If your G1 is rooted (as you said) already, all you have to do is flash the ROM.
Make sure the requirements are met. (IE: radio/SPL)
What is your G1 specs?? (reboot your G1 and hold camera+power for about 5 seconds).

Then try this one, it got the zip-signed radio and SPL. You should be able to downdload and flash that on your G1. But read all the warning first.

can i straight just flash the radio/spl? or do i have to go through all the steps?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
If you are sure that all your info is correct, meaning that radio/SPL is the same as the instruction then you can follow the step that you needs. IE: Step 2 or Step 3.
I don't want to tell you to go ahead and do step 3, because if anything like the warning by ezTerry, you can and will brick your device. And that is the last thing you wants to do.

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.

I have stored my g2 to stock, removed clockworks mod, and unrooted. However, i still have visionary on it. when i boot up the phone while holding down and power it comes up. its not in the list of applications i have. Any help would be appreciated.
here what the screen reads:
VISION PVT SHIP S - OFF
HBOOT - 0.82.0000
MICROP-0425
RADIO 26.03.02.26_M

"VISION" on the HBoot screen does not refer to the Visionary rooting app. It refers to HTC's codename for the phone "Vision" (known to most as the G2/Desire Z).
And I believe that for your phone to be completely unrooted, where it says S-OFF, you need it to say S-ON.

SO, just look for threads that show me how to go back to s-on right?

Apparently as many times as this guy keeps asking the same question over and over again.
Is it possible.

I'm pretty sure it is but personally I wouldn't try it.

If I remember correctly you can't. You need to be fully rooted meaning s-off. Basically s-off means radio sercurity off,among other things turned off. If you try to flash anything through clocklworkmod recovery without s-off,either nothing will happen or your phone will be bricked an you will have to buy a complete new phone. Best thing to do is fully root(s-off). If you need help rooting your phone,send me a pm,an ill help you out.

You're right that you must be rooted to flash in recovery, but you do not flash radios in recovery. They are flashed in the bootloader, and I'm not sure root access is required to flash a PD15IMG.zip file in the bootloader. I'm leaning towards root not being required, but I don't know for sure. Might as well go ahead and try it. The worst that could happen is you get the "access denied" message and the installation aborts.
I was thinking that about the radio, I just flashed my first one. After having my phone rooted for 6months. Only reason why I said root the phone. Is to make sure he has full control over the phone. An it takes some risks out,some but not all.

Yea, I was about to say you don't use cwm to flash a new radio but you got it. : P lol

Radios can be flashed in bootloader - otherwise stock firmware updates wouldn't be able to upgrade radios - but they most probably need to be signed to be flashed by S-ON bootloader. In that case, the answer to the OP would be "no".
I don't see any guides with 6.17.0001 listed?
Your hboot means your s-off with revolutionary all you have to do is flash a custom recovery and superuser.zip
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Thanks for the reply. Should I try to flash a recovery even when it says S-ON?
It says s-on? If so you have to rerun a RUU to get the hboot back to 2.16 and then use revolutionary.io to unlock and root it again

It's like that because the previous owner didn't rerun the RUU to return it to normal hboot he just flashed the hex edited hboot to get s-on

It really bothers me when lazy people don't follow ALL of my instructions. evo4gnoob is right; that's actually the next step in the process. People seem to think S-ON is enough (it probably is, in most cases), but a true EVOphile will know that 6.17 isn't a "real" (i.e. from HTC) HBOOT version.
I've tried the 1 or 2 things in the Bible and its not working. Still s-off. I flashed the newest gingerbread PD1.zip hoping that might install a new s-on bootloader but no. It's still the PVT 0.86.
