i'm trying to do this to my g1 but it's a little vauge for someone who has never attempted this. i.e: me
step#5 at the bottom listed to wipe and flash the phone, so i looked up how to flash the g1 on this forum and it seemed to require going back to rc29, which i did.
only problem is, step#2 listed to extract step#1 in to the "ext2" partition, which no longer exists after i put my phone back to rc29.
i just installed jesusfreke's rc33 thinking maybe "ext2" was only on rc33 or something, and "ext2" still is not there. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
oh and i'm new, sorry if this has been posted...went through a ton of pages on this forum and didn't see any posts about it, might have overlooked it while scrolling through wall after wall after wall of posts

Dude, you need a Class 6 sdcard that has two primary partitions on it - first a FAT32 and second a EXT2 (although EXT3 is now preferred). Search for APPS2SD or A2SD and you should find many threads on how to do that.

sinoeth thanks for that link..i used sdsplit to create the partition on my sdcard and it says it was successful. when i check the status of the card, sdsplit says it has a fat32 and an ext2 partition.
only problem is, when i mount my phone to my computer and open my sdcard drive, it shows NOTHING. no folders, files, or anything. any ideas? or am i just too retarded to handle this tough task
Its not going to show on your pc unless your running a linux operating system.
I'm a stranger to this side, but I don't think this is a DEV question... Has anybody had any luck getting flash to work on the Hero browser? I've been trying to see video stills (youtube play button on screen) with no luck. I've checked and unchecked the Mobile View button to no avail. Hope someone has been able to get it working.
0. Make sure phone is hard-spl first
1. Make sure SD card is formatted with fat-32
2. rename the image file (ruu_signed.nbh) to rhodimg.nbh, then copy that to the ROOT OF THE MICRO SD CARD, Insert card into phone
3. Set your phone in bootloader (Hold the "volume down" and hold the power on button until you see the tri-color screen.
4. Then follow the on-screen instruction
5. (OPTIONAL) -after flash, make sure to hardreset (pull battery, insert battery then hold green and red PHONE buttons (send/end) and hold powerbutton) follow onscreen instruction.
thanks for the info
I've tried the above and somehow it won't work on my TP2, it stays at "Serial" text in the white box, I'm assuming it already went past the SD slot then? Checking for the image.
I have the Energy rom loaded on the SD card, named as explained in the first post in this topic, it is placed in the root of the SD card, no folders or other files exist on that card. I removed the SIM card from the phone just to be sure. Is there anything I am missing, or is there anyone else who actually used this method to flash his or her device?
Info:
SPL: OliNex 0.85
ROM: |RHOD|6.5|ROM|WWE| ★ EnergyROM "Warhawk" (23016) ★ | Built Aug 21 |Manila 2.5 / 2.1|
SD Card: 4GB MicroSDHC (No brand on card, supplied with the branded T-Mo TP2 (Vario V)
Formatted: fat-32
Thanks
The nbh file needs to be in capital letters! RHODIMG.nbh
And step 5 isnt to be done until the "Tap screen to set up device" screen!
Just reset when your phone says Update successful!
And done, name changed to the correct format. No luck. Reformatting the card now to see if that changes anything. Update in a few.
And that too didn't work sadly. Either someone here notices I'm doing something wrong, or I'll just wait till I get near a machine natively running Windows Running Mac OS here so can't run the executable, and read that it's not quite a good idea to flash it from a virtual OS.

You will want to partition your card so the nbh image is in a partion of at the largest 1G, anything larger makes it hard for the phone to find and read the nbh file! I have a 1G card just for flashing and it works perfect! And it also may be the mac, they never play nice with windows!
It's not the mac screwing it up in this case as I am using a virtual Windows OS to work on the card. (MacOS leaves some folders on the card that I don't want on it)
Will try partitioning the card, cheers. I'll update when I know more. ANd thanks for the help ^_^
Update:
Partioned the MicroSD card to 0.5GB, no change sadly.
thanks for information
Ok, SD update worked now, however, step 5 won't go (Oh crap...) Have the grey screen with "Update Complete" and "UPDATE SUCCESS" However, it won't do anything if I hold down Send/End/Power at the same time for over 10 seconds. How long should that take normally? What's my best option right now? Can't see any other than to unplug the phone and take out the battary, however, will this brick it?

When is says "UPDATE SUCCESS", just rest with the stylus.

Thanks for the swift reply! Done it, it's booting up as I am typing this. Didn't quite have the guts to just do that without having read I could when flashing from SD. (Was unsure how the device would react to soft reset then a first booth with the SD present etc)
Anyways, rambling. Thanks!
these post are telling me how to flash while the rom is already on the phone, but i'm missing the step on how to get the rom file on the phone in order to move it to the sd card.......... how do i get the file to the phone? do i put it onto the phone from the computer or do i go to my browser on my phone and download it from there to the phone

Everything you need to know is HERE. I really suggest you fully read the instructions so you avoid bricking your phone by mistake.
In re: making sure you're hardspl'd first, does that still apply if you're flashing an official ROM? Or just for user cooked ROMs?
I'm about to update my Verizon TP2 with the newly released official 6.5 from verizon. I'm not hard spl'd, and honestly, know very little about that particular modification.
not for official
I dont think you have to be hard SPL'd for an official ROM. I think everything is included in the ROM package. (at least for T-Mobile it is)
btw the .nbh does not have to be named in all capitals. I have personally done it both ways with no problems at all. RHODIMG.nbh works just as well as rhodimg.nbh

Thanks for the quick response!
Sadly, the way the install file is set up to work, I can't get to the nbh file. It insists on installing that via an active sync connection. I was hoping it would extract from the exe and schedule it for active sync installation, then I could hunt down the ROM, copy it to my SD card, and run it from there.

hmm.. sorry for kicking this post, but you can unpack the exe-file with winrar. just grab the biggest file you can find (RUU_signed.nbh, and rename it to rhodimg.nbh), copy it to your root-folder (fast way for accessing bootloader is to also copy the "EnterBootLoader.exe" -file to your SD-card, and to start that file after copying both the files). Now just enter the bootloader, and it works! (don't be scared when the screen goes black for a moment, and the bootloader has reloaded. It's meant to do that )
I still have a little question by the way: is it possible to flash the hardSPL this way? or should i rename it to something else?
No, Hard SPL needs to be done from the PC as it checks IMEI online and IP address. You only get 1 licence, can ask for more or purchase more licences, but it can't be done any other way...

Yeah, it's a pity this has been done (though I understand why...)
My device cannot connect to PC anymore, so cannot use HSPL anymore!

Much obliged. I've actually been scared off the official vzw 6.5 because of issues upgraders have reported, but someday I'll put that to use.
Im sorry if i posted this in the wrong section; I have no clue where im suppose to post this ;\. Anyway, i followed this tutorial trying to jailbreak my g1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOo2V9qCauc. I downloaded the RC29(From the youtube tut) and put it into my sdcard and turned it off and on by holding the power and camera button. So i got to the part where it asked me to update my image but when i finished i got a update terminated msg instead of complete\successful. Then it kicked me to the colorful\rainbow screen with red green blue and white. I have no clue what i did wrong and no idea what im suppose to do now, can't turn off the phone or anything. Can somebody please help ;x! Thanks
I desperately wanted to post and say to say it failed bc you think your phone is an iphone (jailbreak). However, after reading your post i would say abandon a video and follow the root guide that is a sticky on here... look at the information thread above your post and look in there for the root guide.
When it says to get a recovery.img get cyans in the development thread. When it says get a rom, get cyans 4.0.2 stable cupcake... when you are all done i rec the community hero theme.
I typed all of that and this thread was right below yours

Dang i took out the battery and turn the phone back on but i went back to the update image part >_>; . No matter which choice i choose i end up at the colorful screen....(Choices are either update or not)
is your rc-29 named DREAIMG.nbh exactly named that caps and all. also is your sdcard formatted to fat32.
Snail....
I went to bed last night thinking you were fine. Could you post exactly what steps you have done? If you press red (power) + menu + green (call) your phone will reboot (no need to pull the battery).
Did you remove (delete using your computer) the .nbh file when you put the image and update.zip file on your SD? Did you get the files from the site you visited for the video?
I strongly suggest following my first post.
Just like everyone else said, follow our guides instead of some video on youtube. Make sure your card is formatted to fat32 and try to update again. If that still doesn't work it might have been a bad download. So download DREAIMG.nbh (RC29) again. You can check the MD5sum to make sure its a good download and update again. And by the way jailbreaking ain't the same as rooting.

These are the steps i've done
1.Copy and Paste all the files within my sd card to my pc.
2.Changed my sdcard into fat32
3.Dragged the dream.nbh or w\e that i got from the video tut into my sd card.
4.Turned off my phone by holding the power button.
5.On by holding power and camera.
6.Then i got to the update image part and pressed power to update, buy failed to update and now end up stuck at the color screen.
I've tried to reboot and everything but everytime i turn it back on it always goes back to the color screen T___T

Have you redownloaded the DREAIMG.nbh file. It was prolly just a bad download. Happens all the time, thats why you wanna check the MD5sum.

as mentioned before sub in Cyans recovery image version 1.4 *you will thank me* and Cyans 4.0.2 rom *you will thank me*

Yea I do its supremeteam256 on aim. I'm at work now so I can't do it on my computer and my phone signal might be hit or miss, but I'll still log on just deal with me if it shows me cuttin in and out. But what your going to have to do is either put the new DREAIMG.nbh on your sd card either by a card reader or another electronic device that you can transfer files over to the sd card. And the last option will be to mount your card using ADB and just push the file to your sd card. But as of right now it sounds like you can't access your phone because of the bad file. So once you get that file on your card then you would be able to boot holding camera + power and apply RC29. You'll be straight after that.
Yay got through with the image update part and now im stuck at the setup wizard part. Somehow my phone has problem with communicating with google servers when i type in my google account. And yes i don't have internet. I canceled it because i got this when it first came out and for the first 1-2months nothing worked on it such. None of the messengers work D:< so i had no use of internet so i end up cutting it xD.

You don't open it... it's utility
open command prompt (window key +R, type cmd) from there you can run adb commands (adb shell, adb pull, adb push or whatever else you need)

Hello
After a couple of days of hunting a new update for my new phone, I got to a dead end.
After trying multiple ways (most of them are from here so I will post only 2-3 links): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732362 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3695364&postcount=4 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211 , the problem was the same. After sync and starting installation via USB (phone freezes) and SDcard (phone freezes automatically with starting Heret.exe) I don't know and really can't find a way how to remove WM6.5 (and put android) or someway update or install a fresh version.
I hope someone will be willing and able to help me with this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Dude, what *exactly* is your issue? From what I can see, you're trying to install android and it's not working for you..
Either way, first, format your SD before trying anything. See if that will get your phone to respond. If not, get a new one. The problem with SD cards is, when they fail (or get corrupted), it can cause your phone to "almost freeze". Instantly fixed by removing the SD. And booting the phone without it usually allows the phone to work normally.
The SD is brand new (4GB), and I also tried with 5 other SD cards (2 and 4 GB's).
I don't think it's to the SD card's, its more to the damn phone and I have no clue how to reinstall WM or put Android on it. And that the issue, how to prevent completely freezing while sync via USB and boot from SD card.
Hope you understand better now neocyke
Well, honestly dude, a T5388 is not exactly a TD2, so, what would work on an actual TD2 might not for you. Based on my experiences with clones, best is to flash with no SD in. Try visiting this thread and use the ROM there. Get the IDT flasher and work your way from there. Oh, and you might wanna remove Activesync or WM Device center before flashing.. Good luck with that..
As for android, installation for XDAndroid is the simplest thing in the world. Just unzip the FRX06 zip file to a folder (andboot is usually used). Take the topaz startup and put in the root of that folder (remember to edit as needed). Then copy *the entire folder* and dump it on the root of your SD. Run Haret from WM and that's it. Just wait for it to boot.. But then, this is assuming that your phone is supported by XDAndroid of course. You might wanna check that in the android dev section..
Hello. I have a Tmobile G1, though its unlocked and I use it in other country.
I got it unrooted, installed cyanogen 6 then got bored of the speed and tried to go with lazlo. Dunno what I did but I got a total brick. no response. I took it to a technical service and they managed to get it to turn on, but now I cant do anything else.
This is what I get so far
Turning it on ->shows T mobile, then blank
Power+Home ->blank
Power+Camera ->Red green blue white screen

I was told to try to install the RC29 DREAIMG.nbh trough a FAT32 formatted card
and I get
Checking...
00028002
not allow
I don't know what else to try, can anyone lend a hand?
EDIT
also, I have a nandroid backup, but no way of restoring it, maybe that helps?
i faced the same problem last month...
1st, wipe ur sd card, rename it to sdcard and format it....
then download a good version of the dreaimg.nbh file...
http://www.4shared.com/file/etbtDlz2/DREAIMGnbh.html
it is a 46 mb file, u have to extract it on ur pc, then copy the file and keep it on ur phone's sd card...not in any folder, mind you.
then turn on ur phone via camera+power...
phone will get the file, and will flash the .nbh file.
also, make it sure that u have enough power in ur battery...
takes about 15 mins only.
i went to my stock android(1.0) as a result, then rooted again and now am on 2.3.2...
hope this helps
let me explain step by step....
sdcard-fat 32 format....yes....
then download the dreaimg.nbh file from the link, extract the zip on ur pc, then copy the extracted dreaimg.nbh(almost 85-90mb file) to the root of ur sdcard, dont rename, nothing at all...
after that, put ur sdcard in the phone, turn the phone on via camera+power, into the hboot screen, phone will find the dreaimg.nbh file and then it'll ask u to start update....press the action button, and u r good to go...takes about 10 mins to finish the process... and if u r still rooted, flash any rom as per ur requirements.
-I did a low level format on my card (2gb kingston)
-format in fat32
-download the file, copy in root
-started with cam+power
Same issue, got the 00028002 error.
maybe I need to format the thing in some other way?
Thanks!
u zipped the file and then kept the .nbh file in ur sd card's root? also u renamed ur "sdcard"???
try once more, in ur sdcard keep the zip file and the .nbh image also. then try. hope it works out this once.
good luck!!!
after downloading the file, u extracted the zip?
after extraction, copy whatever is extracted into your sdcard.
luck!!!!
yes, extracted the DREAIMG.nbh to the root. Nothing else in the sdcard.
SDcard is formatted and named "sdcard"
Still 00028002 error.
www.4shared.com/file/9izdCbvo/DREAIMG.html
Yup, thats the one I used
your phone is us or uk model???
u tried both the links i gave???
nothing yet?
well,there has to be a plan B somewhere
ok i don't have the answer for you but i remember trying to help someone about a month or 2 ago with the same issue and he got it fixed some how... think some to do with orange.nbh file or something.. i forget but try to search the Q&A section of G1 forum for the same issue... you'll find it eventually hope this helps..
Its marked TMOBILE, so Im gonna guess its US model.
Im wondering if its the sd card, if its getting rejected for some reason.
I read about the goldcard, but since its bricked I cant get the CID.
maybe from my nandroid backup?
IDRIFTA: yeah, I tried that one as well Im not sure where to keep going, now.
my phone too says t-mobile but it's germany i guess u should try hanging ur sdcard and repeat the process all over,starting with formatting!!!
and heck out for other dreaimg.nbh's as well...
will try searching tomorrow..
Most likely your phone is from Singapore ... There should be a thread here in this form (I think it started around May 2009) about rooting such a phone. Not sure if it will help you, but you can probably find some links which might help you.
Sent from my Gingerbread on Dream using XDA App
Will look for the corresponding dreaimg.nbh for singapore then, thanks!
edit:
tried rc29 and rc7, to the same error. Is there any other version I should be trying?
Thanks
edit2:
I have seen many posts with the same error mentioning the goldcard, is it possible to make one with my nandroid backup?
Bumping, just in case someone that can help me sees the thread. I know its not good forum manners, but I could really use some help.
