Hi, I'm a UK g1 user
I had rooted my g1 and installed JFv1.41 then I tried app off sdcard with calss4 8g
but somehow i screwed up ,
app wasnt in system/sd/app but if i take out the sdcard and tried to reboot
it wont boot (stop at G1 logo) thus i've just given up and reflashed everything
by putting rc7 to my sdcard and camera+home buttons ,
fortunately it booted without
the sd card and came back to rc7
i thought it would be unrooted but its stil rooted
how can i make it back to pure virgin g1 then i want to make it clean root JFv1.41
if you just reflash to RC8, it shouldn't matter if you are rooted in RC7 or not... the outcome will be the same.
that's not the source of your problem. just go to RC8 and it will be "clean" and be careful if you mess with sdcard apps.
I rooted my G1 and went from rc-29 to Jf 1.43 Holiday[http://jf.andblogs.net/2009/02/11/jfv143/] and everything works but i want to move on to hero or 2.0 or maybe motoblur or something. any rom i try to load the same way i got to "holiday" sends my phone into a never ending loop or sits @ the g1 screen so i just go back to the jf rom and wipe and reload it....can anyone help me? im not able to find any info on how to downgrade from a jf or move to a different rom.

There is a great guide over at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com, but for the upgrade from jf is easy just follow the instruction's over here at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/How_to_upgrade_from_JesusFreke_1.5. Hope this helps.
sweet that worked!! running cyangn 4.1.9999 or sumthing now and its great!! the cyanogen wiki was perfect!
I said I would flash cyanogenmod on a friends G1 because he was fed up with 1.6. I've flashed many custom ROM's on several different devices before but I've made a mess of things with this G1 and I can hardly hand back an unusable phone so I would really appreciate your help.
I rooted the phone using Androot, backed up the apps and settings using titanium backup and then the texts using a text backup app. I then downloaded Rom manager and flashed the latest clockworkmod recovery. Next I downloaded the latest official cyanogenmod rom for the dream/g1 and placed it on the phones SD card using my computer. I then re-opened rom manager and used it to select the zip file from the sd (to flash it) on prompt I checked two boxes one to wipe data and one to wipe the dalvik cache and pressed ok.
The phone rebooted into the recovery wiped the stuff, supposedly flashed the rom and rebooted. However it got stuck on the t-mobile g1 boot screen(it never showed anything else first or anything after) I left it for ages with no joy. I then tried wiping from the recovery and flashing again - same thing so i put cm5 on and tried flashing that. Same problem. Then i realised that it probably would not work because I would need to use DangerSPL as the /system partition is too small on the dream/g1. To be honest at this point I can't be bothered with to do that and this guy will be happy with anything above 1.6 to be honest so I thought I would try and flash CM4 because that's based on Eclair I believe (and so it not require I use DangerSPL or any other method to repartition the NAND). However, I tried it twice and still no luck.
At this point I'm somewhat panicking as I cannot seem to make the phone boot and it isn't even mine! Is anyone able to help?
Anyone? Please?
Look, at this stage I will forget custom roms etc. If anyone can tell me the easiest way to get this phone booting android again i would be very grateful.
Even if you could just tell me exactly how to restore it to stock 1.6 from here?
I have flashed roms on phones before - never had a problem but this is driving me crazy - please help!

HOW THE HELL CAN A GET THIS STUPID THING TO WORK AGAIN!??
MAJOR PANIC AS THIS IS NOT MY PHONE - PLEASE HELP!!!

Try this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803482. I hope it helps.
It's been way too long since I rooted mine to be of any real help but I shall try nonetheless.
Firstly, there is a guide in the G1 forum to unroot and get back to stock firmware: Here (but note that I've never done this).
I must stress though (admittedly from memory) that if you have flashed an SPL or radio image at all, be VERY careful about the order in which you revert back to stock (or go to get a custom ROM depending on which way you decide to go). The G1 is very picky, and flashing things (mostly SPL and radio IIRC) in the wrong order will brick the device. That said, if you follow the instructions you find to the letter you should be OK. But yeah, read twice, flash once.
There is a lot of information in the stickies in the G1 forum. It could take a while to wade through but it should all be there. Failing that, post in the Q&A or General G1 subforums and I'm sure a current user will help you out.
I apologise if I've just posted a bunch of stuff you already know/have read - like I said, I've not used the phone in a while - just trying to offer what I can.
Thanks
No worries now guys i've done it! It was quite complicated but its all sorted now. If anyone is trying this and has the same (or similar) issue then pm me and I will tell you how I sorted it.
Otherwise thanks guys and you can conciser this thread:

It has been FOREVER since I have messed with my G2x. But lately it has been super laggy, the keyboard never picks up what key I pressed properly, and the accelerometer is a MESS.
Im currently on March 2011 baseband, Android Version 2.3.7, and a very, very old nightly.
Im looking to update to the newest baseband as I hear it is a huge improvement, and also try out an ICS rom. I have been browsing and reading up, but am so rusty on reverting and flashing.
Would the proper, easy way to do this be as follows:? This is what I've gathered from reading, just don't want to brick my phone for a stupid reason.
1)Flash a stock ROM - Full Factory Wipe
2)Update baseband with LG Update Tool
3)Root Phone again
4)Flash Custom ROM?
Also, can you revert to stock ROM without an external SD card? I was reading a few topics stating you can't. I also have a backup of the original stock ROM(or at least I think) from a very, very long time ago. Can I just restore that?
I apologize in advance for all the questions, just trying to refresh my memory on this entire process.
from what ive seen, after getting cwm on your phone via nv flash you install one of the ics roms then before rebooting the phone you have to install a fix via cwm that owain has on one of rom pages (domination i think) then you are good to go. and yes, you have to use an external sd card for all of this.
After updating baseband you will lose root as well as CWM. You need to put it back on before you can flash a custom rom on it.

Ahh thank you! And I can not run the tool from a custom rom, correct? I have to flash back to stock, and then the updater will update baseband as well as unroot everything.
I also dont have an external SD card, so I guess I will be buying one to flash back to stock
Hey guys,
I'm having some problems getting my this Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE working on ting. The phone was on stock rom, and I put Cyanogen mod on it after using Clockwork mod to make a nandroid...however, the external sd card crapped out, so I wasn't able to revert using the nandroid.
After using another external SD card, I installed TWRP as a recovery instead, and loaded a stock rom from the stock rom dump here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295643 .... I used the JB stock rom, and it worked, but the Hands Free activation to get it on Ting's network is failing with some error authentication.
I guess I could go try going further back to "stock " by loading the ICS dump, but does anybody have the RSDlite files require to put it back to factory the "motorola" way?
Any help would be much appreciated!
