Hi to all, tonight i rooted my g1 via the one click method, then went on to flash it with the Sens Hero rom however i want to go back to cupcake 1.5, whilst still keeping my G1 rooted. The only part i dont get is do i need to downgrade my spl or will the current 2.22.19.261 which i upgraded to be ok? Is there is a rooted 1.5 cupcake room i could use, if so can somone point me in the right direction.
thanks

you have sense hero 1.4 correct? and you want to go to cupcake? you'll probly want to go to donut. no downgrading anything, just go to cyanogen's thread and follow the instructions posted there
also, the spl you mentioned isn't an spl. that's a radio.

Can I downgrade the radio from xxx.26I back to xxxx29. Because since the radio update with newest release I get a solid blue LED, my phone cannot find a signal at all and says Sim does not support roaming and all that. I reflashed the radio and same thing still. I read on a blog that downgrading can brick the phone.
If I were to just install RC 29 again will it give me back my old radio and I could just do the rooting over again? Or I was thinking of just going back to cupcake 1.5 and forget the modding thing cause I just like it the way it was out of the box. Advice? Thanks.
If you flash RC29 it should change it back to "1.22.12.29".
The only way to brick your phone downgrading your radio is if you have the danger spl, if so do not downgrade, the rc29 does have the orig radio, in it and is a safe way to downgrade even if you have the danger spl since it will install the factory spl back on also
i was using the cyanogen spl when i flashed to the cyanogen rom. But after i used the dark hero theme i was getting all kinds of force closes.
So I can downgrade the radio and then switch roms? I was thinking im gonna go with the Tmo rooted rom in the development treads.
Cyan doesn't have an spl, you might be thinking bout the recovery image. As long as you have not run hero on your phone you are good to downgrade the radio. To be on the safe side I would run the rc29 so I am back to a clean slate and just re-root it
cool thanks, ill do that.
Ok, so my phone's currently on eBay. I'm leaving the android world and heading back to iPhone land. So I'm going to need to unroot.
My specs:UK phone, 26I radio, 1.33.2005 SPL, Cyanogen 4.04 + 1.4 recovery.
So do I simply flash the RC7 update to get back to 1.0 (it's a UK phone, so not 29) via the SPL (which isn't stock)? As far as I'm aware the recovery image on stock G1's allows the user to flash official updates, so can I just flash the one for 1.5 or 1.6? Does anyone who where I'd find those offcial updates for UK phones?
you want to flash the original SPL first, then you can load up your RC7 and that will overwrite everything else
**edit** I know the official OTA UK cupcake update was posted to Phandroid around May, cause I used the UK version to check out cupcake before it was available in the US
I thought the RC7 NBH would also flash the SPL...at least that's what I read. I guess I can always reflash the stock SPL, I'm just trying to be uber cuatious and not brick this thing...
no the nbh file will overwrite everything excepts your spl, you have to flash the spl first then boot your phone using camera + power to acess it to flash your nbh file, then you'll have RC7, then your phone is back to stock, then you can search out your official updates like rc9 and higher if you choose or sell it with rc7 and let the buyer wait for OTA updates
Ugh, you're right it even says it in the root guide. Thanks!
Now all I need to do is find the uk update.zip for 1.5...
this link still seems to be valid for the UK cupcake update

I was also under the impression that the nbh replaced the SPL as well. I have read many posts in which users stated that they safely downgraded to RC29/RC7with the DangerSPL and didn't brick. Also, the .nbh flash also states its replacing the SPL during the flash IIRC. Anyways, better safe than sorry.
Don't you think that you would get more money for selling a rooted G1 over stock? AND WHY IPHONE :'(
AdrianK shall be missed
Hey guys, I'm kinda new to the whole entire rooting business. I know I have a ADP1 G1 phone from Google, which should already be rooted.
I've recently upgraded it to 1.6 Donut from the HTC site, but then I came across CynogenMOD and I wanted to give it a try.
However when I'm trying to install the CM Recovery 1.4 via terminal i encounter a SU problem. I did some research and I think it was because I lost my root somehow on my ADP1. So can anyone help guide me to transition from my current stock 1.6 donut to the new CynogenMOD? I would greatly appreciate any help.
The information for my phone is as of the following.
Model Number 1.6
Basedband Verision 62.505.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37 [email protected] #19
Build Number dream_devphone-userdebug 1.6 DCR83 14721 test-keys
My SPL is of the following
Drea100 PVT 32B
HBOOT-.95.3000
CPLD-4
Radio 2.22.19.261
Thanks again!
Wrong section, this should go in Q&A, but the easiest way is to just re-root the phone.
I got a similar problem, from what I understood after 6hrs of reading, is that I can get root back by going back to android 1.5..
My problem is that my spl is HBOOT-0.95.0000.
From what I understand is that I only can change this when having root, but can only get root when I change this... So for now i'm kind of stuck. I hope that i'm missing something
xxljmzlxx I think you have the engineering SPL and lennarteigenbrood I think you have the original SPL See this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455860
I would think you both could just "root" your phones and be OK. The easiest way to get the cyanogen recovery image is to do the 1-click method:

Good luck.
I unrooted thurs on accident I always use this method to root takes about 10 min

My problem is I flashed to Donut and all the rooting method requires 1.5.
It might be a spl problem and with my limited knowledge, i don't think so. Because I can't just upgrade/flash my spl... Upgrade aborts everytime.
I tried flashing back to Cupcake with HTC recovery image but that also aborts. Any thoughts? Or Im i just stuck here
Also flashrec-20090815.apk doesn't work with 1.6... I can flash to cm recovery 1.4 but it won't show up when I reboot and I cannot make a backup via the program
see cyanogen installation help thread (last few pages).. you guys still have root, you just have the superuser binaries installed
the reason you cant flash the recovery is because a script in the htc recovery rom replaces it on each boot
I rooted my phone so long ago just following JFs instructions I cant remember what spl I installed and now with the need for the Danger SPL or Eng SPL to run the new eclair roms I wanted to know what I am running I booted into the spl and it says HSPL10.95.3000 so I am pretty sure that I am using the Hard spl, is that correct ? Does this mean I can not use the new eclair roms with installing a new spl ?
If you booted into fastboot and it said HSPL10.95.3000, then yes, you are running the Hard SPL, and yes, you need to install the new SPL before flashing any Eclair ROMs.

thanks, man I just l wanted to double check. Do you think that eclair roms will always require a danger spl or eng spl? I just dont want to bother changin before the eclair roms are even stable enough to flash for regular every day use.

according to one ROM thread I read the creator of the ROM said you must have Danger or Engineering SPL. I have heard of people bricking there phones using Haykuro SPL. Thats great news though, I had thought they were stopping G1 updates after 1.6
