Hi all, I have an untouched Hero / Tmobile G2. I'm wanting to put modaco's 1.5 rom on it.
I've downloaded the 1.5 rom to my desktop but thats are far as i've got!
Can someone give me a quick idiots guide as to what to do next? I don't need to root as 1.5 will do that for me i believe? But i do want to backup just in case .
Help!!

i meant it when i said i dont know **** about those stuff.
i am from israel and i bought the O1 from orange company in hebrew languang.
it is 2.2.1 android
Settings ---> About Phone ---> Software Version
Only v10b is root-able. If you have other version you gotta downgrade to v10b.
lg-p500-v10d

I believe you can do it with Superoneclick

you cannot root 2.2.1
you can find all the info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875881
basically find an original LG firmware for your country that is 2.2 (v10b). Then flash phone using flash tool from emergency mode with firmware.
Once you have the original 2.2 rom on the phone, grab Z4root app and then easy to root phone.
Next step is custom rom like cyanogenmod 7 etc if you want real performance! start reading! (alot)
Has anyone tried SuperOneClick to root the O1? They say that it can root any version of Android. Is that true with O1?
No,only 2.2 is rootable for now
I suggest that you read the thread given below

The instructions are well explained there.

Once you root your phone immediately install the recovery. Don't play with a rooted handset if it is not having recovery. Otherwise you will end up in a boot loop and its really hard to get phone back in working condition(in case something goes wrong).
Be very carefull while installing recovery. Crosscheck twice before you push anything to handset.
Chat with me on g talk my I'd is [email protected]....

you can root with this. I did it

can you install CM or amon recovery and and custom rom on P350?
Hey guys,
I know, there are several tutorials who explain, how to root a HTC Legend HBOOT 1.01.
I created a goldcard successfully, but now, the tutorial I want to use, this one, tells me in its second step, I should already have a rooted phone, but I'm using the tutorial to root this phone ?!
How should I already have a rooted phone in a tutorial which tells me how to root it?
Btw, next step of the tutorial is, to downgrade the legend to 1.31.
Can I use this tutorial too? [HOWTO] DOWNGRADE to 1.31 which you can then root for Legend 2.1
Please, can someone bring me back on the right way, I am confused and read too much different tutorials, don't know which one to follow now.
My target is a working CM7 with CWR on my mates legend.
Nobody can help me? Plz, just a link might help...
Quick intro
Hi
you need a Legend with version 2.1 of Android if you want to root your phone - and part of the 2.1 software suite includes RUU ver.1.31 which is the last version allowing us to upload to our own devices.
1. First you make a goldcard making it possible to downgrade your otherwise locked firmware in your phone as your goldcard unlocks Android 2.2 on your Legend.
2. Then you install Android 2.1 which includes RUU 1.31 making it possible to upgrade/update/exchange the ROM as you please as it is locked in later versions after version 1.31.
3. You find a good ROM on and follow one of the many guides on this page TO THE LETTER - ROM on sdcard and so on
4. Flash, Enjoy and press Thanks to the people who gave you the ROM
Hi Guys
Currently trying to root my Legend (after downgrading to 1.31), and put on a custom ROM.
All has went great so far but I'm at the stage of needing the "Legend Rooting Tools"...none of the download links I can find anywhere work (everywhere seems to point to the same place!)
Can anyone give me a working link to download the Rooting Tools?
Cheers
only just spotted your post, but if you still have a problem then this link could help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208377&highlight=h-boot+1.00
but be advised that it is for h-boot 1.00 Legends (forum also has tutorials for 1.1 etc)
So i wanted to install and Custom ROM, total noob in that.
Basically i found like hundreds of different guides of how to do so step-by-step but there are way too much different guides so im getting confused..
Anyone can link me to the easiest and fastest, not confusing, guide?
I've got European EVO 3D ( Estonian provider Elisa ), HBoot is 1.49.00018, everything is Stock, nothing ever changed or modified so far..
What i want to do is Unlock/Change hboot to older version if that is needed atm and put some custom ROM, so could anyone help me to find a helpful and simplified guide?
I haven't tried any of the guides so far, since every guide is most likely very confusive in some part, like one starts with guide how to change ANY hboot version to 7 one, but in same guide guy says that 9 and 18 hboot users should use other guide and links to it,
