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.
Hi guys,
Just a quick one about rooting my HTC Hero.
I was looking at following this guide http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-root-your-htc-hero-in-one-click/ but i am unsure if process 10 in the guide backs up my original ROM, if not what does it do and how can i backup and restore mine. Am i able to simply use the official ROM downloaded from the HTC website.
Many thanks
Chris
EDIT: I figured it out now guys
Hi all,
After spending a couple of hours searching through the forums I still can't figure out the exact steps to upgrade my phone's rom.
As I stated in the title I have an HTC Magik with Rom version 1.5 locked to operator and I want upgrade it to 1.6.
From some thread I could discover that my phone is a 32A.
From here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=565929 I read that I can apply this Rom and after I can patch it to make it run in a 32A phone. But still I don't know the exact steps to do this.
Can anyone, point me some clear threads where I can find information on how to do this or provide me the full information here, please?
Sorry if this is not the right place for this thread or if this was already asked a ton of times. I searched through the forum and also looked to the sticky threads and I couldn't find anything clear for a newbie.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Joao

Can you just show me the right direcion what guide should i use...i have missed the lead after reading about 20 pages.
Thanks a lot and i hope someone will be so kind and help me out.
hello mr. stefunel, i recently checked out your website romkitchen.org
. it is an appreciable work done by you. i downloaded the latest 2.3.4
gingerbread based JVR_Wipe.zip, version: v8 ROM, coupled with a stock
kernel and a jvr modem. i want to install it it on my galaxy s. But
after searching saveral resources over the internet, i didn't found
any way to do so. i got some old guides but i didn't found the new
one. as i am a beginner in doing these kind of things, i would
appreciate if you can provide a clean and complete guide of
installation. i would also like to suggest you, that it would be very
helpful to every user if you provide a section on installation guide,
on that particular website.
thank you.
