You can flash ANYTHING YOU WANT over ANYTHING YOU HAVE, just be sure to ONLY USE FASTBOOT. Recovery flashing can BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!

Lol, don't screem at him, but it definately is a helluvalot safer to use fastboot.

First: Search, if you cannot find after at least 5 minutes of search, then you're allowed to start a new thread.
Its annoying to answer questions that people have answered hundreds of times on these forums.
Anyways, to check, turn off your phone, then hold down the camera button as you press the power button, a tri-color screen will popup and on the top it will tell you which SPL you have. If you have the: HBOOT 1.33.2005 SPL then that's the new one.

changed what?
And you need to read the guide to updating to the new SPL... there are dangers to it that you need to be aware of.
Req's:
The newest radio, make sure everything is the same, I've seen a similar version with one letter different that could brick your phone if you use it.
A PVT board which you said you have.
Also after flashing the new spl your phone will not boot so you will need to take your card out and put it in a card reader and load your rom up that way and flash again. The new spl overwrites your existing rom.

Thanks for the link i tried searching but couldnt find it.
That covers the "safe" SPLs, though in theory a bad flash with any bootloader can brick a phone. If you're interested in the "Danger" SPL, which is also known as the Haykuro SPL or the "newest" SPL, check the link in my sig. This SPL really isn't a problem to flash if you have a PVT board and if you make sure to flash to the latest radio first. It also frees up more room on your device, because it takes up less space and repartitions your device accordingly.

i think i bricked my g1.help needed

i have a t mobile g1 bought it yesterday from a friend,i downgraded it to rc 29 and flashed it with hardspl and recovey "recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img" then i flashed rc 33 and tried to flash another spl called danger spl i think. now i cant get in recovery and icant see the bootloader screen ?
Why do you think it's called danger spl? Wouldn't it have been a good idea to read everything you could possibly find about something titled "danger" before flashing it? Lesson learnt I hope.

[Q] problem flashing radio and non-matching SPL using "safe" method

Hi,
I've just downgraded my G1 to RC7 and rooted it. Then I flashed Amon_Ra's recovery 1.7.0. My bootloader was 0.95.0000 so I flashed the mathing engineering SPL 0.95.3000 (as suggested here wiki.xda-developers.com/phpwiki213/index.php?pagename=HTC_Dream_Bootloader )
But the wiki also says 'Be aware that the partial-engineering SPL 0.95.3000 (and the hacked version 10.95.3000) do NOT have the ability to fastboot flash a radio or spl image. It is necessary to install ?SafeSPL 1.33.2003 first.'
So what is SafeSPL and how is it safe to flash it? 0.95.3000 and 1.33.2003 don't match in any way, do they?
EDIT:
found the answer in the wiki article
1.33.2003 aka ?SafeSPL -- a full engineering SPL, origin unknown. This SPL is entirely compatible with DREAM ORIGINAL SPLs, 0.95.0000 and 0.95.3000.

so 0.95.0000 und 0.95.3000 are kind of "matching" with 1.33.2003, so I'll switch from 0.95.3000 to 1.33.2003 (which seems to be "SAFE", and can't cause a brick) and then flash new radio and dangerSPL with fastboot as soon as I get home. I hope that'll work this way...
are there any "safe" sources, maybe with md5sum for 1.33.2003? There is no link given in the wiki article
EDIT2:
just found the answer in someones signature
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6510019#post6510019
but it is safe to upgrade from 0.95.3000 with radio 1.x to 1.33.2003 ? Because I still have a stock radio 1.x and wanted to flash 1.33.2003 SPL and then flash 2.x radio via fastboot. Don't want to brick it
EDIT:
maybe we should also add a table/matrix to the wiki, that clearly says what combination of SPL/radio will cause a brick on flash with recovery

This information is spelled out VERY CLEARLY in the wiki. I really suggest that you READ it....
* 1.33.2003 -- a full engineering SPL, origin unknown. This SPL is entirely compatible with DREAM ORIGINAL SPLs, 0.95.0000 and 0.95.3000.
RADIO COMPATIBILITY: 0.95.x000 and 1.33.2003: Compatible with 1.x and 2.x radios ONLY. 1.33.2005: Compatible with 2.x and 3.x radios ONLY.

Problem with G1 rooted

Hi everybody
I rooted a G1, I downgrade it with 29RC, then I made the installation of the recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0 following the flashed the radio (G1-radio-2_22_23_02 and the spl (Latest G1 SPL). I used the 1.6 DRD 3611745 test-keys rooted firmware.
Everything is working well, but when I try to install a firmware as update-cm-6.0.0-DS-RC3-signed, Chromatic 4.4 or extreme-froyo an error showed:
Code:
getprop("ro.bootloader")=="1.33.2011" II ( this message is repeated on the G1)
E:Error in /sdcard/update-cm-6.0.0-DS-RC3-signed (Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Also I tried to update it with update-cm-5.0.7-DS-test3-signed and it was accepted but it does not boot, it stay with the G1 logo.
What could be wrong?, I restore with my rooted backup (1.6) and it work again without problems.
Your comments with be appreciated.

Since no one else has answered I'll give it a try. The 1.33.2011 bootloader line sounds fishy on a G1. What does the actual bootloader screen say? (Camera+Power startup)

Thank you oldnoob for the response. Well it looks like this:
Code:
DREA100 PVT 32B
CLPD-4
RADIO-2.22.23.02
Oct 20 2008
Ok what he is mainly asking you is in bootloader you see the spl. That's what he's saying looks fishy. The rest of what you got looks ok. So tell him what spl your reading in bootloader. And what your bootloader looks like.

Thank you, the spl read as follow:
HSPL10.95.3000
Ok well you know you flashed the radio if it says 2.22.23.02. You have the pvt goin on. So now for the scary part. 1.33.2005 danger spl. As long as you have that radio your good. But make sure ya hear me!!!! When you flash rc29 it will downgrade that radio. So you have to reflash it. BEFORE danger spl 1.33.2005
Good luck may the force be with you!!!

So just make sure you go into bootloader holding camera+power button together. Make sure you have radio 2.22.23.02 then you may flash the 1.33.2005 danger spl. Then when you go back into bootloader you'll see the new spl. And the bootloader will have three android skateboarders on it. Then you know your good. And then boot recovery. Wipe. Flash the rom .zip from sdcard. See the problem your having is the spl you have right now. Can't handle the size of the rom your trying to flash.

Thank you very much, that was the problem as I see I used a wrong spl. But when I hold the camera+power button together I have the three android skateboard on it. Right now I have the G1 with the 1.6 version rooted. In order to make it works for future firmware versions I will need to unroot the G1 with downgrade it again to the RC29, then downgrade the original radio and spl and start from scratch. Or only reflash the new radio and reflash spl but using the danger version.
PD
This G1 is not my is from a friend, but compared with my G1 and it has the danger spl, I will need to reflash the danger spl to my friends' G1.

Why you guys want to install always DangerSPL? It's never needed, there are much more flexible and more secure ways to get enough space for FroYo-ROMs.
Only my 2 cent.
Andisa has a point. Not super needed anymore. But its just what I run. And once you got it the first time. No headache or chances after that. But no when you change roms you do not need to go and do that all over again to answer your question. So now if you have the proper radio and spl. You installed a custom recovery. Now go ahead put zip file on sd wipe and flash. You should be good to go.

In my own G1, I have the danger spl installed too and never have had any problems with it, in this case, when I was flashing this G1 I knew that I was using the last radio but when I was ready to flash the spl I saw that I had two versions, the Latest G1 SPL, and haykuro_new_spl-signed.
I had selected the Lastest G1, After that I flashed with the last roms mentioned above and here I am trying to fix this. All the ways, the 1.6 is running smooth. Thank you for all and I am very happy to all your help.

No problem. I'm glad we got it working for ya
