hey guys I have a rooted g1 running JFv1.42 RC33 (US) but I was wondering it its possible to just flash the ADP image and get an Android Developer phone. Is it possible? or is it more complicated than that? thx in advance for any tips/advice =]
yes, jus download 1.5 rename it update.zip and update your phone. This thread prob gonna be deleted this is mentioned several times

I didn't do a wipe and was fine. I DID do a Nandroid before, though.
Wipe apparently isn't always necessary but I was stuck on the 'Android' screen because i didn't do a wipe. i say do it to be safe.
Yeah a wipe isn't always a must but its highly recommended when switching to a new build.

Alright I just want to make sure I did this right:
I followed the step-by-step to rc 30 with root here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443797
It was written for JFv1.3, but its now JFv1.41
So I never installed JFv1.3, I just went straight to JFv1.41
Is there any problem with this? do I need to do a "wipe" or am I fine?
The second quesiton:
what is adp 1.0 and adp 1.1? Do I need to install that ALONG side jFv1.41 or does it overwrite jfv1.41?
Thanks for helping the new guy
Try it without wiping and it doesn't start then wipe it. No big deal. The adp is the dev phone build of android. It's missing things like AIM and MSN in the IM client but it is running a new version of android. RC30 is the T-mobile version
I went from the stock RC30 to Rc29, then to ADP1.1 without going to 1.31. I did need to do a wipe, but everything went perfectly, and my "new" phone is wonderful! I'm glad I did ADP1.1, because it allows you to bypass that annoying register thing when you first turn on the phone.
can you do adp with a normal g1 phone?
and when I went from 30 to 29 it wiped my phone, but when I went to modded 30 and to JFv1.41 there was no wipe... is that supposed to be right?

i haven't wiped the phone since i gained root with RC29
Good to know! Seems like im inthe same place, the guide says your phone gets wiped twice but mine only did once.
Now only need to know if ADP can be installed on a normal g1 I am assuming no

Yes. it can
Now the big question,
ADP 1.1
OR
JFv1.41
What are the benefits of each... I know its a braod question, so dont be afraid to keep it brief as an answer.
Thanks
If you use one of JF's images they will all be JFv1.41. the real question is RC30 or ADP1.1 or RC8.
Here is a version of JF's RC33 1.41 without the multi-touch kernal included.
This one is JF's RC33 build modified with the PRE-MT kernal (1.31). It includes all the goodies that are standard with JF's builds and was recompiled from his source. This update does include the 1.41 recovery image.
ALL CREDIT GOES TO JESUS FREKE for providing us with the source for his modified ROM's
If you are interested or do not know what JF has added to the original images check this link
Just like JF's RC33 build this does not include the radio update which can be found here(MD5:CF8714D273FB0274574D9E3831E11FDD) this will need to be flashed separately in any order. To revert the radio you WILL NEED TO FLASH BACK TO RC29 THROUGH THE DREAMIMG.NBH file that can be found here
RC33 PRE-MT Kernal (MD5:97167BFDD7957F4D95C1538410003146)
http://drop.io/qyyqvmd#
*UPDATED* RC33 PRE-MT Kernal 1.42 Recovery image, No Amazon MP3, No Stock Email, no Term Emulator (which can be downloaded from the market, the author has been making changes so I didn't want to include it)
http://drop.io/689ghtm#
(MD5:F1B80E314926C7409DDCA6C0EE107626)
Save the zip file to your sdcard named update.zip, boot into recovery mode (home + power), and then press alt+s. I must recommend that you also do a wipe in recovery mode (alt+w) before applying the update as most of the esoteric issues that arise seem to be from not wiping. This will clear all your data/settings/apps, and you will have to re-register once it boots back up.
Again THANKS JESUS FREKE
Cool thanks for this, glad to see it worked out.
Do you think I would need to do a wipe going from mt rc33 to no-mt rc33?
Doesn't seem like such a large zip is necessary.
Does the MT really alter so many files?
Hopefully there will be a mini version that does the same thing
Only the Kernal is changed so if you want you can extract the boot.img and use the flash_image tool to re-image it over your current one. JF has a thread about the flash_image tool and how to use it at this link
The reason it's so large is because its a full ROM you can flash from RC29 etc. You could probably get away with not wiping but I have to recommend it since 90% of the issues people run into doing the updates seem to end up with a wipe so why not skip the issues. Its easy so re-sync contacts and reload apps.
Hahha thanks, so then the only diff is in the boot.img? Cool.
So I could just switch boot.img's and flash whenever I want to switch between normal and MT?
Ima try it righttt now
Any chance for a ADP1.1 No Multi-Touch ROM? Please?
why would any1 one want it without the multitouch?
Because of few problems with the MT version.
I just used fastboot to flash the image nd I gotta say, touch is workin great.
I like it better this way for sure.
Im gonna wait til multitouch gets fixed up and then ill try it again.
Thers is any "problem" with the multi-touch except that devs are not making apps for its kernal. Therefore some apps may act funny.
I personally don't use the MT at all so I don't want it throught the OS. And I don't know if its in my head but the pre-MT kernal seems to give me better battery life.

Good to hear. Flashing the boot.img is really all that's needed but I wanted to make a full update just for the exercise etc since this is fairly new to me and fastboot might be more difficult for some.
Yeah It's not really a problem.
I figured it's good that both ways are on here now though.
Thanks again!
If youre already running jf rc33 do you need to do a wipe?
Ah, apparently I didn't announce mine with enough fanfare
Oh well, it is a fun exercise.
Uh, and so why would I ever want or need this flash? Dead thread. Nothing added and of no value.
But nice try. Must really like your iPhone and your paycheck...

Glad you got the issues worked out as well. not trying to be disrespectful or anything but I told people i would make up a ROM so i did and figured it might as well have some instructions in case someone needs them. I did see that you had put one up but at the time thekills was complaining about the browser so I went ahead with my version.
and it is a fun exercise
Edited:double post

Ok i flashed without wiping everything is running good. Phone is much more responsive touch wise. Everything else still works great. Thanks to you and JF

There were request from a number of people for a non multi-touch version. If your not interested simply don't use it.
And as for the other comments....lol

No worries. If you keep updating your branch in the future, you may want to be sure and change the ro.modversion in the build.prop file.
Can I (we) get a stickied walk through with file links?
My main goal would be to restore my G1 to be able to receive official OTA updates again.
I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate this. Thanks in advance!
If you did a search there is a thread for this
This post tells you how.
Very simple.
Thanks for the response. Using search I found many posts with similar instructions. What I need to know for sure was if the linked RC29 image is an official release or a tweaked version. Remember my main goal is to be able to receive OTA updates again. No one has officially confirmed receiving an OTA update after going through the downgrade steps. It's just implied that it works.
It would also be interesting to know if it goes from RC29 straight to RC33 or not.
Once again, a sticky would be nice.

Well it is simple...but if you have hard spl, and jf rc33 dont you have to push the official keys so it can work I have searched and looked at many threads. sorry about the noob question. Im sending back my phone so i want to make sure its stock
I followed the steps in the post. My G1 also had Hard SPL and was rooted with JF RC33. I didn't mess with "official keys" as I'm assuming they come with the RC29 image that was linked.
A stock G1 bought from a store receives the update wtihin 3 days so we'll see if this works.
Ok confirmed. 2 days after following the steps mentioned above I received RC33. Full stock factory reset restore with update.

Thank you, Guess ill do the same
So im just wondering are there any issues in doing this??
Im assuming that i would have to possibly update my Radio as well but im just wondering is there any downside to doing this?? im already rooted and the G1 is (currently) on a clean install of RC9 with nothing installed
so is there anything stopping me getting an RC33 image and flashing right at this second??

Good to go. Just remember to wipe your /data since you're changing the build region (Alt+W in the recovery tool).
aww sweet !! gives me something to do whilst passing time in the office
Since its JF's RC9 anyway do i need to bother regaining root or shall i just leave it as is with the recovery.img and the update.zip on the SDCard??
You already have root (JF RC9) and your target build (JF RC33) already has root, so you don't need to do anything. Just place the update.zip in the sdcard and get it on.
Followed Quoted and Done!!
Sorry for the newbish-ness,,,, mmmmm RC33,,,,, mmmmmm no change (more themes lmao)
don't forget to change your sig. I'm DLing the RC33 myself now that I know it works. BTW, which didi you go to, 1.42 or 1.43? And do 1.42 themes work with 1.43?

Im not sure about themes as its only just finished, but all is working fine, just installing some apps to keep me going till later on and then ill give themes a bash
i grabbed the 1.42 from here;
http://jf.andblogs.net/2009/02/11/jfv143/
and i also go the buildenvironment from there too,,,, just incase a custom boot image takes my fancy
Ok using Astro i've managed to install some of my apps from the SD Card and they are all working quite nicely
Additionally the Wifi Tether App is installed,, but cant check that till i get in from the office
Awesome. I just did this ti mine, and all is working on mine as well. I installed the 1.42 Rc33 aero theme as well. Looking good.
Thats how we Brits roll!! lmao
Hey i tried out the Haykuro 5.0.1Gr3 and its ok the market kinda breaks it for me. but thats not what im asking about what i would like to know is these following things:
1. If i install just the Haykuro 5.0.1Gr3 , setup my programs and settings, can i make a nandroid backup of that and flash it later?
2. If there is an update i.e 5.0.2 will a wipe be needed?
3. His builds are ports from the magic to the dream. Does this matter or its kinda like same phone just added a little more and tweaked it?
4. What will be the differences from Haykuro G/H and t-mboile/adp1 Cupcake update?( that will come who knows when)
Yes i searched but didnt find these answers.
not to be rude, but all of the answers to your questions are in the forum.
no your not rude at all sometimes people just need another set of eyes if anyone can point me to the right post for my question that would make me glad

im too lazy to point u to where the answers are (trust me there out there) so ill just answer them to my best ability
1 yes u can do a nandroid back up, the nandroidbackup tool is built in to the recovery so all you have to do is back up and restore,
2 seeing as tho 5.02 is already out i do no think it required a wipe, but if ur going from a different build ie G to H or jf33 to 5.02 then i am lmost positive u need to wipe
- you can always check if the update.zip automatically wipes, just look in the update-script and look for a line (usually near the end that says: format:data if u delete this line it will not auto wipe but ur phone might hang and u will need to pull the battery and do a wipe.
3 Dont really understand this question, does what matter? does it matter that it is a build from a different phone, No, it doesn't he cooked it so that it works with the dream
4 as of now adp1 and tmobile g1 are on firmware number 1.1 magic build and cupcake builds are build 1.5 the official update will probably have more fixes because it is being updated all the time but its likely that it wont have root access like previous firmware updates
Thanx for the answers.
