G1 Help - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought a G1 phone off ebay, i believe its running Super G 1.6 firmware, is this worth updating?, if so how would i do that? and would it affect the phone as it is unlocked, would it return it to being locked to T Mobile?
Thanks

wrong section.
it will stay unlocked.
there are several how to to install newer roms.
for me i always upgrade to newer custom roms..

Thanks, im new to this, is there any you recommend to upgrade to?

Cyanogen 5.0.8 is a good place to start. http://www.cyanogenmod.com

Super G? = Super Gingerbread?
Very excited to see that one

Requesting a thread move, this is the wrong section please read the rules and sections BEFORE posting next time.
Super G isn't even out yet :|(doubt we'll get it anyways until a long time of optimizations/not even out yet)

in need of a new Hero ROM for G1 that is fast and still being worked on?

The one I use is no longer being updated and my bluetooth not working so I am in need of a good popular HERO ROM for G1.
This is not the right section.
If you have a look through the posts here with the prefix [ROM] title... etc
then you will find something that you like im sure.
You might like the look of this one.

Oh and do a little research first of all, people will probably ask you to post these type of questions in the Dream Q&A section first of all and do a little home work.
indeed.. Q&A friend...
But to answer the question. Jacs hero is still being worked on and its lightning fast.

Edit/Delete Message
wow, people really dont understand the concept of a search button or posting in the correct place... MAYBE all the devs and people with dev-esque questions should move to the Q&A forums and post there but keep this labeled development to throw there r-tards off?
Sorry but this is in the wrong section and a horrible question. First of all, EVERY hero rom is still being worked on and second, every rom seems to respond differently to different g1's. It's all about trial and error. Flash one see what you think......and for the love of god SEARCH!!!
1. There is a Q&A thread. Ask your questions there.
2. There are MANY Hero ROMs. All are currently being worked on.
3. Search next time.
This is your first warning.

and go to his wiki it will tell you how if you have the g1 from google is is all ready root
wow ! This is a record ! 20 mins and no one has bashed the starter of this thread? Lmao !
Its all good though man.. just read up on ROOT, SPLS and Requirements.. if you read the guide on how to root your phone, you SHOULD be up and running the latest cyanogen mod rom within the next half an hour.. be sure to READ the directions carefully.. and if your not sure about something, scroll through some of the posts in the thread.. 9 xs out of 10 someone has asked your question, and has received an answer... if there are too many pages to read, like let's say maybe 40 or more, jus go to google, and search for your problem.. this site plus some others may pop up and offer you some help.. good luck and welcome to the community !

Nexus one EPF30 to 2.2

Hi guys, i am new to the whole Android scene, i owned a pulse, and rooted and installed a custom ROM on that...so i have some Android experience.
I have a EPF30 Nexus one build and i cant update from the official google download, i have heard that it should work on any build, but people say only ERE27
I don't want to unlock the bootloader if i don't have to...
But how can i get 2.2?
Any help would be great thanks...

[Q] Do I need root?

Hey all,
I am in the N900A NC2 4.4.2 boat and I want out!
Do we really need root to install a different ROM?
Can't we push somehow e.g. CM on the phone using Odin, or something?
I just want to make my Note 3 livable till Nexus 6 comes out
~S
I sometimes wonder why the search function even exists...
Yes you need root access to install custom roms via safestrap.
You need an unlocked bootloader to install a custom recovery and flash roms.
The latest 4.4.2 release ending with NC2 has a locked bootloader and does not have root access. Currently there is no way to obtain it.
Please follow forum rules and search before posting a question that has probably been answered. Try reading the general section and the sticked posts. One's like "[INDEX] AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 All-In-One Resource Thread!" might be able to help with unanswered questions. If you still can't find your answers and it's support related, please post a question in the stupid question threads. They are in most sections. This is a development site, not a support site.

[Q] do you think it's possible to flash...

I know this is not the Q&A thread. Don't shoot me. But i figured this was a dev question. Does anybody think or have tried flashing the stock droid ultra ROM to the moto x since they are VERY SIMILAR phones? Is it possible? Can it be done? Has anybody tried? If not and I was to try it do you think I can flash stock moto x IMG files back to normal? Or will i fubar my bootloader. Running Moto x Dev edit Verizon. These are questions that have been running through my head. Just thought I might ask. And is anybody willing to help me look into it? Thank you for taking the time to read and reply.

Very similar is never close enough. Any ROM for a different phone will not work for a different device. Some exploit methods work on multiple devices but never Roms and kernals.

I only asked cause if cm11 pac-rom etc could do it maybe we could. Thanks for answering though. It was worth a shot. I just miss my droid ultra?
They are the same phone in almost every way and yes the builds are compatible, or at least the 4.2.2 and 4.4 builds were last year. When the leaked T-Mobile 4.4 build came out, I was running it perfect on my vzw moto x DE and at least one other person was running it on their droid ultra/maxx with no issues.
So your question for the devs was just answered by non devs. If you KNEW you were posting in the wrong thread, but wanted to make sure you got noticed please follow the rules next time. It's not like you didn't know this does not belong here.
Only try this if you have an unlocked boot loader. If you are locked then you are out of luck. Still recommend finding a build for your phone.

i posted here thinking maybe devs have already tried it and/or have a workaround for it. i'm not going to start a fight with you over the internet cause thats just petty.
Moved here as this does not belong in the Development Section, OP please read the Forum Rules on posting.
