Hi There,
Since i'm curious about the G1 phone, I bought one. it's a dutch Tmobile locked with firmware 1.1
Question, can i unlock the thing and/or can i root/jailbreak the device??
I tried with some guides, found here, but until now no luck.
Cheers
If you had used the search you would have found out for yourself that the answer is that we have to wait, I actually have the same problem. There is an exploit that might be a way to get root access, see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482721, but for now we're stuck with what we have.
If you want more information then search for 123099 (the build number) on these forums or just on Google, there's a lot of information you can gather that way.
I did search, both on google and here. I'm not from yesterday
Since the g1 is my second device (main device is and will be the iP.... ;D)
But wanted to be sure about it.
Btw, thnx for you reply anyway!

Dear brother,
could you recommend me how to open CID unlock for dopod 818 pro?.
I had search at XDAwiki but there isn't have literature for G4 Type.
Do me a favor for this problem?
Thanks in advanced.
From all the information that I could gather here is that you can not CID unlock the G4 type of Prophet yet.
Yup, cannot CID unlock the G4 yet.
Although there is a website that offers a service to CID unlock the G4. Guess it's only a matter of time till it's possible for free too. But how long that takes noone knows
But yesterday,
i saw thread in pdamobiz forum that mention can be upgrade or downgrade dopod without unlock the CID..is it possible?
I am not the expert here, but u can upgrade with the NoVendorID.exe Tool without CID unlock? u cant? i was sure u can...
also i saw a thread one said u can use the aWizard Tool to unlock, but i am not sure he was right, he said he did, but dont know i can belive u can use an old Wizard Tool for a new Prophet...
hope it will help ..

Again, you can not CID (country ID) unlock the G4 with software as of now.
The other questions of yours have already been answered in other threads of this forum, please use search and consult them first. New threads only make it harder for new people searching for the right threads that already contain the correct answers.
Nonetheless you can update your G4 with new ROM versions the Novendor ID version is one of these ROMs.
But you seem to have hard times reading whats written on these forums anyways, so it would be better for your to stay off of ROM updating if you do not want to brick your phone.
You need to read a lot of stuff (including searching) to understand what you should do.
The people who offer self cooked ROMs have quite a lot of technical experience and understanding what they do and they do it for quite some time now. You ca not simply take stuff from all kind of places pull it in your ROM and happily flash it. There is some sort of brain usage required to do this
ok seems theres an official update from HTC for our rogers phones anyone try it yet http://www.htc.com/ca/SupportDownloadList.aspx?p_id=270&act=sd&cat=2
Ooooh, eeenteresting....
Code:
Why is updating the software on your device recommended?
The ROM software update posted below provides several key enhancements for your HTC Dream:
-Improves the overall device functionality and stability
-Enables correct SMS timestamp [B]<<<<<<<<<<!!!!![/B]
-Enables Chinese character display for POP3 HTML Emails
-Corrects E-mail client exchange Issues
yes can it be timestamp fix heaven? lol.. just wondering if this is going to work for rooted or non 32a magic.. or both
The update pages says "HTC Magic (Rogers)" but when I stick in my S/N it says: Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device. Bummer since my phone and box say HTC Rogers on them.

ditto :/
i just got the S/N from the box as I didnt want to remove the battery.
yeah i noticed it also.. comes up when you select Rogers Magic.. but if you noticed in the notes.. some of which also posted above.. it says enhance dream isssues... will try my s/n and let you know
you can get the files from the rogers support page.. i used this link to get there http://www.androidincanada.ca/news/update-rogers-htc-dreammagic-android-timestamp-problem/
I have the direct link here:
http://downloads.rogers.com/wireless/products/htc/magic/RUU_Sapphire_Rogers_WWE_2.17.631.2_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
Be careful as this update will more than likely install a Perfect SPL on your device. You will need to re-root your device after installing this. Could be a painful process.
I'm going to wait for somebody who knows what they're doing to remove the important bits from this update.
Cheers!
my thoughts exactly.. the way they have been putting the perfect spl on devices that didnt have it.... I tried it ( im running Jacheroski 2.7.4r2) and it didnt even recognize my phone. I was reading on the HTC site that you need HTC sync software first... thought that was for hero.. anyways.. have to run out for a bit will check back later... on a side note.. if this actually unroots your phone and puts the rogers apps back on .. couldnt someone tweak this up date and make it a restore rom?
I can confirm that it installs a 'Perfected SPL'.
Version 1.33.0010 to be exact.
Proceed with caution! I read through some posts on how to root these devices with 1.33.0010 and I really wouldn't want to have to do that.
I haven't installed the ROM image, and I won't.
After running the RUU (before you even click Next or accept the terms), you can find rom.zip in "%TEMP%\{F313B180-FF83-48A8-B925-E14312A5AFCB}\{50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}"
I'm sorry if this isn't being asked in the correct place but as this thread is already discussing the new ROM update I was hoping that someone here could please tell me whether or not this ROM update would SIM relock a SIM unlocked Rogers Magic phone?
I am asking because I should be recieving my new unlocked Rogers Magic (that I am going to be using on AT&T) any day now and while I wouldn't mind updating it with the new ROM I really don't want to go through the expense and hassle of having to SIM unlock it when part of the reason I bought the one I did on ebay is because it is already SIM unlocked. Thanks in advance for any information on this.

I really doubt it will. I don't know exactly how SIM unlocking works, but this update shouldn't touch those settings.
Why run the Rogers update with all of it's restrictions and crappy software? Download and install any one of the dozens of better ROMs available in this forum.
First let me admit that I am a total NOOB with Android and even the idea of flashing custom ROMs on cellphones (the phone I am upgrading from is an 8525 and had an 8125 before that and the only time I remember flashing either was updating the official ROM to 6.0 off of HTC's site). I guess this makes me a little behind the times but my idea of customizing was installing programs like Pockets Plus and then Mobile Shell 3 because I'm not a programmer and was a little intimidated about cooking the ROMS.
That said I was thinking of running the stock ROM atleast for a little while to get an idea of just what I like and don't like about it and then being more knowledgeable when I research what ROM I should upgrade to? Is there a list of the ROMs and what their customizations are for the Rogers version? Do you have any advise on what ROM's I should look at and what the differences are?
I'm afraid that I will be somewhat overwhelmed with the number of choices to be made. Besides, I use my phone on my job so I can't risk it having issues or having to reinstall everything on a regular basis so continually flashing it with new ROM's as they come out may not be a logical solution for me. I think I'd rather end up with something stable and able to use all the programs, etc that I need for work and play. Anyways, any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Your best bet would be to start off by running the ROM that it comes with. If you've got problems with timestamps in the ROM, use a program called ChompSMS.
Read this forum, look for information on the 32A HTC Magic. That's the version you are getting. Learn as much as you can without changing your phone at all. Once you've got enough information start by 'rooting' your phone, then play around with some custom ROMs.
Lots to learn around here. Make sure you use the search function.
The following link was made by skittleguy to try to combine all compatible roms for Rogers. There have been quite a few changes to most of these ROMS but you can go to each original thread and read up on different ROMs and their advantages and disadvantages. I believe most of the original threads are being updated from time to time, but you can always just do a search for the name of the ROM.

Personally if you want one that is stable and has all of its features working, I would go with Cyanogen's ROM v4.0.2 with Amon_RA'sv1.0.1 kernal. It is based of off MyTouch 3G. The link is below:

Having said that, there is one feature that I miss on this ROM, which is the smart dialpad.
T-mobile

Hello all, I have a Galaxy S that is unlocked, i have been trying to install Android 2.2 using the latest Kies software, but all i keep getting is the following.
Current Ver: 2.1 - Update, PDA:JF3 / Phone:JF3 / CSC:JE5 This version of the device cannot be updated.
My wife has the same phone on the Orange Network, this updated straight away with no problems, and works just fine.
I was wondering if it is the fact that if the phone is unlocked, and the update is not possible. We live in the UK. Any help would be greatfully received.
Thank You
I was hoping that this would be the Forum that would have least given a reply to my thread, but it seems not so. I notice that over 200 hundred people have looked at the question.
I live in hope than an answer will be forthcoming, even if somebody tells me to go away.
What kind of Galaxy S do you have?
You can do the registry hack for kies to change your product code and update to the generic rom, however I believe this hack has been patched for the most recent version of kies. I'll see if I can find a link to the hacking guide for you.

its sorry for you... the firmware which you have, has no update till now.. so wait for some time..
Thanks for your help anyway.
I start this thread because this question has bother me for a month, since i had the Titan.
We all know that next gen windows Phone will use the NAND Flash Memory. So the first thing i know, there is no Gold Card anymore.
I used to use the Gold Card Technique to install the EU Official Windows Mobile ROM for the Asia HD2, so i am kinda familar with it.
So now i have the HTC Titan from UK , and i am not really pleased with the British Accent on it. So i am looking for the answer if i can install the Official ROM of AT&T version for it, and most important thing: be able to receive the official update for it.
Since it is NAND Flash Memory, and bootloader will cancel the install from the start, i am looking for anyone who have the answer.
And there are many custom ROM out there, but my main concern will it be able to receive the update?
Thanks.
PS: my bad i mean Region, not "religion".
Moved to WP7 Q&A

Maybe no one here tried it yet. But if I were you, I wouldnt mess my ROM. About custom ROM, that depends. I remember one of DFT that was able to receive update. Dont know about the new ones, but if you do receive updates from MS, you certainly will not receive OEM updates, like HTC releasing the drivers for internet tether.
Hi I have scoured the net looking for the firmware for the unlocked version of the phone. Is anyone willing to upload theirs. If not, can I use T-mobile version firmware as a substitute?
Woops, please move this to questions.
Hi balmyplank I don't know if youre still monitoring this thread but I posted something a couple days go but still no luck. Hopefully it will show up someday on the net.
