I'm a foolish idiot and can't do anything with G1

The other day my girlfriend broke her Blackberry and I said I would lend her my old G1, now obviously I don't use it very often but I knew I would have to flash it because I remembered putting Honeycomb on it when it came out. My predictions were confirmed when I turned it on so I went and found a download of CM5 (Most stable ROM I ever used on it), but very stupidly
of me I didn't do a nandroid cos I figured I wouldn't need one as I didn't care about the Honeycomb I put on it.
Getting to the point, when I flashed CM5 it just got stuck boot looping on the bootloader, I tried some other ROMS I found in the form with G1compatability but they all boot loop too! I have no idea what radio I have etc since I don't use it often and I have no OS to check, any suggestions on how to just get it to boot.

when your phone is off.. hold camera and power to start in boot loader so you can see wat radio and hboot yu have

Thanks, Completely forgot the key combo, was trying Power + Volume down because thats what it is on my Desire HD.
I have 1.33.2005 hboot and radio 2.22.27.08, now what?

k so now you need a rom compatible with the radio you have.. most of the recent ones that say 27.08 or 28.25 and you should update your hboot to 1.33.0013d.... ooor you could completely un-root it and get back to stock firmware.. what do you want to do?

I dont want to unroot and put it on stock in case I want to flash other ROM's to it later (like the Honeycomb that was on it)
The only issue is I have no idea how to flash the newest hboot or where to find it.
Links to the latest hboot and how to install? can I just flash in CWM or do I need to use adb?

Ezterry has an excellent guide with links to the latest radio and SPL. You'll need fastboot. You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139

Need help here urgently

I've helped my friend to flash his Incredible S and i've experienced problems in the process. He Has a HBOOT version of 1.16.0000 and has a radio version of 3805.09.03.27_M. I've attempted to unlock the bootloader using the htcdev website's method. All the steps went well but after all the procedures, the phone still appears as S-ON. I've managed to flash the recovery into the phone and used it to flash a custom rom (Android Revolution) and rebooted the phone after the flashing is complete. The phone just gets stuck at the HTC logo with white background. I've then decided to revert everything back to normal by flashing back to stock with the official RUU but i had error 150 while flashing. I've also tried renaming the rom.zip into PG32IMG.zip to flash it through HBOOT but nothing happens. I'm really lost now, can someone give me a solution to it?

s-on will be there...u will just be able to use custom recovery. try flashing a custom rom different from Android Revolution . by the way ..in android revolution you can also try to flash the "revert to stock 1.0 Ghz" patch because sometimes it causes that problem due to OC settings not suiting a phone.
want s-off too? See this

One other tip since you are dealing with an unlocked HBOOT version. When you flash a custom ROM in recovery mode you must then manually flash the boot.img file from the zip file in Fastboot mode using the command:
Fastboot flash boot [path to boot.img]

Umm, the path to boot.img is the root of the sdcard am i right?

Thanks guys i managed to get it S-offed and flashed to a sense 3.5 rom. But i have another problem now, my signals are super low, most of the time it write limited services. I've flashed to another radio version but the signal's still the same weak.

Returning back to stock while keeping root

Hi everyone!
This is my first post, since I never had any trouble toying around with my device. I have a rooted Incredible S, that ran MIUI perfectly. I want to return back to stock (this is imperative) and use the official ICS by HTC. I tried putting back my nandroid backup, which didn't work (perhaps an incompatible radio? I have no idea...). That's when I downloaded a stock, cracked ROM from a thread I found here. This is a Gingerbread ROM with Sence 3.0 I think. Obviously, I can't get the OTA to work. I think the issue here is that my recovery is still CWM, and that OTA only works with the stock recovery (this is what I concluded from research).
This is where I'm having trouble. A RUU doesn't seem to recognise my device, so that's not an option right now. Windows recognises my SD card when I hook up my phone through USB, so I can install ROMs just fine. Is there any way to get the stock recovery and the stock ROM without using a RUU, while keeping my device rooted? I really want all of this to be stock, so no mods, hacks or tweaks. I want my phone to be in the same state as when I bought it and rooted it, before installing custom ROMS. Is this possible?
Many, many thanks in advance!

Hey mate, official welcome from me Second welcome from me today lol
I would advise against going s-on and fully stock.
You cannot run a ruu or ota with a custom recovery/root.
So the easiest way to get the stock experience you want is by flashing one of tpbklake's rooted stock roms. They are basically stock roms with root and can run on a custom recovery. No tweaks or anything

The link above (top one) is based off a newer ruu from asia, although there is not much difference
I would also suggest to try ARHD 3.0.x for the stock optimised rom
Also which bootloader version do you have?

Yes there a some ROMs in the Development section that are completely stock that you can flash through recovery.
The original GB 2.3.3/Sense 2.1, the GB 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 and the latest ICS 4.0.4/Sense 3.6

I'm going to sell my device so I need it back the way it was. I want to keep it rooted though, so that the next owner can decide for himself what he wants to do with it. If he he's no techie, he can enjoy the device in stock (including OTAs, or can this be done like you mentioned?). If whe wants to toy with it, he can do that too. If it's easier to just go back to stock entirely, that's fine too.
It seems that I can no longer get into hboot now? After installing that hacked gingerbread, my device just boots into Android when pressing volume down and power??
tpbklake, I'll try to flash one of those when I can get back into recovery

Weird.. Taking out the battery fixed my recovery issue. I'll flash that ROM
Btw I seem to have hboot 6.13.1002 and radio 3805.06.03.03_M. Is this the info you need?

Yes
But since you want stock it won't matter
You CANNOT have both root and ota updates
Either one or the other unfortunately
You have to make a choice a rooted stock ROM will be identical to the official ota from htc but you will be able to keep root, but can't get ota updates
but unfortunately I think sense 3.6 4.0.4 is the last update
But, I have been proven wrong before

K then in my case a full stock device would be best. How do I get started with this? First install a stock ROM, then the stock recovery and then put It back in S-OFF? Which ROM should I install (would prefer the stock 2.3.3)? And where can I find the recovery? Sorry for the basic questions but those lists of ROMs can get a bit complicated..

Still getting nowhere If I flash a stock ROM in CWM, my recovery won't go back to stock, will it? Shouldn't I try to get the stock recovery first and then use a RUU? Problem is that I can't seem to find a stock recovery anywhere. And when I extract the ROM from a RUU, it's only about 180 MB, so that can't be right, can it?

Ah, perfect! Canceled my download, but there's a 20 minute interval before starting a new one, so it'll take me at least an hour to download it.

I've encountered this issue before, but randomness seemed to solve it back then: a fastboot command just displays "<waiting for device>" and then keeps hanging there. "fastboot devices" returns an empty line, so that's consistent. Phone is in fastboot USB mode, so I'm not sure what could be the issue?
And then I have a question. In that guide, it says that I should extract HBOOT.img from the rom I installed. In my case, my rom only contains a file named "hboot_1.13.0000_CRC_8a731c6e_0401.img" (along with others of course, but I assume they are redundant in this step); will that one do?

Sounds like it may be a port issue, cable issue or driver issue on the PC.
Have you tried different ports or a different cable? Do you have HTC Sync running in the System Tray on the PC?
As for the hboot file, yes that is the one.

HELP! Downgrade from ICS 4.0.4 to GB 2.3.3

Hello everybody,
I was quite happy with my Incredible S until I updated it via OTA to ICS 4.0.4 + Sense 3.6...
Before that, I had been using it with Gingerbread 2.3.3 (or 2.3.5 ?!?) and Sense 2.1 and it was pretty good! I mean.. it did its job without significant problems..
Last week I decided to do ALL the updates in a rush and now it's laggy and slow...What drives me crazy is when I type some text (text messages, whatsapp, browser web, etc.): the touchInput seems not to be as responsive as it was once.. and it is frustrating!
I read a lot about this topic and I discovered that it's a common problem.
I tried to install other keyboards, other messaging apps, I made a factory reset, but nothing helped!
Now I'd really like to downgrade it to Gingerbread + a lighter Sense because I think that Sense 3.6 is too much heavy for this stupid phone.
Since I was (indeed I currently am) a complete noob about mobile systems I need help from you!
My idea is to install a stock rom and not a custom rom because every custom rom have some drawbacks or flaws.. while the stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 was flawless (I swear!).
I read that it's not possible to install an older version of Android via RUU.. is it right?
Is it possible to do something without rooting / s-offing the phone? (I'm not sure about s-off = having root priviledges...)
I read all the threads but I didn't find a clear answer to my problem.. please help!
Thank you guys!
p.s. I'm quite sure that android gb 2.3.3 came with sense 2.1 while gb 2.3.5 came with sense 3.0

Sadly you can't downgrade with an RUU - that would be sweet. Since you are on ICS, i'd assume your hboot version is 2.00+. I'm not sure if you can downgrade that, but take a look around. Essentially, you'd want to install CWM recovery, and install this GB 2.3.5 rom with sense 3. Note, there are no radios, you will have to flash those as well. Unfortunately, this is the only way to downgrade. Also, you will need S-off.

You will have to unlock the bootloader using the procedure at HTCDEV.com. After that, you can use an unsecured boot.img to boot your phone and then modify the phone's version-main so that you can then flash the older GB 2.3.3/Sense 2.1 RUU.

No, you misread the post.
1. Unlock the bootloader using HTCDEV.com
2. Boot your phone using an unsecured boot.img
3. Modify the version-main value.
4. Flash a RUU.
If you have a IncS that has S-OFF via XTC Clip, then you can simply modify the version-main value and then flash a RUU.

Gotcha, good to know, thanks!

well.. thank you for showing interest in my thread.
I understand that is not possible to downgrade without at least unlocking the bootloader..
so.. flashing a RUU is the same as flashing a custom rom?
After unlocking the bootloader I have to:
- flash a custom recovery
- flash a RUU/custom rom?
mmm.. is it really possible to install an older version of android while keeping the hboot at version 2.02 (like mine)?
I don't understand what is an "unsecured boot.img" and what "Modify the version-main value" means..

Look at the Downgrade script sticky post and then download the Downgrade Kit zip file and take a look at it.
The script file has all of the functions you need. One the script is done, you should be able to run the RUU.

U have to relock the bootloader then run the ruu file (the one u choose) while the phone is in fastboot mode

Yes it is. You can use the downgrade script to reset your version-main so that you can flash the 2.3.3 RUU.

Look at the Downgrade script sticky post and then download the Downgrade Kit zip file and take a look at it.
The script file has all of the functions you need. One the script is done, you should be able to run the RUU.

Recent battery issues - Time to update (ICS?)

I took a long break from messing with my phone. I stopped right about the same time ICS came out. I never upgraded. Now that I have battery issues, it is time to refresh my ROM. I am also getting a new battery. I was looking into getting the stock rooted ROM for my phone (2.3.4 with Sense 3.0). I am finding more and more ICS ROMs so I think that is where I should go.
I am currently unlocked with HBOOT 1.83.0014 with CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4.
I found the SuperGuide and it walks through relocking and reflashing the stock ROM, but the linky for the RUUs doesn't have my Gingerbread ROM. Can I relock and flash the ICS ROM?

You will need to update your recovery as well... CWM has issues on the vivid.. TWRP I suggest.

Is Slapshot's SuperGuide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836) all I need? Is it one stop shopping for my situation?
I am on AT&T and I see three of the RUUs on the link have "cingular"....if I am running GB and wanting to finish with ICS, which one should I get?

You may need to read the ICS - WARNING!!! READ BEFORE UPDATING!!! (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562890) thread before you start in on any thing. There was an issue with old recoveries and not being able to write over them.

Once you have your new recovery, there is a completely stock rom available (from AT&T), or you could use my stockish rom (link in my sig) based on the AT&T rom with all the bloat taken out, all the features left in, and with a few mods like the option to use the Holics or Faux kernels, and the advance power menu. It's very stable as I absolutely did not include any libs or junk ported from other phones.
Personally, if I were to stay on ICS, I would stay with Holics 1.3, with the kernel from 1.2. That was the most stable my phone has ever been (besides while running my rom of course, but I only used it for a few weeks as I have been able to use JB as my daily driver for a few months now )
