UK OTA for 1.5 on a JF ADP 1.5 Rooted phone?

Ok...
So I woke up this morning to an update request on my UK T-Mobile G1. However, I've been running JF ADP 1.5 rooted build for at least a week!
If you click on details is says that it is a bootloader update, that will then be followed by a further update. This leads me to believe that my bootloader is not up-to-date?
I have had a look around, but am a little confused, as I previous installed the JF RC9 1.43, which included the bootloader (or the version before did).
On going into the recovery utility - it appears to have reverted to a 'standard' bootloader one (e.g. with triangle with !). I have re-installed the Engineering Bootloader, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference (don't know if it didn't install correctly!)
Anyway, anyone got an idea of how to stop the network update message?

The triangle with the ! is the recovery screen, the boot loader is either the rainbow colours or the skating androids.
My phone is running the eu 1.5 gfh firmware and I'm getting the same update. I think it's trying to put back the rainbow boot loader with fastboot support.

So i'm clearly getting confused...
When I go into recovery mode (e.g. Home + Power) I used to get a JF console, now I get triangle !
I was just trying to guess at what had changed... All I really want is the update message to disappear!

The change would be to the boot loader
see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455860

Ok - so I've tried:
1) Re-doing the Bootloader
2) Re-installing the update (JF ADP 1.5)
3) Re-installing (or installing for the first time) the 1.5 radio from HTC website
Still keep getting the update request... I'm out of idea's! Any further suggestions more than welcome...

I have a US G1 but if i was you i would do the whole rooting process over again download the RC7.NBH rename it DREAMIMG.NBH redo the root hack than install JF ADP 1.5.
Thats your best bet
The how to is here

:-(
Unfortunately, that's pretty much the only thing I had thought of too...
But I haven't received any updates since rooting (e.g. since Dec) - so am not convinced that it will solve the problem.

help! i'm stuck! (with generic 2.1)

Hi, i have a problem, I need some help solving it.
I have branded Hero (G2 Touch) on T-Mobile. Being tired of waiting for T-Mobile to release their branded 2.1, I followed some instruction on this board and installed generic 2.1. Sadly, the instruction used the RUU for directly installing 2.1 and I did this^^
When I try to install an old 1.5 RUU (t-mobile or generic) I always get the error 140 bootloader version.
I then tried the rooting method, now I managed to install the Amon Ra's Hero Recovery and that works quite good, as I now can use nandroid again (I couldn't do since the 2.73 update).
I managed to restore some backups that were on 1.76, and I had android 1.5 installed again, but still I couldn't install the 2.73 RUU, still getting the bootloader error.
Now, either somebody can tell me how to install the RUU, so I can get back to original t-mobile ROMs and can use OTA to get from 2.73 to android 2.1,
or, somebody could send me a nandroid backup with 2.73 installed.
there might be another possibility: I extracted the rom.zip from the T-mobile 2.73 RUU and tried installing it via recovery... I got an error while opening the file (bad).
has anybody an idea how to solve my problem? pls don't tell me 'install custom roms' i heard that often enough and simply don't want to (though I might give it a try as soon as working sense 2.2 ROMs are ready)... i want to get back to official T-Mobile ROMs
thanks

You'll need to use this guide (http://villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=375) to make a goldcard, and downgrade using the HEROIMG.zip method (google it)

it doesn't work... I took the rom.zip, renamed it HEROIMG.zip and put it on my sdcard.
hboot finds it, loads it and then says "Main Version is older! Update Fail! Do you want to reboot device?"
what can I do now?

Have you checked to see if your goldcard has definitely worked?

it definitively is a goldcard, as I used it to install generic ROM on T-Mob device... still doesn't work now... but the problem is not that I try to install a ROM that's not meant for my device (thats what I understood goldcard does), but the problem seems to bee the bootloader-version the 2.1 RUU brought.
what can I do now?

Same thing happened t me a while back, I just re-tried every step from scratch and it worked the third time...!

what exactly did you do then? I tried so many things, at least I want to know, which steps to repeat over and over again

Just going to have a look at it for you, I am going through the processes as we speak so if I find a solution I will post back.

I want to get back to 2.73.111.26 (that is a T-Mobile ROM) so I can apply official T-Mobile OTA updates (by the way, I managed to get to VillainROM 12.0 yesterday, but went back. I want to use official ROMs...)

"Rogers" Dell streak stuck on Dell Logo.

Hey there,
I realize there are a ton of posts about the Dell Streak being stuck at the dell logo and I've spent hours trying to read through them and try each issue.
My issue is that I'm stuck at the dell logo. Earlier today i was bored with 1.6 and was about to update to 2.1 and then eventually 2.2.
Everything went smoothly, and i was quite impressed, until i realized my SIM wasnt being recognized after i did the official O2 2.2 upgrade. I'm using a rebelsim so i thought it would work? :/ regardless, I decided it was in my best interest to just go back to 1.6 until i had time to try to get dj_steve's working. In the process of trying to revert back, i'm stuck at the logo. I even tried doing a nandroid restore from a fellow with a rogers backup on this site and I end up getting and error "Error while formatting DATADATA: !". When i try to boot the device, same old stuck logo...
I'm really out of options. i've spent hours upon hours trying so many different things and could really use a hand. If it helps, i'm on the Telus network on a Rogers streak. Before all this, everything was working except MMS.
Thanks in advance, all!
Chris

After many, MANY hours, I believe I've fixed it. Although it seemed my Streak had nothing, and I thought i had wiped it..., the only thing that worked was downgrading back to the 8105 2.1 build, which sucks in my opinion... but at least my phone isn't bricked anymore.

I am experiencing this problem. I was @ 2.2, then attempted to downgrade back to 1.6 as Rogers has released their official 2.2. Going from 2.1 Build 8105 to 1.6 Build 4399 seems to have screwed me up.
I am unable to get past the boot screen. I tried reloading the 2.1 and the 1.6 build but to no avail. HELP!!!

OK, got myself out of the stuck @ Dell Logo/Stuck at black screen during update.pkg jam.
Just QDL the sucker.
Now, how do I install the official Rogers 2.2 update after using the QDL tool?
Can I just download and install, or what do I need to do to revert back to some version to be able to install the Official Rogers 2.2 update?

Some have reverted all the way back to 1.6. There is this solution offered at Modaco.
I have an unlocked Streak, so no experience with either method.

[Q] Rooted Wildfire updated to Froyo 2.2.1, now stock Recovery doesn't work.

Hi,
I had rooted my Wildfire using Unrevoked 3.2.1 and was using Paul Brian's MCR ROM with Sense. Since I wanted to upgrade to Froyo 2.2.1 released by HTC (though I knew I would lose root), I first reverted to stock Eclair version (RUU_Buzz_hTC_Asia_India_1.25.720.1_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_142213_signed.exe) and then did an OTA update.
The phone is working fine in the normal mode. However, when I try to go to the Recovery mode, I get an error screen (red triangle with an exclamation). I have no option but to choose the three button mode to restart the phone.
I tried to restore the recovery image by following this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885447) but that didn't help. After PC149IMG.zip is loaded, it gives an error "Main version is older! Update Fail!". Any help in how to restore the stock recovery on my phone would be greatly appreciated.

Shyam

It wont work because India's OTA is 2.25.720, theres no version above it. It worked for him in that thread because he used T Mobiles OTA (2.21) and overwrote it with a safe flash WWE RUU (2.22)

Hi 3xeno,
Thanks for the reply.
Also, while searching some more on XDA forum for information on how to fix my issue, I read in a thread that the triangle with the exclamation is actually how the original Recovery works. All I needed to do was to press the volume up button and power to get into the recovery mode. It was this thread that had the information - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864495
Yeah, I know, I should have used the search function some more!!
All is fine now with the Wildfire restored to it's "original" state (as far as warranty is concerned). Will keep waiting for Unrevoked guys to root this version of Froyo too.
Regards
Shyam

1.6 Build 7921 Canada Rogers Communications streak phone.

I get the Blank screen and the logo screen. I think i need the 1.6 update.pkg Build 7921. If anyone knows or can send it to me I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks in advance.
If anyone can see a wrong in my method please do point it out.
When I get 1.6 update.pkg Build 7921
Do I:
Flash the 309 Recovery image
Than install 1.6 update.pkg from the main device menu
that should make it work?

What? ....explain more thoroughly what you attempted...and what you did
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

I rooted my dell streak 1.6 Build 7921 using Z4root. I know it didn't work on my device because i tried running some rooted apps and it didnt run. I tried rooting with Android Universal and it worked! Couple of weeks after i got the OTA update for Android 2.2 Froyo for Dell Streak with Rogers communications.
I tried to install the update, and if i remember correctly, my phone went to a blank screen and was stuck there for long time, I than put update.pkg 2.2 Froyo the OTA update on Micro SD CARD. ON my device I went into the factory reset options by holding volume keys>power button.
I factory reset my device, and rebooted my device with the SD CARD in it and tried installing the "update.pkg" from the main menu option(Option 2) Since than my device wont go pass the DELL LOGO every time I boot.
Its been a weeks time since that happened now in the root of my sd card I have Clockworkmod and update.zip files of 1.6 Build 7921, I also tried flashing 309 Recovery image and a lot of different update.pkg files and still haven't figured out, how to fix my problem.

do you actually have 7921 files? could you upload them? they're not available anywhere if you actually have them

I got my phone equipped with 1.6 Build 7921 but now it doesn't even go pass the DELL LOGO
