...It's pretty much been over half a year since I needed to root my phone again, but I just received a brand new one from tmob.
SO. I did the root deal, that went super smooth, I have JF1.51 CRB43 ADP to start with.
NOW, I am trying to update the radio, and it does not seem to be working. From what I remember and what I've read, all you do is flash it like you would any rom, rename to update.zip and recov alt+s, right? Well, when I check the radio version it still says the original, not what I flashed. So I re-downloaded and tried again, no luck.
....feel like a real idiot here haha, never had it not work before. Tried searching but I had no luck finding the solution. By all means if you have a link and this was a pointless post just tell me, else I just need some help!
which recovery image do you have installed

If your using Cyanogen's recovery, try to physically press the alt-s, and home + back to reboot
I believe it works like that for flashing the IPL (radio) and SPL
where did you get the radio from?
Sorry I left out the recov info, I know my signature is misleading...didn't change it yet..!
I'm using JF 1.43 recov, I remember that (not sure if it was ever fixed, all I know is that flashing the SPL with CM recov caused 'error at line ___' when flashing new roms) that you cannot flash the new SPL with cyanogen recovery, so I'm using JF's until I get the radio and spl flashed correctly.
I got the radio from where I usually have in the past, as well as the new SPL
http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/
(Of course I will not flash the latest SPL until the newest radio is flashed first!)
I just want my happy CM 3.9.7 back..! With the ability to flash the new hero roms when I get curious..
****I am now attempting to flash the radio with cm recov 1.4, will update on this if it works.
****no luck with cm either, didn't think it would make a difference but thought I would give it a shot. I still have 1.22.12.29 for my radio :/ agh!
So...Still can't update the radio for whatever reason, just does not take, and I still can't find anything in the forums about this either... :/ Anyone have any ideas at all?
get the radio from the htc website maybe you got a bad download. i have flashed radio and new spl with cyanogens recovery so i know it will do it. after flashing the radio press home and back to reboot. do not reboot from the recovery console because i have noticed that it will not write the image.

Thanks for the link ^-^ I will give it a shot. Good to her that the CM recov flashes the new SPL alright now..! I will post results...every time I flash it goes through the motions of writing the radio but just never shows that I have the new one..super frustrating.
** I also notice that whenever I have tried to flash the radio on the new phone, when I reboot it goes through the appropriate motions, yes, however it puts me back into recovery every time. I wonder if I should just completely start over (unroot, re-root) hope thats not the case..I just got it all set back up again :/
Nope, no matter where I download from and how many times I flash with different recoveries.. I still have the original radio 1.22.12.29 :/
This has always been so easy! I've never had issues with rooting, then updating the radio, then updating to the new SPL.. :/

If you can, try rerooting, it will only be a few more steps.

Yeah, I was hoping to not have to but I will in a bit here if I still can't figure it out. I have root just fine, running CM 3.9.9.1 even, which I usually only run his roms, however I do like to try the Hero roms as well as they come out..
bummer :/

I don't know why its not updating your radio, but everything else works fine. You should update the radio before updating to cupcake builds. maybe that will help?
gave up for a while, finally re-rooted
Re-rooted and still cannot update my radio, I have tried updating it after the very first rooting steps, after updating to JF RC33 as well, I still can't get the latest radio to get onto my phone. I have tried with JF recovery, CM recovery, as well as the original recovery image, and nothing. Notta. Zip. No idea why my phone simply will not take the new radio image.. I have re-downloaded it a million times as well, going in circles..don't get why the phone will let me root, unroot, all that jazz, and simply will not let me update the radio... driving me nuts!! I can use CM roms just fine of course but any other roms I am stuck with not trying cause of this annoyance!! Anything anyone can recommend would be great
o man still can't get it to work?
try flashing the official 1.5 OTA update, which contains the updated radio. see if it gives you an error message. if it does, take it to tmobile and tell them to replace your phone.
if it flashes...see if it updated your radio. if it did, you can use the one click root to root your phone
Thanks again buddy, I will try it out ^^
So, I unrooted, and applied the OTA updates from 29 to 30, 30 to 33, 33 to cupcake..and I still don't have the latest radio, still at 1.22.12.29. I got the ota cupcake here:
https://android.clients.google.com/updates/partner/signed-kila-ota-150275.53dde318.zip
i'm going to try flashing the ota radio update without root if it will let me..grr..this is so weird, there is no reason why it shouldn't take a simple radio update..hrm
***attempted the ota radio update, guess you can't without root which is what I figured, but frick, this makes no sense.. >>
so, this is a bit odd, at http://developer.htc.com/adp.html, one of the spots to DL the latest radio, when you hover over the radio link for 1.5 and 1.6, it says "ota-radio-1_22_14_11.zip" rather than "ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip", weird, eh? Wonder if it's simply not the right radio, and labeled wrong, I have no idea, but this is getting super old.
I'm actually having the same problem, can't seem to update the radio with the radio image the htc site provides. It's still stuck at 1.22.12.29
Anyone had this before? Any help would be appreciated
I can't get around it, and it's really frustrating, since the only rom I can use is a CM build..aside from a couple others, but CM is the best as far as universal SPL use goes..
So what I've tried so far:
- Updated to HardSPL
- Tried multiple Radio updates, new ones, old ones, even some from the forums.
- Tried a few complete updates that include the radio image
- Tried flashing directly from fastboot, not sure what partition I need to flash though, the radio partition gives me an error that it does not exist.
Still no go. The weird thing is that I come from a stock 1.5 installation updated from 1.0 via t-mobile. And I'm still at the original 1.0 radio image.
Please help!!! I started messing with my phone about a week ago and I install the Android 1.6 dev. It will not flash anything, not even an spl. What am I missing. I almost feel bad asking because all of you seem to have such knowledge of this stuff. Thank you very much
I don't wanna bring your hopes down thinking this was help lol but u prolly tried flashing cyanogens new rom and its funny cause i was JUST about to post this same shiet. but anyways. i was thinking about flashing the dream file but i dunno if that owuld brick my phone or not. and just to clarify its the htc 1.6 dev right? i mean if thats the only 1? lol
yup
That is exactly what happened! I don't understand how this isn't a major issue and posted everywhere. If you figure it out make sure you let me know and I will do the same. Take it slow!
Can you explain what the problem problem is? What have you been trying to flash? Do you get errors? What recovery image are you using?
Btw, if you're flashing an SPL or radio with Cyans recovery, you can't use the trackball. It must be an update.zip which you install by pressing alt-s and reboot using home+power. If you don't it wont be installed.
Well, I don'tk now about the original poster, but I've tried flashing the OTA cupcake rom to downgrade. renamed to update, went into recovery but it says its not authorized. and.. im afraid to put the dream.nbh or w/e cause it might brick the phone.
PS: This is 1.6 without root. this is the dev ver. so we have the exclamation point recovery not cyan.

okay first you need a app called flashrec it will dl cyan recovery image then you reboot.But you need root first also teh dreaimg.nbh file which is RC29.
1.5 cupcake rc30 or something and up was patched with the one click root, that's why we were trying to downgrade to 1.5..
nothing works
I can't use the flash rec because it won't back up the recovery image! Everything I try to flash just goes to installation aborted! I don't know what to do!
It's b ecause 1.5 rc30+up (including 1.6) patched up the 1 click, but an answer would be nice
flash the dream image and start from scratch. that takes everything back to stock, then you can re-root. This thread can walk you through it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=491350
it doesnt work
I already tryed that but it won't let me flash the spl!
i tried that too
I tried flashin the dreaimg too. I have ran jf1.5 before and flashed themes and everything. That's why I don't understand why I can't flash anything. The 1.6 work but the recovery image isn't letting me flash anything at all! Once I installed the 1.6 dev it flashed me from the 1.4 cyanogen image to the exclamation image with a differnt bootloader. Ever since then I can't flash anything.
i think he means using camera + power unroot it.but im guessing we don't flash the SPL since we can't, we just flash the dream.nbh?
After Factory Reset
Guys,
I did factory reset but now I can not work with HTC dream as it is requesting me to cerate a gmail account, and I can not cerate because I do nto have internet in my mobile operator.
Does anyone knwo how to bypass this mesage?
please help meee.
r,
bhowd u do the factory reset?
I did it!!!
I had to download sdk, get it working, fastboot the the cyanogen 1.4 recovery image. After the it let me install all of my updates. YAAAAYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
could you tell me the steps of what you did?
I'm stuck with ADP1 1.6 ><
Thanks a lot!!
This will work!!!
Trust me this will work because it took me hours to figure out. Install sdk, get it to work. They explain how to use the program on the forum. After you finally get into fastboot flash the cm 1.4 recovery image. After you do that you can bootup into that recovery and it will then read all of your zip files unlike that stupid exclamation recovery.
slightly confused
So you mean you used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010 to figure out how to use the sdk right?
If not, can show me the link to that guide?
Many thanks!!!
yes
Yes, I used the sticky notes at the top of Dream Q&A to figure it out and it wasn't too fun.
I just rooted my g1 and i'm having problems trying to install cms rom.
some info;
DREA100 PVT 32B
HSPL10.95.3000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
Oct 20 2008
I installed cm's recover 1.4 img and have access to the recovery screen no problem.
Tired installing AP1.6 but can't confirm it got installed.
I did this..
wipe
flashed signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721
wipe
flashed cm 4.2.7.1
goes to the T-mobile screen, then it loads up cm's boot screen then after where it should take me to the setup screen, it turns gray/black and stays there.
please give me some imput on what i'm doing wrong.
Thanks!
You wipe, then you flash the ota update. Reboot and it will go back into recovery by itself. from there you install cm, without wiping. Reboot and you are good.
Ok i've done just that.
wiped
flashed ota, it goes back to recovery image
i flash cm 4.2.7.1
reboot and it does the same thing.
t-mo logo loads up. then cm's android bootscreen loads up.
then it goes gray/black and stays there.
i know im doing something wrong but not sure what... should i install a older cm rom first? since i'm coming from a fresh rooted g1? i was coming from rc29

it shouldn't make a difference. how much time did you wait? It could take up to 15 minutes for the first initial boot.
i've waited about 10mins. but even if it goes to the gray/black screen i should wait for it longer?
gonna redo this again and wait for a longer time. 20mins max and see where it goes from there.
Upgrade to amon_ra recovery 1.5
Then do this
Wipe
install ADP 1.6
flash cm rom right after flashing ADP without reboot
now reboot and it will go back to recovery mode
now reboot once again and wait my friend
I'm still waiting for about 20mins to see if it reboots good.
If not then i'll be doing the new amon_ra recovery 1.5 way.
should i install a older cm rom if coming from bare root?
or it doesn't matter if i'm flashing 1.6?
you might want to consider upgrading your spl while you're at it. Just a thought. I don't think it's necessary for running Cyanogen, but it'd be nice to have in case you ever want to run a hero rom to upgrade to the danger spl
where can i get the spl? I dont wanna install the danger one since I wont be installing hero on it. I just wanna run cm roms.
no luck still. but have another dumb question for you folks.
the spl i have is this. .. HSPL10.95.3000
is this ok to run cm or should i upgrade it? i know that there is a spl that is used to run hero roms but i'm not gonna be doing that so I thought that maybe there might be another spl out there that is a upgrade from the one i have?
gonna go search the forums for this btw. I dont wanna be a pain about this.

I was wondering if it was your spl that could be preventing the rom to boot up. If you don't want to flash the danger spl, you can flash another one, like the HardSPL. I'm sure if you look in one of the sticky's or locked threads at the top of the forums in development you will probably be able to find a download link. It's worth a shot. Since you already have the latest radio, there is no reason to worry about upgrading the radio.
i was checking the forums and i have the hard spl.
or at least this says is the hard one. goes something like this..
hardspl =VER: HSPL10.95.3000
then
Engineering SPL=VER: HBOOT-0.95.3000
and last
G1 Original SPL=VER: HBOOT-0.95.0000
still no luck with installing cm's rom.. gonna look some more.
thanks for all the help guys! please if you think of something else let me know.
ok can't figure this crap out. gonna go bald lol
did a restore on my recovery and i'm back to this.
Model number: Android Dev Phone 1
Firmware version: 1.6
Baseband version: 62.50s.20.1H_2.22.19.26I
Kerner version: 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37
[email protected] #19
Build number: dream_devphone-userdebug 1.6 DRC83 14721 test-keys
It does show the 1.6ADP
but what the hell lmao. I can't install cm though.
Not gonna touch the g1 right now till hopefully some of you can tell me how or what to do to upgrade my rom to hopefully cm4.2.7.1.
Again i'm really sorry for being soo needy.
oh crap. I think i lost root access again >_< crap
what's the best way to check to see if i still have root?
turned off phone and tried going into recovery but now it just shows the triangle ! and the phone pic. guess root is gone???
The newer Spl rearranges how mem is allocated so more is given to system partition on phone which allows larger roms to be installed(heros).Any SpL is fine for cyanogen/enom/dwang roms.

The triangle means root is no longer with you,young one.
ok, gonna root it again. i can get it to rc29 no problem but that's where the entire thing went wrong. will post later. wish me luck
ok rooted my g1 once again. gonna install the 1.4 recovery image now.
ok installed 1.4 recovery, now performing a backup for this point.
I think I have a old cm rom around somewhere.. .. its a 3.9.5cm should i update radio first then install this or visa versa?
+ok, installed 1.4 and flashed new radio. now gonna do what your saying and see where it goes. performing backups at each point >< lol
-ok i went to recovery and flashed the new radio and it's still formating cache... its been like 5mins already. should i reboot or wait longer?
i'm still needing to install the 1.6ADP and the rom still.
Don't reboot between the 2 zip files.
Boot to recovery
do a wipe
wipe it again for good measure
install from zip signed dev dream zip
install from zip Cyanogenmod 4.2.7.1
reboot
It will tell you it is writing radio then actually reboot
It will reboot to recovery mode
where it will tell you its writing cache...
wait till it offers reboot option again
Reboot
you shoul dget the G1 screen, than the cyanogen screen...
yes it might take a while on the second screen...I have never had it hang more than about 8 minutes.
Then you should be operational.
I do have a reoccuring issue with poor response after the initial boot to the desktop.
I usually just wait for it to stop all the background shuffling and then it smooths out.
YMMV
ok this is where i am so far...
have root
have hardspl
have recovery 1.4
have Radio Update 2.2.19.26I
now i'm gonna perform backup and do what you just said. hopefully since i did everything brand new there will be no issues.
I just got a replacement G1 from Tmobile, for free bless their hearts, cause my headset is going to the crapper. I'm trying to update my raido to the 2_22_19_26I, as I did before with my first G1, so I can install the DangerSPL. I have tried with the stock recovery, Cyan's 1.4, and Amon-RA's 1.5.2 to install it, and each time, it goes about the update process as normal, asks me to reboot, I see the picture of the chip and then it takes me back to recovery.
Each time, though, I'm still at the 1_22_12_29. I check by turning on the phone, then Settings --> About Phone, and also by going into the SPL, still at the 1.
Any ideas?
EDIT: also I'm using the radio on HTC's developer website, so it's legit.
Uh, i'm not XDA police but i'm pretty sure this goes in Q&A.
You need a custom recovery before you can even upgrade the radio but are you on 1.5 doing the one-click?

When your in rec mode you must flash the radio while there, i heard the rec gets deleted if you dont update the radio when you install a recovery.

Can you load roms since you said you tried recoveries?
I can load everything, ROM's, SPL's, different recoveries, boot.img's.
I've tried updating the radio before I upgrade the SPL, after, with a stock recovery, or with Amon-RA's/Cyanogens. I don't know why it's not working.

Donut roms(1.6) dont need the Haykuro or Hard SPL you can load roms with the one you have now.If you want to use hero or eclair then you'll need the radio and SPL.
Also if the radio is anything like the spl, don't use the trackball while flashing it
Another user and I, have this same issue with no solution, we have threads in dream q&a and dream general. I also used recovery flasher to gain root when I was on cupcake. My radio is older than yours though =/ if you can't find the threads ill post the links tmw, as I'm abt to sleep now..good luck hopefully we can all find a solution, or at least identify the source of the problem..
not sure if this will be of much help, but you can always try to revert back to the stock firmware using the dreaimg.nbh file and stock spl.
i had a friend who, like with your radio, couldn't flash the more recent custom recoveries.
whatever the reason was, i suggested that he just "unroot" and go back to android 1.0, stock spl, stock radio , whatever, and just re-root from there

I apologize to sound rude, but I've been with XDA and the G1 rooting community since 1.0. I know these are good, helping tips and guides, but I've tried to explain that I've done everything like that already, gone back to stock, gone up to cyan's 4.2.13, gone back to stock, then up to a stock 1.6, even with the stock updates, when it says writing radio, radio doesn't update.
your replies are appreciated, just not really relevant or helpful.
I was setting up a friends g1 and same thing, he got the phone from warranty exchange and I was able to downgrade, gain root, change recovery image and flash enom's rom with no issue. But upon boot up I saw his radio image was .29 and tried to update the radio. I kept getting something like "line 2: getting prop(device = dream)"
So I started all over rc29, root, recovery image and every time I try to update radio, same issue. Even when use Cyan's method and try the developer's image with radio update, it fails.
In the end, since enom's rom can use any radio, he was ok with it. But really i wanted to get his g1 on the latest radio image. I feel your pain as I researched the errors as well and couldn't find anything. Good luck.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm going through, except it's not throwing up any errors or anything. it updates, says "writing radio image...", reboots with the HTC symbol, and goes back to Recovery and Formats the CACHE like always. *sigh* maybe T-mobile found a way to mess with us after all?
Just a question, when u rooted, did u do it the old way or new way. And by old way that I used, was the DREAIMG.nbh, then on home screen the type cd /sdcard blah blah...
Ok so lets start out by saying i know i am not bricked because i am able to get into fastboot as well as recovery. So this all started when i tried to move to CyanogenMod v4.2.13 . At 1st i was on Cyanongen 4.2.10 which i was having some problems on so i wanted to move to a new rom. I then went to flash xROM Eclair-v1.0 which went ok but then i started to get FCs and wanted to go back to Cyanogen roms. I then flashed the 4.2.13 rom and i am where i am not. Every time i have tried to re flash the the rom i have done a full wipe of both the phone and the EXT, but i get stuck on the G1 screen every time no matter what. I have let it seat there for 30 mins with no luck at all. Not sure what to try now. Any ideas would be great.
Here is what i am running right now.

Hboot-1.33.2005
Radio-2.22.19.26I
I am running the RA recovery RA-Dream-v1.5.1
Any help would be great thanks.
Have you tried to downgrade with dream.nhg and reroot ? I'm sure therebis better method then this too I'm jus throwing idea out there would wait for this and some one with more experince to help out.
Also did you flash the 1.6 ota before cyan rom, just trying make it clear for future questions.. Also try a different rom suggest trying superd 1.2 it's super fast and very stable
No don't downgrade using dream.nbh it will downgrade the radio and kill your phone!
You already have the DangerSPL installed, so you can't downgrade the radio anymore.
Just try to flash a ROM which was made for the DangerSPL (also called DeathSPL, HaykuroSPL etc.)
Same problem-FREAKING OUT
Hi,
I think I have the same problem and I think my phone is bricked. A long time ago I changed the two splash screen pictures and not I can't event get past the first 1. I'm stuck at the first splash screen.
I just learned that everytime you want to flash cyan, you have to flash the radio 1.6, wipe then falsh the cyan rom. I think I did some mis steps and effed it up. PLEASE HELP.
I think I have the Danger SPL that sats Dream PVT 32B ENG S-Off, HBOOT 1.33.2005 (DREA10000), CPLD_4, Radio 2.22.19.26I, Apr 20 2009,15:30:43. I have JF 1.42 recovery and been trying to update to Cm recovery1.4 but have had no luck because of these problems.
How do you flash a rom from the SPL screen with the three android on skateboards. I just need to figure this out please.
IS MY PHONE DEAD?

Where did you read that... It's not true.
And no - your phone is most likely not "dead."
oh phew! what should I do now tho? I just hit camera and power and then hit back and reset the device by pushing send and that worked but now it won't start again.
Should I wipe and try the same spl thing again?

Wow thanks for saying thatt I did not see that danger spl was flashed! Good catch! So yes don't downgrade! I'm sure you can flash orinial spl again too..
What you can try is super d 1.6 that requires "danger spl"
how do we go about getting a super d 1.6? what is that?

To access recovery, hold Home + Power.
If you have a ROM on your SD card (the root), flash it (ALT + S i think it is.) If your ROM requires a wipe, ALT + W wipes.
Make sure you have the right Radio + SPL for whatever ROM you run.
JGo to the develop forums and look for super d 1.6 rom.. and flash it like any other rom.. wipe factory reset then flash any zip it requires danger spl so should for those that have it.. like said its really good and pretty well stable and blazing fast

Oh i had a question,
when i take my sd card out and then go to the spl and reset the device, it worked. does that mean that there is something wrong with my sd card? If so do you know where there are instructions to reformat it?

So you get passed the G1 screen? If you have a extra sd card that's not partation use that to flash your rom(make sure it'd formated to fat32) then when you get into a rom put your partation sd back in then go to settings and format sd card there then go into recovery Amon ra and repartation sd.. Jus a suggestion too you can reformat within recovery too I jus don't kno the commands
Well what i have been trying is to get 4.2.8 back since that has been the best rom i think Cyanogen has had out, but that doesn't even work when it has always been my backup rom. Well I am about to try Super D 1.6 will report back after it.
Edit: Well SuperD 1.6 flashed good and is running but why is it that no mater how many times i try i can't get CyanogenMod to flash ok when i was able to do it before.
Ooo I liked cyan roms but notice some lags after awhile use superd is great and well worth trying it
I figured it OUT! I think my sd card was courrupted or something because it wouldn't boot with the card in but when I took it out and booted using the Danger SPL like I described a few posts back, it worked and got past the first boot screen.
Then I flash cm_recovery_1.4.img but leaving it on the sd and reinserting the sd card when the phone booted. (Oh and I flashed cm 4.2.9.1 because I heard its the most stable)
Next I reformated my sdcard and then partitioned it using the following instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534714&highlight=partition+sd
Hope this helps anyone who has same problem. THANK YOU ILOST! Is yours working now too?
Forget the thread all is well again with Cyanogen Roms working. Turns out my SD card needed to be repartitioned but since i was at school all day. I wasn't able to get on a PC and download the ROM. Wonder why the card needed to be repartitioned, but whatever it works now thanks for taking the time to read the thread.
just flash the base rom then flash cyanogen!!!! or flash dwang!!!!!
Nice to hear PROD, I think you had the same problem that I had.
OKAY, now since I've been reflashing like crazy and lost ALL my old apps and imformation since I was using JF 1.5 before.
However, I backed up on nandroid before all this craze, does anyone know how to replace certain files like password safe or shipping list apps and daat on a new nandroid backup so then essentially all my old information can be on this new platform???
Well glad to see both you got working again! Congrats! Hope all will stat well I had this same problem continously. And I believe it's due to cheap / low class sdcards.. Usually when I flash from a different rom and I need to wipe, usually backup what's on sd and apps using titanium backup then format sdcard within phone the flash new rom after I repart it
Congrats to you ilost, you got this thread going well.
I used my backup but when I use that or nandroid then it replaces my recovery back to the old JF recovery and then I'm back at square one so I'm looking for a way to replace or insert certain old nandroid files into a new nandroid file.
