[Q] Al little direction...

---

OK here it is. My G1 is currently on version. 1.0 (RC29) stock recovery as well. i have been scanning the forums here and keep finding info with broken links and pages that say they are out dated. Can someone here post me a few links to some current info on rooting and installing a froyo rom (gingerbread was too laggy) the part that seems to get me lost is all the radio, spl, and recovery menu options out there and after 3 attempts at rooting and installing a new rom last night all i could get the phone to do was hang at the g1 screen. so now im back to stock on the phone and will wait on some help before i attempt this again. I used this site to root and hack back when i used the phone for PSFreedom, but it wasnt as cluttered with info overload.

The phone is:

T-Mobile G1 US
Firmware 1.0


PS I already installed Telnet but thats as far as I have gone. And if you can point me to a Froyo rom that is stable and runs without lag I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

ok this guide is easy to follow... [Guide] (8-18-11) G1 How-to: Root, Un-Root & Everything in-between
just folow instructions and i will help you along the way if you need it

ok i did the wipes and everything in the first step but when i get to the google sign in screen the phone shows no signal (usually 4 bars where i am) so i cant get past the google screen to do the next step.

wait you said you were on 1.0 already? so which file did you flash the update.zip? and you cant sign on..?
thats just the update to 1.5 so im not sure why you would have no signal...

no idea either its rooted though i have tried a few roms so far.

GINGERBREAD-DS-Beta-20110716 (hangs at G1 Screen)
cos-ds =07182011 (makes it as far as the bluish android logo and then loops)

will the 1.5 update work with the hboot0013d and the 2708 radio?

when i flashed the 1.5 update (as in the guide) it made it to the google sign in screen and wouldnt let me by, so i reflashed the 1.0 file and got my service back restarted the guide and skipped the 1.5 update the second time.

my fast boot info:


Dream PVT 32b SHIP S-on
HBOOT 1.33.0013d (drea10000)
CPLD-4
RADIO 2.22.28.25
OCT 21,2009,22:33:27

wait no that dont make sense... lol are you trying to root your device?
if you have 28.28 and 0013d than you are rooted and should be good to flash roms.. all you need is to make sure your sdcard is properly formatted and partitioned lol

some roms require an ext4 partition... if you have amonra recovery than go to partition sd options.. choose partition sd and set swap to 96mb and ext to 512mb.. than upgrade ext2 to ext3 than upgrade ext3 to ext4.. than wipe all data, cache, system than flash a rom..

I did all the steps i managed to get it rooted but with the specs of hboot and radio i tried 5-6 roms and none booted up i even tried the SenseLX one with MTD and without, and never made it past the G1 screen i have even gone back to rc29 a few times and started over. this last attempt i decided to just got to 1.6 so i did the upgrades for that (unrooted) and when i hit 1.5 i lost all cell signal again, went to 1.6 and still didnt have it now im back to 1.0 again. im lost on what could be going on.

so your saying you had radio 28.25 and hboot 0013d and you couldn't get the roms to boot?
and that you cant get a cell signal?

-for the rom issue i think it may be your sd card...
-for the signal issue you might need a new sim card... you can get them replaced for free at a tmobile store..

New SD card and sim in phone and attempting this again... ill keep you posted on any progress if any.
