About to root my G1

[simms22]

Indeed I am! I feel very silly though. I tried what you suggested and no go. I realized I was in a hurry and had forgotten to wipe before installing 1.6. Did it correctly this time and all is well. Thanks again so much for your help and patience!

thats great to hear !
dont feel silly , we all make mistakes . main thing is that you learn from those mistakes . i cant tell you how many times i have to retype scripts because im hurrying ! if anything let me know , im always happy to help . enjoy

Hey, good job on rooting! I think I've decided to root, but I'm still reading around and familiarizing myself with the whole process. I have a quick question though; does it matter the type of sd card I have? I bought my G1 used, and I'm pretty sure I have a basic 1 gb sd card in there. I know I need the FAT32 partition on it, so would the 1 gb be too small, or am i in good shape? Thanks.

if ur just looking to root and install cyanogen mod ,then that card would do and would run apps to sd ok, but for the future i would suggest getting a class 6 card ,its not the size that matters its how fast it goes , so i would suggest eventualy lookin to get a micro sdhc class 6 card

I'm not really a huge app user, so app2sd isn't a huge deal for me (but who knows what might happen if/when i get root). I'm not sure if I'd be using cyanogen or a hero rom yet.. I'm still researching and whatnot.

Simm22 you wrote a very good guide i followed you guide and it worked like a dream. I was on hakuro before but i haven't touched my g1 since i got my iphone 3gs. Recently got bored with my 3gs so decide to play around with the g1 again. I went back from hakuro to 1.0 rc7 then followed your guide to update to the firmware that you guys are on these days.
thanks

why is that write up not working for me???

when i get to the point where i need to flash 1.6 and install ROM, it's not working. In recovery mode, i press Alt-l and it says:

Android system recovery utility
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

Then the usual Home+Back, Alt+L, Alt+S, and Alt+W
