How to revert back to original rom.

Hi i have a htc dream and rooted/flashed it to tmobile g1 with a hero rom. Now i'm selling the phone and would like to revert it back to my default rom as in how it was when i brought the phone.
how should i do about it?
Thanks!

I am guessing sense you have a hero rom you have Haykuro's spl, if you need to revert back to the orginal rom just go over to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592662 , jonzina has the step's to follow, just follow to the T and you will be fine.

there is also a walkthrough at www.cyanogenmod.com in the wiki
pretty simple process. flash the rc29 dream.nbh and wait for an OTA update to get you up to date pretty much. just follow the steps in the wiki.

the problem is, mine is a singtel set, its not a t-mobile g1, its a htc dream though now it becomes g1 after rooting and rom. i want to revert back to before. can i still use the dream.nbh?

Just a heads up, if you have the 1.33.2005 SPL required for Hero ROMs and you use DREAIMG.NHB to downgrade, you will brick.
To avoid that:
1) Wipe then flash a ROM that does *not* require 1.33.2005, (eg Cyanogen Mod)
2) Flash the stock SPL as update.zip

i'm so confused now =/
edit:how do i check spl ver?

With the phone powered off, press and hold the camera button and power, which will bring you into bootloader mode...if you were running a hero rom, you should have 3 androids on skateboards at the bottom of the screen (1.33.2005 SPL)...if so, do what AdrianK said

ok! but i still can use the DREAIMG.NHB from t-mobile? as mine is the not the t-mobile set, mine is a singtel htc dream. able to use the same method?

Some people WANT custom roms on their phone and are scared to do it themselves. Im recommending Cyanogens rom because its so fast and stable. If I were you I would post it as is, that way it stands out from the 100+ other G1 sellers.
If you don't see the response you were looking for just update it and reinstall the stock one.... just my 2 cents.

haha..how you know i'm selling.. you are right maybe i should try what you suggested. anyway how do i change roms? my current hero rom is the my one and only one.. likey to be out dated and laggy. last time follow guide to root and flash, what about updating? just dl rom and flash? haha

HTC Dream Help, please.

Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum. So...Hi
Anyways, I've got a problem with my Rogers Htc Dream. I was trying to root it and was following a guide on youtube. Then i realized rooting for T-Mobile G1s and Rogers HTC Dreams were different. Now i notice when i turn on my phone it shows a T-Mobile screen instead of the regular Rogers loading screen. I guess i installed the T-Mobile firmware on my phone. I checked in settings the current firmware im running is now 1.0. So, i'm wondering if anyone can help me put back on rogers firmware on my phone and also link me to a Rogers HTC dream rooting guide. Thanks in advance.

Okay so, the root worked for you? Everythings alright its just the start up screen that changed?

To get back to stock rogers firmware apply the update from rogers found here:

Then follow this guide to get your phone rooted and install cyanogenmod:

I'm abit scared to follow that guide because there seems to be some ifs about it, like it says avoid anything that writes to the kernel, otherwise you're dead. And it says you require a EBI1, how do I check if I have EBI1
"The Recovery Flasher utility will only work if you're on a version of Android that Rogers/HTC hasn't yet fixed.
If you are at the recovery screen, move on to the next step."
Well how do I know if they haven't fixed it? And if we can't use fastboot to flash images, as Rogers prevents it, then if this procedure goes south we're stuck? I can verify the MD5 of the SPL update ZIP 20 times, but that's not going to guarantee that when I flash it it's not going to brick my phone
edit: I booted with camera and power and it says hboot is 1.33.0009, does this mean I don't have to risk bricking when I root? The tutorial is for 1.33.0010.

I think that it makes it sound a bit worse than it is. I have never tried it but from what I have read if you boot a EBI0 kernel with a EBI1 radio it will just freeze. You will just have to pull out the battery, boot into recovery and then flash a EBI1 kernel on top.
Rogers is bad for releasing updates for their devices. All their Android devices still run cupcake, even the new LG Eve. This is to our advantage because none of the rogers firmwares are fixed. You can give the Recovery Flasher a try because the worst that will happen if you have a fixed rom is nothing.
If you have a 0009 spl you can follow the guide here to update your spl and recovery then start following the guide at Installing HTC System Image. You could also just use the method on the wiki for 0010, I cant see any reason that wouldn't work.

My phone is perfectly fine after the gaining root. So far not much of a difference, except for the virtual keyboard and two more screens and a few more apps and options.

I really want to root so I can install applications to the memory card, and to get 1.6, but I'm really really really scared that it's going to break. I got the phone from ebay, so I'm pretty sure if it breaks I'm out $300 bucks. I'm really at a cross road here!

Ya i was kinda scared the first time too. Then I just bit the bullet and did it. Try to read through the forums as much as you can to learn as much as you can about how your phone works. Also make sure that you understand each step completely and what it is doing to your phone. This is what I did and it made me feel a lot better about the process.
The main risk is flashing the radio and spl once you are done that the chance of bricking is almost none of not none. If you have any questions that you can't find answers to by yourself just ask and me or someone else on the forum will answer them for you.

Yeah, if you're on the Rogers HTC dream, just follow the Rogers heres your real root thread, and all the guides he post. And follow it while filling in the rest with logic.
You'll probably get lost like I did, don't be afraid to ask around.

does anyone know the warranty if it bricks?

Hey everyone, thanks for the help. I went through with the root and everything seems to be working fine. I can make phone calls and everything. I'm running a hero rom. The only thing thats different is it shows a T-Mobile screen instead of Rogers. I don't think thats a big deal, is it?

Rooting and installing new rom. Non-noob inside.

Okay, I've done my fair share of searching numerous forums. So, please don't flame for some noobish questions.
I owned a G1 before and had no problem re-flashing a new rom image every other day. Maybe it's the price tag on my N1 that has had me hesitating with rooting it.
Ok, here is my 'problem' I just got the new OTA update FRG83. I would like to know exactly how I would go about rooting and installing a new ROM on my N1.
Also, what ROM is the best out there for the N1, I used cyanogen on my G1 forever so I really trust his ROMS.
Basically I'm just really afraid of messing my phone up, although I'm sure it's just as easy as it was on my G1.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Right... I've read that.
Just making sure I'm following the correct steps.
First: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792016
Second: Does bootloader have to be unlocked?
Third: Recovery Image
Fourth: Wipe/flash new rom
Anything I'm missing?

No need to unlock - the whole point is rooting w/o unlocking.
Flash the recovery using flash_image method.
Nothing else missing.

This thread seems to help with the rooting process. I am already rooted, so I cannot test it.

As for a ROM to use, I use Enomther's official Nexus. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614427 I have tried several different ROM's and this one is hands down the best. I have not used CM6 since RC1, so I cannot speak for how that is now. But Enomther's was way better than CM6 RC1 IMO.

I'm with stickerbob with being rooted and loved enomther's. Now I've moved to MIUI, and I don't believe I'll be looking back anytime soon. Love MIUI, once I flashed the English translation pack 3 that is =D it rocks IMO. If you wanna look into it after root...

[Q] Trouble Upgrading T-Mobile UK G1

Hi All,
I received my second hand G1 today from ebay running (I think) the stock UK 1.6 android rom. I wanted to upgrade to the latest custom roms and so I followed a guide which told me to downgrade to version 1.0. I then tried to follow the guide but I kept running into trouble because of USA/UK differences so now I am trying my best to restore it back to stock UK 1.6. I am currently running 1.5 (CRB43) and I can't get any further as I keep running into verification failures on everything I try.
I tried this: signed-kila-CRC1-from-CRB43-FIX.7ca4a1d7.zip but to no avail (verification failure)
I'm a newby when it comes to Android flashing (give me a windows phone anyway) and I wondered if you brains could help me out as my new G1 was suppose to be my new business phone as well as my personal one.
Thanks in advance guys!

Upgrading G1 from a 2 years ago

Hello all. I have been researching for about 3 days regarding the upgrade of the G1 to the new radio 2.22.28.25 and Spl:1.33.0013d so I can install [ROM][CyanogenMod 7.2.0][The Official "KANGED" CM7 for DS][11/24/2011] FINAL!. I have HSPL10.95.3000 and radio 2.22.19.26I and android 1.6 . I seem to have a problem with flashing via fastboot as it gives error " remote : partiotion does not exist " . Furthermore, I tried flashing the radio via recovery but it said that my SPL is not recognized so it is best that I flash it via fastboot . What should I do? I am afraid of bricking the device and I cannot flash any rom with the current settings ( I presume ). Any advice will be really helpful. Also, which one should I flish first , RADIO or HBOOT ? Also, IS Hboot same as HSPL? Thank you guys! Have a merry CHRISTmas.

Nobody out there willing to help?

can you provide more details? what command did you type when trying to flash via fastboot?
but if you are on 1.6 like you said than your not even rooted so you have a lot of work to do

I am rooted, did it many many years ago and at that time only 1.6 was available as a good option.
I used " fastboot flash radio ........img" and It did not work... Any idea ?

what recovery are you using (amon ra? clockwork?)
also make sure you dont try flashing the most current radio/slp over what you have know, im under the impression if you do you will have at least a soft brick
dig through the forums and you are bound to find your answers. if all else fails right back and im sure i or someone else will help with your next steps

I believe I am using Amon Ra's ( Ra-dream-v1.7.0) recovery. That is what I am trying to figure out is to write over me existing SPL and radio so I can start updating to different roms. This is my stumbling block right now. I've searched for over 3 days in a row, and I see different ways to do it but I need answers whether , like you said, it will soft brick or brick my phone...

My recomendation is to start from the link at the end of my post. I'm not new to the G1,I'm kinda old hat from the JF days in the begining,but I basicaly used that thread to refresh myself on the G1 again. My advice is to read through the entire thread from the link at the end of my post,even tho it might take a while. For the most part,flashing the radio and spl isn't recommended through recovery,its better to flash through fastboot,but,I was on vacation and got bored and didn't have my laptop with me so I took a chance and it was fine,but that's because I had a very good idea as to how the G1 is configured. I spent a lot of time here in the forums back in the day. Just keep in mind,if you don't flash the right radio/spl combination,at best it won't boot the rom,at worst{which is more likely} you will brick your G1. Just some things to think about. Wes Garner over on Android Spin(I think that's the site),has a good page still up from back in the day,its the perfect guide going from downgrading to 29 and up to 1.6,just jump in from where you already are. Might not hurt to start over with the downgrade so you can make sure you don't mess up your phone. Sorry I don't have the link to his page at the moment,but when I find it ill post it. Something else i highly recommend is installing Droid Explorer,mainly because it sets up Adb for you and its mostly idiot proof for installing and works on Windows 7. I dont recommend using the Interface tho,there are some advanced settings with it where if you dont know what your doing it can deff brick your phone. If your comfortable with it tho check out all the options it has. It can flash recoveries,take screen shots,has an explorer to edit or delete files,and has a package installer for apk's. It can be tricky sometimes with a G1 because it was created for Moto Phones,but when you connect any Android Phone it starts ADB and has reconized every Android phone Ive connected to my laptop,so its a prettty good tool to have.Also,keep in this in mind,ive been playing with the Gingerbread Roms based on CM7 for the last week or so,they are all pretty laggy because CM7 isnt designed or supported officially from Cyanogen for the G1. The most stable and dependable for everyday use is CM6. The Gingerbread roms for pretty much (imho) proof of concept that the G1 can run them,but arent really a route id go if you want to use your G1 as a good back up phone. Anyways sorry to ramble on,i hope this info helps you out or anyone else with questions.
