Before I brick ANOTHER Rogers Dream someone give me a hand please.

Okay, I bricked my first Rogers HTC dream because I thought it froze during a reboot after I updated the ROM so I pulled out the battery... sure enough I didn't wait long enough and that phone is no more. I am in the US on AT&T and wanted to take advantage of 3G.
Basically I would like to know the correct procedure before going any further.
I'm following this:
[HOWTO] Root, Hack, Flash G1/Dream - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553416
To use this:
[ROM]TheOfficial DONUT TMO US/EU & AOSP-1.6_r1.4(dream/sapphire32B)[11/17/09]-v2.2.1 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538456
So far all I did was download ASTRO, Backup Recovery Image, and then Flashed to RAv1.2.1G.img. After I rebooted while holding Home+Power it stopped at the "ROGERS" screen and my heart stopped. I thought I bricked my phone again. After pulling out the battery and rebooting without trying to get into recovery it booted up fine. So before I go any further what should I or shouldn't be doing. As of right now my phone works fine and will boot up fine and boot into the HBOOT screen but it will NOT boot into recovery, it will just say rogers.
Here is what the HBOOT screen says:

If anyone can help out here. What exactly should I be doing with a Rogers Dream with the above settings?
Thanks a lot.

hi.
i think its the spl that prevent you from booting, try updating your radio version to the compatible one and update to hspl.Make sure your radio version is the right one
HBOOT-1.33.0010 is the so called "perfected" spl

Now this is for the normal T-Mobile G1 but when you flash a radio you should ALWAYS flash the spl first. So I'm assuming that you have to do the same with a rogers though. I'm jealous I wish I had a rogers G1 so I can use 3G =[

NO the radio should always be flashed first. the .2005 spl will brick a g1 with the wrong radio.
however, the .2005 spl is safe with ALL roger dreams.
IIRC, rogers needs the .2005 to begin the rooting procedure.
you need to get that or use a proper 1-click that will work on your phone

Not Bricked, but NOT Booting Rogers

Hey I first followed the one click root guide for Rogers before realizing that my new G1 may have defenses against that method. I am unable to get past the Rogers boot screen. I have tried to use a nandroid backup I found on these forums of an original Rogers unrooted g1. I have tried flashing images from givemeroot and rogers_root_unzipme.
While right now, I don't have access to the recovery menu, I believe that I can get it by flashing one of the recovery.img again.
At fastboot, I have:

Hoping someone can tell me what my next step should be, I want to get Cyanogen up and running as I was very happy with it before my last G1 was stolen! Thanks!

I'm not all that familiar with the Roger's phone, but just in case you haven't been using Cyanogen's Wiki check out the guide specifically for the Roger's Dream
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod

Yeah, I've been there, but as I didn't start out with that guide, I'm not sure what to do. In that guide they specifically tell you not to flash the boot and recovery images, which I have done.

I dont know the Rogers G1 but I thought the Rogers had a different radio? Initial glance, your radio version looks like the T-Mobile/ADP radio. Not sure about this though

That's a good point
Looking above your radio is the same version as mine
Can you get into fastboot?
If so flash a new recovery and see where it get's you

Yeah I can get into fastboot, I flashed the recovery.img from rogersrootunzip me first, nothing. Then from givemeroot and I have the recovery menu! CyanogenMod v1.4 +JF

Alright, so you know what to do from here then, right?

Ok, so I followed the directions for rogers on cyanogen's wiki. I have just installed HTC system.img and now Cyanogen's zip. Should I do the kernel patch? I'm thinking no as that would be running a EBI1 kernel with the radio.img for an EBI0. I don't even know which one my phone is!

Its booting! I'm looking at the Home Screen NOW! THANKS ALOT! You just saved me a lot of money I don't have!

[Q] G1 won't load ROM

Did you seriously ask him his phone model when you are in the G1 Q&A AND it says it in the title? And clockwork is better IMHO. More seamless installations.

Catch me on my irc channel, link in sig.
And yes I did ask him even when it said it right there in front of me, it's called skimming the post and the fact mt3g users use this forum also.

ok, so I'm trying to go back and unroot, because of multiple tries with help of shadowch31 to load good recovery no go. followed this guide: http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/23/how-to-unroot-the-htc-g1-dream/
did the spl and that went through but when i try and do the DREAIMG.nbh it goes to the tri color and jumps to the white loading screen for a second and then over to the tri color screen, I think it's not recognizing the file. PLEASE HELP

[Q] Rogers HTC dream and ROM manager

k so I'm a noob and I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. I was however able to root my rogers dream and I’m now running Cyanogenmod-6.0.0-DS.
I recently purchased the premium version of “ROM manager”. The idea of being able to flash ROMS at will seems cool (although I don’t think there’s that many for my phone.)
The thing is, the ROM manager doesn’t work. The only thing it does is detect a newer version of the OS and download it. I can’t back up my current image or flash a new ROM. If I try, it just hangs at the Rogers screen FOREVER, and I have to take the battery out. Then it will reboot normally. I’ve followed any instructions I have found but nothing I try works.
Please help me! What am I doing wrong?!

You should post the specs of your phone (radio, spl and recovery version) when asking for help.

Got the same problem here. Have you found a solution?

THere is no "Rogers Dream" version of Clockwork recovery..
best is either one of two things:
1) select the "Magic" version when asked while flashing.. this will install the 32a magic recovery that will at least boot on the ebi1 rogers dream
2) install the 2708+ radio/kernel via fastboot and then the dream version.. recall however while that will work for clockwork the cyanogen mod version in RomManager is not 2708+ compatible.. make sure you get one of the other kernels. (also remember if you are with rogers they may cut your data if you have not signed the e911 wavier and use a radio other than the one you have.. yet 3g will be much more relyable on the 2708+ radio if you have signed the wavier.. and more ram)

[Q] No recov, No fastboot, but I have OS

I have a Rogers Dream/G1 with T-Mobile rc29 rom (doh!), which works and is usable but I want to get back to CM5. Please show me the way or put me out of my misery if its hopeless.
Recovery hangs at Tmobile G1 screen.
Fastboot gives me "00028002 Not Allow" code then is stuck with serial0.

Tried Adb to get amon-ra 1.7.0, but still won't boot into recovery and is stuck at G1 screen. No memory error, just an immediate echo of the "flash_image recovery data/local/recovery.img" command after I hit enter.
fastboot won't show my device in cmd when at the 4colored screen but adb does recognize.
I'm pretty sure I mixed up the radio and spl, but does having access to the OS give me any options?
Please, point me in the right direction.
****SOLVED**** see Post#20 for my conclusion.

Download clockwork recovery, flash clockwork, then you'll have recovery?
Not sure tho, I think this was how I did it.

I think what you're talking about is ROM Manager, it includes Clockwork Recovery if I understand the dev's description correctly. I haven't tried it myself though.

Seems to me, that he is on a stock ROM and doesn't have root access.
If the phone is booting, a chance could be, to install 1-click-root (don't know how it is called exactly, but you can google for it) and then from there to install a custom recovery. After that, you can install CM5 or something else. Probably first I would install is an engineering SPL (1.33.2003 for example) which supports fastboot. With your current SPL you will not have a chance to get fastboot running.
But be careful: 1.33.2003 supports only radio version 1.x and 2.x. I am not sure if 1.33.2003 is the best solution for you, because you have a rogers dream.

i recomend the old way.. get the fflashrecapk. and use io file manager to flash it.. only problem is you need to be 1.5 if your on 1.6 than you need to downgrade.. but that would be difficult since you have no recovery lol

While a bit more work.. before all the how to's confuse you into bricking your phone, I'd make yourself a gold card, and use it to flash the orange nbh from the 2708+ thread.. (rename to DREAIMG.nbh and place on the goldcard, then boot with camera+power it will ask you to flash it)
Once you have the orange rom you will have fastboot and a 2.x radio.. if you don't need the 3.22 radio .. just flash the 2708+ radio+spl+hboot as per normal followed by a rom.. if you do need the 3.22 radio (rogers customer who has not signed the wavier and wishes to keep data) either flash the rogers e911 update and re-root or 1.33.2005+3.22.26.17 and a rom
Sorry lack of links.

is it rooted?
maybe you can flash the recovery through terminal

Thanks for the replies, lots to research.
I'v tried a bunch of rooting methods.
exploid pushed from ADB said it worked (but didnt)
SuperOneClick said it worked after some rapid OFF-ON-OFF-ON debugging(but didnt install superuser even after reboot)
Universal androot forcecloses on launch
flashrec has the "download cyan...." button blocked out, tried renaming amon-ra to the recovery-backup.img and it said successful, but still is stuck at g1 screen.
I found another post with someone in the same situation at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-580669.html
They did the same thing by flashing the tmobile firmware 1.0 and we have the same numbers:

ok ummm wow you did a lot lol are you sure you did the flaskrec.apk thing right? so as of right now your phone is not rooted? and you are on 1.0? if thats the case you should get automatic updates and hopefully that could help you.. if not try downloading rom manager than flash the clockwork recovery.. personally i hate clockwork but if you can get that to work than i could help you get back to RA if you would like..

Well its a one-click solution, I must have missed the options... I installed it and ran the back up, but the "download" button was grayed out. was I supposed to do something with the entry field?
Rom Manager gives me "Application install unsuccessful" using AndExplorer and I think Clockwork gave me this problem in the first place back when I was using CM6.

I think Ezterry's post (#6) is your best option
you don't mention you have tried that
you will need to do some research into goldcards and finding the orange.nbh link
hint for the orange see threads started by ezterry (via his profile) look at the kernel for 2708 thread

Ok thanks, I'v got my gold card made but is safe to flash 1.33.200* SPL with 1.22.12.29 Radio? Isnt it a DangerSPL? Sorry if thats way off base.

for the record
1.33.2003 is compatible with 1.x and 2.x radios but will brick with 3.x
1.33.2005 is compatible with 2.x and 3.x radios but will brick with 1.x
so 1.33.200* is only compatible with 2.x
read Ezterry's 2708 post, the answers you seek are in it

sorry for delay lol but with the flashrec file wat you do is press backup than when your typing in the box you have to put exactly what your file says...
ex.. sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.0.7-cyan.img (yours could be diff but make sure you type exactly what your file says that you placed on sd card) hope it helps

You guys are awesome, thank you everyone who was interested and especially ezterry, Effdee and Idrifta for the enduring help. I'm now on CM5.0.8 2708+ and loving it.
Final issue, I'm wondering about going to EBI1 to get 3.22 radio. Is it as simple as updating hboot to 1.33.2010 then flashing 3.22? Is it worth doing?
Again, sorry if that is way off base but this is the first week my phone has been usable in months, and I won't jeopardize it again.

Why ebi1 is equivalent to the old ebi0 and you loose the extra ram.
Thus unless there is a very specific reason it's a downgrade

Best stay as is or upgrade the radio to 2.22.28.25.. As it has been distributed world wide. (Including to all locations 2.22.27.08 was previously distributed)

what did you do?
I would like to know if you solved this issue as mine is similar. I DO have root though, but i have no recov/fastboot. I am using a dev phone though.
ps, grats on getting it working

If you flashed 0.95.0000 you are no longer using a dev phone (what do you see when you boot holding camera?)
The good news is that the ADP1 used the universal CID (11111111) and is thus not restricted to a particular carriers nbh file.. so you can probably just flash the orange nbh without the goldcard [just renamed DREAIMG.nbh on the root of your SDCard], then follow the 2708+ radio instructions.. or install 1.33.2003/5 via fastboot if you need the old radio.
The reason I'm pointing to the orange nbh is it will let you bypass the whole "I bricked my phone because I insisted on flashing death SPL via recovery" since you have an engineering SPL and 2.x radio after flashing that orange NBH from the 2708+ thread.

This is what worked for me, going from:
- a non responsive recovery
- OS locked at activation, so no usb debugging
- OS refused to root
- quadicolored fastboot screen that wouldnt recognize usb
To CM5 2708+ with RA-cyan1.7.
Before this thread I had to use this to get post the verizon data plan only activation to enable usb debugging.
Made a goldcard
Put the orange nbh renamed to DREAIMG.nbh (can't remember where i got it from, just searched) on the goldcard, Booted with camera+power to get fastboot, and applied the update.
Followed ezterry's post and at step 5 flipped over to this post on CM5 2708+
Now I'm gonna update the radio using exterry's advanced zips. Thanks again everyone, another successful thread.
