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 I am trying to root my HTC Evo it say its the older version can some one please tell me how to root my phone. I have been trying to find out myself but I have had no luck. Can u plz help!! what do I have to do !!
Not to sound like a complete ****, but you must not be trying very hard. Check out the HTC Supersonic (Evo) section. Go to the Android Development subforum, and there are at least 4 or 5 methods to root older Evos. At least one should be within the first three pages.
yea man, please spend some time reading the evo forums, like at least a few hours.
The easiest way to root, since you obviously dont know much about it, is to to the Unrevoked method. Read about it here, then go to unrevoked.com.
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 everyone, Ive been on the site for a few years now and have had android phones since the the Dream came out. Ive switched between a few phones and serveral different roms but always stuck with android.
I purchased a new G2X recently and rooted it with superoneclick.
Using clockwork I flashed the new Eaglesblood 4.0 Ice cream sandwich.
I was under the impression that superoneclick could not unroot ICS 4.0
and foolishly I tried anyway and after superoneclick told me the unroot failed,
I checked for superuser and in rom manager and my phone was no longer rooted....
I have tried and tried and have had no luck finding any information or even anybody who knows anything about ICS let alone rooting it.
Any help would put me in a much better place than I am now..
My phone is basically frozen in time never to see build 2...
Thanks for any help in advance

I AM A NOOB!!! Now that the confession has been made, I have a HTC Amaze with a newly installed Bullet Proof Reloaded ROM. I would like the venom tweaks but the link does not seem to work. I tried posting the link but since I am a NOOB and can't be trusted I was not permitted. It is in the Amaze development Bullet Proof Reloaded last several posts dated 7 april 2013.
Is this link working for others? Also, even though I've rooted two phones and have installed several ROMS and such I am not familiar with changing the ro.product.version. Any instructions?
Thanks in advance.
