Tether on your Rooted Android G1 (wifi)
Posted by Abolfazl in Other, tags: Android
Tethering allows you to use your internet connection on your G1 on your laptop or computer, giving your computer access to the internet wherever you go. This will require a rooted G1 as this is an unsupported feature and actually has the possibility of violating your cellular contract. However as long as you don’t use this as your primary internet source, download from p2p networks, or download large files; your cellular provider won’t even know. This is great for those times you want to check a page or chat but are tired of using the small device to di it.
If you wish to Root your Android G1 we have a guide here.
Installing Wifi Tether
Navigate to http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ from your phone’s browser or email yourself the download link
If you know what QR Code is you can scan the code found at the bottom of their page
Click on the download found on the right side of the above page
Open the download once it is finished, If it complains about it not being from the google market:
Click settings and check “Unknown Sources”
Click Ok and then reopen the download
Click Install
When install is done click “Open”
Tethering
Launch the App
Touch the green symbol.
Join your computer to the wireless network your Android G1 just made.
Browse the web.
Configuration (Menu > Setup)
Enable/Disable Bluetooth Tether.
Wifi Encryption / Passphrase (Require Password to Get on the Network, must be a 13-character key)
Change SSID (Wireless Network Name)
Enable Access Control (Only computers you specify can access, uses MAC Addresses.)
Helpful Hints
Enable 3G on your phone (Settings>Wireless>Mobile Networks). Your Tether speed is only as fast as your G1’s Speed
Have your phone be charging (AC or USB) because 3G drains your phones battery
Don’t make your passcode easy to guess. Be sure to change it often

Root (jailbreak) an Android G1
Posted by Abolfazl in Other, tags: Android
With all the hype about jailbreaking the iPhone, we figured we would give you a guide on “jailbreaking”(rooting) the G-1. You will lose the ability to upgrade OTA (Over-The-Air) as it would kill your root, your phone is still upgradable, it just won’t do it on its own. We are going to reflash the device, so please backup any data you may need such as your contacts!
This process should take the average user 15-30 minutes to do and will “void” your warranty, however it is possible to hide the evidence so you are still covered!(Details at the bottom)
Note: This guide is US Only, UK People please ask in the forums if you need a help with rooting your device.
What you gain:
Ability to alter system files, this means you can now do things like installing a new theme
Run special apps such as tether.
Backup your entire system
Relocate your applications/cache to your /sdcard
The Process
Downgrade to RC29
Obtain root
Upgrade to desired ROM
Downgrading to RC29
Download the RC29 NBH file.
Connect your Android G1 to your computer so we can write to your SDCard
Place this file on your sd card (it is best if you format the card to FAT32 before this step, if you run into errors try that).
Turn the device power off and make sure your sd card is inserted.
Hold down the camera button while you turn on your phone to enter bootloader.
Once in the bootloader press the camera button.
After it finishes, press the trackball and perform a soft reset by pressing “Call” + “Menu” + “End” to reboot.
Obtain Root
Once your phone boots to the desktop hit the
On your phone download Android Telnet client run it and connect to “localhost”. If you are unable to connect, try steps 1 and 2 over again until you can. Also, you can try doing a factory wipe (alt+w in the recovery menu) and retrying if all else fails.
Upgrading ROM
Download CyanogenMod v3.4.6 ROM to /sdcard and rename it to update.zip (when you are done it should be “/sdcard/update.zip”).
Download the modified recovery and unzip it.
Place”cm-recovery-1.2.img” in /sdcard
We will now need to flash the modified recovery so go back to the “root-terminal” previously used and Enter the following commands:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm -f /system/recovery.img
flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.2.img
Reboot your phone, but do not do a recovery yet.
Once fully rebooted, power off your phone (hold power and select “Power Off”),
Turn your device on and hold home until you enter the recovery console
When you enter the recovery console hit “alt+S” on your phone. This will flash the update.zip file that you downloaded and placed there. If you have any problems with this step you missed something above.
Back Out / Unroot
Incase you started this process or wish to restore it back in order to go back “in warranty” we have a guide here.

Unroot and Restore your Android G1 to Factory Settings
Posted by Abolfazl in Other, tags: Android
This will completely restore your G1 software to what it was like out of the box. We recommend doing this whenever you will be giving physical possession of your phone away for long periods of time, such as when you sell, replace, and/or send it in for repair. Not only will this hide any software modifications you have done which basically “unvoids” your warranty but also clear out your personal data.
If you have custom splash2:
You will need to erase it before you start this tutorial
On your computer extract this to your desktop
Turn off your phone
Plug it into your computer by USB
Load into fastboot (Hold Camera & Power button)
If you see “serial0″ hit the “back” key and it should say “FASTBOOT” now
On your computer go to Start>Run. Type in “cmd” and push enter
type in “cd desktop” then enter
Then type “fasboot erase splash2″ then push enter
Once your custom splash(if had) is gone:
Ensure your phone is connected and you can write to /SDCard
Download the Original G1 SPL and rename it to “update.zip”
Copy update.zip to /SDCard
Go into your phones recovery (Hold the home & power button)
Push Alt+S on your G1 to flash it with update.zip
Download the RC29 NBH and place it in the root of your SDCard
Load your phones bootloader (Hold the Camera & Power button)
Press the Power button to start the update (Do NOT interrupt this process)
Hit the action key (Trackball down) and your phone will reboot.
At this point your phone will be unrooted but it will have the out-of-date RC29. Your phone should download updates OTA(Over The Air) soon but you can also force this by going to Settings>About phone>System Updates
