Thanks for the link i tried searching but couldnt find it.
That covers the "safe" SPLs, though in theory a bad flash with any bootloader can brick a phone. If you're interested in the "Danger" SPL, which is also known as the Haykuro SPL or the "newest" SPL, check the link in my sig. This SPL really isn't a problem to flash if you have a PVT board and if you make sure to flash to the latest radio first. It also frees up more room on your device, because it takes up less space and repartitions your device accordingly.
I am looking for a dump of the original Rogers 1.33.0009 SPL which still allows the fastboot boot command. I have my phone happily rooted on the 1.33.0010 "perfect" spl but would like the fastboot flaw still around.
Yes I know that I could just install the Danger SPL & I have done it before but I prefer the stock Rogers radio (I'm OCD about it, don't ask) so I am sticking with just EBI1 kernels in a stock radio.
Hello I have a mytouch3g with CM 4.2.10.1. Both my radio and SPL are the stock ones.
Now, I want to flash my Perfect SPL to a Non perfect one.
First of all can someone FINALLY explain to me what a non perfect SPL will do for me?
And can someone please epxplain WHICH SPL to use and a step by step guide on how to flash it? i dont want to brick my phone . I HAVE googled this and have found guides for G1 and 32A but not for mytouch (32B)
Also im not sure if this is where to post but because Dream Dev forums also server as Magic 32B forums Im going out on a limb here lol
Again any help would be appreciated!
as long as you are running CM rom you don't need to flash/update spl
... wat if i want to try another rom?
can you please not reply 'you dont need it' and instead reply what the benefits are and how to flash it?
thanks!
The reason you flash a new SPL is so that you can use different ROMs that need it. Unless you want to switch from Cyanogen then there isn't a reason to flash a new SPL. If you want to flash Haykuro's SPL (A.K.A "Death" SPL) then here are my instructions.
1. Make sure you have a custom recovery.img like Amon-Ra's or Cyan's
2. Download the new radio and Haykuro's SPL from here. http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
Also download whatever new ROM you want to try out that uses the new SPL. Put those 3 .zips onto your SD card.
3. Put your phone into recovery and make a Nand Backup, just in case.
4. FLASH THE RADIO FIRST!!! IF YOU FLASH THE SPL BEFORE THE RADIO THEN YOUR PHONE WILL BRICK!!!
5. Flash the SPL.
6. Flash your new ROM.
Yes, exactly in that order, and yes, you have to flash a new ROM or reflash the one you're using.
BTW, I am not responsible if you brick your phone.
what about flashing custom splash images?
and yes i do want to try some other roms

Those you'll need fastboot for, and a fastboot-enabled spl (i.e. Haykuro spl). There are very nice guides in the theme section on what you'll need and how to do it

Since you said you're on a T-Mobile MyTouch 3G you might want to check out this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019
Using an SPL file for the dream, like you've been linked to in a previous post could quite possibly brick you're phone.
CyanogenMod work's on both Dream's & Sapphires but not all associated fies for theese phone are interchangeable, solely based on the fact that the ROM you're using is.
My best advice to you would be to browse the Sapphire threads before going any further with you're mod's
woot flashed my SPL to 1.33.2005 and it worked like a charm! also flashed my splash image.
jsut one question: on my bootloader screen the SPL says H, instead of G. My stock perfect SPL said G. I know H stands for HTC SPL and G is the Google SPL, but what is the difference in functionality?

Did you flash the radio?
Haykuro SPL allows larger roms to be installed(i feel like a broken record repeating this) that's all you need to know the other details arent necessary to know.
no i did not flash the radio? why, do i need to?

You didnt mention you had the 26I radio, nevermind then thought you had a older one. Also you should have said your using mt3g since it doesnt need the radio.
i did say i have a mt3g its in my original post
im so confused. I KNOW i didnt brick my phone causei m already booted into cyanogen mod and definatly NOT bricked.
so wat the hell is going on????
why is my letter changed from a G to an H? what does this mean to me?

Nothing. you didnt brick, i got you confused with someone else that asked about help with rooting.
You dont need to worry about the stuff in bootloader its from the SPL upgrade.
then why did my letter change from a G to an H?
should i flash something else?
im freaking out right now !

Do you mean in fastboot?
Its suppose to change...
I dont understand why your so concerned with that, its should say Hboot.
Sapphire/Magic/Ion/MT3G roms are here, some G1 roms work though
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=493
what?? No everything works i can load into bootloader, change from Hboot mode to fastboot mode, i can boot into my ROM (cyanogen 4.2.10.1) and everything seems to be working.
to clarify: in bootloader, on top it it used to show me (on stock perfect SPL) SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-ON G
now it shows me (on danger SPL) SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
the G changed to an H
I have read that the H stands for an HTC SPL and G stands for Google SPL. Since the stock SPL was google and I changed to HTC is this going to cause any problems? and was it suppose to change to an H in the first place or did i do something wrong??

You didnt say that though, i was unsure of what you meant. You see that SPL is from the HTC Magic which has the H not G. It suppose to show H. That is the HTC SPL not the standard google one shiiped w/ google experience phones .
i understand that but does this affect my Mytouch 3g (which is a google phone) in any way?
Can you flash the Hard SPL over the .2005 SPL if your on the new dream radio? Or do i need to revert to original radio than flash?
Thank you

You can flash ANYTHING YOU WANT over ANYTHING YOU HAVE, just be sure to ONLY USE FASTBOOT. Recovery flashing can BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!
Lol, don't screem at him, but it definately is a helluvalot safer to use fastboot.
Hey all. I just have a quick question regarding flashing another SPL. While rooting, I was stupid enough to flash the HardSPL instead of the more used Danger or EngineeringSPL's. Now I'd like to "upgrade" my SPL to one of these two. Currently I'm using RA's 1.6.2 recovery (I know I'll probably have to upgrade that one), and I have the current radio.
What would be the quickest and easiest way to get a new SPL from this point?
What do u mean current radio. U need to post your fastboot info for help on that
Sent from my HTC Magic SparksMod using XDA App
SPL: 10.95.3000 (HardSPL)
Radio: 2.22.23.02 (current)
Yeah, that's the current Radio for US T-Mobile G1. I'm using the same Radio with DangerSPL.
The only radio's for the G1 that are compatible with DangerSPL are:
2.22.23.02 T-Mobile / US
2.22.19.26i Non US
3.22.26.17 or 3.22.20.17 Rogers/Orange
Any different radio that's not listed above, will brick your phone if you flash DangerSPL.
U should upgrade to ezterry's radio/split. Just a suggestion
