00028002 not allow in bootloader, help

I've ran in to a "not allow" situation by flashing a Singapore or maybe Australia rom.
It maybe caused by a "different CID" problem.
Anyway, my g1 almost bricked, every time it boots to the bootloader.
How can I save it? Need your help.

did you root your phone and install hard SPL, it is very difficult to fix stuff like this if we have no info, first thing i am going to suggest is to download the RC29.nbh from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
and try flashing that, put it on your FAT32 formatted SDcard and rename it DREAIMG.nbh, not DREAMIMG.nbh not dreaimg.nbh and not even dreamimg.nbh, the correct name is DREAIMG.nbh and see if that will flash to your phone.
it's a pretty simple process, read the entire first post and follow all instructions if you haven't already gone through the entire thing. and if you are feeling really ambitious try reading the entire thread.
have a nice day

My Phone is rooted, but I don't remenber whether my SPL's version.
I's sure that is not engeering SPL, and I didn't format my tf card.
I'm trying to use your RC29's nbh.
Thank you.

you seem to be having a lot of issues with your phone, i took a looksee in your previous posts and from what i could tell everytime you have a problem you post a new thread and someone comes in and saves you. not sure, but maybe you should buy a different phone, all 20 posts you have made were issues with your phone or giving more info about the issues.
when your phone boots what does the text say on the screen, and are there three androids on skateboards??? also you need to format the card, unless the card is formatted to FAT32 you will not be able to flash the nbh file to the phone. also where you doing an update.zip or were you trying to flash an nbh you found elsewhere? please give more details, if you were trying an nbh please tell me where you found it, i wanna make sure it was made for the G1 and not for a kaiser or universal

solved.
I can use RC29.
I think I need the hard spl next step

kdtlvybylg,fmjgyngvjy
that was me pounding my head on the keyboard. you did not root your phone if you did not apply the HARDSPL, people need to learn to read, this is not directly at you, though it is a little, but come on you people mess up your phones because you didn't read anything, you didn't search, you just tried to go straight to something that you knew nothing about. personally before i do anything to my phone i do at least 2 hours of research before trying it. maybe it's because i would hate to screw up my phone because i don't have internet to get the answers if i screw up the phone, but seriously if you don't ever read then how do you expect to learn anything.
start reading things cause people are gonna start being rude soon. i hate spoon feeding little girls

Yes I actually rooted my phone, long time ago, I also had it flashed some engeering spl and hard spl later.
But later, I tried some nbhs, maybe they overwritten my hard spl, which was modified not to check the CID.

And, I have to admit that, it's a little difficult for me to read posts in English.

Hi, I recently bought a 2nd hand HTC G1 and tried to flash it to RC29 but kept getting 00028002 not allow in the bootloader. Tried with RC7 as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
Was following the thread above to get root...
Made sure the renaming of the image was DREAIMG.nbh , formatted to FAT32, with 4096.
The details are as follows on the bootloader screen after "not allow"
DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000

Did I do anything wrong?

Maybe you should try creating a goldcard (SD card) and then you could be able to flash needed rom, you should also check what ver. of the g1 do you have if other than UK/US this will solve the "not allow" problem.

PEOPLE, READ!
A simple google search would help you with the error -.-

I tried but there no useful page.
If you know the link, please post it!

Good Christ.

With the same amount of work you could have helped me.

Not without knowing what link you are looking for...RC29? RC33? THe more complete and helpful the question is the more complete and helpful the answer.

OK.
In the meantime I've tried the "goldcard" stuff with no luck:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4330749#post4321428
But now I don't have the "not allowed" screen.
Mine is a Dutch G1:
Model Number: T-Mobile G1
Firmware version: 1.5
Baseband version: 62.205.20.17U_2.22.19.26I
Kernel version: 2.6.27-00393-g6607056 [email protected] #1
Build NUmber: CRC1
I've choosen the RC7 firmware image.
After the restart with camera+power I get the colored stripes with the boot loader and nothing more.
WIth green+menu+red I can reboot the phone which will still be CRC1 and won't start the telnet server.
What'd be next?
(If any info is missing, please let me know).
Thanks for the patience ;-)

[HELP] I think I bricked my Rogers Dream!

i was following this guide here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod and everything seemed to go smoothly. i verified the md5 thing and it matched and everything. my sd card is fat32 for the record. i got to where it was flashing the spl. the screen stayed saying it was flashing for a really long time and half way through the device rebooted itself. It was plugged into its charger and I was not touching it. It just rebooted prematurely before the spl had been flashed. now when I boot up it doesnt bring up android or anything!
i bought this phone second hand and unlocked it, im using it with telus. If its bricked can i send it anywhere to get fixed?
edit: not sure if it means anything but it said HBOOT was 0009 not 0010. apparently 0010 was perfect spl or something like that. im not sure if this matters but its just something i noticed.

If you interrupted the spl flash (why would you do that btw?!) and you cant enter recovery or bootloader, you're bricked.

Not being an ass, but you do know how to enter these modes, right.
Fastboot= camera+power held down
Recovery= home+power held down
If it is indeed bricked, there are very few solutions. Only working one is replacing board at the moment. There is other ways trying to be had in development forum as we speak. Don't start a new theard, but search and read thoses, maybe something can help you/help them.

I followed this guide:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod
My dream is a rogers one, so I assume its EBl1, I haven't done anything to it besides follow that guide.
1. I got my 2GB memory card and formatted it to FAT32 on my computer.
2. I put spl-1332005.zip on the card (I kept it as a zip)
3. I downloaded this file: signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-img-14721.zip
4. I opened that file I downloaded and copied system.img to my memory card.
5. I downloaded update-cm-4.2.x-signed.zip and bc-4.2.x-ebi1-signed.zip on my SD cards root.
6. I installed zinx recovery flasher and cm-recovery-1.4 32A flashed onto my phone (now that I think about it I didnt check to see if my phones 32A. I don't know where to do that)
7. I booted into cyanogenmod screen.
8. I flashed the SPL, it didn't get interrupted and I thought all went right, but I guess not.
That is everything I did. did I do something wrong?

It looks as if you didn't flash the radio first. the 26I radio, that is

Oh man, which part of the guide shows me how to flash the radio?

If you flashed the spl already, it is too late. The radio NEEDS to be flashed first

@ people telling him to flash the radio, if you're following that guide, you don't flash the radio, you leave it as is.
He did nothing wrong, he just got ****ed up by pure chance, though if he were reading the guide closely he would realize that he wasn't supposed to put system.img on his SD card.

That SPL is safe on all Rogers dreams.. either you were spectacularly unlucky with a bad flash, or it isn't actually bricked.. Remove the battery, hold the camera button, replace the battery and power on.. anything?

No dice. I didn't think it was possible for it to just brick on its own accord

AHH!
So I followed the turorial on updating the rogers HTC Dream to a T. I successfully changed the SPL to 1.33.2005 but the "system.img" file is no longers available on the HTC developer website. I tried using the system.img file from the Google I/O page (from the HTC developer website) but was left with a phone that pretty much was an HTC version of the iPod touch with no phone-related-applications working. does anyone have a backup of that system.img file for android 1.6 for the Htc DREAM??

@meldonlobo, are you looking for this?

I thought this was 100% safe. what happened?

my radio version was 3.22.20.17 and HBOOT-1.33.0009 (DREA21000). my friend told me to post that because it might help. Is that radio right for following the guide?? It also says 32B not A. The tutorial mentions something about 32A. Is that why?
i remember that if i went to recovery mode when it was stock it showd an exclamation mark

Please can someone tell?

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?

I have firmware 1.6 build number DMD64, how would I go about rooting my g1?

i need help with the rainbow screen
my phone is stuck on the rainbow screen i take out the battery and put it back in and it automaticaly turns on and jusmps to the rainbow screen can anyone help me?

(Not Allowed)
Having same issue (Not Allowed)
Will try Goldcard method...
Note - I previously had installed Android 2.2 on this G1 then went back to 1.6 as it was performing ok but slowly....
Was about to try it again but had updated my firmware to DMD64 then I was getting (Not Allowed)
I'll let you know how I get on with GoldCard...

My phone runs fine but can't root it at all with the desktop program and androot 1.6 it says it roots it but then open rom manager and it tells me dont have super user permissions.

i used universal androot and it worked without the hassle of trensfering files to your sd.

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

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

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?

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,

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.

That /!\ screen *is* recovery, alt+L will show you additional options.. but in its self its not that useful.

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

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 :/

Apparently was entering it wrong, i was used to using Home+Cam+End to enter hboot.....so that's my fault....

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

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

that sounds like stock 1.5 firmware to me

..Still have yet to find a solution....any help please?
info again is
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
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.
