Ok, need a little help guys. I've attempted to flash my spl after noticing I still had the original 0.35.0000 and have had no luck. I renamed the new spl "update.zip on one microsd and put cyanogen's rom on a second microsd. Booted into recovery with the card with the new spl in, updated, everything said installed as advertised. I swapped out cards (put the card with cyanogen rom on it), pushed control+x typed "reboot recovery", phone rebooted in recovery, I reflashed cyanogen rom rebooted and I'm still showing original spl. Any suggestions?
Sorry mods you can lock this.....problem solved. Anyone that might have the same problem: the issue with not being able to flash spl was the cyanogen recovery. I switched to jf recovery, followed same steps and it flashed like a champ.

hello, I made the following steps: (I try to flash Jachero 2.3.5)
1) Install RC29
2) Install recovery image 1.3.1
3) Flash latest radio: ota-radio 2.22.19.2.6I
4) Flash latest spl: 1.33.2005
... and when I try to reboot, the phone stay stuck in the G1 screen.
What I'm doing wrong ?
Do you have root? If you do which im hoping is true try reformating your sd card cuz sometimes whenyou flash different roms some of the old stuff stays even after reflashing
hope that helps
you might have a brick, after flashing the SPL you are supposed to have another sd card with another ROM(or the same ROM) on it to reflash, if not you can get a brick
Sounds like you just need to reload your rom on. Once you flash the spl you need to reflash your rom otherwise you will be stuck at the g1 screen due to the fact you don't have a rom loaded on your phone because the spl update overwrites your rom.
It's Normal, i went through the same thing. After installing the SPL you have to re flash your ROM. im no expert but what i did was:
Note: i added the cyanogen recovery image 1.3.1 and also i have ROOT,
I had Cyanogen 3.6 rom so i flashed the radio then spl. and got the g1 screen.
then i flashed 3.6 rom on again. (turn on phone with power+home, alt+w to wipe, alt+s to install)
After it loaded the cyanogen 3.6 so i checked the settings to make sure i had the right spl and radio. and then i just flashed the JACHero rom. just like i did with the Cyanogen rom.
Probably dont have to reflash the cyanogen rom i was just being careful.
Just mount your sdcard in recovery. Boot into recovery and press alt+x. Now type:
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
Remove the update.zip,and place your ROM of choice on the sdcard. Rename it to update.zip. In recovery console type "reboot recovery". Now wipe and flash away =]
I was running cy's 4.2.4, but I was having an issue with rotate.
I realized that the base Rom i was using was a sapphire rom (or at least that is what i was led to believe) I decided to go to cy's wiki and download the correct base image... signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip
I flashed this image and then when I tried to go back to recovery *poof* no recovery. (I was using the RA recovery) I downloaded telnet and tried it, no telnet.
I was going to reflash the RC29, but I was running the "Danger" SPL.
sooooooooo. Will I brick if I go back and install RC29?
Well. for anyone in the future, I can tell you that reflashing back to RC29 will NOT brick you when coming from Danger SPL.
If you have Danger SPL you could just flash back AMON Recovery from Fastboot, no need to root again.
the recovery gets replaced on reboot due the HTC image. You have to edit some scripts which a lot of people find harder than rerooting
Was running lastest Cm Rom & RA recovery 1.5.2.
Loaded into bootloader to check what Radio & SPL i was running.
Then phone started to update.
Now i'm back to stock G1 running firmware 1.0.
Do i need to go though the whole thing again like the first time i flash the rom??
please help.
Looks like you had DREAIMG.nbh at the root of your sd card and then hit the button to update it. Yeah, you are now at RC29 and must re-root and re-install cm.
Could be worse though.
Went to root with his one-click method instead of the usual way and i'm running into a problem.
I first had to downgrade to rc29, then update to cupcake. No problems. Then I had to put his flashrec.apk and Amon on my phone. Did that no problems. I used flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2.apk from his link and also Amon 1.5.2. It seemed like all that went fine. I checked my radio and it was 2.22.19.26I so that's fine. But I wanted to upgrade to dangerspl.
I got dangerspl, put it on my card, renamed to update and booted up into recovery. Did a wipe, and applied update, did a reboot and it's getting stuck at the g1 splash screen. I pulled the battery and can boot back up into recovery or fastboot.
I also tried to do a nanbackup and it's giving me the error "error: Run nandroid-mobile.sh via console"
My options are a little different in recovery than his as well. I only have USB-MS toggle, backup/restore, flash zip from sdcard, wipe, partition sdcard, other Not sure where I went wrong, any ideas?
Sounds like you are all good, just don't have a rom flashed. The SPL probably wiped what you had. Download a rom and flash it like you have the other parts. Some roms take some extra effort. Cyanogen is a complicated mess so maybe you should try Super D or WG first. You will have to rename it to update.zip if you don't have the "flash any zip" option in recovery.
Yeah Danger SPL formats the NAND, so you everything is wiped including the ROM...
ah ...ok that explains it.
So basically, i'll take my card out, put it in the comp and i'll put super D 1.8 on it that way, rename to update and boot into recovery then flash it?
Should I partition for a2sd before or after I flash the rom?
If you have the latest Amon Ra Recovery then you dont have to rename it to update.zip but yeah thats basically it.
Dont know bout the A2sd though.
Thanks, i'm up and running. I partitioned before I flashed super D.
Last night I was freaking out, I thought I bricked my phone again Thanks for the help
lol thats happened to me so many times I almost had a heart attack haha.
So I was running OpenEclair v1.1.1, and since putting eclair on it, I've been unable to flash to any other rom. It goes through the wipe/install process, but when the device reboots I just get the rogers screen forever. I can then go back into recovery and re-flash OpenEclair to get it working again. I just got through all that hassle with rogers and made it out with my data and my root, so I was now attempting to fix this issue, and figured it couldn't hurt to upgrade my radio and try out amon ra's 1.5.2R image.
Unfortunately, I downgraded the SPL to 1.33.0009 right after trying to flash another ROM which didn't work, and performed the downgrade before I put a working ROM back on it (to use flashrec to get to amenra's), so at present I can only get into the SPL. My cyanogen1.4 recovery seems to be gone as I just get the original triangle ! logo (no menu or anything) when trying to start up in recovery mode.
Now what did I do, and how far back do I need to dig through tutorials to get back to a working rooted ROM? I'm not really sure what point I'm actually at, whether I still have root or not, or where to start.

Have you got a fastboot mode you can boot into? At least then you could fastboot boot a (non-peristent) recovery image to let you then restore from a nandroid backup...assuming you have some good backups either on the phone or on a PC that can be copied to the phone.
I should note you haven't said what kind of phone you have (G1 or Magic) or really provided anything resembling a complete set of relevant information about your phone and its current state. So it's hard to help.....even if this was the right forum...and it isn't.
Try formatting or using a new memory card.
I'm using a rogers Dream, I have a 2gb SD card with 32MB linux swap and 500MB ext3
HAD 1.33.2005 SPL, 1.4 cyanogen recovery image.
Now I have 1.33.0090, can't get into recovery.
Trying to boot normally brings me to a rogers screen.
I CAN get into fastboot, can I put cyanogen's recovery back on?
Sorry if this is the wrong forum, where should I have posted?
Also, I don't know what information IS relevant to this, so please bear with my noobness.
Is there a recovery that will let me flash a ROM without changing the SPL back to 2005? Apparently if I can get the phone to boot up I should be able to use flashrec to upgrade the radio and SPL from the point I'm currently at.
Moved as not Android Development.
So I'm not sure what I did but the phone boots now...
Holy sh** it wasn't just me. I have this SAME problem. After flashing eclair and wiping and flashing another ROM it just stays at my splashscreen FOREVER. Even broke my nandroid, so I can't restore. How I fix mine everytime: Flash a rom OVER open eclair boot up... you'll probably get a sht load of force closes and all that but once you ge tto login screen just reboot into recovery and wipe and flash or nandroid restore then it should work.
If you guys are rogers, then you will most likely be ebi1, in which case, dont forget that you must also flash an ebi1 kernal to get past the boot screen.
So the phone booted into the original 1.5, I didnt realize the downgrade of my SPL flashed the ROM too. I put flashrec on and flashed Amen Ra's new recovery image and the rogers radio update, this is what I'm at now.
DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA21000)
CPLD-4
Radio-3.22.26.17
Trying to flash to a custom rom again still fails. I've tried cyanogenmod, super D, and openEclair, it doesn't seem to matter. Where can I get an ebi1 kernel to flash?
E: looking at your signature, it seems I've got the right radio, I'll try using that port tool.
That did the trick! I followed the steps in your signature, flashed a rom, then flashed the ebi1 kernel and my phone booted like a dream. Pun intended.
Edit: So I'm back to only being able to run openeclair. Flashing cyanogen and then briancrook's ebi1 kernel still only gives me the rogers screen. I am however able to flash back to openEclair to get access to a working device again.
Edit: openEclair is running like garbage, it keeps completely locking up the device, I haven't even been able to log into my gmail account to get my contacts back.
Okay, I've managed to get the rom running smoothly by wiping everything, flashing the non-ramhack version of openEclair 1.2.2, then flashing the 1.2.2 ebi1 kernel. Unfortunately for some reason when I do get into eclair, I have no phone app, no settings, and no contacts app, even tho the contacts still work if i try to message someone. This is infuriating.
