Just go back to rc29 then upgrade to 1.5 then open up market and look for it. Lmk if it works.
so unroot again..then how do u get to 1.5?
is there a link or youtube vid on this? i have no idea how to downgrade to 1.5 from 1.6 on a G1
Just flash the nbh file and wait for the update.

if you want to root, flash the nbh, and use flash rec.... it works on RC29
i wouldnt recommend you do it since judging from the op you have no idea what your doing

Do you mean unroot?
If you want to unroot from RC29 - wait for the OTA (Over the Air) update. The OTA will remove root.
If you wanted to go back to a ROM (like Hero, because it uses 1.5) you'll need to upgrade to from RC29.
If you just want to remove root, keep the RC29 and wait for an OTA update to be pushed to your phone.
ohhh okay so i upgrade to cupcake if i want hero from rc29..and i need to root before the ota update to 1.6 is that right?

Yes. Cupcake is 1.5, which is required for Hero to run. Also, if you decide to run a Hero ROM, make sure you have the appropriate SPL and Radio.
and i need to root before the ota update to 1.6 is that right?

If you root before the OTA, you will not receive an OTA. To go back to stock, don't touch the phone (in the sense that don't flash any ROMs) after your at RC29. When at RC29, you will be getting an update from T-Mobile to update (which will remove root).
sorry if im annoyying u aka lol i want to root and im at rc29 right now. i have to get to 1.5 to root right? and to get to 1.5 do i wait for an ota or manually update it myself?
okay wait im on 1.5 and i downloaded the flashrec prog like in the guide and the recovery file and downloaded the flashrec and typed in the /sdcard/recovery-ra-dream-v1.5.3.img and see nothing that says download custom recovery image. i am on 1.5 by the way.
Haha not a problem at all .
Sorry, I didn't understand what you were saying.
If you are already at RC29, and you want root, you need to first upgrade to 1.5.
Sorry bout that, you are correct

Not sure about #1 but as far as your unrooting is concerned... I would just go back to RC29 and wait for the updates. T-Mobile officially confirmed that Cupcake updates begin on May 11.
here is the link for unrooting your phone, finding the update from rc29 to rc 33 took me an hour searching, and i don't have the link atm but this will get you started

you want the g1 original spl and your radio will aoutomatically be downgraded
Thank you for all your help. One last thing you said the original spl correct. and will the rc 29 start to automaticaly update? so get the original spl and the dream fil should I let it totaly reboot after the spl or take it straight to the dream file?
do the spl first let it reboot, then do your img file that will put you at original firmware and rc 29, you can then wait for ota updates, or you can search around the forums for a full update from rc 29 to rc 33 its around here somewhere just not easy to find

if you have already had experience in rooting a phone, then what's stopping you on rooting this one?
if you follow the rooting guide, you will be fine. and if you follow the thread about the hero rom you want, you will be fine. there are certain things you have to do to get hero but those guides will have all that explain within their respective threads.
Yeah ur right, nothing is stopping me from rooting this one, but my question is, the other phone was the. RC33 build so I had to downgrade to RC29 to gain root, now, do I have to do the same for this one? CRB43? Or how do I gain root on this one? Thnx

Alright, that's what I needed to know, thank u so much
alright, so everything work out well, i think.
i got all done, now i just have a problem. I got the Hero ROM and when the phone starts, i get a loop in the HTC screen...... what can i do???
I had my phone looping for some reason that escapes me right now, I just installed Dude's 1.5 Cupcake and then went to SuperHero v2, it launched just fine but was a bit slow. I just got finished installing JACHero 1.8v4 and it is by far the best Hero build.
Also, on SuperHero V2 my phone took a looong time to boot up.
Ok I've done the 1 Click Root process. The problem is, I totally UNrooted my phone before I did the 1 click root. I tried to load a Hero rom I got off the www.theunlockr.com website but I had to update the SPL which bricked my phone. I did wipe first so thats not the problem. I don't know what went wrong when I bricked my phone. I am getting a new from t-mobile(I kinda told them the donut 1.6 update screwed my phone up).
Now I want to root again with the 1 click but do I need to go back to the original build RC29 build or whatever it was in order to root with the 1 click ? And when I flash to a new rom do I need to update the SPL again?
READ FIRST!! I dont know where so search. I dont feel like finding you all the guides warnings and post about it. There are many precautions to take while flashing hero and even if you follow all of them to the "T" you still have a big chance of bricking your phone so use the Search Bar

The thing is I've flashed all sorts of rom's before, but I wanted to try the 1 click rooting process. I think what happened is I flashed the SPL before I flashed the updated radio. I was doing some research on the whole thing. I flashed the SPL first.
if you use the DREAIMG.nbh to go back to rc-29, it is really easier to use the telnet commands then it is to root with the one click imo, you can use one-click root, but you have to find the newer version of the recovery flasher, and if you use it and don't flash a custom rom, then the system will overwrite the custom recovery image with the stock one. if you use the telnet commands then you will overwrite the stock recovery image with a custom one, so the telnet commands are more stable
to update your spl, make sure you have a pvt board in bootloader (camera and power) and that your radio is 2.22.19.26I (make sure you have that radio, not just assume after you flash it) then you can get rid of all the user error in flashing the 1.33.2005 SPL.

Were you already rooted when you did the 1 click root? - if you were then that might have been were the mess up happened because once you do the one click root you have to flash a rom (probabably cyanogen would be best) to continue or you lose root.
Following that question if you were already rooted and had hard spl and new radio - the one click might have cause you to lose that.
You have to flash from hard spl to danger spl
Radio should be newest or second to newest
Also it is said to flash hero rom right after flashing spl. - Which means not turning off your phone or rebooting after flashing
- I saw a video were they were at the rainbow boot screen and they flashed the Danger Spl and then inserted a new sd card that had hero and flashed it without rebooting.

is one click still ok ?
I've had my G1 for about a yr now. Watching the mods grow . Never had thought about rooting just because I didn't want to have to keep changing to keep up to date. Then the one click came out and it was time. Ordered my 8gig class6 sd and before I got it Google did this C&D to CY. I see people saying they are doing the 1 click method and the links they put on are before the C&D. Can it still work ? Also everyone who tries to give directions how to get root and roms are different. Even this thread has been changed or something was left out. Is there a true one click method ? I tried theUnlockr way 3 times and I still wound upwith a wiped phone. Please Help Me ...

one click will not work in donut 1.6. it will be patched, there is a thorough guide in my sig. i also have links i can give you for cm 4.0.4 and 4.1.11.1 if you want them.
1-click root only works with CRC1 and lower. Personally, I prefer to downgrade to RC29 and manually root it. I've done it about 20 times that way and have never once had an issue. In fact, I did it last night and today that way and both phones are rooted with Hero ROMs and running perfectly.
My advice, find a good tutorial (there are plenty, particularly the stickies on XDA on the subject) and download all necessary files ahead of time so that you aren't stuck in the middle of rooting looking for a file. If you want to flash the update "Danger" SPL, there is a combination radio/spl so that bricking is less likely. Search XDA for it. Also, check if you have PVT board first (camera+power). If not, brick it you will (or more than likely will). If I had to guess the main reason for problems and bricks it is that people rush the process and skip steps because they started the process without reading the whole tutorial.

I was rooted before I did the one click but I downgraded to RC29 with DREAIMG.nbh file. I did the 1 click process fine. I figured that what fxcked up my phone is that i flashed the custom SPL before I flashed the new radio first. I'm pretty sure thats what messed it up. I wanted to the Amon Ra's Recovery image and I didn't know how install that with out doing the 1 click root process.
ya if you flash spl before raidio that's what messed you up ! always radio first then spl . but you know that now .can you get in recovery at all ?

No I can't get passed the G1 boot screen. Its ok though T-Mo is sending me a "LIKE NEW" G1. I told them the donut update screwed my phone up. I can't believe I did the SPL first but its a mistake that could have cost me more then a 19.95 delivery fee that IS being waived by T-Mo.
But heres the question with 1 click root do I need to downgrade to RC29 or no?

Sounds good. Before screwing things up I always had good success in flashing roms trying multiple roms in a day. My favorite is the xRom. I am curious to see if eventually there will be a Cliq rom.
I had the latest (non beta) cyanogen mod installed, and I downloaded a theme (marks or something) via the CM Updater after the reboot the phone was screwed.. stock on the "G1" screen..
I had to flash back to RC29 and have manually updated back up to "cupcake"
but when I try to update to 1.6 I cant.. error..
Ive tried downloading what is supposed to be the correct file. (signed-kila-DRC83-from-CRC1.c41b93c1.zip)
from several different places.. no joy.
Im wondering if (eventually) it will automatically update.. ??
Firmware 1.5
Build CRB43
and No, I do not want another modded rom, it was fun to play with, but Im over it.

So you tried to re-root?
You were suppose to flash the cyan rom again.
I think you lose root by flashing the RC29 which you werent suppose to do.
It will auto update soon.
Actually yup that RC thingy takes root away..
I could care less if I have root. I just want it stock and up to date.

As i said you will get a OTA in a couple of days..Not sure exactly but server will notice your phone has 1.5 so will send update soon.
Hi I just wanna ask if anyone here knows a one click root for android 1.6 dmd64 or drc83? Since flashrec fails to backup recovery image(could not run command). I just want to keep the market interface since the rc29 market is ugly or is there any other way to update a rooted rc29 1.5 to dmd6/drc83 without having to unroot? Or another thing is there any skin patch for the rc29 market? So basically I wanna have rc29 with a drc83/dmd64 market skin(interface) while using flashrec for one click rooting answers are greatly appreciated thanks!
