hey i have a google ion that i would like to put on the hero rom. i heard that you can get the full hero rom and just put it on your sd card and run it. i heard that you don't even need to have your phone rooted or unlocked or anything.
does anyone know where i can get this link? thanx...
Your phone is unlocked but you definitely needs your phone to be rooted.
ok
Ya I know ion is unlocked already, so do I have to run spl? Will the fatal1ty rom work on the ion? Cuz they're both Google branded rite? Yes I'm a noob to android. I was using windows mobile for so long before this, it seems to be a little different.
no all you need to do is flash the modified recovery image to the phone and use fatal1ty's great hero rom update.zip and flash. you will be up and running then.
so i use the Amon_RA modded recovery? then select fatal1ty's rom from the sd card and it's done? sorry bout all the questions, but i really would rather not brick my phone! thanx for your help
Yes that's all you need to do.
cool, thanx again
Dvice19, could you tell me what Radio you have on your Google ION phone? To check, simply hold down back and power to boot the phone from powered-off status.
My Google ION currently states:
Sapphire PVT 32b ENG S-oFF H
hboot-1.33.2005 (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26i

I have applied a number of SPL, ROM and Radio changes. The radio in particular concerns me as I think I may have flashed the G1 version instead. If so this might explain why I'm having issues with Gmail not auto-synching.
yes tommy here you go:

Well at least my radio is fine.
I wonder if it's the SPL that is causing me the grief? I have loaded Haykuro's Engineering SPL HBOOT-1.33.2005 signed update which I just noticed was for PVT-32A boards.
But the Google ION is a 32B board.
Could this explain why 3G is choppy and I no longer receive Gmail auto-synch, I wonder? Currently I have to force it on wireless network to get my emails. Yet strangely enough web browse and apps use internet 3g fine. Anybody have any thoughts on this?
And if I apply Engineering SPL HBOOT-1.33.2004 signed update does that mean I can no longer loadup the Hero ROMs?
More questions than answers
Your engineering SPL will let you flash any modded ROM (for 32B board). I didn't change my Ion SPL and I have flashed many different ROM's (Rogers, Hero, and modded Ion).
Wow. WOW. I flashed the Engineering SPL HBOOT-1.33.2004 and straight away my Gmail synchs. I email from my Yahoo, bam Gmail on ION finds it.
A huge warning then to those with Google ION phones: Do NOT flash haykuro's latest SPL on to your phone!*
Instead use your provided SPL or flash 32B-only SPLs like 2004. Here's what my phone now states:
Sapphire PVT 32B ENG S-OFF G

Of course let's try every key we can, but don't you think the carrier would have restricted it to their signing key only?
Possibly another method that requires UID system that we could do on a terminal app?
Code:

echo '--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip' >> /cache/recovery/command
dumb question. Since everything on the mytouch is basically the same as the G1 (with the exception of the ROM), could we fool the NBH that was released for the G1 into thinking it's a myTouch Rom and use it to downgrade, gain root, then upgrade? I'll fully admit that it seems a little far fetched, but figured I'd ask.

no because then the nbh would fail the sig check
The Honorable Mr. Haykuro様 suggested that it should be possible to take an officially released signed-by-HTC NBH containing a hackable SPL, copy it to SD card using a card reader, and booting the phone while holding down the volume-down key. This should flash the SPL with one that allows fastboot.

no news update on this thread yet :-( i'm ready to write off this phone. practically nothing without the google suites of app and market app.
Ready to Donate $50 to the guy who roots. Otherwise the phone is useless. Help Please!!!
me too in the waiting ...
After purchasing htc magic in india, I too figured out that its SPL is the unfortunate one : HBOOT-1.33.0010 (SAPP10000) : Sapphire PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H : CPLD-12.
Though some options are available to install applications from:
1. http://slideme.org/applications
2. http://andappstore.com/AndroidApplications/apps/!index
3. http://www.openmarket.co.za/
But above are in no way comparable to Google apps,Market place.
Eagerly waiting for this SPL to be cracked .
count me in. ready to donate to anyone who could help bring life to this phone. btw, i will never buy an htc until i've visited xda-developers.
Please.... CALLING ALL MT3G,magics,Sapphire Users..
I've done so much reading, from so many sources, confusion and sickness
is starting to make me wizzy...
I've currently been rooted for over 4 months now... first with cyanogen
then moved over to SUPER D... And iv been following that ROM since v1.2
now currently on his newest ROM v1.8...
let me first start off by saying when i was with cyanogen
i remember running MARKS THEME[32A] on a [PVT32B]
this was before i downgraded my SPL to 1.33.2005
(BUT KEEP IN MIND)- I never downgraded my SPL until i moved over to SUPER D ROM

First, that S-OFF H and you running a G recovery is just a miracle. I never got it to work. Your recovery should match that S-OFF H meaning you need to get Recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H not G. And I doubt you're going to change that H in your bootloader.
Second, (god I hate explaining this) you don't need death SPL. Especially for SuperD or Cyanogen, or for any other ROM for that matter. Only Dreams(G1) do.

In which I am running the RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G Recovery (Because well I assumed since my mt3g is Google branded it should be G)
Should I put the H recovery on? Would putting the H recovery on have any chance of bricking since my phone is supposed to be G?
My advice to you is, whichever one boots, you flash
fastboot boot nameoftherecovery.img
If it boots, flash it. Flashing recovery images is very safe, so don't sweat it.
Don't ask in a dev forum next time
Thanks for the quick reply.
G recovery has been working fine so I'll stay with it, unless theres any gains to be made by using the H.

I see that HBOOT-1.33.0004 (SAPP10000) : Sapphire PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G : CPLD-10 (Voldafone NL + UK + Australia)
but i have H not a G and is from Vodafone UK with Google branding on the back
I know its got PVT 32B but was not sure which one because of the letters
RAv1.0H : Use this image if your Magic is HTC branded (PVT 32A board)
RAv1.0G : Use this image if your Magic is Google branded (PVT 32B board)
so i know i have a H so i fastboot the RAv1.0H (Locks on Vodafone logo)
so i now know that even though i got a H i fastboot with RAv1.0G and works fine
working great now and thanks, just letting people know

I was wondering if anybody has had any problems running SuperD with the original SPL? Because I can't find any downloadable file for the original .0006 version, and don't want to void my warranty. I was thinking about installing SuperD 1.9.2, but it also sys it requires the .0005 Danger spl. Any thoughts?

I have the EXACT same readout as you, and I am able to flash EVERY ROM there is, the 0006 SPL is fine, dont change it
i think ENG (engineering) S-OFF (SECURITY OFF) is what they mean, you have an engineering spl.If you want to return to unrooted magic you need to flash an original sappimg.NBH which you can find all over these forums

rooting your phone is voiding the warranty;
thats why they have Guides to unroot incase anything goes wrong
so you will be able to return it without them knowing anything about voiding ur warranty...
as far as flashing or not flashing your spl... i cant help you out there.
but from my experience in reading and what im currently running.
flashing the spl makes it possible to flash anyrom, etc.
i never flashed super d rom until i flashed my spl. so i wouldnt know if it works without it.
i have been running super d since 1.0xx or 1.2 fersure.
now if u do flash ur spl which in my expreience if running super d is a defiant yes. you make sure you fllash the correct one!...
if your running a mt3g and need further assistance on getting correct downloads, ill point you in the right direction..
Thanks for the support. I've already found out that my .0006 is already an ENG spl, and I do not need to flash it to load custom ROMs. I have already tried SuperD, Fastest, Kingklick's, Cyanogen, MLIGN, and Enomther's ROMs. All work. After testing all these ROMs from Android 1.5 to 1.6 to 2.1, I am still looking for the perfect ROM.
I want something that is fast and stable as 1.6 ROMs, which have 1.) all the functionality as stock, 2.)has the Hero htc widgets, dialer, and facebook sync. If anyone know where I can find this PLEASE let me know. I keep running into pros and cons with each ROM, and just need to stick with something already.
your looking for a stable rom..
so whatever rom you choose make sure iits a stable rom...
and as far as pros/cons
just take note that with every ROM theres ganna be NEW RELEASES.
out of every rom, i suggest super d rom.
never any forcloses.., never any issues..
now i havent ran cyanogen for alongtime, never since i switchd to super d.
but i recommend him as 2nd choice in roms. but recommend him 1st in knowing what he knows.. he's the only dev. that i know and have seen thats ahead of the game, and knows the game. hands down.
im honestly awaiting a 2.1 STABLE release with no errors.
but thats still far from being developed...

So, i'm confused about What I will use, and after that, What ROM can I chose? H/G? 32A/32B?

What is the device? A HTC Magic, T-Mobile MyTouch 3G (v1), T-Mobile MyTouch 3G Limited Edition, or MT3G v1.2 (headphone jack).
Can't really give you any direction without knowing what the brand/model of the phone is, just o make sure we're not giving you advice that would automatically brick your phone.
For example on my fender there's only one real way to root it, which requires installing an engineering SPL, which turns it into a 32B/H, but then once you flash the correct radio/hboot/recovery onto it, it reverts back to being a 32A/G.

Assuming you haven't already accidentally flashed the wrong SPL on it, you should be able to flash a 32B Engineering SPL (2005) in order to fix the perfected ROM, and grab the RAmon-Recovery 1.62H. But its a Magic 32B which is pretty common (despite H or G), though haven't seen a 3.xx radio on a 32B though...
Probably wait to see if someone follows up on the thread.

Based on the new information provided, look for a thread specifically dedicated to the DVT boards. The only thing I can really find in google about DVT is that its seen on G1 boards, and that most standard instructions would brick it.

It's the link in my signature, notice how "Rooted" is a hyperlink?
In short:
1) Make a goldcard
2) flash the engineering 2010 SPL
3) flash the stock radio/hboot and 1.6.2G recovery provided in the thread
4) boot into Recovery, flash the rooted stock rom from the provided zip
At the current moment only the stock 1.6 rom works, there are no fully working custom roms yet until either T-Mobile releases an OTA update for 2.1, or until HTC releases the kernel source.
Thanks you are awesome!
I am fairly new to this forum and generally to rooting my phone though I was waiting patiently for a solution to the Rogers branded Dream. I have searched this forum and others & haven't found the answer so I apologize in advance if this is repetitive. My Rogers Dream is now unlocked & rooted & on Telus network:
DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF Firmware version 2.1 update 1
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA21000) Baseband version 62.50SC.20.17H_2.22.23.03
CPLD-4 Kernel version 2.6.34-cyanogenmod
RADIO-2.22.23.02 Build number EPE54B
Recovery Image ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1
Is it safe for me at flash radio-3.22.26.17_dream.img to my phone and if so will it improve the performance of the phone? I'm also having a problem with wifi not reconnecting automatically in fact I'm often forced to reboot my router as well as the phone to get reconnection. Would a change in the radio improve the reconnection issue?
