i just got my IS yesterday.b4 this im using touch HD so im a really2 noob on android devices.
how to load these ROM into my device? issit the same like on WM where u need to enter the bootloader and all?
can someone guide me here? giving me the links to required thread will be enough.i will do all the reading myself.
hope u guys can help me here.
questions are for general
this is only dev section
but to answer
first you need to get your device s-off which is currently not possible without an xtc clip
afterwards flash a custom recovery and than flash a custom rom
thanks a lot..i just pm'ed the guy in my region that have xtc clip. hope that he can help me out
What is a xtc clip? So can i get my s-on device into s-off?

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.
Trying to upgrade radio / kernal / HBOOT
I don't have access to a computer, so I am NOT able to use fastboot... I know that really sucks, so please someone help me...
This is what I have now:
HBOOT = 1.33.2005
RADIO = 2.22.23.02
KERNAL = 2.6.35.7
I am constantly updating with CyanogenMod's nightly, so I am on Nightly 260 at the moment.. Please help me upgrade HBOOT and Radio and kernal, so I can have extra 15 mb of RAM... And all without a computer.. I have downloaded the new radio, but nothing more.. I just need the links to download and a step-by-step of installing it with RA-recovery...
Thanks for ANY help

I think you can download clockwork and goto the bottom and flash ra's recovery. There is another thread with the radio and hboot to flash.
I have RA Recovery.. I need the links to the ZIPs, so I can flash them in recovery and not with fastboot... also, if someone can tell me exactly what order and how to.. I currently have cyanogen6 with 1.33.2005

Look a couple threads down, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=8311392708. All the info is in there. There is also another thread bout the 15mb ram. Im using xda app so i cant give you links
nobody mentioned this? - WRONG SECTION
post it in Q&A...
anyway it can be done, but there is a higher risk of bricking.
I know there is a higher risk of bricking, but some people have done it via RA-Recovery and I figured there is someone who could help me do it..
Please

Being on a nightly makes it more difficult.
Anyway, after you do it through recovery and you brick your dream, give me the eBay auction to buy your bricked phone for a couple of bucks.
Not trying to Brick my phone... just trying to get the 15mb ram extension done without a computer...
Any help would be nice
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App
people flip out when you ask for .zips and you get a brick speach like your a kid introuble with your parents or something. F that. i totally flashed that thru recovery. guess what! no brick! just flash in the proper order.
they are on this forum somewhere man. just search 15mb .zips.... there should be a thread containing them.
I know it is totally do-able... Just need the links to the zips.. If anyone has the links to the zips for HBOOT - RADIO and KERNAL...

Me and sdavies08 both have an xtc clip which is required to get s-off. If u haven't got one, search for xtc clip and get one. As from there it become avaliable to root the salsa.

gdavies08 has successfully s-off and rooted his Salsa.
i am in the middle of doing this, getting s-off is the hard part.
check out this thread!!! for all the info.
as for tutorial for getting s-off and root, please give us time to get it done and written out for everyone to see!
I will put together a guide some point over the next few days, will be hard to show exactly how to s-off as mine is already done, hopefully the guide i put together will help out anyone using the xtc clip though,
Hi guys,
Just came across this thread from Desire S forum:
"downgrade HBOOT 2.00.0002 to 0.98.00000 without using HTCDEV unlock"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399331
I am wondering if the same can be applied to our IS... I am totally new to downgrade/root/rom/etc, so could not verify this. But think if it can, our IS could benefit from it.
Could some experience member help on the topic?

Yes that should work, although there was a report that the Zergrush temp root doesn't work on the IncS HBOOT 2.00.0000. You can always try it and report back to us.

hey guys !!
just got a vivid !
it is gsm unlocked from at&t and i'm using it in india !
as i just got it, i am a complete noob at it !
i have flashed atrix, thrill, n900, hd2 , etc so i am not a noob at flashing !
i dont want to s-off my device and want to install all the custom roms without doing it
someone pls guide me !
thanks....
Go to the HTC website and find the latest ICS RUU for AT&T and run it. Unlock your bootloader. Flash a custom recovery (I prefer the WCX one). Then install whichever kernel + ROM. You say you aren't a noob at flashing and such, so I assume you can do that without much hand-holding? If you need more info then follow the guide in my link but only do the steps I just told you above.

I wouldn't even attempt it without knowing the full ins and outs of what your doing. I would read, read, reread all the issues others have had. Then learn what not to do by those people so you don't end up with a brick. After you have read, read, and reread, and understand then you can attempt it. That's what I done and have never had any issue on this phone flashing anything. Please don't jump the gun and try to do this without reading!

the device is already running ics 4.0.3 with sense 3.6 !
it was updated via the ruu from htc website !
so here's what i will do now !
1) unlock bootloader from htc-dev
2) flash wcx recovery
3) flash kernel+custom rom !
am i missing anything ?
and no need for s-off right ?
my hboot shows

That's how I did it...but without posting questions...I'm no expert but I read, searched and reread when migrating from icrap...didn't want to ask questions which have already been answered in other posts...that is what irritates devs...I don't think people mind questions...but at least do your homework first..

ok thanks to all the folks who helped me !
i have successfully unlocked bootloader, installed wcx recovery and rooted the phone !
can i flash faux dual core kernel with at&t stock ics firmware, i heard the kernel is very power efficient !
also i saw some roms have written ""s-off only"" so as my device is s-on i can't install them right !!
i know they are too many questions , but i just need to be very sure and safe before doing anything !

You can flash faux123's if you would like. I use the kernel myself and can say that it's the quickest, most stable, and most battery friendly kernel I've used so far. You could flash those S-off ROM's as well, you would just need to extract the boot.img from the rom .zip and flash it through fastboot.

Use THIS to root. Make sure you are on ICS though so you have the updated HBOOT
If you want a stock Htc sense 3.6 (The one that is offical for our device) I would recommend Wild Childs WCXbuilds.. You can google WCXxperia for his site.
If you are looking for a newer Htc sense I would recommend Homeslices "BoRKeD" Htc sense 4.1 build
Hopefully that can help ya out.
