[Solved]Cupcake 1.5 Downgrade?

Hello Kinda newbie question, maybe not? not to sure im new at this forum but ive heard great reviews of the knowledge of the members, i have a particular question ive looked around, but couldnt find anything on Downgrading the cupcake 1.5 back to stock or RC30, i mean is this possible by any means, im actually wondering because i wouldnt mind flashing the new HERO ROM on my G1 looks really interesting, if anyone knows anything or share their own thoughts that would be awesome!!

Once you have rooted your phone, you can flash to any rooted ROM... RC33, ADP1, Cupcake 1.5, Hero, etc

does it matter if i am already running the CRB43 build?

Sorry, missed where you said "stock" in the first message. So do you want to unroot and go back to the official software? In that case, flash the DREAIMG.NBH file again, then wait for the OTA update.
If that's not what you want.. Clarify, I'm confused.

well i was able to flash the phone back to RC29 i was rooting the phone but i stupid ass loads the new SPL that was for the HERO rom and now the phone is officially bricked no recovery mode or rainbow screen haha..!! fudge!...im thking of going to the tmobile store and just say i accidentally dropped it and phone shut off and when i turned it on it was stuck??? i did pre order the mytouch...but yeah man last night turned out to be a disaster now im stuck with a blackberry pearl for now lol.. thanks tho at least we learn from out mistakes

You can also try playing dumb and just say that there was a new update available and you hit OK, then the screen went blank and now it won't turn back on...

haha yeah thats actually a good one..but the phone stuck on the TmobileG1 splash, the is still under warranty so im thinking it would cover it..i got it 2 months ago i believe

Good luck with it, most people seem to be able to get a new phone.
There's also an entire thread about this just a few under yours: Lying to T-Mobile to Get Bricked G1 Fixed or something like that...

yeah true...i do wonder but i dont think so...everyone usually gets their share i mean..like i bring in my dead phone, theres usually a factory warranty HTC covers the damage, tmobile loses nothing since most likely they get credited for the Returned Mechandise, if its a bricked phone HTC, theyll most likely flash the chipset via Jtag or something u know...kinda crazy in a way cause what do you think might happen if there was no factory warranty

Update!
they are sending me a brand new one lol! hopefully i dont fudge this one up!

[Q] why does my firmware still say 2.2 after using odin one click

i used the odin one click program to flash back to stock firmware...but after it was completed it still says im running froyo???
What do i need to do?

depends on which one click you used. there is one for Froyo JI6 and there is one for ECLAIR JF6

i guess i used the wrong one, is there anyway you could get me link or can i just search for it?

I was too, got this phone two weeks after release. But you know what, I read everything I could before I started flashing so if the unheard of happened I knew how to fix it. I think that is what most of us are getting at.
Sorry if I sound a bit miffed.

It is a lot to take in, but it really is in you and your phones best interest that you read it all. Nobody wants a $500 (out of contract) / $200 (in contract) paperweight.

Hell, the cappy is so light that it wouldn't even work well as a paperweight. Unless it's just one piece of paper it was holding down.

[Q] Help Needed BIG time

Hey everyone
Ive just gone to install serendipidys rom onto my galaxy, looked at instructions downloaded odin off there site via the link
went to install and now it loops At&t load screen then loops. ive now realised there odin link was for captivate.
i cant seem to get download back on and well im stuck.
any help be massively appreciated
Many thanks

wish i could post in dev page would help haha. cant be first person to do this can i :S

anyone, this is a emergency - ive tried google and looking through here but dont know were to start lol . or is there a way i can totally brick it as im in my 28days lol so can take back just the at&t looks a bit suspect lol

Not entirely sure but can you get into the 3 button download mode? (Guide in general section). Also posting in the dev section will not help as that section is for developers not for questions about phone problems.

If you know about JIG/JTAG so you supposed to know that's the only way in your case, no miracle, sorry.
Hope you sort it out that way, GL.

well i was hoping there was some other way of doing it to this. as seems results are scattered. y i posted here.
well thanks anyway

If it's truly an emergency you could try the heat trick, although jig will be infinitely safer.

The heat trick is a legend...made by ppl who actually have not really bricked or semi-bricked their phones (just a lucky coincidence). He'll only manage to kill his phone for real.

kinda reminds me of the old xbox has broken heat trick. if it did work i think the life of my fone would be shortened. it seems to have totally died now (guess coz cant charge) so im going to have a my fones stopped working chat. i think im still in the 28 days so hopefully they will just replace it. thanks all for the help
and sorry if seemed fussy - i know its my fault but there has always been some kind of software fix with my old htc's guess i rid on hope lol

I seem to be getting that impression too. on a worse case with any of my HTC phones i ever had i could do something to get it working. and i have had some **** ups happen. this was a stupid mistake and im sure on a forum where we have oms posted for both i cant be the first person to click the wrong one as im getting the idea they are simular but hey its a brick now. so carphonewarehouse i go. and just hope they cant switch it on and see the at&t screen lmao.

I had a similar result a couple of weeks back after trying to flash hardcore's speedmod kernel CWM version in Odin - not very sensible...
Couldn't get into download mode at all. After panicking for a couple of hours, I removed the battery for 2 hours, reinserted it and all was good - i.e., got download mode back.
Worth a try, you're not going to make it any worse. Hopefully... Good luck.

two things:
1) there isn't a CWM available for GB yet
2) do you *really* think development was the place to post this? as it is a question and we have a section labeled "questions and answers"

Wasnt sure as there isn't a q&a for gb, but was directly rom related. I have no problem with mods moving. I actually wish they would help decide this for future posters.

Thanks for quick response.

i think its totally funny seeing smartass replies from supposed "senior" members. there no reason for it at all. i'm pretty sure some people just have really, really low self esteem and not many friends. Mommy doesn't count either. if you ever need any advice man just pm me and you won't have to deal with the bs. XDA is all about helping. thats exactly the point of it. good luck.

I appreciate that. I may end up doing that before I finally up on a GB rom.
I'm not upset about ^^. I understand his pov. I just ask he understands mine. It's kind of a grey area until a Q&A sticky is made for GB, or we start having roms appear in dev. However he did answer my question, to which I expressed my thanks, as I do to you.

He was asking about GB ROM. We all flash at our own risk. I thought it was easier to flash Continum than when I first tried CM7. Thank goodness I bought a JIG. I have to admit that since I have the GB bootloaders now, I am slightly nervous to one click back to stock.

1)Not that new, just asking questions.
2) I've already flashed JVB, Juwe's, and finally C5 (b1,b2 and b3).
3) I, as do everyone else here, appreciate your help. However, please don't assume you know someones ability level, without asking. I realise I am not able to develop a rom our kernel. But I have read and experienced enough through this website to know that 20 questions before is better then "oh crap I bricked my phone now what".

[Q] My tab is bricked.{lease help.

hye,im just flashing my tab yesterday with overcome rom.then i started with odin after it finished odin shows FAILED! then my phone turned off automatically leave the screen blanked.now i can't do anything to the phone even if want to enter the downloading mode.there is nothing i can do and just leave the screen blank.is there any help for me?i'm seriously pissed off.please help me.

sorry but 50 viewers and still no help?

Did you do a backup beforehand? If so, restore it. If not, i would get another Rom and try again.
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using XDA Premium App

no i didnt have any backup.what do u mean by getting another rom?im stuck with the blank screen and can't do nothing now.

Try shuttig it off, charging the battery, put in download mode (even if you only see a black screen some people have reported they can flash) and install your stock or another rom. If this doesn't work, you're screwed...
If you didn't check and see if you had locked bootloaders then this may have caused the fail in ODIN...

There is plenty of help if you look for it. People tend to get sick of repeating themselves so its best to read the topics that have already been created on this exact issue.
Using search function and searching topic titles for "bricked" will give you plenty of help.

Guys, don't derail another thread with this pety stuff... The kid needs help and is panicking, and we can't prevent noobs from flashing, so we can 1) tell them the answer (if we know it) our 2) show them how to find it.

I explained that there is already info on this exact subject and it would be much more beneficial to him if he searched for it, not only would he learn something along the way but he wil find much better info then he would in this topic.
Im not the only person who feels this way, Its just that im one of teh few who makes it known.

If it responds to no button combos or to charging, the TAB is hard bricked. I can still fix this with JTAG if needed. Just PM me...
