Danger SPL

i would like to install the Danger SPL i just have a few questions before i attempt this. I would like to avoid bricking my phone if possible.
I have already looked at this and see how to install it. I was just wondering how i would install it seeing as i already have my mod and have the newest Radio. I am currently running CyanMOD 4.0.4 with the Hard SPL. Would i just simply put the Danger SPL's zip. on my root SD and recovery boot and run the zip?
I have checked and I do have the PVT that is mentioned in the thread listed above.
I want to make sure I have everything clear 100% before i attempt this. I guess it is called Danger SPL for a reason.

Looks like your setup for the installation of it. Just place the SPL Update.zip onto the root of the sd card and install like you would a rom. But there is a catch. After the installing is complete, YOU HAVE TO manually reboot it by pressing Home+Power or whichever one reboots it, you can't use the trackball to select reboot. Once you do that it should go about its way on installing it.

Yes you are right. Just might want to put another rom you want on your sd card to to flash right away after flashing the spl because when you flash the new spl it will overwrite your existing rom causing you to be stuck at the g1 screen. Thats when you here all the idiots say I bricked my phone but fixed it.

Also, be careful to be sure that your /sdcard is mounted when you go to do that update. Sometimes when you flash Haykuro's SPL, it won't mount the sdcard properly, without being instructed to do so. ("mount /sdcard" when you drop into the terminal is all it takes). Dunno what caused that... but because of it, it wasn't reading the update.zip file I had.

Since you are using cm recovery 1.4, you can not use apply any zip for the spl, you must name it update.zip and than apply it that way with the option for update.zip, odd yes, but true, I suggest putting back on a rom that you already have that works for you, boot it up and than do a nandroid backup in case of future boot loops.

By terminal i take it as the "go to console" or "ALT+X" option. If so once i am in terminal how do i leave it. Every time I go to it I have to remove my battery to get back to the recovery options.

He's trying to mount /sdcard. Rebooting would undo that. If you just type recovery it will take you the recovery screen no reboot

um of course i don't try the obvious solution lol. thanks i will try to install the Danger SLP later.

should i do i a wipe before i install the danger spl?

Hey folks,
i`m glad to found that thread about dangerspl...i`m loosing to many nervs because of that...
i`ve downloaded the spl file from these forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548924), renamed it to update.zip und applyed it at cm recovery 1.4.
i have the latest Radio, i`ve checked this a 1000 times...
everytime i want to install that dspl it`s extracting and installing very very fast (2-3sek), than reboot, it reboots in recovery...then i reboot the system, erverything is normal...the rom is starting...no stuck @ g1 logo...
the only effect is the missing of some internal memory mb`s...
so, what to do `??? was this file i`ve downloaded the correct DSPL??
Recovery shows "installing hboot"?!
i hope someone can understand my bad english...

forget about it !!!!
only my dumb fault.....

Totally incorrect. I've flashed this SPL several times, and using Cyan's recovery you don't have to rename it.

Try using three finger mary (talk+menu+power) to reboot and hold home to get into recovery. Flash the ROM you should have already put on your sd card beforehand since as Supreme already said, the SPL will overwrite the existing ROM...

Need help with flashing the G1 !!!!!

i rooted my G1 last night (i think i suceffuly rooted it)
and i was trying to flash the JACHEROSki-v2.1 ROM to my G1, i used the old method put the recovery.img and the JACHEROSki-v2.1 (changed to "update"),then turn off phone, turn it back on with home+power, alt+s flashing in progress, here are the messages i got when installing the rom:
Installing from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
installing update...
Deleting files...
Deleting files...
Formatting System:...
Copying files...
Then the progress bar stay still not moving forward....and after a while it goes...
E:Can't chown/mod /system/xbin
(No such file or directory)
E:failure at line 80:
set_perm_recursive 0 2000 0755 0 6755 SYSTEM:xbin
Intallation aborted.
Press Home+back ro reboot
then after i reboot, the G1 logo stays on forever, i tried to reboot, and tried to flash again (at least 4 times), but same results. how can i fix this ? did i delete my own rom while flashing the new rom ? thats why i have no roms in my phone, so it wont load up? what can i do now ? i mean, i cant do anything without turning on the phone

Hero roms require the DangerSPL noted in the first post of the rom you are trying to install. I don't recommend flashing a hero rom right after rooting your phone. Considering you still need to learn about apps2sd and most important swap partitions. Download cyan 4.0.4 and start with that before you try a hero rom.
Hold home+pwr to boot into recovery to flash roms.

Also you don't need to put the recovery.img on your sd anymore, once you have flashed recovery you dont need to do it again cuz it stays on your phones internal memory. When flashing any rom you just put the .zip on your sd and rename it to update, thats it.

so you mean cyan rom is best for me right ? and how am i gonna do that when i cant boot my phone ? i dont have a card reader here so a little frustrating tho

and can you give me a link for that rom ? too many roms out there dont know which one is best for my G1, i have a 1G memory card only btw

before we go any further. Did you install cyan's recovery 1.4?
also turn the phone off, hold the camera button and power button. Give us the info shown on the screen.

i dont have cyan revovery 1.4 i only have the recovery.img

and what does it say when you hold camera and power to turn the phone on?

my friend just brought me his card reader and i put the JFv1.51_CRB43-ADP update to the sd, and flash it, now my phone works, with 1.5 firmware....
a question...if i want to install the cyan rom, i just do the same with the updates right ? put it in sd, rename to update, turn off phone, home+power, then install right ?

Seems like you got this one fingerlickin. See we can be helpful.

Correct, but if you install the new recovery you can flash any .zip without renaming. Also if you get stuck in the future and don't access to a card reader you can mount your card in adb and do everything that way.
sorry fingerlickin had to jump in.

now im getting confused...what is adb ?
and after i get this update, my internal memory is 47mb....whats alot less than what i got before...is this normal ?

adb will get your ass out of trouble when your phone acts up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519523
There are some good guides to use adb in there. But I ain't tryna get you confused so early, maybe that should be one of the next things you should learn. I'll stop there so you don't get confused yet, just something to learn for the future.

And did you have your card partitioned before flashing the rom? I'm being lazy and not looking at your past posts right now.

i havent yet partitioned my sdcard...i came to this forum last night, spent hours to read and learn about rooting, updating, and maybe partition....
so you think my jf update can get the app install to sdcard ? or do i have to use other roms ?

If I were you I would honestly switch from jf to a different rom. JF is to boring and outdated, plus he ain't working on roms no more so you won't have any support. I would go to one of cyanogens roms. Just partition your sd card then flash a new rom. There are multiple ways to partition your card, I use ubuntu (tut in sig) but there are other ways to do it thru the phone.

ok....i will try to find a good rom for my phone...thanks for the help there...really appreciate it

NP supreme, I had to step away from my desk for a bit but I'm back now.
cyan's recovery 1.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3915123
cyan's stable ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537204
Do the recovery first. when you get this recovery installed you don't have to rename zip files to update.zip anymore. Then flash the ROM, you will not regret using cyan's ROMs.
After this is done and everything is running normal you can do some research on partitioning the sdcard. This isn't required so don't do this until everything else is normal.

which one is better ? staple rom or 1.4 ?

1.4 is the recovery
stable rom is the actuall rom
So do both. Just do recovery first. It's not necessary to do it first but ehh

WTF think I bricked it!!!!

well i tried to install the hero 2.1 rom and i have the android system recovery utility build: JKv1.41 and it doesnt apply the update right nor does it wipe and factory update i just reboot and it shows the g1 sign goes off and starts recovery again can someone please help!!!!!!!

You are not bricked
If you can get to the recovery image, then you are not bricked. You can flash a different rom to get your phone back to where you want it to be. Or you can restore your nandroid backup (if you made one) from the recovery.
Which recovery image are you using? What ROM are you flashing from?
Do you already have the Danger SPL and new radio needed for a Hero ROM?

go to recovery, go to console, type in ums_enable, put a different rom onto your sd card, wipe your phone, and flash the rom.

hopefully you got your phone back to working order.
Are you trying to flash hero without the Danger SPL? Only reason i can think of why it wouldn't flash.

WOW you cant brick a phone from roms!
Hasnt that been said many times?
You dont know that brick is, when you really have you will know
Its one of those instincts that you get
Downgrade your radio and you will know what a true Paper weight is.

Hey guys let me start off with I love the forum have been using it for years served me lovely when I had my htc tilt and it has served me wonderfully with my G1 was up and rooted within an hour after getting the G1
Anyways here is my problem I have been reading around but it seems that every time someone states they have a brick and its really a soft brick i.e. stuck at g1 logo they get flamed and no valuable info is put out lol
I tried searching a few keywords but can't find anything helpful
I was running the latest CyangenMod and wanted to update the SPL and Radio so I may have access to fastboot and be able to use the hack for ram and to use BFS instead of CFS. Everything went great flashed radio no prob and flash hard SPL no prob. I forgot to include a rom on my sd card per instructions so after my spl update reboot it would stay stuck at g1 just like instructions said. I finally got access to cmod recovery 1.4 and was able to get usb access to my sdcard from there yay console.
I even got into fastboot and updated to RA's recovery image. I did a wipe nothing I do works I stay stuck at G1 screen. I can use ADB I can use FastBoot I can use console I can use recovery I just can't get into bloody OS!
Should I try downgrading? or how about using an old nandroid backup I have before I flashed to latest cyangenmod? Thanks guys damn I usually don't like to ask questions like these I know buried somewhere some one ran into a similar problem. Even if you guys could point me to said thread I'd be grateful
also I do have a 8gb class 6 microsd with a crapload of apps Ive tried switching sd cards and removing it as I read this may cause issues

Don't use nand after changing SPL... can't see anything good coming out of that.
Test#1: Can you boot into recovery? if yes then:
1. Wipe
2. Drop into console and type
mount system/sd
rm -r system/sd/dalvik-cache
mkdir system/sd/dalvik-cache
reboot recovery
3. Flash base defanged DRC83 from Cyan's page
4. Flash latest Cyan's rom.
Reboot.
If that doesn't work - most likely you need to use DREAIMG.nbh to start over.
Good luck.

thank you so much! That worked perfectly I couldn't get it to mount with mount system/sd but using mount /sdcard works great
Im now running the bfs patch with the latest cmod and I got everything working thanks to this ordeal woot thanks

Need help, might have a possible paper weight : /

Hey guys
I have a t mobile G1 rooted with Danger SPL and (Just Recently Flashed) Amon Ra 1.7.0 Recovery image.
All my troubles started after I saw that Super Froyo had a new bulid of 4.4, so I wiped my system, cache, sd-card, data (But not my boot) with my old Clockwork Mod 2.5.2. Everything went fine and dandy and the new bulid ran nicely, but as I reread over the directions for Super Froyo 4.4 i found that partitioning your SD card would increase speeds on this particular build. So I flashed Amon-Ra's recovery and then I partitioned my SD card to 512MB EXT3 / LinuxSWAP 64MB... After this I encountered alot of FC's.... So i flashed back over to CM6 Stable after partitioning again and now... Im stuck in countless bootloops.
Ive only had a somewhat-firm grasp on rom's so far, but i think my G1 is not technically bricked if i can access the recovery image full menu.
I need help ASAP.
Thanks.

Do you have adb and fastboot working? You probably need to wipe a little extra. If you have fastboot working-
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
Then in AmonRA wipe everything and reinstall your rom of choice. I would recomend flashing Chromersmiths 4.5. It is complete with gapps so it is harder to screw up.

Actually... I feel kind of stupid right now, im a total noob when it comes to adb/flashbooting... if i have amon's recovery screen fully working, isnt there a way to restore it?
Basically i need an explanation of what ADB/Flashbooting is... Im sorry!!
Also a walk through would be helpful.
If you did one... you would be my hero

Quick Update: I just went on ahead and Flashed CM6 Stable and Gapps
It seems that im stuck in the 2nd boot animation, It just keeps repeating...
If we get past it then I have a working G1.

The adb fastboot instructions at the top of the QA page are really good. It still refers to 1.5.3 but the link to the SDK is still good and the instructions are thorough. It is not a quick process but not hard and you will use adb and fastboot for the rest of your time with android. You will learn lots. I really can't make it any better than that post does it. If you spend an hour and get all that working, you'll be good to go.
Have fun.

Guess What!
I just wiped data using the Amon Ra
Flashed CM6
Gapps.
I have a working G1
Thanks For Your Help Anyway, I would rep you if I could!!!
