The new RC33 is out. Here's a link to someone hosting it:
http://www.kyubinc.org/files/signed-PLAT-RC33-from-RC30.f06aa9b3.zip
Ok, I tried to upgrade my phone using the above file and the KEYS didn't match. Is anybody with a rooted phone getting it to work?
When ADP 1.1 Beta came out, before JesusFreke modded it, I loaded it on my phone, no problem. After the upgrade, I STILL HAD ROOT.
I think the ADP roms use the same keys at JesusFreke roms so I guess that is why it worked.
BOTTOM LINE: Share your experiences and ideas and lets get RC33 working on our rooted phones. When JF 1.5 comes out, we'll switch to it
I think its been stated in other threads that RC33 uses the official Google keys while the ADP and JF firmwares use the testkeys. That's why they don't match.

Why are you reposting the links? If you're really in a hurry to mess up your phone. Download the RC33 zip, unzip it into a folder, find one of the signers that use the test keys (I believe the theming how-to has one) and rebuild the zip with the test keys. Then load it up on your SD card and flash away. Let us know how that goes.

Lol LpChris you might wanna let people know your being sarcastic, after reading some of the posts today, I think someone might actually try this. POINT IS IF YOU HAVE ROOT, BEST WAIT THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS FOR THE NEW COOKED ROM FROM JF, IF YOUR ON STOCK ROM GO AHEAD AND FLASH TO RC33, ITS CUT AND DRY.

Haha well I did preface it with "If you're really in a hurry to mess up your phone."
Although I'm slightly curious about doing this. The only thing I would do is throw out the recovery.img that's in there and replace it with JF's. Then I think everything else would load up fine. Might lose the multi-touch hack, but who knows. I don't see a new Browser.apk/odex in the /system folder, but I do see it in the /patch/system/ folder.
please don't be in a hurry it never to good to be in one.....(WAIT) JF said by 8-9M eastern

Oh geez, how quickly a post gets misconstrued. He said that he'd get home from work and take a look at it around then. NOT that he'd have a completed update for us by then.

That's just not how I usually do it. It's more fun playing around now. I like being an early adopter. It's risky but it is also pretty hard to brick one of these phones. Can't you always go back a re-root the phone?

If you wanted to downgrade to the OTA RC29, apply the OTA RC30, and then apply this OTA you can always downgrade with the OTA RC29 and re-root your phone to one of JF's ROMs once he's ready.
Is it really worth it though? I dont know about you guys but i can wait for a day or 2 till jf picks it apart, if it even takes that long. Doing the whole process just to see a few minor changes doesnt really seem like its worth the headache to me.

Just so everyone knows I reverted back to RC29, manually loaded RC30 ,manually updated to RC33 and reverted back to RC29. I have since reloaded RC33 while I await JF version. I know it had been mentioned that JF walked someone through it, but that was an early release and I wanted to test it with the one available for download...you never know something may have changed. Seems zippy and browser seems smoother that RC30, I'll have to play with it some more and see how it compares to ADP1.1. Only other thing I noticed is Market is no longer beta

Hey all, Ill only ask this once, (Since after this time, Ill know for future updates and be on the right path =) )since this G1 is so new dev wise, its getting confusing when im studying everything all at once and only updated rooted once to the custom RC30. I saw the newer update is RC33, now when I apply that, is it required EACH TIME to wipe the device? Im asking cause it would be a pain to reinstall each app I had installed there to begin with. I know I wiped the 1st time I rooted and updated. So just wanted to check.
Also whats the new additions in these updates? Any good changelogs out there? I kinda like keeping the Tmobile US stuff on mine, but root access is awesome. =)
Thanks for any update tips out there atm.
Edit, My G1 is still on Firmware 1.1 is that a seperate update or how is everyone updating that with the custom stuff? Thanks. (And do I need that FW update before going RC33?)
Nope, you won't lose anything when you upgrade the firmware normally. Going from JF RC30 to JF RC33 should be fine
Check the stickied topic on the top of the forum to find out more:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475381
The changelog is somewhere in there.
Thank you. =) I didnt read that one since it was talking about for UK users. Heh. Least it explained things a lil more. =DDD
What about the firmware? Seems Ill have to do the new radio too, but wondering.. is that radio one for US too or only uk? Since its in a UK thread. =/
Nah, it's not a UK topic. He just modifies the title when he adds something new. The radio should be for the US version. Just download the radio and JF RC33 and throw them on your microSD (one at a time obviously, named update.zip).
Firmware 1.1 is just like the base firmware number, you can ignore that. Firmware 1.5 (I think) is cupcake, so you get the idea.
Ok so the firmware is nothing major atm to update or would you still upset it? I havent looked into cupcake yet.
No, completely ignore the firmware number, the only numbers you want to look at are RC30, 33, etc...
Ok this is odd. I updated fine to RC33, however when I try to get back in recovery mode to apply the radio rom, it wont go into the recovery mode. It just keeps rebooting to the G1 screen when im holding the home button. Anyone seen that before or how to get back into the recovery mode?
Anyone have any ideas?
If for some reason you cannot get ADB access to your device, can't run windows, or there is physical damage to your USB ports, this is a guide showing how to un-root from only using the SD card.
Method ONE
***Overwrites ALL data on phone***
This method grabs
Code:
android-info.txt
boot.img
hboot.1.41.0000.img
nv.img
radio.img
recovery.img
splash1_HTC_320x480.nb0
system.img
userdata.img
From Flipzmode's 1.56 RUU
This works in almost all situations, unless you ran the 2.1 test RUU, which updates your HBoot to 1.47. Stock HBoot is 1.41.

place in /root of SD card
Reboot phone into HBoot mode, by holding Volume Down
Press action (the trackball) when prompted
Reboot phone
and you're done!
Many many thanks to johnsongrantr for his method.
Method TWO
only if Method ONE fails. much longer/more complicated process
Files needed:
Flashrec 1.13.apk (133 KB)

Original radio update 1.04 (THANKS FLIPZ!!!) Link
***NOTE*** Radio updating is one of the only risky behaviors that you can engage in with your phone Possible Bricking alert. ONLY flash this if you have previously updated your radio with an update.zip. Just flashing ROMs doesn't change your radio.
Extract NoRootNandroid.zip, revealing a folder called NoRootNand
Move NoRootNand to
Code:
/sdcard/nandroid/HTxxxxxxxxxx/NoRootNand
Move recovery-backup.img, Radio update.zip, and flashrec-1.1.3-20091107.apk to the root folder of your SD card
Boot into Recovery mode (hold Home + End when booting). Restore Nandroid backup called NoRootNand
Update the radio by flashing the Radio update .zip file
Install FlashRec
Run FlashRec (its name has changed to 'Recovery Flasher' when you installed it)
Click on 'Restore Backup Image'
If there are errors in FlashRec, reboot your phone, try again
and you're done!
**I take no responsibility for bricking of any sort, but it worked for me**

just wanted to report an [email protected] response (ive played with a friends eris, and agreed, the phone depicted in the OP is most certainly not the eris)
and ask if you knew of any ways to unroot to stock 100% safely? even the 100% garuntee RUU thread seems iffy. this seems like, in theory, would work (untouched nandroid combined with stock recovery) and i dont see how it could mess up
but then again, my senior membership is only due to having to fight back the flamers, and am truely still a noob, so what do i know?
thanks in advance!
Yes this is for CDMA hero, because it's in the CDMA Hero200 wiki and the CDMA hero part of the forum. The screenshot is to illustrate the stock recovery image.
Thanks, though, I'll edit to provide clarification

I can tell you that I have used the RUU several times. I am very anal about my phone so every time the paint chips off of the power button I take it in and get it replaced. This has happened several times along with my speaker blowing and the charging port not working. Every time I take it in i RUU just to make sure the warranty dont get cancelled. I have never had a problem using the RUU to unroot.

Then you're one of the lucky majority. I've used the RUU on my phone 6 times and every time it's gotten the 110 error. This is on 2 different phones and several OS's and computers. I've used dfbonney's method to restore it to stock 5 times (yes I replaced one phone) and it worked fine.
The phone pictured is the Android Developer Phone 2 (Google Ion) btw: http://phandroid.com/2009/06/05/google-ion-coming-soon-as-adp2/

Whoops. You took that the wrong way. And it's not my guide it's dfbonney's, I just tested a few things with him. I simply meant that there's no potential harm (that I found after multiple test and TRYING to break the phone) that can come from that method. I was also pointing out that most people DON'T seem to have problems with the RUU to stock method..but for those that do there's a way out that's harmless.

Ok, shutting up now. Sorry for the off-topic posts.
I've been able to RUU successfully once, then my USB port broke (only charge, no USB data) (weird...) so then I scoured the forums and found a bunch of different places with a bunch of different steps so i cleaned it up, bundled the files all together and made things pretty, and listed it in the wiki for all to use
This method worked great for me. Thanks to dfbonney and rt100 for gathering the info in the first post.
This is a riskless way of going back to stock right? I'm not going to brick my phone? lol
Hey everyone..
U need to thank Orange_24 for this..
It took me a WHILE (3 hours of seaching intense) to find out how to root the 1.76.0009 so i thought i would make a new thread to help people .. but i found it deep in a forum in here
RUU:
4shared.com/file/MjOxJBX0/RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_305401.html
Recovery RA-Hero

Engineer's SPL 1.76.0007
4shared.com/file/211145376/3da88b40/update-hboot-1762007-signed.html
THIS METHOD WILL DELETE ALL DATA ON YOUR PHONE! Proceed at your own risk!
1. Download RUU linked above.
2. Install update using RUU.
3. Turn on phone and connect to computer.
4. Get RA recovery and SPL also linked above and drop them to sdcard root directory.
5. Run SDK: adb shell
6. Install recovery: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
6. Turn off phone and turn on again holding Power+Home. RA Recovery should appear.
7. Flash zip from sdcard.
8. Use file: update-hboot-1762007-signed
9. Done. PSPL broken.
10. Build a shrine for orange_24
I did this to mine and it worked ..
Bowing before the community
EDIT:
since many people have problems with windows 7 an windows 7 x64 i will thank the LayZeeDK for writing this so i dont have to ..
First install HTC Sync. Then try these drivers: http://www.multiupload.com/RJRAYM75A2
Start > Devices and Printers > Right click 'Android Phone' > Properties > Click 'Hardware' tab > Press the one with 'Disk drives' type > Properties > Update Driver... > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer > Have Disk... > Pres 'Browse...' > Browse to the drivers in the folder 'Vista_x64' to which I linked above e.g. 'C:\Users\Lars\Desktop\Vista_x64' > OK > Choose 'My HTC' or whatever it shows
Seems that the drivers in Vista_x64 worked for USB/Sync/RUU connection and the drivers in USB_MODEM_VISTA works for ADB connection. ADB is changed through Device Manager (Right Click 'Computer' > Manage > Device Manager).
TO ROGERS
mbk.2k3 wrote this so all credit goes to him! ..
to help the rogers folks: i had updated using the official Rogers update and thought i was stuck with the perfected SPL
I used the following method to get back my root (http://rootyourmagic32a.blogspot.com...htc-magic.html).
follow every step carefully.
then i downgraded radio and got an engineering SPL on using the following method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239)
i used adb shell heavily. it was daunting at first but once i got into it, it was smooth sailing and you build your confidence quickly (good for noobs like us)
will this get signature off so that i may use fastboot commands?
..
if u cant use fastboot commands it means you have a perfected SPL
this will root and and change SPL to an Engineers SPL
with an Engineer's SPL there will be no limitations
ah because i found people wich said that had a rooted phone with a sPL like the Eng but had Sig off. I already found some issues of some people here in XDA wich had that problem. It would be nice to encounter a solution for that.
..
i don't exactly know what u mean but this certainly works.. an i have used fastboot several times with it
How about for HBOOT-1.76.0007?

You are doing something wrong.
This works, I did it on a friend's 32A that had the 1.76.0009 perfected SPL a few days ago. This info was taken from the first post of the huge thread of people trying out methods for rooting the 1.76.0009 SPL. Good idea making a new thread, that last one was a clusterfuck and the first post had missing links lol.
BTW, you didn't need a goldcard for this? I went through the trouble of making a goldcard because the old thread's instructions included making a goldcard. That coulda saved me a bit of time, lol. And I used Cursordroid's custom 32A recovery image, so this method works with that recovery as well.
Also, typo: "Engeeneers SPL 1.76.0007" should be "Engineer's SPL 1.76.2007"

This is not the way to breaking the SPL for all Countries - just in case.
I guys Im from Australia and I accidentally update my magic to the 3.05.861.2 rom which had the perfected 1.76.0008 SPL im am happy to say that this method actually root the spl which in favour lets you go back to either 1.33.2010 or 1.76.2007 whichever you prefer
glad that you found my thread then ^^..
yea.. but i dont know why u should go back to the 1.33?
1.76 are for the new rom's
^^ your right its better to stay on 1.76.2007 but i decided to try out CyanogenMod CM5.0.7 and i'm loving it

yea you are right. CyanogenMod are some very good roms. but when he removed market from his newer roms i went over and found some other roms
Rogers
The Rogers update uses this perfected SPL correct? If so glad that a workaround has been found finally.
Question though: can I go back and forth freely? ie. if i follow the steps, root my phone, try a new ROM, and later want to go back to the Rogers update.
Thanks in advance!

Ok so i did the hboot 2.2 root and got to after the unevoked forever and this is what i got from there i really hope this helps because i got partal root from this method
Ok so if u have got the radio failed pu you dont have a rom anymore so you need to do this
open my computer go to c drive go to user go to your username then up at the top go to the address bar and type in appdata so for mine it would say
c:\users\chris\appdata for something like that then when your in the app data folder you will see local click on that then you will see temp click on that now to make this easyer you sould erase everything in your temp folder that you can now
download the ruu 3.30 exe and when you get it downloaded go and load it up and when the program is ready for you to go through the steps of updating just dont touch it
Go back to your temp folder and you should see a couple more folders appreare in one of thoughs folders you will see another folder and like corecomp or something like that then you will also see dotnet well go to the other folder in that folder then go to the bottom and you will see (rom) move it to your desktop and rename it PC36img or what ever its suppose to be then erase the rom on your sd card and put this one on it and then go back into your bootloader and flash that one and it should work it did for mine the only thing is it will put you back on 3.30 the s-off will still be there if you have done the unrevokted forever this will also allow you to run the unrevoked 3.21 and it will give you a partial root with super user and i still have not been able to flash custom rooms but i am running superuser and root explorer and wireless tether on my eve and it is working good
So just to recap
If you have not got to the part where you can load unrevoked forever and you do my method you will return to stock and also unrevoked 3.21 will not work unless you have s-off
Now if you have s- off but cant get roms on your phone do this method and you will be able to get the stock rom on your phone then you can run unrevoked 3.21 for windows that is the one i did but it gave me superuser and it was flawless just do what it says.
have fun hope this helps get your phone back it did mine and 2 other so im sure it will work

WOW! I'm not even sure why I read this post in the first place but, having done so anyway... My head now hurts.
Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I had to read this a few times but I followed it and it worked. Got my brick back up to stock. Not even the Sprint store was able to get a stock rom on it.
Thanks for the info.
You are a genius thank you, I just bricked my girls phone and your method worked perfectly I can now sleep in the bed tonight.LMAO

Lifesaver!!!
I didn't find the directions hard to follow just some have to get through some grammatical errors and your go to go. Spent awhile doing all the other methods this worked first time, took 5 minutes. Wish I read this hours ago. Well done.
An easier way is to simply download the file that someone has already extracted
You can find them in the first link in my sig or in a few other threads that you can find with a quick search
Its because of threads like this that we spend hours searching for solutions to our problems.
People who don't know what they are doing, and think they do.
Try searching for linux help, you will then see my point.
good post, need more like it
helped so much thank you!
Just had to share the props
I boot looped a buds phone, and didn't backup the RA Amon that I just flashed, I only had nandroids in Clockwork Mod... therefore, no go in RA. This saved me some serious heart-ache! Flashed this, downloaded clockwork, and his phone was back to its previous state.
Now I just have to try it again when he'll let me... lol
Thanks for sharing!
He knows his stuff
THIS GUY IS A GENIUS..... I tried every method on here, nothing worked until now.

Looking past all the convoluted, non-coherent instructions - sounds like you need to flash from the bootloader the updated AmonRa made especially for this process - then you'll be able to flash a custom ROM:
PC36IMG_Recovery.zip
here are step-by-step instructions:
1. Download the PC36IMG-Recovery.zip file from above.
2. Rename to PC36IMG.zip and place in the root of your sdcard.
3. Power off your Evo
4. Hold down the Volume Down button and then hold the power button until you get to the white bootloader screen.
5. IF it says "SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF" THEN
Allow it to flash - will take awhile.
a. When prompted if you want to apply, choose Yes by pressing Up
b. When prompted to reboot choose Yes by pressing Up ELSEIF it says "SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-ON" THEN
YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO zikronix's HBOOT Guide AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY SO YOU CAN GET S-OFF - OTHERWISE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO FLASH A CUSTOM ROM OR RECOVERY
YOU CAN PUT THE STOCK 3.30 RUU PC36IMG.zip INSTEAD OF THE RECOVERY ZIP ABOVE AND FLASH TO STOCK BUT THAT WILL BE ALL YOU HAVE AND YOU WILL BE BACK TO SQUARE ONE - BUT AT LEAST YOU'D HAVE A WORKING EVO
6. You should be done and back to stock. Go ahead and try to follow zikronix's instructions again - slowly and carefully.
props
Worked first time. Thanks bro i love you
First reply to this thread had me laughing hysterically. But, I'm really glad to see it helped people. In fact, given how many it helped in such a short period, it probably should be stickied. But one should definitely heed xhausxs' post when reading.
Nice contribution, thank you.

Your bootloader is already unlocked.
To run RUU, you need it locked.
To install custom ROM you need it unlocked.
Decide what you want to do and do it.
READ. Your problem starts and ends with not reading enough.
I want RUU for stock rom.

Did you flash the boot.Img with adb?
All these roms you've tried, are the JB by chance, if so have you checked what panel you've got?

You do not understand, I'm done flashing boot.img, unlocked bootloader S-OFF in my h-boot, and I'm not careless, stupid, crazy, ignorant, and it is not nice to say it, you're ignorant, stupid, I'm sorry it's not nice. I wonder why is this happening to me that I can not install any custom ROM, and I have met all the requirements for a custom ROM.I need to ask, and I do not know, I do not do that

Not sure about the last one but the first roms look to run kernel 3, it's possible you have a none Sony panel i suppose, look for the thread for this and run the check to see what panel you have
"I've had a wonderful time, but this wasn't it."- Groucho Marx
You cant be both unlock and s-off, error 155.
Read this Unlocking bootloader
If you are alrd unlock-step 2 and have a custom recovery-step 3(either 4ext or cwm) then
Read step 4 to install any custom rom.
This is as easy as it takes and the steps are clear. If even after following this you are still unable to boot, i have no idea why.
@rain he's been pointed in the directions he needs,both unlocking, flahing boot image etc. twice I've asked if he know what panel, he's been pointed to threads and told what to search for spoon feeding really isn't going to help him. It's constant questions like this that is driving knowledgeable people away from xda and causing a lot of issues. I know what he's going through my first experiences were similar but i had to search in the end in order to have understanding. Him plowing ahead without fully reading and trying to understand will only result in him bricking his phone and then ranting that he received the wrong help

Well it is only less than a year I have been in this forum. So I can still tolerate op's attitude of ignorance.
@dejan u would be wise to search when senior members who u have insulted asked u to. This is a development forum for ppl wiling to do 'research' not my mom's help line on how to use the remote to switch between tv and dvd.
