Unable to root PLS HELP!!

I have being trying to root my G1 so it will work with wifi tether app. but it just will not work. I have followd the instructions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480 and it comes up with no errors but the wifi app insists the phone is not rooted.
Incidentally I downloaded the dreaming software to downgrade the phone from RC9 to RC7 as per instructions.....
What am I doing wrong?? It's doing my head in

Not to sound like a jerk or anything but often times its one very minor detail (at least I) skipped over. Only thing I can say is to go back and try it again. If you did "Everything" right as it says to on the guide then there may be no way for us to tell what you did "wrong" if you did everything right. Know what I mean?

can't use data after install??

Im a newbie here so bare with me. I follwed a tutorial from crobs808 easy step by step to intall android on my vogue to the T , i even used the suggested build on the tutorial.
I was able to make it work and installed everything ok on my device, but my problem now is that i can no longer go online or use my data. I don't know why but i can't surf the web, go on youtube, market, etc. The phone only makes/receives calls and text. My other problem is that when i connect the phone to the usb my pc does not recognize it. Any suggestions? by the way i wanted to switch to the 2.1 build from incubus26j
Thanks for the help.

did u take a look at the app called modem?
i comes pre installed
also if you installed to nand
just follow the same procedure

ok, i was able to put in the 2.1 build in. All went fine...im going to wait and see if i can use data but if not any suggestions??

Try reinstalling or even re-flashing the .nbh file?

i did not flash anything exept that one time to unlock the phone. The first and now second time intalling these builds i did not flash anything. The tutorial says nothing about flashing anything....am i wrong? If so, how do i do it? and how/when do you flash nbh?
and i did check the modem app and it says its connected.....but still no data

everything works except data.....anyone?? Thanks

Hm..i have work internet, but market & Gmail doesn't work. Why? Modem App work well,i see my ip, at browser internet work.

unplug the usb cable, reboot the phone.
(fyi, 3gs is an iphone, you mean 3g)

Thanks for the quock reply. I tried restarting the phone but it still not working..
What can be done to get 3g working?

Hmmm... I'd recommend loading a different modem or a different ROM. However, I'm not sure if I understood you correctly... can you make calls while on the stock ROM? If not, I'd return it to AT&T for an exchange.

Not working in stock too.. Will go to att store. Not sure they exchange the phone, but lets try with sim.

So you didn't have you sim card in did I read that correctly. If that is the case then yes you won't be able to do anything with the phone on the ATT network.
If that is not the case then yes I would look into returning it

I followed these steps and it worked fine now..

Installed now Assonance, awesome ROM..
Thanks for helping me out..Appreciate..

Can't text

First, yes, my phone is rooted.
Now, I uninstalled the stock messaging app a few weeks ago, and was using GO SMS (I had been using Handcent but it stopped letting me open attachments months ago). It was working great at first, even after I uninstalled the stock app, no problems, now when my boyfriend sends me a text I don't get it, and the texts I do get come in in a pop up window and it doesn't notify me I have a new text (it just shows up when I turn the screen on). Also when I go into GO SMS the new messages aren't there, they have disappeared into thin air. The ones I send are there, but the ones I receive aren't there. I tried to update GO this morning and it totally uninstalled it (I did not tell it to unistall). Now when I try to install GO or Handcent the installation fails.
I'm running CM6, if that matters.

OK, rebooted and got GO SMS to install again. I was able to send, but still don't know if I can get them. Either my boyfriend didn't respond, which is likely since he's at work, or he did and I didn't get it... LOL

I seem to remember the stock SMS application was needed for both handcent and gosms to work properly. That would be why your incoming are not showing a notification or showing up in the app. Use a computer to open up the zip of the rom your using and take the stock SMS app from it and put it back on your phone.

If only it was that easy... I can't get my computer to recognize my phone when I have it plugged in. This is one of the reasons I wanted a new phone, but once again Sprint screwed me.

OK, got my computer to recognize my phone (my USB cable is wonky and doesn't work most of the time). While I'm not computer illiterate by any means, I am fairly smart phone illiterate and I'm not sure how to find the ROM. I found the clockwork mod, but can't find the ROM.

Open up the zip file of the ROM (aka the one you downloaded off this website and flashed), grab the stock SMS app (I think MMS.apk?), and ADB push it back to /system/app. Can't post too much from my phone, but search the board/Hero CDMA Wiki/etc, there are instructions on how to use ADB if you don't already know.

This is the right track. Take the zip for your rom, put it on your computer... open the zip and navigate to /system/app and copy the MMS.apk to your sd card on the phone, you should just be able to click the apk from something like astro or estrongs and it will install, if not, you may have to download the android SDK and push it to your phone. If your not familiar with that process, the alternative is to reflash your rom over what you have. You can do so without a wipe if your flashing the same rom.

If you don't have adb installed you should take a look in the dev section and look for my thread on how to install adb. It takes like 15 to 20 min tops. And it might help with your pc not recognizing your phone. Sometimes those htc drivers get outta wack. Hope it helps good luck.

Thanks everyone... going to try to fix the problem tomorrow, now that I finally get a day off where I don't need to have my cell phone operational and can take the time to do it.

Let us know how it goes!

[Q] no data and "insufficient space"

Super boob. I rooted, installed clockwork mod. Made lots of changes and deleted lots of stock files (music widget hanging in my notification bar) I was working then I downloaded "atorrent" just to see if torrents were good for mobile. Now I have no data signal, will not download anything due to insufficient space. I did a factory reset and that was the wrong thing to do!! Got another phone coming tomorrow but I WILL figure a way to fix this! Help would be appreciated tho!!

Ok could you tell us what it does when you turn it on? Does it go into cwm? Does it go into download mode and any other info about whats rong with it now that you did a factory reset?

It boots normally and phone and txt msg work, also wiring works just fine. I am not sure if the atorrent download had anything to do with but its the only thing I did between total normal operation and what I have now.

Factory reset removed titanium and other root tools I had along with everything else. Still have superuser but not sure if still root as there is no way to know and cannot download anything directly. (Wifi, not wiring)
To clarify, It seems like I can download anything except market Apps. I have more more than enough room for files, it will let me dl asphalt 6 because I have to launch the game to do so. U Prolog know that's 300 MB. Plenty of space. Settings, about this phone, status, mobile network state = connecting.... been stuck there for 2 days. Called att and they said possible similar card error. It works just fine in the wife's phone. ( same also rooted)

have you tryed reflashing the kdz with lg flasher tool?
if you dont know how follow these steps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491870

Not near a comp I can do that with but I will give a try either later tonight or tomorrow. Hope it works and I will post as soon as I do. Thanks a bundle!

Ya np if that dosent work might wanna talk to dark in the free assistance thread just below this one he knows more about this stuff then me.

the phone lost root. i cant get it to root again. "permission denied" i am getting new thrill tomorrow so i will root and be a bit more carefull. use this one as a practice phone. i really want to make it work. i will tinker with it and if i can get it rooted again i will try the above.
i really appreciate the help in any case!

You dont need root to flash a kdz its just tricking the program into thinking its an update.
