Flashing from JF RC33, to JF RC9 - G1 Android Development

i know theres already a thread about this, but after reading the entire thread, im still confused, and i dun wanna risk my G1 until i get everything clear.
so in order to flash from US Rom to UK Rom,
do i need to downgrade to RC29 then flash RC9, or i can directly flash RC9 onto RC33? (my G1 is already rooted)
Thanks a million

Your fine to go from RC33 to RC9, just do a wipe first:-
Sync all data on your phone and backup apps (use astro)
Turn off phone
Hold down home + power to start phone
When the phone has booted into recovery mode
press ctrl + w
let the phone wipe itself
press home + back to reboot
flash phone with RC8
R

thanks soo much....just flashed RC9 and everything seems to be going smoothly...

No problem glad u got it sorted

I want to make my g1 pure virgin

Hi, I'm a UK g1 user
I had rooted my g1 and installed JFv1.41 then I tried app off sdcard with calss4 8g
but somehow i screwed up ,
app wasnt in system/sd/app but if i take out the sdcard and tried to reboot
it wont boot (stop at G1 logo) thus i've just given up and reflashed everything
by putting rc7 to my sdcard and camera+home buttons ,
fortunately it booted without
the sd card and came back to rc7
i thought it would be unrooted but its stil rooted
how can i make it back to pure virgin g1 then i want to make it clean root JFv1.41
if you just reflash to RC8, it shouldn't matter if you are rooted in RC7 or not... the outcome will be the same.
that's not the source of your problem. just go to RC8 and it will be "clean" and be careful if you mess with sdcard apps.

From JF 1.42 RC33 to JF 1.5 [mission imposible]

Hi!
I have JF 1.42 RC 33 with root enabled on my G1 from polish network Era.
Then I've decided to switch to JF 1.5 ADP, so first I've installed radio update from htc web page and after this i 've installed 1.5. After succesfull instalation my phone restarts after few minutes and loops on android logo. It is immposible to switch it off. I can only take off battery. Only way to use it once again is to go to recovery mode, then wipe it, and install JF 1.5 one more time. But after this my phone once again is working till first reboot. I've tryied JF 1.5, the Dudes and Hayakuro updatesl but it is same situation. Reboot and loop on android logo.
Now I have JF 1.43 RC9 and new radio 2.22. I've also tryied to install one more time radio update and JF 1.5 update, but it doesn't help. What elsa I can do?
Also I have newest version on Hard SPL. But I did't changed it since I've rooted phone.

cant update to cupcake after DREAIMG, help

first and foremost am sorry for posting this here, am giving away my phone so thought i would unroot it and leave it with factory firware. i flashed the dreaimg just fine but when i do the update.zip and the phone reboots twice, it stays on the g1 screen. i tried differed dreaimg and updates like - signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip and the one found in theunlokr, but it still stays on the g1 screen. If i dont flash the update i can boot into the rc29 firware just fine, thanks in advance.
I was using r radio 2_22_23_02, spl 1.33.2005, superE 1.0.3
after DREAIMG.nbh radio: 1.22.12.19, spl: 0.95.0000
after update.zip radio: 2.22.19.26I spl: 0.95.0000
still trying to figure this out...
RC29 - RC33 - ok
RC33 - CupCake - Freeze @ G1 screen....
any help is apreciated.
I left my phone alone for a few hours with RC33 to get the 1.5 update OTA, got it but phone froze @ g1 screen again... any info on this? anything else i can do? thanks.

Look down in the comments section about losing root. Just browsing through the forums and came across you post...not sure if this is the exact solution you need given your situation but I hope it helps.
well what i was trying to do is to unroot the phone, but after so many tests the phone will always stop at the G1 screen. I managed to get root back from RC29 and get back to superE. But not sure whats wrong with my phone, i noticed that some of the roms i flash will also stop at the G1 screen..... any idea whats the problem?
so far i've only tested 2 froyo roms and 3 donut.
superfly 1.3 - stop at boot
biffmod v6 - working
super D 1.9.3wesgarner - stop at g1 screen
super D 1.11 - working
superfast 1.3.3 - stop at g1 screen
i started noticing some roms will work and some would at g1 screen even before i tried to unroot my phone. I flashed succesfuly all donut roms mentioned before this problem started.
my phone: T-Mobile G1
radio : 2.22.23.02
spl : 1.33.2005
recovery : amon-ra- 1.7.0
my wipe method is, in recovery wipe all 5 > repair ext > fastboot erase system -w
not sure if am doing something wrong or why my phone not loading certain roms, please help.

Very Weird Issue with my Sensation is there a self test service mode?

Im currently in the middle of uploading a video to youtube to try and show the issue but its like my phone is possessed, i actually bought the phone from a recycle place so I have a 60 days warranty with the phone but I was wondering is there a diagnostic or service mode I can get into on the handset to see if any faults are found
One thing is I thought I was getting an Orange handset which I would have thought would have had some branding on but it didnt and it also didnt have any orange bloatware on but not sure if they do or not on Orange UK handsets? even though i've supercid would it matter if it wasnt an Orange one that I used the orange firmware for 3.32?
It seemed fine when it arrived yesterday on 2.3.4 GB rom but since changing to ICS nothing but bother
Link isnt live yet showing about 12 mins to go at 21:49 UK Time

Had this problem with Darkforest 6.0.0 and also ARHD 6.5.1 and currently virtuous s4x b3 which has been the worst of the lot and the one in the video
Ok so I flashed back 1.17 firmware and restored a back up of my GB 2.3.4 rom and its working perfectly so my guess is my phone for some reason doesnt like firmware 3.32? which means im going to be pretty much stuck on GB?
Hey, it looks like a sense 4 rom that is running in the video? All those roms are ported from another device.. I'd recommend to try stock ICS with the new firmware, see if that works any better than the ported roms
Ive tried 2 3.6 roms too and they did the same, used the newest firmware

In your first post you were looking for a diagnostic mode?

Sorry yeah i am and thanks, just not sure which tests i should be looking at, anyway im now on virtuous_inquisition v4.0.0 but using firmware 3.24 its had one little hissy fit which seems to have gone away when i restarted, also when it starts acting usual screen of and on seems to sort it, its just odd it works perfectly in GB which makes me think its software and not hardware issues?
Just to confirm im doing everything right, was it ok to jump from firmware 1.17 on GB straight to 3.32 for ICS with 3.6?
Method im doing
flash firmware in hboot, pull battery delete the PG58IMG file, put battery back in boot into recovery, full wipe in ext4, then run the superwipe script and then install rom, everything seems to go ok until I begin having the issues as shown above in the video clip, I know that was a sense 4 rom but its done the same in 3 sense 3.6 roms now
Did you tried to flash a stock kernel? Not OC'ed? My bet if every ROM does the same, that there is an issue with the hardware.

Hi
I havent as yet, however when I first had problems on darkforest I did try with the 1.2ghz option during flash.
Any recommendations on which to try? So far it seems on on v inquisition v4
Seems to have been ok then this morning I put the phone on charge as it was about 20% remaining, left it charging went back 30mins later or so to check it and it wouldnt wake, not sure if this is a common issue or if its related to the previous problems ive been having?
Ive requested a return from the place I bought it so will see, ill have to make sure I can get it back to how it was, fortunately I have a backup, but ill have to read up on the s-on procedure aswell as getting rid of 4ext
gawd this is doing my nut in, just flashed Android Revolution 6.5.1 using the stock 1.2ghz kernal doing the same so I just have no idea now, going to put firmware 1.7 back on and do a nandroid recovery and see how that goes for the next few days, just wondering if anywhere in the rooting + S-off, unlocking or supercid somethings gone wrong that I didnt see, but afaik it all went fine
format sd card, place only the files you will need.. i.e. firmware and your choice of rom.. reboot phone, flash this firmware "Firmware from 3.24.401.1 & 3.25.401.101 RUU" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618.. after you flash the firmware, remove the sdcard while the phone is still on, reboot into recovery. Once in recovery, put the sdcard back in, then flash whatever rom you wish to use, just make sure that it supports the firmware, after flashing the rom, remove the sdcard again and reboot phone.. once the phone is booted, turn on usb drive and remove the firmware that's on the sdcard and see how things go.. if things are still messed up, then go for an exchange as at that point, it may be hardware related...
I don't think it has anything to do with superCID or s-off as I can see that you're able to flash any rom to the device.. same with s-off...

Thanks, ill give it ago! the only bit is where yousay after flashing firmware remove sdcard whilst on, then reboot into recovery. The only option I get is to reboot no option to reboot into recovery?
anyway
flashed insertcoin 5.1.4 so will see
in order to boot into recovery after flashing the firmware, power off the phone, yank the battery and sdcard, then put the battery back in and power on with the usual power down + power button with the sdcard still out. once in recovery, you will notice that recovery counts down until the sdcard is back in so slip the sdcard back in, give it a sec, then choose the zip file you're going to flash.. flash the rom, remove sdcard and boot into rom.. slip the sdcard back in one final time.. once booted, go into the sdcard and remove the firmware so that it doesn't keep wanting to update everytime you reboot...reboot once more to make sure all is setup and see how it goes.. I'm sure there are easier ways of doing this, but this is one method I've tried and all worked fine... hope this helped..

Still the same, flashed back to 1.17 and did nandroid recovery and it works perfectly in GB oh well, the closest Ive had it working on ics was with Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.0. The problem im going to have returning the handset is that it works perfectly as it was sold to me and if I start going on about installing ics roms etc they are likely to refuse a return.
yay!!! think ive cracked it, well not me but at least I think what ive found what the problem was
Spotted this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542192
Thought what the hell, and long story short its worked, not a single issue like before, which leaves me to believe that for whatever reason 4ext recovery wasnt working correctly when flashing firmwares on my phone as when I used it to restore my original backup it worked fine. Installed the rom above that was packaged as a PG58IMG.zip file and it worked great, might try and reinstall clockworkmod and see if that helps as I never actually used it
Fingers crossed its now sorted but so far so good, not a single issue after installing all my apps again
