This was posted in another thread here, but it needs its own. (if someone beat me to it, please delete).
A .nbh image file has been released that will allow you to downgrade your rc30 phone to rc29 which will re-introduce the root bug. Once there you can follow the steps to get root access, install the modified recovery image and flash JF's rc30 and keep root! The steps can be found in various threads on this forum, and also in my wiki.

Good luck to everyone stuck on RC30 who wanted root, its finally here!
By the way, I got this info from disconnects site (gotontheinter.net) and I believe (might be wrong) he got it from here somewhere.
Hehe. I knew someone out there still had a copy of the RC29 NBH. This is great news!

I'll update my stickied post and host the NBH as well.
Nice, spread this fast!! all those users who have wanted root and its here. We need them all to get it before tmo or google find a way to block this!! Someone slashdot it!!! (just please dont slashdot my site directly lol, im on shared hosting)
Yehaaa, best christmas present, however a bit late
Anyone already tried it out?
To avoid creating two stickies with overlapping information, I suggest putting a prominent link in the first post to Koush's main sticky on rooting.
will this work on tc5-rc8 uk
Nope, we'll need a different .nbh file for that. With luck someone'll find it soon
works on stock RC30 just fine..

Man. chavonbravo is everyone's hero today.
I am trying this now - once flashed with root on RC7, can i do the bootloader flash to Engineering to keep root forever?
for the tc5 rc8 i keep getting
no signature (1 files)
verification failed
any ideas
Epic Fail
Runs through the update, then:
DREAIMG.nbh - FAIL
Update Terminate
UPDATE FAIL
UPDATE:
I had to download the DREAIMG.nbh that was in the zip file, and put that on the sd card. De-bricked, and now my phone is root-enabled.
Thank u so much, I have been waiting this for a long time. Happy new year to everybody
OMG it worked!!!!!
I wiped out my SD card with it connected to my comp through USB. Then reformatted it to FAT32 (it was FAT), and copied the dream file to my phone. Rebooted with the camera key held, pressed power when it told me to. Then it took less than 10 mins to do its thing and now I am setting up the phone again after its reset.
Woot!
kila-user 1.0 TC4-RC29 115247
ota-rel-keys,release-keys
am i missing something, i got the phone to flash back to RC29, did the reset and typed telnetd, but its not doing anything, it just says telnetd on the screen. did i miss a step?
After that go to market and download the telnet app and keep going. And using those walkthroughs I did what they said but I used JK v1.3 instead of 1.2 and now I am a very happy panda, just look at my sig!
thanks to all for the NBH file, I downgraded from RC30 to RC29, rooted upgraded to modified JF1.3 changed to Engineering bootloader, the best new year gift for G1 user.. am planning to upgrade to modifed RC8 but not now..

I was looking at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480 thread on rooting, hacking and flashing your phone.
I have the ADP1 and wanted to install JF1.31 on it.
I'm not sure how to get root on ADP1 since telnetd won't work on ADP1. Will I need root to install HardSPL? Or can I just copy the update.zip and continue as usual?
You already have root access on ADP1, just invoke su. You can install any SPL you wish as well, as your ADP1 already has the test keys used to sign the SPL packages. Just copy the update.zip to sdcard and reboot into recovery. Same goes for JF 1.31.

To telnetd on ADP1, go to the terminal emulator type su then enter then telnetd then enter. You can now telnet to localhost.
Thanks to both of you. I've got this sorted. Running the ADP build of JF 1.31 and installed HardSPL on it. Now going to enable application install to SD Card.

If you load this you will most certainly lose root I would wait until JF puts out a Modded version.
Nice, i already got tired of waiting
All Root Users Just wait for JF33
As this is Original Signed Update Package and will not load on rooted G1 as rooted G1 have Test key Signed Recovery Mechanism.
Good to see it Just on 5th Feb.
JF, Koush are you seeing this.

i kinda have the feeling they are too busy modifying to respond at the moment - LOL
For those who cant wait..... Wouldn't it be possible to try it out on emulator? like this http://androidcentral.com/cupcake-android-emulator/??? I dont know if it work, just throwing ideas.
I looked at the file there doesn't appear to be a new mountd.conf or init.rc... Is this an indication that if we've hacked "programs on SD" that this may still work if we apply this update? Just wondering as I would hate to lose that ability because of an update. Otherwise, this is great news... Just copy the file in it's current fashion to the SD or rename update.zip? That's the only other question. Also, no change in the bootloader... Interesting. I'll be excited to see what JF comes up with!!!
This is a Step forward to cupcake as Voice Search, Market Update Facility etc. were planned to be rolled out in Cupcake.
We have to wait for 4 or 5 such Updates to have Cupcake in our Mouth
Damn I just got it & was about to post it up too! Sweet hopefully we have it soon!
I just got my G1 2 days ago and I wanna get RC33. Now my question is, when i follow the instructions from the "Rooting, Hacking and Flashing" thread, can I simply download the RC33.zip instead of downgrading to RC29 then installing the RC33?
If you are not Interested Rooting the Device go on and raname Rc33 zip file to
update.zip and place it in Memory Card and Press Home + Power Button Constantly while booting and load RC33 right into the G1

If you are downgrading to RC29 you are probably wanting to root your phone with an upgrade to a modified RC30.
RC33 was JUST pushed by Tmobile and hasn't been modified yet. Meaning if you go through all that trouble of rooting your phone, you will lose it by going to RC33.
I would suggest if you wanna keep root to wait for a modified version of RC33.

Put the sd-card into a cardreader, delete the update.zip, copy the jf-zip and rename that to update.zip. Boot to recovery and flash the image.
If you dont have a cardreader, get one, or another g1.
The way i would do it is take your card out of the phone, place it into a mini card reader and delete the update.zip (theme) and place the update.zip (rom) onto the card.
hold down home+menu+end and proceed like normal to update from sdcard.
tats wat i orignally thought of doing...but i dont have a mini card reader
Im gonna try to borrow a freind's G1
but is there any other method i can try?

(xxx = file location of downloaded update)
step 7
reboot and install as normal
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 !!!

I'm glad you got it working man.
Good write up for others too. I used LucidREM's method to get apps on sd and it was the easiest and most understandable way for me too.
I started getting into the whole apps2sd phenomenon and this thread came just in time to keep me from getting frustrated. There are a few options out there but its nice having a noob walkthrough specifically for JFv1.5 to help guide the way.

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!
thx thx thx thx!!!
