Hey guys,
I got a google g1, and I have loved it on its stock 1.6. However I wanted to root it and get it. up to android 2.0 using various roms around here. Anyways, so I followed the how to thread and it got me downgraded to rc 29, but everytime I try to boot into recovery mode and apply the hardspl update from my sdcard, I get an error that it says it is not verified, and that the update failed...any way around this?
Thanks!
Trev

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
I need help quick! Im stuck on rc29 and I cant update!!! Everytime i try to unzip the Update.zip folder it tells me Signature (302) failed or something like that. It feels like ive tried every single download possible. Ive tried to go rc29 to rc33. Ive also tried to go rc29 to rc30 but none of them seem to work or is it me? HELP!!!
thanks!
surely you have been here long enough to realise that you get no love when you ask in the wrong section
Did you rooted the device and installed custom recovery image???
It seems like you tried the roms without flashing the custom recovery image as the custom roms cannot be flashed with original recovery..
The best custom recovery is Amon Ra 1.6.2 for the dream and magic..
However you should be able to flash the official OTA updates like cupcake or donut.. straigt from RC29 without rooting the device too..
Thanks!
Moved as not Android Development.
sorry about posting in the wrong section...my bad!
and how would i force and OTA update?
i dont have a option for system updates..
oh and also, i always get the corrupt file with i try to flash a official update...any ideas?

Please help

You have cyanogen recovery 1.4 you say?
First:
install 1.33.2003 (very important -- ends in a THREE) SPL. Search the forum for it, should be around.
Second:
install 2.22.19.26 or 2.22.23.02 radio (.19.26 is available at developer.htc.com/adp.html).
Third: install a newer recovery image. Check the dev forum.
Fourth: install any ROM you like. You can install the bone stock ADP1 system image (like tmobile stock, but has root), if you want to try CM6, you should look in the dev forum for firerat's MTD PARTITION HACK THREAD. Hell, it would do you good anyway.
Thanks! Time to do some reading and get this resolved.

Hi guys, need some help, my wife's Droid doesn't allow me to update to 2.2, it keeps saying aborted.
1-Phone not rooted
2-Phone won't even flash Clockworkmod Recovery
3-used the official OTA
I need some help since some of the apps are updated to 2.2 the phone won't update them, thanks in advance.
I'll even take a method to root+2.2 together if there's one, thanks again.
You really should search before asking stuff like this.
Well, no 2.2 is not possible in xt720 yet. The kernel can be flashed. JIT and APPS2SD work too! even theming is possible.
Hope that answers your question.
Guys, i'm running a G1 with the latest cyanogen mod but it's been eating at my battery too much and it's way too slow. So i wish to downgrade to donut (1.6). Can anyone help me? I haven't flashed an android phone in a long while and i guess i forgot.
I appreciate it
PS: will that lock the phone back up? Or will i still be able to use it normally with any carrier?
Posting reply because the topic is...well in the lack of better words, invisible, both in my stats and on the forum...(the heck?)
The phone will still be unlocked.
You need to flash a new ROM.
Try superD. It's a donut rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613809
Download: http://files.benbuchacher.com/Android-MT3G-G1 Archive/SuperD/SuperD 1.11/NoRamhack/
You'll need to wipe and flash it from recovery
The best ROM for G1 is probably froyobylaszlo. Its fast.
You'll need the 2708+ radio and spl though. And thats advanced to install
Figured it'd be easier to unroot it...couldn't wait anymore since it's my only phone and i need it.
But i really appreciate giving me the correct link for SuperD. I've been searching and i didn't know which one of the 2 available links to download.
BTW, when i do decide to root it again, i guess i'll be using SuperD, but what steps would i have to take to root and flash the new rom. I am asking you because it's an older rom and i am new to this.

Stop at "Flashing CyanogenMod"
Put the SuperD zip and this zip on the SDCard
Flash the DRC83 zip first then SuperD
Reboot and Enjoy
Thanks a lot I appreciate it
And again it's me. Having more problems. Got a Samsung Galaxy Trend as an early birthday present yesterday and now i want to completely restore my g1 back to stock (again). This is where things got complicated. I used a tutorial on "Unlockr" which obviously doesn't work. Managed to unroot and return to 1.0, then i managed to get to 1.5 where i started receiving errors with every single update i tried. So i re-downloaded 1.0 (rc29), i go into the bootloader (the red-green-blue-white screen) it starts checking something then pops out a "not allow" error, which then sends me back to the rainbow screen where i get the serial0 error.
I've tried downloading dreaimg.nbh from multiple sources but i always get that error.
Here's some info for you guys:
Hboot-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
Radio-2.22.19.26I
Now i honestly have no idea what to do. Can anyone give a fellow android user some assistance?
EDIT: I somehow managed to get my hands on the right files and went all the way up to 1.6. But now i can't activate the phone because i don't have a data plan and i can't use adb to activate wifi. Why must this be so ridiculously hard?
What can i do to flash back to rc29? I need to do that so i can activate the phone and then go back up to 1.6.
here a guide how to do it
