Questions about my G1. - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, I recently got a Black G1 from a friend and he said it was rooted and everything, but the multi touch and the auto-rotate dont work, and neither does the autorotate sideways keyboard. He told me it had all of that stuff, but I am trying to figure out if I have not done something right or what. Heres the info:
Model- T-Mobile G1
Firmware Version - 1.5
Baseband Version: 62.505.20.17h_2.22.19.26I
Kernel version - [email protected] #2
Build Number - CRB43
I want to just format and reload if possible, because it seems to be running very slow to some of the ones that I have seen. Any help or information is greatly appreciated.

You have a custom JF rom and the newest radio. So yes, you're rooted. However, root doesnt guarantee autorotate and multitouch. Those are things that are *possible* but are rom dependent. Check out the dev section, find a rom that suits your needs and flash it.

NL G1 - Wierd unable to Root

Hiya guys,
I've got a NL G1 since 2 months but I really want to root my G1.
Here are the specs:
Model number: T-Mobile G1
Firmware Version: 1.5
Baseband Version: 65.505.20.17U_2.22.19.261
kernal version: 2.6.27-00393-g6607056 [email protected]#1
Build number: CRC1
I've gone over every possible way to Root a G1 but all fail.
If I want to downgrade my G1 to any RC 29/30/33/8/7.
None worked.
I've tried via various other ways, via update.zip (fond some way on the internet phandroid.com I believe)
I either get an not allowed message with the image (DREAIMG.nbh), or I get an error that the verfication fail while i try to do an update.zip.
If somebody can help me with this. I've flash countless PDA's, PSP's, MDA's but the G1 is not working for me.
Thanks in advance.

sounds like you have a continental European device correct?
If you do, you have a follow a separate guide that requires the use of a goldcard, its still rootable, you just need to do some searching. I won't baby you on how to find it since I've listed keywords that you could use to find it, but if you have problems within the guide, this is the place to ask and look first.
You might just want to search this forum first because another person had the same problem and it was solved, but if you can't search for those above terms in the developer's forum, i'm sure something'll turn up. ;P
yeah I indeed have a cointinantel G1,
And I don't want to use QMAT cause I need to pay, I've paid enough for the G1
Maybe, If its the only solution. A mate of mine got a rooted G1 I'll see him tonight to see if he can Root it for me.
I'll let you know how if he get;s it rooted
There's a Dutch guide here on how to root, I hope it helps
My mate tried yesterday every way execpt QMAT so its clear, so far it's the only way for Continantel G1
The dutch guide is ok. thnQ
But I'm going for QMAT with a WM device that's rooted my collegaue should be in any moment so I'll borrow his phone.
I'll post later on if it's rooted
I rooted my G1 with Help from all of XDA THNQ SO F*CKING MUCH
I used my terminal Emulater to get my CID (works perfect) then with the free Goldcard emailer i used HxH Hex Editor to edit my SD card.
Voila I could Image to RC7, got ROOT and Flashed it
i did had an issue when I put an a JFC ROM but then a did's dudes 1.3 r2 and is working like a chram.
The only thing I can't get to work is the auto rotate wich is possible after root.

Manually updating UK HTC G1

Hi all,
I currently have an unlocked HTC G1 which I bought from eBay. I am on the o2 network. o2 do not sell the HTC G1 therefore, even with a dataplan, I am not recieving OTA updates. So, for a few days now, I have searched google inside out for ways to get my G1 up to 1.6 which I am aware is the latest and final OS for the HTC G1.
I have gone from: 1.0 to 1.1 to 1.5 (CRB17) to 1.5 (CRB43) to 1.5 (CRC1).
Now, I am completely stuck as to where to go next. I am aware that the UK OS 1.6 update is called DRC92. I have found CRC1 to DRC92 NO WHERE. I have even read I have to go from CRC1 to CRC37 to DRC92, but I also cannot find CRC1 to CRC37 anywhere. I HAVE however found CRC37 to DRC92. Which is of no help unless I have the build CRC37 on my phone.
I am aware that this post looks confusing with all the build numbers, but I am sure someone out there HAS done this update from 1.0 to 1.6 on their UK G1 manually. I am prepared to start again from 1.0 (with the help of flashing) if someone has a guide which takes a different route.
I hope there is someone out there who can help, and I await a reply.
Thank you all,
Neel
You best bet is to follow one of the many guides to rooting the phone, then you can just download the latest update from one of the many superb dev's here and install it.
For example my UK G1 is running a eclair rom at the moment, and I have not had to wait for tmobile to finally roll it out.
Just follow this, works for all dreams excluding rogers

How to Update Radio

First of all I would like to say sorry for the pretty noob question, but I can't seem to find complete information about this. I am using Cyan 5.0.6-N1 ROM and am having problems with my BT connection to my headset. I have checked the headset against other phone and it seems the problem is with my N1. I was considering updating my radio version, since I know from winmo experience that the radio part is responsible for BT, WiFi, 3G signal etc.
The question is how to upgrade the radio ROM, since I couldn't find a pretty clear procedure (yes, i looked on xda, as well as google) and some compatibility list. As far as I understood, the worst one can do about N1 is to upgrade the ROM to an incorrect version against the SPL installed. This can brick your phone, according to this thread.
When looking in my N1 at settings, I can see:
baseband version: 32.24.00.22U_4.03.00.21_2
kernel: 2.6.33.2-cyanogenmod
mod version: CyanogenMod-5.0.6-N1.
I assume the baseband version contains the radio version, at least this is my understanding. How do I know what other radio version I can install in order not to brick my N1 and, hopefully, solve my BT problem?
thanks,

PS. If you think this has been answered already, a simple link to the solution is enough for me.
Download this RADIO
Place it on your SDCARD
Reboot into recovery and flash the zip file... reboot phone and you're done.
I saw that newer radio and I decided to flash after reading this thread and when the phone rebooted it went to an screen that showed a box with an arrow and a little android, the phone then rebooted and went straight the recovery menu.
Then I wipe cache, dalvik and battery starts and rebooted the phone one more time after that and the phone started normally. (Got scared at first when I caw the box and the Android)
Thanks a lot!!

reverting g1 (particularly radio baseband) to stock

inb4 lrn2google, etc etc
i've found many a guide instructing me how to revert to original spl and firmware, which i've done. i've subsequently received the ota 1.6 update, which is nice. but i haven't been able to find anything detailing a downgrade of the radio baseband, except for other phones and **** (like cdma sprint hero, etc)
i'm giving my phone in for a repair (i smashed the lcd and digitizer) and i want to make sure everything is stock. i know that my baseband is 2.22.19.26I, but I can't remember whether this is the stock one for 1.6 donut - I don't think it is.
but I don't know which radio baseband stock donut uses?
thanks in advance for any help
Just found info on the dev phone here:
http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
It states that 2.22.19.26I ist default for cupcace and donut. I guess it will be the same on G1.
sweet, exactly what i was after
thank you a lot

[Q] after reboot my phone gets struck

Model number

62.50SC.20.17H_2.22.23.02
Build number

Well I recommend you rooting the phone, you can find the instructions on CyanogenMod wiki, you could go thru this steps:
Root the HTC Dream
* Rooting - HTC Dream
...Install an SPL
* Installing DangerSPL
Then in the rom part use one of the suggested in this forum, you could see the Rom BIble, theres everything explained (visuals, speed, battery life, etc..).
*Edit:
Also doing this will wipe your phone, so if you dont have any important stuff on it its the best option...
