Im new here. Sorry if this is a newb topic but i have no clue what to do now. I'd even be fine with just going back to the latest unrooted version right now because im stuck on rc29.
I originally had CRC1. I'm having trouble on one of the last steps of getting root. I used this guide http://androidandme.com/2009/05/guid...stall-cupcake/ . I am on i think step 3 and everything else has went well. I'm back to RC29, but when i go to upgrade radio image it says either cant find file or bad file after i have copied it to sd card and renamed it update.zip. Can someone please give specific steps on how to get this working? If for some reason I can't get root can i get back to the original OS CRC1 that i had easily? Please help. Thanks.
There is no reason to start a new thread dude. There is a whole thread on all these questions.

Answer: yes if you're not rooted you should receive the OTAs and get back to CRC1 soon
Please search next time and post in correct forum (Q&A)
sorry about that. I've tried searching and trying different things. Will I still get OTA update to RC33 even If its not letting me manually look for an update in settings/about phone? sorry for the noob questions. Thanks.
It will automaticlly upgrade over night, redownload the radio image and try with a new one
If you are using windows, it hides the file ext so you only need to. Rename it update not update.zip

Hello everyone, my HTC DREAM touch screen just died on me today meaning it doesn't detect me. I tried battery pull and soft/hard reset and even wipe. I plan on bringing it back to rogers for a replacement or repair but I gotta revert this back to stock. My Phone is rooted and is rogers its also running cyanogen. How I unroot and install the factory firmware, i have looked through google and here and i may missed some or didn't see any results that reflected what I was looking for.
You obviously did not search Google correctly.
Al you'll really need is to find the DREAIMG.nbh file for RC29, and use fastboot to flash it over. That should take you to 1.0, I believe. You may need to find an official OTA update for Cupcake to flash as well, you may not.

Just getting it back to 1.0 is fine. All the OP would have to say is he never wanted to get the updates.
Here is the factory cupcake build you can use. http://androidoverdrive.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=85
So if I unrooted using the DREAIMG.nbh procedure 48 hours ago, how long do I have to wait for the OTA upgrade to bring me current? Is there anything I can do to hurry it along? For example, will it not come through if certain apps are being used, etc? Or do I just ... wait longer?
ummm, Rogers doesn't have OTA updates. Just get the e911 update thing from rogers and run that. It will unroot you and put you to the latest rom.
FYI you can now say good bye to root as the new phone that you get from rogers will not allow root.
I feel for you as I am in the same stupid F'N sinking boat. F Rogers.

I thought this post might be helpful since it offers a stock rogers rom, but it says 32A, so I don't konw if that will work with the Dream.

This seems cool, but i can't find an md5sum for it, so there seems to be no way to verify the download. It would be a shame to brick the phone with a bad download.
I wonder if anyone has used it successfully and has a checksum?
Maybe [email protected] could help us?

Regardless, heres the original radio (3.22.20.17) and the original recovery (WARNING: UNROOTED) from rogers dream:

but again, I cannot find and md5sum for the file, so I am a bit hesitant to use it if a brick could result.
I think suggestion #2 would be great if there was a checksum for the file.
I would keep a copy of it handy as well if I could verify it.

hi
i'm a complete novice. i got a local shop to root my t mobile g1, which they have done. The reason i wanted this is so that i could wifi tether it. however they were unable to get this next step to work. i have tried it at home through watching you tube and looking at sites like this - but no luck.
I'm seriously thinking of going back to where i was ie put it back to 1.6 and forget the tethering part. can i do this on a rooted phone, i wish i never rooted it. it cant even find linda file manager in the market anymore.
please help
i am on firmware version 1.0. any help would be appreciated. i guess i shouldn't have got involved in stuff i didn't understand!!!

First you should always do your own work so you understand whats going on. if your still on 1.0 you need to update to a newer firmware (at least 1.5 or 1.6 or even jump up to 2.1). Thats prolly why your not seeing certain things in the market and why wifi tether isnt' working. That shop sounds like they don't know what they are doing.
i know. leave things if you dont understand them. lesson learnt. how do i get back back or should i get an expert to get me back to 1.6?

Well techincally the "hard part" is done. All you need to do is find a rom that you want. Cyanogen has a stable 1.6 build that you can run. Just put the .zip on the sd card and flash and everything will start working. Let me know if you need any details on how to do anything.
hi

thanks for the advice. sorry to be dum. So a ROM on a G1 is like an operating system? So if i put on Cyanogen it will allow me to upgrade to 1.6. When you say put the .zip on the sd card you mean there will be a file called cyananogen.zip that i will have downloaded. Put it onto the SD card, and by flash you mean run the file?
sorry but all this terminology is new to me. ROM in my day was read only memory.
grateful for any simple instructions. thanks in advance

First install this recovery (all the instructions are included)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669
Then here is the thread for cyanogen's stable build with installation instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567610
And if you want to jump to a 2.1 firmware here's his that runs great
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/index....c-would-you-like-a-pony-v507-test5-05132010/?
But basically you'll download his file which will be a zip file (don't matter what its called) and put it on the root of the sd card (in no folders), turn the phone off. Start the phone in bootloader mode (home and power button, hold the 2 buttons in until you get to your recovery screen and then just flash your zip file.
And I'm like you I don't like calling them rom's either, I'm not real old but older than most on here. But everyone calls them rom's. I'd rather just call them builds. Let me know if you understand everything.
After attempting to get back to stock i've wound up on android 1.0, and I can't get it to verify any update.zip i try and flash, gives me an error message saying something about 5 files and a lack of signature/verification.
I need to get it back onto 1.6, any ideas?
Oh yes and I'm from the UK, I'm sure this will make a difference somewhere along the line regarding the different versions but I'm not too sure on the specifics of that.

You want to goldcard a RC7 update, then go from there.
That guides pretty outdated actually...
Goldcard Generator:
http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1185354
Is for 'Australian' version, don't know if that will help you though.
not really sure where to start with that to be honest, i don't have a windows mobile device to hand and i can't find my sd card's cid - any idea how to go about that?
sorry if this is obvious and i'm not understanding it, and thanks for your help so far
please keep questions in the Q&A thread.
You've got 1.0, I presume that means that you ran an "nbh" file on it, right? So next step is to ROOT IT!! There's plenty of guides around for it.
Forget all the nonsense you see above in this thread about goldcards and what not. No need for any of that junk.
Yupyup, all you have to do for the G1 is flash the recovery, enter recovery, and flash the OS.
My phone is running build FRF33B (googling this build number returned no results at all). It was a non public build. I got the phone from Adobe as part of a (kongregate) promotion to get flash developers to edit some games so they could run on froyo, and hence I really don't know what was done to the phone before I got it (there's an unlocked symbol when it boots, and even though it's a t-mobile nexus I'm using it on AT&T's network).
FRF33B is nice and usable (but full of minor bugs which get irritating after a while), and I'd really like to update to the latest stable build, but it's not receiving any of the OTA updates, and trying to install any manually gives me a package signing verification failure.
Does anyone here know how I can update the phone? Do I need to downgrade it somehow? Do I need to root it? Any help would be appreciated.
Downgrade to erd79 would be my best suggestion and it will update to frf91 I hope that helps and if u need a update zip let me know and I can email it to u
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Or just unlock your phone, put a custom recovery, and install whatever ROM you want. Look at the sticky in the development section for details.
Option 3: Search around for the FRF91 Universal update.zip, copy it to your SD card, and flash it via stock recovery.

ok I've done this, and flashed the universal FRF91, now the phone is stuck on the animated X, is this normal? Do I just have to wait or did I do something wrong?
edit: it looks like it just rebooted itself.... still not getting past the animated x part though
edit: wiped the phone and tried again, now it works... got to set up everything on the phone again though and download my apps again... oh well. thanks for the help
ok so I rooted my android phone a few months ago and just left it at at the stock img with root access. i didnt do a back up because i wasnt planing on flashing a different rom. when the FRF91 update came out i manualy updated it. after that i lost all root access. i then followed this guide to get it back to EPE76
XDA FORUMS /showthread.php?t=636795.
after this i lost all root access. my fastboot screen showed that i was unlocked. i tried to re root it following this guide (how i rooted the first time)
YOUTUBE./watch?v=RyOO460xNHM.
i followed the exact steps i did before but the superboot didnt work. ive tried to get it to a version but i cant manualy update because it says the update isnt found. or there is an error in the file. did i mess up the rooting or is it something else? can anyone tell me if i can fix this someway???
