Once rooted, the phone will remain rooted through wipes as they do not touch the system files, it just removes all user data (restores to factory default). Unless of course you flash it with the official image, then it's another story.

As for going from ADB to RC9, you can do it, but wipe is suggested.

Not sure about picasa or calendar questions though.
[G1 Android Development] zeleni_paradajz:
does anybody see my question here ? :((
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
Don't push it. If people are not responding, that means they don't know.

And what do you mean by "mod 1.1 RC9" anyway?
[G1 Android Development] zeleni_paradajz:
ok sorry :) i'll explain! i've got my G1 2 days ago and whe i go on "about phone" it says firmware version 1.1 , build number: kila_eu-user 1.1 TMI-RC9 128600...
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
Still not sure if I understand your question. Are you asking if you can root your phone? If that is the question, then the answer is YES. Read here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442480

And probably the question was posted in the wrong thread.
[G1 Android Development] zeleni_paradajz:
ok thanks...yes that was my question! there were so many threads when i search so i;ve got confused! sorry for bothering! thanks again!

Just some feedback......since rooting & installing rc9 jf 14.3 I no longer get notifications for updates available in the market? Anyway to fix this? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] yeticomes:
Hello,

great update, thank you very much!

But since I have JF1.43 ADP 1.1h at my DevPhone the browser always opens a new window when I start the browser or switch to it ...

How can I change this? Did not found anything here in the forum.

cu, NM
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
This is not RC9 specific issue -- the same happened to me with Holiday edition. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. Weird.
[G1 Android Development] Kainous:
My HTC Dream is from Signapore and I live in Saudi Arabia. I don't know if RC9 is out in singapore yet.

Does the update to RC9 for UK work for my singapore HTC Dream?
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
I don't see why it wouldn't. If UK users can use US software as well as ADP, you should be able to use UK software in Singapore too.
[G1 Android Development] Kainous:
Would I need to wipe first?
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
Most likely. You might also need to root your device first depending on what you have now.

[G1 Android Development] Kainous:
I tried to root my device using the instructions on the stickied how to root thread.

When I have to power it by holding cam button and power button.

I get to that screen then it says not allow.

Are there any other rooting methods or am I doing something wrong?
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
There are bunch of different instructions. However this is not the right place to discuss it. How about you ask for help in rooting thread before mods kick us out from this one? ;)
[G1 Android Development] cgigate:
what are the differences with UK and US version updates ?
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
In general, US has Amazon MP3, Voice Dial, Voice Search, Latitude, and myfaves (which sends SMS every some time to server).

Difference between JF's UK and US version is only that UK version does not have myfaves and voice search. Latitude can be enabled with a special program, as it is disabled in the UK by default.

I hope I didn't miss anything :)
[G1 Android Development] Kainous:
I successfully put JF UK RC9

And I don't have paid applications.

Is it because I am in Saudi Arabia?
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
Yes. Market is restricted by the data from your SIM card. In order to access it in Saudi Arabia, you would need either US or UK SIM.
[G1 Android Development] mrjeffery:
With a rooted JFv1.43 UK RC9 G1, is there anything that needs doing in order to prepare for the eventual cupcake release? Im assuming it wont install automatically if theres custom firmware present.
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
You are right -- any future updates will get rejected. However, it's debatable if cupcake exist at all, but I won't get into that argument here as it would be an endless discussion.
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
However, I'd imagine JF will release his version of Cupcake when/if it is released, and it should be made available thru the JF Updater.

updating

I have a question that I have not seen answered in this post so far. When i update JF does this totally delete everything on my phone?
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
to JF RC

If you update from the same country build i.e. JF RC8 to JF RC9 then no. But if you go from say Jf RC8 to JF RC33, then it is suggested to do a full wipe. To some people it works without wiping, but it is better to wipe.
[G1 Android Development] smurphete:
Is it restricted by SIM? I thought it was IP based.

BTW Karolis a big thank you for answering so many noob questions for us.
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
No one was born knowing :)

As for the restriction, there's no definite answer, but it seems that if you have say US card in the UK, you can see US-only apps, etc. Or so I read somewhere. B/c if it was IP based only, you could use proxy to trick it, but that doesn't work.
[G1 Android Development] majatt:
I've been trying to get that info for forever, lol, thanks a million there.

and a bigger thank you to Karolis.

thx a million.
[G1 Android Development] khoaitaychienvn:
For me, I will:

1/ Back up everything, including apps with MyBackup Pro (not free)

2/ Roll back to RC29 then to RC9, wipe.
[G1 Android Development] ghoonk:
Where are you guys getting MyBackup Pro from? I've checked Market but it simply does not show up

Problems installing radio

My friend just rooted his phone, and the radio does not get updated. It installs but doesnt show the new version in the baseband. Here is a run down at what he did.

Yea he did install the new update.zip the one containing the radio. Still nothing....he was on stock rc33 then, down to rc29, went to rc30, then rc33, then radio. It installs fine, but for some reason the baseband still reads .29. He did the whole process again, going down to 29 and up again, but nothing. He had done the hardspl, the first time, and the second time he went to the original spl, and the radio doesn't change. Downloaded the files multiple times in case it was corrupt.....I have no idea why its not working. And he did a wipe before the second go around..

any help would be appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] ghoonk:
Thanks. I'm still not getting any luck seeing it in my Market. I have no idea why, and would love to be able to buy this app
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
Market is only available in the US and UK. So unless you can get your hands on either US or UK SIM card, the only other option is to pirate the program. Which you don't want, right? ;)
[G1 Android Development] ghoonk:
Definitely not looking to pirate the program. I inserted my T-Mo SIM from the US and could see Market apps, but MBP is just not showing up in the list, which is why i'm frustrated. Just dropped an email to the developer and am hoping to be able to find a way to buy the app. USD3 isn't a lot to pay for the ability to back up data the way MBP does.
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
You're not the only one. I just started a thread on AC about it.

I can't see more than 40 apps!

do this: search the term "pro" , you should see 81+ apps

I only see 39-43 apps. I'm still on JF 1.41 if that helps.
[G1 Android Development] ghoonk:
I saw your thread. It seems to be related to the firmware. I downgraded back to RC29, updated to RC30, then to RC33, inserted my T-Mo SIM card (I'm in Dubai, not US), then connected over my WiFi network to Market, and found MBP and other good apps (Discover Pro) which I just purchased -- QuickOffice Pro is out, but it's read-only, not read-write of MS Office 2003 files (no 2007 file support yet)

Just switched back to my Dubai SIM card (du) and it looks like I won't be switching back to JF or ADP in the meantime
[G1 Android Development] jusutus:
What do you mean? I live in Finland and am seeing all the (free*) apps on the Market.

Cant hep but feel this is somehow radio related, but I don't know enough to be certain.

How to Restore your phone on a Windows PC using a Nandroid backup

I am going to assume you already have a Nandroid backup created on your SD card using JF 1.31's recovery Alt-B feature. The backup will create a folder called nandroid on your SD.

What you need:

The Android SDK:

Fastboot Windows Binary in this post:http://xdaforums.com/show...53&postcount=1

From your Nandroid backup you need three files:

data.img

system.img

boot.img

Steps to restore your phone

1) Put the files Adb and AdbWinApi.dll from the tools folder in the Android SDK into C:\WINDOWS\System32 folder on your PC. Substitute the correct drive letter if windows is not installed on you C: drive

2) Put the Windows Fastboot.exe into the C:\WINDOWS\System32 folder on your PC

3) Create a folder on the C: drive of your PC called android. The path should be C:\Android.

4) Copy the Nandroid backup files data.img, system.img, and boot.img from your SD card to the folder called Android you created by mounting your SD card as removable disk.

5) Unplug the USB cord and power off your phone

6) Power up your phone by holding CAMERA+POWER, you should see three androids on skateboards. If you don't see this go install the Engineering boot loader

7) Plug the USB cord back into your phone and press back. The screen on your phone should say fastboot.

8) Make sure your pc is using the correct driver. Open the device manager on your pc. It is helpfull to have all other USB storage devices besides your phone unplugged for this part. Look for a USB Mass Storage device in the list of the USB devices. Right click on it and update the driver. Pick the option to browse for a driver on your pc. The driver is located in the Android SDK your downloaded in the folder called usb_driver. If this is done right you will now see a device called HTC Dream

9) Press start, go to run and type cmd (If you are on Vista just type cmd in the search box and hit enter). The command prompt will pop up.

10) Type cd C:\android

then enter the following commands:

fastboot flash system system.img

it will say Sending, then writing and say OKAY if it was successful

then type

fastboot flash userdata data.img

wait for the second OKAY and type

fastboot flash boot boot.img

wait for the second OKAY and type

fastboot reboot

Your phone should now be restored exactly as you had it when it was backed up.

This is why some things are better not attempted at night. I stupidly threw RC29 and rooted it, put up the HardSPL and modified recovery utility, and restored my system, boot and userdata partitions using fastboot, but didn't refresh my recovery partition, so naturally it didn't work. Lesson learned - if you're too tired, you're going to break something!

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

OK, so after a Nandroid restore of my 1.43 RC33 G1, I broke my screen and now need a backup.

Except, when I try to run the recovery utility, I get this:

Android system recovery utility

Using test keys

E:Can't open /cache/recovery command

I tried reflashing the recovery.img to no avail. I know that the restore instructions for Nandroid restore the boot, system and user imgs, but not the cache.

Is there any way to put the required files into the /cache/recovery directory?

So listen to this,i installed 1.41 on my phone, after already having 1.31, and moving apps to sd card. when i updated to 1.41, i had to do a wipe. So then i though, since i already wiped, i might as well move on the adp 1.1 version. So i wiped again, and put on adp1.1.

I didn't see any changes, and wanted the theme i made for rc 30, so i again went back to rc30 1.41, after doing my 3rd wipe. So i turn the phone on after updating. I get the phone back on, and all of my apps are on my phone? Easy to say that i was very excited.
[G1 Android Development] Rafase282:
Weird, I'll try goign to adp 1.1 and then back to rc30 and see if it works
