Hi all
I tried to install latest SPL (1.33.2005) on my G1
I think I tried to flash it 10 times , using 5 different guides, in all cases the outcome is the same - i receive notification that the install went kwel, but the SPL just does not install.
I'm currently running Engineering SPL - HBOOT-0.95.3000 (I thought at first that maybe I have to install HardSPL first and only then go for 1.33.2005, but based on what I found on the Net that's not required.
Also I'm using 1.3.1 CYanogenMod recovery , I've thought that I need to downgrade my recovery in order to install the SPL , and once again , found out it's not correct.
I'm flashing the bloody 26i radio every time , downloading the SPL from HAYKURO site, wiping , installing the same version after the SPL as I had before, rebooting into recovery when I should , waiting for 10 minutes before puling the battery out when it stuck on G1 screen ,you name it.
Method 1
1) Place Radio 26i on sdcard , change to update.zip , reboot in recovery , flash it , reboot back into recovery (automatic), reboot normal
2) Place SPL on sdcard , change to update.zip , reboot in recovery, flash it (it take 3 seconds and give notification that install is finished)
3) Still in recovery, remove sdcard , place sdcardN2 (with CYanogenMod rom named update.zip , like the one I had before).
4) Still in recovery, open console , reboot manually to recovery (no auto reboot, have to reboot by "reboot recovery").
4) Flash the CYanogenMod , reboot
ALL WORK, NO SPL
Method 2
1) Place Radio 26i on sdcard , change to update.zip , reboot in recovery , flash it , reboot back into recovery (automatic), reboot normal
2) Place SPL on sdcard , change to update.zip , reboot in recovery, flash it (it take 3 seconds and give notification that install is finished) , open console , reboot manually to recovery (no auto reboot).
3) Reboot normally - Stuck on G1 screen.
4) Take the battery out , remove sdcard ,place sdcard N2 (with CYanogenMod rom named update.zip , like the one I had before).
5) Return the battery , boot in recovery , flash the rom , reboot normally
ALL WORK, NO SPL
SO what can go wrong ? Any1 ? What am I missing ?
Your sure its not installing, as in your bootloader doesnt show 1.33.2005? Or your not sure, and it just gets stuck on g1 screen every time?

I always get to install my original version eventually , but on checking the bootloader , it show me the old SPL I had
BEFORE you do any of this make sure your have a PVT boar. Well why are you flashing your old bootloader? after the new spl says its complete, reboot, it will get stuck on g1 screen, I AM ALMOST positive you can pull the battery now and then put sd in with rom. Put battery back in and power on holding home to get to recovery. Flash rom and then reboot. After all of this once your rom is up and running, power on into bootloader and see if it says 1.33.2005.

Yep , tried that as well.
Got PVT , flashed SPL , rebooted into never-ending G1 screen , took the battery out , switched to sdcard with rom , placed battery back , booted in recovery , flashed rom , rebooted - all fine, rom running but still old SPL in bootloader
Darn
maybe you need the hardspl before you can do it?
see if you can flash another SPL like HardSPL

I was actually hoping to have some confirmation regarding this point , actually , from what I found on the Net it's not required , but who believes the NET ?
When you flash the spl it should complete the flash and then you home+back to reboot. The phone should reboot and then you should see a box with an arrow. Then it will reboot again. This is where it will stick at the g1 screen. That's where you pull the battery and flash your build again. Did you see the box with the arrow?
try to use the actual button rather than use trackball. like alt+s to update rather than choosing the update menu using trackball.
i've heard people having this problem if they are on cyna recovery. Go back to JF recovery image before flashing SPL.

Was just about to say the same. Its been widely reported that you have to flash this spl from jf's recovery.

Just my observation on this. If you get stuck on g1 screen, which I did, you can wipe your phone without reinstalling the ROM. The next reboot will take 5-10 mins, but it will boot up fine.

Thank you thank you thank you all.
Mods - feel free to lock this thread
That's wierd lol. Friend just flashed it on Cyan's recovery
I just flashed to jachero last night. I thought i had the most up to date spl but was getting an error. My problem was not mounting the sdcard before the push. After i did that it installed fine and im using Cya recovery.
You couldn't have installed JACHero without the latest spl, SPL: 1.33.2005

Yes i realize.. i thought i had it.. but did not. So i had to update that first and that fixed my error so i could install JACHero. My main point was that i could push just fine in adb with Cyanogen's recovery.
Before someone flames me for being a n00b and not being able to use the search function in the forum, this is not a thread where I ask about *how* to unroot my phone; that information is here, and I have been using that to attempt to unroot.
The problem is as follows:
The 'Home' button on my G1 has broken in such a way that it 'turbo-presses' home continuously. I cannot open any applications, use the phone function, text, or anything. When I reboot my phone, or it runs our of battery, I am greeted with the recovery screen. On the off-chance that it lets up long enough to let me turn my phone on, (as I already explained) all I can do is receive calls.
I plan to take the phone back to T-Mobile to get a replacement, but need to unroot it so my warranty is not void.
1. Get the original SPL for your phone, get it here
2. Rename it to update.zip and copy it to your sd card. /sdcard
3. Download the DREAIMG.nbh from here.
4. Place DREAIMG.nbh on the root of your SD card. /sdcard
5. Go into your phones recovery. [Hold the home & power button]
6. Push Alt+S on your G1 to flash it with update.zip
7. After it does its thing, gettig back to your home screen.
4. Start phone in bootloader. [Hold camera+power button]
5. Hit power to start the update DO NOT INTERRUPT!! i can not stress this enough.
6. Click on the action button(track ball) and your phone will reboot.
7. YOU NOW HAVE STOCK FIRMWARE, it will update on it's own in a little bit, or *Settings>About phone>System Updates*
The steps in italics are as far as I can get!
(I also have the cupcake update on my sdcard ready for when it works)
Please help - I do not have a usable phone currently, and it's really bugging me. I know it's a mechanical fault. Phone details are in my sig.
This is not my first port of call - I *have* tried other methods. For instance:
1. Recovery
2. Apply SPL
3. adb shell reboot bootloader
whereupon I get either a 'Serial0' message, or no message whatsoever (when plugged into PC)
It would also seem that rebooting after the SPL update and pulling out the battery at the G1 screen, as some guides suggest, doesn't work either, since when I boot (and attempt to boot into bootloader) I instead end up in recovery.
For your information, entering 'adb shell reboot' doesn't override the pressing down on the home button, as I'm sure you're aware, and I can't find an adb command that forces a normal reboot.
I can provide more information if needed, and sorry for the wall of text - I needed to explain thoroughly!

The SPL is included in the RC29 DREAING.nbh, so there's no need to worry about flashing it seperately. Just put DREAIMG.nbh on the root of your sdcard and use the adb command to get into the bootloader (adb shell reboot bootloader, as you said). [home] isnt a valid shortcut in the bootloader, so as long as your file is named correctly and on the root of the card, you should be able to hit [power] and flash.

This is all well and good, but since I'm in the UK, do I not have to use the RC7 DREAIMG.nbh?
Does that include the related SPL?
Thank you for your prompt reply.
EDIT: I am using the .nbh file found here.
Also, after rebooting numerous times to no avail, I have just booted into the OS. Is there anything I should do whilst I have this available?
Ah, I you didn't have a flag by your name so I assumed yank.. sorry about that.
Yes, RC7 also includes the SPL. Flashing that should be the only thing you need to do before you send it back.
I get 'Serial0' error still?
hendos43 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Serial0 isn't an error, it's the mode the bootloader is in.
When you first boot into that mode it should search for update files on the card.. it should run through a list of filenames before displaying Serial0.. is that happening?
Edit: make sure your battery is well charged or it might not attempt the update.
I don't believe so, but then there is only one file on the card, so it may be happening very quickly. Why is it that I can skip the SPL update, but some (most) guides say to flash it first if you've ever done it in the past?
EDIT: No, it's not showing anything. It pauses before showing 'Serial0', but doesn't show any files. Is the .nbh corrupt?
Also, if this is of use, this is the exact information my bootloader shows:
DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.26I

I'm a bit hazy here cos I've not used stock in AGES and I've never tried to revert, but maybe the SPL you've flashed will only accept US signed files.. Try flashing HardSPL from recovery, then using the RC7 DREAIMG.nbh again.

No, I've never tried to revert either . I will try this. Will flashing the Hard SPL require me to reboot to OS?
EDIT: I used DangerSPL which allowed me to flash the DREAIMG. Rebooted, and obviously now have stock Recovery mode. Installing the update.zip I had on the sdcard (cupcake)
EDIT 2: Now in full stock, with my fault! Time to make a claim!
Thank you xda, and especially you, goldenarmZ =)
I was flashing the original stock spl to my phone, i allready have flashed original os. but i flashed stock spl with micro sd method.
now my phone is stuck on loading...
what to do now? its my only phone
when i pull out my battery, it says continuing to update rom. and than goes to loading.. again
fixed one problem...
i now have put back teh hard spl and stock rom.
now only need the stock spl.
for the ones who want to know how i fixed it:
i pulled out my micro sd and put on it the stock rom
than just turned on the xperia, then it reboots like 10 times lol
and than it starts flashing
i'll use my xp computer next time for flashing lol
this method works perfect .

extra how to: how to restore Stock SPL for warranty reasons.
step by step:
- this is ONLY for warranty reasons. i.e. the device needs repair and you have to send it to htc to get it serviced. if you plan to restore hardspl then don't even bother flashing this stock package, unless you are some kind of hacker/dev
- IMPORTANT: be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
- now the steps
1. download the stock spl package from this post.
2. download X1_HardSPL_v1 too, from this post.
3. run the hardspl package, but do not press Next button i.e do not go ahead with flash yet.
4. at this point, take the extracted stock SPL, a RUU_Signed.NBH file, and overwrite the other RUU_Signed.NBH in hardspl package.
5. go on with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour screen with 0.52.OliNex version), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+1. to verify, enter bootloader (see description above in this post), and check version number on tricolour screen. it should say 0.72.0000.

1. Turn on your phone normally (i.e. not into bootloader mode)
2. Connect phone to pc using USB cable and select activesync mode.
3. Follows instruction as above in post #4.
Hopes it helps
i did it exact that same way. but nvm i fixed it now.
So usually I've read this is a matter of the wrong spl, or unsigned files, or other things that don't seem to be my problem. I've searched for days now and would LOVE some help.
I'm downgrading for a warranty return because my touchscreen doesn't work. I try to follow the directions found in several threads but I get hung up at the same spot.
When flashing the dreaimg.nbh file in the stock bootloader, bootloader starts, checks, then I get to the screen that asks you to press power to flash, or action to cancel. No buttons on this screen do anything. Not the "3 finger solute" to reboot, not power, not action, nothing. Just no response. And yes, I waited, and waited.
I think I've tried about every combination of everything I can think of, but please, your suggestions mean a lot to me.
The only thing I can think of, is that maybe the updated radio isn't compatible with RC29, and the phone knows this somehow and won't let me flash RC29 with my current radio? Does that make any sense? Do I need to flash an old radio, then the dreaimg.nbh?
Thanks!
(anybody wanna tell me how to get a screenshot from the bootloader and I'd be glad to show it, but it's just the standard screen)
I say try! ahaha
Same thing happened to me with the touchscreen lol.
I just flashed the old image didn't even bother to update or anything and just sent it in.
And I didn't get charged for voiding the warranty.
And no the new radio is compatible with RC29 I've used my friends phone when we were rooting it and he had the new radio.
Thanks for that, if I can't figure it out, I guess I'll try the warranty. I'm still going to work on it though, I can't imagine that someone hasn't had an unresponsive bootloader before though, and know how to fix it.
I've always done things the retard way, but I've spent the last week learning ALOT. I've got adb and fastboot setup, is there a way to flash the nbh file via fastboot or adb, bypassing the bootloader?
And FYI for others, with the nonworking touchscreen you can't "press the droid" after a factory reset. SDK, and androidscreencast fixed that, you can see your screen on your computer and use your mouse to click!
http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
I also just got droid explorer, which lets you do lots of things with a GUI, including invoke androidscreencast, man that would've been easier a week ago! At least now I am able to use the phone as I had to disable the wipe unlock, and touch the droid to recover from a wipe!
I imagine this would be perfect for people with broken screens as well!
the .NBH includes EVERYTHING but an SPL... it rewrites Radio, splash1 system and usrdata...... if you cant press the action button, first try re-flashing the SPL, then try cleaning out your trackball
the action button is the trackball BTW...
Thanks for those tips. But I've done that and it still doesn't work. Even tried downloading the spl from a variety of sources, and doing a checksum to make sure it's not corrupted. And the trackball works in every other application. Basically, the stock bootloader just won't respond to any command (action to cancel, power to update, 3 buttons to reboot, nothing). It DOES recognize the .nbh, which is a step further than most bootloader fail threads I see.
Is it possible to flash an nbh file using fastboot or adb? I've figured out how to do update.zips this way, but not .nbh. I'd still have a custom bootloader, but everything else would be stock.
Thanks again everyone!
So if anybody can help, maybe this bit is useful too, I get no response from the hard spl either. Example, it is my understanding that the standard hard spl screen (with no .nbh file on card it dislplays phone radio info at top, serial0/10, 3 android skaters at bottom) that screen I should be able to press call+power+menu to reboot, right? I get nothing, and thought I should. This spl won't flash the nbh either, I guess because it won't register the "press power to contine".
1. Any ideas? My keys work when in standard usage and in recovery, why won't they work in any of the spls?
2. still wondering if/how I can fastboot the dreaimg.nbh file?
Make it unbootable (don't brick it - just wipe your current ROM and recovery partition) and restore to stock G1 SPL and if they say anything about "It won't boot" blame it on shipping.
Have you tried updating with a engineering SPL? I don't know if that would have any difference. Also, is your sdcard still partitioned? I think it has to be all fat32 or a goldcard (no idea where a goldcard actually come in on G1).
Brilliant! I bet it is the partitioning! I now remember that I thought about that for a minute, but tried other things. I'll try a fresh, all fat32 partitioning and give that a shot. Otherwise, good call on just deleting the partitions.
(actually excited to have something hopeful to try for a change!)
Solved!
Cheers to you R3s!
If anybody else finds themselves with an unresponsive bootloader, make sure your sdcard is not partitioned.
For the step by step folks who may be wanted to return a G1 to stock, in my case for a warranty return because the touchscreen doesn't work:
put the stock 1 G card in a card reader, popped it in the usb drive of a winxp system, my computer, right click on drive, format (not quick) fat32.
copied over stock spl renamed as update.zip
copied over DREAIMG.nbh
unmount sd card
pop into g1
home+power to get into recovery
apply update.zip
reboot
wipe
reboot + hold camera button
power button to apply
wait, this time I got the status bar immediately
action button to restart when prompted
reboots to spl
3 finger salute to reboot (call+end+menu)
BAM, back to the android to press the button to start
(and fully stuck there now since I don't have a touchscreen, my daughter called me crazy for being so happy, she asked if I fixed it and I said no I broke it!)
So there ya go, anybody else has this problem, reformatting the sdcard isn't enough, you have to remove the partitions.
My hero is stuck on the HTC (white screen) reboot, it keeps looping every 15mins or so, until the battery dies.
I tried to go into FastBoot (which keeps flashing, the screen turns on and off), but I can get it to go into fastboot USB if I hold down the "search" button (and the screen stabilizes too)
I flashed the stock rom, but that doesn't help. I even tried to clear all the data by doing, home + back key.
Did I truly brick the phone? I even swapped memory cards to see if it would help, but no luck there.
Any help would be GREATLY apperciated.
Thank you!
I'm still pretty new to the rooting and flashing stuff (I've had my Hero for less than a week) but I ran into the same problem and was able to get out of it. If you have an external card reader that you can use, it would help greatly, because that's how I was able to add data to the SD card without having to access the phone. Turn your phone off and remove the SD card. Plug it into your reader, then into your PC, and add a custom ROM directly to the root of the card (i.e. - NOT inside a folder) like Fresh 2.3.3 or anything else you want to use (I used Fresh because I couldn't get CM6 to load). Put the card back into the phone and boot it into recovery mode (hold the HOME button whole powering it on). You should be able to access the ROM and flash it from there, just be sure to wipe first and backup at some point. Hope this helps!!
Did you completely wipe the phone (data and dalvik) before flashing a new ROM? If you didn't wipe the top 3 options (data, dalvik, ext3) before flashing a ROM, this may be what's causing your bootloop.
Bricking the Hero is very very very hard. Unless you flashed a GSM radio, you're pretty much safe
Go back into recovery, wipe EVERYTHING (except SD), flash original ROM, it should work.
Where is your dalvik cache btw?

I tried to do what you said, I extracted the zip file and placed its contents in the root of the SD card, but when I tried to boot up into recovery mode, It was still stuck on the HTC screen.
@chromiumleaf
I don't think I have, but how would I be able to fix that issue if I didn't?
@derekwilkinson
Luckily, I have a copy of my SD card, So I still have it, if it would be any use?
@Big-O-Devil
I have been flashing the stock RUU for days now, and its still stuck on the same issue, (i just did it now, just to be sure, again) and will leave the phone on, till it dies basically. that way I know that I know I waited for it to boot...

Don't extract the zip file. Just copy it to the root of your SD card. Hold down the home key + the power key to boot into recovery. If that doesn't work, try to using the volume DOWN button + the power key. Then press home when the screen loads up. I'm sure you know this, I'm just making sure you didn't forget anything.

Here is the some of the information thats on the "volume down" screen:
(HBOOT SCREEN)
HERC XC SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.47
..
Radio 2.42.01.04.27
@Big-O-Devil
And yes it does, I can see the device in ADB list of devices, but it is "offline"...

I'm gonna have to agree with Big-O-Devil here, stop trying to do it through recovery and just use the RUU from HTC/Sprint
@derekwilkinson
I have been doing that, I've tried to use the HTC/Sprint RUU and its still the same. I've been flashing the .5 RUU and .6 RUU, but none of which have helped. They are all still stuck in the reboot loop.
Is my hboot version correct?
My device does this when I boot into hboot..
"It also does a SD card check when it boots up onto this screen, says something like
herodiag.zip
etc etc"

Ok so flashing doesn't. Work... look for the stock ruu program that restores your phone back to the its original 2.1.. it's a program that does everything for you... if it works you are going to have to reroot again and start from the beginning.. let me know......

Yes, I too suggest that you re-root.

Did you completely wipe the phone (data and dalvik) before flashing a new ROM? If you didn't wipe the top 3 options (data, dalvik, ext3) before flashing a ROM, this may be what's causing your bootloop.

I don't think I have, but how would I be able to fix that issue if I didn't?

From your recovery menu (holding Home then pressing Power to turn the phone on) there is an option called "Wipe". Select that one, then there are 5 options within that. Do the top 3 of them (data, dalvik, ext3). After that, push your Back button which brings you to the main recovery menu. Then select Flash zip from sd card and go through the process of flashing whatever ROM.zip you have on the root of your SD (the whole .zip itself, don't extract all the files out).
If that still doesn't cure your bootloop problems, then you need to download the stock RUU (you can find it at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6686401&postcount=2). This RUU is NOT the same as nfinitefx45's STOCK ROM! You have to run this RUU through HTCSync on your PC. But try the wiping that I recommended above first....then do this RUU if that doesn't work. Know that running the RUU will remove your root access, so you will have to re-root again after it's done.

+1.. that should do the trick for you... good luck....
I apologize, I wasn't using the correct terms.
I don't currently have the phone rooted, I have used the Sprint/HTC RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.27.651.5_R_signed_release(2)
file to "reset"(if you want to call it that) back to stock mode...but that doesn't do anything, it still is stuck in a reboot loop.
So currently, I dont have any options other than the default when I press "home" on the phone while turning it on. It just automatically clears the data when I do that.
@Big-O-Devil - I have used that file in that post before, and It doesn't help the situation. It is also stuck in a reboot loop.
@YoungSinema - If the file is different from the STOCK RUU, the "exe" that runs...then I would love to try that out. I went ahead and sent you the pm just incase.
Try running the RUU again via HTC Sync on your PC while your phone is turned on and during the bootlooping.

How would I do that, since HTC Sync actually never connects to the phone while the phone is turned on and during the boot loop?
How can i run the RUU via HTC Sync?
