Now that the dust has settled, it's time for a new CM build..

This is a heavily modified version of AOSP 1.6 without the proprietary bits (which will back up your proprietary bits and restore them after installing the ROM). In order to get up and running the first time, you'll need to follow some simple instructions. A great set of documentation has been put together by the community at the CyanogenMod Wiki. Everything you need to know is there!

But first..

Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
 * Your warranty is now void.
 *
 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
 */

The Android devices we own come with many files that can't be redistributed legally, and as you all probably know, I can no longer include these with my ROMs. So, in order to get up and running, you'll need a compatible device with a compatible ROM.

Installation Guide @ CyanogenMod Wiki:: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Main_Page#How_do_I_upgrade_to_the_latest_CyanogenMod.3F

* Based on Android 1.6, many bugfixes and enhancements from AOSP, XDA, and me
* Custom art and wallpapers from Prash
* Highly optimized kernel with many extra modules

* Clean filesystem shutdown at poweroff/reboot, and fsck at boot (no FS corruption!)
* Includes Amazon MP3 store, and Work Email (MS Exchange support)

So let me get this strait for the noobs...

edit: revised my steps since I learned that what HTC refers to as a "recovery image" is different than what we do so that caused a LOT of confusion for me and i'm sure it did to a lot of other people! On the HTC website the recovery image is the same as an update.zip so basically it's just an update you need to apply that's all.

Here's my step by step process that I used going from CM 4.1.11.1 to 4.1.99

I have CMRecovery Image 1.4

-Go to http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
-DL the 1.6 "recovery image" the file name is - signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip
-Then DL CyanogenMod-4.1.99
http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/expe....99-signed.zip
-put them both on your SD card
-Boot up into CM recovery image 1.4 by rebooting and holding the home button, do a wipe.
-update using any zip to that "recovery image" (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip)
(it should auto reboot install radio then reboot again and load back up to the CMrecovery img screen)
-Then update any zip usig CyanogenMod-4.1.99 (update-cm-4.1.99-signed.zip)
-Then power on the phone

-Very simple! the rom is running great so far and I'm glad that's it's going to be even easier to update to future CM updates using CM updater

Just to make sure, if you have 4.1.11.1 do you have to flash the ADP rom then the new rom, or can you just go from 4.1.11.1 to 4.1.99?

Meh, I always hate flashing the radio. But what's necessary is necessary I guess. I suppose it's possible to simply copy the required files over and resign?

First off good to see you back!!! Nice to see that it was user friendly to flash this as well. Hope to see 4.2 out soon cause this rom is pretty stable so far. No home screen loads as of yet. Great work!

The backup/restore process is automatic and built into my ROM's installer. If it detects that you have a compatible base image, it will backup/restore the necessary files.

I just want to make sure I'm 100% clear - the ION image is what I should do for my 32B, right?

Also - won't it nuke the custom recovery environment?

Has anyone with a MyTouch3G been able to install the ROM?

I downloaded the HTC ION ROM and checked the MD5, so far so good. I copied it over to the SD card, renamed it update.zip, and tried to install it in recovery mode. However, I get the following error:

getprop("ro.build.product") == "sapphire"
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (Status 7)
Installation aborted.

Download the "1.6 Recovery Image" from HTC, flash it. it will also flash you radio
Reboot back into recovery. Then flash my ROM.

here was my process:

- Start from Cyanogen 4.1.11.1
- Flash ADP stock "recovery" zip
- Radio flashes, phone asks for reboot
- Phone automatically reboots to recovery (still CM 1.4 recovery), flash Cyanogen 4.1.99
- Reboot without a wipe
- Google apps exit right after start (Market, Gmail)
- Reboot, wipe
- Perfection :)

So do a wipe when coming from CM 4.1.11.1. Then again, I forgot to fix_permissions...

    I'm up and running! You guys are awesome!
    Glad to hear you got it going ...... now drink a beer or sparkling water ..whatever your fancy

    That makes sense to me. But its a paid app so I don't think the author would post the apk on his site. But anyway, its just a Task manager. I can always use another one. Just that Advanced Task Manager worked best.

    But 4.2.3.1 worked beautifully except for that one app and for the fact that after installing 2-3 apps, I have to restart phone or I get the 'Installation Error' problem.
    You could wait for an update. My market let me install some of the protected apps I lost when I wiped my ext3 when there were updates (before that the buttons for open and uninstall were greyed out).

    HTC 1.6 Base images

    ...A.K.A HTC "Recovery images"

    Guys I know there are new links up and live, but I thought I might add a few more for convenience and diversity (uploaded to RS).
    I know the ADP one works for sure and is rooted.
    The Dream one is the one that's been floating around, and is also available here

    ****************************************
    HTC Dream image
    md5sum: b3e12b004c155761a10b1a848288e0c3

    HTC ADP image (rooted base)
    md5sum: 9725b0334de45d678221b626f90e6703

    ****************************************

    They will be available as long as I maintain my RS account, so till January 21st for sure. Let's hope we don't need them anymore by that time ;)
