Ok, I won't "tell you" it's on the forum, but it is. Did you even look here? HERE

This is a step by step of what to do. If you can read, you can root.

Since this is your first post I won't "tell you" to have a better attitude and not be lazy.

Welcome to the forum and thanks for not clicking any of the stickies labeled READ ME BEFORE YOU POST in any of the forums. We appreciate this, because now we get to spend time reading this thread and being annoyed, when the time could be better served helping people that actually read the directions and maybe got stuck.

I started reading through that, downloading the files that it said to download but I'm stuck at the "1.6 Recovery Image" file. The link goes to a page that offers files for the Android DevPhone, but I just have a normal TMobile G1. What file am I supposed to use?

You're kidding, right? When I tried that upgrade tutorial (the one at myhangoutonline.com) *none* of the files were available for download. Every single one I clicked on went to a "404" page.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawicz:
Ok, thanks, but... I'm still a bit confused: all the instructions I've seen for upgrading to Android 2.1 say to use cyanogenmod, but the cyanogenmod site says that it is based on Android 1.6 (according to cyanogenmod.com/about), so is that really what I'm supposed to use?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrandroid:
I apologize, stupid SEO plugin was rewriting the url and messing up a seperate plugin. Links are now working if you still need to upgrade.

My tutorial shows you how to root and upgrade everything and install cyanogenmod 4.2.15.1 if you want to try the 2.1 version which is in testing, go to the cyanogenmod repository on my site, go into the testing folder for the G1 and download that rom instead. Use that rom instead of 4.2.15.1 as the final step.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawicz:
Thanks for all the answers! I think I have a good understanding of what I need to do now, so here goes...

*crosses fingers*
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawicz:
I'm following the instructions on myhangoutonline.com.

Well, so far so good, with some minor hiccups:

During the downgrade your phone step, when the phone says "Press the action key" after step 6, it's talking about the trackball button. Took me a little while to figure that out. :)

However, after I pressed it, it just went back to the initial multicolor gradient screen, with the addition of a line in the middle that said "Serial0". (maybe it was there before, but I missed it?) I ended up having to pull the battery because I could figure out how to make it reboot.

After reboot I had to go through the Google sign in process. Not a big deal, but it'd be nice to mention that this is necessary.

Upgrading recovery seemed to go pretty much as described. On to the apparent dangerous step of upgrading the radio & spl!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawicz:
Uh oh! It looks like something didn't work. I started up in recovery mode, but there's no option in the menu for "Mount SD card". :(

I tried going to console, then "ls /sdcard", but no files show up, and /sdcard doesn't show up as a mounted filesystem when I run "mount".

I couldn't figure out how to get out of the console ("exit" just took me back to a "press enter" prompt, and then back into the console), so I ended up pulling the battery again.

Now what? Should I try upgrading recovery again?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawicz:
I think I figured it out, at least somewhat:

It looks like the right recovery image is installed: on the recovery screen is says "Build: RA-dream-v1.7.0"

Also, I guess I'm supposed to have the phone plugged in to the usb cable at this point. The instructions don't say anything about that.

Once plugged in, when starting the recovery, I get a message in mswindows about an unknown "Android Phone" device. It appears that I can just ignore that. (I clicked cancel in the windows installed driver dialog)

The menu option "USB-MS toggle" seems to be the one I need to choose to mount the sd card. When I pick that, the phone once again shows up as a normal drive. So I'm now able to copy files over. Why couldn't I have copied the files over before, during the upgrading recovery step?

So, it looks like I might be back in business, but where do I get DangerSPL.zip from? Should that actually say "spl-signed.zip" ?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawicz:
Well, spl-signed.zip appears to actually be the "Danger SPL", as it says at the top (duh!) and according to what I found other places.

Another slight difference: there is no "Apply any update from SD" menu option, but the "Flash zip from sdcard" seems to do the same operation.

According to http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/DangerSPL_and_CM_5_for_Dream, a radio version of 2.22.23.02 is acceptable. That is what my phone originally had, but I ended up downgrading to the version specified in the guide anyway (2.22.19.26I)

uh oh again: it didn't boot up normally! After I selected the ota-radio...zip file it says a number of things about extracting the radio, then installing the radio (after I pressed home+back). Then it rebooted into a image of android coming out of a box, and rebooted again into the recovery screen, except it says Formatting CACHE:... at the bottom. I haven't installed spl-signed.zip yet.

ugh, I hope rebooting again works. :(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawicz:
I rebooted again and it got to the normal android home screen. phew.

I went into Settings->About phone, and there *isn't* a "radio" entry. There's a "Baseband version" entry that says "62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I" I'm assuming that means the radio update worked.

I installed the spl-signed.zip file, but I had to do the multiple reboot thing again. Unfortunately, now it's sitting at the first image it has when it boots up, the one that says "T****Mobile*" and "G1", and it hasn't done anything for a several minutes. I'm going to let it sit for a few more; I hope I didn't just brick it.

This is certainly not a 10-15 minute procedure!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawicz:
I gave up waiting, and pulled the battery. It still won't boot normally, but I discovered that I can do both the recovery (home+power) boot and the fastboot (camera+power). When I do the fastboot, it looks considerably different than it did before and it says HBOOT-1.33.2005, which I guess is what it's supposed to be, but it still won't boot normally.

It looks like it's time to go find my old phone and swap the sim card over, at least until I figure out how to undo what I broke.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeincolorado:
If I'm reading your posts correctly, you got the recovery image installed and then flashed the danger spl. If that is in fact what you did, when you flash the spl it wipes out your rom. So go into recovery and mount the sdcard and copy a new rom onto it. Then unmount the sdcard and go to the flash any update selection and pick the rom file and install as normal. All should be well after that.

Also, you can see your radio version on the bootloader screen. Power off, hold camera and push power.

Yay first post!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
yep what he said ^^^^ just flash new build now and you'll be good.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawicz:
Oh, of course. I guess I should have tried to keep going with the instructions. I just assumed that when it said "reboot your phone" at the end of the update the spl step that it meant it should be in normal working form.

Well anyway, I did manage to get the new build flashed, and everything works ok. (except for the lack of the "Navigation" app, but whatever)

:D

Thanks everyone!
[Desire General] vegetaleb:
Hello!

I have a Nexus One but with Desire Rom, I want to use my WAP Alfa connection but I never could make it work, I am sure there must be a way to do it.Any one did it already?
[Desire General] Dr Doom:
Hi all looked through the forum but can't see anyone else mentioning this.

When i have headphones pluggged into my Desire there is a noticeable hissing noise coming through them (I have a pair of fairly expensive Shure headphones) which seems to come on and off depending on whether the phone thinks it should be outputting noise. Anyone else noticed this? Was dead silent on my Iphone.

Anyway, as per the title above, when i am listening to music etc through the headphones in addition to the hiss i have just described i can hear the phone connecting to the network. Not sure how best to describe the sound sorry but it's like the one you get if you put your phone next to a speaker while you're making a call. It's not particularly loud but is extremely annoying. It's intermittent and seems to mainly occur when the phone is using GPRS or Edge.

It also occurs when i receive a call with my headphones plugged in.

Has anyone else experienced this or can anyone else test this by listening to music through headphones and browsing the web or similar?

I'm assuming it's down to poor magnetic shielding but want to see if it's just my phone or common to the Desire in general.

Cheers
[Desire General] b0yce:
No problems here using my Shure SE210 earphones. Whisper quiet using Meridian Player for both Videos and Music (FLAC).

Have you tried the earphones you get with the phone, or indeed other earphones? Just to try and isolate the problem...
[Desire General] MaTiCeK-:
I also have Shure SE210 and I rather don't use them with the Desire. The static level is just over the roof! What's more I also dislike the sound as a whole, it's tiny. I guess an equilizer could relieve this.

[Desire General] Dr Doom:
So has anyone else noticed this issue?

I use Shure SE210s too. But my point was they worked absolutely fine on my iPhone - this is why I believe the problem to be down to the phone hardware not the headphones. I can live with the slight static but the phone buzzing noises are unacceptable.
[Desire General] feju:
Hi,

I have the same issues (GPRS/EDGE noises). With any headphones I use, I can hear the phone accessing the data network. The problem is gone, when I'm on wifi. May this be related to custom ROMs and kernels? I really want to get this fixed :(
[Desire General] feju:
OK, I fixed it. Apparently I had the "only use 2G networks" option turned on! Now with 3G the issue is gone :D
[Desire General] naguz:
Reviving an old thread here, but just wanted to say I have this problem with a pair of Sennheiser CX300's and Creative Aurvanas. Airplane mode doesnt help at all. As long as the phone is outputting sound, it's hissing. It lasts about four seconds after it has stopped playing sound. It is being retunred tomorrow, after HTC claimed it was not a known problem with the phone, and told me to try and return it.

The same earbuds work without a problem on a Nokia 5800 (Xpress Music "Tube") and an iPhone 3G. If this is a problem with all Desires, mine will be returned for my money back. You can't advertise a phone as a heavyweigth media phone with such a MAJOR flaw.
[Desire General] atomfix:
This hissing noize you talk about which is only 4 seconds long also happens on my iPod touch, so I don't think its a massive problem
[Desire General] jimlad:
Listening to tunes on desire with my sennheiser 555's and it sounds excellent...

Get a very slight click when WiFi connects.
[Desire General] naguz:
The hissing noise is present all the time while the phone is producing sound AND four seconds after. So I would say it is a pretty big problem.
[HD2 General] godowsky:
My rom is the official 1.66 ita. Every time i'm calling it starts vibrations and the sound comes interrupted. It's not because of mails or sms alert, it's just vibrating. I already tried with hard reset. Anyone has the same problem? thanks
[Desire General] sonandreas:
I rooted my desire using the guide here:

http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire/

i can tell it sucessfully works because i get the superuser app in my launcher.

I want to put this rom in my phone until R3 of the modaco rom is pre-baked.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=674688

although i am a bit confused, how do i get my phone into recovery and do i have to partition my memory card before i load the rom on, i didnt make my memory card a goldcard has my phone is generic.

Can anyone advise me?

Thanks for your help.
[Desire General] rolfd:
When you rooted, you had to put your phone into recovery by holding the volume down button while powering on, then run step 2 in the root process. just do this again to get to the green recovery menu.

Do be careful though, as a lot of people are posting with issues that have caused their handsets to be semi-bricked. Personally, unless you need to re-root, or root at all, I'd wait untill there is a fix for the other problem.
[Desire General] sonandreas:
Ok thanks.

For the custom rom, do i have to do anything to the memory card or can i just install it straight away? im not too fussed about A2SD to be honest.
[Desire General] rolfd:
If you don't want A2SD then don't bother putting an ext partition on your card. Your custom rom thread should tell you if you need to wipe etc.
[Desire General] sonandreas:
Ok thanks ive been reading about A2SD but id rather wait for it to be natively included by Google so not bothered about it.

Do i have to partition it or can i just go ahead and just flash the custom rom on my phone without worrying.

Sorry about the questions, just want to make sure its good to go :)
[Desire General] rolfd:
I flashed an A2SD rom without partitioning my SD card and it was fine. It worked perfectly.

As I said above though, be really careful unless you want to join the semi-bricked club that currently have desires that have no USB/Blutooth/and FM radio. If this happens you will be fairly stuffed untill a fix is released. That fix looks like it may be a fair bit away yet though!

I was a member of the club, but managed to blag a new phone by acting stupid in the shop!
[Touch HD General] parizek:
Hello,

my friend has HD with probably stock WM 6.1 . Many times, about 4x a day he has to remove battery and start HD again.

His problem is in losing GSM network and receiving "No simcard error". It happens quite often, usually when he uses more wireless services - GPS plus phone e.g.

I tried flashing his Radio to 1.17 version, but it helped only a small bit - maybe he saved 1x reset a day :-)

Do you think that WM 6.5 could help ? It is quite limitated with a fact that I have to search only Czech roms :-)

Many thanks
[Touch HD General] Bodisson:
Oh man...

I guess you checked SIM card in other phone. And it's working there correctly...

Othervise, it looks like repair shop...
[Touch HD General] parizek:
sure I checked the SIM ;) It's not a problem with it.

It was once in a repair shop, one month without a phone and they changed whole motherboard. Now they told him the same - "We will have to change the motherboard"... It means another month without his HD and for me it seems like they are exchange shop, not repair :-)

except warranty.

Maybe Updates??? any app?? any danger?!:S

trackball color, windows fonts:mad:

do you think these are being included in 2.2?

or i have to root to get them?

actually i may root just for these issues.

Forums are full of rumors of an imminent OTA to froyo/2.2. Sometime soon. Assuming this to be the case....

What's a good strategy to prepare my N1 so that I will be in a good position to install any update, with minimal fuss?

I have am not rooted, running stock 2.1 and have 80 apps installed. I have gone to Appbrain and made a new list called "My pre 2.2 apps" and copied everything I have currently installed into there. So I can always refer back to it.

I am thinking:

1)back up Contacts, SMS's, Call logs. (Already done.)

2)Jot down a list of my few must have apps for install post update.

3)Remove the rest which are just "nice to have apps" which I rarely use, to tidy things up a bit.

Then let her rip, if and when it materialises.

Interested to hear what others have in mind.
[Nexus One General] Snooker:
I would assume that OTA'ing to Froyo would leave my installed apps as-is. Is that a silly assumption?
[Nexus One General] Mafian:
I would think the same, and if not google automatically backs them up on their servers so that when you restart your phone it reinstalls everything back on the phone..
[Nexus One General] danguyf:
No, your phone should not become appreciably hotter during the OTA install.

Step 1: Twiddle your thumbs.

Step 2: Click "Update".

That's it. The OTA won't wipe your apps. The OTA doesn't need you to make space for it. There is no need to "clean up" your phone by uninstalling apps.
[Nexus One General] logger:
HOT - I am just having warm flushes thinking about it ;) woops..

Sweet - no apps wiped. All good. I can rely on everything to be there - 100% afterwards. No need to backup or do anything then. Will back up to be sure to be sure. And will do a bit of spring cleaning in any case.

Thanks..

I think it's safe to say some of us are in the nesting phase: preparing for our Nexus Ones to give birth to 2.2 :D
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
If app2sd is really implemented in Froyo, I hope there is an easy way of transferring apps from phone memory to sd card. I don't want to be uninstalling apps and reinstalling them to the sd card. =_=
[Nexus One General] lorin.bute:
True, if apps2sd is implemented i don't want my current apps to be installed. I want everything on the sd card.

If apps2sd card is implemented i bet they will go with the complete wipe solution just to make sure there are no bugs.
[Nexus One General] Talderon:
I can't remember if 1.5 to 1.6 required a wipe, however, I would rather have a wipe and an "upgrade". Remember all the issues with "Upgrading" OS's with major changes?

I am Stock as well, so I have backed up my Contacts to SD, Backed up all my App APK's to SD (thanks to Astro) and all my Call Logs, SMS and other data that is not backed up via Google is backed up using MiQ. So I am ready to go as soon as they pull the trigger.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
I was going to say you people are preparing too early, but since I can't exactly identify the exact release date after so much speculation of it coming out at the Google I/O - or, June as I believe Flash was said to be released officially. Google is supposedly trying to incorporate Flash into Froyo, so without Flash, I assume there would be no Froyo.

Though, they could release Froyo with Flash beta..
[Nexus One General] Wisefire:
So if we have are device rooted and we want to try to get the OTA Android 2.2 update, we won't?

Any idea on what we could do to "unroot" and get the update? or should we just wait for Cyanogen's version to be released...
[Nexus One General] xCALLmeKING:
[Hot to] prepare for OTA?

1. Buy a six pack, and a pack of smokes.

2. Find a comfy chair.

3. Click "Update".

4. Drink beer, and smoke smokes.

5. Play with Froyo 2.2.

6. Wait for Cyanogen's modded Froyo.
[Nexus One General] mortzz:
Flash back to stock rom and recovery image.
[Nexus One General] :
Prepare for all your apps to break until your app developers update thme. =D

p.s. Flash will NOT be integrated into android os. So froyo isn't dependent on the state of flash.
