Please Help!

Hello
first an foremost i would say im an idiot. i tried to "Micro SD method" my spl back to stock...( i dont not know why i would do such a thing). Now i have stock spl... but no rom. if anyone could please help me i would be forever grateful. i have no clue why i would do something stupid like this. if anyone could please help thatd be great.
it says the following
RUUNBH
Kovs100
SPL-0.72.0000
Microp1-787
microp2- 707
Continue to Upgrade ROM
Please wait...

had the same problem, you still have a rom but your phone keeps hanging in the SPL Screen.
Please search fot mTTy i think i wrote a short instruction in the hard spl thread.
it was something with the : set 14 and set 16 command...
Got it fixed easily with this way...
regards

Try putting a stock rom as kovsimg.nbh on your ms and boot in the spl. Maybe it will recognise the update and flash for you

i tried doing the Micro SD, Official rom. and it all says its loading.
im trying to do this mtty thing but i cant seem to get it working.
meska i cant seem to get the same screen you got, if you could elaborate a little bit more.
so far i have mtty isntalled on windows xp...and a potentially bricked phone. any further steps, please?

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.

Thanks for the info.

Desperately need help, may have bricked my G1...

So I purchased an HTC Dream from a friend and learned all about the wonders of rooting, and found what i thought was going to be a simple step by step guide to upgrade my phone to android 2.1, and was encouraged to use it after reading all the positive comments. I can't post the link to it as I'm a new user, but you can find it by entering "guide on how to root your htc dream to 2.1" into google, the article is on adroidheadlines.com...
I followed it step by step until I got to step 20. After entering:
adb reboot bootloader
i got "error: closed." Being stupid, I looked around on the internet and came across a page that said putting a file called "DREAIMG.nbh" onto the root of my sd card would fix all my problems. Unfortunately for me I did, and then used fastboot which i (think) flashed that rom (i think that's the right lingo, anyway) To my surprise, I turned on my phone to see "T-Mobile G1" on my screen as opposed to the regular "ROGERS" logo. My phone won't move past that screen and won't even boot into recovery or fastboot. I have this gut feeling i've bricked the damn thing and am looking for someone to tell me it isn't so. To clarify, I'm wondering if there is anyone to factory reset the phone or restore it to its original rom somehow while its in this state.
Any help at all would be appreciated, and i can't seem to find anyone else on the internet stupid enough to have made the same mistake, which is never, ever a good sign.

i think you grab the wrong Dreaimg, there is 2 different ones if im not mistaken.. have you tried turning off phone hold camera then power?
If you can get in there then you can use this guide
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1
These are the instructions you should have followed for Rogers..

The op was actively rooting the dream (just using a clone of the instructions with a typo) 'adb reboot bootloader' instead of 'adb shell reboot bootloader'
The wiki page has this correct, the comment on the article the op read indicates the correct one and comments in the thread on XDA indicate if you are stuck all we where trying to do was enter fastboot..
Unable to find any of what I just mentioned op left the guides for rogers dreams and switched to T-Mobile Howtos and got a t-mobile nbh, having already installed danger SPL it could be flashed.
80% of the time this would have left the user with RC29, however 20% of the time system fails to flash correctly, and you need to flash it again. This is made harder since now you have the rainbow SPL (no fastboot and security locked) 1.x radio, and a Rogers CID. Thus need a gold card.
There are many nbh files however; one with the rogers CID can be flashed without a gold card.
http://www.rogers.com/dream-zip
has the current 911 patched nbh file (unzip it).. that will let you start again, but do note nothing went wrong the first time so don't enter and endless loop please.
(Note I recommend you apply it twice to ensure all partitions are flashed correctly, rogers has the partitions layout of dangerSPL, not t-mobile stock SPLs)

Okay, I understand what I did wrong, and I understand how I WOULD flash the file you provided using fastboot, except that my computer no longer recognises my phone when I connect it, and as a result I can't access the phone using adb... Not sure what to do next. Would placing that file on the sd card using an sd reader change anything? Or is that what you meant for me to do?
EDIT: Nevermind, I figured out what I was supposed to do with that file, though the problem remains that my computer no longer recognizes my phone when I connect it via USB. Is this hopeless?
EDIT (again) I tried holding camera while powering up, before it didn't do anything but now the phone has booted to a screen with 4 horizontal coloured bars. the screen reads
"DREA210 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO- 1.22.12.29
Sep2 2008
Serial0"
Not sure if that means anything but I figure it could. Please advise.

That is also how you can flash the rogers 911 nbh from the 0.95.* spl that has no fastboot..
It may fail but it will likely then have 1.33.0010 and the 3.x radio that if you flash it a 2nd time will work.
Once done remove the file from the sdcard

I really appreciate the help but I'm very new at this and I'm not entirely sure of what it is you're asking me to do

So does that mean all i need to do is remove the G1 image from the sd card and put the rogers one on via an sd reader and I'll be okay?

And power on while holding camera it ought to ask you if you want to flash it..

Well I followed all of the instructions and removed the bad image from the sd card and put on the one you provided, turned on the phone, attempted to flash it, and got to a screen that says "Update terminate UPDATE FAIL" ... ideas?

Remove sdcard, boot holding camera, tell me all the text at the top of the screen

"DREA210 PVT 32B RUUNBH
HBOOT - 0.95.0000
CPLD - 4
RADIO - 1.22.12.29

Serial0"
Interestingly enough, when I boot to that screen now (despite having no sd card in the phone anymore) it still switches to the screen it tried to update with before (light blue background, darker blue text) for a split second before switching back... it never did that before, I'm not sure if that means anything.
Again, I really appreciate all the help though I'm starting to consider sending it to someone for JTAG if we can't find a solution

Hem I think rc29 on a gold card will make your phone into a T-Mobile dream that can be rooted with the telnet method.. remember you will have a 1.x radio so you will not want to directly install danger spl.
The big trick IS unless you have another HTC phone making the goldcard

I'm nt sure what you mean by all of that I tried backing up the fles on the sd card and only putting that nbh file on the card and that didnt work. I tried putting it on with all of the other files that were on it before in place of the other nbh that screwed up the phone in the first place... unsure what to do next. Was i supposed to put the "HTC update" file on the sd card without unzipping it? :S I'm so lost. ezterry, you're from toronto and do jtag service right? cause I'm not too far away...

Okay so scrap everything I said before. I decided to investigate the whole goldcard thing and to me it sounds like it's my best bet. I have a buddy who's willing to let me use his HTC Magic to complete the process. I found a guide online here
http://www.droid-den.com/android-guides/android-guide-how-to-create-a-gold-card
It sounds easy enough to follow, but I have a few questions. First, does the app "GoldCard Helper" still exist, because i know google has taken apps off the market before. Secondly, would you recommend this method/ have any advice or maybe a different way of doing things? and thirdly, just using my friends phone to get the CID for the sd card doesn't pose any threat to it at all, right?

[Q] Please help! Stick in boot screen att tilt

I am super new to this. I have 2 att tilts I followed a guide on this site and flashed them both to windows 6.5. both seemed to be working fine. My wifes had no sound though. So I searched and realized hers had an older radio than mine. I followed another guide here to update her radio. (I picked the same one as mine 1.65.21.18) I tried the sim card first and nothing happened so I tried it via sync. It got to 99% and errored. I followed the on screen commands and the second time I got 0% and errored. Now the phone is stuck in the multi color boot screen and nothing I do fixes it. I have tried searching and cant fix it. I dont know what mtty is. Please help!!!

If you are not sure how to use MTTY, please don't use it. This is a powerful tool and if its not used correctly you can definitely bricked your device. Try to read first of what you do.

I have spent hours reading and searching posts the last couple of days. If you have a helpful answer for me feel free to post it! I followed the tuorials exactly. Not to mention I already DID USE MTTY and it worked! Now I need to change the radio... All I need to know is if I need to run hard spl first or jump spl? The tutorial I followed just had me run jump....
PS. I don't need to become an expert I am only updating to sell these phones on ebay. You get more for them with windows 6.5. Once I get them working I am selling them and will never use these tools again. I switched from ATT to Virginusa and an android phone...

Hanging in bootloader after using my goldcard

Hey guys, have a problem with my g1.
Iam from germany, sorry for my english.
Get it with android 1.6 and try to root, with the goldcard method.
so, read my cid with astro, an typed the number backwards in http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard
sure in 2 blocks, and check it twice.
than, use HxD and make my sd (2gb fat 32) to an goldcard.
than copy the dreaimg.nbh (android 1.0?) to sd and try to flash with the bootloader.
so far so good, at the end of flashing:
Update Terminate
UPDATE FAIL
Now, i dont know what to do, restarting the g1 do always restart the prozess, and everytime the same..
if anyone can help me, and undestand german look to http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...nach-goldcard-flash-fail-tun.html#post1625332
