Hi there everyone. I currently have my phone rooted but i can't remember which image i have. when i go to phone status i see this

firmware version 1.1

Kernel version 2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0 jeasusfreke@androidDev #1

Build number kila-user 1.1 PLAT-RC33 126986 ota-rel-keys, release-keys

i heard that cupake ( i think its 1.5?) is alot better. is that true or is there another build i should get? and what do i have to do to update them? just rename them to update.zip? and whats this about a radio update and how do i install it? *rubs head a bit*
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
Cupcake is definitely a lot better than the RC33 version you have. There's a very well done database of all the different builds available here.

I'm pretty sure the ones there need the new radio.

And some of them need the Haykuro's SPL. (EDIT: Be very careful with flashing the SPL and read a lot before you commit to doing it)

Do some searches on the forum and you'll find them quick :D
[G1 Android Development] Neromyr:
*falls over and lands face up with swirly eyes* oooooki i looked at that and it made me rather confused as far as which one is the best to get. most of them seem to have ?s instead of Y,N,E or what not. and the three that seemed really good seemed like they were at the same time missing some good features. i dunno if the My Faves app is really all that important but i know i used my faves alot. I will try an look for how to take care of the SPL but is it so picky that if i make a mistake once my phone is gonna be dead completely?
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
the myfaves app is really useless if you have access to a computer ;)

its just an interface that updates the web version

now for the spl from what i hear it can be dead completely if you mess up

i was looking for the walkthrough i used, but couldn't find the exact one

i found this one here which I also thought was quite good

it tells you about the radio requirement before getting the spl and about having a PVT or DVT board and how to do it if you have 1 microsd or 2 (2 makes it a lot easier)

now i couldnt tell you which one is best .. but you could do what i did, using as many nandroid backups as you need, and just flash as many as you feel like until you feel at home with one

my current set up is cyanogen's rom v3.2 with tehseano's hero theme port 1.1 .. it looks downright amazing and works so awesome .. im the envy of my friends ;) (extra bonus is that cyan's ROM doesn't require the SPL if you're unsure of doing it)
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
adb is part of a set of tools located in the Android SDK

the build you can find by going to Settings > About Phone, along with a lot of other useful information

i cant make a video for you but go to the About Phone screen and tell us what you're Model Number, Firmware Version, Baseband version, Kernel version, and Build Number are

also what errors and what trouble are you running into?
[G1 Android Development] Neromyr:
I got my radio updated and SPL updated without any problems *smiles* i'm getting ready to update to the one xidominicanoix. before i do does anyone else have any recommendations?

Problems Rooting my G-1

I attempted to follow your instructions, and had two problems:

1. In downgrading to RC29, after your step 5, I was unable to restart the phone--possibly because I was missing information on how to do so. I had a screen with colored bars and some text, including the text "seria10". I tried holding the power button down, which is the normal shut down, as well as other things, and eventually had to pull the battery.

2. Your last step is to upgrade back to a current version of the OS. I followed your instructions, downloading RC33 from http://jf.odiness.com/v1.41/JFv1.41_...ronment.tar.gz, but when I turned the machine on again and checked, I still had RC29. I note that while the link is given by you as for RC33, the link appears to be the same as the first one you give for ADP 1.1

I have now repeated the procedure, downloading from the first link you give for ADP 1.1, which I think is the same. Again, the phone ends up in RC29.

What am I doing wrong?

Root from CRB43 G1?

I only saw one person asking and no one confirming, so here is the question before I try:

I have a t-mobile G1 that's received an OTA update to CRB43. Can I downgrade to RC29 and root and then upgrade as per the instructions in this thread? Has anyone tried this with success?

i've searched a lot about it

but i cant seem to find much info about it, only some complaints by others who also wont get it done.

i live in europe (holland) so the builds to downgrade my phone (rc29 usa and rc7 for uk) wont work on my phone.

i've tried both and it ended up with a grey screen with "not allowed" and then it would turn to a colorfull screen and thats about it.

how to flash my european g1 or just with what build?

I am in the exact same boat. Will this method still work? Thanks in advance.

Also, some additional questions:

Once I downgrade and get root, do I have to upgrade to the latest custom versions or can I go a head and install new builds like Dude or Hero?

Will I lose the video camera?

Can I still download stuff from the Market Place?

Thanks again...

Please help...

I have loaned my friend my unrooted phone and he said he was updating the phone over the air but he got impatient and took the batteries out. Now the phone only go the exclamation sign and the phone under it.

I read here how to root and flash the phone but whenever i Put the update.zip and tried to update I get this message.

Android system recover utility

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command

PLEASE HELP ME HOW TO FLASH BACK MY PHONE.

[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
there's no signature .. meaning you have the wrong version to flash to the phone .. this could be because you have not rooted the phone .. follow the instructions to root .. then use the root'd update.zip files to get to the latest build .. to root you must go back to the RC29/7 version with the nbh file .. then gain root .. then use the update.zip .. you cannot use OTA updates or you will lose root
[G1 Android Development] DigitalN.:
Okay so I tried to root my phone today, however apparently the rogers firmware is different than the Tmobile version of the phone. When I go to format the SD card in my computer, it will (very quickly) disconnect and reconnect when I bring the format box up, or when I am in administrative tools, it will disconnect and reconnect the entire time until I close out of it.

Does anyone have it figured out how to fix this issues with the rogers Dream yet? I want to get modding!

Thank you!
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
well, regarding rooting rogers, not possible yet

i believe Haykuro is gathering donations to get a Rogers Dream to root it asap

Heres that thread

Rooting

Hi, I have a problem.

After root when i updating soft to a new version there is info:

E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip(No such file or directory).

Please help me with that.

I got phone from uk.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
For one make sure your usb cord isn't connected to the phone.

Make sure your card is fat32 partitioned

Make sure your "update file" isnt called update.zip.zip
[G1 Android Development] Grigo:
Format for sure fat32 i did by myself, and rename first as update.zip and then only update and nothing. Any other idea?
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
You renamed it??

as in update.zip??

you should have renamed it to "update" since it is already a zip file
[G1 Android Development] blufade:
I have some doubts

1. Presently I'm using stock tmobile f/w (1.5), is it safe to downgrade to RC29?.

2. After enabling root can I upgrade to a different version than mentioned here, for instance JF 1.5 ?
[G1 Android Development] Grigo:
Nothing, everything was going well till the soft update.I tried on many ways and it's no working.

I tried searching this forum and Google, but couldn't find out why my SU Requests hangs. It only happens after I used my phone for a while. It does work after a fresh wipe and flash.

I root my phone a long time ago, did I do it wrong or something? The same thing happens on JF, TheDudes, Hayakuro, and CyanogenMod roms.

currently using CyanogenMod 3.4 with 1.2 recovery with latest spl and radio

try reflashing radio, spl, then any rom again. this happened to me before. can't explain why but that procedure fixed it for me.

[G1 Android Development] gulfcapt24:
Thanks for the help

This has been a very useful post that has really helped me. I am definitely a noob when it comes to this stuff. Thanks again !
[G1 Android Development] wddglr:
This happened to me often and sometimes happens from time to time.

You're gonna need the Android SDK for this.

All you need to do is set up the sdk and blah blah blah.

Now you need to make sure the Android Developer Bridge recognizes your device. It should recognize it while in recovery or the G1 screen. Just play around with it.

adb devices

(I don't want to get into too much detail with adb, theres a whole thread on that.)

Now all you have to do is rename whatever ROM you intend to use to update.zip and know its directory.

After you know all that mumbo jumbo, push it to your sdcard with this command:

(Again, you should know how to run adb by now)

adb push '/[I]your-directory[/I]/update.zip' '/sdcard/'

Reboot your phone into recovery and wipe, then update.zip.

Hi,

I offer a donation to anyone who can help me regain my ROOT access.

Let's keep this simple: please tell me why the f&#k I can not type 'telnetd' as described in the standard thread explaining how to get root on RC29.

Regards from the Netherlands,

Pluplus.
[G1 Android Development] supremeteam256:
You won't see anything when you type that in. Can you explain the steps you done so far? Need a lil more info to be able to help you.
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
Did you oversee that??
[G1 Android Development] pluplus:
OK so if I type telnetd now it is showing that I type this in my contacts....which strangely it was not before I posted this...

I have two applications: Telnet and Terminal Emulator, in Telnet it shows two # and in Terminal Emulator it does not accept the remount command...
[G1 Android Development] pluplus:
it says mount: operation not permitted
[G1 Android Development] pluplus:
not only did I ' loose' me ROOT, ADB stopped working ' no devices' in my CMD, wahhhhh, I have done all that is mentioned by others.... wahhhhh
[G1 Android Development] supremeteam256:
After typing in telnetd did you go into telnet and type those commands. You shouldn't be typing those commands in terminal emulator.
[G1 Android Development] angelogiuffrida:
I've tried reading but nobody has the same problem as me.

I can successfully gain root access (I assume) because the Telnet works fine and I get a '#' response after everything I type in.

The problem is, that when I reboot the phone with END and HOME key - I don't get the exclamation mark (recovery mode) to install Hard SPL- I get the three colours on the screen.

I've tried repeating the Telnet stuff again and rebooting, and the Telnet stuff seems to be working fine, but I can't get into recovery mode for the life of me!

I've got the recovery.img and update.zip on my SD card. What should I do?!

Edit: I'm running kila_uk-user 1.0 TC5-RC7; not the US version. I've had to do the Goldcard method because I'm using an AU Dream. Now can I simply install the RC29 without doing the Goldcard method again?
[G1 Android Development] pluplus:
Hi Supremeteam,

Yes I have done so and was surprised that the telnet app started with all strange signs ' $### $# $##' (something like that) and the cursor was two ## signs....

OTA CRB43 ROOT gone forever!

Somone please....I still have no answer to this stupid simple question which a lot of people are posting lately.... since the OTA CRB43 update it seems impossible to regain ROOT, doing the RC29 telnetd thing is showing two ## in the telnet application which I think show there is NO Root access. When inserting the 4 commands (remount , sdcard, flash recovery) nothing seems to change...

Please, someone give me the advice....
[G1 Android Development] pluplus:
adb root

ROOT CLOSED
[G1 Android Development] supremeteam256:
Well after typing those commands you physically won't see a change. Just reboot your phone and you should have root. Have you already tried loading a rom.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
follow the instructions .. when you type "<enter>telnetd<enter>" from the home screen it ALWAYS goes to a contact search .. if this is new to you i'm not sure why .. if you follow the instructions you will find root .. it does not matter what update you're coming from (ie. CRB43)

http://files.lucidrem.us/jf/ROOT/g1_root.txt
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
Lucid it's 2 enters then telnetd ;)

I think this is where all these new rooting issues come from. :)

Edit: Make sure your phone IS NOT connected to the computer when you telnetd
[G1 Android Development] pluplus:
NO NO NO (but thanks)

I am experienced !!! so yes:

- twice telnetd

- unplug USB

- try uploading ROM

But I think that two # instead of one and the fact I can not adb root or adb remount (permission denied) also shows root access failed.

Please give me more/other/better/bulletproof advise!
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
From what you typed, your not rooted yet

you need to complete step 8
[G1 Android Development] pluplus:
Mickey, seriuosly, I can type those commands with my eyes shut....but no ROOT.... one more things:

- there are two # in telnet (so ## as a cursor), I think after one has typed telnetd with succes only one # should appear

I am telling you, strange things are happening. I think that OTA 1.5CRB43 has closed the ROOT option in RC29, I have heard this more than once now.

Still willing and in need to fix this and my reward for a donation still stands !!!
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
in telnet there are two "#" .. in Terminal there is one "#"

Step 8 gets typed in telnet. Don't worry about the double # its good that you got it

Im the type of person that its easy for me to watch and do rather then read and do. so there for i ask you guys, which video on Youtube would you guys suggest for me to watch that would best explain on how to root my phone? can you guys recommend someone? or link me to the best video? A friend of mine suggested i watch a video made by (AnthonyMoreno24)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOo2V9qCauc&feature=channel_page but he also said that he cant get his wifi to work. i need wifi on my phone its my biggest thing. and the one thing i care most about. so can someone please point me in the right direction? thanks you. :)
[G1 Android Development] pluplus:
What the f?

I really do not understand what you are saying:

'Step 8 gets typed in telnet. Don't worry about the double # its good that you got it', I understand eventhough I am not sure that you are right!

'No where does it say type them into terminal or start terminal and type them.' What do you mean, what are you talking about (talking about terminal all of a sudden instead of telnet...)

'Restart over from rebooting your phone and typing in the telnet command and preceed to type the commands after you get #' (I get two#, not one and have rebooted and retyped the commands more than 10 times now)

Maybe I am crazy and already have ROOT, how can I check?

Hey Guys,

i have made it to the last step in updating the latest version of android, but i'm confused about the last 2 steps

6.Press alt-W to wipe your device. (You need to do this, or the device may hang at the flashing Android screen)

7.Press alt-S to apply the update.

i have tried pressing alt and w and it wipes out the device so how am i going to press alt and s to apply the update?

Sorry guys its me again,

i have downloaded the RC33: (md5: f24b6c237775147cb4bc42efc2393973)

image file that says JFv1.41_RC33_BuildEnvironment.tar.gz, is this the one i rename to update.zip? now before i copy it to my SD card, should i delete the recovery.img and the hard spl (renamed as update.zip) before i copy the new version?

i also read what jesusfreke blog he has versions out that are 40.5mb, where should i start? i have root on my G1 but my last step to update the new version on android got me confused on which file i should be renaming.

Help would be great, thanks in advance!
[G1 Android Development] supremeteam256:
As long as you already applied the recovery and hard spl then you can delete them. And Yes you just rename that to update.zip. Just Alt+w then Alt+s and your done.
[G1 Android Development] supremeteam256:
In one of your posts you stated that you had double # in terminal, thats where we got that from. You can always download an app that requires root to see if it is rooted. Have you already updated your spl after applying the recovery.img?
[G1 Android Development] Rizz85:
Didn't work!

Type the following into Telnet (these commands will give you root access easier in the future):

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

cd sdcard

flash_image recovery recovery.img

cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img

[/list]

Now you have root!

Wrong! unfortunatley, when I typed in the last command I was prompt with a message in Telnet: "cannot create /system/recovery.img: read-only file system"

can anyone pleease help me?
