Clarification

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.

Root User on RC33 Firmware1.1

I have by my G1 in Austria at T-Mobile. I´m not shure about RC33 but i have Firmware1.1 BuildNumber123099 and KernelVersion2.6.15-01843-gfea26b0 [email protected] #6!
Now i need help for going Root User. I did all things with Terminal Emulator and Telnet.apk I Have install the Android SDK with emulator and adb. and this all for only one - being a root user on my G1 and nothing runs!!!! I have allso a HTC Kaiser and i flash him with soooo much roms without problems and with big help from xda-developers!
Now i know only here i can find a help for my problem!
Sorry for my english but i am from austria and writing in english is very hard for my!!!
I Think im not the first or the last one with this problem! And all who by the G1 at 2009 have these Firmware. So we have to find a way!!!!! PLEASE.
THX for searching
DirtyJ

I come also from Austria/Carinthia and I ordered my G1 these days. I also hope that we will one day be able to root our German G1 with Firmware 1.1. But the only thing we can do is wait and offer our help to people, who know more of the matter. So lets drink tea and wait.
By the way, where from Austria do you come???

I´m from Salzburgand i dont know "Carinthia" The Problem with the new G1 is that T-Mobile will close the backdoor with the root user and so she installed this new Firmware. I´m so angry because i like the RC30 on my G1 also for wlanrouter on my G1. So i hope we find anyone who can help us!

I'm not sure if the instructions found at the link below, work for downgrading from RC33
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
They worked for downgrading from RC8 / RC30 to get RC29 and root access.
Out of interest if you use those instructions with RC33 please post your results so others know if it is possible.

I don't get it.. 'root' was patched out RC-30 (ie telnet hack fixed), so why is RC33 different ? I doubt they fixed the bootloader.

I assume the bootloader for RC33 is untouched hence the root exploit via downgrading should work and dirtyjunkie will get the root access he/she requires.

Carinthia is Englisch for Kärnten. I think everyone knows Kärnten, because of our Landeshauptmann Jörg Haider, who died in a car accident.

Thanks for the info andonnguyen, this is good news as it looks as if google/tmobile are not actively trying to prevent people getting root using the downgrade method.

Has any german/austrian user tested the downgrade from RC33 to RC29? It would be great to hear if it worked.
Do I have to wipe it after that?
Can't test it yet, because I have an android dev phone

From what i heard there should be a way to downgrade form this Build (is this Build the same as RC33?) and maybe JF already guided some guy through the entire process... at least i think i heard so
i'd also be happy to try this, but i could not find a Tutorial or anything else yet... I'm also an Austrian User with FW 1.1 and really d'like to get root access

here is a tutorial for downgrading:
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Root_For_RC30

Right, but this tutorial is for downgrading the rc30 and not this "special" european build 123099

European G1 has build 123099, RC33 is 126986.

ok, didn't know that... thanx!

If you mean, if you have the oi language in german or english afterwards: of course it's english after downgrading and aupgrading. You put on english firmware with that method.
If you mean, if the downgrade works with your german build, then try it an tell us. I don'T think, anything severe could happen either it works or it doesn't.

possible brikc plz help

ok so i had jf 1,4 with radio rc33 and i tried to put a theme on it and when i rebooted all i am getting is a tmobile g1 start up screen i was trying to put buuf theme on rc33..plz help asap..

you need to install JFv1.42_RC33 LITE for buuf t work

ok i didnt kno that..but what do i do about my phone not starting up?? still just stuck on tmobile g1 start screen..im freaking out right now plz help

just re-install the jf LITE version, if it doesnt work do a wipe and try again, that happens very often dont get scared

you mean you dont have a card reader? you have to find a way to put the file in the card to re-flash it, or just do a wipe ALT+W and press home+back to reboot, that way you are bypassing the theme, do not install the theme again unless you have the LITE version

just did wipe and still not booting past tmo g1 screen...and no i dont have a card reader...and trust me i wont be putting any more themes on with out reading more in depth

sorry to tell you but you gonna have to get a card reader or another phone to load the jfv1.42_RC33 or RC30 (or wherever file you had before) and re-flash it
EDIT: wait a min... do you have ADP ?

You can either use flashboot (any image will do really) or try to find the culprit with adp (if you can get in).

ok yea whats flashboot and what do u mean by find the culprit with adp and if u can get in...not following u
only thing im able to do as of right now is get to jfs bootscreen(is thats what its called)

OMG! Buuf not even support ADP how did you load it with out reading before?

IDK...guess im not the brightest crayon in the box...i actually clicked the wrong dl on media share ment to dl rusty metal..or something along them lines and assumed buuf would work...am i screwed?

ok u ned zum flashbut imgs try http://andblogs.net/images/snapshots/ kk? then u ned 2 flesh it uzing dis mithod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462512 omg XD XD dunt wory dat itz cupcake ur just truing to gt access 4 now
*sigh*

not your not, there is a way to fix it, but I cant help you on that, perhaps somebody else

ok but i cant mount my sd doom how will i put anytihng??

as I said, you are going to need a card reader or another phone where you can load the file

so as long as i can get a card reader and re dump jf 1.46 on it illbe fine?? and just re do the firm ware..i just lost all my contacts apps ring tones and such right?? im ok with loseing that crap as long as i can get my baby (g1) back up and running...

yeah, you'll be ok by doing that,

ok well thank you for helping as much as u did...even thou im still fraking out not gonna lie. but thanks. and mods please keep this thread up for the next few days as i should correct this problem today hopefully. but incase i need to consult the g1 jedi masters i already have an open thread to do so ...and again thanks guys...ill be sure to stop assumeing and make sure i read b4 i dl but in my defense dl was described to work with jf 1.46 rc33(didnt have lite listed)

1.42.
(was annoying me)

Issues going from UK JF-RC9 to JF-RC33

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 been freaking out for the past 3 days, i installed root on my phone b4 then i installed the cupcake jf 1.5 to my phone, then i installed rc29 trying to go back to rc30 then to upgrade using the ota update so it wouldnt be buggy like jf 1.5... but now im stock at rc29 and i really dont know what to do i dont know if my got removed or if i can go back to rc30 or rc33, can someone help plz?? i really tried looking for a lot of answer but i dont understand anything at all anymore.
here it what it says on my build number :
killa-user 1.0 tc4-rc29 115247
ota-rel-keys,release-keys
with the build number can i find out what im doing wrong ?? all i want is to go back to rc33 or cupcake again plz help!!

Dude relax. Tmobile should automatically send you an update that will upgrade you to Rc33.

You sure? I'm on rc29 now and its been for the past 3 days.. idk what to do I only wish I had my rc33 back lol

First off, why would you want to go back to the $#!t stock phone firmware?
But yeah, if you unrooted your phone successfully, just wait for T-Mo to send you an update. If nothing happens in the next two years, follow these instructions:
