I've got a few questions, hope no one minds answering. If it's a simple case of RTFM then lock the thread and trash.
1. I've rooted and am using the latest JF build but when I go to telnet I can't connect to localhost anymore. Is this normal?
2. I'm running stock SPL and Radio (not too sure what the radio is btw). Is it best I update before flashing anymore roms?
3. I'm wanting to flash to Cyanogen Mod rom, it looks a lot more complex than simply renaming the rom to update.zip then flashing. Is it safe to assume that there is a lot more work to do? (if so a general point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated).
I really appreciate any help.
Thanks
1. I'm not sure as it has been some time since I last used JF's build I'm afriad...
2. Its advisable at the very least to upgrade your radio (look at my signature for a link). You can upgrade your SPL too providing you have flashed the latest radio FIRST and that you are on a PVT motherboard.
Boot into the SPL to find that out (turn off/reboot the mobile, Hold CAMERA+POWER). It should say at the top.
3. To use Cyanogen's ROM its like flashing any other ROM. Just make sure you have the latest Radio FIRST. Also I believe it works fine for non Apps2SD users so no need to partition your SD card etc to use it.
Hope that helps.
Stock SPL? do you mean HARDSpL?

Unless it was updated while rooting it's probably "G1 Original SPL"
Thanks NeoBlade, I'll update the radio and spl tomorrow then probably try and get nandroid running so I've got a backup in case anything goes wrong.
No worries digital, just do your usual pre-checks before flashing the SPL and remember Radio first ^_-
You'll enjoy the new features and performance improvements using the latest cooked ROMs out there. Most of the info is in my signature but you can also flash the new Recovery image too by Cyanogen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523558).
Not only can you create a Nandroid backup from there, you can also restore it too all from your mobile ^_^
Not to be an @ssh*le, but if you root your phone don't you already have the HardSPL? If you follow Koush's guide you were told to flash the HardSPL which isn't the stock SPL at all. Care to shed some light on this?
He could have had the engineering SPL, I remember having that briefly myself in the early days. The main thing is that he just wants to run Cyanogen's ROM so as long as he updates the radio and flashes the ROM without issues it should be fine. Unlike some Hero ROMs it doesn't require the latest SPL to create space for the ROM.
Granted though, its often always nice to have the latest stuff ^_-
Ok well if you DECIDE to update to the latest radio and SPL just go to my guide below and go to the second post. That will tell you how to install the radio and spl updates!
Good luck!
Indeed ^_^ And once that's done, perhaps change the title to SOLVED so people know. We shall have to wait for digital to get back to us about it.
This is the guide I used:
http://haykuro.theiphoneproject.org/?page_id=35
Sorry alritewhadeva:
I'm on the HardSPL so I guess I don't need to bother updating that again. I didn't get to the point where it said to update to the newest radio.
Reading a bit further it also says that I can do a backup easily using adb which is already setup. At some point in the process it must have installed the things needed for nandroid backup. I think it was the recovery.img part.
Thanks for the great link Nephron, I used it before to setup adb on my netbook (running win7 on my main machine).
Before I flash the latest radio is it safe to do this *after* updating the spl?
Thanks for all the great help, I really appreciate it.
As a thumb of rule, always flash the radio first before the SPL and the ROM.
Tell us how it goes ^_^ If you've managedto do it, could you please edit the title then to add SOLVED? Good luck.
Soo do you have to flash the radio and SPL everytime you want to flash a rom??? i already have the latest radio, i just want to make sure i dont make a mistake

No you don't. Only once... then kind of keep an eye on the forum to see if better radio or SPL comes along. So far I had to update my radio once. What recovery image do you have (home+power), is it still JF1.43? You should update that to CM 1.4, you get a lot more flexibility with that... read up on it in development forum. All in all, unless you plan to install Hero anytime soon (and I personally don't recommend it, too slow and buggy) you should be good with (in that very order)
1. Flashing newest RADIO (Haykuro has it in the link you provided, only need to do it once and you already did it!)
2. Flashing HardSPL (you already did that too! no need to do it again)
2. Updating your Recovery Image (once more, this only needs to be done once)
After that - flash any rom you feel like at any time you feel like doing it.
Hope that helps, good luck!
I agree with everything borodin1 said. If you're on a 1.5 ROM you really should have the new radio already, but you can always go back and flash it. Afterwards you'll want hard SPL or haykuro's. Haykuro's is what you'll need for most HTC based ROMs (Hero, Rogers). Most people brick when flashing Haykuro's ROM because they don't read. Aslong as you have the new radio and a PVT phone (go to the bootloader - home + camera - and it should say PVT) you will be fine.
Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum. So...Hi
Anyways, I've got a problem with my Rogers Htc Dream. I was trying to root it and was following a guide on youtube. Then i realized rooting for T-Mobile G1s and Rogers HTC Dreams were different. Now i notice when i turn on my phone it shows a T-Mobile screen instead of the regular Rogers loading screen. I guess i installed the T-Mobile firmware on my phone. I checked in settings the current firmware im running is now 1.0. So, i'm wondering if anyone can help me put back on rogers firmware on my phone and also link me to a Rogers HTC dream rooting guide. Thanks in advance.

I'm abit scared to follow that guide because there seems to be some ifs about it, like it says avoid anything that writes to the kernel, otherwise you're dead. And it says you require a EBI1, how do I check if I have EBI1
"The Recovery Flasher utility will only work if you're on a version of Android that Rogers/HTC hasn't yet fixed.
If you are at the recovery screen, move on to the next step."
Well how do I know if they haven't fixed it? And if we can't use fastboot to flash images, as Rogers prevents it, then if this procedure goes south we're stuck? I can verify the MD5 of the SPL update ZIP 20 times, but that's not going to guarantee that when I flash it it's not going to brick my phone
edit: I booted with camera and power and it says hboot is 1.33.0009, does this mean I don't have to risk bricking when I root? The tutorial is for 1.33.0010.
I think that it makes it sound a bit worse than it is. I have never tried it but from what I have read if you boot a EBI0 kernel with a EBI1 radio it will just freeze. You will just have to pull out the battery, boot into recovery and then flash a EBI1 kernel on top.
Rogers is bad for releasing updates for their devices. All their Android devices still run cupcake, even the new LG Eve. This is to our advantage because none of the rogers firmwares are fixed. You can give the Recovery Flasher a try because the worst that will happen if you have a fixed rom is nothing.
If you have a 0009 spl you can follow the guide here to update your spl and recovery then start following the guide at Installing HTC System Image. You could also just use the method on the wiki for 0010, I cant see any reason that wouldn't work.
My phone is perfectly fine after the gaining root. So far not much of a difference, except for the virtual keyboard and two more screens and a few more apps and options.

I really want to root so I can install applications to the memory card, and to get 1.6, but I'm really really really scared that it's going to break. I got the phone from ebay, so I'm pretty sure if it breaks I'm out $300 bucks. I'm really at a cross road here!
Ya i was kinda scared the first time too. Then I just bit the bullet and did it. Try to read through the forums as much as you can to learn as much as you can about how your phone works. Also make sure that you understand each step completely and what it is doing to your phone. This is what I did and it made me feel a lot better about the process.
The main risk is flashing the radio and spl once you are done that the chance of bricking is almost none of not none. If you have any questions that you can't find answers to by yourself just ask and me or someone else on the forum will answer them for you.
Yeah, if you're on the Rogers HTC dream, just follow the Rogers heres your real root thread, and all the guides he post. And follow it while filling in the rest with logic.
You'll probably get lost like I did, don't be afraid to ask around.
does anyone know the warranty if it bricks?
Hey everyone, thanks for the help. I went through with the root and everything seems to be working fine. I can make phone calls and everything. I'm running a hero rom. The only thing thats different is it shows a T-Mobile screen instead of Rogers. I don't think thats a big deal, is it?
I just got a replacement G1 from Tmobile, for free bless their hearts, cause my headset is going to the crapper. I'm trying to update my raido to the 2_22_19_26I, as I did before with my first G1, so I can install the DangerSPL. I have tried with the stock recovery, Cyan's 1.4, and Amon-RA's 1.5.2 to install it, and each time, it goes about the update process as normal, asks me to reboot, I see the picture of the chip and then it takes me back to recovery.
Each time, though, I'm still at the 1_22_12_29. I check by turning on the phone, then Settings --> About Phone, and also by going into the SPL, still at the 1.
Any ideas?
EDIT: also I'm using the radio on HTC's developer website, so it's legit.
Uh, i'm not XDA police but i'm pretty sure this goes in Q&A.
You need a custom recovery before you can even upgrade the radio but are you on 1.5 doing the one-click?

Can you load roms since you said you tried recoveries?
I can load everything, ROM's, SPL's, different recoveries, boot.img's.
I've tried updating the radio before I upgrade the SPL, after, with a stock recovery, or with Amon-RA's/Cyanogens. I don't know why it's not working.

Donut roms(1.6) dont need the Haykuro or Hard SPL you can load roms with the one you have now.If you want to use hero or eclair then you'll need the radio and SPL.
Also if the radio is anything like the spl, don't use the trackball while flashing it
Another user and I, have this same issue with no solution, we have threads in dream q&a and dream general. I also used recovery flasher to gain root when I was on cupcake. My radio is older than yours though =/ if you can't find the threads ill post the links tmw, as I'm abt to sleep now..good luck hopefully we can all find a solution, or at least identify the source of the problem..
not sure if this will be of much help, but you can always try to revert back to the stock firmware using the dreaimg.nbh file and stock spl.
i had a friend who, like with your radio, couldn't flash the more recent custom recoveries.
whatever the reason was, i suggested that he just "unroot" and go back to android 1.0, stock spl, stock radio , whatever, and just re-root from there

I apologize to sound rude, but I've been with XDA and the G1 rooting community since 1.0. I know these are good, helping tips and guides, but I've tried to explain that I've done everything like that already, gone back to stock, gone up to cyan's 4.2.13, gone back to stock, then up to a stock 1.6, even with the stock updates, when it says writing radio, radio doesn't update.
your replies are appreciated, just not really relevant or helpful.
I was setting up a friends g1 and same thing, he got the phone from warranty exchange and I was able to downgrade, gain root, change recovery image and flash enom's rom with no issue. But upon boot up I saw his radio image was .29 and tried to update the radio. I kept getting something like "line 2: getting prop(device = dream)"
So I started all over rc29, root, recovery image and every time I try to update radio, same issue. Even when use Cyan's method and try the developer's image with radio update, it fails.
In the end, since enom's rom can use any radio, he was ok with it. But really i wanted to get his g1 on the latest radio image. I feel your pain as I researched the errors as well and couldn't find anything. Good luck.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm going through, except it's not throwing up any errors or anything. it updates, says "writing radio image...", reboots with the HTC symbol, and goes back to Recovery and Formats the CACHE like always. *sigh* maybe T-mobile found a way to mess with us after all?
Just a question, when u rooted, did u do it the old way or new way. And by old way that I used, was the DREAIMG.nbh, then on home screen the type cd /sdcard blah blah...
Hi all.
I had recently flashed cm6 rc2 without the radio via rom manager comming straight from froyo. While using the ROM today, I noticed a lot of processes crashed all at once including acore.
When I rebooted, I was stuck in a boot loop. I wiped stuff and did a nandroid restore to get back to my stock froyo, just fine.
Was it the radio that caused it (edit: seems like rom manager may have snuck it in). Since I flashed cm6 from ROM manager, I thought it would prompt me if I needed the radio. What went wrong?
The radio on the first post of the CM6 RC2 thread is the required radio and must be flashed separately if you are not already using that radio. If you are on stock froyo you most likely are.
Radio Firmware: 4.0.6.00.12_7 (FROYO RADIO, REQUIRED!)
Check this by going to: Settings - About Phone - Baseband version
If you are not on the correct radio you can flash by downloading the zip on the first page of the CM thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722798
If you update again try wiping and a reboot into the mod before your nand restore. Some common issues/fixes are in the link below.

Good luck to you.
Please read the instructions next time instead of posting a new topic.
Edit: Actually, after reading your other post, I'd say, stop what you're doing, reflash to stock, and please don't do anything more. I can see you'll be a headache for all the other users in the future as you refuse to read first then ask questions. Everything you need to know is in the first post of the CM6 RC2 thread and the wiki that is linked within that post. If you can't handle that much, please do us all a favor and don't flash custom roms.
I'm waiting for the "My phone iz bricked now" thread to arise...In the right forum next time I hope!
It's lame topics like this that get budding roms pushed to the back of the list.
chesh is right though, you need to learn by reading first. The search button is your friend.

Mind you. I read those instructions 1 million times. I chose not to flash it because a website said you only need it if you are comming from froyo. I had also seen a video of someone running cm6 without the radio. So I thought I was fine

So are you saying that the 4.0.6.00.12_7 is the radio needed to use cm6 or does it mean I need to flash the radio

4.0.6.00.12_7 is the Froyo radio that is required for using CM6 or Froyo roms. Froyo will work with the earlier radio, but you'll have issues with camera, video camera, MMS, SMS, and a whole slew of other things. There is another radio floating about that's from the Korean version of the Nexus Ones, and has a higher version then the initial Froyo radio, but at this time, doesn't seem to change anything. So, the way you check which radio you already have (as most Froyo roms don't come with the radio, you're required to flash it on your own) is to go into Settings -> About Phone and check what version of the radio you have listed in there. If it is anything other then the above version, then flash the above version.
Follow this guide to the "T" and you won't have any issues. And, BTW: this guide is linked in Cyanogen's original post in the CM6 RC2 thread. (Please visit the CyanogenMod Wiki for step-by-step installation walkthroughs and tons of other useful information.) http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_Nexus_One
Strangely enough, i have that radio even though i didn't flash it. is it possible it came from rom manager when i installed cm6 or could it have been there when i got froyo

turns out i have the radio, even though i didnt flash it (unless its not the baseband you mean) i think rom manager snuck it in- could this be possible
if you flashed froyo previously then the radio got updated with that full ROM.
one more thing, for some reason the clockwork recovery keeps dissapearing. it changes to an exclamation mark in a white triangle with a mini green android. it just dosent like me!
Once again, see my previous post where I linked you to the Cyanogen Wiki with complete, step-by-step instructions of how to install all of this manually. I would suggest the manual route, as it seems you need the practice with the commands.

what im saying is that every recovery image i use disappears after i have been in the recovery image more than once Even Amon ra's recovery!
Which means you haven't done some part of the process right. I remember hearing about this once before. Just start from the very beginning of those instructions (including unlocking bootloader). Not going to harm anything if it's already been done.

Are you sure. I searched slot and I didn't find anything about recovery images reseting. I am in need of help.
One thing about the rooting process, all I did was unlock the bootloader and install su permissions. It's hard to find detailed and I mean detailed instructions on rooting a nexus one and installing a recovery image.
do a wipe
i did everything again except unlock the bootloader again because i am not sure of the result of that if you have already done it. do you think a factory restore would do the trick in setting or do i need to http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Opera...-Nexus-One-to-shipping-Rom/m-p/292051#U292051

I fixed it differently from how you said I should do it even though I tried to do what you said.
Also. I OWN at WW2... you have no idea. Being cocky doesn't fix anything.
Also I know how it feels when there is a new generation of android hackers joining the community. I was with the iphone hacking community from the start. I miss the days when hacking was harder. Don't start saying I can't follow instructions on the rooting process because it was a nandroid restore that stuffed everything up. I rerooted twice just to make sure.
I hate being taken as a noob. Everyone starts somewhere.

Hey guys, I have an old rooted G1 (FW 1.6, CM Mod 4.2.11.1) and I need to get it back to Vanilla like today in order to sell it to my friend tomorrow before he buys from someone else. I use my N1 now and it's not rooted so I forgot how to do things on my G1 and stuff, mod-wise. So can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to get my G1 back to normal? I also want to wipe it so none of my information and stuff remains, just as if it were brand new.
Thanks!

I've never done it, but I would guess you would need a stock rom.
Try this link, and maybe the unlockr.com

Be sure to read the comments because some people had problems. It's a bit ominous that there is a link to unbrick your phone.

You can flash the dreamimg.nbh to the g1 to bring it back on to stock and it will remove every setting on it. It will be like a new phone from factory. It will be on Android 1.1, but the OTA will hit soon to upgrade it to 1.6.
Here is the thread..Unroot Phone
DO NOT write any stupid NBH files.
Ensure that the SPL is version 1.33.2003 and the RADIO is version 2.22.23.02.
If not, write them using FASTBOOT. If the current SPL is a 0.95 version, first write the 1.33.2003 SPL via RECOVERY, then fastboot flash the radio.
Next: Go to developer.htc.com/adp.html and download the recovery image. Write it from recovery.
Wipe userdata and cache.
This will leave the phone is a STOCK/OEM condition with root available to ADVANCED users, and with a full proper engineering bootloader which will only be noticed by advanced users. No sense being a jackass and locking the thing out from the buyer.
Thanks guys.
What do you mean by "do not write any NBH" files. Will the link that G1Sanju posted work lbcoder? I remember back then we would have flash the old .nbh and make sure the Radio (and SPL?) were the same? And what exactly do you mean by write?

Hey, Thanks man...I never thought of this one....Ya this will also achieve the purpose, We flashed this recovery for CM4...but there were some issues regarding T-mobile specific applications as the model number was for dev phone rather then T-Mobile G1, I don't know how its right now..
Hmm, so what shall I do then?
Btw, the spacebar on the keyboard only works like half the time. I don't even know why.. so entering commands in the Terminal or whatever would be kind of difficult. Would I need to do that? haha
