I was going to help my friend root his G1 and install the CyanogenMod 6.1 on it.I noticed on his G1 it said android 1.6.I was hoping someone could point me in the right directions to a link for rooting and installing the rom.So if you can link me to the newest rooting method and a link to install Cyanogen it will be appreciated.
Thanks,
eastwood
The downgrade to cupcake/one click root works for most G1 phones, but check the build in About Phone. If it's DMD64, you will probably need to create a a Gold Card (reference: the Unlockr). If you want to save time abduction hassle, check out the Gold Card Helper app in the Market. You will still need to follow the Unlockr's steps. Hang on, i'll find you some links...

Ya, if you get the Goldcard Helper app (note that Goldcard is actually one word), you can effectively skip steps 1 to 8 in this method:
[Can't post links yet. Just google "unlockr how to create gold card"]
And no need for ADB! You will still need a PC to use that Hex editor. Are you using a mac?
After you get a goldcard, doing the normal dowgrade to 1.5 and one click root works pretty good, and there are many guides to doing that around here and on other forums.

Hi Everyone,
First, please accept my apologies on posting question that had probably been asked many times. But i just want to make sure i am following the right procedure to hopefully avoid bricking my G1.
Okay. As stated on the subject i am running 1.6 Firmware with DRC92 Build on my G1 - UK G1
Now i have found two sets of tutorials on rooting the G1, but im not quite sure which one works.
I have found this one but there some comments there that some people did got some issues.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOo2V9qCauc
So i scoured the net again and found this one.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-root-the-mytouch-3g-or-g1-in-one-click/
Now my question really is which one should i follow?
Many thanks in Advance.
BUMP!

dude. check the q&a section All your answers are there. Also, look to the upper left of this window. There is a search box (BTW if you are not sure what you are doing, why do it?) Good luck.
EDIT: Try the old fashoned downgrade method. another guide that may be useful i believe is on www.androidandme.com if you don't like searching these threads.

With respect, this wasn't my experience. I was running the same firmware as the OP on my T-Mobile G1 (UK) and managed to downgrade, root etc. thanks to help given here; I'll try and find which thread it was and link back.
I certainly didn't require a GoldCard.
Ok so I'm new to moding. I have a Sprint Hero. I went to the sprint store and they updated me to the official 2.1 update. My question is can I still mod my phone even if I have the new 2.1 soft ware? And if not, is there a way to go back to 1.5 ? and if so , how do I even do that ? is there a tutorial around here to show me how to start doing this? Yes im a tech but this is not my filed. Can someone point me in the right direction.
Can't do anything yet to an official 2.1. Sorry give it some time

If you search here on xda for the guide to rooting you will find one, however, I think this one gives you a little more info and is super easy to follow. Btw, this one uses the same method.
http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-sprint-hero/38911-guide-root-rom-faq-tutorial.html
Also, there is an auto rooter out there called Fresh Kitchen found at geekfor.me which is pretty cool.. it's made specifically for the Sprint HTC Hero based on 1.5. I used it to root my phone and it work flawlessly and it's pretty much painless... once it's rooted, from what I can tell, you can pretty much try out various roms from the different devs that are out there. The main thing is, you may have to wipe your phone when you change to different roms.. geekfor.me/category/android15/ is link for the auto rooter.. you have to download it and run it on your pc then connect your phone via usb cable.. he has video tutorials on the website to help..
I am currrently running Regaw Mod 2.1 and would like to have apps2sd. I have searched and searched and am confused.
I found a tutorial BUT it says it is for JF 1.5, what the heck is that? lol
(Sry cant post link as i am new member )
My SD Card is partitioned and ready to go.
I am fairly new to all of this as i just rooted my hero on monday. I know that some ROMs come with Apps2SD but after trying most of them i prefer to run Regaw's ROM.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Also, is it possible to change my kernel version to allow overclocking without changing my ROM?
Thanks in advance to everyone willing to help a noob.
bumpity bump bump
Hey man. Just do a search for "a2sd" and the first result should be the one you need. Follow the instructions in there to get it installed. On my hero now or else I would get you the link. Let me know if you can't find it.

Thanks.
I actually ended up loading fresh 2.3.3, partitioned my card, enabled apps2sd through his rom, downloaded all the apps i normally have, and then reflashed Regaw and all my apps showed up even after wipe so i think im good now.
I tend to be a little impatient so i did all of this while i was waiting on a reply lol.
I made a huge mistake of flashing fresh to my phone. Had to flash regaw twice to get it working proper again after my nightmare with fresh. It will never touch my phone again, I can promise that!

Hi Hello,
this is my first post in this forum and I hope you will forgive me my bad english and the fact, that 2 hours of searching haven't figured out answers to my problem.
I flashed my HD2 by using this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893620
Everything worked well and I'm really impressed of the performance my HD2 now shows.
My problem:
I wish to install APPS2SD and searched quite the whole Internet for a manual to do it.
But it seems all manuals are NOT for my configuration.
Due to the flashing process there is hspl 2.08 and magdlr 1.13 installed on my phone.
When I try to get in "recovery" via magdlr it says something like "missing source".
I guess something is missing but I didnt't get it.
So please can anyone show me the way to get APPS2SD installed?
Thank you!

There are many roms supporting this feature automatically when you have an SD-ext partition.you can try one of them.

Rather than looting half of London, I spent my time giving something back to the Android Community.
I've compiled this guide on how to root the HTC Legend vodafone. It's pretty simple in my opinion and I've tried to make it as easy to use as possible. I have included a lot of images and started right from the beginning.
List of Guides:
How to root the HTC Legend [H-BOOT 1.00]
How to un-root the HTC Legend
Advice on choosing ROM's

I think I've added in all the credits, but if I haven't then please tell me. I'm also making more guides for noob Android users.
Thanks for using the guide, and if you have any suggestions, please leave a comment.
N.B. Guides have since been taken down due to newer methods of one-click rooting.

I just rooted a day before you posted and believe me this are the steps I followed...and woo..its rooted
I hope this post is made a stickied
Very nice, and lots of pics! It should help a lot of people out.
Thank you. When I tried to root my HTC Legend, I couldn't find a proper guide, so I thought I'd make one to help other people out.
Hi Thanks i just swap my iphone with htc legend from my gf and planning to root the phone. this would be my only guide, hopefully no issue will happen and i will report back. the guide looks good and simple but the only thing i find is, TOO many files needed. maybe i can combine all of them and put in 1 place to help other newbies !
but i still shock to see number of files i need to root an android ! and the files are sooo big aswell ! different from iphone, you just need a website or 1 software to jailbreak it hehehehehe - relax im an android fan boy now !
Every Android device has its own rooting method. The one of the Legend is really long; but don't worry. It's not that hard as it seems. Also this guide is really good!

Error 140 means that you need to re-create the GoldCard. Your phone must also be connected as, "Charge Only". You could also try plugging your phone in another USB port. Also check that you have AndroidSDK installed.
Added another guide with some advice on choosing ROM's. I'm also working on a simple un-root guide.
