Manual to get root in cell G1 with Android (1.6 or 2.0)
From version 1.6 1click root system does not work if your Smartphone is in any previous version skip to item 3.2 below.
I updated my phone to version 1.6 for there to decide that I wanted a little more of it, and from this version is a bit more complicated to obtain root privileges and can install the modified versions of Android eg CyanogenMod .
To follow this manual recommend having at least a basic knowledge of Linux alias without it I would not advise putting the phone in Root, it will be much easier to damage the unit. I am not responsible for the following, I followed the manuals that will show and for me it worked but I could have lost the device if something went wrong.
But what are the advantages of this process:
- limiting the official version only allow you to install programs on internal memory in my case was 60MB, with the latest versions of programs CyanogenMod go directly to the SD since it has an ext2 or ext3.
- The possibility of using a partition-partition Linux SWAP
- Be able to provide the Internet appliance (tethering) to your computer or laptop via USB Wifi
- And much more see the list at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567610
Of course there are disadvantages for example the automatic update is off but for that we already own Cyanogen an application that makes the upgrade from them.
1-DOWNGRADE
So let's start first of all you must do a downgrade to version 1.0, or we will return the phone to its original form before the updates, this procedure will also be necessary if we are to withdraw privileges Root and again have access to the automatic updates direct from Google.
Here I had two paths or two books a lot like an easier and one that worked . The easiest basically do not need Goldcard. I advise trying first to make this straightforward procedure if the author could perhaps work with you and save you some steps, the manual Cyanogem own says nothing of Goldcard.
In both cases we must first file DREAIMG.nbg RC29 (U.S.) [Link1] [Link2] if you have an appliance or American RC7 (UK) [Link1] [Link2] if you have a European device, unzip the file and put DREAIMG.nbh the file to your microsd card from your G1. Do not rename the file, the file name has to be DREAIMG.nbh
The procedure without Goldcard just switched off the device, press and hold the button to take photo and power button.
It will connect in recovery mode, in my case I received the error 00028002 (not allow) and returned to the screen of the rainbow. I have checked the message and found that it meant that my CID was wrong, this error also happened to me once with the Goldcard but I think I must have done some mistake in time to copy the number of CID, for the second time worked. In the comments of the manual also has a user who received an error message but simply formatting the SD, and placing the file DREAIMG.nbh worked, is one possibility.
To exit this screen you can dial by pressing the Menu + + End, in my case I was forced to remove the battery and USB cable as this combination was not working.
If you run these two screens will appear next, the first asking to push the power button to start the process. Care for your cell phone battery does not run out this procedure because it can be to defeat the device. If managed istalar will not be necessary to mount the Goldcard, and the device will be in version 1.0.
2-GOLDCARD
If you did not install DREAIMG.nbh is necessary to mount the Goldcard, first install the application Astro File Manager and then go with him to the folder / sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1: / XXXX where XXXX is a hexadecimal number, ICD-click the file and open it as text, vai aparecer um número, na verdade são uma sequencia de números com dois algarismos por exemplo: vai aparecer um número, na verdade são uma sequencia de números com dois algarismos por exemplo:
035344535530314780601c619e00822e
03 53 44 53 55 30 31 47 80 60 1c 61 9e 00 82 2e
It is necessary to reverse this sequence and then remove the spaces:
2e 82 00 9e 61 1c 60 80 47 31 30 55 53 44 53 03
2e82009e611c60804731305553445303
Place this code in the form below, or on site http://revskills.de/pages/goldcard.html that you receive via email the file goldcard.img
I would like to make any changes before an original backup of my phone is htc g1 Tmobile with the 1.6 firmware would love to put htc superhero g3, but it goes in the middle of the year HTC chose to release the update for htc g1 android 2 that liked most of these changes are support for flash that I learned that soon everyone will have flash support and one thing I liked in htc superhero is the system of music album. what do you recommend? to wait a little longer or make changes as htc rom for a superhero.
Not tested yet the ROM of Hero. studies and also hoping to leave the 2.0 version superior to the G1.
Once released the Root options by turning the equipment holding the home increases, among them is released Nandroid that makes up the whole system. But to get the Root have to go back to version 1.0
If you later want to return the unit to its original form and without access Root have to do the first part of the Handbook back to version 1.0 and then upgrade straight through the settings menu with the updates.
The ROM I'm currently using is that of Cyanogen with Thema BlackIce, the theme adds many cool things like folders in the main menu, because with the applications installed on SD just exaggerating the amount of stuff installed, and so it was easy to organize everything .
First you with this Cyanogem ROM and installed with root access right?
If you are doing the update via EDGE or WiFi switch to 3G, operators have to limit the download 5 MB.
Try to uninstall the program and reinstall it, and once with the care Cyanogen running is no longer possible to remove the SD if you have a second partition to the APP. For he can not dismount more SD.
Today I took the SD without disassembling reintalar and now I have several applications that are in error.
What part is giving this error in the download or installation?
In cyanogen updater ta md5 not giving error response
Do not know anyone in Brazil, but a look at the forums.
Alias the current version of Cyanogem is 6 which is based on the new Android 2.2. In G1 there's no way if you want to have a newer system has to crack because there saira updates. Care but to lose the unit, check whether the model is the same manual that you follow and is preferably not install packet radio
Search the forum http://forum.portalandroid.org staff it is very good
Hi Do you know any place where I can take my G1 to do this upgrade process. I'm not very familiar with Android and even Linux. I'm afraid to damage the unit.
grateful
