I just got a G1 and I rooted it to RC-29.
I'm very new to any of this hacking stuff and I have no idea what to do next. My guess is that I need to update to RC-33 and/or firmware 1.5? Along with installing the multi touch and things like that...?
I've read up on some information and JesusFrekes or something like that used to have a lot of updates for the rooted G1, unfortunately all the download links on his site don't work so I have no idea where to go from here... Can anyone tell me what I should do?
look in androidandme.com or google rc-33 and g1 rooting and stuff, idk
If you have root now, you can flash the newest cyanogen rom. check out the cyanogen thread in dream development. JF isn't updating roms anymore. Without danger/death/haykuro special spl (search it in these forums), and seeing as how you are new to this I suggest cyanogen ROMS are your best bet Also check out www.cyanogenmod.com and the cyanogenmod wiki.

Depends... do you want a modded-roooted ROM or do you want an official update?

hi there. i highly suggest that you follow previously posted suggestions. as you can see, this is my very first message to post on this forum and i have been a member for over 2 years. i have had my dream/G1 for almost a year now. in that time span, i have gained root access, flashed a couple of haykuro's builds, flashed jesusfreke's ROM, disappeared for awhile, came back, couldn't find jesusfreke anymore. after doing some research, i discovered the genius cyanogen and flashed his ROM, and then another, and then another, until i am finally currently running the 4.2.2 version. i did all of this without knowing a thing about linux and without any hacking or programming skills. i did all of this simply by reading, researching, reading, googling, reading, reading, and more reading. i promise you, everything that you need to know - guides for noobs with step by step instructions - are here in this forum. once you find these guides, try them them out, step by step. if you hit a snag, or something goes wrong, re-read the instructions to make sure you followed them exactly. if you think you did, search for the error that you stumbled upon. i'm going to go out on a limb and say that i'm 100% positive that someone else has had the same problem and it has already been solved and someone else has probably written a guide for the next noob to read once he/she comes across the same error. but he/she just has to find said guide! once you search and find this guide, follow the instructions, if you do not understand something or simply cannot, i mean simply cannot find an answer or help to solve your problem, then i suggest you resort to asking a question. but, only as a last resort.
but, it has been my personal experience that everything i have needed has been either at this forum or found through google search. these developers have not only made me love my phone once again by developing such sweet ROMs, but they even wrote up some very easy to follow guides for the newbies so even we can enjoy them too!
so: research, read, follow instructions exactly as they say, only ask questions if you seriously cannot find the answer after doing some serious serious research, then proceed to flash your phone. hell...if this math lovin' accountant girl here can do it, i'm sure anyone can! but only after hours and hours and pages and pages of reading and researching.
p.s. the very first sticky in this q&a forum shows you what to do: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563679

thats right mate and theis fellow put htis in dev instead of q N a
he is right
this is a dev zone go to this link and google
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567610
and go to his wiki it will tell you how if you have the g1 from google is is all ready root
wow ! This is a record ! 20 mins and no one has bashed the starter of this thread? Lmao !
Its all good though man.. just read up on ROOT, SPLS and Requirements.. if you read the guide on how to root your phone, you SHOULD be up and running the latest cyanogen mod rom within the next half an hour.. be sure to READ the directions carefully.. and if your not sure about something, scroll through some of the posts in the thread.. 9 xs out of 10 someone has asked your question, and has received an answer... if there are too many pages to read, like let's say maybe 40 or more, jus go to google, and search for your problem.. this site plus some others may pop up and offer you some help.. good luck and welcome to the community !

If your post has a question mark in it, you most likely need to post your thread in the Q&A Section
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
granted, you did not use any question marks, but had you used correct punctuation, there would be.
Consider the parts of a rom you want to change. THEN look for answers or tutorials regarding those individual pieces. There is no one quide for creating a rom, but the tons of threads with tutorials for individual components that make up a rom will ultimately guide you to everything you could want to do.
i can't remember the exact name for it right now, but there was a thread about this a while back about starting to mess around with making roms. also there is a thread about unpacking and re-packing boot images which will probably some system understanding as well. I personally do not know how to go about making a rom from scratch, but i think they may have something about how to compile the source here or here. its worth a read anyways i guess.
people on here are dicks and hate to see someone wanting to learn something. like really hate it, with a passion.
being insulted from the guy that released a rom and didn't even know that it had to be signed (tested how)
Moved. Enough flaming.
It's like saying how do I build my computer from scratch. What do you really want? A how to guide that somehow already knows which type of ROM you want to cook, what you are planning to do with it, and teaches you how to use linux, java, and android all at the same time?

All wrong sectionry aside, you didn't find a thread or a guide because there isn't one.. It's something you'll kind of figure out when you're ready. It sounds like I'm being a total elitist d*ck, but I'm not. Knowing how to create a rom from scratch is a culmination of knowledge and research over a long time. If someone posted a step-by-step guide it still wouldn't tell you what you need to know.
thanks for the ACTUAL helpful comments guys i'll take a browse thru forums bit more for the stuff i wanna change\edit learn

Reallly....?
First off, this isn't even the right spot. Move to the Q&A section.
Second, use the SEARCH button.
I'm sure this has been answered several times.
wrong section
this question has been answered a million times if you just search
im in a good mood from beer so all i will say is this:
if you are rooted you dont even need to activate with most roms (and you can do it when you have wifi access)
next time, QUESTIONS GO IN THE QnA SECTION....cmon...is it really THAT difficuly?
just noticed from your signature that you are the idiot who asked us to magically improve your signal the other night
STOP POSTING IN THE WRONG BLOODY SECTION
atleast we can read what you are saying this time...

I vote they should, they make some of the best threads... But because they also have the stupidest questions to post a thread you have to answer an Android related question. Something a SEARCH would tell you. You know it reads the subject/post looks it up and tells them to answer their own question
a bit like ubuntu forums and the way they make you answer like "what is one plus four" to get results? but android related...

I think it would work. Like this thread, how to setup with out sim. The question would be
"If you don't have a sim card, how can you setup your phone?"
looks like we have jacked this thread....
more than appropriate for threads that jack sections if you ask me

So i have a question, and maybe its a quick answer, but when you are upgrading mods, is it best to do a complete wipe, and upgrade? Or is it better to just stack the builds? Thanks for the answers ahead of time!

Anyways depends what rom you go to, they all have there own rules. Hero wipe, ecliar wipe, donut you should be good without a wipe

What part of the 'Questions & Answers' section don't you understand?
Also read the requirements for each rom.
I knew i was i was gonna get flamed for posting in this section. My apologies, i was not aware of the Q/A section. I feel better about doing a complete wipe and doing a fresh install. I keep reading about these recovery imgs, i have one, that was created with Flashrec(Cyan 1.4) what is the .img of? Can you just replace that .img, if it was imaged while it while on the stock .img? I'm curious because if so you should be able go back and forth with ease in theory right?
