Depends. Do you want a rooted or non-rooted.
If you want rooted do you want stable or experimental?
If you want non-rooted then it's 1.6.
If you want a stable rooted then use CM-5.0.8.
If you want to try an experimental then try CM-6.0.0-RC2.
If you want a list of rooted roms look here.

Can't find the link? Try looking!
thank you very much, but ive found links to 1.6, but none of them work when trying to have them opened and flashed on my g1, i went to the newest rooted rom, but i think its rather slow, and would rather have the non rooted 1.6
Download DREAIMG.NBH from anywhere and wait for the phone to automatically say "an update is available" or you can download cupcake 1.5 then the 1.6 patch.
JUST GOOGLE IT!!!!!!
lol ive googled it! and have found liek 30 links of the 1.6 update, but they dont work!
What do you mean they don't work? Your phone is rooted, right? Then download any software from here (it does not have to be official 1.6 update, I suggest Dwang as a fastest G1 software I've seen) and flash it through recovery (remember to wipe first). It's really simple and I don't know how it might not work.
im saying, like if i unroot, and go back to stock and start from 1.0, and then i find one of the links on the internet that is the 1.6 donut update, while flashing, it will say theres a error and missing like x number of files and not work.
But i see what your saying thank you

I had the latest (non beta) cyanogen mod installed, and I downloaded a theme (marks or something) via the CM Updater after the reboot the phone was screwed.. stock on the "G1" screen..
I had to flash back to RC29 and have manually updated back up to "cupcake"
but when I try to update to 1.6 I cant.. error..
Ive tried downloading what is supposed to be the correct file. (signed-kila-DRC83-from-CRC1.c41b93c1.zip)
from several different places.. no joy.
Im wondering if (eventually) it will automatically update.. ??
Firmware 1.5
Build CRB43
and No, I do not want another modded rom, it was fun to play with, but Im over it.

So you tried to re-root?
You were suppose to flash the cyan rom again.
I think you lose root by flashing the RC29 which you werent suppose to do.
It will auto update soon.
Actually yup that RC thingy takes root away..
I could care less if I have root. I just want it stock and up to date.

As i said you will get a OTA in a couple of days..Not sure exactly but server will notice your phone has 1.5 so will send update soon.
Ok so im trying to install froyo 2.2 and this is the page im doing it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686627
So i have a nexus one with the Htc Desire Software on it and i didnt know which one should i download so i picked the tweaked version and this is what i did i wipe it then flashed the zip and it just froze on the unlock symbol in the beginning so i had to reflash the Desire rom i had before which works so can someone please help me out thanks in advanced i think i did something wrong.
The files Cyan posted are NOT Froyo. What he posted are the files to get ROOT on an existing install of Froyo. Look for the FRF50 thread posted by paulobrien, flash that first,then flash the files by Cyan.

Paul has an already rooted version of the rom without the radio update i believe. he shouldn't need to flash cyan's mod. unless he wants the kernel tweaks.
I was having random reboots with it so i went to paul, no reboots so far. =)
(i think it had something to do with setcpu, my cpu settings were 1113 and i dont think the cpu was supposed to go to that frequency so that may be why it was acting up.)
so what am i soppose to do?
Go to this page:
http://android.modaco.com/content/g...ed-update-zip-no-radio-option-online-kitchen/
It's pretty self explanatory but you can flash either FroYo with or without the radio update.
Here's a basic tutorial I wrote up with all files needed to update to froyo... Enjoy! Working 100% if you follow instructions as listed (haven't heard of an issue from others yet that tried it this way)
thanks man that worked i have one little problem how can u check if u have flash bcuz i try and see a video and sometimes it says u need an update so...

look up adobe in the market and download flash beta... it shows up for anyone using 2.2 (froyo)
First off, I have an HTC Tattoo. I ran the update from the HTC website which updates the firmare. I assumed wrongly that HTC were finally updating from 1.6 to 2.1. I now have the updated Orange 1.6 installed in my Tattoo.
None of the rooting files or instructions work. I cannot roll back the firmware either and update............ I would really like to get 2.1 installed into my handset but I have tried for almost 1 week now with EVERY method I can find but still keep getting either no space errors or some other annoying text...........
I would appreciate any help with this. Please dont flame me or tell me to go and read another page on these forums about how to root my phone. I can assure you I have been on them all and I have read them all, and I do mean them ALL............... None of them work with this updated ROM image.
Firmware 1.6
Baseband 13.29a.55.13H_3.35.07.35
Kernel 2.6.29-g6561203 ([email protected]#133)
Build 1.67.61.43 CL#97826 release-keys
Software Version 1.67.61.43
To rollback, you have to create a goldcard and install the latest official RUU
follow this guide:

Aha! Must be the problem I was having! Thanks for the info.

Where did u get that option? Eather theres some section I cant find, or I dont have such an oportunity....
OK, I managed to get it flashed now to Android 2.1 after much head banging and crying............... for some reason it worked this time. Not sure what I did differently but it now has 2.1 on it. Not the most stable of systems especially when you use the live wallpapers but if u ignore these then it works very well..........
In the end I had to flash to 1.67.405.6 WWE then apply root and the the 2.1 file but at least I have it now...........
Nice! Now, I think this 3d should be closed..
Is Cyanogenmod the only Froyo option for the CDMA Hero? I'm thinking of upgrading from the Sprint 2.1 firmware. I have several questions:
Really Important:
Can I downgrade to the original Sprint 2.1 firmware without breaking anything? I really don't want an expensive phone-shaped paperweight if anything goes wrong.
Can I keep the HTC sense UI (I only want the main menu dialer anyway)? I saw that thread saying Sense 2.2 is about 85% done.
Somewhat Important:
Can I install the wifi tethering app on 2.2 Cyanogenmod?
Does Sprint notice if you tether and cut you off?
Do I have to root my phone?
Isn't giving root to potentially malicious apps a bad idea?
Is giving root on a per-request basis?
Can I remove the stupid Sprint boot animation?

You are already on stock firmware. Do you mean if you go to CM6 can you go back to the stock firmware of 2.1?
Can I keep the HTC sense UI (I only want the main menu dialer anyway)? I saw that thread saying Sense 2.2 is about 85% done? the Froyo rom yo usaw is the wildfire port and its in major alpha form right now. There is no fully operational Froyo sense rom for the hero yet
Somewhat Important:
Can I install the wifi tethering app on 2.2 Cyanogenmod? YES im using it right now
Does Sprint notice if you tether and cut you off? NO there is no way for them to see yo u have root and are using it
Do I have to root my phone? YES in order to go to CM6 or any custom rom you need to. ALong with wireless teething
Isn't giving root to potentially malicious apps a bad idea? Of course there is always a risk for anything. Thats why you nandroid before installing anything or before making setting changes.
Is giving root on a per-request basis? YES..superuser will pop up asking for request for any app that asks for request..you can allow or deny
Can I remove the stupid Sprint boot animation?YES, Cyanogenmod CM6 removes the sprint boot logo with e android cyanogen mod one.

And you can All you'd have to do is RUU
If all you want from Sense is the dialer, there is always Dialer One on the Market. I have been running more AOSP-based ROMs than I ever really ran Sense, so when I finally got bored with the stock dialer and gave it a shot, I didn't even notice it was supposed to replicate the Sense dialer, ha. It's a hell of a lot more customizable, and I think it's much "cleaner" looking overall (especially if you have it set to hide the green dial button in the contact list, and NOT have the keypad when the dialer is open by default, and taking up at least half the screen).
That Wildfire port is old. This is the current ongoing 2.2 Sense port, if you're into that sort of thing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834840
Okay, that was exactly what I needed to know, thank you. After reviewing the various pages, are these the correct steps to get 2.2 Cyanogenmod up and running?
Root phone
Backup apps/SMS, etc.
Backup using nandroid
Revert to the 2.1 .5 (NOT .6 or .7) firmware
Flash Cyanogenmod
Restore app/SMS backups
Install GApps, Sprint Apps, Sense port (as needed)

Yes, the Hero really can't install full Flash 10.1 because the default specs just won't handle Flash. Supposedly its possible with some overclocking and/or JIT enabled, but even then most ppl say it's not perfect.
We can install a Flash Lite plugin to browsers....try searching for that either on the market or through Google.

Threadjackers.
I still have the same phone, a year later, and I would love an answer... However, I updated to build
Code:
2.31.651.7 CL258838 release-keys
and baseband
Code:
2.42.01.04.27
Can I use the RUU method and root or would I have to completely reset to Sprint's 2.1 and lose everything? Thanks for putting up with my questions.

You can root with .7. I used Regaw's last time I did after an ruu to .7 build. There are great Gingerbread roms now. Aosp flavored like Jaybob's Rom which has the newest .35 kernel baked in; cm7 has begun using that kernel in their builds as well ( although it might not be the newest yet). You can download titanium backup to back up apps and data (sms too). Just follow the directions in the op of whatever Rom you are looking to install.

It worked! That was nice and painless, just don't have your Hero plugged into a USB hub with a dodgy cord like I did. I'm going to go and disable OTA updates as described in the old tutorial. Should I install Cyanogenmod or aosp? It looks like some of the Hero wiki links are pretty dated now, and the only aosp 2.3 link is to a 2.3 aosp labeled unstable and the thread mentioning that the dev quit working on it. I'd love a recommendation on how to get a stable 2.3 install running, I mostly want Exchange sync and tethering.
Id reccomend jaybob rom or kush I'd say jaybob since he still does update from time to time both r still awesome

I was gonna root my HTC G1, so I downgraded it from 1.6 to 1.0, but now I changed my mind and I wanna go back to 1.6.
I searched google but couldn't find a guide to do it. Can somebody refer to me one?

You can find the stock 1.5/1.6 ROMs via google, you just flash them via recovery. You may need to go to 1.5 and then 1.6.
