Can you skip sign into google

I am running 1.5 stock firmware and i currently have my phone plan off so i dont have access to internet therefore im running off wifi. Now i wanna update to 1.6 firmware but dont want to cause im scared i wont be able to use my phone after

if the image is based off of the adp phone then you can skip the activation.

if you use the official update whether you wait for OTA or update it manually it won't delete your user information, you won't have to sign in again, no worries

but the candy is sooo much better

since you said you phone was off and didn't have a data connection only wifi i wanted to let you know that if you do upgrade to official 1.6 and decide you want to flash a custom rom in the future the one click method no longer works and you will have to downgrade to gain root wich will require signing in over your data connection

How do I root android 1.6?

I have android 1.6 and have been trying to root my device with no success
-I downloaded the rc29, unzipped and placed dreaimg.nbh to the root of sd
-restart holding camera button but it wont let me flash it from there
any help will be greatly appreciated and thanks in advanced and sorry for being such a neewb

you gotta hold camera and power but pretty sure you are doing that and hmmm try several different links for the rc29 nbh file or you can try downgrading to cupcake the downgrading to rc29.
you might have to wipe too not so sure though

yeah Ive done all that but no luck
When I go into bootloader it doesn't show the gray screen it has the white screen with the android skating on the bottom, it doesn't give me the option to flash the dreaimg.nbh file
thanks for your input though

find a non rooted cupcake 1.5 file then rename to update.zip and flash it in recovery then apply the dreaming rc29 file

If you're gonna flash a 1.5 cupcake update, than you shouldn't need to downgrade to RC29 w/ DREAIMG.nbh, you should be able to use flashrec to flash cyanogen's recovery image from CRB43 or CRC1

Sorry, sounded like he just wanted to get root, and I know from experience 1click dosn't work in 1.6, however after testing 1.6 I was able to use DREAIMG.nbh, to downgrade and regain root, just offering up suggestions

well i guess you should try to downgrade to 1.5 then do 1 click root if you want but i would suggest the long way

I'm using a HardSPL and I just loaded put DREAIMG.nbh on a sdcard and booted up using camera+power and it seemed to load my file fine Pasing....[DREAIMG.nbh] etc, etc, etc, the you can press action to start the update, did you format your sdcard to fat32, unzip file and place DREAIMG.nbh on the root of the card spelled that way???
If that still isn't working you may be able to use a cupcake update.zip file and boot into recovery with home+power to apply the update zip and try using FlashRec from their, any of the 1 click method guides in this forum could explain that in a little more detail

ok guys i finally got it to work, thank for you help!!

Hi you can visit my site.. i have posted step by step instructions to root any android device running firmware 1.5 and above
since xda wont allow me to post a link type "ajknowsitall . webs . com" without any space

Noob Help about rooting please?

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.

[Q] Dowgrade FRG83d to FRG83

I updated my N1 from FRG83 to FRG83d manually few days ago and wondering if I can downgrade to FRG83 or even FRF91? There is not much to it than I just like to get the firmware downloaded through OTA. Just curious!
Thanks in advance!

Back up your apps in Titanium, then flash one of the images from here: http://developer.htc.com/ and you are essentially downgraded!

I have a stock N1, but since 2.2 backs up all my apps and reinstalls, I am not worried much. But will I just be able to download the zip file rename as update.zip and install manually? Also, will I get all the Google services along with the zip file?
Thanks for the response.

Try the FRG33 passimg from shipped-roms.

Download it to the root of your sdcard, rename it to PASSIMG.zip, and install. It will flash all the partitions on your device back to stock. It's a stock image...

It didn't work! When I booted to recovery I saw it was loading PASSIMG.zip and it verified but after reboot, it still says FRG83D!

Strange. Which one did you use? Try this one: http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/signed-passion-img-FRG83_0923.zip
Maybe try renaming it as update.zip instead of PASSIMG.zip.
If that doesn't work, I'll give you another suggestion.

Yes, that's the one I used! And please don't get me wrong but I use this phone for my work and is important that I don't screw the phone. Is there a tested solution to downgrade? So I can follow steps without damaging the phone?

Check it's not a zip within a zip
Edit: I can give you a 100% tested (by me) downgrade solution. Unlock the bootloader, download FRF91 from http://developer.htc.com and use fastboot to flash system.img and boot.img

You will certainly not damage your phone by doing that, so don't worry. Rename it to update.zip and try again.

Exactly...

PASSIMG no longer seem to work on the 0.35 bootloader...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

As he did a manual update, I've assumed he's still on 0.33

Looks like this is yet to be achieved. passimg.zip of FRG33 says main version is older and 'update failed!' error.
Any other leads guys? Mine is a replaced Nexus One and it has FRG83D on it. I want to downgrade and then root. Help much appreciated!

Why do you need to downgrade? Why not keep FRG83D and just root it??

I just replied on another thread. Hope copy pasting it won't bother the mod!
I have a Mac and I and I am at work. I thought an 'all online' version exists already! VISIONary seems to be a good solution for < FRG83D but not 83D. Any other ideas?

Z4root maybe?

Nexus One not on compatible phone list. This one guy had errors on N1 based on the replies. FRG83D is forcing me to consider the good old ADB route!

I've heard mixed results...

That does not work with any build higher than FRF91...

[Q] AT&T Nexus 6 5.0 -> 5.1, will I lose root?

All,
I just got prompted by AT&T to install the 5.1 update and while I want it right now my phone is working near perfectly and I use a number of root needed applications. Before I do the upgrade I want to know if this will cause me to lose root and if so how easy it is to get it back? Right now I'd definitely pick root over 5.1
Searched but couldn't find an answer so sorry if I missed a thread on it already...

you have root, you wont be able to update via ota. any kind of system file changes prevents you upating via ota.

Ah, ok - so even if I'm being prompted you're saying that it will fail? I'm not running a custom ROM or anything just rooted. Just clarifying as it is prompting me to update.
So to update would I then need to go through the process manually? I'm sure there's a thread somewhere so I can find that, just making sure I understand...

Loads of threads. Search "update losing data" or something.
But in short, just fastboot flash system.img and boot.img and not userdata.img
