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

Hiya guys,
I've got a NL G1 since 2 months but I really want to root my G1.
Here are the specs:
Model number: T-Mobile G1
Firmware Version: 1.5
Baseband Version: 65.505.20.17U_2.22.19.261
kernal version: 2.6.27-00393-g6607056 [email protected]#1
Build number: CRC1
I've gone over every possible way to Root a G1 but all fail.
If I want to downgrade my G1 to any RC 29/30/33/8/7.
None worked.
I've tried via various other ways, via update.zip (fond some way on the internet phandroid.com I believe)
I either get an not allowed message with the image (DREAIMG.nbh), or I get an error that the verfication fail while i try to do an update.zip.
If somebody can help me with this. I've flash countless PDA's, PSP's, MDA's but the G1 is not working for me.
Thanks in advance.

sounds like you have a continental European device correct?
If you do, you have a follow a separate guide that requires the use of a goldcard, its still rootable, you just need to do some searching. I won't baby you on how to find it since I've listed keywords that you could use to find it, but if you have problems within the guide, this is the place to ask and look first.
You might just want to search this forum first because another person had the same problem and it was solved, but if you can't search for those above terms in the developer's forum, i'm sure something'll turn up. ;P
yeah I indeed have a cointinantel G1,
And I don't want to use QMAT cause I need to pay, I've paid enough for the G1
Maybe, If its the only solution. A mate of mine got a rooted G1 I'll see him tonight to see if he can Root it for me.
I'll let you know how if he get;s it rooted
There's a Dutch guide here on how to root, I hope it helps
My mate tried yesterday every way execpt QMAT so its clear, so far it's the only way for Continantel G1
The dutch guide is ok. thnQ
But I'm going for QMAT with a WM device that's rooted my collegaue should be in any moment so I'll borrow his phone.
I'll post later on if it's rooted
I rooted my G1 with Help from all of XDA THNQ SO F*CKING MUCH
I used my terminal Emulater to get my CID (works perfect) then with the free Goldcard emailer i used HxH Hex Editor to edit my SD card.
Voila I could Image to RC7, got ROOT and Flashed it
i did had an issue when I put an a JFC ROM but then a did's dudes 1.3 r2 and is working like a chram.
The only thing I can't get to work is the auto rotate wich is possible after root.
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

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
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
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.
Another bump for me.
Please help.
bump please.
Hello, and yes I'm a NOOB with my first post...
I just got my HD7s and herer is the following info:
OS ver. - 7.0.7390.0
Firmware Rev. # - 2250.21.30306.502
Hardware Rev. # - 0002
Radio Software Ver. - 5.66.09.09a_22.46.50.21H
Radio Hardware Ver. - A.24.0.D4
Bootloader Ver. 3.4.2250.0(122650)
Chip SOC ver. 2.2.5.0
Here is my question:
What version of WP7 is this ? I have tried to update the unit the force update trick (20+ times) ond was not successful. I treid to load the ROM by ansar and that did not work, either. I think its runnig a demo program because after a few minutes, it runs a 'Get-to-know-Windows Phone' app.
Can anyone tell me what I have and what I can do to get pass this? Thanks in advance for any assistance.
that OS version is NoDo, aka copy & paste update.
you have the HD7S from AT&T, correct?
if so...
the NoDo ROM from ansar, should be the ROM the HD7S ships with...
the pre-NoDo ROM from ansar, is an UnBranded ROM that will downgrade to Pre-NoDo.
though, your HD7S does seem to be running a different ROM version.
3.04.502.06, to be exact.
which isn't the stock Shipped ROM.
unfortunately, no Shipped ROM with Mango has been made available, yet.
so, only way to get official Mango update is through Zune, aka OTA.
but since, the force update isn't working for you... you would have to wait.
you could go unofficial and go the Custom ROM route, if you so desired.
or maybe, since you just got the HD7S, i assume, take back to AT&T can ask if the ROM is Official or not.

Hello, I back with a follow-up.
I learned through tech support at HTC that my 'new' phone is a demo unit. It was suggested that I might go to an authorized ATT corp. center to get help with the software but I really doubt that they will be any help.
So, I hereby make a passionate plea to the gods of programming (that's you guys) to suggest a course of action for me to take.
Thanks for all replies in advance.
One more thing, I forgot to list number - PD29150.
well, if you didn't want to go and try and get a replacement...
you get try XSPL'ing your device.
then you could install a Shipped ROM or a Custom ROM.
i wrote a tutorial here.
good luck,
sh4d0w86.
I am going to try that tonight.
ATT wasn't very helpful or willing to help with a replacement since I didn't purchase directly from them.
Thanks for the tutorial link (I hit the thanks button, too).
Just successfully completed the XSPL and ROM flash.
Thanks for the info/ tutorial.
I am a happy HTC owner!
awesome. glad to hear that.
and thanks for the thanks.
