About to root my G1

[docgab]

Alrighty folks, I am about to make the big leap. I have read through several tutorials on rooting and it seems pretty straightforward. I have the SD card I am currently using in my unrooted G1 and I have another that I plan on using to root my G1.

I do have one question however, and I apologize if it is very noobish or if it has been answered countless times! After I have rooted and upgraded, can I just pop my old SD card in?

yea if its jus a modded rom like cyan's , with a hero rom u will NEED a partition for ext 2 (apps 2 sd) and linux swap

but if ur tryin to run apps to sd u will hve to partition ur sd card for apps to sd so realy u should back up ur old sd card , partition the new one , then jus load up everythin on to the fat32 partition of the new one

question for you is WUT ARE U TRYIN TO KEEP THE OLD SD FOR ?

Thanks much for your quick reply. :-) I will indeed want to run apps2SD.

I am mainly trying to keep the old SD as that is where I backed up all my current apps and settings etc. I see your way makes more sense. lol Thanks again for your help!

Simms22, I have run into a problem right off the bat. I followed your link and downloaded the files necessary. My error comes while flashing the dreaimg.nbh file. The progress bar fills up and then a few seconds after that it gives me a DREAIMG.nbh - FAIL up above and a update terminated update fail down below.

Any ideas?
