Hi
Just bought a G1 off eBay, very pleased nice price.
I have a few questions if you can answer them.
1. As far as i know the G1 is stock and runs (will it be) cupcake? Is it 1.5?
If i decide to upgrade a 2.2 rom can i downgrade to 1.5/6?
2. Is it easy to root?
3. Could you post a nice "how to flash a G1" tut?
4. recovery? is it installed via fastboot?
Thanks
And i hope you can answer these questions for me!
in market, search "Universal Androot" to get root permissions easily.
as far as rom upgrading, the forums have several tutorials that you can search easily so it would be redundant to repost them just figure out which rom you want and they give instructions in the threads
I prefer Biffmod 2.1, it runs smoothly for me(its Froyo)
Good Luck
Start Here work your way down thru each link before you do anything, READ!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Will take a look.

So here is the deal. I have searched these forums for a while and can't find what I really need. What I need is the most stable ROM available that has all of the features of the phone in proper working condition.
I have enjoyed using experimental ROMs with RAM hacks and the like but I am selling my G1 to somebody else. I need to find a ROM that doesn't have any issues with blue tooth, 3D, or playing video and youtube.
I apologize for creating a whole new thread for this but I have searched the forums and the only versions that I can find have some substantial known issues.
So what Android ROM should I download and flash? Thank you to anybody who can help.
if you're selling the phone, keep it simple. A stock donut rom ought to be just fine. Or hell, unroot it.

Hi this is probably a really stupid question but I am new and don't really know what I'm doing lol. I was wondering if there was an easy way to upgrade my sprint hero to 2.2. Google offers the official stock android but I don't know how to install it and I can't figure out the search here. Can someone lead me in the right direction? Maybe link to the right thread? Thanks for the help

One thing is for sure your going to have to root your phone before you can do anything so here's the rooting guide for 2.1:

The official source code for 2.2 doesn't just install on our phone everything has to be packaged in a rom and if its not supported by htc we have to do it ourselves so if you look around in the forums you'll find a lot of good 2.1 custom roms and darchstar built a 2.2 froyo build from the ground up. Good luck.
What is darchstar's 2.2 rom called
Just wanted to double check, newbie here but willing to learn. You have to get to your phone into a root statues, at which point your going to flash a new rom onto it with either 2.1 or 2.2?

that is correct
its not too hard once you finally get set-up
i suggest trying out a basic rom without all the bells and whistles first
then once you realize you can load a rom and you mess with it for a bit, try flashing a new kernal, try using overclock, try out a new launcher even *adw or helix.....*, then if you're still feeling good you can try jit
by then you should understand a bit more.
Hello!
In one week I will get this phone and please- give me some answers.
I would like to root it and to put some very good custom rom and kernel as well as lag fix. My questions are:
Whitch complete programs for PC do I need for all these operations?
Would you give me a link for the best custom (or not custom) rom with Froyo, also for the custom overclocked kernel?
Also for good instructions how to do it?
I am asking because I have been used Milestone and Hero, there everything is clear for me, but here I am noob..
there is a sticky FAQ post with all the answers.
I am thinking about putting MIUI on my friends Droid 1 on verizon, and I would need to do it tomorrow. I have a gs2 and had a captivate so i'm used to the way it all works on the samsung devices but not on the Motorola ones.
So i guess i had a few quick questions,
Does Miui work well on the droid, it appears to with the forums?
to install it it appears i just use rom manager with root is this correct?
Do i need to get root and install clockwork? or does this not need clockwork?
and are there any unbrick methods like odin for samsung?
I know i really should be searching and I'm starting my search when i finish this post but if anyone is feeling generous and knows the links to the forums or answers to any of the questions above or just advice i'd appreciate it.

To get back to stock, flash stock sbf using rsdlite.
A friend of mine asked me to root his phone for him. I personally have a rooted and ROM'ed Samsung Epic so this is not exactly new to me. My first question is what is the best way to root and ROM this phone? After searching around my head is spinning a bit about this. For my Epic I was able to do a one click root that also installed CWM. After that I was able to use Clockwork to flash new ROM's and kernels.Second the reason he gave me for wanting to root was to be able to have WiFi tethering. Am I going to need to install a custom ROM for his phone or is there an app that will give him this feature once we have his phone rooted? Thanks in advance for all of the help!
Quickest, basic answer...
For Root... [APP]SuperOneClick v2.3.2
For the tethering question, he will have to check out a Rom that offers it as one of the options (most do). Don't ask what Rom is recommended, he will have to make the choice depending on his preferences to the specifics offered in a Rom. There are plenty of choices here... Captivate Android Development
Your right about the ROM so I removed the question. I guess I was looking for some recommended ROM's that were stable and everything worked. Thanks!
