I was amazed and grateful that people were able to get the HTC PDF reader working for JF ADP roms. Is it even possible to do the same for Teeter? If someone has already figured this out, please post a link.
google teeter.apk, put it on sd, use astro to install.
Hey thanks, ricky! It froze when I first ran it, but it worked after a reboot. Thanks again.

Will someone be kind enough for all the noobs out there and post a complete video of how to get from a completely stock firmware to (well in this case) this hero build, or the newest, latest, or best working hero build. While showing the order to flash radios, spls, and such using the ADB. It will help out a lot of people trust me. And from the looks of all the noobs right now youll have so many views, subscribers, followers or whatever your motive is. Please help noobs out.

Thanks a billion. You dont know how much this will help people. Post a link here when your finished please
Since this thread is for the "noobs", I have a couple of questions to ask.
Excuse my not using the search fully. There are just so many threads and so many responses and none of them are completely clear.
If I were to root my phone with the latest Hero ROM that has flash playet 10, will I still need to upgrade the firmware to 1.5 or is this particular ROM built on 1.5 or what??
Also, does this latest Hero ROM have the famed HTC virtual keyboard or no??

Honestly idk but maybe someone will see this thread and answer that for you or you can start a new thread
There are quite a few videos out there already that show you how its done. Maybe not directly toHero but the whole process is the same - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDPFhJ9noLA
So instead of using JF 1.31, simply use the Hero ROM of your choice, rename it as "update.zip" and put it on the root of your SD card. Turn off your G1, hold the HOME button and press POWER to get into the Recovery image. Press ALT+W (to wipe) then ALT+S (to flash the ROM).
EDIT: I forgot some very crucial information >_< IF you are going to Hero from Stock you do require a few other things. Namely the new Radio and the new SPL (depending on which Hero ROM you pick). Make sure though that whatever you do, you upgrade the radio first to avoid bricking your G1. Look at my signature for links to what you need, like the Radio, SPL etc.
Wait patiently and all should be well...
@OutstandingO
Hero is basically Cupcake (1.5) but with a different interface created by HTC using custom code. So you just flash the Hero ROM of choice and that's it.

YouTube has plenty of view on rooting that's where I learned how to do it, they also have the files u need to root it right there for u to download. Just search it and u will find it. The guy who's vid I followed is tony moreno look for his bids. I don't recommend jumping from 1.1 to hero. Go from 1.0 to 1.1 then jump to 1.5. Also hero is built from 1.5. I myself have tried it but even with all the optimizing its not fast enough for me. It also has the famed HTC IME keyboard. I myself use JF 1.5 APD. With the Hero theme in the themes section with the HTC keyboard. Flash would be nice but it still has issues with speed and force closings. Like I said YouTube the rooting process and search around the thread for other stuff like and and how to use fastboot.
I forgot some crucial information, namely to upgrade the Radio first and that you might need to upgrade the SPL. Have edited my post.
That is in part something that threw me for a loop.
I've seen multiple vids for rooting but none of them seem to address this whole "Radio" issue that you brought up and the steps surrounding that. From what I have been reading this is the most important part.
I love this site but the type of people that post here are guys that already know what their doing in most cases and they speak and post as such.
So have I ever developed an app for the G1, no, but I'm not Danny Dunderhead either. I can read a set of instructions if laid out for me.
So I ask you more experienced gentlemen, can someone either post a link or give me step by step help in checking my "radio", upgrading my "radio" and then installing the ROM??
I would greatly appreciate it.
I did it! I bricked my G1!
Yeah, well...what can you do. I read over the posts here, watched youtube videos, and searched the web as well. Read and viewed everything I could until I couldn't take it anymore. Then...I tried. Tried and failed? No, tried and died.
MAN, I WANT HERO! I am more jealous with every video I see. I don't care if it's a little slow. It is pure Android beauty. But...
There is so much information out there, not just at this forum, but all over the net. And although there are many similarities between the instructions (I use that term loosely for some), many have different steps so it's hard to tell which to follow. Apparently taking what you feel are the best from each is not the way to go. Really, I'm not stupid about these things...well...
So, here is where I started; a T-Mobile G1 running the latest OTA 1.5 update and the 2.22.19.26I radio software. Used Parted Magic to create a 5GB FAT32 and a 1GB EXT2 partition on the SD card. I downloaded everything I though I would need or could find. The original boot and recovery img's along with RC29, RC30, and Cupcake zips. Then I got HardSPL and a bunch of files from Hayruko. I got JeseusFreke, CyanogenMod, and JACHero stuff. Hell, someone said to download the Telnet.apk and put it on the SD card as well. Did that. I found a great thread for installing the JACHero, but it did not go into rooting your phone first. Did that need to be done? I guessed it did. So I started there. Downgraded nicely to RC29. That was easy. Then even went through the telnet and terminal emulator steps. Then trouble. Which recovery.img to use? Some instructions reference the testkeys and some don't when rooting. Figured I would do it that way. So I went through those steps. Loaded CyanogenMods 1.3.1 and 1.33.2005 SPL on the SD card. Flashed (I thought) the recovery.img. Rebooted to get ready to install the SPL. Stuck at t-Mobile G1 now! They really do call it a brick for a reason.
So now that I got that off my chest, a few questions. First, I want to run HERO. I want it! However, I would like to make a request this time. Could someone please post step by step instructions for taking a stock G1 to the JACHero 2.3.4 release. Not just "flash the recovery and SPL" files. I would like more detailed directions. If you know of a good link to send me, please tell me. I thank you in advance for your time. I know it's a real pain in the ---, but I promise I will pass your knowledge along to another such as I!
A few questions first. I believe the steps are something like this:
1. Downgrade to RC29.
2. Copy recovery_teskeys.img and some recovery.img along with some SPL update.zip file to the SD card and "load" them properly. Which files should you use (does it matter), which order should you do it and how?
3. How do I do a Nandroid backup at this point? Do I need/want to?
4. Do I wipe now? Need to ever? Doesn't the image overwrite everything anyway?
4. Copy update.zip (the renamed JACHero 2.3.4 zip file) to the SD card and load it. Do you need to load any other image first other than JACHero 2.3.4.?
5. Enjoy HTC Hero goodness!
I know I am asking a lot, but I need the steps so I can replicate this easily. I am going to want to do this a lot based on what I see out there. Always something new to try and a lot of great developers out there. Thank you in advance for all of your time and effort. I promise to pass it along.
Please help. Advice and direction are all I am looking for. I have searched and searched for a solution but have only gotten more confused. I posted to a thread that I thought was relevent, but was quite ridiculed. Its been a while since I rooted my phone and feel like i am a noob all over again.
So when things were fine on my phone I was running cyans 4.2.1.2 (i think right around there). Wasn't fast enough, so I tried Super D's rom. Took a while, lots of wipes, but I got it up and running after making sure I had the right spl and radio files installed. But browser wouldn't work.
I am not trying to fix Super D's rom. Here's the thing. I went back to cyan, but still no browser. Wipe, wipe wipe, redo spl and radio, cyan. Still no browser, but now lost market. Nandroid! Back up restored. Browser back but no market.
Solutions I am looking for. 1. A way to fix these without a full revert. But where do I find working source files?
2. How far back do I have to go to get a rom with these included? Back to Stock 1.6? Where can I get it from?
3. I know I am only wiping from cyans recovery. I don't know how to wipe the ext, or the dalek as someone suggested rudely in another thread, and I think this might also be a fix.
Sorry to ask such a specialized question. I didn't see a how-to for reverting EVERYTHING back to stock including my Gapps. If there is let me know!
Also, if I do have to start over, is there a way to save an app I currently have? I still have the Sense version of Beautiful widgets (I never updated it after the legal mumbo jumbo from HTC) Is there a way to save it? I know if I lose it I will only be able to get the Non-Sense version now.
Thanks for taking the time to read this! Any advice would be a huge lifesaver!
It will be way easier if you update your recovery. Go to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669
and get Amon-RA 1.5.2 and follow the directions to get it installed.
Once installed, boot into recovery and wipe from there. You can wipe everything from his recovery.
Word! Thanks for the tip. I tried yesterday but I guess I didn't follow the directions right. This time I did and was successful! Now I am wiping through amon's, and re-flashing. Lets see if that works!
Once you are done, stick with Super-D for ease of install and the new version of Beautiful widgets is nice. Lots of skins for the flip clock.
sweet. Actually had my old apps too still on my sd card until I noticed the apps2sd wasn't working. Then I repartitioned. Everything running but lost the old widget. Oh well, thanks for the big save- that was easy! Market, browser, like a brand new phone only better! Thank you thank you thank you!
hi
i'm a complete novice. i got a local shop to root my t mobile g1, which they have done. The reason i wanted this is so that i could wifi tether it. however they were unable to get this next step to work. i have tried it at home through watching you tube and looking at sites like this - but no luck.
I'm seriously thinking of going back to where i was ie put it back to 1.6 and forget the tethering part. can i do this on a rooted phone, i wish i never rooted it. it cant even find linda file manager in the market anymore.
please help
i am on firmware version 1.0. any help would be appreciated. i guess i shouldn't have got involved in stuff i didn't understand!!!

First you should always do your own work so you understand whats going on. if your still on 1.0 you need to update to a newer firmware (at least 1.5 or 1.6 or even jump up to 2.1). Thats prolly why your not seeing certain things in the market and why wifi tether isnt' working. That shop sounds like they don't know what they are doing.
i know. leave things if you dont understand them. lesson learnt. how do i get back back or should i get an expert to get me back to 1.6?

Well techincally the "hard part" is done. All you need to do is find a rom that you want. Cyanogen has a stable 1.6 build that you can run. Just put the .zip on the sd card and flash and everything will start working. Let me know if you need any details on how to do anything.
hi

thanks for the advice. sorry to be dum. So a ROM on a G1 is like an operating system? So if i put on Cyanogen it will allow me to upgrade to 1.6. When you say put the .zip on the sd card you mean there will be a file called cyananogen.zip that i will have downloaded. Put it onto the SD card, and by flash you mean run the file?
sorry but all this terminology is new to me. ROM in my day was read only memory.
grateful for any simple instructions. thanks in advance

First install this recovery (all the instructions are included)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669
Then here is the thread for cyanogen's stable build with installation instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567610
And if you want to jump to a 2.1 firmware here's his that runs great
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/index....c-would-you-like-a-pony-v507-test5-05132010/?
But basically you'll download his file which will be a zip file (don't matter what its called) and put it on the root of the sd card (in no folders), turn the phone off. Start the phone in bootloader mode (home and power button, hold the 2 buttons in until you get to your recovery screen and then just flash your zip file.
And I'm like you I don't like calling them rom's either, I'm not real old but older than most on here. But everyone calls them rom's. I'd rather just call them builds. Let me know if you understand everything.
So I just rooted my G1 and installed Eclair 2.1.
For some reason I can't download anything from the market? Everything just sits at the 'installing' section of the app market and never really starts.
I would just install everything off the SD card but the ROM didnt even come w/ a file manager
Would I be better off installing a different rom or am I missing something? I am not recieving text messages either, but I was told that is because the G1 isnt compatible/working w/ the default message system and I would need to use a 3rd party app (Handcent, ChompSMS, etc)
Any help is appreciated
I have a retarded issue with it on my 1.5 Dream. Try signing into Google Talk. Not much of a fix... but if it works...

First, we need to know which rom you're using. Eclair is the version name of 2.1, not the rom. At that point, we might be able to help you. Also, roms generally dont come with file managers, you have to use your own. An alternate way to install your apps would be to install them through ADB.

Whomever told you that the G1 doesnt work with the default messaging app on 2.1 was lying. I can think of three roms off the top of my head that run it just fine. Hell, i've got it working on my G1 as I type this.
So once you get us some more information, perhaps we could help you out.
like the other guy said, i have heard that signing into google talk fixes the market download bug, also try rebooting, if i have this problem a reboot and about 5 minute wait will fix it.
Thank you to everyone busting there butts doing stuff for the nook.
After rooting this thing the first night I got it, I am in love.
Used autonooter for 1.0.1 and installed launchpro.
My questions are about Flash, and updating the market.
I can't dig up much on them. I've tried searching and wow at the threads. Diggin through is rough, so anyone who has done this, could you please help with a simple tutorial. or point me in the right direction.
Thanks again to all.

Not sure I understand what your question is...are you asking how to GET Flash and the updated market?
Yeah, I guess I should have been a little more clear.
Is there a way to get flash installed on the nook? (is it as simple as installing flash 10 from the market?)
And how do I update the installed market?
I have Customized Nookie Froyo 0.5.9 Image for SDcard running off the card and like the market on it better.
So basically I am an android noob, a nook noob, and lost in the wonderful world of modding.

Installing flash from the market worked fine for me, so I'd say yes, it really is that simple.
As for updating the installed market, you'll need to find an updated Vending.apk online, and then type
adb push "C:\PathToVending.apk\Vending.apk" /system/app
This required a working android sdk setup, and I've yet to see any reason to update the one from the nookie-froyo wiki page.
Well I installed the autoconfig script, and loving it so far.
Oh I'm wanting to update the market installed on my nook not froyo. Same instructions apply?
And I can't find flash on the market now.
Do I need the one for 2.2 0r the modded one on here for 2.1?
