Hi
I'm trying to root my phone using the guide on the unlockr.com and when I try to downgrade to 1.5 it says "Main Version id Older, update Fail"
What can I do?
Did you do the goldcard method? If yes, your goldcard isn't working and you need to remake it.

WRONG!
Did you install the Superuser app that comes with androot?
If not install it separately and it should fix your problems!
Or install it from androot by changing the options before clicking the root button.
Hi there fellas,
I really tried my hardest to follow the posted guides, and i feel like i followed them to a tee, but i'm still getting the "Model ID incorrect!" message in fastboot
Here's my phone:
PVT - 32A
HBOOT - 1.33.0013
CPLD - 13
RADIO - 2.22.28.25
It's running Android 2.2.1
I basically followed Unlockr/DonJuan's guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734617
I redid the whole goldcard making process at least 5 times with same results.
Is there something i'm missing?
This is the SD card i'm using:

I'll see if i can get my hands on a different one tomorrow, but besides that is there any other advice you can give me?
Thanks in advance guys
I already tried "Universal Androot", "z4root", and "superoneclick". It's a Perfect SLP so i think that's what's causing all the trouble
Use superoneclick root. Simple and quick

I also already tried "Universal Androot" and "z4root" and both have failed
I tried the superoneclick too, and that failed as well. It's a Perfect SLP so i think that's what causing all this trouble
The spl shouldn't matter. On your phone your only choice is the spl you have. Superoneclick worked for me on that kind of phone.. Do you have the sdk installed?

If you have the drivers from the sdk installed then superoneclick should work...

He's on the 2.2.1 update, which means SuperOneClick is probably failing, saying "No space left on device." You can easily manually use the exploit from SuperOneClick to root. If that's not the error your getting, let me know what the error you ARE getting is and we'll work it out.
I'm not sure where exactly it displays the error message, because i don't see one.
It says "All root files have been installed! Would you like to run a test", and once i do that all it says is Test failed! FAILED
I did install the SDK back when i had my G1 so maybe that's messing it up. But i think it should still be in order because i was able to install apps using adb onto my MyTouch
Any luck yet? Did you try restarting the phone after rooting it?

Try Universal Androot. You can find out on the forums here somewhere. Way easier.

Hi all,
I did the True PermaRoot by following the instructions on this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
If I was to use PD15IMG.ZIP to restore my phone, how would it affect the true perma root and the sim unlock?!
Would the phone remain permarooted and unlocked?!

You do loose root but the gfree is still there along with sim unlock as well as eng bootloader.
There is a link in the Rom bible that does it all in one cick

Thank you, I tried finding what you had mentioned, but no luck. Could you please post the link and maybe explain how I would go about obtaining root again...

No worries man... unroot with this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924923
Then reroot here

Thank you!
So if I got it right, I would first unroot and reverse the process of true perma root then use the pd15img.zip to revert to stock then reroot using same procedure, right?
But originally I wanted to know what would happen if I was to go straight to the pd15img.zip and if that would leave the root and unlock and s-off intact?

how do i need to root a t-mobile g1 with android 1.6 DRC83
Easiest way should be using a tool like Universal Androot, otherwise you need to go the long way, i.e. using the Goldcard method.

Hi all
I have a friend who has this phone and it is vodafone branded and would like to make his phone better by rooting and flashing a good rom. Do you have any guides I can follow and suggestions to any good roms? What is the best speed to overclock the processor?

1st step is rooting what version is he using 2.1 or 1.6? I think z4root should work
