hi I'm new to this forum I just bought htc dream and I saw on youtube there's a way to get android 2.0.1 on it. Is that true? How can I do that I also saw that the camra didn't work. Is there a way to make it work? And I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.
well, you have to root your phone in order to get this '2.0.1' version (which isnt really it). its just being compiled from here and there.

If you bought the MyTouch with the 3.5 mm headphone jack on it then you'll have to use the Goldcard method to get root on it. Currently I have been the only person that has been successful and making a ported rom for the phone. The camera works too.
IF you have the MyTouch 1.2 AND you eventually get root via goldcard method click here for the 2.1 rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669911
If you don't know how to make a goldcard to get root:

BEWARE! Several noobs have bricked their device because they didn't read the instructions. If you can't read and follow the instructions... get an iPhone.

First, I want to point out that you did NOT post this in the wrong place, and thank you for taking time to even read what forum you were posting in.
Yes, there is a way to get 2.1 on your Dream. Also, camera is working now. One of them has YouTube HQ (high quality,) but I think camcorder is broken all around. Take a jump over to Dream G1 Development and take a look around. You can also try the sticky at the top of that forum called "The Rom Bible."

Sorry. You're right. I misunderstood. I just got off a 18 hours shift and I own both phones so sometimes I confuse Dream vs Magic. Meh. My apologies.

It's understandable. Especially after an 18 hour shift. I couldn't stand a 10 hour without it resulting in brain damage.

Okay guys, I have scoured the internet and these forums trying to find a solution to my problem, but I have not come up with anything yet. I have followed the directions exactly for the Sprint version of the rooting for 2.1 on an htc Hero and everything is fine until I get to the command:
sh /sdcard/unrevoked
Now it does it's thing with this and I get the next Unpacking, please wait... And then the huge UNREVOKED, but after this in everything that I have seen it should say "Ready to 'su'." Yet it never does. It just goes back to the "$" and that's where it sits. I checked the phone just to make sure and see if the superuser permissions app was there... and it's not. Am I missing something? I didn't get any errors before this, but can't get that app installed. Ugh, so frustrated...
So no ideas from anyone, huh? Darn, and here I was hoping someone would at least have something for me to try.
I am confused, you said in the thread title you want root for 2.1 not sprint but then you go to mention this;

Andrewb84uk,
Good question, but the statement I made still holds true. The phone I have is not using the Sprint ROM but it is a CDMA phone, so I was hoping that the rooting exploit for Sprint would work for the company that I am through as well (which happens to be a carrier called Cellcom located in Wisconsin). So Yes, I do not have a Sprint Hero, but I also do not have a GSM Hero either. Just hoping that since I can't find rooting for any other carriers, something might have worked...

If your phone is CDMA, then I would post over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=650
I can move this if you want (I think), but you might as well just open a thread over there and explain the issues.
In GSM Hero, we tend to refer to all CDMA hero's as being Sprint Heros (since Sprint was first to release it IIRC)

I tried out a few of the different rooting techniques and have still had no luck. It's kinda frustrating. I guess that's one of the downsizes of having so many devices with the same platform. You can root for one device, but it certainly won't work for all, or all the different carriers either. Couple more to try before I decide to give up and pack it in. Never had this much trouble with my other phone...
SOLVED!!!

Just pick a rom, flash it, then repeat until you like it. Nobody is going to be able to tell you what you like. That's up to you to decide.

I just bought my Samsung Captivate about 3 weeks ago and my friend updated it to froyo 2.2. Loved it nothing wrong with it untill last night. I pressed the unlock button on the side and when i went to slide it to unlock it it would not work. I took the battery out and tried again and it did nothing. I looked it up and i think my best bet is too download odin3 and restore it to stock. I absolutely no nothing about phones. Please help me! I need my phone to help tune my truck.
Thanks, Abel
This goes in the Q & A section, not android development. And to answer your question thoroughly more information is needed about what your running.
Oh Boy where does one begin.........
Sorry. I am new to this. But as far as i know it is a samsung captivate. lol. But now all it does is go to the "AT&T screen and it says world phone" and does nothing else.

Bad thing is i have mac ( and its pissing me off becaus i cant use it. I am going to have to wait for tonight i guess.
Wait, you use a Mac, you know nothing about phones, and you let someone else update your phone to a totally unsupported operating system? I'm not sure if you realize this, but in doing that, you just let your friend void your warranty.
Friend, here is how forums work: you spend 99% of your time reading and if you don't understand something then you ask. As silverslotcar so kindly pointed out, you should start by reading this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 and all of the other stickies in this Captivate Android Development forum. THEN you let your friend mod your phone so at least you have some idea of what is going on.
Good luck reading the forums!

If you're only wanting to go to Android 2.2 (Froyo), your only option in that thread is AdamOutler's UCKB2 Froyo 2.2 Heimdall One-click.
