Here is exactly what I did:

"Before The Flash"

Running:

CyanogenRom 4.1.11.1

Dark Dream 0.9.4 Theme

CM 1.4 Recovery

Haykuro SPL 1.33.2005

Radio 2.22.19.26i

"DO NOT WIPE" at all during any of these steps!

Step 1: Downloaded both HTC 1.6 Recovery Image and CyanogenRom 4.1.99

Step 2: Put on root of SD card

Step 3: Reboot into Recovery (Home + Power)

Step 4: Applied HTC 1.6 Recovery Image Update (Did not Reboot)

Step 5: Applied CyanogenRom 4.1.99

Step 6: Rebooted (Which flashed the radio image and then rebooted back into Recovery and also formatting the cache)

Step 7: Rebooted (Took about 5 or more minutes to boot up)

No Issues found and so far pretty fast and stable! Thanks Cyanogen!!

Unnecessary steps unless you don't know how to flash a theme.

Step 8: Download gChrome 0.3.5-LS Theme for CM 4.1.99 (or any CM 4.1.99 compatible theme)

Step 9: Put on root of SD

Step 10: Reboot into Recovery (Home + Power)

Step 11: Flashed gChrome 0.3.5-LS Theme

Step 12: Reboot

Now Running CyanogenROM 4.1.99 And gChrome 0.3.5-LS Theme with Stericsons new Lockscreen Flawlessly!!! Thanks everyone for all the hard work!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrandroid:
Here are the steps I did:

(I'm using T-Mobile G1 w/ CM4.1.11.1 & CM1.4 Recovery Installed)

WHEN YOU GO TO THE HTC WEBSITE, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE SYSTEM IMAGE!!!

YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THE LAST ONE IN THE 1.6 SPOT. (THE RECOVERY IMAGE, NOT THE SYSTEM IMAGE!!!)

IT'S AN ACTUAL ROM, NOT A RECOVERY...

LEAVE YOUR RECOVERY ALONE OR YOU'LL LOSE ROOT!!!!

1. download ADP1 & 4.1.99, put both on SD Card. (links are in the first post)

2. Reboot phone into recovery

3. Wipe

4. Repair Ext (I always do before any new rom)

5. Install the ADP1 Rom (IMMEDIATELY WHEN IT STARTS INTO RECOVERY DO STEP 6, DON'T REBOOT, If you see the radio install it's because you rebooted!)

6. Install CM 4.1.99

7. Reboot and you're done...

step 5 is the trickiest... I tried rebooting after the first time it started the recovery, then it installed radio and then I installed cm4.1.99 the SECOND time it booted into recovery but that didn't work... then I did it as I mentioned above and it worked fine.... ENJOY!

So Far all the speed issues and other issues I'm reading about are happening on MT3G's... not G1's. Works great, same speed and performance as 4.1.11.1.

I did not format my ext3 partition so all my apps are still there... formating ext3 is not needed... only needed when moving from a donut to hero build and vice versa.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hendos43:
Stuck in stock.

I am getting both of these errors, and cannot think what's gone wrong. I can only assume I've accidentally installed the new radio, but that shouldn't have denied me the ability to flash anything else, should it? Ffs. Help appreciated...

Just redownloading the ADP ROM to see if starting again will work.

Right, reflashed the ADP1 ROM, didn't wipe, pushed the 4.1.99 to my sdcard as update.zip using adb (since my recovery image got overwritten), tried to flash, and got the same problem. ('Installation aborted'). This is ****ing ridiculous. I can't escape the ADP ROM now. Going to try and flash 4.1.99 using adb, but i can't reboot the phone now, or i'll have the same issue as before.

You should have root to use flash_image from the commandline. You should boot into fastboot - mode, then you should be able to flash to recovery image.

Or perhaps get root using any of the still working methods for rooting your device.

Hi Guys,

Before upgrading I'd like to know if there's *anyone* who has working Bluetooth after installing CM 4.1.99. I've read a couple of reports from people for whom it doesn't work, and I would hate to be stuck without working BT after upgrading so I rather hold off on it until any BT issues are worked out.

So, therefore, apart from the people who did experience BT issues, are there also people who do have BT working with the latest CM?

Hello all,

For some reason I cannot download the HTC recovery image that is required. Can someone please post a link to it? The image in question is " HTC Dream/ADP1/G1: http://developer.htc.com/adp.html "

TIA
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sacredsoul:
Alright guys. This is how I went from Akirah's 3.0 Donut to 4.1.99. With no wipe!

1. Get the 2 required files to SD.

2. Flash the recovery image. Let it do its thing. Reboot when it asks you to. Let it run the setup. Dont panic when you see a weird picture on your screen. Soon, you will be automatically booted into recovery.

3. Flash 4.1.99. Reboot into recovery again. Alt-X and run "fix_permissions". Let it do it's thing. It may take awhile. Dont panic when you see alarming messages (eg. Reinstall) on your screen. It's normal.

4. Boot up your phone normally. You should get get a tsunami of force closes. All the apps from the previous build will force close. Now reboot again. This time, there won't be any force closes... except for one. More on that later.

5. Happily on 4.1.99 with all my sms, apps, contacts etc intact! And as speedy as ever. No lag or jerkiness here. Never tried BT. Have no use for it.

However, the one thing I cant seem to solve it this mysterious FC. Google Partner Setup (process.com.google.andriod.partnersetup) is the culprit. No idea why. Other then that minor hiccup, everthing else is Rosie :D

PS: I realize "What I did" came off more like instructions. I'm tired from 3 days of 13hr shifts so forgive me.
