Possible brick? Still have recovery and fastboot though.

Hey, y'all. Quick question, with all the details I can remember. It started when I was trying to run fastboot and adb together so I could flash a new boot splash image. I was able to run each individually, but not together. So I updated all my windows USB drivers with the latest ones for the build...still wouldn't work. Then I booted into fastboot and realized that the SPL version was the HSPL10.95.3000. So I decided to go and follow the instructions for updating to the Haykuro SPL. I flashed the radio to the new version FIRST, and THEN flashed the SPL. Now I can boot into the recovery mode, or into the fastboot mode, but my G1 is stuck at the G1 splashscreen and won't progress further into the actual operating system.
Other details:
PVT 32B
ROM: Cyan 4.2.7.1
Previous SPL: HSPL10.95.3000
New SPL: HBOOT1.33.2005
Radio: 2.22.19.26I
If any other details are necessary, don't hesitate to ask, I'll get back to you ASAP (I really need my phone working!)

Flashing the spl clears the startup files per-se.
Just flash a rom, case closed.

I tried that, reflashing the Cyan 4.2.7.1 ROM, same result. It's still producing the "G1" loop.

You lost root then, start over with the nbh file.

That's the conclusion I just came to, myself. Just reflashed with the RC29 NBH. What things do I need to redo now? Just follow the original rooting process?

Issue installing spl and latest radio

Hi Everyone,
I am been visiting xda since I got my g1/adp1 over a year ago. I have been using it and it has been doing very well for me. Back in January I had flashed a rom and I had ended up with the hardspl. Since then for some odd reason, I was never able to flash the dangerspl or engineering spl. So from what I looked over on the forum, I used the dream.nbh file and went back to the original release and then flashed the cupcake update as advised in one of the posts here. After doing that, I was able to log in and install FlashRec and install the Amon Ra 1.6.2 recovery.
However, after doing that, I tried to flash the updated Radio and the hard spl, and I have been unsuccessful. Prior to installing the radio, I do the wipe/factory reset and then flash the ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip. After it complete it and pressing back + home, it even says writing radio image. However, when I boot into android or fastboot, it still shows that radio is 1.22.12.29. And the spl is the original 0.95.0000. I have also followed the procedure in the above link to install the radio then hard spl and then the cyanogen Cyanogen4.2.12.2 installation. I was able to boot into the rom; however the radio is still 1.22.12.29 and the spl is 0.95.0000.
With regards to info on the phone, it is DREA100 PVT 32B. So I would really appreciate anyone’s advice on how I can restore it to the engineering SPL or install the hard spl and then switch to the danger spl; and also update the radio. Thank you

When installing a radio or SPL, you need to follow its instructions.
That means that when you start in recovery mode and flash the "update.zip" matching your radio, its first step is to write it (to the cache partition), then reboot into update-radio mode, then write it AGAIN (to the radio partition), then reboot into recovery and format the cache partition.
You need to follow it the WHOLE WAY THROUGH -- not stop at the first stage and call it good.

Hi,
As mentioned before, I did follow the guide to the T on re-rooting and reflashing. I followed both ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606147 and also ttp://theunlockr.com/2010/04/26/how-to-root-the-htc-g1dream/ + ttp://theunlockr.com/2010/04/26/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-g1-dream/ . However, neither of these procedures resulted in the installation of the hard spl or the updated radio ota-radio-2_22_19_26I. The adp1 continues to be to have the Original G1 Spl 0.95.0000 and radio 1.22.12.29 from the flashing of the Dream nbh file.
So could anyone please advise on what else I can do to flash and update the spl and the radio. Thank you ^^.

you can try to flash the radio through adb/fastboot its better and safer to do..

oh? can you please tell me the adb commands to use to flash the new radio? I have look at the ADB guide for dummies and ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719 & ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517874 . I can't seem to figure out how to install radio via adb. When I had the hardspl, I could install radio, system, boot, etc via fastboot. But adb is unfamiliar to me as I have never been successful with it. So can you please guide me with the commands to follow ^^. Thank you in advance.

Thats what i meant was fastboot that was my noobieness to say adb.. flash radio thru fastboot...

Yes, fastboot is where I am trying to get too. However, the original G1 spl is not letting me access fastboot. If have files on the sdcard, in fastboot it shows serial0. But when I wipe it, it shows nothing under the original g1 fastboot mode.
So can someone advice me on what I can do to install hardspl or engineering spl to get fastboot working again T.T.

same problem
hi! am having exactly the same problem. stuck on stock SPL (hboot 0.95.0000) and radio (1.22.12.29). flashing radio via recovery (RA-dream-1.7.0) yields same results (formatting cache...). tried rebooting after reboot by radio but i still end up with old radio.
any thoughts?
i want to update radio so i can flash dangerSPL and be able to flash CM6.
TIA!

Yep, that's exactly how it works. First off, are you using T-Mobile USA?
Remember to NEVER flash DangerSPL on a 1.x, 4.x, or 6.x radio!!
The following are compatible radios that you can safely flash before you flash DangerSPL:
2.22.23.02 (T-Mobile USA)
3.22.26.17 (Rogers CA)
3.22.20.17 (Orange UK)
2.22.19.26I (Non-US)
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App
CyanogenMod V6.0.0 Stable / HBOOT-1.33.2005 / Radio 2.22.23.02 T-Mobile USA

using a T-Mobile G1 outside the U.S.
ok, since i can't update radio as it stands, here's my plan.
1. reboot to recovery mode
2. flash HardSPL
3. flash radio
(... if radio update successful)
4. flash DangerSPL
5. flash CyanogenMod6
6. do the funky chicken!
sounds good?

Yes, but I don't think that will make a difference. You should be able to flash the radio successfully on a stock HBOOT. I've never had problems flashing the radio before, so I don't know. But sure, you can update the HBOOT to HardSPL, but I don't think it'll make any difference.

exact same problem
Having the exact same problem. I have literally spent 2 days trying to do this.
Trying to do the whole CMwiki procedure, unlockr procedure, and various others.
Luckily I didn't brick it.
But I am in the same boat, now matter what I try, after flashing the radio via
recovery amon-ra 1.7 I check on fastbook and it is still 1.22 version of radio.
I have the stock Hboot, etc....
Has anyone had luck with fastboot / adb flashing the radio??
Thanks for any help.

[Q] Flash 2.22.27.08 radio and 1.33.0013d via recovery

Can i flash the new radio(2.22.27.08) and spl(1.33.0013d) via the ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 recovery(or RA 1.7.0)??
I have the files downloaded from a mytouch 3g thread and want to know if i can flash them over the recovery?it says there they are flashable but can i flash them with an HTC Dream??
wipe-flash radio-wipe-flash spl-wipe-flash rom
or will i brick my device??
Or can someone send me a german introduction how to set up fastboot on windows xp??i dont get the english one
Phone: HTC Dream (rooted)
ROM: COS-DS 03042011 2.3.3 Gingerbread
Radio: 2.22.23.02
Spl: 1.33.2005
sdcard: 2gb ; ext/3​

You can flash spl and radio using recovery, but I would *not* suggest you to do so, because the risk of bricking your phone is much higher, than flashing by fastboot.
To setup a fastboot environment on XP you can try to have a look at www.android-hilfe.de There are many people using a windows environment and I suppose they have a setup instruction in German, too.

I agree. To flash it via Fastboot safer. First flash Bootloader and reboot your phone, then flash new radio and reboot phone again.

thanks for reply!i will try it now with fastboot!if it wont work i try it via recovery

Helo
I have a question. I flashed via fastboot the radio(2.22.27.08) and spl(1.33.0013d) and i have a problem with the batery. I want to put back the old radio and spl and the problem is that i cannot flash it via fastboot the mesage is:
failedremote:signature verify fail)
Somebody some ideas

Pls read the OP of ezTerry's 2708-thread (a link can be found in my signature). But I doubt, that the radio is the reason for your battery problems.
Sent from my Gingerbread on Dream using XDA App

Agreed with AndDiSa. It also depending on what ROM you use and the apps that you have on your phone.

I made the change of radio and spl like in the link in the signature and it was ok(Radio: 2.22.27.08, SPL: 1.33.0013d), the flashing was working. The rom is update-cm-6.1.0-RC1-DS-2708port_S.zip because the update-cm-6.1.0-DS-2708port_S.zip is entering in boot loop.
Like you sad that this is probably a radio image problem that's why i tried to flash the old image back with the spl and i had that error message. Also I tried to change my splash image via fastboot(to flash it) and the result is the same

Mine is also bootlooping on COS-DS rom with this radio/hboot combo...probably just a radio error or something

[Q] HardSPL(10.95.300) to 10.33.2003 ?

Hi all.
I have htc G1 with:
HardSPL - 10.95.3000
Radio -2.22.19.26I
PVT Board
I am running old SuperD 1.11 and I want to upgrade to newest version of android. Should I do an upgrade to 10.33.2003 and modify partitions with Firerat script or do an upgrade to DeathSPL ?
Is it safe ?

start here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
rom links here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079194
for now ignore the poll, play around with each rom and decide for yourself
best place to start is probably EzGinger, be sure to install gapps !

according to ur links and this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6510019&postcount=76
He only mentions a flashing from RC29 not from HardSPL. So should I do an downgrade first ?
I am a bit confused but if I think correctly I should:
1.Do an upgrade to 1.33.2003
Code:
== Installing 1.33.2003 from stock RC29** SPL: ==
> From RC29 telnetd to root as usual
> install ra recovery
> flash the spl_1_33_2003.zip
> reboot system when prompted
2.Do
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.27.08.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.0013d.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
(I dont need recovery flashing becouse I have it)
and
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
3.Flash the new rom from recovery
4.Eventually flash the ezBiffTestKernel20110222-2708_S.zip
Is it correct ?

no need to downgrade, RC29 is just a baseline reference point
since you already have root, a custom recovery and a 2.x radio you can proceed directly to flashing the 1.33.2003 SPL
one you have 1.33.2003 SPL you will have full fastboot functionality
you could choose to stick with 1.33.2003 and use Firerat's cMTD with SPL Spoofing and keeping all of the fastboot goodness.
The 1.33.0013d SPL doesn't have full fastboot functions
BUT the extra 14mb ram is well worth it, you will just have to use recovery to flash new recoveries or if the worst come to pass and recovery is broken, you would need to downgrade the SPL using the Orange.nbh in Ezterry's post, fastboot a working recovery and redo the 2825 radio and 1.33.0013d again
Most, if not all, the current ROMs support the 1.33.0013d SPL and 2825 radio combo
and even if the ROM doesn't it is not too difficult to simply flash a compatible Kernel
And nothing to stop you using cMTD either
btw, go straight for the 2825 radio instead of radio-2.22.27.08.img
it is newer , just ignore what everyone says about US / EU and battery drain
Both Radios are Global, 2825 quickly replaced 2708 during roll out as a security update
and battery life is the same on 2825 and 2708

my choice would be to un-root first just so you dont mix anything up you forgot about..
first i would back up anything you want to keep including whats on your sd card so you can un partition it. all you need to do is re partition it and set swap as 0 and ext as 0.
now Just flash this update.zip in recovery first, than apply DREAIMG.nbh in fastboot mode.
DREAIMG.nbh http://www.4shared.com/file/9izdCbvo/DREAIMG.html
update.zip http://www.4shared.com/file/ePnmmoxA/update.html
simple as that! and you are back on 1.0 original stock firmware.
now update to 1.5 http://www.4shared.com/file/EyiKXmTd/update.html
now from here you root again.. download these files.
flashrec http://www.4shared.com/file/ABXfQQ1H/flashrec-113-20091107-2.html
radio http://www.4shared.com/file/jGTeRvfs/G1-radio-2_22_23_02.html
spl http://www.4shared.com/file/nJkB58Qf/Latest_G1_SPL.html
recovery http://www.4shared.com/file/zCVPjMUz/recovery-RA-dream-v170-cyan.html
place all the files on the root of your sd
now go on your phone download io file manager from the market, allow permissions and everything open the program and flash the flashrec file.
now press backup recovery let finish workin.. than type in the box
sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img
now press flash recovery let it work and your good! now power off device and reboot in recovery and do a wipe!
now you can flash the radio! do another wipe after reboot into recovery
and now flash the spl file! and now you should be able to flash tha Danger SPL
http://www.4shared.com/file/iYzhTaMc/spl-signed.html
just do same thing place on root of sd do a data wipe and flash that file and you will have danger spl and you can re partition your sd.. my prefference 128mb swap and 1024mb ext4
also you can now upgrade to newer radios like 2.22.28.25 just look arounf xda for the how to

a complete waste of time
radio is compatible so flash 1.33.2003
then fastboot 2825 radio and 1.33.0013d SPL
then flash rom
no point messing about reverting to stock and putting yourself in a brick risk situation
that would be a completely stupid noob move

Thanks Effdee ! Everything works great

I bricked my G1. I can still access RA recovery, fastboot

Hey guys. I was following this thread word by word. I reached step 2 and completed it. I also checked to see if my device says:
Dream PVT 32b ENG S-off
HBOOT 1.33.2005 (drea10000)
CPLD-4
RADIO 2.22.23.02
APR 20, 2009, 15:30:43
It was exactly the same way. I also installed the radio first, then Spl, then Danger SPL .. so it seemed everything was fine. After I flashed the Danger SPL, I went to start my phone so I can transfer the files from step 3, but my phone is stuck on the Tmobile Screen. Any ideas what went wrong and how can I fix it? I have an SD card reader so I can put files on it etc... Please advice on what to do. Thanks!

i just answered your question in the developers thread, but here is a better place for questions.
you arent bricked, just flash a rom and your good. when you can boot into recovery and or fastboot there is no issue, not even a softbrick really. so download a rom, your radio/spl would work well with super e. to do that download the rom and the gapps onto the root of your sd card, then via recovery scroll down to "flash zip from sd card" flash the rom first and the gapps next. when done reboot the phone, wait 5-10min and your done! easy!

So i don`t have to update to the 2.22.28.25/1.33.0013d to flash the newest ROMs? I would like to have the 2.22.28.25Radio and SPL 1.33.0013d . Can I just flash them after I install the rom? or can I install them now even though I cannot go through the T-Mobile screen?

yes you can change to the latest radio and spl, in fact i would recommend it, then flash a rom over that. id recommend froyobylaszlo or ezgingerbread. but there are other good roms out there, these just happen to be my favorites.

Yeah, you have to install them from fastboot
It's totally fine that you can't get past the T-Mobile screen
That's supposed to happen
After you install the spl/radio flash froyobylaszlo (like demkantor said)
And by the way if you go into recovery (home+power), and click "usb-ms" it'll connect to the computer so you can transfer stuff to the sd card
