when you go into fastboot, camera+power, the second line says hboot1.33.2005?
I got this error, i thought i was on the newest SPL as well, but i was wrong. just double checking.

Very welcome. glad i can help

JF 1.43 Recovery + Newest SPL will do the trick
Been getting the same error every time I tried to install Hero ROM. Then, I spent a couple of hours researching on this forum and the steps below are the result of my search. Hope this can save some migraine to some of you.
1. Get the JF 1.43 recovery image from JF Andblog|rename to update.zip|Alt+S to install
2. Verify you have the latest SPL 1.33.2005 by holding camera button on R side of G1 while pressing Power button, if HBoot does not read 1.33.2005; then you need to get latest SPL
3. Obtain your favourite HERO Rom, and flash away.

I have a hero rom now and its working great

I can't seem to get the SPL to update properly.
When my phone (UK G1) boots it says:
Code:
Android system recovery utility
Build: JFv1.43
A fastboot shows the following:
Code:
DREA110 PVT 32B
HSPL10.95.3000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
So I've got the latest radio update.
I've downloaded the HardSPL file and gone through the installation of it several times. The HSPL line never changes to anything else.
I've downloaded the SuperHero v1 Beta2, but every single time I try to install it I get the same error as the thread starter: can't chown/mod /system/xbin etc. etc.
What on Earth am I doing wrong? What have I done to mess this up in the first place?
Can someone please help?

Sorry for the souble-post, but I downloaded the spl-signed file instead this time and now I have the different SPL line in fastboot.
I don't know how that never happened in the past, but I guess I must have missed that.

So, you were able to flash Superhero?

same error as OP, but on different line - line 41
Radio and SPL double checked with fastboot, they are fine (see my sig), recovery is the 1.4 CM + JF.
Can't flash many roms here around....... especially hero build......

you need Haykuro's "Danger" SPL in order to load Hero on the G1 because of the bigger partition sizes.

I have the same issue too, and I adb shell into the G1 device, and see the /system is full. I also create 2 partitions in my SDCARD (one fat32/one ext2), but that doesn't solve the issue. here is my partition status:
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 47.8M 0 47.8M 0% /dev
/dev/block/mtdblock4 67.5M 1.2M 66.3M 2% /cache
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 762.3M 92.9M 669.4M 12% /sdcard
/dev/block/mtdblock3 67.5M 67.5M 0 100% /system

and the recovery console shows like this during apply update.zip :

SPL I used:

BTW, why Danger SPL can fix this issue? Does it adjust the partition size to fix the issue?
I have not yet tried it before I understand how this works.
Thanks

I had the same error on line 80 - i reformatted my sdcard so had 3 partitions - and still the same - I then found out I was on the wrong SPL not the one that displays hboot - flashed with the hboot spl and it installed the hero rom - rebooted and got the first boot screen then blank screen for about 5 mins then the word htc then about 30 seconds later a screen asking for country then asking to type in 'simple' then got the hero screen.
so fix your spl, ensure your memory card correct and you should be ok

i dont have a Backup
should i install HardSPL?... (HSPL10.95.3000) ?
what is solution?
is this phone rooted? how can i understand it?
thanks
did you even read the OP to almost every single hero rom? you have to have the 1.33.2005 spl to flash most any hero rom, there is one (could be more, haven't checked though) that will fit on the hard spl.
to get a rom back on your phone and the phone to a working state go into the recovery console from the recovery screen and type
Code:
ums_enable
to mount your sdcard to your computer and type
Code:
ums_disable
to unmount it after you put a rom on there that does not require the 1.33.2005 spl. such as cyanogen's or enomther's roms.
thanks a lot, it was not written at Fatal1ty's page, so i thought it's simple
i know tried
#ums_enable
/dev/block/mmcblk/ #
and connected to Pc, installed drivers ((http://dl.google.com/android/android_usb_windows.zip)
it still doesnt show the Mass Storage disk in My computer (windows)
there is a disk F: but when i click it it says put a disk in driver etc..
it seems i need a microsd card reader?... otherwise i dont see sdcard
ok i restarted it and now i can see as Mass Storage.. thanks
i have now HSPL10.95.3000 and RADIO-2.22.19
i think it mean i can flash any rom now
If you haven't rooted your phone, cause you said how do I know if it's rooted, you need to root it in order to flash a custom rom.

Need help loading roms!!!!

I went ahead and rooted my G1 using the flashrec.apk method through linda. When ever the rooting is complete, I go ahead and restart my device in recovery mode to flash a custom ROM, but everytime the rom is copying files, i get the following error message:
E:Cant chown/mod /system/xbin
(No such file or directory)
E:failure at line 80:
set_perm_recursive 0 2000 0755 0
6755 SYSTEM:xbin
Installation aborted.
I followed all the rooting steps precisely and it seems to root fine, but no matter what ROM i try to flash, i continue to get this error. Can somebody please help me out with this???
fyi...I have tried at least 5 different ROMS posted here on XDA and each one gives me the same error above...
Did you take out the battery and the SD card and place them back in before you loaded the rom? Take out the SD card and then take out the battery, put back in the sd then put back in the battery. WIPE EVERYTHING, and try again.
Also see if you partitioned your sd correctly.
If that doesn't work, try un-rooting then re-root your phone.
And start over.
u need to FLASH THE NEWEST RADIO.....then read up on how to flash the DEATH SPL....u didn't search because that is the most common error for people who have hard spl when the nead the 1.33.2005 spl go search
Look in Q&A and ask there, search is your friend. make sure when you find the relevant thread and ask, you tell people which recovery image , radio and all you are using as well as the Rom you're trying to flash. Sounds to me like you're trying to flash a Rom that requires the danger all and you don't have it

Moving back to standard SPL

I recently upgraded to Cyanogen, gave it a go and am trying to go back to the stock SPL and ROM. However, when trying to apply the original G1 SPL via update.zip on the SD card it complains:
E:No signature (5 files)
E:Verification fauled
Installation aborted.
any ideas?
The best way to go to stock (including radio, SPL, recovery and ROM) is to flash the appropriate DREAIMG.nbh to your device; this will replace everything at once.
There are copies of RC29 (and RC30, IIRC) for T-Mobile USA, as well as RC8 for T-Mobile UK, floating about the internet. Just place the DREAIMG.nbh on your FAT32 formatted SD card, and boot into SPL (holding down camera and power to power on), and follow the on-screen prompts. Couldn't be much easier.
(Of course, a quick search would have pulled up this existing thread: [HOW TO] UNROOT, get phone to STOCK firmware.)
I found this link for the RC29 DREAIMG.nbh. Maybe it's the right one. I have the original one but I'm at work right now so I have no access to it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3108766
DREAIMG.nbh does not include the SPL...
the SPL is in the form of an update.zip
the instructions you linked explain this.
I would say try downloading the update.zip SPL again
Oh...I just saw rpcameron mentioned the DREAIMG.nbh. The "Informative Links" thread has the SPL link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455860

the DREAIMG.nbh does include the spl........
if you want to get to stock...you flash the .nbh file. it sets EVERYTHING to stock and its what HTC uses in their service center. the only thing that it doesnt replace is splash2.img, which if you have the .2005 spl, is not there

Now i could be wrong but...
I thought the SPL managed the way the ROM is partitioned. So people with the "danger" SPL have more room to install apps or larger rom's (all hero roms).
I think it does this by borrowing space from the partition that is normally used to download OTA updates.
So is someone had the "danger" SPL installed, then apply DREAIMG.nbh everything would look normal to the user, but the partition normally used to DL OTA updates may be too small for future OTA updates.
correct me if i am wrong
Edit: no need to correct me, i may be a little off about the partitioning, but SPL and DREAIMG.nbh are 2 very separate things read thread below

Part 1) Haykuro's SPL(Danger) uses the space from the OTA partition which is correct.
Part 2) The Drea makes your radio and SPL stock so you lose out on root.Root users dont need to worry about not enough space and 2.0 has been announced its no secret.

i can vouch for this as i reflashed the nbh recently and it downgraded my spl to 0.95.0000

haha your exactly right about the dangerSPL but when you flash the DREAIMG.nbh, it replaces everything to stock, including the stock spl. the stock SPL readdresses the space so the ota partition is back to normal.
the DREAIMG.nbh is an image of the flash memory of the stock Dream when it has a certain os installed on it. the one we use is RC29's DREAIMG.nbh

so is it right, when i flash the DREAIMG.nbh form a GoldCard it will flash RADIO/SPL/ROM/RECOVERY (and also the custom first bootscreen) to full stock.
and than i only have to apply this:
Rooting RC29 or Lower Phone
1. Download Cyanogen's Recovery and copy it to your SD card (see the previous instructions on how to copy from your computer to your Phone's SD card).
2. Download the latest Radio and copy the zip file to the SD card.
(3. Download the Hard SPL and copy the zip file to the SD card.) MUSTHAVE???????
4. All files must be on the root of your SD card.
5. Restart your phone. Wait for your phone to start up fully and show the home screen.
6. After your phone starts up, hit the enter key twice, type "telnetd" and press enter. (Yes, it will start up a contact search, don't worry. Just type it.)
7. Download an Android "Telnet" application from the Market and connect to localhost.
8. If you connect successfully, you will have a root prompt "#".
9. Type the following into Telnet (these commands will give you root access easier in the future):
Code:
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cd sdcard
# flash_image recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img
# cat cm-recovery-1.4.img > /system/recovery.img
Now you have root!!
# Power off your phone.
# Start up in recovery mode by holding home and pressing power.
# You will now enter recovery mode.
# Press Alt+A to see the .zip files
# Select the Radio file.
# After the update is complete, hold Home and press Back to restart.
Than flash CyanogenMod 4.1.999 or The Official Donut Build Rooted like this:
1. Download the image
2. Copy it to your phone's SD card.
3. Turn your phone off
4. Start up in recovery mode by holding Home and pressing Power.
5. Press Alt+W to wipe your device. (You need to do this, or the device may hang at the flashing Android screen)
6. Press Alt+A and select your ROM file to apply the update.
is that all right? please correct me if there is something wrong.

First ever attempt at rooting...problem..!

So I followed a guide on youtube for rooting the g1 (should have followed ones on these forums ).
1. I am from the UK so downgraded to the DREAMIMG-RC7.zip first.
2. Then I installed the hardspl (update) and recovery.img.
3. Then did the telnet commands
4. Then downloaded command emulator and entered the commands
5. Finally I updated with the update.zip.
this is where it went wrong
6. I then tried to install open eclare but got this error :
E:Can't chown/mod /sytem/xbin/su
(no such file or directory) E:Failure at line 240: set_perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM:xbin/su
Installation aborted
7. I rebooted it by back and home but it now gets stuck at the tombile g1 logo part.
I can press home and power to get to the screen, and camera and power does work.
Question...can I just start again by connecting the sd card to my computer card reader and then putting back the DREAMIMG-RC7 and starting again?
Which recovery image are you using?
You might want to try a different rom before openeclair, it needs the death spl, which you don't want to touch just yet. I recommend superD or htcclay fasttest.
Upgrade your radio as well if you haven't already. If you go near the deathspl with the original radio, you'll find out why it's called death.
You got the error because that rom requires the 1.33.2005 spl. Link for radio and SPL are in my sig.

DREAIMG.nbh not allow

Hello,
I've got a BIG problem...
I was unable to flash anything anymore, it aborted every installation of update.zip, so I decided to start from scratch.
Downloaded DREAIMG.nbh(RC7, I've got a dutch phone...) formated my sdcard, fdisk type b and mkdosfs -F 32, then copied DREAIMG.nbh to the sdcard but then I get Loading..., Checking..., not allow
I tried all capitals, because it says so on different forums so I tried all combinations of capitals and small letters, tried different DREAIMG.nbh files, from different sites. I've formated the disk after every attempt and checked the files using md5sum. Than also DREADIAG.NBH, which results in not allow just the same...
It says in the bootloader screen:
DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CLPD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
Sep 2 2008
I don know if it matters but...
The system partition is completely broken..
It doesn't boot and adb shell complains about the absence of /system/bin/sh
I hope somebody has a suggestion for what to try...
Thanks!
Greetings,
Geert
Hey read up on spl's here and read the difference sbaout them this will tell you your problme http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/SPL
XD I may be completely of track but I believe it is that - if I am off track sry and I answered you on the development section as well XD
HardSPL also allows NBH files to be used without matching the CID (carrier ID) check
Thanks for replying!
But I don't want to install a american nbh on a european phone...
Or do you expect for the SPL to be broken?
Then there is a other problem... I don have a modified recovery image... So how am I going to install JesusFreak recovery?
Thanks!
Greetings,
geert
