Just rooted my G1 to RC-29

I just got a G1 and I rooted it to RC-29.
I'm very new to any of this hacking stuff and I have no idea what to do next. My guess is that I need to update to RC-33 and/or firmware 1.5? Along with installing the multi touch and things like that...?
I've read up on some information and JesusFrekes or something like that used to have a lot of updates for the rooted G1, unfortunately all the download links on his site don't work so I have no idea where to go from here... Can anyone tell me what I should do?

look in androidandme.com or google rc-33 and g1 rooting and stuff, idk

If you have root now, you can flash the newest cyanogen rom. check out the cyanogen thread in dream development. JF isn't updating roms anymore. Without danger/death/haykuro special spl (search it in these forums), and seeing as how you are new to this I suggest cyanogen ROMS are your best bet Also check out www.cyanogenmod.com and the cyanogenmod wiki.

Depends... do you want a modded-roooted ROM or do you want an official update?

hi there. i highly suggest that you follow previously posted suggestions. as you can see, this is my very first message to post on this forum and i have been a member for over 2 years. i have had my dream/G1 for almost a year now. in that time span, i have gained root access, flashed a couple of haykuro's builds, flashed jesusfreke's ROM, disappeared for awhile, came back, couldn't find jesusfreke anymore. after doing some research, i discovered the genius cyanogen and flashed his ROM, and then another, and then another, until i am finally currently running the 4.2.2 version. i did all of this without knowing a thing about linux and without any hacking or programming skills. i did all of this simply by reading, researching, reading, googling, reading, reading, and more reading. i promise you, everything that you need to know - guides for noobs with step by step instructions - are here in this forum. once you find these guides, try them them out, step by step. if you hit a snag, or something goes wrong, re-read the instructions to make sure you followed them exactly. if you think you did, search for the error that you stumbled upon. i'm going to go out on a limb and say that i'm 100% positive that someone else has had the same problem and it has already been solved and someone else has probably written a guide for the next noob to read once he/she comes across the same error. but he/she just has to find said guide! once you search and find this guide, follow the instructions, if you do not understand something or simply cannot, i mean simply cannot find an answer or help to solve your problem, then i suggest you resort to asking a question. but, only as a last resort.
but, it has been my personal experience that everything i have needed has been either at this forum or found through google search. these developers have not only made me love my phone once again by developing such sweet ROMs, but they even wrote up some very easy to follow guides for the newbies so even we can enjoy them too!
so: research, read, follow instructions exactly as they say, only ask questions if you seriously cannot find the answer after doing some serious serious research, then proceed to flash your phone. hell...if this math lovin' accountant girl here can do it, i'm sure anyone can! but only after hours and hours and pages and pages of reading and researching.

[Q] New to custom roms

Hi all and a special thanks to Paul for his work on the O2X.
My previous phone was a HTC Desire, and with a great video guide I was able to put the Defrost ROM on it (Very easy), witch was the best thing I had ever done to the Phone.
So of cause I really want to do the same with my O2X.
I have read all threads in this forum, and I'm ready to put on a custom ROM on my O2X.
But is it to soon if I'm looking for a stable version?
And when I read this tread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007863
And read something like this "READ THESE CAREFULLY!", I'm getting nervous that I might do something wrong and ruin my new Phone.
Would i be possible for someone to just list each step I need to do to get a working custom ROM on my phone?
Some thing like this, or maybe someone with some spare time could make a cool youtube video going through the steps?
Something like this:
Root the phone (Link)
Do something (Link)
...
...
All done!

Just do as the guide for the custom rom says... If you read carefully and follow the steps provided you're safe. Flash recovery first...

I asked this question over at Modaco... http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-optimus-2x-2x-modaco-com/336019/root-before-recovery/
Paul gave me a short guide which was helpful, and the ROM thread gives step by step guide...... BTW this should be in the General section not development!

I will try tonight, and follow the guides and hopefully get it to work without make any damage to the phone

[Q] Interested in rooting and flashing a custom ROM for the LGOB. [Q]

Hello guys, as you can see I am new to the forum and new to android in general. [Used to be an iOS fanboy] I have recently acquired an LG Optimus Black but i'm unhappy with the stock ROM provided by LG.
I have a few questions:
1) What are my options for rooting the device?
2) Once rooted, what custom ROMs are currently available for the device?
3) If I flash a new ROM is it possible and what would I need to have/do to restore the device back to the stock ROM?
And lastly...
4) What is the chance of fully bricking the device and what are my options if the device gets bricked?
Thanks a lot, [Hope this was the right section and hasn't been asked before...]

All was asked and ANSWERED before. Move your a** and search for it.

I have searched actually. The questions that have been answered aren't specific to my situation and I know that small details are very important when flashing phones. If you aren't answering the question I guess what you posted would be considered spam?

Guys,
Please refrain from bickering, two ways this can be easily resolved:
1. Use google search with the word xda in it to find your answer
2. Rather than posting move your a** and find it, if you know the link or answer, why not help a brother out?
I will say no more on the matter, its that simple.
THanks.

No point arguing..if you don't wanna help just ignore.
If you wanna reply, make sure it helps others.
1) What options? It's either you root or you don't. Either way, your phone works.
2) Currently there's only NOVA Rom by knzo.
3) Read this thread here.
4) Chances of bricking are slim if you read before attempting anything. If in any case your phone is bricked (boot loop), refer to the above.
Hope it helps.
Welcome to the Android community

Thank you very much for the very active response and information.... I am also studying these issues.

Exactly what I needed, thanks a lot!

I've heard a lot of the current roots don't work for the OB?
And is NOVA the ONLY ROM at the moment, I thought I heard about another one?

Older firmwares, you can use Gingerbreak. If it doesn't work, then most probably you're on the newer firmwares. Then use SuperOneClick.
The other one is Pays ROM. It's been abandoned.
It needs v10b Firmware to run. If you're not familiar, stick to Nova ROM.
Cyanogenmod is in progress (i hope so)

You will find more precise infos in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425240Lucastan96's/sgt. meow FAQ/list (only dedicated to X8/W8!)
[SIZE=+1]Q1: Why ONE only FAQ for theses 3 (4) devices ?[/SIZE]Because theses devices have really similar hardware, and work in the same way.
x8/w8 are one device (only renamed) and is MDPI.
x10mini and minipro are LDPI the PRO has an hardware keyboard that the x10mini doesn't have.​ [SIZE=+1]Q2: Why is there many names for theses devices?[/SIZE]There are 3 names for each devices :
The commercial, the number, and the name used by cyanogenmod:
X8/W8 is known as e15 or Shakira
X10mini is known as e10 or Robyn
X10miniPRO is known as u20 or Mimmi​ [SIZE=+1]Q3: Where can i find my device specific help and informations?[/SIZE]For X8/W8 : here
There is currently no similar up-to-date thread for x10mini/pro​
[SIZE=+1]Q4: How to root?[/SIZE]There are many ways, one of them for X8 are using x8toolbox, or by flashtool and with superoneclick.​ [SIZE=+1]Q5: What is a recovery?[/SIZE]A recovery is a small system that allows you to install roms, backup, restore, and many other things.
In order to install your first rom you will need cwm.
If you unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel cwm recovery is included so you don't need to do anything,
if you can't unlock your bootloader (or don't want) that means you are on stock kernel and you have to install it. Some ways to do it is by x8toolbox (for X8) or manually.
You may have seen the name xrecovery, this is an old and outdated recovery. Most roms need cwm and not xrecovery, you can always check the installation instructions of the rom that you want to install.​ [SIZE=+1]Q6: How to unlock bootloader?[/SIZE]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225​ [SIZE=+1]Q7: How to flash a rom?[/SIZE]Always read the installation instructions of the rom you want to flash. They might be different from a rom to another, refer to "fresh install" if want to know more.​ [SIZE=+1]Q8: How to revive my (soft)bricked device?[/SIZE]For X8.
For X10mini and X10miniPRO (link pending)​ [SIZE=+1]Q9: What is the best rom/kernel/theme/etc?[/SIZE]This is not questio should ask, backup, try and roll back ​ [SIZE=+1]Q10: Backups, what are they?[/SIZE]Backups are something like a picture of your current state, to which you could roll back in case of install/flash/testing failure
they helps you not to lose your settings, apps,data... but may create bug if you restore /data you used with one rom after the install of one other.
More info by stamatis.​ [SIZE=+1]Q11: What is a "fresh install" [/SIZE]This is when you install a new rom, after having all your data/apps deleted, that means :
in ClockWorkMod (CWM) recovery you did the following before installing :
formatting /cache, /data and /system
for a non-fresh install but to void some issue, you should
format /cache, /system and wipe dalvi-cache before installing a rom update (don't forget to install gapps too)​ [SIZE=+1]Q12: What is a baseband and its number?[/SIZE]Baseband is part of pre-software of your device, it allows you to connect to network and some other things
You can check your baseband number in settings>about phone.
In order to install a custom rom you MUST have the baseband ending with 015. If you don't have it then you can update with pccompanion, SEUS or flashtool by flashing the generic stock .ftf for 2.1 eclair. (take care you flash the correct stock rom specific to your device )​ [SIZE=+1]QXXX: Where can i find MiniCM range specific FAQ threads ?[/SIZE]

Why camera pics are better on minicm10 than minicm7?
Sent from my E15i using xda app-developers app

@up
Probably because of the extra PMEM given to camera in CM10 (I can't tell for sure though).
And @mat
Wouldn't it be better to just merge this thread and lucastan96's other thread together and include new info? I could help with that and it would be far better than having two threads to server the same purpose. Lemme know what you think about it.

i would agree with you, but in fact his thread (and my MiniCM miniFAQs too) is extremely detailed, and hard to read for people that don't know the device or is new to the forum,
the aim of this (and all others) RC-FAQ is to be short, redirecting to where further infos are, and to be standard and looking like any other RC-FAQ for easy reading:
PG101 said:
The whole idea of consistency is that we are giving out the information in a similar way and users can expect same standards across.
Many of us keep changing phones, and users will know where to find answers if they know that the FAQs follow the same format..
Its like me when I travel overseas, when in doubt, I eat McDonalds, as good or bad the burgers maybe, I know I am getting the same thing at least
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
editing an existing FAQ to get it in the "new recommended way" is really hard, and setting up a new one is easier
this new FAQ should look like these :
galaxy mini
Xperia play
...

Cool. So let's try this.
You keep the FAQ short, while I keep mine a bit more detailed.
Users can ask questions in my thread or yours.
Your opinion on this will be appreciated.
My thread = Lucastan96's thread because he won't be around as frequently as before.

right,
i'll write at top of the post to refer to your FAQ for more precises info, this one is not meant to be precise, just to guide users
users should better ask in your FAQ for general Q, or in the MiniCM dedicated FAQs (for Q related to theses roms)
this FAQ is not a place for people to ask (in the way the RC-FAQs have been imagined)
the aim was to create a short RC-FAQ, and that each dev make one dedicated to their own roms

I will give you some suggestions, of course my post is not a guide, i leave the writing part to you, if you want me to write full answers though im willing to do it, but i guess you want the faq to have your personal touch.

Why did you add the answers exactly from my post?
You can add this as well.I think a good place is below the "How to root".
What about recovery?
In order to install your first rom you will need cwm. If you unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel cwm recovery is included so you dont need to do anything, if you can't unlock your bootloader that means you are on stock kernel and you have to install it. Some ways to do it is by x8toolbox, manualy, by flashtool(?), by the app(?) (im not 100% sure about the last two as i have never used them but i think some users have reffered that they work)
You may have seen the the name xrecovery, this is an old and outdated recovery. Most roms need cwm and not xrecovery, you can always check the installation instructions of the rom that you want to install.

I don't know this ROM, but the way of installation is for all CustomRoms the same.
Look in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400123
The same principle is valid for your ROM.
Works also if you are using TWRP instead of CWM.
If it is the first time that you try to install a custom Rom, you should be carefull, read the whole thread to learn about the procedure!
