Hey all

I have had my G1 a few months and find it ever more impressive by the day :P I've seen Jailbreaking and Cupcake being tossed around a lot and was wanting to do it, but I am on a contract with T-Mobile, if I jailbroke can they detect it? I am guessing that my warranty would be broken (for software problems) but is there any chance of them suddenly shutting my account off saying that im running a jailbroken phone?

Thanks

Chris

Hey i litterally just posted the following in another post....

CHECK THIS ISH OUT….curious I called TMO and the guy there didn’t even know what rooting is. after sitting on hold for a few minutes he came back and said as long as the actual rooting process does not damage the phone then you are ok, other wise if it does then you may be in a different boat. Essentially what he is saying is “no, rooting will not void warranty” Now, if you are going to call cause of some other issue it would behoove you to unroot however you will not void warrant.
I also asked about unlocking. Come to find out the have an I-Phone tech support knowing many iphone users jump aboard tmobile and will unlock your G1 if you have had service with them for 6 mos or more…and THAT will not void your warranty either.
See I alway thought unlocking your Iphone or whatever was not good and you would lose all tech support and warranty backing, but apparantly that’s not true. (sigh) there got it all out. I am so happy right now…




In Short, No they cannot detect you are running rooted software nor would they care. You can unroot your phone just as easy as rooting it. Look for the user JustJimJpc. He has the process in his siganture...im sure he will post in this thread sooner or later...

Hi all. I just bought T-Mobile G1 from ebay about a week ago and already unlocked it and I'm using Vodafone UK as my network provider.

My question is, can I remove the T-Mobile boot up logo by jailbreaking it?

Because I'm using Vodafone UK, can I still get the automatic system update?

My G1 firmware version is 1.5 & Build Number is CRB17. Does it mean I'm currently have the latest version?

Thanks for your help

I dont think the current root builds do anything with the T-Mobile Splash or the Android Splash ... but who cares ... (i dont) ..

My current rooted phone will/not get OTA auto-updates and I dont theink any of them will ... that's why the are rooted and to protect them from being loaded with a standard build would defeat that purpose ...

I am not sure about your exact version ... I am in the US .... but one of EU members should be able to confirm that Ver/Build ....
