So much help

Let me get this straight, I want to install the recovery recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img without rooting the device. I am currently on T-Mobile 2.73.110.26 Build Number and doing it with methods I have read seem to be blocked. Anyone know of a guide that can show me how to get the recovery tool onto the phone easy.

CONGRATULATIONS - you have won the prize for the most useless and unhelpful first post ever. And I must tell you that you were up against some strong opposition, but for shear stupidity you can't be beaten.

WTF???

Flashrec.apk
To flash the recovery image follow this guide: theunlockr(dot)com/2009/08/27/how-to-root-your-htc-hero-in-one-click/

It's alright I got it, used the Goldcard method.

Ask "The dutchman".
But don´t mind if he will "kill" you - because he is searching for a NL RUU for now about 2 Month.
You won´t be lucky until teh HTC update.
lol
@dutchman - just kidding. hehe
I have an unbranded (HTC) device. May work with yours 2. I can extract it if you want.
Great idea and post it on the FTP here ;-)

You can extract it, but you will not be able to flash it to your device.

can you please explain that. What's the point of extract if you cant re-install from the extracted files
Anders
You CAN flash it back, but only when your device is not bricked. You can use the dump to edit the pagepool i believe, or to cook, but i'm not sure (i'm a little bit of a noob when it comes to ROM dumps)

To think of it, I just gave my Herald to the guy I was talking about. He takes it to his work today! I also asked him to give me the RUU's for the Herald (everithing they have for it) but he's not willing to do that
(it's all classified over there lol) I even said i was willing to pay, but he would not accept it, and he did not allow me to go with him to his work. Sorry I did my very best!

You can't do anything with that RUU, it is for unbranded HTC p4350 only. It is not the vodafone ROM...

I'm living in Vietnam ...Ship'fee seem buy a new phone

Rogers G1

I just got my hands on the new G1 that's been marketed for the Canadian provider Rogers. The phone doesn't get released till wednesday.
It runs the 1.5 firmware (customized for the Rogers brand).
Wondering if anyone is interested in a dump off this phone.
Yes we are interested in a dump of that freaking phone
Please dump I will be glad to give it haykuro if you cant get in contact with him
What's the big thing about the Rodgers G1? Been hearing a lot about it on here.
It's an "official" version ROM with the HTC custom applications like Exchange. Kind of like Haykuro's 6.0, but fully working.
I'd like to know the same thing.... who says it's running anything different than the vanilla cupcake ROM?

Rogers is claiming that it's HTC branded firmware. I'm sure the OP can confirm. It's definitely not Rosie, that stuff is unreleased alpha-quality code.
I believe it's been confirmed numerous times that it has exchange from HTC since it's not a "with Gooogle" phone.
sadly every dialog is suffixed with ',eh' - all occurances of 'about' have been replaced with 'aboot,' and the 'ou' naming scheme has been implemented for words like colour.

Correct. There is no mention of "Google" anywhere on the phone. I've attached a few pictures.
But since I'm a noob at the whole android thing, I need some help dumping this ROM.
- From the searching I've done, I'm guessing that Nandroid 2.0 is the tool to use?
- Do I need root access to do a ROM dump?
Any idiot proof guides out there I can use to get this done for you guys?

Yeah it's going to need rooted for a full dump. Does it have fastboot? (power + camera)
But we also know what most of this firmware is going to be like, you can probably get away with an "adb pull /system system" and get us most of the stuff we need to start hacking on it.
Here's what the POWER+CAMERA button show

then get fastboot set up and do:

Blackberry Application Suite

Here is a link to getting it working on other phones, but i cannot get it to work on my TG01 (basically the type string remains as 'TG01' and will not change) any idea's guys?
Here's a link to the post:
*****Blackberry Application Suite******
Please help guys, there must be a simple way to change the type string.
you mean you can't change the name of the phone to HTC Raphael, as the instructions in the other topic say?
yeahh pretty much, any ideas?
no, but we should keep this thread up, so maybe someone will help us
yess definately, hopefullyy Nokser could help us out?
Anybody help us out changing the device ID?!
What exactly is going on?
You want run apps from BB to TG01?
Basically, this app allows you to run a RIM (blackberry) virtual environment (a bit like the harET for android) so you can launch and run blackberry apps.
here is how they got it working on HD2
BAS on HD2! Video Proof.
so can someone get a custom setmodelID.exe?

It may be interesting.

Please tell me that was a wind up, lol
we need a set method of getting s-off like the g2's s-off, is there anyone out there who has has success?
JD
It wasn't a wind-up. That guy has a Desire Z (he did a very comprehensive tear-down), and he's deep into s-off and hboot etc. So if anyone knows, he does. I believe he's IntuitiveNipple on IRC.
If I were you I would ask this question over on the G2 forums, where there's a lot better chance of finding someone who has done it.

This forum is near on dead of dev's, as soon as the hboot is live for both phones im hoping they will merge the two sections into HTC Vision.

Hey All,
(I'm not responsible for any damage that may be caused by flashing this)
I have a great news for all of us. I was stupid enough to test it myslef first
So, here I present You the engineering hboot for our lovely device.
It's ripped from quite old DesireZ dev rom, namely: 1.05.0.0, it laid on my drive for week or so
Here's the proof that phone booted corectly, I suggest You to backup all your data.

In this case, I'm just a delivery boy (Ah Futurama again ;-)).
