Rogers Phone Stuck as TMobile - Can't Flash

Hello All,
I've been looking through all the threads here and can't find an answer as to how to get my phone to work properly. I tried to do the one-click root for rogers as outlined in one of the threads here, but something went wrong. Couldnt get my phone past the rogers screen. I then loaded DREAIMG.nbh and was able to get my phone to a working state, however now its a TMobile phone and I don't know where to go from here.
The main issue is that i'm running HBOOT 0.95.0000 so there's no flashboot on the phone so I can't load anything and any update file I try fails. Specs as follows:
Model Number: T-Mobile G1
Firmware version: 1.0
Baseband Version: 62.33.20.08H_1.22.12.29
Kernel Version: 2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0 [email protected]#6
Build Number: kila-user 1.0 TC4-R29 115247 ota-rel-keys,release-keys
When I start up (CAMERA + POWER) I get the following settings (on red/green/blue/white screen *sigh*)

I called Rogers and they said that they would send me a replacement but that I may have to pay for a brand new phone which would be upwards of $600, definitely not worth it.
I don't know where to go from here, I just want my phone to work properly (right now the interface blows, even messaging it puts all my messages at the bottom and new messages at the top of the thread, which makes no sense). I don't care whether the phone ends up being a TMobile that works on Rogers (as long as I have 3G access as I'm paying for it, and right now I'm on Edge) and the functionality of the phone is good.
I'm unable to update the HBOOT version from 0.95.000 and this is what I really want to do - I figure that if I can get a newer version (even 0.95.000 that has the fastboot function) than I can update to 1.33 and update my firmware from there.
I've tried running the update on HTC/Rogers website but it does not recognize the USB device so the upgrade fails... I've installed the drivers for the phone but I think because the drivers are for 1.5/1.6 its not recognizing the phone.
Any help would be appreciated - thanks in advance

Root the phone.
Install HardSPL.
Run Rogers RUU.

What method should I use for rooting since I don't have the flashboot available?
And should I use Rogers Root method or regular G1 root method?

So I used the RC29 root and installed HardSPL, however the Rogers RUU will not run, I get an error message... as opposed to above, now I get this when I do CAMERA + POWER

Seeing as how the Rogers RUU won't work, is there another version that will work? or that will allow me to get the phone back to rogers standard?

Here is your solution
Bor, i had same problem and i ended up with MOSHI electronics in Pacific mall.................

Have you figured anything out because the same thing happened to me. I need to fix this any help would be awesome!

guys this same thing happend with me however i somehow solved the problem.
so heres what happend with me and what i did...
i rooted my g1(rogers) and then the phone was slow so...i found amon-ra as recovery i flashed it then installed dwang but my phone soemhow got bricked! in panic i used to GOOGLES method to unbrick my phone with Dreaming.nbh....
then when i started my phone g1 screen came up...and i wasnt able to connected to any network. so u have to put apn by urself.... so its name: Rogers apn: internet.com username: wapuser1 password: wap
u will now be able to at least come to home screen.
now what i did is i upgraded my build number. untill rc33 (but u may not need to)
after which i downloaded flashrec (if u used the method above as u mentioned u must have used it) if u have then what u do is back up and then download and flash the rom it shows. magically after doing this i rebooted my phone and ended up with the radio i was on and the rom i was on... everything came back to normal except i no longer get ROGERS SCREEN but t-mobile g1. HOWEVER I DONT KNOW FOR SURE THIS WILL WORK BUT FOR ME I WAS MAGIC and since it was fixed i didnt bother looking for the logic behind it lol.
then i just reflashed amon-ra (older version) latest one dun seem to work for me...then flashed dwang latest rom and since been runing fast fast fast....however once installed dwang i didnt have 3g coverage i had to redo the APN manually then it started working.
u can try all this but no gurantees it just worked for me.
u can try ROOTING it as if it was a T-mobile phone. methods are so much simpler....less time consuming and u can end up with a good rom. now i dont know how to go back to the original state. oh and ROGERS RUU dont work. so yea...

Rogers/G1 Dream Boot Loader issue
Hi,
I'm having a similar problem to this post. My phone is on Rogers, but I accidentally loaded the T-Mobile .nbh file. Now my phone is stuck on the boot loader, Red/Green/Blue screen, telling me the following information:

I've looked all over the place and haven't found the exact same problem as this. Normally people are saying 'reroot' the phone, but I can't get out of the boot loader to the console, even with the battery 100%++ charged. When I try to load different .nbh files' it either comes back with 'Not Allow', or says the file is corrupt.
I've tried different .IMG files but when the phone boots, it says .IMG file not found.
I think the main problem is not being able to get out of the boot-loader and into the console.
If anybody could assist, that would be great.
Thanks,
RDHG

Dude, you DO NOT WANT the robbers standard. It is crippled and WAY too far out of date.
It's better the way it is, but your radio is hopelessly out of date.
I suggest you go to developer.htc.com/adp.html, grab the latest radio and img-14721.zip from there and follow their FASTBOOT instructions to install them.
You may (or may not) also like/need a proper recovery to work the radio image. Cyanogen recovery 1.4 is nice -- there are others around that are newer, but I'm not familiar with them. Search for it and install via fastboot (which is a function of that hardspl you installed).

You don't want a console. You want to boot into android normally and run the "1-click-root" application.

can you get into any type of recovery mode? powering on with home + power

rogers htc dream problem

i have a problem with my htc dream , my friend put on nandroid 2.2 and made a backup of the original rogers 1.5 , the build says "build: cyanogen v1.4 + JF" its a 32a not 32b
it wont boot to any roms i tried, and while a non working rom was on the phone, i accidentally chose to make a recovery image, probably overwriting the original one.. i just want the stock back, after i get im not screwing around with this damn phone....

what process did you go through to flash the recovery image.

thru the phone i believe, he put in his sim cuz he had a data plan , he put some website and downloaded some file and it showed "32a" and something about a recovery image ( this was when the phone was working) then he got nandroid 2.2 up and i believe he did the nandroid backup (alt b), then we tried a few roms and none worked , then i went home and he told me to keep looking for roms, then being the idiot with the iq of a rock, i accidentally pressed the nandroid backup while a non working rom was on the phone... and now im looking at the android system recovery screen ( letters r green) and the phone is hooked up via usb to my comp and the micro sd is currently in a card reader.. ( my comp recognizes the phone btw)

yea so pretty much im stuck and i dont know what to do

another update i went thee camera+ power button and it shows the followiing

I'm trying to load cyanogen's radio/guide for Rogers dreams, but I need to update my radio, how do I do this without fastboot, or how can i update my hboot so I can use fastboot?
thanks in advance

bumping...

Why is it that most people want to always go to cyanogen?
take the radio zip file put it on your phone and apply it as an update through recovery mode.
but you should try some more indie ROM's. I think Cyanogen's getting to big and popular but that's just my opinion =/
sorry for jabbering on lol

yeah i understand what you're saying. but i'm gonna stick with cyanogen since it possesses the functions that i need. anyways, i tried to flash using the recovery mode, now phone won't boot in Camera+Power or Home+Power.

alright so now, I have to ask, is there a way to unbrick my phone? doesnt boot into recovery or hboot mode.

Did you seriously ask him his phone model when you are in the G1 Q&A AND it says it in the title? And clockwork is better IMHO. More seamless installations.

Catch me on my irc channel, link in sig.
And yes I did ask him even when it said it right there in front of me, it's called skimming the post and the fact mt3g users use this forum also.

ok, so I'm trying to go back and unroot, because of multiple tries with help of shadowch31 to load good recovery no go. followed this guide: http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/23/how-to-unroot-the-htc-g1-dream/
did the spl and that went through but when i try and do the DREAIMG.nbh it goes to the tri color and jumps to the white loading screen for a second and then over to the tri color screen, I think it's not recognizing the file. PLEASE HELP

[Q] No recov, No fastboot, but I have OS

I have a Rogers Dream/G1 with T-Mobile rc29 rom (doh!), which works and is usable but I want to get back to CM5. Please show me the way or put me out of my misery if its hopeless.
Recovery hangs at Tmobile G1 screen.
Fastboot gives me "00028002 Not Allow" code then is stuck with serial0.

Tried Adb to get amon-ra 1.7.0, but still won't boot into recovery and is stuck at G1 screen. No memory error, just an immediate echo of the "flash_image recovery data/local/recovery.img" command after I hit enter.
fastboot won't show my device in cmd when at the 4colored screen but adb does recognize.
I'm pretty sure I mixed up the radio and spl, but does having access to the OS give me any options?
Please, point me in the right direction.
****SOLVED**** see Post#20 for my conclusion.

Download clockwork recovery, flash clockwork, then you'll have recovery?
Not sure tho, I think this was how I did it.

I think what you're talking about is ROM Manager, it includes Clockwork Recovery if I understand the dev's description correctly. I haven't tried it myself though.

Seems to me, that he is on a stock ROM and doesn't have root access.
If the phone is booting, a chance could be, to install 1-click-root (don't know how it is called exactly, but you can google for it) and then from there to install a custom recovery. After that, you can install CM5 or something else. Probably first I would install is an engineering SPL (1.33.2003 for example) which supports fastboot. With your current SPL you will not have a chance to get fastboot running.
But be careful: 1.33.2003 supports only radio version 1.x and 2.x. I am not sure if 1.33.2003 is the best solution for you, because you have a rogers dream.

i recomend the old way.. get the fflashrecapk. and use io file manager to flash it.. only problem is you need to be 1.5 if your on 1.6 than you need to downgrade.. but that would be difficult since you have no recovery lol

While a bit more work.. before all the how to's confuse you into bricking your phone, I'd make yourself a gold card, and use it to flash the orange nbh from the 2708+ thread.. (rename to DREAIMG.nbh and place on the goldcard, then boot with camera+power it will ask you to flash it)
Once you have the orange rom you will have fastboot and a 2.x radio.. if you don't need the 3.22 radio .. just flash the 2708+ radio+spl+hboot as per normal followed by a rom.. if you do need the 3.22 radio (rogers customer who has not signed the wavier and wishes to keep data) either flash the rogers e911 update and re-root or 1.33.2005+3.22.26.17 and a rom
Sorry lack of links.

is it rooted?
maybe you can flash the recovery through terminal

Thanks for the replies, lots to research.
I'v tried a bunch of rooting methods.
exploid pushed from ADB said it worked (but didnt)
SuperOneClick said it worked after some rapid OFF-ON-OFF-ON debugging(but didnt install superuser even after reboot)
Universal androot forcecloses on launch
flashrec has the "download cyan...." button blocked out, tried renaming amon-ra to the recovery-backup.img and it said successful, but still is stuck at g1 screen.
I found another post with someone in the same situation at:

ok ummm wow you did a lot lol are you sure you did the flaskrec.apk thing right? so as of right now your phone is not rooted? and you are on 1.0? if thats the case you should get automatic updates and hopefully that could help you.. if not try downloading rom manager than flash the clockwork recovery.. personally i hate clockwork but if you can get that to work than i could help you get back to RA if you would like..

Well its a one-click solution, I must have missed the options... I installed it and ran the back up, but the "download" button was grayed out. was I supposed to do something with the entry field?
Rom Manager gives me "Application install unsuccessful" using AndExplorer and I think Clockwork gave me this problem in the first place back when I was using CM6.

I think Ezterry's post (#6) is your best option
you don't mention you have tried that
you will need to do some research into goldcards and finding the orange.nbh link
hint for the orange see threads started by ezterry (via his profile) look at the kernel for 2708 thread

Ok thanks, I'v got my gold card made but is safe to flash 1.33.200* SPL with 1.22.12.29 Radio? Isnt it a DangerSPL? Sorry if thats way off base.

for the record
1.33.2003 is compatible with 1.x and 2.x radios but will brick with 3.x
1.33.2005 is compatible with 2.x and 3.x radios but will brick with 1.x
so 1.33.200* is only compatible with 2.x
read Ezterry's 2708 post, the answers you seek are in it

sorry for delay lol but with the flashrec file wat you do is press backup than when your typing in the box you have to put exactly what your file says...
ex.. sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.0.7-cyan.img (yours could be diff but make sure you type exactly what your file says that you placed on sd card) hope it helps

You guys are awesome, thank you everyone who was interested and especially ezterry, Effdee and Idrifta for the enduring help. I'm now on CM5.0.8 2708+ and loving it.
Final issue, I'm wondering about going to EBI1 to get 3.22 radio. Is it as simple as updating hboot to 1.33.2010 then flashing 3.22? Is it worth doing?
Again, sorry if that is way off base but this is the first week my phone has been usable in months, and I won't jeopardize it again.

Why ebi1 is equivalent to the old ebi0 and you loose the extra ram.
Thus unless there is a very specific reason it's a downgrade

Best stay as is or upgrade the radio to 2.22.28.25.. As it has been distributed world wide. (Including to all locations 2.22.27.08 was previously distributed)

what did you do?
I would like to know if you solved this issue as mine is similar. I DO have root though, but i have no recov/fastboot. I am using a dev phone though.
ps, grats on getting it working

If you flashed 0.95.0000 you are no longer using a dev phone (what do you see when you boot holding camera?)
The good news is that the ADP1 used the universal CID (11111111) and is thus not restricted to a particular carriers nbh file.. so you can probably just flash the orange nbh without the goldcard [just renamed DREAIMG.nbh on the root of your SDCard], then follow the 2708+ radio instructions.. or install 1.33.2003/5 via fastboot if you need the old radio.
The reason I'm pointing to the orange nbh is it will let you bypass the whole "I bricked my phone because I insisted on flashing death SPL via recovery" since you have an engineering SPL and 2.x radio after flashing that orange NBH from the 2708+ thread.

This is what worked for me, going from:
- a non responsive recovery
- OS locked at activation, so no usb debugging
- OS refused to root
- quadicolored fastboot screen that wouldnt recognize usb
To CM5 2708+ with RA-cyan1.7.
Before this thread I had to use this to get post the verizon data plan only activation to enable usb debugging.
Made a goldcard
Put the orange nbh renamed to DREAIMG.nbh (can't remember where i got it from, just searched) on the goldcard, Booted with camera+power to get fastboot, and applied the update.
Followed ezterry's post and at step 5 flipped over to this post on CM5 2708+
Now I'm gonna update the radio using exterry's advanced zips. Thanks again everyone, another successful thread.
