Hi, I'm buying a G1 tomorrow, and i just have a few questions. Is it worth rooting??? and what are the Pros and Cons of rooting the G1??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Yes its worth rooting. Everything is pro and no cons. To much stuff to list.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tr1n1Jay:
oooo ok. I heard that if you hacked it, you will lose the warranty for the phone. is that true???
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
Its well worth it to have a rooted g1. Tethering, theming, audio hack, etc.

Just make sure you go through the required reading and educate yourself before you just dive in. There are TONS of great threads and tutorials around here if you search.

The hardest part is deciding which ROM you want! There are lots of those as well.

You can always revert back to stock firmware if you need to.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Just don't call T-Mobile up and tell them you did that. There is no way for them to find out. Many people have gotten replacement phones while having root.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
I got a replacement on a bricked G1 that was stuck on a custom bootscreen.. Blatant evidence of tinkering. T-mobile never said a word.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tr1n1Jay:
Ok, thank you guys. Soo that implies that it doesnt do anything to your warranty. And how can i avoid the phone from bricking???
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phantasm714:
follow this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442480

IMO the two most important steps is making sure you have a PVT board, and making sure to flash the new Radio before flashing the new SPL.

EDIT: the only way to truly "brick" your phone is to mess up when flashing the Radio/SPL. that is one of the most common misnomers in this forum. the G1 is impossible to brick when flashing ROMs. this is why I say the two most important steps are verifying you have a PVT board and the sequence of flashing radio/spl.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
It does invalidate your warranty in theory, but if you don't tell them they don't seem to check for it. I got my girlfriend to phone up and put on her best ditzy voice.. they never even asked her about rooting lol.

The main cause of bricking is flashing the 'special' spl without first flashing the new radio rom.. which is well documented all over the place.. ergo, the main cause if bricking is not reading things properly. Don't become a statistic. :cool:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tr1n1Jay:
ok. i hacked a lot of things, but every device is different, soo i do have some experience. I was just curious about the warranty part. but thanks for the advice.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Just don't worry about the warranty, they won't know. Did you ever worry about the warranty on other things you hacked.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M..N:
im just wondering if anyone has had to pay for their repair after being found out about rooting. also is their any warranty to cover bricks?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
There is really no way for T-Mobil (or HTC for that matter) to know that you have rooted your phone. If you bought your phone from T-Mobil, the warranty will cover it as long as you tell them that you didn't do anything to brick your phone. Don't mention rooting, hacking or anything like that. Simply let them walk you through the recovery process and when that fails, they will send you a refurbished phone per the warranty. If you didn't buy your phone from T-Mobil, you can send it to HTC for repair but again, don't mention anything about rooting or hacking. HTC will charge you if you send them your phone and they discover it was only soft bricked (ie bootlooping on the android screen and not the G1 screen). This would be proof positive that you were tinkering around. Bottom line is: never mention rooting, hacking, custom ROMS etc, and make sure you know that your phone is truly bricked BEFORE you send it in. As stated all around this site, there are only a handful of ways to truly brick your G1.

If you want a foolproof way of covering a potential bricked phone, buy the insurance policy from T-Mobil. The deductible to get a new G1 if something happens is usually around $100 but thats cheaper than buying a new phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M..N:
ok thanks does that insurance policy cover bricked phones and do you know if it is available in the uk
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
If its truly bricked they wont know any of the modifications you made to it except your splash screen (The first thing you see when you turn on the phone) If you don't change that you should be fine. For anything else, you can always flash the DREAIMG.nbh file and it will be returnable
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M..N:
Is there any insurance from htc I can get to cover bricks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yahrghrr:
You can always take the safer route and not flash any ROM that requires Haykuro's SPL aka DangerSPL if you are not confident on the entire process. Just go with HardSPL and either JesusFreke's or Cyanogen's ROMs. That being said, you can still brick your device if you didn't follow the instructions carefully but at the very least, it is not as risky as using Haykuro's SPL.

And as usual, before you make any modifications, read read and reread all the threads about the particular ROM that you're attempting to flash. Spend a day combing the threads and have a mental image of the steps you'd have to perform before flashing:)

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] crobs808:
All,

I have figured out how to get 30-60seconds (max) lock using TomTom 7, and no need to prime with GPS Viewer or another program before opening TomTom. This also prevents you from having to use those silly launcher applications that prime your GPS then 30 seconds later run TomTom, etc...

Ok, so here is what I have running on my XV6900...

- Radio: 3.42.30

- ROM: NFSFAN 1.15 VZW (WM6.1)

- PRI: 2.01_002

- PRL: 58002

Now, to get into this state, you must do the following...

1. Do all steps here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4082403&postcount=1

2. Then do all steps in the first post here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=590123&postcount=1 (Yes, it is for the TouchPro, but works on the CDMA Vogue)

3. After STEP 2, you will notice you have PRI 1.46_x or 1.47_x. At this point press *228 and send, then select option 1 to update your phone. This will update your PRL to 58002 (or higher) and PRI to 2.01_002 or 2.03_002. Soft-Reset after complete.

After you reset, you will see that you have my same PRI and my same PRL (or higher PRL is fine). This will allow you to run TomTom7 without priming first (select Internal GPS in your settings, not NMEA!).

Using TomTom 7 on XV6900

crobs808, if you could please tell me how you were able to get TomTom7 to work on xv6900, it'd be greatly appreciated. I can't get voices or maps.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] scrawnyb:
I thought the PRI issue was much like the XV6800 where the GPS was in a "locked down" mode in PRI's 2.x and above?

Also, what settings are you using in the registry and in QPST (since you don't have a data plan)?

Hi all,

I'm using the rom in subject from the first time it was pubblished and I must say that it was relly usable, but from a few days I can't receive sms anymore... or better, sometimes yes and sometimes not...

By reading here and there, I found that many people has the same issue, but nobody seems to have a solution...

Just now someone reply me in an italian forum and he told me that he solved with a wipe and re-flashing the same rom, but for me it cannot be the solution, because if I did something wrong with this rom, or if I have installed something wrong, maybe I'll do it again and them I'm back to the same situation.

Well, anyone knows the cause of this issue, and then the solution?

Initially, after a small test, I suppose that they works only if I have data connection down, but this is not true...

Of course, I use an italian Vodafone Magic (PVT32B).

Thanks in advance,

Hello all

I've so very green when it comes to changing themes. I can't stand the Vodafone white and red theme on my Touch pro 2. I've been looking at this device for a long time and really like the original black theme and was so disappointed when Vodafone had messed around with it.

Plus you can't read the black writing over the dark red back group.

I'd like to change my theme but reading some of these threads it's seems really hard.... Is it? As I said, i'm really new to windows mobile and cab files and so on. Is there a simple way to download a cab file to put on the original theme?

I've tried to read previous threads with people trying to help others with this and it just confused me. Please feel free to talk as though I was a child... in simple little word chunks of telly tubby english... lol... i really need it.

I had posted these replies elsewhere before I realised you had posted the guide in it's own thread. I've run into a problem and it's really confusing me as to why it's not working :confused:

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

KarrdeNZ, mate I followed your guide to the letter. I got all the way down to step 11 and then a problem occurred.

When I clicked 'Apply sdcard:update.zip' it just said cannot find or cannot load update.zip, or something like that, then said operation aborted?

I was trying to install the EXACT same ROM as you, I downloaded it to my laptop, renamed it update.zip and moved it to the root of the SD card.

Yet it didn't work, I can't for the life of me think where it's gone wrong as everything else up to that point had gone smoothly.

Any idea's?

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

Well I tried downloading the same file again. No luck this time either!

This is what it says when I click the install from sdcard button:

--install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip

(no such file or directory)

Installation aborted.

Now I get that it's saying that it can't find the file but I really don't understand why? I mean the file is there, do I have to unzip the file onto my computer 1st and then put it on the sdcard?

I thought i just stuck the zipped file onto the root of the card making sure i renamed it 'update.zip'

Please help me out guys, thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] n1ck75:
i did have the same issues, sorted it by:

Formatting the sd card (fat32)

Changing the permissions on the zip file

Moving files to the sdcard then sticking the sdcard into another computer to check that the files had been moved.

And it worked!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yigabit:
don't know if this is the exact same error, but i had a similar situation and it freaked me out, all you have to do (in my situation) is wait a few seconds or so. i think the phone is still in the process of mounting the SD card or initializing the card component. give it a few seconds (30 sec) and try the update again.

One quick question... I'm at the point where I have the ROM file downloaded which is already a zip file. I just rename it to update.zip and put it on my sd card. Do I put it on the sd card already extracted? Or just as is.. Also, do I put it in the IME folder which is already on the card? Reason I am asking is every time I try to install the ROM it says it cant find it. Am I missing something? Thanks guys.... I'm sooo close... :)

BTW, I have a rogers magic... I didnt do anything elce to it. Did I need to ROOT it first? Everything seemed ok in the instructions right up to the green screen. Wiped, then when I try to follow the steps to stall the update file it cant find it or anything on the sd card for that matter or atleast when the card is in the phone. I also tried format in the phone and I keep getting an error as well. Just to clear things up... I do format to FAT32 on my PC right..?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KarrdeNZ:
Just as-is, straight onto the SD card, not in any folder. The recovery image will do the unzipping. A lot of people are running into a naming issue with the update by renaming it to update.zip.zip because they have file extensions hidden - try renaming it to just "update" and see if you can find it then. Alternatively, the newer recovery images (at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530492) have the option "Apply sdcard:choose zip" which will let you browse your SD card for the file.
