Hi all,
I am very new user of android g1 phone so i would like to ask you sum silly questions :
1. How to know that my google g1 phone is rooted ( I bought it from ebay ).
2. How to install / download sweeter home ..
thanx in advance
If it has an app called Superuser Whitelist installed then it is definitely rooted. If not, you need to get an app from the market called Terminal Emulator. Open it and type getprop ro.secure . If the response is 0 then you are rooted. Otherwise you are not rooted.
To install apps, just open the Market. You can search by name at any time by pressing the keyboard search button (looks like a magnifying glass).
thanx jashsu for reply , there is no any application installed called Superuser Whitelist in my phone and as per your advise i installed Terminal emulator , response is 1, that means my phone is not rooted right ???? suggest me what is difference between rooted or non rooted phone, what can i do with rooted phones , plz....

Koush's sticky (link below) describes why and how to gain root. I would suggest you only perform it if you are confident in your proficiency with computers and following computing-related instructions. If the notion that you might disable your phone for some unknown reason and not be able to instantly restore it worries you, then do not root.

thanx again one more problem i am facing is whenever i start camera it shows please insert sd card before using the camera , but when i go sd card and memory option there it shows sd card space is 968 mb that means sd card is inside, Whats wrong with my phone please suggest
Hm. Give this a shot:
1. Connect G1 to computer
2. Mount the sd card (on G1)
3. Copy the contents of the /Camera folder to computer
4. Delete the /Camera folder
5. Dismount the sd card (on the computer)
6. Unplug G1
After that try your Camera app again. If it doesn't work, check another app that uses the sd card, like the Music app.
Just to tip you off, don't know if this has been fixed yet, but when I rooted my phone around 2 months ago, the RC29 image didn't work... in fact it bricked my phone causing it to go straight to the bootloader no matter what, I had to find another source to download the RC29 to get it to work, and following that rooting went smooth (telnet part was a bit rough) and now its great!
Welcome to the world of the Android
Thanx 2 all, finally i formatted my card and its working properly even in camera , thanx again

The link in your sig worked on my G1 a while back, but one of my co-workers asked me to flash his and I couldn't downgrade it, gave some error messages not allowing me to downgrade to RC29. It seems they've blocked that off in the newer SPL or something and I've seen in another thread that you might need some low-level hacks to make a custom SD card to bypass that, which is not mentioned in any of the tutorials in your link.
And that is why you follow the tutorial and flash a new SPL.
**********************************************************
Disclaimer: I hold no responsibility for any damage, injury, loss of property, loss of data, loss of any and all resources, or any negative influence what-so-ever, that may result from any and all usage of the information below.
Format your SD card first (FAT32)
1) Launch the Market App, Search for Terminal Emulator and install it.
2) Launch Terminal Emulator
3) Enter the following:
cd /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1:*
(where * should 1234. I’ve tried other SD cards including the Transcend 1GB came with the phone, might not work if listed like mmc1:001 or mmc1:002)
cat cid
(Write down the whole string Example: 02544d5107943247039c7d22bd002653)
4) Go to QMAT site http://revskills.de/pages/download.html, download QMAT 4.36
5) Extract the file, double click on qmat.exe
6) Click on Cyptoanalysis Tools > Crypto Toolbox
7) Look way below, there is a text box (beside “Reverse String” button. Key in the cid number you’ve got earlier
Click on the “Reverse String” button, the result is reversed…
Example: 532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402
9) Copy the reversed cid
10) Go to QMAT again http://revskills.de/pages/goldcard.html to generate your goldcard (this is free for G1 phone, Thanks to Viper!)
11) Enter your email. For the CID, enter the reversed cid you’ve got earlier. However you need to replace the first 2 characters to 00.
Example: From “532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402” to “002600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402”
12) click Continue and you will receive the goldcard.img via your email.
13) Go to your email, download the goldcard.img and save it to a directory first.
14) Now, download HxD Hex Editor for this site
http://download.cnet.com/HxD-Hex-Editor/3000-2352-10891068.html?part=dl-HxDHexEdi&subj=uo&tag=button
15) Install and launch HxD Hex Editor program
16) Go to Extra tab > Open Disk. Under Physical disk, select Removable Disk (Must be your SD card), uncheck “Open as Readonly), click OK.
17) Go to Extra again, Open Disk Image, open up goldcard.img which you’ve saved to a directory earlier.
Now, you should have two tabs, one is your removable disk, the other is goldcard.img. Press OK when prompted for “Sector Size” 512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks), click OK.
18) Click on goldcard.img tab. Go to Edit tab > Select All, edit tab again > copy.
19) Click on the “removable disk” tab. Select offset 00000000 till offset 00000170, click on Edit tab and then Paste Write.
20) Click on File > Save. You may exit this program
Now, do a test to see if your SD card is “compatible”
Disconnect the USB cable connected to your SD card, then plug it back again. Go to My Computer, you will see your SD card (E.g. “Removable Disk ( F” ), double click and see if you can access it. If it prompted you to format, then forget about this SD card, don’t think it will work. After trying for days, I ended up buying a Kingston 2GB card.
If you are able to access your SD card after written the goldcard.img to your removable disk (point 19,), proceed point 21.
21) Download RC7 from http://koushikdutta.blurryfox.com/G1/DREAMIMG-RC7.zip
I used RC7, you may use other version if you want to, just google around.
22) Extract DREAMIMG.NBH to the root of your SD card.
23) Exiting moment is now… Power off your phone, power on again by holding the camera and the power button at the same time.
24) If all went smoothly, it will prompt you to press the Power button again to update
25) Once all is done, remove the battery manually to power off the phone. Place the battery back and power on again, you are on RC7 now
26) Same as usual, you will need to sign in to your google account. However do take note that after RC 7 image, all APN configuration is not relevant to the ISP in Singapore.
Click on the Menu key on your phone and configure the APN manually (google around, you should able to find you ISP APN configuration) Remember to set your APN to default.
Sign in to google again. Only once you are signed in, then proceed to (Point 26) because you need to download App like telnet from the Market.

I'm sorry, I must be missing it. I don't see any guides in the information link on how to install the new SPL before installing RC29... and am actually pretty confident that that isn't possible because you need to be rooted first and you need RC29 to root it. I'll try the gldimage trick the guy above me listed, but I don't see that anywhere in the information thread.
goldcard works
Hi,
having the OTA 1.5 version, i couldn't root my phone by using the various methods described here (downgrading to the rc7 image) since i always got a "not allow" error (why did this happend btw? I could root it in the past..).
Using this excellent guide above, everything worked perfectly and i am downgrading as i type this.
Thanks
regards
Daniel
@ marshallladd
I got "not allowed" errors, but THANKS to your great step-by-step instructions I managed to successfully downgrade! THANKS A LOT ;-)
...hm what the smartest step next to gain root + bootloader...?
Hi,
I have downloaded the MIUI rom from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969661
[Mar 11 ]HD2 MIUI 1.3.11 SD/MAGLDR ROM (Kernel-AmeriCanAndroid r3.01)
Now I am facing the following issues......
Setup
I am booting this ROM from SD; so when starting it's booting to Win6.5, and I have to launch it from Win6.5.
Issue 1
okay, in Android
- marketplace
- searched for Angry Bird
- hit download, and I can see that Android passed the download link to the "download manager", and download manager quickly remove it from the download - no error message
was wondering if I need to create a folder for them to put the file?
Is it possible to download the "Angry Bird" application on my computer, USB sync it to the phone, and run the application from the phone?
Issue 2
- i registered for beta version of swype
- i download swype, and tried to install it using it's installer
- swype is unable to let me generate a license for it;
===> do I need to set up permission for applications to access my SD storage?
Issue 3
I just discovered that this ROM has links to MIUI Market Place! very similiar to Android marketplace
and this time when I choose to download software from it, it says failed to download (in chinese); I can surf internet and receive emails from gmail though.
Has this got something to do with my cluster size? It's currently at 8kb
PS: I couldn't get any response/support from the development forum, so I guess someone could help me if I were post in the right forum?
I don't know about the market issues,but u can definitely download apps and games from the network ,go to options>application and mark unknown sources so u can install non market apps-games, enable mass storage in android,transfer the files to the sd,access it with astro(any file manager) or any other program u have and just press the file u want and it will ask u if u want to install it.
about the market issues maybe switch to another rom.
after download some apk and installing them into the mobile, and after a few restart/reboot, I can download from market place now.......
1. When I try to run androids my device just stuck on the black screen with the green HTC text .. (4 Example - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069771 ) this one .. ( The instructions is just to take the files and put them into a folder called Android on the root of the SD card .. right ? I need to put the data file or It will be built by itself ? )
2. My Mobile internet is not working .. ( Orange 3G israel ) With androids ..
only with American Android ..
Sry for ****ty English
Please help me
help me , please ..
check the thread in my Sig, it might help
Anyway, each build is different, some come in a folder different than android, so the common rule is: don't change the folder unless you know what you're doing.
Check that the files are not in a folder inside the android folders.
Some builds take up to 30 minutes to start depending on your SD an how large the data.img files is, normally the bigger the file the longer it takes for the first run.
Make sure to scan the card for system file errors before you install any new build.
Ive tried the scan , tried to wait ... nothing happens
and did you try the SD card formatter?
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
Choose full with size adjustment on. and reread the Original build thread looking for info. do some search inside it if necessary.
New update is up!
Version is : V100R001C00B528G001
http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDEyNTU=
Upgrade How-to
It has all languages android have!
This upgrade need to accomplish 1 upgrade package’s upgrade in the one step below, the file name can’t be revised:
Step1: include UPDATE.APP
- Prepare a formatted Micro SD card which at least has 512MB available space. Make sure your handset is powered off and then insert the MICRO SD card into the handset.
- Make a “dload” directory on SD card root directory
- Copy the “Step 1\ dload\UPDATE.APP” to SD card.
- Long press volume up + volume down + power button on the handset to startup you device until device into upgrade model, the handset will upgrade and shutdown automatically.
- After upgrade success , Restart the handset.
- It will reboot few times.
- Check the Build number is 100R001C00B528G001 . You can see it in “Settings”->”About Phone”..
Possible bugs!
- When the wifi open and screen is off phone reboots.
- Some phone gets imei=0 (please backup your imei)
- Not sure but I have network issues. Sometimes my phone gets "unreachable" state even I have 4 bars.
- There is a widget problem, "The widget loading problem" after each reboot.
- On calls your sound is very husky. You can try to solve changing build.prop "ro.config.dualmic=true" to "ro.config.dualmic=false"
- Some users reported screen lag, freezes and and glicthes.
- Sound (your sound from calls) not very good.
- Widgets get "The problem loading widget" on every reboot.
- Haptic feedback not work on capatitive keys.
Warnings!
- There is no safe way for downgrading.
Downgrading!
I go back to cm7 like this;
- Copy B138 dload to internal memory - This is important.
Power off your phone go to pink screen. Notice: you can't go the pink scren without sd-card. So, after copying dload directory insert sd card.
- Go to pink screen
- In pink screen, I replace all the files from my 2.2 backup. (If you don't do that, downgrade not work. Its failed step 2/2)
- Remove sdcard from phone and start the B138 update like always.
- After installing phone should open normally.
- Once your phone open normally, you can install cwm and flash any rom you want it.
I noticed cwm data backups not works, I don't know why its not worked. Maybe some experience person can explain that to us.
- Please notice, Even if this version worked on my phone, that doesn't mean it will work for you. You can try, I'm not responsoble of anything

Cannot download, seems fine until downloaded the half size and after that goes very fast to end, resulting a damaged archive. Maybe too many trying to download?
Anyway how you find these links?
If from that page press the label to go to index, I cannot find this link. the froyo rom, not this link.

To late, just upgraded to a Samsung galaxy note
my last ever Huawei, their after sales support sucks for every phone, why can Korea make better products than China? Better support, better phones, higher quality, China keep trying and keep failing in the support part of most products for some reason, I can't figure out if its a culture thing or a government thing that makes them not care about their customers
