Its an old JF. Update the radio. Try Cyanogen 3.6.8.1 and his recovery console 1.3.1. Here is the link to both. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537204

Yes you should remove all the update files on the card except the one you are going to flash. If that doesn't work you might have to wipe then flash. Chime in anytime simms.

Well I have successfully rooted my G1, thanks to all! I am doing this with the intent of using my phone as a tether for my laptop. There's a problem though. When I go into terminal emulator, it still denies me su access. I try "cd sdcard" but no luck, it says "can't cd to sdcard". What gives??


Edit: never mind I'm retarded. "cd /sdcard" works fine forgot to add the slash. So what is this "Hero" I keep reading about?

Quick question here - I'm pretty sure what I'm about to do is correct, but I'd love some confirmation on that before proceeding. I'm about to root my G1 w/ cupcake using the instructions in the first post of this thread. Since the post was made, there have obviously been a bunch of new ROMs, and I plan on using Cyanogen's 3.6.8.1 ROM. Can I simply rename the new cyanogen rom to update.zip and use this file with the files I downloaded as per the instructions in the original post? It looks like the original update.zip is an old JF ROM, and I just want to make sure I can skip this and go straight to the latest cyanogen image. Thanks so much!
