So I grabbed the image, it gave me an OK for all parts of the status and when it asked me to hit the action key, the phone rebooted, sort of.

I am now sitting at a screen with rainbow colors, and the screen reads:

DREA100 PVT 32B

HBOOT-0.95.0000

CPLD-4

RADIO-1.22.12.29

Sep 2 2008

Serial0

In order to get the phone off, I have to pull the battery.

Now, like a baboon, I did not ensure the image was named DREAMIMG as it was named DREAIMG yet still reported success. Now it will not let me get back into camera+power to reimage the phone with a renamed DREAMIMG file.

Any ideas? I have no shame and would find it entertaining to bring this to T-Mobile and ask for help if that's what it comes to :)

Edit: UPDATE

It made it beyond that wonderful color screen, to the G1 screen, and now I am at the andriod screen for the initial phone setup. Sure enough, RC29 here I am.

I am tempted though, to do this again with the correctly named dream image for sanity's sake...not like it took forever to get done.

I'll report back later if anything else goes odd!
[G1 Android Development] Sistum Id:
Okay cool thanks.

So if I can load the Terminal Emulator and type su and hit enter a message pops up saying

That means my root is secure on JF 1.3 RC30 correct?
[G1 Android Development] Perrosky:
I was thinking that after I get back to the RC29 and get root.

will my phone try to update to the RC30 again? if yes what can I do to prevent this from happening and get the RC30 Modded? follow the step on the link bellow?

Step by step how to get modify RC30

thanks
[G1 Android Development] rsfaze:
from what I know the 1.3 is using test keys that are different from the OTA keys.

If I'm wrong someone should chime in soon.
[G1 Android Development] Perrosky:
sorry but I don't have clue of what you mean by that:(
[G1 Android Development] rsfaze:
the keys are what signs the software. Kind of like a password. If the keys don't match when an update over the air OTA comes, it won't be able to accept it
[G1 Android Development] Perrosky:
ok. go that thanks:o

but is there any way that after I downgrade to RC29 and get root I can get RC30 modded and still have root access?
[G1 Android Development] rsfaze:
yes JF 1.3 is RC30 with root
[G1 Android Development] Perrosky:
thanks......:o
[G1 Android Development] blahzay_blah:
finally got it woohoo
[G1 Android Development] daproy:
You had it right. The image file should be named DREAIMG.nbh not DREAMIMG.nbh as it says in the short instructions. The bootloader looks for DREAIMG.nbh or DREADIAG.nbh (a diagnostic image).
[G1 Android Development] harsh3090416:
I am having the same problem sitting on the same screen as our

what did you do to solve it??
[G1 Android Development] diabolical28:
i believe his problem was either his sdcard was not formatted fat32 or he "named the nbh file NBH" the zips you download just extract as and make sure ur card is fat32 then happy rooting
[G1 Android Development] card13:
Did you extract the zip file. Inside of it is the DREAIMG.nbh. I found that out after doing some digging last night. And to Sistum Id, try downloading the droidsans app, and remount the /system folder.
[G1 Android Development] harsh3090416:
all i had to do is remove my battery and start the phone again

I tried that but it doesn't work because I don't have the telnet client from the app store because i cannot get past the initial set up to get there. By initital set up I mean (click the android to begin), my gmail gets rejected because i do not have t-mobile. I also tried using a friends t-mobile sim card and the same thing happened with the rejection of my gmail because they do not have the t-mobile data package on their plan. Any help for any of this??

I yanked the battery, let it sit for about a minute, plopped it back in and now it is fine.

The link to the rc7 is no longer valid. Will the rc29 work on a UK model or do I have to use rc7? Is there any chance someone can re-upload the rc7 file? Thanks.

I assume you use Windows:

Connect G1 to computer>right-click>Format>File System: FAT32

Download it on your computer.

No.

-----------------------

nevermind already in progress...

but can we go back to the stock rcXX rom if we have to? for example sending the g1 back for warranty issues without leaving a trace of the modification ?
[G1 Android Development] JLine05:
I was having issues getting my phone to recognize the image at first. I ended up using a smaller card (1GB) and it worked that way. If you dont have another card, try reformatting and put the image file back on the SD and try again.
[G1 Android Development] :
sorry if this sounds brash, but if you are having this much trouble, you might not need to root your phone, the results could be less than desired.

for somereason my phone let me get root access no more keep sayin error while connecting to server

and yes my phone is modded

any reason why it could be doin that
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Are you trying to telnet in? After installing modified build, you can just access directly via Term or adb.

when i try it in term it wont let me
[G1 Android Development] Dalamak:

[G1 Android Development] Duncan79:
This is great. Can somebody tell me how I can remove some factory installed apps, or copy/delete files in the phone? Do I need to install busybox and add commands, or is there a way I can just have the system fully unlocked and be able to just uninstall a factory app?

Please help. I'm happy enough playing with commands and config files on my pc linux distro, Debian, heck, I even tackled the task on configurating a basic base system running fluxbox. That was a pain in the app to play about with. So you see, I'm not about to break my G1 by accidently deleting something, but I would like to strip the OS down somewhat. I just don't know what commands to use in the G1's shell. Any suggestions would be great. ;)
[G1 Android Development] sroman89:
I dont get it. I am running eng. bootloader, and the rooted rc30. But when i go to the terminal on the device and type reboot, it says operation not permitted! Argh... =P

[G1 Android Development] Koush:
Start up in recovery mode and press Alt-W to wipe the device.
[G1 Android Development] vdl68:
Take the battery out, then some get JF RC30 on your SD Card. flash with JFv1.31_RC30.zip, then the JFv1.3_ADP1.zip.
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
The android gods have been angered. Thou shalt not change builds without performing a wipe.

Note: if you want to try something other than a wipe, adb shell into it in recovery mode, and delete /data/system/packages.xml. i.e.

adb shell

mount /data

rm /data/system/packages.xml

and then reboot.

I've played with this method a bit, and it seems like it works for me so far. You have to re-register, but most of your data should be kept. i.e. MMSs, and all your apps and app settings. You might lose your call log, and possibly your contacts (but they'll be re-synced of course). But it's better than doing a full wipe (assuming it works).

Give it a shot and see if it works for you. After you boot up successfully and re-register, make sure you try to open the call log and make sure it doesn't crash. You might want to try calling the G1 from another phone too, just to make sure it doesn't crash on incoming calls. (If so, just do a wipe, and you'll be back to normal, sans data and settings).

To sum up, wiping is the safe bet. Deleting /data/system/packages.xml may or may not work. If you choose to try the packages.xml approach, let us know your results either way :)
[G1 Android Development] rickymello:
help

I followed the steps in the first post but when i go in to recovery mode i do not get the skating androids. I get a little phone and an exclamation mark. anyone know what im doing/did wrong?
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
The skateboarding androids are in the bootloader (back or camera+power), not recovery mode (home + power)
[G1 Android Development] rickymello:
Oh, well it says to enter recovery mode with home+power and that you will see the skating androids. Must have just been a mistake. i proceeded to follow the steps and now have root :)
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
Why? :). There's no need to apply RC30 before ADP1. if you want ADP1, flash ADP1 (and either do a wipe, or try the packages.xml trick I posted above)
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
Hmm, where does it say that? (I'll talk with the post owner to try and get it updated :))
[G1 Android Development] Beast84:
So in step 7 of the original post, am I to assume that at the end of each line, I am pressing the "enter" key? Or is it just one continual command & it will restart once the command is complete?

I am a total noob to linux. I wanna do this but damn am I scared!!! It seems like a simple process but to me, I swear I am seeing the matrix code right about now! I have been looking at all these threads for a couple of days now & I think I am ready to take the plunge
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
with the rooted and modified image, and hardspl... do we have to manually update the g1 for cupcake or can we take the auto update push that tmobile will send out? and do we still keep root if we accept the auto update ?
[G1 Android Development] coolbho3000:
You will not get any OTA updates that will work. They will fail as JF custom blocks OTA because they can (and most likely will) take away root. Something to do with the fact that the OTA certs are missing from JF build.

OTA updates are absolutely dangerous anyway (to your device's openness) unless you have the dev or hard spl.
[G1 Android Development] Duncan79:
So, will google still try to push the next update, and we simply dismiss it, or will there no longer be any notifications for future updates directly to the phone?

Also, will Jesusfreak be creating future modded updates which corrospond to the official ones. For example, giving us new options and features which would normally be present in future OTA updates?
[G1 Android Development] coolbho3000:
There will always modded versions of the OTA updates, I think. Besides, we can all switch to an ADP1 build which will get updates just as well if he isn't able to get T-Mobile's OTAs modified (which I think is unlikely).

Not sure if modded RC30/RC8 will ask for an update later on, if so we can just do it manually. I'm pretty sure if you have ADP1 installed it will never ask for an OTA update.
[G1 Android Development] Duncan79:
Hmm... I may look into the ADP1 flash. It sounds like you have even more control with that than you do with rc8/30 modded. ;)
[G1 Android Development] Turboed240:
Im having a little problem here. I am in Terminal emulator trying to apply the recovery image. When I type "flash_image recovery recovery.img" , I get this:

"error opening recovery.img: No such file or directory"

The image is there. I mounted/unmounted properly. Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] Duncan79:
I experienced that error, but upon checking, I found that I simply made a typo. ;)
[G1 Android Development] Turboed240:
Well, I figured it out. For some reason, before I could flash the image, it made me go into the sdcard directory first. Who knows...it worked though. lol
[G1 Android Development] danguyf:
You have to either provide the full path to the img or be in the same directory, yeah.
[G1 Android Development] necromancerr:
what is debian and what can you do with it if you have in installed in your phone?
[G1 Android Development] necromancerr:
if you have your recovery.img file in the root of your sdcard, then you need to type the following;

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

if not then you'll need to cd to sdcard first and then type the command you were using before.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
I used the hard spl that was in the first post of this thread, so I should be cool with the updates from tmobile... cause I flashed the blue star theme and it didn't wipe everything even though I read it will.

And is there a way to verify in the g1 that the hard spl is complete.
[G1 Android Development] chief2842:
Thanks guys, everything seem to work fine. For the build number I have 1.0 TC4-RC30 116143 is this correct because now when I type telnetd and try to connect with telnet it will not let me? I can use the Terminal Emulator to access everthing though.

Hi everybody!

I write from Italy. I know many methods to unlock a g1 but I also know that probably unlocking will disable g1's google account (no market, no maps, no calendar, no gmail... no everything I suppose). I want to use a g1 with Wind and I also want to use all g1's features. Probaly in Italy this Big G masterpiece will have an absurde price (as it happend with iPhone), is there a way to unlock it preserving all features?

ok so....

i hate doing this, but i cannot figure out how to format my damn card, excuse the language, i have 2 2GB cards, one is a san disk, one is a lexar, and then the 1 GB that came with my G1 which is a transcend. i cannot get my computer to see the card when it is in the comp, i can put the card in either of my two phones(tilt and G1) and it see's it but i cannot format. i have tried spd utilities and resco file explorer on my tilt and neither one has been able to format the card. does anyone know of any fool proof ways to get the card formatted?

before anyone says it i am not a noob, i have linux on two of my computers so i know what i am doing, i have flashed many roms to many types of phones and never held a brick in my life, i am not afraid to do what it takes even if it mean holding my first ever brick. i love my G1 but i want to put apps on the SD card and i know you need Root permissions to do it. thanks in advance for your help

[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
this may be a really stupid question, but i am a total newbie to android (don't even actually have the phone yet!)-

is the following part where hardspl is applied and the processes/steps 1-6 is it being applied?:

What To Do Now That You Have Root

Now that you have root, you will want to apply "Hard SPL" to your phone. HardSPL is what will allow you to apply flash images from other regions (like UK on US phones, and vice versa), create full backups of your phone, install the latest build from the Android source, and usually resurrect your phone if it is "bricked". You have already downloaded the file to your SD card, so now you can apply it.

1. Power off your phone.

2. Start up in recovery mode by holding home and pressing power.

3. You will now enter recovery mode. You should see an exclamation.

4. If you do not see a menu on screen, press Alt-L to show the menu.

5. Press Alt-S to apply the update from the SD card.

6. After the update is complete, hold Home and press Back to restart.

I am coming from a HTC trinity which was easy to hack and install Hardspl etc on.....
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
put the card in your g1, then mount the card via usb option in the activity tab on the top of the screen, then when the computer recognizes the g1 as a removable device right click on the removable drive ( should be :E ) and choose format, then choose fat32, and choose either quick format or regular, and then ok, and its done...

If you have an ADP build, you don't need to "root" your phone. you have root. open a terminal emulator, and type su. you should see a # prompt. That means you have root.
