Update please help - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I been wanting to update my rooted G1 for a few days but im not sure how to go about it, im currently running FW version 1.1 from Jesusfreke and I want to update to his 1.5. I know theirs a updater on the market but im like agh .. about it and dont know whether to trust it
its options are:
-Cupcake radio only install once!!!!
-JF 1.51 cupcake ADP1
-JF 1.5 (cupcake) ADP1
-JF 1.43 ADP1-1.1 Holiday
-JF 1.42 ADP1-1.1
i WOULD DO THE UPDATER BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

You dont trust the updater?
Install the radio first, i'm assuming you have an older version.
then...
install 1.51adp, it's the newest. why is this hard?

I didnt know if i had to install the radio first but thanks

Question? - I'm noob

Hello all,
I'm really big noob in Android OS. So my question is: Is there any chance to see what version of JF I have cause one friend put it on my phone? I mean what version of JF I'm like jf 1.43 rc33 or other.
And what is the difference between ADP1.1 and RC33 and others.
Sorry for the noob topic.
Thanks in advance.
If you have firmware 1.1 and baseband version ends with something like 1.22.14.11 then most likely you're on JF RC33 v1.4x
or another way is download JF Updater from the market and if nothing found after you check for updates, then most likely you're on JF RC33 v1.4x

hey guys, is any way to use nandroid backup to restore my data, sms and other things without changing the ROM?
Because i update to jf 1.5 and when I use nandroid, my rom become 1.1

Yeah, if you restore a 1.1 nandroid on a 1.5 ROM, it will restore back to 1.1. So don't do it.

Just go back to rc29 then upgrade to 1.5 then open up market and look for it. Lmk if it works.
so unroot again..then how do u get to 1.5?
is there a link or youtube vid on this? i have no idea how to downgrade to 1.5 from 1.6 on a G1
Just flash the nbh file and wait for the update.

if you want to root, flash the nbh, and use flash rec.... it works on RC29
i wouldnt recommend you do it since judging from the op you have no idea what your doing

Do you mean unroot?
If you want to unroot from RC29 - wait for the OTA (Over the Air) update. The OTA will remove root.
If you wanted to go back to a ROM (like Hero, because it uses 1.5) you'll need to upgrade to from RC29.
If you just want to remove root, keep the RC29 and wait for an OTA update to be pushed to your phone.
ohhh okay so i upgrade to cupcake if i want hero from rc29..and i need to root before the ota update to 1.6 is that right?

Yes. Cupcake is 1.5, which is required for Hero to run. Also, if you decide to run a Hero ROM, make sure you have the appropriate SPL and Radio.
and i need to root before the ota update to 1.6 is that right?

If you root before the OTA, you will not receive an OTA. To go back to stock, don't touch the phone (in the sense that don't flash any ROMs) after your at RC29. When at RC29, you will be getting an update from T-Mobile to update (which will remove root).
sorry if im annoyying u aka lol i want to root and im at rc29 right now. i have to get to 1.5 to root right? and to get to 1.5 do i wait for an ota or manually update it myself?
okay wait im on 1.5 and i downloaded the flashrec prog like in the guide and the recovery file and downloaded the flashrec and typed in the /sdcard/recovery-ra-dream-v1.5.3.img and see nothing that says download custom recovery image. i am on 1.5 by the way.
Haha not a problem at all .
Sorry, I didn't understand what you were saying.
If you are already at RC29, and you want root, you need to first upgrade to 1.5.
Sorry bout that, you are correct

How to really flash something and how to get latest official updates

Hey, i have a t-mobile g1 and i can't find any official updates and i can't flash any spl or radio because it says they are not signed, how do i fix that? i want the latest official radio rom, latest spl and latest official android. Can somebody please help me!?
Un-root and wait for the OTA updates.
Well, i want to find a place like for htc dream where is a a ruu installer to update everything to latest, don,t care how but to get one of the latest nbh to write it. Not even official files from ota don't work. why isnt there a image like an nbh with a fully up to date? (
Why would you want OTA's when xda will have rooted versions that are faster?
Make sure you flash the SPL and radio after having a modded recovery first...
Well, thank you, now i found the originals, and now only trying to hard spl with the latest spl and of course putting eclair on it, if i manage to do hardspl, i am on win 7 x64 to and this makes everything weirder, on win mo i even make apps but this is my first android phone and trying to understand and manage fast everything, in a couple of hours i want a good rom
