Am I stuck?

If I try and flash an SPL I don't think will work then my device will be bricked.

"In order to replace the SPL on your phone and install CyanogenMod on the system, you will need a customized recovery utility. Ordinarily, fastboot would be the easiest means of installing the utility but Rogers is now distributing phones with v1.33.0010 and higher SPL versions (aka: "Perfect" SPL) which prevent fastboot from flashing image"
it seems to me that youd be okay.
also in the future this is not the correct section for these sorts of questions

Apologies, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do now as to how to root my phone, and if it's going to break because of this

my phone had that for hboot too and i followed that same tutorial and now my phone is bricked. could this be why?

I started with the same SPL as you and just rooted my phone today by following that guide.
That being said, I had to deviate from the guide in order to install an SPL.
The guide tells you to use flashrec from google code, but that older version didn't work on my phone. Write down the URL the old one tries to use, then use it with a new one from here:
http://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec
And all should work out just fine.

how do i go back to frf91 from frg33?

I flashed 33 and my phone is stock. I need paid apps plus this build is bugging out on me alot. Stuff freezes, its just a bad build. How do I undo this without rooting?

Pretty sure you have to root.

If its like FRF91. Then it wont let you downgrade because it sees FRF91 as an "old version."

Download ere27 as passimg.zip. place in your sdcard root. Boot into recovery. Restore. Let it do its work. Put frf91 into sd card. Boot into recovery and load from zip. Ta da. You are on Frf 91

Or, if you want a shorter and more correct route:
Nexus One Wiki, "Restore", PASSIMG.ZIP method, use FRF91 complete stock image found in one of the threads in Q&A from the last day (or Google).
Don't use FRF91 update, since it's only an update - it's not a complete image.

whatever. Just use a passimg.zip to clean out all the crap. its basically the "do-over" method. Think etch-a-sketch flip and shake.

i tried passimg from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717870
it said failure because it was an older version. If i find that ere one will it let me do it? i dont mind going way back and working my way back to froyo, but i dont think i can passimg anything since its considered "older"

search the forum for how to downgrade your hboot- it exists just search for the thread

Thank you. Looks like ill have to root for it which im sure ill find if i search how to root 33 so ill wait for a while to see if something else comes up but at least I know there's a way

There is no other way but to root.
Since you're erasing the system you're rooting anyway, why do you care?
The full guide is now in the Wiki, including reverting HBOOT for those that need it.

i dont know, i did 1 click root a few times but every rom i tried- cyan, eno, modac, whatever were great but there was always some bug or something that was annoying enough that i just wanted stock instead. So i dont know how much i like the idea of permanent root, but theres probably a stock rom i can use so its not the end of the world. SDK/Terminal i did all that crap with my g1, personally i found it to be more of a hassle than it was worth. But not having protected apps is not going to cut it so ill cave soon im sure

Again, maybe this time it'll be understood:
There is no "permanent root". The only "permanent" thing is unlocking the bootloader, which you don't have to do - the guide doesn't require it. The system you root will be erased in the PASSIMG method and replaced with a completely stock system of your choice. So, what's exactly stopping you from rooting?

the only way to go back from FRG33 is to unlock the bootloader at this stage, the PASSIMG method does not work

When you revert HBOOT, it should work fine. Just the same as it works with Korean FRF91 version, which also has a new HBOOT. People in the FRG33 thread don't know it?

Why people can't understand?At this moment,if you've flashed stock FRG33 rom,using PASSIMG method,you can't root anymore!The only method to roll back to FRF91 is to unlock your bootloader,which is permanent and can't be un-done!
Cheers

Did you see that?

Or is it the only report? (in that case, the guy probably didn't try to run root).
Anyway, being unable to root makes you unable to flash PASSIMG of anything with bootloader lower than 0.35 - but did anyone try PASSIMG with Korean FRF91? It has the same HBOOT as FRG33, so it shouldn't be reported "older".

Code:
[HOW-TO] Revert HBOOT 0.35.0017 to 0.33.0012
I CAN'T RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER!!!
This only reverts your SPL/HBOOT back to 0.33.0012 after you've installed the Korean FRF91 files and ended up stuck with 0.35.0017 SPL.
Thanks to the guys in the Desire forums and help from the Nexus Q&A, I have reverted my phone to the original HBOOT so I can apply custom roms again.
First you need to root the Korean FRF91 that's on your phone using Paul's instructions for superboot FRF83.
If you are rooted already, skip this step.
http://android.modaco.com/content/go...the-nexus-one/
Code:
How to use Superboot - Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the Superboot zip file above and extract to a directory
- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then press and hold the trackball to enter the bootloader
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh' followed by './install-superboot-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh' followed by './install-superboot-linux.sh'
Note: If you are using a retail Nexus One, you may need to unlock the bootloader first, as detailed here.

Ok, let's make some order:
1) PASSIMG can flash versions with the same or higher HBOOT version - to check: will the same version flash? I believe so.
The official FRF91 has HBOOT 0.33.0012, the Korean FRF91 has 0.35.0017, and I suppose the FRG33 also has 0.35.0017 - correct?
2) Rooting isn't possible on FRG33 yet. 1 report doesn't count.
So, looking at this:
Using PASSIMG with the Korean FRF91 (complete with HBOOT 0.35.0017) will work over FRG33, if the HBOOT is indeed the same version.
Korean FRF91 is rootable.
Rooting Korean FRF91 allows to downgrade HBOOT, which in order allows to use PASSIMG method to flash official FRF91 with older HBOOT.
So, did anyone try PASSIMG with Korean FRF91?

You should use the FRG33 passimg as per Wiki, then upgrade to FRG83D.
Also, wrong section.

ok as u said i need to use FRG33 ( FRG33 is upgraded version than FRF91 ?)

Just grab the image from here: http://developer.htc.com/

Have you tried the last update (FRG83D)?
Although if you want the FRF85D, first flash the FRF50 update (http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=paul/nexusone/update-nexusone-FRF50-signed.zip) and then upgrade to FRF83 with oficial recovery (http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=paul/nexusone/Update-Passion-FRF83-From-FRF50.zip) and finally upgrade to 85D (http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=paul/nexusone/Update-Passion-FRF85B-From-FRF83.zip)

Korean N1 was released with 2.2(FRF91) from the start, IIRC. So I don't know if downgrade is possible. (And, you can still root your device via rageagainstthecage exploit after upgrading it to 2.2.1(FGR83))

can i able to install custome rom after update to fgr83 as u say

Do I need to downgrade my firmware

Hey guys,
I have htc g1 and was wondering if I need to downgrade my firmware for installing cynogenmod 6
Information about phone:
Firmware version: 1.6
Baseband version 62.525.20.18H_2.22.20.23
Kernel version: [email protected])
Build number: dream-user 1.6 DRC83 14721 ota-rel-keys
Production team: www.HIAPK.com Ver 3.0_g1_ion
Cheers.

Yes, you do! You need to downgrade and root your G1.

Just found out that the phone has already been rooted. I typed su into terminal and I got to the next line with #. I guess it is rooted, yeah?

hmmmm.... im pretty sure if you have 1.6 than you are not rooted, is it DMD40? or you might just have a custom donut rom if you are rooted... anyway follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098899

I am confused now. I have been reading this article:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...Firmware_to_CyanogenMod#Rooting_the_HTC_Dream
Do you reckon, I can just downgrade my phone by downloading RC29 (US) (since I have a T-Mobile G1), and skip the rooting step, and go to Installing a Custom Recovery Image step?
Your help is much appreciated.
leet_2k

well basically when you downgrade and install the custom recovery, that is considered rooting! but there so many good roms out now that if you follow the guide all the way to get the 28.25 radio and 0013d spl you can flash the latest and greatest roms

[Q] How to flash radio?

My N1 on Rogers is currently at (unrooted) stock 2.3.6, with baseband version 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04.
My data connection constantly hangs and then drops. I'd really like to flash the radio to 32.50.00.32U_5.12.00.08, but I have no idea how.
I can only find guides which flash the radio along with Cyanogen, but I ONLY want to flash the radio, without any custom ROM (I want to stick with stock 2.3.6).
How do I go about doing this?

The recommended way to flash a radio is through fastboot (which you need an unlocked bootloader for) but you can also use a flashable zip through recovery but it is crucial that you check md5 sum because flashing a radio is the easiest way to brick you phone if it is corrupt us something.

Thanks, and this doesn't require rooting?

No sorry forgot to mention flashing a radio requires root and I don't recommend you flash a radio until you are comfortable with all the rooting stuff because like I said it's the easiest way to brick your phone.

I doubt your problems is with your radio anyway

Why do you say that?
I had no problems with my 3g data connection until after Gingerbread was pushed to my phone. I believe the new 5.08 radio was included 2.3.

The 5.08 radio is the radio that seems to have the least amount of issues. I am sure google did a lot of research and testing before they decided to send out the 5.08 with Gingerbread rather than the 5.12.
But, to flash a radio, you either need to have your bootloader unlocked so you can flash it with fastboot, or you need your phone rooted so you can flash it with a custom recovery.
It isn't possible to do it staying completely stock.
