Well first you have to downgrade your g1 with the DREAIMG.nbh file. go to this website for more info http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-root-a-t-mobile-g1-and-mytouch-3g-android-phone/ .....good luck
Hey, I'm on android 1.6 with build DRC92 too (= nederlandse versie ofzo?),
and when I try to downgrade using the "DREAIMG.nbh", I get stuck at the rainbow screen.
@tyweezy
The guide says: "This guide is intended for US phones."
And I've bought my G1 in Holland. Is my Build version too high or something?

There are 2 different versions of DREAIMG.nbh, one for us and one for Europe. Get the one that says RC7.http://koushikdutta.blurryfox.com/G1/DREAMIMG-RC7.zip
So did this work? (i'm wondering cause i have the same build and want to root too)
Yes, I used that one, but with no result. If someone did succeed downgrading from DRC92 to RC7 please add me on MSN: daantjuhh_10 hotmail com
Same Problem
Hello Guys, i got the same Problem. I stuck on the rainbow screen with the RC7.nbh
I did downgrade from DRC92 successfully and rooted the phone and installed Super D...
You have to
1) use goldcard
2) use the European version of the nbh file (if your phone is European)
3) if you get stuck at the rainbow screen - take out the battery, put it back and reboot again. I was also stuck but battery out and in helped
did not work
I've just tryied to follow the steps described here

I created the so called goldcard... downloaded the DREAIMG.nbh file... but I always get stuck in this rainbow screen.
Rooting UK phone in USA
I bought a t-mobile g1 in London but am now back in the US. I have this same build of Android, but am not sure which set of directions to follow. I'm inclined to follow the US directions because this is where I'll be using the phone but is there something specific to the hardware that would make me want to use the UK instructions?
To root, simply use AndRoot, available in the Market It even flashes you a custom recovery!
Hi everyone
I was really having trouble rooting my UK G1 with 1.6 and version DRC92
Now it's rooted, the only problem is that after all the different methods, goldcard, superuser & simply copying the RC file with different SD cards, the latter finally worked for me.
DISCLAIMERthis could damage/break your phone and encourage a permenant loss of data - I am in now way responsible for the lost of data AND/OR damage to your phone in any way, shape or form
Here we go
- Backup EVERYTHING on your PHONE & SD CARD, if this does work, there's NO going back
-Put you're sd card (mine was in this case a no-name 2Gb mSD card) into an mSD to SD adapter and insert it into you're PC
- Right click your card in my computer & choose format
- Make sure the following are checked - FAT 32, Default allocation size @ 4096 and then check quick format (Make sure above all the FAT32 as my card ended up just as FAT for some reason)
-Download the same RC7 as me – EDIT see post #4 of this very thread! that's where I got it from!!
- I was using winrar, get the free version to be on par with me.
- Open the archive, extract it DIRECTLY to the root of the newly formatted sd card, NOT in ANY folders (The name of the file is correct, please dont extract it first and then copy, you must extract it directly)
- Once again, backup ANY IMPORTANT data from you're phone's internal storage (see disclaimer above)
- Turn off your phone
- Take out your mSD card from the computer
- Put it into your phone
- Hold down the camera button, then press the power button
- Recovery mode should start and a prompt to press power to install update
- When you press power, your phone will be downgraded to 1.0
Note: I had absolutely no luck before, couldn't get it to work, tried goldcard and was going to buy a 2Gb kingson card as I heard it worked with no probs. Then bang, this worked.
I think the main points are: As UK or EU phones we need to use RC7 (whereas some guides are using RC29 with US phones – this can be confusing), the freshly and precisely formatted mSD card in a sd adapter AND above all extracting the RC7 file STRAIGHT to the card whereas before I was extracting it to and then copying it from my hard drive.
Once you have downgraded, you can use the unlockr’s guide to activating over wifi on their site (again I can’t post links, google it or find it on the unlockr’s site>how to’s>Android>HTC Dream/G1>How to activate G1 without a data plan)
I'd be interested to know if this works now for someone else, let me know as I have written myself a guide on how I proceeded once downgrading to 1.0 so just PM me.
Thanks to XDA and unlockr for helping me through!

Ahh =(
I posted a reply hoping I might help someone out, I have no idea why it worked for me as I was getting ready to buy a 2Gb kingston mSD card & try the goldcard method again.
It seems its a bit hit and miss!
After hours trying it did work for me, AFTER I reversed the numbers in the "making a goldcard" procedure in sets of 2! So e.g. 123456 becomes 563412 and not 654321!! Don't forget to replace the first two digits in zeroes.

I'm very sorry for creating a thread like this one, I do not want to be annoying.
This last week, Rogers change my Acer Liquid E for a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate for very bad customer experience.
Since my Acer Liquid E was on Froyo, my Captivate is on Eclair and i'd like to update it.
Samsung Galaxy S Captivate : SGH-i896 (Rogers Canada)
Everything I've found didn't work at all.
I'm Using Kies 1.5.3.10113_29
USB Driver are installed (Samsung)
Proper USB Cable and I follow the instruction step by step on both rogers and samsung website.
Here's go the problem:
(Sorry for my bad english, I'm used to speak french)
When I start Kies, my phone is trying to be detected by Kies but it endless. It said : Connecting the device, please wait. This last step never end (2 hours waiting in front of the computer).
I've been factory reset my phone, reinstalling usb driver and kies and I don't know what to do. I'd like to know if there's someone that could help me ? I've been searching for two days for a miracle, this forum seems to be most competent way to get a result.
I'll be very happy if there's someone that could help me.
Thank you!

P.S: In my computer Windows, my computer show my mobile name by SGH-i896 and i can acces to by phone like it was mass storage mode.

Have you checked your USB settings? Go into settings -> applications -> development -> make sure USB debugging is turned off. Then go back to applications -> USB settings -> select Kies (Firmware update). I haven't used Kies at all but in theory this should fix your problem.
Yes I did, is there an other way to update me phone ?
My kies would always do this too. I was able to fix by going into control panel, then device manager and deleting the device named something like "samsung android composite device" (phone has to be connected to see this). Then unplug the phone and reconnect and it would install the drivers again.
I had to do this fairly often, but it always worked. hopefully it might work for you.

This my works, but i'de like to know what driver were you using when he asked you to install it the second time ? I'm using the driver for SGH-I897, i didn't find anything for the SGH-I896
i had a lot of problems with kies doing the update to froyo 2.2 too...
first check if your usb settings are going to Kies mode and not mass storage mode. you can check my going to settings > applications > USB settings > Kies (firmware update)
if you are a rogers customer then try to bring it to a Rogers Plus store and ask them to update it for you, might have to try a few stores before you find a someone that can help.
if you want to do the update yourself then you can try this.
i first had to install an older version of kies, the latest one from samsung website would not detect my phone at all. the version i used is Kies_1.5.3.10092_2_1.exe, you can download it here http://dls.scione-music.de/KIES/
another problem i had was that during the update kies was not able to put my phone in download mode so i would get an error and the firmware update would close. what i had to do was manually put it in download mode before i get the error. so before the error pops up you have to power off your phone and disconnect the usb then while the phone is off hold both volume buttons and plug in the usb. This will put you into download mode and then kies will finish the update.
The problem has been solved by switching my windows vista to windows 7! ! I finnaly managed to convince my girlfriend to switch his ****ty pc operating system to 7. Thank you for everything all xda user.

Freudian slip?
Hello,
I am a newcomer to the Forum and I would be grateful if I could benefit from the experience and the knowledge of the experts.
I have an unlocked HTC G1 phone. I use the ATT network.
I would like to install Gingerbread.
Could somebody give me the direction where I would find a step by step guide to replace my actual Donut version with Gingerbread.
Here are the specs of the phone:
Model number Android Dev Phone 1
Firmware version 1.6
Baseband version 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.261
Kernel version 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37
[email protected]#19
Build number DRC83
well if its a dev phone it should already be rooted so ignore those steps, check and see your radio/spl (power on holding camera button)
your answer here will determine the next step
chances are you need to follow this link _ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
once this is complete follow the steps here _ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882356
if you need more help let me know!
Thank you very much for your reply.
Unfortunately my knowledge in this field is infinitesimal small.
That is why I am looking for a step by step guide.
Maybe I put myself in the wrong forum for my level and my needs. My apologies.
The only thing I know is that my phone does not need to be rooted.
Thank you again for your advice and your time.
Happy New Year to all of us
if your not finding what you are looking for ill see what i can do
first off i need to know your radio/spl - this will help me determine what you need to do next
just type in everything off the screen that will be rainbow colored or have three androids on skateboards
to check the screen, power off your phone, then hold down the power (red button) and the camera button at the same time. tell me what it says...
after you write all of that down press the green, red and menu buttons all at once and the phone will reboot normally.
gunner1937: There is a link I found in another thread for an older version of ROM Manager which will work on Android 1.6. Since you're rooted with a Google ADP phone this might be all you need. But I would go in the menu and do a factory reset.
I upgraded my T-Mobile G1 from stock Android 1.6 to CyanogenMod 6.1 (Android 2.2.1) three days ago following the instructions on http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Dream:_Rooting
I will stick with it for now. It came bundled with the ROM Manager app.
In the past week I've researched upgrading to Gingerbread and just recently there may be a bug uncovered where the phone no longer goes into Deep Sleep mode. This means the battery usage is not ideal compared to other earlier ROMs. It turns out virtually all Gingerbread Dream ROMs use some code by ezTerry, so they may all have this issue. So.. I think I will hold off on going to a flavor of Gingerbread until I get more info on this possible bug.
In your case I believe I'd do the factory reset, then load this ROM Manager onto it. You'd need to copy the ROM Manager.apk file to your phone's SD card. I would backup the contents of your SD card onto your PC just so you have any files/songs you want, and then format it with FAT32. You can format the SD card from a Settings menu on the phone if you like. I think there's another setting in the menu to allow installing a program from unknown sources. Find that and check it in order to be able to manually install an app like this. Or I dunno, that may not be in the ADP phone. Next you'd need to get on the Android market and get a file manager to be able to dig into the SD card's file directory and install the APK file. I used a text editor called TxtPad Lite which included a usable file manager. Another one is called Astro File Manager. With something like that you can browse the file system to be able to look at the files on your SD card and install ROM Manager. You'd just find the APK file and tap on it.
So then you're reset, got the ROM Manager app that will work on Android 1.6, then you can use it. You want to let it install the ClockworkMod Recovery first thing. It's required and what the app uses to manage installing your ROMs. I myself have never actually used ROM Manager to install a ROM (I did use it to install the ClockworkMod Recovery). I've gone in and out of the app. It asked me to update it, so I did. And I decided to stick with CyanogenMod 6.1 for now. It looks like it's gone through a ton of vetting to get it really honed.
I kind of wanted a more full introduction to flashing the ROMs and stuff and the CyanogenMod guide was great for me. This looks like a relatively painless and less complicated way to safely upgrade and switch out ROMs for you, and I might've done it more or less this way if I'd discovered it first.
Thank you.

Personally I would recommend you install froyobylaszlo
But anyways, first of all before you start installing the 2708+ kernel, you're gonna need fastboot and adb on your computer
What OS do you have on your computer?
one laptop is Vista and the other is Win7

If you are not testing it this is a bad conclusion:
*) Deep sleep may or may not be working.. this has mixed results but the device is mostly sleeping.. so yes if completely idle (ie no cell network no wifi, screen off, no services running..) you might go from 4days uptime that the system currently gets even with an sdcard to 5 days if the problem if it exists is solved
problem is deep sleep is when the ARM11 CPU is turned completely off (it is going into low speeds correctly, and disabling other hardware into low power modes) This means when you are using the phone this state will not be entered (and thus the phone uses the same power as it is now) when a service is actively running.
Thus most peoples battery enhancements in GB are from the new APIs to allow applications to stay in the background more in Gingerbread; and a much larger problem is many applications these days are running more services than the G1 can support thus the system is constantly swapping in and out applications from memory.
Thus those whose battery on gingerbread roms is draining fast will more likely benefit from checking what is running in the backgound than waiting on a deep sleep fix if its even a problem.. since the services will still run after any fix and the battery life won't improve.
What the op needs is the 2708+ radio/SPL (that others are helping with) than nandroid in recovery can be used to switch between roms; since it provides more ram to CM5/CM6 and gingerbread roms all work with the 2708+ combination then the op can pick what works best for them in a more overall evaluation... and not just what lasts the longest when not used as a phone.
To OP:
the best way to continue is to:
1) Install fastboot (and the sdk) on your computer. you will need to search for this since the since I don't know the details for windows
2) If you already have a custom recovery (clockwork or ra-recovery) continue; otherwise you will need to install one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4647751&postcount=1
3) then since you have HBOOT: 0.95.0000 install 1.33.2003 from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6510019&postcount=76 this will allow fastboot and let you continue with:
4) Then the installation section at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139 (The files section will have the various files required and older roms that have been ported to work on the new SPL/Radio.. newer roms mostly will work per instructions on the rom's thread) .. read the entire post before doing anything.. as this is a major change to the phone, and the actions to fix something if you run into a problem may be slightly different than they were with more stock roms..
Try to get a feeling for what is needed before you begin .. we know its a bit of an involved process.. but most users have auctioned this in smaller steps originally.
(Note the cmwiki will probably be the best way to install recovery)
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910008
Download the drivers only pack
I think it includes fastboot
I can't check, if not tell me and ill upload my files as soon as I can get to a computer
search in google (or probably even xda) for "easy fastboot" if your having issues using fastboot, its exactly that an easy way to use fastboot for noobs.
also you can flash your new radio/spl as well as your rom via recovery, it isnt recommended but it can be easier if you have issues. ill tell you i have done it this way many times and have yet to brick a phone but as always my experience dosent me you will have the same. so try to follow the suggested route of fastboot is best.
upgrading to Gingerbread
I should have taken a longer rest.
I am starting the New Year with the feeling that everybody gets the right to flame me: my G1 does not work after a very bad step.
I installed on the re-formatted SD card 2 files namely DREAIMG.nbh and cupcake.
In short, I got the message "E: cannot open /sd card /update.zip (no such a file or directory). Installation aborted".
The next step was to sign my google account. It failed.
At this stage I cannot format, read, transfer, and use the SD card because it is not recognized by the computer. And of course the phone is not working.
Right now the G1 shows in the colored bars:
DREA100 PVT 32B
HBOOT- 0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO- 1.22.12.29 (before doing anything to the phone the radio was 2.22.19.26I)
This phone was unlocked and set on the AT&T network.
Thanks to my wife Nexus One I can use, format, transfer files (which I did, to no avail) by inserting my SD card in her phone.
The least to say is that I really need the help, knowledge, and assistance of the Forum members.
What you don't want to hear is we see no error in what you have described. > well apart from the nbh file used it may be the original way to root but its not the easiest.
The message you are seeing in recovery is not am indication of a problem.
Ok, 0.95.0000 has no fastboot and thus you really need a custom recovery, to do that you. Need to flash it from the rom after rooting it, this means you need to try and boot the phone normally and log into Google normally.. if this fails try the following:
A.) go into recovery (home+power) and press alt+L then the combo to wipe the phone
B.) If its still not working try re-flashing the nbh
Oncce logged into google the telnet trick can work..
C.) While it needs a bit more setup, this third option is easier to install the 3rd party roms without a Google login and manual flash of recovery from system: make a goldcard ( you can do this on the n1) then put the orange nbh from the 2708+ thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139 this can be renamed DREAIMG.nbh and then be flashed with the gold card you made. (There are many guides on making the goldcard for HTC phones) Once flashed you will have a fastboot enabled spl that will let you flash anything by fastboot.
Thank you for helping me to breathe a little bit deeper, better, and slower.
So far I am in the same situation.
Dropping by BestBuy I found an SD micro with an adapter. It makes life easier for everybody.
I did again what I started, trying 2 different downloads of the .nbh file. Still locked at signing my google account.
Following your advice I will try to create a goldcard and follow the procedure you mention this evening.
Wait...locked at signing in to google account?
What do you mean? It shows google sign in but you can't sign in?
Do you not have a data plan?
If so, just google "activate g1 wifi"

While it needs a bit more setup, this third option is easier to install the 3rd party roms without a Google login and manual flash of recovery from system: make a goldcard ( you can do this on the n1) then put the orange nbh from the 2708+ thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139 this can be renamed DREAIMG.nbh and then be flashed with the gold card you made. (There are many guides on making the goldcard for HTC phones) Once flashed you will have a fastboot enabled spl that will let you flash anything by fastboot.

I am still trying to create a goldcard with the nexus 1. I cannot install a driver for it, I cannot install a driver from HTC sync, I get a message that "the device is not connected" but I can see the microSD on the computer.
This is where I am. And I do not know anymore what I have to do next since I feel I am in front of a wall.

Wait...locked at signing in to google account?
What do you mean? It shows google sign in but you can't sign in?
Do you not have a data plan?
If so, just google "activate g1 wifi"

I did not express myself correctly.
When one reaches the sequence to sign into a Google account one has to enter email address then password.
I did that and few minutes later I got the message it could not reach the google servers.
Also, I have -rather had - a wi-fi connection since I got the G1 in December 2008.

There's your problem...
Wifi is off when you first turn on the phone
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Google_Login_via_a_WiFi_Connection
Use that guide to turn it on and sign in
And if you don't want to download the entire sdk just wait until I get on my computer and ill upload just the files you need
But tell me if you still need the files or not...I don't wanna upload for nothing
And if you can't get the steps right, I can try tell you more stepbystep instructions

Thanks for the link.
I cannot take advantage of it: Device manager shows 7 Intel ICH* universal controller, 1 USB composite device and 7 USB root hub.
Nothing else.
No USB mass storage device.
Android SdK is installed on C: but I do not know if it is properly installed or activated because I could not check "adb devices"
I am so sorry for being so stupid to ask,but m left with no option, but to ask.
I have SGH gt-i9000.
I have it working.
I use t-mobile USA
But I want to update it fully.
Have no clue how to do it.
Need elaborated steps which will tell me how can i make the best use of it.
I am actually looking for the most stable and reliable version for my phone which lets me keep it working smooth free of all bugs. I would really appreciate if some of you genius can help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Look at video on samfirmware. com and youtube, read stickies in xda, stock jvu with andip's theme and semaphore kernel is fast and rock solid.

First of all, you need to download and install Kies to have the latest drivers for your phone. (You can get kies from Samsung's official webpage) Then download Odin. The latest version is 1.83 afaik. Then you need to download a proper firmware for your phone, which you can do at sammobile.com under the firmwares tab. (you need to register to be able to download, it takes half a minute). After that, extract the firmware using winrar or something like that. You should have a few files which you have to put in Odin, you can find many guides for that on how to do it and what options to tick. You have to put your device into download mode - first switch off (pull the sim card and external sd, as it might cause some errors while flashing), then hold the home-volume down-power keys for a few seconds. You will enter download mode. Before plugging in your phone to your computer, make sure no part of kies is running on your pc (use task manager). Some drivers might install. After that, Odin should "see" your device, a yellow box will appear with the port used. If all the files are at the right place, start flashing (make sure your device has at least 70 percent battery). Only unplug your phone after it has fully booted. Done!
Now you only need to apply a custom kernel. I recommend Semaphore. Search for it on the forums. Switch off your phone again and put it into download mode. Reset Odin. Put the downloaded semaphore kernel into the pda box. Plug in your phone. Flash. Done!
Please hit thanks if I helped

Hi, I've got P7-L10. I'm a programmer and I've realized that each time I disconnect my phone from pc usb debugging is turning off and in "connect as" window (which pops when device is connected) it's forgetting what was set before and switching to usb sd mounting (even "don't ask again" doesn't work). Why is that so? It's pretty damn annoying.
Edit:
I've manually updated my software (ota wasn't available) to 609 and problem no longer occurs. At least for a few connects/disconnects.
sorry to bring back old thread but can you please explain how you updated? I have same problem and posted here, person told me to update to 6** version... Im on B123 (vodafone) right now - I dont care one damn about losing the custom stuff vodafone put on, if anything i want it gone... Is there a way to flash a full package of B6** rather than upgrade?
