If you have 2 update.zip on the sd card at the same time I would assume you have to delete 1 of them. you should get something like ClockworkMod so you can install any zip file without having to change it to update.zip.
File is to big to upload for you but it's in the threads.

spoof rooting

Is there a way to spoof that your phone is rooted so that it can not be detected and you still have the ability to install non-root applications on a rooted android?

Thank you for any input on this.

I could use a bit of help. I got RC29's DREAIMG.nbh file
(per the first page on this thread, under Preparing to Get Root on your Phone) and put it in FAT32-formatted microsd card:

raub@monaco:~/dev/android/G1$ unzip DREAIMG-RC29.zip

Boot in boot loader mode (power + camera button). Got screen showing:

DREAIMG.nbh -

BOOTLOADER -
RECOVERY -
BOOT -
SPLASH1 -
SYSTEM -
USERDATA -
RADIO_V2 -

Press power button
to start update image

Press action button
to cancel update image

I press the power button but screen does not change/react/tell me it is
doing something. I can leave it alone -- and it has been running for 2h --
but I do not know if something is even happening. Is that normal? If not,
what is going on?

[yo9gnc]

come on! this post is pretty old. it was perfect a few years. but now just try "universal androot" application. i think it is on the market, too. one click and you have root right.

what to do
what can i do if the phone does not let me enter settings cause it is stuck on google sign in and can´t go to settings

what version of android ? 1.0 ? 1.1? 1.5? 1.6? for any higher one you have no excuse there is a post with "skipping sign in for no data plan".

Doesn't matter if your rooted, you can install any "non-rooted" app at any time. The only issue is if the app doesn't install, you probably need a newer operating system version. I've just recently started getting message on my rooted G1 running HTCClay's SuperFast 1.6, "Can't install this application on this phone" which I would think has to do with the OS version and/or the phones hardware.
Lot of times these days, devs aren't designing thier apps for the lower android versions.

What about applications that are designed to check if the phone is rooted or not, is there a way to spoof that or fool the application into detecting the phone is manufacturer OS and not rooted with a customized OS?

Thanks for any input.

I just did the downgrade process. When I know try to sign into gmail so I can begin the telnet step, it says it can't connect to the servers. I did not have any issues using the phone before this. What can I do?

 

[SirJangly]

Anyone?

 

[shadowch31]

Anyone?

Come speak to me on irc and I'll see if I can help you, easier than chatting in here.

 

[yo9gnc]

Anyone?

do you have apn configured (menu key->settings on the signin screen)? and what`s the target? what do you want to do ? and why did you downgraded? you know, that that`s not the easiest way to root your phone, anymore. so, you may upgrade it from developer.htc.com signed rom until android 1.6 and then root it using universal androot.
then, flash recovery/radio/spl/custom rom.

Up to date help?

I've done a lot of reading here guys, and I'm struggling.

A couple of months back, I rooted and flashed my UK Hero - Androot, recovery from terminal, and flashing a ROM and kernel from recovery. Nice and easy. Now I'm looking to do my wife's G1 and either I'm missing something, or there's not a noob howto, or it's a PITA. Anyone point me in the right direction please?

Actually, should mention, it's a UK T-Mo G1, RC92. I think my main sticking point is do I need to downgrade before Recovery and flash? Androo worked fine on the G1...

 

[mefiho]

i have htc dream with built number DRC92.. what i have to do when i want root some new rom..?

 

[aneeqsohaib]
