Rooting the SPL 1.76.0009

Hey everyone..
U need to thank Orange_24 for this..
It took me a WHILE (3 hours of seaching intense) to find out how to root the 1.76.0009 so i thought i would make a new thread to help people .. but i found it deep in a forum in here

THIS METHOD WILL DELETE ALL DATA ON YOUR PHONE! Proceed at your own risk!

1. Download RUU linked above.
2. Install update using RUU.
3. Turn on phone and connect to computer.
4. Get RA recovery and SPL also linked above and drop them to sdcard root directory.
5. Run SDK: adb shell
6. Install recovery: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
6. Turn off phone and turn on again holding Power+Home. RA Recovery should appear.
7. Flash zip from sdcard.
8. Use file: update-hboot-1762007-signed
9. Done. PSPL broken.
10. Build a shrine for orange_24

I did this to mine and it worked ..
Bowing before the community

EDIT:
since many people have problems with windows 7 an windows 7 x64 i will thank the LayZeeDK for writing this so i dont have to ..
First install HTC Sync. Then try these drivers: http://www.multiupload.com/RJRAYM75A2

Start > Devices and Printers > Right click 'Android Phone' > Properties > Click 'Hardware' tab > Press the one with 'Disk drives' type > Properties > Update Driver... > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer > Have Disk... > Pres 'Browse...' > Browse to the drivers in the folder 'Vista_x64' to which I linked above e.g. 'C:\Users\Lars\Desktop\Vista_x64' > OK > Choose 'My HTC' or whatever it shows

Seems that the drivers in Vista_x64 worked for USB/Sync/RUU connection and the drivers in USB_MODEM_VISTA works for ADB connection. ADB is changed through Device Manager (Right Click 'Computer' > Manage > Device Manager).

TO ROGERS
mbk.2k3 wrote this so all credit goes to him! ..
to help the rogers folks: i had updated using the official Rogers update and thought i was stuck with the perfected SPL

I used the following method to get back my root (http://rootyourmagic32a.blogspot.com...htc-magic.html).
follow every step carefully.
then i downgraded radio and got an engineering SPL on using the following method (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=605239)

i used adb shell heavily. it was daunting at first but once i got into it, it was smooth sailing and you build your confidence quickly (good for noobs like us)

..

if u cant use fastboot commands it means you have a perfected SPL

this will root and and change SPL to an Engineers SPL

with an Engineer's SPL there will be no limitations

..

i don't exactly know what u mean but this certainly works.. an i have used fastboot several times with it

..

Very long ago, thanks Orange_24

Also, typo: "Engeeneers SPL 1.76.0007" should be "Engineer's SPL 1.76.2007"

BTW, you didn't need a goldcard for this?

Click to collapse

i didn't make goldcard .. thats why i did the long search for finding a method that didn't require me to do it

Very long ago, thanks Orange_24

as i said.. just to make new thread with it and lower the search time.. that's why there was put in the Build a shrine for Orange_24 in there

glad that you found my thread then ^^..

yea.. but i dont know why u should go back to the 1.33?

1.76 are for the new rom's

^^ your right its better to stay on 1.76.2007 but i decided to try out CyanogenMod CM5.0.7 and i'm loving it

Click to collapse

yea you are right. CyanogenMod are some very good roms. but when he removed market from his newer roms i went over and found some other roms

hey

The Rogers update uses this perfected SPL correct? If so glad that a workaround has been found finally.

Question though: can I go back and forth freely? ie. if i follow the steps, root my phone, try a new ROM, and later want to go back to the Rogers update.

Thanks in advance!
