Hi, I recently tried rooting my g1. I got back to cupcake. When I used the 1 click Amon Ra method and it finished, when I got to recovery it was the g1's stock recovery. Now I'm stuck with cupcake. How can I fix this? All help is appreciated!
Also, I used this video: (both parts)
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOkLYbnt5p0
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks57t-d3M5s
Just to clarify, at the end of part 2 after I had flashed the recovery, I followed the instructions and wiped the card, then when I went in to recovery mode it was the stock recovery. I went back and did the 2 part tutorial again, but when I get to the recovery flasher and I type in the code, there's no option to flash it. again, any help at all is greatly appreciated!

Its gone because you didnt flash the radio while in rec mode..This is better to follow, one-click root seems to bring alot of people here...
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-root-the-mytouch-3g-or-g1-in-one-click/
Thats where the steps originated from, follow that vid and guide instead.
You must carefully read and post in Q&A not dream's general sub-forum next time.
Thanks, but the link you sent was a tutorial on how to one click root.

Goto market and DL astro then DL flashrec too.
Flashrec is here
http://zenthought.org/system/files/asset/2/flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2.apk
But first goto apps via settings and allow non-market apps to install.

Ok, now I successfully flashed the recovery, I haven't booted into recovery yet, but on the guide I linked you to it says to download cyanogen and the ADP 1.6 update, if I am going to be using Super D, how would the guide change?
also, it just popped up and asked if I wanted to update to donut, very weird

Your suppose to flash the radio while in recovery mode, do you know which radio you currently have Supe D doesnt need the ADP.
Cyan has it b/c he not allowed to use goog apps.

I have android 1.6 and have been trying to root my device with no success
-I downloaded the rc29, unzipped and placed dreaimg.nbh to the root of sd
-restart holding camera button but it wont let me flash it from there
any help will be greatly appreciated and thanks in advanced and sorry for being such a neewb
you gotta hold camera and power but pretty sure you are doing that and hmmm try several different links for the rc29 nbh file or you can try downgrading to cupcake the downgrading to rc29.
you might have to wipe too not so sure though

If you're gonna flash a 1.5 cupcake update, than you shouldn't need to downgrade to RC29 w/ DREAIMG.nbh, you should be able to use flashrec to flash cyanogen's recovery image from CRB43 or CRC1

well i guess you should try to downgrade to 1.5 then do 1 click root if you want but i would suggest the long way
I'm using a HardSPL and I just loaded put DREAIMG.nbh on a sdcard and booted up using camera+power and it seemed to load my file fine Pasing....[DREAIMG.nbh] etc, etc, etc, the you can press action to start the update, did you format your sdcard to fat32, unzip file and place DREAIMG.nbh on the root of the card spelled that way???
If that still isn't working you may be able to use a cupcake update.zip file and boot into recovery with home+power to apply the update zip and try using FlashRec from their, any of the 1 click method guides in this forum could explain that in a little more detail
ok guys i finally got it to work, thank for you help!!
Hi you can visit my site.. i have posted step by step instructions to root any android device running firmware 1.5 and above
since xda wont allow me to post a link type "ajknowsitall . webs . com" without any space
Ok, I want to get root access on my g1. I can simply follow this guide to get it, correct? http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-root-a-t-mobile-g1-and-mytouch-3g-android-phone/
Once that is done I'll have to re-register my gmail account info stuff. I do not have the data plan so I will have to follow JF's guide correct?
Also, say I ever wanted to "Unroot" my phone, is this possible? And if something is wrong with my phone, and it is still under warrenty, I can reset it so they will never know it's been rooted correct? (It DOES void the warranty???)
Thanks for your time!
yes that guide will work. if you still have 1.5 i recommend doing the one-click method since if you install cyanogen's rom, then you can skip signing into google. if you want to unroot, then flash rc29 through bootloader and you will have stock.
Darn... I just updated to 1.6 a few days ago.. what do you suggest I do? 1 click won't work with donut?

then downgrade to rc29, then use JF's guide to register, then root via telnet commands, and the one click root was patched with the 1.6 update.

okay I am guessing that you said yes to using the stock radio. So this is easy do you still got your original recovery image and your original nandroid? Just go into recovery and nandoid back to stock 1.5 then reboot and download flashrec and rename your original recovery image to recovery-backup and place on your sd card. Install flashrec and either reboot or open it and press restore backup image

Can radios be flashed with UF at anytime now with an update.zip?
Also where is a zip file for the 2.15 radio or is there anyone willing to share? It's not the same as the evo's is it?
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
To flash:
1. Place PB31IMG.zip to root of SD card
2. Power down phone
3. Press volume down and power at same time
4. It will ask to update...press volume UP for yes
5. It will ask for reboot...press volume UP for yes
Once done...enjoy.

It already saves it as PB31IMG.zip....so just move it to root and go on with process.
That's for the splash and does not update radio. I've installed that and the update.zip and still have 2.05

I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong, i have the pb31img.zip(radio update) on root of sd did the whole power down and power on with volume(down) and when i get to hboot it has
fastboot

after 2 seconds or so it does this:
sd checking...
loading...pb31diag.zip
no image
loading...pb31diag.nbh
no image or wrong image
loading...pb31img.zip

Make sure the sdcard is formatted as fat32 and that the zip name is exactly "PB32IMG.zip", exact casing and make sure also that its not .zip.zip
OK i just reformatted the sd card to FAT32 and the file i downloaded was PB31IMG, i don't have an extra .zip, that's common mistake for me to do so it was first thing to check. ok so that fixed it. i must not have had it formatted correctly, its whatever it was stock
edit: mrozzeh and the rest of the unrevoked team, i would like to say thank you, and thanks for the personal help too.

Anytime. (10 characters blah)
Hold the optical pad and the power button...not the vol down key and give it a shot
Radio update isn't working for me. Saved PB31IMG.zip to the root of my FAT32formatted SD card, rebooted, it found the PB31IMG.zip file, went though the loading process, got the point where it said "checking" and then went back to the menu without loading the update. I've downloaded the radio update twice with the same results. I currently have the 2.05.00.06.11 radio but have not yet installed s -off. Do I need to do that first?
Any other suggestions?
EDIT: Nevermind, I installed the unrevoked forever s -off patch and the radio update seems to be installing now.
EDIT 2: Radio update updates kernal to .32 correct?

I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one confused by those instructions at first . My first assumption when reading all these posts were that V4 V6 and V7 were hardware versions of the Revo and you were suppose to download the Gingerbread TOT in correlation to your hardware. Here's what You need to know. They are just software update versions.
V4 and V6 are Froyo
V7 is Gingerbread.
Install V7 and you'll be all set
got it worked out
