hey guys, i tryed the one clik meth od here:

http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how...-in-one-click/

after everything, when i get to step 12 and reboot my phone (holding home and power) my phone just freezes with the rogers logo up (i need to remove battery to get back).

What can I try next to root my phone? should i first restore my back up image that i made with the program before I do anything else?

I need some help as i really need to root this phone for 2 reasons

1)apps on sd

2)Rogers locked out the touchscreen keyboard

Follow this, if you want CM keep going all the way through, if you want someone else's ROM then flash that instead of CM's.

Hold your horses! That isn't the link I gave you to follow... You are in dangerous territory right now... what all have you done, exactly? Flashing that SPL can and will brick your phone if not done right.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
I was using the link you gave me, close to the top it says to follow the linked guide for rogers phones as they are done differently(my phone is rogers)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
Ok, carry on! As long as your reasd twice and do once you should be ok. And don't worry about the 'on' vs 'off', the big concern is what board do you have, and you have the 32b PVT, which is the one you need. I believe that 'on' 'off' is in regards to carrier lock.

like i edited, the first link guy does not have the SPL that I now have, i will be following the final link

When it says:

extract both images wherever you'd like."

does it mean extract whereever on the sd?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
I would assume extract and place on the root of the SD card based off the fact you will be doing all this from fastboot, aka the phone itself.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
alright so i did that stuff, now when i boot the phone hangs at the rogers logo, what should i try.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
did make a nandorid back up in the recovery menu a little while ago, how an i use it to go back? or is there another option to do something?

I can still boot into the recovery menu and camera+ power menu
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
Can you get into recovery? First boots take a long time as well, how long has it been hung up? But it sounds like you don't have a ROM on the device currently.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
I can get into recovery, It was hung for like 4-5 minutes before i reset it. I dont think i did the fastboot stuf right, I pressed send inorder to fastboot, it said fastboot and i started typing the stuff on the link (you cannot see anything i was just typing) i then rebooted to recovery and Alt+s applyed the update (cynogen).

it is hung at the rogers screen. Can you try and translate the link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=544654

a bit better and i can try the fast boot part again?

In the guide it says press back arrow to get inot fast boot but on my screen there is only one option for fastboot and it is the send button.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
I tryed to use the update.zip file again but this time it said that it could not mount and that the directory does not exist.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
It sounds like you did do the fastboot right, actually, since if you didn't it would boot up fully...

I would try this, dl this rom and put it on the root of your sd card, then boot into recovery mode and select "flash any .zip update" or whatever the exact wording is, then select the file named "dwang-v1.15" and follow the onscreen prompts. It is also probably a good idea to get your phone on a charger sometime soon, wouldn't be surprised if the battery is getting close to dead since when in fast boot and recovery and during boot up itself battery drain is pretty quick.

I truly think you did the fastboot stuff right, since when done you should have the SPL and radio, recovery, but no ROM and need to boot into recovery and flash the new ROM.

Forgot to give the link to the ROM, it is dwang's, my personal favorite and a good starting point to work from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=567023
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
the option is apply update.zip so i should probably change the file name to that. Ill give it a go.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
its still hanging on the rogers icon, weird. Perhaps i should use the nandoid backup? if you agree that that is the best option how would i do that?

another note, when i tryed to flash the rom you gave me it did not let me, game a an error about mounting and cannot find a file, I then put the recovery images back onto the sd card and the operation worked this time, it was unpackin na extracting and everything. Now it is still hung.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
I would probably just nandroid at this point, yes
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
can ou guide me on how to do that?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
Hmmmmmmm, do this for me as well, boot into boot loader (camera+power) and tell me what it says on the screen.

Can i update my recovery to the new one 1.4 pimped put recovery i think then use, the restore feature? is it posible to update recovery under my circumstances?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
Yeah, you should be good to go based on your boot screen info... You might want to try 2 things:

1) Update to the newest RA recovery (I would follow the "via console" install, this console is an option in recovery mode): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=566669

2) After doing that, re-flash the radio then the danger SPL using their update zip files:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=517593

Then, after flashing the SPL, and without turning off the phone, remove your SD card, put that dwang ROM zip file on it, and flash it. This should take care of it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
so

Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img to the root of your sdcard

Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)

select console from the menu

$su (not required if you have root already)

#mount -a

#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img

so i do the bolded part? do i have root at this point?

also when typing do i type exactly what it says, when the line ends do i press enter to start the next line of text.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
one more question, should i delete come of the stuf from my sd card, i have,

-nadoroid folder

-flashrec

-radio image

-recovery image

-recover-backup image

-tmp folder

and now recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
so i went into console, started typing the stuff in the box, (nothing is showing up on the screen as i type, i have now finished typing and my dream is sitting there in console. What do i press now?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
sorry for the delay, when you first boot up console, just hit enter, if it does nothing, then type in the "$su...." line. I am not sure if you have root or not, since some of the things you did should have given it to you, and the fact you have a cusom recovery and what not is a sign you do...

And yes, you hit enter at the end of each line.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
ok, am i supposed to see what i type? When i enter console i open the keyboard and hit the enter arrow, nothing happens, i type the $su, nothing happens, i hit enter still nothing.

Can you exlain what i am supposed to see when i enter console? thanks alot.

if it matters my current recovery is cyanogenmod v1.2 + JF

Alsp, I take it that i would use the "R" version of the RA recovery right?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
also, ive already flashed the spl so i cannot go back and downgrade the radio, it says so in the third post of the link you gave me.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
ok so apparently there was a licencing issue as well as compatibility issues for the 32B phones.I need to install the kernal among other stuff, i will be following this guide

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod

Now, because i already have the new spl i will be skipping that part, also i cannot boot into the phone so i cannot install the new recovery, i will be using the older (1.2 i think) recovery.

I need help with one thing. Because i have the old recovery i do not have the option to update using "any .zip file" i only can choose to update using "update.zip" I think the work around would be to name the file i want to update from what ever it is to "update.zip" then flash and remove/rename it and then rename the next file to update.zip and use it. Can someone confirm that this would work? I will be tackling this tomorrow morning most likely.

I feel so "down" right now:(

also, if I could get help to make my console in recovery work so that i can update my recovery be fore I do the above steps, that would be perfect.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
Yes, that is the correct work around for using an older recovery to flash multiple items at one time... just make sure it is done before you remove the SD card, and don't turn the phone off in between flashes.

Rogers dreams are a bit foreign to me all in all... I know they take a different route to get to the point that us "regular" dream owners do, but from what I have read and seen it shouldn't be something that is impossible to achieve. Don't feel down, first time through with any of this stuff can be a bit overwhleming, especially when it reqiures you to do it the "different" way.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
what do you mean by multiple files at one time? I was going to power down remvoe sd card, plug into computer, change names, sd card back into phone flash next file, how would i flash at once? now that i have fastboot on my computer couldnt i update the recovery using fastboot?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
What I mean is that typically when you are flashing multiple files, ie radio, then SPL, then a ROM, you don't want to power the phone down since it is a major brick risk. You want to just flash, pull the SD card, add the next file, and so forth, never turning off the phone.

And yeah, you should be able to flash the recovery via fast boot.

You can also try and track down the stock Roger's Dream .nbh file, flash that and just start over from 100% scratch... I did a quick search and couldn't find it, but will take another look as it will be the safest route to go.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=545525&page=2

According to this, you can flash the RC29 file, follow that root process, then go from there. Just like that first link I provided you... to get 3G back up and running was a mixed bag... some said you had to update to the Roger's radio(which you have the fun guide to!) others said it was just a matter of entering in the right APN info.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
I wont be using 3g so it wouldnt matter too much if it doesnt work, why do i need to get to rc29, how can i tell what i am at right now? Do you know the numbers of the radio?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
Thats what that thread was about, someone accidently flashed to RC29 and it worked on their Roger's dream just fine, they just didn't have 3G....

The big thing about RC29 is that 99% of the root guides are written based off using RC29 can be hacked and rooted much more simply.

You can also go back to the 100% stock roger's stuff, get it from the roger's website, and start all over with the knowledge you now have.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
At this point isnt all i need to do is install the htc system image via fastboot?, then install cyanogen and kernal?

with this i have one problem, getting my android phone recognized by my computer

If it matters i am running windows 7. I Dont know where to get the driver, i found one driver file but cannot install it. Do you know where i can get the proper driver and install it?

In that thread someone said that if i go rc29 (g1) then the rogers is not compatible anymore and will brick it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
another question, when in console am i supposed to see what i type?

Nevermind, all i need now is help on where and how to get the andorid usb drivers on my windows 7, this way i can use fastboot to get the 1.4 recovery on my phone, then i can install the system.img then cyanogen without removing sd card!

Thanks alot man, without you I would have NO progress. I really do appreciate the help you have given me. I am pretty sure all i need to ask for is the usb driver stuff!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
So, i think that i nwo have a working usb, i had to do few steps but ive got it, now all i need is to learn how to ues fastboot with command prompt

When i start it says:

C:\Users\Ammen>

what do put next, if it matters my fastboot and other required file is on my desktop.

I really have no idea what to do next because i have never used command prompt before

Alright, i have opened fastboot in Command prompt.

I do not know how to get it to show devices

It should be fastboot, and if it isn't showing up then it does not see it. Did you install the drivers, and if so did you get the correct ones
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:

I would say that would be a great thread for the mod themselves to maintain, but it would need to be someone who really hangs out in the Hero threads.

HI

I am currently looking at Hd2 vs Nokia N900. Tough choice for me and the battery situation on the Hd2 has me worried. Anyway, on googling the battery situation and how to get the most out of it I found a page that said the HTC sense takes alot of the bettery drain but installing SPD Shell is far better.

Anyway - just installed it on my HTC Wizard and quite impressed.

I was wondering if anyone else uses it over the HTC sense and if so, does it indeed improve battery life?

Thanks

I was very tempted to go back to ms 3.5.2, but after a week with leo's manila I gotta say, that in my opinion it looks better and what more it is quite well designed. battery life is nothing special indeed comparing to my previous device x1. xperia could survive up to 3 days of normal use, while on hd2 I only get about 24 hours. it is not too bad, and I can live with charging it every day though.

I was also torn between those two devices (hd2 and n900) but hd2 is soooo damn sweet, that I couldn't resist. ;) I do not regret it. see... I'm not a linux guy nor h4x0r, so more likely I wouldn't get that n900 feeling anyway, if You know what I mean. with winmo I just feel like I came back home... :D

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
If you don't want to go the app route, you can simply back up this folder before you wipe:

/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony

and then after you flash a new ROM or whatever, you can restore it. Make sure when you copy it back, you overwrite the files. I've used that method many times and it always works. Most ppl will say that you only need to back up the mmssms.db file located in

com.android.providers.telephony/databases

but I back up the whole folder and restore it. I don't really have a reason, but its always worked for me.

Additionally, I use SMSBackup by Chris Studer from the market to backup my texts to a folder in my Gmail. It won't back them up back to the phone, but its a great way to always have a backup and doesn't make it a huge deal if I wipe without backing up.
