What is with all this talk about "swap" "wiping" the latest "radios" and how do I do that? Bare with me, Im completely new to this =).

also, do I need to download a modified image? if so where can I find one .....

What Phone do you have?
Ok so do this:
Turn off your Phone
Once its off Press and Hold The End Call Button and the camera button at the same time and once its done loading up tell me what you see.
If a White screen comes up and at the top left it says:
Code:
DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA!0000)
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
Then this will be much easier.

I have a g1/dream
it says:

if you want to run kingklicks aosp 1.4 or any eclair/ hero you are going to need to flash death, haykuro, danger spl or what ever they call it these days

Ok so yeah flash the Haykuro SPL and afterwards you'll be able to flash any ROM you like =)

haykuro spl will let you flash hero/ eclair roms
long story short haykuro spl will leave you with more internal memory, and bleh blah bleh
make sure you flash the latest radio before flashing the the spl. or you will brick your phone.

thanks you guys!!! one last question though, how do i flash the latest radio and the spl. where can i find them. sorry im such a noob =P

**Not responsible if this messes up your phone in anyway.**
**Just follow instructions and you wont have a heart attack**
This is to flash the SPL:
http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/ = Latest SPL
Dont worry about the OTA radio thing. Just get the SPL.
1.Put the SPL into the root of your sdcard and rename it update.zip (if you dont have latest recovery image)
1.Reboot into recovery (Turn off Phone. then press and hold both Home and End Call buttons.)
2.Go to where it says Flash zip from sdcard and click on it.
3.choose the update.zip which is the SPL and flash it.
4.let it install and DO NOT TOUCH IT OR DO ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE AT ALL WHILE ITS BEING FLASHED. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH.
5.When its done reboot your phone.
6.If you go to the G1 boot screen and it stays like that dont worry just take the battery out of your phone and put it back in. then reboot to recovery mode again.
7.The reason it stays in the G1 boot screen is because you need to flash a new ROM otherwise your phone wont work like normal.
Instructions for Flashing a rom:
**After Danger SPL has been Flashed**
1.Reboot your phone into recovery.
2.Wipe everything. Just in case. *make a backup first*
3.Find ROM you want.
4.Rename to update.zip (If you have Amon_RA's v1.5.2 Recovery Image then you dont need to rename.
5.Put the ROM on the root of your sdcard. (To mount the phone through the recovery just plug in the phone then click on where it says "USB-MS Toggle")
6.Unmount the Phone from the computer (Press Home to disable USB-MS Toggle to safely remove phone) and un plug it.
7.Go to where it says Flash Zip from sdcard and click on it.
8.You should see the rom which is a zip file.
9.Click on it and when it asks you if thats the rom that you wish to flash just press the home button.
10.Let it install and once its done it will say
"Install from sdcard complete: Please Reboot"
11.Click on the reboot system now option or hold down home and the end call buttons at the same time.
12. And voila you have the new ROM installed.
Remember if you are going to be switching from ROM to ROM then make sure to:
Do a Factory Reset Wipe
Do a EXT Wipe
Do a Dalvik-Cache Wipe.
I hope this helps dude.

OMG! I love you man. Thank you. I was afraid I bricked my phone because it it was stuck on g1 screen but i did what u said and loaded the rom and it worked. thank you!

When you flashed the SPL did you physically press alt-s and home + back to reboot? (and not use the trackball)
Just trying to make sure it actually flashed. Could you also check by boot in to SPL (Home and camera ) and tell us what version it is?

No problem man
Okay, you're still on hardSPL XD
Basically when you flash the radio or SPL on Cyan's recovery, you must physically press the buttons to flash. Using the trackball will mean that when you reboot it will revert to how it was. You do have the correct radio, but not SPL.
So, grab the SPL and name it update.zip (as when cant flash any zip because that requires the trackball), alt-w to wipe, alt-s to flash, home+back to reboot. Don't touch the trackball at all.
when you boot up there will be no ROM, SPL flash formats your nand. So, after SPL flah leave your phone for a couple of minutes to be safe, then boot in to recovery and go to console. Type "ums_enable" to mount your sd in your computer so you can copy a ROM over. The "ums_disbale" when you're done and then "reboot recovery". Now wipee and flash, you can use the track ball for that too

Sounds like you might have a bricked device if you didnt install the 26I radio before when you first rooted.
Crud, crud crud crud! This is my gf's mom's dream... Was running a custom rom, cant remember which one it is... Now i am absolutely in the dog house. Any ideas on what i can do? Its not totally, bricked, is it?? Is there any such thing as a goldcard for the dream? Need help asap.
Nothing you can do, should have read the instructions.
Yes there is a goldcard for the dream, but it won't help you if the phone won't boot.
Is this a semi-brick or a full, unrecoverable brick? It does get to the htc dream splash screen, then stays there

Full brick, there really isnt a partial brick. Brick is completely unusable (no recovery, bootloader, or os), a semi-brick as you call it would be just no rom or no rom and recovery- but full access to bootloader
Well, cldnt sleep all last night. Been looking at posts trying to find a fix. JTAG, anyone?

No JTAG method, you'd need to open the phone and replace the motherboard.

if you are not rooted then you can not flash a radio, spl or rom unless it is an official rom
what exactly are you doing?
what does your bootloader screen look like
try the updated one click root on that bad boy, supposed to work on all android builds, here is the link
http://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec
then you can use this recovery image for it

umm, you don"t need root to install an .apk just use any file manager to do it, you can"t fastboot anything without root and you can"t flash a recovery like a rom
this will give you more of an idea of what is goin on

[Q] Problem with my HTC Dream/G1 ( Rogers )

Hi guys!
I've bought a HTC Dream ( Rogers ) on eBay and I receive it this morning. The phone was already root and it was using a Cyanogen mod for Froyo 2.2.
Then, I wanted to put the phone back in the stock ROM ( unrooted ) to do the process by myself to learn how it works. So I went on google and I found a tutorial ( sorry, can't give the link since I am a new user ) that told me to download the original SPL and .nbh ( got the T-Mo G1 .nbh ) and to go on recovery mode to flash the update.zip to apply the SPL update.
Here is the problem, I think I did the wrong thing and now my phone is stuck in a reboot loop and every time, it ends on the Recovery menu and I don't know what to do...
Please, anyone, help me fix my phone...
1. Turn off the phone (or pull out the battery).
2. Hold down the BACK and POWER button for about 2 seconds.
3. What does it say on the screen?

Okay. Download the DREAIMG.nbh file and put it on the root of your SD card, then turn phone off. Hold down the CAMERA and POWER button. Press trackball to flash the image. Restart phone and it should boot up.

Thanks for your time and help.
Do you have any more idea?
Well, to get your phone to start back up and usable again is to download this and put it on the root of your SD card. Enter Recovery Mode by holding down the HOME and POWER button. Go down to "flash zip" or something among those words. Select the file and flash it.
That is DangerSPL, which is compatible with your currently installed radio (2.22.19.26I), so there is no need to worry about a brick. However, you'll want to verify that you have that radio installed by entering bootloader mode (BACK and POWER button).
Afterwards when your phone starts back up to Cyanogenmod, you'll probably want to follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4330749#post4321428
I can't access to the recovery menu. Every time I boot the device, I am stuck at the red-green-blue-white screen with the informations about my device ( the informations I gave you yesterday ).
Are you sure? When you try to hold HOME and POWER, it doesn't boot into recovery mode? This is a hard one, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe the DREAIMG.nbh you were trying to flash was corrupted, or maybe your Camera/Back button is stuck, and every time you power on the phone, it thinks you want to power into Bootloader? Check to see.
On my SD card, I juste have haykuro_new_spl-signed plus the things that Android put automatically on the SD Card
I just found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654
A guide on how to root a Rogers G1. Scroll down to the part where Haykuro edited his post to include a "how to unroot". It'll probably help.
Unfortunately, I can't access to the fastboot mode, here's a video to show you where I'm stuck:
http://img547.imageshack.us/i/file7761.mp4
Do you have Danger/Hard SPL? The stock SPL that comes with the phone doesn't support fastboot (at least on my G1).
Edit:
When rebooting and holding down camera button, If it shows:
HBOOT-0.95.0000 -- You have the stock SPL.
HBOOT-0.95.3000 -- You have the engineering SPL.
HSPL10.95.3000 -- You have HardSPL.
HBOOT-1.33.2005 -- You have Danger SPL
I have the stock SPL ( 0.95.0000 )
What should I do then?
Anyone have an idea? You probably know that it suck having a phone that you can't use :/

The problem is you flashed a non rogers nbh when you unrooted.. and now you can't reflash it because it the rom is for tmobile and the phone says it can only flash rogers roms.
And since you have a very old spl you can't even flash the rogers rom..
To fix this you will need a gold card.. (maybe a friend or a spare htc phone can help you make one)
Once you have a gold card you can download that orange nbh I have in the 2708 thread, rename it DREAIMG.nbh and place it on the root of the sdcard.
That will flash an engineering spl (and a old french rom) with the eng spl you can flash a recovery and continue from their, or follow the 2708 instructions.
What if I dont know anybody with an htc or an Android phone? :/
My problem is the same.
Except for the following differences on the bootloader screen info:

[Q] G1 updated SPL and Radio, RC7 still wont boot

Hello, can't get passed the G1 screen, I've rooted my NookColor and thought, hey I could do this to my phone.... guess not
TIRED OF SEARCHING, just simply trying to install Ginger Yoshi RC7 or RC6.1
After I answer no to the few questions, (partitioned, y/N,stock launcher and 60 something) It completes the install of the ROM so then I power off (remove the bat) and boom, stuck at the G1 screen when I power on.
Steps I took to get here:
1) Put all zip files into root of SD
2) Download install ClockModRecovery
3) Boot into recovery using ClockMod from market
4) superwipe, remove bat, power on, recovery mode
5) flash Radio remove bat, power on, recovery mode
6) flash hboot remove bat, power on, recovery mode
7) Flashed ROM, remove bat, power on... Now stuck at G1 Screen
I gathered my information from here:

Your SPL radio combo is not compatible to your ROM. try SPL 13d and radio 2708 combo. This will also give you 14MB extra.

THANKS MAN!!
LOL! That's the first stealing it from someone sig. Thanks for making me laugh. (no pun intended)
There are different combo on SPL/radio out that will work with a certain ROM. And sometime depends on what being loaded (flash).
Try this link below by ezTerry. Follow his instruction and it should be OK!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
You can also try different ROM. Like the one I use. Make sure if you flash SuperAosp to also flash the 15MB-boot file. Then that will be OK.

Oh BTW, I checked the guy sig. New SPL does not meant the same as what you have.

[HELP] G1 won't boot after flashing recovery.

I recently flashed a custome recovery as my phone didn't have one. I flashed "United CWM v5.0.2.8 and followed the steps there. After "adb reboot," it just stays on the black Android screen. It won't let me boot into recovery, like if it doesn't recognize the home key. When i hold camera button and power button, it says no flash image found.
Is my phone bricked? Is there anyway i can reset the whole phone?
Any help would be appreciated.
i assume you are rooted. what is your spl/hboot ?
when you hold down camera what does it say?

No, he never said he's trying to flash a dreaimg.nbh
OP:
Yeah, I don't think the new recovery was very safe to flash. It's not for all devices.
If you have 1.33.0013d go here, and scroll down to "If you find yourself stuck without recovery".
If you have an engineering SPL, such as 1.33.2005, then use fastboot to flash your old recovery back.
