I've been using various Cyanogen and Hero ROMs since June and have now reverted back to the stock Vodafone UK ROM. In general the stock stuff is fine, it's quick and bluetooth audio works for phone and media. I need root access though to use Bluex for bluetooth file send/receive and pushing the HTC_IME keyboard
What I'd like to know is does anyone know how to root the new Donut release?
I've tried the Haykuro's rootmesigned but get a FC and constant reboot...it was worth a try
there is already a full solution for you.

I used it on mine and works perfectly, no flaws. Install that and you are done.
yeah there is a way. but im not going to answer because this is in the wrong section. read the stickies up top, search around, then post in the right section and maybe you will get more answers.

Aw gee thanks...NOT
If you don't have anything contructive to add then don't.
I spent hours searching and read through countless threads. For your info I have been installing ROMS since they came out in May (before the Wiki was in place), have contributed and would you believe it I have even been thanked for my help, I am comfortable with using ADB, Fastboot etc, am familiar with linux and have read the stickies.
Is asking about a rooted ROM not developement? Have YOU read the stickies because from what I have read, surprise surprise, in this section there is a sticky up above here about hacking and rooting. As far as I'm aware any developement focused questions would be posted in the developement section not general.
If I'm wrong them I'm quite happy to follow the MODS rules and their directions.
Are you going to repeat your post with questions about OTA updates being in the wrong section too?
P.S. the very helpful 'htcmagic' had already spoiled it for you
@BigRD: no problem mate, glad i could help. I installed the rom above and i am extremely happy with it. I have also installed busybox on it too.
Its much faster that vodafones original.
Hey mate, try Amon_Ra's Donut Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538645
Very fast and stable with Root and others. I'm using it on my vodafone magic. Works really nice.
Or alternatively just go back to Cyanogen. Its Donut and it has more features than any other rom on this site so...its all up to you
@widezu69 & @htcmagic Cool, thanks guys.
I spent a lot of time with Cyanogen's ROMs up until the Google thing happened and was running eViL's Hero ROMs up to v3.0. I wanted to get back to a smoothish stock ROM issued by my network supplier but rooted by one of the great developers on XDA. I keep finding that other than the Vodafone original and the Google ION ROM bluetooth audio for phone and multi media working at the same time is very hit or miss. Am going to give both versions posted here a try over the next few days
Another one who wants a Rooted Vodafone Donut
I am also searching for a method to root a stock Vodafone Magic 32B that has had an OTA Donut update.
The answers on the thread so far involve flashing a new Donut Rom - my issue is that I have Donut already, and have never rooted - I am assuming the Root instructions included in the Wiki and Relentless Rooter are only aimed at Cupcake.....or am I wrong?
Any help/advice appreciated....
rooting the magic 1.6
Hi folks, dito as above. I've been up half the night trying to work this out. Have recently bought an htc magic from vodafone, and been 'updated' to doughnut 1.6. Not bad, but I'm really keen to get root on this, and eventually install the latest rom from cyanogen...
Seems there are now a few issues for people like me wanting to root their handsets... so far I've managed to erase my user settings, but keep getting errors trying to flash a rom. Followed the link above to nk02's thread, and no luck. Same issue, update aborts. There must be an easier way...
nk02 says his ROM works with 'wipe + flash'. How the heck do I do that? Seems this latest update to 1.6 has made all the other methods of gaining root obsolete... I'm far from a linux novice, and would love some advice here. And please don't tell me to keep searching, solid help would be appreciated. Cheers.
Okay so obviously there is a lot of hype about the new CM7 update and about how many downloads it had and it gained my interest and I now want CM7 on my phone. So how do I find CM7 for my Inspire? I can't seem to find it anywhere...anyones help would definitely be appreciated.

I don't know how you couldn't find it, a Google search for CM rom inspire xda brought me to the above thread.
Thread closed
So obviously I'm a noob to this site and the Androids. I recently purchased an HTC Inspire and left it stock for almost a month while I read on "rooting" them. I have since tried 3 different ROMs, CoreDroid, GB Sense 3.0, and Absolution 1.5. I stuck with Absolution because this is the kind of ROM that makes voiding warranties worth it. I just wanted to give THANKS to the Collective Team here since I am unable to post anything in the Dev area at this time.
HTC Inspire
Absolution 1.5
Kernal 2.6.35.14 LorDmodUE
+ 1 for Absolution
The reason you can't post in the Development section is because of too many inappropriate posts by noobs. If you took the time to read the stickys, the forum mods setup threads for each ROM in the Questions and Answers section. There is a thread for the Absolute ROM. That is the place you should be posting this and not starting a new thread.
Hey guys,
I installed this ROM last week and the only problem I noticed is that the camera force closes when I try to record video. Does anyone know if build 15 fixes this problem? I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to all of this ROM-stuff and I did not want to jeopardize my current installation and install the new build only to find out that it doesn't help fix this problem.
Or if anyone has a workaround, I would appreciate any help.
Thanks!
You may have better luck asking in the corresponding ROM's thread.

Yeah, that was the first thing I tried, but I have less than 10 posts and it won't let me.
1. this is general...not q&a where questions belong
2. there is a sticky in said q&a section for that rom, and you don't need 10 posts to post there.
I am on the Gingerbread KJ6 rom from Samsung. Looking to breathe new life in my old sgs 4g. Which rom/kernel is most compatible and stable right now?
Also can someone recommend a recovery too.
Thnx!
Moved Sir please read the Forum Rules on posting in the correct sections. Thank You and Merry Christmas.
I usually go for the most read, replied and maintained ROMs threads.
