Please help!!! I started messing with my phone about a week ago and I install the Android 1.6 dev. It will not flash anything, not even an spl. What am I missing. I almost feel bad asking because all of you seem to have such knowledge of this stuff. Thank you very much
I don't wanna bring your hopes down thinking this was help lol but u prolly tried flashing cyanogens new rom and its funny cause i was JUST about to post this same shiet. but anyways. i was thinking about flashing the dream file but i dunno if that owuld brick my phone or not. and just to clarify its the htc 1.6 dev right? i mean if thats the only 1? lol
yup
That is exactly what happened! I don't understand how this isn't a major issue and posted everywhere. If you figure it out make sure you let me know and I will do the same. Take it slow!
Can you explain what the problem problem is? What have you been trying to flash? Do you get errors? What recovery image are you using?
Btw, if you're flashing an SPL or radio with Cyans recovery, you can't use the trackball. It must be an update.zip which you install by pressing alt-s and reboot using home+power. If you don't it wont be installed.
Well, I don'tk now about the original poster, but I've tried flashing the OTA cupcake rom to downgrade. renamed to update, went into recovery but it says its not authorized. and.. im afraid to put the dream.nbh or w/e cause it might brick the phone.
PS: This is 1.6 without root. this is the dev ver. so we have the exclamation point recovery not cyan.

okay first you need a app called flashrec it will dl cyan recovery image then you reboot.But you need root first also teh dreaimg.nbh file which is RC29.
1.5 cupcake rc30 or something and up was patched with the one click root, that's why we were trying to downgrade to 1.5..
nothing works
I can't use the flash rec because it won't back up the recovery image! Everything I try to flash just goes to installation aborted! I don't know what to do!
It's b ecause 1.5 rc30+up (including 1.6) patched up the 1 click, but an answer would be nice
flash the dream image and start from scratch. that takes everything back to stock, then you can re-root. This thread can walk you through it

it doesnt work
I already tryed that but it won't let me flash the spl!
i tried that too
I tried flashin the dreaimg too. I have ran jf1.5 before and flashed themes and everything. That's why I don't understand why I can't flash anything. The 1.6 work but the recovery image isn't letting me flash anything at all! Once I installed the 1.6 dev it flashed me from the 1.4 cyanogen image to the exclamation image with a differnt bootloader. Ever since then I can't flash anything.
i think he means using camera + power unroot it.but im guessing we don't flash the SPL since we can't, we just flash the dream.nbh?
After Factory Reset
Guys,
I did factory reset but now I can not work with HTC dream as it is requesting me to cerate a gmail account, and I can not cerate because I do nto have internet in my mobile operator.
Does anyone knwo how to bypass this mesage?
please help meee.
r,
bhowd u do the factory reset?
I did it!!!
I had to download sdk, get it working, fastboot the the cyanogen 1.4 recovery image. After the it let me install all of my updates. YAAAAYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
could you tell me the steps of what you did?
I'm stuck with ADP1 1.6 ><
Thanks a lot!!
This will work!!!
Trust me this will work because it took me hours to figure out. Install sdk, get it to work. They explain how to use the program on the forum. After you finally get into fastboot flash the cm 1.4 recovery image. After you do that you can bootup into that recovery and it will then read all of your zip files unlike that stupid exclamation recovery.
slightly confused
So you mean you used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010 to figure out how to use the sdk right?
If not, can show me the link to that guide?
Many thanks!!!
yes
Yes, I used the sticky notes at the top of Dream Q&A to figure it out and it wasn't too fun.
I just got a replacement G1 from Tmobile, for free bless their hearts, cause my headset is going to the crapper. I'm trying to update my raido to the 2_22_19_26I, as I did before with my first G1, so I can install the DangerSPL. I have tried with the stock recovery, Cyan's 1.4, and Amon-RA's 1.5.2 to install it, and each time, it goes about the update process as normal, asks me to reboot, I see the picture of the chip and then it takes me back to recovery.
Each time, though, I'm still at the 1_22_12_29. I check by turning on the phone, then Settings --> About Phone, and also by going into the SPL, still at the 1.
Any ideas?
EDIT: also I'm using the radio on HTC's developer website, so it's legit.
Uh, i'm not XDA police but i'm pretty sure this goes in Q&A.
You need a custom recovery before you can even upgrade the radio but are you on 1.5 doing the one-click?

When your in rec mode you must flash the radio while there, i heard the rec gets deleted if you dont update the radio when you install a recovery.
rec mode? please restate what you just said.

The guide says flash the radio while your in recovery mode not after.
i've done the recommended one-click method, even went back and let my phone update itself back up to stock, but i still have radio 1.

Can you load roms since you said you tried recoveries?
I can load everything, ROM's, SPL's, different recoveries, boot.img's.
I've tried updating the radio before I upgrade the SPL, after, with a stock recovery, or with Amon-RA's/Cyanogens. I don't know why it's not working.

Donut roms(1.6) dont need the Haykuro or Hard SPL you can load roms with the one you have now.If you want to use hero or eclair then you'll need the radio and SPL.
Also if the radio is anything like the spl, don't use the trackball while flashing it
Another user and I, have this same issue with no solution, we have threads in dream q&a and dream general. I also used recovery flasher to gain root when I was on cupcake. My radio is older than yours though =/ if you can't find the threads ill post the links tmw, as I'm abt to sleep now..good luck hopefully we can all find a solution, or at least identify the source of the problem..
not sure if this will be of much help, but you can always try to revert back to the stock firmware using the dreaimg.nbh file and stock spl.
i had a friend who, like with your radio, couldn't flash the more recent custom recoveries.
whatever the reason was, i suggested that he just "unroot" and go back to android 1.0, stock spl, stock radio , whatever, and just re-root from there

happy flashing!
I apologize to sound rude, but I've been with XDA and the G1 rooting community since 1.0. I know these are good, helping tips and guides, but I've tried to explain that I've done everything like that already, gone back to stock, gone up to cyan's 4.2.13, gone back to stock, then up to a stock 1.6, even with the stock updates, when it says writing radio, radio doesn't update.
your replies are appreciated, just not really relevant or helpful.
I was setting up a friends g1 and same thing, he got the phone from warranty exchange and I was able to downgrade, gain root, change recovery image and flash enom's rom with no issue. But upon boot up I saw his radio image was .29 and tried to update the radio. I kept getting something like "line 2: getting prop(device = dream)"
So I started all over rc29, root, recovery image and every time I try to update radio, same issue. Even when use Cyan's method and try the developer's image with radio update, it fails.
In the end, since enom's rom can use any radio, he was ok with it. But really i wanted to get his g1 on the latest radio image. I feel your pain as I researched the errors as well and couldn't find anything. Good luck.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm going through, except it's not throwing up any errors or anything. it updates, says "writing radio image...", reboots with the HTC symbol, and goes back to Recovery and Formats the CACHE like always. *sigh* maybe T-mobile found a way to mess with us after all?
Just a question, when u rooted, did u do it the old way or new way. And by old way that I used, was the DREAIMG.nbh, then on home screen the type cd /sdcard blah blah...
I'm inviting all you guys shoot me down for the noob i am.
I've search and i have found, I've read but only partially understood.
the background:
-Nexus one on vodafone epf30
-Downgraded to erd79 using fastboot (via Terminal in Mac-osx).
-Rotted and installed Amon recovery with sucess.
-At this stage i tried to install a variety of different pre rooted roms
- upgraded to frf91 OTA after giving up on trying to root froyo
I basically just would Froyo 2.2 rooted on nexus one.
I've found a variety of different methods and techs but haven't had any success i can downgrade again and again but each attempt i reach the update.zip stage and simply get a varification failed message.it's likley ive missed something here?!
I'm on mac and I'm sure I'm not having the update.zip.zip issue. ive checked and double checked, (that same issue caught me out before on symbian).
Does anyone dhave a simple deffinitive soloution or can point me in the right direction/
im aware this post will cause a shower of "search you noob SCUM!" style posts.
cheers in advance

Read from:
"By Popular Demand (Credit to lox):
Update.zip to flash with custom recovery"
Download, update using AmonRa's recovery, reboot to bootloader, flash new radio from any Froyo ROM thread in Development, reboot, enjoy.
hi, thanks for your reply. I'm pretty sure i have tried this method. if i down grade to erd79 can i apply this from there or should i go up to ere27 ? and does this require amons recovery or can it be done from a standard recovery?
Sorry im a symbian migrant :-( this is all new and exciting
ok so i down graded again to erd79 then rooted and installed AMONs recovery
installation of update.zip fails with the verification failed, is there something about AMONs custom recovery that im missing should what could be the cause for the verification to fail. im pretty sad now.
maybe there is a way to flash pre rooted Froyo directly using super boot?
maybe i need to be up
You've already installed a custom recovery. Basically you are done the whole rooting process.
No more need to downgrade or anything of the sort. Now you just go into recovery and flash what you want, no other steps.
Now you should be able to flash any custom rom meant for unlocked users.
You may be trying to flash the official 2.2 rom, try looking for a 2.2 for root users. Or try flashing CyanogenMod 6.
Are you sure you have Amon's Recovery because my buddy though he had it and he didnt which is why he couldnt install a rooted froyo ROM. Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702191
ok ill give that rom a shot though i think my main issue could be the fact im using mac os x the downloader in safari automatically unzips .zip files so maybe recompressing the zip is causing the varification to fail.
ill have a go when im home and at a faster net connection work is like 0.2 up and down makes me feel ill!
Oh ok. I have a MAC aswell but I use google chrome for my browser.
OMG! mods lock this down! no need for anything more to be added!
MAC = FAIL
Windows+win
all you have to do is download using anyother browser DONT USE SAFARI!
and success will be yours! rebooting now to pre rooted custom frf91 WOOP!
Hey OP,
Actually you can still use Safari as it does unzip the file automatically but it also downloads the zip file so you end up with both. At least my MAC does this. MAC's are great, Safari on the other hand is junk so don't blame the whole computer for the browsers fault.
Anyone got it or know where I can find it? Would like to have it so I can flash official updates. Been searching for it with no luck. Tried using among RA 2.0.0 but still failed.
take the version that suits you from the ones that say (completely stock)
http://android.modaco.com/content/g...build-info-and-repacks-stock-rooted-deodexed/
I suggest the last one if you really want COMPLETELY stock, others are just with root/radio update mixes...although I doubt you need the radio
Is the recovery image from FRG33 the same? Have you tried flashing that one with fastboot? If it doesn't work you can always flash a different one.

waaahhh sorry I misread the topic XD I thought he wanted a whole rom...
Forget my links then, they don't have a stock recovery in them
Just as a note, you don't need to have a stock recovery to get OTA updates...as long as your recovery does NOT check for signatures...else you can simply install the update manually.
But anyways, if you REALLY want a stock recovery, just find any official update and flash the recovery.img that's included with it.
I tried using among RA 2.0.0 and toggle the signature off so it wouldn't check, but it still failed. I'm trying the frg83 to frg83d from the modaco site.

If you have RA 2 working, you can grab the update here and flash as zip

That's the same one I already tried, wont flash even with RA working. The rom I use is stock frg83 but with root. It always seems to fail to update as it trys to verify what I'm currently running.

As of my small experience so far i can tell that it is very hard to trace where the error is, when using cooked stuff, just like all of a sudded i got this bloody red trackball all the time, when ever the screen is on.
Ok, if you got some little time, here's how i would go for that: (assuming you want pure stock with root)
- Wipe
- Either fastboot the few images contained in the latest modaco stock rom, or say rather as he described there, alternatively just install the 2 files from shipped rom, one will be named PASSIMG.zip, the other update.zip and proceed as the popular threads describe
- If all is "original" you'll be prompted by google to download the update, once you got the frg83D, you can then use Super Once Click rooting 1.5.1, it still works for the updated thing.
I'm convinced there are a lot of similar threads and solutions to your problem, but you may deliver a bit more description to let the community see you did some research.
I returned completely to stock using the info from another thread on here and it worked perfectly. Also returned to stock recovery. As soon as it booted back up I got the ota for frg83d. I then used super one click root. It was really easy to setup and use. Bring on 2.3!
I just got a Nexus One that was ROMed and rooted (has RA-nexus-v2.0.0 recovery) and enom's 2.14.2 ROM. I don't very much like it (seems slow). I am trying to go back to STOCK Android 2.2.2, with Root access, in preparation for 2.3's release. I know how to use ADB so that's not my problem. I've downloaded FRG91 in hopes that I will get an OTA to FRG83G. Now here's where I start getting problems. I go into Recovery, go to Flash Zip from SD card, and try to flash it, but it says it doesn't have signatures. md5sum is correct so that's not it. Can anyone help me out? I've tried doing about 10 different things so far and none of them have worked. Maybe someone else has seen this? TIA.
Have you try to toggle signature verification off?

Alright. I think I got it to work. Had to do some fenagelling, but I got it back to stock 2.2.2 Official.
Admin, can you delete this post?
You can't flash stock roms without stock recovery, Google's signature is on the stock roms so only stock recovery recognizes it. There is also a option in your custom recovery to turn of signature verification. I wouldn't recommend that you try, because I don't know what would happen. But it's a option, if your that hard pressed to go back to stock. Another note, since the G1 days the devs built their roms to stop OTA updates. So if you flash stock recovery, then you may need a stock rom to receive a OTA. I wouldn't get my hopes up about getting Gingerbread or Honeycomb OTA. I don't see anything on any android forum about this happening, I could be wrong though. If you can get your hands on a stock recovery image then you can flash with adb or fastboot commands. Good luck.

Turning off signature verification works fine. No problems whatsoever flashing stock ROM/updates.

OTA updates have nothing to do with a stock recovery. All newer versions of Amon_RA and CWM custom recoveries have signature verification toggles, so you can install OTA updates without problems.
The only thing is that you need to have a stock ROM (not de-odexed, and not an AOSP build) for the OTA update to install.
