You'll need to get the htc-1.6 recovery update (taken down, but search in the cyan thread for it), and the cyan 4.2.8 and flash the htc then immediately flash the cyan

[Q] Trouble with RC3 update

Neep help!!! Can someone help me upgrade my g1 from cyanogenmod v6.0.0(first version of 6) to the experimental version 6.0.0 RC3... i am a rookie at all of this... i am missing a step... v6 works ok, but wont upgrade to rc3...i get an error on all 3 attempts........ 2nd, what radio am i suppose to use.. 2.22.19.26I or 4.06.00.12.7,....... 3rd i dont see adobe flash player on the android market... i got it going up until the rc3 update
If you have 6.0 RC1 installed already and it's *working*, you have all the proper supporting packages. Just flash the RC3 from recovery, then the new tiny GApps file. For the G1, no new radio has been required for any CM6 development.

Radio FW Question

Hello,
can i upragde only the radio fw version ?some people are reporting better battery life with the new baseband fw. And if so, can i flash back the old "downrev" fw back, if i had problems ?
From :
Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31.zip - OLD, standard in 2.1 Roms
to
Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25.zip - NEW in Chinise Froyo 2
I currently have the unrbanded wwe version 1.25.405.1 installed.
This is something I too would be interested to know. I have tried to do some serching but this is the first case I can find regarding the new 2.2 radio from the chinese rom.
I am currently on Puzzlerom 7.3
Once the v8 rom / v8.0.1 is stable I will go to that. Unless we have ourselfs a 2.2 froyo rom out before that. As I use my phone in a variety of ways and in multipule situations, I cant go without it for very long. 2 hrs at a time max.
Hope to be able to test things though ^_^
Peace
Just Made the update trough recovery .now iam running at the 2.1 Rom with the new radio firmware active from the new android 2.2 chinese rom. Actually I see no problems at all

All components are working fine (gsm/umts,wlan,gps and bluetooth).
Only the frst Time GPS FIX takes a bit longer after update.
Also, the battery life seems to be a bit longer and the handy seems
to be more stable during calls with active data connections.

[Q] Is there a GRJ22 full update direct download?

I am looking to build my own ROM based on GRJ22 / 2.3.4 using dsixda's kitchen. Is there a full stock version of 2.3.4 available for download from Google? The only direct download links I can find are just an update from GRI40.
Answering my own question since I did some investigating to find the URL:
I downgraded to and older Froyo 2.2 (FRG83D) stock ROM and was setting it up. After a moment I got an update notification for Gingerbread MR2. It said it had already downloaded it and was ready for install so I thought "Hmm, maybe I can reboot into recovery and find the file".
I found the file name in /cache after mounting it and then pasted that on the end of the normal OTA update URL and...
Code:
android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/passion/b90257ed8cd3.signed-passion-ota-121341.b90257ed.zip
It is 87.6 MB so I assume it is a full update. Hopefully this is useful for someone wanting to update or build custom ROMs on 2.3.4.
Edit: Can't post links yet... :\
Just wondering. Is that link a full 'install'? Could I load that over any version on my Nexus S?

It is a full install for Nexus One (I did a wipe from Froyo and then flashed this and worked fine). I'm not sure if the N1 and NS images are the same. If they are then I guess this would work.
Ah I just noticed you were talking about the Nexus One. I don't think it will work since the One and the S have different code names, source.android.com/source/building.html#choose-a-target

Try the following link… use the clean GRI40 rom and the modified update.zip patch to update the rom to GRJ22, then dump the nandroid to make your custom rom. Follow the instructions in dsixda’s kitchen for nandroid dumps. Works perfect.

Ultimate Online Kitchen can help changing the battery icon and a couple other items, but not the 3G icon to an H.

[Q] Rooting a G1 running Android 1.0?

A while back I rooted my G1 which was running 1.6 and I successfully rooted and installed cyanogenmod. I wasn't impressed with the battery life so I decided to switch roms. I did something wrong and my phone pretty much reverted back to unrooted Android stock 1.0. That was a while back and I have been pretty much hanging with it since. I could do generic things such as send and receive calls, send text messages, play music off sd, etc., but I'm tempted to find a way to root my phone again and with a diff rom. Is there a way to do this with android version 1.0? Can I also do this without a data plan and just wifi?
Here are the specs for my G1 if anything:
Firmware Version: 1.0
Baseband Version: 62.33.20.08H_1.22.12.29
Kernel Version: 2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0 [email protected] #6
Build number: kila-user 1.0 TC4-RC29 115247 ota-rel-keys, release keys
forget it. I got cyanogenmod up and running. Close thread.
Before this is closed, try out the Froyo for Trout rom. Its stable, and faster than CM. Really recommend this.
Anything will be better off than CM (that from my experieces) But the new CM (XDA Mod) is promissing.
@ TheIneffable - I would suggest (if you still wants to use CM) to look at [ROM] NameLessFroyo (CyanogenMod variant) by NLJ or [ROM][2.3.7 GB][18.10.11] BananaBread v1.2 DS +cMTD(Based on CM 7.1) by banana4444.
But if you would like to try other ROM, I suggest [Rom][2.2.2 AOSP] DREAMteam Froyo v1.9 "I'm hungry...." by DreamTeam (AKA:Green ROM Projects) or FroyoMelt (see my sig for link) also by DreamTeam (with Customization by ldrifta).

Upgrade it to the newest version (Gingerbread - 2.3).
You can even install KitKat (4.4) if you want. Not officially though.

I find the easiest way to upgrade from 2.2 is to use the Samsung Kies software and upgrade to ginger bread thru that, so that you can use download mode. Then use the JVU Odin package and cf-root to prepare your phone to flash one of the latest roms. Always best to flash in steps using cm roms cm9 to whatever base of rom you want to use. It's whats I do and everything is always rock stable and clean for me.
