Hello pipl,
I'm new in house,and 1st, I have to say...a great forum!Now,I need some help,I'm looking forward,to flash WM6 on my Xda and hope,to find something closely looking to he tytnII ROM or something like the Touch.With or without touchflow function,I already tried the TF aplication with WM5 and it works great...a program is offered,to get the full TF experience.
Please,help me,link me...PS:It's going to be my firs ROM flash...
Tnx,
bye.
:*(
Yo hah if you think this is a great forum, why didn't you bother to read ANYTHING on it hah.. sorry, but thats hilarious.
Too many new folks on XDA these days, kinda saddening to be honest. Despite the usual folks saying "read read read" in almost every thread, it appears that a good 99% of new peeps don't bother to read ANYTHING at all before posting. Not even the stickies..
read about CID unlocking, i'm sure you'll need it.
moral is why even waste the bandwidth asking, when its all there in front of you to research. Give it a shot
I've raead some posts,saying that not,is not true.I just asked for help,cause your pipl are "gurus"!
Sorry for asking!
Ok i wanna root my g1 BAD. I want to be able to move the cache and install the development version of cupcake. but 1 BIIIIIG problem. I DO NOT have a data plan. I have read and it seems that when you root it factory resets your g1 which that means your sim card must have the data plan on it.
Is their any possible way for me to root in my circumstance?
Thanks
If you install the adp1.1 version, you can skip the login, enable wifi, then login through that.
ok umm im a mega newb to rooting and stuff lol. so can you or someone provide a COMPLETE step by step tutorial on what to do from block one? and to make sure I dont root it wrong and so i'll be able to login with wifi?
thanks lol

Sam, this forum is full of tutorials -- all you have to do is find the right one and read through it, THEN ask questions. There's a pretty steep learning curve involved, and few people have the time to hold your hand all the way, especially if you don't invest the minimal effort.
best,
the step by step is written in the sticky on how to root your g1. why would someone re write it for you? silly. go do some learning, then think about rooting your g1.
Sticky: Rooting, Hacking, and Flashing your G1/Dream
says it right in the title.
While it is possible to do what you want as far as I can see it's a considerable amount of hassle, and for it's functionality the g1 without a dataplan is like a computer minus the psu, even with wifi... so you may want to reconsider.... but as I said it can be done! Firstly what firmware do you have, are you uk or us based? The us phone let's you install a modified version of rc29 whichs you can easily bypass the registration screen (jesusfreke) has left a very helpful no dataplan sticky). The uk version has additional steps to simply roll back and install mod rc29, as it can only roll back to an earlier uk model, be rooted and then get a us image.
Give us a little more information, and don't worry I was there only a month ago, now I've installed fastboot, jf1.4, run my apps off sdcard and have replaced that stupid g1 tmobile screen. There really is a learning curve but you'll get there
well i am on US rc30 atm.
well no dataplan is fine for me really. but the memory is KILLING me. id LOVE LOVE to have root.
There have been multiple step by steps written Sam...
Like another poster stated, if your not willing to even read the introductory material on rooting your phone, it's unlikely someone will want to even help you initially.
That said, there are both numerous tutorials on how to root your phone, and how to activate the phone without a data plan so just search the forum/read the stickies for them and start on the first step yourself rather then waiting around.
Meeker
That said, the Dataplan is not necessarily a killer, but definately a cool benefit if your willing to pay the associated costs =) But personally for me, I'm a cheap bastard...

Judging from the three or four other threads he started here saying "Ack! Help!!" and the threads saying the same over on the AC, I'd say his plan to "root my g1 BAD[ly]" has succeeded.
Soo should we start waiting for the
Ack! Help! I've Br1cked my g1 BADly
Posts soon?
Sorry couldn't help myself....
Over on the AC he posted that he's thinking about "installing cupcake".
IT BURNS!!!!

You know, I lurked around and didn't want to post for a long time because I know I'm totally inept at this and I know I'm an outside/intruder here. I only posted my own question to a problem when I was unable to find a solution via search/google and puzzle the rest out myself. I wish others would do that as well to preserve the usefulness of the boards (because they are incredibly helpful!). And ultimately I hope the next person to run into my same error can find my thread via search & fix it themselves.
Sorry for being off topic, but the thread will probably be locked down anyway.

I know, I totally got baited on this one... but I think the inherent frustration for the bulk of us who got baited on this one was the fact that if you looked at the top 5 stickies on the forum.... the answers where right there... it's only the fact that the original poster never wanted to read them....
No more replies? Lets let this one die the way it deserves to?
samrozzi: You should really start using the search, but pretty much all of the information you need is in stickys. But here you go
Start with rooting your device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
--------
When ever you need to have to log in to the google accounts use this:
"to enable and configure wifi, so that the registration process can connect to the google servers. In an adb shell session, type the following command:
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings
This doesn't have to have root access to work. It works fine with the "shell" user that adb on non-modded phones runs as.
That command will bring up the settings page on your phone. From there, you can enable wifi and connect to your wifi network, and then proceed with registration as per normal "

In the end use JF RC30, or ADP V1.41

As the link from the original/first post are V1.31 and i tried them earlier and the links do not work.
Hope that helps.
First let me ask all of you to put down your guns: I know the response these posts usually generate. I'm just looking for a couple quick recommendations because I just don't have the time to search through all the posts right now. I'm trying to get a quick stable ROM on my wifes' Titan, and I haven't looked into Titan ROMs in so long I'm lost right now (spending my free time on the HD forums).
I'm looking for a lite version with a stable browser on it. I'd like TouchFlo (I know, NOT lite!), but I won't sacrifice stability for it. Also, either 6.1 or 6.5 if the Titan is running 6.5 acceptably.
The Titan is unlocked and I have Dutty's ROM on it(not sure what version, flashed 6-12 mths ago), but Opera has never worked very well, and IE won't work at all.
Also if you could recommend a radio, I'm in the US on AT&T. I did read some of the radio post and I'm pretty sure I'll need help there.
Thank you
I'm sure like the rest of us you can read threads flash ROMs and Radio's and find what suits you.............
"The response you will get will be the same as asking BEST-ROM"
Hint most popular ROMs are in the first pages
Thank you.
Yes I can read it, but I know how much time it takes to really understand what these ROMS do, and how they work with a radio. There's no way I could duplicate your knowlege of this device in a day or two, which is why I put the request out there. Heck, after reading the radio thread, I'm suspecting that is what may be wrong with the device now, but I just don't have the time to take her phone from her and try to re-create the wheel. I've done all that with my HD, and I think the Titan is more difficult because of the age of the hardware and increased variables.
You know, where would we be without the opportunity to learn from those who have gone before? Wait, don't answer that......

eH..................................this is the Kaiser forum, I am sure there are a lot of people over at the TiTan forums that will be happy to chastize you for being lazy and inapproriate in starting a new thread with a question like this.
I am busy and don't have the time, is not an adequate response for disobeying forum posting rules
KAISER! My device is a Kaiser and I'm typing Titan! My apologies. Go ahead, shoot.
I'm not going to flame, but (even if you get answers) it's just opinions. I always tell people - it's like coming on here and asking which is the best flavor of ice cream. No right answer and no wrong answer.
You're going to have to choose between Windows 6.1 and 6.5. 6.5 is pre-release, so more in the developmental stages (although there are great ROMs out there). I'd go with a 6.1 unless your wife is a tinkerer.
FWIW - I use PDACorner Ultimate V3, but only because I haven't found the time to upgrade to V4, which only came out yesterday. He has a Lite version, but his ROMs run so well - I personally don't mess with the Lite (even though I use Mobile Shell 3) versions. They run as fast as just about anything out there and they are well constructed. I've used literally hundreds of ROMs and I've stuck with his for the past 10 versions or so (used HyperDragon before that). As for radio...you have to figure out what works best in your area with your carrier.
Again - my opinion. You could easily get two dozen different ones and none would be "wrong". Just make sure you know what you're doing before you flash any ROM. Read the wiki and all the instructions.
Thanks for the suggestion. Even though my thread here doesn't show it, I've been working with these devices for quite a while, so I know the ins & outs. That's the main reason I asked the question, I know how much research I would need to put into this phone, and I just can't for a device that has about a 4 month life until I upgrade it. BTW, I am in your area with your carrier, so I would like to know what radio you're using. It gives me a place to start.
My suggestion
I'm going to make it easy for you, buddy. Just look at my signature.
Those are my recommended ROM & Radios.
HardSPL 3.29, 3.31, 3.34 are also recommended.

you have been a memeber here long enough to know that you aren't supposed to be starting threads like this in the rom development forum. you even knew what kind of answers you would get and that should have been the first thing that told you not to make this thread. and if you don't have time to search and read then you prob need not be flashing roms because that will leave you not current on the certian bugs and all that may cause you problems down the road.
but to help out flash them all because i've not gotten a bad rom from anyone on here.

I finally got a mytouch 3G with the 32B board.
I am sure I am going to need alot of help on rooting the device, etc.
I am going to have some fun with this....
When creating a gold card, can it be used for another mytouch 3g?
How do I get the set of code from the terminal? Can this be done by a windows program?

lolol... Yeah, late night of a sick baby...so im in a helping... sort of mood. But you can only help some people so much before they want you to hold theirhand and do it all for them.
LOL.
Got some time last night I got a gold card created and even replace the perfect spl on the mytouch 3g
Details Below
Sapphire PVT 32B Ship S-ON H
HBoot 1.33.0009
Radio however is 3.22.20.17 (a surprised, I thought it should have been a 2 series. Can this radio be used and can it impact future flashing?)
Now, the next step will be to actually root the phones. I have encountered a few issues,
ie wrong ebi when using the linda file manager way to flash.
ie could not find file when using the fastboot way.....
I will read more, but I always welcome tips to make my life easier!
Thanks
LOL. still the old mytouch!

What do you mean by that ? hahha
the thing is I've been trying to root my magic for quite a while and it seems that goldcard is the only solution for me (just didn't happen yet cuz my micro sd is no good for that hahah)
so, my question is, are talking about a alternative to goldcard that I might've missed ?

LOL. I have to start somewhere. And the only way to learn is read, do and get advice from people in the know. I have been using HTC since the blue angel days and have build a few roms for my own use using someone else kitchen. And I also have brick a few phones in my days.
But I have no knowledge of linux or android phones, but I am willing to learn.
In Wimo, there seem to be a set ways of doing things. In Android, people are still discovering ways to do the same things........so this old way is still new to me....and it still seem to work
You're on the good path.
I highly recommend flashing back a 32B radio (that thing that you flashed via goldcard flashed a 32A radio (3. series, you need the 2. series)) and then you will be able to use all ROMs from the G1 section.
imo .. don't use goldcard unless it's the only option to use .. cuz it sometimes tricky and complicated and here you are. flashed the wrong radio
undo that asap and root using flashrec.apk if your stock rom is cupcake (which probably is)
then u can change ur spl and radio even later
LOL. It is all good now.
I got everything going and my last step it to find a 32B rom..any recommendations?
Do I change it to update and flash it?
oh yeah, go to the g1 development section and download the superD 1.10.3 rom. 10mb hack for speed, non 10mb hack for gaming. all instructions in the first few posts. its simple once you've flashed a rom before. im always learning here, but i barely post. good luck and enjoy!

I end up using stokes rom (android 2.1) for now
Definitely open to suggestion!
I also highly reccomend either CyanogenMod or SuperD. Both are fast and stable, and because of their popularity, if you do need help with either one, there are lots of people who can. Welcome to Android, sir. =)
Thanks to all your encouragement, support and suggestions, I flashed CyanogenMod and am loving it.
I also became and "expert" overnight (ROTFL) by helping 4 other friends root their phones. This time each phone takes less than about 30 minutes to do!!!
Not much point to this other than me just coming to a slow realization, I don't know why it took me this long but I've finally realized most of the problems I read about are caused by people NOT reading and the problems never really should have happened in the first place.
Perfect example is the new firmware, I've lost count of how many people have posted issues with it even though they aren't superCID and don't even know what that means. Or people not taking the time to research some key vocabulary words, like the difference between a radio and an ruu.
I just don't understand why somebody would spend the money to buy a relatively expensive phone like the sensation and then not take the time to research and read thoroughly before attempting something that could potentially brick their brand new toy??
Ahhh, forget it, maybe I'm just cranky...

While this is true, you also have to understand that some threads did not state that you need the latest firmware for the rom to work. I remember flashing a ics rom for the first time and the original thread did not sya I need ton upgrade my firmware

This is so true. Some of the instructions are missing steps that you need to complete before you even start. And this board is MASSIVE in size, so finding the right info for your device might sometimes be tricky.
its because people are too impatient
Now don't blame the threads "missing steps" or "not saying you need to upgrade." If you're going to flash your phone with experimental software, you need to know what you're doing.

I agree with this. Coz before I did flash my phone I really did intensive research reading everywhere in this section, finding tips though its true not all guide for noobs is really for noobs which you should have common sense on what you exactly need to do. Until recently a lot of guys (we should thank them) really dedicated their time doing the spoon fed procedures but unfortunately there seems still few people having the hardtime to flash FW, ROM Kernel and ended up bricking the phone.
Been that way for a long time, buddy. Never gonna change.
It would be nice if duplicate questions, cases of user error, etc. were deleted. But that would be way too much work.
I don't know who keeps on rating a 1 and tagging threads with useless tags just because he can but whoever you are, you should realize that this is a public forum. If the topic doesn't concern you, move along. I bet that this is the same guy that put a 1 rating on our Sensation on PH thread.
Get a life buddy. You have way too much free time on your hands.

I agree on 70% on what you said, but....
A COMPLETE noob will not be able to know what those "common sense steps" mean. Nor will he know which terms and which threads apply to his process of flashing, nor which information to look for. He will follow the instructions to the letter, get stuck and then get frustrated when people jump on him and tell him he should've known he had to do this and that before starting.
So, of course he will be confused and ask questions on this forum, EVEN IF the information is available in thread #898761, page 46, post #197.
But yes, I agree. Most of the instructions are solid and most of them tell you to go to a specific thread if you don't know what something means. But not all.
Whats the point of this thread? I don't mean to flame or ***** or troll, really. But it's like saying "If wealth in the world would be more evenly distributed, children in africa wouldn't die from famine" and then you'd have 10 others nodding and saying "yeah"
yeah I agree with OP totally, we all know that and we all were faced with retards who can't google up words like "adb push". Even a noob can fire up google and read what this means, just like I did.
But it's the way it is, and you're not the first to complain about it. Still won't change a damn thing because those ppl we're talking about are the ones least likely to read this thread.
I know you said yourself this thread is for venting, but had I opened a thread each time I face-palmed because of stupid ppl then... ah well you get my point
just my 0.5$

Yes the main thing is people should really learn to use the search bar at the top of every page. Its my best friend and has saved me when I got into a boot loop. Also if, for any reason whatsoever, you feel like your about to brick your phone by flashing a rom or a kernel or whatever, DONT DO IT. Plain and simple. DONT DO IT. You shouldn't be rooting if you don't hold the confidence to flash a kernel or rom and know your phone won't brick.
