Question about Rooting Cupcake

I have seen this question plastered all over the board, but no one has "officially" answered it. There have been a "it should", "it might", "maybe it will". I don't need those type of answers lol. My question is, has anyone officially and successfully rooted the official cupcake OTA. I had root on my last G1 and had to send it back due to some issues. So I have a complete fresh G1 that was already updated to Cupcake OTA so there isn't an option for me to use Fast Boot. I am on the latest version of the radio release 2.22.19.26I. If I downgrade to RC29 using the old school method, will I run into any problems. Please only reply if you have already done this yourself. Dont need any maybes lol don't know if Tmobile will give me another G1.
Firmware: 1.5 official Cupcake
Radio: 2.22.19.26I
Build: CRB43
Thanks for any assistance.
Oh and I have used the search buttons with no results.

Did it last week with a 1.5 OTA.
And the how to root thread is full of people saying that they successfully downgraded and rooted their 1.5 OTA phones, so you didn't look very hard.

Thanks for your $.02...
Going to go root right now.

Wrong Radio

Hey there sorry for opening a new Thread but i found nowhere something about my problem... I have my G1 since it's released and i noticed that something is wrong with it. After updating to Cupcake (no root) i noticed that the Radio (Baseband) version is wrong. It should be 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I but it is 62.33.20.08U_1.22.12.29.
Here is what my phone says:
Model number
T-Mobile G1
-----------------------------
Firmware version
1.5
-----------------------------
Basband version
62.33.20.08U_1.22.12.29
-----------------------------
Kernel version
2.6.27-00393-g6607056
[email protected]#1
-----------------------------
Build number
CRC1
Please help me! I don't know what to do! Should I go to T-Mobile?

Woah, that's pretty weird. I assume you're unrooted? Otherwise you could just flash this

yeah it's unrooted. I tried to root it with the Goldcard method (So I don't have to change the SPL) to see if i get the right Radio after rooting it but it was still the same. Nothing changed. I had the wrong Radio on the official Build than I rooted it, installed the Radio, installed Dude's Cupcake and it was still the same. Now I'm back on the official Build and nothing changed. I thing about going to T-Mobile tomorrow...

asking for help with rooting.

so I have tired everything so please don't tell me to go google it or link me to the how to.
I have a CANADIAN HTC Dream so I'm going to make this as detalied as I can. my goal is to install a custom ROM.
So the info:
Model number: HTC Dream
Firmware version: 1.5
Baseband version: 62.52s.20.18u_3.22.20.17
Build number: 1.85.631.5 146733 CL#33863
I don't know if you need all that.
so what I have tried so far is:
the one click root method when I try it it wont boot into the recovery mode I tried multiple times.
I tired your manual method but when I go to the downgrade step it tells me model ID incorrect! then update failed.
so how can I root the thing like I said I have (now) tried everything I could find.

Have you tried this method? it is the way to root rogers phones, i assume you have rogers.

Have you checked it via the goldcard way?
if not chek my sig

Hmm wow, seems like the manufactures are making it harder and harder to root... I am so glad I have the original G1 now

Or, just wait a week or two for the official release of Froyo.

Is that what we are talking about? One or two weeks?
Flashing the rom is not that big of a deal, was concerned about unlocking the bootloader for AT&T and what was required to do it. Didn't want to make a mistake and have a $500 paperweight
Still not sure where to go or what to download after reading the stickies about AT&T to unlock the bootloader before the flash.

when I got my phone 3 weeks ago, they said 1 or 2 weeks then also, lol....
I have the same type phone att/rogers. I did this then this (thx Jack)

I followed both of those to the T and it all worked out, once or twice i had a problem or 2.... but I just renamed the recovery image and it worked..... and something else, over all... for a noob, I did pretty good, lol. Very glad I did, sooooo much faster, smoother and flash support

No rooting needed if you use the "originally" leaked FRF50 build .. just download to the phone and run the update.
You may use google to search for the file and the instructions
Good luck!
Edit: sorry, just realized you have an AT&T one. So, you may need to root. My one I got directly from Google and it does not need to be rooted.

Update converted HTC One GPe to 5.0.1

Hello,
I converted my HTC One with Sense 5-Android 4.4.2 to a HTC One GPe with Android 4.4.3 rooting and flashing it. Everything worked fine and my next goal was to update the phone to Stock Android 5.0.1. I was reading a lot of posts about the process to "officialize" my phone, and basically I followed the instructions of "The Wolf Paulus' journal - HTC One M7 gets Lollypop – and here is how" post.
This process was a partial success. I installed the Stock Recovery (instead TWRP 2.8.X, which I installed in order to flash the phone) and changed the CID to GOOGL001 like the post said, but when I tried to install the "update.zip" file with the Stock Recovery, the installation was aborted.
Finally I rebooted my HTC and surprisingly, the phone "saw" the OTA Update to Android 4.4.4, so I went ahead and the update process was completed without problems. I was very happy because I thought that, as the phone had seen the 4.4.4 OTA Update, it should see also the 5.0.1 OTA Update... But actually it don't see it.
After that, I tried to repeat the process installing the update from the Stock Recovery, but every time I try, the installation is aborted, so I don't know what to do. The phone works really fine with 4.4.4 but I would like to update to take advantage of the new characteristics of Android. I really appreciate some kind of help here.
The phone information is:
Model Number: HTC One
Android Version: 4.4.4
Baseband Version: 4A.22.3263.03_10.38n.1157.04L
Kernel Version: 3.4.10-gef77362

If your phone is S-OFF then you could just use the 5.0.1 GPE RUU to flash it to the latest version and it will be 100% stock, no need to mess with recovery flashing etc.
That RUU and instructions how to flash it can be found in the HTC One Android Development sub-forum.

Ok, thanks a lot! But only one question, if I flash the 5.0.1 GPE RUU, will I be able to update the phone via OTA in the future?
Again thanks a lot.

Like I said, your phone will be 100% stock after using the RUU so no problem with OTA updates.

Success!

For the record, I flashed the RUU posted by graffitix and I totally worked, so, I'm on Android Lollipop 5.0.1 for HTC One GPe. Thanks a lot for the help.
