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.

Mandatory 3 month lurk period 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] I really could use some help please...

First off, I apologize if I come off as "noobish". I joined this site about 10 minutes ago. Anyway, last week I left my Samsung Captivate unattended (like the drunken fool I am), someone guessed my pattern too many times and now I'm at the "too many pattern attempts" screen and of course I do not have a Google account. From my understanding, after readin some threads on here, one of the solutions is to use the ODIN program to flash the phone, is that correct? And also, is there any possible way, via ODIN or some other program, for me to view my text messages before I flash it and lose everything? I would very much like to know the contents of the texts I've been receiving all week. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this, and perhaps help me out.

The too many pattern attempts only locks the phone for a set time. Sounds to me like you "found" a phone that you want help with. Why not take it to at&t and have them return it or ask them for assistance if you are indeed the rightful owner.

I can assure you I'm the righful owner. I left my phone unattended at a party and my fantastic friends tried guessin my pattern too many times. I'm now stuck at a screen where you have to enter your Google account. Like a dumbass I didn't create a Google account when I first purchased the phone. So now I'm locked out of my phone for good. And I've already been to AT&T. We tried the hard reset, and just does not work and they won't give me a new phone.

**** flashed with Odin and create a new Google acc or call art and said that u lost the phone and paid those 125 but u still can keep the phone u have now and sell it truogh Craigslist or some place like that !

I dont believe that anyone uses a android phone without making a google account.

So you've NEVER gone to the android market? That's the first thing anyone does that has a Droid phone.

you sir are not smart enough to trick us real owners. Google account creation is required to access the market. you telling us you've never tried to access the market?

What you need a google account to access the market?
Damn...........Who would have thought that.......
There are ways around this.........OP I don't think your going to get any help here.......

So just get on a computer and create a Google gmail account. It does not have to be created by your phone. Once you have created your account, you can then enter your gmail ID when the phone prompts for it.
But I agree. Something is fishy with this story.

So its going to verify whatever he puts in there to a "blank" file, it won't match The point of entering the Gmail account is a second means of verification, if there is no account registered to the phone, it won't work.
His best bet is to return the phone to its owner.....the dead give away that it is not his, is that he has not had it for a week...who can go a week without their Captivate?

Agreed....return to owner

I haven't posted because I have been quite busy with work and school. I have accessed the Market before. But it never asked me to create a Google Account. Not that I remember anyway. I wish there was a way for me to prove to y'all I am very sincere about my situation. I really do need help with this. It is true, I have been locked outta my phone for over a week now and it is drivin me crazy. But I'm explorin other options that doesn't cost money, like the ODIN program, that was what I really wanted to know about. Anyway, judgin by all the post, I'm some evil asshole tryin to get into someone else's phone. Which, I guess, is somewhat understandable, and with y'all not knowin me or me not bein able to show proof of my sincerity, I guess I can't be too upset about the accusations. I guess, I will just download the ODIN program, try to find some steps on how to use it and see if I can't mess my phone up even more.

There's a freaking thread dedicated to odin in the dev forum. Read search comprehend.
And there is no way at all that you used the market without a google account.

I think you are straight up lying. dude, att isn't going to just say "sorry, can't help you" if its really your phone. plus, Google account creation is (almost) unsurpassable when you insert sim card for first time. please tell us how you used market without Google account because im pretty sure its more secure than that(especially for situations like the one you brought here).
if its truly your phone, go to att tomorrow, give them the last four of your social security no. and they will be more than happy to reset your phone.
btw none of the people who use XDA frequently have ever come across someone who hasn't created a Google account for market use.

[REQ] I Need an App Developer

Whilst lying on my living room floor a (hopefully) great idea hit me.
I have a new project and it's really unique.
It could change mobile browsing forever.
The app will allow you to download Data to you mobile via your mobile network for free.
People have unlimited data on mobile e.g. :
500mb unlimited data
Which means they can browse the net for free unlimited.
But they can stream and download content up to 500mb.
I can put a stop to this but need a very good developer. All the ideas are in my head.
So PM me or reply to the topic if you know are are a very good developer.

I'd be glad to help, but here in Italy browsing is limited, as all the kinds of net traffic.

I can do that, but starting a program knowing that I have no way to test or just make something useful with it is... well... discouraging at the least ;-)

SIM access

HI, ppl I was wandering, since I`m using android for some time... It`s a good thing I have used Nokias before because all my contacts are stored on a sim card and I can just import them every time I change a rom or buy a new phone. Nokia phones (atleast symbian ones, havent tried win mobile)have this function where it lets you store your contacts and massages on both phone and sim in the same time, which is basically how it is supposed to be.
Now I can`t seem to find this on the androids. Heres the q. Does anyone know of a way to add this function to the menu of the phone or a program that does that? And why isn`t this added even in some of the custom roms (just an idea, if it is possible to be done)?

i found that almost custom ROM in X8 thread don't have "Save to SIM" option,
you may visit in "Development" thread and give them you opinion!

Well I frequently format my sd since i change roms and its just better to have a clean sd.... But i have the contacts on a file via bluetooth, that`s another thing... My points is that It`m much more easy with the sim... otherwise if we get a stable jellybean i may stop changing and make a permanent backup on sd... not the point of the thread anyway ....

Wifi Tools?

Can someone please tell me if there is a wi-fi tool that can really retrieve wi-fi passwords?
Coz the ones ive tried on the market are all a bunch of joks, and they dont do much.
Please advise if u know a good one, thanks.

Frankly, there is no such a tool. Some old modems have common password but the ones on the market don't do what you are looking for. Why are you looking for an app to retrieve passwords, anyway it's non of my business.

I've read somewhere that you need three laptops and 12 hours of continuous packet monitoring to crack the new standards of encryption..so I don't think your phone will be much of a help.
But I could be wrong...good luck with your efforts.
