Installing CyanogenMod ROM

Troubleshooting

Wipe

If you are having issues after installing the ROM - for example, keyboard constantly crashing - try:

1. Boot into recovery
2. Select Wipe
3. Select Wipe data/factory reset
4. Select Wipe cache
5. Select Wipe Dalvik-cache

CyanogenMod 6 doesn't wipe the system partition (to allow keeping the branded system apps), which might cause the partition to be full. If this happens, you can do:

1. Connect the device via USB
2. Boot in fastboot mode (Press BACK while turning it on)
3. On your computer do fastboot erase system
4. Repeat 'Installing CyanogenMod ROM' above

CyanogenMod 5 QWERTZ Keyboard

• DangerSPL changes all keyboards to QWERTY layout; if the HTC Dream has a QWERTZ keyboard, run the following commands:

  adb remount

  adb shell

  bash -c 'cp /system/usr/keylayout/{trout-keypad-qwertz.kl,trout-keypad-v3.kl}; cp /system/usr/keychars/{trout-keypad-qwertz.kcm.bin,trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin}'

  NOTE: This has been fixed & is not necessary in CyanogenMod 6.

5.0.8 Patch

NOTE: All of the items listed here are already included in CyanogenMod 6

• Bidi text patch: This causes text in various applications such as Kindle and ConnectionBot to appear garbled; to fix simple download cm-5.0.8-DS-bidifix-signed.zip from this bug report; place on the root of your SD card and flash via recovery
• exploid exploit security patch: As those that have rooted with Androot or exploid may realize the core android system had a root exploit; this has been patched as of CyanogenMod 6-RC3 however is not included in CyanogenMod 5.

This is the fix to the exploid root exploit used on many android phones currently on the market.

= About the patch =

It is basically a back-port of http://github.com/Cy...f2c35ab2cbcc151

Flashing this zip will replace your boot images ramdisk with one with a patched init to prevent the exploit. The rest of the system (including kernel; and the kernel command line) will remain unchanged. So this should work on all CM5.0.8 DS systems; Including EBI0, EBI1 and MTD custom partitions installs.

Thanks to koush's AnyKernel and Firerat's custom MTD partitions scripts for the theory and binaries used to modify the existing boot image with the new ram disk.

(actual diff to CM eclair source can be found on pastebin)

= Checking if you have the patch installed =

To check if your cm5.0.8-DS system is already patched (or to validate its already patched) you can do the following from the booted cm5.0.8 system:

A) Run the adb command: adb shell md5sum /init
*OR*
B) from the command line on your phone run 'su' to become root then 'md5sum /init'

If you have stock CM5.0.8 you will see:

ezterry$ adb shell md5sum /init
61dd800b52d57cc916705891edccd8fe  /init

If you have my patch:

ezterry$ adb shell md5sum /init
8b55b39bd4d3ead6c108735fc8992e7e  /init

Other MD5 sums means you have a different binary installed.

= Installing =

Simply download the attached zip file; place on the root of your SD card; and flash from recovery as normal.
