BACK UP YOUR FILES
Before doing ANY mods you should ALWAYS backup your important files.
Connect phone to pc via USB
On the phone: pull down the notification bar & press ->USB Connected->Mount
On the pc: copy any & all files/folders you want to keep.
On the pc: Close the SD card folder on your pc.
On the phone: pull down the notification bar & press ->USB Connected->Un-mount/Turn off USB storage. Once this is done remove USB cable.
(NOTE: By the end of this guide EVERYTHING on your card will be GONE so don't skip this step!)
FORMAT SD CARD
From the home screen press Menu->Settings->SD card & phone storage->Un-mount SD card.
Once it is un-mounted press ->Format SD card.
Once it is formatted & has re-mounted go back to the home screen and press Menu->Settings->Applications->make sure 'Unknown sources' is checked.
(NOTE: if your phone is already ROOTED & running a Custom/Cooked ROM you can likely skip the SETUP section just check Amon_RA's thread for alternate install options)
SETUP
Find out what version of Android your phone has installed. From the home screen Press Menu->Settings->About phone-> scroll to Firmware Version.
(this is your Android Version)
If you're on Android 1.5 proceed to INSTALL section.
If you're on Android 1.6 re-connect phone to pc.
Copy the sappimg.nbh & place it on your SD card, then close everything & disconnect USB. (I am told this MUST be the only file on your SDcard or the validation will fail)
Turn off phone.
Boot into 'Fast Boot' like this: Press-&-Hold END/Power AND Pres-&-Hold Volume Down until the Fast Boot screen appears.
Press the trackball (action button) and wait for it to flash the sappimg.nbh
Once fully complete reboot phone & proceed to INSTALL section.
INSTALL
Connect phone to pc via USB
On the phone: pull down the notification bar & press ->USB Connected->Mount
On the pc: copy the FlashRec.apk & the Amon RA recovery.img onto your SD card.
If you don’t have a ‘file manager’ or ‘app manager’ go to the market & download one such as: ASTRO, LINDA, AppManager or the like. Then browse to your SD card & open/run the flashrec.apk to install it. (if asked what to open with choose Package Installer)
Open RecoveryFlash (flashrec) & make a backup of your current recovery.img. Flashrec just made "recovery-backup.img" on the root of your SDcard, so now rename Amon Ra's recovery to "recovery-backup.img" (choose replace when the dulpicate file name message appears) then open flashrec again & choose restore recovery. (Credit for this step goes to deb82swearingen Much easier then the orig method I was shone for using flashrec)
Once the flash is complete turn the phone off.
Boot into 'Recovery' like this: Press-&-Hold END/Power AND Pres-&-Hold Home. (this will be a black background with green text options)
Scroll down to ‘partition’ (press trackball to select)->partition SD->follow onscreen steps (HOME=confirm, VOL +/- changes partition size, any other key=cancel).
Once partitioning is complete press BACK to get to partition menu & scroll down to 'SD:ext2 to ext3’ press trackball to select (if you have a class 4 or 6 SD card you can then go for 'SD:ext3 to ext4' but don't try it on class2 cards it will cause system instability & likely FRY your SD card... if you don't know your class stop @ ext3).
go BACK until top says "Android system recovery" ->Connect phone to pc & scroll to 'USB-MS toggle'->HOME to confirm.
Copy the HTC 1.6 BASE & CyanogenMod ROM & Contacts.apk files onto your SD card then close the SD card folder on your PC & toggle USB-MS again, then disconnect from the pc.
Scroll to & select ‘wipe'->wipe data partition->CONFIRM
Scroll to & select ‘Flash update image->Apply sdcard:choose zip & select the HTC BASE file & let it complete (this will take a few min be patient). DO NOT REBOOT!
Scroll to & select ‘Flash update image->Apply sdcard:choose zip & select the CyanogenMod file & let it complete (this will take a few min be patient).
Once the flash is complete reboot phone (this will take up words of 5-10min+ be patient).
Once up & running on latest CyanogenMod connect to pc again & unzip the audio-resources.zip directly onto your SD card.

Fixed Contacts.apk
Now that you have 4.2.13 installed it's time to fix the bug listed in Cyan's change-log. We will do this by replacing the broken Contacts app with the fixed Contacts.apk that you downloaded. If you get a pop-up asking about giving super user rights just hit the check mark to remember this answer & press 'yes'. This is UNIX & UNIX is unforgiving so pay attention to all punctuation, symbols, UPPER CASE & lower case. They are different & if you don't do it exactly it won't work. (UNIX assumes that you know what you want it to do so it will do whatever you tell it to, even if what you tell it to do breaks it.) So long as you are able to type what you see this is easy
Open Terminal Emulator & type these lines (hitting enter at the [E])
su [E]
mount -o rw,remount /system [E]
cp /sdcard/Contacts.apk /system/app/Contacts.apk [E]
mount -o ro,remount /system [E]
reboot [E]
(The reboot is precautionary but generally a good idea anytime you replace /system files.)

P.S. THANKS fhaines !!!!
fhaines spent days sifting through the forums to pick all these tidbits out of the masses of G1 ROM flashing posts & forwarded it to me so I could flash my MT3G, I want to say thank you to fhaines for his hard work. I just worked out the formatting & simplified the verbiage to as plain English as I could. Hope this helps those who are a bit timid to test the CM Rom waters (as I was).
Is it required to partition the sdcard, or is that just for Apps2SD & swap?

Cyanogenmods newest roms run fastest with a swap and ext3 partition on the sd card. If you run it with just a fat32 and or ext2 you will most likely be running the rom a lot slower than was designed.

If I am not wrong the has to be rooted to apply cm? In which step of this tutorial does the phone gets root?
Nicely done!
A few days too late for me, unfortunately, but it's nice to know that I ended up with essentially the same procedure. My notes are quite a bit more disjointed than your instructions, however.
It'll be a good refresher once it's time to root my wife's phone, however.
Great Resource for noobs and advanced alike
I believe this should be stickied.
Damn you beat me to it. I have been looking for WEEKS on a sure fire way to root my MyTouch 3G. I tried the Relentless Rooter, the Gold Card method and everything else I could find to throw at this thing.
The steps outlined here are slightly different from what I did, but all in all, this is what worked for me, was nice, easy and worked great. The first time you Root a phone it takes a bit to get the process down, but it's not as hard as you think.
If this hasn't been stickied, it needs to be!
Looks good but I have a few questions.
I am currently running on CM 4.1.999 (1.6) and my phone is running very smoothly. I tried 4.1.9999 but it started to bog down and seriously slowed down. I've got quite a few apps and I've got the phone set up as I like it (including changing some of the icons with bettercut and that kind of stuff) I'm getting to the point where I'm a bit loathe to go through all that again, so my question is; what are the real world advantages I might enjoy if I "upgraded" to 4.2?

Have you tried CM updater? It can be downloaded from the market and should just upgrade your current rom.

OK, thanks, I thought it had been switched off so to speak after the Google episode.
My main question remains though, are there any benefits? I know, I know, go and look at the thread in the Dream section but still, CM4.1.999 really does work very well on my Magic and I think it deserves representation here.
Allied to a good theme it is by far and away the best ROM for the Magic IMHO.
Im running it now and have no issues. It is very fast and reliable. I think its worth the upgrade.
Right You Are

You do need to be rooted to apply a CM ROM (or any other 'cooked ROM' I think), HERE is where you are officially Rooted as I understand the process.

Hey,
Couple of things to check and make sure of. You have to be on factory 1.5 before doing the upgrade to the Rooted HTC rom and Cyanogens rom, cannot do this from 1.6. Also, there is a wipe involved in the process, and if its skipped it may account for the FC's. Also there is a fix permission file you can run after installation and initial boot that may help with the FC's, its located in CM's thread in the Dream section where the rom is.

Yes, it is on the factory cupcake build when i start to try and install CM. The weird thing is i have had Cyanogenmod for a long time and have been doing upgrades and everything worked untill now. I upgraded to CM 4.2.1 and after that CM stopped working on my phone. I can confirm that 'other' rooted roms do work..so it seems like its just CM. Thanks

Quick update for anyone with any ideas. I finally got it to boot up and it runs great except for two things I've notices so far. When i try to add widgets nothing pops up and when i go to settings the window comes up for half a second then goes away and back to home screen. Now what I did to fix it was partition the sd card which i was told is NOT necessary. Then after i got it to work i tried again with a sdcard that was NOT partitioned and it did the same thing again, black screen no-go. So it seems like if you don't partition the sdcard on some phones the phone freezes at a black screen. Keywords being "some phones". So for anybody who knows how to fix the widget and settings problems not opening, please help me....Thanks

I don't think it has anything to do with SD partition type. Im running cm with a fat sd. everything's fine.
Nice lil issue...
Once it’s finished press in the text box & clear out the box, then put /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img & press Flash Custom Recovery Image
I dont have this option when i try to flash the .img
it says Download Recovery Image and it is actually grayed out??
Sorry i am a newbie and have been looking everywhere to try to find a guide for this. I downloaded the blue echo for my htc hero and even rooted it but am not sure what else to do besides this. Any help is appreciated. thanks in advance!

How To: Load a Custom ROM on Your HTC Hero
* Posted on 08.27.09
* Android How To's, Featured, HTC Hero/G2 How To's, How To's, Video
* 272 Comments
Finally a reason to root your HTC Hero if you haven’t already! And if you have then something to do with the new found root access. Load a ROM!
Before you begin make sure you have done our How To Root Your HTC Hero in One Click! procedure.
THIS NOW WORKS ON THE SPRINT HERO AS WELL!
After you have successfully done that, you can do this procedure.
1. Download a ROM from forum.XDA-Developer.com to your computer. Or check our Downloads section and click on Android then ROMs and use the search bar at the top and type in “Hero ROMs”. *IF YOU HAVE A SPRINT HERO MAKE SURE THE ROM YOU WANT IS COMPATIBLE FOR THE SPRINT HERO!
2. Plug in your phone and pull down the Notification bar when the SD notification pops up.
3. Click on the notification and select Mount.
4. Once the SD card is on your computer screen, copy the ROM from your computer to your SD card (make sure NOT to put it in any folders on the SD card, just on the SD card by itself).
5. Once it is done copying, rename it on your SD card to update (in windows it should just need to be renamed update and you should still see the Zip folder icon to the left of the file to indicate that it is still update.zip).
6. Unplug your phone and turn it off.
7. Turn the phone on by holding down Home and Power till you get to the custom recovery screen.
8. Select Wipe from the menu, then select Apply Update.zip
9. Once it is done, select Reboot and you are all set!
Reported Issue:
Issue: I can’t find Format Fat32+Ext2+LinuxSwap.
Solution: This means you are using Amon Ras latest recovery image, he has put this option under Partition > Partition SD > then it asks you what values you want for the different partitions. Here are the standard values, but feel free to change them according to what the ROM you wish to use recommends.
LinuxSwap – 32MBs
Ext2 – 512Mbs
Fat32 – Remainder

Thanks a ton. It was actually down volume + power button for mine. After i got to the recovery I managed to figure it out. Thanks for the help!
Asus mypal a636n
Roes! A question would be, given that Asus MyPal A636 is a PDA and a power failure during an update since then and was not switched on only in the charging process takes fel.Szofveresen accessible somehow to delete the FAT table?
Anyone with a hero 2000+ knows it's annoying to try and get full root, those without a hero reading it's a very light weight kinda cheap but still plays any game I've thrown at it Chinese phone that imitates the iphone 5 in design, ANYWAY back to the point
What will this guide achieve?
- Root including access to system apps ( /system )(/xbin /bin)
- Your external SD card will become the phone system memory for apps when installed instead of sdcard2 which the app market refuses to install directly too which makes installing big apps a pain in the A.
Any bad points?
Just one sadly the rear camera doesn't seem to be detected seems to only detect the front, i'm sure someone a little more experiences could extract the correct stuff and place it into the mod i'm going to link at the bottom and if you think you can do this please do would help me and other people a lot
What do you need?
Follow other guides around the forum to install CWM there are loads of ways around i'll include all the random ones i book marked and you can figure the rest out, took me a while to figure out which one was best and how to do it due to the phone being impossible
Links below:
FIRST AND THE BEST ONE FOR ME CLICK HERE : This one has drivers CWM hack and the basic root, it will give you root access but you won't be able to delete system apps or do anything really cool, but will give you the fundamentals to do the hack to gain this.
SECOND ONE: This one i can't remember its use but it had some use somewhere?? Play around with it whatever just giving you more info i found.
THIRD LAST : Not sure about this too but it did something when i played around with it... I think?
The tools to give you full root access the initial hack / mod / whatever you call it i was talking about in the first place before i placed all this jargon on you:
So once you have CWM and maybe root access is essential i'm not sure i don't think so, load into CWM you know turn off your phone, turn it back on hold volume key +, if you're this far you know the routine, make sure you put THIS FILE HERE CLICK HERE onto your internal sdcard not the external, click install from SD card, click install from internal SD, click on the file i supplied and wait for the magic, will load in Chinese once done, the first boot might take around 5- 8 minutes, click on the drop down instantly and select your language, and you are done with super user ( sadly all the Chinese **** is still on there) but you have the tools to remove it now at will
Also
Is you want to quickly replace superuser with SuperSu instead and delete some of the chinese jargon check out THIS LINK RIGHT HERE MOFO.
and... you... are... done.
BTW THE SAME **** IF YOU BRICK YOUR OWN PHONE FOLLOWING MY INSTRUCTIONS OR NOT AND ANY VARIATION OF MY GUIDE BLAH BLAH BLAH, DON'T BLAME ME YOU ARE F'ED, NOT MY PROBLEM I'M SURE YOU CAN AFFORD ANOTHER $120 FOR ANOTHER CHEAP LIGHT WEIGHT PHONE LIKE THIS CAN'T YOU? IF YOU CAN'T OH WELL.
Good luck guys.

Hi guys i've got my phone rooted according to the instruction
WARNING! ONLY USE THIS ON THE GT-I9195 MODEL!
Hello all S4 Mini owners!
I'm happy to finally release ClockworkMod recovery and an insecure kernel for the GT-I9195. With these two installed on your device, obtaining root is easy.
Attached to this post is the necessary files needed for this task. Download the following files:
•Odin_v3.09.zip (if don't have it already)
•recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.7-serranoltexx.tar.zip
• GT-I9195_RootKit_v2.zip
Extract recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.7-serranoltexx.tar.zip file to your computer.
The procedure is as:
1.Copy the "GT-I9195_RootKit_v2.zip" to your device SD card.
2.Turn off the phone.
3.Press and hold home, volume down and power. Download screen should appear.
4.Connect USB cable, and press volume up.
5.Start Odin, uncheck "F. Reset Time", and then click AP button.
6.Select "recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.7-serranoltexx.tar.md5" file that you previously extracted, and press Start button. The phone will reboot when finished.
7.After the phone resets (it vibrates) IMMEDIATELY hold volume up and home buttons to boot into recovery mode.
8.Select the option to install the ZIP file you have previously copied to your device and begin flashing it.
9.After flashing using CWM, reboot into system and enjoy your rooted device.
To get rid of the the warnings about applications doing not permitted actions, delete the following files from system/app
•KNOXAgent.apk
•KNOXStore.apk
•ContainerAgent.apk
and i could not find out where is are this 3 APK hiding at so i decided to reset it back to factory setting but this problem still persist which comes this message:
"Device Information :

anyone got anyidea how to find this 3 apk please?
Or how i can revert it back to factory settings without it popping out again ?

1. Use File Manager with root explorer instead and mount SYSTEM as WRITABLE.
2. Go to: /data/data/ look for com.sec.knox.seandroid and rename it to 000.knox.seandroid or whathever you wish.. Same thing applies to com.sec.knox.store

Hello so past few days i had been toying with the idea of rooting and i got around to it last night.
> Rooted using Hasoon's2000 M8 Kit.
> Flashed TWRP 2.7.0.2
>Ran PermRoot
>SuperSU wouldn't work so i had to wipe my cache and devik cache then install a new version of SuperSU (Used this thread)
>Installed xposed
>On 5.0.1 so i had to flash the framework (Used this
>then i had a read around to find out that Snapchat has blocked Rooted users so i went to follow this thread (Link here)
Heres where it got ugly.
>Follow instructions and go to unflash xposed, boot into recovery and flash using the uninstall zip on the xposed 5.0+ thread.
>The flash fails so and i'm prompt to click reboot, do so.
>Startup screen, HTC logo, Then stuck on a black screen for +30 minutes, if i did a reset(held power and vol up) it would just go into the same situation
>Had to plug usb into pc, Hold all 3 buttons then release vol up, booted into recovery and it turned on properly.
However now i can't write to my internal storage it seems?
When i view my phones files on my PC all i can see is _nero_sync, Albums, mobile and Ringtones folders.
I can only find one file in the whole place and that is a ringtone OGG file. I move files from my phone to my PC without a problem. However when i try to move a file into the internal storage (Any folder or main directory) i get errors. If its a file im trying to move it just stays on "Copying" at like 2% on the bar forever. If i try and move a folder i get a big red x icon and "Cannot copy xxx_xxxxxxxxxx File may not exist or cannot be transferred. last of all my phone cannot download anything from the web, apps download okay from the playstore but any type of file i try to dload from online get "Download Unsuccessful) i can't even screenshot due to "Can't take screenshot due to limited storage space or it isn't allowed by the app or your organisation). There is around 4GB of free space on the phone.
Here is a album with screenshots from my computer - http://imgur.com/a/bWZMm
Really struggling with this and it's making my phone pretty unusable, if anyone could shed some light on this i'd be tremendously greatful.
Thanks!

Hello so past few days i had been toying with the idea of rooting and i got around to it last night.
> Rooted using Hasoon's2000 M8 Kit.
> Flashed TWRP 2.7.0.2
>Ran PermRoot
>SuperSU wouldn't work so i had to wipe my cache and devik cache then install a new version of SuperSU (Used this thread)
>Installed xposed
>On 5.0.1 so i had to flash the framework (Used this
>then i had a read around to find out that Snapchat has blocked Rooted users so i went to follow this thread (Link here)
Heres where it got ugly.
>Follow instructions and go to unflash xposed, boot into recovery and flash using the uninstall zip on the xposed 5.0+ thread.
