**EDIT** Figured if I have a post here, it might as well be useful.
Here is the update:

**This download might need to be refreshed once or twice before it works. If you get 503 server error, try again, if it doesn't work after a while use the links below.

Steps to upgrade:
1: Download the file and rename/save it as update.zip (some users found just plain update works best (no .zip))
2: Place the file on your mini SD card and insert it into your G1 (card formatting requirements still unknown, so if fat does not work, try fat32 and vice versa) with THE PHONE OFF
3: While the phone IS STILL OFF, Hold down the "Home" and press the power button (end call) (keep holding "Home"
3: Wait for

open your keyboard and press Alt+L
4: When you see yellow text, pless Alt+S
5: When it says "Installation Complete" you can press "Home" + "Back" to reboot.
6: Wait for your phone to completely reboot and allow it to finish writing your radio rom during reboot
7: Enjoy
These instructions are paraphrased from other users and are not written by me.

So people will see this and not start a million more topics about how to manually update. Everybody isnt going to read an 8+ page post.

Worked Great for me.. Just downloaded the update file and it took about three minutes to install from the SD, then it asks to hit home and back at the same time to reboot. It then installed the radio and rebooted (Twice)... THEN.... Alls working great and it says RC29. Same as my other G1 that was sent the update the other day. Feel like I'm back to the good ol times of udating my HTC Universal.

almost time you have the answer to your problem inside of other thread and you cant found it.
is only for info,
thanks

If all your files are missing the .xxx extension style only rename it to update. If you see .zip at the end of the file rename it to update.zip
If you are having trouble feel free to IM, PM, email me and I will do my best to help.

Just flashed this (like the retard I am) and now I have a build that appears to be a TEST BUILD. Data as follows:
Firmware Version: 1.0
Baseband Version: 62.33.20.08H_1.22.12.29
Kernel version: 2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0
[email protected] #6
Build number: kila-user 1.0 TC4-RC29 115247
ota-rel-keys,for-testing,release-keys
Trying to reflash to the SD card update RC19-RC28 fails with a long, cryptic error.
Any ideas?
MOD Edit: Link removed due to possible device bricking...

AWESOME thanks guyd

What does the error say?

OMG! I finally got it working. I have tried this near a dozen times and nothing.
Note to all others: Plug in the phone over usb to transfer the file. DO NOT take out the sd card and put it on their like that. It wont work! (for me atleast). I put the file on the phone over usb, not taking out the card, and it is currently updating.

you might want to update the instructions to state:
With the phone OFF hold the home button and press the power button to turn the phone on (WHILE STILL HOLDING THE HOME BUTTON)

I would be careful trying that version as the filename is not the same as the filename everyone else is trying (signed-kila-ota-115247-prereq.TC4-RC19+RC28.zip) and seems to be a test build. The bad part is that the filenames look so close I can see all the new ppl viewing not noticing the difference and trying it.

Changed, thx

I've already installed the "test version", and now I can't get back from it. I know, I'm a retard.
Here is the error message that the phone gives me when I try to restore to the RC29 build that everyone else is using:
Code:
Installing update...
E:Failure at line 1:

"tmobile/kila/dream/trout:1.0/TC4-RC28/114235:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keysInstallation aborted.
Press Home+Back to reboot
Does this show anything?

Worked for me. Thanks. Submitted to engadgetmobile.com...

lol...its funny to see everyone on all the HTC/Android forums....lol

Correct!
That was shockingly simple! /sarcasm
If you did a back-up with nandroid beforehand, just pull the system, boot and data partitions off your SD card and flash them in the SPL the same way you updated to cupcake.
If you did not back-up your phone, you will need to start fresh with an official ROM. Grab either the RC29 (US) or RC7 (UK) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480and copy it over to your SD Card. Boot your phone into SPL mode and you should be prompted automatically to start an update. When this completes, you will have to get root on your phone again and update to JF 1.3

yup (it's ok )
alright, did it, it seems to have worked, but now when i try to sign in to my account on the g1...it tells me that there is a problem:
"there is a problem communicating with the google servers.
this could be temporary problem or your sim card may not be provisioned for data services. if it continues, call customer care."

you probably don't have service its happen to me once try moving to better signal
EDIT: DiD You do a wipe from recovery?
if not try that too
Step 1. Download JF RC30 Mod ( http://android-dls.com/files/jf/v1.31/JFv1.31_RC30.zip )
Step 2. Rename from JFv1.31_RC30.zip to update.zip
Step 3. Copy update.zip to the root of your SD card.
Step 4. Turn off phone (hold red (end) button, click "Power off")
Step 5. Hold Home+Red to enter Recovery Mode.
Step 6. Press CTRL+W to wipe
Step 7. Press CTRL+S to "update". (this will put you back to RC30 modded)
(optional) Step 7.b. Press CTRL+W again to be safe.
Step 8. Press Home+Back to reboot phone
Step 9. Let Android completely boot
Step 10. Delete update.zip from your sd card.
Step 11. Power off the phone again, and boot using Home+Red (to enter recovery again)
Step 12. Press CTRL+B to make a nand backup.
Step 13. Don't mess with cupcake or other developer builds unless you know what you're doing.
EDIT: Also for Step 12, this creates a folder called "nandroid" in the root of your sd card. I recommend you back this folder up into a safe place. This folder now contains (if you followed my steps correctly) a backup of a stock RC30 mod.
If you decide to mess with your phone, and end up not liking it again:
Step 1. Make sure you have HardSPL installed on your phone (search forums for that.)
Step 2. Get a copy of fastboot (tested and proven to work on Windows Vista [for me atleast])
Step 3. Copy boot.img, data.img, and system.img to the same location as fastboot
Step 4. Power off phone.
Step 5. Hold camera button and Red button until you see the 3 androids skateboarding
Step 6. Make sure your cable is plugged in, and press the back button one time (phone should now read "FASTBOOT" instead of "SERIAL0")
Step 7. Type the following commands:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
This will set your phone back to its original state.
koush, that was an awesome statement made by an image...lol..... seems like there is a lot of spoonfeeding going on now that everyone has root.......
if you're going to read the directions enough to get yourself into trouble, but not enough to get yourself out...
at least read this before you start asking questions

Hopefully by now the OP has figured out how to revert to JF 1.31. Can we get this thread locked/deleted before it goes sour?
the site-forums search is a bit..............!!!
Always use the top one....uses google directly for XDA. Located here.
If you can't use that search feature to find what you are looking for, sell your phone and computer, or learn what keywords should be used.

Step By Step Way to root Using Flashrec(Updated 4/5)

This video I posted is to help people get the custom rom installed which will enable root. This is for people who do not want to go the adb shell way. This method is simpler but will require you to flash a custom ROM onto your phone. You will not have to download the SDK for this method.
*** Use at your own risk. Although i have not come across any one on forums who bricked their phone, there is sill a possibility that this can brick your phone. I take no responsibility if you brick your phone.**
Have tested this on Windows 7 and Windows Xp
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdmkTFAG3PM
Hey everyone, I made a video on this, and some people said I should do a step by step guide, so here goes.
First things first, you are going to need to download these files.
flashrec -- http://zenthought.org/system/files/asset/2/flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2.apk
Amon RA Recover Image 1.6.2 -- http://rapidshare.com/files/360288584/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img
Amon RA Recover Image 1.6.2 Mirror -- http://www.4shared.com/file/257274510/180ea19a/recovery-RA-heroc-v162.html
[ROM] MoDaCo 1.1 Custom ROM (has firmware 1.5) -- http://content.modaco.net/hero/1.1-update-heroc-modacocustomrom-core-signed.zip
OR​
[ROM] DamageControl v 2.05 (has firmware 2.1) --

OR​
[ROM] Fresh Rom 2.0d (has firmware 2.1) --
http://geekfor.me/new-release/fresh-20d
Do not extract the Rom zip file, it needs to stay in the zip.
Ok, lets do this in steps, should make it easier:
Step 1: Mount the sd card and place all the files downloaded onto the root of the sdcard.
Step 2: Download some sort of file manager, ex Estrongs File Manager, and run/open the flashrec apk.
Step 3: Once it's finished installing, unplug the usb cable, run the app, and hit the button, "backup recovery image". If you get an error, try rebooting your phone, make sure the usb cable is unplugged.
Step 4: Exit app, and mount the sd card again, and move recovery-backup.img to your desktop, then rename recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img to recovery-backup.img
Step 5: Unmount sdcard, unplug usb cable, and go back into the flashrec app(should be named recovery flasher in all programs list)
Step 6: hit restore backup image. Once finished flashing, power down phone.
Step 7: After you power down your phone, hold the Vol Down button, then hold down the power button. Phone should boot into hboot. Press home for recovery.
Step 8: To ensure you have a backup of your phone before we continue, do a nandroid v2.2 backup.
Step 9: After the nandroid backup is complete, you can now choose apply "sd card update choose", and choose the modaco or damage control rom
Step 10: Reboot your phone and you should be all set.
Any issues or anything unclear, let me know and I will try to help make it clear.

Just to confirm, the steps in this vid are all I need to do to get the phone rooted with the modaco rom. I don't need to go through all the other steps as long as I'm cool with flashing the rom?
Sorry for the newbness.... but thank you for your time!

What was the error you got in the vid when you did the backup with flashrec? Because I get the same error. It says "Backup FAILED: Could not run command." and I never get a button that says restore.
Should I type recovery.img in before I hit backup?

It was because I left the usb cable connected. It was being weird.
reboot fixed that.... standby....
Booted in hboot mode, pressed home for the recovery menu, HTC logo came up... then a huge
symbol with a dead Hero lying next to it! Scary.
Rebooted itself after a moment and now seems normal.
Thoughts?

Must have not installed the recovery image. Did you type it in the blank space before hitting restore recovery image ?
Yeah, I did... hmm...

Nope. Same thing. I backup and it says backup complete. I enter recovery.img into the blank field (which is what I renamed the img file to) and hit restore and it says flash complete (or something). Then, I turn off my phone, reboot in hboot mode, hit home, get the HTC logo, then bam-- scary warning/dead phone symbol.
I'm gonna try one more thing....

Ok, let's try this. Rename the recovery img file to the name that flash rec makes. It should be recovery-backup.img . This method is said not to work with some phones. If this is correct, you're going to have to use the other method.
Rename it and then do flash rec again, or rename it and go straight to the hboot sequence?

My Stable NAND build (2.6.25 kernel + casacristo's RLS18 ROM)

Not-so-Super Froyo was my best rom build but too much crashes and app forecloses inched me closer to bringing back Windows Mobile. After a while of experimentations I think I found my best combo ever ---- l1q1d's 2.6.25 kernel and casacristo Valentine ROM. Thanks!!!
My screenshots. Not the default appearance though.

}
Here's my setup for NAND Installation: (Download all 4 files)
a. casacristo's VALENTINE ROM build (extract androidinstall.tar from the downloaded file using winrar or any rar decompression program)
http://www.ziddu.com/download/13802744/androidinstall.rar.html
b. l1q1d's 2.6.25 kernel POLAIMG.NBH
c. install-seq.sh
d. You might need to flash the kernel with this file CustomRUU.exe
(See Attached file for download links below)
IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
The NAND installation doesn't work in automated mode. You have to enter the
Android BOOT Menu mode and install from there. Resetting the phone also will not work. You have to enter the Boot Menu and press Exit. OR you can rename the file install-seq.sh to anything so reboot works automatically.
Try these STEPS for installing Android on your Polaris NAND:
IF YOU ARE NEW TO MODDING ANDROID ON YOUR POLARIS I SUGGEST TRYING l1q1d's TUTORIALS FIRST. I suggest you have newer bootloader and radio. Im not responsible for what you do with your phone anyway.
1. Create a folder named Andboot on your SD card and copy the 2 files androidinstall.tar and install-seq.sh inside the folder.
2. Insert your SDCard on your Polaris.
3. Go to Bootloader Mode by pressing RESET once while pressing down the Camera button.
4. Once the 3-color Bootscreen comes out, connect your Polaris to your Computer thru the USB cable and check that the screen says "USB" and not "SERIAL" anymore.
5. Put CustomRUU.exe and POLAIMG.NBH together inside any folder and RUN CustomRUU.exe. Follow the instructions on screen. When the format is over your phone will reset and Android installation begins.
6. HOLD PRESS the Volume UP button until the installation texts roll on the screen and you come into the Android Boot Menu. IF YOU DONT, then RESET the phone and do it again.
7. Choose the menu "Install System" and let Android install for a while.
8. Installation finished. Choose Exit and let Android roll. Congratulations.
WHAT'S WORKING?
I tried the following...
Camera, WIFI, GPS, Bluetooth, Removable Disk Mode in USB works when connecting USB while logging in to Windows, ... Battery is more accurate.
WHAT's NOT WORKING?
VideoCamera... dont ever try it freezes; Install to SD...nope!
WHAT's NEW?
New Market, New Battery Image, No frequent forecloses, lesser resets
WHAT's IN?
Comes installed with GOLauncherEX (I preferred LauncherPro), SwiFTP, APNdroid, and more.
I recommend the following apps (tried and tested):
*Contapps for Contacts (syncs with FB, Twitter to name a few)
*ChompSMS for Messaging
*LauncherPro for Launcher
*Friendcaster for Facebook
*QuickPic for Gallery
*FileExpert for File Navigation
*GPS Essentials
*KS Uninstaller
*Easy Installer
*ClockQ
*Tubemate
I trying it now. I have had problem with installing apps in app store but after phone restart is all ok. I love the speed of this system
Thanks for trying. Thanks by the way to l1q1d for his kernel and Atools and tech. I chose to use his 2.6.25 kernel since that has working camera. You might wanna try with the latest 2.6.32 kernel maybe more results would be favorable. If you can find a better setup pls share also, for now I'd be sticking with this combo. The battery status by the way is accurate and reliable. I got 5% juice and the phone is still working though reminding me to connect to charger. Previously on the Froyo combination the phone is dead at 25%.
Question
Hey guys. First of all thank you for posting this thread, and second, can you please tell me if i can use this build with haret, not nand. I tried to install it but i didnt succed. Can you please help me?
I can't install it too? Everytime i see can't extract the files, after it reboot and hold the vol up bottom?
Hmm sorry my mistake, i forgot to unpack "androidinstall.tar"
I'm gonna comment after use
Seems to work proberly? You say install on nand, but why does it still use the sdcard when reboot?
I have a problem.
After I installed it,I turn off my phone and turn on it again.
I failed to boot the android,it says "Failed to format".
Plz help me!
oh sorry. i know what's wrong now.
Hello again guys. I have managed to install it in haret. I must say its fast but still not so "super" . It doesnt load the market (gives me a server side error), launcher freezes. I will test it some more and get back asap.
LE: Seems to be working. I dont know how, but it is. I am downloading apps as i type. And btw, the battery indicator is much accurate then before. Thank you again.

When you boot it,you should hold pressing the volume up button. You'll find that you are in Boot Menu. Press "Quit". Then it'll be fine.
I'm having a load of trouble doing this, probably cause im a noob :[
i followed the instructions but ended up with a white flashing screen and couldn't do anything. I've just installed the original software windows mobile 6.1 and I'll try again. Hope i can get it to work this time!
does androidinstall.tar need to be unpacked, or do i just unpack that file from the rar?
i did the same thing ... i didnt unpacked the archive and it didnt worked. so you should unpack and try again.
same thing has happend again with just the .tar file on there, my phone completes the installation and when it goes to boot up it vibrates twice and flashes on the white screen, any help would be appreciated
The issue lies on the kernel (POLAIMG.NBH). Your Polaris could have a different panel coz there are actually other types. Please read l1q1d's original tutorial on how to use Atools to obtain a kernel suited for that phone. Just try one of the panel type from that tutorial and if it dont work try the other. You can always use the androidinstall.tar file from this post with that kernel.
thanks for your nice work...
camera doesnt work as you said.
wifi doesnt work sometimes, but fine.

[Q] Root or restore after Flash?

I did the wrong thing and assumed my phone was still rooted after using t-mobile's upgrade from froyo to gingerbread.
I flashed my phone and now I am stuck on the manual mode screen. I assume (oh boy) I cannot place a custom rom since my phone wasn't rooted and therefore doesn't have permission to write to the phone. (I can't flash bootloaders)
At this point my data on phone is trashed I am sure, but I do have the contents of my sd card intact. I didn't backup before I started - hijole! I know.
I am not sure if I can use Super one click to root and continue to install a custom rom, or I should go back to base line and restore to original. Problem is I don't know how to goto the original at this point, and I don't know if super one click will work with my phone at its current state.... Argh! Will post pic of screen when I go to lunch today... Thought i had it with me on my iPhone. I assume to much!
Can you be more specific on the manual mode screen and what it looks like? Just to clarify, when you flashed from Froyo to GB (using Kies Mini, I assume) you did lose root. However, that does not prevent you from flashing a custom ROM. You can use ODIN or Heimdall to flash a ROM, then use one of those again to flash a kernel with root, with CWM, with voodoo lagfix, all of the above, or use SuperOneClick (the latest) to root it.
I'm guessing you might be able to get into download mode which means you could ODIN RaverX3X's 2.3.6 Stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353176) which is the Kies Mini official update just repackaged for ODIN. That will get you onto stock 2.3.6. From there you have options
I am supplying a pic of the "Manual Mode" I was referring to, and yes I did originally use Kies to upgrade from Froyo to GB. Again thanks for the info:

Sweet, so you have it working?
I think he says is stuck on that screen.
Do a battery pull on your device to turn it off, then put it back in. To put it into download mode for odin, hold volume up+down while plugging your phone into your pc. Then use odin to flash.

The problem he initially had is the rainbow screen and, although he can get into download mode, he's been unable to get his computer to see the phone. Thus he couldn't use ODIN to re-flash a good ROM.
djlalorocks, can you verify the state of the phone now? The screenshot you gave, by the way, is the CWM recovery screen. If we can get a good CWM-based ROM onto your SD card then you could flash from there.
Do you have an SD card reader for your computer you can use? I know the phone's not working in mass storage so that option is out.
Edit: My apologies; I went back and re-read what you wrote. When I saw that you found the upload feature I thought you meant you got a ROM to upload to the phone. I didn't realize you meant the picture of the screen. I'm slow sometimes
Haven't had a chance to work on it... I am on a mac, and yes I can place files onto a sd. My windows computer is having usb driver issues.

Heimdall (open source alternative to ODIN) works on the MAC, I believe. Regardless, if you can download Raver's Kj6-Rom-CWM-Offical-GB-2.3.6, put it on the SD card, go into the recovery screen (the one where you made the screen shot), use the volume down key to scroll to "install zip from sdcard", press the power button to select it, then select "choose zip from sdcard", scroll to where you put the file mentioned above, select it with the power button, then scroll to "Yes - Install sgs4g-OfficialGB2.3.6.zip" and select it.

[ROM][3.21.2012]NVFlash ICS 9.2.1.17 US/WW/TW Restore[FULLY STOCK!!NOT ROOTED!!]

Hi
Here are the nvflash versions for the .17 update. For those that wanna go back to stock for warrenty or have a dualboot this can come in handy.
I've tested the WW version on my on transformer and it worked (got a B70 with SBK1) created the US and TW version the sameway with the same config files so it should work! LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKS FOR YOU
But remember i'm not responsible for any bricks flashing my causes and you do this on your own riks.
Quick guide:
1. Connect cable to computer and turn device on while holding down Volume Up. Screen will stay off, but USB will come on.
2. Find “APX” device in Device manager and update driver, then point it at usbpcdriver directory from the zip.
3. Run download.bat.
I'm hosting them on my own server:
http://www.xdafileserver.nl/
*Added US version, and TW version
Thanks
.
Worked great on a B60 and a B70.
Thank you.

@Korumera
I want to create JP version.
Can you tell me how to create ?
Thanks would this remove any version of clockwork recovery such as the disasterours 5.x that makes you do a cold boot on each restart?

Yes
NVFLASH'ing removes every partition and restores the orignal one.
Windows won't allow me to install the driver. It says the third-party INF does not contain digital signature information, and it doesn't give me an ignore and proceed anyway option. Any ideas? I'm doing this from device manager.
Edit: if anyone else has this happen, rebooting to boot options (the screen that lets you boot into safe mode and such) there is a setting to disable signed drivers. That worked for me.
This is so useful. Thanks.
Really good job! Thanks man!
nicely done! I was thinking about creating one for this version but I got tied up with work.
No problem
Hope it comes in handy!
and chadster214 work comes first at least they say so haha

Hmmm try to flash it again, i've checked the zip file and it contains all the files including the recovery (blob.sos)
Thanks a lot. Fixed a issue for me. No matter what I flashed I couldn't get the wifi to work again. Just stayed in a state of trying to turn on.
Tried and tested the WW version; no problem at all.

My recovery it's the same, how is the recovery stock? you have screens?
I read that is normal in stock (android with admiration sign)
Thanks in advance, sorry for my english
This process works fine. A few things to keep in mind:
1) Unzip the .7z file in a folder in a folder at the root of your hard drive: I typically open my Windows boot drive, create a new folder, name it "nvflash" and dump the archive's contents into it. This avoids getting errors as a result of the Windows folder/file path being too long.
2) Timing is important when connecting the tablet to the computer: on Windows 7, I simply press the power on+volume up buttons for 2-3 seconds (up until the "new hardware found" bubble appears in the tray area), I then let go and make sure the screen remains off (*VERY IMPORTANT*).
3) To install the Windows driver for my TF101, I go to Device Manager, right-click on the APX icon (it should show a yellow exclamation point), update the driver by pointing Windows to the /usbpcdriver folder (e.g. c:\nvflash\usbpcdriver, for example), let Windows finish the install and ONLY then start the flashing process by running download.bat in Administrator mode.
