Ok first of all, nice guide. I love the screen shots
Second, i suggest adding a download link for your files like the Cyanogen rom.
For the first, screenshot, you should have the rom be in the root of your sd card shown that its not in any folder or w/e...
You should also add links for downloading the Hard SPL and the OTA Radio found on the HTC website.
For formating the SD CArd, make sure your clearly state that its for 1 GB only and where to find how to format other sized sd cards.
Basically, the only thing you are REALLY missing are the links to download the files.
Last, thanks for the credit . This is a very good guide. Keep it up

Thanks for the nod in the credit section. It's nice to know that some people we help just don't take their answer and run but rather give back to the community like you did.
Even though this guide is very specific, I am sure it will help people. It's is neat, organized, well written, and the screen shots are very n00b friendly.
Great job, and welcome!
Edit: I did notice a small error...your links to the recovery flasher app are not links but just words. Seems like you forgot the hyperlink....

Did not realize hyperlinks were missing. I did this on word and i had all the links sorry.
And i mention you two cause i couldnt have done it without you.

Agreed.

On step 31, you really need to mention 2 things.
1- your "noob friend" really needs a bigger/faster sd card
2- he needs to make sure and put the parameters of his card (it may be 996, not 999)
But yeah, good guide overall.

Step 9 says to use "apply update.zip" but you didn't tell them to rename it to that. With no previous knowlege they won't know and might be scared to try the "apply any zip from sd" option.
Other then that guide looks pretty thorough and done well.

Word... just change the guide so that they use the next option to flash any .zip. You can also just have them download and copy all three files at once in the beginning, in the interest of efficiency, and flash one after the other.

They do not need to because the new cyanogen recovery img does not need you to.

Tell me what happens when you press home + power then alt + l when the screen comes up. .. and when that screen comes up does the g1 screen come up first? Cuz I think otherwise it might be a guaranteed brick :/

okay i gott itt to go to the menu. but i try to apply the v4.2.1 and it always aborts it =/

Try the Q&A forum next time.

I go to the menu. flash the 1.6 recovery image. Change Cyanogen to update. Try to flash it but it gets aborted

don't know about cy updates but it sounds like your may have a bad file. Have you installed this update before using the "same file"? if not you may try just redownloading the update.

really neeed helpp with this. Tried installing the v4.1.9999 and it still aborts

bummer. I'm not sure what all the prerequisites are for cy mods.. Hopefully someone else can jump in here to help ya :/

Think he may have aborted installation during the radio flash portion of the HTC archive.
From Cyanogen's OP:
cyanogen said:
7- Apply sdcard:choose zip *PICK dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip* from the list
ALLOW IT TO INSTALL FIRST.....you will see the "unbox" image.........then it will automatically reboot HOLD HOME button while it reboots.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's not exactly the way it went for me the 2X I've done this, so maybe this is what happened...IDK?
I've had to reboot manually (Home+back) out of recovery following phase 1 of the flash to initiate the start the Radio flash portion. This may confuse some as it's not listed as a step.
Just to be sure, place fresh copies of dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip and cm4.2.1 in /sdcard prior to doing this. Use an external card reader if necessary.
1. Get into recovery
2. Wipe (optional but recommended, problems=include step 2)
3. Flash dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip
4. If phone does not reboot automatically, reboot manually (Home+back) out of recovery and release buttons immediately
5. Let Radio flash (you see the image of the box with the arrow and the eprom chip)
6. Wait for screen to go completely black then hold "Home" button until it reboots back to recovery console.
7. Flash CM4.2.1
I noticed 4.2.1 took an unusually long time to load on initial boot, so be patient.
If this has nothing to do with your issue, sorry for wasting your time. Hopefully this helps somebody eventually.

There are 2 things you could do, use cyans file, and make sure you flash the HTC image first, as his update file is a partial update without the google experience (read apps)
This is taken from Cyans OP in his thread and edited for you, please follow the instructions properly.
Note: You need cyanogens recovery image 1.4 or better for this process, as it lets you chose files named other than update.zip
Install instructions for an HTC Dream/ADP1/G1:
1- Perform a Backup......nandroid, etc (ignore since i don't suppose you have anything to backup at this moment)
2- Download: http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s3 Android 1.6 Recovery Image. This isn't the type of recovery image we know. It's HTCs version of an update.zip
3- Download cyanogens ROM. http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/update-cm-4.2.1-signed.zip
4- Mount your phone and place BOTH 1.6 Image and cyanogens ROM on your SD Card.
5- Reboot into recovery mode *Home+Power*
6- WIPE!!!! This will allow google apps to function, correctly.
7- Apply sdcard:choose zip *PICK dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip* from the list
ALLOW IT TO INSTALL FIRST.....you will see the "unbox" image.........then it will automatically reboot HOLD HOME button while it reboots.
(ITS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU HOLD THE HOME BUTTON, BECAUSE IF IT THE HTC ROM BOOTS, YOU WILL HAVE TO RE-ROOT YOUR PHONE)
8- Apply sdcard:choose zip *Pick cm-4.2.1-signed.zip* from the list.
9- Reboot!
OR
download daveid's full update from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=80FXE36J or http://www.mediafire.com/?dnljdtndwnv
and just flash normally.
Oh and to mount your sd card to transfer the rom images to it from your computer when in recovery (Alt-X), use this command (in recovery, on your phone)
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
Finally, as someone else mentioned, please post in the right section.

how did u get ur phone to go back to the menu because the same thing happened to me

Sorry for may bad english !
I have the same problem. After flash rom OTA 1.6 of HTC, now i lose the recovery cm-1.4.

When boot in recovery, it look like before hack root, we can't update the other file, exception "update.zip".
When i type "su" in terminal, it return "permission denied".
-I tried to update another rom but i didn't run.
-I tried to flash another recovery by Fastboot but not success.
-I tried to flash another SPL but not success.
-The last hope, i tried to re-hack root by DREAIMG.nbh but not success too.

Okay I had the same problem and know how to fix it.
1. Download 1.5 Cupcake here
2. Copy the file to the root of your SD and name it Update.zip
3. Boot recovery and press Alt + S to install Cupcake
4. Now that you`ve got Cupcake download Flashrec here
5. Make sure that you allow installing non market programs on your phone.
6. Open Flashrec after installing it and click backup recovery!! VERY IMPORTANT, didn`t do it the first time and it didn`t work.
7. After backup is finished you download the recovery given by the program
8. When the download is complete you select flash recovery.
9. Reboot, and flash your Custom Firmware again.
IMPORTANT!: All of the 1 click rooting procedures are putting the Flashrec.apk file and a recovery image on the SD card, installing Flashrec and then using it to flash the new recovery image. You WILL NOT have internal root access after this procedure (it only allows us external root access from recovery)
10. I installed the full version of 4.2.1 which was linked on the previous page of this thread, and it installed the right radio, spl and hboot.
So everything is normal again, thank god. Ow after i installed the full version of 4.2.1 it didn`t work but i had the recovery back and root so i installed the oldskool 4.1.1.1 and it works.
Good luck and this took me 5 hours to find out!

[Possible solution]
Instead of safely remove on PC, use 'Disconnect' option from CWM recovery
If you have already used 'Safely remove' option from PC then,
In terminal issue following commands
Code:
[SIZE=2]adb shell[/SIZE][SIZE=2]
# echo 0 > /sys/class/usb_composite/usb_mass_storage/enable[/SIZE][SIZE=2]
# echo 1 > /sys/class/usb_composite/usb_mass_storage/enable[/SIZE]

OR Reboot into recovery

[Acknowledgement]
tj_style because this CWM recovery is an update to his CWM_recovery_fib0_v2
DooMLoRD for helping me out with my doubts and for familiarizing me with the development
All of you who will test it and give me feedback.

Extra info
Few advantages that I can think of for having
[ADB support in recovery]
As in recovery mode you get SU access, whether your phone is rooted or not, you can issue root level commands like mount, chmod, chown, fdisk
You can read, write to, move, modify, replace any system files (at your own risk)
Many more possible features which you can find by exploring this forum.
[USB support in recovery]
If you are playing with trying out new boot.img, boot-animation.img, splash.img which you are developing side by side, this will prevent all the hassle for rebooting phone just for adding new updated files to sd card (that you have just created)
Though you can use adb push feature in recovery, but I prefer copy / paste using computer as it checks for complete file transfer before ejecting the drive
[Disclaimer]
I am not to be held responsible for any damage to your phone after following this post.

Yes, that will surely do!
Also, as paarkhi has suggested you could also flash original Spice Gingerbread Update file ("nb0" file) using SUTL, since "nb0" files have all original files (bootanimation.zip, recovery.img, boot.img-which includes original kernel) and your phone is already registered for Spice Gingerbread upgrade.
[Though this is single step - easy option but it requires PC, I have one more option which you could use if your on the go and PC is not accessible]
I have posted steps to restore stock recovery at Restoring Recovery - An easy way (CWM / Stock)
and then you can flash any original "nb0" file.

read [HOW TO] Install/Use Droid 2 Bootstrap
bhigham/beh modified the root method
based on New D2 root method for stock 2.3.4 (621/622) found (Droid2, R2D2)
How this works

The preinstall just has an empty file in app/ so it will parse the md5 for it. Instead of an md5 sum, it contains a local.prop that allows adb root shell. So the system thinks it's copying the md5sum to the cache when it bounces off the symlink and overwrites the /data/local.prop, giving adb root on next reboot

Since all these devices (Droid 2/R2D2/D2G/DX2 and DX seem to be vulnerable to the same exploit found by phifc at
http://rootzwiki.com...nd-droid2-r2d2/
I have assembled rooting methods for all of them in EzSbf style CD. I have tested it on my D2G, and the same method has been tested by multiple users on the D2/R2D2, and has worked fine.
Credit for this method go to phifc, djrbliss, and the others who developed the method.
I have simply taken the method, and assembled the tools.
Credit for the idea behind the CD method should go to 1KDS, as I have mostly patterned this CD after his method.
Credit should also go to Skrilax_CZ, as without his Motorola Android Firmware (De)packer, we wouldn't be able to have a 55 meg CD that covers multiple devices.
Special thanks also to themib for testing and troubleshooting on the DroidX2. In fact, since I don't have a DX2, he actually did a majority of the work in finding a method that would work (the method for the D2 and D2G doesn't quite work), and then we worked together to get it assembled and working.
This CD is for the D2,R2D2, D2G, and DX on Android version 2.3.4, and the DX2 on 2.3.5.
One note if you have troubles with it not working. It might be necessary to disconnect the phone after it flashes the preinstall and reboots. It seems that some phones may not complete the reboot process before being rebooted by ADB, so you may need to disconnect the phone when it starts booting, and let it boot fully before hooking it back up. when hooked back up, it will be rebooted, and should go on with the process like normal.
Of course, like all other things here, I have done my best on this, but there are no guarantees, and anything you do on your phone is at your own risk.

other version had incorrect instructions, for boot to recovery, after flashing sbf

[ROOT] Framaroot, a one-click application to root
I have verified it works with these Motorola devices running android 2.3.4
Droid 2 (a955), Droid 2 Global (a956), R2D2 (a957), & Droid X (MB810)
Just download, allow unknown sources, install, open, select top root method (Gimli), reboot phone, done
no pc needed

I can also confirm, Framaroot works with with essentially one touch, at least for .621.

Thank you for this by the way. I pulled my DX out of retirement to try CM11 and not everything went as planned. I remembered I had an old sbf disk tried that it turned out to be 605 which of course resulted in a bootlader error. I was able to use 621 restore and root to recover from disaster. :highfive:

How to unlock your Bootloader?
**THİS WILL FORMAT YOUR DATA**
1- Go to Settings --> About Phone --> Software Information and click 7 times build number.
2- Now turn back to settings and pull down. You will see the Developer Options. Enable OEM Unlock and Usb Debbuging.
3- Now turn off your phone.
4- Hold [Vol Up + Vol Down] buttons and connect your phone to your pc while you are holding the buttons.
5- You will see a green screen. Hold the Vol Up button until an confirmation screen comes up and then only press Vol Up (Don't hold it again).
Now your phone will format itself and your bootloader will be unlocked !!!
INSTALLATION
(Before the installation you must unlock your bootloader)
1- Download the attached files.(Extract Odin,TWRP and USB Driver from the zip and install the samsung usb drivers)
2- Download your stock rom from the download button for a clean install.
(Extract the files too)
DOWNLOAD STOCK
(If you don't want to make a clean install you can skip to step 7 and format internal storage and data over twrp before installing the zips.)
3- Reboot your phone into bootloader (Press Vol Up + Vol Down Connect your phone and after it booted press again Vol Up)
4- Go to odin and click on the AP button and select your extracted AP (example: AP_M515FXXU1BTK4........_.tar.md5)

7- Now go to odin click AP, select Twrp.tar and press start . You must be quick again. Enter recovery after install before your phone reboots normal. Otherwise mount data on twrp won't work.
8- Now copy the files (Disable_Dm_verity.zip,Magisk.zip,multidisabler.zip) onto your sdcard or over mtp to your device. Install first Disable_Dm_Verity.zip and multidisabler.zip. Then install Magisk.zip. At last Install Disable_Dm_verity.zip again.

I made it .

Your recovery won't work, I managed to solve your vbmeta issue but it reboots to bootloader.
I built one from source and it still doesn't boot, even though I'm trying to fix that.
Maybe we will get a working recovery soon

It works now.

I couldn't encrypt but i found a way to mount data permanently. You must disable forceencryption on your phone. I wrote on my steps how to disable. It works on me. I've tested it on my m51.

I mixed it from s20 and a80 twrp and we don't need to type any command to mount system. Vendor and other partitions can mounted. These are de differences.

That's already fixed in stable 1 and it works without any problem plus I don't use any hacks to mount the data or don't need to flash other files to mount data.
Just flash twrp files and it works out of the box

No, you haven't fixed it we must type commands into terminal on twrp to mount. On my twrp it mounts automatically. But on yours vendor and other dynamic partitions haven't complete mount support.

In step 6, I don't see the super status, do you mean the pass status?

I mean a little bit earlier to don't miss the first boot. You must boot it again in bootloader before it boots normal.

After following all the steps and have root, do I need to press power and volume up button every time I restart the phone to have Magisk root or can I boot it normally without pressing anything?

After these steps you can boot your phone normally. Only at first install you need to go to magisk manager and install libraries.
