for the t-mobile g1 with 1.6 firmware and some number stuff like drc92 and other G ones that won't cooperate..
to mod it from a stock (t-mobile nl) rom.
What u need :
1 sd-card (preferably more then 128mb)
1 pc running windows (i run win 7 ultimate)
1 usb cord
1 phone-internet connection (there is a wifi version too but since i find it not neccesary i wont link it. instead if you dont have phone internet : just download the packages on pc and put them in the G1)
1 app from market called : mybackup (you can use it for backing up contacts and stuff.. backup to sdcard and copy it to pc)
Backup
-download app MyBackup from the google marketplace and make a backup of programs and contacts (if you dont have phone-internet then get it from pc)
Preparing Gold Card:
- insert sd card into G1 and format it (whatever sd card and whatever format (there is only one on G1 hehe so go find it. also format is to be found in G1.)
- attach to pc and copy the RC7 image(DREAIMG.NBH) on the sd card in the G1 (do not detach from pc, i know you wanted to)
- goto appstore and download terminal emulator (as it says like that)
- open Terminal Emulator on G1
- type:
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
- write down the code somewhere, its ur CID thingy
- push backbutton
Reverse the CID:
Begin: 1c5356555344202010051cc3b7008cf4
1c 53 56 55 53 44 20 20 10 05 1c c3 b7 00 8c f4 (yes i copied it from you thnx - normal code... add the spaces so your CID looks like this (your own CID not this one )
f4 8c 00 b7 c3 1c 05 10 20 20 44 53 55 56 53 1c - reversed one (note the couples are reversed)
00 8c 00 b7 c3 1c 05 10 20 20 44 53 55 56 53 1c - now change the first two digit to 00
so you will have something looking like this: 008c00b7c31c0510202044535556531c (this is example CID so use ur own!)
- goto revskills and get a goldcard image with the code ur having now. revskills page
- now get the mail and save the attachement in a dir
Making your Goldcard:
- right-click and open as admin Hxd editor
- in HxD editor :
- goto extra menu and open disk > choose psysical disk > ur sd card
- goto extra menu and open disk image > choose the received file from mail called : goldcard.img and press ok on the popup saying some about 512
- now go to this tab goldcard and goto topmenu and edit>choose select all and then topmenu again and copy
- now go to first tab (ur sdcard) and select 00000000 to 00000170 with mouse (mark it)
- goto top menu and select edit> write
- now goto top menu and save
- pull the G1 out of pc
- yes you can
- ok now pull the battery out (or shutdown if u have the time)
- press camera button+power so it will give this rainbow 3 color shizzle
- you see a gray screen saying some words you probably wanna read.
- now press power to confirm overwrite the rom thing
- reboot by holding the two phone buttons (hangup and answer)and press menu or home and back (im not sure but one of these work and you see something saying it updates some stuff.
(if this dont work in ur G1 (specially latest versions) you can use a sdhc usb cardreader or a windows mobile phone or anything else with direct disk acces mode , probably nokia and sony ericsson too)
on the next boot you will have the old RC7
(if you have no internet on phone you can skip the next 2 lines and download the package and copy it to the G1 (dont know where so if anyone can tell me it would be nice to help people out )
- fill in your google account stuff
- Download Android "Telnet" application from the Market.
- Download recovery.img and copy it to your SD card. rename it to recovery.img
- Download the Hard SPL and copy the zip file to the SD card. (this is for G1 drea110 htc dream only so be carefull as this stuff can ruin your phone)
- All files must be on the root of your SD card.
- turn off the phone and detach from the pc
Rooting your G1- RC7 phone:
On RC7 Rom and lower, anything you type into your keyboard is also being run in a hidden console with root permissions.
To get root access, do the following:
- Restart your phone. Wait for your phone to start up fully and show the home screen.
- Unlock it by pressing menu after you typed code for sim and it fully started ( it will auto-lock itself)
- Hit the enter key twice,(Yes, it will start up a contact search, so you can see what you type . aint it cool) type "telnetd" and press enter.
- start telnet application you downloaded before on G1 and connect to localhost. (if you dont see localhost and connect window you have wrong app or need to reboot another time). If you connect successfully, you will have a root prompt "#".
Type the following into Telnet (these commands will give you root access for now):
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery.img
cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img
Power off your phone by pressing send/hangup&menu together when its done.
Now you have the modified recovery and root !
Now that you have root and stuff, you will want to apply "Hard SPL" to your phone. HardSPL includes engineer SPL and is what will allow you to apply any rom image from any other regions
(like UK on US phones, UK on dutch and vice versa), create full backups of your phone, install the latest build from the Android source, enable usb on recovery mode, usually resurrect your phone if it is "bricked" and give you allways root and ability to flash another rom. Allows fastboot. Fastbooting of images allows the flashing of 1:1 images of system, data, boot, cache, pretty much everything.
You have already downloaded the file to your SD card, so now you can apply it.
-Start up in recovery mode by holding home and pressing power.
-You will now enter recovery mode. You should see an exclamation.
-If you do not see a menu on screen, press Alt-L to show the menu. It is supposed to show the modified recovery menu.
-select update from zip to apply the update.zip (hardspl) from the SD card.
-After the update is complete, hold Home and press Back to restart.
ok your G1 europe 1.6 or whatever version is now unlocked.
Installing your modded rom:
now download this europe rom (or here: link ) and this cyanogen update mod
(here are more roms: android-roms make sure you READ what is needed for this roms as these all need different recovey and things which are all nicely written to you in the help and readme files that come with it.)
- copy both files to root of the sd-card
- detach G1 and shut it down
- press home and start to get into the menu
- wipe device
- wipe cache
- install from zip the europe rom and do not reboot or anything else
- install cyanogenMod
- after it finish press both talk&hangup button and tap menu
- its probably giving the recovery menu . take out the battery and put it in and start the phone normally
- wait a long while for the phone to setup and i donno what the heck it needs to do but let it.
enjoy...
THnx to this greatfull forum-members like myself, moneytoo, amon ra, cyanogen, mark_v, persiansown who do this coz few others can and they have a sort of happy feeling doing it.
hi.
this isnt working for me. i used the hex editor to copy sections 00000000 to 00000170 from goldcard.img to my sdcard, then shut down and turned on phone with HOME+POWER, it "hangs" on phone with exclamation mark image. if i press home+power again i'm presented with default android recovery. i did put DREAMIMG.NBH to the root of my sdcard.
that means no confirming anything... what am i doing wrong then?
Seriously, use 1Clickroot.

thats probably coz i mixed up buttons for starting the rainbowscreen updating mechanism.. sorry for that
i dont own or have a G1 so im not used to the button layout
edit: you can in that screen press Alt-L to get the menu , once u have the recovery.img installed it will change there to the menu of the modded recovery

can anyone quickly tell me what the advantages of having the hard spl are? all iv done is rooted, (via 1 click) and then flashed cyanogens latest. radio was already up-to-date. just wondered if flashing new spl changes anything? many thanks
Hard SPL enables you to install roms like Hero or others that have a large "update".zip

Right. HardSPL (and DangerSPL) are something that allow fastboot. Fastbooting of images allows the flashing of 1:1 images of system, data, boot, cache, pretty much everything.
You should always have HardSPL/DangerSPL installed so you can fastboot a nandroid image as a worstcase scenario.
Jesus, the amount of noobiness is this thread is astounding.

thnx for clearing that out
as i said i dont own a G1 i modded a friends one . so i dont know anything about this G1 but getting a new rom on it hehe.
i choose the hardspl as precaution and it seemed pretty stable from what i read.
i choose the 1.5 recovery as i thought it should have the same recovery image as the rom . dont know about that. it is the 1.4 recovery with some extras which are usefull, cant deny that.
i choose the rom as it seemed to be the most stable at the moment and allows thetering . this is why i needed to rom upgrade in the first place. second place that i just like modding and unlocking so that one can do everything with the device as it is yours anyway.

I'm also G1 / 1.6 / DRD20 ... it's sounds good news for me ...
Hahahhahahh.....
this post should be named "The Most Difficult Way to Root your G1". How bout this.....downgrade to 1.5, DL one click root, and you're done.
Please help!!! Pleasee!
Do help me out on this one. I really can't seem to actually make my SD card into the gold card part. Whenever i plug it in the G1 or on a USB reader it tells me it's damage and needs to format.
i have two questions, Can i flash SPL first, then do a downgrade then flash recovery?
2nd : If i can't then can i flash recovery, flash spl then do a downgrade to RC7?
if so how do i flash my recovery?
DO HELP ME OUT PLEASEE! i've been on this for days!!!
I know that this is going to cause problems and fighting but, I cannot read this thread and not say anything in good conscious.
With the amount of errors and misinformation in this thread, perhaps the OP should leave the tutorials and how-to's to the people that actually HAVE a G1, have modified ROMs on their phone, and can support the questions that are asked in the thread.
Just my two cents, but I have a feeling that my words are supported judging from the general consensus of the previous posts.

Id have to second that, while I may not have many posts here on XDA,I've rooted and rebuilt and replaced screens from 7 G1's using the how to's and wiki's here on XDA(thanks devs). My thought is if it the current guides work we should prob stick with them unless someone else figures a better faster way.(ie;one click root). By the way,just wanna say,I've never charged anyone to root their phone or fix one. The knowledge I've gained I learned here,it wasn't something I developed and I think its wrong for people to take open knowledge they didn't come up with and charge other people for it like I've seen at some of these cell phone repair shops and on craigslist. If your gonna charge for the knowledge then pay the people you gained the knowledge from. Sorry for going off topic,just had to vent.
HOW TO ROOT YOUR HTC EVO
DO NOT USE A RUU FROM SPRINT IF U WANNA MAINTAIN ROOT. WAIT FOR ME OR SOMEONE HERE TO MAKE A ROOT UPDATE.ZIP.
Major thanx for those who helped:
keishou (for the rooted build. without it none of this would be possible)
maejrep (for testing and modding a recovery for the EVO)
Flipz (for hosting the files)
Paul (for his recovery work on the desire and legend)
Amon_RA (for his recovery source on github)
WHAT THIS ROOT METHOD WILL DO:
- wipe all of your data so brace for that. backup or what not
- Allow you to flash custom roms
- Boot into a custom recovery
- Write to system, boot and recovery partitions through recovery
WHAT THIS ROOT METHOD SADLY WONT ENABLE YOU TO DO:
- Write to system or recovery while in android
- Flash a custom recovery that can be booted into by holding vol down and powering on
THINGS YOU WILL NEED:
download files below:
- PC36IMG.zip
- evorecovery
INSTUCTIONS FOR ROOTING:
- Put the PC36IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard
Code:
adb push PC36IMG.zip /sdcard
- Power off the phone
- Hold volume down while powering the phone on. continue to hold volume down until you see the WHITE bootloader screen.
- After a few seconds it will begin to checking for files, and find PC36IMG.zip. while its doing this it will show a blue progress bar while its checking. (this takes 30 - 60 seconds to finish)
- It will then list all the images in the zip and ask you if want to flash. SAY YES
- When its finished it will ask you if you would like to reboot. AGAIN... SAY YES
- At this point it will boot into a rooted rom.
- YOU ARE NOW ROOT!!!
- rename the PC36IMG.zip on your sdcard:
- plug your phone into a usb port on your desktop and do:
Code:
adb shell mv /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip /sdcard/root-PC36IMG.zip
RECOVERY INSTRUCTIONS:
- Extract the evorecovery.zip to your desktop
- plug your phone into a usb port on your desktop
- In a shell:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
- this will reboot your EVO into recovery mode. at this point turn your attention to the directory u extracted the evorecovery.zip to.
Code:
For Windows XP ~~> Run recovery-windows.bat
For Vista and Windows 7 do it as Admin
- in a shell do:
Code:
For Linux ~~> ./recovery-linux.sh
- at this point turn your attention to the phone and navigate to create a Nandriod Backup. you can now flash custom roms, write, and make changes to system.
- to flash a custom rom put the rom on the root of your sdcard. wipe data, dalvic cache and chose the option to flash update.zip from sdcard.
RECOVERY NAVIGATION:
-
Code:
Volume up/down moves through the list and Power selects.
RECOVERY SOURCE:
- http://github.com/jhansche/amonra_bootable_recovery/tree/supersonic
Code:
git clone git://github.com/jhansche/amonra_bootable_recovery.git
git checkout supersonic
Once you have finished and rooted your device. please flash another rooted rom from the forum. Flipz has made a root build of the rom that came on the device. it can be found HERE. you will need to wipe data and dalvic cache before flashing this. And again because i cant stress it enough... DO NOT accept a OTA update from Sprint or use a RUU, or u risk lossing root forever, and ever
HOW TO RETURN BACK TO STOCK BUILD:
-Easy peasy- run the RUU in the first post of this thread. this is the only RUU that after flashing, you will still be able to root using this method. link below:
ROOT SAFE STOCK RUU
Re: {how to root your htc evo} <coming soon to a thread near you>
I love you toast. In a manly, non-homosexual kinda way!!
As soon as root is provided, be sure to understand that I will buy you a beer or two my friend.
Good to see you active on the EVO 4G toast as I liked what you did for the last phone I had (htc hero)... not having root on this EVO phone is a bit of a frustration.
just like i told you before... you pm me your ADDy and ill send you some fresh coffee... i work at Green mountain coffee roasters
being that I'm not surprised about you n all involved getting root..alls I wanna know is if EVO-Godmode is in effect..
btw..use guys are ridiculous!! Mad props
Excellent! :d
O m g w t f b b q
I have a evo ready for testing if needed.
I likewise have a Google I/O Evo. Toast, you may remember me from the CDMA Hero forums, if you want a tester just let me know (a nice, roundabout way of asking for early access to root)
Can't wait to start working on custom roms and kernels for this awesome device!
SUPER!
If beta testers are needed, i have the I/O EVO and can test. please pm.
Donation coming!

im excited to see this secret method which is being used to obtain root ... rest is down hill
Re: {how to root your htc evo} <coming soon to a thread near you>
Would it be possible to take an autoroot app like the other group of devs working on it? Or perhaps a batch file? You are the man, toast!

I as well have an I/O unit, and am down to beta test! I will be in a 4G network next week, and would love to test if the Wireless Tether app functions on the 4G network

Calkulin, nice to see you. So it seems you'll be getting an Evo! Sweet, I used to use your roms and kitchen on my Diamond. I look forward to see what you, toast, and the rest of the community has in store with the Evo. Glad to see we have full root on the Evo. Next friday can't come soon enough.
sick! cannot wait to seee what you guys can do with this phone.
the screen is too gorgeous to be stuck with the stock ui, so i'm really hoping that since now there's root for this phone it'll get some good custom rom'ing.
Subscribed!
Why reserve a thread for this? Is XDA running low on storage?
Hope to see some magical things happen with all your genius brain powers combined.
Re: {how to root your htc evo} <coming soon to a thread near you>
EVO here too! Please allow me to beta test because I work for VZW and I wanna show them the awesome things this phone will do! Granted, the Droid's will do what this does, but this phone is so awesome lol
D//After all, Thank you for your great work, Skrilax_CZ!.
//And also, thank you tenfar, your defy bootstrap apk!
2011.01.09.
Totally new version is released, so this page is re-written.

It's another version of sh hijacking bootstrap openrecovery.
The original one 'Skrilax_CZ' made doesn't works for xt800w (moto glam), so I changed 'sh' binary.
1.How to install
-If you are using old version, please remove it before you install.
2.1
(You have to be rooted, busybox had installed.)
Copy OpenRecovery.zip and OpenRecovery directory to your sdcard root.
Install XT800W_OpenRecovery.apk
Run XT800W_Recovery on your phone.
Click Install button.
2.2 (alternative method - via adb shell or ssh (not recommend))
(You have to be rooted, busybox had installed.)
Copy OpenRecovery.zip and OpenRecovery directory to your sdcard root.
$su
#cp /sdcard/openrecovery/orbootstrap/install_script.sh /tmp
#cd /tmp
#chmod 755 install_script.sh
#./install_script.sh

2. How to use
2.1
Run XT800W_Recovery on your phone.
Click Recovery button!
2.2
Reboot your phone.
When the phone vibrate or led backlight is turned on, press any button(ex, Volume, power, search, camera)
2.3
(alternative method - via adb shell or ssh(not recommend))
$su
#/system/persistent/orbootstrap/openrecovery.sh
-If you want to add custom script, add it to scripts directory or

2nd line : 0 - led off, 1 - led on
3rd line : waiting time for detrmine go to recovery or not. in seconds. min 1, max 10
Initial Value is
2
1
2
it means, 2seconds vibrate(first line), led back-light is on(second line), 2seconds wait for pressing key(third line)
To set no vibration, led is off, 2 seconds to wait,
0

4. What's different?
4.1. XT800W_Recoery app design and recovery running method changed.
4.2. sh binary changed(only do exec >> shell + hijacking)
4.3. Now you can use this with out boot in android! just press the button.
5. How does it working?
install_script.sh - backup orignal sh to sh.bin, copy custom implementated sh binary.
When you press any key while phone is vibrating or led backlight is on in booting,
(or there exsist /system/persistent/recovery_mode file)
sh runs /system/persistent/orbootstrap/utils/a.sh
a.sh sets recovery environment and calls 2nd-boot.
2nd-boot restart init process

[Q] How to increase vibration duration of soft keys
HELP!
I have Motorola Glam XT800W running MIUI.1.5.27.Ko Android 2.3.4 and I love everything about it except the limited personalizing options.
My main concern is how do I increase the vibration duration in pressing the soft keys? They are set so low that I can barely feel it.
Another is my notification led lights are not working at all, its not that its defective. I think it has to do something with the rom. How should I fix this?
Is there a way that I can upgrade my phone to MIUI 4.0 ICS? Please advice. Thank you very much!

Thanks for the update quail!
Do you have the AUS version of the Ideos? If so, who'd you get yours from?
Also, can we use this thread as a ROM request? (i.e. overclocking ability, gingerbread development)
Thanks. But can you plz post a guide or give a link on how to install the modified ROM in IDEOS for noobs like me

Yes I have the AU version and I bought a Crazy Johns pack with 4GB micro HCSD carded included from Aus. Post for 159AUD. I was luck and go one that was not locked to any network.
Yes you can use the thread for ROM requests, I personally will be ignoring requests for OCing, as there is a very nice little app called setCPU which works great on the U8150.
[How to] install recovery and custom ROMs
I hold no responsibility to how you use or not use this info and if you brick phone - you do this at your own risk
Part 1 Installing Recovery ROM
Please refer to this post before flashing Recovery ROM - AmonRA Recovery 1.6.2 and BLUE Screen
The custom recovery allows you to do all sorts of lovely things such as installing ROM update zips (for the forthcoming custom ROMs), wiping various parts of the device, backing up and restoring and much more.
You can enter recovery mode - turn it off, then press the power button while holding the 'volume up' and 'send' (green).
Downloads
AmonRA Recovery 1.6.2 - DOWNLOAD (MediaFire Pro) / MIRROR (CoBlitz / ROMraid) - MD5: 65d4dcbbedb956a9f88dd1981fb31ef8
How to install - Windows, Linux and OSX
Download the recovery image of your choice above and extract the zip file
Put your device in bootloader mode - turn it off, then press the power button while holding the 'Volume Down' and 'End (Red)' keys
WINDOWS - double click 'install-recovery-windows.bat'
MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-recovery-mac.sh' followed by './install-recovery-mac.sh'
LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-recovery-linux.sh' followed by './install-recovery-linux.sh'
Part 2 Installing Custom ROM
Note: When using the Custom Recovery image use the Trackball to move up / down and press to select. Use the volume down button to go back.
Download a Custom ROM of your choice and place the ENTIRE ZIP (Do not extract it) onto the root of your SD card. By "Root" I mean do not place the file in any subfolders
Enter recovery mode - turn it off, then press the power button while holding the 'volume up' and 'send' (green).
From Custom Recover Main menu and select the 'Backup/Restore' option. Choose a 'Nand backup' and let it run it's course
Return to the Custom Recover Main menu and select the 'Wipe' option. Choose the First option 'Wipe data/factory reset' and confirm. <- this is optional after installing one of my ROMs. I personally have not bothered with it with my ROMs
Return to the Custom Recover Main menu and select the 'Flash zip from sdcard'. Select the custom rom you wish to flash, confirm and wait.
Part 3 Restoring back to original ROM
Note: Upgrade operations will erase the user data.
Find and Download ROM from Link provided on WiKi that you want to install
Copy the entire dload folder (with UPDATE.APP in it) to the root directory of the MICRO SD card.
Make sure your handset is power off. Insert the MICRO SD card into the handset. Pressing the END key and VOLUME UP key, and then press the POWER key to power on the phone and enter the Software Upgrade Mode.
You can see process bar start from 0 on the screen. (this take a few minutes)
Then the handset will restart automatically. Then it is OK.

I got the same deal!
Have you played around with the kernel at all? I'm not experienced in programming etc. but apparantly to OC the IDEOS U8150 more than 600mhz (setcpu does this automatically), it needs a kernel hack like other phones do.

I have played around with Linux Kernels in the past just not the Android kernel yet... but I am sure it not that hard to patch it and recompile.
I am happy with the 600MHz that setCPU unlocks it too.

The Main thinkg about these two parts here, when i enter recovery mode i get a blue screen is that right... nothing BUT a blue screen.
When i try to enter the bootloader mode it stays on the IDEOS logo, the first one when you turn it on...
Also im guessing it has to be plugged into the usb at all times for these.

You should not be getting a blue screen, you sure your using the correct key combination?
Yes you need the USB cable plugged in to use the bootloader. Yes the bootloader is ment to just sit at the IDEOS logo
yeah im 100% sure i used the correct key combo for the restore recovery mode, and sweet as for the bootloader, just wasnt 100% sure on that one.
Thank you OP for the info here, I used them to flash the recovery and I'm going to flash your ROM.
Having a Desire from the very first day I'm not new to these things, but this little boy is in my hands since this afternoon and it's amazing that you came with this just in time.
Will report back in a while with impressions.
OK, here I am. Just attempted to flash the ROM (after a full wipe), but it fails with an "Installation aborted." message just after the ISO symlink one. Looking at the update script, I guess there was a problem while flashing the BOOT partition.
Rebooting into the OS result in the new (rooted) ROM, but something is missing: the build.prop is likely the old one (I still see the old build string) and I have only 118 MB of free NAND space.
Coming from the Vodafone Italy ROM.
Any hint?

What package did you download? I forgot to test one my builds and aborted installation on me, but I have fixed it and already put up a work version. Please try the newer version

Hi, I flashed "U8150V100R001C191B822_010711_042603", the one I guess is the newest (despite the "2010" typo on the first post ).
Is there a newer one?

Another thing I am not sure what the diff is between the Italian ROM and the Australian ROM. I wonder if you phone is not fully compatible with the Australian ROM?
ARGH, ok not good...
booted up to flash my loving ideos and i think i killed it...
'Firemware update step 1/2
Unpacking
[=============] (thats a progress bar
!
update failed
and all my buttons are blinking...
First version working
I had the same problems as @ngel using the newer version. Fail with the iso symlink.
Used the first version you posted up and that worked without a problem.
Zeam Launching is really snappy. Or I just haven't bogged down my phone with a whole bunch of crap yet.
Thanks for your work I bought my Ideos through 2 Degrees in New Zealand.
Request:
I quite like the look of the black notification bar and green icons. Would you be able to theme this rom with those? Also could you include the gingerbread keyboard. I know I can install it separately but would be cool to have Touch Pal and the original keyboard removed and replaced with the gingerbread one.

Did you power on your unit holding the 'volume up' and 'red' key?
HI Guys , its me again so after a long working night of disabling encryptions and verifications i finaly was able to boot a AOSP Generic System Image on my LG G7 (EUROPEAN VARIANT ONLY) and now im here to show you how to install
How to install ?
Download the GSI from PHH AOSP thread , take a/b ones with ot without gapps as you like
Download my SecuretyOff-Vendor-image and my Permissive boot.img
Reboot to fastboot and unlock your bootloader if you havent done it yet (you can find tutorials online, same method as on g6 and previous)
flash the magisk enabled securetyoff permissive kernel with the command "fastboot flash boot_a pathtoimghere"
Reboot your G7 to LG Stock os and install magisk manager and TerminalEmulator from PlayStore
Now copy the Downloaded Vendor file to your internal sdcard and rename it to vendor.img
Open TerminalEmulator (adb shell works aswell) and type su, hit enter, then type "dd if=/sdcard/vendor.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/vendor_a" , hit enter m this will take some time pls be patient
Once youre done with flashing the new vendor reboot to fastboot again and flash the GSI with the following command "fastboot flash system_a pathtoimghere"
One last step before you can enjoy AOSP type "fastboot -w" and then "fastboot reboot"
Whats Working ?
So for me everyting works so far i just noticed 2 small bugs till now
1. the Notification LED wont stop blinking (im on that already)
2.sometimes the display turns black for about 0,5secs
3. if your headphone jack doesn't work open up a root shell and enter "setprop persist.sys.overlay.devinputjack true"
Credits

reserved 2
Update , Ressurection Remix Gsi and LineageOS Gsi work too , also i was able to fix the blinking led , but it doesnt work at all anymore (lights hal doesnt load will investiagte tomorrow) but RR or Los doesnt have gapps packed with them so you will need to wait for twrp to be ready (i think i will finish it in next few days)

Amazing work friend
What about the rom with the DAC? I can change this in the settings of the sound more precise. So not like the lg rom, the preset sound profiles?
Look forward to this! Many thanks +++
what about the dac? sound does not work over jack connection.
Hi.

Any word on AOSP 9? As far as I know it requires vndk 8.1 but the g7 launched with Android 8. Do we have to wait for Android 8.1/9 from LG for AOSP 9?
https://highonandroid.com/android-r...oject-treble-unlocked-bootloader-twrp-method/
I saw a video on youtube by max lee i do believe he said you could install this as long as you had twrp recover
I have the sprint verison so i cant try but if anyone with twrp can try and comment

Doesn't really matter
so the headphone jack is now fixed open up a root shell and type setprop persist.sys.overlay.devinputjack true then reboot and it will work

Hello, sorry for being so late but i finaly got the files that youre looking for. "Kptr_restrict" is attached in the post but "kallsyms" is too big so i uploaded it to my google drive. The link is:

I've checked kallsyms, how did you get it? via terminal app, or adb (or even twrp maybe if it's possible on g7)? The prob is that functions addresses are zeros, that's not good.
