can you please help on how i can get my phone to the latest version of android thanks

For some reason the wiki I was looking at skipped RC9 as one of the UK updates listed, but here's a link
http://rs56.rapidshare.com/files/204891929/signed-TMI-RC9-from-TMUK-RC8.a37580e9.zip
that will get you RC9 and then you can apply CRB17 then CRB43

Installed 1.6 manually, wrong one... How to get back(downgrade) to 1.5?

Hey everybody.. after a failed htc diamond (mda c4)
they exchanged it for a G1 today.. so happy me, on a 2 year contract but with a new phone every year
now... it came with 1.1 firmware (official) and searched the internet for 1.5 and 1.6.. so i installed both and now im on a official 1.6 unrooted.
But i think i installed the wrong one because i STILL dont have dutch language (1.1 had english and german and this 1.6 version has english and spanish)
My question now is how do i get back to 1.5 to get the 1.6 update from T-Mobile NL over the air?
--bump--
sorry for bumping the topic but can someone tell me how? dont really need the rooting, but can someone tell me how to get back to 1.5 or 1.1?
I tried to flash a nbh but it says 'not allow'
btw i have an dutch t-mo g1.. so its an eu device i think.. can't find the RC29 for eu anyone any idea? searched the forum but the only official thing i get is TheOfficial and it isnt even really official cause its rooted and cant use it
if you want to flash RC7 (which is what you should flash instead of RC29 as 29 is for us phones)
you need to use the goldcard method
search for the thread by Yuye in this forum
Whats good B-man.
Also you can root your phone (I know you said you didn't care to) and load a custom rom with more languages on it, so you don't have to stay on an outdated firmware. Also won't the 1 click method work on his phone B-man?
He said hes on 1.6US so no it wont. He wants 1.6 OTA for NL (i think its the same as the EU but not sure), and is looking for the 1.5NL version so he can get up to 1.6NL
i dont know if the EU 1.6 is out yet, i think there are still a few days left.
I think RC7 is your best bet. hopefully youll get the OTA for NL (you should, i dont think theres any reason it wont, but i dont know of the details in regional differences)
okay FINALLY i managed to get a goldcard after 5 hours of searching and reading how to (HxD hex editor did the trick, didnt want to vmware a linux install just for this)
So i downgraded it to an RC7, then i installed the 1.5us update (i think its us because it has the spanish language)
I hope that i can still recieve the 1.6 OTA update.. can anybody confirm if it's possible to get an EU/NL update even though i have an US android now?
And yes to answer the question if the 1.6 is out in holland, they're rolling it out as im typing (since a couple of days) but havent recieved a message. read somewhere that i should make a call then i'll get the update sooner. (to let the network know you have a g1 thats not updated yet)
its hard to get used to the android after having a WM device, but im getting there
If anyone could still provide me with/point me out to tho EU/NL 1.5 with dutch language i'd appreciate that, it would make things a little easier
Okay just got the 1.6 update and installed it. Can confirm that once u update to us 1.5 ur stuck on us.. still gettin spa and eng locale only.. so maybe ill root it during the weekend

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That means the sd card you're using isn't compatible as a gold card.. You'll need to get another card (different brand) and try

Manually updating UK HTC G1

Hi all,
I currently have an unlocked HTC G1 which I bought from eBay. I am on the o2 network. o2 do not sell the HTC G1 therefore, even with a dataplan, I am not recieving OTA updates. So, for a few days now, I have searched google inside out for ways to get my G1 up to 1.6 which I am aware is the latest and final OS for the HTC G1.
I have gone from: 1.0 to 1.1 to 1.5 (CRB17) to 1.5 (CRB43) to 1.5 (CRC1).
Now, I am completely stuck as to where to go next. I am aware that the UK OS 1.6 update is called DRC92. I have found CRC1 to DRC92 NO WHERE. I have even read I have to go from CRC1 to CRC37 to DRC92, but I also cannot find CRC1 to CRC37 anywhere. I HAVE however found CRC37 to DRC92. Which is of no help unless I have the build CRC37 on my phone.
I am aware that this post looks confusing with all the build numbers, but I am sure someone out there HAS done this update from 1.0 to 1.6 on their UK G1 manually. I am prepared to start again from 1.0 (with the help of flashing) if someone has a guide which takes a different route.
I hope there is someone out there who can help, and I await a reply.
Thank you all,
Neel
You best bet is to follow one of the many guides to rooting the phone, then you can just download the latest update from one of the many superb dev's here and install it.
For example my UK G1 is running a eclair rom at the moment, and I have not had to wait for tmobile to finally roll it out.
Just follow this, works for all dreams excluding rogers

help wiht rooting a uk g1

Hello,
I recently bought an unlocked G1 of ebay. When it arrived the firmware on it was 1.6.
I decided that i would like to jail break/root it so i followed the intructions and downgraded to rc7 and began to manually root it.
After much messing about i managed to do it however when it came to installing the cyanogen mod (i chose the newest stable release 4.2.13) it hangs at the T-mobile G1 screen. I am aware that the first boot after the mod can take some time so i left it for 20 minutes but got nothing.
I have managed now to downgrade it again to RC7 and was just hoping that you guys could help me /tell me what i did wrong.
I followed the instructions on this website
http://android.lucidrem.us/files/howto-root.txt
I really would appreciate any help anyone could give me as i'm at my feckin wits end
cheers
Check out the guide on Cyanogen's Wiki for detailed instructions on how to root your UK G1
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
My guess would be that you didn't flash the HTC dev phone image prior to flashing the newest CyanogenMOD, it's a pretty common mistake for beginner's
Check the Wiki, it should get you in the right direction

Problem upgrading / downgrading HTC Dream

Hello,
I own a HTC Dream, Orange branded (I guess is Orange France).
It has Firmware version: 1.1 and Build number: 1.56.73.2 PLAT-1.0_gms-135348 CL#11526 release-keys.
My problem is that I can't update this over-the-air, as I use this in another country - and don't know if I can update this over wifi/3g.
So, I've tried to update this to 1.5 / 1.6 official, but it didn't work with the original img files from HTC's site. I've also tried to root/downgrade to RC7/... but failed due the fact that the signature wasn't good... and then use the goldcard method and hxd editor but now it says "main version is older" when trying to downgrade.
So I need to know how do I suppose to upgrade this to 1.5/1.6? It's a shame that I'm stuck on 1.1 and can't move to the latest official flavour or to modded roms.
Kind regards in advance,
Alex.
Damn bro sounds like u had a ruff time with the g1 man lol i got you tho. uhm im gonna set you wit cyanogen latest and from there you can flash any rom you like. but my main thing is to get you to 1.6 or 2.1 which ever you prefer. ( i think 2.1 smashes 1.6 personally )
ok download this rc7 file here ( download and extract the dreaimg.zip then copy the dreaimh.nbh file to your desktop somewhere )
then go here to my blog and finish the steps. these steps worked time after time for so many xda members with the same issue so youre good trust me. email me at: [email protected] for asap help
Hello, and thank you for your post... but -
I already tried downgrading this using both images US/EU and from multiple sources (from Cyn wiki, and a lot of other blogs) .
This is now working for me. It now states "Main version is older". Before I modified the hxd and the goldcard of the SDcard, I couldn't pass the Checking checksumms. It now pass that step, but I get stuck on "Main version is older"
Anyone has a better idea?
Thanks,
Alex.
Bump for me?
Please help.

[Q] Help needed rooting my G1

Hi Folks,
I've been at it for weeks now but got in a mess that i am unable to resolve.
First i tried the oneclick method to root my phone but that came out blank.
Then i followed the guide posted on this forum but again no luck.
When i try to restore to a previous version of android ( RC29) all i get is " not allow' when i try to load it ( camera button + power on button ).
I bought this phone new as a liquidation offer from T-mobile.
The guy that sold me the phone says it is a European model. ( not US or UK).
these are the specs of the phone:
Android 1.6
Smallband 62.50s.20.17 U_2.22.19.26I
Kernel 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37
Build DRC92
When i enter the phone to install dreaimg.nbh i get the following info.
Drea110 PVT 32B
HBoot - 0.95.0000
CLPD-4
Radio 2.22.19.26I
sep 2 2008
serial0
the error code when i install = 0028002.
any help is much appreciated!
kind regards

Ooh my god!

I've been at it so long!
And now with the right app it's done in seconds.
THANKS A MILLION!

EDIT:
Still at it.
did not get any further then the G1 logo when i used the cyanogen offered by ROM Manager.
still looking in to that...
Suggestion to manually boot to recovery mode if you can. ROM Manager tends to not works correctly. I had the same problem and currently trying to fix it.
Thanks for the link
