So since I am "new" to this site, I can't post questions in ROM threads...
But maybe someone here can help?

I have been trying to install this ROM, a port of the Dinc S for the Evo and Dinc. And every time I try to install it via recovery, I get an error pertaining to "line 98" and the message mentions "busybox".
Any ideas?
SOLVED
For those of you having the same problem, download ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961221
Appearantly, I can only assume, that ROM I was using before only works for the EVO, kinda explains "EVO" at the end of the ROM name... But hey, it was advertised to work with the Inc, but it doesn't matter, I got it!
And I'm gonna put in a good word for developer incubus26jc as this ROM is all I hoped it would be and more.

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.
so im a noob in the wm world im self taught a little bit. so im hoping someone out there can help a noob out and let me bounce ideas off you and ask technical questions. im getting ready to flash my first rom so prayers are welcome. anyway let me know if your willing to be asked tons of learning questions.
Good luck!
As long as you follow the instructions all should be fine

Your going to have to be more specific. I found the download page but there are 2 versions for that specific rom. The difference is in the version of sense installed. One has sense 2.1, the other has 2.5. The page is here. I would suggest you look at the change log & support threads listed underneath the links for each rom in order to decide which is the one you wanted. They are both graphically (and probably functionally) different from each other but they are both windows 6.5. Hope this helps. Oh and by the way, welcome to XDA. Questions are always welcome here.
Hi all.
I'm interesting in beginning to make some mods to my G2X.
I've seen some people posting that there is a very unique way to successfully get CWM (ROM MANAGER) on the phone.
I came from a Samsung Vibrant. On the Vibrant, I simply Downloaded ROM Manager from the market, and that worked like a charm.
I've downloaded ROM manager from the market on my G2x. There have been 2 or 3 updates to the app since I downloaded it.
With the version of ROM Manager that I have, am I okay to begin flashing zips, or will I mess my phone up?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Start by deleting this post. Then search. Then, if still confused, repost in the right section. This is just going to get flamed.

1st, welcome to the G2x.
2nd, this should have been posted in Q&A to keep the Dev Section clean.
3rd, though RM has a version of CWM for the G2x, it is best to flash recovery through NVFlash.
You can get all you need from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
Wrong forum buddy, there is a G2x Q&A where someone will answer your question, this forum is only for development of the G2x, not for questions.
Flame on.
Wrong forum. Should be in questions.
To answer your question... yea that works but you should nvflash Clockworkmod first.
Nvflash will stick and enables power+down to get into recovery while booting.
Simply using rom manager WILL work but doesn't enable power+volume down on boot up. So if you use rom manager and something screws up and you bootloop... it'll be harder to fix.
Lesson: nvflash once... then use rom manager as normal. Best of both worlds.
G2x CM7.1 style - Android 2.3.4
Thanks everyone for your help.
Sorry about posting in the wrong spot... I'll make my way to Q&A.
Id like to be the first to say sorry for some rude people. Nvflash is how we get down in the g2x forums.
Its not hard either
this will get you going if you havent figured out yet.

There's a thread on how to dump your current phone in the dev forums - it's 2-3 pages down, was a hot item 3 weeks ago when Rogers released the Infuse.
but honestly - there are existing dumps of both Froyo variants (look at the Ultimate Unbrick) threads and of the Rogers Gingerbread release
What is the best full functioning custom Rom for desire s? I currently have cm7.2, but it's got problems with the Wi-Fi, it's good, but it's boring I would like an Android 4 based rom like cm10.1, but yet again that has bugs, I looked into the pac man rom looks great wanted it, but download was corrupted couldn't find another file for the desire s
Please help me find a good rom that's as great as stock but better and stable. Would like a jellybean look.

Hi, old quote from a mod.....
"Best" ROM/kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself.
This is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.
ps: pacman link is there, search..
Sorry for butting in, as @jmcclue said there are links in the PAC thread (mirrors) to the ROM. The link in the first post is corrupted (well, just not working when trying to flash). I think on page 180 or so of the thread there are alternate links that work.
Just as I downloaded that one and it worked fine. Even (fingers crossed) the random reboot problem I was getting initially has stopped!
I've moved from this, to CM10.2, to Carbon, back to this. It's such an amazing sturdy ROM (battery life). Ok, I've yet to tinker with the performance issues (slight lag...but doesn't impede progress or detract from it overall).
I suppose as an aside I tried the CM11 nightlies and was getting the Status 7 when trying to install. But I'm guessing that's just a recovery issue (I hope). Found a 'cheat' video where you can edit a file in the rom to bypass recovery checks...but not advisable.
Going to continue to use PAC and wait patiently for an update.
Thank you, I have been looking around I did eventually find the link earlier today for the pacRom file that works, I did't think that there was another download link until I went to the end of the thread, the very end and people had posted saying it was corrupted and people were referring to use a link previously posted, now I know that people have put links in threads I will look harder and think better. I have the rom now, yet to flash it though, hope it works out fine. I hate being new to things this is the first forum I signed up too, still getting used to the rules I will eventually get the hang of it been told off for posting to many threads searching more now. Well thanks again.

No harm done. Another little tip for ya, if u want a rom, and the op download links r down then at the top of the page ul see a box "search this thread" type mirror and then press search, usually (if there is a mirror) ul find easy.
