Have questions can anyone help?

I am running JF 1.51 with app2sd. I am really wanting to try the magic rom. I have the latest radio that was required to update to cupcake. I am nervous about updating the SPL because I accidently install the radio twice on my last G1 and it fried it. Is it worth the switch? If so how do I change from JF and then go to the Hero rom? I have found some stuff but nothing on switching SPL from JF to any other without bricking my phone.
Thanks in advance....

Sorry not magic rom HERO ROM.

Make sure your phone has the PVT board (it will tell you in your current SPL screen). If you do, I recommend this post:

I followed to a "T" without any problems.
Good luck and a little positive energy toward your fone never hurt You will need the newest SPL to load HERO due to the size of the ROM. I know some people have piece-mealed their on HERO builds making them smaller than the orig Haykuro one, but I think they all still require the newest SPL. Just remember, more than just a couple of people have bricked their fones flashing this SPL...
Aloha-

That just seems odd to me I am not sure... So I should have JF 1.51 on one card and the SPL on the other? Which goes in first. I have the JF boot loader now. How do you know what SPL you have? Can I update from one to the other without bricking?

Hold camera then power and the SPL screen will come up and tell u what version u have (if it's rainbow screen you are still on stock). There are many threads dealing with flashing the SPL. Check Haykuro's blog also. I don't want to give some information and someone have bad results. So I recommend reading all that u can before you try.

These are a good place to start. U might need dig around a little, and I recommend reading a lot. Don't try it if you're not comfortable.

Ok thanks I will do some more reading... I have stock then... When i rooted it it was the rainbow... Thanks again.

Ok Want to check to make sure...
This iis what I got on the Rainbow screen...

HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
Radio-2.22.19.26i
So I should be able to follow that first tutorial you sent becuase I take it that this is a PVT board.

One last thing If I do update the SPL can I stay with JF builds if I decide too?

Anyone? I have been searching and I can not figure out some answers. Like if I do not want to update to hero now and stay with JF can I? Or if I do in the 2 card tutorial on updating SPL can I have hero already or since I am on JF 1.51 now do I have to stay with it then after done wipe then install hero rom?

Changing the SPL will not limit you to a specific ROM so you should be able to run Haykuro's 1.5, JF's 1.5 (including all variations) as well as HERO etc... Some ROM's larger size necessitate the use of the newer SPL because it's smaller (the SPL that is). Also need to remember that once you commit to the new SPL, you cannot downgrade the radio as per Haykuro. Be careful moving from the stock SPL to the newest one. I'm not sure if there could be any problems, you might search for something related to that subject. Also, what's really great about using non-stock SPL's is that they allow the use of fastboot to reflash the .img's created by the Recovery console. Which means once you have a good stable ROM on your fone, you back it up and play with your fone all u want (pretty much) knowing that u can go right back to the "good" build you backed using just 3 simple commands from fastboot. Good luck.

help laggy cyanogenmod flash

I just rooted my phone this afternoon but im new
and still confused about most things.
I rooted my phone by downgrading to 1.5 and
now im running 1.6 with cyanogenmod 4.2.1 but
it doesnt seem to be very fast, its quite slow and
laggy and im wondering why that is.
recovery 1.4 i think.
kernal 2.6.29.6cm42
drc83
dont know what other info might be important.
Some games that didnt lag before lag now like armoured strike online, it can barely start and force closes alot.
also what is a newer version that is built around
android 2.0, is quite fast,looks good and doesnt
need the danger spl.
Im on a unlocked g1 in the uk

I have the same phone.
First of all, I think the phone is outdated. you need to update to cyanogen 5.0.8. BUT!!!!!!!!!!! very important "but" don't forget to flash the radios first OR YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE. There are a couple of ROMs I believe you might find that don't require danger SPL, but you'd only be doing yourself good if you flashed it.
There are plenty of tutorials on xda that you may follow to get this done.
Don't worry, I'm a noob as well and as long as you follow all the steps accurately, you won't hit a hitch. I haven't yet.

Yes, if it says 1.33.2005 (DREA10000) then you have the Danger SPL

I have a major problem with my rooted G1. Rom's don't work

I have a rooted G1 and installed the latest CM6 but it completely messed up the phone. ADW force closes and I can't open anything. I can't use Wi-fi because it gives me an error, I don't have data on the phone so I can't install anything from Rom Manager either. I used Superwipe and tried to install some ROM's but it keeps saying that the process has been aborted. The only rom it will let me install is the CM6 that is broken as hell. What can I do? I don't know what's wrong with the thing. And like an idiot, I didn't make a back up.

What SPL/hboot do you have? I thought that CM6 required a different SPL?

I don't know what an SPL is. How do I check which hboot I have? I can still go into recovery, but the phone was already rooted when I bought it and had CM4 or whatever.

Turn the phone off, hold down the camera button, and the press power (camera+power). There should be some numbers at the top of the screen. That will contain your hboot version.

Also, FYI! CM6 might not be a good ROM to use. Those are the symtom that happens to me. And don't even try using ROM Manager on it, it could give you a soft brick.
Suggestion to use one of the ROM here at XDA, there are GB, Froyo, ASOP with different build.
And recommending updating your SPL/HBOOT to 0013d, and your radio to either 27.08 or 28.25. Since most of the new ROM required those. Make sure you do radio then SPL, or you could brick your G1.

This is exactly what I see:

I've tried installing the ROM's from here but it keeps saying "Installation Aborted" and won't let my install ANY room not even the original CM4. Ok after applying the update (from holding the camera button+power) it installed the original android OS that came with it. Now, knowing the information I gave you above, what is the best ROM I can install and what are some steps I need to take to ensure that it will install properly? What do I need to do first? Everything in this section is a little wish washy and kind of hard to find.

There are requirements for the ROMs and most if not all of them required current radio/SPL as I mentioned.
Here is the instruction from ezTerry's 2708+ enabled kernel [14MB ram with radio 2.22.27.08/2.22.28.25 & hboot 1.33.0013d]

Cant restart G1 without reapplying ROM

My G1 is being a REAL B*TCH!
Firstly, the root method I followed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098899
I've loaded the CM, FBL, FCS and GS roms and each ends about the same way...first boot always goes right to the android and the login and what-not.
However, restart my device and it hangs on the G1 splash screen. What gives?
I'm tired of having to reflash a ROM every time I need to reboot.

power on holding camera or back - write down everything it says. you have amon ra recovery correct?

Yes I was running running amon ra recovery, but I guess we'll never know since I've already rolled it back to 1.6, I'll try again and see what happens.

Restored to 1.0, update to 1.5...pretty much the entire procedure over again, plus the FCS ROM install followed to a t. Same exact problem. Here's what it says:

Is the G1 splash screen supposed to be there for like...15 mins?
At this point I know I didn't miss it twice.

Must be a curropt emmc, not too common on a g1. Either that or something very strange is going on that I'm missing here. It could be some setting that is anabled on boot such as some overclocking. Sorry I'm not going to be much more help other that suggesting a 1.6 rom say super d and stick with just the danger spl and radio. Worth a shot?

Self-rebooting ROM's and solving it with an older ROM.

Hi all,
Since a view month i have an HTC Dream G1. I have bought it second hand aleady rooted.
It had Hero ROM on it. And it was awfully slow. So i have looked around and found an ROM (froyobylazslo) that supposed to be good combination of recent and pretty good working (ok speed) ROM. But it was still rebooting sometimes. So i looked around once more trying to find older ROM so that it would work faster and stabler. And came across ginger yoshi. Tryed it to. And it rebooted to sometimes. I also had downloaded older cyanogen builds. 4 and 5 but they dont boot up at all. Maybe it has something to do with the radio that i have on it or something.
Here are the things like radio and spl that i have on it:

Any suggestions how i can get back to some older ROM? I guess it has no sence to unroot the phone to be able to do it? And i guess i just need some good radio version that would be compatible with and older ROM? Any Donut / or maybe Eclair stable ROM u can suggest i can install? Or what do i have to do to be able to install CM 4 or 5 on it?
Thanks in advance,
Nikolai

you have a ram hack created by your spl(1.33.0013d)
older roms will need a custom kernel flashed above them.
try searching for super e -- download this one
now search in the developers forum for ezterrys thread on the 2708+ update
here you will understand what you have and why you dont want to get rid of it (dont unroot or change radio/spl)
you will also find kernels that can be flashed over older roms
try the biffmodtestkernel
i feel you should be happy after this

basically this 2708+ thing i did myself, because fbl needed that. (it had something else before) But i dont clearly remember what it was again. ill check the super e (i think this is not the first time i hear about that).
cheers
