Try to flash it with the US RC29 or the UK firmware. But I don't think this will work as the SPL will block it.
AFAIK there's no way to get root at the non US/UK/Dev G1 at this time.

try update using rc30 update.zip file. I think you will install SPL for US region and you can flash back to RC29
Does it work? Because i wanted to buy the German G1 but if I can't root it, I will buy the UK Version.
@n8gk
work root with the US SPL ??
have you try this ??
If you flash a US or UK firmware on a german G1,....
will the Keyboard work correct ? the Layout for Z and Y are different.
Where can I get the RC30 update.zip file
Ther german has also a build 123099.
I didn't try to update, because I don't wanna loose the ability to go back to the original.
Waiting that a original one is out first. (because of language and keyboard)
Not Allowed
I tried to downgrade with rc29 firmware, but it isnt possible...
Checking...
Loading...
Not Allowed...
And then stuck in the bootloader...
I also got my G1 last week and it also has the 123099 Build.(I live in Austria) If there is any way how i can help to root this build (upload it?), let me know.
If i flash an UK or US firmware on my phone (suppose some genius finds a way how to do it) wouldn't it render the "Disable Data-Roaming" function useless, when i travel to one of these countries? And even deactivate the data connection in my home country?
In Austria tmo offers a roaming block on their side so i do not have to use this function on the phone, but i am just curious...
Maybe one of the more experienced users in here could tell us about the chances of rooting such a device.
Are there any or did Google / T-Mobile finally fix the backdoor completely?
Greetings,

In device info the build description is:
kila_eu-user 1.1 TMI-RC4 123099
ota-rel-keys,release-keys
And build id:
TMI-RC4
The backdoor has been fixed for some time now... But as long as you were able to revert to an older image you can re-root your device, but we are not able to do this because we would need to use an image with another CID and that is not allowed with the original SPL. But the only way to change SPL is when you have your device rooted...
Correct me if im wrong plz..
So that means bad news for the European G1 owners?
seems so. and because the developers here already got a us-hacked version, they not seem to be interested in hacking this 1.1 firmware the one or other way.
are the european developers to stupid/busy to do it? or are they so clever to get a us one?
in the european firmware 1.1-version the manufacturer has alredy fixed the lame telnetd-root bug and the bootloader. and this is, on what the us-g1-hacks are based on.
i have the hope that some day a local root exploit will apear, which exploits the kernel or another vital component of the g1 to get root without telnetd.
maybe such a kernel exploit will be discovered in the standard linux kernel which can be portet to android; or some great reversing/hacking-debugging-genious-mastermind finds an android exploit all by himself.
android is so new, there MUST be bugs to exploit locally.
Iam a highlevlel-programmer, iam not able to find such local root vulnerabillities.
way to open EU G1
one guy from Czech republic did it

Hey,
I just rooted my RC8 UK G1 using the guide here and then I came here and saw that JF1.43 is out, where the guide I was using used JF1.41.
Should I upgrade? What are the benefits and how do I upgrade?
Also, if a new OTA update comes out can I just update and keep root? If not, can I just update without doing anything special and loose root?
Thank you
JFv1.42 and 1.43 are US only so I believe you need to reflash to use, though I'm not sure. The number structure of US numbers is different (it has dashes in it like xxx-xxxx-xxxx) and they have some extra programs like MyFaves by the sound of it. For now if you want to stick with UK releases, you have the most recent. I contacted TMo about it and all they had to say was that they didn't know when our RC33 equivalent would be out.
About 5 minutes ago I received a notification regarding software upgrade for my Milestone, and true enough it's an upgrade to Froyo. It's available as a 20.7MB .exe file from the official website.
Is it possible to check kernel version without flashing it? I'm running a custom ROM and I don't want to brick it...
And isn't 20.7MB a bit small?
Update: Ok. I think the 20.7MB file is a program to update phones. If anybody (or your girlfriend/wife/grandfather/kid/neighbour/dog) updates it could we have some information here? I'm not optimistic that there'll be an updated or unlocked kernel but we can always hope =)
If you are on custom ROM, I'm not very sure how is it. But I will recommend download and flash the SBF from this website. I think it will be much safer.

Singapore Froyo already there, the below link is a service version sbf, flash it through rsdlite.

Thanks for the replies! Disapponting that there are still DSI errors. (not that I was hoping for much anyway)
I just took delivery on a SM_P905V, what a beautiful piece of equipment.
It was used in is loaded with Android 4.2.2. When I go to update software, it says its unavailable.
How do I get an OTA update?
Edit: Samsung site had the OT1 Lollypop 5.0.1. Now I wonder if they will update to Marshmellow?
Running great; and I couldn''t be much happier.
I suggest you use 'odin method' because its really fast but if you are not experienced with that method then I suggest you use samsung kies3 software on windows to update it. As for ota method, It varies region to region if new software isn't released in your region then use these alternative methods. Thank you , hope it helps
Hm, latest version for the P905V is P905VVRUBOH1/P905VVZWBOH1
Was it a new device or used?
You can use ODIN to flash the latest firmware manually. You can grab the newest firmware version to flash off Sammobile.
For various reasons I'm back using this S8+, and it's still pretty good, but it's still running Android 7.
I'm in the EU so OTA updates don't work.
Can I switch from an AT&T firmware to an unbranded one and thereby upgrade to Android 9 using OTA? If this is possible, can someone explain in simple terms how to do it?
