Try to flash it with the US RC29 or the UK firmware. But I don't think this will work as the SPL will block it.
AFAIK there's no way to get root at the non US/UK/Dev G1 at this time.

try update using rc30 update.zip file. I think you will install SPL for US region and you can flash back to RC29
Does it work? Because i wanted to buy the German G1 but if I can't root it, I will buy the UK Version.
@n8gk
work root with the US SPL ??
have you try this ??
If you flash a US or UK firmware on a german G1,....
will the Keyboard work correct ? the Layout for Z and Y are different.
Where can I get the RC30 update.zip file
Ther german has also a build 123099.
I didn't try to update, because I don't wanna loose the ability to go back to the original.
Waiting that a original one is out first. (because of language and keyboard)
Not Allowed
I tried to downgrade with rc29 firmware, but it isnt possible...
Checking...
Loading...
Not Allowed...
And then stuck in the bootloader...
I also got my G1 last week and it also has the 123099 Build.(I live in Austria) If there is any way how i can help to root this build (upload it?), let me know.
If i flash an UK or US firmware on my phone (suppose some genius finds a way how to do it) wouldn't it render the "Disable Data-Roaming" function useless, when i travel to one of these countries? And even deactivate the data connection in my home country?
In Austria tmo offers a roaming block on their side so i do not have to use this function on the phone, but i am just curious...
Maybe one of the more experienced users in here could tell us about the chances of rooting such a device.
Are there any or did Google / T-Mobile finally fix the backdoor completely?
Greetings,

In device info the build description is:
kila_eu-user 1.1 TMI-RC4 123099
ota-rel-keys,release-keys
And build id:
TMI-RC4
The backdoor has been fixed for some time now... But as long as you were able to revert to an older image you can re-root your device, but we are not able to do this because we would need to use an image with another CID and that is not allowed with the original SPL. But the only way to change SPL is when you have your device rooted...
Correct me if im wrong plz..
So that means bad news for the European G1 owners?
seems so. and because the developers here already got a us-hacked version, they not seem to be interested in hacking this 1.1 firmware the one or other way.
are the european developers to stupid/busy to do it? or are they so clever to get a us one?
in the european firmware 1.1-version the manufacturer has alredy fixed the lame telnetd-root bug and the bootloader. and this is, on what the us-g1-hacks are based on.
i have the hope that some day a local root exploit will apear, which exploits the kernel or another vital component of the g1 to get root without telnetd.
maybe such a kernel exploit will be discovered in the standard linux kernel which can be portet to android; or some great reversing/hacking-debugging-genious-mastermind finds an android exploit all by himself.
android is so new, there MUST be bugs to exploit locally.
Iam a highlevlel-programmer, iam not able to find such local root vulnerabillities.
way to open EU G1

New to this forum, so hello is in order first.
I have a HTC Desire from Vodafone. Had it about 3 months and very happy with it.
Because of the recent Vodafone 360 update news, and the likelyhood that Froyo from Voda will be heavily branded, I have today debranded my Desire to what I understand in the genreic version of Android, 1.21.405.2.
Now I understood that once I had done this I could update straight to 2.2, but my phone isn't having any of it
The process I followed to debrand was, in a nutshell, to get the Android SDK tools, get a Hex editor, create a goldcard, then download and install the following;
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.
Can anyone shed any light on why I can't update to 2.2?
Any help appreciated,
JorB
Have the same situation here, but with T-Mobile "branded" one.
Just two updated were applied and that's all, still on "2.1-update1"
Thanks for any idea/help.
I have the same problem, my phone keeps restarting, it wont let me OTA update it wtf!

Hello mate, i found a solution and successfully update my device to Oreo officially i just changed the CID and MID back to KIDDI japan au and downloaded the marshmallow official flash zip file (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1noyAV4mGLTRNGaXqbdweRHsARWZ9J6LH) and install it by placing it to Mirco SD card after installation i went to software update and updated to Oreo. PS: my device were network locked while i were trying to convert it to international version but after flashing it unlocked automatically probably i flashed the wrong version. let me know in case of any problem.
