Like he said, its just not possible. The things that need to be modified reside on root-only access folders. So without root access, we aren't allowed to touch these directories and files required to move everything to the sdcard. Its one the incentives of rooting your phone.

Just ROOT, its super easy great vid on youtube its a 3 part series check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9Aff5DXBBw

why wouldn't you want root? just wondering

Looks hard

Its not hard at all. infact its rather simple . just read and re-read the guides and if all else fails watch the videos.

Thanks for the guide. Question is instead of using JF's build how would I modife the guide to install [ROM]*New 1.76.61.3 build* Drizzy's Touchflo3D Hero - v2.5 "July/27 *5:17pm*"
I was using the instructions from the youtube video provided to me earlyer with download.

Instead of throwing JF's on your card as update.zip just put the hero 3d on as update.zip and flash. Have to make sure to have the new spl and new radio if your going to do any hero build. And read drizzy's page to see the requirements for setting up your sd card. Easy stuff.

Is the spl and radio all the same from any source?

You need the new radio and spl to load hero.
http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
Here is the radio and new spl. If your going to do this make sure you FLASH RADIO FIRST and then spl, otherwise you'll end up with a paperweight. After you flash the spl you phone will stay stuck at g1 screen. You will then need to take your card out and put it in a card reader and load up your rom and flash and you done.

honestly man, if your rooting/flashing for the first time, i would go with a stable build for a little while that you wont have to partition, linux-swap, etc. at least for a little while just to get used to it...
i know hero is tempting and the devs have done an AMAZING job of optimizing the hell out of it. but if you looked at the threads to root and thought that was tricky then just get used to it for a while before moving to non-stable/experimental type roms.

[SOLVED]Hero Rom for HSPL

Micro Hero Rom Installed
Hi i am looking for a Hero Rom for Hard SPL if any. i know that there is a micro Hero rom for any SPL...but after i install the micro hero rom i get lot of forecloses..and a blank homescreen with a notification bar ....
I use Amon RA recovery for Dream and i have switchrom so i have backups...
I have posted for help in the Micro Hero Rom and i talked to the Author of the Rom but so far no luck....
This is the ROM Post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561179
these are the instructions from the Author
"How to install:
1, Copy update file to sdcard
1b, If using a recovery older than Cyanogen 1.4, rename to update.zip
2, flash from recovery and if first time with this build, alt+w to wipe
3, in adb, type adb shell mount /system/sd; rm -r /system/sd/*
4, Reboot"
i have setup adb but when i type "mount /system/sd; rm -r /system/sd/*"
it says that "cannot remove /system/sd/* " or something...
Is there any other way to do it like from recovery??
I really liked the Rom
this is my SPL details
Drea100 PVT 32B
HSPL10.95.3000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.261
Current rom: Cyanogenmod 4.2.9.1
Partition: 512 mb EXT 3 94 mb swap rest FAT
I am sorry if my post is stupid and yea i did search a lot

That's it. The microhero, MAYBE Eugene's Espresso because I think he mentioned not having it made specifically for Haykuro spl. I would check it out

No, most of cyans apps are made for 1.6, this is 2.0 (2.1?). Some may work, but bluetooth won't, spare parts won't, contact and phone won't, etc...
And apndroid should should work.

It's laggy because it was made for the stock spl, if you had the danger spl it would be faster. And Hero isn't exactly the kind of rom you should be running if you want speed

yea...i didnt flash danger spl because some people said that it might brick my phone...so i didnt wanna take the risk...and if i have danger spl...i cannot run cyanogenmod...

You have a possbility of bricking yes. And that is wrong, spl allows you to have more space for apps and such. It doesn't limit your ability to flash roms, flashed cyan yesterday actually.

You can try using the search function or even GOOGLE. If you dont find what you need THEN post here.

@OP
Turn off your phone.
Press and hold the camera and end button at the same time until a screen pops up.
if it says
HBOOT - 1.33.2005
and the Radio is x.xx.xx.26I (the "x" stands for the numbers before 26I I forgot what they were lol)
if they both say that then you are good in that department.
Just put the zip file onto the root of your sdcard and flash via Recovery

Dear sir and sirs,

I own the G1 and it took a good while to root my phone. In the process I only made it to cup cake and now I'm stuck. Dream_Devphone DRC83 debug deal is what I'm using and when I try to reset, I get the android on skateboard scenery and after pressing the power and camera key. Please help me to resolve this problem. Your kindness would be greatly appreciated. I would also like to go beyond all the roms in order to learn about the android world. Please help me.

you should search for
g1 root
and if you can't get enough info with that
then give up
you don't have what it takes.
now... where did I leave my marshmallows?

Go to the theunlockr.com. They have good tutorials. Good luck dude.

Follow the steps...
Follow the steps on this site to root your phone...you say you got back to cupcake (1.5) right...ok, then you are going in the right direction. I used these to root my phone a while back. The link actually starts @ donut and goes back, but you can find the cupcake instructions on there also. Remember to be patient...it will happen eventually. Hope that helps.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-root-a-donut-phone-android-1-6/

If your phone is truly rooted, just flash a donut or eclair rom? I don't really understand the issue here...
There are a million how-to's here and everywhere else.

It's a complicated process so there is no "easy" answer. I almost gave up a few times in the process but I made it. If I can do it you can too. This is the wrong forum to get help from. I think you want the G1 Q&A forum.

Welcome to XDA-Devs. Search is your friend

Search for Amon Ra's recovery, and flash that. From there, you can easily partition your SD card, and flash ROMs. Also, since you are on the G1, search for and read the thread about flashing the Danger SPL if you want to be able to run some of the bigger ROMs like hero, and some of the eclair roms.

you should have a recovery image installed, if not,install amon ra's. then boot into RECOVERY BY HOLDING HOME AND POWER. DON'T BOOT USING CAMERA AND POWER, THAT PUTS YOU INTO FASTBOOT. YOU FLASH ROMS IN RECOVERY OK? anyways, once you boot into recovery, wipe your phone and flash a Rom and you are all set ok?

If he's "not sure what to read", then he needs to do further research. Why are we the bad guys when people just go barrelling though steps and when they realized they missed a step and now they have a fancy new paperweight, they freak out and ignore the rules of the Development section, which, if I remember correctly, is for development, and not for questions. There is a specific section for questions, aptly titled the Q&A section.

[Q] s-on. on the g1

Ok so here's the deal. I was putting a new Rom on my g1 which I've done many times before. Before I I put this Rom on I had to put certain aol and ratio on first. So I put the radio on successfully . And everything was fine (radio: 2.22.27.08) .but then I flashed the hoot (1.33.0013d) it work and its on my phone but soon as it did I noticed it turned s-on . And I'm sure that's what caused it. And I tried to restore back up roms and won't boot up. None of my roms will. It just gets to the G1 screen and shuts off and true to boot again.over and over. So my question is . Is how do I turn s-on back to s-off? Please help me

You had the same problem I was having. Which ROM are you trying to flash? I don't know if it matters or not if S is ON or OFF. Mine currently is S-ON. And up and running.

Yoshiginger something. but I gave up. and just changed the hboot and radio back and that worked. but I got another question you might can help me with about my brothers magic. his s-off changed to s-on to. the only problem is on his the recovery isn't working. so is there anyway that I can flash a hboot through bootloader or any other alternate way like maybe terminal emulated?

The other way I know is adb fastboot. He might be able to download the FlashRec.apk and install it on his phone. Then flash the recovery of his choice to see if the Recovery mode will come back.

Ok we will try it. Is that Rom you got good? Never heard of it before

if you use 1.33.0013d and 2708 or 2825 radio you *must* use a compatible kernel
all of the solutions to your confusion are in that post linked above
in future you should take some time to read ( and understand ) things before doing

ezterry's gingerbread is way better than yoshiginger imo
basically yoshiginger is an earlier version of ezterry's gingerbread with some cyanogen apks added
there is no good reason to use a cut and shut job when you can use the real thing

You can also try SuperAosp. It have 15MB root additional. I am currently using it. It also works with this SPL/radio combo.
