Hi. I flashes a signed-spl to my phone via update.zip, now the phone will not load in recovery, nor bootloader mode.
I have place a working .nbh (for BL mode)
and a working update.zip (for rec. mode) on my miniSD
if somebody could please assist me in getting this thing running again, that would be great. thanks!
I have exactly the same problem. Can anybody help?
Which spl did you flash......original, engineering, hard, or haykuro (danger)?
Please tell me you didn't flash the danger spl without installing the latest radio first....

Sounds like you got an expensive paperweight!
Time for a new phone
i flashed spl-signed
whatever that is.. my phone was giving me a android.process.aboot (OR SOMETHING LIEK THAT) with an option to force close it only. I figured the SPL would help this situation.

No offense big guy but just downloading and flashing something that you had no idea about probably wasn't the best idea. Where did you get this mysterious SPL from? Perhaps we can help you trace it that way. It sounds as though you bricked though since you have little to offer in the way of retracing your steps so we can help you. What guide did you follow, what radio did you have?
What made you figure that an SPL upgrade would fix your force close error? Did you research any of this?
Yea just like what DirectMatrix said "What would make you think the spl would solve a FC issue".

well i know that the SPLs allow installation of unfamiliar ROMs and allow them to work.. i did this before with a different one and it did the trick. that is why i repeated this process.
To be perfectly honest, this SPL was in my downloads folder and had worked before.. so i flashed it. I have attached the SPL so maybe somebody can check this out? I appolagize for my newbess and impulsiveness lol.
And i believe the radio was NOT v2 =[ i know thats bad..
THE ROM I FLASHED THIS ON TOP OF WAS JFV1.51_CRB43-ADP

The only SPL I have in my SPL folder that is that same file size is the haykuro danger SPL, so if you didn't update to the latest radio (2.22.19.26I) then I'm sorry to tell you, YOUR BRICKED!

Yea thats the same spl I have on my pc that is the "danger" spl. Yep if you flashed that without having the newest radio then you are bricked my friend. And spl has nothing to do with allowing installation of unfamiliar roms. What that spl does is free up more space on our phones to be able to install the hero roms which are larger.
The md5sum of the SPL you posted is the same as Haykuro's danger SPL. What's quite worrying is that you had a 1.5 ROM but not the 1.5 radio, if you had the new radio you would not have bricked. I wouldn't be surprised if you had a few dropped calls on 1.5 ;-P You didn't read, flashed something you didn't know about and bricked. My sympathy for you = nil.
new thread idea
I was thinking on my drive home, maybe we should just start a thread titled
TO EVERYONE: FLASH THE RADIO BEFORE YOU FLASH THE DANGER SPL FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME!!!!!!
Just start the thread, have it stickied, and have it closed before anyone can post anything in it. Then people wouldn't even have to open a thread, they can just navigate to a forum and have it slap them in the face. Then of course the next logical step is just to start a forum with the same title, then all they have to do is get to the website.....the sad part is people will still brick..
My sympathy for Mr/Mrs. oraeanast ended quickly when I read:
i flashed spl-signed

awesome. im aware i ****ed it up but people telling me i ****ed up over and over doesn't really help either.
If anybody has ANY clue or discovers any where to reverse this.. or maybe force the phone into fastboot from the computer that'd be great

Dude, you gotta calm down a little and try to understand where we're coming from. MODS, I know this is off topic but I feel I have to get this off my chest...>big breath<
[RANT]There are literally hundreds of places within this forum that tell you to flash the radio before the SPL. There are notes and warnings all over the ROM threads, there are hundreds, maybe thousands of posts regarding:
n00b: "I think I bricked"
person trying to help: "can you get into recovery"
n00b: "no, I was trying to flash the new SPL so I could get Hero"
person trying to help: "did you install the radio first"
n00b: "oh no, what's that"
Not to mention you, yourself, mention in your first few posts that you didn't know what it was, you just figured you'd flash it because you thought it would help with some kind of force close. When you do something like that, n00b or not, you are gonna take some flaming from the forum. Sorry this is just how these things work. There are thousands of people on these forums that spend weeks reading before they do anything to their phone, and there are just as many who read for 20 minutes and just start doing things. The very nature of a open forum of this type makes it difficult to have organized data. Everyone seems to understand that but some are unwilling to put in the time necessary to gather all the proper resources and data. Unfortunately, you seem like one of these poor people.[/RANT]
My only comfort to you now is go here and give your phone a proper burial....

My sentiments exactly... You've BRICKED your phone, not had a small glitch that we can fix. Its called brick for a reason because your phone is now only useful as a BRICK! Its not reversible at this time, nor would I suspect it to be reversible in the near future. Next time, read, read, read, read, read... and then read some more before you try to flash some mystery signed-spl.zip that you found on your computer...
yea i made the same mistake a few months back your fones at a better place now...No more updates, no more wipes or backups just ~peace~
would like to thank DirectMatrix for directing him to my **Obituaries** thread
-Plays taps
So I've been running Cyanogen's latest for quite a while now, with no problems that aren't systematic to whatever version he's just come out with. I decided to try something else just for fun, so I tried flashing JAC's and Drizzy's Hero ROMs. And yes, I flashed the correct radio and spl prior to the ROM flash.
For some reason, neither will work. They both come up with some kind of error at a certain line, either 80 or 59, I believe. So, I restore my backup to Cyanogen, and I'm back in business no problem.
Anyone care to hazard a guess as to what's going on? Thanks.

I had that issue before. Here is what I did:
Wipe + repartition(dont forget you need 3)
reupdate SPL -> used the OTA, the the hardSPL
that worked for me, give it a try and good luck
Yeah I would just say wipe everything, make sure you use parted to split your sdcard which should be class6 into fat32/ext2or3/linux-swap.
You need Haykuro's special SPL. If you don't have it you will get that error every time.

I'm sure he's mistaken.
And to the OP can you tell us what spl you have (cam + power).
Here's what it says:
DREA100 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-1.22.12.29
Sep 2 2008
I assumed the HBOOT to refer to the SPL, which obviously isn't correct. So, I reflashed the SPL.
I think I did a bad thing. Phone won't boot to anything past the initial G1 screen. I thought this was only an issue if I had the incorrect radio. Thoughts?

I hate to break the news to you but that is not the correct radio...the newest radio is 2.22.19.26I
Looks like its time to call TMO and put on your lying cap...
Also just because it says HBOOT does not mean that it is Haykuros SPL. THe special SPL is 1.33.2005

Diceman4 with your slightly faster connection
but basically tell them your got an update or something, and that when the phone rebooted that it would not pass the g1 screen. also make sure you sound as clueless as to what root or flashing or anything technical is.
Ok, before this was a problem, I downloaded and flashed the radio, then the SPL. Clearly, they didn't take for some reason.
Now, my question is this: what do I do now? I'm looking in the bricked phone threads, but I haven't found an answer yet. Any help? Thanks.

I wouldnt even say you got an update, I would just say that the phone restarted on its own one day and then just froze at the G1 screen. Be sure to not use any terms like "flash" "bricked" "boot loop" or anything that makes it look like you know anything at all about phone hacking. David is right just make yourself sound as clueless as possible.

There is no way to fix it, the board needs to be replaced. You need to call t-mobile, follow mine and David's instructions and try to get a new one under warrantee

i assume you have a cyanogen recovery image with the trackball feature? if so, for the radio and spl flashes you have to do the keyboard commands to make it work, you can't use the trackball or recovery console to reboot. so you can't boot into recovery or bootloader? if you can't, you have a brick

You know that you can't install hero with hard spl right? For someone who has a site dedicated to Android you don't seem to have your **** straight - no offense. And he could have bricked his phone if he tried to do H's danger spl without having the correct radio. Be careful when you give advice, we don't need to HELP people brick there G1's.
Haha, that's what I get for assuming he had the right spl and radio when he said he did. But if you are getting G1 screen you aren't bricked, if you can get into bootloader(camera+power) you should be able to flash your way back in time then forward again. I guess it doesn't matter if you're already getting it replaced but I got my friends back when his was only loading to G1, a true brick wont turn on at all no matter what you press.

Check the brick threads and you will see that just cause you have the G1 screen doesn't mean you don't have a brick. Flashing the SPL before the Radio will brick your G1 and you will be stuck at the loading screen. That is really the only true bricks we are aware of yet, maybe your friend found another way to brick but if you do some studying you will see what I'm talking about.
I just rooted and install the Cyanogen 4.0.3.1 and wondering where to go from here... I'm a noob at this and am just following tutorials and learning more here at XDA forums. I got today a 4GB class 4 SD card for apps2SD, and going to try to get it working by folowing some tutorials on here. What do I need to update to the Rosie/hero UI?
2.22.19.26I radio, 1.33.2005 SPL (Haykuro's), PVT board (check in bootloader, power and camera) time to read up on procedure, a card reader.... think that is about it? also the rom you want to flash needs to be on your sdcard because the new spl will wipe your phone.
Make sure that you flash the radio first before the spl or you have a high chance of bricking your phone<a brick is when you cannot get into recovery or the bootloader, before you ask, if you can get into either one than you are not bricked>
Im still a bit confused on what to do. I know where to get the radio and the SPL, but what is PVT? and where could I get that and also dont know where to get the ROM for the Rosie/hero UI
to check if you have pvt, turn off the device then hold down power and camera button. It will say on top pvt 32B
why do you want to do something that could brick your phone when do not even know where to get a hero rom...

Could you explain a little better? So your phone is a UK G1, with 1.33.2005 SPL and you were running a Cyanogen Mod ROM, and then something weird happened?
If you're on 1.33.2005 SPL then it's a good thing your phone didn't take the NBH, your phone would have bricked. 1.33.2005 requires the 26i radio which gets downraded when reverting to RC7.

Its safe to Downgrade with the RC29 image as it replaces the radio AND the spl
Can you provide more details on the issue? How it happened/what you were doing?
one problem to another
Right, I've wiped my phone, formatted the sdcard so that all is on it is the files needed to update to cm!
The phone is running perfectly like a stock handset, but it won't let me root, when I type into telnet the code to apply the cm recovery image I get an mtd error, but it is still followed by the two ##
Have you tried using the root.apk app that helps to flash it? Search for it and maybe it can help you out
I just got a new phone because my old one's touchscreen broke, I tried to root it and it wasn't working...so i installed the danger spl cause i figured it'd let me install fasttest3.0.

Look on the bright side, with 2 bricks you have the beginnings of a nice wall.
Presumably, the one with the broken touchscreen has a good mainboard, right?
I think you can guess where I'm going with this, right?
If you didn't turn the old one in, that is. Swap boards and you should be good.
Ha, I raped t-mobile for a free replacement. Hoooooly that was a joke. Too bad I have to wait 4 days for a new one.
Do you know what board is your phone? PVT or DVT?
What radio were you on when you flashed the Danger SPL?
What steps did you take when you flashed the Danger SPL?
You said you tried to root your phone and it didn't work. What exactly did you do to root your phone?
lbcoder and I were having a discussion in another thread whether the Danger SPL is safe to flash and you could possibly be our answer.

I'm thinking since he got the phone from T-Mo that it was a refurb and I'm assuming when they refurb phones they set them back to stock and when you boot it you receive the latest updates. Im going to guess that he did not update the radio before flashing but how could he even flash the SPL with out having root in the first place? Hopefully he answers your question.
