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.

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.

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.

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

Need Help...can't Downgrade To Rc29

So I've had my G1 for a while now on the stock non-rooted OS and I decided to try to get a 2.1 rom installed on it. After looking around and reading quite a bit, I primarily went off of this blog post to get it done. hxxp://www .myhangoutonline.com/component/content/article/342-tutorials/7-root-and-upgrade-your-g1
I got it downgraded to RC29 successfully and went through the rooting process. Once I tried to reboot it into recovery mode, my phone just sat at the G1 screen indefinitely. Waited up to an hour and restarted the entire process about 3 times with the same result. Then I started looking around thinking maybe the DREAIMG.nbh file that was provided was no good and I got one linked off of this site hxxp:// androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-root-a-t-mobile-g1-and-mytouch-3g-android-phone/
So the next time I tried to start over by restoring to the RC29 image it gets all the way through and fails at the end. It says "Update Terminate UPDATE FAIL". I tried going back to the image that worked a few minutes prior to that and I'm getting the same thing.
Any ideas on what I need to do? I'm stuck without a phone until I get this resolved...

Your post is difficult to understand.
The first question:
WHY did you install an NBH file?
The second question:
WHAT *exactly* did you do to the thing?
The third question:
WHY are you trying again to install an NBH file?
The fourth question:
What is it doing now?
The fifth and final question:
HOW can you possibly justify following a bunch of steps that some retard spewed out on a "blog"?
Note: NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER write an NBH file to your phone!!! Especially once you have root! NEVER.
Note2: you say its stock tmoble-branded htc dream? That means android 1.6 and I believe susceptible to the 1-click-root bug... why didn't you run the 1-click root?
What happens if you try to boot the phone ***NORMALLY*** (instead of recovery)?
What happens if you plug in the USB and run "adb logcat"?

1. I installed the nbh file because that's what was in every single set of instructions I've found said to do. Step 1 is to downgrade your phone to RC29 for US phones, and the DREAIMG.nbh file is the way to do that from everywhere that I've seen, mostly here and the cyanogenmod forums. If there is a better guide to follow, please link me.
2. I've already explained this. I followed the following instructions:
1. Format your phone's SD card to FAT32 mode:
o Hook your phone up to your computer using a USB cable and then wait for the
notification to show up in your title bar of your phone.
o Click the notification, and then click "Mount".
o A new removable disk should show up on your computer. Right click it and select
Format, and select FAT32 as the file system type.
2. Download and unzip the RC29 or RC7 image file. Copy the DREAIMG.nbh file to the SD card.
(RC29 for US, RC7 is for UK)
3. Turn the device power off.
4. Hold Camera button, and press Power button to entry boot loader mode. You should see a
gray/white screen with instructions to flash your phone with the update on your SD card. If you
don't see that, make sure you followed the instructions properly.
5. As per the on-screen instructions, press the Power button to start upgrade procedure. DO NOT
DO ANYTHING TO INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS.
6. After it is finished, perform the restart your phone.
Rooting your RC29 or lower phone:
On RC29 phones and lower, anything you type into your keyboard is also being run in a hidden console
with root permissions. More information regarding that at the bottom of this post. But, to get root access,
do the following:
Instructions:
1. Download recovery.img or the new version by Amon recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img 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 Hard SPL and copy the zip file to the SD card.
3. All files must be on the root of your SD card.
4. Restart your phone. Wait for your phone to start up fully and show the home screen.
5. 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.)
6. Download an Android "Telnet" application from the Market and connect to localhost.
7. If you connect successfully, you will have a root prompt "#".
8. Type the following into Telnet (these commands will give you root access easier in the future):
o mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
o cd sdcard
o flash_image recovery recovery.img
o cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img
Now you have root!

3. Already explained in #1. Again if there is a better, easier guide to follow by all means show me. I am new to this, and from what I've seen if noobs ask "how do I do this" around here, they get flamed for not figuring it out for themselves. Something I'm also sensing from your post.
4. I've gotten past my initial problem. This morning I was shown another DREAIMG.nbh file from another source, and I was able to get it on the phone and get it to boot. I've since gone through the root process (using the guide posted above), but I still can't get it into recovery mode. So that's where I'm now stuck.
5. As opposed to a bunch of steps some retard spewed on a "message board"? All of the guides I've gone through were either on or linked to from this forum or the cyanogenmod forum. Both I assume reputable sources for this type of thing.
Note: I think you need to show me another guide because what you're saying contradicts everything I've seen.
Note2: Don't know. Everything I've seen says I have to go back to 1.4 to be able to root it because the security holes were closed in 1.6.
The phone is again back to the 1.4 image from the nbh file. I've tried to root it and get it to recovery mode without any luck, so I could use some guidance on what to do from here. I'm not really sure what adb logcat is or why I'd want to do it.

Just because it was written does NOT make it right.
The process of rooting does NOT require an NBH file.
The process of REPAIDING NEVER needs an NBH file.
You should NEVER TOUCH an NBH file. The ONLY thing an NBH file does is it increases the risk that you will brick your phone by a bad flash.
Don't do it!

Define "can't get it into recovery". WHAT recovery do you have installed? The stock one that came with the NBH? Or some OTHER recovery that you installed? You say that it boots into the OS now? Congratulations. DO NOT INSTALL ANOTHER NBH FILE EVER!
What you need to do is install an engineering SPL, and NOT 1.33.2005! Try 1.33.2003.
You can then flash anything you like using FASTBOOT.

I can see that this can quickly escalate into an unnecessary back and forth argument. So to avoid that how about I tell you what I've done and where I'm at currently, and you can inform me on what to do to get to my goal?
From what I've seen I had to essentially do the following things:
1. downgrade to RC29
2. root
3. upgrade radio and SPL
4. Install ROM to get to 2.1
What I've done:
1. Formatted my sdcard to fat32, and put the DREAIMG.nbh file on the root of the sdcard.
2. Shutdown. Start up the phone holding the camera button. Got to the gray screen to update, pressed the power button to update.
3. Update successful. Rebooted by pressing call, menu, and power buttons.
4. Went through the setup wizard to set up the phone with my google account.
5. Installed telnet application from the market.
6. Downloaded recovery.img and spl-signed.zip (Danger SPL) and put them on the root of the sdcard.
7. From home screen, pressed enter twice. Typed telnetd.
8. Opened telnet application. Typed the following commands:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd sdcard

cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img/CODE]
9. Shut down phone. Held down the home button while powering phone on in attempt to get to recovery mode.

First you need to be really carefull with the danger spl (make sure you have the right radio installed before installing that spl or bye bye to your phone). You need to install Amon Ra's new recovery. Put 2.1 on sd card. Wipe and flash.

I got the radio upgraded to 2.22.29.26I.
Turns out I have to hit alt-l to get past the ! screen in recovery mode. So now I should be able to install the danger spl, and then the rom, right?
The one I'm seeing with the guide is Cyanogenmod 4.2.15.1.

To be honest I would flash Amon Ra's new recovery first so you can flash the danger spl and then the rom without a reboot in between. And if you want to install that version of cyanogen you really don't need the danger spl, but if you want to jump up to his 5.0.7 Test5 you'll need to (thats the 2.1 version).

If you want to avoid bricks, you really should NEVER go straight from 0.95.x000 SPL --> 1.33.2005 SPL. The reason for this is that there is no way to make that jump without using recovery, and since those SPLs are so different from each other, it has to use the cache-->update-hboot-->recovery-wipe-cache approach, which is where bricks come from.
If you have a 0.95.x000 SPL and want to go to 1.33.2005, you FIRST go to 1.33.2003 (that's a THREE) using recovery (since 0.95.x000 and 1.33.2003 have equal compatibility) -- this opens up the door for using FASTBOOT to flash your SPL. The move between ANY pair of engineering SPLs using fastboot is guaranteed safe since it can never get stuck in a failed boot-recovery (brick).

Problem Installing SPL and Updating Radio

Hi Everyone,
I am sorry to bother you guys, but I am writing since I am having a hard time upgrading my g1 to the hardspl or any spl for that matter after downgrading and then re-rooting. As per the directions I have:
1. First reformatted my sd card to fat32 in Windows.
2. Downloaded RC29 DREAIMG.nbh file and placed in main sdcard.
3. Turned off the phone off and rebooted holding the Camera button and the Power button until the phone is in bootloader mode.
4. Followed the directions and installed DREAIMG.nbh; and then rebooted the phone via Call button, Menu button & Power button all at the same time.
5. Used t-mobile sim card with data to log in.
6. Then pressed “enter” and type “telnetd” and then “enter.”
7. Next downloaded telnetd from Market.
8. Gained access via telent and did the following
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery.img
cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img
The recovery image that I used was the Cyanogen AmonRa recovery from ttp://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Dream:_Rooting
9. Step 8 was not fully successful in adding in the recovery image. So I downloaded AndExplorer from Market and installed it. And then I installed Flash Recovery as well, and used Flash Recovery to install the Amon Ra Recovery.
10. After that I rebooted the phone into recovery and did wipe and factory reset.
11. Then I Partitioned the SDCARD to 512mbs for ext2 and fat32 for the remainder. Then Partition SD Card > SD: ext2 to ext3.
12. Then I did USB toggle and loaded up the radio ota-radio-2_22_19_26I, Hard SPL, update-cm-4.2.15.1-signed, and signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.
13. First I flashed the ota-radio-2_22_19_26I and rebooted to apply.
14. Then Hard SPL and rebooted to apply
15. Then did factory reset/wipe.
16. Then applied signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721 followed immediately by update-cm-4.2.15.1-signed.
After doing the above 16 steps, I was able to boot in Cyanogen 4.2 and when I checked the radio, it still shows the original old 1.22.12.29 radio. And when I reboot the phone via “Power” and “Back”, in fastboot it shows the rainbow screen with the info
DREA100 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
Radio-1.22.12.29
Sep 2 2008

So it means that the HardSPL is not installing, neither is the radio.
I have tried repeating the above steps with installing the radio then DangerSPL and then Cyanogen 5, but the phone remained stalled on the loading Android screen for 1 hour. So I pulled the battery and followed the above steps to restore the phone back to Cyanogen 4.2.
So can anyone please give me advise on what I can do to get HardSPL and the latest radio to install. Btw this originally an ADP1 that I got installed with the Tmobile stuff. If there was an ADP1 image, I would definitely restore it to that, but I have not come across one yet T.T
Thank you in advance for your help everyone.

So no one has any idea on what i can do to install the hardSPL? I even went here ttp://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page#Dream.2FG1.2FADP1 and rebooted everything. And at this point I am running Android 1.1 with RC30 by jesusfreak with his recovery.img. Yet, I am still unable to install the hardSPL.
When I go through recovery mode and run the hardSPL installation, it the installation bar goes to 50% or so visually and then says everything is complete. And after that it tell me to press "home + back" to continue and it does the reboot and reboots back into recovery as well. So after that I reboot the phone and press "power + back" to enter into fastboot and it still shows the rainbow fastboot.
Sigh. So what is missing or what am i doing wrong. As i said I am still running Android 1.1 RC30 JesusFreak mod and I do not want to go up higher unless I am sure I can install the HardSPL.
Please any help would be much appreciate. Happy Holidays everyone .

I almost said flash the radio via fastboot *facepalm*
Are you sure you're using AmonRa's recovery? If you're using Cyan's you can't flash via 'any update.zip on sdcard' or whatever. It *must* be called update .zip and you must flash using alt-s, *not* using the trackball.
