I'm on Cyanogen 4.2.13 right now, but I really wanna try out the 2.1 roms. I was wondering if it's possible to downgrade from 2.1 back to 1.6, in case I don't like the 2.1 roms. Would a nandroid backup work?
Yes Or You can Just Flash a New 1.6 Rom n i good fast n Stable 2.1 Room Try the KiNgxKxlicK Rom =D

Flash the htc recovery image then cyan, that will get you situated. An easier thing to do next time is make a nandroid before flashing though

First of all forgive me if this question as been asked a million times but to be honest I'm finding the Dream section a mess.
Now onto my question.... I've rooted my G1 and I'm currently running JF 1.51 with hero skin, now I'm I correct that I will always be rooted as long as I stick to custom roms?
The other thing is when I go into recovery mode I get a message at the top of the screen something like "Unable to find /system/command/recovery.cmd" am I correct that means I'm unable to proform backups? which is no big deal for me.
Finally whats the deal with this new spl, do I really need it to run a hero ported rom? I only ask because in all my years flashing windows phones the spl is something you should flash once and leave alone to avoid errors that can brick your phone.
Yes you will always be rooted. Not really sure on the recovery thing...You might want to try to fix that by flashing another recovery image. Yes you need the new spl to run the hero ROM since its HUGE

Thanks for the fast reply, as for the recovery thing like I said I would never back anything up and restore it anyway (I've always started afresh with every new rom)
Now going back to the spl thing.... Ive already updated my radio to the latest so when I do finally go for a hero rom and do flash my spl is the new spl a custom one which will allow me to reflash back down to a non-hero rom? or do I have to go back to the orginal hardspl first?
The new SPL was released by haykuro and it allows you to have about 30 more mb of space on your system partition. It still allows you to flash non-hero ROMs as well as hero ROMs. Sorry for the slow response >.>
Thanks alritewhadeva everything is clearer now.
so i had a rooted g1 running cupcake but i tried to install the super hero v2 rom and i got stuck at bootloop so i flashed back to rc29 and i dont know what to do from here. do i start back from square one or is there an easier way to get back to root access and what are the newest and best roms to use?

You still have root. There is no reason you lost it. As long as you meet all the specs all you gotta do is load up another rom and wipe and update.
Bestest (not a word) cupcake ROM, IMHO is cyanogen's 3.6.6. Bestest Hero ROM would either be cyrowski's or DrizzyJAc's
Hi. I rooted using ''http://theunlockr.com/''. One click root. I then flashed cyanogen 1.2 on to my phone and put the prodigul sun theme on it. However I then got bored of this and wanted to flash donut 1.6, but still keeping my rooting abilities. So I downloaded it from this link
''http://db.androidspin.com/android_developer_display.asp?developerid=21''
''TheOfficial TMO CRC37 - EU v1.8.4'' <--- im in UK (downloaded base image)
Put it on to my sd card and renamed it ''update''
Did a nandroid back up then applied update
Then rebooted
NOW THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM IS AT!
When it gets to the ''android'' start up screen bit, the flashing bit that goes across the word sometimes stops every so often, as if its in a loop. Iv been waiting for it start up on this screen for a good 10-15 minutes now.
Does anyone know where I went wrong? Any help be be so greatly appreciated!
1st u need cyanogen' 1.4 recovery. And crc37 isnt donut its cupcake. So when u find the donut rom put at the root of you sd wipe and flash. Should be good after that!

HAI
I was noob too like you.
I know good ROM.
Try SuperBad. Latest of course.
I've always been a fan of CyanogenMod
i have tried others ROM's but i keep going back to CM
CM5.0.7-DS
read the instructions
download the files
read the instructions AGAIN
then flash
i made a mistake the 1st time i flashed it because i did not reboot after the SPL update...... phone just sat there at the G1 screen for 20 minutes before i rebooted it.... sometimes they take a while to boot the 1st time after flashing but not 20 min
went form CM4.2 to CM5.0.7-DS...... Love it
thanks for helps

Hi, my G1 is currently running MLIGN Hero 3.0, I believe I have DangerSPL installed, not sure about the radio (Does it matter what Radio I have for that ROM?)
Im not sure if my SD is partitioned though??
Please could you give me a bit of a guide here , its been along time since I flashed my G1,
I think the process is, Wipe Data, Dalvik cache, wipe ext partition, then format SD, then Partition SD? Then toggle USB and place 1.5.1 Superbad onto the SD, then flash it and hope all goes well??
Thanks!! I appreciate it!! (Sorry to hijack your thread OP)
Super E, absolutely
I have been trying to flash the CM7 Rom to my G1 and continue to get the same error messages... I tried uploading a pic but the app wouldn't let me, so I will try and get the pic posted asap
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
what is your radio/spl?
also have you flashed many other roms before?
Please using following combination for Radio and SPL. Also note, flash radio first and then SPL otherwise G1 will not boot. Also make sure you have Clockworkmod recovery for CM7. This recovery helps for smooth flashing for CM7.
update_2.22.28.25_S - Radio
hboot0013d-signed - SPL

OK, this might be sorta a strange question, but this looks to be the best place to ask it.
Will the Dream be bootable if you flash only the Radio and SPL, leaving untouched the stock Android 1.6?
While I am a Linux geek, I am new to android and prefer to take things one step at a time. That explains why I have a Rooted dream with Amon RA with the stock 1.6 backed up with nandroid.

never tried, theoretically it should be as if you did a factory reset and you would just use your recovery to replace anything lost. but if you want to be safe maybe someone who has will chime in.
besides the point go ahead and flash a new rom, even if you stick with 1.6 firmware the developers have come out with much superior roms over the stock android. if you want only 1.6 try super d or super csdi
ok so i decided to test this out, updating a g1 to the 2708+ radio/spl and not flashing a new rom -------- stuck on g1 boot screen, hit call+menu+power then hit home to reboot to recovery, reflashed rom and gapps, rebooted, now everything is good as can be, so to answer your question --- yes it appears you need to flash a rom after you update your radio/spl
