How To root/flash/fully customize my G1: anyone in Houston TX? - G1 General

I was wondering if anyone had the time and patience to teach me how to root/flash/fully customize my G1 in person? I'm EXTREMELY new to all that my G1 is capable of, and do not have the time or patience to learn this all on my own.
Now, what I do have is money and a generous heart. If you are willing to meet with me in your free time and teach me what I would like to learn, you can definitely earn some donations for your expert work. I am 100% serious and definitely not wasting your time.
Feel free to contact me here
Thanks

I am absolutely being honest. Thank you for the benefit of the doubt. I totally expected to get flamed in here. But, I had to take a chance.
Now,I tried asking around my circle of friends for help. No luck. I searched Craigslist locally. No luck. I watched Youtube videos to attempt this myself. No luck. I was referred here from Youtube videos and the amount of information was overwhelming and confusing to a non-tech guy such as myself.
I am a hands-on learner and the option of having one of you much more tech-savvy guys, or girls , at my side to guide me through this easily confusing process would be a real benefit.
Thank you to the people that gave an honest response. I will contact you all very soon and the most convenient person will be compensated for their time.

Sorry about that Mike. I tried to read any rules regarding this, and I guessed I missed the rule.
Won't happen again. If I have a similar request, I'll contact a Mod and get their opinion before posting.
Thanks again.

Lol I used to have a CList ad on on rooting G1's in Houston but I moved like a month ago.

Even non-tech there are STEP by STEP guides. Word for word. Action for action. You posting this really shows you just not trying. Sorry, but tech-junkie or not, even if G1 is your first phone you've ever had, if you actually watched all the youtube videos like you said you did and listened to the instructions, you would have been able to do it. It's really easy. VERY easy. If you've ever installed an OS on a computer, you can root a G1.
If you can't root, you don't need to. You will never be able to update your ROM and there's a 85% chance you'll brick your phone somewhere down the road. Also, if you can't do it, you probably don't even know the benefits other than being different.

You have the time. It takes roughly 30min at most to learn. You're just too lazy and unwilling and want someone else to do it for you. Sorry for being blunt, but honestly, if you never learn what you're doing you're not going to get far. You NEED NEED NEED NEED NEED NEED NEED NEED NEED NEED to know how to do it yourself.

Hey, thanks for your assumptions. You're really contributing to this thread.
And I did try, for like 3 days straight. The videos are confusing and differ in instructions. Also, I've never installed an OS on my computer.

Shouldn't being able to make your phone different reason enough? Why do you care why I wanna do it?

I really don't have the time and I am definitely not lazy. I tried my best on my own and I failed. So I thought I'd reach out to a community much better at this than myself to see if they could help. I don't want someone to do it for me. I want someone to teach me how to do it efficiently, so I can mod my phone at will on my own. I didn't think that was too much to ask.
You have a good day sir

Edit: Forgot to put this in here. You've never installed an OS?! Then no, you REALLY don't need to root if you're that bad technically.
You're welcome for my assumptions, if you listen you might save a phone.
Ok, that's exactly my point. If you tried for 3 days straight, which I doubt, and didn't succeed, you don't need to do it. Ever.
They are NOT all different and do NOT all differ in instructions. How do I know this? There's only two ways. One click - or downgrade and one click.
You copy dream.nbh, rflashrec.apk, and recovery.img to your sdcard, hold back and power on. It picks up dream.nbh, you install it. You boot, find a file manager. Navigate to to flashrec.apk. Install it. Open it, type in /sdcard/recovery.img (if that's where it's saved and named) and look at that.
Four lines of text! Would take me 15 min to do at most.

I care because you're just going to end up bricking your phone. You might not, but the chances are highly probable if you can't even do this.

Even with someone teaching you, you're not going to learn. You have hundreds of youtube videos, there's no difference. If you tried, you could do it. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be mean. I'm trying to help you with this. You don't need to root. You don't even know why you want to! Do you understand how much damage you could do flashing the wrong thing?

@watson4279:
Members have provided the steps/procedures necessary to root/flash your device so that you may customize as desired.
Most members will tell you that they all started at the same place as you ... the beginning. Most members will also tell you that time, effort, and dedication is required. If you are not comfortable with the procedures (as you have stated) and cannot spend the time required to figure it out, I encourage you to hold off rooting/flashing your device until you have the time to dedicate to this.

anyone want to help me?

I have a 8525 and I need some help.
two things, I'd like to get WM6 and keep all the stuff I have put on it. second, I have no clue how to set the WiFi.
Now here is my question;
would anyone in Brooklyn, NY care to help me out and do this for me? I'll bring the beer! Just one catch... I don't have a computer.
I hate to make this my first post, but kinda had to.
pretty please with a cherry on top!
Read HERE. It will help you alot.
Also MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS!!!
You're welcome in Holland........
i've done so much reading...
but to be honest, I need someone to show me in person so I can understand.
But thanks for the links, I have already used the search.
my offer for beer still stands for help, I'm willing to meet up within NYC.
I get it... does anyone want money to help me instead of beer?
or is it a trust issue because of I'm new guy here?
I'm sure if you were a blond with a couple of nice boobs you had 20 offers already. But hey sometimes things aren't always as we want it

Wait a minute - no one mentioned boobs before. I'll fly in from Michigan if you need help... oh wait... damn. Misread that. Oh well.
Actually, you may want to PM austnsync - I think he is an NY guy. He may be available or know someone.
You guys crack me up!
sorry but yes i'm a man, although i'm blonde with a shaved/bald head I don't go that way. If you want some boobies I'll gladly put some pictures up
hopefully there will be someone will see this cry for help and offer some.
As for credentials, check out itrca.com's forums. I'm a mod and member there for a long time.
So beer and money is not attractive enough and I can't find any hood rats for you... What will it take to get some help?
(watched ''40 year old virgin'' last night)
You want someone to go to your house and set your phone up with WM6 and whatever else you may want? What if after they have left, you run into some huge problem? Are you then going to ask for someone else to come help fix it? I don't mean to sound like an ass but the stuff you want done is really easy. If not having a computer is a problem, then surely you must have at least one good friend with a computer who will let you set your phone up. If so, here are 3 links that should help a lot.
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/
^ This link is a "how to" install WM6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=355
^ There are newer and better roms in this link here.
Last but certainly not least.. the holy grail of information about anything you could ever want to do to your phone is here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Basically Yes,
I just got myself a new laptop and now I deffinately need help.
I'd be willing to meet up with anyone who knows how to upgrade my 8525 and get the sync working.
I'm not going to hold anyone responsible for messing up as long as it was unintentional
What I'm looking for is some instructional help, show me what to do and walk away.
I really suck at computer stuff, Really suck!
I have looked through those links and to be honest, it's like a different language
Beer, Coffee, money, whatever is needed to get me some honest help.
Or should I just go to GeekSquad and let them have a shot at this?
So not one person needs some extras cash?

i just don't get it?

you know i was just reviewing the tp2 section of xda, the android section i should say. i see they have a port of ubutnu for the phone now. i guess i just don't get as to why you would want it? sorta the same with us hero users wanting to try out debian on our phones? whats the point of it?
if i were a touchpro2 "and i was very briefly" user id want a full port of android like the vogue users had. i mean what zen, dzo & mission were able to do to that dying phone to breath new life into it is outstanding and deserves total respect and applause from all of us.

For anybody that doesn't want to have to read this sentence 10 times to understand it, here's a punctuated and readable version:
If I were a Touch Pro 2 owner, and I actually was for a very brief period, I'd want a full port of Android, much like the Vogue users had.
I don't get what you are trying to say....
@ubuntu, the TP2 has a physical keyboard so ubuntu would be much more practical then on the hero.
@android port for TP2, ummmmm who cares about the TP2? I used dzo's android port for a long time and I greatly respect everything that they have accomplished. It truly is amazing.
I agree.

The sole reason I didn't get the TP2 was the fact it was running WinMo.
WinMo has to be the worst phone UI ever, why the heck would anyone want to use a stylus to navigate the UI. Nevermind the fact I've never heard one positive review of Windows Mobile as far as speed was concerned.

I only read it 7 times.
sorry i was sick as hell yesterday and still am. thanks mr grammar nazi's!
my point was having a port of ubuntu is stupid IMO, id rather have a fully working android port that could be flashed to nand like the vogue users have. got it now?
I dunno if I had a TP2 and then upgraded to something else but still had my old TP2 laying around. I would most likely put something like ubuntu on it for ****s and giggles.
fixxxer,
wow, you've graduated from useless personal opinion posts to starting whole new useless personal opinion threads. Way to go man, you're really making progress. Congratulations.
I might have a couple ideas as to why someone would attempt to run ubuntu, debian or just about anything else on their phone:
1. just because
2. it's a challenge just to see if you can do it
3. It's fun
4. did I mention "just because"
Just a heads up: your frustration over not having the skills to do these things yourself is showing...muffintop

what crawled up your ass? what just because i posted an opinion about that app you helped create? the point of a message board is to create, help and debate. all i did was give an opinion, there is no reason for you to get all worked up. it's not like i said it was useless.
Actually, man, if you leave out the first and last paragraphs and just read his list, he answered your question perfectly. The fact that you don't get it says s lot. This is, at its base, a community of hackers (or hacker wannabes, like me). Half the reason we do ANYTHING with our phones is because we can. Just for the sheer unadulterated HELL OF IT! Kinda like choosing to do themes the hard way yourself, rather than using metamorph. The fact that some of what we do makes our phones more functional is sometimes almost secondary to the feeling of having got your hands dirty and done something yourself. It is the same thing that drives people to DIY rather than just buying the finished product at the store...even when you might have saved a buck and some time just dropping the cash.

In an attempt to bring this thread back around to topic and stop some of the bickering:
The reasons I see for doing something like installing Debian or Ubuntu on a phone are pretty simple:
1. To see what is possible
2. To find out what your are capable of
3. To find out what the device is capable of
4. To do something that no one else around you has done
In other words, why not?

im not dissing it per say but i think a full port of android would be better. i know they pretty much abandoned android for ubuntu and there was quite a few people upset.

Sometimes the purpose is the trip not the destination. That's how I feel about hacking our phones, anyway. 90% of the time, I don't really need to be able to access my desktop and take control of it through VNC, but the fact that I can makes me really happy. I don't need to be able to stream HD movies on my phone, but the fact that I will be able to with the evo has me excited. What color flashes on the screen when i tap an app doesn't really make a flying fvck in the long run, but I like the glassy blue, so I rip into every rom I download and change it. To me, that is the why that answers your initial question. To someone for whom the end functionality is the ultimate goal, the this may not make any sense, but to someone else who enjoys the process of creation and tinkering, the opposite might be true. And in a community of devs and hackers, i think you are likely to find as many or more of the latter than the former.

Fight Thread

I can't believe I'm posting this on XDA, but we really need a fight thread so these young whipersnappers can come in and rant about things that amount to lack of research. In a week we've almost lost two devs, and our curse count is the highest in XDA.
(my2cents)
I know most of the trolling is from first time Android owners who have been "lurking" for years. Only to sign up when they get a bad flash, wipe the sd, or some other common bug. They log on and cry, and moan in the development... DEVELOPMENT, section.
So Im going to post what to expect when trying new roms, modems, kernals, etc.
1) bootlooping
2)full wipe, everything is subject to erase
3)laggy programs
4)whack ass battery life
5)wake problems
6)banding on cam
7)computer with exclaimation point
9)"logcat or it didnt happen"
10)"read, read, read"
So if you are going to grow a pair and try to blame a dev for your flashing woesm save it. The vets here really dont give a damn cause the true vets know adb, odin, and terminal. Vet doesnt mean the amount of posts it meas we were smart enough to read the stickies. (they do say "read first" you know.
No one here is going to hold your hand and say "this is how you flash" for every fukken rom, modem, sys app, and kernal. We arent going to answer the same question a hundred times, hence the search button.
Bottom line, we may all major in engineering, but you have to know your classification. As a freshman its up to you to research and get the remedial answers. sophmores help out the freshmen without hendering your learning. Juniors and seniors answer questions but remember you dont know it all. 5th years, aka devs, make the effort without being an ass. Set the expectation and stick with it.
Make sense? Good. Know your roll and shut your mouths gibronis! Lol.
Edit: please allow 1-2 full days of testing before crying about the OP needs updating. If you have the kinda time to stare at a thread and update an OP instantly, then you already knew there was a problem. If you dont have that time, what makes you think a dev does? (poor saps)

Unfortunately the only people that will see this is the ones that do any kind of research.
Personally Ive bricked a hardware locked phone, that I had to make a jig for after trying everything else under the sun.I read all the disclaimers and knew if anything happened it was my resposibility. The community took pity and took several man hours worth of effort trying to help and i've never been anything but grateful.
So instead of ranting about those that ruin it for us all (though I agree), I'd rather take the time to thank the rest of the community that shows patience and helps, and especially thank the devs that allow us to break our phones in new and exciting ways.
Keep up the good work, and thanks again.

Personally Ive bricked a hardware locked phone, that I had to make a jig for after trying everything else under the sun.I read all the disclaimers and knew if anything happened it was my resposibility. The community took pity and took several man hours worth of effort trying to help and i've never been anything but grateful.
So instead of ranting about those that ruin it for us all (though I agree), I'd rather take the time to thank the rest of the community that shows patience and helps, and especially thank the devs that allow us to break our phones in new and exciting ways.
Keep up the good work, and thanks again.

Both the OP and your post have it both right +1........... There are a number of us who will help people just to help them understand, and what I find appalling is when you do, some are just so selfish they complain...... essentially, that you weren't willing to get on a plane/train or auto and drive over to their house and to a "home call" repair for them..... It's really comical to me that people get a real work of art (the custom ROM) and all they do is ***** that it didn't come with a a beer and fries..............go figure
Also, I see more hostility here than some of the other phone forums, must just be the popularity of this phone.
Both of you great posts.

Pretty much every dev here has left in frustration at some point, fed up with the abuse and bad treatment. This recent episode of someone actually flat out insulting Eugene in his own thread is a new low though.

Wtf are serious? What did he say to eugene and why? He just came back.
You know what I find hilarious? 90% of the ppl here who talk s**t to others on xda wouldn't have the balls to say it to that persons face
^ Ha! Ain't that the truth.

Thank you for everything.

I want to just take a second and say thanks for ALL the support I have received from most of you since I started out here. I realize that Autism and Android were an unlikely pair but I thought it worked well.
Lately there has been an increasing level intolerance for what I was trying to do here. I know it's a vocal minority but they have become louder and louder. I have become quite disheartened as of late with the direction this forum has taken and I'm going to step back for a while. My ultimate goal is to further the spread of Autism Awareness and hopefully get Android4Autism launched by the end of the summer or early fall and so I'm going to redirect my efforts there.
I honestly had the best of intentions with everything I was doing here but it has apparently run it's course. Aside from asking you to "think about donating your old devices for the Android4Autism project (and I specifically said not until after everything was set up and legit so that everyone was protected) and votes, I never asked for anything. Despite the claims that have been made to the contrary about my intentions.
I want to thank everyone for voting for my blog but as you may notice the thread has been moved after being here for over 2 1/2 months. I realize that it was not "on topic" but it was a positive thread. I thought it was amazing how everyone unified and worked together for a common goal. I suspect that the vocal minority contributed to this and that saddens me. I'm not angry this happened, it's just that fact that some people would take it upon themselves to get this removed from our forums after all this time, instead of just not reading it.
I'm not looking for anything out of this. After all you have given to me, I felt I owed you an explanation for my decision. That's the very least I can do. I'll never be able to repay all the kindness and support you have shone to both me and my family. You have all made a difference in our lives. You have helped to spread awareness and for that I will forever be grateful.
Please don't turn this into a flame war either. I'll close the thread myself. I just want everyone to understand how grateful I am for everything and that my stepping back is my choice. My methods are becoming the target for some people and I won't change the way I'm doing things because I believe in what I'm doing. So the best thing is to just walk away. At least for now.
You all know where to find me and I'm happy to help. Please feel free to contact me through my blog or Google+ if you need anything and I will do whatever I can to help you.
Thanks again for everything. I'm very proud of what we were able to accomplish. Please help to keep this community moving forward.
Rob
Keep up the great work , Sir !
Forget about those that complain about everything, what you do is great! Besst of luck to you!

WTG blank HEADS!!!!! another bomb dev/human gone... this is why most ppl stayed at ppcgeeks for so long... tooo much bs and neg energy...
ill miss your work ptfdmedic.. best of luck for you and your growing family!!
Thanks Rob for all that you do. And I hope you don't let this get you down too much. I remember when I first came to this forum and I thought what is this autism stuff all about here but as I took the time to read and learn I appreciated what you were doing and felt it was a great cause. If the bs here isn't worth your time I can hardly blame you. You've been far more generous with it than most would be. I as I am sure most people wish you nothing but the best!

As much as I would like to point fingers at those responsible I will refrain from it because you asked me not to.

Yes, yes you are.
How hard is it to not click on threads about things you're not interested in?
Rob,
Keep up the good work brother! Hopefully things will calm down here while you focus on your rom! I sent you a PM a while back... I may have some connections in the school (if you don’t already). Might help in pushing your rom on a local basis. Stay strong, God bless, and good luck in your endeavors!
From one medic to another... you're alright in my book!

Rob asked us to not turn it into a flaming thread, but you sure don't make it easy. Funny how you have been on xda 2 months, but have only posted 21 times and you choose to post on this... why are you trying to start something?

im not a homer by any means but when my Epic took a swim i was forced to boot my moment up and went back to SDX developers for roms..i REALLY wished the Epic would have caught on over there..just seems like a much better environment....this site has driven away quite a few developers..its a shame..thanks for everything you do rob.not just over here but with your Windows Mobile stuff over at PPCGeeks.if people cant tolerate your Autism Awareness, with all the good stuff you put out for the Epic, then this isnt the place for them..it shouldnt be the other way around...

Just as hard as it is to follow the forum rules. Say for instance that I considered the elimination of homosexualaity a "positive cause". Should I be allowed to push that agenda here at the cost of the owners of the site simply because I think this is a positive agenda? (According to some users, yes...)

Regardless of what Rob has given to us (the community) why does he not have to follow the rules of the forum? Why is it appropriate for him to come and complain that his thread was moved to the correct forum and he is quitting because he disagrees with the opinion of those that pay for and/or manager this resource to be available to us?
@dnathan13: Regarding your comment on my membership length here... What Android software have you developed in your lengthy membership in these forums?
Medic,
I got another one for you, like old times: "The best way to fight negative acts is with perseverance, love and the truth"
Stay the course my friend and don't let nobody tell you lies about the truth you cary...

Fail to see how pointing out that we must play by the rules the owners of this site set is "dumping on someone". It's reality, if you don't like it create your own forum and set the rules...
EDIT: I have nothing against Rob's cause and believe the thread is in the correct forum now...
Rob, I've supported you ever since I heard about you and your cause. You are one of the few members here that has gained my respect. I thank you for *Everything* you've done here.

Really?
I don't believe any HUMAN being would have a problem with autism awareness.
Like comparing apples and oranges.
Smh
Thanks Rob. I've enjoyed reading and learning from you. I've been a member pretty much since the epic launched, lurked and just read alot; lately its hard not to respond to some of this.

Keep that head up Rob we are all still behind you. You showed us a piece of yourself and your family here and became a friend to most of us. Keep in mind one thing, you are dealing with a lot of minors on heee and they cant grasp the idea they are ****ting on you with some of the comments about your intentions. They arent mature enough to see how it comes out. The mature adults will remain on your side.
Never feel you asked for anything or too much. Your community came together to give you what you deserved without you asking for it.
Take a rest man play with those kids, your headed in the right direction with the autism awareness, families will benefit from your sweat!

Unroot OPT6

Hello, I have the 6T phone rotated with the method proposed here. I would like to know in what way I could remove the root and block the bootloader again.
Thank you.
Search
How are you so quick and kind in answering why do not you look for me and write the link? you would be much more useful
It's called the internet:

Try being useful yourself by taking the time to search how to unroot. Honestly, i do not understand how someone goes through the extensive effort to unlock the bootloader and then root just to end up going back to step 1. It isn't that other user's responsibility to go out of his way to research for you. Go into TWRP and flash a stock boot.img.
Use the Magisk manager app to uninstall then reboot, go to TWRP then flash a stock boot.img of your current OOS version.
Don't be stupid next time and criticize someone for not doing the hardwork for you, hell i did it for you because i've got time right now to write this out but do us all a favor first before complaining and do the research yourself.
To call me stupid you could have got your answer where it fits. More stupid are you and the person who answers "Search" It's as easy as that but if you want to answer, DO NOT ANTI-STATE ANSWERS. The thing about being very difficult to rotate and then not knowing how to rotate will be for you, I prefer to reserve myself and not insult you more than what you have done. That said, it is easier to help or try than to insult or help in a derogatory way. You can also shut up and not write if you're not interested. And I ask what I want, nice people.
I'll be more gentle with your feelings

If you want to sit on your keyboard and act like a keyboard warrior because you can't find it within yourself to not be useless then that's on you. I simply said to do some research without coming on the XDA forums and crying wolf because you cannot do something on your own without researching first. I answered your question, i probably did more than what anyone would've done and that's including yourself. Take a moment to realize all of this. I helped you out and you quickly take the time to insult me because i called you out on your bull****, shove that stubborn pride of yours up your ass.
Literally all the time you waited for an answer and the time you took to write out your issue could've been used to try and solve your issue but instead you quickly create a completely new forum for your issue. Worst of all, you didn't even thank me for the reply i made that literally instructs you on how to fix your issue. If i was brief in my reply it's because i am telling what to do without handing you everything, be engaged by looking for a solution, but i nor anyone should or will do the work for you, use the internet because your issue isn't a oneplus 6t problem.
Take care dickhead.
Do you know what I really believe? That you have a problem with your wife, husband or your sexuality. I think you have not gone to the psychiatrist ever in your life and I think you should visit him. Look if you are an idiot that to help me you have only needed 2 lines and you have been writing 100 to insult me ​​and expose your reality. I'll thank you after calling me stupid? You're a nutter that the only love you have is that of your dog and I doubt it. Seriously stop drugs when you write and especially do not drink, that does not feel good. It is just a tip.

The first answer you got, should have been the last one too.
You're nothing more then an empty ego shell with zero abilities.
Someone helped you, say thanks and shut it.

And you are a clown and an imbecile. You can not help insulting. You can not help a person and spend less time helping him than insulting him, but since I see that it is the norm here to insult, I repeat it to you, you are a clown and an imbecile, too.
If you have a little intelligence that I doubt, you will realize that it helps me if, but at the same time it calls me stupid. I'm sure he would not be able to tell me to his face, but he's a coward who says he's writing like most. I REPEAT can not help insulting, I prefer that they do not answer the question to do it but insulting. Do you understand it or do not you understand?
To nobody's surprised, another thread devolving into petty jabs. I love the internet.

From my years spent on XDA, its always suggested that you do the search yourself first, and if you don't find anything then post. And its a pretty good habit, you get to know more things. So just do it.
I agree with you, but do not you think there are ways and means of saying things without insulting? They do not change my help for a insult.
