So after reading the recent root on the DroidX via boing boing I decided to poke it and see if it could help us on the Android1.5 dream.
Not just can it help us, but it works out of box.
For Upgrade Instructions goto:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Rooting_HTC_Branded_EBI1_Dreams
Simplified process (full process is on the wiki link above):
Install DroidX hack
run it
enter root shell
unlock recovery
flash recovery
flash dangerspl [This is very safe on EBI1 devices, its the EBI0 users that get into trouble]
erase rogers rom via fastboot [I always get an unstable install of custom roms if I skip this]
install rom of choice.
Remember to thank the people over at Droid X and All Droid (as I said I just ran it.. they did the hard work)
Edit: its all based on http://c-skills.blogspot.com/2010/07/android-trickery.html
This is a rather scary attack as it applies not only to the Rogers Dream but many other android devices (including the custom mod you are likely about to install)
Edit 8/13/2010: an exploid patch for cm5.0.8 is now available; Also patched in CM6-rc3
On this note if you where one of those bugging me to do some dangerous JTAG operation on your working phone... the answer is officially no, root it yourself.
Again the full detailed installation instructions can be found at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Rooting_HTC_Branded_EBI1_Dreams
Nice! This is going to make a lot of people happy

bravo good sir bravo
TODAY IS THE BEST DAY EVER!
Root 4 my phone!
And Got a Job with HP today!
Got my ticket and am Going to eclipsefestival.com tomorrow!
Thanks to everyone at Droid X and All Droid you guys are the best!
Woo Hoo!
omg, the impossible just became possible!
HOLD ON, so this means they got past the bootloader (easily instructions too) lockdown by moto. Am I correct in assuming this will open up the moto milestone rooting scene in Canada and other places the milestone is?

I think it will give you root if you are an android device... if not a poke the code a bit to match whatever is slightly moved on your phone.. this is a bit of a scary exploit now that I'm looking at it closer.

root does not = custom roms. It means that you get superuser.apk and su access. They're still working on the bootloader.

Ok, of course my phone is fine, I was thinking for a friend.
Fortunately HTC doesnt pull that off
Wow. Good job as always, man! Keep up the good work. This is front page material.
has anyone here tryed it?
This is a God-send. The Droid-X people may have done all the work, but you're the one who brought it to us Rogers Dream owners.
Quite a few friends will love this! (I refused to do the update or sign the waiver, I was lucky and got a refresh before they stopped giving them out)
It worked for me, although the only rom that's successfully booted is CM5. I've tried a handful of others and they all hang at the rogers screen, any idea why?
DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA21000)
RADIO-3.22.26.17

Unless you change your radio to a 2.x version, you require EBI1 roms. EBI0 roms won't work.

Tell us the rom and someone can see if there is an ebi1 port (sometimes called 32a port) or create one if the dev blessed us with access to their kernel source (or who's binary kernel is in use and we find the original source)
Otherwise lookup fastbooting an ebi0 radio on your rogers dream (if your carrier is rogers also look up the wavier forum)
If you are confused stick with the ebi1 cm5.0.8 until you are sure how you want to proceed. You may however want the text patch in my sig.

that whole waiver thing seems unnessicary i never signed one and never lost data nor did i apply the update. i just ignored it and rogers ignored me, but i recently cancelled my data plan i wonder if they would allow me back on one :/
but either way for ebi1 kernal bcrook is the man to see http://twitter.com/bcrook88
personally i switched and never looked back
It is working excellent so far!!!
SPL 1.33.2005, Amon Ra 1.7.0
update: CM 5 is working great too. I haven't tried the nightly builds yet, but with the big thing in 2.2 being JIT, and hearing that it'd be stupid on the Dream, 2.1 is great for now!
If anybody needs a step by step, I wrote one up:
Post 911 to CM 5.0.8
@lbcoder and exterry, Yeah I had a feeling it might be the radio, but this is the first time I've touched my dream in seven months so I've forgot a lot and wasn't completely sure haha. Thanks for your quick replies though, I'll probably just downgrade my radio then. Is there any advantage to the new radio? Or was it made just so rogers could keep track of who did and didn't do the 911 update?
Just successfully got a oem replacement dream that had the e911 fix applied at the factory rooted with this. Huzzah!
EDIT: Now, while this is great for our needs, it should most likely be patched _immediately_. I get the feeling that it could be utilized to create all sorts of malicious applications.
Thanks I was about to JTAG
Works great!!!!

Would be interesting to collect information on the phones given out today at Google I/O (each attendee got one for free, a pretty nice surprise!).
Here's the phone info. Would be helpful if anyone familiar with phones from other sources can comment on how this compares and anything these builds and versions might mean?
Model: Google Ion
Firmware Version: 1.5
Baseband Version: 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
Kernel Version: 2.6.27-00392-g8312baf
[email protected] #72
Build Number: CRB28
We've been told this phone is SIM unlocked, and has a bootloader which will allow flashing customized images (not yet confirmed - just got it a few hours ago ).
any screen shot of the phone at work?
Yeah, the kernel dude from the Android Dev team definitely confirmed that this phone has either the Engineering bootloader or the HardSPL because it is "capable of flashing any image".
Here's a screenshot of the phone's HUGE internal memory increase:

I also have a video of the team talking about how they feel about root at the Android Fireside Chat. Coming soon.
there is
http://androidcommunity.com/google-io-2009-htc-android-phone-unboxing-video-and-pics-20090527/
some pics and unboxing video
do you notice anything different on the os in compare to cupcake 1.5?or is just the ufficial cupcake?
In the video I'm uploading to Vimeo right now, the kernel chief (Brian, I think), talks about how he goes on xda-developers a lot. Haha.
I got my hands on an Ion phone too.
The fireside chats were great. The devs actually said they encouraging hacking and want the OEMs to ship a bootloader that allows easy flashing. Several of the guys said they visit XDA too.
Taylor likes dudes
Are the entering to the I/O conference cost any money?
I want free Google Ion too But I'm too far from Google IO conference
Here's the video of the Android Devs talking about root..
http://vimeo.com/4878214
The internal memory (flash) seems kind of low. The htc website says it has 512mbs of flash. So 295 megs available to the user doesn't seem that much. 217 is being used by the system?
Were you able to figure out how much RAM the HTC Magic has?
Supposedly it has 288 megs of RAM vs 192 megs on the G1.
The samsung i7500 supposedly has only 128 megs.
I'm considering either the magic or i7500 when it becomes available in the US, and the amount of RAM it has could be the deciding factor. The amount of built-in flash doesn't matter to me since any type of flash issues is solved by apps to sd.
Thanks,
Dave

From the Google I/O FAQ
How much does it cost to attend the event?
Early Bird registration fees are $300 through May 1st, 2009. Attendees who register after May 1st will be charged $400. The academia (for students, professors, faculty & staff) registration fee is $50.

Just so you all know:
I successfully have gotten root on the Ion. Brian from the dev team did confirm it has the engineering bootloader, so I went ahead and flashed Haykuro's "RootMe Rom", which unfortunately converts it to an HTC Magic model number, and I had to enter T-Mobile APN settings for the first time since the phone is unlocked. (Before, it would automatically configure all that). In fact, I could not get through Google account setup without selecting "skip".
Anyways, so I'm all set, if anyone has questions hit me up on gtalk [email protected] and I'll see if I can help you.
In other news, anyone going to be able to post the original Google Ion ROM so Haykuro can maybe modify and root it for us?

Disconnect helped set this up: http://andblogs.net/2009/05/ion-update-available/
this is a vanilla version of the rom. nothing special there. (should work on everyones sapphire / magic device atm)
Anyone installed this yet?
Assume you install the full package first, and then the update? Any instructions on how to do this?
it'd be nice to know the procedure to flash that ion rom into our magics, so then we can plot differences and tests...
i've read that requires test-keys , so a recovery.img original vodafone wont work?!?
Well, I'v installed by renaming the full image download to update.zip, wipe then apply. However, had to do this twice and now don't have the nandroid backup option. Assume I can't just reapply a previous nadroid backup?
Confused!

phone was rooted and applied the new spl.
put on 6.0, did not like so reverted to my nandroid backup.
now put on ion rom and lost the nandroid option (backup) etc.
can someone explain or point to a newbies guide of defintions, e.g. root, recovery image, spl etc. etc.

As usual I replaced wlan.ko and included Rogers AudioPara4.csv (thanks bcrook).

LOCKSCREEN Wallpapers
To change lockscreen wallpaper, first download and unzip the file somewhere then cd to it and use this command:
Code:
adb push wallpaper_file_name_here.jpg /system/etc/lockscreen/port/htc_wallpaper_01_lockscreen.jpg
Note that we are replacing a file so the destination filename must always be htc_wallpaper_01_lockscreen.jpg
If you want to use your own lockscreen wallpaper, then use an image editing software (like GIMP) to resize the image to 455x320 pixels. Then push it using the command shown above.

I installed JacXHero 1.2 before but I can not install this ROM,
I wiped my data before install new ROM but my device did not boot after apply update.zip
Do you have a 32A device? Is it MT3G? Sorry I have an HTC Magic 32A device and cannot test MT3G devices.
p.s. Notification LED on twitter is working for me, but not when charging or missed call etc. But still that's sth right?
H and E icons working?
Are Hsdpa/Edge icons present in this rom? Previous one only shows G/3G in I remember.
I think not, though I can't really test because I don't have HSDPA in my area. But its just an icon! If you know where it is located then you can push it via adb I suppose...
what is the difference between this jacheroski and jacheroski 2.7.4r2.. is that just someone elses additions to jachero1.2
i installed this on my mytouch and everything seems to work fine, except for bluetooth and for some reason the home screen takes for ever to load.... any one know why this happens? or what's the BEST hero rom for a 32A mytouch?

Try Drizzy's no name Hero v3 (ported by bcrook). Here you are!!
That's the best hero rom for me atm. I bet most optimization in this rom is done in the kernel which we can't use if HTC doesn't release the source...
I just found one that all works for me (32A)
I'm in love for my hero
Search myhero-08 and you'll get it

1.4 Up Already
1.4 is up here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534479
Yes I will port tomorrow (currently not at my linux box). JAC says this has fully working LEDs Yay!!
@lesjow: I will find the solution. Its just some jpgs needed to be pushed from other roms
i see the original firmwares are getting all these new kernel and kernel mods.
Are we missing out on anything since ports are done by replacing the kernel with rogers version?
Wipe/flash wont boot
i recovery boot, wipe the handset, flash this rom, reboot
and IT HANGS AT THE MAGIC SCREEN
THATS IT.

Please include that lockscreen in your next port...btw, i believe its not just some jpegs, the curve box seem integrated with the lockscreen app, coz if your change wallpaper of lockscreen, the curve box (with carrie and date in it) will still exist...

Yes i think there are some files that control the lock/unlock images of the lockscreen but not the wallpaper.
I decided to make a ROM to fit my needs.
So I took eugene373, Manup456 and JACs eclair ROM files for the base and added some fixes + removed some stuff..
The rom is now pretty stable and fast, but stilll a experimental build because some drivers are missing in Eclair!
I think the battery power should be good to very good, so you can give it a try if you want something new on your android phone..
Credits:
eugene373, Manup456, JAC for the base rom, NCommander for his work on the camera and all other devs I forgot on XDA-Devs.
What you get:
-New decent colorfull icons and smileys
-Some improvements on the theme
-Camera by NCommander
-CC turned Off
-Nexus bootanimation
-Carhome fixed by Manup456
-Default google calender (sync is working!)
-Wireless and wired tether (removeable)
-Facebook (removeable)
-MySpace (removeable)
-Accu Weather Widget (removeable)
Before installing:
-You need Death or Danger SPL 1.33.2005 (for G1) or any Eng SPL above
(if you have problems try Death SPL first - here is a HowTo by Joe333x)
-Latest Radio required for G1
-You need 3 Partitions ( Fat32 / Ext 2 or 3 or 4 / Swap )
I recommend Ext 2 because of the flash memory
-Fully wipe Data and Cache / wipe Dalvik-cache / wipe SD:ext
(you can do this with Amon_RA Latest Recovery)

SPL
Do we have to have one of the two SPL's that you mentioned for My Touch 3G ?
Thanks PaY87 for this Rom, I been wanting to create a simple rom and this looks like it should be just fine .
Can I ask you for a favor? Can you contact me and help me figure out how to do this as well. I been having such a hard time attempting this myself. That is if you have the time and you do not mind.
All in All great work and thanks again!

My Touch is ready to go with its default stuff
Just flash Amon_RA Latest Recovery to your phone.
If you get problems try 1.33.2005 or higher Eng SPL.
Also I attached you the original Vodafone SPL from the magic.
Its 1.33.2004 SHIP S-ON G, but I never had any problems with it so far..
I changed between a lot of SPLs and it was the "best" for my Vodafone branded Magic
Will provide mirrors in the next days, I am on the mobile web out of the city and the upload is very slow atm.
Maybe someone is able to load it somewhere else up?

I did w/ my sisters rom in 10 min root/flash from Cupcake/1.5 that is, but i'm no noob had the g1 a week before it came out..so if you don't know how to, then yeah, you usually don't need to and shouldn't especially if you don't know how to look up a radio and spl versions in fastboot mode. you flash the wrong spl/radio combo then..hello paperweight. I just did it for the tiny extra room just encase the 2.1 roms get big and if they put sense on the mytouch v2 w/ 32a boards that are coming out and if somebody ports it to the 32b boards i can give it to her and see if she likes sense/rosie. but you do in some rare cases have things to gain...and if you can't turn it on...neither can the warranty ppl (horrible but true) or can they read the bad spl from the chips? would they? but all this does void your warranty so i wouldn't risk sending it in and have to pay the full price for it..just get a new "DROID!" not moto tho..unless it's the motoroi! weeee, i talk to much...long winded i am
Will your xROM theme work on your ROM ?
International Google Maps nav ?
Flashed your rom and I have to say Impressed first rom to get past the setup screen in less time then it takes to actually load from dead start. I like how there is very little added and what is can be removed. Thanks So far pushing its limits and very pleased with the speed.
I get a kind of a boot loop with this ROM. It goes past the bootanimation, but when I touch the Android, it freezes, then goes back to the bootanimation.

There is a few ways out there from manual to auto. If you are wanting temp root you will need to look at zergrush. Which the link I don't have right off. If you want perm-root you can use either of the following tools.
My One Click Perm-Root & Busybox Installer tool/script (Sorry no linux help at the moment. Windows only) Confirmed on many devices also:
http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2485
Frigid's HTC Super Tool v2 (I can't confirm it works, how ever looks like it does. Followed by some nice options):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343114
How to unlock your Evo Design 4g or Hero S:
This isn't really a guide as htc has a good one. How ever I am going to add to it. You need to go to the following link http://htcdev.com/ , Once there click the unlock bootloader. You will be asked for you login info, if you don't have a account you need to make one. As you are starting through the instructions you will see you need to install adb to continue. How ever you can down my script, cd the tools directory, which will have adb. Drivers are also in the thread for my perm-root tool. Then all you need to do is get the fastboot from the sdk 13 linked in htc's guide. Followed by put it into the tools directory of my script. That or do it the way htc has you do it. Either will be fine and get the job done.
Now this may not happen to you but did for me. Where after pulling the token the phone froze. I had to do a battery pull, reboot to h-boot and select fastboot again. Where I was able to continue pushing the unlock file.
Kernel's for Evo Design 4g or Hero S:
Don't know any or if source was released yet. If not start bugging htc for source code....

Then one more for good measure....
I've been sending HTC an email every two days asking for source since getting the Design. I don't expect to see any movement before the end of the year, but it'd be helpful to get some more squeaky wheels out there.
Any tips or suggestions when writing such an email?

Even though I hate to say it but you aren't going to get anywhere e-mailing them. It takes a person 2 secs to copy and paste 1 of 3 generic e-mails. You are better off calling and asking about the kernel source. As even a short call will last 5 mins, which means more out of htc's pocket.
Was the only way the htc merge source got released
Is it safe to just ask for the design kernel or do we need to ask for the hero kernel also? Anything else we should ask while on the phone, or just keep it on 1 request?

Politely request access to the kernel source for the HTC Evo Design 4g per the terms of the General Public License version 2, under which the source in question has been published.
The official way to contact HTC is here: http://www.htc.com/us/about/contact-by-email
HTC is infamous for dragging their feet on source requests, but has shown that they can be pressured into doing so more quickly if folks make some noise. You can also try by phone, which may yield faster results.
EDIT: Asking for the Hero S source would be fine, too. Although I think both devices are covered by a single kernel config (Kingdom)
Would have to agree completely. How ever the hero s/design 4g should be the same kernel source. Though curious what is your guys kernel version?

According to that I am guessing that would be the design. Where everything is the same cept the letters after 10-. Where the hero is running a newer kernel by a month.
one click root v1.1 got me to root. bootloader still says locked and i haven't messed with a recovery yet. just letting yal know root is just one click away.
Since we still don't have an official thread for the hero S or the EVO design don't forget to vote whoever hasn't. Here is the link.

The stock Hero S image above does appear to work. Rename to PH44img.zip. Copy to the root of your SD. Boot into the bootloader and allow it to install.
Can someone post the stock:
software number
PRI Version
Kernel version
baseband version
build number
Just want to verify what I have after flashing the posted stock image compared to a truly stock device.
Thank you

After weeks of emails to HTC, I have received their boilerplate "within 90-120 days" response along with an invitation for further comment. Now on to the next step...
---
I am very sorry to hear this, as I expected a different answer. Is HTC aware that it is violating GPLv2 with this policy, and leaving itself open to enforcement action by the Free Software Foundation?
Please refer to Section 4.1.2 of the compliance guide, which states that source must be made available at the time that a device is shipped with an offer of source. Below, I have provided a URL as well as cited the relevant portion for review.
It would be regrettable for me to have to refer this matter to the FSF for enforcement action. Hopefully further review will clarify where HTC is incorrect in its source distribution policy, and corrections can be made to avoid non-compliance issues.
Regards
---
http://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources/2008/compliance-guide.html
Finally, it is unacceptable to use option (b) merely because you do not have Corresponding Source ready. We find that some companies chose this option because writing an offer is easy, but producing a source distribution as an afterthought to a hasty development process is difficult. The offer for source does not exist as a stop-gap solution for companies rushing to market with an out-of-compliance product. If you ship an offer for source with your product but cannot actually deliver immediately on that offer when your customers receive it, you should expect an enforcement action.

As HTC CHACHA user, We have long stopped relying on HTC to support HTC CHACHA.
Let's get started. Let's compile a new kernel for HTC ChaCha!
Here are my thoughts :
Because I'm not sure which version of linuxkernel is a good start. so let's assume 3.x.xx is the new version.
And the difference between the two versions(chacha-gb-crc-2.6.35-1643b58 & linux-3.x.xx.tar.gz) is too large,
It may require us to apply the changes manually.

AM I Correct?
I've been taken this boring part (diff chacha-gb-crc-2.6.35-1643b58.tar.gz linux-2.6.35.10.tar.gz),
AND I have already completed. Boring Boring Boring. AND I have checked it again again again.
So you can trust.There are no mistakes. EOL.
https://github.com/Luzifer1984/diff_chacha_kernel
You will find out more information about ChaCha in "kconfig"
Following is the key to transplant:
1.Circumspection: Attitude determines success
2.Skill: Linux Kernel
3.A modicum of luck: Right now we have no more hardware information about HTC ChaCha.
Step1.Transplant Linux kernel
Step2.Integrate and Modify
TOOL
1.Windows： WinMerge OR BeyondCompare
2.Linux： Meld OR BeyondCompare
Potential problems, and possible solutions:
Let's take HTC CHACHA for example.
Differences between linux-3.x.xx.tar.gz and chacha-gb-crc-2.6.35-1643b58.zip caused problems.
when the differences are big to complete files, that seem daunting and maybe even impossible. don't panic when you see that. You must be particularly careful
AND
The following principles should be respected as far as possible：
1. It would be even better if you could copy the hardware-related source code from old version to new version
2. About hardware-related source code, if old version and new version had changed same file (same file name) with different content. then we base the old version.
Because old ones did work. Old hardware-related source code got CHACHA working well.
3. source code unrelated as hardware, We should use the new one. as possible. (kernel's update)
4. if the file is difficult for you to conceive how to deal with , u should MARK and skip it.
Let's get simple tasks done first. And complete some tasks that you are absolutely sure what will happen.
Then come back to deal with the previously skipped files. This part may require us to diff other sources to get the right way.
4.1 reference sources from other devices, like LG Optimus Me P350 /ZTE Blade/ HTC Wildfire S (MSM7227 Armv6 Adreno200)
4.2 kernel.org updated kernel which caused the difference . we should find the difference between linux-3.x.xx.tar.gz & linux-2.6.35.10.tar.gz(diff)
About trade secrets and patents involved, I think there is no way to avoid. So let's forget it!
Please think about this idea and let us know what you think.
Does anybody know what i meant? Sorry for my poor English. Maybe you could convey my word meaning and revise this post.
@Adumont You are a good developer. good at English ang Git. expert in android.
Could you lead us to take it further? I like chacha so much.

You might want to change @ adumont part to @adlx.xda
name tool used to "cut" room??
I also want to study more about the room
tkss
I can't be of much help, but check out the Atrix 4G kernel port project. It's goal is identical to this and they made tremendous progress. Obviously it will be different for the ChaCha, but the steps that need to be done will be similar.
Consider contacting the developers behind it.
i can do what ever help i can, but remember i am a newbee with full passion to improve chacha !

You know, all of our problem with chacha-gb-crc-2.6.35 is camera driver... I have worked on chacha-gb-crc-2.6.35 before, but I got no satisfactory result of it. even i used some of other HTC phone's KERNELs, but i exactly got no result. we should just wait till HTC want to do something about this forgotten:crying: phone.

HTC won't do anything.
Also I'm pretty sure that the OP got CM10.1 with fully working camera.

But with this kerenls, we can't make a stable ROM. Htc just talk about android 4.0. I hope that htc will release 4.1 or 4.2 and maybe 4.3 for chacha...

Yes, we can make a stable ROM.
No, they will not release any updates for the chacha.

Sorry if I'm reviving an old thread.
I downloaded the three files found on your folder and as I have understood, linux-2.6.35.10.tar.gz + diff.patch = chacha-gb-crc-2.6.35-1643b58.tar.gz, isn't it??

Are experienced with ROM development and with Chacha?
I'm interested to make a new ROM for it but I'm totally new, if you would like that we work together please let me know.
Also regarding the small internal memory for Chacha, how do you overcome it? Link2SD isn't a solution.
Forum Dead?
Has there been any progress made on the kernel builds at all? There are far less phones with a qwerty keyboard that can even run a custom ROM nowdays. Obviously HTC is not supporting the phone anymore anyway, so I think it is about time we had at least a functioning kernel!

Not to be pessimisstic but I guess 4.2.2 is as far as we can get as a stable ROM ajeeval has been working on kit kat according to a post I read but it's way more complicated to achieve a stable version.
