I just bought T Mobile G1 2 days ago, and I want to update it from 1.1 to 1.5
But I have different phone information from the tutorial that I read, so I'm still using 1.1 version.
This is the description:
Baseband version
62.33.20.08u_1.22.12.29
Kernel version
2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0
[email protected] #6
Build number
123099
I have no idea what RC number that I'm using.
Please Help mem I really want to update this phone to access some new application.
Thank you.
Are you rooted and in the US? If it is a stock US phone 1.5 should come OTA.
If you don't want to wait, see this: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-install-android-15-cupcake-us-version

Nope, I'm at Germany. OTA?! What is that?! Sorry, I new at this.
Is it the process save?Because I'm afraid it is only for US or UK.
OTA = over the air. Basically your phone service provider will automatically send you the update in a few days.
However, I am not knowledgeable about Germany, and don't know what OS version is used there, how OTA updates work, and most of all whether or not that link is a US only version (99% sure it is - especially because the link says "US version").
Good luck finding help.
you would probably just be better off rooting and getting the newest ROM.
here is the information i found most useful for me when i first rooted.
here are the links to Cyanogen's stable & experimental roms, i've used both and i personally love the experimental version.
hope this helps.
Use THIS guide. It is based on the one linked by davidchill but it has pics, updated links, changed wording for better clarification, and a few steps added to avoid confusion. Also when you are done with that there is a program in post #2 that will walk you through partitioning and do all the math for you.

Hi all,
long time reader/poster but in the WinMo forums.
Have passed to Android but im afraid im getting really frustrated at the moment. I have tried searching but there's way too much material here..
I have a couple of questions that I would really like someone to answer for me:
- I am trying to understand the different JF versions around.. how does this work? is there a post somewhere that explains?
- I am on UK RC9 stock, for the moment not rooted but planning to. if I do, what update should i install after rooting.. as in.. what version is newer than RC9? (RC33 is for US only..)
- my G1 is unlocked and im using a Vodafone SIM card (stock RC9).. will I get OTA updates as well or only if I am on TMobile?
- if I get OTA updates, should I maybe wait for a cupcake OTA before rooting?
Sorry if this sounds over-noobish, I still havent adapted to the android mentality hopefully soon tho.
I have read all the stickys (how to root etc) and I am technical enough to understand telnet etc but i miss the basics apparently.
Any help is HIGHLY appreciated.
Thanks for your help!

There are 3 JF versions. RC33 v1.42, RC9 v1.43 and ADP1.1h v1.43.
Since you state that you are on UK RC9 stock I would use the RC9 version if you decide to root.
Yes you will get OTA updates. Currently RC 9 is the latest for UK (RC33 is for USA).
If you are rooted you will probably be able to upgrade to cupcake/new update before you would get it OTA. There will be no advantage to waiting for a new update to root.
Thanks
Thanks very much for your help mate,
things are becoming much clearer the more I read into it.. but there's tons of it all over the place!

Greetings!
New to the Android scene and full of questions.
How can you determine from where did your G1 originate?
I recently bought an unlocked G1 from UK trough eBay (can't buy it where I'm from) but the installed version reads "kila-user 1.1 PLAT-RC33 126989 ota-rel-keys, release keys" which looks to me more like an USA version.
I would need it for a project, so my goal is to update it to Cupcake, either HTC's dev release or manual official T-Mobile update (once I'm sure of which release).
Big thanks for any pointers.

You have a US version phone. I'm not sure what else you are asking for. If your wanting to root it and load one of the custom roms here is the info.

Wasn't sure if it is an US or an UK version.
Thanks for the confirmation!
Hi, hoping someone, maybe Ansar, can help me. I have been unable to load latest ROM from the developer thread onto my HD7. Error 296 , needs a newer NBF File, is reported.
OS Version 6531.WM7_BldLab
(mojobbld).20100803-1911
Firmware revision number: 0.93.0.1
Hardware revison number: 0002
Radio software version: 5.45.56.18_22.18.50.06U
Radio hardware version: 2.22.0.D4
Bootloader version: 0.93.2250.0(105296)
Chip SOC version 2.2.5.0
Any help much appreciated, current version crashing, poor graphics...
Many thanks
Yeah thanks for the support guys.
How did you even manage to flash a Mojo build on your HD7?
Thats one of the early beta releases of wp7. Where did you get it from?
The rom you were loading to your hd7 was an early build of wp7, try loading an appropriate rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876451
Thanks for the replies guys. The ROM detailed above was on the device when I got it, but as you say its a very early build and very buggy. I have the device as a sample from HTC. I can wait for them to get me an updated version but that maybe sometime, so just wanted a quick solution if there was one.
None of the ROMs in Ansar's thread above seem to work, I have tried the HTC Europe and the Telstra ones, and O2DE, to no avail. Error 296 every time, "Upgrade Only, Try a Later ROM". Just wondering if there was a ROM out there that would work or some other procedure I need to follow. I am not technical.
Thanks for coming back to me anyway.

if you are not technically oriented, why would htc give you a "sample" device???
Er, to see if I would like to buy some?
you could make a goldcard and then flash a stock rom (real stock , not the modded rom's)
there are a view threads about goldcards so just use the search button
Many thanks I'll have a look
Hi,
I'm in the same boat az you are ! and I have the security unlocked sample of the HD7, so please let me know if you find any solution for this cause also I downloaded all of the roms in RMA and none of them worked with this device.
Thanks.
Hey guys, my friend has a T-Mobile locked Galaxy S (which he doesn't want to unlock) and he is still on 2.1, I could've sworn froyo had been released but he is saying kies is showing that no update is available, I never had this issue when I used to have my galaxy s, being unlocked meant I was always using the latest fw's. Just looking for some clarification on this issue, thanks in advance. On an unrelated note I will be rejoining android tomorrow or Tuesday, I have now sold my iPhone 4 in favour of the desire HD. P.S can a mod please delete my other thread titled "Has group been released for T-Mobile UK users?" as my stupid iPhone 4 renamed froyo to group, thanks.
Yes it has.

He may need to update to the latest Kies to get it "Kies 2"
If he cannot then details of his SGS's region and current software would be useful to get an answer.

As far as I understand (which isn't very much, to be honest), you probably can't flash the ATT version to your phone. But if you're interested in rooting your phone and all that, you can probably flash different ROMs that will keep you up to date with the newest Android releases, like CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, AOKP, OmniROM, etc. I don't have all the technical know-how, and I won't tell you which ROMs are "best" or even which are available; you can always check out the Android Development section for that stuff.

can anyone give me some information about that
