Issue installing spl and latest radio

Hi Everyone,
I am been visiting xda since I got my g1/adp1 over a year ago. I have been using it and it has been doing very well for me. Back in January I had flashed a rom and I had ended up with the hardspl. Since then for some odd reason, I was never able to flash the dangerspl or engineering spl. So from what I looked over on the forum, I used the dream.nbh file and went back to the original release and then flashed the cupcake update as advised in one of the posts here. After doing that, I was able to log in and install FlashRec and install the Amon Ra 1.6.2 recovery.
However, after doing that, I tried to flash the updated Radio and the hard spl, and I have been unsuccessful. Prior to installing the radio, I do the wipe/factory reset and then flash the ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip. After it complete it and pressing back + home, it even says writing radio image. However, when I boot into android or fastboot, it still shows that radio is 1.22.12.29. And the spl is the original 0.95.0000. I have also followed the procedure in the above link to install the radio then hard spl and then the cyanogen Cyanogen4.2.12.2 installation. I was able to boot into the rom; however the radio is still 1.22.12.29 and the spl is 0.95.0000.
With regards to info on the phone, it is DREA100 PVT 32B. So I would really appreciate anyone’s advice on how I can restore it to the engineering SPL or install the hard spl and then switch to the danger spl; and also update the radio. Thank you

When installing a radio or SPL, you need to follow its instructions.
That means that when you start in recovery mode and flash the "update.zip" matching your radio, its first step is to write it (to the cache partition), then reboot into update-radio mode, then write it AGAIN (to the radio partition), then reboot into recovery and format the cache partition.
You need to follow it the WHOLE WAY THROUGH -- not stop at the first stage and call it good.

Hi,
As mentioned before, I did follow the guide to the T on re-rooting and reflashing. I followed both ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606147 and also ttp://theunlockr.com/2010/04/26/how-to-root-the-htc-g1dream/ + ttp://theunlockr.com/2010/04/26/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-g1-dream/ . However, neither of these procedures resulted in the installation of the hard spl or the updated radio ota-radio-2_22_19_26I. The adp1 continues to be to have the Original G1 Spl 0.95.0000 and radio 1.22.12.29 from the flashing of the Dream nbh file.
So could anyone please advise on what else I can do to flash and update the spl and the radio. Thank you ^^.

you can try to flash the radio through adb/fastboot its better and safer to do..

oh? can you please tell me the adb commands to use to flash the new radio? I have look at the ADB guide for dummies and ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719 & ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517874 . I can't seem to figure out how to install radio via adb. When I had the hardspl, I could install radio, system, boot, etc via fastboot. But adb is unfamiliar to me as I have never been successful with it. So can you please guide me with the commands to follow ^^. Thank you in advance.

Thats what i meant was fastboot that was my noobieness to say adb.. flash radio thru fastboot...

Yes, fastboot is where I am trying to get too. However, the original G1 spl is not letting me access fastboot. If have files on the sdcard, in fastboot it shows serial0. But when I wipe it, it shows nothing under the original g1 fastboot mode.
So can someone advice me on what I can do to install hardspl or engineering spl to get fastboot working again T.T.

same problem
hi! am having exactly the same problem. stuck on stock SPL (hboot 0.95.0000) and radio (1.22.12.29). flashing radio via recovery (RA-dream-1.7.0) yields same results (formatting cache...). tried rebooting after reboot by radio but i still end up with old radio.
any thoughts?
i want to update radio so i can flash dangerSPL and be able to flash CM6.
TIA!

Yep, that's exactly how it works. First off, are you using T-Mobile USA?
Remember to NEVER flash DangerSPL on a 1.x, 4.x, or 6.x radio!!
The following are compatible radios that you can safely flash before you flash DangerSPL:
2.22.23.02 (T-Mobile USA)
3.22.26.17 (Rogers CA)
3.22.20.17 (Orange UK)
2.22.19.26I (Non-US)
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App
CyanogenMod V6.0.0 Stable / HBOOT-1.33.2005 / Radio 2.22.23.02 T-Mobile USA

using a T-Mobile G1 outside the U.S.
ok, since i can't update radio as it stands, here's my plan.
1. reboot to recovery mode
2. flash HardSPL
3. flash radio
(... if radio update successful)
4. flash DangerSPL
5. flash CyanogenMod6
6. do the funky chicken!
sounds good?

Yes, but I don't think that will make a difference. You should be able to flash the radio successfully on a stock HBOOT. I've never had problems flashing the radio before, so I don't know. But sure, you can update the HBOOT to HardSPL, but I don't think it'll make any difference.

exact same problem
Having the exact same problem. I have literally spent 2 days trying to do this.
Trying to do the whole CMwiki procedure, unlockr procedure, and various others.
Luckily I didn't brick it.
But I am in the same boat, now matter what I try, after flashing the radio via
recovery amon-ra 1.7 I check on fastbook and it is still 1.22 version of radio.
I have the stock Hboot, etc....
Has anyone had luck with fastboot / adb flashing the radio??
Thanks for any help.

Flash HBOOT 1.33.2003:

Once 1.33.2003 is installed you can install 1.33.2005 via fastboot as on the post I linked to .. or skip directly to the newer 2708+ radios/SPLs with extra ram:

[Q] CM5 install prob- not booting into custom recovery?!

Hi,
I've owned and ROM'd two Android phones, but not a G1 and wanted to help out a friend to get her stock 1.6 G1 to CM5. We ran into problems which led me to not want to continue before they are sorted out. I looked for answers to this but couldn't find any, so please don't flame me if I overlooked any. I tried to go by the instructions in the CM wiki.
This is what we did:
- We installed ClockWorkMod Recovery through the ROM Manager app
- We rebooted into that recovery and via adb flashed AmonRA recovery
- we rebooted into the AmonRA recovery which worked (I *think* just regularly holding Home while powering on)
- we flashed the appropriate radio update for her US TMo G1
- the documentation said "phone will reboot during update". I think it did, but it seemed stuck on "formatting cache" in recovery.
- when holding Home on reboot after that, it did from there on NOT reboot into the custom recovery
- instead, it rebooted into what looks like "bootloader" mode on my Moto Milestone, a screen with a phone and an exclamation point. We could get into stock recovery with Alt-L, but I don't think that is what we wanted.
At this point, it seemed to not reliably boot into custom recovery, so I didn't want to continue the process. I assume I could have gone down the same of flashing a custom recovery, but I wasn't sure what would happen with/after installation of the DangerSPL if booting into recovery wouldn't work.
So - is the "booting into bootloader instead of recovery" a known issue? Am I too much of a noob on the G1 and did totally miss something? Could or should we proceed to the DangerSPL / CM5 installation with this going on?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Flashing a new recovery from CM5 or CM6 is not working well. Try flashing the recovery image / radio image / ... from fastboot and you should be fine.
Edit: I did not read well the first time. Now I notice, that you are still on stock SPL, sorry. But re-reading well I've got a question: Are you sure you flashed already successfully a new recovery? For me it seems you are still on a plain stock G1.

Thanks a lot for your help!
We _were_ on a custom recovery twice, after flashing it from ROM manager (Clockworkmod then) and on the AmonRA recovery after that. As the recoveries clearly had non-stock things like nandroid I'm quite positive.
The problem seems to be that they didn't "stick" - we flashed the radio ROM upgrade from Amonra recovery, but after a reboot with Home pressed landed in the exclamation point screen again (which seems to indicate stock recovery as you can get to that with Alt-L from there).
If fastboot is indeed the way to go, where do I get the drivers for the windows/pc side of it? The noob guide I found had no help there :/.
Thanks again,

Few things;
1) if you have the OEM system image, then, indeed, the recovery will be overwritten by the OEM recovery image upon reboot into the system.
2) You say that you've written a RADIO image.... ***WHAT*** radio image did you write? You should have written a radio with a version number that starts with a "2".
3) Have you written a new SPL? The SPL you should write is 1.33.2003. DO NOT install deathSPL, no matter how many RETARDS suggest it. There is ABSOLUTELY NO USE in it. 1.33.2003 is SAFE to install (unlike 1.33.2005), and the ONLY benefit of 1.33.2005 has been GREATLY EXCEEDED, making that "benefit" entirely pointless.
Note that with the stock SPL (0.95.0000), there IS NO FASTBOOT. 1.33.2003 has a very strong fastboot capable of writing ALL partitions, including the radio image. Fastboot is the safest way to write the radio and SPL, but prior to installing an SPL with a strong fastboot mode, obviously you can't use this feature.
Steps:
1) Reinstall custom recovery,
2) reboot into recovery and write 1.33.2003 SPL.
3) DO NOT let it boot into regular system prior to installing 1.33.2003 SPL, or it will overwrite that custom recovery.
4) After installing the good SPL, it would still overwrite the custom recovery by booting into the regular system, but by this time, you will have FASTBOOT, so it doesn't matter.
5) Now do what you want... but once you have a 2.x radio and 1.33.2003, do NOT write any other radio or SPL, and for F SAKES DO NOT RUN ANY NBH FILES EVER NO MATTER WHAT!!!

[Q] After rooting g1 only JFv1.41 adb rom turn ok

Hi,
After successfully rooting a G1 stucked on TIM startup logo without any knowledge of versions with this method :
After downgrading using DREAIMG.NBH to:
Firmware 1.0
Radio 1.22.12.29
Build no. RC7
Amon recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img
and I got old SPL and 1.22.12.29 Radio then I had installed JFv1.41 ADB ROM.
Then I had installed Hard SPL 1.33.2005 & 2.22.19.26I Radio to install CM6.1 or other newer ROMs:
But every time I install new rom via recovery manager (with power + holding home key) and not with fast boot, after restart it stuck in boot logo even I do Wipe data. I have tried with many type of ROMs.
So I reinstall JFv1.5 rom: it works!
Any solution for this issue ?? I want to get newest Rom on G1.
Also my recovery manager become : Android system recovery utility Built: JFv1.41. even I tried to reinstall Amon recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img with terminal and telnet and no chance. (permission denied)
BR
Thanks in Advance.

Assuming you have sdk with fastboot set up properly to run fastboot commands. You should try this. Only if you understand the instructions and dont take shortcuts.

[Q] Flash 2.22.27.08 radio and 1.33.0013d via recovery

Can i flash the new radio(2.22.27.08) and spl(1.33.0013d) via the ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 recovery(or RA 1.7.0)??
I have the files downloaded from a mytouch 3g thread and want to know if i can flash them over the recovery?it says there they are flashable but can i flash them with an HTC Dream??
wipe-flash radio-wipe-flash spl-wipe-flash rom
or will i brick my device??
Or can someone send me a german introduction how to set up fastboot on windows xp??i dont get the english one
Phone: HTC Dream (rooted)
ROM: COS-DS 03042011 2.3.3 Gingerbread
Radio: 2.22.23.02
Spl: 1.33.2005
sdcard: 2gb ; ext/3​

You can flash spl and radio using recovery, but I would *not* suggest you to do so, because the risk of bricking your phone is much higher, than flashing by fastboot.
To setup a fastboot environment on XP you can try to have a look at www.android-hilfe.de There are many people using a windows environment and I suppose they have a setup instruction in German, too.

I agree. To flash it via Fastboot safer. First flash Bootloader and reboot your phone, then flash new radio and reboot phone again.

thanks for reply!i will try it now with fastboot!if it wont work i try it via recovery

Helo
I have a question. I flashed via fastboot the radio(2.22.27.08) and spl(1.33.0013d) and i have a problem with the batery. I want to put back the old radio and spl and the problem is that i cannot flash it via fastboot the mesage is:
failedremote:signature verify fail)
Somebody some ideas

Pls read the OP of ezTerry's 2708-thread (a link can be found in my signature). But I doubt, that the radio is the reason for your battery problems.
Sent from my Gingerbread on Dream using XDA App

Agreed with AndDiSa. It also depending on what ROM you use and the apps that you have on your phone.

I made the change of radio and spl like in the link in the signature and it was ok(Radio: 2.22.27.08, SPL: 1.33.0013d), the flashing was working. The rom is update-cm-6.1.0-RC1-DS-2708port_S.zip because the update-cm-6.1.0-DS-2708port_S.zip is entering in boot loop.
Like you sad that this is probably a radio image problem that's why i tried to flash the old image back with the spl and i had that error message. Also I tried to change my splash image via fastboot(to flash it) and the result is the same

Mine is also bootlooping on COS-DS rom with this radio/hboot combo...probably just a radio error or something

I bricked my G1. I can still access RA recovery, fastboot

Hey guys. I was following this thread word by word. I reached step 2 and completed it. I also checked to see if my device says:
Dream PVT 32b ENG S-off
HBOOT 1.33.2005 (drea10000)
CPLD-4
RADIO 2.22.23.02
APR 20, 2009, 15:30:43
It was exactly the same way. I also installed the radio first, then Spl, then Danger SPL .. so it seemed everything was fine. After I flashed the Danger SPL, I went to start my phone so I can transfer the files from step 3, but my phone is stuck on the Tmobile Screen. Any ideas what went wrong and how can I fix it? I have an SD card reader so I can put files on it etc... Please advice on what to do. Thanks!

i just answered your question in the developers thread, but here is a better place for questions.
you arent bricked, just flash a rom and your good. when you can boot into recovery and or fastboot there is no issue, not even a softbrick really. so download a rom, your radio/spl would work well with super e. to do that download the rom and the gapps onto the root of your sd card, then via recovery scroll down to "flash zip from sd card" flash the rom first and the gapps next. when done reboot the phone, wait 5-10min and your done! easy!

So i don`t have to update to the 2.22.28.25/1.33.0013d to flash the newest ROMs? I would like to have the 2.22.28.25Radio and SPL 1.33.0013d . Can I just flash them after I install the rom? or can I install them now even though I cannot go through the T-Mobile screen?

yes you can change to the latest radio and spl, in fact i would recommend it, then flash a rom over that. id recommend froyobylaszlo or ezgingerbread. but there are other good roms out there, these just happen to be my favorites.

Yeah, you have to install them from fastboot
It's totally fine that you can't get past the T-Mobile screen
That's supposed to happen
After you install the spl/radio flash froyobylaszlo (like demkantor said)
And by the way if you go into recovery (home+power), and click "usb-ms" it'll connect to the computer so you can transfer stuff to the sd card
