ROOTING Tattoo

Hi to all
I'm starting to try root my tattoo
After installed Android SDK i've followed any (how-to-root) all other most commercial android-phones like magic, hero, etc.
But nothing happens on my tattoo. Many "how-to-root" guides tells to begin the rooting starting from two points.
or flashing with a rooted ROM
or typing "adb shell" command and blablabla
I think that the good way to root our tattoo is the second way.
I've tried to inject the superuser in my tattoo but no hope for the moment.
Your support is much welcomes

hi all

@Sengine
you cant use the methods out there to root your tattoo. Most methods out there are for the android cupcake i.e 1.5(dream, hero etc) and the tattoo runs android 1.6. Also the first step to rooting your phone is getting a custom recovery image, and as far as i know no such recovery image exists for the tattoo yet. I had a tattoo for a week, sold it and got a hero instead.
@above
Can you at least turn your phone on? try turning it on pressing power and back if u can enter fastboot mode (three android guys on skateboards). then try flashing your phone with the official RUU. Instructions are available on this forum itself. But if you cant even turn your phone on..and the computer doesnt recognise it at all. im sorry to inform you, you may have bricked your phone.

@Sengine
Donot use the methods out there unless they specify that they are safe for the tattoo. else you may brick your phone.

@eldrid: where does the custom recovery image which works on the hero comes from? perhaps we can contact its developer and ask for help.

the most "famous" recovery images for G1&Magic&Hero&Nexus One are made by Amon Ra

Thank You for your support...
But i want to begin a discussion about "which first steps to do for root Tattoo ???"
- Take a recovered ROM and working on to try to have superuser?
- Try via ADB SHELL?
- etc...
Please post your comments.

Have you taken a look at superboot for t-mobile pulse on modaco forum?How the boot.img has been modified?Maybe that will help.

Thanks. Reading that said article now.
EDIT: I think we may have stuck gold....

Any development on this regarding Tattoo?

I can't understand why we cannot downgrade our Donut roms to cupcake like other devices with the G1 method. Since its the same ROM, what is special about this if we have both kernels we can compare differences bassically so find out the method, true?

Donut and Cupcake are two different setups. One has patches and stuff from cupcake, the other is just a vanilla cupcake.
The thing is that we're stuck on getting the device to allow rooting - the same issue with the Eris. It's driving us insane, but perisistance and a few beers should carry us to the finishing line.
All the G1 exploits have been found and fixed in the HTC Click (Tattoo), so we're pretty much stuck. Unless fastboot can do us a favor, well....
You may want to do the process outlined in modaco's "Superboot" thread. If you can get your device to reboot and load into Android when you upload that boot.img file, try a su and see if we have root.
Other than that, it's a no-go. We'll get there, we need time to revise the plan.

I would recommend Tattoo people and devs to look into kernel exploits and bootloader exploits, like Eris people are doing right now, it may the the last chance of actually being able to root the Tattoo, unless somebody gets their hands on a HTC signed S-OFF bootloader ;P

How to get my G1 back on track?

Hey guys,
First of all, thank you for spending time on reading this thread, I really need your help.
I wanted to root my phone (G1) etc. etc. So I downgraded it but didn't like it at all! So I descided to move back up again (latest software version).
I spent hours on the internet searching for software, firmware etc. And I managed to set my phone to RC33 and firmware version 1.1 ... Now my phone is not what it used to be, I guess firmware version 1.1 is kinda old isn't it? Strange enough my phone says it already is fully up to date...
So my question is; could you guys help me out, with getting the latest firmware/software whatever?
Thank you in advance!

Well, what you could do is: Go back to the earliest framework specified in say the cyanogenmod rom, which is RC29. Use that to flash your phone to gain root. It will be very odd looking because it the lowest thing. But then you can flash the awesomness of cyanogen onto it and you'll be good to go.
Also what you said you wanted to root it, so you downgraded. That is but the first step needed. i wouldnt want to stay there either. So yeah follow that guide and you should be on your way.

Although I will admit that it is probably the best running firmware for the G1 thus far!

So in "short" you'd advise me to:
Downgrade to RD29 *again*
Get my phone rooted
And install the cyanogenmod Rom
Is that correct? Now I don't see all the applications on the Android Market, some disappeared, will they return?

In short, yes. I know it seems odd to downgrade to upgrade. But to gain root you have to use RC29. To gain root its not too bad. you have to use RC29 to do it. You just install that. start it up. And then download the app "telnet" from the market. and then run a few commands. from there you can upgrade back up. And yes you should see everything in the market. Yeah its kinda annoying but there are some great results possible.
A more in depth set of instructions is located on the Cyanogen wiki. I cant post a direct link due to my account status but google "how to install cyanogenmod" and its about the 3rd result.

Got stuck...

Okay, so here's what I did. I downgraded my G1 to RC29, rooted it successfully. Downloaded the latest cyanogenmod, named it setup.zip, went to recovery mode, did a factory reset and installed the setup.zip. Now my G1 won't get past the load screen (which says G1). What did I do wrong?? I can get still into recovery mode...
Thanks for the help so far!

So I came up with an idea, I need to add a new update.zip how to connect to the computer through recovery mode??

aww, noob threads are cute!

Welcome to the forum and thanks for not clicking any of the stickies labeled READ ME BEFORE YOU POST in any of the forums.

I started reading through that, downloading the files that it said to download but I'm stuck at the "1.6 Recovery Image" file. The link goes to a page that offers files for the Android DevPhone, but I just have a normal TMobile G1. What file am I supposed to use?

Ok, thanks, but... I'm still a bit confused: all the instructions I've seen for upgrading to Android 2.1 say to use cyanogenmod, but the cyanogenmod site says that it is based on Android 1.6 (according to cyanogenmod.com/about), so is that really what I'm supposed to use?

I apologize, stupid SEO plugin was rewriting the url and messing up a seperate plugin. Links are now working if you still need to upgrade.
My tutorial shows you how to root and upgrade everything and install cyanogenmod 4.2.15.1 if you want to try the 2.1 version which is in testing, go to the cyanogenmod repository on my site, go into the testing folder for the G1 and download that rom instead. Use that rom instead of 4.2.15.1 as the final step.

Follow the directions on the main post.
If you have gtalk pm me your gtalk email and I'll try and step you through it if you absolutely can't figure it out.

Thanks for all the answers! I think I have a good understanding of what I need to do now, so here goes...
*crosses fingers*

I'm following the instructions on myhangoutonline.com.
Well, so far so good, with some minor hiccups:
During the downgrade your phone step, when the phone says "Press the action key" after step 6, it's talking about the trackball button. Took me a little while to figure that out.
However, after I pressed it, it just went back to the initial multicolor gradient screen, with the addition of a line in the middle that said "Serial0". (maybe it was there before, but I missed it?) I ended up having to pull the battery because I could figure out how to make it reboot.
After reboot I had to go through the Google sign in process. Not a big deal, but it'd be nice to mention that this is necessary.
Upgrading recovery seemed to go pretty much as described. On to the apparent dangerous step of upgrading the radio & spl!

Uh oh! It looks like something didn't work. I started up in recovery mode, but there's no option in the menu for "Mount SD card".
I tried going to console, then "ls /sdcard", but no files show up, and /sdcard doesn't show up as a mounted filesystem when I run "mount".
I couldn't figure out how to get out of the console ("exit" just took me back to a "press enter" prompt, and then back into the console), so I ended up pulling the battery again.
Now what? Should I try upgrading recovery again?

Help on root dmd64

have a g1 1.6 build dmd64, and since i doubt there will be any more ota updates for this phone i have decided to root. i have never rooted a phone b4 but i am pretty tech savvy, i have flashed firmware on a psp b4.. i have heard that the dmd64 build cannot be rooted traditional ways, i have heard that there is a special way to root this build. Is this true? And if there is a special where would i find best guide on how to accomplish the root on dmd64? If anyone has rooted a dmd64 build b4 you are the perfect person to help me out, but any help would be great.

Yes, its true. Check out my recent thread on rooting DMD64

Hi i have a DMD64...i installed universal Androot.apk and it will work out for you...google it

Make sure you check if you are actually rooted after rooting with Universal Androot. I used it to initially try and root my G1 with DMD64 and it said it worked but I didn't have root access. I wish I could remember what I actually used to finally get it done.. let me look through my bookmarks and see what I can find for you.

I just did this with CM6. If you need help let me know.

NOOOOOOOB
I hate posting and asking for help. I enjoy figuring things out for myself. G1 with dmd64. Apparently I have rooted using the ANDRoot method. Shooting for install of Cyanogenmod 6, but not married to that if someone has other suggestions.
Problem? For a long list of reasons I won't get into, I am stuck using a Mac 10.4.
Just makes all instructions I am following a little bit different. I have dreamimg'ed...Put the mod on my root, all kinds of things, even starting from scratch with factory resets etc...
While I haven't "bricked" I have yet to get any MOD working yet. Have started of thinking of "different" ways of doing things so that they will take hold...Yet have realized I am getting awfully close to bricking..
Does ANYONE know of procedure to use/put on MOD using a MAC? I know I'm a NOOB, but I doubt I'm the first...

I used the instructions at this wiki. When it comes to flashing the recovery, I had to look into the discussion section and use what one of the users posted to actually get telnet to flash the recovery to my phone. I did however manage to successfully flash my G1 with CM6.

Thank you. Good stuff. I guess my question in particular is...My phone IS rooted (checked with T emulator) but before I flash mod, do I still have to change the radio? Right now I'm listed at dmd64, do I have to goto one of the RC's or can I just flash? I have tried to change the radio but it always stops at the rainbow screen.

Personally, I did exactly what that guide I linked said. I'm not sure if you can just flash or if you have to downgrade. I do know, though, that downgrading is pretty simple and it doesn't take much time. As for the radio, I know that CM5 and CM6 (and I am assuming CM7 also) require DangerSPL. When you flash DangerSPL, the instructions also tell you which radio to flash, and to be careful because flashing the incorrect radio can brick your phone.

[Q] Questions about ADP1

so my friend recently gave me his old G1, and i did some searching around and discovered that HTC made a dev version. now, being new to android, i have absolutely no clue what the differences are. i want to update my adp1 to froyo, but i get lost when i look up stuff about rooting or whatever. can anyone dumb it down for me or link me to an easy to follow walkthrough? i'm not sure whether or not guides for the g1/dream can be applied to the dev version. please help a noob in need

ADP1 shipped with bootloader 0.95.3000 whereas non-ADP shipped with 0.95.0000. 3000 let you flash unsigned images. That is the difference.
Note that all 0.95 SPLs are obsolete now.

That is the way that most of us rooted our phones. It's reasonable simple, downgrade, type teldnetd, open telnet app, install a recovery, update radio, set boot partitions(if using customMTD)/install danger SPL, and flash CM. If you would like to get as much performance as possible from your phone, I suggest using ezterry's rom, but for that you will need to update the radio and spl through adb and fastboot, which is a little bit more advanced. If you need anything don't be afraid to ask.

hm so i'm looking at the instructions on the link you gave me; i won't be able to login to my google account without a 3g plan huh? i guess i'll have to get that before i do anything?
and it doesn't matter that i have the ADP1 instead of just a regular G1?

Well in that case use this link, since your bootloader is already factory unlocked, you can use the fastboot commands to flash a recovery image. You will need to have adb and fastboot from the android sdk installed on your computer. There are guides in the rom bible on the development forum to help you with that.
EDIT: and try this trick for skipping the initial login so that you can use wifi to sign in if you have to.

unfortunately that trick does not work with the ADP1 =(
i flashed with DREAIMG.nbh and cannot bypass the setup thing; then i discovered this article: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
which i completed up until the "installing drivers" step that i don't know how to complete because the computer doesn't even recognize that a device is plugged in, so now my phone thinks it's a G1 and i cannot get past the login screen and i cannot complete the ADB setup with my phone. what do i do?
---------------
EDIT: alright so i bypassed the login by swapping SIMs with a friend who has a 3G plan, but anyhow, when i plug it into my comp, i don't get an option to "Install drivers from my pc" according to the guide i referenced earlier in this post....
