ADP1.5 to HERO Help..gtalk/AIM

---

Hello, I am trying to go from ADP1.5 on my G1 which has the latest radio to a HERO rom.

First you need the latest Radio and SPL, Follow this

To install:

Things you need:

New SPL - Download
New Radio - Download
Your Current ROM - CyanogenMod 3.6
SD Card Reader
Rooted G1 Phone
Computer
USB Cable
Patience

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Install Radio FIRST

Download the Radio Update
Rename it to update.zip
Remove your SD Card from your phone and place it in your SD Card Reader
Put the update.zip at the root of your SDcard (root = not in any folder)
Insert your sdcard back into the phone
Turn off your phone (Hold power and press Power Off)
Hold the Home button and then press the power button (Keep holding power)
You will now enter recovery
Open up your keyboard and press Alt-S
Let it finish the update
When done reboot by pressing Home and Back
You should be able to access your Home screen (If its stuck on the Google G1 screen dont panic, just remove your battery for now)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Installing the new SPL

Note: To update you must have a PVT board. To Check go into fastboot (Power and Camera and check) Thanks persiansown

Take your SD Card out again and plug it into the pc
Remove the update.zip that you put in there
Download your current Rom or any other ROM that you want. I suggest CyanogenMod 3.6
Download the SPL Update
Rename the SPL Update to update.zip
Remove your SD Card from your phone and place it in your SD Card Reader
Put the update.zip at the root of your SDcard (root = not in any folder)
Insert your sdcard back into the phone
Turn off your phone (Hold power and press Power Off) or put your battery back in and turn it on
Hold the Home button and then press the power button (Keep holding power)
You will now enter recovery
Open up your keyboard and press Alt-S
Let it finish the update
Now it will reboot on its own back to recovery
Reboot again by pressing Home + Back
Your phone will be stuck on the T-Mobile G1 Screen (Again DONT FREAK)
Remove the battery from your phone
Remove your SD Card and plug it back into your computer
Take the ROM that you downloaded and rename it update.zip
Remove the update.zip that was on your SD Card and put this new one it
Put the battery back into your phone
Enter recovery (Home + Power)
Press Alt+s to update
Let it finish
Press Home + Back to reboot
Thats it! You now have your new SPL and Radio


Then you need to partition your SD CARD, follow this guide here

Make sure you have root before doing all of this. When you are done with both these things, you can install hero. Just download a hero rom, rename to update.zip and wipe and flash. It has auto apps2sd so as long as you have your sd card partitioned you are set.

Great, thanks for the help. This is where i got.

I already have the new radio so i moved on
I noticed that I will need an SD reader which i do not have at the moment so i skipped the spl update.
I then decided to update the sd card for apps to sd, but when i entered wget it said the command wasnt found. I think that on ADP1.5 it is not available but on JF's it is. So it looks like i will have to switch over to JF's build to prep apps to sd

first of all, you HAVE to update to the the latest SPL or the ROM will defenitly not work. You can mount your SD card through recovery and use adb instead of getting a card reader. As for wget, i suggest switching to JF or cyanogen becuase they both have that command

Hah !!
I did it, I've been reading all these posts for weeks trying to familiarize myself with all the terminology and opinions on the best way to do eveything and what ROMs are best etc etc, then I found your guide and I realized I could now understand what you were saying to do, Went to the store bought a class 6 msd card and went for it, Im now running Cyanogens 365 mod and its WORKING !! Woohoo !! Its noticeably faster the then the cupcake or jf1.51 alone. I'm thoroughly stoked and rather proud of myself right now.

creating the ext2 partition is next up. The link you provided isnt as noob friendly as I had hoped so I'll keep lookin around, but I'll get there I think.

Thanks Nephron for posting such a plain english version of what so many big brain ppl spent time developing. Very Cool !!

Karma

i made another guide to create an ext2 partition without much hastle. Try it out its in my sig. Congrats on getting everything working. Please put [Solved] infront of your title. Thanks

Thanks, that looks alot easier.
I did'nt start this thread so I did'nt think it was my place to put solved since I dont know if the original poster got his to work.
