I know that a lot of you out there are like me and not a computer programmer. I am sure that I am not the first person to post something like this but I know that this is going to be the easiest.
To start you will need a formatted MicroSD Card (any size will do). If you do not have a spare MicroSD card, backup all your files on your current MicroSD Card to your PC then format it using your computer.
Also your MyTouch must be running on 1.5 (cupcake) software. If your MyTouch is not running on 1.5 (cupcake) go to this site to downgrade your phone to 1.5 (cupcake) http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/
I know there are a lot of steps but it will take less then 10 minutes.
If links do not work copy and past in browser window
Steps:
1. Download this file “flashrec-1.1.2-20090909.apk” from this link http://code.google.com/p/flashrec/ (the file is on the right hand side of the screen) to your PC.
2. Download this file “cm-recovery-1.4.img” http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/cm-recovery-1.4.img (click on link and save file) to your PC.
3. Copy both files to your formatted MicroSD Card.
4. Go to Android Market download and install “Linda File Manager”.
5. Go to “Setting” on your MyTouch
6. Go to “Applications”
7. Check “Unknown Sources” (this will allow you to install programs not from the Market)
8. Go to “Linda File Manager”
9. Go to “SD Card”
10. Click on “Linda File Manager” (when the pop up window appears)
11. Click and Run “flashrec-1.1.2-20090909.apk”
12. Click on “Backup Recovery Image” (once Backup Recovery Image is done move on to next step)
13. Clear out the text box and type in “/sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img"
14. Click on the “Flash Custom RecoveryImage” button (once Flash is
done move on to next step)
15. Click on “Home” button
16. Turn MyTouch off
17. Hold down the “Home” and “Power” button (keep holding it down until you see a Black screen with Green fonts)
18. If on the bottom of the screen you see “Build: CyanogenMod v1.4 +
JF” in White Font you have successfully Rooted you MyTouch
*if you interested in loading a custom ROM please continue. I recommend CyanogenMod. They are the best and it work well.
*this will result in a complete memory wipe. None of your existing data or installed software will be left.
19. Scroll down to and select “nandriod v2.2 backup”
20. Click on “Home” Key to continue (by doing this you have created a backup file that you can restore if something goes wrong)
21. Scroll up to “reboot system now”
22. Download “update-cm-4.2.5-signed.zip” from this link: http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/update-cm-4.2.5-signed.zip (save the file when the pop up window appears)
23. Download “HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip” from this link: http://www.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=enomther/ROM/&file=HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip
24. Copy the downloaded files to your MicroSD Card.
25. Turn off Phone
26. Hold the “Home” and “Power” until you get to the screen with Black background and green font.
27. Scroll down to “wipe data/factory reset”
28. Click on “Home” Key (once wipe is down move on to next step)
29. Scroll up to “apply any zip from sd”
30. Select “HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip”
31. Click on “Home” Key (once install is done move on to next step)
32. Scroll up to “apply any zip from sd”
33. Select “update-cm-4.2.5-signed.zip”
34. Click on “Home” Key (once install is done move on to next step)
35. Scroll down to “wipe data/factory reset”
36. Click on “Home” Key (once wipe is down move on to next step)
37. Click on “reboot system now” (reboot will take longer then usual
due to new install)
38. Once reboot is complete your done.
I would recommend that you go to the Andriod Market download and install an Overclock program. It will improve the performance of your MyTouch.

If you are running 1.6 you have to downgrade to 1.5. Please read the first couple of paragraphs to downgrade. It is easy.
When can we root the official SenseUI please?

Will this work for HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP30000) ?
As bad as it is. .. .Me and you are in the same page. The only problem is that I already bricked my first NTT DOCOMO HTC MAGIC(Later on converted to MT3G before I bricked it). Right now, I finally got a replacement from DOCOMO however, those punks came updated the fw already when they give me the replacement. I manage to root my fone via gold card then unrooted again thanks to unlockr.com but then I got caught up messing with the terminal. Just like that my phone just went away. I have a perfected SPL .000006 and with fw of 1.6. This punks keep saying its so easy, I think they're full of crap. Instead of just throwing garbage at you why not be specific in what they talking about. I have tried to load all kinds of recovery images on this thing but no joy. Donut actually has a built in recovery image ( I think it only has like four options, which are purely useless) One last thing that I need to try is probably go back to gold card method but the problem is I havent seen a single one perform this act. Again, I am coming from a stock perfected SPL .00006/official fw 1.6. If you guys can be kind enough to at least lead us the right way, Im pretty sure that we'll handle the rest. Please no garbage reply. Thank you.
i just used this tutorial to root and install MLIGN's HERO 3.0 on my brother's mytouch and it worked great the first time!
thanks!

VerY good Post I this need to be in the Wiki....
Ok, that worked, but need a little help from anyone.
I followed these instructions on my MyTouch 3g and did also install the suggested ROM.
However, after installing the rom I realized there are more recent releases out there. If I wanted to install a newer rom do I have to redo each step?
I have CyanogenMod-4.2.13 and update-cm-4.2.13-signed on my spare SD card.
Another question I had (which maybe irreverent at the moment...) after step 17 I did see '“Build: CyanogenMod v1.4 +JF” giving me root access. However, when I did try to install and launch a overclock utility that requires root, it said I do not have root access. Am I missing something?
(removed --> see post #2)
WARNING: This tutorial is for RogersDream users only! It does not apply to G1/dream users. If your wireless telephone carrier is not Rogers, this tutorial is not for you!
This how-to/tutorial's intent is to provide clear/safe/concise steps for Rogers users to keep root, update to the latest RogersRadio & Build and get your data connection back from Rogers, while keeping your root! Since I do not want to dis-rotate on the various potential setups you may or may not have currently installed, this is a start-to-finish guide. Meaning, this guide will work, so long as you are ALREADY ROOTED! If you're not already rooted, <this apparently is not solved yet, sorry>).
The only other note I'll make is that if you currently already have the latest RogersRadio installed (3.22.26.17), the ENG-1.33.2005-SPL and a testkeys recovery image (Amon_RA's 1.5.2R preferred) you may directly proceed to installing a rooted/custom ROM made specifically for EBI1 device layouts.
In order to determine what your RogersDream currently has installed on it, perform the following.
1) Determine Radio & SPL Version.
- PowerOff your phone.
- Press and Hold your Camera button and tap the power button, this will load the bootloader.
- Read the versions, if you see "RADIO-3.22.26.17" and "HBOOT-1.33.2005", then you have the proper radio/spl, if not, perform the steps in this guide.
2) Determine Recovery Image Version.
- PowerOff your phone.
- Press and Hold the Home button and tap the power button, this will load the recovery image.
- If you see "Build: RA-dream-v1.5.2R" at the bottom of your screen, you have the correct recovery image. If you see a Triangle with an "!" mark or you see nothing at all after the Rogers SPLASH SCREEN, perform the steps in this guide.
General Step Sections
1) Backup your phone and sdcard, just to be safe!
2) Charge your battery fully!
3) Gather/Download the prerequisite files/tools, check the MD5's, unpack and copy to your sdcard.
4) Downgrade your RogersDream to gain root and ensure proper EBI1 setup/layout.
5) Install flashrec to install Amon_RA's 1.5.2R recovery image.
6) Upgrade/Convert your SPL to 1.33.2005 ENG, to ensure root going forward.
7) Install Rogers latest Radio Update, version 3.22.26.17.
8) Confirm everything updated correctly.
9) Install Custom/Rooted ROM w/EBI1 kernel support.
THE GUIDE
Section 1) Backup your phone and sdcard, just to be safe!
a) Seriously do this! Backup whatever you deem necessary on the phone, however you see fit. This guide is not meant to walk you through this process. One suggestion though, if you're currently rooted, perform a nandroid backup in recovery, then backup all of your sdcard's contents to a computer. If you need help with this step, search around. If that doesn't help, then perhaps rooting (or this guide) is not for you, perhaps.
Section 2) Charge your battery fully!
a) Seriously do this! Just make sure you have well over 90% battery charge, just to be 100% safe. Also make sure you're battery is very secure during this process, meaning never pull the battery and if you know that your battery is prone to falling out or something like that, fix it somehow b/c you don't want it falling out during this process, k? Nuf Said.
Section 3) Gather/Download the prerequisite files/tools, check the MD5's, unpack and copy to your sdcard.
a) You're going to need adb setup and functioning for section #5, in order to install flashrec w/out a data connection. You *may* be able to get installed via wifi, by downloading it directly from the internet, but don't count on this!!! I will only cover the adb method in this how-to. So get adb installed on your computer and test/make-sure it functions before following this guide! If you don't get adb tested/installed before going through with this guide, you'll be stuck at section-#5 until you do! If you need help with this step, search around. There is plenty of information on xda for getting adb setup and tested.
b) Download this ZIP file, check it's MD5 checksum and make sure it matches the one in this post! If it matches, great!, unpack the contents and copy them to your phone's sdcard. If it doesn't match, redownload the ZIP file. You will need approxiately 114MB of freespace on your phone's sdcard for the unpacked contents.
Rogers_RootUpdate_SDCARD_files.zip
MD5: 013ed64ca02dbebb5e49a8a8474bebe1
I) Files in the zip that need to be copied to your phone's sdcard are ...
--- DREAIMG.nbh
--- ar152r-rec.img
--- rogers_radio_3.22.26.17_update.zip
--- rogers_spl_1.33.2005_update.zip
c) Download this flashrec.apk, check it's MD5 checksum and make sure it matches! Keep this handy on your computer to install with adb later.
flashrec.apk
MD5: 4634f88b8dfdb2332b447c0d85ff4bb6
Secion 4) Downgrade your RogersDream to gain root and ensure proper EBI1 setup/layout.
a) PowerOff your phone.
b) Press and Hold the Camera button and tap the Power button, this will boot into the bootloader.
c) At this point the bootloader should automagically detect the presence of DREAIMG.nbh on the sdcard and prompt you to "update" your phone with the message, "Do you want to start update?". It should say "<ACTION> Yes" and "<POWER> No". Press the rollerball in (this is the action button) to begin the update.
d) The update process will begin (really a downgrade to version 146733-1.85.631.5) ... it will go through the update process, wait till this process is 100% finished! You will be prompted once it is finished, with a reboot prompt with a similar "<ACTION> YES" and "<POWER> NO" prompt. Go ahead and reboot by pressing the rollerball.
e) You are now downgraded and ready to root.
Section 5) Install flashrec to install Amon_RA's 1.5.2R recovery image.
a) Once your phone is booted up, skip through the setupwizard by hitting the series of skip and next buttons.
b) Go into Settings, Applications and check the box for "Unknown sources", press 'OK' at the prompt.
c) Then press the "Development" button and check the box for "USB debugging".
d) Plug your phone into your computer via the USB cable.
e) Install flashrec.apk via adb with the command "adb install flashrec.apk". You should receive a success message and be able to confirm that "Recovery Flasher" is installed by viewing the phone's apps now.
f) Launch the "Recovery Flasher" app.
g) If there is a URL in the textedit box, remove (backspace it) completely. And enter the following
Code:
/sdcard/ar152r-rec.img
This should change the "Download Recovery Image" button into the "Flash Recovery Image" button. If not, make sure you typed the above properly and have that file on your sdcard.
h) Now press the "Backup Recovery Image", which will backup the original image, once it's complete the "Flash Recovery Image" button will enable itself.
i) Press the "Flash Recovery Image" button, which will install Amon_RA's v1.5.2R recovery image. Let it finish, you now have a rooted recovery image installed. Proceed to section-#6.
Section 6) Upgrade/Convert your SPL to 1.33.2005 ENG, to ensure root going forward.
a) PowerOff your phone.
b) Press and Hold the Home button and tap the power button, this will load Amon_RA's recovery image.
c) Use the rollerball to scroll down the "[Alt+F] Flash zip from sdcard" option and press-in on the rollerball.
d) You should see an entry in the list labeled "SDCARD:rogers_spl_1.33.2005_upd", roll the rollerball over this to highlight it and press-in on the rollerball.
e) You will prompted to confirm your selection, ensure the prompt says "SDCARD:rogers_spl_1.33.2005_update.zip" and if so, press the Home button to confirm.
f) It will flash through quickly with a message indicating "Extracting hboot image ..." and then a message saying "Reboot via home+back or menu to complete installation".
g) The rollerball will already have the top option highlighted "[Home+Back] Reboot system now", press in the on the rollerball. You should quickly see "writing hboot image ..." on the bottom ... followed by a quick reboot showing an "HTC" logo ... followed by another reboot which returns to Amon_RA's recovery. Proceed to section-#7.
(SEE POST #3 for Next Steps)
Section 7) Install Rogers latest Radio Update, version 3.22.26.17.
a) Use the rollerball to scroll down the "[Alt+F] Flash zip from sdcard" option and press-in on the rollerball.
b) You should see an entry in the list labeled "SDCARD:rogers_radio_3.22.26.27_", roll the rollerball over this to highlight it and press-in on the rollerball.
c) You will prompted to confirm your selection, ensure the prompt says "SDCARD:rogers_radio_3.22.26.27_update.zip" and if so, press the Home button to confirm.
d) It will flash through quickly with a message indicating "Extracting radio image ..." and then a message saying "Reboot via home+back or menu to complete installation".
e) The rollerball will already have the top option highlighted "[Home+Back] Reboot system now", press in the on the rollerball. You should see "writing radio image ..." on the bottom ... followed by a reboot showing an "HTC" logo for a few moments ... followed by another reboot which returns to Amon_RA's recovery. Proceed to section-#8.
Section 8) Confirm everything updated correctly.
a) At this point you should be back in Amon_RA's recovery.
b) Make sure the rollerball is highlighting the top option "[Home+Back] Reboot system now", then Press and Hold the Camera button, then tap/press-in the rollerball.
c) This will reboot you into the bootloader, at which point the Radio and SPL versions will be presented. If all went well you should now have "HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA10000)" and "RADIO-3.22.26.17".
Section 9) Install Custom/Rooted ROM w/EBI1 kernel support.
a) You are now ready to flash a custom ROM w/EBI1 support. If you flash my "TheOfficial Rogers v2.0.1 EBI1", it is a mirror image of everything necessary to get your data turned back on from Rogers. I'm also aware that CyanogenMOD has an EBI1 support/patch for RogersDream users, and I "hear" it works too in terms of not shutting off your data plan.
TheOfficial Rogers v2.0.1-EBI1 can be found here ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556933 .
Simply download the v2.0.1-EBI1 version of the ROM (at the bottom of POST#1), copy it to your sdcard, boot into recovery, perform a data wipe, flash the ROM and reboot. And you'll be all set.
CyanogenMOD for EBI1 ... reference his wiki here ... http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod ... not 100% sure how the full install goes, but skip to "updating cyanogenmod" section and probe his thread for ROM+gapps installation process, etc. ... or visit them on freenode #cyanogenmod, they're always very happy to help.
Reserved......
Doing it right now! I'll give you an update on how it went. Thank you soooo much!
Is this supposed to work even on Rogers Dream with 1.89.631.1 applied (911 fix)?
I receive the following screen output when trying to flash DREAIMG.nbh:
Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Do you want to reboot device?

Not sure ... I had thought that Haykuro was suggesting it would. Honestly I do not have a personal experience with that update so I can't say for sure. But the message you are receiving would imply that ... what SPL version do you have ?

It seemed to me that it was suggesting you could indeed downgrade with that image. The image is one and the same.
EDIT: OK apparently they never found a fix if you're already running the latest non-rooted rogers update. So apparently you need to be rooted already. Sorry 'bout that. I'll update the OP with this information.

I updated the OP with this information. Sorry ... the testing Rogers devices I had access to were already rooted. Didn't take enough care to read that entire thread.
Hopefully a solution will be found soon via GoldCard or the like.

Upgrade
I just finished my upgrade and I will wait for me data to return. Fingers are crossed!!
Also, acore seems to crash quite often. Is this normal?

Did you wipe before installing the new ROM ? That can cause the acore FC problem if you didn't.
If so ... wipe again in recovery and if you used Apps2SD ...make sure you ext partition is wiped too.
~enom~
Hey, I'm already rooted with CM 1.4's recovery and HBOOT 1.33.2005. Is Amon_Ra and the ENG version of HBOOT really needed or can the Radio just be updated?
Sorry if this has been addressed in other threads already.
Thanks,
Tom
Welll so far, it's working. Now I just have to wait for my data to be restored. Thank you!

Hey, I'm already rooted with CM 1.4's recovery and HBOOT 1.33.2005. Is Amon_Ra and the ENG version of HBOOT really needed or can the Radio just be updated?
Sorry if this has been addressed in other threads already.
Thanks,
Tom

I'm really recommending ALL versions match. Really knowing which ROM your running says it all.
If you're running my TheOfficial Rogers EBI0 ... meaning the "original" ROM ... and not the new EBI1 ROM, then you must update.
But simply as the first post states, if you're running an older radio ... such as 2.22.19.26I ... you must follow all of the steps. It's a complete rebuild to get you to EBI1, to support the newer radio.

Awesome! Not sure if you'll have to beg Rogers to cut back on your data now or not, but once it's on, you should be golden.

I am currently running your rogers original. I will update. Quick question however, does Amon_Ra's support SwitchROM? I really love that script!

Yes it does, just goto console and type switchrom -s WhateverYouWannaCallIt to save and switchrom -r to restore.

Yea it does ... but again ... with moving to an EBI1 setup, your ROM choices will be much more limited now.
I'm only aware of my RogersEBI1 and the CyanogenMOD w/EBI1 kernel patch working. There may be others, I haven't bothered to dig around enough ... but the point is ... limited options, as virtually all of the ROM's in this section are EBI0 ROM's.

Thanks shadow (I don't like your avatar)
I need the full exchange support that your ROMs offer. I have been very limited in my choices anyways. Good thing you make excellent ROM's!
This method has now been updated using the newly released 1.47.651.1 RUU. The portion of this post in light gray is kept for historical interest only.
This PC36IMG.zip contains a complete set of firmwares from the latest RUU (hboot, boot, recovery, system, userdata, microprocessor, radio, and WiMAX), except the HBOOT has been replaced with the one from the engineering build (to give you unlocked NAND) and the recovery has been replaced with Amon RA 1.7.0.1 (so you can flash updates signed with the test keys).
Note: This process will only work if you already have the engineering HBOOT. (If you have NAND unlocked, you already have it and can proceed confidently.) If you'd like to check the actual version, you can boot into HBOOT and look near the top of the screen: it should say HBOOT-0.76.2000, not 0.79.0000. If you have 0.79.0000, you will need to do Toast's Part 2 first before starting here.
Download this file, rename it PC36IMG.zip, and put it on the root of your SD card however you like.
PC36IMG-1.47.651.1_eng-hboot_RA-1.7.0.1.zip (md5=1ae574c403e9a2694de97706391255c0)
Power off your phone.
Hold down the Volume Down and Power buttons until the white screen appears.
HBOOT will scan the PC36IMG.zip file. You'll see a blue progress bar on the right side of the screen.
When it's finished scanning, it will ask if you want to start the update. Press the Volume Up button to answer Yes.
Wait a while for it to flash all the images.
If you get a "Fail-PU" error on the recovery image, see below.
When it finishes and asks if you want to reboot the device, press the Volume Up button to answer Yes.
After the phone has rebooted, delete the PC36IMG.zip file from your SD card.
Download this file to your SD card:
su-2.1-e-unsecure-signed.zip (md5=a055c916168db7e61a75a37a13993cd6)
Power off your phone.
Hold down the Volume Down and Power buttons until the white screen appears.
If you forgot to delete PC36IMG.zip from your SD card, HBOOT will scan it again now. When it asks if you want to start the update, press Volume Down to answer No. When it asks if you want to reboot, press Volume Down again.
Now you should be at the HBOOT menu. Press Volume Down to move the selection to RECOVERY and press the Power button to select it.
In a moment, you'll be at a different looking menu.
Using the Volume and Power buttons as before, select "Flash zip from sdcard."
Select su-2.1-e-unsecure-signed.zip from the list and follow the prompts to flash it.
When that's finished and you're back at the menu, choose "Reboot system now."
You should now have root, unlocked NAND, working WiMAX, and great battery life.
You're finished! The remainder of this post is supplemental information for those who are interested.
Fail-PU error
It seems some EVOs just don't want to take the Amon RA recovery. If you're running into the infamous "Fail-PU" error, try deleting the recovery image from the PC36IMG.zip and flashing again. Do note, if you currently have the stock recovery loaded, doing this will mean that you will be unable to install the su-2.1-e-unsecure-signed.zip package to get root/superuser, as described above, until after you've flashed a custom recovery, which you can't do from within the system using flash_image unless you have root. The only way in that case is to use fastboot. If you're coming right from Toast's Part 2, then none of this should be a problem, since you'll already have a custom recovery, albeit an old and crusty one.
After you've done this procedure, this is how you make changes to /system:
whitslack said:
To make changes to /system, you have to remount it read/write.
After switching to a root shell (# prompt), type mount and press Enter.
Look for a line that includes the word /system. On that line, look at the part that says /dev/block/mtdblockN, where N is a digit. That is the partition that your system lives on.
Type "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblockN /system", substituting the digit you saw in the previous step for N.
Now your system is mounted read/write and you can make changes. Proceed cautiously.

Here's how you can tell if you're royally boned:
whitslack said:
If you have the engineering HBOOT, you can flash anything you want at any time. That's why it's so crucial to have it.
The point of no return looks like this:
You have the release HBOOT, AND
You are running system 1.47.*, AND
You have the stock recovery, AND
You do not have root access.
In other words, if one or more of the following are true, you can get all the rest:
You have the engineering HBOOT, OR
You are running system 1.32.*, OR
You have a custom recovery, OR
You have root access.

~~~~~ beyond this point is for historical interest only ~~~~~
If you're looking for a way to have working WiMAX with the 1.47.651.1 update and keep your root access, try this. It exhibits some interesting behavior at the end that is not seen with other update methods, which leads me to believe that this method does correctly upgrade the WiMAX.
There is confirmation that this method yields a working WiMAX/4G. And screen grabs.
Step 1: Revert to the initial release of everything
This PC36IMG.zip contains all the original firmwares from the first released RUU (hboot, boot, recovery, system, userdata, microprocessor, touch panel, radio, and WiMAX), except the HBOOT has been replaced with the one from the engineering build (to give you unlocked NAND) and the recovery has been replaced with Amon RA 1.7.0.1 (so you can flash updates signed with the test keys).
Note: This process will only work if you already have the engineering HBOOT. (If you have NAND unlocked, you already have it and can proceed confidently.) If you'd like to check the actual version, you can boot into HBOOT and look near the top of the screen: it should say HBOOT-0.76.2000, not 0.79.0000. If you have 0.79.0000, you will need to do Toast's Part 2 first before starting here.
Download this file, rename it PC36IMG.zip, and put it on the root of your SD card however you like.
PC36IMG-1.32.651.1_eng-hboot_RA-1.7.0.1.zip (md5=413285641ee70e8c197f38cea649205b)
Power off your phone.
Hold down the Volume Down and Power buttons until the white screen appears.
HBOOT will scan the PC36IMG.zip file. You'll see a blue progress bar on the right side of the screen.
When it's finished scanning, it will ask if you want to start the update. Press the Volume Up button to answer Yes.
Wait a while for it to flash all the images.
When it finishes and asks if you want to reboot the device, press the Volume Up button to answer Yes.
Your device is brand new again, except you have unlocked NAND and a custom recovery.
Delete the PC36IMG.zip file from your SD card.
Note: You will not have root at this point. This is to be expected, as you are running a totally stock system partition now. The key is that you have a custom recovery installed, meaning you can apply the su-2.1-e-unsecure-signed.zip update as described below, which will install the su and Superuser.apk files (i.e., give you root access).
Step 2: Rapid-fire updates
Download these three files to your SD card:
su-2.1-e-unsecure-signed.zip (md5=a055c916168db7e61a75a37a13993cd6)
OTA_Supersonic_1.32.651.6-1.32.651.1_rootsafe.zip (md5=7ecc89be93b3834babd782ca17e97b39)
OTA_Supersonic_1.47.651.1-1.32.651.6_rootsafe.zip (md5=1326bf00bcdcb6937a8cccd2a82c69fb)
Power off your phone.
Hold down the Volume Down and Power buttons until the white screen appears.
If you forgot to delete PC36IMG.zip from your SD card, HBOOT will scan it again now. When it asks if you want to start the update, press Volume Down to answer No. When it asks if you want to reboot, press Volume Down again.
Now you should be at the HBOOT menu. Press Volume Down to move the selection to RECOVERY and press the Power button to select it.
In a moment, you'll be at a different looking menu.
Using the Volume and Power buttons as before, select "Flash zip from sdcard."
Select su-2.1-e-unsecure-signed.zip from the list and follow the prompts to flash it.
When that's finished and you're back at the menu, select "Flash zip from sdcard" again, choose OTA_Supersonic_1.32.651.6-1.32.651.1_rootsafe.zip, and follow the prompts to flash it.
You will now be updated to 1.32.651.6.
Ignore the warning that says "ignoring attempt to do multiple firmware updates."
It will say "Reboot via menu to complete installation." Do as it says and choose "Reboot system now" from the menu.
Now the first radio baseband update will be installed. Don't touch anything. The phone will reboot on its own, and you'll wind up back at the recovery menu.
Choose "Flash zip from sdcard," select the second OTA update, OTA_Supersonic_1.47.651.1-1.32-651.6_rootsafe.zip, and follow the prompts to flash it.
You will now be updated to 1.47.651.1. This one takes a while. Let it do its thing.
When it's finished flashing, it will tell you to reboot. Do as it says and choose "Reboot system now" from the menu.
Now the second radio baseband update and the WiMAX update will be installed. This takes a long time and doesn't display any progress on the screen, just an icon with a green circle of arrows. Don't touch it. It will reboot on its own.
After the reboot, you'll see some things you haven't seen by any other update method, including a barber pole progress bar and a dialog box that says "Checking for firmware update, please wait." (It shouldn't find one.)
When the home screen comes back up, you'll get a message box telling you "Your phone has been updated successfully to version 1.47.651.1."
You still have root and should have working WiMAX.
You can delete the three files off your SD card if you wish.
If your 4G keeps scanning but never connects, you might be helped by this post.

I'll be a guinea pig and try this out soon as my phone is done charging.
Quick question, though. Have you done this yet yourself? If you have, are you able to write to /system outside of recovery after flashing everything?
This is interesting and certainly worth watching.
So...after this procedure we are basically left with a stock (1.47xxxx) ROM?
trying this as soon the files finish downloading!!

The contents of your /system will be exactly as though you had never heard of xda-developers, with these exceptions:
/system/xbin/su is added
/system/bin/su (a symlink to /system/xbin/su) is added
/system/app/Superuser.apk is added
Everything else is identical to stock, and in fact, future OTA updates would apply without complaining (and rob you of your root, so always decline them!).
Pardon my ignorance, but I didn't see it mentioned, will this bypass the "mainver" check that prevents me from reflashing the original PC36IMG.ZIP?
Thanks for you effort!

I actually did this process twice, back to back. So yes, I was able to flash the PC36IMG.zip linked in the OP directly over the latest 1.47.651.1 with the latest radio. Nothing complained of a MainVer.
Dude...if this works...I'm going to hunt you down and kiss you. Or at least buy you a six-pack!! I'm dead in the water right now, I can boot into the hboot menu, or fastboot, but nothing else. Going to try right now!

Is NAND unlocked?
Assuming yes..... then we would still need to stick with ROM's that are based on the 1.47xx code correct?
The radio/wimax debacle would stick from this point forward?
Thanks!
Edit: Nevermind the NAND question. I re-read the OP and see that it is. Just install Clockwork and rock and roll...

Unless the ROM you're going to install comes with its own radio+WiMAX images (and you're confident that it actually installs them correctly), you would want to stick with ROMs that are based on the 1.47.651.1 system, yes.
Damnit...no dice for me. Just got to the second checking PC36IMG.zip stage and then went back to hboot menu. Thank you for at least giving me a shred of hope for a second.

What version of HBOOT are you running? (It will say at the top of the HBOOT screen.)
Have you tried going into FASTBOOT and flashing the mtd-eng.img to the misc partition?
If you have fastboot access, you can flash any image you want to any partition. You could even flash the system and userdata partitions to get yourself back into a working state. Try unzipping the PC36IMG.zip on your computer and using the fastboot utility to flash the system.img to the system partition and the userdata.img to the userdata partition.

*shrug* Really no credit is due to me. These files are almost straight from HTC. The only change I made to the OTAs was to add one line so they don't blow away the setuid-root permissions on /system/xbin/su.

*** You must be running the 1.6 OTA in order to flash use the SPL (OFFICIAL) section. Otherwise look to the DOWNGRADE TO DONUT or SPL (WORKAROUND) section. ***
SPL (OFFICIAL):
1. Copy this SPL to your sdcard and rename it update.zip
2. Reboot recovery, power off phone, then: home + power, press home + power again to access the menu.
3. Select apply sdcard:update.zip
4. Once finished, let android reboot.
5. Delete the old update.zip and copy the Froyo OTA to your sdcard and rename it update.zip.
6. Reboot recovery, power off phone, then: home + power, press home + power again to access the menu.
7. Select apply sdcard:update.zip
8. Once finished, let android reboot.
9. Delete the old update.zip and copy the Market OTA fix to your sdcard and rename it update.zip.
10. Reboot recovery, power off phone, then: home + power.
11. Once finished, let android reboot.
12. Root here.
DOWNGRADE TO DONUT OTA:
* Make sure to have an engineering (s-OFF) SPL installed. If you don't, use the SPL (WORKAROUND) section to flash clockwork recovery and flash the engineering SPL, then start back here.
1. Download the original COC10 build of Cupcake and the 1.6 OTA and rename the 1.6 update to update.zip.
2. Make sure to have the adb binary on your computer, you can grab it from the SDK under the /tools folder. Grab fastboot here.
3. Copy SAPPIMG.nbh to your sdcard.
4. Boot to fastboot mode, power off phone, then: back + power
5. Select hboot mode, blanking, but I believe it is Volume up, the SPL will scan the sdcard and ask to apply SAPPIMG.nbh, enter <yes> by pressing the trackball.
6. Let it install, and boot to Android. *** DO NOT POWER OFF PHONE OR YOU'LL BE SORRY!! ***
7. Copy update.zip to your sdcard.
8. Power off the phone and enter recovery: home + power, press home + power again to access the menu.
9. Select: apply sdcard:update.zip
10. Congrats, you are now ready to apply the STOCK (OFFICIAL) update.
SPL WORKAROUND (OFFICIAL):
This is assuming you are running stock 1.6:
1. Download Univeral Androot and install it. Once installed, run it and root. Also, download and install busybox from the market. Open busybox and install the 1.18.0git version.
2. Download cm 4.2.15.1 and extract flash_image from /system/bin/
a. This stand alone flash_image may work also.
b. Some users have reported that after rooting, using ROM Manager to flash clockwork recovery has worked, I was never able to get a 100% workable flash on stock, so use at your own risk.
3. Download this SAPPIMG.zip *** DON"T FLASH, DON"T ASK TO FLASH!!! ***
4. Download clockwork recovery from here and rename it recovery.img.
5. Download this engineering SPL and rename it spl.zip.
6. Download Froyo OTA. Rename to update.zip.
7. Extract hboot_7201A_1.33.0013G_091021.nb0 from SAPPIMG.zip.
8. Make sure to have the adb binary on your computer, you can grab it from the SDK under the /tools folder. Grab fastboot here.
9. Enable USB Debugging: Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging
10. Copy these files to your /sdcard/
a. flash_image
b. recovery.img
c. spl.zip
d. update.zip
11. Now it's time for adb.
Code:
adb shell
su
cp /sdcard/flash_image /cache/
chmod 755 /cache/flash_image
cd /cache
./flash_image /sdcard/recovery.img
12. exit adb, *nix: ctrl + d, Windows: exit, press enter
13. adb reboot recovery
14. You're in clockwork recovery now: Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> spl.zip
15. You're phone will reboot twice, once done, power off your phone.
16. Press and hold: back + power, this will drop you in fastboot mode with 1.33.2005 and s-OFF.
17. Now we need to flash the new SPL:
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot_7201A_1.33.0013G_091021.nb0
18. It should say OKAY, power off the phone.
19. Power on the phone and enter recovery: home + power
20. It will probably be the stock recovery again, press: home + power when in recovery with the exclamation mark. Select: apply sdcard:update.zip
21. Let it finish and reboot. Welcome to froyo!

You should also explain how to extract the update zip from their phone. I believe it's stored in /system/etc. It'll be something like this
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/etc
ls -a
the ls -a command will show you everything in that directory and it most likely won't be called update.zip. it'll have some crazy unneccesarily long name. But you'll know it when you see it. Also don't apply it obviously until you extract it.I wouldn't suggest applying it at all it'll take all of five minutes to add superuser and busybox to it
It is going to be 2 parts. One about 5-10 to download and the other an hour. Will be 2 fer. Needs both lol.

It would more than likely be downloaded to /cache.

go get the phone and upload a nandroid or something
A couple people on twitter (@daintyyardie @sleepyeyes11) are posting that they have received the update, however they are saying that Market is missing for some reason. I seriously hope this does not delay the update for the rest of us, I can deal without having market in the meantime.

my theory: the update is rumored to be in two parts.
1st part is rom
2nd is gapps
person did something to mess up the 2nd update.
Well both are saying that they are missing market. I doubt both of them messed up the same update. Plus the first update is the smaller one which would be the Gapps, probably only around 17 MBs or so, the second would likely be ~90 MBs for the actual update?
Hiya!
So, I am no android beginner, but to me there seems to be a continual branching off & fragmentation (and obsolescence) in tutorials, howto's etc etc.
This is what I have: UK T-mobile G1, running Android 1.6, build DRC92
This is what I want: UK T-mobile G1, running Android 2.2 or higher
This is what irritates me: 1001 different tutorials, each of which (wrongly) *assume* you know what you are doing with this particular handset
I know what I am doing with ZTE, and Android OS in general, but I want to get this CLEAR, as clear as crystal, and I want to do it by following a SIMPLE, non-ambiguous, non-assuming tutorial. That SHOULD be simple, but it seems not.
I need to upgrade "SPL" and "RADIO". I need this explaining please, in as much detail as you can, if you don't mind?
I am sorry to sound demanding, but this whole process is a minefield of conflicting opinions, geek ego battles and preferences... and ALL I wanna do is upgrade!
Please, any help?
PLEASE: I ask that you don't just simply link me to other tutorials, as I am confused about how to do this, and that will just set me back to square one again. If you are able to spare a few minutes to explain what to do, I would be most grateful.
Thank you!
It is hard not to link you to the instruction that is already there. But I do understand your frustration. When I first started I had the same (similar problem) and end up following one of the instruction. FYI, the only links I posted is the recommended Froyo ROM. It has Android 2.2.1.
Simply put, here is from Instruction I have when I first rooted my G1:
Disclaimer:
WARNING: I am not responsible if you did something to brick your phone.
Disclaimer:
I FOUND THIS TO BE THE EASIEST METHOD OF ROOTING A G1 AND INSTALLING A STABLE BUILD OF FROYO.

**Please make sure your phone is completely charged before doing this**
**I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. Do this at your own risk**
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was pretty worried about bricking my phone, but it is almost impossible if you do this step by step and correctly. Just make sure to follow the steps!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prerequisites:
**ALL DATA/APPLICATIONS WILL BE REMOVED FROM YOUR PHONE AND IT WILL BE RETURNED TO FACTORY SETTINGS AFTER THE FOLLOWING STEPS. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SYNC SET UP FOR YOUR DATA SO THAT YOU CAN RECOVER YOUR CONTACTS!** (TO SYNC GO TO SETTING > DATA SYNChronization > make sure AUTO SYNC is checked as well as contacts calendar and gmail)
Here is what you will need:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I) Formatting the SD Card and Downgrading to RC29(YOU WILL DELETE EVERYTHING OFF YOUR SD CARD!)
1. Plug your USB cable into your computer and then plug your phone in.
2. Mount your SD card by sliding down the notification bar and selecting mount.
3. Go to My Computer and access your SD card.
4. BACKUP ANY FILES THAT YOU WANT ONTO YOUR COMPUTER. VERY IMPORTANT!
5. Go back to my computer and right click on the drive that is your sd card. Click format. Choose FAT32 from the drop down and hit the format button. This removes all data from your memory card.
6. Once the format is complete: drag and drop "DREAIMG.nbh & Update.zip files that you downloaded into the sd card. (DO NOT create a folder or anything, just put it right in the SD card)
7. Unmount your phone by going through the notification bar and then unplug your phone Turn your phone off. from your computer.
8. Press and hold the camera+end key until until you see a screen with colored bars, then let go. This is the bootloader. The screen will turn gray with blue writing on it.
9. Hit the end key to start the update. DON'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL THIS IS DONE!
10. Once it is finished it press the trackball to reboot. (If it goes back the the colored bar screen and doesn't reboot try holding the home+menu+end key, if this doesn't work, just remove the batter and put it back in and turn the phone on)
11. Once the phone is on, just turn it back off.
12. Now press the Home+End Key until you see a triangle with an exclamation point in it (this is recovery mode). Once you see this let go of the buttons.
13. Open the keyboard and press ALT and L, and then Press ALT and S. Now wait until the phone reboots (it will do this automatically once the update is applied) (Don't worry if you see picture of a box and a g1 or a chip with an arrow)
14. Once the phone reboots, go ahead and and go through the welcome guide and get to the home screen.
II) Flashing a Recovery Image
1. Now with your phone at the home screen, go to settings>applications> an turn on unknown sources.
2. Now go to settings>SD card and Phone Storage>Unmount SD Card

9. Once installed click open (it will be on bottom left of screen)

11. Once it says "backup complete" open the keyboard and type the following: /sdcard/recovery.img

11. Scroll down and select "Flash .zip from SDcard"
12. Select the G1 Radio file (named OTA Radio or something like that) and hit the Home key to confirm. DO NOT SELECT ANY OTHER FILE, THE RADIO MUST BE DONE FIRST.
13. Once the Radio Flash is complete Press Home+Back to reboot the phone. It will then say "writing radio image" and then reboot back into recover mode (this will take some time)
14. Once back into recovery mode, scroll and select "Flash zip from SDcard" again.

My build is DRC92, and from what I gather, I need a "gold card" (impossible to find somewhere to generate the image!)
I give up.
Have you try this software to create Goldcard?

Well first of all this isn't Q&A this is a development section, second look for the guide in the dev section, its easy to follow and not complicated at all, download a few files, blah blah blah your done. Took me 5 minutes.
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using XDA App
i won`t go down to rc29. on market is an application named universal androot which works on htc dream ( 1.5 and higher ). this will root your phone but until you`ll restart the phone, you`ll have to flash recovery image ( amon-ra-1.7.0 ). after you restart your phone and still have root privilegies, that`s a good moment to change SPL. ezTerry`s tutorial i think is the best there is.
flash another rom. i am using now Nameless jedi`s rom maybe because i find it the best or just because i`m a star wars fan
i did not covered it all in this post ( i`m pretty sure ) so if your stuck in there somewhere ( android related ) you can IM me anytime. maybe we`ll even try a live installfest
p.s. the dreaimg.nbh is a "good to have" file. although i hope you`ll never use it.
