Problem Flashing - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am currently trying to place the cyanogen rom onto my Dream but I am having trouble downgrading to RC7 (Europe phone, for Australia).
I downloaded the DREAIMG.nbh, wiped my phone, attempted to flash the nbh.
Everytime (yes I have made sure it's named as DREAIMG.nbh) I try to flash it, I get the error "no allow" with the numbers 0028002 at the top of the screen, then the screen returns to the first screen of the bootloader.
If this help, on the bootloader it has:
Code:
DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.261
Sep 2 2008
Then in the Green section of the RGB it says "Serial0"
This phone is still stock and I have not changed the firmware whatsoever. (1.5) (CRC28)
Thanks, Blake.

First off this is not Q&A the idiocy of some of the members on this site surprise me. Second off from the little i know i believe that DREAIMG.nbh is for USA version. Which is why it probably is not working. I may be wrong but i really dont care about your problem.

So you are saying I am allowed to find a well-knowledged forum and not ask for help? Accusing me for something unproven?
I have spent the last two hours looking for my problem but still manage to find nothing. The guides here are not based on CRC28 so this has become more challenging.
As for the other reply, the nbh is all named the same, however there is a different version for US and EUR, I have tried both.
REV: I went over to Whirlpool forums and it seems that the goldcard method may be the only way for AUS.

I think that all they are trying to say is please post Questions, in the Q & A sub forum.

There are lots of experienced people in that are more than happy to help you resolve the issue.

Now that its been moved i'll try to help...
Did you root????? , cause you need root to do what you are trying , and i see you using the original SPL ....

I looked at the link in your signature but I can't even do the first step of flashing the DREAIMG... but from what I have read, australian dreams are different from the us and uk version and require using a goldcard. I will try the goldcard when I have access to my computer later on today

00028002 not allow in bootloader, help

I've ran in to a "not allow" situation by flashing a Singapore or maybe Australia rom.
It maybe caused by a "different CID" problem.
Anyway, my g1 almost bricked, every time it boots to the bootloader.
How can I save it? Need your help.

did you root your phone and install hard SPL, it is very difficult to fix stuff like this if we have no info, first thing i am going to suggest is to download the RC29.nbh from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
and try flashing that, put it on your FAT32 formatted SDcard and rename it DREAIMG.nbh, not DREAMIMG.nbh not dreaimg.nbh and not even dreamimg.nbh, the correct name is DREAIMG.nbh and see if that will flash to your phone.
it's a pretty simple process, read the entire first post and follow all instructions if you haven't already gone through the entire thing. and if you are feeling really ambitious try reading the entire thread.
have a nice day
My Phone is rooted, but I don't remenber whether my SPL's version.
I's sure that is not engeering SPL, and I didn't format my tf card.
I'm trying to use your RC29's nbh.
Thank you.
you seem to be having a lot of issues with your phone, i took a looksee in your previous posts and from what i could tell everytime you have a problem you post a new thread and someone comes in and saves you. not sure, but maybe you should buy a different phone, all 20 posts you have made were issues with your phone or giving more info about the issues.
when your phone boots what does the text say on the screen, and are there three androids on skateboards??? also you need to format the card, unless the card is formatted to FAT32 you will not be able to flash the nbh file to the phone. also where you doing an update.zip or were you trying to flash an nbh you found elsewhere? please give more details, if you were trying an nbh please tell me where you found it, i wanna make sure it was made for the G1 and not for a kaiser or universal
solved.
I can use RC29.
I think I need the hard spl next step
kdtlvybylg,fmjgyngvjy
that was me pounding my head on the keyboard. you did not root your phone if you did not apply the HARDSPL, people need to learn to read, this is not directly at you, though it is a little, but come on you people mess up your phones because you didn't read anything, you didn't search, you just tried to go straight to something that you knew nothing about. personally before i do anything to my phone i do at least 2 hours of research before trying it. maybe it's because i would hate to screw up my phone because i don't have internet to get the answers if i screw up the phone, but seriously if you don't ever read then how do you expect to learn anything.
start reading things cause people are gonna start being rude soon. i hate spoon feeding little girls
Yes I actually rooted my phone, long time ago, I also had it flashed some engeering spl and hard spl later.
But later, I tried some nbhs, maybe they overwritten my hard spl, which was modified not to check the CID.
And, I have to admit that, it's a little difficult for me to read posts in English.
Hi, I recently bought a 2nd hand HTC G1 and tried to flash it to RC29 but kept getting 00028002 not allow in the bootloader. Tried with RC7 as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
Was following the thread above to get root...
Made sure the renaming of the image was DREAIMG.nbh , formatted to FAT32, with 4096.
The details are as follows on the bootloader screen after "not allow"
DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-1.22.14.11
Sep 2 2008
Serial0
Did I do anything wrong?
Maybe you should try creating a goldcard (SD card) and then you could be able to flash needed rom, you should also check what ver. of the g1 do you have if other than UK/US this will solve the "not allow" problem.
PEOPLE, READ!
A simple google search would help you with the error -.-
I tried but there no useful page.
If you know the link, please post it!
Good Christ.
With the same amount of work you could have helped me.

OK.
In the meantime I've tried the "goldcard" stuff with no luck:

But now I don't have the "not allowed" screen.
Mine is a Dutch G1:

I've choosen the RC7 firmware image.
After the restart with camera+power I get the colored stripes with the boot loader and nothing more.
WIth green+menu+red I can reboot the phone which will still be CRC1 and won't start the telnet server.
What'd be next?
(If any info is missing, please let me know).
Thanks for the patience ;-)

Woah 32B refers to Us mytouch/G1, 32A refers to Magic.Why do you have that radio on a stock G1? Do you already have it rooted? Goldcard it not for a G1, you can brick by flashing the wrong thing. There are many guides and even a nicely dont vid done at unlockr.com that has the the G1 steps for you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566717
32B refers to the BOARD in the phone. 32B is found in the G1 and the myTouch (which is a Magic)
The 32A is basically (not really but just for simplicities sake) a 32B with 288mb of RAM vs. 192mb. The HTC branded Magic has the 32A board.
The 26I radio is standard for phones that ship with 1.5 donut and above.
If you have a German G1, you need to use the Goldcard method along with the RC7 DREAIMG.nbh file.
Please give us more info on how you did the goldcard method. Do not listen to Ace, he doesn't even know what a Goldcard is.
Ace.....you really have no idea what your talking about. Please learn something before giving wrong advice/false info to everyone.

like i said...you dont know what a goldcard is... its not an image you flash to your phone...its a specialized sdcard that allows you to unlock your card to flash the RC7 DREAIMG.nbh image (RC7 because hes non-US)
goldcard is not just for sapphire but for virtually 90% of phones out there based on device manufacturers. from the xda wiki
A Gold Card is a memory card that has been converted to unlock your device's CID while it is in bootloader mode. This Wiki describes how to unbrick your device if you do not have a shipped ROM that has the same CID and Device ID.

Sorry for this being a little off-topic, but I've never seen that version info before on my phone, and I have no idea what Rainbow is. Is it an app that gives you this system information?

i closed the tab allready
i did the goldcard thing.
- sd format with phone settings
(with pc over usb cable wont work, when formatting, the phones coses usb connection?!)
- reading the CID with terminal emu
- change the cid's order in the opposite and replaacing 1st two chars with "00"
- getting the goldcard with it
- opened the SD card with the hxd hexeditor
- opened the goldcard with it (both, with unchecked "open as read only")
- marked and copied ALL in goldcard image (CTRL+A than CTRL+C)
- tried to paste it in the sd card hex to offset 000000 - 00000170, than it says "Copied volume is bigger than pasting space" or something like that, its in german.
- than i tried copieing only the same offset in the goldcard, and want to paste with rightclick -> "Paste" is unselectable. so i did CTRL+V and that worked.
saved it and tried this
- i used the RC7 dreamimg.nbh file. did not work
wheres my fault?? (i had to open the hxd hex editor as admin to work)
What do you mean by the RC7 didnt work? did it not flash at all with the "Not Allow" error?

I just tried this tut. Thats what not worked for me. I found another tut, with rc7 in a german forum, but with a linux distro??
It says "not allow 0028008" or something like that.
Whats the matter with the pasting "error" when trying to paste the whole thing in offset 0000 - 000170??
Do u have icq or msn and little time? So we can make just the rooting stuff together?
I have a german g1, and i managed to root with the 1 click root application. http://phandroid.com/2009/08/17/1-click-root-its-real-and-it-works-recovery-flasher/
Don't know if it still works. You might as well give it a try.
So now i tried the linux method.
with the dd command
wont work ether
in another fred i read that u DONT have to change first bit to 00
so i tried this, wont work!
It wont make any difference if i do it with dd in linux or use the hxd hexeditor.
everytime it says "not allow 0028008"
dont even cares which dream i take.
i tried all i could find!
the one for UK, US and EU. wont work ether
now i dont know what to do.
i read, linux cant ready the cid right and i should use a WM device. but i dont have one
is there any other way to read the SD CID RIGHT with another method?
i think its the wrong CID...
plz help

hättes du meinen beitrag anständig gelesen dann wüsstes du dass diese methode NICHT geht weil die nur bis zu ner bestimmten version geht und das handy meiner freundin schon darüber hinaus is!!
Lesen hilft!!!!
First of all, I'm not German. I just happen to live in Austria for a while so that's why I bought a contract here and have a German version of a G1.
Second of all, being rude, even in German, is not constructive. I was trying to help. For me it worked, and as I said I don't know if it still does. But sorry for posting an idea on your most precious thread. Apparently ignoring my reply isn't enough.
The Goldcard method didn't work for me either. I tried it about 4 months before you did. From what I know the type of your sdcard can be incompatible with this method. Try it with some brand name cards.
Good luck with your "!!!!!!" I'm sure they will provide nicely.
Hi. I think i have the same phone as yours and it was hard to root... take me few days to find out solution.
offtopic: you got your phone is sg correct?
The main problem i found out is the "rainbow" spl aka RGB menu which will disable us from rooting.
Try this
1. We need to change our spl as the "rainbow" spl is "protected".
Update your spl to hardspl. You will need the correct radio version and the recovery img.
MAKE SURE YOUR RADIO IS Radio-2.22.19.26I
Use the 1click and you will have the cm recovery 1.4 +jf.
HSPL:
Code:
http://koushikdutta.blurryfox.com/G1RootWalkthrough/HardSPL/update.zip
Use cm recovery and select the update from sdcard.
2. After you changed the spl, you should see the skateboard spl and not rainbow anymore.
3. After that you should be able to downgrade your version to rc29.
4. Backup any files on your SD card that are valuable to you
5. Format your SD card to FAT32
Windows: Right-click on SD icon and select format
6. Download the RC29 dreaimg.nbh file (don't rename it)
* RC29 (US): http://android-dls.com/files/upload/DREAIMG.nbh
7. Put the file you just downloaded onto your freshly formatted SD card.
8. Turn your phone off.
9. Hold down the Camera button, and press the Power button to enter the bootloader.
10.Follow the on-screen instructions to flash the image. Press the power button/trackball to continue.
11. When it's done, press the trackball.
12. Reboot.
13 You should have rc29
Use this guide for your phone if the top fail. You need the hspl(3 skateboard android) in order to proceed with anything

@kalin: ok but if u did read, u should know that one click doesnt work. Or why would i try to goldcard for like 2 days??
Which G1 did u have had where it worked?
Which FW and what RC??
Afaik one click dont work for 1.6 , right?
@wizme:
Ok, but how can i flash the hardSPL without root ?
Is there a way to flash spl to a stock 1.6 with drc92??
As emntioned before, one click dont worked!
Or r there different versions and perhaps one i dont tried ??
did you try this 1click, this should give u root
Code:
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1263084
Do you have the cm recovery menu when u home+boot?
one click doesnt work on 1.6
you need root to flash a new SPL
try another SDcard for making the goldcard. your current one may not work
Did you try this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485364
it has a different method to create the goldcard
only other sd aviable is mine. its same stock SD-Card. the sandisk 2GB. may it work anyways? My SD is parted and so on. all the stuff on it.
is it possible to make an image of the SD and restore it after using it for rooting my gf's G1 ??
OK THREAD CAN BE CLOSED!!
I used the ASTRO file manager to read the CID and i could change the fontsize aaaaannnnddd ...... i had ONE "0" too much !!! LOOOOL!!!
now it works! right now its flashing RC7.
the rest is nothing for me!
REALLY MUCH THX to everyone for ur help and patiance!!
sorry for my dumbness

Another thread of "My G1 won't start"

hello all, i need help again this time.
let's get to the point.
this morning, i tried to charge my G1 because the battery has yellow color.
when i charged the phone, after around 5 minutes, suddenly my G1 restart itself and then after the "G1" logo, the screen go all black, sometimes not all black but there's a little glitch (white-green-purple-all little colors.)
the phone got heated on the bottom part everytime i power-on it, even just on battery (not charged).
i tried "Camera + Power", it's only getting to that red-blue-green-white screen that shows :
"DREA100 PVT 32B
HBOOT - 0.95.0000
CPLD-4
Radio-2.22.23.02
Sep 2 2008
Serial0"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and it stops there for AGES . won't do anything.
i tried "Home + Power", i tried to hold down that two buttons for 25 second more, but it keeps normal boot, shows G1 logo, and then black screen again.
i tried "Menu + Power", it just the same as "Home + Power"
my G1 has never been rooted, it's all original, i haven't done any system upgrading-downgrading things.
the charger is the original one, original from htc
the battery is new, i've just changed it one month ago.
that's all the informations that i can give.
so, anyone can help me solving this problem?
no one's wiling to help me?
anything you can say is helping me.
is my G1 bricked? but i didn't do anything to the system, not rooting nor flashing etc.
just normal charging and everything bad happened
It's not bricked. Hopefully, all hardware is still working. I'd say try for warranty stuff first, but if you have to, you could try downgrading using the DREAIMG.nbh then upgrade using the various zips (check unrooting guides, they have upgrades from 1.0 [dreaimg.nbh] to 1.6, latest update)
I don't have any links, but google is your friend.

I really hate to post this....

so i just picked up a g1 from craigslist, dont know what the previous owner did to the phone. its stuck in the bootloader screen(RGB). im very new to the g1 and android..... i am able to get into the recovery manager, but it appears to be the stock one from what i have seen. the boot loader says the following
DREA100 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-1.22.12.29
SEP 2 2008
I have ran signed-kila-ota-115247-prereq.TC4-RC19+RC28.zip under the recovery manager after renaming it to update.zip it seemed like it fully went through the whole process, i hit home+back, it power cycled, and showed like a uturn arrow point to an 8 legged chip for like 30 seconds-1min. then it went to like a uturn arrow coming out of a box going into a phone for a second, then rebooted to the bootloader. i picked up this phone cuz it was cheap, and im familiar with htc phones of the past, where this was an easy fix... but this one doesnt seem to be.... any ideas on what i should try to do next?? btw, i have also flashed the dreaimg.nbh file through the bootloader off the sd card, it completed properly, or looked like it did, showed ok after everything...
any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated... thnx, and srry for the noobish question.... lol..
EDIT: just ran the cupcake 1.5 and the bootloader radio changed to radio-2.22.19.26I everything else stayed the same, if that helps with anything....
EDIT2: just re-ran dreaimg.nbh, and radio line changed back to what is posted up top.... i read in another thread that the camera button is stuck down... i will be heading to my job in an hour or so to desolder said button. i dont believe the camera button is "stuck" due to the fact of the reading im getting from my ohm-meter. but time will tell, and i will update this thread when its done.
EDIT3: Removed the camera button from the mainboard, phone still boots up the same, into bootloader... so i dont thing the camera button was stuck
EDIT4: For the sake of proper documentation purposes only i will post a link to a thread i just opened explaining briefly the beginning of this post, as well as the conclusion and repair of the htc dream by replacing the front button assembly(send,home,back,end,menu buttons, and trackball, as well as usb controller/sd card slot board)

[Q] Help needed rooting my G1

Hi Folks,
I've been at it for weeks now but got in a mess that i am unable to resolve.
First i tried the oneclick method to root my phone but that came out blank.
Then i followed the guide posted on this forum but again no luck.
When i try to restore to a previous version of android ( RC29) all i get is " not allow' when i try to load it ( camera button + power on button ).
I bought this phone new as a liquidation offer from T-mobile.
The guy that sold me the phone says it is a European model. ( not US or UK).
these are the specs of the phone:
Android 1.6
Smallband 62.50s.20.17 U_2.22.19.26I
Kernel 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37
Build DRC92
When i enter the phone to install dreaimg.nbh i get the following info.
Drea110 PVT 32B
HBoot - 0.95.0000
CLPD-4
Radio 2.22.19.26I
sep 2 2008
serial0
the error code when i install = 0028002.
any help is much appreciated!
kind regards

EDIT:
Still at it.
did not get any further then the G1 logo when i used the cyanogen offered by ROM Manager.
still looking in to that...
Suggestion to manually boot to recovery mode if you can. ROM Manager tends to not works correctly. I had the same problem and currently trying to fix it.
Thanks for the link
