Do I need to downgrade my firmware

Hey guys,
I have htc g1 and was wondering if I need to downgrade my firmware for installing cynogenmod 6
Information about phone:
Firmware version: 1.6
Baseband version 62.525.20.18H_2.22.20.23
Kernel version: [email protected])
Build number: dream-user 1.6 DRC83 14721 ota-rel-keys
Production team: www.HIAPK.com Ver 3.0_g1_ion
Cheers.

Yes, you do! You need to downgrade and root your G1.

Just found out that the phone has already been rooted. I typed su into terminal and I got to the next line with #. I guess it is rooted, yeah?

hmmmm.... im pretty sure if you have 1.6 than you are not rooted, is it DMD40? or you might just have a custom donut rom if you are rooted... anyway follow this guide

I am confused now. I have been reading this article:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...Firmware_to_CyanogenMod#Rooting_the_HTC_Dream
Do you reckon, I can just downgrade my phone by downloading RC29 (US) (since I have a T-Mobile G1), and skip the rooting step, and go to Installing a Custom Recovery Image step?
Your help is much appreciated.

well basically when you downgrade and install the custom recovery, that is considered rooting! but there so many good roms out now that if you follow the guide all the way to get the 28.25 radio and 0013d spl you can flash the latest and greatest roms

[Solved] Quick question regarding OTA & Kies

Hello, I know this question was asked by others before, but the answers are not clear and I still have some doubts.
My phone was on GB for stock rom. Updated it to ICS ( 4.0.4 DXLR5 ) thru Kies last year and recently updated my kernel to Philz's safe kernel ( PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR5-OLB-2.7 ) My phone was susceptible before I flashed Philz's kernel. Not sure about now, didn't check yet.
So here's my question, can I update my N7000 to ( 4.1.2 ) DXLSE official rom thru OTA or Kies? Is it safe or is there still a risk of bricking?
Please advice. TQ.
These are my previous data on eMMC:
[email protected]:/sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device # cat cid | cut -b 19,20
gives back: 19 (susceptible)
[email protected]:/sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device # cat name hwrev fwrev manfid oemid date type
gives:
Name: VYL00M
HwRev: 0x0
FwRev: 0x0 (not completely safe)
Manfid: 0x000015
Oemid: 0x0100
Date: 01/2012
Type: MMC

Yes you can upgrade via kies. OTA wont work as it needs stock kernel and recovery

Thank you for replying! But is it safe or risky to update it to JB?

JB is pretty safe.. alteast safer than ICS. Your call

Sorry, I think my question misled you. What I meant was, will it be safe for me to do the upgrade? Are the risks of triggering the eMMC brick high?

no... kies and odin upgrades are pretty safe

[Q] Reflash Stock Bootlaoder

First Spec's;
HTC ONE SV
Android version: 4.0.4
Software number 1.17.61.7
HTC Extension version: HTCExtension_403_1_GA_28
Kernel version: 3.0.21-g1c7e7c5 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
Baseband version: 0.12.40.00.14_2_10.49.40.11L
Build number: 1.17.61.7 CL137060 release-keys
Network T-Mobile
CIDrang001
Story: After getting my new HTC I wanted to flash a CM Rom as I had it on my last Phone and loved it. So first I unlocked the bootloader, all was well Bootloader said unloaded at the top. Next went to flash CWM, and THEN ... ... ... OH NOOOO, Instand of typing the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-ville.img
I typed
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-ville.img
supprised the phone had not bricked the only difference, Bootloader now said TAMPERED above UNLOCKED. After putting in the new command and going to Recovery CMW did not load, Just got a HTC screen about not to sell this phone because it is a developer phone. The phone then Rebooted into the normal OS. After some researching and seeing that factory reset no longer works, I've come to the concludion that it must be the bootloader. So go after the RUU. I go to the htc site for RUU's. Search for ONE SV can't find T-mobile UK decide to download one to have a look. Extrack zip file only to find a read me and .tar.gz no exe. Extract gz and tar only to find source code with make files.
Why is my CID orang001 when the network is Tmobile in the UK?
Can I get a the RUU for this phone?
How do I run a RUU with no exe? Can u make an exe with GCC?
Can I install CWM some other way and or Restock my phone?

Hi there,
As there's no specific forum for your device, you'll need to post your question in the Question & Answer forum.
It won't do much good here in the HTC One (M7) Forum considering it's a different phone

[Q] Purchased HTC One on CL: Appears to be rooted

Hi. Forgive my ignorance - I have little experience with rooting / custom roms etc. I purchased this phone, did th standard fatory reset procedure via settings. However upom reboot there was a message in red text saying this was a test device and that reporting to htc could not be turned off. Also there is an app calles super su installer on the phone which i cannot uninstall.
How can i tell what needs to be done to get back to pure factory settings before i activate this phone? I did install root checker and it says fukl root access is not setup currently. Other info:
settings -> software info:
Android version : 4. 1.2
sense: 5.0
htc sdk api: 5.1.2
kernel version : 3.4.10-g3adc80e
[email protected]
Smp preempt
baseband: 1.00.20.0315
build number: 1.29.651.10 CL 166937 release keys

Easiest method is to install HTC drivers and download most recent HTC RUU from HTC's website for the carrier it is branded for.

[Q] Want to remove TWRP and unroot

I apologize in advance if I should have posted this in a different area. Im not the best with that stuff.
As the title says, I want to remove TWRP and unroot my device. And yes I know there are many threads on this topic already, however none of them seem to actually get the job done. I have the Harmon Kardon edition for Sprint and I have been wanting to install this Lollipop update I got today.
So far, I have tried to use the RUU that a lot of tutorials seem to swear on, but when I start the process, it says that its not the correct version for my phone! (even though the tutorials say its for the harmon kardon eidtion)
Ive also used theUnlockrs tutorial and got stuck when there was no download for my CID number listed on the other xda developer post.
I then tried this tutorial and also couldnt find the correct files for my phone.
Heres what Im not understanding:
This isnt the first time I have rooted this device and unrooted it. I actually did this about 7 or 8 months ago and had no problem. Since then, I have removed all files and downloads that I used. SO WHY is everything wrong now? What am I doing wrong?
IF someone has the information I need to fix this problem, could you please help me? I just want lollipop!
Thank you,
sheer

Edit - wrong forum, and your problem is googleable.

yeah you say that, but apparently it isnt. Thats why I was looking for extra help..

Flash a stock rom.
Re-lock bootloader.
Flash stock recovery.
Take OTA.
Profit.
Side note it's not a good idea to wander outside the Sprint section because most threads refer to GSM devices.
