As a N00b you should at least read the Sticky posts, like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=528334 this one...
It's called:
"Don't Start A New Thread - Dream Questions & Answers Here!"

All questions should be posted in the Q&A Section. I'm not too familiar with the 1-click rooting since it's been out for less than 72hrs so from what I've heard the 1-click root flashes cyan's recovery for you so all you have to do is this:
-Download and flash newest radio
-Download and flash Hard SPL
-Wipe
-Download and flash CM v4.0.1
If you do it in this order I'm 99.99999% sure you won't brick your phone, but once again please post all future question in the Q&A section

Yes, this app worked perfectly for me ( cuz I dun wanna waste my time doing all the porcess of pulling the firmware back to RC29 ). If u have the latest radio, then just execute the .apk, turn off your phone right after doing all the required process from that app ( back up current img then Flash the 1.4 img from Cyanogen I remember ), then go into recovery mode and you have the newest recovery img. (Remember to put the CyanogenModv4.0.1 to your SD first). Then Wipe and Flash the update, and you're done

and it works without flashing SPL????

thx for moving
now the next ry to get good anwsers and not so stupid answers like the one form dan0zone

hard spl will not brick your phone. it is needed to flash roms from other regions than yours. hard spl is a good thing to have. also with it you can flash nandroid back ups and you can change your splash screen to further personalize your dream. enough said... go download it. flash it. if you have to wipe, then wipe. if you don't like wiping then you should not have rooted in the first place.

but to use this tool have id need to flash the SPL or works it with the original SPL too? in the manual and one the youtube video- there is no info about a need to flash the SPL.
all i want to know is:
can i just install this app, flash the new radio, run the backup, flash recovery, flash CFW, and iam done or not

yes you can do that. afterwards i would recommend flashing the hard spl.
you do not have to flash it, but it would be a good thing.

thanks, should i flash the radio befor i try to root my G1 with the 1-click rooting? or after i flashed the custom FW?

I used the "1-click root"
I followed all the steps and my phone is working fine, but how can you tell if its rooted?
Also, if it is rooted and I wanted to install the most current cyanogen ROM, do I have to install the new radio and SPL files?
Thanks in adv for putting up with my N00Bness.

what build do you have now? rc33? i would first update the radio. i would not mess with the newer spl as it has been known to brick phones. also did you install cynogen's recovery image? turn phone off then hold power button and home key when you turn it on to put you back into recovery image. it should say cynogen recovery 1.4 on top. it will have a number of options on the bottom nandroid backup, restore nandroid etc. if that cynogen"s recovery image is on the phone its rooted. after you flash the latest radio, i would flash jf 1.51 build then cynogens latest build. i heard the going to cynogens latest build will cause a bootloop if your not coming from another modded build.

To tell if the phone is rooted, download terminal emulator from the market and type su at the prompt. If the phone is rooted, the prompt should go from a $ to a #. If not, you will get a permission denied error message. If that is the case, probably go the old fashion way of rooting
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548924
As far as the SPL and radio, you don't need the danger SPL (haykuro's) but you will need to engineering SPL or hard SPL to install custom ROMs. As far as the radio, you want to latest radio to improve calls, bluetooth, etc.

hi im also new..
i did the 1 click root too. i did the back up, then flashed the 1.4. then the nandroid backup, then wiped the data, then flashed cyanogens 4.0.1. so im pretty sure im rooted.. and everything works too! except myfaves and the native im app.
but whats this about the radio? do i have to update that? i havent messed with the radio at all.. what are the dangers in this? if any?
and i haave no clue what the hell spl is lol

Need help with installing rom coming from root

I just rooted my g1 and i'm having problems trying to install cms rom.
some info;
DREA100 PVT 32B
HSPL10.95.3000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
Oct 20 2008
I installed cm's recover 1.4 img and have access to the recovery screen no problem.
Tired installing AP1.6 but can't confirm it got installed.
I did this..
wipe
flashed signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721
wipe
flashed cm 4.2.7.1
goes to the T-mobile screen, then it loads up cm's boot screen then after where it should take me to the setup screen, it turns gray/black and stays there.
please give me some imput on what i'm doing wrong.
Thanks!

You wipe, then you flash the ota update. Reboot and it will go back into recovery by itself. from there you install cm, without wiping. Reboot and you are good.

Ok i've done just that.
wiped
flashed ota, it goes back to recovery image
i flash cm 4.2.7.1
reboot and it does the same thing.
t-mo logo loads up. then cm's android bootscreen loads up.
then it goes gray/black and stays there.
i know im doing something wrong but not sure what... should i install a older cm rom first? since i'm coming from a fresh rooted g1? i was coming from rc29

it shouldn't make a difference. how much time did you wait? It could take up to 15 minutes for the first initial boot.

i've waited about 10mins. but even if it goes to the gray/black screen i should wait for it longer?
gonna redo this again and wait for a longer time. 20mins max and see where it goes from there.

Upgrade to amon_ra recovery 1.5
Then do this
Wipe
install ADP 1.6
flash cm rom right after flashing ADP without reboot
now reboot and it will go back to recovery mode
now reboot once again and wait my friend

I'm still waiting for about 20mins to see if it reboots good.
If not then i'll be doing the new amon_ra recovery 1.5 way.
should i install a older cm rom if coming from bare root?
or it doesn't matter if i'm flashing 1.6?

you might want to consider upgrading your spl while you're at it. Just a thought. I don't think it's necessary for running Cyanogen, but it'd be nice to have in case you ever want to run a hero rom to upgrade to the danger spl

where can i get the spl? I dont wanna install the danger one since I wont be installing hero on it. I just wanna run cm roms.

no luck still. but have another dumb question for you folks.
the spl i have is this. .. HSPL10.95.3000
is this ok to run cm or should i upgrade it? i know that there is a spl that is used to run hero roms but i'm not gonna be doing that so I thought that maybe there might be another spl out there that is a upgrade from the one i have?
gonna go search the forums for this btw. I dont wanna be a pain about this.

I was wondering if it was your spl that could be preventing the rom to boot up. If you don't want to flash the danger spl, you can flash another one, like the HardSPL. I'm sure if you look in one of the sticky's or locked threads at the top of the forums in development you will probably be able to find a download link. It's worth a shot. Since you already have the latest radio, there is no reason to worry about upgrading the radio.

i was checking the forums and i have the hard spl.
or at least this says is the hard one. goes something like this..
hardspl =VER: HSPL10.95.3000
then
Engineering SPL=VER: HBOOT-0.95.3000
and last
G1 Original SPL=VER: HBOOT-0.95.0000
still no luck with installing cm's rom.. gonna look some more.
thanks for all the help guys! please if you think of something else let me know.

ok can't figure this crap out. gonna go bald lol
did a restore on my recovery and i'm back to this.
Model number: Android Dev Phone 1
Firmware version: 1.6
Baseband version: 62.50s.20.1H_2.22.19.26I
Kerner version: 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37
[email protected] #19
Build number: dream_devphone-userdebug 1.6 DRC83 14721 test-keys
It does show the 1.6ADP
but what the hell lmao. I can't install cm though.
Not gonna touch the g1 right now till hopefully some of you can tell me how or what to do to upgrade my rom to hopefully cm4.2.7.1.
Again i'm really sorry for being soo needy.

oh crap. I think i lost root access again >_< crap
what's the best way to check to see if i still have root?
turned off phone and tried going into recovery but now it just shows the triangle ! and the phone pic. guess root is gone???

The newer Spl rearranges how mem is allocated so more is given to system partition on phone which allows larger roms to be installed(heros).Any SpL is fine for cyanogen/enom/dwang roms.

The triangle means root is no longer with you,young one.

ok, gonna root it again. i can get it to rc29 no problem but that's where the entire thing went wrong. will post later. wish me luck

ok rooted my g1 once again. gonna install the 1.4 recovery image now.
ok installed 1.4 recovery, now performing a backup for this point.
I think I have a old cm rom around somewhere.. .. its a 3.9.5cm should i update radio first then install this or visa versa?
+ok, installed 1.4 and flashed new radio. now gonna do what your saying and see where it goes. performing backups at each point >< lol
-ok i went to recovery and flashed the new radio and it's still formating cache... its been like 5mins already. should i reboot or wait longer?
i'm still needing to install the 1.6ADP and the rom still.

Don't reboot between the 2 zip files.
Boot to recovery
do a wipe
wipe it again for good measure
install from zip signed dev dream zip
install from zip Cyanogenmod 4.2.7.1
reboot
It will tell you it is writing radio then actually reboot
It will reboot to recovery mode
where it will tell you its writing cache...
wait till it offers reboot option again
Reboot
you shoul dget the G1 screen, than the cyanogen screen...
yes it might take a while on the second screen...I have never had it hang more than about 8 minutes.
Then you should be operational.
I do have a reoccuring issue with poor response after the initial boot to the desktop.
I usually just wait for it to stop all the background shuffling and then it smooths out.
YMMV

ok this is where i am so far...
have root
have hardspl
have recovery 1.4
have Radio Update 2.2.19.26I
now i'm gonna perform backup and do what you just said. hopefully since i did everything brand new there will be no issues.

So... Would this work? [G1]

Hello everyone.
I have done a lot of reading and searching regarding rooting a G1. There are so many guides and resources out there I was wondering if you guys could point me to the best (safest?) way to do it.
I have been thinking of rooting it for months due to the benefits I can get once I have done it but the thought of bricking it has been stopping me from doing it. I want to get it over with now and would appreciate if you guys can point me to the best guide and the best rom (I know there is many, I would like speed, stability and some nice features would be cool). I have a G1, I live in the UK and it is supplied by T-Mobile. I keep it up to date with the OTA updates so I think I will have to downgrade which I believe is shown in most guides? If there is any info you guys need, please say.
I would be really thankful if I got some help, it's not something I want to do without proper knowledge (which all of you have). Is it easy enough to do if I follow the instructions and make sure my battery is charged enough?
Also, can we in the UK flash the radio, is that meant to be tampered with, what are the pros and cons of doing that?
Thank you so much.
EDIT -----------------------------
Please look at post #6, I made a list of what I think I need to do.

I would suggest finding the 1-click root to make it easy for you. Then, flash the 1.6 HTC image like all builds based off of Cyanogen's build environment require now and then flash @wesgarner's build for the fastest most stable build available.

Here's how to root your phone... nice and simple....
The one click root doesn't work if you've upgraded your phone to the OTA 1.6 update.
So the old instructions would be a safe bet since i don't know if you have 1.5 or 1.6.
Follow these instructions: http://www.myhangoutonline.com/2009/11/20/how-to-root-your-g1/
Then upgrade your radio and SPL from here: http://www.myhangoutonline.com/2009/11/22/upgrade-radio-recovery-spl/
Then if you want to upgrade to the newest CM build do this:
Before you install the Cyanogenmod 4.2.7.1 ROM you need to install the HTC 1.6 Dev Rom first.
HTC took it off their website, i have it uploaded on my site...
do this: ( This is for HTC Dream (G1) )
CLEAR YOUR EXT PARTITION or REPARTITION YOUR CARD to get rid of any Incompatible files.
Download CM 4.2.7.1 -> http://www.myhangoutonline.com/downloads/?did=17
Download HTC Dream Image 1.6 -> http://www.myhangoutonline.com/downloads/?did=6
Place them both on the root of your SDCard.
Reboot your phone into recovery mode...
1. WIPE
2. Install HTC Dream Image
3. Hit Reboot when it's done (and keep an eye on the phone!)
4. you will see the little picture with an arrow (radio installation), WHEN YOU SEE THE PHONE REBOOT HOLD THE HOME KEY. It should reboot right back into recovery.
5. Now install the CM ROM
6. Reboot and you're done...
Hope that helps!

Thank you all for the information and links.
I have been doing a lot more reading today and think I might go with Dwang's rom. From what I understand (to do it the quick way) I need to revert my G1 back to Cupcake (RC7 for europe?) from Donut 1.6. Then Download the recovery flasher and flash a recovery image, do I use Amon Ra's? Do I then load the rom, then the theme afterwards? I hear people mentioning the radio, is it a necessity for the G1 that I mess with the radio? Is it easy to brick the phone doing it this way?
Thanks again for the help and understanding .

After watching this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCG9XhFmoEw
Could you guys tell me if this would work?
1. Format my SDCard. Transfer the old android (RC7?) image, Amon Ra's recovery image, Dwerg's rom and a nice theme made for the rom to the SD card.
2. Can I use the telnet thing to flash the Aman Ra recovery image?
3. Power off.
4. Power on holding the camera button and the power button and then downgrade my version. Reboot.
5. Turn on and set up my google info. Press enter twice and type "telnetd" and press enter. Proceed to the market and download the telnet app.
6. Run the app, and type in what's needed to flash the new recovery image. Again, can I use Aman Ra's? I'm unsure what to type but I will try and figure it out.
7. Power off.
8. Power on holding the Home and power keys, which should bring me to the new recovery image.
9. If I am flashing Dwerg's do I need to flash 1.6 first like you need to do for CM? Or is that a CM only thing? Flash the rom.
That should be it? Would doing it that way work ok? Less chance of bricking? There was no mention of radio flashing or anything.
Hopefully you guys can help me out.

Tutorial: Install Froyo on N1 - READ TO INSTALL FROYO

Here's a basic tutorial I wrote up to install Froyo on the N1. Seems like most are having trouble with it. All Files Included. Follow the steps as listed. Report any problems but I have yet to hear from anyone about any issues... Enjoy!
My Way also updates to the newest radio. New radio includes new Video Encoders so you'll want to try the new radio first.
Tutorial Here
Please Post your Results - Feedback. Thank You.
If you try any optional kernels, try .34 kernels, not 33.4. There is positive feedback w/ .34kernels + new radio. If you're using the Old Radio and a 2.1 Build then stay on the 33.4 kernels.
I know it's redundant to install CM first as it mostly gets overwritten. Again, these are the steps I took and it's what's worked for me and others. Don't skip steps, if you have any issues let me know. I also just updated the CM 5.0.7 to Final, it's not test-3 anymore.
Like I always say... ENJOY!

+1 - Worked like a charm

The N1 can't boot up and hang on the 4color logo after flash the CM 5.0.7, what can I do now ?

Did you wait for the radio update to finish (the picture of the box with the arrow coming out of it pointing to the android) and have it go back to the recovery screen again?
The instructions don't appear to make any mention of the radio flash & reboot. I also don't see the point of installing the Cyanogen ROM first, what's the benefit of doing this considering the majority of it gets overwritten by the FroYo /system flash anyway, and the gapps all get replaced as well. (Cyan installs nothing to the /data partition).

Try the tutorial again, the radio part wasn't the issue as you haven't even gotten to that step yet. I re-uploaded CM 5.0.7 to final, it's not test 3 anymore... Try again and post results please... and follow steps exactly. As far as doing CM first, it's not necessary, I just include that step because it's how I did it and it works great for me and everyone who's tried it this way.
Also, make sure you do the prerequisites first like installing the recovery

Why not just load up FRF50 straight up, why the need for the EPE54B, and CM 5.0.7?

Again, this is the way I used and it worked... Also, there are 2 update.zip's floating around. 1 Is an update from 2.1 to 2.2 and one is the full update.
Better safe than sorry

I keep getting a.core process force close but just live with it
I no longer see ROMs by Cyangon or Jesus Freak so what ROM should i jump to next? i would still like 5 screen and the power control widget. once I upgraded to what I have I lost the multi touch zoom
please try to keep the flaming to a min.
thanks in advance

you evidently haven't looked on the second page of dev forum... Cyan's up to Eclair 2.1 already...

Just search.... then read.... I like to start at the top of the page somewhere around a sticky

Does anyone else find it deliciously ironic that a guy called "Trial&error" is asking what to do next, instead of finding the best thing for him by a process of trial and error?

well i dont want another bricked G1
i have the cyanogenMOD v1.4 + JF boot recovery image
my G1 is rooted if i didn't mention that earlier
so if i understand everything correctly i need to:
1) radio update [G1-radio-2_22_23_02.zip]
2)nandroid
3)wipe
4)dangerSPL
5)CM5.x
6)gapps

Fair enough about the brick. Most of the newer ROM specify what has come to be known as the "death SPL" which if the proper steps are not taken and the proper hardware is not owned, can produce such a paper weight.
Anyway, SuperE hands down IMO if you want Eclair (2.1) or SuperD (if ya wanna stick to Donut/1.6). Also, there are several posts detailing how to shrink a ROM to try and avoid the possible brick from SPL updates. Just look around in the development section; its ALL there...
Good luck!

I followed the instructions here :
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/DangerSPL
This is what I did :
My radio was already OK so I
copied the SPL, ROM, Gapps to the root of my card,
did a Nandroid backup,
wiped my card,
flashed the SPL, rebooted, finished the SPL install,
Installed ROM and Gapps, rebooted
I then booted into recovery and restored the Nandroid and then flashed the new ROM again as the Nandroid restores it to CM 4.whatever it was.
Seems a lot of farting about but it worked. I had to reinstall a few of my apps but most of them worked straight off. One thing - I had to enable Apps2SD again but everythings fine after I did that.
Hope this works....

1) radio update G1-radio-2_22_23_02.zip
