Hi guys,
I'm trying to help a friend with upgrading the OS on his T-Mobile G1. Right now his phone is running the original Donut 1.6 which is rooted.
In "fastboot" mode he can see the following info:
CPLD-4
SPL/hboot 0.95.0000
radio 1.22.12.99
Ideally I'd like to upgrade his phone to Gingerbread, what ROM version is recommended? Any radio/SPL upgrades needed?
Thanks!
a friend did mine, but I have been reading stuff ( he gave me a list of things to read lol )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
that will upgrade the radio/spl ( giving you extra 15mb ram )
google Firerat magpie , but that is only CM6.1 aka Froyo ( but supports the new radio automatically )
for Gingerbread , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882356
that has autokernel like the CM6 Magpie , but it is GingerBread
you will want the ADS or Firerat versions if you want a2sd
or use Firerat's AIO script http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679572
And like Mike says, read everything by ezterry, firerat AndDisa and you will learn things
Hi Effdee,
Thanks for your replay...was very helpful. Phone is upgraded to GB now.

Hey guys i've got a simple question for you all. The question is, that are G1 roms compatible with the HTC Magic (32b). The reason i ask is because i just installed CyanogenMod 7.0.1 unofficial (SlashDW) rom on my phone, and it works perfectly fine.
Also, when you see roms in Rom Manager, they say for Sapphire/Dream G1 so i'm thinking, that it must be compatible. Also the roms which i see in rom manager, when i try to search them here, they all come under the g1 development sub board, so this leads me to think my theory is correct.
If i am correct, how are we meant to know, whether the rom is for 32b or 32a? or does it not matter? Sorry if they're simple questions, but i just flashed my first rom today so don't have much experience.
Anyways thanks for your help in advance.
depends on the rom... if it has auto-kernel or just a magic kernel than it will work for you... it's Ebi0 or Ebi1...
Thanks for the reply but please could you elaborate a little more, as i still don't understand fully. Cheers .
In the magic section they are generally specified by radio and if they are 32a or 32b. You just need to look at the title of the thread or the OP will normally tell you when you read it.
This will work on both
Ginger yoshi 1.4 (android 2.3.5) for 32b and 32a old and new radio
And this will only work with the NR (New Radio 6.32.13.19) which is not compatible with the G1
(ROM)CM7.1(2.3.5)Sapphire32a(NR-6.35.16.19)
While this one is only good for Old Radio's and 32A
[ROM][32A][6.35] CGX-Magic 1.0.4 (Android 2.3.5) 5 September 2011

This page will tell you the differences in the Magic 32A/B, and how to tell which you have. The HTC Dream/T-mobile G1 uses the same 32B board as some Magics.
As the two boards are very similar, many newer ROMs are built to use an installation script to auto-detect which kernel to use (the boot.img), but the rest of the system will be identical. In the descriptions for the ROM, look for words like "auto kernel" or "EBI0/EBI1".
I recommend the Bananna Bread rom. Works with mine Flawlessly amazing, and based on CM i think
who helps?
Hello! My name is Kevin, but you can call me SMOR3S.. I am a nerd, brony, musician, artist, and erm... an excellent cookie maker :3
I recently got a new phone from my friend Joseph.. The Google G1 (HTC Dream).. It was free, so I couldn't complain at all... In the past, I have owned a few droids like the Motorola Cliq XT, and the LG Thrive, which honestly weren't anything special.. I already bought an unlock code for my AT&T prepaid SIM card, so that is taken care of.. I'll get into the system specs, like OS version, then I'll ask some questions...
Model: Google G1 (HTC Dream)
OS: CyanogenMod
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-6.1.0-DS
OS Version: 2.2.1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.9-cyanogenmod [email protected] #2
Baseband Version: 62.50SC.20.17U_2.22.23.02
Build Number: FRG83
Okay.. That does it for the specs I think..
Joseph put this version of Android on before he shipped it out.. I'm not the best when it comes to droid modding, since I never touched my other phones before, but I would like to learn, and I would like to make my Google G1 a bit speedier..
I have a 4GB Micro SD, with everything, that I could, moved to it.. Joseph also said, that he made a second partition, and moved something to it.. I forget what he said, but he said it made the OS faster erm... He works in a Linux server facility that does things like asp.net, so I don't doubt his expertise..
My question is... What things could I possibly do to my droid, that could speed it up more.. I already looked into OCing programs, but the ones I have found, don't support my phone..
Process load time is a bit slow also.. Like using Facebook, Dolphin, TweetDeck etc... I don't have anything, other than 6 apps, on the main desktop windows..
Thanks...
Sorry if my terminology isn't the best..

ok cool your friend obviously knew what he was doing as he basically gave you an already perfectly modded phone well there are lots you could do but as said most of these include changing roms now those spects i asked you for they determin what kind of roms you can use there are lots of roms developed on here in the g1 android developmentsection.the first thing you might want to do tho is upgrade that RADIO AND HBOOT as there are now newer versions you have alot to learn but here is a lil push.
the first thing you should know is BE VERY CAREFULL DOING STUFF ESPEIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO THAT HBOOT.
you want to install a recovery you will need to know about android sdk(just a program you will use to use a computer to interact with the phone google and download it where he talks about fastboot or adb it is included in the android sdk program) amon ra recovery
here is a rom that dosnt need you to mess with that hboot cron mod rom
btw i asummed you had a rooted phone meaning it gives you full access to file system if you dont just get it via a program named superoneclick

Thank you so much.. I really want to mod my phone, like I do computers, so I am whiling to learn, all that there is to learn.. The phone is already rooted, and I have access to "Superuser", but should I unroot the phone, and re-root it, via SuperOneClick?

Oh sorry... I need to read better :3
*EDIT* So I put the RA v1.7.0 Recovery on... I am still in need of updating my radio before I flash the ROM to CronMod 1.0.6.
This thread about CronMod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641692), says, that I can have either the HBOOT as version, 1.33.2005, or 1.33.0013d. I currently have 1.33.2005, but should I update it to 1.33.0013d?. Also, what radio should I update to, cause my current radio is 2.22.23.02.
Thanks,

read up on ezterrys thread on the ram hack 2708+ update, make sure you read the whole op first as changing firmwares can result in a brick
just search the first few pages of the developers thread and you'll find it

Link, and did you read my post thoroughly?
yes I did, the thread I am refurring to will give you the .13d hboot which will give you 14mb more ram, this is HUGE for the g1 and would recommend doing this. just be carefull as playing with firmware (radio, spl) can cause a brick if you don't know what you need.
yes you can use the radio/spl you have now as it will still work with many roms, if you would like more (and in my opinion) better rom choices then I suggest changing your spl, not saying cronmod is bad, its quite good, but better with the ram hack and many other nice roms are only avalible to you with the .13d spl

So after i've just made an account and watched the i'm a noob video i thought this was a good place to ask the same question as the OP.
including some additional information and having a different setup:
So i've been reading topics in the G1 section all day, as well as googling and trying the cyanogen wiki(the G1 topics are gone ) and i've noticed most of the information in this forum was noted as: OUTDATED DO NOT TRY and or DOWNLOAD HERE with no actual files present.
This is my second attempt to actually dig into custom roms. (first time i got stuck on the rooting.... and well, 2 years ago i didn't think i would dare to continue but the current status is if it breaks i'll buy a new phone) however i'm attached to thisone and if i can have WhatsApp to be running on this mobile thats 100% my favorite option
So i found this really awesome root-tool (without the goldcardstuff required)
http://blog.23corner.com/tag/universalandroot/
but, whats the next step. apearently you can already get android 4.1 for the G1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29967613
That sounds nice, but i don't think it will be usefull.
So my actual question would be:
What do i really need to upgrade to a new ROM?
I've read a lot of roms will require you to upgrade the RADIO and STL and repartition the SD card etc etc but i'm not sure where to start looking.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301379
the absolute noob howto begin with custom roms contains links to megaupload (down obviously) so thats out of the window.
my current status:
rooted T-Mobile G1 (imported from germany so weird keyboardlayout (and i've seen a topic a while back on howto fix the layout but not sure if i can refind it or if the files are available for download) )

What and where do i need to download/follow in order to upgrade my mobile in order to run a new ROM.
In my mind, it makes sence to take the oldest androidbuild witch has 2.1(so i can run Whatsapp) and well it will probably take less resources then 4.1?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364611
is it a good idea to take this rom? or would you suggest to take a newer version and if so wich rom should i pick and what do i need to do/download to get the RADIO and DANGERSTL to the correct versions?
Sorry for double posting, but i dug up some more info and questions maybe my new questions (and hopefully future reply's) will help the OP as well.
Makes me feel a bit more secure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655097 still not sure what to do in order to get a new ROM, and I would still like to know what is important to look for, I found this ROM bible http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668090 wich ranks the roms for speed and stability etc… but I still don’t really know why I should pick a specific one… http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622613 thisone seems to score nicely 5/5/4/5/2/5 also:
What do the DANGER SPL and RADIO upgrades meen/do actually?
Should I pick the direct matching ones, or is higher better?
Where do i get the correct upgrades anyone got some downloadlinks that actually work?
--
just noticed there WAS a downloadlink hidden in plainsight: http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/ would this work for my G1?? (since G1 and Dream where supposed to be the same thing? i'd just rather doublecheck before trying and failing)
--
after more re-reading and feeling confused about all the numbers i just noticed my radio number matches, but i have no clue about where to find what version of SPL i have... i did find this new page: http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/SPL wich mentions 3 versions for the SPL but again with yet a new name, where do you find what SPL you have? apearently i need DANGER SPL, but i don't know where i can find out what version i currently have...
--
found it:
G1 Original SPL
VER: HBOOT-0.95.0000 << apearently i have the original SPL, so the instructions tell me to update the RADIO FIRST then SPL, but my RADIO matches the number already ... still need to do that step then before upgrading to DANGER SPL?
Same Boat
Jan-N.. Hello buddy, I'm feeling your exact pain. I've rooted my G1 but looking to flash an updated ROM, so that I can upgrade it for my daughter to use (need to upgrade to put Cerberus Anti-Theft on it - for extra piece of mind). I've rooted and flashed so many phones now, but oh my god, this is such a pain to get sorted. I have the exact same details as your phone has... HBOOT, RADIO etc. I'm determined to get it sorted tonight though, and will let you know if I get anywhere. Let me know if you managed to get anywhere too.
UPDATE
..... gave up
Re: [Q] no working links to upgrade g1.
New links are up with a half complete guide in the general section, have a look
The rest should be finished soon
