Rooting German T-Mobile G1

Hi,
I own a german HTC Dream which I would like to gain root access to. I tried to follow the instructions on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
but I already fail in the very first section: "Preparing to Get Root on your Phone":
"You should see a gray/white screen with instructions to flash your phone with the update on your SD card."
I do see that gray screen but it tells me "not allow" and after a few seconds it changes to a colored screen with several gradient bars that says "Serial0".
Here some information about my phone:
Model number: G1
Firmware version: 1.6
Baseband version: 65.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I
Kernel version: 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37 [email protected] #19
Build number: DRC92
Can I root this phone at all?
When I read the instructions on the like I just gave, I don't even understand what's happening there. Maybe somebody can explain in a few words what actually happens when a phone is rootet. I consider myself quite knowledgable about bootloaders, kernel and the linux boot process, so I though it would be easier to understand what's going on there.

You could try following the guide on Cyanogen's Wiki
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
There's a link on there the European downgrade file RC7

U have either create a goldcard or use 1clickroot

@jackslim: I just tried the guide provided by Cyanogen but without luck. Even with the RC7 (Europe) Version of the DREAIMG.NHB I cannot flash the device: I get "not allowed" followed by a nicely colored screen saying "Serial0"
@maxisma: Can you explain this further? Any guides you can recommend?

Is the 1clickroot still working with Android 1.6? I was thinking it was only possible until Android 1.5.

You are right, 1 click root doesn't work with 1.6...
Use the goldcard-method, there are a lot of tutorials on xda.

Had the same problem and used the goldcard. Worked out. If you need help with the goldcard just ask.

I own a german G1 and tried the goldcard version. I couldn't find a tutorial which worked for me so i tried stuff from different tutorials. The best way was a combination of Ubuntu (for SD-Card utilities and number) and the goldcard (through the "email"-version).

dude i've got the same problem with my G1 phone could you email me the tutorial or just the link at with one works ??
I've got pretty much the same spec's of the guy that come up with this problem thanks and way and mabe I could use some help so if you'dd be so nice to add me in msn ?? : [email protected]
thanks

no need for goldcard or downgrade anymore.. just use exploid

Help with Root on Sprint Hero

ok theres probably been over a hundred posts on this already, so bare with me if you can. Im completely new with all of this, so im learning as I go.
So far Ive tried both methods that the unlockr recommends; the one click root, which gave me the
error [140]: bootloader version error
then i tried the goldcard method, which worked great up until I had to use RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_1.29.651.1_signed_release again, and it did the same bootloader error.
Heres my phone info
Model Number
-HTC Hero
Firmware Version
-1.5
Baseband Version
-1.04.01.09.21
Kernel Version
-2.6.27-533ce29d
Build Number

any help would be totally appreciated, thanks again guys

hxxp://theunlockr.com/2009/11/07/how-to-root-your-cdma-htc-hero-sprint-verizon/
i used that last week, the manual, enter commands step by step version and it worked fine.
if you need any help pm me.

The Goldcard method is for GSM Hero's only. What I recommend is using the Fresh Kitchen to root your CDMA Hero.

thats pretty nifty for making a slim rom for your hero. thanks, here i am hacking my phone manually. OH WELL

Well, everyone who has bought the phone from India will be using the 1.32.720.5 ROM.
I'm looking for it too so I can root and try out other ROMs and if I ever need to claim warranty, I can quickly jump back to the original ROM it came with. I still can't seem to find it(1.32.720.5) though.
If anyone could upload this ROM to xdafiles, it would be great

Did anyone finally find this RUU 1.32.720.5

Please can some get this ROM

I´m hopping to flash the new radios on this phone, to see if I can get it to work with our local provider with 3g. Currently it only connects as Edge.
I own a Diamond Touch, with a lot of firmware and radio modifications, and it worked excelent on the same simcard with 3g on almost every place.
I´m willing to do a backup (dump) of my fresh room. Can you point me out to a tutorial on how to bulk the room so we can have the backup that you are talking about?

I am pretty new at this stuff.
Hoping some of the devs out here can help us out....
Please guys really need this ROM

Ok
I followed some tutorials on how to root and s-off and radio-off the phone. They seemed to work just fine.
Then i installed a market application called Rom Manager, and after flashing a custom bootloader, and backing up the old bootloader (so it seems), I did a Rom Backup.
It´s quite bigger than I expected it to be. I´m doing a RAR of it.
Not sure if the "DATA.img" file that get´s created has already the personal data that was on the phone at the time of the backup, so probably not such a good idea to post the "rom" until i get confirmation from somebody of what are the rom.img files that really matter.
Gonna subscribe to this tread to keep an eye on it to see if my backup rom can be of any help.
Any of you guys has encounter any trouble trying to access 3g network with it?

Please can you tell me what ur Stock CID

Where can I find the Stock CID?

System Info

Sorry. I have already flashed a custom firmware... All the info that I got before flashing was posted before. If there`s no CID info there, then I`m afraid now it`s too late.
anyway, I can`t find System info on the phone.
I found Settings / About / Software information. All the info there I posted at the start, as the info that I got when i entered bootloader.
Not sure if the CID would make the rom different or what.

How to backup ROM, I have the official firmware.

Can some please help to take and back up even i dont knw

To backup.
I unfortunatelly returned the phone to the seller last week... I bought the wrong 3g band. (Need 850-1900 for Colombia).
Anyway if I recall what I did for backing up the firmware:
1. Root the device (without backing up), using visionary R14. Look for download link on the forum, and instructions. Hopefully you won´t be needing to downgrade first, as it could be more complicated.
2. Install Rom Manager from the Market.
3. Run Rom Manager, it has an option to make a full backup. It will create the bootloader backup and also the firmware backup, both on the SD.
4. Copy the backup files on a safe place. Sometimes the SD can get messed up when flashing so it´s safer to have the backup on a secondary external place like a pc or a cd. (i think they where 4 files on the root of the SD, and one folder on the backup folder of Rom Manager, inside the SD).
That´s it for backing up.
Now for starting with flashing new firmwares you will also need (now safer to do) to S-off and Radio S-Off the device. The forum has really nice tutorials on how to easily achieve this other tasks.

Installing a new stock rom

Hello every one,
(I did searched through the forms before posting this topic but did not found what I am looking for)
Like most of the Wildfire owners I was eagerly awaiting the release of AlpharevX beta, so I could I finally turn the S-OFF and take control of my device. BUT it seems that the beta version of RevX does not cater to hboot version 1.01.0002 variant. Bummer
After visiting the IRC channel of #alpharevx, I had an impression that there are several variants of the 1.01.0002 hboot, plus the one installed on my device could belong to Asia region. Inside the chat room IEF stated that there is no chance for Asia region support as well. So the only choice I am left with is to get S-OFF via XTC clip, unfortunately so far my search to find one in my city seems fruitless. It is quite expensive and I am just not ready to buy one. The only option left to me is to rid of my wildfire
But I was wondering if there is a way I can replace the stock rom on my device with that from Europe region. As per my understanding one needs to have a gold card to flash the device. I was able to create a goldcard via unlocker website, but now what. I am not sure which rom to choose or how to proceed any further. I did searched the XDA forums but few guides suggested you need a rooted device while other stated some thing different. I need your expert advise if there is a possibility for me to replace the stock rom on my device, thus enabling me to use AlpharevX.
The details of my device are listed below:
Android Version: 2.2.1
Baseband Version: 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10
kernel version: g44d8ec5
[email protected]#1
Wed Dec 8 CST 2010
Build number: 2.37.466.1 CL319429 release-keys
Software number: 2.37.466.1
Also I am attaching the screen shot of the issue I am facing with AlpharevX, there are quite a lot of people with the same issue.
One thing more my device is not locked to any particular carrier or carries its logo, but it does seem to have a middle eastern language support i.e. Arabic and Farsi in it.
Last but not least I would like to thank AlpharevX team, although it did not work for me but they did a great job. Thank you.
I would also like to thank 3xeno for all the help so far.

[Q] Help before proceeding.

I have never touched a windows phone before but have exp. with Installing unsigned code and ROMS (xbox/360,androids)
With that being said I just received a Windows HTC T8788 from a buddy last night. I have read so many tuts. and info that I have 15 tabs from being sent from one to the other and back again. Here is what I have gathered.
Model:T8788
Carrier:AT&T
Software: Windows 7.5
OS version: 7.10.7720.68
Revsion:003
Radio: 5.69.09.05a_22.50.50.21H
Bootloader version:4.5.2250.0(129685)
Here's the question that sends me in circles and its not the procedure or directions, its which path do I take that is not clear to me to get RSPL/HSPL.
Now for the procedure and Hacks I would like to get but keep finding myself jumping from old to new material.
1) Download WP7F3 and check Bootloader. SPL needs to be 1.5.xx or
lower because DFT program doesn't support the SPL 4.5.xxxx bootloader I
have.
2) So that tells me that a downgrade is needed so that I can RSPL/HSPL then I
can Install Ansars New 8773 ROMs. This is were I get messed up!!!
I found that is has to be a stock provider ROM build;NoDo that has SPL 1.5
Which I found here in this form in FOOTBALLS post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427902
I have also read some were that My version was not able to downgrade
unless i use The goldcard procedure.
I missed a lot of info above but just wanted to clarify were I was
I have no backups of old OS from Zune, Nothing at all. The process to do this is pretty easy just just need someone with windows handset exp. before I take the leap without confirming proper order and software versions.
Sorry If someone take me to the direct link that I couldn't find

So thats it, nobody will even flame me and tell me to to keep reseaching.
Am I missing something. This is Q&A thread for HTC T8788 Sound right?

I wish someone had answer this... Did you have any luck on your own?
