You don't. Not sure what you want to "mod" but just about everything not available on the market, and possibly everything seen here requires root. It's not hard, just do it.

I just want to be able to do all these gorgeous things http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=519

Download the .zip file, place it into your SD card, reboot into recovery mode (phone needs to be rooted by the way) by holding the HOME key and POWER key, select aaply sdcard:choose zip, select the .zip you just downloaded.

Have to root. Like I said most things in this forum require root. Best thing you can do if you have one of these. Even my wife was able to root hers.

Um... As I have been here for a month or so, every post I have ever saw from you, I always seemingly thought K meant Karen Carpenter.. LOL..
I guess since you have a wife, that is not so...

Want to root finally

I've had my G1 since Christmas of 08 and I finally decided to root. I jailbroke my ipod touch, and I heard rooting is similar to that, so i'm up for the task. I have firmware 1.6 and build number DMD64.
What exactly do I need to do, and what is the best rom to date that is good to use?

Don't mean to be rude but did you read this before clicking New Thread?

Did you search or anything?
You won't get anyone here that's going to hold your hand or do it for you because in the twenty or so minutes that you waiting for the answer to be handed to you you could have found it for yourself by reading the above link and/or searching. So you are in actually just wasting your time posting your question. By the way since you are obviously new to XDA here's a fair warning. There are three types of people on here... those that help, those that are idle (just read but don't post) and those that need everything done for them. What kind do you think your first impression made and what kind of people do you think get flammed by the Senior Members that spend hours every week helping people like yourself by answering the same questions over and over again even after it's already been answered. And you're probably thinking "Instead of writing out this whole damn thing, why didn't he just tell me the answer?" Well because if you don't learn this way you're only going to rely on us from here on out if you are spoon fed. Again, I'm not trying to be a d!ck but if you want to make it here on XDA you have to play by the rules. Happy rooting!

Search button ftw.

I did see that link, but I didn't want to follow a tutorial that was a few months old and there was already a new rom or something available.

A rooted phone is timeless, you can have any version of Android, whenever you want it. Therefore, it makes sense that an old thread is just as good as a new thread that has the same exact information other than the rom you flash.

Ok, I finished rooting my G1 and got to the HTC v.1.5.2 screen, now i'm going to install a rom

Thanks to all of the guides and youtube videos, I now have Manup456 Eclair 2.1 V1.5 on my G1! Just going back to put back in my ringtones and files. It's like I have a brand new phone!

Havent seen this asked yet but is there a way to root your g1 without a data plan and a data block put on your service (on ATT)

"Seen" well then you were only looking for about 2 seconds then. Google it.

wow, seriously? noone can get any help any more. everyone is just such a **** these days.
anyways, you need a data plan to root ur phone. you personally don't need it, but get a friend that has a data plan and use his SIM card for the procedure. and i'm sure there are some apps that force all data to be stopped and only allow wifi. i know my hero rom has an option to disable all data except for wifi built right in. i used hero_over. but i'm sure all hero roms have that option.

Your method is probably the most "common-sense" idea. We're not being dicks, we're just sick and tired of people not searching before posting, there's about millions of pages on google on the topic but they insist on coming here anyways. He can register through wifi with adb which most people do, so this pretty much contradicts the word "need" in your first statement. I won't carry on because I don't need to because I'd be a "****".

in anycase you're wrong, I haven't seen a question asking if you can root a phone without a data plan and a data block put on your phone.. keyword: DATA BLOCK... yes I am not an idiot.. I do search, why do alot of you seniors post on Q&A with "search please" ... just to get your post count up? Seems pretty regressive on helping people in a questions section.
Thanks to the other poster XD, but isn't there an option to get around it by entering in wifi to supplement the loss of a data plan and the addition of a data block?

Yes you can use no data plan too:

But when you really think about it, what's the point of having a Dream if you don't have a data plan? The majority of what the phone does involves intensive data plan usage, and I don't know about anybody else, but I actually use my device other than sitting at my computer.
Just my two cents.

[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.

The answer for you is to read the stickies. i recommend you to hang around and read what are in the stickies. this has been ask many-many times because people like you who don't like to read. specially if the answer is near.

Hahaha..not like..but to many post make my mind blurrr on focusing...anyway thanks...will look for it

well... anyway... i know what you mean. blur at some point back then. but its necessary for you to know what you are going to do and what will come next before you mess up your phone. At the end of the day, you'll find out its a simple thing. if you meet any problem. state it here. if i'm around i'll see what i can do. else someone else will provide you some help if they're interested. ^^
you can start with what version of firmware you have and Hboot version from the boot loader. power off your phone than hold vol- and power button. read the green words on top of the screen. this might clear a lot of things
lol.... no wonder your name was so familiar... i was looking for some hack for x10 mini few weeks ago and your name was there.

was wondering if this is strange or makes sense...i kinda like it
oh and the cm7 stuff is still there even with sd card removal from the TB

Since CM7 is available for a number of devices, how would anyone reading your post know that it was a Nook Color CM7? And since the Synergy ROM is not available for the Nook Color I doubt most here would have any idea what you are talking about.

He was sharing something he thought was interesting. It is understood that it was the sd card out of his nook since he posted on the nook forums.
Hope you managed to get that head removed from your ass.

Pls show some of your education level and using proper language.
If you have some knowledge as you claim "sharing his thought", might you please elaborate what good, what we can learn out of the OP thread? I personally think it is a completely useless post, at least, in the Nook Color General section.
Imaging you are talking about Messi, Maradona, ... in NFL section.

Keep it Clean children no need for bickering.
I am not amused by your phones performance

I for one think this is interesting, and is OK to be in the NC forums...

This is interesting. Also I happen to have the same gear, and many others here I'm sure have android phones as well. I would have been a little leary to try this out myself. Was the Thunderbolt otherwise unmodified, or was it rooted/rom'd already?

This post is in a perfect place. The General section is for sharing anything that doesn't fit into any of the other sections. The SD Card in question was used in his Nook Color. Therefore, the post pertains to the Nook Color. I don't believe this post would fit in any of the other sections seeing as how it is not a question, theme, app, accessory, or anything to do with android development on the Nook Color. If you cannot understand the concept of a General forum, you really need reassess your decision to drop out of high school. And yes that was an insult to your intelligence.

Mod time :
I was just going to move this thread to the Thunderbolt forum (sorry, but this has nothing to do with the Nook), but seeing the pointless flaming, i am just going to close the thread, and say that the flaming participants should consider themselves warned..
