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?

Links to manually update are here:

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.

I'm a total noob! so don't flame me!
I just rooted my phone the other night, following the gizmodo site instructions carefully to obtain root and the multi touch function (had no sweats and no troubles! ).
The version was JF1.41, my question is that if i update to JF1.42 will i still have the features that JF1.41 offer? and i just downloaded the JF updater from the market and wondering if anyone can tell me if that ish is legit or do i have to update it to JF1.42 manually?
THANKS GUYS!! Any help would be greatly appreciated
as long as you don't wipe when you apply the upgrade then you should keep everything. I'm not sure what differences there are between 1.41 and 1.42 though, there's probably a thread stickyied at the top detailing them
Is it JF 1.41 without RC33? In that case, you would be getting new features in JF1.42.

Now I want to put the official cupcake update on my phone, Now I dont care about my apps and settings since I can always re do them, But how could I have cupcake on my phone.. WITH it rooted and most importantly still be able to put my apps on my sd card?
I see here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462512
So by this I can root it and add the cupcake update, now when i did the apps on sd update, I used the guide that has the update.zip, so im guessing if I do the instructions above ill be able to wipe out my phone, re root it, and update it with cupcake, then all i need is to find a way to add apps on sd card, my question to u is, is there a easier way to do it like in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480582
or do I have to follow one of those really hard guides like this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=504235
So to clarify, i want rooted phone, cupcake and apps on sd, if someone could point me in the right way/guide to do it id be really happy
ps im not a dev so I can only follow what a guide says
no, no and no. rooted phones **CANNOT** install the official OTA updates. you will get notified but it will fail. if you want official, downgrade to rc29 using the nbh (link in my wiki) and wait for OTA updates. if you want JF update, give it more time.

SO theres no way to have root apps on sd with cupcake until JF makes his own or someone else? or is there a way to have root and sd on apps just need to find a way to have cupcake download into it?
right now all my phone is running off JF rc33 build and JF radio update and lucus apps on sd guide
As Darkrift stated ....
If you can't wait for one of the dev's here to release their custom version of the offical firmware, downgrade to RC29 and wait for the OTA update.
Now there is no telling how long it'll be before you get this update.
If you want apps 2 sd you can wait on the custom release from one of the devs here once they release the firmware you can install it and start using your apps on your sdcard.
I'm betting the dev's here will have the modded version of the firmware out before the majority of us have the OTA update pushed to us. That is what happened last time.
I'm not the most knowledgeable person here, but you simply cannot have A2SD on an official ROM from TMo, they have never supported it, and most likely won't in the future. So the only way is to get A2SD is to get one of the modded ROMs from here... none of them are OFFICIAL, but JF's release is nearly identical (even better) and has root... I see no reason to have the official ROM
Alright thanks guys, I guess Ill wait
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.

Dude relax. Tmobile should automatically send you an update that will upgrade you to Rc33.
You sure? I'm on rc29 now and its been for the past 3 days.. idk what to do I only wish I had my rc33 back lol
First off, why would you want to go back to the $#!t stock phone firmware?
But yeah, if you unrooted your phone successfully, just wait for T-Mo to send you an update. If nothing happens in the next two years, follow these instructions:
