I've had my G1 since Christmas of 08 and I finally decided to root. I jailbroke my ipod touch, and I heard rooting is similar to that, so i'm up for the task. I have firmware 1.6 and build number DMD64.
What exactly do I need to do, and what is the best rom to date that is good to use?

Don't mean to be rude but did you read this before clicking New Thread?

Did you search or anything?
You won't get anyone here that's going to hold your hand or do it for you because in the twenty or so minutes that you waiting for the answer to be handed to you you could have found it for yourself by reading the above link and/or searching. So you are in actually just wasting your time posting your question. By the way since you are obviously new to XDA here's a fair warning. There are three types of people on here... those that help, those that are idle (just read but don't post) and those that need everything done for them. What kind do you think your first impression made and what kind of people do you think get flammed by the Senior Members that spend hours every week helping people like yourself by answering the same questions over and over again even after it's already been answered. And you're probably thinking "Instead of writing out this whole damn thing, why didn't he just tell me the answer?" Well because if you don't learn this way you're only going to rely on us from here on out if you are spoon fed. Again, I'm not trying to be a d!ck but if you want to make it here on XDA you have to play by the rules. Happy rooting!

A rooted phone is timeless, you can have any version of Android, whenever you want it. Therefore, it makes sense that an old thread is just as good as a new thread that has the same exact information other than the rom you flash.
Ok, I finished rooting my G1 and got to the HTC v.1.5.2 screen, now i'm going to install a rom
Thanks to all of the guides and youtube videos, I now have Manup456 Eclair 2.1 V1.5 on my G1! Just going back to put back in my ringtones and files. It's like I have a brand new phone!
Havent seen this asked yet but is there a way to root your g1 without a data plan and a data block put on your service (on ATT)

"Seen" well then you were only looking for about 2 seconds then. Google it.
wow, seriously? noone can get any help any more. everyone is just such a **** these days.
anyways, you need a data plan to root ur phone. you personally don't need it, but get a friend that has a data plan and use his SIM card for the procedure. and i'm sure there are some apps that force all data to be stopped and only allow wifi. i know my hero rom has an option to disable all data except for wifi built right in. i used hero_over. but i'm sure all hero roms have that option.

Your method is probably the most "common-sense" idea. We're not being dicks, we're just sick and tired of people not searching before posting, there's about millions of pages on google on the topic but they insist on coming here anyways. He can register through wifi with adb which most people do, so this pretty much contradicts the word "need" in your first statement. I won't carry on because I don't need to because I'd be a "****".

in anycase you're wrong, I haven't seen a question asking if you can root a phone without a data plan and a data block put on your phone.. keyword: DATA BLOCK... yes I am not an idiot.. I do search, why do alot of you seniors post on Q&A with "search please" ... just to get your post count up? Seems pretty regressive on helping people in a questions section.
Thanks to the other poster XD, but isn't there an option to get around it by entering in wifi to supplement the loss of a data plan and the addition of a data block?
Yes you can use no data plan too:

But when you really think about it, what's the point of having a Dream if you don't have a data plan? The majority of what the phone does involves intensive data plan usage, and I don't know about anybody else, but I actually use my device other than sitting at my computer.
Just my two cents.

Hello everyone, I just got a tilt by AT&T and found this forum while searching for ways to improve/add missing features. I have not worked with this type of software before but hope to learn a lot (likely at the cost of some frustration). Any recommendations on how or what you have done to improve the phone? Thanks,

Just take out some time from your daily life and search Do not ask a question unless you're certain it hasn't been asked before. You'll be shun upon. I'm just saying take some time, search, and you'll be a pro soon enough.
thanks for the heads up. the search for improvement has begun, and will likely go on indefinitely.

Very new to root and roms. I upgraded to 4.0.1 very soon after having 3.6.8.1.
What are some of the neat things you can do? What settings have you changed? I JUST found out that there was another keyboard other than the android touch.
I did not know where this was appropriate and did not want to junk up cyans rom thread. Hope this is okay and apologies if its not. Just want to know what other cool features I am missing out on, and to also see what settings people roll with.

Best way to get the whole story is to compare the changelog of 3.6.8.1 to 4.0.1 which is available in their respective threads. One thing that was cool was the global search function from donut but that go reverted in 4.0.1. It will probably make an appearance in the 4.x.x experimental series however.....
I should clarify, I did not have 3.6.8.1 long enough to find all the easter eggs either. What settings do you change or things do you use after flashing his rom?

i know the myfaves app doesnt work, in fact doesnt even appear lol, but the actual myfaves service still works right?
and do the im apps work? im talking about the native one. it doesnt seem to be working for me =/
also, i want my settings optimized for overall speed.. what do you guys use for this?

You don't want the mygayes app on your phone anyways, its just a hog. It still does work, if you need to set it up just go to your online account and do it.
What native im app are you talking about, its been to long since I had the factory rom installed. But I can vouch for aim and googletalk do work.
If you are on Cyanogens rom everything should be optimized to full speed.
yeah i never used the myfaves thing to begin with, thats why when i heard its gone if you root, i didnt really care lol. plus i was already planning on getting rid of the whole service anyway. but thanks!
im talking about the one that comes with the phone. has aim, msn, and yahoo. i try logging but it just endlessly keeps saying "signing in..". im not sure if i just have to wait, or if its not working.
awesome!

Point taken...my appologies...Supreme and I like to keep things lighthearted and have some fun. I'm sure I speak for him when I say we both apologize for offending you.
To answer your question....I was pretty much being completely serious about reading the change logs and comparing. That's where I get most of my info but as far as settings go, I second someone else's poste about the badass power widget. I also like the 5 homescreen options, the logcollector app is nice for troubleshooting, the fact that the buld.prop file has been changed slightly means that the new version of "My Account" runs properly without any futzing around, and playing around with the text app is fun because of the mms enhancements courtesy of rgv151.
Many of the other enhancements that make cyan's ROMs awesome are behind the scenes that just make it run faster (kernel tweaks, CPU scaling etc). These have no options available to the user, they just are part of the build that contribute to cyanoganized awesomeness.

Just like Direct said we ain't tryna make fun or nothing. We do help out alot, but after a long boring day of programming at work we got to do something fun to help pass time away. And hey we really didn't even joke around unlike the other thread. Best thing to do is just play around with the phone, try out all the apps, play with the settings, and just explore. Like Direct said alot of things are behind the scenes.

It was getting into a menu very similar to this on the Droid Incredible that enabled us to get Wifi Hotspot working without subscription.

Actually, since the entire Droid X forum here gets less hits than my personal website (which is unlisted, unadvertised and mostly for my friends and family), discouraging anyone from posting anything that might be additional or useful information is FAR more damaging to any community you might think you serve (FYI, "the community" is not considered "you and you alone" - despite what your parents may teach you).

I know there is development, but not NEARLY as much as other phones released at the same time, and certainly the majority of it isn't discussed here. Gee, wonder why.

b) Find the back button or the link located at the top of the page that takes you to the message list
THEN you can even begin to talk to me. Until then, let the discussion resume with the big people and you just stay quiet and let other people do all the work.

anyone know what data call enabled does ?
It is the only reason I would root my phone, I have unlimited data and would like to know if $20 root allows wifi hotspot to work without paying Verizon extra? Thank you.
Yes, now use the search button to figure it out.

You have unlimited data and you have done the $20 root and now you have wifi hotspot just by turning on the hotspot feature native to the Droid or are you using a tethering app to make it work? Thank you.

No, root alone doesn't give you that.

They are modding the build.prop or using Xposed modules to do it. Just like you would have to do if you had root any other way. The mod to the build.prop has to be done on the pre-rooted system.img and then flashed. Same with Xposed - it has to be installed in the pre-rooted system.img.

Thank you for taking the time to offer a more detailed explanation, I don't feel comfortable at this point with this $20 root, not because of the money but because I feel there is a good chance I will mess up my phone and when I ask for help I will be told to use the "search" feature. I am an expert in other areas where I am a member of other forums where I help others, if I know the answer to the question I give the person seeking help a complete answer, if I don't know: I say nothing. Telling somebody who is seeking help to "do a search" is not any help at all, just simply an unfriendly way of saying I know something you don't. I am not referring to you.

There are entire threads on this right on the first page of this forum.
No one is going to lose any sleep over it if you don't root your phone. Well maybe you will but none of the rest of us will.

These are the basic rules of these forums. Your posting this question in the wrong section. You would get a better response in Q&A where such questions belong. The answer to this question has also been posted in about every thread here, so if you can navigate and post, you can just as easily use the search function to find your answer... No matter your expertise. He was trying to help you learn how to use these forums correctly.

You are correct no sleep will be lost by anyone, least of all me. It's just a telephone, never forget that. Root, Lollipop, Roms don't add up to much in the scheme of things.

I can't live without free WiFi tether on my UDP line so for me it is a big deal. These cell phones are not just telephones anymore - I use it to connect to the internet to do everything from pay my bills to communicate with clients via email and getting other work done on my computer while outside of my office/home. It allows me not to have to be stuck inside at a desk all the work day. The freedom and flexibility a smartphone with WiFi tether gives me is invaluable to me.
Right now I have an N6 but it is too big and the screen has an issue so I think I am sending it back. Would love for this root method to work on my Moto X 2014, which is my favorite p hone.

This forum has rules, I didn't make them and don't necessarily agree with them.
You are wasting a lot of time and energy arguing here when you could be searching and reading to get the answer to your question

Well "NO" I wasn't trying to come off saying I know something you don't, I honestly feel that this thread was completely unnecessary because you could have done some reading in multiple threads on how to get wifi-tether for free. And you've been a member since 2011 so I figured you already knew about the search button. I was so tempted to just not even answer the question and tell you to do a simple search, but I had the common decency to answer it at least. To be fair, I did come off a little brash, so I will apologize for that, but threads like these annoy the crap out of me. Whenever I have a question or issue, I do my own research in order to find the solution, and only then if I don't find the answer to that question will I start a thread on the matter. So I will direct you to a very nice thread which will help you a little bit better in forum etiquette.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36880289
Pay attention to number 4, 5, and 6 on the guide as they are the most applicable to you.
I'll do my best to help you now, but please next time just simply read through a couple pages and search; most of the answers are usually already available.
Honestly, this is one of the easier rooting methods I've done next to "towelroot". This is easier than using Odin with my old galaxy s3 and s4, in my opinion. It's certainly a heck of a lot easier than using the old school "paper clip method" in the HTC Rezound, LMAO. Anyone that has done it knows what I'm talking about. Actually, that was my favorite method of obtaining s-off. It took unlock the bootloader to a whole new level. A pretty interactive method. Anyways, I digress.
Just follow the instructions on the video exactly as Tom says and you will be perfectly fine. Once you get to the part where you are actually rooting the phone with the image, DO NOT TOUCH your phone, cable, or turn off the laptop or then you will be in trouble. The only difference you need is to download an IMG with wifitether already built into the app, because unfortunately, this method does not have Write Protection off (as of right now), this pretty much means you cannot make any changes to the code on your phone after flashing the image. So that means you don't get all the fancy stuff that you normally get with root unless you make the changes PRIOR to flashing. I know this is a lot to absorb, but it's good to know.
So with that being said, once you have purchased the rooting method, download the image off this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/dro...xt1254-21-44-12-quarkrootwifihotspot-t3064908 and unzip, then drag it into the box like you would in the video and everything should go smoothly. Once completed, you will have native wifi tethering on your phone so all you have to do is go to Settings>More...>Tethering & Mobile Hotspot and you're all set.
If you have any other questions, please go to the correct threads and/or use the search button.
Alright, I got tired of reading the somewhat nasty unhelpful comments so I'll chime in. Yes you can have Wifi hotspot with this root. I'm on a weird unadvertised Verizon plan. I have 6gb of data but wifi tethering still costs extra. Total bull****.
If you use the image someone on here made that has xposed working on it then you can download a module for xposed called Moto Tether, or maybe its called X Tether. Either way once exposed is up and running you can download and install that module, reboot and viola, the built in wifi tether works perfectly.
The other way that I'm aware of requires someone to modify the build.prop file from the system image, then repack that image which you can then flash. I don't know if anyone has done that yet though.
So I hope that answers your question.
If you don't already know why tethering doesn't work, and this is just from what I understand which may very well be wrong- when you go to use the wifi tethering it checks the build.prop file for permission which then uses the entitlement apk built into the phone to check your verizon account to see if you're subscribed to the feature with verizon. For people like me or those with unlimited data that feature costs more so unless your paying for it the entitlement app says no you don't have permission to use the feature.
I spent hours searching all over the damn web to piece that much together. Hope it helps.

WIFI
Well This was simple math for me. I logged into my Verizon account and cancelled the tether at 30.00 per month. Paid 20 dollars for this. used the .IMG with the tether fix included. I did watch some of the youtube video to get me going. I also read through the good posts and the bad ones. Now I profit and if only for 1 month I come out ahead. I am still on a old Alltell plan and they always give me a hard time about switching to something else. I only used about 6-8 gigs a month anyways, but I want to use it the way I want.
Thanks to all.

I just used MOFO root to root my droid turbo, i actually had to do it twice, but it didnt take long once i had all the files downloaded. I used rootjunky you tube page and followed his instructions.
Now for your original question i am searching for an image that frees the wifi hotspot but i havent been able to locate it yet. If i find it i will let you know.

All of the rooted images available in the development section of the droid turbo forums have tethering enabled. Computerfreek's rom has it, and first encounter's rom includes it as part of the optional patch.
