this hack brought to you by dream_kill, and myself.

edit: for those of you that don't know how to get to SPL 1.33.2005 i recommend reading here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532224 (under Rooting Rogers).

(note: this is for the dream, the method works for the magic you just need to flash a magic compatible recovery.img)

This requires that you use SPL 1.33.2005. (this is safe on all rogers dream devices.)

so if you don't have that already, go get it here.

once you are at SPL 1.33.2005 (AND ONLY THEN)
download this
(md5: 4a58a5702fdf899547011888d9cc066f .. sha1: 99e38e4f8798e952e67421a42e7b053ea70957b7)

extract both images wherever you'd like.

IMPORTANT: make sure you have the rom you'd like to install in the root of your sd card as update.zip (YOU WILL NOT HAVE A ROM INSTALLED AFTER YOU COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING STEPS, YOU WILL HAVE TO USE THE UPDATE.ZIP TO GET ONE)

boot into spl and fastboot (power off, hold camera button, power on, press the back arrow to get into "fastboot" mode)

type in the following:

fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

POWER OFF (not reboot, power it off) THE DEVICE. (you can do this using the corresponding button [it says it on the screen] or just pull the battery [make sure everything is done flashing of course])

(if you don't boot into recovery or accidentally rebooted, just pull the battery [if you notice top left it should read "FASTBOOT" or "FASTBOOT USB" if it's plugged in] you're not bricked, you just need to access recovery, not standard boot ;P)

now hold down the HOME button and power it on, you should boot into recovery mode now, go ahead and ALT+S to flash your rom, and enjoy! now you can flash anything you see in the forums

EDIT:
So i noticed people were talking about reverting back (not sure why you'd want to :P)
Regardless, heres the original radio (3.22.20.17) and the original recovery (WARNING: UNROOTED) from rogers dream:
http://www.stevebirstok.com/android/losemyroot.zip

fastboot flash radio rogersradio.img
fastboot flash recovery rogersrecovery.img
fastboot erase system -w

and flash the update.zip found somewhere on this forum ;P

EDIT 2:
as far as this ram / memory loss goes:
C:\Users\haykuro\Desktop>sha1sum radiog1.img radioion.img
14163559b04ba8c9daead5e34465ebf5bafa7bd1 *radiog1.img
14163559b04ba8c9daead5e34465ebf5bafa7bd1 *radioion.img

radiog1.img is the radio.img i provide in the givemeroot.zip, radioion.img is straight off here there are no specific radios between 32A and 32B boards, so that isn't why you're losing memory. i'm trying to figure it out, so if anyones willing to do some testing and post results, please do so.

nice! a whole new crop of modders inbound

cheers

Trying this right away .. no words ... thanks again H !!

EDIT: well not RIGHT away ... need a rom lol

newbie question................Will this fix the iptables issue to allow for tethering?

Thanks alot, this is awesome, Will I be able to flash 32b roms onto my 32a rogers magic? Anything goes??

I believe the ROM image contains everything including kernel. So if the kernel in the ROM is IPtables enabled ... you bet

Awesome job Hay!

Now... What is that radio and where does it come from? Will I still be able to get HDSPA on Rogers Bands with this?

Thanks haykuro.

Anything is good as long as it expands the android community on XDA.
