Hi guys,
First of all I want to tell you guys that I dont have any knowledge in using android OS. So it would be very kind of you if you guys can provide a video tutorial of upgrading the android 1.6 to 2.1 and rooting it.
I am familiar with flashing and customizing windows mobile but I know android is entirely different from that. I hope someone can provide the video tutorial.
Thanks and regards,
Bobby Thomas.
I dont think theres a video out there, tho theres alot of guides around, trust me its really easy rookies do it without ant problems u just need to fallow every step.
Sent from my GT540
I will try and make one for you!
Thats when i get my gt540 back.
In about 1 week
That ok?

This is a kind of video tutorial.. hope this will help u
i can make a tut-video at this evening around 21 CET/MEZ if u wish to.
ok, working on it.
e2: rendering the video, but i have to say: my english isnt the best, but its "understandable" we in germany call this "denglisch"
tada.
Thank you guys...
First of all I want to thank DonPanda for the nice video, I also want to thank jealumalai111462, m4nu4l for there valuable suggestions. And most importantly I'm expecting a video tutorial from one of our senior members flyboyovyick.
Regarding the DonPanda's video, I didn't clearly understand the KDZ updater program part as the program was in russian, and also the rooting part. It will be very helpful if you can provide a close up of the various task that we will need to do in the "handset". I couldn't follow anything that you did with the mobile.(I'm sorry to tell you that I am so dumb in android.) And thank you guys for the nice support.
More over I just want to know whether flashing custom ROM can brick the phone? What all steps should I be careful in that case?
Thanks and Regards,
Bobby Thomas.

First u have to download the ROM u want to install. The ending of the file is .KDZ like an *.exe but.. ye... .kdz
After u download the .kdz file, put it in a folder where ever u want. Start the Windowsenabler.exe from the .zip-file in that thread.
Second start the KDZ_FW_UPD.exe and choose the in step 1 downloaded .kdz file during pressing the "folder open" button.
After u did this, and ur phone has "Debugging mode" active (Settings -> Applications -> development -> USB Debugging [Check]), pres the field with the many "??? ? ? ? ????? ?????" twice.
The .kdz (ROM) extract itself and install ur costumrom on ur device.

After the new 2.1 Android is installed, reboot ur phone, reset usersettings to fabric standard (Settings -> Privacy -> reset bla).
Download This file, extract to anywhere, connect ur phone via debug and start the "root.bat" file.
Ur phone restarts shortly and vuala, ur device is rooted.

Well, there is everytime a basic risk while flashing ur device. No one can say "ye, it will work for u" or "no, please don't do it!"
Normally the public product works on every Smartphone. As i said - normally.
In percent under 3 %, but... 3 % is much.

U cant do anything. When u'r phone finally bricks, its broken.
In this case u can open a thread here in XDA-board and post ur problem like here and here. As u can see we got nice members who help with handshake.

ok i had a screenshot app...on my cyanogen rom...then i switched2jachero...and its gone...does anyone know how to get it back
Not sure if this is the same app, but it works. Extract the zip, don't rename.
im not sure if your allowed to post this.
I would remove this, as it is a paid app on the market.
You can use DDMS thru SDK to take screenshots of your Dream.
Guys, this is the version of the app that was free on the market. I believe the developer is now charging for an updated version of the app. I can't remember the thread, but I got this apk from someone who posted it here. If someone tells me otherwise I would happily remove it, it's not my intention to spread warez.
Yes, considering its a paid app.....you should not be posting it. If its in cynogens rom, use his rom.

So it's warez in one ROM, but not another? Not trying to sound like an ass, but it's hard to understand that logic. Anywho I have removed it, to make people happy...
EDIT : Looks like this app appeared on softpedia as freeware.
where is the option in cynogens ROM?
i can tell you where to get the app and no i will not provide the download. i will tell you where it is and it is on this forum.
no idea what he smoking, no such option in cyans mod.
unless its sdk?
idk
No option in that rom i bet he had it installed and never backed it up.
can somebody help me cuz i had to try n take a screenshot N it said "error running exec(). commands:[su,-c,sh] Working Directory :null environment: null"
can somebody tell me watt dat mean n can u help me

When it gave a su request you chose "always allow" right?
but it doesnt ask me dat
Is your phone even rooted?! If it's not, the app won't work and you will need to use the SDK to take screenshots using DDMS.
no i dont have a root well where can i get the sdk n da ddms

Dear RDilus !
You should give credit to arekl1988r at modaco. You are using the script made by him.
ht*tp://android.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=319192&view=findpost&p=1431781
The rooting method for the 2.1 os was found out by me :
ht*tp://android.modaco.com/content-page/310737/how-to-root-your-lg-gt540/page/80/
ht*tp://android.modaco.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=318843&view=findpost&p=1421620
You are using other people's findings as your. You create an exe from these jobs.
By the way 1click root , 1 click app2sd exist at modaco. Just search for it.

theres no official ROM because there hasn't been a need for Samsung to release one and because very few people have this device which is an amazing device, its not been leaked either
Tell me, what do you mean by you have installed a custom ROM 8779? that OS version isn't available to us, we have only 8773 from MS
To my knowledge There are no custom ROMs, there are no official ones, there are no OS dumps, there is no access to use the download mode, or change the bootloader, there is however limited access to the diagnostic mode, parts of the EFS, parts of the RAM and several other low level areas of the device outside of the OS

yes, its my focus s , i bought it on taobao(a famous Shopping website in china )
its with custom rom(8779) when i got it.
you know some developers made the custom roms for sale(maybe just in our country)
i cant get the rom , they wont share them
i cant upgrade my phone too (the wp 7.8)
so i want to rollback
the other way to upgrade my phone is send my phone to the dev
my English is poor, maybe there are some mistakes. i hope you can know what i say

very interesting, and your English is fine
there are three possibilities
1, Its faked, its so easy to change that info screen
2, its real but they didn't install a custom ROM, they have gained access to the 7889 CAB files and updated the OS manually
3, its real and they updated the ROM somehow
if you would mine could you try and dump the ROM, using QPST Here
its not easy to use and don't ever hit any buttons marked "write" if you want to help ill type up instructions, but essentially you need to make sure the SPC is correct, then download this, then put your phone in to diagnostic mode using the diagnostic tool, add the COM port to QPST and connect to the phone, click start clients, then software download, click multi image, then fill in where you want it and click start, your phone should restart in to a download mode and after that I don't know what will happen, to get out of the download mode you just unplug and hold the power button until it turns off.
ill write a more detailed guide if you want to help

very interesting, and your English is fine
there are three possibilities
1, Its faked, its so easy to change that info screen
2, its real but they didn't install a custom ROM, they have gained access to the 7889 CAB files and updated the OS manually

To stop the Demo demonstrations, you have to install ROOT WP7 TOOLS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867048
Then in explorer you have to go to the Startup folder (windows\StartUp) you have to create a new folder and copy all files except RetailDemoService.lnk.
Then in Registry, you have to go to shortcuts folder (Local Machine\System\Explorer\Shell Folders) and change the StartUp file, change the value data from \Windows\StartUp\ to \Windows\StartUp\new\.
After this restart the device.
I hope i helped and I'm sorry the bad English.

Can you help me to find the CAB?
I am trying to follow your guide. But from what I have already read, don't we need do a "INTEROP-UNLOCK" to even run the wp7 root tool?

Hey Dazza, I wish you guys the best in finding a way to develop a custom rom. I myself am trying to help get custom roms for my Dell Venue Pro. Anyways, I have this Samsung Focas S that has a demo and I want to disable it as of Ricardox6 instructions. I just did the windowsbreak, but I want to know do I install now that XAP Deployer or can I just jump straight to the wp7 root tool?
thanks again

LOL , sorry I didn't see your full reply. Ok so I Will stop at the wp7 root tool. I hope I can install this xap deplorer.
...heheh Ok I am really lost in how to get XAP Deplorer on to the phone. Also Xap Handler says to install WP7 Root Tools first . So I don't know which way or how to do this. If you don't mind giving me some simple instructions. I would greatly appreciate it. I already got the windowbreak done.

I am new to this forum, i saw n registered it today on date 10/NOV/12.
To be exact am completely new to these tech things, today only i came to know tat i can update my galaxy s gt-i9000 cell's OS from 2.3.3 to 4.0.
As i told before am complete newbie to these things n i dont use internet alot. The only thing i want is to update my galaxy S1 OS to 4.0 n if possible i want to make it little faster.
PLZ TEL ME HOW TO DO IT IN STEP BY STEP DETAILS AS IF YOU R MY MOTHER AND IAM YOUR 5 YEAR OLD CHILD.
I KNW NOTHING ABOUT THE THINGS I HAV MENTIONED ABOVE.
I WANT TO KNOW EVERY THING ABT IT. PLZ HELP ME MY FELLOW BROTHERS FROM ANOTHER MOTHERS
I ll be waiting
i am waiting for ur reply.. i hope to talk with u guys sooner.
I was like u couple of weeks ago. Didnt knew nothing. Total noob. But what can I say. Read the forums and use Google. Enough info there. All your questions have already been answered
No need to let people tell u what 2 do. Especially not in a way u would tell a 5 year old child. Sounding kinda lazy, if you ask me. Search and make a little effort since u already did some research. I would say do some more.
And if u really want it, u can even upgrade your OS to 4.1.x (jelly bean)
