if you have already had experience in rooting a phone, then what's stopping you on rooting this one?
if you follow the rooting guide, you will be fine. and if you follow the thread about the hero rom you want, you will be fine. there are certain things you have to do to get hero but those guides will have all that explain within their respective threads.
Yeah ur right, nothing is stopping me from rooting this one, but my question is, the other phone was the. RC33 build so I had to downgrade to RC29 to gain root, now, do I have to do the same for this one? CRB43? Or how do I gain root on this one? Thnx

in order to gain root in any of the releases you have to downgrade to RC29 regardless

Alright, that's what I needed to know, thank u so much
alright, so everything work out well, i think.
i got all done, now i just have a problem. I got the Hero ROM and when the phone starts, i get a loop in the HTC screen...... what can i do???
I had my phone looping for some reason that escapes me right now, I just installed Dude's 1.5 Cupcake and then went to SuperHero v2, it launched just fine but was a bit slow. I just got finished installing JACHero 1.8v4 and it is by far the best Hero build.
Also, on SuperHero V2 my phone took a looong time to boot up.
Okay got me a new g1 with 1.1 on it. And I want to root. Where do I start?
Btw I had a mytouch 3g yesterday. But hated it so much I just had to have the g1. The keybored is so much better

Yeah I've read that thread so many times. Also I'm on rc33. And something I forgot to put in my post is what is all the up todate stuff. Like spl,radio. You know all that stuff. All the help would be awesome.
I've also watched a ton of videos of how to do this. So I hope I do it right the first time

Then next you need to flash the recovery image from telnet. Then the new radio, a cupcake rom and then an SPL. If you want to try Hero, you'll need Haykuro's SPL (which needs the radio before hand or you'll brick your phone).
Okay. I've heard a lot about doing radio first. And nope for the hero rom. I think it should stay on the hero phone.
But as far as roms. where do I find the cupcake rom?
Also thanks for the help so far. I know some will pop on this thread and tell me to use the search bar. But I like asking the questions myself
Also how do I know what radio and spl go together?
you just want the two newest ones. unless you want the haykuro spl
Yeah I just want the two newest ones. But how do I find out which ones are the newest?
The most I want to do with my g1 is apps2sd. Themes, and tethering
here is a useful list of radio updates with what roms they work on:
http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/Radio_Update
Where are you up to? You have RC33 and have flashed the recovery image?
You will want this radio. It's the newest one and will work with all cupcake ROMS. Flash that before the cupcake ROM. The ROM is your choice, if you just want a simple ROM then Jesus Freke's 1.51 is just cupcake with root, simple as. Cyanogen's ROM has lots of optimizations and allows for automatic APPS2SD as long as you have an ext3 partition and there are lots of themes for it.
I think he's still unrooted and running RC33.
For the record, some modified Cupcake builds need the Haykuro SPL to work properly (i.e. JACxROM).

thanks rpope904 and Adriank
but right now i just got home. and im getting everything ready before i get to rooting.
and the memory card ext3 ill have to read more about before doing that.
what about spl's?
okay im stuck! i got to the telnet app. and well it wont connect to the server or something. i did all the steps. i dont know why it wont connect
never mind. i got it now. i just had to do a few steps again
Cool It took me a few tries on starting telnetd, I couldn't get the contact search to open pressing enter twice.. But, it finally did, and worked
so what should i do after i get root?
i dont know if i should update to JF 1.4 rc33 first
then update to JF 1.5.
or can i just update to the 1.5 and not do the others?

tell me what to do actually and i will try to show u what u need to download and do first. theres a really good youtube video on how to root by gadgetpro
do u want a cupcake or hero build?
first and foremost you should decide on what ROM you want to use, i think most people now use the Cyanogen ROMs because he is constantky updating and it is pretty fast and there are themes. second you *should* not need but should have the latest radio and the HardSPL there are only a few SPLs, Hard, Stock, Dev/engineering, and Haykuro(stay away unless you know what you are doing. once you have the Hard SPL and the recovery image from JF(i believe the latest is 1.42 or 1.43) then you are great and can flash any update.zip you want. after you decide the ROM you want then you just have to flash it
there is no best rom just like there is no best woman, the best one is the one you like most, so don't ask. READ READ READ READ READ READ READ and SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH those are the best nuggets of knowlege i can drop on you right now
Hi to one and al
I hope i am allowed to post a new thread on this. I live in Ireland but have a
G1 which is from the good uld U.S.A. I did a week of reading on how to root my phone and got some great advice on this forum.
I rooted my phone last night, using the 2 part video on Youtube and i followed
every step to the letter, i think its worked because my phone still does haha,but i dont see any benefits if anything i have less.
I did the rooting of the phone and then put the U.K RC8 on to it i its the
jf 1.42 i think. Anyway, thats ok but i didnt know there was a jf cupcake 1.5 out i got the jf updater and its found the jf 1.51 cupcake UK and a jf RC9 v.1.43 UK and also an update.zip
Now i have not downloaded any of these yet, Question... Do i download and apply the proper 1.5 radio from the android site and apply that then download the 1.5 UK cupcake and apply that.
Any help would be appreciated as i dont want to **** it up now cheers

Yes update your radio. Its not a must but highly recommended otherwise you might have some issues. Also I would recommend a different rom cause JF's are to old and boring. I would suggest one of Cyanogens rom's.
thanks for reply, i dont have to downgrade the fone again do i, can you tell me which cyanogen rom i should download and do i need another compatible radio, i am a bit phased about diong this again especially after reading so many bricked fones but i do reaserch and listen so any help would be great
Jf stopped making roms so go with cyan stable 4.04
hey Gridlock hows it going.
ok forgive my ignorance i am looking for this rom and cant find it, also do i have to download a radio for that cyanogen release and apply that first,, also do i wipe the sd card before i start this
hope i havent made things more difficult,
and just one other thing when i did the root of youtube i didnt get an option to "protect my root" as i have read on some other guides.
thanks
edit found a post by nephron will have a read through that, but still need to know about the "protect my root" thing and do i wipe the sdcard?
You don't have to worry about protecting your root, nephron guide is a good way to go, you can pick up any rom and the most up to date in the dev section
I am doing good by the way

You won't have to downgrade again. You should update to the newest radio (26I) if your not already. You can do that before or after loading a new rom it doesn't matter. You can look in the dev section for cyanogen he has a stable and experimental build.
thankyou kindly gents will follow that advice
If you haven't already you need to install Cyan's recovery 1.4

Doesn't matter, flash the ROM or recovery in whatever order you want. ROMs don't require a specific, recovery. Just use the one you want to use, 1.4 has the most features.

thanks for that
right i am ok with that, now i know to flash the radio first do i also have to flash this spl i downloaded its called danger spl (dont like the fookin sound of that!!) this nephron guide is very confusing
sorry lads but this is not happening i put the rom onto sd card home and power and its just coming up with a load of mad writing and like a fingerprint gives me the options but when i choose to install it say it cant install as it cant find the rom on sd card, says directory doesnt exist
i am getting to the stage of unrooting here as i dont want to fcuk my fone up
anyone help, and that nephron guide is just too confusing
As long as you don't plan on flashing any hero roms then you don't need dangerSPL. I don't recommend doing the hero roms or dangerSPL until you have a very good understanding of the cupcake/donut roms first.
sorry i have it, i had the file extensions hidden on my new laptop so the re naming was incorrect, sorted now thanks
Okay i'm really confused cause i guess they updated the flashrec program or something? and i downgraded back to cupcake 1.6 and unrooted myself cause i was gonna flash hero but now i can't figure out how to root cause the market got rid of it or something sorry if i sound noobish just a little confused bout rooting lol

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

If you have 1.6, you gotta do:
1.6 --> 1.5 --> RC29

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?
Click to expand...

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
I was gonna root my HTC G1, so I downgraded it from 1.6 to 1.0, but now I changed my mind and I wanna go back to 1.6.
I searched google but couldn't find a guide to do it. Can somebody refer to me one?
Thanks

You can find the stock 1.5/1.6 ROMs via google, you just flash them via recovery. You may need to go to 1.5 and then 1.6.
