Dear all,

I have started to follow this treat to root my G1 and unfortunately I am stuck after updating my G1 with the Tmobile image (step 4 in the process). Indeed, I am not a Tmobile user and I cannot activate the account in order to proceed with the steps to root the phone... I have tried to restore to other roms (using the normal restore process but it does not work when pressing alt+S in recovery mode it starts the update but then directly stops and reboot on the Tmobile rom).

Can anyone help? I have been looking around in the forum but cannot find anything.

Thanks

PS: apologies if this has been asked, I really did look around but could not find any hint...

Hello!

I am new here. I am using my HTC G1 Dream and I rather like it. If all goes well, it's still the holidays so I may buy a beer for that special someone.

I have a quick question. I performed all the steps and am on the last part:

NEW METHOD - (does not work on v1.6/DRC*) - Wow. I am reposting this info from another source:

This is an automatic root process. Load a new recovery image and load a ROM with some simple clicks.

1. Download these to the SD:

http://android.lucidrem.us/_fd.php?f...c-20090904.apk

http://android.lucidrem.us/_fd.php?f...eam-v1.4.0.img

USA http://android.lucidrem.us/_fd.php?f...C83/update.zip

EUR http://android.lucidrem.us/_fd.php?f...C92/update.zip

2. Use ASTRO to install the APK file. -> Run the program.

3. Click to BackUp your current recovery.

4. Type "/sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.4.0.img" into the text box. -> Click "Flash Custom Recovery Image" (unless you want Cyan)

5. Boot into the recovery screen and flash the new update.zip file.

How do I boot into the recovery screen? Thanks. :)
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:

Also that is not a new method, its been around for awhile. It seems to have brought alot of new members here..
[G1 Android Development] Hayzie:
I knew it!!! :D

Haha, thanks, Ace.

I'm new into the HTC scene. But it's not obvious or anything. ;)
[G1 Android Development] Hayzie:
Well i've performed every step and my phone is working just like it was. A good thing, meaning it's not bricked.

Now to see if it actually rooted. Is the terminal emulator something that I need to download? or how would I go about doing this.

{edit}

Some phone info:

Before:

Firmware = 1.5

Build = CRC1

Now:

Firmware = 1.6

Build = DRC83
[G1 Android Development] Hayzie:
I have the Terminal Emulator. Is the base symbol #? Mine starts with a $ sign.

I typed in "su" and it says:

Process#967 (app_10030:app10030)

/system/bin/sh-

Wants to run:

/system/bin/sh-

as

root:root

Then it gives me options to Allow or Deny. If I allow this, does it give me root access?

Thanks in advance. Also, will having the Dream recovery img allow me to flash a Cyan rom? I hope I have these words straight.

Some phone info:

Before:

Firmware = 1.5

Build = CRC1

Now:

Firmware = 1.6

Build = DRC83
[G1 Android Development] Hayzie:
Please, anyone. :(
[G1 Android Development] DeFiant*X:
Yes, that will allow root. Click the remember option or always allow if available. Then you will see the # symbol.
[G1 Android Development] rounderlee:
Ok so I just got a G1. I knew that G1 can get "hacked" or rooted and been reading up on it. I have Firmware version 1.6 and Build Number DRC83.

This is a great guide, and also, if you want a hero rom you're going to need to have the danger spl and latest radio. you can find a q/a about getting hero on your phone somewhere on these forums. Also, as far as roms go I recommend cyanogen, dwang, or mlign hero. :) good luck and be careful!

you have root on the phone and can now flash any ROM you would like .. the permission request was added so malicious people could not gain access to your phone without your permission

I enjoy this recovery a lot, but I can't seem to flash any other recovery. Be it Cyan or another build. It always tells me it can't find the img. I always place them in the root of the sd card and have tried console/terminal/flashrec methods of installing it and no luck. Ideas?

umm, ive rooted my g1 before and whatnot.

but i had to do a hard reset. completely went back to rc29.

and i tried doing all this, but i cant access the market.

i see the apps on the market but when i click on one it says "the requested item could not be found"

therefore, i cant use telnet or the file manager ways.

can anybody help me? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] rabidkangaroo:
ack!!! red green blue screen of death?!

I followed the instructions to root my g1 the old way. Seemed to work. But I was then trying to do it the "new" way. I couldn't find astro in the market, so I used apkinstaller. It failed to install the apk (now I understand it will fail if your phone is already root, correct?). I then decided to reinstall the dreaimg.nbh file again. But now it says it fails! What to do?!

*UPDATE*

I must have corrupted the nbh file when transferring the last time. Was finally able to try again today after getting a miniSD to SD adapter. Now it works and am working on trying to install a donut rom.

*UPDATE2*

flashing a new recovery image doesn't seem to work. I started with testkeys (someone has said that when you boot into the recovery console it should say testkeys, but I didn't see that, so I can't verify that it flashed correctly). I tried the cyanogen 1.4.img recovery (so that I can use GParted to make ext2 partition), but get that there is no room. What gives? Why don't my recovery images seem to work? I've managed to load in the US donut version from first page of this thread. I want to be using:

AOSP_ADP_1.6_r1.4_DRD20_rooted_base_v2

AOSP_1.6_DRD20_ExpPack_v2.4.2

with apps on the sd card.

*UPDATE3*

Finally discovered that alt+L will show the version of the recovery console. Could this info please be placed near instructions to flash the recovery image so people can check?! And I am using the testkeys recovery console.

*UPDATE4*

Went back to dreaimg image to be able to flash recovery image (the "stock" donut provided on first page of thread doesn't allow it for some reason). Flashed recovery cyanogen 1.4 image instead of testkeys. It worked, but should I have put the recovery image somewhere else because of its size? Booted into the cyanogen recovery console and followed the instructions here:

http://androidcommunity.com/forums/vbglossar.php?do=showentry&id=39

with the exception that the su command couldn't be found. It showed a # prompt and allowed the parted process though.

*UPDATE5*

Hopefully this is the last update to this post. I have successfully updated to the rom and update pack I wanted! NOTE: It takes a LONG time to boot up after recovering the ROM and update pack. Thank you to all who have posted instructions and modified files. Hopefully what I have posted will help someone else too.

[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
to which cupcake update are you referring? i do not even have the word "cupcake" in the OP anywhere .. the signature failure could mean you are trying an update for a non-rooted phone .. or the reverse .. you are applying an OTA update to a rooted phone .. either way it will never work

when posting a problem it is usually best to explain your situation fully .. which ROM you are using .. which steps you followed .. from where you downloaded the file you are flashing .. if you have double checked the MD5 sum on the file so you know the file downloaded completely (i have yet to post them, but it is on my "todo" list)

Hey LucidREM I'm Asking For Your Help. I Bought A New G1 A Week Ago Because My First Stopped Working. So For The Past Week I've Been Flashing Roms Because Of A Problem I'm Having. I Use Titanium Backup To BackUp/Restore My Applications But When I Restore The Applications To My Phone, Only Half Of My Applications Go To The Phone. I Unrooted Then Re-rooted My Phone Twice But That Didn't Work. I'm Not Sure If The Apps 2 SD Works Or If It's The Phone Itself.

Do You Have Any Suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
Apps2SD

what ROM were you using? i am not 100% familiar with Titanium .. but perhaps some of your apps go to the second partition?!? CM5 changed the mount point from /system/sd to /sd-ext .. older recovery images can have issues as well .. i would make sure recovery is new, radio is new, etc .. back to the way the phone was when you performed the initial backup

so can you pull up ALL the apps in Titanium as being backed up?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpEnTBoY:
does anyone know if there is something on the phone that caches MAC addresses (other than just an ARP table).

At my work we recently changed out a router but gave it the same name it used to have. We used to broadcast the SSID but are no longer doing so so I had to "add" a network. I put in the SSID and try to connect but what I'm seeing in the log is not the MAC address of the actual device so I'm not sure where it's getting it from.

e.g: Device address: 00:A2:F0:A3:00:F1

What I see in the logs:

V/WifiMonitor( 1400): Event [CTRL-EVENT-STATE-CHANGE id=-1 state=2]
V/WifiStateTracker( 1400): Changing supplicant state: DISCONNECTED ==> SCANNING
V/WifiMonitor( 1400): Event [Trying to associate with 02:5c:71:ee:ac:1c (SSID='MYSSID' freq=2417 MHz)]
V/WifiMonitor( 1400): Event [CTRL-EVENT-STATE-CHANGE id=-1 state=3]
V/WifiStateTracker( 1400): Changing supplicant state: SCANNING ==> ASSOCIATING
D/WifiStateTracker( 1400): Deconfiguring interface and stopping DHCP
D/SettingsWifiEnabler( 2956): Received network state changed to NetworkInfo: type: WIFI[], state: DISCONNECTED/DISCONNECTED, reason: (unspecified), extra: (none), roaming: false, failover: false, isAvailable: true
V/WifiMonitor( 1400): Event [Authentication with 02:5c:71:ee:ac:1c timed out.]

I've looked on other devices that have successfully connected to verify the new target MAC but it looks like my phone might have a MAC association with the SSID _saved_ somewhere?

I've tried forgetting the network and re-adding it as well as rebooting the phone etc. Any ideas? is there a db somewhere that might store this info?

I'm having a very frustrating time with email and T-Mobile.

Swapped from Orange recently and for the life of me cannot access my email. I constantly get 'sync error' in the mail app. If I go to the Gmail home page Opera crashes!

I've checked every setting I can think of. Set up the account manually as POP rather IMAP. Gone back to stock SPL and rom. Called T-Mobile but they are clueless and not interested as they didn't supply my Blackstone.

It all works fine over wifi and putting in either an Orange or Three sim triggers the automatic set up which also works fine.

Put the T-Mobile sim back in and problem returns.

Please help save my sanity.

I apologise if this has come up before but have tried searching.

Don't know if this helps but I also get an 0x80072f78 error when I try to connect to gmail.com with Internet Explorer.
[Touch HD General] Nerdino:
Just a quickie thought, but have you done a proper hard reset? I flashed a ROM and couldn't get the auto network setup to come up. When I realised it needed a hard reset, I lost the configurations I'd spent some time playing with, but the auto network setup popped up and ended some of my problems.

I also found that I had to untick the proxy setting that T-Mobile accounts use. Not sure if it's important but it may solve your issues, and it works for me.

One other issue I have seen some people post is the 3G or HSDPA will only work properly once you disable it, reset, connect to data via GSM/GPRS then renable 3G, and possibly reset again. Food for thought, but the proxy option was the culprit for me.
[Touch HD General] pjfriend:
Hey Nerdino

Was just about to write back and say I'd hard reset half a dozen times and double checked the proxy setting. To be sure though I checked the proxy again and it was checked! I may well have been hallucinating before but I don't think so.

Whatever though, I unchecked it and it's working fine.

Thanks very much indeed for the reply.

With my old roms I was able to go into my contacts choose a contact and press the Call Hardkey. Now it would call the default number (if there are more than one it was the mobile nr.).

The same goes for the people tab with my favourites.

I just had to choose one favourite and press the Hardkey and it would call the defiend number (If you set up a favourite it let you choose a number).

Since I flashed the Rom where every I press the Call Hardkey it get`s myselfe into the dialer...

Maybe I mixed something up in the settings?

Does anybody has any experience with something like this?
