I have an old Tmobile G1 rooted that I would like to flash a stock rom 1.6 without loosing root. anyone Knows hot to do this?
What do you mean with "without loosing root"?
Without loosing custom recovery / installed SPL or without loosing the "root" functionality within the rom?
2nd will be a bit difficult, because it's no longer "stock", but there are some roms from Enomther which are going in that directions.
1st should be more easy (just an idea, I didn't try yet): Take the signed-kila-xxx.zip (full update release to 1.6), unzip, remove the radio, spl, recovery from it, modify the update-script, repack and sign (if you want to flash with Amon RA).

Try a search here in the forum for threads started by Enomther. They are a bit old, but I liked them

i have a copy of a generic stock rom made for rooted devices... i just never use it, was kinda just a rom with a root guide to have untill you install your own custom rom... but here's a thought
1. there are plenty of roms that are fully functional and much better, faster, and smoother than the stock 1.6 G1
2. can use the generic rom i mentioned, but again im not sure how it's functionality is compared to stock.
3. Unroot the device and flash stock 1.6
i don't have links right now but send me a PM on which one you want to do and ill get them for you..

I have been around these forums a while flashed more than my share of roms. I want stock Rom but no bloatware. I rooted it but now what I still have ATT apps on it. How do you actually remove them. I tried titanium backup but it said I needed busybox I got it but it won't install. Someone please tell me the noob way to remove bloatware.

Haven't considered searching or reading stickies or existing threads have you?
You might look into this ROM - its basicly what you have but pre stripped of the ATT apps, a few needed apps and a few well needed ui tweaks. Highly reccomend it and it works with the Android Market showing all apps:

Yes I have and the ones I have read don't explain things as if you are new to android operation. I can do near anything WM but am a complete noob to android.

Just load the latest liberated rom from recovery. It is stock with the crap removed.
No I just want to remove bloatware, I know that Rom is stock LIKE but still has some issues. I have flashed every HTC phone I have ever owned and there is a endless cycle it seems like every cook keeps sending out new version fixing what was missing in the last release. And no matter how perfect their Rom is there is always something glitchy or something doesn't work. So with this phone atleast until I familiarize myself wit the android OS I want to stay stock.

Why am I not getting alerts when someone replies.

First, you're wrong about that ROM. It may be semantics, but that ROM is stock meaning it's taken the stock ROM (kernel) and the additions are merely the most commonly requested features, e.g. removal of bloatware, ability to sideload, etc.
Second, for just removing apps go here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735255 And while you might be an Android noob the rules of the xda forums are the same regardless of OS. Search before asking, and don't create new threads unnecessarily. If you have any questions about that specific process reply in that thread.
And a note specific to the rom I listed, as I came from WM too, when you update to the newer release of the rom you can opt to keep the phone as is (apps, files, etc). So its not like you are starting from scratch each time you update. I am on the R012 latest realease with ZERO issues so far and I am an avid user of all the features. Yes rooting your phone and updating the rom is harder than a WM executable... the first time. Every update after that is simply a reboot, flash on the phone and finish booting, much easier!
you mean you dont have to set everything back up again.....
Some you do, some you dont. I just updated my liberated build R006 to R012 and at first thought the update didnt take. But isntead, it updated the core without loosing everything. So awesome, every WM rom update wiped my phone out, truly sucked. Long live Android!
I went ahead and flashed the liberated Rom and it seems to be fine I had some problemswith my contacts but worked it out. The only thing is it doesn't have the over the air update on it so now I am going to have to flash another Rom when it is added. Never ending cycle. But if it doesn't reset every thing like you said then it should be no problem.. I just remember every flash on WM meant resetting all your stuff back up. Thanks for the input.

I really would like the ability to completely backup my Evo, wipe batt stats, clear caches, wifi tether, and some other things but I DONT WANT A CUSTOM ROM.
i am perfectly happy with stock sprint rom.
everywere i read about rooting the way the tutorials are worded they make it sound like you have to use a custom rom...
id like to use unrEVOked.
could someone help me out, thanks...
I used unrEVOked Forever and rooted my phone. It was easy and quick. It rooted it and kept the stock rom. I used it for like 2 weeks then decided I would try Warm. If you use unrEVOked, it should keep the stock rom and be rooted. After that, it's your choice to swap roms. I like Warm because it has the stock Sprint hotspot enabled.

You can do all of that and still use a stock ROM.
You don't have to use a custom rom unrevoked installs a stock rooted and you can still update it ota but you loose root if you do custom roms sometimes add some tweaks and functionality that you don't get from stock so they are worth looking at.

Use unrevoked forever after unrevoked 3 so you have nand unlocked to do the full backups the other reason is you can get root back slot easier after update

Your right it does but if you read on just about any forum here it's not a full unlock but by using unrevoked forever you get s-off or security-off which when you're talking about stock rooted lets you upgrade and root without waiting for someone else to produce a stock rooted update rom.

Hi
Am helping my friend who for dunno what reason flashed his stock G1 singapore rom to US Tmobile stock rom. When he boots up it looking for T Mobile signal which of course there is non here in Singapore. I am unable to find his stock rom image as I am new to android myself. Can anyone help?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Depends on what your friend wants to do. Since Does he wants to root his G1 and get the custom ROM or, just going back to the original?
He actually wants to root n flash new roms but if get back stock is also ok

If you are going to root your friend phone and flash it with the custom ROM.
Follow the instruction in the link below:

Sorry if this has been discussed. I used unrevoked to get super user access to my incredible and now want to delete that stupid slacker radio, vcast, and VZW navigator crap. Do I have to install a rom? I like sense and don't like messing too much with the phone. I have been running stock software on it for almost a year and only just now rooted using unervoked to install a screenshot app. I hate those bloatware apps with a passion but have put up with them ... now that I have root access I can't uninstall using the normal means. Is there a workaround to get rid of them without installing a rom?

You can install custom ROMs that basically mirror the stock ROM but it has bloatware removed. Just look carefully.
The sticky at the top of the forum links to a lot of FAQ's like this one
In particular:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Incredible/Guides&Tutorials#Removing_Bloat
Even easier, you can use Titanium Backup to do it. Or Root Explorer. Or pretty much any app that can write to the system partition with SU access.
Oh and sorry I am using tapatalk and couldn't find the search feature to reply in thread about bloatware. Accept my apology.
Or, if you don't mind wiping. You can install Nothing Special.

It's a stock rom with bloat already removed.

Ok. So if I flash will I get VZW OTA if they push it out of 2.3? ... since I rooted using unrevoked, but if I don't flash will I get the OTA to 2.3?
Guess I'm just worried ill brick it. This thing is my pride and joy and if I broke it I would cry.

It's almost impossible to brick, it's become so easy to flash roms, root, etc.
Just factory reset if you want to go back. Kinda the point of flashing is to get the latest greatest before it is released. Oh, all all those goodies I am sure they will omit.

The devs here are beating the piss out of VZW OTA's. Just flash a custom 2.3 ROM.

Just answered your pm. Do you just want to go completely back to stock urooted? Or do you want to stay rooted, and just run a stock rom? The first two links will break root if you are currently rooted. The third link is for a Stockish rom, stable and fast. The fourth is also stockish rooted rom.
