I have jf rc33
but i am still low on space if I factory reset what will my phone have? rc33? because I dont have a data plan and need to be able to activate without a data plan like I did before. will I be able to? and how?
thanks.
If you factory reset. Then JF RC33 will still be on there. It just clears our the apps you have and brings it back to if you just bought the phone, but with the exception of have JF RC33 instead of the stock rom. Correct me if in wrong guys, but I was reading the JF Firmware update and if you have RC33 then you should be able to skip the registeration and setup a wifi connection before you register, if you dont have a data play. If im wrong sorry, im still new to the G1 myself. Only had it for about a week now.
"One thing that I would like to point out about the ADP1.1 build is that it allows you to skip the initial google registration. This will make registering over wifi painless. You just click the "skip registration" button in the registration app, enable wifi in settings, then open the registration app again by trying to access one of the google apps (gmail, market, etc.), and then you can register over wifi." Sorry.
yeah thats what im wondering. I wanna factory reset but I have to make sure ill be able to activate wifi again since no data plan. can anyone confirm this? and what I need to do after I factory reset?

This might help you.
futango i read that but that doesnt help me as far as factory reset with rc33
Once you wipe you will have to re-register.
Root alone will not give you more IM(internal memory), but it will give you the ability to make some changes. Have you moved your caches over to your sd? did you move apps and/or even /data?
yes i did all that. i just wanna factory reset and install the few apps I need. if i factory reset with rc33 i read that guide and it says you need rc29 or rc30 so idk if i can with rc33?
can anyone please help

Just updated JF1.41. Everything seemed perfect, but I found I couldn't download anything from Market, and couldn't see any clips from your tube either. I am able to see the previews in both...it's odd. If I changed wifi to GPRS, everything went back to good..I really did some modificaitons on IM. But even I copied back the original files, the problem still existed..I don't know if I can flash the official build back to fix this??
for me it works with jf 1.4.1. the only issue I have so far is that snapphoto does not recognize my sd anymore (see my other thread).
Before going crazy and flashing back to RC29, try doing a full wipe and see if that fixes the problem.

Agreed. flashing the nbh is a bit.. extreme . Additionally, flashing the nbh is riskier than wiping or re-applying the JFv1.41 update. Flashing the nbh could potentially brick your phone, doing a wipe or re-applying the JFv1.41 update doesn't touch the bootloader, so it is much much safer.
I had to reboot my phone before downloading anything from the market but I think it was because of bad reception. I say first reboot it, if it doesn't help -wipe it.
I found that I had to log into Gmail to setup the phone and log into the market via GPRS and download one program before I could download reliably via WiFi.

Actually, I had done the wipe and re-applied the JFv1.41 update many times, but that didn't work for me. I knew I did something wrong, but I just didn't know how to undo what I had done...What I had done is that I deleted [email protected]@[email protected], and applied another version of this file in order to make my MSN work with others carriers except Tmobile in GRPS mode.
Anyone else with this problem on ADP1.1? I cannot even access the internet with WIFI any longer. I have deleted NOTHING, done a wipe, and prior to installing anything, tested it again. No dice
maybe a silly question, but those help me too, sometimes...
did you re-enter your wifi settings? they are wiped, too.

I was about to smack you upside the head (interwebz style) but I have done stupid stuff before like that and realized it would be unjustified. Yes, my settings are all good. I am connecting with WPA-PSK
I don't think it has a lot to do with the 1.41 biuld. I'm still using 1.31 and just recently I've started having this same issue. I have no clue why this is happening, all used to work fine about 1 1/2 weeks ago????
What is the most complete way to reset/reformat the phone and start with 1.41.
Is it simply a wipe and reupdate 1.41?
I've been having an annoying issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476122
It still hasnt resolved even after a wipe and reupdate, so i figure its one of the apps im installing.
Regardless I need some assistance, and it would really be appreciated.
Well, I tried to root it using the latest rc33 one... but now I have no service, so I can't even get passed the google register screen...
what do I do?
what version are you running now?
rc33, the update went fine. But now I'm stuck at google registration
Did you update the radio as well? I would also try pulling the sim card and then put it back in. Sounds stupid but has worked for me on other phones.
is there any way i can unroot it? maybe that would work?
sorry but im not very savvy when it comes to all these things.
no service? or no edge connection? Maybe you can try by editing the APN.
On the google registration screen, press "menu" on your phone and then tap "APN Settings". You can modify an existing one or you can add a custom APN.
try reflashing the RC30 firmware and see if that fixes it. if it does, then try for the RC33 one again. Mine messed up first time and a simple wipe and reflash seemed to sort it out.
As you were asked before you need to install the radio as well.
just a quick question, do you have to wipe your phone (alt+w) everytime theres a new rom update? for example if going from JF ADP 1.5 to JF ADP 1.6, do you need to wipe phone before applying the 1.6 update? or is it only necessary to wipe if your going from different roms for example JF to Haykuro..etc..etc
thanks
anyone have an answer to my question?
I'm curious as well. The impression is that you do not as long as you've wiped when you originally rooted.
I'm sure the safe answer is yes, you should wipe but that's a pain in the a**.
You should wipe IMO.
If you don't wipe and run into esoteric issues most likely you will be asked to do so anyways as it is the only useful troubleshooting tool most of these people have because
1.They don't know any better (no ones fault)
2.They don't have time take a look at your debug logs and then instruct you through some most likely intermediate-advanced commands to fix the issue.
Say you moved into an apartment and it's filled with the last occupants stuff. There's a blood stained sofa, stacks of magazine around the WHOLE apartment and a dirty toothbrush. Are you going to be comfortable sitting on that sofa? Would those magazines get annoying? Would you brush your teeth with the dirty toothbrush?
If you have to walk 10 miles, do you wear your own shoes or the last runner's leather shoes that are two sizes too small? If you can even get the shoes on you, you're gonna be in pain and give up within the first mile.
^_^
My answer is: Always wipe. Let the new OS use his own shoes.
ok i understand where you guys are coming from, but what if its only a small update to say JF ADP 1.6, and you are on JF ADP 1.5, it wouldn't make sense to do a wipe just for a small update. am i wrong here. now if ur going from JF to Haykuro then a wipe is definitely necessary. I read somewhere before, that mentioned you didn't have to wipe if you were staying within the same rom. i guess i just need a better understanding on this.
See the quote in my signature
hahaha! ok so I guess I will wipe before applying any new updates. what about the JFupdater app, it says it applys any updates, i dont believe the app wipes your phone before applying it, so is it best not to use the jfupdater when flashing an update?

My suggestion is generally this: Try it without a wipe. If it works, then great, you keep all your stuff the way you had it. If you run into issues that seem blaringly obvious(home process crashing, many force closes, boot looping, etc) then go back to the recovery image and do a wipe. There aren't any problems I know of caused by not wiping that can't be solved by going back and doing it after the fact.

thanks! thats exactly what i was thinking but wanted to be sure.
now wiping wouldn't mess up any links to the sd card(apps2sd) correct? wiping basically justs wipes the data from the phone....i guess what i mean is would I have to set up apps2sd again?
i'm with marcus, if you can get away with not wiping great, if not oh well wipe. or you could perform a nandroid bakup and then wipe, then after the update just fastboot flash your data.img

You would only need to restore the symlinks (if that's the method you were using).
Just had to let it be known. After trying this RUU several times trying to get the wifi to work. I finally figured out why it was not working. I did the following:
Download the RUU.
Install the RUU on you computer.
Run the RUU and allow your phone to reset itself.
Once up and running do a "FACTORY RESET" and erase "EVERYTHING" from your storage card...pics and all data.
If you don't your card will store information about the old wifi settings for some reason and the fix won't work.
So if you don't mind loosing all of you pics and data this fix does work.
I just transferd all of my pics to my computer and did a complete wipe of the sd card after installing the RUU.
So do master reset and click the option that says "erase all pics and data from card" that date that its removing is old data about your old wife settings that stay on the card even after installing the RUU for some reason.
This worked for me and now I have all five bars of wifi even as far out as the garage of my house.
You posted it like your posting the download link to the firmware..
Either way, Shouldn't this be in the general section since it's not really anything developed/programmed? Not gunna try it. Seeing as my phone works fine since I sit next to my router.
Or you could root, wipe, and re-flash,, and no workarounds don't belong in DEV. This basically says deleted your SD card,, but fact of the matter is, pictures and whatnot have nothing to do with this (if it's even a fix or issue). If it's there it's in another folder so it's a bad work around at that.
I also had problems with my wifi after the update, but I did a hard reset and it seems to have fixed it. Knock on wood... Sucks to hard reset but it seem to be working.

Thanks for your input. I don't care what forum it is in. I read them all!
