Hello Kinda newbie question, maybe not? not to sure im new at this forum but ive heard great reviews of the knowledge of the members, i have a particular question ive looked around, but couldnt find anything on Downgrading the cupcake 1.5 back to stock or RC30, i mean is this possible by any means, im actually wondering because i wouldnt mind flashing the new HERO ROM on my G1 looks really interesting, if anyone knows anything or share their own thoughts that would be awesome!!
Once you have rooted your phone, you can flash to any rooted ROM... RC33, ADP1, Cupcake 1.5, Hero, etc

does it matter if i am already running the CRB43 build?
Sorry, missed where you said "stock" in the first message. So do you want to unroot and go back to the official software? In that case, flash the DREAIMG.NBH file again, then wait for the OTA update.
If that's not what you want.. Clarify, I'm confused.
well i was able to flash the phone back to RC29 i was rooting the phone but i stupid ass loads the new SPL that was for the HERO rom and now the phone is officially bricked no recovery mode or rainbow screen haha..!! fudge!...im thking of going to the tmobile store and just say i accidentally dropped it and phone shut off and when i turned it on it was stuck??? i did pre order the mytouch...but yeah man last night turned out to be a disaster now im stuck with a blackberry pearl for now lol.. thanks tho at least we learn from out mistakes
You can also try playing dumb and just say that there was a new update available and you hit OK, then the screen went blank and now it won't turn back on...

haha yeah thats actually a good one..but the phone stuck on the TmobileG1 splash, the is still under warranty so im thinking it would cover it..i got it 2 months ago i believe
Good luck with it, most people seem to be able to get a new phone.
There's also an entire thread about this just a few under yours: Lying to T-Mobile to Get Bricked G1 Fixed or something like that...

yeah true...i do wonder but i dont think so...everyone usually gets their share i mean..like i bring in my dead phone, theres usually a factory warranty HTC covers the damage, tmobile loses nothing since most likely they get credited for the Returned Mechandise, if its a bricked phone HTC, theyll most likely flash the chipset via Jtag or something u know...kinda crazy in a way cause what do you think might happen if there was no factory warranty
Update!
they are sending me a brand new one lol! hopefully i dont fudge this one up!

or when cupcake is released you could always revert back to "unrooted" original firmware and get the OTA.

Seeing how the rooted RC33 came out first and how we already have access to the Magic Firmware and such, I'm sure we will be able to get it before its released lol.

Dont place all your eggs on that thinking.
IF, we get the update we are all waiting for, it'll be a major one.
For it being leaked, nah. Someone will have to "extract" it out the phone.
Then "Jesus" will have to get his hands on it, do his magic and get it modded for us.
That is IF "Jesus" is still willing or isnt taking a vacation where there is no internet connection too get the news about the update, so on.
Well hey, I'm just saying lol... If google is going to do the same thing as they did with the RC33 Update, which is release it online before releasing the OTA update, then our friend JF WILL mod it for us before we resort to violence

Hi everyone im new here to XDA and just got a quick question
I flashed Cyanogen 4.0.4 rom and everything works amazing!
only odd problem I have is that when I lock screen I see Rogers (operator name)
twice! really odd....
example
ROGERS
ROGERS<-----------this one never changes
-----------
Time/Date
some help with this would be greatly appreciated!
guess no ones gives a flying F***.....thanks...
ill try another rom then....
I dont want to sound like a mean idiot but, youre gonna try a new rom just because of that? How often do you study your lockscreen? If your gonna change roms just flash again id say and see what happens

Honestly I had the same issue on my phone. I flashed 2 other phones the exact same way and they did not have the same issue. Pisses me off. Its the reason I moved to Hero ROMs that don't give me the issue.
Basically, I'm too stupid to do it and I WILL F it up so I'd like someone that knows what he/she is doing to do it for me and I'd be willing to pay something for it.
I'm close to charlotte so say, 50 miles distance from Monroe, NC..?
I want this font size proggy on there but it only works with rooted phones and of course, I thought that UNLOCKED also meant rooted
THanks
George
It's not very hard to do. I can walk you through it if you'd like on gtalk or someting
Oh, and also, this is the wrong forum to be posting this. Next time post in the Q&A or General forum.
If you can do it over the phone, you're in 'cause I panic when something doesn't go right I like to ask questions immediately.
Any chance I'll brick the damn thing?
George
Oh, if you can also talk me through how to hook up the HD2 in windows mobile to my pc so I can download the ringtones from there (unless someone has them and can e mail them to me), it's worth an easy 20 bucks to me (paypal?).
I assume i can use the ringtones from the hd2 on the nexus?
Thanks

I'll more than gladly help you over skype or phone or however you like

don't unlock your bootloader now there is a way to save your phone for sure you get 100% warranty, i'm running custom roms with a locked bootloader I'm glad I waited use this approach instead.
Ok, now I'm lost again with this boot loader thing and the warranty

Its noobs who think that if you unlock the bootloader you'll void your warranty... YOU WONT... HTC will still replace the phone if there is a reason to that is the phones fault and not one of your own. Don't let the noobs scare you into thinking other wise.

There are 2 ways of modifying your phone.
1) Root it. You get the benefits of being able to run apps that require root but don't have to unlock the bootloader.
2) Unlock it. Unlocking it lets you run different ROMs. Something other than the stock android. Example, Cyanogen Mod. It's a modified custom build of android with lots of nifty things. But it might void your warranty by Unlocking it.
I'd suggest just going with ROOTing it. It's easier, less fuss, less to worry about and it doesn't void the warranty.

Are you on skype?
I got it from Negri Electronics and it IS unlocked already but NOT rooted.
I need to root it to get this font size program installed 'cause my eyesight sucks. That's really the main reason.
Yeah, I like nifty things too and I hate being tied down by locked stuff and so on so I'd like to open it and do whatever I want with it.
As for the warranty, I understood from Negri that HTC/Google covered the warranty and I THINK, that I could buy insurance through t mobile but checking on that.
Also, for those of you who are interested, Negri also sells t mobile contracts/by month contracts or whatever you call it.

NOpe, no skype and I don't have microphones on my computer anyway but I'll be happy to call pretty much anywhere.
If it's international, it's dirt cheap through google phone/voice
For those who haven't tried it, go to google.com/voice but before you do, ask me for a few pointers first. Bitc*in' service from Google and it's free.

It's going to be quicker on the phone since I"m a dumbass but I DO need help so I'll take it unless the dude that offered to do it over the phone chimes in, in the next few minutes

It is a lot to take in, but it really is in you and your phones best interest that you read it all. Nobody wants a $500 (out of contract) / $200 (in contract) paperweight.

Hell, the cappy is so light that it wouldn't even work well as a paperweight. Unless it's just one piece of paper it was holding down.
I just bought my Samsung Captivate about 3 weeks ago and my friend updated it to froyo 2.2. Loved it nothing wrong with it untill last night. I pressed the unlock button on the side and when i went to slide it to unlock it it would not work. I took the battery out and tried again and it did nothing. I looked it up and i think my best bet is too download odin3 and restore it to stock. I absolutely no nothing about phones. Please help me! I need my phone to help tune my truck.
Thanks, Abel
This goes in the Q & A section, not android development. And to answer your question thoroughly more information is needed about what your running.
Oh Boy where does one begin.........
Sorry. I am new to this. But as far as i know it is a samsung captivate. lol. But now all it does is go to the "AT&T screen and it says world phone" and does nothing else.

Wait, you use a Mac, you know nothing about phones, and you let someone else update your phone to a totally unsupported operating system? I'm not sure if you realize this, but in doing that, you just let your friend void your warranty.
Friend, here is how forums work: you spend 99% of your time reading and if you don't understand something then you ask. As silverslotcar so kindly pointed out, you should start by reading this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 and all of the other stickies in this Captivate Android Development forum. THEN you let your friend mod your phone so at least you have some idea of what is going on.
Good luck reading the forums!

There is no such thing... only root and no root. This is because Heimdall requires one flash without BLs then you can reflash with BLs, no reason to have two different ones...
