ADP to Cyanogen

Ok I have been reading up on some posts and figured out that I have an adp rom on my G1 when I bought it. I know I can access root, because when I use the terminal I get # after inputting su. My question is, do I just upload the cyanogen rom now?

yes you can follow these instuctions
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Upgrading_From_Older_CyanogenMod_Versions
if you dont have CM-1.4 or AmonRA's recovery, i would recommend you update to them

so i need to upload android 1.4 recovery image, then upload 1.6 recovery and do the rest?

Yup. just dont get confused by the terminology.
the 1.4 recovery image is where you flash the update.zip i.e the the screen the comes up when you hold home+power
the 1.4 version adds a lot of features including flashing any zip on the root of the sdcard, regardless of the name
the HTC 1.6 is actually an update.zip which contains the stock ADP ROM
Make sure you follow the instructions very carefully or you will end up doing more work than you bargained for lol

[HELP] My G1 Won't Go Past The G1 Screen.

Alright.
Title basically explains it all. I'm not an expert at messing around with my phone, but I'm not a novice either.
I do everything through trial and error. My phone has the correct Radio and SPL. Yes, I flashed the Radio before the SPL. The phone isn't bricked because it will go into recovery mode. But apart from that, it's all that it will do.
I was running RA's V1.5.1 recovery. Now it's at JFV1.43.
I think my mistake was trying to update from ADP1 straight into Cyanogens 4.2.7.1.
I had a ADP1 phone and tried to update to Cyanogens 4.2.7.1, and everything just went downhill from there. I never managed to accomplish my set goal, which was to flash and run Cyanogens 4.2.7.1.
Then when that didn't work. I tried downgrading to RC29 and just re-rooting my phone. By this time I was running RA's recovery V1.5.1. That went as planned until I flashed the latest radio and spl and wanted to upgrade to the modified version of RC30. I flashed the RC30 ROM. At this time, it wouldn't get past the blinking Android screen with the bot. I thought it kept on getting stuck there because it required the hard spl. Whether the latest spl and the hard spl are the same thing, I don't know. I flashed the hard spl. That's where my stupidest mistake probably happened. That's when my phone decided it didn't want to go past the G1 screen when rebooting/booting.
Is there anything I can do in order to fix this? And can someone explain to me a proper method of flashing Cyanogens 4.2.7.1 ROM? Is there anyway I can connect with my phone through adb on JFV1.43 recovery and just flash RA's V1.5.1 recovery through there and push a new ROM?
Frustration builds. Lol.
What I want to have on my phone is RA's V1.5.1 recovery with Cyanogen's 4.2.7.1 with the Eclair theme.
Many thanks in advance to whomever decides to grant me some much needed help.

OK, as long as you can still access your Recovery menu then you're not bricked.. so smile lol.
Rememeber, 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!

I'll try that and see how it goes. One question though, do I rename them to "update.zip" like always, or no? I'm gonna get an sd card reader to follow through with the procedure you gave me.
Thanks a lot.

If you are still showing recovery JF1.43, update your recovery first to either AR 1.5.1 or CM1.4. Once that is done, you won't need to rename anything, just select the update any zip option from recovery.

Dont reboot in between the htc image & cyanogen rom..It even says that on his site..This is what to do..
1. wipe
2. update from and zip the pick the htc image
3.update any zip and pick the cyanogen rom
4.Now reboot
5.should go to recovery and reboot one more time
6.Bam your done and no one got hurt either

Can I do this through the recovery screen console option? (flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.1.img)?

The links posted aren't working for some reason. I tried going to the website to look them up and no go. If I can just get a proper link to download the HTC 1.6 Dev Rom I should be good to go.

I finally got the things I wanted to run.
Many thanks to the people that helped.

Trouble with stock recovery

I recently reflashed my Nexus One to stock in order to update to 2.2. However, I am having an issue with the recovery image. I flashed stock recovery.img but when I boot into recovery I only get the yellow ! inside a tringle and the android logo. No text comes up and I have to pull the battery to restart the phone.

The Yellow ! inside the triangle is the stock recovery. Press the volume up and power button and you will see the option to apply the update.zip of froyo that's presumably on the root of your sd card

The triangle comes up when I try and add the frf72 andfrf83 and everytime the upgrade is aborted. where does it show you the current recovery that is on the phone?

Like he said, it IS the stock recovery. Read the update it's frf50 -> frf83, not frf72 -> frf83.
As far as I know it will only update an update.zip, so you wouldn't be able to have two of the same file name on the sdcard.

Correct I wouldn't have 2 update.zip on the card. if i am correct it goes erd79 to ere27 then you can upgrade to frf50 > frf72 and finally frf83. But I cant even for an update to ere27, nor can i update it from frf50 to 72 or 83 manually. And I do believe I have the stock recovery image installed.

ok.....finally got to FRF83 but then when I root my device is useless. works great without root.
How do I root FRF83?

Quick Stable ROM for my setup

My setup:
*G1
*RC29
*Amon Recovery 1.7
*DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF
*HBOOT-1.33.2005
*CPLD-4
*RADIO-2.22.19.26I
DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THE LATEST, JUST NOT STOCK..

Answer
1. Download update from Google
2. Rename it to update.zip, and place it at the root, in the the very top directory of your Micro SD card.
3. Turn off your G1 Make sure it completely powered off. Now again turn it on by holding the Home+End keys until you see T-Mobile G1 logo.
4. From the icon screen, open the keyboard and hit Alt+L.
5. Press Alt+S to begin the update. Remember, the update needs to be in the root of the Micro SD card and needs to be named update.zip.
6. Once it finishes, follow the onscreen instructions and press Home+Back to finish.
7. G1 Phone will reboot a few times to flash different parts of the firmware.

Ok, below im going to suggest two different ways to accomplish this.
Before you try this, if you are currently on 2.2 you will run into a 3e security error when in recovery. This process must be done from 2.1 or you must use the 3e security work around if attempting from 2.2. Which is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213
For me, its easier to use odin and flash back to 2.1 and then load the rom from there than to mess with the whole recovery thing.
How To: Install clockwork recovery.
DOWNLOAD THIS FILE FIRST THEN FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW.
FILE: http://www.mediafire.com/?ve234hbg64ctcu0
1. Go to the download folder and rename clockworkrecovery.zip to update.zip. Mount your phone and drag the update.zip file into the root directory. It is ok to overwrite the update.zip you used before. When it is done copying turn off your phone.
2. Unplug your phone and hold down both volume buttons and the power button until a strange menu with blue items pops up. This is called the recovery menu.
3. Scroll using the volume buttons to the menu item titled "reinstall packages" and press the power button to select.
4. Your phone should restart and you should be at a green menu which is clockwork mod. Do whatever you need to do from here.
Let me say, this is probably an older version of CWM because I pulled it from this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
It should work fine for flashing all 2.2 based roms but I do not have any say for the 2.3 roms as Ive never tried.
2nd way. Use odin to flash a kernel that already has the CWM recovery installed. This is a little more complicated than it sounds as some kernels are not compatible with some roms and you must check that before flashing. If you choose this method, you need to go find a kernel that works and understand how to use Odin before trying.
