baq to RC29

hey i flashed the dreaimg.nbh file because i wanted to revert baq to stock
is this all i have to do. ive checked out the threads for it and they just say to flash this file and u will get an ota soon
i juss wanted to make sure it was tru. im on RC29
stock from this and hoping i get an OTA soon

You flashed DREAIMG.NBH to a phone with Haykuro's SPL? I've read that would brick a phone. Evidently not.
Anyway, yeah - if you flashed DREAIMG.NBH and are now on RC29, you're all set. Just wait for the OTA.

b4 i flashed the DREAIMG.NBH i flashed g1 original boot loader into it. but ive done it on haykuro's alot. never bricked. i think its because haykuros spl prevents from brick and the NBH file replaces the SPL to original also

Exactly. Both the SPL and radio are reverted back to stock so you shouldn't brick your phone. I've done this with mine and it didn't brick and I was able to re-flash the Radio/SPL, no problems.

The time is variable for each person as the network might only check your phone version every few hours and it might take till the next cycle for the OTA to be sent to you (I honestly don't know as I have never used the OTA and I'm on AT&T so it would've never been sent to me regardless). I, didn't use the OTA, I only reverted because there was a problem with my phone that necessitated the temporary downgrade. However, shouldn't take more than a day.

Or, you can search for the T-Mobile OTA if you're in a rush, I think its somewhere on the developer's forum. Use search, don't open a new thread, they will hate you for it.

CRC1 rooting....

Hey guys im looking to root my G1 (UK) am i safe to do it even though ive recently updated and my build number is CRC1? im really wanting my phone to appear to have the hero interface so am i correct in thinking that i just need to root it, apply Cyanogen's Recovery and then run the latest JAChero ROM? thanks - Adam

You'll have to downgrade to RC7, then root, then update your radio, then update your SPL, then update your ROM.

Thanks Uansari thats what i wanted to hear, im wondering if the CRC1 update caused any problems with regards downgrading/rooting but maybe its to early for anyone to know.

heres the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480 thats what im going to be using, ill let you know how i get on..... if i dare to do it.

If you follow that guide you won't have any issues. Just take your time to read it all first while you download the required files. Familiarise yourself with the steps then just take your time with it.

Quick update, everything went well and im more that happy its like having a new phone - Thanks guys
- just wondering can i now format my memory stick to get rid of all the files i put on it or are there things on it that will stop my phone from running root and roms? - Thanks - Adam

You can go ahead and format your SD card, there is nothing on there that gives root "permissions". Make sure you only format the FAT32 partition though and not the EXT partition because you will lose Apps 2 SD if you did that step already. If you didn't partition your SD card yet in preparation for your Hero build, and have no idea what I'm talking about, you can still format it and not lose root or ROMS lol

I have a crc1 version, but i don't know which version if UE or US. Immagine US because is from there. The procedure is the normal one, installing the RC29 or RC7? Which one of thos i have to install, the RC29 or the RC7?
Thanks a lot in advance.

hey guys i'm trying to root my phone first time
i've moved DREAIMG.NBH, recovery.img and update.zip to sd card and then turn off my phone. Then i hold camera button and press power button to entry bootloader mode and i got the message checking.......and then "not allowed"
where's the problem,
i have CRC1 firmware 1.5, Germany T-mobile

^ try doing the .nbh file by itself first, on your SD card that is formatted to Fat32. Then reboot, delete this file from your SD, then add the other files to the SD card. Follow the guide, it will not fail you.
with that said, you should find cyanogens image file... it is pretty awesome. ver 1.4.

nothing again,
i did as you said and again i've got messag. when reboot "not allow"
here is spec:
DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.96.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
whats the next, can u help me?

did you get the correct .nbh file (RC29 is for the US only, RC7 is for the UK)
Did you format your SD card using your computer to FAT32?
Did you copy the correct .nbh file to the SD card (that was blank... no folders, nothing on it)?
:edit added:
Just saw the other info you posted... have you already installed the new radio and SPL? I do not know if the order of things matter.... but it does not follow the instructions for rooting. If you have already done that, you may need to look for the more experienced people on here to chime in.

nope i didn't install new radio and SPL, i think i have to install RC7 first at all, but i can't. What's about RC8 or RC9, because i'm in Germany?

Unable to update SPL

Since I'm unable to root my dream until I have SPL 1.33.2005 on the phone I've been trying to update it to the correct one. Once in recovery mode upon pressing alt-S with the update.zip on the root of the sdcard I get the following error
E:No signature (5 files)
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted
Exactly what am I missing?

that spl has nothing to do with getting root as far as i know. to get root you have to downgrade to rc-29. that is haykuro's spl that frees up more memory in system

apologies for my ignorance with rogers. never had to deal with a rogers phone lol. but back to the OP's problem, if it says no signature then the spl you have for some reason is not signed. really do not know what the reason for this would be. you could have gotten a bad download of the spl. try to redownload the spl from haykuro's site and see if it will work

Even with haykuro's signed spl I still get the same error as before.
Also following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4048946&postcount=404 I get "cannot load "boot-new.img"
I have no clue whats going on anymore.

do you have the boot-new.img in the same folder as all your other fastboot required stuff. sorry for lack of proper terms. follow the second post in this thread to set up a fastboot folder and place the boot-new.img in it. see if that helps any

The new boot image is in the same folder as the fastboot exectble as well as adb. I added the path of my tools folder to the environmental variables previously as well as copied AdbWinApi.dll to the system32 folder just in case. Again no dice.

Can you use adb or fastboot for anything else?

fastboots useless until I have the new spl installed, which I can't install either.

The only thing i can think of is that since it says the files are not signed, is that you can try to sign the update.zip for the spl and try flashing it. Other than that i can think of nothing else at this time. I'm sorry. Like i said earlier don't really know anything about the rogers rooting process except for what i saw in the thread posted earlier and since i do not have a rogers device to test it on i can't know more than what i read.
PHP:

After further hunting it seems that there are two different update.zips.
One is 184kb and one is 2MB. Using the rogers dream rooting guide I get the 184k one which doesn't work. Should I start hunting for the 2mb one and give the rooting another go?

It can't hurt to look for it. I hope you can finally get it rooted

I may have just bricked the phone.
I used the recovery flasher app from the marketplace to flash the recovery image from the rogers rooting thread. That gave me the cyanogen 1.2 + JF recovery image. I then flashed the .2005 spl or so I thought. After booting into fastboot it still showed .0009 spl. I figured what the hell and made a nandroid backup, the wiped the phone and flashed it with the cyanogen rom 4.0 and now the phone is stuck on the rogers boot screen. I still can get to the modified recovery mode as well as fastboot though.

your phone is not bricked thankfully that is just a soft brick. try to flash haykuro's spl from the rogers root thread again after using the recovery flasher app.
make sure that you do not use the trackball to flash it and that you use the keyboard commands and home and back to reboot.

danger spl D=

i had to reroot my phone because somehow i lost the recovery image and it wouldnt let me flash anything
so i went re did everything
and i put the danger spl on here and now its stuck at the Tmobile G1 screen
am i screwed or is there something that i can do

Did you flash the radio first?

no
i didnt i couldnt remember which one was first

Remember when you flash the new spl you HAVE TO flash the rom again after it. Did you do that?

it doesnt even let me get to the recovery image to do that i had just flashed to jf 1.51 btw

if you can't boot into recovery (home and power) or bootloader (camera and power) then your phone is bricked. you can either call your provider or htc and say something about an update, and see if you can get a replacement phone.

can i just go to the tmo store tomarrow? and then they can just give me a new one?

you could try it, sometimes it is better over the phone, but you can try in store.
make sure you sound as dumb as possible, like you don't know anything about xda, rooting, flashing, brick, or anything technical. just say something about an update, then afterward it started back up, that it wouldn't boot.

im mexican so i can be all like
i was like eschool nd then the thing was like update nd i turn off pero no turn back on

haha, i imagine that one would work

hopefully very well

The same exact thing happened to me a few monthes back, I called them and after some bs story they sent out a replacement phone. Then once you get the replacement, you just put your original phone back in the box and ship it back to them.

I have been able to replace a g1 in the store. Just don't take no for an answer. And if you have to take a hostage.

but seriously though, you should try a little harder before resorting to re-rooting. You know that it may not always be possible to fall back to RC29 if HTC decides to change the keys, right? You should learn how to troubleshoot so you wont have to resort to that

Rooted phones would do more harm than good to the average user...
As for your situation, does holding the Camera or Home key not boot you into SPL or recovery, respectively?
It's likely than when you went back to RC29 to reroot, your radio is reverted back along with it, and then you flashed the dangerSPL to brick your phone.

flashing the DangerSPL then the RC29 image should have any detrimental affect on the phone. People has successfully downgraded directly to RC29 with success.
I've read many posts to that extent, but I cannot be 100% as I haven't done it myself

[Q] Stuck at Clockwork Recovery screen? HELP!??!

I am currently stuck at the clockwork recovery screen. BTW i did the one click root...didnt break stock bootloader. not sure if this makes a difference or not. i was told it didnt...? i cant get back to stock firmware and i cant load zx2.1 sense i keep getting errors on both and i really have no idea what the hell to do from here. error on zx2.1 is as E:cantchown/mod/system/xbin (no such file or directory)
E:failure at line 17: set_perm_recursive 0 2000 0755 -6755 system:xbin

If you have stock SPL those roms will not fit ito your system partition. They need danger spl or the recent mtd partiton hack.
You can also try a donut rom without sense, they usually fit stock spl system.
€: If you want to go back to stock rom, you need the correct dreamimg.nbh for your device on your sd card and flash it via bootloader. This will obviously break root.

The computer doesn't need to see the phone. Put the file on the root of the sd card, the name of the file has to be correct and is case sensitive, DREAIMG.nbh IIRC. Power down the phone, insert the sd card, press and hold the camera button while you power it on until you see the bootloader screen. The phone should see the file and take it from there.

Sorry, IIRC = If I Remember Correctly.
The file name is upper case, the .nbh is lower case. To check the validity of the file you can search for and download an MD5 sum checker, but after 5 attempts I doubt that would be it. The only things I can think of is either a problem with the card, or something with the phone. Try reformatting the card making sure it's a FAT32 full format, not a quick format. Hopefully one of the Android gods around here will see this have some better ideas.

ya its jus like this DREAIMG.nbh man i did the one click root didnt break bootloader....tried to boot load the regular rom and nothing man. im done with it. its tottally effed in my opinion....ive tried everything i can think of...

You really have to make sure you got the right DREAMIMG.nbh. If you have e.g. a T-Mobile G1 get the newest for T-Mobile. Be sure to have the newest, as it is possible that older versions are not flashable either. There are lots of those images around, and if you try them at random they are quite sure not to work.
Also there might be problems if the SD-Card is not formated properly. If you have an external reader, take it out and format it on your pc. Then put the (correct) image on it.
Perhaps if you tell us the brand of your mobile, we can try to guide you to the right image.
