typed up something like this in that silly guide in the dev secion. For funzies I'll post it here too:

THIS METHOD SHOULD ONLY BE USED WITH THE G1/DREAM AND NOT THE SAPPHIRE/MyTouch

Backup all needed files from you SD card

Download and install Recovery Flasher

Open up recovery flasher and click flash recovery

Download the newest radio and place on root of SD card

Download Hard SPL and place on root of SD card

Download ROM of choice (Recommend Cyan 4.0.1) and place on root of SD card

Turn off phone

Boot in recovery holding HOME+POWER button

Select "apply any zip from sd" using either your trackball or pressing Alt+A

Select the radio file and install

After installation press HOME+BACK to reboot into recovery

Select "apply any zip from sd" using either your trackball or pressing Alt+A

Select the Hard SPL .zip file and install

After installation press HOME+BACK to reboot into recovery

Once in recovery wipe by hitting either Alt+W or scrolling with trackball

Select "apply any zip from sd" using either your trackball or pressing Alt+A

Select your ROM and install

After installation press HOME+BACK

There you go you are rooted with the newest rom! If you wanna go advanced and flash Haykuro's SPL then just follow this.

With your phone off, turn on holding CAMERA+POWER

Somewhere in the top-right you should see either PVT or DVT written somewhere.

If you have a DVT board, stop reading because you can't flash this new SPL.

If you have a PVT board then just follow along

Download the newest radio and place it on the root of your SD card

Download Haykuro's SPL and place it on the root of your SD card

Download

the rom you are currently running right now

and place it on the root of your SD card

Reboot in recovery

Select "apply any zip from sd"

Select and install your RADIO file and hit HOME+BACK when finished

Once you're in recovery again select "apply any zip from sd" again and choose the SPL file and install. After installation press HOME+BACK

Once you get into recovery again select "apply any zip from sd" once again and choose your ROM file. After installation press HOME+BACK

You're done!

EDIT:

Another thing for the new people beginning to root. If you guys decide to take the time to root then take the time to learn the information needed before flashing anything and not expect to be catered just because you are new. All the info for all you're little question are out there. Just put in the effort to search. If you don't want to put in the effort to search for the info then don't bother rooting.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
they are flashing the hard spl in this guide. why would the radio be needed before the hard spl? when i rooted my phone i used the hard spl then the new radio was released a month or so after. anyways i think most of them will have the new radio anyways.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esskaypee:
It's always good to check if the latest radio is installed, but for anyone with an unmodded phone this should be the case as it was part of past updates.

I'm going to root my G1 shortly & will report back with my findings. I have however made lots of research, so I don't expect there to be any problems.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasa3791:
help pls

can some1 tell me do i need to install hard spl and ota radio if everything after installed CM 4.01., recovery 1.4 and dark hero theme works ok?

if i have to do that pls tell me step by step how...

thx
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasa3791:
Hey Guys,

i've installed CM 4.0.1 and Recovery 1.4 (with Recovery Flasher), but without Hard SPL and OTA Radio before, after that installed Dark Hero Theme and all works ok.

can some1 tell me do i need reinstall everthyng and install hard spl and ota radio, and how can i do that?

thx
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esskaypee:
Right, I'm now also a proud owner of a rooted G1. Everything went without a hitch. I did not install radio (had the newest) and no SPL (not planning on changing the Rom from Cyan). :cool:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
@sasa3791 look at steps 16 through 25 in OP. to flash something boot into recovery (home and power), go to apply any .zip from sd, select the name of your file, hit home to apply, then reboot using home and back. i will update OP with this info later.

@esskaypee glad its working

@everyone who thinks they do not need the hard spl. i hope you never want to try another rom other than cyanogen's. yes i know they are nice but they make nandroid so if something goes wrong or if you want to play with other roms. also i hope that none of you ever need fastboot since the stock spl is apparently so great.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forken:
noobie question but whats puttin an file on the root mean? (english not my first language)

thanks

plus can you install a theme like you install a rom in the recovery boot?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Putting a file on the root of the card means just put it on the card in no folders.

Yes just install a theme like a rom, just make sure the theme is compatible with the rom.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwillikins:
Flash radio before flashing SPL

Yea,

I should have assumed it would be the same procedure as on the G1, I went and followed the original post and bricked my MT3G. Gonna get another one and be sure to FLASH RADIO FIRST BEFORE SPL. Besides this minor hiccup, everything has been great. Thanks to everyone for all the help and great information.:)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
you manually root the mytouch with the haykuro's spl which is the one for the sapphire which, guess what, is the same phone as the mytouch with more ram basically. :eek: i will go back and note in the OP that this only applies to htc dream/ t-mobile g1. could that be the reason i put it on the dream section?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThR1LL:
you can start by searching
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark_v:
Is it bricked?

So

8. Hold home and power to boot into recovery

Worked great.

I decided to make a backup

After making the backup i cleared everything and

Told the phone to put back the backup.

Placing back the backup worked fine as well.

Then I rebooted... and the phone hangs in the "android" screen.

When I boot with “Home” and “On” button pressed I get a default android question mark screen.

So I decided to do it the old-fashion way:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442480. I tried both the RC29 and the RC7 version but I after the rainbow screen I get a white screen saying loading, then checking and then saying "not allow" with a red "00028002" above it.

I would love to have see my phone work again so any help is appreciated.

Hello Blackstoners !

I have mini usb headphone for my stolen Elf

When I insert it in bottom of Blackstone ,

its says :

"The Device doesn't support the USB headset. Please Remove it "

Have any one stock of drivers of headphones mini usb To htc HD ??

thanks
[Touch HD General] ClydeB1:
Due to the 3.5mm jack, the usb port probably no longer supports headphones. You may just mess up the usb port settings by changing the usb drivers.

there are tons of more pins on extusb then miniUSB all of which would connect

Hi all!

My HD`s screen has some ugly scratches all over it (most of them light scratches, but LOTS of them).

I was wondering how I could get rid of them without changing the entire LC, as it's not broken or anything.:confused:

Does the LCD have a protector over it, which takes the scratches? If this part that protects the main LCD exists, can I change it?

Thanks!

Then I just bought a new screen protector and my HD looks as good as new. :)

[Windows Mobile Software Development] mma123:
Thanks for your reply.

TSK is by default associated with "ctlpnl.exe ctlmain,13", and it simply copy the TSK file to windows folder and open up settings->today setting. It does not apply the theme automatically.

I am looking for similar approach of autorun.exe which, I believe executes, wceload.exe to install and does some additional jobs to apply the theme.

Are you referring to some other internal installer? Then which one? How to do you invoke that -- command parameters etc.?

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] michyprima:
Since TSKs are simply cabs but with another function, I believe that the cpl calls wceload.exe mytsk.tsk /nodelete /silent then send a message WM_INICHANGE that refreshes the today. (But I'm not sure, you should test my theory).

@Benoit, hehe, I didn't mean a relationship...i was referring to the thing that it has similar functions as your nice app ;)
