Switch from rc33 to 1.5 (6.0 rom) - G1 General

hey i was wondering if theres a step by step on how to switch from jf 1.42 rc33 to 6.0 rom safetly and avoid bricking my 2nd g1

Sure is. First post of the thread. You need to check:
Board type
Flash radio
Flash spl
Flash rom
There are currently atleast 5 thread on the first page with all the info you will need. Feel free to use the search button if need be.
Also, please ATLEAST read the first page of all of the sticky'd threads.

well im sorry just a lil confused seeing as if i just bricked my g1 and got lucky getting a replacement. there are several post where people brick their phones by doing the steps from what you have seen on my last post i should be good to go and flash 6.0 right ?

If you arent sure, then dont do it. Read, and when you have read it all, read it again.

Hey... just hold camera and power until you see the red blue and green line..
once there look at the top of the screen and see if it says dvt or pvt.
proceed at your own risk if its pvt
proceed with EXTREEEME caution if its dvt because its know to brick alot with dvt
then go here and follow EVERYTHING IT SAYS STEP BY STEP and you should be fine. Post again after you have successfully flashed 6.0

How confusing is it round here?

Sorry, this is not really a serious dig but I feel I should make you all aware (tounge in cheek) how bloody confusing everything is around here.
I spent the last 12 hours searching for all the info required to update an athena that'll be arriving on my door step some time today but I'm still no closer than I was after my first 30 mins searching.
I've found 2 different unlockers but can't find anything about which is required or best. Just loads of posts from people bricking their devices.
I've chosen which ROM I want to go for but it does not include the radio.
I've just found the thread containing radio 1.50 but this wasn't sticky'd or anywhere near the top of the search results.
What order do I do everything in? The ROM thread says radio first but is this before or after unlocking?
I'm sure I'll suss all this out no problem once my device is in hand but why can't everything be done in one hit (unlock, radio & ROM) like every other rom I've used. And a nice set of instructions as you go.
I appreaciate some radio's work better for some and not others but the ROM "recommends" 1.50 so why not include it? Ditto for the unlock.
Please don't take this the wrong way I'm just worried how other people may find it round here. I'm not a novice. I've had just about every HTC device going over the last 6 years, all have been unlocked, flashed with different radios and roms and with each one you'll find all you need to know in one place (usually in a read me.txt of each rom or stickied at the top of the forum) but I don't ever remember being so confused as I am now and if I'm confused then god knows what a newbe would make of it all.
This is the Unlocker you want to use first:
Just backup your data, take some time, fully charge your device, take out the SD Card an follow the instructions:
(Turn off all energy save settings on your computer)
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Athena/Unlocker/AthenaUnlocker.zip
This is the newest version of the Black Touch Rom:
http://athenaproject.logontek.com/AP3.0Final/AP Dual 3.0.rar
An here are the Addons (optional):
http://athenaproject.logontek.com/AP3.0Final/AP Dual 3.0 ADDONS.rar
Finally update your Radio:
http://rapidshare.com/files/52469650/Radio_version_1.50.00.00.zip
worth mentioning that the radio upgrade hard resets your device so install your addons and stuff after you've done it.
In a nutshell though what he said.
Just check if your device is x7501 or x7500 as there were two unlockers previously.
If I remember correctly this is all explained in first post of unlocker thread. (its a while since I checked)
I agree that things are widely scattered here, but after keeping up on daily posts in the Athena sub-forums for a while it all becomes clear. As mud on some days... (grin).
Thanks mojo, I had those exact files unzipped and ready to go.
Like I said guys, it's not me I'm worried about I wasn't asking for help as such... its those newb's.
Anyway, don't take it the wrong way was just a bit of constructive critisisum.
P.S. Dam postie didn't show after all that
Thanks guys.
This post was the exact thing I was looking for. I'm going to flash my Advantage right now!!!!!!
OK I did it! Was a little touch and go there for a few minutes, but I got it. Damn I was scared for a few minutes, thought I f'ed up a expensive PPC.
Congratulations cib911.
I've literally just got it off the post man, opened the box and started modding
All good so far, unlocked, 1.50 radio and AP Dual ROM.
Just gotta get used to this amazing screen... humm now which dpi is best???
I keep mine on 96 all the time.
I suggest such help should be definitely moved to wiki.

As the whole point of a wiki is that anyone can edit and add to it, feel free to go ahead and do just that.
done:

Actually, I also couldn't find the stuff that I need in the wiki. Don't get me wrong guys, I came from the Atom group. Wiki and everything is considerably better. I wish there's something we can do to make it better. Frankly, we are only a few among all PPC users so technically, it should be easier to put some order into things. Thanks!

this is from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Athena_UpgradeProblems
I'm going to enjoy my newly acquired device as it is for sometime before I upgrade to PK ROM. Otherwise, I have no basis for comparison. Untill now, I've only got wktask and realVGA installed.
Anyway, is there any speed difference between the different version of PK ROM?
I'd need some time to digest all the posts in this forum before making this big decision. Don't want to brick my darling.
Looking at the post earlier posted, I just downloaded and was about to push began, and now I have to figure out do I have the right unlocker for my device. I have the Unlocked x7501 Advantage!
I downloaded the unlocker from the earlier post....am I good?
I was just about to begin!
Let me add to this....I want to keep my same radio from the HTC original ROM....Do I need to do steps 2 and 3 in the unlocking process or can I skip that?
Thanks Dannyboy! I needed this thread!
And thank you mojo2000, that was good order and clarity! I cant wait to flash!
concerning my post about the missing file in rapidshare, it's now up and working.

Yes the one less 0 is ok, I think it might be a typo in the first post, I dunno...my US Tmobile unit says PB81120.
Does yours have a carrier label on the case or on the ROM maybe? I'm not sure what "NM" means, but it sounds to me like you have the euro or the Telstra version, and not the Tmo US version.

Can anyone point me in the right direction so i can learn how to flash CM6?

Ive had my HTC Magic (Rogers with HTC sense and 32A) for just over a month now and ive been really looking forward to hacking my phone and putting all those nice custom roms.
But the thing is, i cant seem to get a proper understanding of what the heck i do first. Ive been searching for a while and all i seem to find are guides for already experienced users. All the "easy to read" guides are out dated and seem to be for the other magics and not the Rogers one for HTC sense.
So since hte new CM6 Froyo rom is out for the magic, i figured ill actually make a topic this time and try to figure out what to do. If anyone can offer me some help, it would be greatly appreciated!

I'm in the exact same boat here, I've got a Rogers Magic with the same radio + SPL.
From what I've gathered, this guide seems to be what applies most closely to us: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream/Magic32A_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod#6.35.x_Radios
(sorry as new user it won't let me post a real link )
I would love to get Froyo on my phone too, as waiting for Rogers to release updates is proving to be very frustrating (and surely they will be polluted with garbage Rogers "apps" anyway).
I've still got just over 2 years left on my contract and can not really afford to brick my phone, so anything I try I'll have to be pretty confident that it should work :S. Let me know if you find anything further zoltrix, I'll be sure to do the same!

Hmm, well that looks alright. Im sure its a lot harder than it seems. Ill give it a go once some advanced android users can confirm that's what we need to do.
Thanks for the link!
Alright well i tried to setup adb which led me here:
www [dot] mydigitallife [dot] info/2009/08/24/workaround-for-htc-hero-sync-problem-in-windows-7/
now i tried playing around with HTC sync, and now my phone does nothing once connected via usb to my laptop.
I get no notification telling me i need to mount my sd card. I tried different cords, different ports and different computers. Tried fooling around with the settings on my phone and i still get nothing.
What did i do?!
Same boat as the guys above. I have experience in rooting the g1 but this mytouch 3g uses different radios and spl's from what I'm used to and I wanna make sure I upgrade it correctly and not brick the phone. If someone could just post a quick step by step that on how to upgrade to CM6 it would be much appreciated! BTW I have already rooted the device and managed to get CM 5.0.8 up and running but after I flashed CM6 the device just sits on the Mytouch screen.

nice links. which should i lookat first? the ones posted by black_box or the ones posted by tbrummell?
Also, anyone know why my phone wont promt me to mount the sd card when i plug it into my computer anymore?
i was thinking about doing a factory wipe incase i messed up a setting, but i dont know how to back up my data!
zoltrix, I got mine rooted and a 2.2 ROM up and running!
Essentially I followed this guide: rootyourmagic32a.blogspot.com/2010/04/root-htc-magic.html
Is it pretty much identical to the steps in the "6.35" section of the guide I posted in my earlier post (except it continues further to revert radio down, which I didn't want to do with the ROM I chose.)
The toughest parts for me really were getting the goldcard created (the process itself wasn't difficult, but it didn't work properly until the 3rd SD card I tried using), and getting HTC Sync to connect properly while try to run the RUU update.
I chose the FroyoRider 0.6 ROM - everything seems to be working pretty well except the is no support for the camera/video recording, hopefully that will come in a later version.
Just figured I'd let you know since we've got identical phones and it can be hard to find relevant information on these forums without digging around for hours. If you have any questions/problems let me know I'll answer the best I can.
alright man, good to hear!
ill def do it as soon as i get my replacement phone
my usb port only charges and refuses to transfer data..
woo, i got my replacement.
i'll probably try to root it this weekend
Just a question, but is a Nandroid backup the same idea as an OS image on a computer? Once you restore the image/backup its back to how it was befor any changes?
And can i make a nandroid backup before rooting anything or installing a new rom?
Yes, Nandroid is similar to taking a snapshot image of a pc with Ghost or Acronis, or something similar.
Here is a new procedure to root, looks damn simple too:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_911_Patched
No, you cannot take a Nandroid image until you have the custom recovery installed. And once you do that your phone is wiped and the original OS is gone.

Wow i was literally just bout to use the goldcard method. I made the card and anything.
Ill follow that. Thanks! Also, now that i have the goldcard made, i can still use it as a normal SD card right? OR should i reformat it first?
I'd reformat it first.
Cool
Also, can you someone look over that wiki link and confirm its correct for a ROGERS Magic? Im reading about it and comparing to the Blogspot tutorial and they use two differnt eng spl's?
EDIT: It also has a part telling me to "COnfirm i have the 3.x radio" when in fact, all Roger's magic's have 6.x
SO i posted the same question in the topic about the new hacking method and this is the response i got:
ezterry said:
Good thing the process is for the DREAM not the magic.. because otherwise I'd be doing something really risky installing a 1.33.* SPL with the 6.x radio..
If you want to root the magic either use the signed leaked rom with a gold card like every one else:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5526163&postcount=1
Or be a dare devil and risk the Magic (w/ 6.x radio) version of the exploid hack:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7340733&postcount=306
(In theory it will get root.. the question is did I miss something in the process having not used a rogers magic myself.

So, do NOT do that if you are using hte Magic because it is for the Dream. Instead use hte gold card.

[Q] Custom ROM upgrade

This past week I installed Android 2.2 on my 1024 HTC HD2 (T-Mobile US) using the Video Tutorial by Tech Burrow and FAQs. I used the Android NAND ROM linked under the video. Everything is working ok and I've been reading the forum and debugging for the past few days...
*this is the first time I've done any type of software modification for phones
Today I clicked on the "NAND Bible" post and the "CleanDROID v2.55" is looking like a better option since I don't use Facebook and all that other stuff that comes preinstalled. I'd be happy to dump all the bells and whistles for something cleaner and faster, with more disk space. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10675863
On the Wiki page for HD2 it says "Try not to flash Custom ROMs unless they say that they're definitely compatible with the 1024LEO, or You'll be sorry!"
My Questions:
1) Is this ROM safe for my phone?
2) If so, is it worth it to perform this upgrade? I'm not familiar with all the technical specs, and don't want to "fix something that ain't broke."
3) If so, for install can I just follow #3 of the Guide [For Newbs]?
Many thanks!
Note as said by a members siggy
If you don't want to void your warranty, you're visiting the wrong site.
I don't know if it is safe as I can't understand the coding to linux. but if you can, his source should be stated and you can check it to see if it is safe.
worth the upgrade isn't something we can tell you for we know not of your current status. E.g what works and what doesn't work for you.
I don't know what is step 3 of the guide. But if you know how to install, then install.
Note your questions really don't even need a thread for, these could be done by searching the forums through the search button or even manually. So next time, do a little thinking for yourself first, it helps your brain from rotting. No harsh feelings.
Hmm I've already installed a ROM so not really worried about voiding my warranty at this point.. more worried about bricking my phone..
Well if you had done even more reading, you'd know HSPL is a software prevention of bricking your device. So the only way to brick your device now is through hardware.

Hey mate the best rom for you if you like sense is the core droid rom look in nand builds. if your looking for gingerbread without sense i would say ultimate droid. but please read before flashing through dft or flashing through clock work mod. and only way your bricking the phone is if you flash wrong radio or rom to it. both of the roms i stated are fine for tmous hd2's have fun modding your hd2 and welcome to xda
Thanks Rotary, will check those out.

Dude, your asking for trouble on this one, see when you started this thread did you notice the the list of similar threads that comes up?
Its been asked time and time again and some folk on here can get very very vocal when people keep asking the same questions without looking at the quite obvious theads and stickies detailing what you need to do
Another question, have you searched at all? ok i see the search function is still down so will let you off that one, but there are various stickies at the top of the Q&A section for WP7 that will help
Im not going to detail everything you need to do, but i will give you a basic list, you can find everything you need either on the stickies on the various HD2 forums, or in the Wiki, remember most of what you need to do before you even think of installing WP7 is on the standard HD2 forums.
Anyhow, here goes, (note whilst you cant search on xda developers you can (and i always use this because its much better) seach via google, use strings like "XDA DEV LEO install HSPL")
first things first you need to unlock the device, so you will need to find and follow the directions for installing HSPL
you will then need to install the correct Radio, if you have the TMOUS 1024MB HD2 you must be very careful as flashing incorrect Radio will give you a brick, most HD2s are not this version unless you live in the states. search the HD2 WP7 stickies to find out which radio
then you will need to install the MAGLDR 1.13, use google if the XDA search is nackard, search for strings like "XDA DEV LEO MAGLDR install how to"
once thats taken care off your ready for WP7, boot to MAGLDR and get it ready for a USB flash and away you go.
Im not doing this to be rude, because i could have just as easily wrote down eveything you need to do, im doing this to help you, if you read the threads you will "learn" whats going on, you will see some of the issues other people have had and you will see how they fixed them, me telling you what to do wont teach you anything and you will be back on here starting new threads about something equally well documented.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923997
note, its very unlikely you will brick your device, unless you have a 1024MB version and flash the wrong radio, more often that not, when people report bricked devices they simply have to go to boot loader mode and flash a new ROM, a stock ROM would put you right back to a factory default, radio and all. so dont panic about that, there is also the SD card flash if you cant do it via USB for any reason, but in all my years ive never had to do that.
oh an use a class 2 or 4 SD card, might not work but its a better chance than others.
Hey sorry about that, I tried searching as mention by you which didn't work. I thought the stickies threads was just rules, didn't know it includes links.
Also where can I find these radios on xda instead of some other website?
Also what's the difference between 512MB and 1024MB? Well of course it's double memory.
My phone is from UK, so i guess it's a European model?
I know I could search for these information but I thought this might show up on google search for other newbies. Thank you for helping me
1024=Tmous=USA
512=Rest of the world so you have a 512 (rom , not ram)
You can find all radios in the wm6.5 dev section (HD2 is a wm6.5 phone after all ^^ )
two words mate,
read up.

good luck!
Look, if you have questions then ask but make them specific, like the two you just gave and the radios arent on a very obvious location as ^ has mentioned, if its a UK phone you have nothing to worry about, WP7 cant use the extra 512MB of ROM anyway
remember though, google is your friend!
try search for "XDA DEV LEO radios" on google without quotes
the one you want will be the first thread or if not it will be within the top 5 XDA DEV results
same for HSPL and MAGLDR
if you get stuck youve had a look about an cant find what you are looking for then drop a question, an just say, look ive tried this this and this but im buggered if i can work it out, can you guys help
and perhaps once your done you could give complete step by step guide including all links and downloads, because your right, its not all in one place but it is all there.
One thing you MUST NOT DO is use a USA Raido to update your 512 HD2 cause you will brick your phone and it's gone till you find someone who can jtag your
phone and fix it which will cause you alot of money. Make sure you read up before
trying anything.
WP7 is quite tempting, I agree.
Though, I must admit, I'd be a little wary about installing it, as it seems like it's still quite new.
If you want to give it a shot though, I recommend picking a build out of those listed here, and reading through all the instructions and comments before deciding to install it.
Also, before you try anything, be ABSOLUTELY SURE your stuff is backed up. I can't say how many times I've lost things on my phone because I've accidentally updated a ROM without say, backing up my contacts.
I now use Google Sync to keep all my Windows Mobile and Android contacts backed up, so this doesn't happen.
I'd recommend setting up a google account, and following these instructions to backup your contacts with your google account prior to trying anything.
Anywho, bestest of luck!

europe can flash 2.xx.50.xx and 2.xx.51.xx on 512mb UK version
ok, since this is the only thing that can give you a really bad day
download this radio here
http://www.multiupload.com/QP0IWGY42F
you will find everything you need about radios on this thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
The directions are on that link above but basically you will also need to get two other things
Custom RUU, found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4798017&postcount=1
that is the flashing program its self, when you download a radio it wont have an installer, it will be just a single file, you will need it to flash any WM6.5 ROM or radio but usually the ROMs will have one included.
HSPL, found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5279234#post5279234
this is the really important bit, this "unlocks" the device and gives you a layer of protection should you screw it up, which is most unlikely anyway download the attached file in post number 4, its the most recent and covers pretty much anything
righty once you have all that on your PC in a nice easy to find location its time to start modding it!
HSPL first, download the program and follow the instructions on the HSPL thread, which is more or less, run the program with your phone connected and charged up, IF it cant do it then it will tell you. For WP7 you MUST install HSPL2.08 when prompted.
once done, you will not notice any difference.
now follow the directions for installing the radio you downloaded use the CustomRUU, firstly extract the file then rename the extracted file to "RUU_Signed.nbh" and flash with the CustomRUU by just placing them both in the same folder (no other files in there) and running the customRUU
THAT is the hard part done, next is MAGLDR, let us know how you get on with that

Mr Philo have you got your activation code for WP7? Just dont waste your time flashing WP7 until you get a code from Microsoft.
And yes the search engine on here is not very good, but as the others said use Google.
Also when I started using XDA, i spent loads of time reading through most of the threads. And yes I read a lot before I even started to think about flashing.
But we were all Noobs, and we will help you out when you get stuck?
Also go to this thread for all info :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971478
Hey guys thanks for all the information! I just downloaded all the files that are needed and named them step by step in a folder.
First I can't check what SPL version I have. I did hold down the lower volume button down, but it only brings me to the 'vibrate, silent etc adjustment' (Yes i was holding it for 20 seconds). And it says do a reset, while holding down?? How can I do that. Sorry I know im failing already !
EDIT: Flower thankyou for the thread, but I was using it as well ! But its just the SPL bit im confused at :\
Oh yeah, I have already got a code yesterday from the UK Microsoft, was very easy
Start in bootloader mode. Shut down the phone / push and keep the vol down button and press the power button once...and wait 5s
Edit: Just saw its already answered above

Thanks, my SPL is 3.03.000!! So I need to flash a ROM or something to get SPL 1.42.0000?
I currently don't have a SD card with me right now as I left it at home and will be going home next week. So is there anyway I can flash a ROM without using a sd card?
You need to flash an old rom to get an old spl, then flash HSPL 2.08.
No need for a sd for this, juste start your phone in BL mode and execute the ruu from your pc
Which ROM should I download from the HTC website? I mean theres a few ROMs for HTC HD2.
Theres ROM Upgrade for HTC HD2 - 2010-10-11
ROM Upgrade for HTC HD2 - 2010-01-25
etc?
Sorry for all the questions !
I used this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944995 (the Standard Version) as it already have the phone unlocked etc and have no problems with it...and had no problems activating it as well. However a lot of the other ROM's now also have your phone already unlocked etc...and most ROM's at the moment should be pretty similar as it uses the same base files.
Edit:
However...on this ROM...one of the first XAP files you should load is the Connection Setup.xap
