Cheers Simms, not much goin on round here just yet. And yourself?

Thanks for the help tonight. You're my bud!

Thanks Simms you rock!

Hey, guy. I've not been online so much lately. Just wanted to send a smile & a hello.

Just wondering if it is possible to root and load a ROM without a computer (I currently am running the stock 1.6 on a G1). My computer recently died and I do not have access to one at the moment and I'm tired of waiting for updates and such. I have done my fair share of reading up on the subject and have yet to be able to find anything that says if I am able to do this (other than your instant root for 1.5). I currently have ASTRO installed for unzipping and file renaming, if that helps. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I really appreciate your credible and prompt responses. Please accept my befriend request.

hey simms, whats up man. just curious if you could answer a quick question. Amon Ra's Recovery v1.2.3 you have the option to do a wipe dalvik-cache on SD not /data. What exactly does this option do if you apply it? I mean what exactly is dalvik cache do you need it? Am I allowed apply the "wipe dalvik-cache option" and my phone will still be alright?

hi simms! it seems that you're the one that can help me, I'm going to use the guide on your signature to root my G1. my question is, can I take it slowly? i mean the steps. because I don't have wifi on our place and on the rooting part I need to DL the telnet client trough market, Can I root w/o getting being connected online(phone)?

nvm its not broken idk wtf is wrong lolol i just can't mount it for some dumb reason

any STEP by STEP guides on how to apply the steps on the Ramon's RA recovery to start fresh on wiping a SD card &then partitioning it? i got a 8GB memory card but i'm not sure if i partitioned it right the first time, it does show a primary storage &secondary storage but i'm still iffy on my procedure, it was my first time. I want to wipe my SD, reformat, 8GB memory card so 512MB to EXT2? then eventually EXT3/4? &the rest FAT32 i think thats right. All i know is that 512MB for EXT2/3/4/ should be more than enough i could have up to 500APPS &probably still not fill up the space. Help? I realized that all the zip's &folders data etc is on the SD CARD so if i power down &then HOME+END to go to recovery &the Amon Ra's recovery loads up &i choose the WIPE SD what then happens to my data i lose everything, can't i sort of be fckd if i don't do the steps correctly? Sort of scared. Help?
