So I don't know anything really about what rom is right for me. I have a htc diamond cdma version for the us my carrier is alltel. If I could get some help with this that would be great. Also from what little I understand installing a new rom would wipe my memory? would it also wipe important things that I need to use my phone on my network? Thank you for the help.

I have the rogers htc dream and i want to root it. Im sick of the slow laggy rogers build and the horrid browser. I have a fairly good knowledge level in flashing devices. Ive flashed a couple of Motorolas but im kind of confused with rooting the dream.
I want to use : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558301 but dont know if i can because i dont know how to find my SPL. I want a hero rom but would like to use a rogers customized one due to hearing rogers customized roms provide better 3g reception due to the new radio or something but i will settle for another rom if its fast and reliable
So if someone can give me a rom and stuff i need a simplifed guide id be very thankful

You can find your SPL version by booting while holding Cam+Power. Look at the numbers next to HBOOT
Flashing your phone isn't supposed to be very easy and I recommend learning about what the root process entails before continuing. Flashing something wrong such as the inappropriate radio or SPL could brick your phone.
If you would like another guide, search for "Rogers, heres your real root"
that is the original rooting guide and should work properly for you
B-mann said it good. Just don't look for a hand out, do your research. People that constantly want a hand out here are the ones that constantly ask the same repeated questions so they never learned anything. Read and reread what your doing.
Hi all,
I have ordered a G1 and should have it by wednesday, i have tried to read up about changing the android root and rom and im getting totally confused as to what rom to use and how to actualy root hack and apply the rom.
it will be a uk model phone, can i use american guides and roms or do they have to be uk?

you can use american guides, but you must, MUST download the UK versions of the firmware when rooting.
and just search the forums, there are plenty of tutorials on how to root your G1.

Hi mate,
cheers for the reply.
where is best place to get the uk firmware? and how will i know if its uk or american?
This page should help you.
Once you have this up and running, you can upgrade your recovery to Amon_ra latest, upgrade your radio to the latest and flash away.
cheers mate, will try this when i get the phone.
hi do i need the rc29 or rc7? im in the uk?
Which kind of g1 did u order
its a g1 with drc92 with 1.6 f/w, what other info do you need?
You need the RC7 .zip I believe.
are you sure mate?
you should go on youtube.com and type this in the search bar "jailbreaking t-mobile g1 made easy" and follow from there it should give u links and remember to choose the uk downloads this is one of the best vids with the clearist quality

hi i have rooted my phone now following the instructions above (on youtube jailbreaking t-mobile g1 made easy) however , when he explaines that now i need to do the last stage and update to a newer f/w / rom and recomends downloading JFv1.51_CRB43-EU.zip the link does not work, my questions are ...
do i have to use this perticular .zip or can i use others which ones can i use with this method of rooting and which roms do i need for the uk?
please help asap i need my phone! lol
i think i might need a new recovery.img too as this one i have has no backing up options? please please please help me someone
get amon-ra's recovery, and the rom you're talking about is out of date, so i suggest flashing one of the many roms that we currently have (superD, SCDI, Open Eclair, etc.)
Sorry if that was ask allready, but i googled for hours and i didnt find anything!
My Question is: Can i use TM G1 rom on a rogers Dream? If yes where can i find the hole Rom with RUU? Thanks for any help!

How did you miss this?
I'm usually over at the vibrant forum but my friend really wants me to work some magic on his phone. He has an HTC Hero with Cricket service, originally Sprint. I want to know if I root and flash a ROM to the phone will it undo anything that Cricket has done to give him service?

You can make a nand and try it. I doubt the rom would mess up the service, radio is below recovery/rom levels. that said, I don't have cricket, so who knows.
I have a request, please go back into jaybobs ROM thread and edit your post to say nothing, because it has NOTHING to do with his thread. If you can't find an answer in Q+A you shouldn't go into a rom thread with a completely unrelated question.
I hope you're able to help your friend.
Thanks. Will do.
