Here are some instructions for installing JesusFreke's modified recovery image. You have to install the modified recovery image before you can install modified firmwares. These instructions are simpler than the existing ones because they don't require the use of adb or telnet.
Firstly, you need to already have firmware version RC29 or RC7. To check which version you have go to "Settings" and then "About phone". At the bottom you will see a "Build number" which will include "RC" and then a number. If you have RC30 or RC8 then you need to downgrade. THAT WILL WIPE ALL THE DATA/APPLICATIONS ON YOUR PHONE. Instructions for downgrading are here.
Now that you have RC29/RC7:
Download 'AndroidMod.zip' from one of the links in JesusFreke's post
Extract 'recovery_testkeys.img' from that zip and copy it to your SD card.
Download 'install.zip' which is attached to this post below.
Extract 'install' from that zip and copy it to your SD card.
Put the SD card in the phone or disconnect the phone if it is attached by USB.
Reboot the phone (switch it off and then on again).
When it has finished booting type the following at the home screen. It will start searching your contacts, but don't worry about that. Also, you won't see any visible sign that the first command worked. Just go ahead and type the second command straight afterwards:
cd sdcard<press enter>
sh install<press enter>
After a moment your phone should reboot itself. To check that the flashing worked, switch off the phone and then hold down the home key while you switch it on again. Keep the home key held down until you see the recovery screen (with the "!" triangle and the picture of the phone). Then press Alt+L on the keyboard and if you see "Using test keys" on the second line of text then the modified recovery image is installed and you can now install a modified firmware.
Cool! Thanks for that... much simpler... anyone else tried this yet?
I'm going to attempt all this later.

i just tried it and it works. confirmed.
great for beginners!
Hey tried it and it works!! Now how about one on restoring data after backup.
thanks for this just tryed it and worked first time.
First off thanks for all information here. Am I correct that after I downgrade to rc29 I then follow the instructions in this thread and then I can install jf 1.3 rc30. Or do I have this all wrong?

you are correct. once you have the modded recovery image, you can use jfs update zips.

Sweet! Thanks for the reply. I will attempt this real soon. Do you have any suggestions before I begin? After I modify the firmware I will not get ota updates anymore right? Lets say the cupcake update, or any other for that matter, does come out. I would just have to wait untill a smarter person then me converts it to a new modified image to flash to my phone? Is that right? Thanks for any help. I'm sure this is probably the worng place to ask all of these questions. d

in one of the zips from JF is an app that will REsign any update.zip, so when an ota comes you just have to wait for the update.zip to show up then you could REsign it with the dev keys, pretty easy, but it will probably show up pretty fast now that almost every G1 is probably running that keyset.

UPDATE..
Its working now...I wasn't doing it in the telnet client. I was just typing it in randomly and it didnt work that way for some reason.
Ok. I have downgraded to rc29 and copied the two images two my sd card. but I'm not sure if I even have root. When I try to change directory it doesnt happen. I have to have root by installing the modified rc29 right? I did type telnetd at the home screen and pushed enter. nothing happened. I know I'm missing something just not sure what yet? I did install the telnet client from the market as well. I'm not understanding something it appears. Anyone?

use the telnet client to telnet to localhost. *then* you will have root. (note: that's only applicable for RC29. to get root on JFv1.3, just type su in terminal emulator).
To know if you have root access, check the prompt you get. if you get #, then you have root access. if you get $, you don't have root access.

Hi there. I just wanted to clarify that if you're following the instructions I posted then you don't need telnet.

No, you don't need the modified RC29 to do this. After you type the "cd sdcard<enter>" command nothing visible should happen. It works because the bug in RC29 which we are exploiting executes everything you type on a hidden root console, so the cd command works, but it just doesn't show you anything. Then you enter the second "sh install<enter>" command and that runs a script that does all the good stuff and then reboots.

Correct, this is a really good idea! Instead of typeing telnetd to start it as root, you are typing in and running the script that will root your phone-- as root! I'll update my sticky post shortly.

i had this same problem, browsing thru the forums i found an answer
boot in to recovery console
where u suppose to press alt + s ect
asuming you have your usb drivers. and have the android sdk type this
adb shell
and then when it goes to #
type
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
that mounts your sdcard and you would be able to transfer the zip file you want to flash
im no expert hope that helps

If you are using RC33, and the theme isn't working, do this. (Requires apps on SD Card
-Open up terminal emulator.
-Type:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
busybox cp -a /system/media /system/sd
rm -r /system/media
ln -s /system/sd/media /system/media
-Reboot your phone
-Download the theme you want.
-Rename to update.zip and put it on your sdcard.
-Turn off the phone. Boot into recovery mode. (Home + Power Buttons)
-Once loaded, press Alt + S
-You're done.
Alternate Method Without Apps on SDCard
-Set your ringtone and notification for everything to something you have on your sd card
-Go to terminal emulator
-Type
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm -r /system/media/audio/ringtones
rm -r /system/media/audio/notifications

PRE-REQUISITE:
1. Rooted your phone
2. You created the FAT32 / EXT2 combo partitions
NOTE:
I used Paragon partition Manager 10 ($40) for the easy way but you can do it a bit harder way for free on your phone itself without a PC by following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500387
I've heard Ubuntu also works although Paragon Manager is the only one i've tried
INSTRUCTION: These are the steps i used and it worked like a Cupcake lol
1. Download the LucidRem Modified Update Below to the MicroSD on the FAT32 portion (Assuming you've already created a Fat32 / Ext 2 partition on your microSD) and rename it "update"
JFv1.5 = http://files.lucidrem.us/_fd.php?file=jf/1.50/ADP1.5/REM/update.zip
OTA Radio if your phone doesn't already have this radio version (to check on your phone its under settings > About phone > Baseband version) = http://files.lucidrem.us/_fd.php?file=jf/1.50/ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip
2. Flash your G1 (At this point I performed a Clean Wipe right before flashing but its your choice)
3. After flashing and the phone boots up open the terminal app on the phone and type in the following commands:
su
Press Enter
lucid app
Press Enter
lucid data
Press Enter
lucid dalvik
Press Enter
4. Reboot your G1 and your done.
*In your storage settings your phone internal memory should be from 70-74 MB.The apps will automatically go to your SD when you DL them.
LucidREM please don't be mad that i linked your modified update.zip in my thread and Thank you.
you are truly a god !! easy to read instructions you should be a technical writer !!!

Yes that is correct.
Quick question. Now once we've flashed Lucid JFv1.5 would we be able to reflash a themed JFv1.5 with the lucid's app to sd for newbies mod there?
Two questions:
1. I already have JF1.5 installed on my G1. Can I just do an Alt+S in the bootloader to apply this update?
2. Can I just move the cache and the dalvik instead of moving all 3? I don't have many apps so that is not a concern, but I have heard that the caches will clear up a ton of memory on their own.
Thanks!
I've been wanting to do this and even downloaded the free Partition Manager program last week and with your help I moved my apps to SD card tonight!!!
YOU DA MAN!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!
Lucid already modded JFv1.5 ADP?
EDIT
Answered my own question
Ugh I hate being so undecided, I really want to try Lucid's 1.5 since I loved his Apps2SD on 1.42 (in the little time I had 1.5 I couldn't get Apps2SD to work AT ALL) but I just installed debian with lxde back on JF 1.42 and I don't want to have to redo all that if I screw up since I don't use nandroid.
work fine for me too!

Im not sure because i don't use themes.Im also a newbie thats why i specified this post only use lucid modified rom.you can try it an then if it fails re wipe and do everything all over i.
I was wondering if it was possible to un-root a G1. I'm honestly having the hardest time with it. I've downgraded to RC29 but when trying to add "RC33: (md5: f24b6c237775147cb4bc42efc2393973)" it doesn't want to add when ... I followed the steps on the step by step of adding it and it always hangs up and wont add when in recovery mode while pressing Alt-S to apply the update.
-Could this be a problem because for some reason while i was putting in the info into Telnet it hung up at the recovery.img portion. Sorry new about moding phones... Cars i know phones i don't
I'm in the LA area if anyone else is and is willing to on there free time show me how i keep screwing up. Thanks
All you gotta do is reflash the DREAIMG.NBH file onto your G1 and it'll update by itself, which means you'll be back to stock.
Edit: Are you by any chance unzipping the file? If you are, you have to leave it unzipped and just rename to update.zip in the SD card.

-i rather keep it rooted and not have to revert to tmo's software but 4 hours and i feel like a total moron
Why would you want to unroot your phone? But if you really want to then just flash back to RC29 then wait for the phone to get the OTA updates.
I don't want to unroot but im unable to add 1.5 like i intended on doing. So right now im stuck with rc 29 and not cuppycake like i want. I wanted to re-up back to 33 like it said in the posting i was using as step by step and it wont allow me to update
Questions on Android 1.5 and rooting
Some advice will be appreciated!
I just got my G1 a few days a go I was reading from the Official t-mobile web site that the up-grade for android will be out randomly to customers and their expecting that all of us customers will have it by the end of May
Now should I go thru all the work of rooting my G1 and getting cupcake or just wait for the upgrade?
Is there a difference between the two of them?
In the upgrade to 1.5 I don’t see or read anything about the apps getting install and running from the memory card does anyone about this?
Thanks in advance!

Interesting root problem
Hey guys, been playing in a cupcake irc channel, while we are all waiting for ota cupcake, helping half a dozen or so people root, and i came across one that i figured i'd post here, and see if anyone has any ideas. Obviously i don't have his phone in hand, so i can't be 100% sure that he isn't flubbing a step, but he seems compitent enough to follow simple instructions. He has a stock g1 pvt board with an 8 gig transcend class 6 sdcard, we have formatted this card many times, we get through the nbh file, installs fine, telnetd steps no problem, put the update.zip on the sd card and boot into the bootlader, and everything goes hey wire, it cant find nor install the update.zip, we have redownloaded different spl's to try, triple verified the files weren't named update.zip.zip. the only odd thing i found about his phone, was in one of the threads on here, people were checking the output of the mount command, and for some reason for his sd card his output is /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /sdcard vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0711,dmask=0700,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,utf8 0 0 where everyone esles is p0 or p1 i cant quite remember. anyhow any ideas or suggestions would be great and no he does not have another sdcard at the moment for us to get it done with
Thanks in advance
ps this is his output form the boot loader
The top says:

I just manually updated my phone to the new cupcake 1.5 US version. I would like to root my phone but don't I have to wait until the modify version comes out? Or can I root right now by downgrading and then manually upgrading to stock cupcake again? Will upgrading with the stock cupcake update wipe out the root?

Hi,
Sorry if I'm wrong,
But thanks to NK02 mentioning in a thread to make one small change to boot.img ramdisk I now have JACHero 2.7.3 fully working (WIFI Bluetooth & FAST!) on my Magic 32B.
I used the normal update.zip from the dream forum, and extracted and changed the boot.img and flashed it in fastboot.
Heres the boot.img to save you making the change as well
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=R8OX15W1
I had also previously partitioned my sd card to have an ext2 and swap partition, all of which have been set up automatically so I know the boot.img is working as intended.
Very happy bunny now
UPDATE:
Seems to work for some. Having your SD card prepped with 3 partitions helps a lot.
Speed is going to be slower than say the NK02 Cyano ROM, but thats down to Rosie and the limited RAM, don't think we'll ever get that perfect.
At least now we know a way to use Dream Roms easily (sorry 32A owners, I think K4R1M will have something for you later)
UPDATE 5PM
i just used same method on cyanogens latest rom and works perfectly
Sounds real nice :> What about the gyro/compass ? Doesnt seem to work for me when using the original JACHero 2.7.3
Running well after 1 hour, widgets all stock not removed any and NO rosie reloads.
Little bit of lag, but nothing terrible (and for me to say that means it is hardly there!)
Anyone else tried it? I want to rule out me doing something silly
Compass working (at least in sky map)
Hi Again
Trying to set-up my sd card paritions, but parted command in adb shell is not working (not found error). Do I need a particular recovery image to be able to use parted ?
Thanks!

i dont think there is a magic recovery with the parted command. thats why i used a Gparted live usb boot (google unetbootin - will create a bootable usb stick for you) and a card reader in my netbook (yes I use a MSI wind with OSX )
well done dazcox.
can you please describe the process people need to take to load up boot.img?
eg. recovery screen, wipe, flash G1 ROM, reboot, let ROM load, reboot into fastboot, flash boot.img,.. and the required commands etc.
might be annoying, but it'll help to answer the flood of questions that your answer has brought
presumably as each new ROM produces changes we will need to edit the boot.img each time, as they may contain updates, yah?
Yes, I would assume each time new release we make the change.
My Process was this.
download the scripts from http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images
(beware if on OSX google and download newer cpio utility and copy to /usr/bin)
Download JAChero 2.7.3 full from dream forum
rename downloaded file to update.zip and copy to sd
on computer open update.zip and extract boot.img
Use unpack-bootimg.pl boot.img to extract the kernel and ramdisk
in the ramdisk dir rename init.trout.rc to init.sapphire.rc
repack-bootimg.pl boot.img-kernel.gz boot.img-ramdisk boot1.img
On your phone reboot to recovery (I use amon ra recovery from this forum)
BACKUP (nandroid is your saviour)
wipe
apply update.zip
reboot, but go straight to fastboot (vol down + power)
in fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot1.img
reboot
enjoy
*decide you want to try something else and start all over again*
For me who already have JACHero 2.7.3 installed with the cyanogen kernel, can I just flash the boot.img or do I need to make a complete wipe and include it into the update.zip?

I would rather use the full update.zip and then flash the boot.img to be sure.
Sorry - I'm learning as I go and don't know how to sign an update.zip yet
@ dazcox5181
can you make a working update.zip for us?

I might later, probably not though, as it's really easy to do.
I've followed the steps, and after flashing the boot1.img adn rebooting, the phone is really taking forever.
The screen is totally dark but i know the phone is on as i can enter through adb to it.
Any tips?
I had from before a class 6 card with 3 partitions, FAT, ext2 and swap (in that order).
Thanks
did you wipe/flash the normal (not ported) jachero rom first?
Then fastboot flash the boot.img?
Yes please +1

That would be fantastic for those of us that I are still on the steep part of the learning curve...

With the new update all predone all that needs doing is the partitioning of the sd card to be fat32 + ext2 then update rom in normal way, correct?

I decided to try just flash the boot image before redoing it all to see what would happen, and it is actually working Wifi and gyro didnt work before but is now.
The only thing is that Bluetooth A2D2 mode (playing music) doesn't seem to work. It says "playing media through bluetooth headset" but I get no sound. Can anyone confirm that this is working for you? If so maybe I will need to wipe and reinstall anyway.
