Here's a n00b friendly guide for all the people with 1.33.0010 SPL and who would like to switch over to the 1.33.2010 Engineering SPL with Amon_RA's ROM. This has been tested on my Indian HTC Magic, but I do think it will work for other Magics with the same SPL. Remember, this is for 32A only.
1. Download the latest Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/. Create a folder called "AndroidSDK" on your C drive and extract the contents of the zip file to the folder such that the folders called "tools", "usb_driver" and all are within the "AndroidSDK" folder.
2. On Windows XP : Go to Control Panel->System, Choose the 'Advanced' tab and then click 'Environment Variables' To do this on Vista/Windows7: Simply go to Control Panel->System and choose 'Advanced System Settings' and then 'Environment Variables'
Now that you've got here locate Path under System Variables and click Edit, then add the following to the end of the string displayed:
;C:\AndroidSDK\tools\
Then click OK until you get out of the menus.
3. Enable Debugging mode on the phone by going to
Menu > Settings > Applications > Developement > USB Debugging
4. Go to http://dl.google.com/android/android_usb_windows.zip and download the ADB drivers for windows.
5. Connect your Android device via USB. When the Found New Hardware Wizard appears, you'll be asked if you'd like Windows Update to search for software, select No, not this time and click Next.
Select Install from a list or specified location and click Next.
Select Search for the best driver in these locations. Browse and select the unzipped folder. Click Finish.
6. Go to "Run" in Start and type in "cmd". This is the standard procedure for invoking the Command Prompt. Remember this. Type "cd\" hit enter and then enter "cd AndroidSDK", hit enter. The command prompt should look like :
C:\AndroidSDK>
Now type in "adb devices" and hit enter. You should see something like this :
C:\AndroidSDK>adb devices
List of devices attached
XXXXXXXXXXXX device
If you do, everything is great. Disconnect your device.
7. Now go to HTC's global site and download the latest version of HTC Sync, unzip and install. When you connect your device now, HTC Sync should recognize your phone.
8. Now comes the Gold Card part. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4289899&postcount=1 and follow the guide to create your Gold Card. The 2GB Sandisk one which comes in the box works just fine. If you don't have Android Market, don't fret. Forget about the Steps 3 & 4. Instead, connect your device with the card in it. Invoke command prompt and cd to "AndroidSDK" as told before. Type in "adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid". You will get the CID. Follow the rest of the steps from the guide to create a Gold Card.
9. Time for action. Now you gotta get http://rapidshare.com/files/267446145/2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip and http://rapidshare.com/files/267451803/2.16.707.3_-_sappimg.zip. Now follow these steps to flash the 2.53.707.2 ROM first and then the 2.16.707.3 later :
# Copy the required sappimg.nbh/zip to the Goldcard.
# Boot your phone while holding the VOLUME-DOWN key.
# Press the ACTION KEY (=trackball) to start the update.
# Wait until the update completes and press the ACTION KEY (=trackball) to reboot your phone.
10. Now time to create a Nandroid Backup. Download http://rapidshare.com/files/262635369/recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img. Put it in the "AndroidSDK" folder. Switch off your phone. Hold the Back button and Switch it on. This takes you to the Fastboot mode. Standard procedure. Remember this. Connect the phone to the PC. Invoke the command prompt, cd to "AndroidSDK" and type :
fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img
The recovery image will boot and you'll see the recovery screen. Wait for 2 minutes. Select the Nandroid Backup option and follow the on-screen instructions to create a backup. Reboot device. And copy over the "nandroid" folder on you sd card to a safe place.
11. Go to http://rapidshare.com/files/267475618/update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2010-signed.zip. Copy over the zip to your sd card. Switch off your phone. Hold the Back button and Switch it on. This takes you to the Fastboot mode. Connect the phone to the PC. Invoke the command prompt, cd to "AndroidSDK" and type :
fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img
The recovery image will boot and you'll see the recovery screen. Wait for 2 minutes. Select the Apply sdcard:choose zip option and choose the Engineering SPL. Follow on-screen instructions to flash the SPL. Reboot.
12. Time to flash the Amon_RA ROM. Go to http://rapidshare.com/files/258868832/Rom-RAv1.1.0H-signed-update.zip. Rename the file to "update.zip" and copy over to the sd card. Switch off your phone. Hold the Back button and Switch it on. This takes you to the Fastboot mode. Connect the phone to the PC. Invoke the command prompt, cd to "AndroidSDK" and type :
fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img
The recovery image will boot and you'll see the recovery screen. Wait for 2 minutes. Select the Wipe Data option, and follow instructions to Wipe your present ROM. If you don't do this, your phone might not boot after flashing the ROM. Select the Apply sdcard:update.zip option. Follow onscreen instructions to flash the ROM. Reboot. All done. Welcome to Android.....
All credits go to Amon_RA, ekindangen and everybody else for their respective contributions.....
PS. Please do chip in with a Thanks if you found this guide helpful and any corrections are welcome.....
PPS. After you flash the ROM, if HTC Sync isn't working, use Google Sync, since the ROM is a Google ION based one.

No problem, bro. Always ready to help....
And, BTW, I have made changes to the last step of the procedure. It concerns the Wiping of the present ROM before flashing the custom one. Please do take note of it....
when i tried to run adb devices on the c:/adnroidSdk, its shwoing me error , adb not recognized as internal or external command.....
i am using vista.
the command is only running if i go the particular directory , like c/ android sdk / tools , and then run the adb devices then it shows the connected device... ie my phone is it OK . or any thing wrong till now ... ?
saptali one small question that if do till the point number 9 , ONLY , then can i be able to get the google stuff or shall i proceed from point 10 onwards.... am i correct that from point 10 onwards its ROM FLASHING , and till point 9 and above its SPL flasing only ..
will my phone works , as normal if i do till point 9 only ? ie SPL flasing only..?? i dont want to do rom flashing ..
Workin on it!
Started workin on... will keep u posted.
btw, what are the odds of bricking the phone?
@ pintspin, either you need to send the path right ( in ur environmenta variables) or navigate to ur tools folder inside the androidSDK folder and run the adb.

Under step 9, why is it necessary to flash two ROMS: 2.53.707.2 first and then the 2.16.707.3.
Isnt't it true that once we flash 2.53.707.2 ROM, Security will be Off and we land upto a non-perfected SPL?

ashish yes, dont flash 2.16.707.3, 2.53.707.2 is more than enough. I actually flashed 2.16.707.3 and came back to 2.53.707.2. Because none of rom where botting. Please rmember to make *Nandroid backup* after flashing 2.53.707.2, if you screw up at any stage it will help you to revert to 2.53.707.2

No there is no google stuff in 2.53... Rom, it just turns the S=OFF in your spl, which is good, makes your SPL a engg one
this is damn cool... i did it step by step and it worked like a charm.
I can confirm that it worked using the 2GB sd-card that came with the device.
At point 9 - copy the files to sd card and rename them to sappimg.zip
I have to mention that all data will be erased! So I didn't actually get the backup part at point 9 that backs up the files from the sappimg in my opinion.
I've flashed only the 2.53.707.2 ROM... don't know what the other one does.
I have copied the update.zip files directly on the gold SD card. No format or anything after the sappimg update. I now have several update_xxx.zip files on the card and checking them out.
Mine was a HTC Magic bought from US. Initial config:
Sapphire PVT 32A Ship S-on H
HBOOT 1.33.0010 (SAPP10000)
CPLD 12
RADIO 3.22.20.17
Build 2.53.707.2
After update it is showing:
Sapphire PVT 32A ENG S-off H
HBOOT 1.33.2010
Still no Google apps on the device but will try to put the Hero on it . Or another Magic Rom.
Thanks to all of you who made it possible. There is no purpose in having an open source system on a locked device!
i am not able to download this file from rapid share as , my limit is over can any one please tell me any other link for same , please
http://rapidshare.com/files/267475618/update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2010-signed.zip
1. Step 9 Flashes 2.53.707.2 which is Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010
2. Step 9 then flashes 2.16.707.3 which is NON-Perfected stock SPL v1.33.0009
3. Step 10 does a Nandroid backup.
4. Step 11 again reverts back to 2.53.707.2 which is Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010
Is flashing to 2.16.707.3 required for taking a Nandroid backup??
If flashing to 2.16.707.3 is not required can someone update the original steps to avoid confusion?

Asish i have told you, im on 2.53.707.2, and im rooted you dont need 2.16.707.3(imperfect spl), its better to have a Engg spl 2.53.707.2, stick with it.

If you just want the Engineering SPL, you can stop at that particular point, and stay with the official ROM.

I can tell you that if you have a Nandroid backup, there is no chance of bricking your phone. In fact, if you want to you can backup your current ROM with Nandroid.

The first ROM is a test ROM, which gets the security OFF. The second is a shipping ROM with a non-perfect SPL.

The 2.16.707.3 ROM is not required for taking the backup. You can actually take a Nandroid backup of any ROM. But why I took the backup after flashing those two ROMs was because both of them are official ROMs. And you haven't yet begun messing with the SPL. So, it's a safe middle ground. That's why the backup....
Just got your replacement/refurbed/new mytouch and notice it is near impossible to root it right? This is what I did and it worked flawlessly(In about 10-15 minutes depending on if you have the drivers for adb etc already set up).
DISCLAIMER: BY FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE YOU AGREE I AM IN NO FAULT WHATSOEVER FOR YOUR BRICKED DEVICE
WHAT YOU NEED: A goldcard(Guide below), mytouch 32b with SPL 1.33.0007 and any 32b radio
CREATING A GOLDCARD:
******NEW METHOD************
There seems that there is an application that does it for you now, download this, extract it, and then follow the directinos in the read me. I haven't tested it so I will leave the original guide up as well REMEMBER TO FORMAT FROM WITHIN THE PHONE.
1. Put your designated goldcard in your phone, click unmount, then click format(This step seems to be important, I'm thinking it must be the lost.dir folder the phone automatically puts in the sd after formatting)
2. Input these commands:
cd\
cd\NameOfYourAndroidSDKFolder\tools
adb devices(Should show your serial number)
adb shell
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
A long list of numbers will pop up WRITE THEM DOWN SOMEWHERE EASY TO ACCESS THIS IS IMPORTANT IT IS 100% ACCURATE
3. Go to the goldcard website and input the cid you copied down, then clock the submit button. You will get your reversed cid now COPY THAT DOWN IN THE SAME PLACE AS WELL, PREFERABLY WHERE YOU WROTE DOWN THE ORIGINAL CID.
4. Now go here and fill out the information(MAKE SURE YOU INPUT THE REVERSED CID WITH THE FIRST TWO NUMBERS BEING ZERO). Click create goldcard and let it do its job.
5. Go to your email and download the goldcard.img, and then download this hex editor. Install it after downloading.
6. Take the card you want to make into a goldcard and put it in a usb sd card reader, or a sd card port with an sd card adapter(Either or is fine) so that it shows up as removable disk.
7. Open up the hex editor(Run as admin to make sure nothing goes wrong), click extras, and then click on open disk. Then uncheck in the bottom of the page "open as read only", after that click on your removable disk UNDER PHYSICAL DISK!!!!!!! Click ok when asked for 512 sector size.
8. Click the extras tab again, then click on open disk image, and navigate to your goldcard.img. Click open and it will show the goldcard in a new tab. Highlight the whole image then click on edit then select all. Then go back to your removable disk tab and click edit, then paste. Click save and then close the hex editor. Goldcard is now CREATED! To test it click eject and then put the card back in, if done correctly you should be able to open up the card to add files to it. Okay now that that's done get a beverage of your choice and get ready for the fun part.
ROOTING THE PHONE:
1) Download your sappimg, stock radio, recovery of choice(I would use Amun Ra'sor Kousches clockwork recovery.) and SPL of choice(I used engineerings1.33.2005 spl linked here).
2) Okay after you download all of those, place the recovery and radio in the tools folder of your AndroidSDK, naming them each something you will remember(name the recovery, "recovery", and the radio, "radio", to make it simple). After all of that place the sappimg on the root of your sdcard and the SPL there as well, name it "update.zip" to make it simpler on you.
OPTIONAL: Download the splash screen of your choice and place it in the tools section as well, naming it splash.rgb565 or splash.nb(Whichever file extension it gives you), I made my own with this
3) Power down your device, then turn it on holding volume down and power, let the phone load up the sappimg, and then let it do the upgrade IF IT DOES NOT WORK YOUR CARD YOU FORMATTED TO BE A GOLDCARD MORE THAN LIKELY SIMPLY CANNOT BE FORMATTED FOR THAT PURPOSE.
4) After it asks you if you want to reboot, reboot your device, notice it says HTC magic now, it's cool. Pull your battery out then place it back in, turn your phone on into fastboot by holding down the back and power button, then plug into usb chord(The device might turn on automatically after pulling the battery and reinserting it., don't panic pull the battery again and this time hold the back button as you place the battery back in).
5) Go into CMD prompt and intput these commands:
cd\
cd\AndroidSDK\tools(the name of AndroidSDK varied depending on what you have it named as under the root of your c drive, I renamed it to make it easier)
fastboot devices
Your serial number should pop up, awesome take a sip of that preferred beverage, then input these commands
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
OPTIONAL: fastboot flash splash1 splash.rgb565(or splash.nb wichever file extension it gives you)(this is only if you want to change your splash screen)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Alright if you replaced the splash screen on the phone you will see it there, pull the battery out again though then place it back in this time turn it back on holding home and power to enter recovery(The device might turn on automatically after reinserting the battery, don't panic pull the battery again and this time hold the home button as you place the battery back in).
6) Download the rom of your choice, I suggest Cyanogen 4.2.15.1 for a 1.6 based rom, and his 5.0.7 test for a 2.1 rom.
7) In recovery click on "usb toggle" if you chose amun ras recovery, if you downloaded clockword recovery(My daily driver for recovery images) click on the partitions menu then mount usb place the roms of the root of your sd card, eject/safely remove your sd, then return to the recovery menu
8: Final step!!! First wipe all 5 options in the wipe menu, or for clockword click wipe user data, then wipe cache partition, then go under advanced and click on wipe battery stats. Then flash the SPL, notice it says it requires a reboot, no biggie click reboot device on the home screen of your phone and it should take you back to recovery, after that click flash zip from sd, and flash the rom you selected, then click reboot.
There it is, yes it is a rough guide yes it isn't quite perfect. I am open to suggestions to speed up the process, but it is rock solid.
CREDITS GO TO: xda for having all the links I needed, and slight information, I got the splash screen creator from theunlockrs guide as well. theunlockr.com for the goldcard guide, I implemented it here so you didn't have to go anywhere else.
UPDATE: MAY 7th/10th - implemented the goldcard guide into the OP so you don't have to go to any external links not needed. Fixed a crucial typo, and added clockword mod to guide
awesome. I tried to root a friend of mine's and it had this SPL.. even made a godlcard and it didnt work.. So at leas I have something else to try now lol
yeah man i tried EVERYTHING to root my sisters, then while rooting my 1.2 again to chnge the splash i was like maybe i can implement the 1.2 guide and viola it worked lol.

Unfortunately, goldcard generator site is down, without it can get 0007 to apply sappimg.

try this
I used the 2GB Sandisk card that came with the phone.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I read somewhere than Sandisks have issues as a goldcard... with that said I used a Sandisk for my goldcard and it worked however I created the goldcard from Linux:
- Open a shell as root in your Linux.
- Connect your phone to the USB and activate the mount option from the notification bar.
- From Linux type 'dmesg'
The last message will show the device of your Android phone (for me it was /dev/sdb). Use the following command to create your goldcard:
dd if=goldcard.img of=/dev/sdb bs=384 count=1
That's it! Your goldcard is done and you didn't even remove the SD card from your phone

Hi i was trying the sappimg.zip into fastboot but after it updates it fails saying "wrong id number" and i am using mt3g 32B runing on 1.0 do you know of another one for my id number
You have to be using a goldcard, the link to create one is in the original post, just updated it.
Goldcard method still not working...

Now I find it weird that everywhere I've searched to get my mytouch rooted, everyone has a different stock radio installed. Anyways, I've tried two gold cards unsuccessfully. I followed the gold card howto's exactly: first on a 128 MB SanDisk, then tonight a 2 GB Kingston SD card. Both cards load fine and give me no errors after pasting the goldcard image on them.
As far as sappimg's, I've tried 2.53.707.2, 2.16.707.3, 2.16.151.1, the 96.03 MB sappimg.nbh from various places, the crc24-1.33.0007 img, and any other I could find.... even going as far as redownloading the same sized files from other locations. I finally stumbled upon this thread and hoped that you guys had a better sappimg I could use, but alas this guide uses the first one that I used...
My constant error is "Model ID incorrect! Update Fail!" I've been trying to find out what exactly it means, but noone seems to know for sure, other than I need to try something else...
I have rooted before, and managed not to brick my phone through various roms, radio updates, etc, so I'm by no means a noob at this. But apparently I'm a klutz and couldn't keep my phone from dropping and breaking my LCD, thereby needing a replacement... I just hope I can get this thing rooted in time for Cyanogen's Stable version of CM5! Please help!!!
Am I really the ONLY person that has had success with this method? I tried it quick fast n easy in ten minutes before I went into work and it worked flawlessly lol.
I am pretty sure mine is up and running with this method... Big thanks, but now i have to figure out how to add my market, gmail, etc... running 2.1
Grrr. Speaker isn't working, only speakerphone and mic.

The only thing that I'd like to add to the guide is, you have to unzip the radio.img from radio.zip, otherwise you get an error (writing 'radio' ... FAILED (remote: image update error)).

No issues with your ear piece speaker not working? What ROM did you flash with?
I think it must have something to do with my HBOOT. I noticed that I have the most recent, or at least newer radio than most of you trying to root your 1.33.0007. All the guides I've seen mentions upgrading the radio to what I already have.
The sappimg shouldn't have any radio files in it, right? I'm just tired of wasting my time going through the process... if anyone has a verifiable working goldcard, i'll be willing to trade both of my SD cards and pay for shipping if you're interested. Maybe I am doing something wrong when creating my goldcard, but none of the guides give much insight as to if I'm doing it wrong. It just says take it out and plug it back in to see if Windows recognizes it. And do note that I'm running XP, so I don't have to run the hexed as an admin. All help is appreciated; thanks!
ill trade you, confirmed to root my mytouch1.2 and the phone that started this thread lol. pmd you

Hi knny1491 & Thx a lot for this tutorial.
Everything worked for me (except a few heart-attacks ).
I started with: SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32B SHIP S-ON G, hboot-1.33.0007, cpld-10, radio-2.22.19.26I
After: SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H, HBOOT-1.33.2010, CPLD-20, Radio-2.22.23.02
I made a few mistakes - so perhaps you can update your tut:

4) After it asks you if you want to reboot, reboot your device, notice it says HTC magic now, it's cool. Pull your battery out then place it back in, turn your phone on into fastboot by holding down the back and power button, then plug into usb chord.

Be Careful and disconnect USB -> my magic rebooted everytime I put the akku back in

8: Final step!!! First wipe all 5 options in the wipe menu. Then flash the SPL, notice it says it requires a reboot, no biggie click reboot device on the home screen of your phone and it should take you back to recovery, after that click flash zip from sd, and flash the rom you selected, then click reboot.

"flash the spl" wasn`t very clear for a beginner. I had to "flash zip from sdcard", use the signed danger spl "update.zip" and NOT reboot manually - ONLY with the menu item "reboot"! - then the same Recovery menu should and you can flash the choosen ROM.

I have(had) a Mytouch3G running Stock Froyo from OTA and used SuperOneClick to Root. Then got ClockworkMod recovery via the app on the market.
I then followed the steps in the cyanogenmod wiki
1. Download the latest version of CyanogenMod.
* Optional: Download the corresponding Google Apps for the phone.*
* Magic32A / Roger's / Orange ONLY: Download the latest version of the EBI1 kernel.
Note: This does not apply to Magics with 3.5mm jacks.
2. Place all the files you downloaded on the root your phone's SD card
3. Reboot into recovery (Hold Home + Power)
4. If you want, perform a full Wipe (wipe->factory reset)-- this will sometimes prevent various issues, but at the cost of all your data/settings/etc.
5. If you don't perform a full wipe, it is recommended to clear the dalvik-cache (wipe->dalvik-cache).
6. Select "Flash zip from sdcard".
7. Select the CM update.zip
8. Magic32A / Roger's / Orange Only: Once installation is complete, select "Flash zip from sdcard" again, then
Select the EBI1 update.zip
9. Optional: Once installation is complete, select "Flash zip from sdcard" again, then
Select the Google Apps update.zip
10. Once complete, reboot your phone
11. The first boot after flashing a new ROM will be substantially longer than "normal". 5 minutes is not unusual.

I did Step #2 (I'll explain how, I may have done that incorrectly) and got stuck after trying to reboot into Recovery Mode (Home + Power), where it just hangs.
Step #2 I downloaded "update-cm-6.1.0-RC1-DS-signed.zip" and EXTRACTED the files onto my desktop and THEN copied those extracted files to the root folder of my SD card... That may have been my mistake.
I'm currently using another phone to access the SD card and then just dump the .zip file i downloaded into the SD and try loading that again... I will update soon after this post whether that chnaged anything.
Right now the Mytouch3G bootloader is the only thing that runs but when I Fastboot, it just says it cna't find the image files and brings me back to the bootloader menu.
Wish me luck. if you have any input please share- it would help me immensely.
Thank you!!
!!READ DIRECTIONS VERY CAREFULLY!! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKING YOUR DEVICE!!
Now that i got the warning out of the way i can promise you this method works 100% as long as you follow these directions exact!!

Flashrec.apk(lets you flash custom recovery.img)
Recovery.img(RA-Dream custom recovery.img)
now place all files on root of your sd card and follow these directions do NOT mix up files or forget which one is which.. lol
(if your device doesn't see the DREAIMG.nbh file, make sure your sdcard is formatted in FAT32)
1. Power on phone via fastboot (camera+power) wait for it to ask if you want to apply update and agree, wait for it to finish.. now power off device.
2. Reboot via recovery (home+power) now if you are unrooted you should get a screen with a triangle and a ! at this point press and hold "alt+L" untill words pop up on screen, now press "alt+W" to wipe phone data, than press "alt+S" to apply update. now reboot phone and sign in to google.
3. Once signed into google and at home screen go into the market and download "OI File Manager" now go back to your home screen and go to settings>applications> now check the box that says "unknown sources", then scroll down to development and open the menu to check the box that says USB debugging.

DREAIMG.nbh
update.zip
Now would be a good time to un partition your sd card since there will no longer be a custom recovery..
1. first you take the "DREAIMG.nbh" file and the first "update.zip" file and place on root of sdcard!
2. start phone in recovery mode (home+power) do a quick wipe of everything! than flash the update.zip file.. wait for finish than reboot or power off.. whatever prompts tell you. than make sure device is powered off after finished installing!
3. power on via fastboot (camera+power) and wait for selection to pop up asking to install the update! press confirmation button to apply and let it work its magic!!
Now your phone will be on stock android 1.0 firmware! you have 2 options..
a. wait for automated updates.. could take up to 48 hrs..
b. flash updates to 1.5 and or 1.6 via stock recovery!
if you chose option b than you are smart! lol who wants to wait for updates for a G1 nowadays? lol
ok so now to apply updates via stock recovery you do what you would normally do.
Download these files...
Stock 1.5 (OTA)
Stock 1.6 (OTA)
(the stock 1.5 and 1.6 files are also "update.zip" so be sure not to mix them up and confuse the proccess!!)
1. Place files on root of sd.. DO NOT RENAME FILES, the stock recovery will only flash an "update.zip" so please dont make any changes to file.names...
2. boot into recovery mode (home+power) and wait for screen with yellow triangle and this thing ! now press alt+L together untill you see more words pop up on screen..
3. Now press alt+w to wipe the data on phone... (just do it dont ask why) lol after wipe is complete press alt+s to apply update! once it's finished reboot your device and you are ready to go!!
unfortunately the 1.6 i provided is not the DMD40, you still have to wait for that automatic update lol i have the 1.6 before the update... it is the official tmobile firmware its just not the latest.. never really bothered to search for latest one..

nice guide you got there. wish this was around last week before i ended up bricking another g1 i had. lol
but there is one thing wrong with your guide, but it isnt a major thing. you dont actually need an active data plan to bypass the log in screen if you follow this method for that. that's what i used since i myself dont have a data plan and it worked for me

yes when i say to delete files im talkin about the ones from the previous step, and i recomend the 3 roms listed at bottom of guide i suggest you start off at step 2 boot into recovery go to wipe data and do so.. than flash the "spl" file first, than wipe data again and flash the "danger spl"!! no need to flash radio file because you are currently on that radio.. lol than just continue on to step 3!

Started at Step 2 Wiped, but there is no selection on the menu to select a zip file, just update zip. Is the Update zip from step 1 supposed to be on the phone even though I started at step 2. I tried download an update.zip with clockwork but get signature verification failed.
Great guide!
Thanks for using my name in step 3
Step 3 is perfect
BTW: Here is my version.
I think the root proces goes faster without downgrading, only search for "universal androot", and install this .apk! Then click on root and your device is rootes !
And then install a recovery via "Rom Manager" from the market.
But this is my opinion I did it like that!
I didnt use any guide, I made everything by myself and it worked! Rooting, 2.22.23.02 radio and 1.33.2005 hboot(spl), and then the 2.22.27.08 radio and 1.33.0013d hboot, flash a Rom!
But I thought, that the most people have the 2.22.23.02 radio, so I only write a guide about 2.22.27.08 radio + 1.33.0013d hboot!

That means you dont have a custom recovery.. which also might mean your not rooted.. you should follow the un-root method first and than try this guide from step 1 and you will be all set i promise!

what does it say when you boot in fastboot? did you flash a rom? some of the roms i listed in guide take like 10 min on the G1 screen b4 they boot
Its says exactly what its supposed to on step 3 or 4 with the updated radio and all. And yes i tried out one of your roms and let it sit for a good 20 min or so and all it did was bring up the "T-Mobile G1" logo for about 3 minutes and then it would cut off and do it again.
I redid step one and my phone works now but its still running 1.5

o ok well how far did you go on step 1.? did you flash recovery? i just want to make sure your recovery is properly working before you try to do anything else.. remember on step 2 you install "radio" first, than wipe!! and flash "Spl" and wipe again and flash "Danger Spl"!! You need "danger Spl" in order to properly flash radio 2.22.28.25! And on step 3. just make sure you follow every single little detail. How did you do it last time?

1. NANDROID BACKUP!! I cannot stress how important it is to backup. Enter CWM and backup! Problems remembering how to start CWR Check out the subsection marked “To Start Clockwork Recovery” of this post
2. Get the RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_ 10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed from the Shipped Pyramid ROM Collection. Link to post is here
3. Flash the above file to your phone. Needless to say – THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE AND PLACE YOU BACK TO STOCK 1.29. PLEASE NOTE! This will NOT remove S-OFF !!
4. On your phone, Go to Settings -> About Phone -> HTC Updates, and press the check now button. It should prompt you to download the 1.45 Update. Download and install the update.
5. Once you have downloaded and installed the update, it’s time to install Clockworks Recovery. Carefully follow the instructions in Step 2 here
6. Once Clockworks Recovery installed and working, just continue with Step 3 in above post or here to get rooted.
7. Once rooted, re-run Revolutionary! Check Step 1 in the above post or here The reason for rerunning Revolutionary is that the OTA update changes the HBOOT so you don’t have all fastboot commands like fastboot flash. This may be necessary when it comes to assistance with other ROMs.
8. NANDROID BACKUP!! – That way you don’t have to do this twice!
9. Press Thanks at the bottom of the post if this has helped you in any way.
NOTES
Revolutionary still works!
Fr3vo Exploit for temp root does NOT work after OTA update!
The biggest SHOUT OUT and THANK YOU to nxt! Without your work, I’d be doing all the research myself lol.
Go to his thread and thank him as well

I'm at step 4. The system isn't prompting me to download it, but I already have the .zip on my sdcard from when T-Mobile did prompt me earlier. I can see it, even extract the folders using ES File Explorer but I don't know how to actually launch the installation of this update. I tried rebooting into recovery, thinking I could install it from zip, but I get to the main screen, then I select backup and recovery and it doesn't let me access that. I'm still S-off. Any ideas?
Thank you,
Tim
Figured it out. I was able to get into stock recovery using the up arrow and pwr button. I did have to move the OTA zip file to the root of my sdcard, because for some reason the Download folder wasn't displayed. Currently the update is installing and then I'll rerun the Revolution to get perm root again.
Thank you,
Tim
did you rename the zip i have the same problem?

No, I didn't rename it, I only moved it to the root of the sdcard, because the Downloads directory wasn't visible for some reason in stock recovery. Once I did that I could see the file and launched it. It updated, I then ran the revolutionary tool to install the Clockworks recovery, and then ran the file that gives the perm root again.
Seems to be working fine, although I haven't seen any incredible advantages to it so far. Perhaps I'll notice the differences after using it for a time.
Thank you,
Tim
