[Q] ADP1 (G1) Upgrade Help Please! - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Im new to the android OS and i am really wanting to install a custom rom on the g1 i just received from ebay but i did not expect to get a dev phone so i am wandering the main differences between how i would go about installing a custom rom? I believe it is hardware unlocked? I have seen most of the beginners threads and what im worried about is the fact that if i flash my adp1 it may become a normal G1 or something. Anyone give me the low down on if i still need to root this phone or anything?
FW: 1.6
Build: dream_devphone-userdebug 1.6 DRC83 14721 test-keys
Much Appreciated!

[Q] Question about build number, updates

Hello folks. I have a question about build numbers. I keep reading about FRF91, FRG83, FRG33, etc. builds. How can I find out what build I have. I recently bought a Nexus One in Vietnam, seems to be korean version (it has korean keyboard installed, manual is in korean). When I go to Settings -> About phone, I don't see any FRG, FRF, EPE, or whatever, just a long number. For the sake of completeness, here is what I get:
Android version:
2.2
Baseband version
32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Kernel version
2.6.32.9-27227-g3c98b0d
haleyATm4-dev#1
Build number
2.15.1010.2 CL203557 release-keys
I already rooted and unlocked the phone, installed recovery image Amon_Ra's 1.8.0.1 (suitable for SLCD screen) but now I'm stuck. Don't know what updates would work (2.2.1? which images I need for my build version, etc.)
Please help - I know it may sound like a dumb question, and I tried to google for an answer and search the forum, but everyone's About phone screen seems to show something like FRF91 or somesuch, not the number I get above. Thanks!
The Korean build for FRF91 has a different build number... Passion_KT_KR_2.15.1010.2_FRF91
So, you have the FRF91 build customized for the Korean N1

Thanks a lot, I was trying to find out for days
So I checked on shipped-roms, and the name for my stock rom is PASSIMG_Passion_KT_KR_2.15.1010.2_FRF91_release_signed.zip - am I correct? Are there any disadvantages for having this (apart from having an uninstallable korean keyboard)? Do I receive updates more slowly? Do you have any advice for me - my last question(s) I promise Thanks a lot for your help...
Well, yes, PASSIMG_Passion_KT_KR_2.15.1010.2_FRF91_release_signed.zip is the stock ROM which is on ur phone. Regarding update frequency, it's possible updates may be delayed by KT (Korea Telecom), but I can't say for certain.
Thanks - at least now I know exactly what I have
One more thing that's not clear, I've read conflicting report about this: OTA upgrades through WIFI. Google says sure, it works, but I read a letter received by a user from HTC that said the opposite. Anyway, in case I can update through wifi, who releases the updates? I don't live in Korea, I'm on a Vietnamese network. If Korea Telecom releases an update, how would that reach my phone? It's all so confusing. Forgive me for my questions, I'm new to Android.

Hello,
I just got the G1, and it has 1.1 installed.
It is RC33, 62.33.20.08H_1.22.14.11.
I want to install Donut on the mobile. Do I have to change/install anything else (spl/radio..), or I just need to download signed-kila-DRC83-from-CRC1.c41b93c1.zip and flash ?
Thanks in advance.

Market problem!! Please help

I tried to search before posting, but I couldnt find a easy helpful answer. My market all of a sudden started showing me this msg: "Warning: Your device may not be compatible with android market. Contact your device manufacturer for more information." Restarted phone, same thing. Cleared market cache, same thing. Uninstalled update, same thing, (except now I'm in old market version). And my market programs are all wierd, like they've been build by 1st graders. No good popula apps or games. I am stuck. PEASE HELP!!!

[Q] Cap bought from AT&T rep, FroYo 2.2 on it, Official Froyo or not.

So I buy and sell phones, unlock them first etc then resell. I got one today from an AT&T rep, which he didn't tell me, I found out by other means. I am just curious if maybe ATT exmployees could have access to an official FroYo 2.2 update that we consumers don't, so I figured I'd post the info form about phone here. Also, if he knew how to flash romsm why the glitchy horrid unofficial version and not some cool amazing rom based on froyo from XDA ? It may be nothing but the un official update. Anyone who might know how to verify more or whatever, let me know. I want to know before I sell it up the river
