HTC band wagon..........

[Jay]

Have you uninstalled HTC Sync? You're meant to install it to get the drivers loaded, then uninstall the HTC Sync program so it doesn't interferer with the rooting process, it will leave the drivers installed.

The issue is no device is being detected
ADB no device?
Hardware detection (device manager) HTC its there, but can't hook up to device with ADB?
I think I need a driver specific or its my USB cable there are some issues that people have found simular, but I dont have the time to dick about its supoosed to be simples but the hardware and software are giving me grief!
Set the phone into USB debuggin mode
Installed HTC drivers for Magic and EVO both tried failed.
Fastboot is on the phone got that far, but cannot hook or sync for that matter?
SD card I can access just not the fastboot!
Tried mounting unmounting tried force stopping the DOS shell and rebooting nada?

I'd try another cable if you have one, I'd have installed HTC Sync 2 for the drivers, removed the HTC Sync program.

Once the wrong drivers installed it's a PITA to get the correct drivers on, are you using XP?
Search USB Brick for your phone, might help find a way to revert to different drivers.

Okay I'm trying to use the APK flash method Jay and right away it states back up failed?
Last chance saloon super oneclick method this has to work?

Yeah rooted third method works a treat custom roms here I come!!!!!!
Haaa it worked for about one recovery boot!
I can't get to the manual boot to load roms now?
I took a risk to use clockwork ROM manager and it rooted its self in the phone as a super user things were going so well!

[Jay]

Make sure you have the clockworkmod update.zip file on your SD card when going into recovery

[clipperjay]

What zip doc was that from? Clockwork generated or the custom Rom?
One other thing when it does system wipe what does it actually wipe? because my issue is if it does a wipe will clockwork just recover with the new rom after boot?
Just relalised Clockwork mod doesn't work.
It can't manually update the actuall reset was Android stock reset menu.
Back to looking for a another recovery program.
I still think the issues are the radio and SL versions if I can flash them down to lower version all would be good in theory?
 

[Jay]

You need the clockworkmod update.zip for your phone (I don't think they're universal files) which your phone will boot into when you hold down the key combo when power it on and go into the recovery menus. After that you will go into the Clockworkmod recovery where you can do a 'nandroid' type backup as it's called and flash new ROMs.

Jay it just doesn't work on the magic G1 Ram issues!
I have super user previlages now, but finding a decent Rom flash manager is the issue!
I've tried going back to SDK DOS route but my comp just cannot locate the device for direct manipulation!
Clockwork is too much for the G1
Any other suggestion? The CM requires via USB so stuck as I can only use the superuser rooted method?
 

[Jay]

If I had the time to sort it out I'd say send it to me, but I don't have much spare time

The only other thing I can suggest is trying another XP PC to see if it recognises it or struggle to get the drivers off your current pc.
