You still have root. There is no reason you lost it. As long as you meet all the specs all you gotta do is load up another rom and wipe and update.
Bestest (not a word) cupcake ROM, IMHO is cyanogen's 3.6.6. Bestest Hero ROM would either be cyrowski's or DrizzyJAc's
Hi i have a htc dream and rooted/flashed it to tmobile g1 with a hero rom. Now i'm selling the phone and would like to revert it back to my default rom as in how it was when i brought the phone.
how should i do about it?
Thanks!
I am guessing sense you have a hero rom you have Haykuro's spl, if you need to revert back to the orginal rom just go over to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592662 , jonzina has the step's to follow, just follow to the T and you will be fine.
there is also a walkthrough at www.cyanogenmod.com in the wiki
pretty simple process. flash the rc29 dream.nbh and wait for an OTA update to get you up to date pretty much. just follow the steps in the wiki.
the problem is, mine is a singtel set, its not a t-mobile g1, its a htc dream though now it becomes g1 after rooting and rom. i want to revert back to before. can i still use the dream.nbh?
Just a heads up, if you have the 1.33.2005 SPL required for Hero ROMs and you use DREAIMG.NHB to downgrade, you will brick.
To avoid that:
1) Wipe then flash a ROM that does *not* require 1.33.2005, (eg Cyanogen Mod)
2) Flash the stock SPL as update.zip
i'm so confused now =/
edit:how do i check spl ver?
With the phone powered off, press and hold the camera button and power, which will bring you into bootloader mode...if you were running a hero rom, you should have 3 androids on skateboards at the bottom of the screen (1.33.2005 SPL)...if so, do what AdrianK said
ok! but i still can use the DREAIMG.NHB from t-mobile? as mine is the not the t-mobile set, mine is a singtel htc dream. able to use the same method?
Some people WANT custom roms on their phone and are scared to do it themselves. Im recommending Cyanogens rom because its so fast and stable. If I were you I would post it as is, that way it stands out from the 100+ other G1 sellers.
If you don't see the response you were looking for just update it and reinstall the stock one.... just my 2 cents.
haha..how you know i'm selling.. you are right maybe i should try what you suggested. anyway how do i change roms? my current hero rom is the my one and only one.. likey to be out dated and laggy. last time follow guide to root and flash, what about updating? just dl rom and flash? haha

This kinda gave it away.. lol. I also had a hero rom and hated it because it was soooo slow. Just follow the directions here and it will boot up and work 100%

So...
You want to intentionally go OUT OF YOUR WAY to make it difficult for the buyer to be able to do what they want with it?
LEAVE AN ENGINEERING SPL ON IT!!!!
Install SPL version 1.33.2003 -- this is a full engineering SPL with original partition layout.
Then you head over to developer.htc.com/adp.html and grab the newest ADP1 firmware files. Flash that.
The thing will be root-via-adb and fastboot, so the new user will not have to do any weird hacks to get what he wants from the thing. At the same time, he will have a bone stock ROM on it that functions predictably.
Hello, I just bought a droid to use temporally after selling my thunderbolt. I noticed the phone is already rooted and running 2.3 gingerbread. There is no backup of the stock rom as there was no sd card.
My question is how do I unroot and go back to a completely stock rom? I want to do this then make a backup and then root again... Do I need a different radio since im on gingerbread now?
EDIT:NEVERMIND GOT IT!
hello. new to the forum. i've scoured the net for solutions but i haven't found anyt that applied directly to my situation and came here for help.
first off, im a bit new to the android world--being an iphone geek my whole life so here goes.
ive got a htc dream (g1) rooted running 2.3.4
Mod Version is COS-DS i wanted to test out. But i dont care for it and wanted to go back to an earlier version, maybe cyanogen 6.1 but that runs 2.2
i was wondering if it would be as simple as grabbing the 6.1 ROM and flashing it onto my phone from my sd card
my HBOOT version is 1.33.0013d
my Radio version is 2.22.27.08
I had 6.1 on my sd card and flashed the rom because i saw a video of someone else who had the same radio/hboot version as I and it was working so i thought it would be that simple, but when i flashed it i was caught in a bootloop at the G1 Tmobile screen.
Luckily i was able to recover, (i backed up my info using the Clockwork Recovery from Rom Manager)
Any ideas? Any are welcome. And once again my apologies for my blazing noobishness.
CM 6.1 is bootlooping due to your radio/SPL combination. You need a special kernel for this, which needs to be flashed on top on CM 6.1. Terry's kernel from the ezGingerbread thread should worl, I guess.
You can also downgrade your radio/SPL, but I do not suggest so, because you will lose the additional memory provided by that combination.
