ok so i rooted my phone and decided it wasnt for me. So i went back to the stock version and i want to update my phone back to 1.6 but as you all know i cant go straight to that. i have looked everywhere to find the updates and i cant find any. i have been waiting all day and i havent gotten any update from ota. so i need your help. thanks. ps im on verson 1.0 and rc29 if that helps any of you. thanks again!
I do not know if there is an update.zip for 1.6 yet, but you can search for one for 1.5 and upgrade to it. I would get you a link but i am using my phone at work to post.
here is 1.5 http://www.mediafire.com/?zmdyjz3y2zn

two days ago same question was asked. at least look at search results if you do.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669930&highlight=bootloader
there is the thread...number 10 or so if you searched for "bootloader".
it might take some time when searching but it will help you learn more if you dot he searching yourself.

You can't downgrade the bootloader (hboot) version, period. End of story. This is NOT the end of the world though! The 2.1 leaked RUU that you used should have been a rooted developers ROM so you can use that to restore your phone, install the custom recovery, then use whatever ROM you want.

does the bootloader stopper you from using a 1.5 ROM? does it stop you from completely unrooting? i guess what im asking is, can you still flash a stock nandroid and stock recovery, would sprint notice?

If they need/want to reflash, then they will notice. You can just wait 1-? weeks for the official 2.1 Ruu, which likely will use the new bootloader.
Look, the just posted a release signed with Release keys instead of test keys. Once this is put into a proper RUU with Root it MAY fix your issue, give it 24 hours.

They leaked.
@ jlem26
I read this from the sprint community forum:
From Android Central When it rains, it pours. Just got word of a new leak for the HTC Sprint Hero. No way of knowing if this is the final 2.1 version, but this one is signed with release keys so you will lose your root for sure if you're into that sort of thing. Anyone who feels brave and wants to try for themselves you can find it here. Remember, this is not official software from any carrier. Using this is at your own risk, and nobody here at Android Central is suggesting you try it, though we're more than happy to show you where it is. Thanks Beezy420! http://www.4shared.com/file/gfPzbRcS/RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2276515_R_si.html Haven't tried it myself...But I figured I'd post it..
I downloaded it, but I'm scared to try it.......
The new 2.1 leak is almost certainly the final, so the official Sprint update will prob. be out next week.
WARNING: the new leak is NOT ROOTED, and the old rooting methods will NOT work. (Someone took one for the team and already RUU'ed the new leak, and confirmed he could not root afterwords.)
Presumably someone somewhere is already trying new ways to root this upgrade.
I've attempted root three ways now. NO GO!
Yes, I took one for the TEAM and went ahead and ran the RUU, it's fast clean and works fine so far.
BUT.....it closes the ability to ROOT....you've been warned!
Thanks,
Bubba.
thanks for being brave! Have you had any problems so far.
No problems at all.
Phone runs smooth and fast.
Only issue is that I have NO root now. But I knew the choices going into this option.
Having said that, and being able to officially tell everyone that it in fact breaks the root abilities.....is there anyone attempting to get root with this version or will we just ignore it?
Thanks,
Bubba.
I don't see it getting ignored. I wouldn't be surprised if someone somewhere was already working on trying to figure it out.

Depends. Do you want a rooted or non-rooted.
If you want rooted do you want stable or experimental?
If you want non-rooted then it's 1.6.
If you want a stable rooted then use CM-5.0.8.
If you want to try an experimental then try CM-6.0.0-RC2.
If you want a list of rooted roms look here.

Can't find the link? Try looking!
thank you very much, but ive found links to 1.6, but none of them work when trying to have them opened and flashed on my g1, i went to the newest rooted rom, but i think its rather slow, and would rather have the non rooted 1.6
Download DREAIMG.NBH from anywhere and wait for the phone to automatically say "an update is available" or you can download cupcake 1.5 then the 1.6 patch.
JUST GOOGLE IT!!!!!!
lol ive googled it! and have found liek 30 links of the 1.6 update, but they dont work!
What do you mean they don't work? Your phone is rooted, right? Then download any software from here (it does not have to be official 1.6 update, I suggest Dwang as a fastest G1 software I've seen) and flash it through recovery (remember to wipe first). It's really simple and I don't know how it might not work.
im saying, like if i unroot, and go back to stock and start from 1.0, and then i find one of the links on the internet that is the 1.6 donut update, while flashing, it will say theres a error and missing like x number of files and not work.
But i see what your saying thank you
I was gonna root my HTC G1, so I downgraded it from 1.6 to 1.0, but now I changed my mind and I wanna go back to 1.6.
I searched google but couldn't find a guide to do it. Can somebody refer to me one?
Thanks

You can find the stock 1.5/1.6 ROMs via google, you just flash them via recovery. You may need to go to 1.5 and then 1.6.
K heres the thing, a couple months back i couldnt wait for the 2.2 update. Not knowing what i was doing i flashed my perfectly good rogers 2.1 to at&t 2.2.
I then wanted to go back but found out i couldnt. For days was trying to flash back to stop and wasnt able to so i left it the way it is. I really started liking it except for i have the gps issue, im in my house and searching the gps and it tells my im like 20 blocks from my location:S lol
Anyways now what i wanted to do is if i got this problem i can atleast root it and have some fun. I tried rooting for the last 3 days but keeps saying its aborted. So now i wanna flash back to stock again and either root the 2.1 or update to rogers 2.2. What do u guys think i should do? im so stuck cuz also i dunno how to use odin. Do i need a specific odin to go back to stock??? i dont get it. Ive searched thousands of threads looking for this answer and when i finally found a good way to flash back all the links are broken aargggg ( Someone please help me out i would really appreciate it!!
After reading all these threads u guys are amazing..i wish i was that smart
Thanx guys!!

okay so i just bought a Tmobile G1 from a friend. He gave me the phone and when i opened it and turned it on i realized that is was still on firmware version 1.1. i dont know if im wrong but everywhere i look on the internet, all the G1's are running on 1.6! i also read of something called an "OTA" update but my phone is not prompting me to update.
Different subject~*~*

Why did my G1 come in Android 1.1?

lol you dont need to be on 1.6... it just the guides helps you downgrade if you are on 1.6.. if you are on 1.1 or whatever than all you need to do is upgrade to 1.5
