Hi, i recently flashed my Rogers Post 911 updated Dream/G1 to CyanogenMod's 5.0.8 and then i tried to flash the new android 2.2(froyo) but it always get stuck on the ROGERS logo after flashing. What am i doing wrong?
Phone:
G1/Dream
Rogers Post 911 update
32B
3.22.26.17
upgraded from 1.6 to 2.1(CM 5.0.8)
How i tried to flash to Android 2.2:
-boot into Recovery(home+power)
-wipe (all 5 wipes)
-partitioned SD card (32/512/rest)
-flash from zip
i tried these roms(from The Rom Bible) with no success (stuck at ROGERS screen after flashing and reboot):
-SpeedTeam Froyo
-SuperFroyo
i really want Superatmel's rom since ill be able to use Supsetup V6 which looks awesome since it can control swap and a whole bunch of other stuff. SuperUser on CM's rom doesnt do anything the App list is empty too.
anyone?? is it b/c i forgot to do a 'fastboot wipe system -w' thing?
By the 3.x radio version you are using you need to make sure the ROM is EBI1 compatible, or has an EBI1 kernel available you can flash after the ROM.
when i installed cm5.0.8 i flashed the bc-5.0.8-ebi1-signed.zip after the ROM.
if i flash the bc-6.00-ebi1.zip after flashing any of the CM6.00 or superfroyo fastfroyo ROMs, would it work??

Most kernels will only work on the specific mod they were intended for, in this case CM6. Since the other ones are based off that one it might work, but I wouldn't count on it. Try it with CM6 first and make sure that works then experiment. Just remember you have to re-flash the kernel after every new ROM flash.
ok i figured it out.
first i did a 'fastboot erase system -w" then i downloaded the bc-6.00-ebi1.zip and flashed it after i flashed SuperFroyo.
I didnt know that you have to reflash kernels after u flash a rom.. so if i want to try another froyo rom, im gonna need to flash bc-6.00-ebi1.zip again?

Yeah, either Brian Crook's EBI1 kernel or Pershoot's EBI1 kernel. Sometimes, generic 32a kernels will work too. But honestly, I've only had success with Brian Crook's EBI1 and Pershoot's EBI1. On the CM wiki, the CM6 kernel is something something PURE, but when you check About Phone, it's pershoot's.

Hi xghost. You dont have to update radio to flash desire roms.
You can update it if you want to but remember, flashing the radio is the "only" way to brick your phone. Not a high chance but higher then most other things you can do.

okay thanks...so since it is my first time using the root for nexus one...im going to flash it with 5.0.4.1 do i flash it then flash the ere38 add on that is on the page or???
Hi lads,
here some noob question from a happy nexus one user:
I flashed Cyanogen 5.0.5 yesterday, together with the Radio (i lost 2 kilos during radio flashing hehe), great rom, fast and cool.
I flashed again today, since an update has just been released (Cyanogen 5.0.5.1).
My noob question are:
What does the Amon Ra recovery wipe do?
Should i wipe before going from 5.0.5 to 5.0.5.1 (or in general when updating a rom)?
I had a look inside Cyanogen 5.0.5.1 update.zip, and i realized there's a boot.img file,
is it a bootloader? Does that mean that i just flashed the SPL or the bootloader(taking a chance to brick!!??)
Thank you very much!!!

See here for number 1 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829
2. Generally you don't have to wipe when going to a new version of the same rom. Check OP first post in thread to find out if it requires a wipe or not.
3. No its not a bootloader, no chance of brick. Only way you can brick your phone is flashing a radio or SPL.

Thanks for the answer!!!
Another question arise though...What's that boot.img file inside the Cyanogen update.zip???
And also, is there any clear architecture doc to realize how nexus one boots and which modules are involved and in which order? (like bootloader-->SPL-->Radio-->Kernel)
Love this forum!!!
Okay... I bought a gently used N1 and the previous owner has it Rooted and flashed to FroYo... I am wanting to try out CM5.0.8t5, but I can't find any directions for going from 2.2 back to CM.
What are the steps I need to switch over? Thanks in advance!
just flash it man - maybe change the radio to the old one.
Damnit... I thought I was posting in Q&A... that's what I get for having too many windows open at the same time. Thanks for moving it.
wipe, flash CM, flash GAPPS....... Froyo radio works on CM5.0.6Test now
So... next question... does Adobe Flash 10.1 work on CM?
No the flash does not work on CM 5.0.8 t5. Since the new CM uses the foryo radio just download the the rom. wipe everything and flash away.
I was looking through the wiki on installing CyanogenMod and I noticed that you're supposed to flash a radio on your phone in the guide. Do I have to do this in ClockworkMod? I used regaw's hero rooter to root my hero, and it flashed Clockworkmod for me.
My baseband is currently 2.42.01.04.27, the one the guide mentioned is 2.42.02.10.29.
Does it matter if I flash a new radio to go along with this or can I just stick with the one I'm on now?

I don't actually know if you need to flash the radio, but if the wiki said so, you should. I've had that .29 radio since it came out, and the best info I can tell you is that the new radio gave me much better reception and therefore better battery life. Yes you can flash it in recovery, assuming you have the flashable zip, it shouldn't matter what recovery you have.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the newest CM7 and aospCMod do not support anything but the newest .29 radio. And as posted above, it will likely improve your signal, so upgrading would be beneficial anyway. Yes you should be able to flash it from any recovery.
Here's the post that contains the download for the newest .29 radio:

I have been trying to flash the CM7 Rom to my G1 and continue to get the same error messages... I tried uploading a pic but the app wouldn't let me, so I will try and get the pic posted asap

what is your radio/spl?
also have you flashed many other roms before?
Please using following combination for Radio and SPL. Also note, flash radio first and then SPL otherwise G1 will not boot. Also make sure you have Clockworkmod recovery for CM7. This recovery helps for smooth flashing for CM7.
update_2.22.28.25_S - Radio
hboot0013d-signed - SPL

OK, this might be sorta a strange question, but this looks to be the best place to ask it.
Will the Dream be bootable if you flash only the Radio and SPL, leaving untouched the stock Android 1.6?
While I am a Linux geek, I am new to android and prefer to take things one step at a time. That explains why I have a Rooted dream with Amon RA with the stock 1.6 backed up with nandroid.

never tried, theoretically it should be as if you did a factory reset and you would just use your recovery to replace anything lost. but if you want to be safe maybe someone who has will chime in.
besides the point go ahead and flash a new rom, even if you stick with 1.6 firmware the developers have come out with much superior roms over the stock android. if you want only 1.6 try super d or super csdi
ok so i decided to test this out, updating a g1 to the 2708+ radio/spl and not flashing a new rom -------- stuck on g1 boot screen, hit call+menu+power then hit home to reboot to recovery, reflashed rom and gapps, rebooted, now everything is good as can be, so to answer your question --- yes it appears you need to flash a rom after you update your radio/spl
