If you have a REAL SPL (i.e. Engineering, or Hard -- can't imagine why anyone would want that though since it doesn't offer any real advantage over Engineering), then there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to go flashing nbh's/downgrade to rc29. The reason for this is that these bootloaders do NOT enforce signatures, and DO allow full access to the system. The only reason for going to rc29 is if you have a RECENT VERSION UNHACKED device that is CARRIER BRANDED (and happens to be compatible).

If you have Engineering SPL or similar, then the ONLY thing that nbh's will do is RISK CREATING A BRICK.

Yes, you can brick *any* time you write an NBH, IPL, or SPL (not just the deathspl). Chances are low, but if something goes wrong, its dead.
[G1 General] sprarky:
OK cool. Thanks for that. That confirms a few things for me.

Now this might seem a little ignorant but how do i get my root back now? I have done several searches but couldn't really find anything that confirms the exact method for this situation.

If there is no reason to go back to RC29 and do that whole process again then whats the other way of doing it?

As i now have the normal recovery console back any attempt to try and flash CM's just results in the phone telling me i cant su (or don't have root)

Thanks again
[G1 General] jackslim:
Sounds like you have acess to fastboot with your spl you could use fastboot to flash cyanogen's or whichever recovery image you choose, then you would be able flash any rom's you would like through recovery
[G1 General] sprarky:
Yeah i do! that sounds exactly like what i need to do. You know of a how-to anywhere for doing this?

Cheers
[G1 General] jackslim:
Do you already have fastboot installed on your pc?? If not a simple search of theese forums can yield you instructions on setting up fastboot. Once you have it installed you can open up a terminal and go the directory in which your recovery image is stored and run the command

fastboot flash recovery cm-recovery1.4.img assuming you're using cyanogen's recovery
[G1 General] sprarky:
Hey,

Thanks for your help. Managed to get it all working they way you described after some searching and a few hours. Thanks again dude.

OolonColuphid - Hope i didn't hijack your thread too badly. Does any of the above information help you out at all? I found it fairly easy to flash the recovery from fastboot then flash back to whatever i want via the recovery console.

Cheers,

Sean

Alright, I've been doing some reading up on rooting and it sounds interesting. I tried following the steps on theUnlockr.com but keep running into issues. Just FYI, I recently upgraded to 1.6 Donut from 1.5 thru a phone update so it is NOT stock in my phone. Please let me know what I need to do (in lamens terms) so I can get this going.

G1/Dream

Firmware 1.6 Donut

Build Number: DRC83

Please let me know what I need to do (in lamens terms) so I can get this going.
[G1 General] jackslim:
You're phone is still considered stock because it has unmodified software on it, even though you have 1.6 it's through the official OTA update whether installed manually or recieved in due time over your network. You can root your phone, pretty much just follow the steps outlined in this guide found on theese forums

[G1 General] merulz:
Bumping this because I can't get my G1 to downgrade from Donut. I get a colored screen when trying to do the first step listed here.

edit: It's stock, no modded software whatsoever besides Tetherbot (which I don't know if that counts :P)
[G1 General] OolonColuphid:
Yes, I can. Did somebody say something about FlashRec in this thread? Maybe they did, but they used different terminology?

By the way. I have since found out (on my own, by reading) that, no, FlashRec does not work in donut

Trying to Root by Downgrading Donut to RC29 or Cupcake

Please Please Help!

I have one rooted G1 phone already. I was trying to do a second G1 root, however it had the Donut 1.6 update. My mistake was by using the 1 click root method, it seemed to have messed up my Android system recovery <2e>. I am getting this error of "E: can't open /cache/recovery/command" and installation aborts every time. This is bad because my options are limited w/o root. Is there any ways I can flash a Rom other than through Recovery, like using terminal emulator(need su ), adb, fastboot(need the engineering bootloader)

Anyways I give up, and dont know what else to do. Again the phone is a G1 and has been upgraded to Donut via OTA. Is there anyway for flash the recovery somehow?

What does this ROM offer over others? Is this still 1.6?
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
Yeah, I'ma like this ROM... I checked it out on YouTube just now and I'm impressed. It looks better than Hero.

Thanks Drake, thanks Diaz...

You all make me so happy that I bought a G1. I don't even think about upgrading because you guys bring the upgrades to us... why buy anything else?
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:

[G1 Android Development] LatinSilEighty:
this should run on the mytouch right? i mean this was originally made for a phone with no keyboard, let me know if there's something you know that i dont know about it before i attempt to flash it to see if it works
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
Good question...

Flash and find out. I am...
[G1 Android Development] wicked_beav:
So basically the major bugs are no use of sd card which means no music and we have no wifi correct? I'm testing it right now, so anything else I find will post for you.
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
Is tether included in this?

Very important because that is how I connect.

[Touch HD Accessories] _ray_:
Hi guys,

i am thinking of buying a new bluetooth headset for my touch hd. I also got a ps3 and was wondering if i buy the official ps3 bluetooth headset will it work with the HD. Any Help in that issue will be greatly appreciated.
[Touch HD Accessories] s4nd3rs:
Yes, I bought one for my PS3 and whilst never had the need for bluetooth headset for the HD, gave it a go and it works fine. So now use it on the odd occassion, but otherwise it stays docked next to PS3.

Can't give a particular reason since i'm not an experienced headset user, but if primary use was for phone over PS3, perhaps not the best choice.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katmandu421:
I've been running the Android port on my HTC Touch on Sprint for over a year now and am super excited to be finally getting the Hero on Sprint! With that said, I have one final question that I would like to know before pre-ordering: does audio come through the charging port like other HTC devices? I know that it has a 3.5mm jack at the top, which is great, but it is also nice to be able to dock so that the phone charges and outputs audio (for in-car docking and podcast/music streaming).

TIA
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katmandu421:
Bump. Surely this is a quick yes/no for someone who has the old style htc headset, right?

Waiting to pre-order tomorrow, any help greatly appreciated!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Micksta:
All I know is that the HTC Magic' USB port did have audio included in it with an adaptor. Don't really know about the Hero's USB port...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphuyal:

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csasek:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Prerna:
I got an HD at the moment. It's a great device, and the HD2 looks so promising.

BUT, I miss the keyboard of my Hermes whenever I want to answer an email or an SMS. Touch screens are not satisfactory in that aspect.

Therefore, my next choice will be a device with an integrated keyboard, and I start imagining a TouchPro-like, with the same specs like the HD2 (such as 1ghz proc).

Has anyone heard of this dream device coming up in the market soon? Given HTC announced an available upgrade to WM 6.5 for the "old" devices, I fear they plan to delay the release of a new one.

Thanks for your feedback and thoughts.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] iceman4357:
HTC Leo, add a keyboard= perfect device. Im sure they will release something like it soon.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Ramsfan_Jim:
And out this month as well apparently!

http://www.htc.com/uk/press_product_info.aspx?p_id=297

Good job there's no keyboard, or it might come close to the TP2....;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Shasarak:
I wouldn't get your hopes up, if I were you. :( I suspect a Leo with a hardware keyboard would probably be too bulky and heavy for people to buy it; even without a keyboard the Leo weighs 157g. Think how much thicker and heavier the TP2 is than the TD2 (or even the Touch HD). I'm sure there will eventually be a Touch Pro3 (probably at least as much smaller than the Leo as the TP2 is smaller than the Touch HD, and maybe more so). But the HD2 came out a year after the original Touch HD, and I suspect we won't see a TP3 until a year after the TP2 was originally released - that is, not till next May.

I´m sure HTC has something to surprise us, if not Toshiba will eat some part of the market (dedicated to hardware keyboard users like you and me)

Hey OP, please add a poll to this thread and let´s see what users think!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] docprego:
HD2 virtual keyboard should be quite good because the screen will be 4.3" and capacitive.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] HelloWorld3:
I think it's too early to start talking about a successor. :(

I just bought my Touch Pro 2.

Haha. I guess I just have to start facing the inevitable. I doubt the Touch Pro2 will be able to run Windows Mobile 7, so I guess I'll have to upgrade anyways.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] beast0898:
WM7 should run fine on it too, WM7 is just an update like 6.5.

WM8 is a complete OS redesign from the ground up so WM8 will be a little harder to get working on the Rhodium, doesn't mean it can't be done though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Ramsfan_Jim:
A guy from HTC told me yesterday Windows 7 wouldn't run on the TP2 - but I guess its some way off being able to confirm this yet....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
Perhaps officially not but I´m sure a great Chef form XDA will manage to port wm7 or even wm8 to TP2!!

I have an Universal 2005 old and HTC told me that I couldn´t update to wm6 and now I´m using wm6.5 cooked ROM!!:cool::eek:

Thanks to XDA our devices can extend it´s modernity period!!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sancmat:
Wait until closer to the release of 7. If you ask the HTC reps if you can run 6.5 on a Kaiser they will tell you that it can not.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] godefroi:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] skyler17:
Expect the "touch pro 3" to follow the queue that HTC established last year. The facts are:

-HTC staggers the HD and Diamond/Pro flagship releases on fall/spring announcements.

-The HD series is cutting edge and expensive for this. The Diamond series is a more affordable, mainstream version of the HD line.

-The next generation of the Diamond (for now we could just refer to it as the diamond 3) will have the same processor and capacitive screen as the HD2. Just expect the screen size to be smaller and the design philosophy to be different than that of the HD2. Bye Bye zoom bar. I would not doubt the intro of an 8 megapixel camera either.

-The next generation of the Touch Pro should have the same specs as the HD2 + a keyboard and a smaller screen than the HD2. Also expect further innovations for business-centric users. (Example, with the TP2's innovation was its awesome speakerphone)

Companies flagship philosophies usually last for 3 years. Expect the Diamond and Touch Pro branding to stick around for next spring.

Lastly, don't expect WinMo 7 on next year's Touch pro 3 or diamond 3.

I would not doubt that HTC would be a partner with Microsoft that will introduce one of the first WinMo7 phones though. The first phone will not likely have a Sense interface. (Just as how HTC didn't skin the new operating system, Android, until it released the Hero)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Tomo:
What you say makes a lot sense. Is there a possibility that HTC will say "Bye, Bye WinMo, Hello Android" on a big scale
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jalyst:
I don't reckon they will on their flagship devices, maybe just before the end of the year or in 18mth+, but it gets really hard to look that far...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] skyler17:
I think that HTC is very comfortable with their two operating systems. They have one made by Microsoft, the computer giant, that is designed to cater towards the business market. Then they have a second made by Google, the internet giant, that caters to consumers.

I don't think that you will see Windows Mobile fade away any time soon in HTC's handset lineup.

HTC is in a strong position and a main partner for both the guys in Redmond and in Silicon Valley.

Touch Pro 3 Wish List

It IS a bit early to be thinking about successors to the TP2, but we're techies and that's what we do:)

The perfect follow-up to my beloved TP2 would:

1. Have an optical d-pad/trackpad in the middle of the four bottom buttons (Am I the only person who misses d-pads? They are easier to use one-handed and on the go IMO.)

2. 1 Ghz or better processor

3. 3.5MM headphone jack

4. Mappable side button (I like tactile buttons obviously.)

5. More tilting angle on the screen

6. Less slippery finish

7. Multi-touch resistive screen (Are those mainstream yet? I actually prefer resistive for several reasons, but I know I'm in the minority.)

8. Radio w/ support for fastest wireless network speeds, Wireless N, and support for both T-Mobile's and Att's 3g bands.

9. More internal storage and support for largest size micro SD cards.

10. 1500+ battery

I obviously haven't tried Windows Mobile Phone 7 Series or whatever in the world it's called so I can't make a judgment on it, but honestly from everything I've seen, I'm not impressed. From first impressions, I would venture to say that I won't be upgrading to the new OS when the first devices come out, if ever. Also, I'm pretty satisfied with WinMo 6.5. Combined with the hardware of the TP2 and Sense UI, I feel as if its the most complete phone available, even if not the "best". It does everything I could want it to and then some. WinMO 7 on the surface appears to do a lil more while looking better doing it (in most people's opinions), but sacrifices a great deal to fit in. I really want to see the final products.

I truly feel like a TP3 would be extremely successful if marketed correctly. Even with the old processor, whenever I show my phone to iphone users, techies, casual people or anyone else, they've typically never heard of it but are immediately impressed. I know they've sold quite a few TP2's, but with a few upgrades, it could be even more successful.

Are you listening HTC?! Am I asking too much?!?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepoetvd776:
I know this is completely out there, but I've search other websites to no avail, so I hope that if there is a way to do this, then XDA are the people to know how.

Is there a way to sort the contact list by nicknames? In other words, lets say my friends name is John Sanchez, and in Picasa I have his nick name as "Johnny Boy", is there a way that maybe on my G1, it could sort people by nickname.

Or that when someone calls me it says, Johnny Boy, instead of John Sanchez?

Maybe some sort of hack?

I say this because Picasa changes the names on my phone since they are synced. I know the "quick fix" would be to go to Picasa and in the Name field, put Johnny Boy, and then under Nick Name: John Sanchez, but then all my people tags would be messed up in the web albums.

Anybody knows how to get around this?
