How can I tell if the phone IS rooted. I think it is. But I have no idea. Not to mention. I am now looking at new ROMS, and there is just so much information in there I dont understand. I cant even find a FAQ about stuff like that. There are ROMS that are telling me to check the Radio, and to make sure I have a swap file setup and so on... I am totally lost.

Could anyone point me in the right direction? Starting with... HOW do I tell that I am rooted.

Well after some poking around I have found out the following

HSPL 10.95.3000

Radio 1.22.12.29

Does that tell anyone anything?
[G1 Android Development] Casnapper:
Sure that was how I did mine worked just fine.
[G1 Android Development] ovakoly:
O'k. I have now rooted phone. It's 1.6 Dev but I can't run WiFi Tether :( and when I tried to tap in application Superuser permission nothing happened. :( what I'm doing wrong?
[G1 Android Development] shinshinobiden:
Newbie

I am very new in this things, I just have 2 days with a G1 and I look for information and I found a lot. I root the phone already but I have some fear about Putting DangerSLP because I alread put a HardSLP. I dont know If there is a complicatin in that. So I want to boot to the newest rom 5.08 but I dont want to brick my phone. I also have the G1 in RC29 with Radio 2something26i. Please Help and thanks for share your knowledge with us I will pay the favor one day and maybe in cash hehehe!
[G1 Android Development] rrstx:
per the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=443041 I need to have SU in order to place the test keys. As I stated in my post, I did read the instructions and followed them to the T, at least 4 times. But when I tried to follow JF's instructions, I was unable to get to SU.
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
pretty much in the same boat, trying to do the recovery images, i can adb shell, but once i hit su (from my pc's cmd box) i get access denied. ive reloaded this build about 3 times now, i type telnetd and enter after i reboot, nothing happens, i load telnet app, connect to localhost (doesnt always work), bah. i miss the days of modding winmo devices, no fuss, just bootloader mode, then install, amazing that this is so much more difficult considering its supposed to be an OPEN OS :)
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Start the telnetd and perform the steps using the Telnet client (get from Market or Koush' site) minus the su step. There are many ways to skin the cat. It's not intuitive because this isn't preschool computing.
[G1 Android Development] diabolical28:
once u get root and keep root and install the dev boot loader it will be just as easy but it is getting to the point.

im stuck on deciphering some of the wiki's from rifts page.... on how to do things... i got root got busybox installed but couldnt port fwd it.... so i thought will ill goto jf v1.x

btw i think i read jf 1.3 is the ADP origional package without gmail or im or market correct? so ill prolly have to go with 1.2 right...
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
All JFv1.3 builds include GMail, IM and Market. The apps missing from the original ADP build are Voice Dialing and Amazon MP3 Store, and JF has patched them both back into the JFv1.3 ADP1 build.
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
yeah but that fails because:

C:\Documents and Settings\****\Desktop\temp\mod>adb shell

$ su

su

su: permission denied

$ mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

mount: Operation not permitted

so you cant just ignore SU, if i do id on telnet (on phone) says root.
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
I don't even know why you're trying to use adb when I just told you to use the Telnet client. Either get it here or from the Market. Start telnetd on G1 and then connect to localhost using the Telnet.apk. You are now root. Now you can perform the required steps to install recovery. If the prompt is $, then type su (while you are in the Telnet client) to elevate to #. There will be no permission denied because the console that started the telnet daemon executes at root privs.
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
not found error when i try su in telnet

tried command anyway, basically told me syntax was wrong
[G1 Android Development] dc120:
Worked as it should!

Had RC30. Worked as it should!

Notes:

Tried with SD formatted FAT, Did not work. Had to be formatted FAT32 like you said. I formatted the sd card in windows, via g1 plugged in usb.

Soft Reset - Removing Battery? Only way I knew to reboot. Then Held Home and Red(Hang Up) button for about 20 secs to power phone back on and to perform software wipe and reset(factory reset). Once at yellow triangle screen press on keyboard.

Alt+W - Wipe data/factory reset - (Out of Box reset need to re-register.)

I can telnet to my phone now. THANKS GUYS!

/rant

I'm aware this is not preschool computing, I've been a programmer for over 12 years, so I'm not an idiot when it comes to computers. Although I will admit that I am unfamiliar with Unix and all of it's derivatives. Irrespective, the implication that I am unable to understand instructions should not lead to insults. /end rant
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
agreed, i sit here bored (slow day) at my sys/network admin job as i try and sort this out :)
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
One of my close friends is a sys admin at Stanford. I'm pretty sure he just spends his entire work day playing games on Kongregate and downloading iPhone warez. No lie.

In any case, is the prompt in telnet an elevated one? (#)
[G1 Android Development] rrstx:
the reason we are trying to use adb is because when you follow JF's instructions, it says to. Also, I used the telnet client to attempt setting up the keys and it looked like the upgrade to the ADP1 was successfull, but when I tried to reboot, the phone got stuck on the ANDROID screen with the android logo. It stayed there at least 30 minutes before I decided to re-install the RC29 update again.
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
yeah, so for instance it shows this # #

maybe only supposed to show one?

but if i put in the whole mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system command

all i get back is: usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory

so im wondering if the syntax is just wrong.

i just want to get this so i can install recovery keys then do jf1.3, ill try a bit longer, otherwise ill wait, autorotate isnt worth this much time (even if i am bored) :)
[G1 Android Development] :
if you get stuck at the android after any install/upgrade/downgrade, wipe the phone and it usually works.
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
To be honest I have never done it the adb way. It just adds an unnecessary element into the process (having to use adb and a pc). As for getting stuck at the Android screen, which update did you flash? JFv1.3? Did it complete successfully?

Edit: see korndub's comment.
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Hum. And what if you type enter just mount?
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
from adb (cuz its easier) this is basically the same thing as i get on phone:

$ mount

mount

rootfs / rootfs ro 0 0

tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,mode=755 0 0

devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=600 0 0

[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Hum, so mount is working properly. Are you entering the remount command on the G1?
[G1 Android Development] rrstx:
I was attempting to update to ADP1, and it said that it completed successfully. I will try the wipe method the next time I attempt the update. Also, thank you for your help.

- Download Terminal

- Type in "su -"

- If it asks for permisison or if it gives you

$: su -

then you are rooted.

Also - check the version and firmware of the ROM you are running.

Menu > Settings > About

(Look at Firmware version, Baseband Version, and Kernel Version, Mod Version)

What EXACTLY is supposed to happen after I've typed each of the commands into the Telnet app?

What reaction is there to let me know that I've successfully gotten root?

I type:

mount -o rw, remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

it replies:

Usage: mount [-r][-w][-o options][-t type] device directory

Everything else I type is greeted with "# #".

What's right and what's wrong? I'm just flailing confusedly, any help at all would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I read a post I'm not allowed to link to, but all I can say is thank you, LucidREM.

I'm still lost, but I'm lost with root. Woot.

OMG! my phone is in trouble

hi! I have an android dev phone 1.0

I've downloaded RC29, and formatted my device with this image

but when i boot it It asks me about my Google account,

i tell it my Google account and my password

but it want to connect to Internet, and check my Google account

and it fail to connect to Internet

because I am not using T-mobile (and its GPRS ofcourse)

what i should to do?

thanks..

[sorry for my terrible english]
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
If you have rooted your phone properly you need to flash a recovery image either cyanogens or Amons, then once in there you need to flash a custom rom and then reboot. Once you get to the android with the hand click the android then click skip on everything until you get to home screen where you can get into setting and connect via wifi and add your google account through market. Hope this helps.
[G1 Android Development] hbagherinezhad:
I've failed

No, I failed to root my device

for now,, i just want to my dev phone back!

how i can flash a recovery image ? [i've downloaded a recovery image from developer.htc.com]

i can't use adb, because my pc can't find my phone [because i can't start up my phone properly]

but i can copy any update.zip file to my sdcard

help me.. please
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
You need to follow this guide to root:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=684101

and this guide to make adb work:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532719

and the G1 comes with a Recovery image already built in just follow the first guide to get into it and then you can use adb or you can boot into fastboot which allows you to flash recovery images. but to do this you need to be rooted.
[G1 Android Development] hbagherinezhad:
Thanks a lot!

now my device is a rooting device

but there is another problem

i can't apply "HARD SPL"

i copy "update.zip" to sdcard

and then i reboot and go in recovery mode. and i see the recovery mode have a new theme

but theres a problem.. when i press alt+s nothing happens to my device

what's the problem? Am i doing something wrong ?
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
So to me it sounds like you rooted your phone correctly and you flashed a custom recovery image. which recovery did you flash? Also before you flash a spl make sure you flash the new radio or you will brick your phone.
[G1 Android Development] hbagherinezhad:
yes! finally i've rooted properly and I'm using "HARD SPL" now [i find the problem]

but the question is.. what now ?

I had android 1.6 and now I have a simple android OS, android 1.6 was much more beautiful

is there a way to make my android OS beautiful ?
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Um yeah thats why you root so you can flash custom roms, On the development page here go to the Rom Bible (that I made) and scroll through the list of all the roms you can flash. place the .zip file on your sd card boot into recovery and flash make sure you follow the instructions in the rom you choose. I have been doing video reviews lately of roms on my yourtube channel go check them out. http://www.youtube.com/user/RoyalKnight6190

Also maybe i will make a video on how to flash a rom.
[G1 Android Development] hbagherinezhad:
Oh, Thanks.. really thanks

In this link there are many ROMs, I go dizzy when i look at them

Would you please prefer me one of these ROMs?

the most beautiful one.. [Nexus one's android is really beautiful!]
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
If you go to page 17 in the Rom bible and its the last post I mention my favorite roms.

So, I've flashed my G1 dev phone to RC29, but I can't seem to make the commands work as one supposes they should. I enter telnet, and the following is what I get, with my input in bold.

<string of gibberish> #

Then I start up, my input in bold:

<string of gibberish> #

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3/system

Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory

# # cd sdcard

# # flash_image recovery recovery.img

# # cat recovery.img >/system/recovery.img

cannot create /system/recovery.img: read-only file system

I get that it's not mounting to read/write, but I don't know how to solve this. When I enter a terminal emulator and try to get root, I see this:

$ su

su: Permission denied

Anyone have some insight as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for the walk through it was really helpful.

Im wondering because I did the walk through and then tried to flash to Supereclairv_xxkolohexx_v2.3 and I almost bricked my phone. Is that because I wasnt rooted?

Done this 3 times before...now stuck

I pre-ordered the G1 in '08, and had it rooted with JF the first time I heard about it, don't even remember when. Since then I have wiped/flashed dreaimg.nbh/returned to stock at least twice. Just to say, I've done this right before. But I'm missing something this time.

Most recently, I was using cyanogenmod 4.x, whatever the latest the version the app would let me install, I forget. I was too chicken to flash hardspl (lame). So, with the G2 release, I figure I should try out Froyo on my G1, see if I like it, because I'm considering going iPhone and want to be sure.

First thing I did was follow this thread's mirror to dl dreaimg.nbh, put it on the root of my freshly-re-formatted FAT32 1Gig SD card, boot into loader (RGBW) and once I hit 88mph, I was right back in Oct. 2008 again, sporting RC29.

I grabbed the RC30-fromRC29 update.zip and - oops...that's not how you root. Flip it, just flashed dreaimg.nbh again, start from scratch. But, this time the version I dl'd was flawed, kept getting a 'fail to update' in red error. Dl'd the orig. from this thread again, zip-thud-back to RC29.

I did the <enter, enter, telnetd enter>, grabbed Telnet from market. "localhost" and "23" were already there. I hit enter. I hit "connect to server". I did the whole she-bang again just to make sure.

su <enter> gives me

su: not found

# #

I can't get back to root. I have flashed and rooted, etc. I currently have:

HBOOT- 0.95.0000 (the original spl)

CPLD- 4

RADIO- 2.22.23.02 (I think I did a radio upgrade at some point, but it was a while ago, I don't recall.)

Only thing I can figure is it has something to do with my radio. Any suggestions folks? I've spent a fair part of two days on this now.
