Hi. So I got my HTC branded Dream two days ago. Things are going great but I'm getting the urge to mod. I seem to read different 'facts' everywhere. Also people use EBI1 and 32A interchangably. If you guys could could just tell me if I'm on the right track or about to kill my phone...
SPL states:
Dream PVT 32B SHip s-on d
HBOOT-1.33.0010 (DREA20000)
CPLD-4
radio-3.22.20.17
So thats a 32B board with a EBI1 radio with the perfect SPL.
To get to cyanogenMod 4.2.5 from stock:
1.) Install FlashRec 1.1.3
2.) Use to flash Cyanogen 1.4.32A recovery image (cm-recovery-1.4-32A.img)
3.) Boot to recovery and Flash normal Android 1.6 Recovery Image (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip)
4.) Flash CyanogenMod ROM (update-cm-4.2.5-signed.zip)
5.) Flash EBI1 radio port (bc-4.2.5a-ebi1-signed.zip)
Questions:
Is that right?
Will the phone will be rooted in the process?
Can I change to developer SPL .0005 safely?
Can use any theme for regular G1s?
Does this mean I have 288MB?
Thx
and....? did it work?
You have to be rooted to do all that first.
It'll work, but you'll need specific 32B/EBI kernels for the ROMS. And not all EBI patches are alike.
And no, it won't magically give you extra memory.

i'm about to install Hero by Maxisma v2.0.1 and need help to MAKE sure i don't brick. Requirements for it are "SPL 1.33.2005 (Called Haykuro SPL), and Partitions in this order: FAT32+EXT+SWAP" and when installing the SPL it says "MUST FLASH RADIO FIRST". so how do i make sure my G1 is compatible to work with the SPL and is there any guides for partitioning EXT+SWAP? i'm using Flash Cyanogen Recovery 1.4 and wanna thank you for the help.
Here's all my info from fastboot:

and am i supposed to partition before or after installing the rom?
partition before flashing the rom.
you have the latest radio, so there is no need to flash the same radio again.
i followed this youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ve8pUk9dC4, partitioned it, ran the sdl first, then the Hero by Maxisma v2.0.1 and have failed. it's looping on the G1 screen, could use some help asap
hey there,
Since brain crook has released a ebi1 port for dwangs rom i have decided to try it.
My phone is currently running the EBI1 Canadian radio (which I think should be fine with Super 1.7)
But my question is:
I have the SPL 1.33.2005 (DREA21000)
I read on Dwangs rom page that this rom requires the danger spl, can someone please clarify whether or not I am running the danger SPL right now? also if i am does everything look right for me to be using his rom?
mine (as far as i know) is the danger SPL. it reads
Code:
DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA10000)
CPLD-4

SO, i don't think you have the SPL.
Make a backup of your current rom and try it. As far as I know, that SPL is only for g1 phones and others that share the same board with less ROM space.
the dream should have the same rom space, if anytinhg it would have more as it was released later?

No specs were kept the same but design of case changed, hence the reason Rogers customers were offered upgrade to Magic.
i have

what spl is that... :\
Alright so i did have the danger spl because all is working.
I now have a new question,
The dwang rom uses the ram hack so 3d games would be effected. Does this mean that they would run slow or not run at all?
I ask because i tried to play quake and it would force close right away.

Its both:
I was able to use Neocore but received a low rating.But 3D compass and waveblazer wouldnt play at all.The SPL doesnt affect games or apps at all, it only changes how the phone's partitions are setup for use.
Can someone shade some light? I have a rooted HTC Dream from Rogers Canada showing the following information:

Now coming to downloading Rom images should I go with the one Compatible with:
HTC Dream (32a): RogersDream, Vodafone Dream or HTC Dream (32b): T-Mobile G1 / HTC ADP1
Please note mine has 32b board.
A) there is no such thing as a 32a dream
B) the radio determines the memory layout ebi0 for 1.x and 2.x radios, ebi1 for 3.x radios, nothing else works on a dream at this point in time
C) magic32a devices where the first with the ebi1 radio/kernel so many of the ebi1 roms are called 32a (the 32a radio does allow access to the extended memory on a 32a magic, however this is impossible on 32b magic/dreams due to the lack of phyisical ram)
D) you can switch to a 2.x radio with fastboot, only thimg to note: it may not be calabrated as well for 2g networks and if you are a rogers customer you may need to call to retain your data if the online wavier fails
Note use of recovery to flash a 2.x radio will brick your phone so don't do it that way.
As for what should you install, if there is no radio or spl in the upgrade.zip it will not brick your phone, if its for the wrong radio type it will not boot.. thus you need ebi1 roms unless you use fastboot to install an ebi0 radio.

I just dusted off my Rogers Dream and I'm running exactly what you posted above on CyanogenMod 6.0.0-DS.
I noticed your signature states Ginger Yoshi now for the Dream, what did you do or instructions did you follow?
So I tried to install KingxKlick's Legend2G1 ROM onto my Rogers Dream. It's been rooted using the exploid method and I've successfully installed a few Cyanogenmod ROMs already. For some reason though, the KingxKlick ROM doesn't seem to want to stick - I flash it (using Amon-RA; SD Card formatted as directed in the thread) and it just sits at the Rogers splash, but never loads the ROM. I have DangerSPL and the latest EBI1 radio (since I had the E-911 update before rooting), and the SD card is partitioned properly (I think; FAT32/Ext4/Linux Swap), so I have no idea what's wrong.
Here's what I get in fastboot;
DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA21000)
CPLD-4
RADIO-3.22.26.17
Any ideas?
This ROM is for EBI0 radios but you have EBI1. Either flash an EBI0 radio or find a kernel port.
So where could I find a compatible EBI1 radio? Will any due?
Thats an Eclair ROM right? If so, you can try one of bcrook's CM5 ports. I have no idea if it will work though.

Hi a while back I modded my g1 with zxdonut 1.6.
for this rom it required having...
dream pvt 32b ship s-on
HBoot 1.33.0013d
cpld-4
radio-2.22.28.25
I was interested in flashing Biffmod which requires..
Radio Required: 2.22.23.02
SPL Required: Death SPL
Question: A) Can i downgrade my radio safely from 2.22.28.25 to 2.22.23.02 safely without fear of bricking (I searched a lot on this and couldn't find the answer)?
B) that HBoot is a danger/death spl right?
I'd really appreciate you guys pointing me in the right direction as I would like to use this rom, anybody who points out how to safely go from my 1.6 to this 2.1 will get a cookie lol.
