Step 1: Just start flashing crap.
No, you don't need to bother reading first, especially not those huge freaking letters that say "WARNING!"
And here I thought this might be a new thread to inform us of the answer.
Thank you for wasting my time
Thank you for not taking your time to READ.
Since you didn't read before, thank you for ignoring this post so I can have more wasted time!
No, either READ, or go away

x2, God I was excited for a minute. Dude can't read and posts misleading topics. <sigh>
and than people get mad when we tell them to read the wiki or search before modifying your expensive toy ...
Its been only communicated a 100 times that it is currently not possible to downgrade from this radio ... it locks you in. So have fun until some one can find a solution ...
Now I am not sure but I thought I saw in the sig of Alltheway that he has been able to change the radio.
here is a link to a post of his
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1869749&postcount=3
It says no more radio from hell.
Man the only thing I hate about forums is how some ppl love to jump all over another. Talk about wasting space. Here is an idea if it was a waste of time why did you waste more posting. if you have nothing to contribute to the thread then don't and when anyone comes to view they will see the one post and the date and figure either no answer or the guy did not read. Or notify a mod to close and send a warning to the guy if it is that bad.
When I saw Alltheway's sig I was curious how he did it but never saw a post on it. I never asked as I did not need the downgrade.
If we all tried to be a little more patient we could all benefit from each other.

He did a warranty exchange on his phone. That's how he got rid of it.
See there you go. Thanks for the info. Do not get me wrong I believe in reading first. My opinion is that not making a 200 page thread on what a $#$#$#$ a guy is for not reading is a waste. Cause there are a few who post and a small % of those pages can have good info but who wants to read 190 that are bashing.
Anyways now I know how Alltheway did it. Just glad I did not.

Wondered how you got rid of the radio.
My USB port is trashed (thanks Seidio desk charger) so it is stuck with OliPof. I was thinking of bricking it just to be sure they would exchange it since they might consider the USB port as user damage. I've got some high field magnets hanging around with nothing to do.

brother if you decide to this, (send it with the broken usb port without bricking it) or if you decide to sent it bricked, plz update it on this thread or pm me, as i am on the same boat as you but im not sure wether to send it or not. im also afraid to receive a refurbished tilt.
this is why i havent done it yet.
that's why you should do your research 1st (and sorry if somebody else did that to your phone, or you acquired the phone in that state).
good thing we've got experts here and there's hope, try this (minimal risk, nothing to lose as you're already stuck with that version of radio - what's the worse thing that can happen) :
connect to mtty to your kaiser (sorry you have to do the reading on how to do that), when you see the prompt, type "task 2a" (w/o quotes) then press "enter", wait until you see "OK"
Don't forget to donate if you find this helpful ^_^
I wanted to ask a simple question do we know if the NBH updates are signed or not?
I am working on a hybrid to get root back on RC30s phones.
Please if anybody knows the answer to this.
(I have something done already but dont have any stock rc30s to test with.
The file changes are good and the nbh works as modified however it works on an engeniring bootloader because it doesn't check signatures. humbug
http://rapidshare.com/files/176990405/DreamIMGTest.html
From what it sounds like they are signed, by htc themselves. But I have a stock rc30 and I'll try it.
Freaking rapidshare is slow uploading now.

so question to you....if we know where the signature is, would there be a way to apply the signature to an NBH that we create? if creating one is possible.
Sure, you can change the signature, but how are you going to generate it? Do you have the keys from HTC? If not, might as well give up now

Don't think you quite understand how signatures are created. You can't just toss a signature off one Android version on to another.
Damn I see the signature!!
A mute point then here is the file anyways.

i do understand that, just some tiny bit of hope...i know that signatures are based on filesize and name and content and all that.....
What about swapping sd cards when the signature is read?
Just an idea.
It seems the bloody bootloader dumps the files straight into RAM before it flashes them making the sd swap impossible or at least difficult. It seems the next step is jtag, but this will not be within the realm of the average user or even advanced user.
Freaking T-mobile and HTC, I really hate their signing crap. They should have at least made the bootloader not read freaking signature hashes.
Im still looking at the file itself to see if their can be any exploits. The bootloader is closed source so there is no way to know easily when the check is actually done, or the update process itself handled

Let's try to keep the heated opinions to a minimum. Google has already clearly stated that locked root is working as intended for the G1 as per HTC and T-Mo's specifications. This forum is for discussing active development issues, not debating the merits of Android implementation on Dream.
My friend trust me I AM actively working towards development on this device. I don't however need a father lecture on it (especially on a silly comment). I understand T-mobiles and Googles position and respect it. I understand how you feel and it would be well warranted if you were talking with a newbie that does nothing towards xda-developers goals, i however Im not.
If I decide to vent lightly then that is my prerogative, i am not debating anything here simply a frustrated rant since ive been working all day of and on, on this.

Anyways..
Has anybody started to trace for jtags yet?

Thank you for taking things lightly and having fun!
I believe jashsu posted a diagram or pic showing the disassembled view of the device and possible points of attack. I don't think either of you meant any harm in your posts but text doesn't quite relay emotion properly. Great work by you both and please keep posting in these forums as I look forward to both of your contributions and appreciate what you've already done.

are you good at ARM assembly (or any other cpu assembly is fine, once you know one, you know all ) and do you have a good understanding of how overflow etc exploits works - if yes, PM me it would be nice to work together.
Ok i wanna root my g1 BAD. I want to be able to move the cache and install the development version of cupcake. but 1 BIIIIIG problem. I DO NOT have a data plan. I have read and it seems that when you root it factory resets your g1 which that means your sim card must have the data plan on it.
Is their any possible way for me to root in my circumstance?
Thanks
If you install the adp1.1 version, you can skip the login, enable wifi, then login through that.
ok umm im a mega newb to rooting and stuff lol. so can you or someone provide a COMPLETE step by step tutorial on what to do from block one? and to make sure I dont root it wrong and so i'll be able to login with wifi?
thanks lol

Sam, this forum is full of tutorials -- all you have to do is find the right one and read through it, THEN ask questions. There's a pretty steep learning curve involved, and few people have the time to hold your hand all the way, especially if you don't invest the minimal effort.
best,
the step by step is written in the sticky on how to root your g1. why would someone re write it for you? silly. go do some learning, then think about rooting your g1.
Sticky: Rooting, Hacking, and Flashing your G1/Dream
says it right in the title.
While it is possible to do what you want as far as I can see it's a considerable amount of hassle, and for it's functionality the g1 without a dataplan is like a computer minus the psu, even with wifi... so you may want to reconsider.... but as I said it can be done! Firstly what firmware do you have, are you uk or us based? The us phone let's you install a modified version of rc29 whichs you can easily bypass the registration screen (jesusfreke) has left a very helpful no dataplan sticky). The uk version has additional steps to simply roll back and install mod rc29, as it can only roll back to an earlier uk model, be rooted and then get a us image.
Give us a little more information, and don't worry I was there only a month ago, now I've installed fastboot, jf1.4, run my apps off sdcard and have replaced that stupid g1 tmobile screen. There really is a learning curve but you'll get there
well i am on US rc30 atm.
well no dataplan is fine for me really. but the memory is KILLING me. id LOVE LOVE to have root.
There have been multiple step by steps written Sam...
Like another poster stated, if your not willing to even read the introductory material on rooting your phone, it's unlikely someone will want to even help you initially.
That said, there are both numerous tutorials on how to root your phone, and how to activate the phone without a data plan so just search the forum/read the stickies for them and start on the first step yourself rather then waiting around.
Meeker
That said, the Dataplan is not necessarily a killer, but definately a cool benefit if your willing to pay the associated costs =) But personally for me, I'm a cheap bastard...

You know, I lurked around and didn't want to post for a long time because I know I'm totally inept at this and I know I'm an outside/intruder here. I only posted my own question to a problem when I was unable to find a solution via search/google and puzzle the rest out myself. I wish others would do that as well to preserve the usefulness of the boards (because they are incredibly helpful!). And ultimately I hope the next person to run into my same error can find my thread via search & fix it themselves.
Sorry for being off topic, but the thread will probably be locked down anyway.

I know, I totally got baited on this one... but I think the inherent frustration for the bulk of us who got baited on this one was the fact that if you looked at the top 5 stickies on the forum.... the answers where right there... it's only the fact that the original poster never wanted to read them....
No more replies? Lets let this one die the way it deserves to?
samrozzi: You should really start using the search, but pretty much all of the information you need is in stickys. But here you go
Start with rooting your device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
--------
When ever you need to have to log in to the google accounts use this:
"to enable and configure wifi, so that the registration process can connect to the google servers. In an adb shell session, type the following command:
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings
This doesn't have to have root access to work. It works fine with the "shell" user that adb on non-modded phones runs as.
That command will bring up the settings page on your phone. From there, you can enable wifi and connect to your wifi network, and then proceed with registration as per normal "

In the end use JF RC30, or ADP V1.41

As the link from the original/first post are V1.31 and i tried them earlier and the links do not work.

Well since metropcs and this phone is the same, most likely the root metro has will root it.

Rooting Huh?
Well after spending a second day trying to solve my problem I had superuser on my phone well someone elses phone, but something went wrong so I am throwing in the towel before I have to by someone a phone because this is how I got myself into this I tried to help someone get more business turns out the guy is a loser so I am stuck with having to give someone some free technical features, but rooting wont be one of them, I am going to figure some other ways to spice the phone of for them I just really don't have the time nor the patience with all the reading and materials and the drivers that won't run on my system some of this is a headache for people who are not that good with this sort of machinery.
And I have found that there are so many who say there good but when it comes down to it, I have had two bad experiences this is why I was trying to show some people some new ways to have there phones done, but I realize a few things I am not helping people out no more fu*k'em I got my phone done and complete and I am tired of helping others out and just about everyone who I went to meet up with in Philadelphia and this other guy who answers and gets back to you when he's ready this phone thing is a little much, like you guys say if you don't have the experience then leave it alone.
Because I have to return this phone to someone tomorrow but I thought I was bringing in some business for people but I know now some people just want to stay living at home with mother. So good luck watching Jerry all your life. Anyone
who has someone who can refer me to a real flasher or tech person no more people in the state of Pennsylvania all of them have been crooks. Sorry S. Bonner but you are hitting the #2 on the list. But anyway I need to get in touch with someone who will get paid as long as the job is done 100% and I am talking remote flashing nothing more and rooting. Remember if you live in the State of Pennsylvania don't bother me I want people who want to work.
Let me first start by saying. I'm sure alot of people will find this annoying but after searching countless forums on various sites all across the web I can't find a definitive answer. Has the Verizon Wireless SCH-I535 4.4.2 I535OYUDNE1 3.4.0 Kernal Bootloader been unlocked? Most posts I see are several months old and some people say no one cares and there will never be an unlock, others claim it's in the works, some claim it has been done but I can't find a link or posting stating without a doubt it has been done and how to do it. So my question to recap is ( Has the locked bootloader successfully been unlocked? If so where can I find the instructions on how to do so?) I did successfully manage to root and grant SuperSU but then wound up getting the ! Yellow triangle of death and had to re-flash stock. I have a great deal of stupidity when it comes to newer tech but have thus far enjoyed tinkering and feeling around in the dark to learn. After all "Discovery requires experimentation." Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out. Or just give me a straight and certain answer.

Straight and simple answer - no, it has not been unlocked and likely never will be unlocked.
Balls! That sucks. Damn Verizon. Should've guessed as much. What did I expect? So many people praise them but I get ******* service everywhere I go. And I live in a major US city. Thanks for your reply though. I'll stop holding my breath. I do have one last question. I've seen posts of people flashing CM11-12 on the SCH-I535 does that include the Verizon 4.4.2 or not? I assume it doesn't but in the off chance it does would you provide a link to the relevant manual? Thanks again.

If they are on CM there bootloaders are unlocked. And no that does not include those who took the OTA to 4.4.2
