Long time reader, first time poster (intimidated in the past)! Hi guys!
So here you go guys, another one who ventured into modding his phone. Seems like following the steps wasn't really going to seal it for me so I'll explain what I did and you tell me what I did wrong.
- Installed Eclipse and Android SDK and fastboot tool on my comp.
- Followed Charrion's guide to one-click rooting my device also using haykuro's root kit
*Followed his steps BUT I actually made a nandroid backup and saved it on my computer.
- Installed the latest cyanogen ROM (from their wiki) on the root of the sdcard and renamed it update.zip
After that, I followed haykuro's guide down to the first commands (after putting the radio and recovery.img on the sdcard from haykuro's give me root)
Used fastboot to input the following comands:
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then when I try to reboot into recovery mode, I get stuck on the Rogers screen. I can still access the fastboot and when the device is plugged in through usb it shows fastboot usb on the top left but I just can't access the recovery menu.
Can someone help me? Just getting used to this forum, sorry for not following any procedures. I did read the forum rules and searched the forums. If a thread already exist, I just didn't search well enough.
Thank you
UPDATE:
I use the command prompt to communicate with my Dream in fastboot usb mode and I get the following errors:
C:\Users\Steven>fastboot erase boot
erasing 'boot'... OKAY
C:\Users\Steven>fastboot erase recovery
erasing 'recovery'... OKAY
C:\Users\Steven>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
error: cannot load 'recovery.img'
I may have a bricked phone! Keeping faith in the hopes that one of you comes and saves me!
New development!
My problem was of course a noob problem! Charrion's post on another thread helped making it clear. My .img were in the same folder as fastboot but I had to specify the entire path for it to work!
Anyways got into the recovery menu and now flashed the latest cyanogen rom to my device but now it's still stuck on the Rogers screen!
Any idea?
To help, here's the info on the fastboot screen:
Dream PVT 32B ENG S-Off
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA21000)
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.261
There!
Thank you in advance!

Hello, I have this problem with my T-mobile G1
followed this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9055790&postcount=1
to install 2708+ enabled kernel
everything goes fine so far i have:
DREAM PVT 32B SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.33.0013d DREA11000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.27.08
installed RA dream 1.7.0 according to instructions but everytime i try to enter recovery im stuck on G1 logo and cant get there any solutions?
yeah tried search didnt find any answers...
did following:
1) Take a nandroid backup of your current rom (mandatory if you are trying to move the current rom to the new radio/SPL) to simplify things put any update.zips you expect to need on the SD card now
2) enter fastboot mode
3) flash the files and other operations via fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img
fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.27.08.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.0013d.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
now you will see you have an s-on boot loader with 1.33.0013d as its version
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Does fastboot still work? Can you re-"fastboot" recovery?
You did a search? Honestly?
Anyway go back to EzTerrys 2708 thread and try reading the OP, only this time read it properly.
i have the latest radio and hboot for G1 (check sig) and in fastboot mode it says S-on.. now im having trouble flashing a custom splash screen via fastboot and i read somewhere that the S-on may be why.. do i need to downgrade to engineering spl to use fastboot flash method? I keep getting a... <bootloader> checking signature failed! in cmd... but i do have fastboot enabled and working properly..
Did you follow ezterry's on how to install the spl and radio:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139? did u follow these steps for installing the spl?
== Installing ==
(Note: Please Do read the information on the SPL below before actually installing)
1) Take a nandroid backup of your current rom (mandatory if you are trying to move the current rom to the new radio/SPL) to simplify things put any update.zips you expect to need on the SD card now
2) enter fastboot mode
3) flash the files and other operations via fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img
fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.27.08.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.0013d.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
now you will see you have an s-on boot loader with 1.33.0013d as its version
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
please remember while fastboot erase works; fastboot flash does not so be careful *not* to remove the recovery
4) Boot into recovery
5) install a system from backup or as a fresh rom some options are:

You have a perfected SPL installed on your phone (0013d), so you do not have full fastboot support and you are not able to flash a custom splash screen.
If you want to downgrade, flash the orange-xxx.nbh file from Terry's thread (can be found in my signature) and after that you will have an engineering SPL. With this you should be able to flash a custom splash screen. After that you can go back to 1.33.0013d/2.22.28.25 ... everything can be done using fastboot, so your risks to brick your phone are very(?) limited ...
yeah i figured it out thanks guys!! had to temp flash the engineering spl to do what i wanted.. than jus re flashed 0013d everything is all set thank you guys though!!!
I accidentally removed the recovery... and still having same issues with S-ON with HBOOT-1.33.0013d.... need help getting recovery back on my phone. have new radio too.

You (as I see was indicated in the thread before) go to the 2708+ kernel/SPL/Radio thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
This has all the information on the use of 2708/2835 radios and the 1.33.0013d SPL including a section on what to do if you loose access to both the system and recovery in the '== Important Information about 1.33.0013d ==' section [Its important to read that section anyway if you are using 1.33.0013d]
If you still have access to boot, just use flash_image or rom manager to restore your recovery image.
Hi guys,
I need your help, I have a Nexus One, with Cyanogenmod 7 and Clockwork recovery and decided to give ICS a try so I have been trying to install TexasIce and can't install the recovery.
First I installed Blackrose using the manual method, because the blackrose.exe will stop at "waiting for device".
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot boot go35.lol (checked and it is the right .lol for my previous HBOOT 0.35.0017)
then, at the big frozen X:
fastboot flash hboot hboot_brcrust_210-8-218-ICS.nb0
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and the phone reboots to hboot and I can see the
* BlackRose......
TexasICS-210/8/218
NEXUSONE PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-7.35.5017 (PV9910000)
MICROP-0b15
TOUCH.....
RADIO-5.12-00-00
Then choose Fastboot and confirm with the trackball, plug the USB cable and it shows FASTBOOT USB, and "fastboot devices" finds the phone.
The problem comes then when I try
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img
It shows:
sending 'recovery' (3058 KB).
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 0.017s
And the phone is frozen, I have to remove the cable and battery.
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img also fails, and trying with RA recovery fails too.
¿What can I do?
If it helps, I have only been able to flash the new blackrose for jellybean found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762790
BTW I am trying without sim or microSD card inserted

When you try to change partition layout between HBOOTs, you need to format (a.k.a erase) all partitions except SD card before flashing a new recovery or custom ROM. Try this:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
Then flash new recovery then flash the custom ROM. And, BTW, don't use CWM because it could corrupt your SD card. Use either Amon_RA or 4EXT recovery.
Oh sorry I forgot to reply again!!
I finally managed to fix it. Somehow, the recovery and system got corrupted and won't boot. I could only boot to hboot or fastboot, and trying to flash anything would result on locking the phone. I could fix it by getting standard google image and putting it as PASSIMG.zip on the root of the SD so hboot restored the phone except blackrose hboot. Then the phone booted again and I could flash a recovery normally from fastboot
hi, i've spent days searching for a soln. frm previous post but could'nt find one...i followed d instructions on this link wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod to root and flash cm6. I succesfully flashed radio to 2.22.23.02, then flashed dangerSpl 1.33.2005..then i went on to flash cm6 and it installed without a flaw and i got welcome to cyanogenMod 6..then i flashed gapps succesfuly...bt d problem came when i did d final reboot, d phone went to bootloader automaticaly(i don't knw hw) and installed d dreaimg.nbh file i used to downgrade and root earlier and left in d root of my sdcard(foolish me) and askd me to reboot..i did and was stuck in d t-mobile g1 screen. I can't get into recovery by presn dwn both home+power bt can get into bootloader (camera+power)..nw on my fastboot screen i saw
Dream pvt 32b eng s-off
Hboot-1.33.2005 (drea*****)
Cpld-4
Radio-1.22.12.29
Apr 20 2009
....i can also get fastboot to communicate with d phone tru cmd prompt on windows..
Apologies 4 d lenghty tale bt i seriously need help..tnx in anticipation.☺
Well at least you see your mistake, right now,because you flashed the dreaimg.nbh you lost your recovery and have an incompatible radio/SPL combo. This may turn out to be a brick but you said you still have fastboot commands so hopefully your OK.
you will want to boot into fastboot and flash the radio from there (.02)
You will need to extract the radio from the .zip you downloaded from the cyanogen wiki, rename in radio.img
Now from cmd type
fastboot devices
If you see yours proceed,
Now type
fastboot -w
fastboot flash radio radio.img
Now type
fastboot reboot-bootloader
If your good then you will see your radio version will be back to where it should be
Now get the recovery.img you got from the wiki
go back to fastboot mode and type
fastboot devices
(Make sure your there again)
fastboot -w
(I'm a wipeaholic)
fastboot flash recovery.img
Now reboot to recovery
If this doesn't all work post back and we can see what else you need to do
Oh and if you don't know how to get fastboot running search around a bit there are tons of tutorials
Oh, one more, remove the dreaimg.BH from sdcard or at least rename it

thanks boss!! Followed your instructions and successfully installed cm6 without probs...my first andriod upgrade....tnx again man..+1 added
I got a old g1 today it looks like it may need a new battery will have to get one before I flash.
It has CM 5 on it. It looks like before I flash any new roms I may need to update the hboot or radio ?
hboot
1.33.2005
cpld-4
radio
2.22.23.02
that's what there at now thanks. All the roms I looked at dont support 1.33.205 or am I wrong I would like to go to cm 7 what do I need to do?
All ways safe to double check before I start flashing thanks much
i flashed recovery 2.5.07
I tryed a rom that side it would support my hboot
it just got stuck at g1 screen did not make it to spash used recovery to flash back to cm 5 any suggestions
id suggest using amonra's recovery for the g1, in my opinion its the best to date. also consider upgrading your radio/spl. the extra 14mb of ram is huge for the g1 and most new roms require it. all the info to do this can be found in the forum, but if you need further help feel free to ask.

Ok i figured I just use fastboot? I have a little fear of bricking it. Can you link a good guide flashing radio and hboot I have seen 3 or 4
well im in the process of writing a fastboot guide for the vision in another forumHERE although it is not finished.
the commands are the same just dont use the links to get the recovery, radio etc from that thread :good:
get the recovery image from amonra
and follow my 4ext recovery instructions
next will be flashing the radio and spl
this is a .zip and and you will need to extract the images
once you have everything ready to roar here are the fastboot commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img
fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.27.08.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.0013d.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
you can just copy and paste each line one after another in cmd
and for more info go HERE
good luck, between my guide and ezterys you should have more than enough info, of course feel free to ask more questions

thanks much dont need a guild as I have fastboot set up all ready in a dir just looking for files to flash the links and guids were very old dating from 2009-2011 I was lost thanks much
great, then all the files needed are in my last post. just be sure to flash in that order as the .13d spl is not compatible with your current radio, and as a heads up once you change to this hboot you will no longer be able to use most fastboot commands as this is a hacked bootloader and isn't perfect in that sense. erasing partitions will still work just fine though

All is well now thanks much thats why I love fast boot.
