OK, quick rundown

Got a G1 (HTC Dream) from Australia, optus network

formatted in windows vista the 1gb micro that came with it (multiple times)

Taken the battery out and in multiple times

downloaded (multiple times, and tried each time) RC7 and RC29 although since i'm RC8 I think Australia is counted as UK for this stuff

load nothing but DREAIMG.NBH on the SD , power off (not before ejecting everything properly)

Then I press the camera button and power, it goes to a grey screen briefly but then multicolours and it has some number 0020000282 or something to that effect and says not allowed

I have to menu/power/off to get out of it...

Anyone can help here?

Model Number- HTC dream

Firmware version- 1.1

Build Number dream_stg-user 1.1 STG-RC8 128394

Please help :)

Do I download all the links from a specific version???

I'm really new at this just have a question about this part of the instructions before I actually try to do this. I will modify my G1 to the RC33 version. Now, under RC33 there are three links - am I supposed to download all three of these links or just one of them???
[G1 Android Development] neoobs:
just one of them
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
then you didn't type this first:

recovery image

Hi,

I noticed that recovery.img in the first post of this thread has a different md5 than recovery_testkeys.img from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=443041

Does HardSPL work only with recovery.img or can it be installed with the recovery_testkeys.img?

Error when applying update from the sd card

After I do the last of the above instructions - Alt-S to apply the update from the SD card - it gives me an error saying the following:

E:No signature (5 files)

E:Verification failed

Installation aborted.

What do I do now please? I have winrar and not winzip, if that makes any difference.
[G1 Android Development] blazinskillz:
Thank you but now I'm stuck.

How do I apply when I already thought I added it to my card before I rebooted? also it tells me this "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command" what am I doing wrong?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
i've always had that line the first time i root the phone
[G1 Android Development] blazinskillz:
What file do I make into update tho, the sp1 hard or the meta inf? Im a noob I know but im really stuck here.

Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (no file in directory)

Installation aborted

where do I go from here?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
trying to load what? the HardSPL??
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
HardSPL

so if you just want the HardSPL file:

$su
#mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#mkdir /sdcard/tmp
#cd /sdcard/tmp
#wget http://files.lucidrem.us/jf/system/bin/lucid.txt
#busybox cp lucid.txt /system/bin/lucid
#chmod 755 /system/bin/lucid
#chown 0:0 /system/bin/lucid
#lucid spl hard

this should put the spl update.zip file in /sdcard and then you can just type "reboot" and hold the HOME+POWER while it loads
[G1 Android Development] blazinskillz:
thanks but where do I put this code? in the telnet app?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
nope .. this is assuming you already have root access and can run Terminal

http://files.lucidrem.us/jf/ROOT/g1_root.txt

so if you have root .. you don't need Telnet
[G1 Android Development] blazinskillz:
well I downgraded to rc29 from rc33 already, ran telnet and got the root access.

So should I swipe my phone over again and follow the instructions you just gave me?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
so if you followed all those directions in the text file up there then you flashed the recovery.img and can flash the phone .. so enter those codes in Terminal to get the SPL and then flash .. now with HardSPL you can flash any version you want (RC33/RC9/ADP1.5)

live long and prosper
[G1 Android Development] blazinskillz:
Thanks alot man I figured what I was doing wrong. I just got my phone to update
[G1 Android Development] blazinskillz:
ok I think im almost there

I downloaded the jf1.5 and changed it to update. After I wiped the phone it brought me back to the ole sign in start over google mess. did I do something wrong or do I have to recover again and then press atl s
[G1 Android Development] blazinskillz:
wtf my phone turned into a dev phone?

whoooaaaaaaaaaaaa yeeeeeaaa thanks lot lucidrem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
every time you do ALT+W it deletes the /data portion of the phone .. so it will have you start all over .. there really is no reason to do ALT+W but some people feel more comfortable doing that with every update they perform
[G1 Android Development] gPhunk:
I have found that when going from an RC build to an ADP build the wipe is a

must

. Otherwise you get a boot loop. Am I the only one?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
i think there are always ways around it .. JF has this on his first post:

"NOTE: If you are on the stock ADP1 image, you will need to upgrade to JFv1.31, then boot normally at least once, before upgrading to JFv1.41, to keep from having to perform a wipe. If you try to go from stock ADP1 -> JFv1.41 directly, you will have to do a wipe."

so between certain ones you may need to wipe .. but you should be able to bypass wiping by taking "the long way around"
[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:
Any ideas when JF will release Cupcake?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
http://andblogs.net/2009/05/when-is-your-15-coming-out/
[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:
I am currently running RC33 rooted. Should I wait until the non-ADP cupcake is released?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
that's entirely up to you .. and JF releasing a root'd US 1.5 is entirely up to T-Mobile pushing it out OTA within the next month/year/millenium
[G1 Android Development] :
im reading all this and do not understand what you are saying? adp? if you are rooted and tmo gives you the ota for the 1.5 then you will basically unroot your phone by flashing it correct?
[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:
yea, tmo is a pain in the ass. So what are the major differences between ADP cupcake and the regular cupcake?

I followed the instructions from the first page, I flashed RC30 to RC29 so that that I can get root, then after restard wright "telnetd" and tried to connect to the server using androit telnet application from the market.

http://files.lucidrem.us/jf/ROOT/g1_root.txt

i just did it with my new phone (after bricking the old one with the new SPL) and it is flawless .. you must type <enter>telnetd<enter> from the home screen and then run Telnet
[G1 Android Development] gpx:
Thank you I did it as you said but Telnet application gives me the same error, anything else to do?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
not really sure .. flashing the RC29 allows you to connect .. unless there's a piece of this puzzle you haven't mentioned .. but it should work
[G1 Android Development] gpx:
removed the battery and start the procedure again and everything went ok this time,

thank you very much for your instructions. now I have R33

one more question, if I want to apply EU version, do I need to hardspl, or is not necessary?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
from RC33 i believe you need HardSPL or EngSPL to switch to a different release (RC9/RC33/ADP1.1)
[G1 Android Development] gpx:
suppose that I shouls start all over again from RC29 and flash hardspl?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
you can flash the SPL right now .. and then flash the RC9 or ADP
[G1 Android Development] gpx:
Do I need to keep recovery_testkeys.img in the sd card or format everything. Do you recommend to Press alt-W to wipe my device, thanks
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
no need for ALT+W in my opinion .. to flash the SPL anyway .. now the wipe has been recommended if you switch between different builds .. once you copy the testkeys recovery file to the phone you can delete it off the SD
[G1 Android Development] brbk4498:
how do i enable root on the android dev 1?
[G1 Android Development] sputnik99:
1.) make sure you habe a device without RC30 / TC5 updated systemsoftware

2.) use this link http://xdaforums.com/search.php
[G1 Android Development] brbk4498:
i dont have ne of those. it is 1.0 unlocked 116222 test-keys
[G1 Android Development] damien667:
You have the dev phone, that means you have the engineering bootloader.

Follow this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=455860

You can use the FASTBOOT option to flash your phone with a rooted version.
[G1 Android Development] haitiankid4lyf:
it would be better if you called, i believe its easier. just tell them after you updated the phone it is often freezing, losing connection and restarting, (tell them its fully charged also) tell them you did a factory reset and it did not help

and that with no apps installed your phone is running a lot slower than "your friends" phone who has 40 apps installed. they should send you out a replacement

[G1 Android Development] rynosaur:
That happened to me the first time I tried to flash-up to JF RC30 v1.2. Something didn't take, rebooting hung up several times; I'm actually surprised I didn't brick the phone, back in the days before the engineering bootloader was available :)

I simply re-downloaded JF's mod, re-loaded it on my test card, and started the recovery console update loader again. Then I had su access.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Holy crap! you did it! I have RC29 now!
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
Let me get this right......Is this for OFFICIAL RC30 phones, that dont have root access??

It's a leak of a HTC-signed RC29 NBH file. It will install RC29 via the G1 stock bootloader.

i keep getting no image file. :(

i formated the sd card over and over ( fat32) also changed the sd card still no luck still trying...

any tips?
[G1 Android Development] richbayliss:
Using this NBH file I just did the following:

1) Dropped from TC5-RC8 to RC7 (giving root)

2) Flashed the modified recovery partition

3) Flashed the engineering bootloader (essential)

4) Flashed to JF 1.3 RC8

Awesome! Shame I already ordered the ADP1!
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
For those getting errors make sure you are properly dismounting after copying over usb mount. Also it couldn't hurt to run MD5 checksum on the file after transferring to make sure it made it across the USB cable intact.

Here are checksums:

From unlocked to locked with no unlock screen

I have an unlocked T-Mobile UK G1, I followed the instructions for rooting it not realising that would involve a factory reset which would reapply the lock.

It won't connect to Virgin Mobile UK and it doesn't ask for an unlock code!

I'd be very grateful for any help.

Please ignore the above, unlock removal was not the issue.

Turns out Virgin Mobile had disconnected me!

Renaming

Try renaming the "Update.zip" to only "Update".

I was helping my cousin update and she had the same problem. It turned out her computer was not showing "known file extensions". Her phone was reading the update as "Update.zip.zip"
[G1 Android Development] BritSwedeGuy:
More information of Virgin Mobile UK disconnecting me:

Turns out they logged over 1GB of data traffic in a few hours!

I'd connected, the phone auto-sync'd, I'd downloaded telnet. Possibly it had sync'd again after upgrading. Nothing else. Now way is that anything even remotely resembling 1GB of traffic.

The online bill shows them charging me £0.48 about every 4 seconds, which is crazy.

I've had to pay an advance of £70 to get reconnected, currently running with 3G turned off.

Anybody experienced anything like this?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
that is krazy insane .. i don't deal with it in the US as i have unlimited data .. maybe you could utilize a coffee shop's wi-fi for the data downloads etc?
[G1 Android Development] BritSwedeGuy:
It certainly is! According to them I'd used 1GB in 2 hours, in fact it was probably around 2MB. They were charging me around £5 a minute - seriously frakked at their end.

I've turned off 3G and used my WiFi at home, no problem.

Went straight from gaining root access to installing JF 1.51 EU without having to wipe.

[G1 Android Development] sizzorkay:
I believe i did the steps right, but now i've already gotten the update from tmo and now have the CRB43 which i believe is the cupcake update, so not sure if i wanna downgrade to RC29 now that i have the update. And after putting in the command code on step #10, it went through and shows ## at the level below, so i didnt get any error msg when i did step 10.

Besides the only reason why i need the root and all is just to tether, using pda.net but that stuff is pretty slow here, for some reason.

aside a few minor improvements, JFs builds are pretty much "stock" with root .. much to the dismay of some and the immense joy of others (like me) .. it allows people to remake the update.zip (within the build environment) or simply take it as it comes in its wondrous glory we all here call .. root .. i love it

I get error messages that say either recovery.img not found on sdcard or recovery img is not recognized..

things i have tried:

reformatted 2 sdcards and no luck

downloaded recovery.img files from differ sources and same result

rebooted the phone

tried skipping step to flash phone.. no luck and didn't brick

HELP

please can someone help, I have just got a UK G1 and followed the process and all seemed to go ok, but I cant upgrade to the new cupcake 1.5 version.

The instructions say download one of the files (I downloaded "JFv1.41_RC8_BuildEnvironment.tar.gz") and then rename it to update.zip - copy it to the SD card and reboot into recovery mode and ALT - W then ALT - S, all works apart from ALT - S, it just doesn't do anything.

THis may be obvious but the file downloads as a .tar - do I need to do anything to get it into a usable .zip format for the ALT - S process to work?
