please help me - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

okay this is what ive done...i use the flash rec apk and then backup and applied the ra recovery img. now i can go to the recovery mode...can i apply any rom not knowing the spl?...also one last question.... if i need to unroot do i do this by appliying the dreamin.img by pressing the end and camera then apply and this should unroot it right????
oh yeh i came from a cupcake build...on my g1

To get back to stock you flash the DREAIMG.nbh in bootloader. You need the 1.33.2005 SPL to flash a hero rom and a few others, but they will state that in the OP. You can flash any other rom though.

Please Help Me Out

I dont think anyones is in the Q&A forum and i need help fast
so im posting here so mods please dont get mad
Well Im almost finished up installing hero
but this one step from this tutorial got me stuck
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533731
Im at the part right before you partiton your sd card from terminal
I installed the radio then the spl
and when finishing the spl i rebooted but got got stuck at the tmo g1 screen and now here im wondering what do i do next go straight to hero
or install a rom
or reflash the spl
ps im still able to get to recover console etc.. so ithink i lite bricked so yeah please help
i think you may need to just flash a build. ive never bricked mine so maybe im way off...
Well i havent partitioned my sd card so you think i still should but on my computer
or should i install Jacheros rom but with out apps2sd?
ps when doing this process i havent flashed any rom whatsoever just the .nbh you think thats the problem
well have fun with cyanogen roms, or jf's
then when youre pretty familiar with everything go ahead and partition and play with apps2sd and hero
if you get a 'lite brick' you just reflash your rom. you should first play around with other roms first
Using recovery console and the instructions in the 1st post of the jachero thread, partition your sdcard then you can flash the Rom.
so even though i have the radio and spl for hero i can just go to CM's rom or jf's etc with no brick right

yeah you can. i recommend jf until you get comfortable with how to partition your sdcard and if you havent yet you should set up adb on your computer
if you need the link: http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r2/index.html
thanks people i guess ima chill with Jf
but heres one question i flashed cyan recovery using the update.zip method
but when i go to recovery it looks the same as the original recovery did i not do something right
what does Cyans recovery look like
if you are still able to get to recover console you are not bricked just flash a other rom
So do i need to reflash to jf recovery
or can i use cyan's
I had that problem too, i dont remember how i fixed it but i just went ahead and re-flashed the recovery with the terminal method
adb is a great tool for this, you should really set it up
with it you can mount the sd while in recovery, so you can add update.zip's without rebooting over and over and you can push files to the sd, like recovery.img's
plus you can get a shell with adb, so you wont have to worry about going to the console and typing commands in the phones keyboard and you can do it straight from you computer
Yeah i have lite brick so
im just gonna flash to JF 1.5 CRB43
With Cyanogens recovery
oh and b4 i flash to jf should i just wipe
yo im all good now i guess ima apps2sd with jf so i see how it all goes down

Restoring back to default boot theme.

Okay well I had put the xROM theme on my booted G1 but its not working properly so I want to restore back to the original theme after the boot up with the Android riding a Skateboard. If its needed I used this this tutorial to boot my phone. I want the same theme I had after I booted it to that.

Please be explicit. Did you flash xROM or the xROM theme for Cyanogen mod?
If you flashed xROM it won't have worked unless you'd flashed the 1.33.2005 SPL first.
If you want your phone to return to the stock look, grab the latest stable cyanogen mod here, wipe your phone and flash it.
To copy that update to your phone, boot in to recovery (home+power) and go to the console. Type "ums_enable" to enable usb mode, copy the update then type "ums_disable" when you're done. Type "reboot recovery" to get back to recovery (then wipe and flash)

Well I have everything from that guide, and what I had tried to do was put xROM on it by going to boot uploader and installing the update.zip file. Now the theme is on here but nothing works.

Boot uploader? Do you mean home+power? home+power is recovery mode...
Just follow the steps I posted and your phone will be fully functional with the stock theme...

in recovery choose an option to flash zip from sdcard (not the update.zip one) and choose update-cm-4.0.4-signed.zip

problems with kingxkxrom

i just rooted my g1 with the amon ra recovery img and i installed kingklicks new 2.2 rom and wen i reboot the pone is stuck at the tmobile screen...ne help
do you have the proper radio and spl? if not, flash the radio first so you don't turn your phone into a paper weight.

Correct
Wipe-->HTC 1.6ADP(flash)-->CYangogen(w/o reboot flash)
Wrong
Wipe-->Cyanogen-->reboot
so i flash the 1.6 image and then cyanogen?
is the 1.6 a rom or an image?

Help Flashing Custom Recovery on G1

Hi am a newbie here.i have read many guides here and form cyanogen and addictivetips on flashing custom recovery image on T-Mobile G1,DMD64,Donut..i have tried ROM Manager,Fastboot and ADB but still i get errors.what can i do ?
is your phone rooted? what errors?
Well first you need root. I was lazy and used this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598) app to get root. Then I followed the CyanogenMod wiki (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/) to get the Recovery, Radio, SPL, then ROM flashed and now I'm running CM 6.1.

Did you remember to flash the defanged base on the cyanogenmod wiki? I forgot to do that the first time I rooted and my recovery got reverted back to stock.
