I searched around the forums (LOVE THEM!) and couldnt find the answer so I figured it was okay to ask the question
The notification light on my G1 never turns off, it's always set to show the battery status instead of blinking with a missed call/txt/whatever
ideas?
please post your current ROM, Recovery, SPL, Radio, whether or not you use apps2sd...and anything else that we may need to know to diagnose your problem. Thanks...

SPL: Hard SPL
Radio: ... I havent touched this? Im not evne too sure what it is, so im assuming default/stock ota? how do I check

if you dont know... you should update to the 26I radio
it can be found in the bootloader (cam+power)
for the us g1, last two digits are usually 29 or 26. (26 is the latest)
you can also find this info in the about phone section in settings under baseband
if its happening on the stock rom too, its probably a hardware issue. you wouldnt happen to have any apps that would mess with this setting, would you?

yup I had the 26... what exactly is the radio?
but yea, It happens all the time when im flashing, when im in the spl... whenever
the radio manages all the wireless stuff in the phone such as the phone itself, bluetooth, wifi..etc
it also calls the spl, which loads the whole phone up
if its happening all the time, its a hardware issue and you should contact tmobile and see if they replace it. if so, unroot your phone before sending it in
im thinking this has to be some sort of software issue because it works for battery/charging/whatever... and apps can have their notification pop up over the steady green light
well then its an app. go back to complete stock and see if the problem persists. remove all your applications, and go to the stock RC29 image, update to 1.6 OTA and see if it still happens.....
does the light stay on in the recovery (Home+power) or bootloader mode (cam+power) when your phone is not charging? if it does.....its a hardware problem

I want to put a new ROM on my fresh ADP. Do I need to put a new radio on before I update to HardSPL?
This thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
seems to suggest I might need to, but this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455860
doesnt mention it.
How can I find out, or is there a simple yes / no ?
Thanks.
If it is hardspl then no you don't need the new radio. If its the new danger spl then yes. But it is a good idea to update your radio anyways.
Thanks.
danger SPL sounds like i might want to leave it alone...
If I was going to update the radio anyway then is the one in the linked noobs guide above the one? Or are there options? Ive had a dig and although its easy to find the SPLs and Roms and other guides, I havent seen much about radios.
flash the radio http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip
without flashing a new radio then bluetooth will not work in then new rom
Thanks for the help everyone. Thats awesome.
er.... is there a way to check if it worked and what radio it's using? It seemed to be so quick I'm not sure if it can have been right?
It only showed the unpacking animation with the open box and the status bar for like a quarter of a second... and then it went back to the triangle with the exclamation mark in it.
I did Home + back to reboot and its loaded up fine all working. But no clue if it did anything...
To check is real easy,
Look under settings> About phone>
It is listed in the Baseband Version. If it ends in 26I you are all good.
Yea its a small file so it won't take long at all to flash. Sounds like it worked.
Thanks guys.
I used the radio marked as most recent:
ota-radio-2_22_19_26I
Baseband version on my phone says:
62.33.20.08H_1.22.12.29
Doesnt end in 26I... Just spotted that radio is shown in fastboot screen and it lists the old one as well.
Odd.
Wierd, It is a small file and shouldn't take long to flash.
You are definitly on the old radio still.
After you update it should tell you to push a key combination to apply the radio.
Turns out my update.zip was called update.zip.zip ... oops. So it hadnt done anything.
Fixed that and the radio update took a few secs and is working fine. Its listed correctly now as you said it would be in the settings / about screen.
Thanks again for the help folks.
No problem. Might want to show extensions on your pc so it don't happen again.
Good Morning all,
Hope everyone is well. I realise that I am probably repeating a post somewhere and apologise profusely for that.
However my request is quite urgent. I have my phone flashed with Dutty's 4.1 using the step by step guide to update radio and ROM etc etc.
My touchscreen has now started playing silly buggars and as such tomorrow it gets picked up by UPS UK to disappear off to be looked at. Obviously I do not think they will take it to well if it still has duttys on there
So just so I make sure I get eveything right.... can someone just drop me a link to the correct files for a stock flash back to the way things should be.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you

To add an update, the boot loader screen shows:
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.56.OliNex
Micro-Blackstone (LED) v6
Thought this might help in finding out how much work to stock?
I Think u need the original rom... or a htc one from the website?? ... can it not be downloaded from the htc website?? i may be wrong
I do but also need to make sure I do an original spl and radio as well
first off go to htc.com and download the romupgrade thats on that side (ive non is on the side check the wiki for youre countryrom)
then flash that one and se ive radio comes with it
ive not flash radio 13.**.**.**
then from the hard spl thread there a tut how t make youre spl stock again and youre finished
This is the last official ROM with 1.56 spl and 1.13 radio

Ok, thanks for all your assistance. Just qiuck one, Once I have done all this how can I check it has all worked. Obviously the boot loader shows the SPL, and the ROM is whatever installed. Where will it display the current radio so I can check that too?

At boot it shows, just restart your device and look at the red text in the bottom right corner, there it will show your current radio version.
Could also see it in device info when the device is on but dunno if you still can considering you need to return it.

Thanks to all help, radio is now reading stock as is the 1.56 spl all installed from latest ROM from HTC so also stock.
UPS collect tomorrow and with any luck they will return a working touchscreen and I can continue where I left off

I also have read a couple of these help requests and the same problem, but what could it be, is it the windows mobile 6.5 builds that are doing this (not blaming the chef's in anyway), or some conflict with the spl... have to investigate this more...

Hi, can someone (Admin) change the title of this thread from Returning to Stock for repair! to Having screen problems after changing the rom?
I think the first is solved and now we have this new problem in hand.
best regards
+1
i've had the problem with a cooked french rom (Pyrana V17C). My screen started to freeze for a few seconds. During that time, when I put the finger on the screen and slide, the screen follows the move but it comes back to where it first was, ant the move is finally not taken in consideration ... it looks like the screen is an elastic...
So it did it sometimes and it lasted a few seconds first, and then, a couple af days later, it was more often, and I had to soft reset everytime, and yesterday, I finally had to hard reset to take back the hand, and the bug came back more quickly. So I installed the latest release of this rom this morning and everything seems to be stable since a couple of hour. If it comes back I'll try another rom, but if someone can find a way to set this, that would be perfect ...

Hello, it's been a while since I've stepped into XDA, busy with school and all
So I recently broke my G1, and thanks to insurance, I had it replaced. I quickly went to root it and apply Haykuro's Danger SPL as I did last time to my older G1. However, something happened. I don't recall what, but I remember it not being pretty.
I haven't had MMS since. Come to think of it, I don't think I did even on my last G1. Either way, I think it's due to how the Danger SPL flashed onto my phone. I want to know how I can downgrade to one that's a little more "stable" and get a better radio to see if it's that that's causing the problems. What do you guys think?
There's nothing unstable about the danger spl and it couldn't cause a problem like this. The 26i radio is also the most current and 'best' for the g1, so no point changing. It's more likely a phone configuration or network issue.. you'd be better off speaking to your provider and making sure your settings are right.
Are your MMS settings proper?

I've already spoken to T-Mobile on several occassions. They've done everything from remote access the phone to resetting the network as a whole in my area...nothing. I'm theorizing that it's the SPL because it didn't install pretty and I think perhaps it took MMS down with it.

I don't think that's possible. Once the spl boots the kernel, It doesn't have any further role to play.. I can't imagine any scenario in which it could affect high-level functionality like that. If it'd somehow messed up your internal partitioning, I doubt you could've flashed a rom in the first place, so I really don't think the spl is to blame.
Anyway.. if you want to try it, you can just flash the engineering spl or hardspl through recovery, you don't have to do anything special that way round. Be aware its going to wipe your rom out though so have a copy on the sd ready to flash.

Okay, thanks for the details on the role of the SPL, it helps a lot. What about re-flashing the radio?

You could try it but it sounds like a software config issue to me.. a corrupt radio would cause a lot more problems than failing mms. just make sure you use haykuro's 26i radio if that's the spl you're using.
You can try reflashing the radio as goldenamrz said...for some unknown reason, the radio seems to be affected after many flashes (ive personally never had any problems but i know it happens)
I'm curious what the result of this was. It sounds to me like this is a good way to brick a phone; I didn't think you could revert to a previous SPL after flashing the DangerSPL. Flashing radios willie nilly seems like that could also spell heartache.
From DangerSPL to HardSPL
I just reverted from DangerSPL to HardSPL with no fuss. Placed the HardSPL as update.zip in the sdcard, run the update, restart.
When it rebooted, i had the HardSPL and my rom almost intact. When you go from Hard to Danger, you need to add the rom again, as the installation does a wipe too. But from Danger to Hard it doesn't. So the phone booted straight away.
However, it had some issues, like lost wifi stored info and the home and call keys were unresponsive. So i used nano and a backup and i was up and running at no time.
The issue i had with receiving but not sending MMS was not solved by reverting to HardSPL. Settings are correct, tried with CyanogenMod and AOSP2.4 With Camera, nothing.. unresolved. I'll wait for next Cyanogen release and if nothing, i'll wipe and reinstall cyanogen from scratch..
edit. problem solved: type "default" at the apn type for DATA (not mms). Apparently, it is needed for the mms to ignore that apn and go for the one that has "mms" as an apn type
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)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
ok here's what i did. downgraded a new phone to rc29. applied amon's latest recovery. flashed latest radio (2.22.23.2). flashed danger spl. haven't even had the choice of putting a rom on it yet. after this reboot screen will only go to g1 screen. will not go into recovery. will not go into fastboot. did i just brick this phone, possibly by using the latest radio?
That is a possible brick my friend. RC29 does not like newer radio's. If you can't boot into recovery or fastboot, then your SOL. See if the phone is recognized by your computer when you plug it in, I remember reading somewhere that you might be able to bring it back if it does, but I can't confirm.
yeah, that's what i figured. no good on the pc. sonofabitch. didn't even think about it when i put the new radio on there. on the other hand maybe i'll give it king. lol!
If it's new why don't you return it and say it just stopped working or something like the OTA update crashed it?
actually gonna try that with tmoblile. didn't buy it new though. wish me luck!
You will need it...because if you didn't buy it from t-mobile then they aren't going to honor the warranty.
....you said you installed radio and then spl....the only thing is....you should have used the radio that was on the same dl page as the death spl...not the newer radio.
Here is the link.
Follow the procedure as its written and then update the radio to the newest one is how I would have done it (or anyone wanting to play it safe). Since you wanted to skip that one step and go to the newest radio immediately, that might have caused your issues...
I wouldn't say its a brick just yet, I would see if anyone knows about the latest radio and flashing the spl on top of it. We already know you can flash the new radio on top of the old radio / death spl already flashed.
