How do you get to the recovery screen? According to everything I've read online, you push HOME and POWER at the same time but when I do that, I get the exclamation point and phone symbol and then nothing else happens. Am I supposed to do something when that comes up?
Is there an easier way to upgrade? I don't think the G1 can handle Froyo fully and I can safely bet not evything is working to it's best. I think G1 should be okay with Eclair best, Froyo is too much for the G1, to think this was the first smartphone to have Android. Wow 2007 seems like a long time ago, time flies so fast. Too bad the android hasn't changed that much I mean it's nice and all but the apps looks dead, it needs a little animation, live apps like I always said and true multi taskin
Can you bypass the 'first startup'. I wiped mine and i forgot i didn't have a data package and dont have a way to log into my gmail and cant get past the android. Anyone know??
Hello. Maybe you can help perinstaliot G1 Android, I would be very grateful for the help. run out to get Android 2.2 platform? viktor19880601@gmail.com
I'm impressed... the phone maintained it's full battery for at least 3 minutes. Anyone know where I could order a new battery for mine? (I'm from Canada if that makes a difference). Oh, also very good and useful video. I will be rooting my phone this week
I have a t-mobile g1 which is locked on t-mobile UK and I just want to know if I flash it with this rom (or with any custom rom's) does my phone become unlocked or I will end up just with a different operating system and the phone still locked? Thank you guys!
I´m member of the forum to download the files but it say everytime not aviable for you ... Could you upload it somewhere else or send it to me per e-mail ?
hey joe, about your SD Card Issues... how did you prepare your SD Card? Still just get stuck at the G1 Boot Screen, though Super D Rom works just fine...
@Krizkroz i heard that if ur sd card doesnt have enough memory as in bigger than 2gb ur gonna have problems.. idk.. guys update to froyo 2.2.1 mod version 6.1.0 :D
hi there, is it possible for a fee and prepaid postage do a upgrade to my G1 1.6 to 2.2. I was trying to do it, but run to too much problems and do not understand too much your tech talk
Hey, I have a T-Mo G1 and am a bit confused. I got the link to XDA and am confused as to whether I should use recovery image 1.7.0 or 1.7.0 cyan? Is there any difference between the two? Trying to get to 2.2 from 1.6. Thanks.
dude can u help me plz, i want to put 2.2 on my G1 but i dnt understand 100% what i have to do and to be honest im quite scared my G1 will break and if it does i cant use it again cuz i dnt have insurence
@chapinsito12 root your phone.. this is the process where you have to get to 1.5 and then install and app and flash a recovery image... if u dont know what im saying, go to youtube search engine and type in how to root G1
@xxphreshjokerxx i did that ysesterday, but instead it went down to 1.0...and then i couldnt use the market to download a file manager...so i stopped playin with it and today it updated itself back to 1.6 =[...idk how to do this...
@chapinsito12 oh damnn, i have never had that happen to me... ok uhm email me at phreshjoker@gmail.com so we can chat and ill give you links to where to do the root, and ill be there to help you out
Hey Im just wondering Im getting the G1 soon and I coming from Iphone, And I want to root it and have custom roms but should I get 2.1 2.2 or just 1.6. I just want it to have a nice visual look, stability and I want to be able to have the latest 3rd party tweaks and hacks. But is 2.2 on the g1 stable and fast?
@Superbling26 Hope you did not get the G1 yet, especially when you came from iPhone. You will hate it, due to slow hardware speed. I would suggest you to keep your iPhone (yes even if its 2G) or get the latest Android Phone.
@canadia7x actually if u read gizmodos bad review they said it has an efuse which shorts the phone if you install custom roms thats not fucking right it my phone if i bought it i can do what i want with it!!!!!!!!!!1
@RealGame22 Compcache is basically compressing your cache... it lets more "stuff" be crammed into the same amount of space making it look like you have more cache... but it takes more time to put data into cache, and take it back out again (you have to compress and decompress it). Sometimes it can help speed things up... sometimes it does the opposite.
