Hello,
I have my T-Mobile G1 aka HTC Dream for a few days now and would like to flash one of these pretty Hero ROMs on it. I'm totally new to Android but with a lot of work I manged to downgrade my phone, root it, installing some kind of recovery image and a HardSPL.

I will try to give as much information as possible:

First of all it's a brand new German G-1 and I started off with the following:

Firmware Version: 1.1
Baseband Version: 62.33.20.08U_1.22.12.29
Kenel Version: 2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0 android-build@apa27 #6
Build Number: 123099

DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-1.22.12.29
Sep 2 2008


After I made a Goldcard and followed this guide I success completed these steps:

Now my phone is as follows:

Model number: T-Mobile G1
Firmware version: 1.0
Baseband version: 62.33.20.08U_1.22.12.29
Kernel version: 2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0 android-build@apa27 #6
Build number: kila_uk-user 1.0 TC5-RC7 112931 ota-rel-keys,release-keys

DREA110 PVT 32B
HSPL10.95. 3000
CPLD-4
RADIO-1.22.12.29
Oct 20 2008
Serial0

I have access to Window and Linux (Ubuntu) and three 2GB microSD cards.

As I said I wanted to flash a Hero ROM to get the beautiful RosieUI however I read that one can easily brick in the process especially due to Haykuro's Danger SPL so I'm looking for someone to guide me step by step through it.

I entered my IM details in my Profile if anyone wishes to contact me that way.

I would greatly appreciate any help, I feel like I'm so close to a perfect Android Phone and just need a little push^^

Thanks for any help in advance!
