Upgrading Android G1 From Older CyanogenMod Versions to 4.2.3.1
I finally got around to upgrading to the latest Android CyanogenMod (4.2.3.1), and my G1 is noticeably faster now. Cyanogen must have done some serious optimizing, so this update is definitely worth the trouble. I’ll spare you the details, but if you are upgrading from a Cyanogen Mod version lower than 4.1.99, this update will put you back in compliance with Google’s Terms of Use. It was a pretty simple upgrade once I found the right instructions (there are lots out there).
Keep in mind that by providing these instructions I am not agreeing to provide you with technical support for the rest of your life. The instructions are for the G1 ONLY, so if you have a MyTouch or something else you will need to look elsewhere. Use at your own risk, blah, blah, blah…

This guide will tell you how to upgrade from an older version of CyanogenMod to the latest and greatest versions!
- Download: Android 1.6 Recovery Image. Look for the 1.6 recovery image called “signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip.” FWIW, you won’t be able to download it from your phone because there is a weird popup license you need to agree to.
- Download Cyanogen’s ROM (v4.2.3.1 – stable version, updated 10/31):
