Hello guys, this is my situation.
I had a G1 whit android 1.1, these are the steps I did:
1) I install the new radio (latest version) (before, assured me that the phone in the booted mode say PVT)
2) I install the SPL haykuro's 1.33.2005
3) The phone is stuck on the T-Mobile G1 Screen, I remove the batery, put on again and update the CyanogenMod 3.6 rom.
4) The phone is stuck on the tmobile g1 screen again! ... I removed the battery, turn on the phone and stay stuck again.
5) I can enter in the booted mode and recovery mode but I do not know what to do.
which is what I do now?
Thanks for responding
pd:Sorry for the spelling, I do not speak English.
did u wipe before installing the rom?

you are talking about a Hard Reset (alt+w) ? yes, I do it before and after, but the situation remains the same.
use power + camera and reflash dreaimg. your phone is only soft bricked so you can fix this. then after you reflash dreaimg regain root access and follow the flash procedures to image your phone to a non standard build.
Flash to JF ADP1.5 first, See if that works. Is your card partitioned?
why make him flash to a jf build first it's an unneeded step the reason i tell him to reflash rc29 or rc7 is cause it's easier to follow him right from the beginning to make sure he helped to the fullest extent once he regains root access as long as he flashes the 1st radio 2nd spl 3rd non standard build of his choice he's fine flashing a jf build does nothing except add a step that is not needed and makes it more confusing
I reflash to rc7 and can enter in the SO.
Well, I try again to update a rom, but first I make a backup.
Thanks guys !
well, the same problem again.
I install this time:
1) Rc29
2) recovery image + spl
3) JF 1.5 ADP
and the phone stuck in the G1 screen again.
I do not know what I'm doing wrong.
Just a wild stab, did you confirm that the SPL flashed correctly? You would know by booting into it (CAMERA+POWER).
If not, I would flash the radio again (just as a precaution plus its fast), flash the SPL then confirm it has been flashed successfully.
Then grab the JF 1.51 ROM, wipe then flash that.
Is it even possible to jump from RC29 right to 1.5? I would try to go JF 43 than to 1.5
I don't see why not as long as he has updated his radio before flashing JF 1.51. Far as I'm aware JF 1.51 doesn't require additional internal space (that Haykuro's SPL provides). The key is in the Radio before the big jump up in revision number.
If I'm wrong though, feel free to correct me, Its been a very long time since I started out rooting my G1
For history's sake I went from Stock RC8 > Modified RC7 (to root) > Modified RC8 > JF 1.3 > JF 1.51 > Dude 0.8 - 1.3RC2 > Cyanogen 3.5 - 3.5.4.1
ok try this reflash rc7 get root access install the recovery.img flash hard spl
let us know when you get to that point then we'll run some tests
Well, I could solve the problem. Thanks guys !!
I repeat the installation (downgrade, recovery, hardSPL, radio) but this time I install the Dude cupcake 1.2b full, and this time everything went well !
I guess that would make a mistake at any step of the installations. Surely.
But, I have a new problem. When I download any app from de Android Market, an error arises ... "insufficient storage available". (yes, I have space in the phone memory).
which is what I do?
hello, I made the following steps: (I try to flash Jachero 2.3.5)
1) Install RC29
2) Install recovery image 1.3.1
3) Flash latest radio: ota-radio 2.22.19.2.6I
4) Flash latest spl: 1.33.2005
... and when I try to reboot, the phone stay stuck in the G1 screen.
What I'm doing wrong ?
Do you have root? If you do which im hoping is true try reformating your sd card cuz sometimes whenyou flash different roms some of the old stuff stays even after reflashing
hope that helps
you might have a brick, after flashing the SPL you are supposed to have another sd card with another ROM(or the same ROM) on it to reflash, if not you can get a brick
Sounds like you just need to reload your rom on. Once you flash the spl you need to reflash your rom otherwise you will be stuck at the g1 screen due to the fact you don't have a rom loaded on your phone because the spl update overwrites your rom.
It's Normal, i went through the same thing. After installing the SPL you have to re flash your ROM. im no expert but what i did was:
Note: i added the cyanogen recovery image 1.3.1 and also i have ROOT,
I had Cyanogen 3.6 rom so i flashed the radio then spl. and got the g1 screen.
then i flashed 3.6 rom on again. (turn on phone with power+home, alt+w to wipe, alt+s to install)
After it loaded the cyanogen 3.6 so i checked the settings to make sure i had the right spl and radio. and then i just flashed the JACHero rom. just like i did with the Cyanogen rom.
Probably dont have to reflash the cyanogen rom i was just being careful.
Just mount your sdcard in recovery. Boot into recovery and press alt+x. Now type:
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
Remove the update.zip,and place your ROM of choice on the sdcard. Rename it to update.zip. In recovery console type "reboot recovery". Now wipe and flash away =]
k i had to unroot my fone cuz my apns was acting up. so my question is.
right after i update the spl, while in still in recovery
flash the rom that i have on my g1.
then reboot right.
it should have the arrow pointing down right. then followed by the g1 then loading screen.
Whenever updating to the latest SPL do these things first...
- Upgrade your radio to the latest version and confirm that it has been flashed
- Flash the SPL and give it time. Do not pull the battery if there are icons still on the screen. If you do you run the risk of bricking your G1
- Once flashed, check to see if the SPL has been flashed (reboot, CAMERA+POWER)
- If all clear then flash your desired ROM

I think the SPL restarts your phone during the installation. I don't think you get the choice of whether you want to install the ROM at the same time *I think* (I haven't installed the SPL in a while). I don't think its required at any rate. Just reboot the phone into recovery once you're certain that the SPL flashed correctly.
Just make sure you get the radio first, haha. You shouldn't need to unroot because your APN's aren't working, just wipe and reflash...that normally fixes a lot of problems.

both of the times ive rooted and installed that spl i would flash it and it would go to g1 screen twice, after a couple of minutes the second time i just pull battery, put in card reader (or have an extra card handy with a build) and copy a build onto it, then boot into recovery and flash it. its worked twice this way for me...
i have recovery 1.3.1 and if you flash the spl it wont reboot. so should i push the old recovery, then install the spl. then let it reboot, then flash my rom.

well when you install the spl, it will hang on the g1 screen, it needs a build. so oyu have to pull the battery and put a build/rom on the card, then boot into recovery and wipe and flash. At least these are the instructions i followed and it worked both times i did it...dont know if that answers your question. When i did it i think i flashed 1.3.1 after the spl but i dont think it should make a difference...have you read any of the various tutorials? some of them are not good so be careful

Once the SPL is flashed on, you have to physically hit home+back or whatever it is to reset the phone, DON'T SELECT WITH TRACKBALL, or else it won't write anything. Once you do that, it should say writing hbootimg or something then restart. It will appear with an icon on the screen for a few, and I can't stress this part enough, DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY, or you have a paperweight. Once its done doing its thing, it will reboot into recovery on its own.

fyi...
this is the thread ive followed twice and have successfully flashed the so called 'dangerous' spl twice. Unless I read it wrong it says 'pull the battery' after flashing the spl. Either way it worked

Danger SPL has been out longer then 1.0 if I remember correctly.
Hiya ppl,
I recentlly rooted my phone and wanted to use teh JACxHERO ROM om my phone so I download the radio 2.22...... and the SPL.
According to the guides you need to do Radio first (update.zip) then SPL (spl_signed.zip). Then do a wipe and load your ROM.
The radio updated fine but when I do the SPL upgrade it is stuck at the G1 T-Mobile screen, or return to the recovery screen.
No matter I tried wiping and updating ROM again with JACxHERO again. Still same issue.
Put back my nandroid backup and other ROM is back. I also noticed that after the wipe all my data is still there nothing changed.
My question:
The radio is up to date. Should I:
wipe
SPL
wipe
ROM
wipe
????????
Thanks in advance
What recovery image are you using, Cyanogens? Is the SPL actually the new one? Hold camera and power when the phone is off and you should come to a white screen with skateboarding androids (if nyou come to a rainbow coloured screen, it didn't work)

Boot into the SPL and make sure it updated (Power + Camera button)
The SPL should be 1.33.2005
If not the SPL did not update correctly (If your using Cyan's recovery, do the SPL upgrade, but reboot pressing Home + Power instead of using the trackball)
If it is 1.33.2005, then try flashing another Hero ROM and seeing if it works
Also, make sure your SD card is clean (wipe your ext partition, you do have one right? )
one of the guides on here says that after you've flashed the new spl, you will get stuck on the g1 loading screen and you need to reflash with the rom you were originally running, let it reboot back into that rom, then try and flash jachero
eg
if you were originally running a cyanogen rom
flash radio
flash spl (then reboot and you will be stuck at the g1 screen)
reflash cyanogen (let it reboot completely)
then flash the jachero rom
that's what i did and it worked for me
I have the Cyanogen recovery 1.4 i Believe (latest and greatest)
OK really wierd indeed i see the android staking funny

I enabled fastboot now as well.
Jet when I flas the JACxHERO ROM it is loopt at G1 screen or turn back to recovery.
**Just download all zip's will do it now.
Make sure you have the correct partitions.
So no ROMs will flash?!
I know I have the correct partitions:
ext3 500MB
FAT32 1400 MB
linux-swap 32MB
I can flash others but I want HERO
Its Flashing right now brb with answer
LOL it hangs at the HERO logo

Ok nice it worked thanks for clarying for me.
Only one thing, it is running slow. is it because of build ? or because my mem setting are incorrect ?

Welcome to Hero builds... they're all going to be slow compared to the Cupcake-based builds, though a lot of tweaking can help somewhat.
Also you have a class 4, a class 6 will help some more.
ok thnQ for the tip
And also my bat was running empty, charged my bat and worked a lot faster.
Hi,
I tried flashing the brand new CyanogenMod 5 with Eclair for G1, and I seem to be in "serious" trouble now.
Before flashing:
I had already installed DangerSPL for a few months with no issue
Had the latest radio
Was happily running SuperD1.9.3 with WG Kernel and JIT enabled
Made a Nandroid backup just in case I wished to go back
Wiped Dalvik-cache and Data/Cache to avoid boot loops
All of this with Cyan's Recovery 1.4.
After flashing the ROM and the Gapps, my phone restarted and got stuck on the G1 screen (no boot screen) for, maybe 15 to 30 minutes, which seemed a bit long for me... I finally decided to remove the battery, went back to recovery and made a Nand restore.
But after the restore, rebooting had the same effect : stuck on G1 screen.
I tried flashing several custom roms with no luck (all stuck on G1 screen).
I finally decided to flash the official ADP1.6 ROM from HTC (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip) which installed fine (and updated the radio by the way), and it finally booted on stock Donut.
I tried then to reinstall custom roms but get stuck on G1 screen everytime I try... and flashing Amon_RA's recovery won't work (i keep booting on the stock recovery). But as a workaround, I can use fastboot to boot into Amon_Ra's recovery.
The questions now are :
did I lose root access, thus preventing from installing custom ROMs ?
if so, is it possible to downgrade while being under DangerSPL ? Won't it brick the phone ?
Is there anybody else who had the same problem with upgrading to Cyan's 5 ?
I really need to get custom roms back, stock sucks on G1... but there is no way i can afford bricking my phone.
Thanks for help guys!!
As long you can get to your custom recovery menu, you still have root access.
Keep the Danger SPL, not worth changing it and the Danger SPL has fastboot also.
It takes a while to boot into a newly flashed ROM so just wait 5-15 min.
Do these steps:
1)Do a FULL WIPE of the phone (data, dalvik-cache, ext, battery stats, and rotation ****You won't have some of these options with Cyanogen's recovery. Just wipe what you can****)
2)Repair the ext partition
3)Flash CyanogenMod 5.0.7-DS-Test 1 (this is the g1/mt3g version)
4)Without wiping or rebooting, flash the gapps .zip file
5)Reboot and set up the ROM
6)Flash the latest Amon_RA recovery for your device. Cyanogen uses Amon-RA's recovery now.
1. Upgrade your recovery....cyanogen stopped working on his a while ago, upgrade to Amon_RA's recovery.
2. You only have to wipe data/dalvik, and maybe sd-ext. you do NOT have to wipe battery stats or rotation EVER.
3. Flash CM Rom
4. Flash gapps
Unfortunately, exact same thing.
Stuck on G1 screen.
Reverted back again to adp 1.6
Any other suggestions ?

Try upgrading your radio? You shouldn't HAVE to, but it might work.
Are you on Amon_RA's recovery now?
I'll try upgrading radio, but it's weird I can't switch back to other custom donut builds...
I've used Amon-RA's recovery to wipe and install the ROM this time.
For some odd reason though, it seems i can't "install" Amon_RA recovery (it seems to switch back to stock recovery), but just boot it through fastboot...

make sure you're flashing the right recovery. dream still has two options. just like mytouch has H or G.
the one with "R" on the end of it is for rogers, one without it is for USA ones.
What files are you flashing? It sounds like you're flashing an old 1.6 base that has a recovery image included. Are you flashing the DRC83 Defanged as a base?
OK so I tried to take a fresh start on this.
I installed Amon_RA's 1.6.2 as recovery (not the Roger's one, I'm in France and the US tools always worked)
did a nandroid backup to stop reinstalling everything over again each time I want to make a phone call...
used it to repartition the SD (FAT / EXT2 / SWAP), thus formatting everything
wiped everything (except battery and orientation)
Flashed DRC83 Defranged
Without rebooting flashed CM5.0.7-t1
Without rebooting flashed Gapps
And it still gets stuck on the first boot screen (left it for about 20mn on it)...
Then I tried installing DRC83 defranged and it still gets stuck on the damned boot screen !!!
Through adb I can get to shell while on recovery, but the su command prints out :
/sbin/sh: su: not found
Is it normal ?
I can't find the /proc/last_kmsg file (just /proc/kmsg). Is there any log file that could help here ?
I'm going to nand back to stock 1.6, hoping it will start without having to flash the radio+recovery one again...
I noticed something weird when i nand back to my pre-CM5 WG-SuperD backup :
when it boots, it gets to the first boot screen and if USB is connected, i get a "fastboot usb" in a red box on top left of the screen.
To sum up :
phone's definitely not bricked, but won't run any custom rom anymore, but it still permits custom recovery installation/boot.
Something must have been broken/deleted somewhere.
Still asking the (dumb?) question : do I still have root, since su doesn't works (even using terminal server) ?
By the way, I really appreciate you guys taking time to read and answer my posts. Really

I run into the same issue, I was upgrading from the latest cm 1.6 and after trying a few different things, after wiping with alt+w, I reinstalled danger-spl then installed the cm update, then the google apps; after doing this, it worked fine. BTW, it took about 15 mins to boot up though.

There is your problem. DO NOT FLASH THE DRC83 BASE!!!
Just repartition your sdcard (if you want to), upgrade to ext3 or ext4, then follow the last 2 steps.
Hi UberMario,
I just reinstalled DangerSPL using Amon_ra's recovery, and then directly flashed CM5 + Gapps (no reboot inbetween).
It's been stuck on the 1st splash screen for 30 minutes now...
I'm letting it for another 30mn (although I think it's useless) and will eventually revert back to stock 1.6... again...
I just don't get what's wrong...
I'm going to try redownloading the archives in case they would've been corrupted, but being unable to install anything else than an official htc firmware seems like a symptom to me... isn't it ?

I'm not sure if this will make a difference, but flash Gapps first then flash CM5 then reboot and everything should work...
or
You might want to check and make sure your MD5 is correct too..
why would you flash gapps first? you have to flash it on top of cm5.
Yeah... quite sure this won't help.
What could prevent the phone from booting custom firmwares but still allowing to install them ? (and finally I can still run the su command through adb, and get root access, but apps can't get root...)

I rooted my G1 for the first time. I flashed CM 5.0.7 then GApps (no reboot in between). When the phone booted, none of the Google Apps were on the phone. Went back to recovery and did a wipe and flashed GApps then CM (no reboot) and everything installed correctly. Someone said to flash CM first then GApps, but that didn't work for me. Weird.
