Excellent - nice one for posting this. I have the usual couple of questions.

1) - Will doing this still allow me to update with the official ROM release.

2) What do I need to do to be able to go back to how I have it now ( out of box with my personal data ). Wiping all data is scary.

3) - I've read elsewhere that you need to partition your SD disk - is this true, and if so can I do that on my computer ( and if so what kind of format )

Like Joemax, I'm on a Mac and am not to terminal savy:o:o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zyborg:
Great video tutorials - thank you for those. :)

Please make a video tutorial on how to format your SD card to ext3/ext4, including setting it up for Linux caching, and all that jazz. Thank you!

Are there any disadvantages to using this method of rooting?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joemax:
This is what I want to know, are there issues with Market access ? I keep reading of people rooting and then loosing the ability access Market.

Also, if I update ROMS will this remove apps and settings ?

As I understand it, all the firmware and OS are in flash memory whereas apps and user data / settings are in SDRAM and is completely separate.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheUnlockr:
No issues with Market access (but you might need to put your APN settings back in of course).

When you update a ROM it is recommended to do a Data Wipe first, and that will erase your apps and settings. But you can get your apps back when you sign into your Google account and just goto My Downloads (then just download them again).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joemax:
OK, thanks again David :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Meekos:
Well, I better get som help with this, and by that I mean my problems.

Yesterday I tried this 'How to' and I as I described at theUnlockr.com, the result was a hero in a looping boot. It keeps rebooting after the screen saying 'htc' and some green doodles (animation) waving.

It keeps doing the loop and stops only when battery is removed. As soon battery is installed it starts op doing the loop thing.

There was no problems or warning doing the 'how to' and that goes for the rooting 'how to' as well.

When I debug the looping allot of errors and warnings are showing, obviously.

SDcard is 8Gb class6, partitioned in fat32, ext3 (533Mb) and swap(77Mb).

So I´m asking for help to unddo or replace the rom or whatever one do in a case like this. What can I do?

This is not a critical view on theunlockr.com - it is my fault somehow, but I need some help or guide line to recover from this situation. And yes, I´m new to Android world but I like it. ;)

Sorry for english, I am not from around 'here'.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Meekos:
Well, I guess I don´t need the help after all. :)

I came to the assumption that the sd card, the partitions, might be corrupted some how, so I replaced it with the original sd card and before that I copied the content from the fat32 partition on the corrupted card to the original.

I then booted and wiped it and installed the update.zip again, and everything is almost back to normal.

I´m one happy dude now. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tofrost:
not working for me... put the files on the sdcard as mentioned. Run the .apk file and install it, so far so good. After opening it, the "Flash cyanogen Recovery 1.4" is greyed out.. ok, dont need it anyway.. hit "Backup Recovery Image" and wait... hero is working and after some time it says "backup failed". Also after typing "sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img" the button "Flash Custom RecoveryImage" also remains greyed out...

I have a European black Hero (unbranded).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xdaman85:
Can some one answer this simple question for me please,

I'v rooted and installed Modacos newest rom, I havn't got any partitioning tools in the Recovery menu, I realised that I used Recovery image 1.0

The question is, can I use the first video method to root and install Recovery image 1.31 or do I have to unroot and then root it again using Recovery image 1.31?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bryanchapman9999:
Hi,

I've got a UK hero on vodafone. I've done the first part of this and done a nandroid backup.

Before I do the custom ROM I have a couple of questions....

I keep seeing mention of a radio.zip - do I need this? what is it?

I assume I will need to make a paper backup of my APN settings?

Thanks for any info. I want to take the next step but I dont want to trash my new shiny thing!!

Cheers

Bryan

would this work for the CDMA Hero. I would like to root the phone and load custom roms that would enable me to save apps to the SD card.

It pretty much comes down to this: If you want a phone that's super pretty, super usable, super fast and that JUST WORKS, you get an iPhone. In doing so, you have to play by Apple's rules, which is a consequence of having a phone that works so incredibly well.

However, if you want a device that puts YOU in control, from choice of device to choice of UI and application development, then you go Android or Windows Mobile. Additionally, if you need a "true" business device (sorry, folks; a virtual keyboard doesn't cut it at the moment) that works well with Exchange and helps you get things done, then you stick to Windows Mobile or Blackberry (which is just as closed in as the iPhone is).

I loved the iPhone, but the virtual keyboard and "closed-ness" of the platform turned me off to it. Further, I realized that after jailbreaking and customizing it, it becomse just as slow and unreliable as any other smartphone. I also really, really, really wanted additional storage space. (8GB is NOT enough.) Windows Mobile is definitely old hat in this game, but the fact that it still works incredibly well and still offers a very useful tool set (for me) makes it the right choice.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] mickee13:
I'm strongly leaning towards Android and the Hero specifically to replace my WM phone. I rely heavily on syncing contacts, calendar, tasks and documents. Active Sync works fine on WM, however I've pretty much sorted that by switching to google mail, I can sync my contacts and calendar. I've read tons of posts on this, but can't seem to find specifically about documents.

For example, if I modify an Excel file on my PC, it then syncs with my WM phone, and I always have an updated document on phone & pc.

Is this possible with the Hero?

Also, what about task syncing? I understand that google tasks don't sync, is there another way?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thenewshaft:
As far as I can tell there is nothing avaliable that is anything like the Windows Mobile Office Suite.

However.

I installed "GDocs" from the market place which gives me access to all of my Google documents. You can View Excel type files but you can edit Word type files. You can even create Word type documents straight from your phone.

I've been using it on & off since I got the phone & the app is pretty solid
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mickee13:
Thanks, I guess I'll try out Google docs. I definitely like the idea of cloud based rather than Active Sync from PC to phone to laptop. Active Sync has been very flakey lately, losing connection, I've lost data a bunch of times and I'm just sick of WM and AS.

my question is same as above, does it work for perfected SPL?

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tq745:
i used this method and it worked fine. you can root this way without having to change from the so called "perfect" spl. but if you want to load a hero rom, then most require haykuro's spl.

Is there a similar method for Rogers Magic's and Dream's with the perfected SPL after the official upgrade?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] siccmade:
works great...had no problems thus far.....better then a 20 plus step to get root lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jayzusfk:
like the previous posts assured, this method works great on the mt3g.

i spent several days reading everything i could find about the goldcard method and the day i was about to flash my mt3g i found the one-click method and decided to try it first (since i didn't need another memory card).

zero problems so far. took maybe 10 mins.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] korndub:
this should work on rogers devices as well. just make sure to flash 32A roms.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nyne7lac:
Just followed this method....

My MT3G is now complete! Tethering & Multitouch browser!

Next I might try out a hero rom
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] OminousPrime:
Couldn't believe how easy this was! Took just minutes and I flashed Evil HeRo 1.9 on it minutes later. The Android system recovery RAv1.2.1G is beautiful and gives a lot of options.

- Reboot system now

- Apply sdcard:update.zip

- Apply sdcard:choose zip

- Wipe data/factory reset

- Nandroid v2.2 backup

- Nandroid v2.2 restore

- Format SD : fat32+ext2+swap

- Format SD : fat32

- Repair ext filesystem

- Convert ext2 to ext3

- Fix package uid mismatches

- Move apps+dalvik-cache to SD

Look at all this stuff! And yesterday I was messing with trying to find SDs that will make gold cards and running scripts to partition SD, flashing is easy as pie with this!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] XL4T3R4LU5X:
so what radio and spl do u end up with using this method?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Howler62:
i think the mytouch3g was also perfect spl? as for the Rogers ones since rom update will this work as per our phone difference.. 288ram etc.. or? that way we can keep htc update as an unroot program and this as a root program.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
This method will work on ALL sapphire devices, with our without perfected SPL! It makes use of the kernel exploit that lets you run something with root privileges.

It will not work anymore once the kernel exploit has been fixed (according to Zinx the kernel exploit will be patched for firmwares launched after August 2009). So the chance is high that when you upgrade to a new stock firmware the one-click method will not work anymore and you'll have to use the goldcard trick to replace the perfected SPL.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] naplesbill:
It did work for me. I did have to load the 2005 spl after the one-click and before installing a custom rom. My phone had the 2006 spl. I am now having the blurry issue though.

So it's actually three steps:

1) Perform one-click method

2) Copy 2005 spl to SD and rename to update.zip. Then using recovery to flash it.

3) Use recovery to flash your custom rom.

I should note that my phone already had the correct radio.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] scorpio2008:
hello all,

i have had my HTC Magic/Sapphire for about 6 months now, i think i have bricked it but it i can still enter fastboot menu and all so not sure. since this and im not great with androids, i went and got a HTC Hero, so was wondering if anybody can help, have a couple of options.

1- send this to someone on her to fix it for me and willing to pay.

2- someone willing to buy it of me as i dont want to really get rid of it and just chuck it away.

so if there is any offers, please contact me

=]
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ricardomega:
follow this instructions...

Download a recovery rom for your device

There are several different recovery roms available for the HTC Magic devices.

Amon_RA has created several nice recovery roms available from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530492 and get the Recovery Rom appropriate for your device - these recovery roms have Nandroid Backup and Nandroid Restore and are perfect for the average user.

You can also use Cyanogen's 1.3.1 Recovery ROM available for: PVT32A devices and PVT32B devices - this rom has some additional options for partitioning your SD card for ?Apps2SD/Swapper/etc.

Fastboot the recovery rom

Fastbooting a rom doesn't write anything to your device - it just loads it directly from your PC - so it's a completely safe way of fixing/recovering/backing up your existing rom. To fastboot a rom you need to first drop your phone into Fastboot mode and check that it's working. Now drop into a command shell and make sure the recovery image you're wanting to load is in the same directory that you're running this in. If it's called something other than recovery-rom.img then substitute that instead.

C:\AndroidSDK> fastboot boot recovery-rom.img

Use the Recovery Rom to Backup your current ROM with Nandroid

Once you've booted to a recovery rom - you can use the Nandroid Backup option. If you get a 'cannot mount /dev/mkblkxxx error' when you do this then check your microSD card is inserted correctly and if so, wait a few seconds for it to register to the recovery rom correctly. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again (sdcard can take a few seconds to mount!)

Than boot your recovery and wipe the handheld...

Than pick your sd card and plug directly to your pc and save a compatible room to your card and name it update.zip

Put the sd card on the phone and enter on recovery method on the phone and install the new ROM

I think you can do it ;)

However, today i tried to flash it with the josh Manila2D_Black_V14_WWE rom to see if i could let go my iphone 3g and get back to my good old htc. Here's the thing: USB=Plugged, ActiveSync Ok, HardSSPL, Unlock Sim, the works... When i clicked RUUWrapper.exe all the process turns out good and then, puff! My screen turns black, the Led doesnt work, cant get it reset or hard reset, pulled out the battery and back in, nothing! then i took the USB PC cable and put it on wall charger. The led shows RED, the screen is dead, nothing happens. It stood there for a while, then i tried to hard reset. Went to bootloader, "Press R", "Then Space" "ok", PUFF! nothing happens. Cant get it sync with my pc, wont boot with hard reset, screen's BLACK, now the led stays GREEN all the time when i replace the battery...Can anybody help me out?! If theres a sollution im sure i'll find it here. Thanks in advance!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
If you have Hard SPL V3 on the hermes, try to go to bootloader, Hold power, OK button and reset with stylus. Hold in all buttons until you get to tri-colour screen.

If you can get to bootloader then use the sd method to flash a different rom.

1. Format an sd card to FAT32, copy the .nbh file onto the sd card and rename to hermimg.nbh.

2. Put sd card into hermes and reset to bootloader.

3. Follow instructions.

Finally the Cure!!!

It is only fitted that i respond here the cure i´ve found once again in XDA-Dev.com for another serious mind blowing problem with a Herm200. After days and hours spent reading the forum, testing some possibilities, finally the solution. Well it appears that with a SPL 2.30, that doesn´t bootloads by itself or with a SD Card; does NOT recharge the battery, no RED Led whatsoever... the simple official ROM solves the case. I entered Boot Load Mode with side ok+power and stylus reset, appearing USB Mode when i connected it to my PC, NOT showing the connection in ActiveSync, however the USB blip did in the PC. So i knew it was connected, plus the "USB" written in the Hermes. I´ve tested with almost every ROM available in the XDA-Dev, ran to 1% then, crashed. Then i managed to dowload the Official Windows Mobile 6.0 from DOPOD WWE. Fortunatly, it passed 1% to 100%, reviving my good old HTC Hermes. Hope this information helps for anyone with a similar problem.

Cheers!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madprgmr:
My G1 (previously running JF roms and now Cyanogen) seems to only play audio out the right speaker of my stereo headphones. I am using the standard audio connector that came with it, and I was getting stereo output prior to Cupcake's release.

The headphones are not damaged (i.e. plugging them into my computer yields stereo sound), and the connecting cable to my G1 also appears intact, as plugging it into my phone yields a gentle stereo "pop" through the headphones.

A headphone with mic icon appears on my notification bar upon plugging in my headphones, so I'm guessing Android thinks it has a mic and only one speaker.

Is there any way (hardware or software tweak) that I can get it to output stereo audio again?
