anybody know how to root?
i tried many times.
but my version is stg rc8.
i have problems downgrading to rc7.
followed everything but then i get error 0028000 NOT ALLOWED.
anybody can help? does the shop in lowyat plaza provide downgrading services for android like for iphone?

can somebody help me?
i'm willing to pay to whoever can get root access for my g1.
It's a continental version (comes from Australia if i'm not mistaken) -STG RC8-
I've tried downgrading it and followed every instruction on the web to no avail.
So if somebody is willing to help, please tell me, i really want to get root access.
Thanks!

Tried it bro...typed
cd /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1:*
in terminal emulator

i tried:

-> cd /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1:1
-> cd /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1:2
-> cd /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1:3
-> cd /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1:4

but all returned can't cd to /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1:*

so i can't advanced to the next step. STUCK! Am i doing something wrong? did i miss something?

Hey grazy, i want to thank u again for this little tutorial u gave me.


I'm now able to try the different roms.
I tried JF's, The Dudes', Cyanogen, Google Ion, Ravange-Ramjet and currently on Hero 1.4 with apps2sd working!

Thank u again

Haha...me excited noob! Kekke...almost bricked my g1 yesterday, luckily i found a way to flash it back!
Haha...yeah, i saw the superHERO beta1. But from what i read, it was super buggy.
Hero 1.6 is out but the download link doesn't work.
Hey, what's ur gtalk add?
can i add u?

guys, have question for u.
i'm currently on hero, and after 2 days of testing it, i find it too slow for practical use. yes, it's visually eye catching but it also lags.
So i'm thinking of going back to the dudes rom.

Grazy, i noticed that u were testing his 1.3 right? How is it so far?

Anyway, my question is,
1. when i flashed HERO, i also ran the auto lucid script and hero speed up script. Will i have to use auto lucid again for the dudes rom?

2. what happens to my apps2sd? do i have to do it all over again or can i just flash the dudes and after that start downloading apps from the market and all the apps will be transferred to my ext2 automatically? if not, what should i do?

Thank u in advance guys!

Thank u so much for the help guys!
i'm on my way to flash to dudes.

btw, grazy, i saw on the themes section on xda, that there's a really nice theme for the dudes rom. have u tried that? it's called ANDROID PLUS if i'm not mistaken. just wondering if u've ever tried it and 1 more thing how would u install a theme? sorry for my noobnesss! Haha! I'm learning everyday from u guys.

Hye, ive been using dis phone for quite some time now and i've never needed to buy any apps at all. so for those who are wondering, MOST of the apps are free.

u can also get some *ahem* ones if u know where to search. <--- BUT U DIDN'T HEAR THIS FROM ME.

add me at gtalk.

Added on June 22, 2009, 7:35 amI wouldn't want to sound like a know it all but think of it this way (my personal opinion):

ANDROID: Very new OS, going through a lot of development OPEN SOURCE (anything is possible), anybody can create a software.

IPHONE: Been here for quite sometime now (3++yrs???), apps controlled by apple.

So my conclusion (again PERSONALLY) if u like to experiment, tweak, hack, mod etc ur phone, go with the android, the possibilities are endless but if u are an end user, only install apps and use, then the iPhone would be more suitable as u may brick ur droid if u have no knowledge what so ever.
But don't get me wrong, the android also has a software market which like somebody already said in earlier posts contains more than 70% free software (not really sure). Compared to the iPhone though, i think the android's apps need just a lil bit more time to be as developed (PERSONAL opinion again).

Mind u, I have both the iPhone 3g and the HTC Dream, I'm not saying pizzas taste better than steaks. They are 2 different platforms, my best advice for those of u who are indecisive between the android platform or apple's OSX, go to a shop, and test both of em. Of course, u won't be able to test the custom firmwares like The Dudes, Ion and a whole lot more for the android which i think personally kicks the iphone's ass big time (keep in mind that i own both of em) but at least u'll have a slight experience with it.

Hope this helps.

Grazy, i confirm that HTC DREAM CAN flash to the latest SPL (HBOOT-1.33.2005) cos i'm using it right now!

Pet project? What is it? VERY INTERESTED!
