I have a question, I really am sorry for sounding like a noob but how do you install JF RC-33. I already got the RC-33 update today =], and how do you UNmod it?? GOD BLESS to all who choose to help me!!
I believe you can follow the directions from the sticky forum post JF RC33 1.41 to go from RC33 to RC 28. You may want to message Jesus Freke and ask him how exactly to do it he has helped at least a person or two go from RC 33 to RC 29 to the modded RC 33. Hope it helps dont forget to search the forums before posting.
Yeh. Just follow the steps in the stickied article I beleive it is called
rooting, hacking and flashing your g1 it has all the nessicary links and everything no need to contact jesus freke. that will walk you thru everything.
Same as above, but with links.
Follow the instructions on this link until you get root access on your RC29.
Then, instead of installing the links on that page for RC30, RC8 or Android Phone 1, download and install this update following the same instructions as you would if you updated via one of those links.
To un-root your phone, follow the steps in that same link under "Preparing to get root on your phone". This will restore you to RC29 without root.
Hope that helped, good luck, and I advise make a backup once you're on JF RC33

Hello. So I made the move from my wing to the G1. I got it yesterday and so far Im happy with it. Well, I already started to mess around with it. The first thing that I try to do was to root it. My G1 came with RC30 and I downgrade it to RC29 but that's as far as I could go. I couldnt go throught the whole rooting tutorial because I keep getting some errors. Anyway, I decided to leave my phone the way it is at least for a little while but then I was thinking on updating it. So, how can I go from RC29 to RC30 now? I never saw an option in the phone to upgrade OTA so I dont know what to do now... Any help?
TIA
this really helped me, just read carefully and follow all the steps

How to downgrade from Rc33
Ok...I updated to RC33. Didn't know before I updated that I wouldn't be able to go from RC33 to root. So now I need to downgrade.
Can anyone help me downgrade from RC33 to RC29? Or maybe even RC33 to RC30? I searched and couldn't find anything on this but did see someone post that JF walked someone thru it recently....how ever I can not find it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I been in that thread....it's instructions to downgrade from RC30....not RC33.
And I have been going backwards in that thread from the latest posts for about 10 pages now and see nothing about downgrading from RC33.
Doesn't matter what rom you have installed as of now.
You need to follow the instructions and then pick which rom betters you.
Or even try going straight to 30 by renaming it, update, and install it in recovery mode.
Ok....I missed one small word....RC30 and above...
Thanks...in the process of trying to gain root now...
To make it clear for me, is the old downgrading process with a new german RC33 G1 still possible or will it fail because of an new SPL?

i don't really understand your problem. you want to downgrade because you don't have root anymore?
if so, it's a bit strange because i have root access on RC33 Oo

Think he means he upgraded to OTA RC33. Anyway like the previous posters have already indicated, the NBH file downgrades OTA RC33 as well.
ah i see, my mistake.
Hey guys I have two quick questions:
1. I have an OTA rc33 (stock) update on my phone I just received today, in order to root my g1, I will need to downgrade to the stock rc29. It's imposible just to get my phone rooted straight from rc33?
2. If the first question is true. After I downgrade and rooted the rc29, can I just download the latest jfv1.41 rc33 (developer version) ? Or I would need to update the rooted rc30 first in order to get the jfv1.41 rc33.
Your kindly help and suggestion are greatly appreciated.

Correct you need to downgrade to RC29 first for root.
2. If the first question is true. After I downgrade and rooted the rc29, can I just download the latest jfv1.41 rc33 (developer version) ? Or I would need to update the rooted rc30 first in order to get the jfv1.41 rc33.
For RC29 you can install JF's Modded version of RC33
Your kindly help and suggestion are greatly appreciated.

You're welcome
Just One Question:
Is it still possible to downgrade with an GERMAN G1 with the original Bootloader installed on it, or is the security hole fixed which allows downgrading with the nbh File. Please do someone answer me that question please
I tried root but had problems went back to RC29 stock but now I would like to go to RC33. What do I need to do to manually update?
Viper
Links to manually update are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479571
i manually installed rc33 ota update and so i decided root my g1 then i get stuck on the colorful boot screen.
as the instructions on downgrading from rc30 i suspect it would be the same on a g1 with rc33.
im not sure if the formatting was done correct but i did the following:
on my eee linux netbook i typed
umnount /dev/sdd1
mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/sdd1
the zip file contained a file named "DREAIMG.nbh" the instructions quoted the file name as "DREAMIMG.nbh" so i tried it with both names and i get the same thing.

Thanks but that want work as I am at RC29 right now. That file says from RC30 to RC33.
Viper
Can I (we) get a stickied walk through with file links?
My main goal would be to restore my G1 to be able to receive official OTA updates again.
I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate this. Thanks in advance!
If you did a search there is a thread for this
This post tells you how.
Very simple.
Thanks for the response. Using search I found many posts with similar instructions. What I need to know for sure was if the linked RC29 image is an official release or a tweaked version. Remember my main goal is to be able to receive OTA updates again. No one has officially confirmed receiving an OTA update after going through the downgrade steps. It's just implied that it works.
It would also be interesting to know if it goes from RC29 straight to RC33 or not.
Once again, a sticky would be nice.

Well it is simple...but if you have hard spl, and jf rc33 dont you have to push the official keys so it can work I have searched and looked at many threads. sorry about the noob question. Im sending back my phone so i want to make sure its stock
I followed the steps in the post. My G1 also had Hard SPL and was rooted with JF RC33. I didn't mess with "official keys" as I'm assuming they come with the RC29 image that was linked.
A stock G1 bought from a store receives the update wtihin 3 days so we'll see if this works.
Ok confirmed. 2 days after following the steps mentioned above I received RC33. Full stock factory reset restore with update.

Thank you, Guess ill do the same
ive searched the thread and i am sooo sorry if its on here somewhere i feel bad im so used to bein a pro on this site with windows mobile so this is a little weird to be on this end but heres my question,
i wanted to root my g1 to theme it..i have rc33 so from reading the instructions it says i have to downgrade ...ok..now..how come there are themes for rc33..what am i missing ...again i am so sorry
You have to downgrade to RC29, follow the instructions for root, THEN upgrade to JesusFreke's RC33 builds (either JF1.41 or JF1.42). After you get root, it's just a matter of flashing the new build from the SD card.
got it make complete sense thanks so much i am really pretty good at this stuff but that threw me off lol
wassup people, i had rooted my phone a while ago and i need to know in order to update to jf 1.5, do i have to follow the same steps again or is there a different process since its already rooted i really dont know. i also nedd to know how to update the radio. im tired of my phone saying forclose
please hei need help people!!!!!!!!!
there are plenty of threads on how to install updates. as for which one to do first. It really doesnt matter. Just install one update reboot normally, copy other update to sd card, reboot into recovery again and install that update and reboot again.
so the only thing i have to do is add update to sd card and rename update zip and reboot it and thats it
mods
Same as any other build read the damn stickys at the top
Don't bother to use the search function. Don't bother to read any of the 100 threads that have been created about flashing a rom. You just post a new thread. Mods please lock this thread.
or once you are on any JF, just download his app from the market and let it do the work for you.
