JFUpdater and 1.5 Question - G1 Android Development

Hi there, I'm a bit confused about how to use JFUpdater.. to update to JF ADP 1.5.
I currently have...
Firmware version
1.1
Baseband version
62.33.20.08H_1.22.14.11
Kernel Version
2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0
[email protected] #1
Build Number
kila-user 1.1 PLAT-RC33 126986
ota-rel-keys,release-keys
I ran JFUpdater for the new radio and 1.5 update, but both times it just ends up at a screen with a triangle exclamation mark sign on the screen and nothing happens for a long while... So I just rebooted the phone. Nothing seem to be updated after I rebooted. Is there something else I'm suppose to be doing? I tried to look for more details on how to use JFUpdater, but haven't found anything so far.
Any help is appreciated!

...
The "triangle exclamation mark" screen is the recovery. Alt+L if you don't see any text instructions.

Thanks for the quick reply.
It says
Android system recovery utility

Did you perform Apps-to-SD or otherwise change the partition table on the microsd card?

No I haven't... Um I'll go read up on that and try it. I'll let you know. Thanks!

No, you probably shouldn't at this point. Can you pull your microsd out, backup the data on it, and reformat it on your PC? Then, copy the update.zip manually over and see if recovery recognizes it.

Oh okay. I'll give that a try.

That updated! Thank you so much. Should I update the radio as well? Or was that included in the update zip?
I still don't know what's causing the JFUpdater problem... But I guess I can always just update manually.
Thank you!

Yes, you should update the radio as well. http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html Look for the 1.5 radio image.

Just to make sure, do I download the radio zip from HTC and run it as update.zip like I previously did for the update itself?

That's correct.

Thank you so much for your help! Greatly appreciated.

yes, exactly like before. Remove the previous update file from the sd card first though.

Root QnA

I was wondering if it was possible to un-root a G1. I'm honestly having the hardest time with it. I've downgraded to RC29 but when trying to add "RC33: (md5: f24b6c237775147cb4bc42efc2393973)" it doesn't want to add when ... I followed the steps on the step by step of adding it and it always hangs up and wont add when in recovery mode while pressing Alt-S to apply the update.
-Could this be a problem because for some reason while i was putting in the info into Telnet it hung up at the recovery.img portion. Sorry new about moding phones... Cars i know phones i don't
I'm in the LA area if anyone else is and is willing to on there free time show me how i keep screwing up. Thanks
All you gotta do is reflash the DREAIMG.NBH file onto your G1 and it'll update by itself, which means you'll be back to stock.
Edit: Are you by any chance unzipping the file? If you are, you have to leave it unzipped and just rename to update.zip in the SD card.

no i'm leaving it update.zip like the set by step said. And how do i refresh it? Im on yahoo messenger by the same name on here if your on this to help me. Thank You
-i rather keep it rooted and not have to revert to tmo's software but 4 hours and i feel like a total moron
Why would you want to unroot your phone? But if you really want to then just flash back to RC29 then wait for the phone to get the OTA updates.
I don't want to unroot but im unable to add 1.5 like i intended on doing. So right now im stuck with rc 29 and not cuppycake like i want. I wanted to re-up back to 33 like it said in the posting i was using as step by step and it wont allow me to update
Questions on Android 1.5 and rooting
Some advice will be appreciated!
I just got my G1 a few days a go I was reading from the Official t-mobile web site that the up-grade for android will be out randomly to customers and their expecting that all of us customers will have it by the end of May
Now should I go thru all the work of rooting my G1 and getting cupcake or just wait for the upgrade?
Is there a difference between the two of them?
In the upgrade to 1.5 I don’t see or read anything about the apps getting install and running from the memory card does anyone about this?
Thanks in advance!

It all depends... If youre ONLY rooting to get cupcake, I would just say wait. See this link for some reasons why you would want to root and step by step instructions:

You can render your phone useless however while doing this. So BE CAREFUL... Youve been warned!
how to unroot my g1
So I rooted my phone and installed JF1.5 and my SD card is now acting a bit weird, and I want to undo the root and mod so I can go back to factory. How do I do this? Is this even possible now?

Interesting root problem
Hey guys, been playing in a cupcake irc channel, while we are all waiting for ota cupcake, helping half a dozen or so people root, and i came across one that i figured i'd post here, and see if anyone has any ideas. Obviously i don't have his phone in hand, so i can't be 100% sure that he isn't flubbing a step, but he seems compitent enough to follow simple instructions. He has a stock g1 pvt board with an 8 gig transcend class 6 sdcard, we have formatted this card many times, we get through the nbh file, installs fine, telnetd steps no problem, put the update.zip on the sd card and boot into the bootlader, and everything goes hey wire, it cant find nor install the update.zip, we have redownloaded different spl's to try, triple verified the files weren't named update.zip.zip. the only odd thing i found about his phone, was in one of the threads on here, people were checking the output of the mount command, and for some reason for his sd card his output is /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /sdcard vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0711,dmask=0700,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,utf8 0 0 where everyone esles is p0 or p1 i cant quite remember. anyhow any ideas or suggestions would be great and no he does not have another sdcard at the moment for us to get it done with
Thanks in advance
ps this is his output form the boot loader

I just manually updated my phone to the new cupcake 1.5 US version. I would like to root my phone but don't I have to wait until the modify version comes out? Or can I root right now by downgrading and then manually upgrading to stock cupcake again? Will upgrading with the stock cupcake update wipe out the root?

All versions since rc29 have had the same thing. Rc33 for a while said no. It is basically saying you *can* get root, just need a modified rom.
at last someone finds this.
now lets wait for jf
I have a second G1, it is not rooted, my wife isn't into the rooting thing, but I want to update hers to 1.5 if I am thinking correctly, all i need to do is place the .zip file on her SDCARD and run the installer app correct.
I wonder if they have improved the Stock IM apps.
I was one of the first persons who received the log, and had been trying to figure out the link since 9:30am this morning. But I am in awe of Zinxx, how did he ever figure out the partner part of the link? Nice.. Thanks!

flash the ota over again and install apk's using apk installer it shouldnt mess up that way
How is JF going to make this build different from the ADP1.5 thats already out there?
Whats the difference besides (possibly) the stock IM stuff?

You won't need to wipe or reinstall that way.

So what is the RC version of the official OTA 1.5?

Find a newer thread

I stopped updating this information a long time ago. I recommend finding a more recent thread...
Very good job, exactly what I have been looking for.
Very good job!
Great instructions.....
WOW!! Wish i had something like this 2 months ago when i got my G1. Nice of you to put this together. Definatly going to help out a lot of people and save them a SH!T load of time and head aches! STICKY!!
Don't you have to downgrade to RC29?
Or is that obsolete now?
Wow this would've definitely come in handy a few weeks ago. But what took me a few hrs to gather by reading posts this one thread explains it all. Glad you took the time to write this. Hopefully a more stable hero comes out too to update this thread with.

That's actually explained in step 3.
3.) Download DREAIMG.nbh and put copy to the phone (don't put in a folder) http://bit.ly/wfAOO
That file is the RC29. Good looking out though.
Hi! Good!!
When the phone reboots, you can hold home and power to boot into cyanogen. There is an option to upgrade from ext2 to ext3.

What recommends = ext2 or ext3
This partition is not created = linux-swap (32 MB)

OK .. I keep getting the same result.
When I restart the phone and the grey bootload screen comes up, it does a check and replies with "not allow" Anyone know what to do here?

Hey youneek great guide But could you put a warning for the flashing of haykuro's SPL? The SPL has a chance of bricking your phone if you don't have the latest radio and a PVT board. Even if you have both of those your phone can still be bricked Mind putting that up there for others? Thanks!

does the /system/sd folder exist in console if you don't do this first:
mount system
and no need to 'cd' .. simply do:
rm -r /system/sd/*
if you are looking to delete everything on the second partition
great guide - if this was out begore I started I would of been running HERO with the quickness.
But still im glad i learned the hard way now i can get myself out of tuff situations
this is a great tutorial.
i also suggest to give people the option on what spl to flash. i prefer the hard. that new special one is dangerous for noobs

Excuse me. I'm just a newbie and going to buy a G1. You said G1 may be bricked during update without a PVT board. How can I check what the board is to avoid? and what's HardSPL?? Thanks a lot.

Youneek thanks for your reply,
Always at the step where I have downloaded the dreamimg file to the SDCard > shutdown the phone > then restart it holding the camera and power on buttons.
The grey 'bootloader' screen comes up, does a configuration check then flashes up the "not allow" message and dumps to the multi-coloured screen. At that point I have to pull the battery out to restart.
I'm going to go out today and purchase another SDCard. This one is a Sandisk 1mg card and I've read that certain Sandisk cards will not comply with 'rooting' instructions.
Cheers, elzee

I appreciate your time to provide me
this is a diff patch form 1.33 to 1.52. The easy way is :
- make a nandroid backup
- apply original 1.33 firmware
- reboot to recovery (so the original and not the custom) then choose to apply the OTA zip
- install custom recovery
- root the chacha
- restore only data from your nandroid backup
bah, of course... why didn't I even think of it... Tried every possible combination except the one above... feeling like a noob ^_^ Thanks man.
Quick info.
Android version: 2.3.5
HTC Sense: 2.1
Software version: 1.52.401.1
I have a default S-ON European device, but original recovery is not reading the update.zip straight into recovery I get:
E: can't find /cache/recovery/command
Pressing power on apply update I get:
-- Invalid operation
Success in Reboot ........
Connecting via Wifi or Edge and checking for updates is not getting anything either, even though the phone is on 1.33.401.1 and completely stock
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks a lot for your reply, however, I am still stuck.
OK more details here (THE DEVICE IS STOCK and S-ON):
- Pressed vol- while power up
- got the searching for PH06IMG.zip and then a menu
- I chose recovery
- I see green sync arrows
- Then I see red exclamation with phone
- Pressed vol+ and power
- get E: can't find, and a menu in upper area of screen
- if I hold vol+ and click power I get back to red exclamation screen
- if I select Apply update from sdcard, I get Invalid operation and reboot

So from this menu you select apply update and you get invalid operation? Hmmm, weird...
What sw version are you running right now? You do have 1.33 right?

Yes I have 1.33.401.1, I use a Mac and Linux so when I updated from 1.18 to 1.33 I had to get the rom.zip from the RUU and placed it on the sdcard as PH06IMG.zip it was the same SD Card but will still try a smaller SD Card to avoid SDHC issues tonight at home.
I am not sure if an RUU for 1.52.401.1 will be available or if HTC will allow the phone to find the update any time soon because the files have a date stamp of 7th October 2011 or this maybe a leak actually. Just wondering about internal space and unlocked bootloader as of now, because use data2sd will require root which I don't have and can barely install anything on this phone even though I like the form factor more than my DesireZ (keyboard is a must for me).
Try to make on your SD card a directory named as "download" and put the file there. There is a chance that after the next upgrade search you will be prompted to install it from SD.

thanks for the tip, though no cigar, I guess it needs to get information from the server that it should download / use previous download for verification.

Applied the 1.33 fw, but after I reboot into recovery, I see just the green sync symbol, followed by the red exclamation one. Nothing happens. The OTA file is on the sdcard. Any ideas?

hold volume up and press power, you will get a menu, chose update from sdcard, maybe it works for you. Filename should be update.zip
I really dislike (hate) market v3. It runs laggy, downloads a whole bunch of huge images (already takes 8MB of space) and some pages will timeout (from download page to accept&download).
I have rooted 1.33 firmware on my chacha, do I still need to apply a original one to update this OTA?
Thanks
btw, what's the difference between 1.52 and 1.33?

If you have CWM then install original 1.33. If not, you can continue, as said above.
Differences:
- New android version, 2.3.5
- New market version (official), 3.x.x (1.5 or something)
- New ?!? (To be completed)
- New ?!? (same as above)

[Q] B90

I have tried to root my TF doing it the way trippmcnealy say and to no success. I would get the android with gears turning then it would turn into an exclamation point and after a bit boot normally.
Anyone has the same issue? If not and you successfully rooted, feed back would be great. Oh when I got it, I updated without thinking.
Build# HTK75.US_epad-8.6.5.21
Any help would be great appreciated.
You can't root a b90 on .21, you have to downgrade to .19 and root with razor claw.

Is there a method that you are aware of at this point in time that allows you to downgrade from .21? If so could you provide a link?

Double check your file to make sure it's not filename.zip.zip if your PC is set to hide known extension and you rename it to filename.zip you're gonna get the extra .zip behind it.
Also it seems like the 2nd method by trippmcnealy getting better results for peoples
Did that too. I caught the .zip.zip and changed it. Still nada. Will try again. Another thing, from the external sd card, you take the file and copy and paste to filemanager and not in a folder correct? Cause I wasn't putting it in a folder and just added to the filemanager.
Yes it has to be on the root of the sd card, don't put it in any folder.
It will scan the sd card but not scan inside any folder.
Seems like you need two files on the external sd card and two files on the internal sd card as per trippmcnealy's method
So I leave the USB hooked up also as it's recovering? Will try now but with the US .13 first then update to WW .19.
No you don't need the USB connected.
Also after you downloaded the file you did unzip to get
WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip out of the zip file correct?
Pasted onto root of internal..........powered down......volume down/power then up when prompted...nothing.

You can try this to see, someone said they changed the WW to US and it worked for them. Outside of that I'm not sure what else you can do.
Thats exactly what I was getting ready to do....let you know how it goes.
Quick update, nothing, I did notice that when I do a recovery it says something about recovering kernel and not update?
wait a min...........well, this is what it tells me.
System Update
The update package is not compatible with your current software, please check your software version and version number in Settings and try the correct update package.
System is restored to previous configuration.
After you download the file, did you extract the file within or are you using the file as is?
I transfer both files without extracting anything. Going to try and do the US.13.
Well that didn't work, looks like I will have to wait for a fix, thanks for you time and help!
