Is it safe to "revert" to HardSPL from Danger SPL?
-I use the OpenEclair ROMs, and the newest ones seem to not require Danger SPL anymore...do you think I should change the SPL?

There is no telling if any FUTURE RADIO will be compatible with the DEATH SPL -- the only thing guaranteed is that future radio images will be compatible with the 0.95.x000 SPLs.
Note: I suggest NOT using the so-called HARDSPL. It really doesn't offer anything over the stock engineering spl 0.95.3000. Why use a hack when not needed?

accidental bricking? How do you accidentally flash an old radio with out knowing? The newest radio that was just posted in the dev section is compatible. Basically the reason why the old radio wasnt compatible with the Danger SPL is because the Danger SPL is simply the MT3G SPL just modified to be used on the G1. The MT3G was never compatible with the older radio since it came out after the radio update. Also there are advantages to having the Hard SPL do some research before bashing SPLs.

I am not wrong our opinions just differ. I use to be against the Danger SPL also until I flashed it myself and seen that it was safe if you could follow directions which is why I made a How-To for others.

I'm not saying you are wrong, but I'm pretty sure he will.
Personally, I think the 2005 spl is pointless on a g1, but I flashed it ages ago and see no point reverting. There definitely is an advantage to the hardspl for non-US users though.. Some of the european people in particular need the ability to flash international images to get root in the first place.

HardSPL is a modification of the Engineering SPL by cmonex. In addition to the functionality of the Engineering SPL, HardSPL also allows NBH files to be used without matching the CID (carrier ID) check. At the current time the main benefit of this is to allow European G1s flash American NBH files and vice versa.

OP wants OE 1.2.2 , you need danger to flash, 'bugged' OE 1.2.2 means that danger is needed, OP downgrades, OP can't flash 1.2.2 therefore no point downgrading... No point downgrading fullstop... even if not 'broken' it would still flash over Danger.
tbh OE Devs/beta testers should have at least confirmed danger was not needed by downgrading and flashing.

Don't forget that a radio flash can be included in ANY update.zip archive.
That includes the possibility of accidentally flashing a MALICIOUS system image designed to cause bricks.
And as I've said before, there is no guarantee AT ALL regarding what some future radio will be compatible with. Just because HTC has ***LATELY*** been releasing radio images compatible with both SPLs does NOT mean that this trend will continue in the FUTURE. The ONLY guarantee you have is that HTC WILL NOT release RADIO UPGRADES for DREAM that ARE NOT compatible with the STOCK 0.95.x000 SPLs.

No... it doesn't.
It only lets you flash foreign NBH files.
If you have an engineering SPL, there is NO REASON AT ALL to flash NBH files!!!
In fact, if you have an engineering SPL, you SHOULD NEVER flash an NBH file because then you LOSE your ENGINEERING SPL as well as ROOT!!!!

Where on Earth would you be downloading malicious update.zips from? If you don't trust the source, you probably shouldn't try it. Also, you can open the zip and check for a radio image. And future radio images are not pushed to you anymore because you're on a custom rom. Why would you flash a random radio image you found here without other people trying it first?
Your arguments really do make sense. I'm not trying to say you don't have logical points. All I'm saying is if you use the brain, you probably won't brick your phone.

thanks again
how do you find out what spl you have ?
can someone breifly explain to me what SPL is
and i right in thinking SPL is what can make a brick ?
hold camera and power to boot in to the SPL (when the phone is off) and it will tell you. A rainbow screen means it's stock.
The SPLs other than stock allow you to use fastboot to flash things like splash images and restore nandroid backups. Haykuro's SPL (aka "Danger SPL") allows you to run HTC based ROMs like Hero and Rogers. Make sure you have the cupcake/1.5 radio (which you should already have) before flashing, otherwise it will brick.
Downgrade to Hard SPL from Danger SPL??

When I rooted my phone I installed Haykuro's danger spl with the latest radio. I didn't know it can potentially brick your phone (hence the danger part lol). I'm running cyanogen 4.0.1 and it's working just fine so far but I had 3 questions
1) Is Hykuro's Danger SPL only risky during the installation process or can it still possibly brick your phone after a successful installation (in other words, elaborate on the "danger" part please)
2) Can I downgrade to Hard SPL after installing the Danger SPL
3) How would I downgrade to Hard SPL?
Thanks guys!!!
If you are using Haykuro's spl there is no need to downgrade, it will allow you to run anything the hard spl will and more. The only "danger" with haykuros spl is when you flash it, if you successfully flashed it then you have nothing to worry about.
Rodey is correct, that H's SPL does everything hardSPL does (fastboot ect) and sloows you to run HTC Based ROMs. I don't know why you would want to downgrade but if you do it should be as simple as flashing the hardSPL update.zip. Get a secind opinion on that though if you want to try it, I'm no hardSPL expert.
You will only brick your phone with haykuro's SPL if you dont have a PVT board (camer+power to boot in to SPL, it will tell you) and if you dont have to 1.5 radio. To check either in the SPL or Settings > about phone check the baseband is version 2.22.19.26 (if you go to about phone there will be some crap before the number, ignore it).
IMO H's SPL is just handy to have. As long as you have the new radio and a PVT board nothing *touch wood* should go wrong.
One more thing, when flashing the SPL, don't play hot potato with your phone ;-)

If you didn't downgrade to RC29/7 then you should have the 1.5 radio. Check by going to Settings > About Phone and baseband version. It should be 2.22.19.26I.
I think you can just flash HardSPL as update.zip as you are, but I' not completely sure...

@Adrian K and nephron
When I unrooted my spare G1, I got it completely back to stock (circa October original shipment stock)
I downgraded my SPL successfully from the danger SPL all the way back to the original SPL. Also when I downgraded back DREAIMG.nbh, I confirmed at the time that the radio downgraded with it. My original post was on the unlockr.com when I was trying to help David of unlockr.com with some tutorials.
My original quote from unlockr
BTW: I have confirmed via the bootloader that the radio DOWNGRADES back to stock by applying the DREAIMG.nbh update FYI
From the bootloader I am now at

If you are talking about the one click method that is know on the market as recovery flasher, that only takes care of granting root access and flashing cyanogen's recovery image. The radio and spl upgrades are on you.
Try here for more explanation
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550050
yea that's what i'm talking about... now don't get me wrong, i believe you guys here on xda first and foremost... but theres a video tutorial on android and me, and it doesn't show them installing the radio and spl between using the recovery flasher and then installing cyanogens 4.0.1... are they not doing it right in the video or are the radio and spl optional? all the guides on here seem to say you do have to flash them but the video clearly shows them not stopping to do it. so maybe their video just sucks haha. but any idea on that?
thanks so much
I have 1 click rooted and installed Cyanogen 4.01, I am on CRC1, my understanding was as I was already on 1.5 Cupcake, my current SPL and Radio were current.
I read somewhere that the 1 click method is only temporary root. But if someone could elaborate on this it would be very helpful. Also what is this hard spl ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I rooted my phone using the "one click" root method (from standard Rogers 1.5 firmware) (http://zenthought.org/system/files/a...1-20090908.apk) and then updated to the latest radio:
•2.22.19.26I
•Baseband Version: 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
•http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecod..._22_19_26I.zip
I initiall got the box with the arrow then the phone continued to the Rogers boot screen and has been stuck there for 20 minutes at least! So i took out the battery and turned it back on again and it get stuck on the Rogers screen still!
Have I bricked it!?! I thought you can only brick it when you update the SPL ... all I did was update the radio. Please HELP!
If it helps I was following the instructions step by step from: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/how...page=0,2
according to the cyanogen guide I bricked my phone:
2.Be very careful of any upgrade or mod instructions that require you to install an HTC "Recovery" zip/image, a replacement radio, or anything that might cause a difference of versions thereby bricking your phone.
eg: you currently have an EBI1 system and recovery image. If you boot an EBI0 radio image you will no longer be able to boot your phone.

Thanks in advance.
P.S. to clarfiy every button combination I press comes up with the Rogers boot screen. Unless I'm a complete idiot and am not pressing the buttons correctly I don't see how I can fix the phone if it won't boot! I though bricked phones are totaly duds (eg. they don't turn on/no charging lights...)
see if you can get it recovery mod? (home+end)
The main cause of bricks is using an SPL that is incompatible with the IPL (radio), hence it is possible not only to brick by changing the SPL, but also by changing the IPL.

Not a chance.
If all he did was change the IPL, then the ONLY cause for it doing locking as it is, is that the SPL is not compatible with that IPL. It is, therefore, bricked.

Wow.... perhaps you should chill a little, these are Q&A forums, the purpose of which is to educate and help, not just baffle people with terms that its doubtful that they have heard before.
You'll see that i linked back to the thread that details everything that they should be to know not to make the mistake again, and anyone else that does a search will find it as well.
The rogers dream is compatiable with either radio. You just need your recovery/kernel version to match your radio version. The 2.22.19.26I radio needs 32B and 3.22.20.17 needs 32A recovery/kernel.
He needs to reflash the 3.22.20.17 radio then complete the rogers dream rooting guide on the cm wiki.
I rooted my phone so long ago just following JFs instructions I cant remember what spl I installed and now with the need for the Danger SPL or Eng SPL to run the new eclair roms I wanted to know what I am running I booted into the spl and it says HSPL10.95.3000 so I am pretty sure that I am using the Hard spl, is that correct ? Does this mean I can not use the new eclair roms with installing a new spl ?
If you booted into fastboot and it said HSPL10.95.3000, then yes, you are running the Hard SPL, and yes, you need to install the new SPL before flashing any Eclair ROMs.

according to one ROM thread I read the creator of the ROM said you must have Danger or Engineering SPL. I have heard of people bricking there phones using Haykuro SPL. Thats great news though, I had thought they were stopping G1 updates after 1.6
This might sound like a dumb question but I ask it because I was previously on the .11 radio and my phone wouldnt upgrade the radio at all no matter how many times i flashed it. I unrooted and rerooted and im at the .29 radio right now thanks to DREAMIMG.nbh but now i cant even upgrade to the .11 .26i or the latest radio through Amon_RA recovery, im still stuck on Stock SPL so i cant fastboot the radio....is there a way to modify DREAIMG.nbh so that it automatically flashes the latest radio?
Nope, its signed and changin it would remove the signiture.
Is it possible to resign it?
If not then is there any other way to force a radio update on the phone while running stock spl? My radio only downgrades and it refuses to upgrade any further..the call quality is just awful now, I really need some help please!
