How to downgrade from Rc33
Ok...I updated to RC33. Didn't know before I updated that I wouldn't be able to go from RC33 to root. So now I need to downgrade.
Can anyone help me downgrade from RC33 to RC29? Or maybe even RC33 to RC30? I searched and couldn't find anything on this but did see someone post that JF walked someone thru it recently....how ever I can not find it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I been in that thread....it's instructions to downgrade from RC30....not RC33.
And I have been going backwards in that thread from the latest posts for about 10 pages now and see nothing about downgrading from RC33.
Doesn't matter what rom you have installed as of now.
You need to follow the instructions and then pick which rom betters you.
Or even try going straight to 30 by renaming it, update, and install it in recovery mode.
Ok....I missed one small word....RC30 and above...
Thanks...in the process of trying to gain root now...
To make it clear for me, is the old downgrading process with a new german RC33 G1 still possible or will it fail because of an new SPL?

i don't really understand your problem. you want to downgrade because you don't have root anymore?
if so, it's a bit strange because i have root access on RC33 Oo

Think he means he upgraded to OTA RC33. Anyway like the previous posters have already indicated, the NBH file downgrades OTA RC33 as well.
ah i see, my mistake.
Hey guys I have two quick questions:
1. I have an OTA rc33 (stock) update on my phone I just received today, in order to root my g1, I will need to downgrade to the stock rc29. It's imposible just to get my phone rooted straight from rc33?
2. If the first question is true. After I downgrade and rooted the rc29, can I just download the latest jfv1.41 rc33 (developer version) ? Or I would need to update the rooted rc30 first in order to get the jfv1.41 rc33.
Your kindly help and suggestion are greatly appreciated.

Correct you need to downgrade to RC29 first for root.
2. If the first question is true. After I downgrade and rooted the rc29, can I just download the latest jfv1.41 rc33 (developer version) ? Or I would need to update the rooted rc30 first in order to get the jfv1.41 rc33.
For RC29 you can install JF's Modded version of RC33
Your kindly help and suggestion are greatly appreciated.

You're welcome
Just One Question:
Is it still possible to downgrade with an GERMAN G1 with the original Bootloader installed on it, or is the security hole fixed which allows downgrading with the nbh File. Please do someone answer me that question please
I tried root but had problems went back to RC29 stock but now I would like to go to RC33. What do I need to do to manually update?

Links to manually update are here:

i manually installed rc33 ota update and so i decided root my g1 then i get stuck on the colorful boot screen.
as the instructions on downgrading from rc30 i suspect it would be the same on a g1 with rc33.
im not sure if the formatting was done correct but i did the following:
on my eee linux netbook i typed
umnount /dev/sdd1
mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/sdd1
the zip file contained a file named "DREAIMG.nbh" the instructions quoted the file name as "DREAMIMG.nbh" so i tried it with both names and i get the same thing.

Thanks but that want work as I am at RC29 right now. That file says from RC30 to RC33.
Viper
Is it possible to restore my phone back to original condition? Unmodified RC33, already have the file? Do i just rename it again to update.zip?
Thanks
It is possible. Follow the guide here to the part where you turn on the phone while holding down Camera button. Then install RC29 just as you usually would to root your phone.
Once it's installed, you can install RC30 (non-rooted) just as you would install a rooted RC30, and from there install RC33 non-rooted just the same way.
Unless I'm overlooking capability to skip the upgrade to RC30 and just go straight from RC39 to RC33...
you're also going to have to convert back to the OTA keys from the test keys
its weird for soem reason i have rooted rc33 but i have the release keys and not the test keys, i always always confused about the difference
Looking for Help on if a g1 with stock rc33 be downgraded to a rc29, so it may be upgrade to mod JF..
Not sure, but try the sticky How-to-Root near the top of this forum...it outlines steps for going from RC30 to RC29. I think it will work for RC33 as I have read some have reverted to RC30 already.
SAME process to ROOT RC33... confirmed!

just did it
take the 1 gig stick that came with the phone its formatted fat and we need it to be fat32 so put it in a card reader and format it fat32! dont forget to switch from fat to fat 32
then get the dreamimg.nbh put it on cam+power watch it install, now your phone is RC29 go to the market and get the terminal and the telnet daemon appd reboot phone then open term and type 'telnetd' then open the telnet app and you will be at a root prompt....
its easy and all laid out in the post that says "ROOT YOUR PHONE SUMTHINGSUMTHING" I also was a bit unhappy when I saw my phone was at 33(my first was RC19,but I wanted white) and I didn't see anybody say that it would also work for RC33, but I went with the NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS (some peeps whine when it doesnt work, but never post if things go ok)
for the record I hate RC33lite and have gone back to the real deal and am using the ninja theme and it is as polished as buuf
bhang
Thanks it worked great was able to downgrade to Rc29 from stock RC33
to the official RC33 rom. I have had some probelms with jf 1.42 and cupcake. So i just want to go back to what i had. I searched already. I would just like an Update.zip file
The fastest way is just to use the same DREAIMG.NBH you used in the process to root, then apply an official update.zip. Otherwise get an official update.zip and use a signing tool (e.g. signapk) to sign it with the test keys.
This is what I found
**Didnt my link didnt work, not signed. something I have no idea how to do
jashsu thanks worked great!!! thanks man

Ok so I have rc29. I thought it would just ask me if I wanted to upgrade but it hasn't all day. I'm guessing its not an original file. Do you knoww where I can get the original signed file?

I copied DREAIMG.NBH the file you used to get back RC29
then I downloaded the files in the links i posted. and updated my phone manually.
Rename the files to Update then hitting the home button when you restart then phone

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:
