Firstly i just want to ask about flashing SPL to HTC DREAM/G1.
i read many tutorial, say that FLAHING the device will potentially brink the device.
i just want to make sure before i made any changes to my radio firmware and SPL on my HTC DREAM
i successfully rooted my phone by using 1 click exploit root, and successfully flash the Cyanogen Recovery 1.4 and successfully flash Cyanogen Mod 4.0.2,
what i did not flash into my phone is the SPL and the radio firmware.
And here is my a series of question
i found that my phone battery life is shorter, i am doing nothing with my phone (just stand by) but the battery life only last a day usually it will last for 2 day. Seems like the battery life is draining faster than usual.
- is that because of cyan build set the clock speed to max during heavy load?
- or i did not update the radio firmware (my phone is buy from singapore)?
About updating the Radio firmware
- if i update the radio firmware only and not flashing new SPL like HARD SPL, or DANGER SPL,and the phone is already flashed (successfully) Cyanogen Recovery 1.4 and the CyanogenMod 2.0.4, if i did that (the radio firmware update) can this cause a brick to my phone?
About FLASHING new SPL
- i know FLASHING SPL could be dangerous, how do i make sure not to brick my phone ? What stuff I need to be cautious and make sure not to brick the phone?
- i have been reading about flashing HERO ROM, but before that the phone need to update RADIO FIRST! and then SPL. Is that only apply to HERO ROM, or it can be apply in any other rom that require moded SPL and new radio?
- is the new SPL like HARD SPL, DANGER SPL load(boot) other ROM as well other than HERO ?
ABOUT NANDROID BACKUP,
- if i make a backup from my phone, in my phone have cyanogen Recovery flashed, original SPL and radio. is the original SPL and radio also backup by the NANDROID ?
- if i flashed my radio and SPL (the new one), and when i perform a restore from the NANDROID backup will the original SPL and radio also restore ?
About the Boot sequence on Android platform if the given schematic draw by me (correct my if wrong), so the SPL is the most basic layer which handle everything from boot, like normal booting into Android OS, Recovery mode and HBOOT or FAST BOOT MODE.
- If in case i screw up the SPL (by flashing the new one), and unable to boot my phone or boot into FASTBOOT MODE or RECOVERY MODE. What else can i do (i know, i'm just prepare for the worst)??
Sorry for my bad English (my English sucks!) and i just want to make sure i don't want brick my phone and cause any trouble and eventually bugging people here and wining about bricking my phone lol.
any clarification or explanation would be fantastic
Thank in advance.. ..

For the phone lasting 2 days that is great. Most peoples might last a couple hours after some use. You should always upgrade your radio, without the new radio you can run into issues with BT and dropping calls. And you CAN NOT brick your phone flashing the radio. Once you have the new radio you can flash the new spl if you please. Just make sure you have a pvt board (find out by powering on phone by cam+power). If you do flash the new spl make sure to have the rom you wanting to flash already on your sd card cause the spl will overwrite your existing rom. So you will flash the new rom right after the spl or you will be stuck at the g1 screen (NO its not a brick).

i still be able boot into recovery mode ?? if can good......
what is BT by the way ??
i checked from HBOOT,
the info is
DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.261
this seems like a PVT board to me, is that a PVT board ??
oh ya by the way radio firmware is some how related to HSPDA or 3G connection, coz before flash into cyanogen 4.0.2, i always get HSPDA connection mode which is faster than 3G, but now i only get 3G connection.
By updating the Radio can solve that problem ?
btw thanks for the quick reply

Yes you have a PVT board.
You already have the newest radio.
BT = Blue Tooth
You don't have HSPDA it's just an icon. Some roms have the H icon and some the 3G

Nice essay, juts follow directions

sorry to bring a dead post back, but I also did the 1-click root and I really want to get my SPL to the HARD SPL as I have teh stock G1 with the current Radio...
Since I have the current radio, I should be able to just install the SPL, then the steps to install whatever rom correct?

power down your phone then press and hold
Camera button(Right side of your Dream/G1)+Power Button(Red Phone button)
tell us what you have there and we can go from there to get out of that after you type the info in from the spl press these buttons at the same time
Green Phone Button+Menu+Power Button(Red Phone Button)

PLEASE HELP :) home home screen, can get into recovery but can't flash

Hello,
I hope that title helped a little OK, so I have a a big problem. My phone turns on, boots up, and has some functionality like calling but I can not get tot he home screen and has tons of FC's. So I decided to try and reinstall a new ROM. I'm using RA-dream-v.1.6.2 for my recovery which it will boot to. Once inside there I can not boot the zip files on the SD card "E:No Zip files found" and the USB toggle does not work. Before I was also getting some type of Dev/block issue which does not seem to be showing up now, and I have no idea why. Its says the device is connected but it will never show up on my computer. I don't care about losing all my stuff because there was nothing on there anyway. I just want the phone to get back to normal so I don't have to buy a Nexus Sh*#. Any help or suggestions would be great. One other side not is that I'm running the danger SPL. Please help me out guys. Thanks
Other info:
Dream PVT 32B eng s-off

Update: Now it willnot get past the ROM "sparksco" flash screen! Any thoughts guys? Should I install a new recovery? What about just resetting the phone back to stock and starting over? Any thoughts guys?

[Q] Help needed rooting my G1

Hi Folks,
I've been at it for weeks now but got in a mess that i am unable to resolve.
First i tried the oneclick method to root my phone but that came out blank.
Then i followed the guide posted on this forum but again no luck.
When i try to restore to a previous version of android ( RC29) all i get is " not allow' when i try to load it ( camera button + power on button ).
I bought this phone new as a liquidation offer from T-mobile.
The guy that sold me the phone says it is a European model. ( not US or UK).
these are the specs of the phone:
Android 1.6
Smallband 62.50s.20.17 U_2.22.19.26I
Kernel 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37
Build DRC92
When i enter the phone to install dreaimg.nbh i get the following info.
Drea110 PVT 32B
HBoot - 0.95.0000
CLPD-4
Radio 2.22.19.26I
sep 2 2008
serial0
the error code when i install = 0028002.
any help is much appreciated!
kind regards

Ooh my god!
that just took seconds!
I've been at it so long!
And now with the right app it's done in seconds.
THANKS A MILLION!

i'll let you know how that goes.

EDIT:
Still at it.
did not get any further then the G1 logo when i used the cyanogen offered by ROM Manager.
still looking in to that...

Suggestion to manually boot to recovery mode if you can. ROM Manager tends to not works correctly. I had the same problem and currently trying to fix it.

Thanks for the link

[Q] 00028002 Not Allow - HTC Dream

I was trying to update to ginger yoshi from google ion 3 days ago, but I think I messed up and I just decided to just unroot and restore to original stock rom. Now I am stuck with this error message everytime I boot.
DREA110 PVT 32B HBOOT-0.95.0000 CPLD-4 RADIO-2.22.23.02 RUUNBH
I was trying to flash different DREAIMG.nbh that i found (RC7,RC29), but I keep getting 00028002 not allow.
I read the previous posts here related to my problem and still not working.
I remember I made my SD card a goldcard before.
Any help is much appreciated. I'm on my wit's end.

ok well that was the original rc29 for US... maybe ur phone is UK model? which means you need rc7 and sadly i do not have a link to that.. BUT that might not be the only problem.. im not sure if the goldcard thing might have something to do with it.. lol im sorry wish i could help more..

You can try to flash this rom (orange-1.58.73.2.nbh) by copying to you sd-card and flash from hboot mode.
It comes from the +14MB thread and will give you a rom with a full engineering spl from where you can flash all other things using fastboot.

0002802
In my case I got a phone which I did not know if it was from Europe or the US. I just happened to get the "0002802" error when using what I assume to have been the wrong firmware (European in my case) as when I tried the US version everything worked fine.
In the Cyanogmode wiki there are both versions download them and try both

[Q] updating hboot spl radio, lost in a sea of outdated information

CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.23.02
(Sep 2 2008)
I have used the androot method for root and flashed clockwork recovery,
I believe I have the spl for fastboot installed but I'm not sure and don't want to continue until I know what I need to do, any help guys?
//old post of my failed attempt on the first G1
"Ive rooted a few devices so im not new to the game.
So i tried to downgrade from 1.6 to 1.5 to root ect.
I havent even touched the spl yet, and after the update i power the device off and it will not power on, power button not working with any combos or alone. Also no leds at all when pluged in wall usb, or computer usb (multiple power cords, outlets, data cables, and 2 differnt PCs). Also 3 differnt batteries multiple sim cards and sd cards and without sim or sd, check connections with battery, not bent or deformed or damaged
I clearing screwed something up, possible battery pull at a bad time
So from what i have read i possibly have to do the motherboard replacement? Or something else? Jtag wont work if it wont boot period i believe

what actually was ur radio and spl's before u tried rooting???
and u used some application???
the procedure employed???
btw...is the battery properly charged?
either used another battery, or charge it thru some other source and then try using...

Everything was stock 1.6, so stock radio and spl, never got very far, downgraded to 1.5 powered off then no power up

and, by holding camera+power...if these are successful, u need not worry...
try that

Neither of those work
