European user??
Try to root youre phone with the goldcard.img method. I never found a english version of this tutorial, only dutch. So no link to a dutch document

your not in the US?

i am dutch .. and cant do goldcard way .. dont have a mw mobile anymore -.-

you should try this method http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
downgrade to RC7

its says in bootloader.. not allow code 00028002

your sd card is formatted to FAT32?

yes formatted on pc and tryd it and formatted whit phone and both wont work yes and fat32

I have the same problem, I'm on DRC83 on 1.6 and I can't downgrade. My G1 is from the states but I live in Costa Rica. I always used the US Version when upgrading my phone (When I got it, it wasn't even on 1.5) So i manual updated to 1.6 with the US Versions.
But It just doesn't seem to read the update file :S

http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-root-a-donut-phone-android-1-6/
try this method, step by step instructions. My friend had the same problem after he downloaded the htc 1.6.. This was the only wat he could get root again.

And the file is on the root of the sd card? It can not be inside a folder or anything.

i try'd the unlockr way but on step 1: back to cupcake not allowed to install the 1.5
maybe its cause its not the "dutch" or "European" version
and no i am not so stupid.. just on sd/update.zip not in any folders

Make sure you are unzipping the rc29 file first, then just grabbing the dreaimg.nbh and renaming it to update.

^ try that
Guys i dont think you get it...stop telling him to flash the DREAIMG.nbh
he cant flash it until he uses the goldcard method.
You need to follow the steps in the guide

Does he need to use the goldcard method cause he's not in the US? Or is it donut related?

My G1 is also bought in the Netherlands and i had the same problem. He really needs to use the qmat(goldcard) method.
There are two options to make a goldcard. One with use of a Windows Mobile phone, or an other with the use of linux . I did it with the use of a laptop and a Ubuntu live cd. It is really simple to do unless you have the hardware.
The problem is not related to donut.

Its because its a non-UK European phone. Bootloader is locked from flashing w/o a goldcard

Installed 1.6 manually, wrong one... How to get back(downgrade) to 1.5?

Hey everybody.. after a failed htc diamond (mda c4)
they exchanged it for a G1 today.. so happy me, on a 2 year contract but with a new phone every year
now... it came with 1.1 firmware (official) and searched the internet for 1.5 and 1.6.. so i installed both and now im on a official 1.6 unrooted.
But i think i installed the wrong one because i STILL dont have dutch language (1.1 had english and german and this 1.6 version has english and spanish)
My question now is how do i get back to 1.5 to get the 1.6 update from T-Mobile NL over the air?
--bump--
sorry for bumping the topic but can someone tell me how? dont really need the rooting, but can someone tell me how to get back to 1.5 or 1.1?
I tried to flash a nbh but it says 'not allow'
btw i have an dutch t-mo g1.. so its an eu device i think.. can't find the RC29 for eu anyone any idea? searched the forum but the only official thing i get is TheOfficial and it isnt even really official cause its rooted and cant use it
if you want to flash RC7 (which is what you should flash instead of RC29 as 29 is for us phones)
you need to use the goldcard method
search for the thread by Yuye in this forum
Whats good B-man.
Also you can root your phone (I know you said you didn't care to) and load a custom rom with more languages on it, so you don't have to stay on an outdated firmware. Also won't the 1 click method work on his phone B-man?
He said hes on 1.6US so no it wont. He wants 1.6 OTA for NL (i think its the same as the EU but not sure), and is looking for the 1.5NL version so he can get up to 1.6NL
i dont know if the EU 1.6 is out yet, i think there are still a few days left.
I think RC7 is your best bet. hopefully youll get the OTA for NL (you should, i dont think theres any reason it wont, but i dont know of the details in regional differences)
okay FINALLY i managed to get a goldcard after 5 hours of searching and reading how to (HxD hex editor did the trick, didnt want to vmware a linux install just for this)
So i downgraded it to an RC7, then i installed the 1.5us update (i think its us because it has the spanish language)
I hope that i can still recieve the 1.6 OTA update.. can anybody confirm if it's possible to get an EU/NL update even though i have an US android now?
And yes to answer the question if the 1.6 is out in holland, they're rolling it out as im typing (since a couple of days) but havent recieved a message. read somewhere that i should make a call then i'll get the update sooner. (to let the network know you have a g1 thats not updated yet)
its hard to get used to the android after having a WM device, but im getting there
If anyone could still provide me with/point me out to tho EU/NL 1.5 with dutch language i'd appreciate that, it would make things a little easier
Okay just got the 1.6 update and installed it. Can confirm that once u update to us 1.5 ur stuck on us.. still gettin spa and eng locale only.. so maybe ill root it during the weekend

That means the sd card you're using isn't compatible as a gold card.. You'll need to get another card (different brand) and try

You you have the right DreaIMG.nbh file? RC7 is Europe RC29 is US.
no limit
I tried both, still nothing. I get the same message not alow
Where did your device originally come from? The error is related to the nbh file not being compatible. You can Google for this and find lots of discussion about that error message. If it is not US or UK it may take some special steps. There is a process involving a "gold card" that may be what you need.
I am also having this issue. it is a USA Tmo G1 with the DMD64 1.6 update. mine flashes a screen that says "no img file then gets stuck on a 3 colored screen with the radio info. any ideas?

Make sure the card is formatted fat32 and the DreaIMG.nbh is the only file on the card.

If it is, in fact, 1.6 version you have installed, then you can just skip the activation.
What you need to do is root the thing, find the big long SPL thread and get the engineering spl 0.95.3000, install that, and then install the stock system images (or better yet, one of the eclaire system images).
All the information you need is available, you just need to look for it.
Don't be scared of the "search" button up above.

Yeah I know that it's good, the thing is that I was using my HTC wildfire for PSFreedom for my PS3, and for that you need to have your phone rooted.

Stupid question. Which phone do you have? US T-Mobile? Rogers Dream? etc...
Depending on which phone you have. You are required to use a specific nbh file.
IE: dreaming.nbh for US T-Mobile...
There are RC7 and RC29 (if I remembered it right) for different G1 phone.
Also, you will have to format your SD card using FAT partition.

One more thing, if that is what I think it is. It's US T-Mobile, then you will need to use RC29, not RC7. But you have to confirm that first.
it's an europe telefoon.
i tried to use it both,
but it's 32b
look in my post above
it says if a renamed it to dreaming.nhb
no img file
can someone upload the rc7 and rc29 and maybe rc30 mod ?????
Have you try camera+power to see if you can get in fastboot?
i see the colored screen
then the gray and that's it, then it's plops back to the colored screen
does anyone has qmat full????
no one nows the answer i see
