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?
Thanks

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.

So i went back to the stock version and i want to update my phone back to 1.6 but as you all know i cant go straight to that. i have looked everywhere to find the updates and i cant find any. i have been waiting all day and i havent gotten any update from ota. so i need your help. thanks. ps im on verson 1.0 and rc29 if that helps any of you. thanks again!
I do not know if there is an update.zip for 1.6 yet, but you can search for one for 1.5 and upgrade to it. I would get you a link but i am using my phone at work to post.

Just go back to rc29 then upgrade to 1.5 then open up market and look for it. Lmk if it works.

Just flash the nbh file and wait for the update.

if you want to root, flash the nbh, and use flash rec.... it works on RC29
i wouldnt recommend you do it since judging from the op you have no idea what your doing

Do you mean unroot?
If you want to unroot from RC29 - wait for the OTA (Over the Air) update. The OTA will remove root.
If you wanted to go back to a ROM (like Hero, because it uses 1.5) you'll need to upgrade to from RC29.
If you just want to remove root, keep the RC29 and wait for an OTA update to be pushed to your phone.
ohhh okay so i upgrade to cupcake if i want hero from rc29..and i need to root before the ota update to 1.6 is that right?

Yes. Cupcake is 1.5, which is required for Hero to run. Also, if you decide to run a Hero ROM, make sure you have the appropriate SPL and Radio.
and i need to root before the ota update to 1.6 is that right?

If you root before the OTA, you will not receive an OTA. To go back to stock, don't touch the phone (in the sense that don't flash any ROMs) after your at RC29. When at RC29, you will be getting an update from T-Mobile to update (which will remove root).
sorry if im annoyying u aka lol i want to root and im at rc29 right now. i have to get to 1.5 to root right? and to get to 1.5 do i wait for an ota or manually update it myself?
okay wait im on 1.5 and i downloaded the flashrec prog like in the guide and the recovery file and downloaded the flashrec and typed in the /sdcard/recovery-ra-dream-v1.5.3.img and see nothing that says download custom recovery image. i am on 1.5 by the way.
Haha not a problem at all .
Sorry, I didn't understand what you were saying.
If you are already at RC29, and you want root, you need to first upgrade to 1.5.
Sorry bout that, you are correct
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

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..
whats the newest firmware? is it 1.6? and if it is, i cant find a link for it that works anywhere! can anybody help?

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
okay so i just bought a Tmobile G1 from a friend. He gave me the phone and when i opened it and turned it on i realized that is was still on firmware version 1.1. i dont know if im wrong but everywhere i look on the internet, all the G1's are running on 1.6! i also read of something called an "OTA" update but my phone is not prompting me to update.
Different subject~*~*
anyways i also wanted to know if i can update it to 2.2 or 2.3. if thats possible.

lol you dont need to be on 1.6... it just the guides helps you downgrade if you are on 1.6.. if you are on 1.1 or whatever than all you need to do is upgrade to 1.5
