Follow the tutorial at the top of this section. Stock 2 Cyanogen. Do it word for word, keystroke for keystroke and you will be good to go.

Without a data plan I don't think it's possible once you follow the any of the guides to downgrade to gain root you'll be required to sign into you're google account over a data plan before you can complete the other steps necessary to get root or set up your wifi connection at that matter. Unless the friend you got your phone from previously rooted the phone and left a HardSPL or Engineering SPL on the phone, I wouldn't recommend it.

Hello,
sorry i'm a newbie so if the thread is in wrong room,please mod to move it..
i've just bought my G1 a month ago and until now it hasn't received the updates OTA.
after searching how to get the updates for a whole month, then i noticed that it might be my G1 has it automatic updates turned off.
this is because i've bought 2 G1(one for my GF),and she G1 got the updates,even it's already twice. and she got notification about the other applications' updates ready for download. while my G1 never get any notification for the applications..
so i assume my G1 automatic updates setting is turned off,however i can't figure it out how to turn it on..
so anyone can help me please tell me how to turn on the automatic updates..
my phone info:
G1
firmware version 1.0
baseband version 62.33.20.08H_1.22.12.29
kernel version 2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0 android [email protected] #6
build number kila-user 1.0 TC4-RC30 116143
thank you very much for the help
It sounds like you are not even using cupcake yet,
you could greatly benifit from a cynagon rom or the like.
also they are based off ADP1 so should be immune to the auto updates
But i want the new updates.. especially the emoticon.. there's no emoticon in the old version..
i'm new in this forum so i haven't read all the thread(maybe it will take forever>_<) but from what you said it seems that the cupcakes has many minus points..
But still i really want to send sms with emoticons>_<
how to remove this immune to automatic then..?
You can flash rc29 and wait to see if you get the update. But what the other poster was saying is just root your phone and go to one of the custom roms. You'll prolly be more happy doing that considering it has everything that the t mobile roms have plus more.
if i flash it,does it will get the android become factory reset?
okay then, i'll wait for this answer first,if the answer is no,then i'll flash it,but if the answer is yes. is there any way i can get the emoticons for the sms?
thx for the answer
First thing first: You don't know what you want.. automatic updates are NOT what you want as the provider takes over your phone. Root it and install updates manually.
search around for the official t-mobile cupcake update, should be posted somewhere on this forum. Flash that and you will probably start getting ota updates faster.
i just want to know one thing again..
when i flash my phone,will it be a restore default setting? because my phone isn't factory unlocked and i'll lose the phone function if i restore it to default-.-
please anyone can answer this and i'll thank you and close this thread^_^
pskay,after i read all over the forum,i know the update is not as good,so i'll try to root it,but please answer my Q so i won't be an idiot losing my phone>_<

I'm kinda confused what you just said. If your saying your phone is unlocked and want to know if you flash if your phone will become locked back to T-Mobile. If that is the question then your answer is it will still be unlocked. The sim unlock has nothing to do with it. You will be fine.
yups,you saw through me
thx very much for the answer..
i'll flash it right away
hi all ... am facing a BIG problem ... was using a tm G1 from Europe (RC7) version which i bought from the local market .. it was probably used by someone in UK but now its here and we could use it with any local sim. ...
i tried to gain root access to the phone by following instructions from the site
http://coolpstuts.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-to-mod-root-jailbreak-your-g1.html
now once the phone restarted after the innitial updation the phone naturally wanted me to sign into my google account (which im assuming is the regular gmail account) but all the access points are from TMobile operators and even if i try to change the access points to the ones of my local carrier it wont connect... as if there is no internet connection.
now the situation is that iam stuck while everytime i restart the phone it asks me to signin to my gmail account and i cant do that since i have a different operator. I need to UnLock the phone to other operators i believe so that it can read my SIM ....
Please HELP !!!
so do you have root access or not? if you do have root access then you can either flash a rom that is ADP based which will allow you to skip the initial setup or, go to this thread and
download file from the second post
remove .zip extension
place file on the root of you sdcard (the upmost folder)
boot into recovery (home and power)
go to the recovery console
press enter
type mount /system
then type mount /sdcard
then type cp /sdcard/apns-conf.xml /system/etc if the cp command will not work substitute it with mv
finally type reboot
if this method doesn't work then just flash an ADP based rom.
if you do not have root then look at this thread.

If you insert a non-T-Mobile SIM into a locked G1, it will present a lock screen before it shows anything else. So I am guessing your G1 is already unlocked? You just need to press menu at the Google sign-in screen and enter a new APN. Remember to open the menu and tap save when you are done entering the APN info.

You only have to sign in to Gmail once after the initial flashing of the rom. Now, you phone HAS to be unlocked in order for you to even get to the sign-in screen with non-T-mobile SIM. Sounds like all you need is APN Settings from your provider. Once you have those, hit menu button at the sign in screen and put them in. You should be good to go.
Good luck, let us know how it turns out.
wow guyz it worked.... cant thank you much !! i just threw in the correct settings and it went all good
my current situation is that i added "DREAIMG.NBH" and updated the phone with the file. ..
the second portion of the update was to reboot and than do the telnet thingy which i didnt do as of the moment .... this i was doing to gain ROOT access to the phone ... do you think that i should complete the TELNET portion of the update as well and than continue with anything or is there any way to upgrade to cupcake 1.5 (my ultimate goal) without gaining the root access ?

If you just want to update to 1.5 without gaining root, find a T-Mo EU update.zip file and run it in the recovery.
although the phone is unlocked (as per the experience) but if (lets say) i do update the phone to 1.5 without the root gain ... will it lock the phone again or something (asking me to enter only T-Mob SIM only) ??

No, there is probably no way to re-simlock a phone once it has been unlocked. Remember that the state of the simlock is stored internally in the baseband processor and is not affected at all by what you do on the main processor or in the accessible memory spaces.
thanks alot jashsu and others ... will bug u guyz laterz for other stuff ...
Hey guys, didnt see this question anywhere, so here goes.
I have an unlocked t-mobile g1 running on Rogers network in canada, Ive been getting a notice to please update to android 1.6 directly on my phone, is it in any way harmful if i do, could it lock my phone again or is it A OK to proceed.
Thanks alot for the help, You guys are great.
When you get a message like that, its simply a message saying that the current version of Android is outdated (Android I'm sure you know is the phones main system) so think of it as your computer popping up saying that there are updates available. This will not lock your phone, I have an unlocked G1 running on AT&T's network. Once the phone is sim unlocked, you can't re-lock it.
Its perfectly fine to do the update how ever if you want to go out and have some fun with your phone, I recommend checking out some of the roms and recovery images here, great Devs in this forum.
Well I hope this answered your question
Hey, thanks alot, exactly what I was hoping to hear.
Thanks man
Yeah no problem man

SGS phones can be unlocked very easily and free.
First get root (if you don't already have it) and then start reading this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045
This is the safest way AFAIK.

Firstly you will need to enable side-loading applications (that is, enable installation of non-market applications). You find this in Settings > Applications > Development (from memory - it's something like that).
Then you will need to install z4root, probably by clicking on the .apk file you downloaded. After that, it will appear as a program in your launcher. Run it, and click the button to root your phone. There have been reports of it not working on 2.2.1 firmware, but on 2.2 you should be fine.
Once z4root has done its thing, you should be able to install the unlocker, and run that one too. Sorry, I can't help you too much with this one - my phone was unlocked to start with - just make sure you follow the instructions carefully and you should be OK.

We are in the same boat mate..
Standing to lose all the data on my fone..
Thanks to xiaomi..
We are aware of this issue and we are working on a fix. My personal opinion this "locked bootloader" is useless.. If someone doesnt want to play around with it they will just leave it. Anyway... The should be an update of Mi Suite soon that will fix this problem, thank god that I didnt update lol

Well most beta testers used Xiaomi's reccovery which worked fine with the update so they did not end up in a bootloop but for users like us using TWRP it was otherwise. Try doing a request again maybe? Write bit more details etc. I do apologise for the inconvenience of this update being released, I'm happy i never updated myself as I do use my phone a lot for business purposes which is very vital.
I'm using this, is it the older version? working well.
xiaomi.eu_multi_leo_V7.1.4.0.LXHCNCK_v7-5.1.zip
No updates showing in updater. I s everyone saying they now have no phone?
I need phone for work why am I having no issues.
I see no way back as the update disables fastboot. Luck and only luck stopped me applying the update.
Posted another req for unlock..keeping my fingers crossed..
So whats the best course of action? thinking return to stable, lock bootloader and sell. Anyone got a better idea?

Exactly what @arkabose said. You can also disable automatic download.
So this looks like the only option for the lucky ones who haven't locked their bootloader.

1. Due to large amounts of requests, please wait for 10-12 days after submitting your application. If you haven't get any info after 10-12 days, please make a thread on en.miui with your Xiaomi account number, we will check it for you. Thanks for understanding
2. The unlocking procedure only supports MIUI China developer version (6.1.12 or later version) currently. MIUI China stable version will get supported in future updates
3. Some Mi Note Pro users could not unlock bootloader after updating to 6.1.12. This issue will be solved in the next update
