Well I got it sucessfully updated after a night with playing with it. Oh and for some reason my uptime under status says 339211:xx:xx! Anyone else have this?
edit: And now its 340953:xx:xx, this timer is the total time the phone has been on right?

If you want to modify update.zip, just make your change to the zip then run SignApk.jar from AndroidMod.zip on it. You'll need JDK or JRE installed. Syntax is:
Code:
> java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 update.zip update_signed.zipIf you just want to make changes to system folder of G1, connect it to your PC then use this command to remount it as readwrite (change to your android sdk folder if adb isn't in your PATH):
Code:
> adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /systemDon't forget to remount it as ro when you're done.
does this fix the root access to the g1 so only we have access to it. like supershell?
Is there any real benefit to having root? I mean i know the Linux geeks love having full access to their devices, but for your normal run of the mill geek what are the benefits?
I am assuming there will be cooked Androids running around here soon. Is there any other reason for this other then running Linux apps?
I have a replacement G1 that is still using RC19 and I have been hitting update later for 3 days now. I guess i am just looking for a better answer then, we have have root and full permissions to all the files.
When i had my Wing i would change between all the cooked roms but never really got into making my own, being a lazy owner of the device is it worth me using JesusFreke's work when i know i will never end up developing my own hacks?
I guess im just confused if the normal user could benefit from using these hacks.

LOL! You made a friggen chart. Thats great. Im going to point everyone who asks that question to this post lol.
I think the best reason I've found so far is: iptables based adhoc wifi tethering. I can get online from my laptop using 3G or Edge without having any cables or having to have specific software on the laptop. (of course if the device supported proper bluetooth profiles. . .)
For someone who needs to have access for their laptops that is an awesome reason. But i don't have this need, is there anything else?
I am assuming people are working on releasing cooked roms for the G1, will we need to have this hack done to use those roms or are there people working on another hack?
I hate to be left behind, so i root'd!
Anyone know whats on the horizon of being root'd? I read about someone replacing certain parts of Android to make a custom theme. But they said it was very difficult and dangerous. Any easy theme managers coming soon?
Lots of stuff is coming... Keep watching. I know multitouch, auto rotate and custom theming are all being worked on, but will be available only on rooted phones.
Those are some good reasons to root the phone! Can't wait for the themes and hopefully a tabbed drawer!
Hey i noticed last night when i plugged my phone into charge, the screen didn't blur out and show the percentage of the battery. does this have to do with the Modified version?
Just some feedback on the v1.2 of this image. It would be good to strip all of the binaries in xbin/. Not sure if the gains in space can be used elsewhere but I do not think that many of us will make use of the debugging symbols.
6.1M xbin-original
3.8M xbin-stripped
6.1M xbin-original
3.8M xbin-stripped
Console? As if the flow diagram shouldn't be enough... do you mean terminal or cmd or what?

Yeah I don't see a great solution but I was just wondering if my root access would disappear overnight
