Hey,
i recently had the oportunity to use the so called "1clickroot" App "flashrec" on a stock T-Mobile G1 from Germany. So now i have a nandroid backup of the OTA T-Mobile CRC37 Rom.
When i rooted my G1 i used the "Goldcard" method flashing the DRAMIMG.nbh file. Now i have a G1 with german hard-keyboard layout but with the american SPL, so without the äöü and qwerty instead of qwertz.
I planed to work out a HowTo to revert from a rooted continental european G1 back to the Stock Version including the SPL.
I am now looking for a way to dump some how the SPL of a stock german G1 and flash it back to my Device.
Maybe somebody knows a way to do this or has a update.zip including the german stock SPL.
Thanks!

I'm confused about what you want to do. The SPL has nothing to do with the keyboard layout, it will also be everwritten when reflashing the shipping ROM.
Hey,
i already tried to apply the backuped ROM from the stock Device using cyanogens recovery img. But after starting up the ROM and setting up german interface language the keyboardlayout was still not the german one (y and z switched and no äöü and so on). I had to replace the /system/usr/keychars/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin to get the german keyboard layout. Where does the wrong keyboard layout come from? The dumped img works great on the device it came from with german layout and all the way it has to be.
I thought it has something to do with the SPL, because it's the only thing that ist still changed. Tell me the mistake i have in my understanding.
The G1OrigBootloader_nocheck.zip shold be still the original one from the device shipped in US, other hardkeyboardlayout i think. correct me if i'm wrong!
Thank you for for your hints!
As far as I know the DRAMIMG.nbh you used can change the SPL, Radio, & Rom. Nandroid dosent backup the Radio or SPL. I dont have any experiance with backup those, but I think the only way to do that is through ADB in fastboot, if anything. Updates, as you know, can be easily applied from the recovery boot.
_-_
If you want to do work, you can always extract it from the original german .nbh file. I not sure if its as easy as rezipping it to update.zip... thats over my head for now. Looks like I got some more research to do myself now lol.....
That's the point! There is no german *.nbh file out there as far as i know, so i can't use it. If it where, through goldcard there would be no problem to revert back to stock for german devices.
I am just wondering how i could go back to the stock SPL and how to get the german hard keyboard layout back without changing the trout file every time.
thx
Unless you find the SPL or .nbh file somewhere, your only other option is to find another G1 with the stock SPL, and extract it.
cyanogen mentioned something about this in at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4209412#post4209412
"I think you need to dump all of mtd6ro and extract radio/spl by hand if you need to. Nandroid doesn't touch either of them."
I havent finished reading through all the pages, but you might find out how to there. Im sure theres a thread somewhere, or you can pm cyanogen or another dev for instructions.

I've been toying with the idea of putting a cooked rom on my standard kaiser.
My question is if I do so and then decide I dont like the new rom for whatever reason, can I get a copy of the original stock 6.0 version from somewhere to re-install?
Thanks

you will not want to revert, make sure you choose a decent rom to flash, and you will be chuffed to bits,
First of all forgive me if this question as been asked a million times but to be honest I'm finding the Dream section a mess.
Now onto my question.... I've rooted my G1 and I'm currently running JF 1.51 with hero skin, now I'm I correct that I will always be rooted as long as I stick to custom roms?
The other thing is when I go into recovery mode I get a message at the top of the screen something like "Unable to find /system/command/recovery.cmd" am I correct that means I'm unable to proform backups? which is no big deal for me.
Finally whats the deal with this new spl, do I really need it to run a hero ported rom? I only ask because in all my years flashing windows phones the spl is something you should flash once and leave alone to avoid errors that can brick your phone.
Yes you will always be rooted. Not really sure on the recovery thing...You might want to try to fix that by flashing another recovery image. Yes you need the new spl to run the hero ROM since its HUGE

Thanks for the fast reply, as for the recovery thing like I said I would never back anything up and restore it anyway (I've always started afresh with every new rom)
Now going back to the spl thing.... Ive already updated my radio to the latest so when I do finally go for a hero rom and do flash my spl is the new spl a custom one which will allow me to reflash back down to a non-hero rom? or do I have to go back to the orginal hardspl first?
The new SPL was released by haykuro and it allows you to have about 30 more mb of space on your system partition. It still allows you to flash non-hero ROMs as well as hero ROMs. Sorry for the slow response >.>
Thanks alritewhadeva everything is clearer now.
Hi i have a htc dream and rooted/flashed it to tmobile g1 with a hero rom. Now i'm selling the phone and would like to revert it back to my default rom as in how it was when i brought the phone.
how should i do about it?
Thanks!
I am guessing sense you have a hero rom you have Haykuro's spl, if you need to revert back to the orginal rom just go over to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592662 , jonzina has the step's to follow, just follow to the T and you will be fine.
there is also a walkthrough at www.cyanogenmod.com in the wiki
pretty simple process. flash the rc29 dream.nbh and wait for an OTA update to get you up to date pretty much. just follow the steps in the wiki.
the problem is, mine is a singtel set, its not a t-mobile g1, its a htc dream though now it becomes g1 after rooting and rom. i want to revert back to before. can i still use the dream.nbh?
Just a heads up, if you have the 1.33.2005 SPL required for Hero ROMs and you use DREAIMG.NHB to downgrade, you will brick.
To avoid that:
1) Wipe then flash a ROM that does *not* require 1.33.2005, (eg Cyanogen Mod)
2) Flash the stock SPL as update.zip
i'm so confused now =/
edit:how do i check spl ver?
With the phone powered off, press and hold the camera button and power, which will bring you into bootloader mode...if you were running a hero rom, you should have 3 androids on skateboards at the bottom of the screen (1.33.2005 SPL)...if so, do what AdrianK said
ok! but i still can use the DREAIMG.NHB from t-mobile? as mine is the not the t-mobile set, mine is a singtel htc dream. able to use the same method?
Some people WANT custom roms on their phone and are scared to do it themselves. Im recommending Cyanogens rom because its so fast and stable. If I were you I would post it as is, that way it stands out from the 100+ other G1 sellers.
If you don't see the response you were looking for just update it and reinstall the stock one.... just my 2 cents.
haha..how you know i'm selling.. you are right maybe i should try what you suggested. anyway how do i change roms? my current hero rom is the my one and only one.. likey to be out dated and laggy. last time follow guide to root and flash, what about updating? just dl rom and flash? haha

This kinda gave it away.. lol. I also had a hero rom and hated it because it was soooo slow. Just follow the directions here and it will boot up and work 100%

Might wanna use 4.2.5. ROM at the moment though, users have been posting issues on the newest version, go here: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/download/rom/update-cm-4.2.5-signed.zip
wahahaha..so sorry.. didn't remember i mention before..ahahaha.. ok ok thanks! yeah my hero rom is abit laggy how bout those released now? any idea how to revert back to my singtel htc dream rom incase they prefer it that way?
thanks for your advise! sold my phone with cyanogen
Nice!!! Im glad I was able to help... get another G1 or other android phone.
We have THE BEST community and customization out of any other platform or company! Trust me...
I have 2 G1's and I think it's the best phone ever
But I have to sell 1, so I put it online and tonight a person will come and buy it.
Problem is: I need to unroot it, and restore to the original Firmware.
How can I do this?
Also, before I downloaded and applied a newer radio version. Do I need to revert to a certain radio version that came with the original G1?? Or does it not matter?
I never changed the SPL or something, only rooted (goldcard method)+enomther Rom.
Please tell me which files I need, I will be extremely grateful!
My proposed method is: download an original, unrooted G1 firmware, and apply that through the recovery menu. Also Format the memory card, do a complete wipe and factory restore and afterwards; reboot again.
will that be sufficient?
I cannot have the person returning the phone because it is crashing like a motherf-...
Those steps should work just fine.
The phone will probably still have root, but if the customer doesn't need it, they'll never notice.
Lol. Man. Through Recovery? That should work just fine?

There, man. I helped you get up, and I trust you can walk by yourself.
Oh, no you're not going to do this through recovery and no you won't have root anymore.
well mate i got a UK t-mobile G1 and this method work for me like every time....
1st download the original rc7 for uk model and rc29 for usa model..
then go there and manually update ur G1
http://code.google.com/p/official-android-firmware/downloads/list
It did not work as planned, obviously.
You need a goldcard even to unroot it, else it will not let you flash back the original.
But anyway, I flashed back enomthers' the official rom, without any add-on pack. Worked perfectly except for missing dutch onscreen keyboard word-completion/dictionary. But yeah, the person said he did not need that.
I told him I can flash the original back if he wanted to.
Anyway, sold it for 135 euro. Got it originally for 100 euros
Hey guys, I have an old rooted G1 (FW 1.6, CM Mod 4.2.11.1) and I need to get it back to Vanilla like today in order to sell it to my friend tomorrow before he buys from someone else. I use my N1 now and it's not rooted so I forgot how to do things on my G1 and stuff, mod-wise. So can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to get my G1 back to normal? I also want to wipe it so none of my information and stuff remains, just as if it were brand new.
Thanks!

I've never done it, but I would guess you would need a stock rom.
Try this link, and maybe the unlockr.com
http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/Unroot
Be sure to read the comments because some people had problems. It's a bit ominous that there is a link to unbrick your phone.

You can flash the dreamimg.nbh to the g1 to bring it back on to stock and it will remove every setting on it. It will be like a new phone from factory. It will be on Android 1.1, but the OTA will hit soon to upgrade it to 1.6.
Here is the thread..Unroot Phone
DO NOT write any stupid NBH files.
Ensure that the SPL is version 1.33.2003 and the RADIO is version 2.22.23.02.
If not, write them using FASTBOOT. If the current SPL is a 0.95 version, first write the 1.33.2003 SPL via RECOVERY, then fastboot flash the radio.
Next: Go to developer.htc.com/adp.html and download the recovery image. Write it from recovery.
Wipe userdata and cache.
This will leave the phone is a STOCK/OEM condition with root available to ADVANCED users, and with a full proper engineering bootloader which will only be noticed by advanced users. No sense being a jackass and locking the thing out from the buyer.
Thanks guys.
What do you mean by "do not write any NBH" files. Will the link that G1Sanju posted work lbcoder? I remember back then we would have flash the old .nbh and make sure the Radio (and SPL?) were the same? And what exactly do you mean by write?

Hey, Thanks man...I never thought of this one....Ya this will also achieve the purpose, We flashed this recovery for CM4...but there were some issues regarding T-mobile specific applications as the model number was for dev phone rather then T-Mobile G1, I don't know how its right now..
Hmm, so what shall I do then?
Btw, the spacebar on the keyboard only works like half the time. I don't even know why.. so entering commands in the Terminal or whatever would be kind of difficult. Would I need to do that? haha
