Stuck on bootloader!!! - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

k...i have a rogers dream which was rooted and was running cyanogen... i was trying to unroot my phone because of the rogers 911 update as they turned off my data and required new update for data to start again.... as the phone was rooted...update wouldnt install so i thought i should unroot install update and then root again..... but then in the process i used the DREAIMG.nbh and made my phone a t-mobile g1 instead of the rogers dream.... but i was stuck on the activation process as my data wasnt connecting... so i tried using another rogers RC30 dreaimg.nbh but the update would fail as i found out later that rc30 is just an update and needs rogers rc29 on the phone first....now i m stuck on the bootloader as i try to put in the regular T-mobile DREAIMG.nbh file but i get a not allow error.....so please help guys... as i am stuck with no phone...

spl update problem

hi i was able to do the hero update once before, but now im back to jf1.51
now i want to go back to hero and everytime i try to update the spl i get stuck in fastboot mode and i have to start all over again starting with rc29
i've tried wiping first and i've tried not wipping, everybody says its suppose to get stuck on g1 screen and then do the hero update, but mine always gets stuck on fastboot...but remember i was succesful the very first time i did all this! I am very frustrated please help!!!
Read my man. Read.
Not trying to be a a$$ but you need to find the Hero build you're wanting to put on and read the very first page of the thread. It will tell you all you need to do to flash the ROM.
I will say that you will most likely need the lastest radio, SPL and it wouldn't hurt to get Cyanogen's 1.4 recovery image.
All of these are readily available probably in the first three pages in the dev section.
trust me i've done all of those things you said i got all the latest updates, like i said i did it before, but now its not letting me, i have read read read....believe me im not retarted, i had it working once before, now ill tell u again after updating the new radio it says to rebbot so i do...then it takes me back to the recovery screen and at the bottom it says "formatting cache..." so i reboot again as im told to do and then the only screen i can get up is the fastboot loader. but if i try to install the new rom before i reboot the second time it takes me to the htc logo but loops!?!
Are you flashing Drizzy's Hero? If so, did you do your wipes and reformat your ext3?
Ya first I put jac2.63 on it that's when it worked I also didn't have my sd partioned at the time. So then later I partioned it into the 3 ones required when I went to try to hero back on and I was trying to put drizzy 1.7 on it. I heard that the rom litterally goes on the sdcard is this true. What goes on the ext3 partion??? Should I redo the partioning part
hello please someone help i am scared to try flashing again cause i had to go back to rc29 about 6 times, please read everthing i posted earlier to better understand my problem

HELP! ROgers Dream on T-Mo radio!

OK, I dont know how I managed to do this. But I have a rogers dream and here is what happened.
I rooted it, no problems.
Used it for a few days, great.
Saw a fellow with a dream theme that I wanted to install, so I applied the update.zip. Ooops! Not it won't boot past htc display.
Try wipe data from recovery and reload. Now wont boot past Rogers flash screen.
found what I thought was a Rogers Firmware dump/restore. Flashed it, OH OH Now I have a fully T-Mo G1 branded dream without 3G.
Got it up and running now, on that firmware. But I need to do 2 things:
No root. all the "tenetd"ing is not doing anything, I run commands and when I try to get to recovery I get and explanation point and phone image. (I do have R29)
No Rogers original DREAIMG.nbh with the radio.
HELP! I want to get this phone to the beginning and I am at a loss. Usually I would get rogers to replace, but the boot screen now has the T-Mo G1 boot. So that wont work.
I'm used to flashing WinMo left right and center. but I'm almost admitting defeat!
Try the new rooting method from Haykuro - It's in the dev section.
It should fix your problems ;-)

Thanks, got this thing rooted now. It's just a matter of getting the Rogers DREAIMG.NBH
I can now flash a roger custom rom, its the radio that needs to be put back because of the 850/1900 3G bands as opposed to the 1700 that this radio is looking for.

So your saying it's possible to run 3G on the Rogers network with a T-Mobile G1?
That's extremely odd because I flashed my T-Mobile G1 with a Rogers radio and I now have a $400 brick and a new Rogers dream lol. So I wouldn't try it until we find a way to unbrick these damn things....
Other way around. I have a Rogers G1 (850/1900 3G) and accidentally flashed it with TMo G1 V1.0 firmware. I thought it war Rogers Original, not Original as in first ever!
Anyway, got the radio from another Post, but I can not flash ANY rom and have it boot past the 2nd splash screen.
I now have a custom restore, fast boot, even a splash screen. But the only combo that makes this thing functional is to:
Flash with Dream RC29 DREAIMG.NBH
Install telnet and root it
Update the radio rom.
Boom, have 1.0 with 3G on Rogers! But that means I dont have all the cupcake updates (A2DP, Exchange, Video, etc etc)
And all because I wanted a bloody theme!
ALMOST makes me miss jailbreaking iPhones and loading custom WinMo! Almost!

So what's the problem then? You have RC29 + root, just install proper radio, bootloader, and custom firmware (in that order) from the rogers root thread. YOU'RE PRACTICALLY DONE! The radio firmware HAS NO EFFECT on the available 3G bands.
got it firgured
Your right, I loaded the latest radio, cyan's recovery, Spl 1.33, oem updated radio, and now running the palm pre-like theme (been through soooo many getting this running, I forget who wrote this one. Props to you). And now I'm typing from my restored dream.
Apologies if I sounded ignorant. But I have never played with this system or unix. I only installed and tried ubuntu 6 months ago and gave up. But a little trial and error and I'm getting there.
My final recovery procedure! Thank you for everyones help with their efforts on each part. And to allow me to create this frankenstien software bundle.
This is a summery, if someone wants me to write up a detailed how to let me know.
Root rogers original rom
Re-flash dreaimg.nbh from g1
When you boot up, you will only have edge. That's ok for now. Once your at the sign in screen. Hit menu, add apn. Now you can edit an existing or create new. Rogers settings : name: rogers. Apn: internet.com. username: wapuser1. Password: wap. Fido. Name: fido. Apn: internet.fido.ca. username & password are both fido. Set this as your default connection.
After you set up you account, download and install telnet from market. After this reboot (don't know if necessary, but it worked for me)
Follow the rooting instructions for the original G1. Not the rogers one.
Once done, go to the htc website and install/update to the latest radio. When you boot, you now have 3G!
Now update spl
Update recovery to cyan's
Now you can install any rom for the g1. As long as you do a wipe before! Very important. No rom has booted if this wasn't done before applying the update.zip, and everytime I had to start again.
This will change your splash screen to the TMo one, and I have not found the rogers original one. So if you do this, rogers will imediately know when you need warranty exchanges done. So I take no responsibility. It worked for me on mine, I won't promise it'll work on yours.
Oh, before I had started I did a nandroid back up. But everytime I tried to restore it, it would stop the boot at the first splash screen. So you can, but don't think it'll work for going back. Sorry.
Rogers original splash screen
From the HTC dream
I don't think it will kill your phone... but don't blame me
I just got it from a nandroid backup.
me2
I have a similar situation:
I accidentally installed RC29 on my Rogers HTC Dream. I can tell when put a DREAIMG.NBH on the MicroSD card that it is trying to load it (when I boot to the Rainbow boot screen it first reads: "loading...", then it says: "Checking..." and finally: "Not Allow"). If I don't have a DREAMIMG.NBH file on the card it doesn't do that.
So, I'm guessing that what I need to do is find a DREAIMG.NBH that my phone WILL allow (or some other file that I don't know about - I've tried update.zip, boot.img and recovery.img and the "loading..." message just flicks on and off quickly). Could someone PLEASE tell me what I need to do to fix my issue?
Also, I can't boot the OS. I get to the welcome/setup screen but it won't let me proceed because it can't connect to the network to login to my Google account. So currently I can't boot either.

(SOLVED!!)Major issues!!!

Ok after countless searches on Google, and on here, with no help at all...I am making a thread. I decided a few days ago that since my phone ran terrible no matter what rom i used, that maybe the person who rooted it screwed it up. I decided to go back to stock, then back to root, then back to the rom, well somewhere i messed everything up. I had everything going good, but then flashed a bad .nbh from what i understand, got that all good now that i have a sd card adapter, now i have rc29 installed and running. When i try to use adb since i have no 3g and need wifi, it keeps saying cant find device, even tho i have used adb in the past just fine, and <enter>reboot<enter> does restart my phone. So i thought maybe its a spl error, i dled danger spl (newest from what my search found) but every time i go to recovery and try to flash update.zip i get errors. So i tried flashing the orig. just to see if it was a bad dl. Same thing. Errors. Im getting really frustrated. If someone could please help me i would greatly appreciate it. my email is [email protected] or [email protected] send me a email if you need an invite to gwave, id rather talk on that. Thanks Guys.
You can't flash a new spl with a stock rom. Did you make sure you have the right drivers installed for RC29.

It sounds like you're back to a "stock" phone after using the RC29 downgrade, which is a pretty good thing for you at this point because the stock recovery image just saved you from bricking your phone, by not allowing you to use update.zip to flash the danger spl with the old radio that you have from installing RC29.
That being said, now that you're back on RC29 you're gonna want to follow the rooting procedure over again to install a custom recovery image and then you can go about flashing your new rom after that.
You can follow the guide in Cyanogen's Wiki, Skip the First section called Downgrading since you've already done that, and pick up on the next section called rooting
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
Thanks.. I did end up following that wiki, but the heart n sole of the problem this whole time was a bad usb cable, tried a diff. one and it worked..I feel like a jackass,,

You you have the right DreaIMG.nbh file? RC7 is Europe RC29 is US.
no limit
I tried both, still nothing. I get the same message not alow
Where did your device originally come from? The error is related to the nbh file not being compatible. You can Google for this and find lots of discussion about that error message. If it is not US or UK it may take some special steps. There is a process involving a "gold card" that may be what you need.
I am also having this issue. it is a USA Tmo G1 with the DMD64 1.6 update. mine flashes a screen that says "no img file then gets stuck on a 3 colored screen with the radio info. any ideas?

HELP!! May have Seriously Messed up phone...

(Rogers HTC Dream)
Ok, so, i know this sounds ridiculous, and you may find yourself asking "WTF Was He Thinking?!?!?" But, was a late night, and i was quite possibly half asleep lol...
Ok, so, long story short, i have tried possibly every rom for the Rogers Dream, and majority of them didn't work for me, or atleast, if they did, not that well.... Cyanogenmod 6 worked ok, although it started to get slow pretty fast :/ Anyways, i had previously rooted and flashed my dream with the steps provided on cyanogen's wiki, but i had never updated the kernel or anything, so, i came to the conclusion that it was possibly my kernel that was un-allowing me to run most roms, so i decided to update my kernel using the steps here
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139"
Everything went well, kernel updated, wiped everything, except i accidently deleted my recovery.....but thought, no problem, i'll just follow the instructions on the thread, no biggie.....it said to download the "orange-1.58.73.2.nbh" and flash that......BUT... I Should have known that the Orange one was the one for T-Mobile!! But out of stupidity i didn't realize it and flashed it!! Now my phone won't boot up or Anything :/ when i try to boot into recovery OR Hboot, it shows the t-mobile startup flash, then shows an error with a triangle and a yellow exclamation in the middle, with a phone on it's side beside it!! :S
Did i completely mess up my phone?.... Someone please help!! x.x
I got a Rogers dream and I just push amonRA with adb. As for the exclamation screen, I think there is a key combo to bypass it. Something like volume up and power at the same time. I can't remember now the exact combination. Took a lot of Googling to find it, and if I remember correctly the dream has a different combo than the tmo did. But with this nexus one my memory has faded.

The orange nbh is orange not t-mob..
But has a eng spl so recovery is easy.. head over to my 2708+ radio thread and flash that, a 2708+ rom (most new roms support it and older ones the kernel in that thread will fix it.
Rogers if they are your carrier may cut wireless data there is a e911 wavier form to get around this search for it or ask the support person if they cut your data for detasils.
The good thing about using the 2708+ radio/kernel is extra ram, and it works on the rogers dream the same way as the non rogers dream thus you can ask more people to help support you with 2708+
Thanks for the reply guys,
ezterry:
thanks for replying, would had posted in your thread but didn't want to jam it full of even more posts of someone needing help lol...
as for your reply, it was after i had flashed the orange nbh that i was getting the t-mobile splash :S thus i assumed it was t-mobile.... but, as for flashing anything, i can't....when i try to boot phone in hboot or recovery, i get the error i previously mentioned, and when i normal boot, i can only get to the screen that says to plz insert sim card, and it won't let me pass that screen :S....that's where im stuck.....i tried using the usb cord to access adb through it, but on the comp it says there are no adb devices, i'm assuming it's because i can't get past the "no sim card" screen to enable debugging ..... Any suggestions?
Thanks!!
I'm going to hope you are doing something silly since your description indicates no problem with the phone.

I don't recall if adb is enabled by default on the orange rom; regardless this is the rom. (putting a sim card active or not in the phone may let you get further however ought not be necessary )
So either you got so anoyed at your phone you did phisical damage to it or you are attempting to enter HBOOT/Fastboot incorrectly.
Powering on when holding 'camera' is supposed to always bring you to the HBOOT screen; then pressing send or back as prompted will let you to the Fastboot screen (don't re-flash the orange NBH, say no if it asks)
Alternatively either booting with send or back will go directly to HBOOT.. (The rogers [2000 series] dream uses Send while the t-mobile (100 series) users Back but some SPL only provide the back options regardless of dream model.. I don't recall about 1.42.2000 so you will want to try both)
In theory Home is the only button to send you to recovery.
Once in fastboot it ought to be a full featured fastboot and the normal 2708+ install instructions will work using fastboot on your PC
That /!\ screen *is* recovery, alt+L will show you additional options.. but in its self its not that useful.

Ahh ok lol, i'd installed RA recovery when i first got the phone, so it was the only recovery screen i remembered ever seeing, thus why i was confused, but yah, hit alt+L and saw the options, but yah, not that many :/

When i enter hboot, it looks like a friggin rainbow now lol....red, green, blue, and white bars as the background :/ and once in hboot, it says "Serial0" in the middle of the screen :S and when i plug it into the computer, i tried hitting both back, and send, and it makes the "Serial0" dissapear, but seems no matter what i do, it won't show the phone as a connected device in fastboot :S
Thanks again for replying soo quickly and all the help u've been giving me, any advice on where to go from here or getting it to enter fastboot?
What you are describing is not 1.42.2000.. but 0.95.0000.. or that its likely the Dreaimg you flashed was the t-mobile rc29 and not the orange nbh..
Rc29 can be flaky.. but there are two options
1) go to recovery, alt+l and wipe, put a sim card into the phone and root via telnet.. assuming you have the 1.x radio of rc29 follow the link to my 1.33.2003 spl then with that install 2708+ normally
2) if you still can't boot you will need to use/make a goldcard (if you don't already have one this may require finding a friend's phone to help make one) and this time flash the orange nbh *not* rc29
0.95.0000 will not let you flash a rogers nbh so there is no way to re-flash with out a goldcard.. otherwise I'd just have you flash the roger 911 patch and re-root from there..
hey if you are still getting that screen with the yellow triangle and '!' that means you have stock tmobile recovery with no rom lol can you try to press (alt+L) hold alt and press L should make a list pop up.. if it does than maybe you can still re root it so than it will read your sim... but im not sure if the rogers G1 has and different software so it could possibly make it worse.. lol just a suggestion

What you are describing is not 1.42.2000.. but 0.95.0000.. or that its likely the Dreaimg you flashed was the t-mobile rc29 and not the orange nbh..
Rc29 can be flaky.. but there are two options
1) go to recovery, alt+l and wipe, put a sim card into the phone and root via telnet.. assuming you have the 1.x radio of rc29 follow the link to my 1.33.2003 spl then with that install 2708+ normally

Hboot is 0.95.0000
Radio is 2.22.19.26I
So i'm guessing it is the rc29 And i'm not too sure what a gold card is? :S

..Still have yet to find a solution....any help please?

HBOOT-0.95.0000

RADIO-2.22.19.26I
Background:
Accidently wiped rogers rom + flashed t-mobile rom, and since then,
Hboot says "Serial 0" and won't allow me to flash any images, phone doesnt have a recovery, will boot up now, but only to the android set-up process which i can't continue with because it won't accept my rogers sim card, despite the fact i unlocked the phone before all this happened :/ so i can't sign in to or create a google account. Have attempted every bypass to get past it with no success. Obviously since i can't get past it i have no access to adb...
Please help
Just out of my curiousity, got download the orange nbh file (make sure that it marked orange).
Format your SD card to FAT and put the nbh file in the root of your SD card.
put the SD card in your G1.
Boot up with camera+power and flash it.
See if that work.

Thank you for your response, unfortunately i have tried that countless times with no luck it says it cannot read or flash or something, i forget what it says Exactly but it wouldn't allow it x.x any other suggestions?
I'm Really desperate x.x and i have been having the crappiest luck lately. I bought a phone off kijiji today, spent 3 hours trying to meet up with the guy to buy it, then when i did get it (after all the running around) i took it to "The Source" to get it activated in my name , and after 4 hours (5pm-9pm) they finally said they tried everything but couldn't do it because the phone is registered to someone with a contract that has a suspended account do to owing an outstanding amount of money!!
At this point, when you boot up the phone. What do you see?

It loads up to the setup screen, in which i cannot bypass...i have tried with another active (with data) rogers sim, telus sim, and virgin mobile sim card, but none of them will work....and like i previously mentioned, i unlocked the phone prior to all this happening :S
OK! I am not sure why it will not let you activate your phone. But don't worry about that ATM.
Let try activate your G1 over wifi. Follow the instruction from the link below.
