Hey whatup guys.
Okay - so I got the G from my brother who had it rooted.
Here's what I know:
- JF v. 1.42
- RC 33
- Fade to blue custom theme
Now, my question is (I know it's probably been asked before, but I just can't seem to find the right topic) what would I have to do to upgrade from jf1.42 to the latest CupCake build, whether that be the "rooted" version or the "dev" version (if that makes any sense). Preferibly, the one that is soon to be OTA - as I was reading that the SDK's are released for Developers.
I'm kinda n00bish at this, so I'm not really sure of the differences between JF and ADP, so please bear with me.
Again, I want to try out the cupcake build, (I think 1.5?) but not sure how to go about doing that with my current settings.
Also, I've been reading and speculating about a few different things. Could someone explain these to me?
- Haykuro's version?
- ADP vs JF
- "Dude" or something
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
ADP is basically the dev version of the OS, doesnt include IM and all that...
JF has a modded version of the official adp1.5 same with haykuro and dude.
to upgrade to whichever build just download their buildand rename it to update.zip and blah blah blah, youll probably have to o a wipe though.

Keatonreckard,
Thanks for the response.
I think I understand it now, bu just wish to confirm:
Downloading and flashing to the new JF Version would allow me to "get" Cupcake?
Any benefits of using something else, like Haykuro or dude?

Hey all, Ill only ask this once, (Since after this time, Ill know for future updates and be on the right path =) )since this G1 is so new dev wise, its getting confusing when im studying everything all at once and only updated rooted once to the custom RC30. I saw the newer update is RC33, now when I apply that, is it required EACH TIME to wipe the device? Im asking cause it would be a pain to reinstall each app I had installed there to begin with. I know I wiped the 1st time I rooted and updated. So just wanted to check.
Also whats the new additions in these updates? Any good changelogs out there? I kinda like keeping the Tmobile US stuff on mine, but root access is awesome. =)
Thanks for any update tips out there atm.
Edit, My G1 is still on Firmware 1.1 is that a seperate update or how is everyone updating that with the custom stuff? Thanks. (And do I need that FW update before going RC33?)
Nope, you won't lose anything when you upgrade the firmware normally. Going from JF RC30 to JF RC33 should be fine
Check the stickied topic on the top of the forum to find out more:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475381
The changelog is somewhere in there.
Thank you. =) I didnt read that one since it was talking about for UK users. Heh. Least it explained things a lil more. =DDD
What about the firmware? Seems Ill have to do the new radio too, but wondering.. is that radio one for US too or only uk? Since its in a UK thread. =/
Nah, it's not a UK topic. He just modifies the title when he adds something new. The radio should be for the US version. Just download the radio and JF RC33 and throw them on your microSD (one at a time obviously, named update.zip).
Firmware 1.1 is just like the base firmware number, you can ignore that. Firmware 1.5 (I think) is cupcake, so you get the idea.
Ok so the firmware is nothing major atm to update or would you still upset it? I havent looked into cupcake yet.
No, completely ignore the firmware number, the only numbers you want to look at are RC30, 33, etc...
Ok this is odd. I updated fine to RC33, however when I try to get back in recovery mode to apply the radio rom, it wont go into the recovery mode. It just keeps rebooting to the G1 screen when im holding the home button. Anyone seen that before or how to get back into the recovery mode?
Anyone have any ideas?
I'm a total noob! so don't flame me!
I just rooted my phone the other night, following the gizmodo site instructions carefully to obtain root and the multi touch function (had no sweats and no troubles! ).
The version was JF1.41, my question is that if i update to JF1.42 will i still have the features that JF1.41 offer? and i just downloaded the JF updater from the market and wondering if anyone can tell me if that ish is legit or do i have to update it to JF1.42 manually?
THANKS GUYS!! Any help would be greatly appreciated
as long as you don't wipe when you apply the upgrade then you should keep everything. I'm not sure what differences there are between 1.41 and 1.42 though, there's probably a thread stickyied at the top detailing them
Is it JF 1.41 without RC33? In that case, you would be getting new features in JF1.42.

Hi,
I recently purchased a dev phone and it came with adp 1.0. I had a few questions I was hoping someone could clear for me.
1. There is an adp 1.1 official release that I can upgrade to, what is the equivalent version of the jf series? (1.43?)
2. If I wanted to update my phone (adp 1.0) to the latest in the jf series, would I have to update to adp 1.1 and then update to the jf series? Or is there a way I can do it directly?
3. What are the radio updates and do I have to install them to upgrade to adp 1.1/jf v1.42/v1.43?
4. Any links that could point me in the right direction to upgrading from adp 1.0?
Sorry if these questions have been repeated, am new to this and looking for a little direction.
Thanks in advance, any help will be greatly appreciated
All your questions are answered in the initial post here.
Hi uberingram,
Thanks, I did read through that, however was still not very clear on a few things. If you could just correct me in case I'm wrong. This is my understanding from that post.
My understanding
1. JFv1.43 Holiday is what I should be installing since it is based on ADP 1.1h and is the latest in the series
3. Since I am currently on ADP1.0, if I want to jump to JFV1.43 Holiday directly I will have to perform a wipe (since I am not going to install JFv1.31 and then upgrade)
4. To install it, I need to follow the general sequence of saving the zip file to sdcard named update.zip, boot into recovery mode, and press alt+s. Then I need to do a wipe (alt+w)
Please correct me if any of my above steps are wrong (just want to make sure before I go through with any of this).
My only question now is, should I apply the radio update (http://jf.odiness.com/RC33/RC33radio_update_testkeys.zip), and if so, is there a particular sequence in which to install it? As in radio first and then JFv1.43 or JFv1.43 first and then radio?
Thanks

I would. A lot of us that ran JF1.43ADPh used the RC33 radio.

Technically it doesn't matter but I always did it as the last step once I knew that the new build stuck and was working properly.
Edited for proper grammar.
Thanks a lot uberingram. This really helped me out. Am going to try this out now.
On an unrelated note, what I've understood is that SPL's, Radio Updates and builds are all independent of each other and can be installed in any combinations?

Yes but there are a few exceptions to that statement.
- it's advised for non rooted phones (OEM RC builds) to downgrade to RC29, install the test keys (not necessary for you) and do the SPL first.
- Some dev's here who build ROM's package radio updates with their updates. JF was nice enough to separate the radio from his builds so if you're a big ROM switcher you're not constantly flashing the radio.
But for the most part, yes, they are independent of each other.
Thanks a lot uberingram. You've helped me clarify a lot of my doubts
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
hi, this is my first post on xda-developer and i need some help
my g1 currently does not have a data plan (i use wifi) and running RC 33.
since rooting requires the phone to be downgraded into stock RC 29 this require activation g1 again and i cant do that since i dont have a data plan.
is there a way i can still root without reactivating my phone (i dont care about a wipe just i cant activate it again)
thanks
any of the builds based off the ADP release should let you skip registration... a feature of the ADP from the start
Also use the info here (STICKY AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE.....) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452316 for when you first flash to rc29
so what builds are based off the adp relase sorry im not very good with these kinds of things and i have a t-mobile g1 would an adp build work for mine too?
and dont i need root first to get these builds?
thanks
all of the current cupcake mods are built off ADP... it says so in their title..... try at least looking before asking.....
yes once it is rooted your phone will take ADP firmware or any version of RC firmware...

Doesn't skipping registration make the phone unstable?
Can we use the link you posted for ADP 1.5 registration?
