I have an HTC G1/Dream it was running Android 1.6 with DMD64. I downgraded it to RC29 and 1.0 in order to root, but I'm having issues with the recovery. At this point I am considering just getting the device back to 1.6 and DMD64, and abandoning the root. I seriously could use some help on this. I either need some help completing the RC29 Root and recovery flash or help with restoring it back to 1.6 and DMD 64.
Anyone on here know anything about how I would fix this issue?

I have seen this question plastered all over the board, but no one has "officially" answered it. There have been a "it should", "it might", "maybe it will". I don't need those type of answers lol. My question is, has anyone officially and successfully rooted the official cupcake OTA. I had root on my last G1 and had to send it back due to some issues. So I have a complete fresh G1 that was already updated to Cupcake OTA so there isn't an option for me to use Fast Boot. I am on the latest version of the radio release 2.22.19.26I. If I downgrade to RC29 using the old school method, will I run into any problems. Please only reply if you have already done this yourself. Dont need any maybes lol don't know if Tmobile will give me another G1.
Firmware: 1.5 official Cupcake
Radio: 2.22.19.26I
Build: CRB43
Thanks for any assistance.
Oh and I have used the search buttons with no results.
Did it last week with a 1.5 OTA.
And the how to root thread is full of people saying that they successfully downgraded and rooted their 1.5 OTA phones, so you didn't look very hard.
Thanks for your $.02...
Going to go root right now.
Here's the story:
So, got another G1, came with 1.33.2005, and an EBI1 radio. So I flashed AmonRA - R, and the updated EBI1 radio to avoid Rogers harassment. Then I went into the recovery; booted fine. Then I flashed the HTC 1.6 ota update, then CM update, then the EBI1 kernel. Little did I not know, I wasn't supposed to flash the OTA since that would update the radio. Now the phone won't boot into HBoot or Recovery. I do however get the Blue LED from holding the trackball down. Anyway, is my phone permanently screwed? Or is there a way out of this?

I made a mistake and downloaded the official sprint update and now i cant ROOT it because its patched. But i was wondering if anyone could tell me how i can downgrade itt? PLEASE SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE IF YOU CAN HELP! thanks
First. Our phones had 1.5 and not 1.6.
Second, You can not downgrade because the hboot on 2.1 is higher than 1.5.
Try unrevoked.com from your phone and it should root 2.1

You cannot downgrade your bootloader. I think you're stuck until someone finds a way to root the new HBOOT.
I just want to go back to the stock android 2.1 , then update it to 2.2 ofiicially without rooting
The 'custom ROM' you flashed is actually official FroYo. There would be no difference even if you downgraded and got official FroYo. (Its not possible yet as stated above anyway, but, just letting you know)
After downgrading my G1 to version 1.0. I installed a cupcake rom v1.5. rooted the phone..am having problem installing Gingerbread.. Any full help on how to go about it will be really appreciated. Thanks
the problem most likely is an incompatible radio/spl with the rom you are planning to use. most of the "newer" roms require the 2708+ update.
boot into hboot and check what you have
