Ok, I want to get root access on my g1. I can simply follow this guide to get it, correct? http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-root-a-t-mobile-g1-and-mytouch-3g-android-phone/
Once that is done I'll have to re-register my gmail account info stuff. I do not have the data plan so I will have to follow JF's guide correct?
Also, say I ever wanted to "Unroot" my phone, is this possible? And if something is wrong with my phone, and it is still under warrenty, I can reset it so they will never know it's been rooted correct? (It DOES void the warranty???)
Thanks for your time!
yes that guide will work. if you still have 1.5 i recommend doing the one-click method since if you install cyanogen's rom, then you can skip signing into google. if you want to unroot, then flash rc29 through bootloader and you will have stock.
Darn... I just updated to 1.6 a few days ago.. what do you suggest I do? 1 click won't work with donut?

then downgrade to rc29, then use JF's guide to register, then root via telnet commands, and the one click root was patched with the 1.6 update.

yeah but by then i don't see much a difference since getting to rc29 is the hard part.

Is there any guide to root JP3 specifically? Because i can´t find anything specifically to JP3 as i find to older and newer firmewares...
If there is there a guide to root JP3, can you point it to me???
Thanks
Now, this is weird, I'm quoting myself:
Darkstriker said:
1.What is root/rooting?
root is the user account in Linux with all privileges. The root user can edit anything on the system. For safety reasons, users do not have all those privileges. When you root your phone, you will gain write access to areas of the phone you couldn't previously access and are allowed to run more commands in the terminal. There is a tutorial for rooting in the Post #2 and a link to a OneClick Utility in Post #5.
If all of this means nothing to you then you are probably wise to NOT root your phone. Mistakes using root can break your phone very easily. (Usually, but not always, these can be solved with a reflash)
Note: At the time of writing, the Froyo firmware XXJP3 firmware has only been rooted with a complete firmware flash by MoDaCo.

I know what is rooting a device...
I use Linux at home.
I just can't find a guide specifically to JP3...
Some say that the JPC guide is good to root JP3 but i did want confirmation...
Cheers
I can't confirm that. It might be true but I guess the solution from MoDaCo is just so much simpler.
Search the forum. Theres a root for JP3. I think you need to flash with odin then apply update.zip and flash back.
Or you can try this rom, jp3 pre-rooted http://android.modaco.com/content/s...insecure-boot-clockworkmod-recovery-for-odin/
Here's the specific guide with downloads for JP3.

Why would you want jp3 jpc is far better ....

Well i guess that for jpc i need some extra code after flashing and as i'm new to this i don't want to take any risks...
thanks anyway...
Well, i've used the pre rooted JP3 and looks like it's working fine...
Thank you all...
Tell me something else
The terminal emulator app is not working well... Spaces are not accepted and some letters don't appear in screen as i write them...
Is there anyne else that works good???
Thank you
Bumping my question...
There's not much to add. Stock FroYo, based on WWE 3.15.405.3, rooted. As many of you were asking for.
Changes:
added root permissions
removed radio image (if needed, can be downloaded from here)
nothing else
Download from:
RapidShare
MediaFire
4Shared
FilesHost
MegaUpload (thanks to Zeyckler for this mirror)
Alternatively you can download version with removed boot sounds:
RapidShare
MediaFire
Cheers
People might shut up about it now. Lol
I can guarantee that people will now ask for one that doesn't include the radio.

Would be possible to remove radio update from de ROM? I'm saying it just to make the flashing process safer, and in case you already have an updated radio there's no need to re-update again.
please remove boot sound
AllWin you are the best! Thank you very much!

Use Silent Boot app, you can find it in the market. It works very well.
Thanks Bro, this rom works awesome.

Do Nandroid backup first, so you can roll-back if needed.

it's always recommended to do a nandroid backup before flashing anything, but at the end it's your call
Yes, i would recommend to do nandroid backup first. If something goes wrong, you'll be able to restore your phone into previous state.
thanks guys i have only one last question is this rom based on the Vodafone rom or based on the unbranded rom that came out 3 days ago?

Well since I cant find any info about my problem anywhere:
How to install your rom file (unsigned zip based), if someone (like me) installed already the plain unrooted version of [ROM]RUU_Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.3_Radio_47.51. 35.17_7.13.35.05_release (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870345).
I tried downgrading back to 2.1, but here I always get an "Error [140]: Bootloader version error".
I tried ROM Manager with Visionary+ (first temproot, which works fine, then try to boot up the recovery rom), with no luck so far. The device starts to load the recovery rom and ends up with a red question mark above a symbolic legend device graphic. I think, it tells me, that it has found a not valid rom (the recovery rom itself is here the culprit?).
I tried r4-legend-root, only to see all times a offline device with ADB in the HTC stock recovery mode. The error message is "error: device offline", so r4-legend-root does not continue. Also tried those plug out-wait-plug in thingies, but still no luck with this.
So I am totally stuck. Could bite me in the a*se, since I had an rooted V2.1 running, and if I had seen that rom here, I would saved a lot of time.
Maybe U could provide a RUU*.exe signed version, or a signed ZIP, so I can flash it happily with inbuild stock legend tools?
Or is there some other kind of method to get that ROM on my legend?
I just moved to Germany, and purchase this phone...Is there anything special I need to do or avoid when rooting this phone to keep the phone and data working? Or can I just root using the standard root methods for this phone?
No, why did you think that ?
Easiest is to flash another kernel, like Semaphore, which will give you root instantly.

I'm using chroma ROM and my satellite provider requires it's app to run on an unrooted phone. I'd there an easy way to unroot my Nexus without having to wipe?

Flash the system image from a factory image. If your kernel is modified, flash the boot IMG as well.
Use wugs toolkit.

So just to get this straight and I don't screw up my phone. I find the stock rom same version as my chroma which is LMY48B. I extract it and using fastboot I install system.img and boot.img? My phone is unencrypted right now... Will it get encrypted?
And when I need root again I must just install it along with Franco Kernel I'm using?
I appreciate the help...

I installed it on my laptop but even though my phone is rooted I don't see an option to unroot... Maybe because I didn't use regular rom and used chroma instead?

First, why are you trying to unroot?
You would download a factory image form the Google developer page. Extract twice, and grab the system image from there. Yes, match the version your phone is currently on.

I'm trying to unroot because my satellite provider uses an app like sky go that requires your phone to be unrooted... I need to watch a game sometimes when I'm at work.

Have you considered multi ROM? You could have your rooted normal set up and a non rooted as well.
Can't you just go into supersu settings and unroot? That way you can stay on chroma

Depends on how deeply his situation is looking for root files. The unroot feature of SuperSU doesn't remove everything.

How about the encryption? Chroma is unencrypted. If the second rom is encrypted what happens there?
I'm also trying to find a stock rom that is not pre-rooted to install from recovery. Can you show me the latest I can get?

My friend I installed multirom and used an older Chroma rom that wasn't pre-rooted. it worked like a charm.... Now I can just go to this rom and use all my apps that require the phone to be unrooted.... Again thanks for the idea....
Can I just ask what version of chroma wasn't pre rooted? I want to do the same if possible. Thanks

well, 2 months ago it was being called older.. anyways, the far majority of roms do not have root. you need to flash the supersu file shen flashing the roms, for root. but, to flash a rom, yoh need an unlocked bootloader and twrp recovery. most apps that check for root will still think that you have root though.

i must have fell asleep during this development lol
far as i have ever seen, its rare for a rom to not be rooted, however, more frequently devs have had it off by default, and its a treasure hunt to find where to turn it on.
i do always flash the su zip, to avoid this tedious hunting though.

yup I found that most are pre-rooted, though found cleancore that works great. I've just installed multirom and that booted into it then tested a couple of apps that are blocked on root (Banking app and Sky Go), and happy days they work great.
Its annoying and rather wasteful having have a second rom just to run a couple of apps but at least now I can use the apps on my device if I want to. Thanks
Typical apps block hacking (root) so the work around instead of unrooting is to go deeper with the hacks/mods
