Hey all,
Just got my G1 - been a long time WM user, so finding the experience a bit strange so far.
I ordered my G1 from the states, but would like everything to default in UK format - can I flash UK firmware over the top of my US G1?
Cheers
Yes, you need RC7 or RC8 for UK setting's
follow this guide and get root access in the process
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
I followed that guide to the letter.
I can install RC29 and get root, but the second I try and install RC7 (The UK one I want!) I get this error message:
00028002
Not Allow
Any one got around this?

make sure you follow all the steps as if it was for a USA update,
then on the last step when ur going to flash JF's modded firmware, there select the UK firmware...
note: you have to use hardSPL in order to do what you want

Thank was my problem - trying to go to UK one step early.

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,
Becksman
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

Sorry if this has been answered elswhere I can't find it.
Is it possible to change a standard uk tmobile g1 to an adp?
Or is it as simple as flashing an adp rom onto it? Ie does the hardware get locked down or is it just software?
download the update, wipe the phone, flash the update
Cool I will flash that later
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.
I just got a mytouch 2 days ago brand new from tmobile and I want to root it using the one click root method. Problem is when i download the sappimg.nbh file and try to downgrade from 1.6 (donut) to 1.5(cupcake) i get an error message "main version older update failed!". i did a little research and found out that the newer mytouch 3g's that have 1.6 (donut) out the box have been patched so you cant downgrade. I also read that the only way to root the mytouch now is to use a method called the gold card method. Can anyone explain this method because it seems really complicated. Or does anyone know of an easier way to downgrade to 1.5 or to root mytouch 3g.

Dunno if you tried this yet. http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-root-a-donut-phone-android-1-6/
If the above guide doesn't work, here's the Goldcard method
