spl update problem

hi i was able to do the hero update once before, but now im back to jf1.51
now i want to go back to hero and everytime i try to update the spl i get stuck in fastboot mode and i have to start all over again starting with rc29
i've tried wiping first and i've tried not wipping, everybody says its suppose to get stuck on g1 screen and then do the hero update, but mine always gets stuck on fastboot...but remember i was succesful the very first time i did all this! I am very frustrated please help!!!

Read my man. Read.
Not trying to be a a$$ but you need to find the Hero build you're wanting to put on and read the very first page of the thread. It will tell you all you need to do to flash the ROM.
I will say that you will most likely need the lastest radio, SPL and it wouldn't hurt to get Cyanogen's 1.4 recovery image.
All of these are readily available probably in the first three pages in the dev section.

trust me i've done all of those things you said i got all the latest updates, like i said i did it before, but now its not letting me, i have read read read....believe me im not retarted, i had it working once before, now ill tell u again after updating the new radio it says to rebbot so i do...then it takes me back to the recovery screen and at the bottom it says "formatting cache..." so i reboot again as im told to do and then the only screen i can get up is the fastboot loader. but if i try to install the new rom before i reboot the second time it takes me to the htc logo but loops!?!

Are you flashing Drizzy's Hero? If so, did you do your wipes and reformat your ext3?

Ya first I put jac2.63 on it that's when it worked I also didn't have my sd partioned at the time. So then later I partioned it into the 3 ones required when I went to try to hero back on and I was trying to put drizzy 1.7 on it. I heard that the rom litterally goes on the sdcard is this true. What goes on the ext3 partion??? Should I redo the partioning part

hello please someone help i am scared to try flashing again cause i had to go back to rc29 about 6 times, please read everthing i posted earlier to better understand my problem

plz help - Rom install - Failure at line.. Install aborted

I rooted my G1 last night and have yet been able to load a Rom on it.
my radio is 2.22.19261
and I do not know how to check what my spl is. also when I try to install the newest spl to make sure I have it Im not sure how to install it since when I boot up pressing home and power it goes to RA-dream-v1.5.2. not sure how to do the update from here.
The 3 Roms I have tried so far are:
-FastTest2.4.1
-SuperD193-blk-WGKv3beta
-MLIGN-HeroV3.3
fasttest and superD get failure at line 59
MLIGN-Hero gets failure at line 80
So is there something I'm missing somewhere and if its the spl can someone point me in the right direction to update it??
Im still researching, but a lil help would be apprieciated and amazing

It shows the SPL version in your first screenshot. The SPL you need to load the roms you listed is in my signature.
You should be able to flash the SPL without problems because you meet the radio requirement already.

thanks.. I was just logging in to say I already got it figured out..
I thought I still had to rename the spl as update and then get the phone to boot to it wick i couldnt figure out how to do after I rooted it.
I booting it to recovery and then choose to Flash zip from sdcard.. choosing the spl I loaded on the sdcard
Works great now.. im testing out FastTest2.4.1 right now
Thanks again

I'm going to be nice this time but next time make sure you read on how to root your phone and install either HardSPL or EngSPL. Do not flash Haykuro's/Death/Danger because you'll likely brick your phone (since your first post has such an obvious answer)

Please Please someone help me! tmobile uk g1

Hi all,
I’m in desperate need of some of your wealth of experience, i have managed to root and flash my g1 with - rc9 JFv1.51_CRB43-EU.zip (Jesus freke), and recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2.img recovery image!. Now i want to update to a newer rom!
Now for the problem, the recovery program allows me to flash many of the rom's available but none of them work after the flash completes it just loads the g1 screen and stops there i have left it on that screen for about 10 min’s and nothing at all happens, but then it will allow me to flash back to rc9 JFv1.51_CRB43-EU.zip absolutely fine no issues every time?. Do i need to install anything else before updating to Open Eclare 2.1.1 or SuperD1103-blk.? I’m in the UK with a UK g1 mobile if that makes a difference?

Just use the top three wipes available in Anon's recovery menu: Wipe System/Data (1st), Davilk Cache (2nd), Ext Partition (3rd). If you haven't partitioned your SD card into FAT32, Ext2, 3, or 4 and Linux-Swap, do so now with the Recovery menu. You must backup your fat32 first, because a total repartition will totally blank your data. Good luck!

Make sure you partition your sd card and then try like the above said....or maybe try flashing death spl.

This is YOUR FAULT for NOT READING!!!!
You installed an SPL meant for an HTC MAGIC onto your HTC DREAM. It *CAN* be made to work, HOWEVER, you failed to read and understand what is required to actually do it safely.
SPECIFICALLY, you are stuck in boot mode 3 -- boot to recovery, and because you changed the SPL, your recovery partition is UNABLE TO BOOT.
You are BRICKED, and the only way out is to use a hardware interface called "JTAG", which requires you to disassemble the phone.
SPECIFICALLY:
You missed the part of that thread that says "MOD EDIT PLEASE READ THIS THREAD FOR UP TO DATE INFORMATION".
I have no sympathy for you. That instruction is in big purple letters.

hi thanks for your info, do you know anyone or anywhere i can get my phone jtagged?

How could you mess it up with step by step instructions....lol...I am being dead serious....it doesn't get more clear than this.
IMPORTANT: Before going any further make sure that you have PVT board. You can do this by rebooting your phone and holding the camera button. The first line should say "PVT" if you see "DVT" then DO NOT flash this because odds are you will get a brick but If it says "PVT" then you are good to go.
First you are going to need to download the latest radio and the SPL. both can be found here http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/ There is also a new radio that is compatible that can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640535
Prior to starting the installation process please make sure that your battery has a good charge. Also DO NOT pull your battery out at anytime during the installation process. I know it seems like common sense but I read a thread where someone had pulled their battery in the middle of the installation process and they ended up with a brick.
Now that all that's out of the way lets get started!
1. Copy "ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip" or "G1-radio-2_22_23_02.zip" and "spl-signed.zip" onto the root of your SD card.
2. Reboot into recovery. I suggest using the RA-dream recovery you can download it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669
3. Wipe your phone "factory data reset" (this step isnt really necessary since your phone is wiped after flashing the SPL but I always like to wipe before flashing anything)
DO NOT SKIP THIS NEXT STEP OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE
You must have the latest radio "2_22_19_26I" or "2_22_23_02" to flash this SPL if you already have the latest radio you should not have to flash it again but it will not hurt if you do flash it again. When in doubt flash it anyway.
4. Flash the Radio "ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip" or "G1-radio-2_22_23_02.zip" it will install and then it will ask you to reboot to finish the installation, so reboot, it will then finish installing and then reboot back into recovery.
5. Flash the SPL "spl-signed.zip" it will install and then ask you to reboot to finish the installation, so reboot, it will then finish installing and reboot into recovery so you can flash your ROM

i cant get in to fast boot or recovery i just get the g1 screen, if i press camera and power or if i press home and power i just get the g1 nothing else

Did you follow those steps when flashing the SPL? Did you even flash the radio before flashing the SPL?
It sounds like you have no idea what you did to your phone which is never a good sign (and usually means you shouldn't even be flashing custom radios/spl's/roms)

no i did not, i was asking for help for the last 2 or 3 days? i did what i thought was right but it was not. can i fix it or not?

heres what you do

Sigh....I would go buy another phone off Craigslist or something similar.
Next time...please read before flashing....Although I'm sure you will after the last mishap.

the only way to fix your phone is to buy a doner phone with a broken screen or something cheap off of ebay
there is NO KNOWN WAY to fix it without a doner (the jtag method isnt do-able yet)

I know here in town...there are so many G1's up for sale around the $150 mark in really really nice condition.
That's where I'd be looking if I bricked my G1. Well...I'd be replacing it with a HD2 probably...lol

have you got contact details for ezterry? if so pm me please.

as far as i can see the jtag is still in testing?

This noob is in the UK anyways. Let him figure it out.
Wrong section, soft bricked his own phone and freaking out.
Please READ. You are from the UK so your English isn't bad. You have no excuse for not following instructions.
Ways to fix your phone:
1) motherboard replacement
2) JTAG (experts are not anywhere near you though)
3) buy a new phone

G1 hanged at white screen!
Hi all,
I really need a help here. I have a G1 rooted with CM rom ver5. it was working fine since 3 months but suddenly now the phone doesnt boots up, it goes to white screen with 3 droid skaters and highlight on Hboot. It is freezed then and nothing can be done. I removed battery and tried booting by home + power ; camera+power etc etc . nothing happens it goes to that screen only. i have amons recovery and also nand backups in sd card. but the system doesnt let me go any where!! Please help......

before flashing radio, spl, rom...anything...u need to check out the warnings and compatibility-MUST!!!!
there are 32B and 32A devices...both have different stuffs for themselves....which can be bricked if u dont follow the guidelines and try to act in sort of a haste to accomplish something new!!!
for those who can get to the camera+power (hboot) screen, but cant do anything else...u need to format ur sdcard...FAT32...then download dreaimg.nbh file...keep it in the root of ur sdcard...
then boot into the hboot menu, and ur phone should read the dreaimg.nbh file and prompt u to take an action(flash it)....do that and it'll get ur phone to the stock rom thingy....
then later u gotta root ur device again(telnet, great)....then install amon ra's recovery...change radio and what not and play again....
u gotta be patient...that's the only thing!!!
check this too
