Weird Information of my G1

I just bought T Mobile G1 2 days ago, and I want to update it from 1.1 to 1.5
But I have different phone information from the tutorial that I read, so I'm still using 1.1 version.
This is the description:
Baseband version
62.33.20.08u_1.22.12.29
Kernel version
2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0
[email protected] #6
Build number
123099
I have no idea what RC number that I'm using.
Please Help mem I really want to update this phone to access some new application.
Thank you.

Are you rooted and in the US? If it is a stock US phone 1.5 should come OTA.
If you don't want to wait, see this: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-install-android-15-cupcake-us-version

Nope, I'm at Germany. OTA?! What is that?! Sorry, I new at this.
Is it the process save?Because I'm afraid it is only for US or UK.

OTA = over the air. Basically your phone service provider will automatically send you the update in a few days.
However, I am not knowledgeable about Germany, and don't know what OS version is used there, how OTA updates work, and most of all whether or not that link is a US only version (99% sure it is - especially because the link says "US version").
Good luck finding help.

you would probably just be better off rooting and getting the newest ROM.
here is the information i found most useful for me when i first rooted.
here are the links to Cyanogen's stable & experimental roms, i've used both and i personally love the experimental version.
hope this helps.

Use THIS guide. It is based on the one linked by davidchill but it has pics, updated links, changed wording for better clarification, and a few steps added to avoid confusion. Also when you are done with that there is a program in post #2 that will walk you through partitioning and do all the math for you.

[HELP] How to put US Donut 1.6 on UK Cupcake 1.5 T-Mobile G1?

Hi, currently my T-Mobile G1 is running the official UK cupcake 1.5 (CRC37) firmware.
How can I safely put the official US 1.6 Donut (DRC83) firmware on my phone without messing things up.
I have the HardSPL flashed already as I used to have my phone rooted and running cyanogenmod.

well you can flash emonthers 1.6 rom. its basically stock donut for root users

Do you know how I would go about loading the official 1.6 US firmware though? Or is it even possible on a UK model?

Even if it did work, I'm not sure if thats such a good idea to update to the official US version.
I live in Australia and i imported my g1 from the US only to realise that i needed to flash it over to the UK version because of a nasty little thing called "Myfaves" which sent international texts to the US periodically under-the-hood with no way of disabling it.
The UK firmware doesn't have "myfaves" hence the reason why i flashed over to it. It might not be a problem (money wise) if you're on t-mobile but its probably worth waiting 5 more days when the UK version gets released on the 19th.
From what i hear, its not really worth all the screwing about to get it early.

Thanks for your reply. I don't want it sending international texts.

There's been no announcement of when the UK G1 1.6 update is coming out. The 19th is the date when the HTC Magic on Vodafone UK starts getting its OTA updates.

can i use these firmwares?

found a image for tattoo (signed) on this site, can this be installed?
http://code.google.com/p/vogue-hero/downloads/detail?name=CLICIMG_Click_HTC_BE_1.67.1100.7_release_signed.zip it looks like an official "developer" release?
file CLICIMG_Click_HTC_BE_1.67.1100.7_release_signed sounds like its official for the developer edition "CLICK"..

it says; Developement only. Not flashable
But i dont know... Just try it...
Official ROM HTC 1.65.405.1 WWE for HTC Click (Tattoo) is downloadble at htcpedia anyway...

You misunderstand... this isn't a developer release, it's a release for developers of Android of Vogue. It's probably flashable to Tattoo, but not in the context of that Google code page. BE = British English? ZIP won't immediately be flashable but can probably be modified to be flashable.

BE is for Belgium

That was the original update for the actual phone. As was said, it's on HTC's site as well. It's the latest update available as of yet

Hello all - this looks like a great forum, so I've finally registered...
Has anyone had success flashing the original firmware on to an Orange branded phone? Looking at people's experience with Orange Heroes, it looks pretty intense.
I was hoping to be able to get the firmware off the phone and in some way edit it to allow standard firmwares to be flashed over it, then flash as normal. But it's worth remembering I don't know what I'm doing...

You should be able to install another ROM without a problem. I did the same 4 days ago on an Orange branded Tattoo.

Did you have to go through the process of creating a Gold Card??
I have one of these coming this week & was hoping to remove all the Orange rubbish & get back to stock, but I'm a bit put off by the process involved.
On my last phone, Touch Pro, I just entered the product code for a WWE on the HTC site & it flashed it for me. That was a Voda one though, it seems Orange have done a bit more to try & protect it?

Is there a stock german rom without a vodafone or o2 branding?

[Q] Has froyo been released for T-Mobile UK users???

Hey guys, my friend has a T-Mobile locked Galaxy S (which he doesn't want to unlock) and he is still on 2.1, I could've sworn froyo had been released but he is saying kies is showing that no update is available, I never had this issue when I used to have my galaxy s, being unlocked meant I was always using the latest fw's. Just looking for some clarification on this issue, thanks in advance. On an unrelated note I will be rejoining android tomorrow or Tuesday, I have now sold my iPhone 4 in favour of the desire HD. P.S can a mod please delete my other thread titled "Has group been released for T-Mobile UK users?" as my stupid iPhone 4 renamed froyo to group, thanks.

Yes it has.

He may need to update to the latest Kies to get it "Kies 2"
If he cannot then details of his SGS's region and current software would be useful to get an answer.

KH2 vs KH5 changes?

Since the official Mango has been released yesterday, there is finally a new version available. Since i've installed the developer release, i didn't got the update but i thought that since the version number was the same, i didn't miss anything.
Lately i've found more sources that claim that some firmware versions have been updated so i'm wondering if i should update to the official version.
I've also seen that the official mango release is stated as the KH5 version, opposed to the KH2 version i'm currently running right now and was the developer release.
So mainly my question is: what are the big differenses between the official mango release (KH5) and my developer release (KH2)?
With the new firmware versions now available: has batterytime improved? I find the current batterytime (1 day and 8 or 16 hours) a bit low, so i'm hoping that power management has been improved?
And lastly: i've updated to the developer release including the CSC that came with it. At the time (flashing) i didn't realise it would mess up my provider information. I got rid of most of the branding, but the boot up and default search provider remain T-Mobile (German) which is somewhat annoying. What CSC do i need to download/use in order to get back to my original unbranded T-Mobile Dutch version i bought in the shop? I cannot seem to find one that, i think, is what i need, namely a XEN-type CSC.
