Ive been searching through all the guides. I updated to cynogen's recovery and have the latest radio and spl from having jf 1.51 (US version i think its crb 43 or something sorry having a brain fart).
So basically i just need to put jachero on my card and update it as update.zip and install it?
Also i noticed in some of my reading about you should have ext2 and a linux swap. Do i need to reformat that card before sending over the update.zip or after i install the update?
thanks in advance for your help and answers and great job guys i hope to understand this better so i can help contribute soon! Thanks!

If I were you I would reformat your card before applying the udpade. And you don't have to but I would make a linux-swap partition. You should really tell the difference.
Awesome i got hero finally set up with 3 partitions. I followed this guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534714
and at the bottom of that he says to enable swap go to this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531988
Is this step still needed or do the roms actually do it automatically if you had a linux-swap partition when you installed.
If it helps i am running Jachero 2.63 i believe.
JACHero 2.63 will do it automatically.
Sweet thanks everyone for your help!
Yes I've searched.
Yes I've posted in appropriate threads.
No I haven't recieved any answers.
Yes I'm getting frustrated and decided to post the question.
With that out of the way.
This may sound like a silly question but please forgive me as I have not yet flashed the haykuro spl.
Once you've flashed the new spl, instead of flashing the update.zip of the non-Hero rom, can't you use nandroid restore to restore your previous backups instead of having to start over with an update.zip file? Or will that restore the previous spl as well (in my case HARD SPL)? Or perhaps once you've installed your non-Hero update.zip file can you use nandroid restore to go back to your exact settings while keeping the new spl?
I ask because I would like to try the spl, but I'm so comfortable with my rom and settings that I would hate to wipe just to try Hero which is still in development. Call me crazy, but I like stable and finished builds. But I am curious and with a lot of time on my hands but not so much that I'm willing to lose everything just to try something that I'm not going to keep.
I hear from so many people to flash this spl because "It's worth it" but what is so special about it unless you plan on running Hero? Is it worth the risk of bricking your phone? I've been on the fence trying to decide whether to risk it or not and I've been very curious to try Hero but not at the cost of losing everything that I currently have and possibly bricking my phone just for the sake of curiousity.
Thanks.

Nothing.
Use it if you want to run Hero rom.
If you do not want to run the hero based rom's, just stick with hardspl.

Right... but I'm curious enough to try the Hero rom's. But if they are not stable (such as lack of bluetooth etc) then I would like to restore my current backups. Would such be possible and still keep the new spl?

If you make a nandroid before flashing the new SPL then I believe you will get the Hard SPL back but the new SPL is worth it because you get more Internal Memory, I think it's like 89 MB and you get to test out any Hero ROM you want, if you do decide to flash new SPL then use the 3rd post from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517593 as a tutorial, it worked perfect for me.

If you don't like Hero after you flash new SPL and everything (by the way Bluetooth does not work in any Hero ROM yet) just use your nandroid to go back to the way you were and flash new SPL from there, you don't have to flash Hero at the same time your flashing new SPL it can be the current ROM you're on.

No, I'm not sure either.
Thats why I just said...I doubt it.
So worse case scenario, other the the possibility of bricking, is I do the backup, install the new spl, attempt to restore and if it doesn't restore the hard spl and if I do keep the haykuro spl (which provides about 10mb of extra internal storage) it might not work because of the storage difference that has been allocated for the hardspl. Theory 1.
I backup my current rom, Cyanogen 3.9. I install haykuro's spl, I install the Cyanogen 3.9 update.zip file. I nandroid restore my previous backup (pre-hero spl) and enjoy the extra memory and the possibility of experimenting a Hero rom with the new spl tonight at work. Theory 2.
Which sounds more likely?

Thank you very much.
I'll probably give it a try later tonight.
With the recovery 1.4 out I won't need another sdcard and won't even need to rename the zip files. Makes it easier.

I flashed the new spl and I'm re-installing CM 3.9 now. I'll edit with updates.
Edit 1
First instead of installing the update.zip I decided to just try a restore from recovery. It wouldn't let me. I'll try to do a restore after the rom is flashed.
Edit 2
Installed CM 3.9 update (did NOT wipe) and it installed fine.
I have 68 MB of available space in phone storage.

Edit 3
I just noticed that I did have 2 splash screens (not the animated ANDROID). After installing the new spl I now only have the first one. Doesn't matter that much. Just worth mentioning. Edit 3b tried to add the second boot screen by "fastboot flash splash2 mysplash.rgb565" and got "writing 'splash2'... FAILED (remote: partition does not exist!) I perfered the splash2 boot screen so I just replaced splash1 with splash2. No big. I'll be trying Hero later! For now... gotta finish getting ready for work. Thanks!
I have a question about installing this new spl. I'm currently running Cyan 3.6.8.1 and I want to try out a Hero ROM. I'm going to completely nuke my phone by repartitioning my card and flashing back to RC29. My question is while in RC29 after I do the telnet commands and update my recovery can I update my radio, Haykuro's SPL, and start up back to RC29 so I can drag n drop the rom file onto my sd or will I need to keep the ROM file I want in my sd card to install through recovery?
Also to make sure I don't brick my phone (yes I have a PVT board) I'm going to list the steps I'm going to take
-While still using Cyan 3.6.8.1 boot into recovery, wipe, and repartition my SD card
-Place RC29 and original SPL onto SD card at startup then reboot into recovery, wipe, load original SPL, reboot, and install RC29
-Follow telnet commands using this guide off this forum then place new radio, haykuro's spl, and cyan's 1.4 recovery on SD card
-After updating recovery update radio then SPL
-Wait for startup (if I didn't brick my phone) to place new rom file onto sd card then reboot in recovery to install new rom

How much free memory did you have prior to flashing the new spl?
Anyone wanna help the noob?
my phone is stuck in a reload state i put jac xreroskiv rom or what ever its called and its stuck it starts up but keep saying hero over and over any ideas. help please thanks in advance i had already installed hero and such was just trying this new rom. i tried other roms too but no dice. even the original hero rom i originally put on here.
You should probably make a post for help in the rom's forum that you're having problems with.
Also, it would help if you told them which G1 device you had, what radio/spl and stuff like that.
But with really no info from your post the only things I can think of is that you need to do wipe or reformat your sd card.
Most likely you just have to repart your ext partition. But more info would help.
i have radio-2.22.19.261 hboot-1.33.2005 dream32b i was able to restore it but now i cant install the rom . i tried again and got the same problem so i probably got the wrong radio for the rom i want which is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534479\
You have the right radio. Really there is only one radio. There's the 26I that we use and the old radio that is not used anymore. Do not flash the hero radio or you will brick your phone. Did you repartion your sd card so it's fresh?
yeah i used the home and end button and did the partition using the boot loader thingy. i ended the loop but now its like i bough the phone new with root make sense?

Not the least amount of sense to me, but if your phone is working ,then good. You had a bootloop which is usually solved by wiping your ext3 and phone.
maybe i have the wrong build? i had some ra build cant remember what it was called i reflashed to cyanogen 1.4 gonna try it when i get home

all you had to do was wipe ext3, you should do this when changing any hero build unless otherwise noted. be sure you are wiping the intern. memory as well ALT+W in ReCon. also, repair ext filesystems and flash again, hero roms take a while to boot so make sure you are patient.
okay ill try when i get off work. i have 1.33.2005
2.22.19.26I my build is cyanogen + jf 1.4 can i install the rom i discussed earlier using the method u talked about? it was slow when i installed it earlier anyway of making it faster kept loading.
i fixed it dont know how lol but i did. i think i just had the wrong build. close thread plz. thanks for all the help people.

I kept seeing you say you were trying to flash the cyanogen build 1.4. That is not a rom but the recovery. But glad its working now. Put [SOLVED] on your thread title.
Ok so lets start out by saying i know i am not bricked because i am able to get into fastboot as well as recovery. So this all started when i tried to move to CyanogenMod v4.2.13 . At 1st i was on Cyanongen 4.2.10 which i was having some problems on so i wanted to move to a new rom. I then went to flash xROM Eclair-v1.0 which went ok but then i started to get FCs and wanted to go back to Cyanogen roms. I then flashed the 4.2.13 rom and i am where i am not. Every time i have tried to re flash the the rom i have done a full wipe of both the phone and the EXT, but i get stuck on the G1 screen every time no matter what. I have let it seat there for 30 mins with no luck at all. Not sure what to try now. Any ideas would be great.
Here is what i am running right now.
Fastboot reads
Dream PVT 32B ENG S-Off
Hboot-1.33.2005
Radio-2.22.19.26I
I am running the RA recovery RA-Dream-v1.5.1
Any help would be great thanks.
Have you tried to downgrade with dream.nhg and reroot ? I'm sure therebis better method then this too I'm jus throwing idea out there would wait for this and some one with more experince to help out.
Also did you flash the 1.6 ota before cyan rom, just trying make it clear for future questions.. Also try a different rom suggest trying superd 1.2 it's super fast and very stable
No don't downgrade using dream.nbh it will downgrade the radio and kill your phone!
You already have the DangerSPL installed, so you can't downgrade the radio anymore.
Just try to flash a ROM which was made for the DangerSPL (also called DeathSPL, HaykuroSPL etc.)
Same problem-FREAKING OUT
Hi,
I think I have the same problem and I think my phone is bricked. A long time ago I changed the two splash screen pictures and not I can't event get past the first 1. I'm stuck at the first splash screen.
I just learned that everytime you want to flash cyan, you have to flash the radio 1.6, wipe then falsh the cyan rom. I think I did some mis steps and effed it up. PLEASE HELP.
I think I have the Danger SPL that sats Dream PVT 32B ENG S-Off, HBOOT 1.33.2005 (DREA10000), CPLD_4, Radio 2.22.19.26I, Apr 20 2009,15:30:43. I have JF 1.42 recovery and been trying to update to Cm recovery1.4 but have had no luck because of these problems.
How do you flash a rom from the SPL screen with the three android on skateboards. I just need to figure this out please.

And no - your phone is most likely not "dead."
oh phew! what should I do now tho? I just hit camera and power and then hit back and reset the device by pushing send and that worked but now it won't start again.
Should I wipe and try the same spl thing again?

Wow thanks for saying thatt I did not see that danger spl was flashed! Good catch! So yes don't downgrade! I'm sure you can flash orinial spl again too..
What you can try is super d 1.6 that requires "danger spl"
how do we go about getting a super d 1.6? what is that?

To access recovery, hold Home + Power.
If you have a ROM on your SD card (the root), flash it (ALT + S i think it is.) If your ROM requires a wipe, ALT + W wipes.
Make sure you have the right Radio + SPL for whatever ROM you run.
JGo to the develop forums and look for super d 1.6 rom.. and flash it like any other rom.. wipe factory reset then flash any zip it requires danger spl so should for those that have it.. like said its really good and pretty well stable and blazing fast

Oh i had a question,
when i take my sd card out and then go to the spl and reset the device, it worked. does that mean that there is something wrong with my sd card? If so do you know where there are instructions to reformat it?

So you get passed the G1 screen? If you have a extra sd card that's not partation use that to flash your rom(make sure it'd formated to fat32) then when you get into a rom put your partation sd back in then go to settings and format sd card there then go into recovery Amon ra and repartation sd.. Jus a suggestion too you can reformat within recovery too I jus don't kno the commands
Well what i have been trying is to get 4.2.8 back since that has been the best rom i think Cyanogen has had out, but that doesn't even work when it has always been my backup rom. Well I am about to try Super D 1.6 will report back after it.
Edit: Well SuperD 1.6 flashed good and is running but why is it that no mater how many times i try i can't get CyanogenMod to flash ok when i was able to do it before.
Ooo I liked cyan roms but notice some lags after awhile use superd is great and well worth trying it
I figured it OUT! I think my sd card was courrupted or something because it wouldn't boot with the card in but when I took it out and booted using the Danger SPL like I described a few posts back, it worked and got past the first boot screen.
Then I flash cm_recovery_1.4.img but leaving it on the sd and reinserting the sd card when the phone booted. (Oh and I flashed cm 4.2.9.1 because I heard its the most stable)
Next I reformated my sdcard and then partitioned it using the following instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534714&highlight=partition+sd
Hope this helps anyone who has same problem. THANK YOU ILOST! Is yours working now too?
Forget the thread all is well again with Cyanogen Roms working. Turns out my SD card needed to be repartitioned but since i was at school all day. I wasn't able to get on a PC and download the ROM. Wonder why the card needed to be repartitioned, but whatever it works now thanks for taking the time to read the thread.
just flash the base rom then flash cyanogen!!!! or flash dwang!!!!!
Nice to hear PROD, I think you had the same problem that I had.
OKAY, now since I've been reflashing like crazy and lost ALL my old apps and imformation since I was using JF 1.5 before.
However, I backed up on nandroid before all this craze, does anyone know how to replace certain files like password safe or shipping list apps and daat on a new nandroid backup so then essentially all my old information can be on this new platform???
Well glad to see both you got working again! Congrats! Hope all will stat well I had this same problem continously. And I believe it's due to cheap / low class sdcards.. Usually when I flash from a different rom and I need to wipe, usually backup what's on sd and apps using titanium backup then format sdcard within phone the flash new rom after I repart it
Congrats to you ilost, you got this thread going well.
I used my backup but when I use that or nandroid then it replaces my recovery back to the old JF recovery and then I'm back at square one so I'm looking for a way to replace or insert certain old nandroid files into a new nandroid file.

CM5.0.7-DS
read the instructions
download the files
read the instructions AGAIN
then flash
i made a mistake the 1st time i flashed it because i did not reboot after the SPL update...... phone just sat there at the G1 screen for 20 minutes before i rebooted it.... sometimes they take a while to boot the 1st time after flashing but not 20 min
went form CM4.2 to CM5.0.7-DS...... Love it

Hi, my G1 is currently running MLIGN Hero 3.0, I believe I have DangerSPL installed, not sure about the radio (Does it matter what Radio I have for that ROM?)
Im not sure if my SD is partitioned though??
Please could you give me a bit of a guide here , its been along time since I flashed my G1,
I think the process is, Wipe Data, Dalvik cache, wipe ext partition, then format SD, then Partition SD? Then toggle USB and place 1.5.1 Superbad onto the SD, then flash it and hope all goes well??
Thanks!! I appreciate it!! (Sorry to hijack your thread OP)
Super E, absolutely
