How to really flash something and how to get latest official updates

Hey, i have a t-mobile g1 and i can't find any official updates and i can't flash any spl or radio because it says they are not signed, how do i fix that? i want the latest official radio rom, latest spl and latest official android. Can somebody please help me!?

Un-root and wait for the OTA updates.

Well, i want to find a place like for htc dream where is a a ruu installer to update everything to latest, don,t care how but to get one of the latest nbh to write it. Not even official files from ota don't work. why isnt there a image like an nbh with a fully up to date? (

Why would you want OTA's when xda will have rooted versions that are faster?
Make sure you flash the SPL and radio after having a modded recovery first...

Well, thank you, now i found the originals, and now only trying to hard spl with the latest spl and of course putting eclair on it, if i manage to do hardspl, i am on win 7 x64 to and this makes everything weirder, on win mo i even make apps but this is my first android phone and trying to understand and manage fast everything, in a couple of hours i want a good rom

Android OTA updates?

I have a nexus one on android 2.2.1, when 2.2 was release i received the update pretty quickly.
However i have stayed on 2.2.1 ever since
With members posting OTA released of 2.3.4 im like wtf!
I have tried to install the updates manually by: update.zip on root and applying in the recovery screen - this has never worked for me, i get a verification error
Now im posting this in the hope that someone can help me update please!!!
Note: My n1 is not rooted and i would like it to stay like that also im only interested in updating to stock roms.
p.s. i try the *#*#2432546#*#* nearly everyday to check for updates.
p.p.s. im from the UK and am on Vodafone if that makes a difference.
Many Thanks

Vodafone use their own tweaked version of Android, and so you have to wait for Vodafone to tweak the update before you get it...
You can use the passimg method to put a completely stock Google Android on your phone, but will lose some data doing it...

Thanks for the post danger-rat, i didnt know vodafone did that.
Will look into passimg.
Cheers

For anyone else having this problem i have found a great guide on how to go from a vodafone rom to a google stock rom

I haven't tried this yet but will soon and update to whether it works.

The above method works, the only problem i had was the passimg rom gave "Main Version is Order" error.
This was resolved by using the rom from:

I am now on android 2.3.4 google rom, still unrooted

Backing up and Restoring

If I backed up my Mango Beta 2 from my phone and flashed my HD7 with the new tmo ROM... would I then be able to restore the Mango Beta 2 backup or will it overwrite the ROM files?
I already have a way to backup my phone

Moved to Q&A

[Q] New to HD7. Upgrade advice please

Hi all
I have just got a HD7 from Ebay. It has not yet been upgraded to Mango so is on the original V1 SPL. I think I am correct in saying that if I upgrade to Mango the SPL will go to 5 and I will not be able to install custom roms.
Currently I do not want to install custom roms but may do in the future.
I want to be able to have Mango fully unlock so I can sideload apps etc but still leave my SPL in a state that I can install cutom ROMS later.
Can this be achieved and if so what steps do I take?
Thank you in advance.

tutorial here.
should also answer other questions.

mango and spl update are 2 different things .
U can upgrade to mango in Zune but stop when u see "HTC update" . This HTC update is the spl update and is the last step in Zune.

I have now flashed Nextgen+ but redlaser does not appear to work.
What I really want is a close to stock Mango ROM with no changes except FULL UNLOCK.
Is there a way I can get this?

Most custom roms are almost the same thing as stock rooms, with different themes and colours
Just that they come with bugs , if any.

Yes I wanted to avoid bugs. All I need is stock mango with full unlock. Adding all this extra stuff just increases the chance of errors.
Is there a mango custom rom without any extras just full unlock?

The bugs are with the extra stuff added .the stock functions should work fine.
