Power down your phone and then press
Back + power on
You will get to the hboot screen now, where the spl and radio informations are printed on top of the screen.

i cant find the spl

Are you rooted?
You have hboot 0.95.0000 -> that's the standard SPL. With this you will not have any chances to run a Gingerbread-ROM. If you want to install a Gingerbread-ROM, I suggest to first install the 2708/1.33.0013d combo (a link can be found in my signature), which gives you in addition 14MB of ram.
But first read everything carefully before starting to flash some zips

The FRG83 link that goes to google is down and has been for a while. The one that goes to HTC is a full image and does not work with HBOOT 00.35.0017 for whatever reason (after verifying image, it simply goes back to normal hboot screen with no prompt or failure message).
My ultimate goal is to replace the emailgoogle.apk with a modified one. To do that, I need root. So my new goal is to root my phone without unlocking the boot loader. You can't root Gingerbread (actually it's all about HBOOT 00.35.0017) with a locked boot loader at the moment, so my newer goal is to downgrade HBOOT. There currently does not seem to be a viable way to do that.
There was this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726258#7197502
But it both requires root (which I don't have yet) and the links are dead.
There also seems to be no published way to re-lock a boot loader, though I know it has been done.
As silly as it sounds, my reason for not wanting to unlock is the padlock image. I bought a busted phone on ebay and fixed it, so I don't have warranty.
The FRG83 file is a zip within a zip, which is why it isn't working...
The hboot version doesn't make a difference when trying to root. If you are currently on FRG33, you can root using this method:

That did the trick. I PASSIMG.zip'ed back to FRG33 and followed your guide to the letter. I was a little worried since the chmod commands failed, but I ran the rage script anyway and then started over. The second time the chmod commands worked and everything went perfectly. Installed Rom Manager, flashed clockwork, then replaced it with Amon Ra.
Got rooted gingerbread and stuck in my modded emailgoogle.apk for good measure.
EDIT:
For anyone searching for this, I specifically use the 656099b119f8.signed-passion-ota-102588.656099b1.zip update to go from FRG33 to GRI40 gingerbread 2.3.3 and without rebooting applied another update.zip that re-installed superuser. Specifically look for this guide: h t t p://forum.xda-developers. c o m/showthread.php?t=931865 and mostly disregard it except for downloading the su-***-signed.zip and then looking at is post: h t t p://forum.xda-developers. c o m/showpost.php?p=11626567&postcount=70
Of course, you have to have a custom recovery to flash both the gingerbread update and the super user update! And don't forget to mount /system before doing the super user update!

Original G1 owner need unlocking help

I have the G1 since it came out on T-Mobile. Since then I have moved on to Samsung Vibrant, original Galaxy Tab and currently on the international Galaxy Tab 7.7 as my phone and tab. I would like the xda community help in unlocking my G1 for a backup phone on my current sim. One thing to know, I am no longer using T-Mobile, I am on Straight Talk. I have been looking online to find a way to get it unlocked but all I come up with is, steps to unlock using the unlock code from T-Mobile (again I am no longer with T-Mobile) this is no use to me, or just follow links to websites where you pay for the code (would not trust them).
Is there a way to unlock it without the need of an unlock code? The original Galaxy Tab was able to be unlocked using Terminal Emulator by a member here on xda, would this be possible to do on the G1? Another option that is not good for me is ADB as I have no clue how to use it, I am okay using terminal emulator if given the correct code. I greatly appreciate your help and looking forward to your suggestions.
solved.......
Ok, since i was not getting any info here i decided to go ahead and pay for the unlock code. I used http://www.unlock-htc.com/unlocking-HTC.php, even though i was a bit sceptical, they accept paypal so at least i could fight the charge if any issues came up. Also i was able to root my G1 using this site http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/23/how-to-root-the-htc-g1-dream-androot-method/. So now i have an unlocked and rooted G1. Next up flashing a rom, maybe.
yeah unlike some other phones no one has been able to sim unlock these phones without a code, at least to my knowledge. the only other way I know off for you to have gotten a code for free would be to try and contact htc directly or have some one you know with tmobile get it for you
I have rooted many g1s over time but never used androot, I have heard it works fine
you will definetly want to try out some newer roms, so many better than stock. and look into upgrading your radio/spl as well as a custom recovery to make all the new rom flashes easier

well if you rooted with androot you should be ok, you now need to flash a custom recovery, I suggest amonra (also there is an app in the market that checks for root, I suggest use it to make sure) if you are rooted and have the sdk package on computer proceed
get a terminal emulator from the market as well as superuser and linda file manager, amonra image, put it on the root of sd card and rename it to recovery.img (if on windows it may auto put extention in there so name it just recovery)
open terminal emulator and type
su
then type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
wait a minute or so
now reboot into recovery

you will need to get adb.exe and fastboot.exe and the proper drivers for those programs installed on your computer to do a full upgrade of your radio/spl.
there are ways around this but it will be much easier and faster in the future if you have this.
also safer to flash firmware via fastboot as apposed to recovery

find a thread called adb for dummies or something along those lines, it has a mini package in it with all the required programs and files to do minimal work (adb, fastboot, drivers, etc) it also explains how to use these functions (just a quick basic idea anyway)
the sdk package is big if you download everything, and unless you start learning to develop roms and or apps most of it will seem usless to you
your other option is to just root the phone the old fasioned way, following the cyanogen wiki completley starting with the downgrading with the dreaming.nbh file
I've used this method o so many times, the first time took me manybe half an hour because I had to read up on it and understand it. now when I root a g1 I'm done in about 10 mins with rooting, upgrading to the latest radio/spl and installing a custom rom and recovery. so in other words it isn't too hard or time consumming and you may have less issues

Ok so I figured out where I was going wrong, I needed to downgrade to RC29.
So I followed cyanogen wiki and did the following:
Downgraded to RC29
Installed Amon_Ras latest recovery image
Upgraded radio to 2.22.23. 02
Spl 1.33.2005
Then I tried to install cm 5.0.8 (the links for cm 6 are not working) it flashed properly but then it just gets stuck on the G1 screen. I redid all the steps and still same issue. Any suggestions?
PS I did noticed that my original radio is the same as the one I installed using cyanogen wiki, is this correct?
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium
very possibly, that is a stock radio for the g1, did you also flash the gapps/base to cm5? they do not come with gthe rom
if you need further help boot into hboot and write down everything on that screen

well there are many better custom roms then the stock 1.5 or 1.6 but choice is yours of corse
before you switch do you want to still be rooted? this will make a difference in what you do to go back.
also if you want to relock your bootloader as I am assuming you are unlocked and probably s_off or fake s_on
boot into hboot and write down all that is there (power on holding camera)
now boot into recovery and write what you see (either choose reboot recovery from hboot or power on holding home)

well I suggest reading up a bit about how android works before you begin, if you make mistakes there is a chance you can brick your phone. start by reading about the g1 in the xda wiki here (you'll find it easy) next google cyanogen wiki and look for the dream (g1) you will see some explanations of how to root etc. although you are not going to berform these steps I suggest you at least have a understanding of the process. also I would suggest looking for a glossary of terminalogy so you won't get confused when reading through this.
on a phone right now so you will have to google and search this on your own.
one of the main things I need to know about your phone is the radio and spl you are on (will matter how to change roms)
to check the simplest way is to turn off phone, then hold the camera button while powering on - this will bring you to your bootloader (also called hboot and spl - secondary program loader)
on this screen there will be information about your firmware, just simply write all of this down and post it here... after that we can keep going

OK, still I'm familiar with the process of rooting and installing roms, I own a galaxy phone and I use clockwork mod to apply my roms that way, and I install rooted kernels so my root is supplied with the rom. I am familiar with the terminology and such. But with an old phone such as the G1, is this bootloader the only way to install a new rom? Or is there a way to get RomManager working? Such as an older version of the free version apk?
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda premium
you can use rom manager but I advise against it, with any phone really. its ok but you can run into problems and if you aren't familiar with the basics you can easily get stuck and not know what to do next, so with any phone my opinion on rom manager is stay away but it can work fine.
no, just like with your smamsung all phones have a bootloader of sorts and this kinda like bios in windows, think of it as the firmware that boots the os.
these are some reasons why I think you should learn some terminology and read up so I (or others) don't have to write up lengthy explanations of this stuff)
in the bootloader there will be information on what firmware is on your phone, you won't be flashing roms in here just need the info. for the most part you will be using your recovery to flash roms
so if you could write that information down it will be easier to know what to flash otherwise I will have to guess

But this doesn't make that much sense, with my other Android phones, I just flash clockwork mod with stock recovery and then I flash a rom in, why does firmware matter?? Its a g1 so wouldn't I just be able to go in with stock recovery and flash the stock as an update.zip? Why is this information you need so nessacary?? If its and android phone, can I just install clockwork mod through stock recovery and go from there??

Ill provide the baseband number if you need it, i didnt know if Im supposed to give that out. BTW, here are some things i found suspicious with this phone, im providing some pictures to show you this isnt stock as well.
yeah I think it may be stock but branded to so chinese carrier, it doesn't appear to be rooted.
my guess, being you from us, you don't want to have a phone with an os ment for china, I couldn't tell you if its slower than stocked branded for tmobile but my guess is you won't have much of a speed/stabillity upgrade if you change to the tmo stock.
at this point you will need to downgrade and root your phone, you may need to make a goldcard being it is branded to china or whereever but I doubt it.
just follow this guide

tell me when you have sucessfully gotten amonra as a recovery, at this point ill help further (to check what recovery you have hold home while powering on)

The phone does say T-Mobile on it. The only Chinese thing physically about it is the battery. Everything else looks just like the US version.

yeh well that is where they messed up in the rom, besides if you look at you build number rc83 is not tmobil
either way look @ the splash screen, that is not stock htc or stock tmobil - right now it is very very unlikely you are rooted, and that is why rom manager won't work - if you want to root your phone and if you want a different os then follow the guide, otherwise complain to who you bought it from that you didn't get a us branded phone

well if it has root your next step would be to verify what recovery you have, if it is stock change it to amonra (much better then cw on these phones)
easiest way to change is open terminal emulator and type
su
flash_image recovery/sdcard/recovery.img
of course you will have to have the .img on the root of your sd card and named recovery.img
after that you will have to upgrade your radio and spl to flash the roms you want

Ok so i just need to go into recovery mode and see which recovery im in, then if its stock, then put the amonra recovery on my sd card, change the name to update.zip, and use the terminal to flash it? Then just do the radio upgrade through amonra recovery? And then find the stock rom i want and flash it through amonra?
You will want to name it recovery.img
Yes you will then flash an updated radio in recovery, then flash an upgraded SPL in recovery. Know that flashing the wrong radio or wrong SPL can brick your phone, flash the radio provided in the cyanogen wiki, then the danger SPL, make sure to check the md5sum and that the radio was flashed first, do not rename the .zips keep them as they are (in other words don't call them update.zip)
After this then reboot to recovery, wipe all and flash your ROM of choice, although I wouldn't recommend stock as there are far faster ones with many more features

Thanks in advance for any help provided. I have already tried a lot of solutions and guides everywhere in the internet but wouldn't find one that would allow me to install a Gingerbread Rom.
Search making a gold card, not at a PC right now but I'm sure you can find instructions

hi again, thank you for your help. but i can't manage to create a goldcard since the german website used to generate the .img image is dead. I've only managed to install a custom recovery but I don't really know if this help with anything.
best regards,
luis
Well if you have the recovery see if it will allow you to change your radio and bootloader, be sure to use the right ones

Once again thank you for you help. Sorry for this "stupid" question but where can I found the good hboot and radio to flash using the recovery ? I mean I've already found it since I've already used this phone with a ICS rom in the past (I've been dumb to update it with the official 1.5 release but that's another question), and I know where to find the .img but I can't flash them using fastboot. So is there any other solution using the recoveyr ? (Like for example, by flashing them directly with the terminal on the recovery).
Its not usually a good idea to flash firmware from recovery, you could probably try terminal but I can't attest to how safe this is. Terminal emulator and dd commands should be last result. Even flashing in recovery could be unsafe.
Best option is to make the gold card and flash the orange.nbh, then you will have an engineering SPL and can update all via fastboot.
I think there is instruction on the unloker.com or something like that. You will probably need to search a bit but I'm not near a computer so I can't link

Once again thank you for help in helping me searching the good information.
I'll try and when I have the ICS rom installed again I will mark this thread as solved.

Search cyanogen wiki root rogers HTC dream or look for directions within xda. Otherwise where you are now get your custom recovery and terminal app and put the recovery on root of SD, name it recovery.img
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery
You may need to install the flash image binary first

Thank you but should I change the radio and spl? I need help as to how can I is my G1 as they post e911
Part of the rooting process will do this and you will want in then end to get the .13d SPL and 2708 radio but you need to get to compatible radio and SPL first. I've only rooted one rogers dream so off the top off my head I can't tell you all the proper steps, not at a computer to link you easy either. I don't believe you need to worry much about the post 911 patch anymore but when I rooted this I used the steps laid out in the cyanogen wiki and it all worked fine for me. I would suggest to look this up or find the steps here in xda

I read it should I skip the rooting process since mine already is?
no, dont skip as this will upgrade your spl and give you custom recovery, just pretend your phone isnt rooted and move on

Sigh the droid X download is broken, really sorry but what about the other method?
ok sop get your custom recovery from HERE make sure you get one with an "R"
now flash the 1.33.2005 bootloader, found a working link HERE
Once all is complete and confirmed good the follow THESE INSTRUCTIONS to fully update phone and allow for newest roms
The last section requires you to learn fastboot, there are ways not to, but your going to have to try first
Hey thanks alot I finally did it, hboot was updated but the radio didn't I flashed the one in ezterry's thread multiple times through recovery but it just didn't update still I flashed ezgingerbread so now its working.
bdw if its not to much trouble do you have a froyo rom that is similar to ezgingerbread? Which can run on any radio or hboot?
What is everything it says on bootloader screen now?

I ran into a problem now stupidly flashed CWR via rom manager and now I can't flash any other recovey.
on terminal it says flash_image not found while on fastboot
D:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4602 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.719s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: image type not support)
finished. total time: 1.734s
I got the hang of fastboot thanks to you but this problem is wrecking my nerves.
There is an option in ROM manager to flash another recovery, never use ROM manager so can't attest to how well it works, my guess is you have a bad image your trying to download, personally I like amonra the best for the g1, I believe the version is like 1.7 and if you go to amonras thread you will get download link and md5sum to check
