put that file you downloaded on the root of your sdcard, rename it to update.zip or just update in windows. power off your phone. hold home and power to boot your phone into the recovery console. press alt and l to show text if none is showing, then press alt and s to apply update.zip from sdcard. when it is done, press home and back to reboot.
1. there are stickies for a reason.
2. a development forum is not a place for a question not directly related to development (and then most questions should not be posted there)
3. you have just been told.
4. sadly for you, i am about as nice as they get.

do i have to have the dreaimg.nbh on my card as well?

no, that is only for when you downgrade to rc-29, after you have downgraded you can remove the DREAIMG.nbh from your sdcard (i would keep it on my computer though for future use.)

at the top when i hit alt + l it said error cant open E:/ cahe / something or other ... am i in trouble?
also, everyone is always talking about flashing this and flashing that on here, is that all you do is download the rom and rename as update and boot the phone? every damn how to thread seemed quirky ...

is your sdcard formatted to fat32? also is the whole name of the file update.zip?

yeah i reformatted to fat32 ... i had everything right and then all of a sudden i couldnt locate a link that worked for cynaogen (sp?) 4.0.4 or whatever so i said screw it and wanted to unroot it ...
btw, the update worked i have 1.5 now, but it still said that at the top after alt + l ... i dunno

don't know about the error then
i have a link for 4.0.4 and 4.1.11.1 on my 4shared account

man do i sound like i know what a 4shared account is, or where to find it? ... thanks for the help btw ... i thought this forum was dead but i guess there are some people who post in here frequently ...
o one last thing, the reason why i ultimately decided to unroot is because when i started with the recovery image i believe and i entered the SU at the beginning of the code is said access denied ... i searched the forum and it said download something else but that link was dead as well ...
i dont know if youre a mod david but i think it would be useful to create one thread where you can flash to look exactly like the iphone ui ... i'm talking an all inclusive with the most basic of directions and detailed commands ... there are a few in depth all encompassing reviews but a simple thread named "Hero For G1" with everything you need would help a lot ...
thanks again ...
edit... can i remove the zip file "update" from my sd card now?

nawh i am not a mod, 4shared is like mediafire or rapidshare. its just a place you can upload files to and give put links to it. the reason all the links are dead now are because of all the recent crap between google and cyanogen. i am not really all that good at making tutorials (i lose steam about halfway through)
also the update.zip file is no longer need.
if you want to root your phone again, i can pm you all the files and you can use the one click root method in my sig.
also as far as i am aware there is no iphone theme or ui really available though there could be an app on the market that emulates it.

Major Help To Noob.

Hello Xda-Developers..
Well to make a very very long story short.. I got major phone problems. It started when I decided to Mod. My phone and followed a guide on Youtube to Mod/Jailbreak your phone. And I must admit it worked.. But it took a toll on me. Ok this is exactly what I did.. I moved the Dreamin.nbh file into my SD card.. Held down the Power + Camera button and everything seemed ok. Basically I followed everything step by step and it worked ok.. When I was finished rooting it I installed Jfrek-Rc33 followed the steps to do that.. When I got it on I was very excited.. after. While of reading about it I decided to go and get my old Apps back on my phone.. I went on the market and I couldn't find any of them.. I looked into downloading it online and I still couldn't... Did I do something wrong?? I looked around and didn't find anyone with this problem. I am now running RC-29... so where do I go from here =(... I'm regreting doin this -cries-
PROBLEM SOLVED
How did i solve my problem...?
1. When i modded my phone i rooted it normally and installed a version of JF-RC33.. Turns out this version wasn't compatible with the Market and i could not see a bunch of apps that i previously had with no problem.. So i downgraded to RC29 again and re-rooted my phone following This Guide.
2. After i followed that guide i installed CyanogenMod V4.0.4 Witch turned out to be pretty awesome.. And exactly what i was looking for.
3. Fingerlickin asked me to install a recovery but i had no idea.. What this "recovery" would do.. Until he explained a little and its actually something like a windows restore point just for your G1 witch you can get by following this guide and its majorly recommended.. .
Note: I didn't really understand the Recovery guide.. Until Fingerlickin guided me step by step.. (lol) With the installation of CyanogenMod you should have an APP called Terminal Emulator.. Click on it.. And type SU and hit enter. After that it should ask you if you want to allow this and just hit "Allow" When you move on the next screen type flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img and hit enter again. Next hit home and reboot in recovery mode by hitting Home + Power button... and there should be a couple of options different than before and just hit ALT + B or scroll to "nandroid backup". And tada! you created a restore point =)
4. Next i installed the RaDio from This website this "radio" is pretty much the "drivers" for your phone.. .. Anyways after installing the recovery you can install zip files into your phone without renaming them.. So just download that file put it into your SD card and turn your phone off.. Turn it on in recovery mode (home+power) and hit Alt + A or scroll down to "apply any zip from sd" and there you go! got your Radio on and you should be all set =)
So following those steps is how i fixed my problem.. Of course thanks to Fingerlickin for his awesome patience with me lol.. as you can tell. Hopefully someone uses this little guide i put together and if they have the same problem they now have something to turn to for a solution =D. Thanks again to Fingerlickin.
.. OK bye now. *walks out and closes the door*
going back to rc29 removed you root, follow the root process again but instead of installing JF, use cyanogen 4.0.4 (stable) when you're done we can look into what ever problem you are having with the market which I am unclear what that problem is at this point but it doesn't matter.
Sorry to be soo uninformed about this.. But by reroot do you mean download Telnet + Terminal Emulator.. And do that process again? But right now while running Rc29 I have the Wifi tether for root users.. and its working wouldn't that mean that I do have root?.. Just wondering >.<
As long as you keep using RC29 you have root.
You also have an invite on gtalk
You can use this guide here to help out with your rooting woes ^_^

Does the One-Click-Root method still work? As I've read mobiles after August, Google had already patched the exploit?

i have heard that google has had the exploit long since patched, but that it is up to the carriers to send out the update. it will mostly be done away with when donut is released.
since he was running a JF ROM he would be able to do the one-click-root, but david and neoblade is right I've heard alot of people with new phones say it doesn't work.
Cyanogen has also patched it in his ROM's.
I didn't realize carriers already sent out the OTA's. Last I heard was that it would be sent along with donut like david mentioned

I ^%%* it up

Guys, I don't have the original image and the only image I have on my SDcard is eclair 2.0-1.2
I am just upset with the OP for providing insufficient instructions and I am very unaware of the previous setup required before doing it so.
I am in recovery mode and my G1 keeps rebooting over and over since I wipe the factory default.
I apologize for not using the search button because I don't see any answers, or maybe I just want direct answer.
Sorry, I have to ask this, how do I recover the image on my G1? I have it connected to my PC but it's currently in recovery mode right now.
Please provide me detailed step to step what I need to do. Thank you for your time and effort, this is upsetting me big time.

Ps. if your in rec mode then your not bricked
Brick=cant turn on G1 pr G1 is stuck @ Splash screen
Gotta give props for the thread title ... is very attracting ... lol
Stop blaming the guys making the ROMS for your own F-up.
Learn to read the instructions.
ALL of them.
Don't blame them for the fact you didn't read THIS :
first you will need these things haykuro spl,ext3/linux-swap if you dont have it and if you do wipe them clean
The please provide links for those kinds of software.
I am really upset that no one will help me
Oh lordy!

You should be upset at yourself for not reading the clear instructions that are inherent in nearly every ROM update procedure. READ the instructions.

Searching forums before diving blindly into processes like these will certainly save you frustration and a bricked device. Again, blaming someone else for your laziness isn't exactly the route you should take.

quit hating ppl help noob out, which version of recovery r u using ? or is it stock recovery? Which rom r u trying to flash? If u r using stock recovery u should b serching for something like Fastboot or adb, if u using cyan's or RA's recovery that just find different room to flash.It would b nice to know Phones specs...SPL, Radio, REcovery etc. just like what i got in my sig.
For future references post in Q&A thread or where is the ROM u flashed is, Provide some info if u need help.
I am using standard recovery. I tried Droid Explorer and no luck.

Since you're too cocky and too ignorant to do most of the things on here, I suggest you put your phone back to stock as soon as you figure out how to flash images. Get the "recovery image" from here http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html, then go ahead and get a card reader, drop the file on the reader, rename it update.zip, boot into recovery, alt+s to flash it, alt+w to wipe, then reboot.

ok then go here and set up adb after u done follow the link in my sig to flash RA 1.5.2 recovery. After u get RA recovery find the rom u need to flash id suggest Cyans rom or WG and make sure ur SPL and RAdio is uptodate.
Good luck.

I started reading through that, downloading the files that it said to download but I'm stuck at the "1.6 Recovery Image" file. The link goes to a page that offers files for the Android DevPhone, but I just have a normal TMobile G1. What file am I supposed to use?

I apologize, stupid SEO plugin was rewriting the url and messing up a seperate plugin. Links are now working if you still need to upgrade.
My tutorial shows you how to root and upgrade everything and install cyanogenmod 4.2.15.1 if you want to try the 2.1 version which is in testing, go to the cyanogenmod repository on my site, go into the testing folder for the G1 and download that rom instead. Use that rom instead of 4.2.15.1 as the final step.

If you have gtalk pm me your gtalk email and I'll try and step you through it if you absolutely can't figure it out.
Thanks for all the answers! I think I have a good understanding of what I need to do now, so here goes...
*crosses fingers*
I'm following the instructions on myhangoutonline.com.
Well, so far so good, with some minor hiccups:
During the downgrade your phone step, when the phone says "Press the action key" after step 6, it's talking about the trackball button. Took me a little while to figure that out.
However, after I pressed it, it just went back to the initial multicolor gradient screen, with the addition of a line in the middle that said "Serial0". (maybe it was there before, but I missed it?) I ended up having to pull the battery because I could figure out how to make it reboot.
After reboot I had to go through the Google sign in process. Not a big deal, but it'd be nice to mention that this is necessary.
Upgrading recovery seemed to go pretty much as described. On to the apparent dangerous step of upgrading the radio & spl!
Uh oh! It looks like something didn't work. I started up in recovery mode, but there's no option in the menu for "Mount SD card".
I tried going to console, then "ls /sdcard", but no files show up, and /sdcard doesn't show up as a mounted filesystem when I run "mount".
I couldn't figure out how to get out of the console ("exit" just took me back to a "press enter" prompt, and then back into the console), so I ended up pulling the battery again.
Now what? Should I try upgrading recovery again?

Coming back to Android! yay!

Hello,
Ok apologies first, i'm sorry.
secondly, i've come back to my g1 after a horrible experience with Htc Hd2, the phone is lovely but unfortunately i am a android advocate.
Thirdly, i have searched and read and read and read (get the idea?) about upgrading downgrading, firmwares, cyanogen's, eclairs, donuts.
Basically ive now put myself in a confused bin, and would like anyones help.
I rooted my g1 ages ago, i now see you can run 2.1 on it? well that is what ive read.
But i am just completely lost from where to go now because it is already rooted
Firmware: 1.6
kernel: 2.6.29.6-cm42
mod: cyan 4.2.4
build DRC83
AND have a micro sdhc (4) 4gb card, now i have no idea what to do, i'm a completely novice at this and would appreciate any step by step instructions.
You'd better hit the ground right now if you know whats good for you
Straight from the original post of Cyanogen Mod 5.0.8's thread with minor modifications by myself.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First time flashing CM-5?
1. Root your device and install Clockwork Recovery (ROM Manager on the market) or Amon_RA's recovery (Dream / Magic)
2. Do a Nandroid backup!
3. Install the DangerSPL if you don't already have it Install the radio BEFORE flashing the SPL!!!!!! OR YOU WILL KILL YOUR PHONE
4. WIPE (I cannot guarantee an upgrade from CM-4.2 to CM-5 will work)
5. Install the ROM
6. Reboot
7. Skip setup go to Menu / Settings / Applications and enable Apps 2 SD.
8. Reboot
6. Install the Google Addon if you want Google Applications like Gmail and Market
- Upgrading?
1. Do a Nandroid Backup!
2. Install the ROM (your Google apps will be backed up and restored automatically)
HOW TO REPORT BUGS OR PROBLEMS?
- Was it a hard reboot? Get me the file "/proc/last_kmsg".
- Was it a soft reboot or a "boot loop"? Run "adb logcat" and get me the full output.
- Pastebin links preferred
- Please use the issue tracker whenever possible!

It's because this thread is actually the disguise for the biggest development project Android has ever seen.

playing nice is way overrated.
OP:
Just go to Cyanogen's wiki and follow the instructions for coming from 4.X.
Since you are already rooted all you should have to do is:
1. wipe
2. install cyanogen (or whatever ROM) from recovery
3. don't forget Gapps!
Hi, thanks for most of your replies! Besides the one who is trying to mess up my phone, how kind of you.
So basically, because this is what i am
1. wipe <<< this means formatting the sd card? not partitioning it? or anything else?
2. install cyanogen (or whatever ROM) from recovery <<< how do i do this? i will download cyanogen when i find it and after 12 tonight (on t-mobile they cap dloads between 4pm an 12am :< )
3. don't forget Gapps! << before or after i do the above ^?
It took me 3weeks to root it, this should be great! :/ Plus when i start it means i have no internet then (i use my g1 teather) so ill format my sd card, dload the rom, and then hey presto?
really thanks alot again...
ps because i'm already rooted, i don't need to follow rogers dream do i?
once i format the sd card and then install the cyn rom that should be it? Pleeease help
no...don't format your sd
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...or_other_rooted_ROMS_to_5.0.x(Dream/Sapphire)
Follow that guide and you will be all set.
I am very upset that step 4 was deleted. That was the most important one.
i'm trying to find a download for the cynmod but now i have come across 5.0.8!< it was .7 before so should i download the new one do you think?
ok this is what i'm going to do....
1. Boot into Fastboot (Power on the phone holding the camera button) This will either show a screen with dancing androids or a "rainbow" splash. Here you will find the hboot/radio version:
* radio 1.x: You will need to upgrade this to a 2.x radio before running this process.. please upgrade and re-do this step (Ie. verify you see the updated radio in fastboot before continuing) <<<<How do i do this?
* radio 2.x: You may press MENU+SEND+END at the same time and proceed (unless hboot-1.33.2005 is installed; indicating you already have dangerSPL)
2. Copy DangerSPL (spl-signed.zip), CM 5.0.x, and gapps-ds-ERE36B (& Ebi1 port if required) to the root of your sdcard.
3. Reboot/Boot into your custom recovery by holding down the 'home' key before the G1 splash appears.
4. Make a Nandroid Backup (ext not required) (recommended for upgrading users, not required for freshly-rooted users) <<<i don't need to do this?
5. Flash DangerSPL (spl-signed.zip). It will install and then ask you to reboot to finish the installation, so reboot. It will then finish installing and reboot into recovery so you can flash your ROM. <<<so i flash by pressing alt+f?
6. Once back into recovery Wipe Data/Factory Reset <<< alt+w?
7. Flash CM 5.0.x THEN gapps-ds-ERE36B (& Ebi1 port if required); then reboot (Boot may take longer than normal) <<< i don't understand this bit.
8. Login to Android/Google as per usual
as you can see i'm kinda in a mess here, any info would be so grateful.
Do a search for Amon Ra's recovery in this forum, and flash that per his instructions in the first post. Then when you hold home while starting your phone, (keep holding home), you will boot into recovery. From there, you will be able to wipe, format, patition, etc. your SD card, and do a number of other things as well.
Other than that, follow Cyanogen's instructions as posted earlier in this thread.

Problem after ROOT

Hi , I have a Desire C and I rooted the phone recently I installed the recovery from teamwin last version,
all good untill here , then I installed cynogetmod v10 and when the phone starts I can't find Google Play and no previous apps that were installed on the phone.
How can I reinstall the app, I tried from the phone to install the google play , but it says that the app is already installed on the phone.
I tried deleting the apps from the pc in google play but , can't find the remove button for any of the apps...
I just bought the phone and it's my first android until now so if your gonna reply please define your words.Cuz I don't understand everything.
Did you flash gapps after flashing cyanogenmod?
I don't know what that is, but I knew I forgot something. So how do I do that ?
U need to enter on your boot menu ,and install google apps thing (i need to check exactly how,and will whisp asap) ...too bad, most ppl here dont want to explain how things works.They were newbies ,once.

You need to go to the thread of the rom you downloaded. Download the gapps package.
Then go to recovery mode, click on install. Then select the zip file. It was mentioned in the instructions..

I don't know if it was directed at me. But I can tell you that there are tons and tons of guides that 'explain how things work'. It is up to the new user to read them.
I answer the questions under the assumption that the user has read 'atleast' the threads that are stickied in the general and development section of this forum.
If you read the FAQ thread in the general section, you will see that the question "What is Gapps?" has been clearly answered. So i was working under the assumption that the user knows what gapps is..
I replied quickly because I was on my phone , not on the pc and I was with my car at the mechanic.So no time for search about gapps , but I did read all the forum and honestly I could not find the thing again, cuz I know I read somewhere about this , but I could not find that thread again..
And the flashing I experienced it without the tutorial , I briefly read what it was said and went to work on it. That's the best way for me to learn to do things.

If you read the main CM10 thread, there is a big link written in big words. "Gapps". Click this very long text to download gapps and flash it through recovery. I need to remind you that you are going to need to flash a kernel as well and you need a PC for that.
so ur taking me for a fool now ?
I just mentioned that there are 10 versions of the gapps I think I was very specific.

I gave you a link from which you can download the one you need. Did you even bother checking the link? Click my comment above, download it, and then flash it.

No offence, but while that method may work for other things, for anything related to your phone, always read first!
And never try to skip instructions or skim pass them.
You could end up with am expensive paperweight (or brick)!
