Installed wrong version? - G1 Themes and Wallpapers

i accidently installed an rc30 version of a theme when i have rc33 and now my phone is stuck at the tmobile g1 screen? is there a way around this or am i screwed now?

Just re-flash the JF RC33 over top to restore your phone.

Just download a theme that is made for yours and do the update again.

damn it, i'm running rc9 ^^ hope they'll positive answer your question soon (about rc9 default theme)
cant you go to RC8 then to RC9??
Then i could directly reflash jf1.43 rc9, couldn't i?^^
won't lose my stuff.. well i guess i'll just have to wait
yes you can just reflash the jf update to go back to stock
Won't this will work like a hardreset and delete all my stuff?
No only if you do a hard reset.

All themes except 1 freezing on install

Hey guys. I'm pretty new here, and I've had my G1 for about a month, only rooted it just last week.
I've installed several themes with out problems... the most recent one I installed was the Super Mario theme by RandumAccess and it went in just fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=492398 (this theme)
However, I've since tried to install other themes and none work! They all freeze on the second loading screen, where it says (or usually does, at least) "android" followed by the flashing driod bot.
I've attempted to install three different themes and they all do the same thing. I'm forced to put the Mario theme back on my SD card (via another phone), then re-install it and it loads up just fine.
I'm hoping there's a way to fix with that doesn't result in wiping my phone, it's a pain to redownload all those friggin apps!
It will help us to help you if you can document the exact steps you took when trying to install the other themes sans Mario.
Thanks!
Have u tried reinstalling the original? That usually gets my phone back for me when testing my theme images.
I HAD the same problem too- trying to flash back to my own theme from sterriccson's comp theme. In the end i just stayed with the comp theme and modded it to my likings. I think it's a conspiracy to make us stay on that theme
could be many things, the file you installed could be corrupt, try copying it over to your sd car again, if that doesn't work, try downloading it again. Also do you have your apps saved to your sd card? That has been known to cause issues before, something I just had to work on with Dark Knight since it was a full update. One more thing to check, which themes are you installing that are freezing?
Sometimes its good to install a fresh JFv1.42 before you switch to a new theme because sometimes things from one theme will carry over to the next. And alot of these themes are pretty large. Maybe you should try RC33 Lite before installing another theme.

wow my theme is the only one? cool! LOL
Man you might need a wipe and start with a fresh jf1.42. I recommend to always do a back up and learn how to fastboot your back up to your phone. It gives you peace of mind to know that if anything happens like that you can always flash your back up and your phone is back to the state it was even if you have to wipe. No more reloading apps.
I love how he tells us what theme works on his phone but forgets to tell us what rom is installed on his phone.
You can not apply Any/All themes on any rom.
The themes have to be built for the rom your phone uses.

I like how you referred to me as if I'm not capable of replying to the thread.
I understand the fact that you cannot install any theme to any ROM. I always check to make sure it's a version compatible with mine.
I could have sworn I installed the JF 1.42, but in the bootloader it was JF 1.41...
It's RC33 as well. I figured most would just assume I have the latest update... why wouldn't you?
Since the Mario theme I've tried out FadetoBlue (didn't work after putting it on the SD card twice), minimalDroid (redownloaded, didn't work), and the standard RC33 theme that Stericson (I believe) posted.
Its not good to assume anything when doing technical stuff, you could have adp1.1 or RC 9, how do we know?
Never wipe first, not necessary, reinstall the JF 1.42 stock, then flash your theme, might need to remove the system tones, or put them on the sd.

I never mentioned that you're not capable of replying.
In my experience with this forum, nothing can be ASSUMED.
Especially with a phone that most newcomers are still trying to figure out.
The wording "I like how he" just sounded like you were addressing others about me, in my thread.
So I guess I'm willing to do a wipe and reinstall RC33, this time I'll just do RC33 Lite.
Anyways, my question is do I need to do something before hand? Or just throw the zip on my card and load from it? I hear you guys say "wipe," will I need to do something prior?

I flashed the no-round-corners theme this morning and haven't been able to use my phone ever since. Could you point me to a flashable theme that could recover it?
Its a 32A sapphire (MT3G) with CM6.1DS installed...
Thanks in advance!
Nevermind, I just went ahead and reflashed CM6.1DS...
This thread can be deleted
