need help booting - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i`m sorry about the new threat but i`m new here and i could`t find anything to help me ..
how do i boot a new rom to my htc dream ..
i know that in win mobile you need to hard spl first then just download the rom you want and that`s it.. how do i do`it whith a android device?
thank you in advance and i`m sorry again for the new thread

Hold down "Home" and hit "Power." Then hit Alt+F.
Also, this should be in Q&A.

i am actually wanting a step by step instruction.
something from the unboxing to the actual booting proces ..
ok the phone is unboxed obviously and unlocked as well .. what next ?

I like the description of the process on this site. it is complete but a little old. The links should work.

READ THE WHOLE THING FIRST.
Also check out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
Lots of the same stuff with more options.
There are new versions of the recovery image and the Roms which are in the development section on xda. Just be sure to read everything a few times and you'll have no trouble.

i will check the site now
thank you

And please please please make sure you understand everything about Haykuro's (Danger/Death) SPL IF you decide to flash it. It's pretty much the only way you can brick your G1. If your ROM doesn't require Death SPL then skip it until you get the hang of flashing things.

Maybe CID Lock problem ? NEED HELP !!!!

Hi, After the soft reset comand, I removed the battery from my Wizard. After that the followin problem was appear: the phone is bringing up to the splash screen and STOP on this position.I have tried to download another Rom but the problem still is the same. My Phone is not CID unlock and before this, I cooked own rom like is writen here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271043 . So any idea how to wake-up my phone MDA Vario.
Ok forgive me if I'm wrong here, I don't really want to judge before I know the full story, but seems to me your brain went on strike momentarily. First rule of flashing any unofficial rom CID UNLOCK YOUR DEVICE. Anyways sorry, I just wanted to say something so it doesn't happen to you again, that said, what rom did you try to upgrade to? what rom did you try to downgrade to after that? is your device a G3 or G4?
If your device is a G3 I would recommend downgrading to this rom by xelecin
ftp://xda:[email protected]_RUU_Wizard_1081002_108_10910_ENG_US.exe
it will ask you if you want to CID unlock your device at the start so you shouldn't need to worry about forgetting this time , if you can't connect your device to activesync just go into the bootloader (hold the camera, voice dial buttons while pressing the reset button) and once it connects run the set-up.
Oh another thing before I forget..... do some searching and read up a bit, because this is a pretty common topic on this forum, best of luck and hope everything works out ok. If not, report back.
*edit* I just noticed the thread that you linked to, I actually wasn't aware that this was possible, but anyways I think it's still much safer to CID unlock your device if possible, and another thing you might try replying in that thread if it doesn't work out since they should be more knowledgeable in the matter..... and that would help keep the forums less cluttered *edit*
Thanks, for your help, Unfortunately you are totaly right for my stupid act (again). At first i tried to solve the problem alone , but whole day I roam through this forum to find solution but I can't find the same problem like my. Maybe because of my ..... brain .Anyway I am with G3. NOW I have
IPL 1.0
SPL 2.26
GSM 01.09.11
OS 1.5.4.2
This is after this procedure http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263116
I tried also to download also and Molski's 2.26.10.2 AKU2.3 Rom a.k.a. 2.26.10.2 Final Edition Rom, but the problem is the same : The splash screen is running and STOP and.... nothing.
I can go to bootloader and can download new rom, but I can't start fhe phone.
Yeah I know these forums aren't the easiest in which to look for info. So you can go into the bootloader, that's good. Don't try to go to a AKU2.x rom or later, keep it under that, so no 2.26 roms at all. 105, or 108 roms should be good.
Did you try the rom from the link I provided or the one on the thread? and afterwards did it go into the phone at all? My friends MDA had a similar problem last week, caused by the same thing, though in your case I see the SPL isn't updating when you install new roms on his it was the os that wasn't updating, but as soon as I installed that rom I recommended it booted up fine, then I updated his device to molski's 2.3.
I'll check back in a few so let me know how's it going.

Ok, but tell me how to solve this :
"qiote"
8. Open ActiveSync, Explore and copy enablerapi.cab from your PC's C:\ (remember that's where you extracted lokiwiz to...) to you device, I don't care where.
9. Pick up your PDA, File Explorer, find the enablerapi.cab and click it.
"quote"
I don't have access to the phone explorer and phone at all.
masr1979 I have tried the rom you give me, but it look like there is some things I don't understand: When I start the exe file i have choice <continue> .Whet I type <c> 2(two) time the soft tell me <no device found> and order me to continue with copy ???. After few seconds tell me that Unlocker ..... Done!, and start HTC wizard Unlocker and NOTHING !!! Stop on this position more then 15 min. and only the led for charging on the phone is active.
Forget all about unlocking. Until you can boot the device completely it'll never work.
Try and install an official 2.x ROM on your device.
My suspicion is that you originally has a G4 device, which is bad because if you DID have a G4 you have a brick now...
Can you remember your phones old ipl/spl? for your sake I hope it wasn't something in this format 2.XX.000X.

Of course I'm not sure, but I thing it was 2.21. Anyway did you think that is posible to cook my own rom in G4? I'm totally confused.
Every time when I upload new rom I have this:

Thanks, but I try to find oficial rom but without success. And very interesting thing I found.. when I start to upload new rom the soft start to check my old rom and after that tell me that i have GE (german) language, but my old was WWE ?
Is it posible some one to give me some link to official 2.x ROM but for T-mobile german language.
Well the other day I tried finding that german rom for a while.... that search was going nowhere, I saw this thread, I don't know if you might want to check into it and maybe try it out. There's mixed results apparently but who knows

I cant seem to fighure out how to Hard spl my phone

Yes yes i kno i looked at both explanations on how to do it but i still cant comprehend on how to do it.
I asked questions how in 2 threads about it and have no reply's so i decided to make a thread lol
I downloaded the pack from one of the guides i cant remember whos, and it has the 3 files i need to instal onto my phone, but there not in cab form, there ZIP files, is that how there susposed to be.
I read both guides and neither said where to install them at.
Also do i need a custom rom to finish hard spl'ing my phone?
Because one guide had it showing to put a rom on during hard spling or something and the other dont.
Im sorry if this is a stupid question but no1 was replying to my questions under the 2 guides.
If some one could give a step by step DETAILED. (detailed like telling a foreigner or a toddler) steps on how to hard spl and if i need a rom afterwords...
.
Thanks
I know how that feels... Check out this thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358225"... There is a step by step on how to hardSPL... And may also wanna check "http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL%20Questions%3F" that explains what is hardSPL and softSPL and what is SPL hehehe...
And well the files MUST be unzipd, then u copy/paste em into ur cellphone and run em.
U'll know u have hardSPL when u enter bootloader mode (hold camera button and then with stylus press softreset, release stylus and hold camera until u see a 3 color screen, there it will say 4.xxxx Yang - thats the hardSPL because it stays on ROM instead of the RAM - thats softSPL)...
Thanks.
Do i just paste the files onto the phone not in any specific folder? (mycomputer;mobile device;...........)
This is pry one of the eaisest things to do and i cant understand lol.
-If i mess up, will i mess up my phone/brick it? (knowing me i will i mess up on everything lol)
No offense Joe (Im just taking an extremely educated guess that Joe is your name lol) but if your reading the threads and still are unsure, I wouldnt do it myself if I were you, not to say your incapable but mistakes happen and Id hate to see you brick it or mess anything up! Do you have any friends or family that have any expriance? Or you could go to my favorite place for information.... Google! look up info on SPL,HardSPL,Flashing,ROM,Bricking,etc. But if you incist on doing it blind I wont stop ya lol!

restoring a bricked phone

any ideas.......read all the threads here, nothing works.
i had the 1.7 orange version. hardspl'd it and put a 6.5 dev on there, but radio quality was poor. so followed the procedure to put the stockspl back on there. But nothing else works, I can't restore the original rom (grabbed from here) as the screen stays at 0%. tried to hardspl it again but that doesn't work either.
what do i do now .........?
thanks.
Was restoring the stockspl succesfull?
What info do you get in bootloader?
The info is:
JADE110 64M
SPL-1.40.0000
MicroP-Jade (LED) v5
It still has windows 6.5 rom on there tho, which is seriously messed up now.

Am afraid you have a problem, you should have down it the other way around...first stock ROM then stock SPL.....but this is merely a fact then helping you out, i have absolutely no clue how to go from here...sorry!
Maybe someone who can offer some practical assistance will be along soon ......
@Nirak: yes, I misread it. What a silly thing to do. Do you think HTC can help. The phone is in warranty.
Well, since you've got stock SPL on it you could give it a try. When they start asking questions you could say you tried to install a WM 6.5 ROM by accident.., dunno if they buy it...
But on the other hand, being honest is maybe better, they might just help you out or else you have to pay, but since you have a rather expensive paperweight right now, this might be an option too.
BTW.. did you try to contact one of the releasers of the HardSPL? (Cmonex or Olipro), you never know where they can come up with....
May be they will see this thread. .... otherwise how can I contact them?
Thanks for the ideas.
Have you tried to flash your rom through the boot loader mode

Doesn't work because it needs a functioning windows mobile, which I don't have. Mine gets stuck.

Yes, nothing happens. The screen is stuck at 0%. I tried using a htc original rom, it got to 1% and said something like not suitable for this device.
I sure this sounds rather silly ,and I am sure you have tried it,have you tried removing the battery and then putting it back again.
Not sure if you tried this already:
Run HardSPL when your phone is in tricolor mode (bootloader?).
Then reflash a stock ROM, also in tricolor mode.
Finally, flash stock SPL.
Hope this helps.
@izzysc: I have tried it (will try again though) in running HardSPL when phone is in tricolor mode. It did not work.

Unable to install rom

Hi,
Hope someone can help.
Been trying to instal Dutty's wm6.5 R12 rom on my touch hd but whatever I try, it just gets stuck at the screen with the bar and stay at 0%.
I have searched the forum and tried almost everything I could find. SSPL HSPL USPL and all won't work.
Anyone have any ideas for a noob?
i doubt if you can find someone who can guide you step by step, i suggest you study more, i was like you before, but i just persevered, unti i was confident enough to flash my first cooked ROM. CAUSENOT ALL BLACKBONE, have the same default factory settings, different stock ROM versions and different spl.it does require time and patience, but in the end this will al l payback.

I mean I have read those guides on the forum and been busy for a week on it now. I know what spl version I have and which version of hard spl i would need and so on. But it just will not open up.
So if there is someone out there that wouldn't mind HELPING me I would realy apreciate it. But just telling me to search better is no help at all. I have searched with all terms I know but haven't found the right soulution by myself. That is why I ask for HELP, not for smart asses.

look, no one is being a smart ass here. in addition, your description of the the steps you've followed are very vague. my friend, we see 5-10 posts like this every day and in every case, the OP has missed/skipped one or two steps in the flashing process. simply stated, the guides WILL help you flash your device. if as you stated, "SSPL HSPL USPL and all won't work you have to complete this task first. you HAVE to update your SPL before you can flash Dutty's ROM. put your device in bootloader mode and if IT DOES NOT display the following, you will not be able to flash a ROM:
BLAC120 (or BLAC110) 32M
SPL-1.56.01 OliNex
MicroP-BlackStone (LED) v 6
you HAVE to complete this step before you can flash any WM 6.5 ROM. read the guides, make your own easy-to-understand-checklist and follow it to confirm you've completed ALL the steps. be patient and you'll succeed. as a reference, you can use the links in my signature to help you with the process. good luck.
Hi,
I not sure you read the Dummies guide yet.
[TUT] Dummies guide: flashing 1.56+ roms [v 2.0] - [HSPL][USPL]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
Troubleshooting - manual SSPL
* Boot up your phone.
* Copy SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe to your phone. In a file browser on your phone browse to where you copied SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe and run it.
* Your phone will reboot into its bootloader and should show SPL v 1.07.OliNex.
* When it shows USB at the bottom then run HSPLWrapper_blackstone_156OilNex.exe from your computer again.
* Go to step HSPL3 if successful.
Try to follow this step. Copy the file to phone and boot from there. then u should be able to do so.
Hi guys and girls,
thanks for trying to help. I do understand that people like me who are new to flashing a cooked rom will ask many silly questions. I'll try and formulate better which steps I have done.
I noticed on my bootloader screen that I have spl-1.54.0000. I therefor downloaded the file SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.zip and transfered the exe file to my phone memory. I then started it on my phone. It starts the bootloader screen and tells me:
BLAC100 MFG 32M SS-BC
1.07.0liNex XA
MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6
From hereon I have tried to run USPL but it tells me it cannot connect due to faulty USB drivers which I have updated with the supplied drivers as indicated. Even with a different cable and a different USB port, USPL will not connect.
I have also tried to run the RUU HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe but it then starts the screen with the percentage bar and gets stuck. After a few minutes it comes with either error 260 or 262 wicht is an update failure I have read. Just the fix to start over again and reset your systems didn't do anything for me.
Since I know that poeple are able to use this rom I am defenite that it is by my own shortcommings that I can't seem to do it. But after having tried a lot, I can not see what I am doing wrong anymore.
Hope this is a better explenation and thanks sofar already.
Ps: I have tried both USPL3 and USPL5 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3930878&postcount=3. I just can't seem to connect with USPL.
If you run win7 (and vista) x64 especially, loading unsigned drivers for usb doesnt work by default, this might be your problem.
You could try the following, boot you pc and just after the bios is loaded press F8 (or just keep pressing it multiple times) and a menu will appear which includes: "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" try this, and after boot you should be able to make the usb drivers work, so reinstall them and try uspl (dont forget to not allow usb connections in windows mobile device center)
Hope this helps, if not, move along

Hello everyone,
I have a rooted g1 and I was putting on the 2.1 rom on my phone. I was following a guys instruction off of youtube but it totally messed my phone up. Now its stuck on the pitcure with the open box pointing a yellow arrow on the phone right next to it(the update screen), what do I do??? Thanks for your help.
You dont even have root then...If it shows what i think your taking about....You should follow this simple enough my little brother(7yr) could master it:

If you had root why did you flash the radio again?
That gives bricks applying radio after having root is pointless.

But you have to have a custom recovery image before you can flash either of those.

Ahh you might brick, you seem to have flashed the Radio made for HTC hero not G1....Notice the title: "How to get Android 2.1 on HTC Hero"
To use Hero 2.1 on G1 it shows it here @ XDA, you only needed Haykuro SPL and the 26I radio/
If rec mode is working then you arent brick or if you can get into bootloader.
how do i get in rec mode or bootloader
Hold down home when turning on the phone=recovery
Hold down camera button while powering on= bootloader
If you can't get into either one of those, likely bricked. I know with WM devices flashing a radio for another phone is one of the fastest ways to brick your phone, Android seems to be much more forgiving, so hopefully you will be lucky and if recovery and bootloader don't work, you can possibly get ADB to work.
If you don't figure out how to do this BEFORE you do it, you will likely brick your phone, if not sooner, soon enough. Doing it along with a video isn't enough to make sure you won't brick your phone.
Read through the steps of rooting, flashing a basic, stock ROM, do that a time or two, and then get into the more up-to-date stuff.
Your method of going about a new task is going to... well, it isn't going to work, unless you are really, really lucky.
