Problem with any rom other than JF 1.5/1.51 US

It seems that I can't get a clean boot off anything other than the JF 1.5 or 1.51 US builds. I've tried cyanogen and even jf 1.51/1.5 ADP builds but it always boot loops. Any suggestions?
I've read through the questions threads, I've used search. I just can't seem to find anything relevant to my problem in specific. I've flashed to hardspl, I've updated the radio, tried various builds of the same developer to see what it could possibly be, but I'm pretty stumped.

Hmmmm... try re-flashing RC29, re-root, and try the update again... sounds like its not updating correctly

Tried that multiple times over the last few days. this time, I managed to get past a straight reboot loop, but I was stuck at the boot screen with sounds/alerts/sleepbutton as if I had changed my launcher.apk with a file from the wrong rom. Going to reflash to 29 again and try it again =P
As many times as I go through this long (well, not quite) and arduous (heh, sure) process, it's still fun
*edit* out of curiosity, how extensive are nandroid backups? I've tried some flashes using a nandroid restore from an rc29 with the OTA radio and cyanogen's restore img. Would that reflash me back to prior settings?
//Note not all of my installs are with nandroid restores. I have tried with pure fresh dreaimg.nbh/root/hardspl/radio installs.

hmmm, have you tried flashing the new recovery? Try Cyan's 1.3.1 Recovery Image, might work a little better.

just reboot looped again. order of operations for a freshie should be something like this;
1)dreaimg.nbh
2)root
3)cyan's recovery
4)ota radio
5)JF 1.51 ADP
correct?
*edit* in all honesty, I want to try cyan's newest build but if I can't even get past installing JF's ADP build... ya...

No... you're missing HardSPL between root and cyan's recovery.

lol, just did some more searching, and realized that I was misunderstanding what hardspl actually did for me. It was my understanding that Cyan's recovery img replaced hardspl (don't ask me how I got it mixed up, I just did, ok? xD). I just got into rooting my G1 recently, if you haven't noticed.
Thank you for your timely reply's and hopefully this helps me dive into what I was missing out on

Sorry for the double post but the issue isn't resolved.
the problem is persistant. even with hardspl in (could have sworn I had that in at some point anyway) I still can't use the ADP or cyan's latest

Did you perform a wipe before flashing ROMs? Not wiping may cause some boot loops with certain mods.

I've done a full wipe back to dreaimg.nbh (assuming that's what you mean). I've gone back to step 1 of the root process. Still no go

You should go ahead and wipe before all of the builds when your starting up. I believe DREAIMG.nbh is a US based rom, and the JF you are installing is ADP. You MUST wipe when switching from US based ROM to an ADP based ROM

im having the exact same problem i was able to get a rom other than the JF installed, i have tryed every damn way possible and mine will not work either. i use the Haykuro 1.5 Cupcake one, and it seems to work. My phone gets stuck whenever i try to load any hero, or Cynanogen roms. Its depressing, yeah fun at first but now i look at posts and cry hahahahha when these people have theres all bad ass! SOMEONE HELP USSS! email me at [email protected] if needed pleeeease i need HERO!

root, wipe, flash JF, wipe, update radio, wipe, update recovery image, wipe, flash whatever ROM you want.
Did you try that?

1 Click Rooting...

Ok I've done the 1 Click Root process. The problem is, I totally UNrooted my phone before I did the 1 click root. I tried to load a Hero rom I got off the www.theunlockr.com website but I had to update the SPL which bricked my phone. I did wipe first so thats not the problem. I don't know what went wrong when I bricked my phone. I am getting a new from t-mobile(I kinda told them the donut 1.6 update screwed my phone up).
Now I want to root again with the 1 click but do I need to go back to the original build RC29 build or whatever it was in order to root with the 1 click ? And when I flash to a new rom do I need to update the SPL again?

READ FIRST!! I dont know where so search. I dont feel like finding you all the guides warnings and post about it. There are many precautions to take while flashing hero and even if you follow all of them to the "T" you still have a big chance of bricking your phone so use the Search Bar

The thing is I've flashed all sorts of rom's before, but I wanted to try the 1 click rooting process. I think what happened is I flashed the SPL before I flashed the updated radio. I was doing some research on the whole thing. I flashed the SPL first.

if you use the DREAIMG.nbh to go back to rc-29, it is really easier to use the telnet commands then it is to root with the one click imo, you can use one-click root, but you have to find the newer version of the recovery flasher, and if you use it and don't flash a custom rom, then the system will overwrite the custom recovery image with the stock one. if you use the telnet commands then you will overwrite the stock recovery image with a custom one, so the telnet commands are more stable
to update your spl, make sure you have a pvt board in bootloader (camera and power) and that your radio is 2.22.19.26I (make sure you have that radio, not just assume after you flash it) then you can get rid of all the user error in flashing the 1.33.2005 SPL.

Were you already rooted when you did the 1 click root? - if you were then that might have been were the mess up happened because once you do the one click root you have to flash a rom (probabably cyanogen would be best) to continue or you lose root.
Following that question if you were already rooted and had hard spl and new radio - the one click might have cause you to lose that.
You have to flash from hard spl to danger spl
Radio should be newest or second to newest
Also it is said to flash hero rom right after flashing spl. - Which means not turning off your phone or rebooting after flashing
- I saw a video were they were at the rainbow boot screen and they flashed the Danger Spl and then inserted a new sd card that had hero and flashed it without rebooting.

is one click still ok ?
I've had my G1 for about a yr now. Watching the mods grow . Never had thought about rooting just because I didn't want to have to keep changing to keep up to date. Then the one click came out and it was time. Ordered my 8gig class6 sd and before I got it Google did this C&D to CY. I see people saying they are doing the 1 click method and the links they put on are before the C&D. Can it still work ? Also everyone who tries to give directions how to get root and roms are different. Even this thread has been changed or something was left out. Is there a true one click method ? I tried theUnlockr way 3 times and I still wound upwith a wiped phone. Please Help Me ...

one click will not work in donut 1.6. it will be patched, there is a thorough guide in my sig. i also have links i can give you for cm 4.0.4 and 4.1.11.1 if you want them.

1-click root only works with CRC1 and lower. Personally, I prefer to downgrade to RC29 and manually root it. I've done it about 20 times that way and have never once had an issue. In fact, I did it last night and today that way and both phones are rooted with Hero ROMs and running perfectly.
My advice, find a good tutorial (there are plenty, particularly the stickies on XDA on the subject) and download all necessary files ahead of time so that you aren't stuck in the middle of rooting looking for a file. If you want to flash the update "Danger" SPL, there is a combination radio/spl so that bricking is less likely. Search XDA for it. Also, check if you have PVT board first (camera+power). If not, brick it you will (or more than likely will). If I had to guess the main reason for problems and bricks it is that people rush the process and skip steps because they started the process without reading the whole tutorial.

I was rooted before I did the one click but I downgraded to RC29 with DREAIMG.nbh file. I did the 1 click process fine. I figured that what fxcked up my phone is that i flashed the custom SPL before I flashed the new radio first. I'm pretty sure thats what messed it up. I wanted to the Amon Ra's Recovery image and I didn't know how install that with out doing the 1 click root process.

ya if you flash spl before raidio that's what messed you up ! always radio first then spl . but you know that now .can you get in recovery at all ?

No I can't get passed the G1 boot screen. Its ok though T-Mo is sending me a "LIKE NEW" G1. I told them the donut update screwed my phone up. I can't believe I did the SPL first but its a mistake that could have cost me more then a 19.95 delivery fee that IS being waived by T-Mo.
But heres the question with 1 click root do I need to downgrade to RC29 or no?

no just be on stock cupcake and use the 1 click root. Then when you did that go into recovery and flash a rom that is not hero or requires danger spl

Sounds good. Before screwing things up I always had good success in flashing roms trying multiple roms in a day. My favorite is the xRom. I am curious to see if eventually there will be a Cliq rom.

Android Dev 1.6 to original cupcake

Please help!!! I started messing with my phone about a week ago and I install the Android 1.6 dev. It will not flash anything, not even an spl. What am I missing. I almost feel bad asking because all of you seem to have such knowledge of this stuff. Thank you very much

I don't wanna bring your hopes down thinking this was help lol but u prolly tried flashing cyanogens new rom and its funny cause i was JUST about to post this same shiet. but anyways. i was thinking about flashing the dream file but i dunno if that owuld brick my phone or not. and just to clarify its the htc 1.6 dev right? i mean if thats the only 1? lol

yup
That is exactly what happened! I don't understand how this isn't a major issue and posted everywhere. If you figure it out make sure you let me know and I will do the same. Take it slow!

Can you explain what the problem problem is? What have you been trying to flash? Do you get errors? What recovery image are you using?
Btw, if you're flashing an SPL or radio with Cyans recovery, you can't use the trackball. It must be an update.zip which you install by pressing alt-s and reboot using home+power. If you don't it wont be installed.

Well, I don'tk now about the original poster, but I've tried flashing the OTA cupcake rom to downgrade. renamed to update, went into recovery but it says its not authorized. and.. im afraid to put the dream.nbh or w/e cause it might brick the phone.
PS: This is 1.6 without root. this is the dev ver. so we have the exclamation point recovery not cyan.

okay first you need a app called flashrec it will dl cyan recovery image then you reboot.But you need root first also teh dreaimg.nbh file which is RC29.

1.5 cupcake rc30 or something and up was patched with the one click root, that's why we were trying to downgrade to 1.5..

nothing works
I can't use the flash rec because it won't back up the recovery image! Everything I try to flash just goes to installation aborted! I don't know what to do!

It's b ecause 1.5 rc30+up (including 1.6) patched up the 1 click, but an answer would be nice

flash the dream image and start from scratch. that takes everything back to stock, then you can re-root. This thread can walk you through it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=491350

it doesnt work
I already tryed that but it won't let me flash the spl!

i tried that too
I tried flashin the dreaimg too. I have ran jf1.5 before and flashed themes and everything. That's why I don't understand why I can't flash anything. The 1.6 work but the recovery image isn't letting me flash anything at all! Once I installed the 1.6 dev it flashed me from the 1.4 cyanogen image to the exclamation image with a differnt bootloader. Ever since then I can't flash anything.

i think he means using camera + power unroot it.but im guessing we don't flash the SPL since we can't, we just flash the dream.nbh?

After Factory Reset
Guys,
I did factory reset but now I can not work with HTC dream as it is requesting me to cerate a gmail account, and I can not cerate because I do nto have internet in my mobile operator.
Does anyone knwo how to bypass this mesage?
please help meee.
r,

bhowd u do the factory reset?

I did it!!!
I had to download sdk, get it working, fastboot the the cyanogen 1.4 recovery image. After the it let me install all of my updates. YAAAAYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

could you tell me the steps of what you did?
I'm stuck with ADP1 1.6 ><
Thanks a lot!!

This will work!!!
Trust me this will work because it took me hours to figure out. Install sdk, get it to work. They explain how to use the program on the forum. After you finally get into fastboot flash the cm 1.4 recovery image. After you do that you can bootup into that recovery and it will then read all of your zip files unlike that stupid exclamation recovery.

slightly confused
So you mean you used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010 to figure out how to use the sdk right?
If not, can show me the link to that guide?
Many thanks!!!

yes
Yes, I used the sticky notes at the top of Dream Q&A to figure it out and it wasn't too fun.

Need help with installing rom coming from root

I just rooted my g1 and i'm having problems trying to install cms rom.
some info;
DREA100 PVT 32B
HSPL10.95.3000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
Oct 20 2008
I installed cm's recover 1.4 img and have access to the recovery screen no problem.
Tired installing AP1.6 but can't confirm it got installed.
I did this..
wipe
flashed signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721
wipe
flashed cm 4.2.7.1
goes to the T-mobile screen, then it loads up cm's boot screen then after where it should take me to the setup screen, it turns gray/black and stays there.
please give me some imput on what i'm doing wrong.
Thanks!

You wipe, then you flash the ota update. Reboot and it will go back into recovery by itself. from there you install cm, without wiping. Reboot and you are good.

Ok i've done just that.
wiped
flashed ota, it goes back to recovery image
i flash cm 4.2.7.1
reboot and it does the same thing.
t-mo logo loads up. then cm's android bootscreen loads up.
then it goes gray/black and stays there.
i know im doing something wrong but not sure what... should i install a older cm rom first? since i'm coming from a fresh rooted g1? i was coming from rc29

it shouldn't make a difference. how much time did you wait? It could take up to 15 minutes for the first initial boot.

i've waited about 10mins. but even if it goes to the gray/black screen i should wait for it longer?
gonna redo this again and wait for a longer time. 20mins max and see where it goes from there.

Upgrade to amon_ra recovery 1.5
Then do this
Wipe
install ADP 1.6
flash cm rom right after flashing ADP without reboot
now reboot and it will go back to recovery mode
now reboot once again and wait my friend

I'm still waiting for about 20mins to see if it reboots good.
If not then i'll be doing the new amon_ra recovery 1.5 way.
should i install a older cm rom if coming from bare root?
or it doesn't matter if i'm flashing 1.6?

you might want to consider upgrading your spl while you're at it. Just a thought. I don't think it's necessary for running Cyanogen, but it'd be nice to have in case you ever want to run a hero rom to upgrade to the danger spl

where can i get the spl? I dont wanna install the danger one since I wont be installing hero on it. I just wanna run cm roms.

no luck still. but have another dumb question for you folks.
the spl i have is this. .. HSPL10.95.3000
is this ok to run cm or should i upgrade it? i know that there is a spl that is used to run hero roms but i'm not gonna be doing that so I thought that maybe there might be another spl out there that is a upgrade from the one i have?
gonna go search the forums for this btw. I dont wanna be a pain about this.

I was wondering if it was your spl that could be preventing the rom to boot up. If you don't want to flash the danger spl, you can flash another one, like the HardSPL. I'm sure if you look in one of the sticky's or locked threads at the top of the forums in development you will probably be able to find a download link. It's worth a shot. Since you already have the latest radio, there is no reason to worry about upgrading the radio.

i was checking the forums and i have the hard spl.
or at least this says is the hard one. goes something like this..
hardspl =VER: HSPL10.95.3000
then
Engineering SPL=VER: HBOOT-0.95.3000
and last
G1 Original SPL=VER: HBOOT-0.95.0000
still no luck with installing cm's rom.. gonna look some more.
thanks for all the help guys! please if you think of something else let me know.

ok can't figure this crap out. gonna go bald lol
did a restore on my recovery and i'm back to this.
Model number: Android Dev Phone 1
Firmware version: 1.6
Baseband version: 62.50s.20.1H_2.22.19.26I
Kerner version: 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37
[email protected] #19
Build number: dream_devphone-userdebug 1.6 DRC83 14721 test-keys
It does show the 1.6ADP
but what the hell lmao. I can't install cm though.
Not gonna touch the g1 right now till hopefully some of you can tell me how or what to do to upgrade my rom to hopefully cm4.2.7.1.
Again i'm really sorry for being soo needy.

oh crap. I think i lost root access again >_< crap
what's the best way to check to see if i still have root?
turned off phone and tried going into recovery but now it just shows the triangle ! and the phone pic. guess root is gone???

The newer Spl rearranges how mem is allocated so more is given to system partition on phone which allows larger roms to be installed(heros).Any SpL is fine for cyanogen/enom/dwang roms.

The triangle means root is no longer with you,young one.

ok, gonna root it again. i can get it to rc29 no problem but that's where the entire thing went wrong. will post later. wish me luck

ok rooted my g1 once again. gonna install the 1.4 recovery image now.
ok installed 1.4 recovery, now performing a backup for this point.
I think I have a old cm rom around somewhere.. .. its a 3.9.5cm should i update radio first then install this or visa versa?
+ok, installed 1.4 and flashed new radio. now gonna do what your saying and see where it goes. performing backups at each point >< lol
-ok i went to recovery and flashed the new radio and it's still formating cache... its been like 5mins already. should i reboot or wait longer?
i'm still needing to install the 1.6ADP and the rom still.

Don't reboot between the 2 zip files.
Boot to recovery
do a wipe
wipe it again for good measure
install from zip signed dev dream zip
install from zip Cyanogenmod 4.2.7.1
reboot
It will tell you it is writing radio then actually reboot
It will reboot to recovery mode
where it will tell you its writing cache...
wait till it offers reboot option again
Reboot
you shoul dget the G1 screen, than the cyanogen screen...
yes it might take a while on the second screen...I have never had it hang more than about 8 minutes.
Then you should be operational.
I do have a reoccuring issue with poor response after the initial boot to the desktop.
I usually just wait for it to stop all the background shuffling and then it smooths out.
YMMV

ok this is where i am so far...
have root
have hardspl
have recovery 1.4
have Radio Update 2.2.19.26I
now i'm gonna perform backup and do what you just said. hopefully since i did everything brand new there will be no issues.

Need help.

Okay for those of you who don't know, I totally bricked my phone based on a dumb decision last time and not knowing what I was doing.
I am thinking off trying to root my phone again, any advice on what rom I should root to and which is the best and most stable for the G1.

u should really go with cyanogens roms

Cyanogen's latest is pretty sweet. As long as you follow the steps correctly to root your phone, you shouldn't have any problems flashing any of the roms available. Then you can test them out, and see what you like.

does anyone know any good tuts to use to do so?

Thank you so much everyone! You all were a huge help. I have rooted my phone successfully this time and I love it!

I followed the instructions from the link on this thread to put cyanogen on my g1 but after the skateboarding android logo faded all I got was a illuminated phone I let it sit that way for 25 minutes hoping something would happen but nada so I restored a backup. Can anyone tell me what went wrong and how I can get cyanogen working?

Nobody can tell you what went wrong since we don't know what step you skipped/didn't do right based off that statement. All we can say is follow the guide to a T. The guides are the best the communitty has to offer/has produced on how to do what you want to do. If you can't follow the guide, sadly there is nothing we can do to help beyond repeating what the guide already says.

I've got cm recovery 1.4 so that step and the ones leading to it are done right, right? Then I ran the recovery, made a back up, wiped data, applied zip drc83 defanged, applied
Cm update 4.2.13 (I think 13, whatever stable version the "latest version" link give you), applied ota radio, and rebooted (automatically took me back to recovery) rebooted again, got g1 logo followed by the cyanogen android logo once that faded all the lights on my phone came on and stayed on and I had no display (apart from the backlight).
I tried multiple times with no luck. I downloaded the cm update from my phone could that of caused a problem? Everything else was dl'ed from a pc.
What's the differance between drc83 and signed dream devphone should I try that instead?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563679
Follow the guide to a T, since you are partialy there I will tell you what you have left:
1. Download the developer recovery ROM (This is different than drc83 by a lot)
2. Download the latest CM
3. Put both on the root of your SD card
4. Boot into recovery mode, flash the developer ROM, then flash the latest CM
5. Use the "Home" and "Back" buttons to reboot the phone
6. Tada! Success!
7. Never, ever, do anything the guide doesn't tell you to do. If it says flash file X don't flash file Y because you think it is close enough. Never do extra stuff, ie if it doesn't say flash a radio by itself, don't flash a radio by itself because it seems like a good idea.
