How many Dev HTC Magics are there in the wild?

Myself and jbelman seem to have the Dev (rooted) firmware based phones that look like they shouldn't escaped Vodafone and been purchased by the public.
I'm curious as to how many of you have the Dev firmware Build number CRA71C like jbelman and myself and how many have the "standard" version Build number CRB17? The more dev phones we find, the better chance we have in doing the customisation that the majority of HTC owners enjoy (lots of clever people on XDA-Developers...).
In case you are wondering how to do this, here it is:
Press the Menu button
Settings
Scroll down to the bottom "About Phone"
Look at the bottom of the screen starting with Model Number and post the info please.
Cheers
Dave

do expect more exploitation on the MAGIC~!

I'm just a CRB17..

I think he knows that.... read the post

I didn't before I saw the link so no worries. Exciting isn't it! Roll on proper HTC ROMs! I had looked on the thread earlier but they were still struggling uploading the img. Confused me for a while as it's in the G1 room so never thought of checking. Glad I did now. It feels like your older brother/sister telling you the ways of the world!

Hi all... i have the CRA71C one...

HTC Hero Root Issues

I have the Ukranian version of the HTC Hero, which doesn't come with the marketplace. I need to get root access in order to get a workaround - but my phone will not let me do any of the steps that I have found. Here are the OS information that the phone has
Firmware - 1.5
Build - 2.73.495.24 146733 CL#67791 release-keys
I guess what I need to know is what do I need to do to get Marketplace on this phone, without serious hacking of the firmware. Is there a flashing application out there that is simple to use? Is there actually a working way to Root the phone?

The .zip file should have something like "GRI40-from-GRH78" if you have GRH78 right now. Same applies for any other GRxx from GRxx transfer. Check whatever version you have right now, then download the right .zip for you.

[Q] D Age DA-988 Tablet

Is there anybody out there that has any knowledge on this tablet? The back of it Says D.Age, the model i have seen listed as DA-988 and DA988. Searches on line seem to point to Double Power Tech (DOPO?) as the main company that make them. I am looking to get any information I can on backing up the firmware that is on this tablet, and seeing if there is any custome roms anywhere arount for it. I believe it has a boxchip A13 1.2 processor in it. If there is a way to get more information, please let me know, and I will post what is needed. I do have this info from the about screen:
Model Number DA988
Android Version 4.0..4
Baseband version 1.5
Kernel Version 3.0.8
Build Number 98v2-P1-H1-H01-2833.20121103
Any thoughts or help would be great
Thanks everyone.

[Q] root for dummies - Samsung Galaxy S GT-19000

Hi, I have scoured the web for information but several hours later I am none the wiser.
I would like to root my device in order to optimize its performance. I am super confused about: cf-root, mobile/pc odin, android version, etc. I still have no idea what is appropriate for my device. :crying: Please point me in the right direction.
I have found may threads out there with very detailed instructions, but I can't figure out if that's what I need. I'm apparently on Gingerbread, but what do I need now? The Icecream, the other one?
Reason for rooting: phone too slow with so many apps loading themselves in the background. I want to be able to prevent all these [expletive deleted] apps from loading themselves automatically. I also want to remove the stock apps I don't need (but can't now remove). I'm tired of factory resetting every other week to improve performance.
Ultimate purpose: phone, sms, whatsapp, news. That's it. I don't need 3d porn or anything. :angel: My needs are extremely minimal.
Thanks for any pointers! :good:

I have a friend who has the same phone model and is running JB 4.2.2 on a CM10.1 ROM and it is smooth.

Thanks Sewrizer. I'd rather brick the phone than pay for the service. I already have a more recent phone, so this is more of a second device. It's just that I like the typing better so I haven't completely stopped using it. I guess I'm sort of relishing the idea of an experiment with it as well.
Do you have a link to instructions for the above? If it works for your friend, it's good enough for me.
Unless I hear something back, I'm getting ready to try this:

thanks a lot.

which cf-root?
Thanks Sewrizer. As it happens these are the instructions I started with, and from which a lot of confusion arose (I can't post urls yet).
The first link is to Odin3 v1.85, but I have found Odin3 v1.87. Not sure if there is a later version. It says somewhere that the latest version is best.
The second link is to a series of posts with many download links. Somewhere down the page it states that if you're confused, then:
First, go to Settings -> About phone -> Build number. It should say something like FROYO.xxJPy. It's primarily the JPy that we are interested in. Try to match that with a download link available in this (and the next few) posts. Some of the downloads dont just have JPy file name format, but are called xx_xxx_JPy.
Let me explain that. Samsung isn't always very precise in naming/marking their different (leaked) firmwares. CF-Root's are modified kernels, the filenames explain in more detail which exact firmware ROM the base kernel was taken from, for those experts who understand.
If you are not one of those people, go back to the JPy thing. The "y" in JPy is 0-9, A-Z. If they run out of numbers, they use letters. So A would be 10 (9 + 1), while Z would be 35 (9 + 26). Find the one that is closest to yours, if yours is not present, and flash that one.

Well, my build number is of the form GINGERBREAD.zsjv6, which doesn't fit the pattern described (I don't see any JPy, I see jv6), so which version of CF-Root should I download?
GT-19000. Firmware Version: 2.3.3. Baseband Version: I9000ZSJV6. Kernel Version:2.6.35.7. Build number: GINGERBREAD.zsjv6

How to root your S3
Hi, I used one available in droid lessons, but i'm not allowed to post links yet. Just look in google for droid lessons and then " How to Root the Samsung Galaxy S3 " It was really easy, and worked great for me.

downgrade
Sewrizer said:
Looks like that tutorial was only good for stock froyo users. Since you have gingerbread you must have updated your phone. I think you may have to downgrade from 2.3 to 2.2.

yes you're right I did upgrade at the Samsung store. I'll follow up your link now, but it's starting to sound awfully complicated :silly:
Thanks Sewrizer :silly::highfive:
