I have being trying to root my G1 so it will work with wifi tether app. but it just will not work. I have followd the instructions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480 and it comes up with no errors but the wifi app insists the phone is not rooted.
Incidentally I downloaded the dreaming software to downgrade the phone from RC9 to RC7 as per instructions.....
What am I doing wrong?? It's doing my head in
Not to sound like a jerk or anything but often times its one very minor detail (at least I) skipped over. Only thing I can say is to go back and try it again. If you did "Everything" right as it says to on the guide then there may be no way for us to tell what you did "wrong" if you did everything right. Know what I mean?

1: don't type in all caps. nobody likes being yelled at.
2: you started another thread for something that you've asked several times? not cool.
3: people on here have been extremely helpful for you, but you start a new thread every time you don't get an answer after an hour of waiting. not how it works.
4: people may be getting upset with you because you're not being a particularly pleasant person either.

thanks jamb, i followed your route and it was much easier. thankyou
Your welcome mate
when i ran though the steps, i got to the end and everything was how it should be.
as id been messin with it foe ages i decided to end there, and i posted all was well abouve.
ive tried to install to roms today both never worked so i must be doinf something wrong.
heres what ive been doing.
empty sdcard, put the rom on it still zipped and renamed to 'update' . insert sd into G1 then boot via home ad power. when ! screen apears press 'alt L' then sellect wipe data followed be install update.zip. then reboot.
once rebooted im still with the original 1.5 .
when i do the wipe and update.zip to me it seems to quick (like 3 seconds for both).
any help peeps
just noticed that that whan i attemp the updat.zip it states update terminated so ive fond my problem ive also noticet that the spl didnt update, even thou it looked last night if all was ok????
going to run through the steps again and see if anything changes. il update later
hi jamb can you gice me a diect link to the spl you used please i thnk that is where im going wrong
here ya go mate
DANGERSPL
sheers jamb, i just keep getting the same msg once i try the update.zip
varifying update package.....
E:No signiture (5 files)
E:Varification failed
Instalation aborted
im at a loss now. any ideas???
What recovery are you using? the alt L thing makes me think you are still using stock.
If you are using RA you don't need to rename it to update.
im using recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img
ihave just tried to use the one u are using but flashrec wouldnt see it, imreally at a loss now.
i just tried to install android stoc 1.0, so that i could start again but that to wouldnt install. so it looks like i may be stuck with 1.5 for now atleast.
edit- it wernt the one u have it was the recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2.img i tried second
mate u have Uk model?right
just intall flashrec and 1.6.2 recovery image
start flashrec / in the box type something like
/sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2.img
then flash it dont interpt then process and u got root ...
note : put img file in the root(main) of ur sd card
thanks for your help jamb, but i seem to have damaed the boot loader somewhere on my rooting journey ,
i think i know where i done it as after post one, and before post two, i did (i think) get root and managed to flash superCSDIv14, (i got the custom spash with the android bot peeking from behind the A) but after the splash the phone just went black.
when i got your first post i decided to follow that post, i managed to flask android 1.0, then update to 1.5 then from that point i couldnt flash nothing, i even tried to flash back to 1.0 at one point.
last night i went to bed thinking that id be stuck with 1.5, but when i woke, i made the QTA upgrade msg on my phone so i ran it and now am back to where i started 1.6 (which is good cos google nav was released yesrerday)
as the OTA update worked all must not be broken so i decided to start again and tried to flash 1.0, it just faid so. my friend i am giving up, thank you for your time.
stephen.
its been two days now since i gave up on my root of the G1 and am starting to get the craving to start tinker with t againg, i dont want it to beat me.
can anyone outthere shed anylight on my plight. also give me some pointers.
So I purchased an HTC Dream from a friend and learned all about the wonders of rooting, and found what i thought was going to be a simple step by step guide to upgrade my phone to android 2.1, and was encouraged to use it after reading all the positive comments. I can't post the link to it as I'm a new user, but you can find it by entering "guide on how to root your htc dream to 2.1" into google, the article is on adroidheadlines.com...
I followed it step by step until I got to step 20. After entering:
adb reboot bootloader
i got "error: closed." Being stupid, I looked around on the internet and came across a page that said putting a file called "DREAIMG.nbh" onto the root of my sd card would fix all my problems. Unfortunately for me I did, and then used fastboot which i (think) flashed that rom (i think that's the right lingo, anyway) To my surprise, I turned on my phone to see "T-Mobile G1" on my screen as opposed to the regular "ROGERS" logo. My phone won't move past that screen and won't even boot into recovery or fastboot. I have this gut feeling i've bricked the damn thing and am looking for someone to tell me it isn't so.
Any help at all would be appreciated, and i can't seem to find anyone else on the internet stupid enough to have made the same mistake, which is never, ever a good sign.
so, i am extremely new to this and i failed miserably. I tried rooting my phone and i guess it didn't work and now i have a reboot recovery loop. Tried fixing that and now i have a firmware upgrade encountered an issue. So I tried using odin and your files here, but it just keeps failing. So i am lost. Don't know what to do next. Maybe it's the driver idk. I have a S5 SM-G900A. Please help. Thanks. OH i just found this random post, because i am in need of some help. Sorry in advance if i sound dumb.
well thanks anyway
I figured it out. Took me a while. Sadly I'm back to step one.
