HTC DREAM G1 SPL + Build help please :) - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well, I followed the HOW-TO's... and sort downgraded my phone from HTC cupcake build to RC29... then I rooted my phone first and then directly loaded the J.F 1.51 (latest update by JF on the blog)
But here's the problem... (DOH!) forgot the install the new radio first!!!
Now i have JF1.5 with RADIO-1.22.12.29 (I know i need to install the radio with the ending that has 26I)... I already put on the HardSPL and have the PVT board
and here's my question:: I dont 3G as it is (AT ALL)... I got rid of the data plan a while back...
now Should I go ahead and perform the Update with the new radio without worrying? Do i Need to? or would I have to do anything else???
Thanks a lot every one!!
Here's the Radio Information and everything.
Here's what I have when i click the camera button + Power::

I would downgrade to RC29, re-root, re-update to JF1.51, update the radio, then finally update the spl. Whew, think I got the steps correct!

Help flashing SPL, Radio and a Hero ROM to a HTC Dream?

Hey all,
I have a HTC Dream that has the following setup:
"Android on Skateboards" SPL
Maxishma's OS Build (4/Aug/09)
512MB Apps2SD EXT2 Partition
32MB Swap Partition
I'm thinking of installing this build on my HTC Dream, but it says something about needing a new SPL and Radio. I didn't want to risk bricking my phone, so I wanted to ask the community first.
On bootloader mode, I get the following:
DREA110 PVT 32B
HSPL10.95.3000
CPLD-4
RADIO-1.22.12.29

In the radio and SPL flashing guide, it said something about it having to be DREA100 or something. I wasn't sure.
Could someone please guide me the steps? I'm eager to try some of the Hero builds, and I'm just wanting to play it safe and not end up with a brick.
Thanks in advance,
Coburn64.
you have a pvt board so you should be good as long as you follow directions and FLASH RADIO BEFORE SPL. mayble one more time for the people in the brick seats. thats radio before the spl. but i digress. you should be all set as far as phone requirements. just make sure to read up on it so that you know all the steps and you to can run hero.
Yep just like David said your phone meets the requirements but read and reread before you do anything. Radio first then spl. And after you load spl you will have to flash a new rom cause the spl overwrites your existing rom. Just to let you know so your not freaked out.
Thanks for all the tips and info! I'll try this tonight and report back with any problems.
I've done a nandroid backup as well, does it save all your emails/contacts, etc?
Thanks again.
Nand saves your exact image including emails/contacts/messages?app settings. It will not save anything that's on your SD card so if you format your card you will need to re-download everything.
Good luck

Problem with G1 rooted

Hi everybody
I rooted a G1, I downgrade it with 29RC, then I made the installation of the recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0 following the flashed the radio (G1-radio-2_22_23_02 and the spl (Latest G1 SPL). I used the 1.6 DRD 3611745 test-keys rooted firmware.
Everything is working well, but when I try to install a firmware as update-cm-6.0.0-DS-RC3-signed, Chromatic 4.4 or extreme-froyo an error showed:
Code:
getprop("ro.bootloader")=="1.33.2011" II ( this message is repeated on the G1)
E:Error in /sdcard/update-cm-6.0.0-DS-RC3-signed (Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Also I tried to update it with update-cm-5.0.7-DS-test3-signed and it was accepted but it does not boot, it stay with the G1 logo.
What could be wrong?, I restore with my rooted backup (1.6) and it work again without problems.
Your comments with be appreciated.

Since no one else has answered I'll give it a try. The 1.33.2011 bootloader line sounds fishy on a G1. What does the actual bootloader screen say? (Camera+Power startup)

Ok what he is mainly asking you is in bootloader you see the spl. That's what he's saying looks fishy. The rest of what you got looks ok. So tell him what spl your reading in bootloader. And what your bootloader looks like.

Thank you, the spl read as follow:
HSPL10.95.3000
Ok well you know you flashed the radio if it says 2.22.23.02. You have the pvt goin on. So now for the scary part. 1.33.2005 danger spl. As long as you have that radio your good. But make sure ya hear me!!!! When you flash rc29 it will downgrade that radio. So you have to reflash it. BEFORE danger spl 1.33.2005
Good luck may the force be with you!!!
sent from superfroyo dream
So just make sure you go into bootloader holding camera+power button together. Make sure you have radio 2.22.23.02 then you may flash the 1.33.2005 danger spl. Then when you go back into bootloader you'll see the new spl. And the bootloader will have three android skateboarders on it. Then you know your good. And then boot recovery. Wipe. Flash the rom .zip from sdcard. See the problem your having is the spl you have right now. Can't handle the size of the rom your trying to flash.

Thank you very much, that was the problem as I see I used a wrong spl. But when I hold the camera+power button together I have the three android skateboard on it. Right now I have the G1 with the 1.6 version rooted. In order to make it works for future firmware versions I will need to unroot the G1 with downgrade it again to the RC29, then downgrade the original radio and spl and start from scratch. Or only reflash the new radio and reflash spl but using the danger version.
PD
This G1 is not my is from a friend, but compared with my G1 and it has the danger spl, I will need to reflash the danger spl to my friends' G1.

Why you guys want to install always DangerSPL? It's never needed, there are much more flexible and more secure ways to get enough space for FroYo-ROMs.
Only my 2 cent.
Andisa has a point. Not super needed anymore. But its just what I run. And once you got it the first time. No headache or chances after that. But no when you change roms you do not need to go and do that all over again to answer your question. So now if you have the proper radio and spl. You installed a custom recovery. Now go ahead put zip file on sd wipe and flash. You should be good to go.

In my own G1, I have the danger spl installed too and never have had any problems with it, in this case, when I was flashing this G1 I knew that I was using the last radio but when I was ready to flash the spl I saw that I had two versions, the Latest G1 SPL, and haykuro_new_spl-signed.
I had selected the Lastest G1, After that I flashed with the last roms mentioned above and here I am trying to fix this. All the ways, the 1.6 is running smooth. Thank you for all and I am very happy to all your help.

[Q] how i can know what spl i have?(htc g1 dream)

hi, i want to know what spl i have.
when i press power buttom + camare buttom i read something like tis:
Drea100 pvt 32b
hboot-0.92.0000
cpld-4
radio-2.22.23.02
and i want to know how to update my spl to the last version and update radio too.
thanks. and sorry for my english LOL
and another question, I flash my dream g1 1.6 to 2.2.1 (with tis guide:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825716) but now my cellphone dont have 3g and i cant use wifi,and i dont know how to watch videos know D:!, HOW I CAN FIX THAT?
help please!, no one is going to answer?
Your SPL is the HBOOT number you got. The ROM you are trying to flash doesn't specify any specific SPL but the generally recommended SPLs are Danger SPL, or the newer SPL in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139

[Q] No recov, No fastboot, but I have OS

I have a Rogers Dream/G1 with T-Mobile rc29 rom (doh!), which works and is usable but I want to get back to CM5. Please show me the way or put me out of my misery if its hopeless.
Recovery hangs at Tmobile G1 screen.
Fastboot gives me "00028002 Not Allow" code then is stuck with serial0.
DREA210 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-1.22.12.29
Tried Adb to get amon-ra 1.7.0, but still won't boot into recovery and is stuck at G1 screen. No memory error, just an immediate echo of the "flash_image recovery data/local/recovery.img" command after I hit enter.
fastboot won't show my device in cmd when at the 4colored screen but adb does recognize.
I'm pretty sure I mixed up the radio and spl, but does having access to the OS give me any options?
Please, point me in the right direction.
****SOLVED**** see Post#20 for my conclusion.
Download clockwork recovery, flash clockwork, then you'll have recovery?
Not sure tho, I think this was how I did it.
I think what you're talking about is ROM Manager, it includes Clockwork Recovery if I understand the dev's description correctly. I haven't tried it myself though.
Seems to me, that he is on a stock ROM and doesn't have root access.
If the phone is booting, a chance could be, to install 1-click-root (don't know how it is called exactly, but you can google for it) and then from there to install a custom recovery. After that, you can install CM5 or something else. Probably first I would install is an engineering SPL (1.33.2003 for example) which supports fastboot. With your current SPL you will not have a chance to get fastboot running.
But be careful: 1.33.2003 supports only radio version 1.x and 2.x. I am not sure if 1.33.2003 is the best solution for you, because you have a rogers dream.
i recomend the old way.. get the fflashrecapk. and use io file manager to flash it.. only problem is you need to be 1.5 if your on 1.6 than you need to downgrade.. but that would be difficult since you have no recovery lol
While a bit more work.. before all the how to's confuse you into bricking your phone, I'd make yourself a gold card, and use it to flash the orange nbh from the 2708+ thread.. (rename to DREAIMG.nbh and place on the goldcard, then boot with camera+power it will ask you to flash it)
Once you have the orange rom you will have fastboot and a 2.x radio.. if you don't need the 3.22 radio .. just flash the 2708+ radio+spl+hboot as per normal followed by a rom.. if you do need the 3.22 radio (rogers customer who has not signed the wavier and wishes to keep data) either flash the rogers e911 update and re-root or 1.33.2005+3.22.26.17 and a rom
Sorry lack of links.
is it rooted?
maybe you can flash the recovery through terminal
Thanks for the replies, lots to research.
I'v tried a bunch of rooting methods.
exploid pushed from ADB said it worked (but didnt)
SuperOneClick said it worked after some rapid OFF-ON-OFF-ON debugging(but didnt install superuser even after reboot)
Universal androot forcecloses on launch
flashrec has the "download cyan...." button blocked out, tried renaming amon-ra to the recovery-backup.img and it said successful, but still is stuck at g1 screen.
I found another post with someone in the same situation at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-580669.html
They did the same thing by flashing the tmobile firmware 1.0 and we have the same numbers:

Funny thing is I was so excited when SuperOneClick said it was successful and asked if I wanted to donate that I didnt even check if I had superuser before going through paypal. I'v wasted so many hours on this dinosaur G1 but damn I want it back to CM5. Please continue with the help.

ok ummm wow you did a lot lol are you sure you did the flaskrec.apk thing right? so as of right now your phone is not rooted? and you are on 1.0? if thats the case you should get automatic updates and hopefully that could help you.. if not try downloading rom manager than flash the clockwork recovery.. personally i hate clockwork but if you can get that to work than i could help you get back to RA if you would like..
Well its a one-click solution, I must have missed the options... I installed it and ran the back up, but the "download" button was grayed out. was I supposed to do something with the entry field?
Rom Manager gives me "Application install unsuccessful" using AndExplorer and I think Clockwork gave me this problem in the first place back when I was using CM6.

I think Ezterry's post (#6) is your best option
you don't mention you have tried that
you will need to do some research into goldcards and finding the orange.nbh link
hint for the orange see threads started by ezterry (via his profile) look at the kernel for 2708 thread
Ok thanks, I'v got my gold card made but is safe to flash 1.33.200* SPL with 1.22.12.29 Radio? Isnt it a DangerSPL? Sorry if thats way off base.

for the record
1.33.2003 is compatible with 1.x and 2.x radios but will brick with 3.x
1.33.2005 is compatible with 2.x and 3.x radios but will brick with 1.x
so 1.33.200* is only compatible with 2.x
read Ezterry's 2708 post, the answers you seek are in it
sorry for delay lol but with the flashrec file wat you do is press backup than when your typing in the box you have to put exactly what your file says...
ex.. sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.0.7-cyan.img (yours could be diff but make sure you type exactly what your file says that you placed on sd card) hope it helps
You guys are awesome, thank you everyone who was interested and especially ezterry, Effdee and Idrifta for the enduring help. I'm now on CM5.0.8 2708+ and loving it.
Final issue, I'm wondering about going to EBI1 to get 3.22 radio. Is it as simple as updating hboot to 1.33.2010 then flashing 3.22? Is it worth doing?
Again, sorry if that is way off base but this is the first week my phone has been usable in months, and I won't jeopardize it again.

Why ebi1 is equivalent to the old ebi0 and you loose the extra ram.
Thus unless there is a very specific reason it's a downgrade

Best stay as is or upgrade the radio to 2.22.28.25.. As it has been distributed world wide. (Including to all locations 2.22.27.08 was previously distributed)
what did you do?
I would like to know if you solved this issue as mine is similar. I DO have root though, but i have no recov/fastboot. I am using a dev phone though.
ps, grats on getting it working

If you flashed 0.95.0000 you are no longer using a dev phone (what do you see when you boot holding camera?)
The good news is that the ADP1 used the universal CID (11111111) and is thus not restricted to a particular carriers nbh file.. so you can probably just flash the orange nbh without the goldcard [just renamed DREAIMG.nbh on the root of your SDCard], then follow the 2708+ radio instructions.. or install 1.33.2003/5 via fastboot if you need the old radio.
The reason I'm pointing to the orange nbh is it will let you bypass the whole "I bricked my phone because I insisted on flashing death SPL via recovery" since you have an engineering SPL and 2.x radio after flashing that orange NBH from the 2708+ thread.
This is what worked for me, going from:
- a non responsive recovery
- OS locked at activation, so no usb debugging
- OS refused to root
- quadicolored fastboot screen that wouldnt recognize usb
To CM5 2708+ with RA-cyan1.7.
Before this thread I had to use this to get post the verizon data plan only activation to enable usb debugging.
Made a goldcard
Put the orange nbh renamed to DREAIMG.nbh (can't remember where i got it from, just searched) on the goldcard, Booted with camera+power to get fastboot, and applied the update.
Followed ezterry's post and at step 5 flipped over to this post on CM5 2708+
Now I'm gonna update the radio using exterry's advanced zips. Thanks again everyone, another successful thread.
