ROM closest to stock 1.6 but with root?

My G1 is running latest CM, was rooted ages ago using JF method, now running latest CMRecovery.
I want to go back to the stock donut 1.6, ideally the UK T-Mobile one, but I want to keep root.
The only ROMs I can find are either highly tweaked (e.g. CM, TheOfficial etc) or the stock update from T-Mobile which removes root.
Is there something inbetween?
Or is it straightforward to install the official 1.6 and do something to 'root it' in place, given that I still have the JF SPL and CM recovery?
Actually I am assuming that installing the stock from TMO will not replace my SPL or recovery!?

Well, the stock ADP1v1.6 firmware is 1.6 with root.
Enomther's "The official" -- rooted base is exactly the same as stock ADP1v1.6, but with the community root-app for added flexibility -- you don't need to install the expansion pack if you don't like.

And FYI: Enomther's expansion pack is very flexible. Mainly just adds a few critical things, like apps2sd, iptables, and tethering components.

Ah okey, I thought Enomther's base included tweaks like apps2sd, overclocking, multitouch etc. a re-read shows that stuff's in the expansion. So base is what I want!
Thanks!
I've got a NexusOne so am selling my G1. Wanted to advertise it as 'rooted' but keep things as close to TMobile UK standard as possible. The lucky new owner is welcome to add the expansion if they wish, or change to some other ROM.

Flashing with Donut Super Fast

I read the root guide yesterday and did everything right, but I am currently flashed to 1.4, the same one linked at the end of the tutorial thread. Most apps in Market aren't there (not compatible) and it looks older. What do I do to flash to a newer one? I was wanting to go to Donut SuperFast 1.6 but I read it requires Death SPL. Am I alright using Hard SPL?
If so, what do I do? Just wipe, then flash the 1.6 over the 1.4?
Thanks

[Q] Easiest, Safest path to CM6?

Hi everyone.
I recently bricked a G1 via Danger SPL and bought a new one. I'm merely a developer testing my games on the G1 however I'd like to have multi-touch functionality as well as 2.2 support, but I don't want to brick it. I'm on 1.6 right now.
What is the easiest way to root and then flash to CM6? I tried searching and only found old tutorials that said different things and I don't want to screw around, I just want CM6 running asap and not another brick.
Thanks!

I'm pretty sure you don't need the danger spl to run cm6 it says danger came out before the g2 I have ran cm without the danger spl theunlockr.com has an easy way to root the phone it also walks you through how to install the rom.

You could just use the ROM bible in the G1 forum. It's really simple and I just rooted and flashed my G1 yesterday. If you need any help just pm me and I'll gladly you give any advice I know.

download universal androot from the market (or find the .apk online) and install it. It will root the phone without any trouble. Then use the terminal to flash a custom recovery.
Finally, flash the danger spl correctly this time or use firerat's mtd patch to install cm 6

Post above says I don't need Danger SPL?
What is FireRat's mtd?
Could someone link me to a direct tutorial for all of this?
It'd be awesome if I could get step-by-step on:
Flashing Clockwork Recovery
Safely Flashing CM6.
Will CM6 work without DangerSPL?
Are there other Froyo alternatives that are easier to get to?
Also, an easy way to alternate between 1.5 and 2.2 would be great. Something as simple as flashing a ZIP to get back to 1.5, then flashing a ZIP to get back to 2.2.

[Q] CyanogenMod Install Question

I was looking through the wiki on installing CyanogenMod and I noticed that you're supposed to flash a radio on your phone in the guide. Do I have to do this in ClockworkMod? I used regaw's hero rooter to root my hero, and it flashed Clockworkmod for me.
My baseband is currently 2.42.01.04.27, the one the guide mentioned is 2.42.02.10.29.
Does it matter if I flash a new radio to go along with this or can I just stick with the one I'm on now?

I don't actually know if you need to flash the radio, but if the wiki said so, you should. I've had that .29 radio since it came out, and the best info I can tell you is that the new radio gave me much better reception and therefore better battery life. Yes you can flash it in recovery, assuming you have the flashable zip, it shouldn't matter what recovery you have.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the newest CM7 and aospCMod do not support anything but the newest .29 radio. And as posted above, it will likely improve your signal, so upgrading would be beneficial anyway. Yes you should be able to flash it from any recovery.
Here's the post that contains the download for the newest .29 radio:

[Q] I need some advice on updating my G1.

So I just picked up an original T-Mobile branded G1. It's got the stock 1.6 firmware on it now. I would like to try running 2.2 on it but I have absolutely no idea how to go about it.
So far I have determined that there are more flavours to choose from than at a baskin robbins. I'm also completely lost when it comes to radios, kernals, bootloaders and other things expressed as three letter acronyms.
Could anyone suggest a good solid 2.2 firmware and the specific supporting bits and pieces I will need to make it work? I really want to see this phone shine.

Like everything else, read the development forum on the ROM. Do a research on what each ROM will do. Some ROM needs a specific SPL (HBOOT) and radio in order for it to work properly. As you already know (from your post) there are many different flavor of ROMs. Some deal with speed, and performance. Other deal with functionality of the apps. Most of them if not all are on 2.3 at this point.
You will have to sit down and read the instruction once you decided which ROM you wants.
Most everyone love Gingerbread series (specifically Gingerbread Yoshi and ezGingerbread).
I, myself, started with CM 6.0.0 RC1 (2.2) and after it crashed on me I end up loading SuperAosp DM 2.8.2 (with 2.3 on it) with the recommendation by one of the member here. It is fast performance, and that what I need.
So, you'll have to decide what you want to do with your G1 before you flash it with a custom ROM.

I have done this, this week end.
Here there is a post about the ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4647751&postcount=1
and this one for the radio i find

i suggest you to do a Nandroid backup before, and format your SDCARD ( i didnt done this, but i read about some problems to install the rom) and you will reboot your device after changing Recovery and After flashing the rom. and htc logo take a while befor showing cyanogem mod.
tell here if you find problems

So everyone says good things about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811620. It seems a good place to start. But I'm still a n00b. What, precisely, do I need to do with my bone stock (But unlocked) G1 to install it? Do I need to root it first?
"If you refuse to upgrade or can't upgrade because you have a 32a (1.2 or classic) device: you will need an alternative kernel as described in step 4.b 4.c or the phone will not boot
Note: 2.22.27.08 will also work but is not how the ota was shipped
* Uesrs of other SPLs can either use Danger (dream only), any sapphire SPL on the magic/sapphire/MT3G or alternatively Custom MTD I recommend "87 2" (system/cache) {as of test3 06bindcache will work if you install the parts package, thus if you use CustomMTD parts is mandatory to avoid market issues} "
Does that just mean I need http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139? Then why does it say "Please note this includes my 20101106 - 2708 ported kernel"
What is an SPL? What's this about Danger? What's fastboot?
I'm much better with a soldering iron than software.

You will need to root your phone, if you want to flash custom ROM. Unlocking it is just so you can use it on other network.
BTW! I was a noob at this probably a week or so ago, when I first started to work on upgrading my G1. Now I am learning the rope and helping others.
