Rogers G1

I just got my hands on the new G1 that's been marketed for the Canadian provider Rogers. The phone doesn't get released till wednesday.
It runs the 1.5 firmware (customized for the Rogers brand).
Wondering if anyone is interested in a dump off this phone.

Yes we are interested in a dump of that freaking phone

Please dump I will be glad to give it haykuro if you cant get in contact with him

What's the big thing about the Rodgers G1? Been hearing a lot about it on here.

It's an "official" version ROM with the HTC custom applications like Exchange. Kind of like Haykuro's 6.0, but fully working.

I'd like to know the same thing.... who says it's running anything different than the vanilla cupcake ROM?

We know this for sure? Would be nice if it had some fully working un-watermarked 'Rosie' features... Yeah... I need to go to bed...

Rogers is claiming that it's HTC branded firmware. I'm sure the OP can confirm. It's definitely not Rosie, that stuff is unreleased alpha-quality code.

I believe it's been confirmed numerous times that it has exchange from HTC since it's not a "with Gooogle" phone.

sadly every dialog is suffixed with ',eh' - all occurances of 'about' have been replaced with 'aboot,' and the 'ou' naming scheme has been implemented for words like colour.

Correct. There is no mention of "Google" anywhere on the phone. I've attached a few pictures.

But since I'm a noob at the whole android thing, I need some help dumping this ROM.
- From the searching I've done, I'm guessing that Nandroid 2.0 is the tool to use?
- Do I need root access to do a ROM dump?
Any idiot proof guides out there I can use to get this done for you guys?

Yeah it's going to need rooted for a full dump. Does it have fastboot? (power + camera)
But we also know what most of this firmware is going to be like, you can probably get away with an "adb pull /system system" and get us most of the stuff we need to start hacking on it.

Here's what the POWER+CAMERA button show

then get fastboot set up and do:

that is interesting, eng bootloader and not a single thing about google. Google free in so many ways. And to think H just blessed us with Hero with Rosie and now this.
I <3 Android.

I see that the radio's different as well. Is there a way to get that off the phone as well?

As much as I don't believe this.. I'm going to test this out..Get back to ya.

I'm mildly skeptical as well. Sadly, I'm going to wait for someone else to brick their phone first...if the update even passes sign checks. Sorry, don't believe it

I'm not worried about bricking my Eris, as I don't even use it anymore. So I'll attempt to flash this as soon as it's done downloading from that crappy, slow host.

if you want to test put it on your sd card in your phone then place the card back in your phone and boot it up by holding power and call, pretty easy from there

no you hold volume down and power when booting after putting the zip in the root of your sd card
hboot will show up white with green text
let it run, tell it to install, follow the steps done.

I guess I'll let you know if it works. Don't take the risk.
I have an Eris I don't use.

I was able to download it but am looking for input from other members prior to putting this on my only currently working phone. Viva la 2.1 (maybe)!!!!

Finally a XX rom .

I'll check this one out. Hope it's better than KK5. I had a ton of problems with Market on KK5, so this will be the first area I check.
Now if we can get JKay Mod and CF-Root for this, all is well.

Nice, thanks for linking the ROM

Watch out for the new bootloader though - flash the old one back after to reset your counter

This ROM is wipe.

What's the battery life like on this firmware ;-) LOL

Is there a problem if you never reset the flash-counter? Do you have a flash limit or something?

Hello,
maybe this can be, one of the Market trouble: when you go on My App you don't see any app but only this written "applications and games owned by this account will appear here" . i really hope to solve this problem with KL1, i've tried everyway
I hope what I wrote is understandable

which country is this firmware? search through fus downloader but cant seem to find it...
hotfile is slow for me >.<

Yes! That is the exact problem.
I REALLY hope this ROM fixes it, because I'm very frustrated by this.

There's no limit that I am aware of, but if your phone shows a non-Samsung firmware has been flashed (or even a non-original kernel), then Samsung can refuse to honor the warranty on the phone - that's why its good to reset the counter

Waiting for a Frankenstein release.

Have you done a backup for TWRP and did you notice?

So I decided to run a quick backup of the phone system files with TWRP and I noticed that it has a system_image.emmc.win file that are 6GB in size. My question is this. Is this a complete image of the phone's base setup so when things go south we can use this file to go back to? Or is it something else??

I see a lot of backups which one should I use to reinstall the OS? DO i need to install them all or just system.img only?

To the best of my knownledge, you don't want or need that system.img in your backups. I know on my nexus 6p you don't use it. big waste of space. Perhaps something a dev needs???

I would think that big image file would be the image used for a factory reset with all the program, system file and such so they can just reset it quick and easy. And if that is the case, wouldn't that be what is needed by the devs?

That's not how it went down. He inadvertently wiped system. And he did know how to fix it, he just didn't have the resource that he needed at hand and was asking for it. What, you've never made a misstep while working on something?

I'm pretty surprised that such an important file isn't already widely available. I expected easy unlocking/rooting and custom ROMs at this point. Has this phone not been available for a while now in the US? What's holding everything back?
Anyway, if you could somehow make that file available again I'm sure I wouldn't be the only grateful one.

Any other place you can upload it to? It might be the only way for the bootloader unlocked group to get future updates (if it was captured without b20_boot).
