i am clueless to this whole android thing..ive read all the threads and im still

is it possible that some one can write a step by step guide as to how to install the RC30 patched update...

im dieing to get it and ive pretty much gona cross eyed from all these forums...i justy cant seem to figure it out..

thanx in advance

First you must Flash JesusFreke special signed recovery

Things you need to have and do
the debugging drivers,Android SDK, AndroidMod
(You must do it through adb shell so you need 32-bit OS)

Put your device into USB debugging mode(thats in settings/applications/development)

Connect your device with your PC

When it asks for driver location (were you put it)

You'll see sth like "HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface" on success

the drivers are in the attachments

to download Android sdk go here http://code.google.com/android/download.html
and Androidmod here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443041

ALL WITHOUT THESE""

AT the root of your hard drive put AndroidMod folder ex."C:\Androidmod"
and from the sdk copy "adb.exe" and "AdbWinApi.dll"(it's in tools) and put them in there.(C:\Androidmod)

Now go to run and type "cmd", now when the command prompt pops up navigate to "C:\Androidmod" by doing
"cd C:\Androidmod"

Once your in there type "adb shell" then

"mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system"

"cd /system"

"cat /data/local/recovery.img > recovery.img"

"flash_image recovery recovery.img"

"reboot"



Tada how do you feel?

To check if this was done properly hold "HOME" and "Power" to get in to the recovery Menu
when you do press "Alt + L" it should say "using test keys"

Now that thats out of the way the easy part comes
download JesusFreke Modified RC30 - full version rename it to update it should look like this "update.zip"
put that on to the root of your sdcard

Restart your device holding "HOME" and "Power" to get in to the recovery Menu, when you do, press "Alt + L" read and then press "Alt + S"

tell me how it went

What exactly is the benefit of putting the modded update on the G1? besides root...

I think the whole point is root.

I'm new but I think rootseems to give programmers the ability to do whatever they want to their phones. Kind of like a puppet and gives more freedom to do innovative and creative apps and other programs and not have someone cap their enthusiasm about "open" platform google is always ranting and raving about.

Also, everyone thank JesusFreke for being the great helper and hardworking guy he is to help us all out who are not as knowledgeable about the entire process.
