Once you have rooted your phone, you can flash to any rooted ROM... RC33, ADP1, Cupcake 1.5, Hero, etc

does it matter if i am already running the CRB43 build?
Sorry, missed where you said "stock" in the first message. So do you want to unroot and go back to the official software? In that case, flash the DREAIMG.NBH file again, then wait for the OTA update.
If that's not what you want.. Clarify, I'm confused.
well i was able to flash the phone back to RC29 i was rooting the phone but i stupid ass loads the new SPL that was for the HERO rom and now the phone is officially bricked no recovery mode or rainbow screen haha..!! fudge!...im thking of going to the tmobile store and just say i accidentally dropped it and phone shut off and when i turned it on it was stuck??? i did pre order the mytouch...but yeah man last night turned out to be a disaster now im stuck with a blackberry pearl for now lol.. thanks tho at least we learn from out mistakes
You can also try playing dumb and just say that there was a new update available and you hit OK, then the screen went blank and now it won't turn back on...

haha yeah thats actually a good one..but the phone stuck on the TmobileG1 splash, the is still under warranty so im thinking it would cover it..i got it 2 months ago i believe
Good luck with it, most people seem to be able to get a new phone.
There's also an entire thread about this just a few under yours: Lying to T-Mobile to Get Bricked G1 Fixed or something like that...

yeah true...i do wonder but i dont think so...everyone usually gets their share i mean..like i bring in my dead phone, theres usually a factory warranty HTC covers the damage, tmobile loses nothing since most likely they get credited for the Returned Mechandise, if its a bricked phone HTC, theyll most likely flash the chipset via Jtag or something u know...kinda crazy in a way cause what do you think might happen if there was no factory warranty
Update!
they are sending me a brand new one lol! hopefully i dont fudge this one up!

Hi everyone im new here to XDA and just got a quick question
I flashed Cyanogen 4.0.4 rom and everything works amazing!
only odd problem I have is that when I lock screen I see Rogers (operator name)
twice! really odd....
example
ROGERS
ROGERS<-----------this one never changes
-----------
Time/Date
some help with this would be greatly appreciated!
guess no ones gives a flying F***.....thanks...
ill try another rom then....
I dont want to sound like a mean idiot but, youre gonna try a new rom just because of that? How often do you study your lockscreen? If your gonna change roms just flash again id say and see what happens

I reflashed it and it didnt help...
im currently using xROM [v1.4r3], works like a charm!

Honestly I had the same issue on my phone. I flashed 2 other phones the exact same way and they did not have the same issue. Pisses me off. Its the reason I moved to Hero ROMs that don't give me the issue.
Okay guys , I am having a serious problem here. I have been going back and forward from Cyanogen's 5.0.4.1 , King's Desire and Paul's. All of a sudden last night my internet on my phone just started acting as if it were on EDGE. Not cool lol. So i waited till this morning , here in Dallas it's 11:30 am , to see what was up and it's doing the same crap . Could someone direct me as to what to do ? Is it the radio ? I have the Latest Radio. Please help someone ?

If it's a ROM issue try posting in that ROM thread. If it's not then try the Q&A.

Try a full system flatten. Wipe, flash. Don't flash the radio unless you have to as a last ditch effort.

I'm in Plano. And for some reason its back to normal.
first thing i would of done is called t-mobile or who ever your provider is and asked if there was a coverage issue in your area..
yea, i'm in arlington. this morning, i had some really terrible data speeds. it appeared to clear itself up around noon.
all normal now.
I've had my G1 since Christmas of 08 and I finally decided to root. I jailbroke my ipod touch, and I heard rooting is similar to that, so i'm up for the task. I have firmware 1.6 and build number DMD64.
What exactly do I need to do, and what is the best rom to date that is good to use?

Don't mean to be rude but did you read this before clicking New Thread?

Did you search or anything?
You won't get anyone here that's going to hold your hand or do it for you because in the twenty or so minutes that you waiting for the answer to be handed to you you could have found it for yourself by reading the above link and/or searching. So you are in actually just wasting your time posting your question. By the way since you are obviously new to XDA here's a fair warning. There are three types of people on here... those that help, those that are idle (just read but don't post) and those that need everything done for them. What kind do you think your first impression made and what kind of people do you think get flammed by the Senior Members that spend hours every week helping people like yourself by answering the same questions over and over again even after it's already been answered. And you're probably thinking "Instead of writing out this whole damn thing, why didn't he just tell me the answer?" Well because if you don't learn this way you're only going to rely on us from here on out if you are spoon fed. Again, I'm not trying to be a d!ck but if you want to make it here on XDA you have to play by the rules. Happy rooting!

A rooted phone is timeless, you can have any version of Android, whenever you want it. Therefore, it makes sense that an old thread is just as good as a new thread that has the same exact information other than the rom you flash.
Ok, I finished rooting my G1 and got to the HTC v.1.5.2 screen, now i'm going to install a rom
Thanks to all of the guides and youtube videos, I now have Manup456 Eclair 2.1 V1.5 on my G1! Just going back to put back in my ringtones and files. It's like I have a brand new phone!
Havent seen this asked yet but is there a way to root your g1 without a data plan and a data block put on your service (on ATT)

"Seen" well then you were only looking for about 2 seconds then. Google it.
wow, seriously? noone can get any help any more. everyone is just such a **** these days.
anyways, you need a data plan to root ur phone. you personally don't need it, but get a friend that has a data plan and use his SIM card for the procedure. and i'm sure there are some apps that force all data to be stopped and only allow wifi. i know my hero rom has an option to disable all data except for wifi built right in. i used hero_over. but i'm sure all hero roms have that option.

Your method is probably the most "common-sense" idea. We're not being dicks, we're just sick and tired of people not searching before posting, there's about millions of pages on google on the topic but they insist on coming here anyways. He can register through wifi with adb which most people do, so this pretty much contradicts the word "need" in your first statement. I won't carry on because I don't need to because I'd be a "****".

in anycase you're wrong, I haven't seen a question asking if you can root a phone without a data plan and a data block put on your phone.. keyword: DATA BLOCK... yes I am not an idiot.. I do search, why do alot of you seniors post on Q&A with "search please" ... just to get your post count up? Seems pretty regressive on helping people in a questions section.
Thanks to the other poster XD, but isn't there an option to get around it by entering in wifi to supplement the loss of a data plan and the addition of a data block?
Yes you can use no data plan too:

But when you really think about it, what's the point of having a Dream if you don't have a data plan? The majority of what the phone does involves intensive data plan usage, and I don't know about anybody else, but I actually use my device other than sitting at my computer.
Just my two cents.
Hey everyone
Ive just gone to install serendipidys rom onto my galaxy, looked at instructions downloaded odin off there site via the link

anyone, this is a emergency - ive tried google and looking through here but dont know were to start lol . or is there a way i can totally brick it as im in my 28days lol so can take back just the at&t looks a bit suspect lol
Not entirely sure but can you get into the 3 button download mode? (Guide in general section). Also posting in the dev section will not help as that section is for developers not for questions about phone problems.

The heat trick is a legend...made by ppl who actually have not really bricked or semi-bricked their phones (just a lucky coincidence). He'll only manage to kill his phone for real.

kinda reminds me of the old xbox has broken heat trick. if it did work i think the life of my fone would be shortened. it seems to have totally died now (guess coz cant charge) so im going to have a my fones stopped working chat. i think im still in the 28 days so hopefully they will just replace it. thanks all for the help
and sorry if seemed fussy - i know its my fault but there has always been some kind of software fix with my old htc's guess i rid on hope lol

I seem to be getting that impression too. on a worse case with any of my HTC phones i ever had i could do something to get it working. and i have had some **** ups happen. this was a stupid mistake and im sure on a forum where we have oms posted for both i cant be the first person to click the wrong one as im getting the idea they are simular but hey its a brick now. so carphonewarehouse i go. and just hope they cant switch it on and see the at&t screen lmao.
I had a similar result a couple of weeks back after trying to flash hardcore's speedmod kernel CWM version in Odin - not very sensible...
Couldn't get into download mode at all. After panicking for a couple of hours, I removed the battery for 2 hours, reinserted it and all was good - i.e., got download mode back.
Worth a try, you're not going to make it any worse. Hopefully... Good luck.
