First: Search, if you cannot find after at least 5 minutes of search, then you're allowed to start a new thread.
Its annoying to answer questions that people have answered hundreds of times on these forums.
Anyways, to check, turn off your phone, then hold down the camera button as you press the power button, a tri-color screen will popup and on the top it will tell you which SPL you have. If you have the: HBOOT 1.33.2005 SPL then that's the new one.

changed what?
And you need to read the guide to updating to the new SPL... there are dangers to it that you need to be aware of.
Req's:
The newest radio, make sure everything is the same, I've seen a similar version with one letter different that could brick your phone if you use it.
A PVT board which you said you have.

Also after flashing the new spl your phone will not boot so you will need to take your card out and put it in a card reader and load your rom up that way and flash again. The new spl overwrites your existing rom.

Help flashing SPL, Radio and a Hero ROM to a HTC Dream?

Hey all,
I have a HTC Dream that has the following setup:
"Android on Skateboards" SPL
Maxishma's OS Build (4/Aug/09)
512MB Apps2SD EXT2 Partition
32MB Swap Partition
I'm thinking of installing this build on my HTC Dream, but it says something about needing a new SPL and Radio. I didn't want to risk bricking my phone, so I wanted to ask the community first.
On bootloader mode, I get the following:
DREA110 PVT 32B
HSPL10.95.3000
CPLD-4
RADIO-1.22.12.29
Oct 20 2008
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In the radio and SPL flashing guide, it said something about it having to be DREA100 or something. I wasn't sure.
Could someone please guide me the steps? I'm eager to try some of the Hero builds, and I'm just wanting to play it safe and not end up with a brick.
Thanks in advance,
Coburn64.

you have a pvt board so you should be good as long as you follow directions and FLASH RADIO BEFORE SPL. mayble one more time for the people in the brick seats. thats radio before the spl. but i digress. you should be all set as far as phone requirements. just make sure to read up on it so that you know all the steps and you to can run hero.

Yep just like David said your phone meets the requirements but read and reread before you do anything. Radio first then spl. And after you load spl you will have to flash a new rom cause the spl overwrites your existing rom. Just to let you know so your not freaked out.

Thanks for all the tips and info! I'll try this tonight and report back with any problems.
I've done a nandroid backup as well, does it save all your emails/contacts, etc?
Thanks again.

Nand saves your exact image including emails/contacts/messages?app settings. It will not save anything that's on your SD card so if you format your card you will need to re-download everything.
Good luck

Before I brick ANOTHER Rogers Dream someone give me a hand please.

Okay, I bricked my first Rogers HTC dream because I thought it froze during a reboot after I updated the ROM so I pulled out the battery... sure enough I didn't wait long enough and that phone is no more. I am in the US on AT&T and wanted to take advantage of 3G.
Basically I would like to know the correct procedure before going any further.
I'm following this:
[HOWTO] Root, Hack, Flash G1/Dream - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553416
To use this:

So far all I did was download ASTRO, Backup Recovery Image, and then Flashed to RAv1.2.1G.img. After I rebooted while holding Home+Power it stopped at the "ROGERS" screen and my heart stopped. I thought I bricked my phone again. After pulling out the battery and rebooting without trying to get into recovery it booted up fine. So before I go any further what should I or shouldn't be doing. As of right now my phone works fine and will boot up fine and boot into the HBOOT screen but it will NOT boot into recovery, it will just say rogers.
Here is what the HBOOT screen says:

hi.
i think its the spl that prevent you from booting, try updating your radio version to the compatible one and update to hspl.Make sure your radio version is the right one
HBOOT-1.33.0010 is the so called "perfected" spl

Now this is for the normal T-Mobile G1 but when you flash a radio you should ALWAYS flash the spl first. So I'm assuming that you have to do the same with a rogers though. I'm jealous I wish I had a rogers G1 so I can use 3G =[

NO the radio should always be flashed first. the .2005 spl will brick a g1 with the wrong radio.
however, the .2005 spl is safe with ALL roger dreams.
IIRC, rogers needs the .2005 to begin the rooting procedure.
you need to get that or use a proper 1-click that will work on your phone

Need some help please

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 !

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?

[Q] No recov, No fastboot, but I have OS

I have a Rogers Dream/G1 with T-Mobile rc29 rom (doh!), which works and is usable but I want to get back to CM5. Please show me the way or put me out of my misery if its hopeless.
Recovery hangs at Tmobile G1 screen.
Fastboot gives me "00028002 Not Allow" code then is stuck with serial0.

Tried Adb to get amon-ra 1.7.0, but still won't boot into recovery and is stuck at G1 screen. No memory error, just an immediate echo of the "flash_image recovery data/local/recovery.img" command after I hit enter.
fastboot won't show my device in cmd when at the 4colored screen but adb does recognize.
I'm pretty sure I mixed up the radio and spl, but does having access to the OS give me any options?
Please, point me in the right direction.
****SOLVED**** see Post#20 for my conclusion.

Download clockwork recovery, flash clockwork, then you'll have recovery?
Not sure tho, I think this was how I did it.

I think what you're talking about is ROM Manager, it includes Clockwork Recovery if I understand the dev's description correctly. I haven't tried it myself though.

Seems to me, that he is on a stock ROM and doesn't have root access.
If the phone is booting, a chance could be, to install 1-click-root (don't know how it is called exactly, but you can google for it) and then from there to install a custom recovery. After that, you can install CM5 or something else. Probably first I would install is an engineering SPL (1.33.2003 for example) which supports fastboot. With your current SPL you will not have a chance to get fastboot running.
But be careful: 1.33.2003 supports only radio version 1.x and 2.x. I am not sure if 1.33.2003 is the best solution for you, because you have a rogers dream.

i recomend the old way.. get the fflashrecapk. and use io file manager to flash it.. only problem is you need to be 1.5 if your on 1.6 than you need to downgrade.. but that would be difficult since you have no recovery lol

While a bit more work.. before all the how to's confuse you into bricking your phone, I'd make yourself a gold card, and use it to flash the orange nbh from the 2708+ thread.. (rename to DREAIMG.nbh and place on the goldcard, then boot with camera+power it will ask you to flash it)
Once you have the orange rom you will have fastboot and a 2.x radio.. if you don't need the 3.22 radio .. just flash the 2708+ radio+spl+hboot as per normal followed by a rom.. if you do need the 3.22 radio (rogers customer who has not signed the wavier and wishes to keep data) either flash the rogers e911 update and re-root or 1.33.2005+3.22.26.17 and a rom
Sorry lack of links.

is it rooted?
maybe you can flash the recovery through terminal

Thanks for the replies, lots to research.
I'v tried a bunch of rooting methods.
exploid pushed from ADB said it worked (but didnt)
SuperOneClick said it worked after some rapid OFF-ON-OFF-ON debugging(but didnt install superuser even after reboot)

ok ummm wow you did a lot lol are you sure you did the flaskrec.apk thing right? so as of right now your phone is not rooted? and you are on 1.0? if thats the case you should get automatic updates and hopefully that could help you.. if not try downloading rom manager than flash the clockwork recovery.. personally i hate clockwork but if you can get that to work than i could help you get back to RA if you would like..

Well its a one-click solution, I must have missed the options... I installed it and ran the back up, but the "download" button was grayed out. was I supposed to do something with the entry field?
Rom Manager gives me "Application install unsuccessful" using AndExplorer and I think Clockwork gave me this problem in the first place back when I was using CM6.

you will need to do some research into goldcards and finding the orange.nbh link

for the record
1.33.2003 is compatible with 1.x and 2.x radios but will brick with 3.x
1.33.2005 is compatible with 2.x and 3.x radios but will brick with 1.x
so 1.33.200* is only compatible with 2.x
read Ezterry's 2708 post, the answers you seek are in it

sorry for delay lol but with the flashrec file wat you do is press backup than when your typing in the box you have to put exactly what your file says...
ex.. sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.0.7-cyan.img (yours could be diff but make sure you type exactly what your file says that you placed on sd card) hope it helps

Why ebi1 is equivalent to the old ebi0 and you loose the extra ram.

Best stay as is or upgrade the radio to 2.22.28.25.. As it has been distributed world wide. (Including to all locations 2.22.27.08 was previously distributed)

what did you do?
I would like to know if you solved this issue as mine is similar. I DO have root though, but i have no recov/fastboot. I am using a dev phone though.
ps, grats on getting it working

If you flashed 0.95.0000 you are no longer using a dev phone (what do you see when you boot holding camera?)
The good news is that the ADP1 used the universal CID (11111111) and is thus not restricted to a particular carriers nbh file.. so you can probably just flash the orange nbh without the goldcard [just renamed DREAIMG.nbh on the root of your SDCard], then follow the 2708+ radio instructions.. or install 1.33.2003/5 via fastboot if you need the old radio.
The reason I'm pointing to the orange nbh is it will let you bypass the whole "I bricked my phone because I insisted on flashing death SPL via recovery" since you have an engineering SPL and 2.x radio after flashing that orange NBH from the 2708+ thread.

This is what worked for me, going from:
- a non responsive recovery
- OS locked at activation, so no usb debugging
- OS refused to root
- quadicolored fastboot screen that wouldnt recognize usb
To CM5 2708+ with RA-cyan1.7.
Before this thread I had to use this to get post the verizon data plan only activation to enable usb debugging.
Made a goldcard
Put the orange nbh renamed to DREAIMG.nbh (can't remember where i got it from, just searched) on the goldcard, Booted with camera+power to get fastboot, and applied the update.
Followed ezterry's post and at step 5 flipped over to this post on CM5 2708+
Now I'm gonna update the radio using exterry's advanced zips. Thanks again everyone, another successful thread.
