Restore phone SPL Radio etc - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
I've been running Cyanogens images for some time without problem until last week. The G1 had frozen. I re-imaged and the apps would crash randomly every 10 seconds then it would reboot. I've tried a modded standard tmob image that is unclocked and it still crashes. I thought it was the SDcard so bought a new one. The exact same thing happens.
Searching the forums I cannot find the answer but how do I install the standard SPL, radio etc and in what order. I don't want to brick my phone before I return it.

first install the SPL and then radio afterwards ... if you try to do the radio first and you have the DangerSPL then you WILL brick

Does installing the RC7 NBH install the correct SPL?
My current thoughts are to do the SPL then the Radio then to the RC7 NBH file. Is this correct?

if you flash the DREAIMG.nbh file via bootloader it will change your radio and spl back to stock

Unable to change radio or SPL version

Hello.
First, sorry for my bad English (French guy).
I make a SD flash with a Rom, and something strange occurs: my radio rom version change to 1.16.00.00. I try (always SD flash) to change it with a newer, the process looks good (the download bar increase, the device reboot) but the radio rom version always the same. I try to change OS rom, no problem. I try to change SPL version, impossible: all process executed without error but at the next load of SPL (power-camera-reset) the version is always the same (1.30 Olipro).
I try with another computer (Win XP pro SP2) and with activSync, the problem was the same !
And I try with several rom version, idem.
So to be quick
OS ROM change: no problem
SPL change: impossible
Radio ROM change: impossible
If someone have an idea, I will be very happy
Bye
I find the solution !
Usually, I toogle in SPL mode manually.
The soluce for me was to downgrade the SPL (1.30 to 1.20 olipro) but let the RUU launch is own SPL.
And after, the SPL version was 1.20 and I can change ROM, Radio ROM etc...
[Mode happy ON]
Bye
Hi, can you post the procedure please? I have the same problem!!!
But your pda statup?
Thx
Roby
i don't understand how that is accomplished.
i have read through the trinity guide and that is what they recommended
My trinity has been flashed with 1.3oli and a custom rom but it hangs at the start up page.This makes the device disconnect from the USB.
so how do i let the RUU launch its own SPL?
It is supposed to make the device go into bootloader right? i cant access that since it is hanged
Advice please
Hi bigrockshow,
it is impossible, in this condition that rru launch its SSPL, and it is ipossible to use the method sspl.exe ....
I think that the only way is the splxploit but I don't find a sspl file to load on p3600 with splxploit
anyone have it?
I've exactly the same problem, oli 1.30, I can flash OS roms with no problem but I can't get a radio rom to go past 0%.
I've tried the spl exploit to boot into spl 1.07, I've tried going into the bootloader manually and I've tried letting the RUU load the SPL, no matter what I do I can't shift the radio from 1.16?
Any ideas?
mine is just wierd...
i used SPLxploit and the spl jumps to 3.03...
tried to flash hard SPL and its has error 270...
so i did SPLxploit again...
shows SPL 1.20 now
Tried to flash another rom and it still doesnt work..
did i miss something or is my dopod screwed...
You can't upgrade to the 1.56.70.11 Radio with Olipro 1.3. It looks like it's worked and gets to 100% on mine but doesn't actually change anything. I ended up using another HardSPL (can't remember the name now) to get the 1.56.70.11 Radio on there.
I looked for ages for a version of Olipro 1.2 but couldn't find one anywhere. Apparently it works ok with that version.
Sometimes these threads are really hard to follow when they get massive and the author updates the first posts and over writes stuff. I think they should all keep old stuff in there and just add too it instead of replacing information.

How to restore to original?

Hi there,
My brother also has an HD and off course I put a nice custom ROM on it
However, the screen is dead since yesterday.
I already put the original dutch ROM on it, but it shows a nasty green windows screen. I can't get any further beyond allign screen...
My question: when he sends his HD to HTC, they will probably won't fix it, because they can see it's HSPL (?).
So anybody knows how to restore to complete original, without getting into the phone with cabs? I put HSPL on it, the phone is 6 months old.
Any help would really be appreciated!!!!
Thx a lot

You can restore original SPL and rom without having to get into phone with cabs.
As long as you can enter bootloader screen you can restore stock SPL.
I came across this "step for step" process via a search. I have not tried it yet (and hopefully never have to -
How to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
1. download your choice of a stock spl package (ie the original SPL).
2. also download the original hardspl from the attachments in this post. (I presume you already have this?)
3. run the hardspl exe but do not click anything in RUU yet. just let the hardspl EXE extract the files for flashing. (You can probably skip this step)
4. the SPL you want to revert to is a .NBH file, put the stock SPL NBH in the extracted hardspl package, overwriting the original NBH file in it!
5. continue with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour 1.07.OliNex screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+6. to verify, enter bootloader mode, see version number on tricolour screen, should now just say 1.14.0000.
that's it.
+7. no worries: if your device is stuck in bootloader mode with Hard-SPL and you need warranty service, you can still flash stock SPL.
As I said, I have not tried this. If this does not work, search on this site or Google for additional info. Hope it helps.

Thanks for linking to the post, I just added the steps
The OP however says that they have already flashed back to the stock ROM, but that the colours are screwy. This needs the stock SPL restored as well in order to recover normal functioning (or at least so that they can send in for repairs without voiding the warranty).

note that; if you restore stock SPL 114 or 115 please download the same rom version for flashing.
ex: when you restore SPL 114 you must have ship Rom:http://rs68l32.rapidshare.com/files....479.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe
because the different SPL & Rom version will make wrong screen.
wow, thank you very much for the quick and usefull replies!
I installed this ROM:
http://rapidshare.com/files/2189268...6.404.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe
So after this I have to install original SPL? Can you guys see which one?
Thanks in advance!

firstly you must Hard SPL 1.56 Olinex
secondly flashing your rom
And restore with SPL 1.13 I assume?

The process of restoring stock rom/SPL is only to be used if you plan to return device. If you are wanting to keep you you mentioned earlier then you would need to put either USPL or HSPL on your device first. I would recommend USPL for you as it would be easier to return to stock SPL afterwards.
Once you have rom on your device, DO NOT restore stock SPL afterwards. You only restore this if you plan to return your device. If you did you would have to go through whole process of putting USPL or HSPL onto your device again to flash another rom.
The phone has to be returned because of screen problems.
I will put SPL 1.13 on it and then flash the earlier mentioned ROM.
Then return to HTC

No probs. Out of curiosity what screen problems do you have? Are they Hardware problems or is it something else which could possibly be fixed through the assistance of xda users
It's the phone of my brother, he tells me that the screen doesn't respond anymore, so he can't get past the calibration!
I'll give an update when HTC fixed this (or replaced it )
Thanks for all the help!
I'm doing this right now. I had been using Dutty's V6 before. I never updated the radio, so Ishouldn't have to change it, right?
Anyway, I flashed the stock RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe rom, and that went fine. I'm trying to flash the stock 1.13 spl, and I get error 202: connection. It thinks it can't see my phone, even though it does the initial connection, and even sees what version (1.56) of the spl is on there. Any ideas?
Ok, I did this: I put the phone into bootloader manually by pressing up when it boots up to get to the tricolor screen. That let me run the 1.13 spl pdate, and it said it completed successfully. However, when it boots ups, it still shows D:1.56 olinex or whatever. Did it not work?
Ok, acutally I think it did load up. The Bootloader shows SPL-1.13.0000. So why does it show:
R1.13.25.24
G52.62.25.34u
D1.56.00.00
Is this ready to send in for service?

If your SPL says 1.13.0000 then you are fine to send phone in for service.
R1.13.25.24 - Radio Version
G52.62.25.34u - Protocol Version
D1.56.00.00 - ROM Version

Not loading Rom, going to hardSPL

When i turn my phone on it doesn't go to the splash screen, it instead goes to the hardSPL screen, and will then reinstall my rom if i let it. Even after i do that it still goes to the hardSPL. The only thing that made it boot normally was removing the battery leaving it for a while but then when i restarted it went back into loading hardSPL.
Any ideas for what i could do to fix this?
I dont know what Rom i am running, its currently not booting.. but i am running hardSPL 3.29
I am reinstalling the rom using the microSD card.
If you can help at all, much appriciated!!!

Try reinstalling a stock Kaiser rom
I tried that, and nothing. It is still going straight to hard SPL. and draining the onboard chips no longer works.. Any more ideas??
When you are in bootloader, try to install the stock rom not with the sd card method. I think your problem relies in flashing through your card and everytime you boot..it takes you to hardslp.
Nope..
The RUU doesnt recognise there is any image on the phone, even just after installing its stock one.
Can i update HardSPL somehow?

Well,that's what I pointed you...but did you try to flash with the sd card removed?
Yeah, sorry that i didnt make that clear. i flashed with the RUU available with the stock rom, but no success.

Try different stock roms since I read that you don't even know which rom are U running.
I tried various other stock roms, some 6.0 and some 6.1, and all to no avail.
What I notice is that when I run the update program, there is no previous image version each time. I therefore think that the boot loader isnt being told there is any rom to run, and is therefore just running HardSPL. (apologies for the incorrect terminology and/or understanding of how it works)
To clasify exactly how I am installing these roms, I have downloaded them and running the straight .exe, not extracting out the Rom Update Utility (RUU) and the .nbh file from the .exe file. My phone doesnt have a SD card in it. Each time I run the RUU, it runs through as normal, aside from displaying no previous image number. When my phone restarts at the end of the update, it goes straight back to the tricolour HardSPL screen, and the RUU ignorantly tells me the update was a success.

I have a similar problem, i RUU the image but it doesn't actually flash the phone memory. If you look carefully to what's reported on the LCD during flash, i bet the "-" charachter besides the various items to be flashed (IPL, BOOTLOADER, GSM, SPLASH, EXTROM, OS if i remember correctly) doesn't turn to an "OK" to all items. That means the flashing process is not ended and so no image is actually flashed on the phone even if it seems to be. That's why a previous image number isn't displayed.
My phone has a standard SPL and is still bricked, but yours has HSPL flashed. You can try using Frankenkaiser, i hope it could help.
Good luck

Guidance for full downgrade from Cyan 5.07

I recently had some issues with my rooted G1 with which I am currently running CyanogenMod 5.07 with Danger SPL, a 2.X radio, and custom recovery.
I contacted T-Mobile and got my replacement, but I want to be clear to downgrade correctly the SPL, radio, recovery, and rom all in the correct sequence, before I send this old one in.
Any help I would greatly appreciate.
Find the DREAIMG.nbh file and put it on your sdcard. Turn the phone off and boot it with camera+power. Select DREAIMG.nbh, let the phone do it's thing, and you're done. The nbh file contains the radio, spl, recovery, boot.img, and /system from RC29 and it automatically updates your phone. Easy to do or what?
EDIT: Only thing it doesn't change I think is the splash1 image, so fix that first if it says anything other then tmobile G1
I was 95% sure that was it, but I wanted to be absolutely positive. Because if I bricked being unsure, I would be sending in a phone not how I said it was when I got it replaced.. Then I would be looking at a $350 restock fee.
Thanks man, greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I have the default G1 screen, thanks! :]

[Q] Cannot install 2.2 on my g1 help me please

Hello,
i had android 1.6 on my g1 i tried to upgrade to 2.2 and i bricked it then i went to fix it by JTAG. then i am trying different ways to install roms but it never does.
sometimes it makes loop of restart
sometimes i install the radio and spl exactly as a post here says but at the end it says that setup cannot verify the update package!!!!
now i have r7 on my phone so can any one please to give me exact steps to do with exact files to install at least android 2.2 ? because i tried so hard follow many posts but it never work.
thank you for your help guys
Are you sure you have a non stock spl and radio. Most roms won't install if the spl isn't changed. I think it has to do with the size of the roms. The stock spl will only load up to 44 mb. (Or something like that) the new spl changes the partition to 90 (or somethin....)
I am sure most froyo roms are larger than the stock spl will allow. I would start by checkin what it says in your bootloader screen. With phone off hold the power and camera button and it should take you to the bootloader screen. Get your hboot and spl number and see if it is the danger spl or stock.

Did you root your G1 already?
