Advantages of 1.33.2005?

I'm wondering if there are any advantages to having the Haykuro SPL 1.33.2005
I've done some research and found out how to flash it(yes I have PVT), but not much information on if its worth risking it. I know it would allow me to run Hero and whatnot and Cyanogens?

You can run Cyan on HardSPL or even the stock SPL. You only need the Haykuro SPL for more internal storage space for the OS in the phone, which allows for bigger ROMs to be used. It will also give you adequate space for whatever you may want on your phones internal memory

Well I am running HardSPL atm, but Hero kind of intrigues me and I wouldnt mind trying it out. But if really doesn't help out that much, I guess I'm going to stick with my setup right now. ty B-man0007

Its not a big risk. If you have everything done correctly, it should work without a hitch, I've had to install it twice because I've had to re-root my phone once after flashing RC29. Its no big deal really. You only read more of the one with broken phones cuz they're the only ones who say anything. The vast majority of people who do not brick their phones just don't announce it so publicly, but if you look at most people's sigs, you'll see that they also have Haykuro's SPL.

I thought if you tryed to downgrade from this SPL that it would brick your phone? and about the sig thing, yes I have noticed that as well, and I kind of want to jump on that boat.

Its only if you downgrade the radio that a brick could occur (not sure how upgrades will affect it, which is why I haven't upgraded yet lol)

You sir make a good point, I think I'll be staying at the HardSPL then.

If you flash RC29, it replaces your radio and SPL so it doesn't brick your phone. From there you merely reflash the radio, then the SPL. Not sure about radio upgrades... I don't even see a radio thread that most other phones have, which is why I'm not so worried about upgrading radios, I've stuck with this radio for... months, which is longer than I've ever stuck with a radio on my Touch Diamond. Still, its your choice, but... TouchFLO is very pretty...

Stop teasing me!! lol Let's see how much money I win at poker tonight and that will decide

Haykuro's SPL is my favorite, because all that extra space makes things run much faster, on top of giving more room to Cache's if you have Apps2SD. Big time themes also fit onto it, and if you follow instructions closely, should have no problem installing it.

I only tease you because I'm helping you. Once you go JACHero, you don't go back... its just so pretty... *drools*... Unless you're a speed demon freak in which case, as lurk said above me, also speeds up your phone when you use Cyanogens

I've NEVER been able to get any JacHERO build to go anywhere near fast...which is a bummer, it definitely is very pretty . It should speed up your phone for any matter, just because of the extra room. It's like RAM on your computer; the more you have of it, the more space there is to use and make things faster!

I'm running JacHero 2.5 w/o Rosie and my friend is using Cy and he was the one that pointed out myne may be even faster and he on Cy 3.6.7.2. That was from his mouth not mine. Not to mention There's now a go around to make sure you get EVERY text message on Hero so you never have to miss another one again

so if i was to flash the danger SPL with what im running right now, i have the 261 radio, it wont brick? then i will have to reflash my cyanogens right? and just out of curisoity i know the rom doesnt need swap but does the spl?

If you have the new radio and a PVT board you should be fine. Boot up holding camera and power and check if you have a PVT board. The new spl allows you to install roms like Rogers, Hero and the Sapphire. So unless you want to change from cupcake builds you will be fine without it, but it is nice to have. So yeah just make sure you have the new radio and you will need to reflash your current build afterwards. Good luck!

Yep I do have the PVT board, so I know I should be good with everything, ill just read the Fix the SPL thread or how to install in jacheros thread. and if anything happens....well GG OTA update yesterday?

you can still brick your phone even if you do everything right

It's hard to say how much risk there really is, but Cyanogen bricked his replacement phone trying to flash the "Danger" SPL about an hour after unboxing it and um, the guy knows what he's doing, you know?
I flashed it within a couple hours after Haykuro first posted it and luckily didn't have a problem, but if I had waited until everyone started bricking I might not have been so eager. It's definitely a roll of the dice, but that's part of the fun, right?

I'm actually in the middle of backing up my SD card and setting up another SD card with the SPL update on it then I'm going to flash it. put the cyanogen rom on my partitioned card and hope everything goes smooth, ill report back when I'm done. Anyone know how to flash my EXT2 partition so i can start fresh?

haha ya as soon as i heard cyan bricked it i wouldn't touch the dangerspl. thats when i stopped reading all the threads to insure i didn't get a brick lol
but he did flash the dangerspl after people said that it wouldnt flash with his recovery just to test it... so theirs still a chance i might do it lol
please note that there are apparently different versions of the 26I radio. Make sure you flash the one haykuro posted for safetys sake

Should I wipe before I flash the Radio and stuff from haykuros google page?

How to get something like app2sd without rooting your phone?

Can this be done if so how?

nope. root only.

Like he said, its just not possible. The things that need to be modified reside on root-only access folders. So without root access, we aren't allowed to touch these directories and files required to move everything to the sdcard. Its one the incentives of rooting your phone.

Just ROOT, its super easy great vid on youtube its a 3 part series check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9Aff5DXBBw
its totally worth it

why wouldn't you want root? just wondering

Looks hard

Its not hard at all. infact its rather simple . just read and re-read the guides and if all else fails watch the videos.

Perfect guide by Koush

Thanks for the guide. Question is instead of using JF's build how would I modife the guide to install [ROM]*New 1.76.61.3 build* Drizzy's Touchflo3D Hero - v2.5 "July/27 *5:17pm*"
I was using the instructions from the youtube video provided to me earlyer with download.

Instead of throwing JF's on your card as update.zip just put the hero 3d on as update.zip and flash. Have to make sure to have the new spl and new radio if your going to do any hero build. And read drizzy's page to see the requirements for setting up your sd card. Easy stuff.

Is the spl and radio all the same from any source?

You need the new radio and spl to load hero.
http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
Here is the radio and new spl. If your going to do this make sure you FLASH RADIO FIRST and then spl, otherwise you'll end up with a paperweight. After you flash the spl you phone will stay stuck at g1 screen. You will then need to take your card out and put it in a card reader and load up your rom and flash and you done.

honestly man, if your rooting/flashing for the first time, i would go with a stable build for a little while that you wont have to partition, linux-swap, etc. at least for a little while just to get used to it...
i know hero is tempting and the devs have done an AMAZING job of optimizing the hell out of it. but if you looked at the threads to root and thought that was tricky then just get used to it for a while before moving to non-stable/experimental type roms.

Before I hack....

I just have one question before i start hacking. I have a 4gb card, but im about to get a 16gb card soon. You think I should wait until i get the 16gb card and hack it??? And would the phone still be rooted if I were 2 change the memory sticks??? Would i have to partition the 16 gb card also??

Waiting is up to u. As for any memory card yes u should partition them. If u can get a class 6 card its faster so it will help reduce the lag. If u dnt wait it will be hard without unbuntu to pull the apps and dalvik off the partition

Also no if if u switch the sd after root u will not lose it.

Edit: I'm late.

ok, soo im going to wait. any recommended roms i should try???

try reading a how-to,
cynagon is usually the rom to go with,
i think there is a database of all the roms that compares them too

When I try to format the disk on my computer, it disconnects and it says "There is no disk in drive G, enter a disk and try again". Also, when i connect my G1 to my computer, it says "Scan and Fix", or "Continue without scanning" and when i try to Scan and fix, it also disconnects the G1. What seems to be the problem??

Can't i just format the card using a card reader, then move onto rooting it???

Just do it in windows with it inside your phone...
[EDIT:] Didn't read enough. Yes you should be able to use a card reader to format.

Ok, this is my last concern, and i will stop bugging you guys. Soo far, i've successfully rooted the phone, flashed the radio(it now says 2.22.19.26I), and i flashed SPL. Everything with the phone is fine. My question is, do i have to flash the radio and spl everytime i want to flash a rom??? or do i flash the spl and then flash the rom???

never mind guys. im officially running cyanogen on the phone. looks good soo far. thanks 4 all the help

If you've already flashed the Radio/Spl, then all's you need to concern yourself with is roms, since the Radio/Spl stay even after the recovery alt w. You are done flashing the Radio/Spl, until Donut?

Which SPL?

which spl is the best to use?
im rooting a new g1

I don't know why you would ask seeing as you have experience with modding already.
HardSPL if you don't want hero
Danger SPL if you want hero.

as long as you have the new radio it won't brick, if you're using cyanogens recovery remember to physically press alt-s, home+back, don't use the trackball. That goes for radio and spl, not roms.

i was gonna switch to cyans rom from haykuros when the next stable version came out

The recovery may be effected by the C&D because of nandroid. Cyanogen removed everything until the details are provided by google.

G1 won't boot, can get to recovery and SPL

Hey all, flashed a variety of ROMs and SPLs during the 12 month lifespan of my G1 with no problems.
This afternoon I updated to the Danger SPL from Haykuros sapphire googlecode page, and I updated to Amon_RA's recovery image. Both home+camera and home+back boot to where I would expect..
But the phone itself won't boot. Hangs on the G1 screen.
Any ideas all?
Thanks

Ok so I've tried booting without my SD card, and it still hangs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618577
I've also swapped back to the old Hard SPL which looks like so:
DREA110 PVT 32B
HSPL10.95.3000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
The ROM im using is "TheOfficial DONUT TMO US/EU, ADP & AOSP" :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538456

I'm starting to think that the ext partition on my SD card (cheap transcend which came with the G1) is foowked.
Whenever I run any kind of nandroid stuff, it fails.
Tried a variety of SPL/recovery combinations (ie, the ones I had this morning) and no love. Even a wipe or three makes no difference.
Perhaps I should just reconfigure the SD card and update to manup's build.

Have you tried reformatting the card and not partation the card after you flash a rom?

So I've updated to Danger SPL, wiped and partitioned using AmonRA's recovery.
And it worked!
