hello, I made the following steps: (I try to flash Jachero 2.3.5)
1) Install RC29
2) Install recovery image 1.3.1
3) Flash latest radio: ota-radio 2.22.19.2.6I
4) Flash latest spl: 1.33.2005
... and when I try to reboot, the phone stay stuck in the G1 screen.
What I'm doing wrong ?
Do you have root? If you do which im hoping is true try reformating your sd card cuz sometimes whenyou flash different roms some of the old stuff stays even after reflashing
hope that helps
you might have a brick, after flashing the SPL you are supposed to have another sd card with another ROM(or the same ROM) on it to reflash, if not you can get a brick
Sounds like you just need to reload your rom on. Once you flash the spl you need to reflash your rom otherwise you will be stuck at the g1 screen due to the fact you don't have a rom loaded on your phone because the spl update overwrites your rom.
It's Normal, i went through the same thing. After installing the SPL you have to re flash your ROM. im no expert but what i did was:
Note: i added the cyanogen recovery image 1.3.1 and also i have ROOT,
I had Cyanogen 3.6 rom so i flashed the radio then spl. and got the g1 screen.
then i flashed 3.6 rom on again. (turn on phone with power+home, alt+w to wipe, alt+s to install)
After it loaded the cyanogen 3.6 so i checked the settings to make sure i had the right spl and radio. and then i just flashed the JACHero rom. just like i did with the Cyanogen rom.
Probably dont have to reflash the cyanogen rom i was just being careful.
Just mount your sdcard in recovery. Boot into recovery and press alt+x. Now type:
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
Remove the update.zip,and place your ROM of choice on the sdcard. Rename it to update.zip. In recovery console type "reboot recovery". Now wipe and flash away =]
Hi,
I tried flashing the brand new CyanogenMod 5 with Eclair for G1, and I seem to be in "serious" trouble now.
Before flashing:
I had already installed DangerSPL for a few months with no issue
Had the latest radio
Was happily running SuperD1.9.3 with WG Kernel and JIT enabled
Made a Nandroid backup just in case I wished to go back
Wiped Dalvik-cache and Data/Cache to avoid boot loops
All of this with Cyan's Recovery 1.4.
After flashing the ROM and the Gapps, my phone restarted and got stuck on the G1 screen (no boot screen) for, maybe 15 to 30 minutes, which seemed a bit long for me... I finally decided to remove the battery, went back to recovery and made a Nand restore.
But after the restore, rebooting had the same effect : stuck on G1 screen.
I tried flashing several custom roms with no luck (all stuck on G1 screen).
I finally decided to flash the official ADP1.6 ROM from HTC (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip) which installed fine (and updated the radio by the way), and it finally booted on stock Donut.
I tried then to reinstall custom roms but get stuck on G1 screen everytime I try... and flashing Amon_RA's recovery won't work (i keep booting on the stock recovery). But as a workaround, I can use fastboot to boot into Amon_Ra's recovery.
The questions now are :
did I lose root access, thus preventing from installing custom ROMs ?
if so, is it possible to downgrade while being under DangerSPL ? Won't it brick the phone ?
Is there anybody else who had the same problem with upgrading to Cyan's 5 ?
I really need to get custom roms back, stock sucks on G1... but there is no way i can afford bricking my phone.
Thanks for help guys!!
As long you can get to your custom recovery menu, you still have root access.
Keep the Danger SPL, not worth changing it and the Danger SPL has fastboot also.
It takes a while to boot into a newly flashed ROM so just wait 5-15 min.
Do these steps:
1)Do a FULL WIPE of the phone (data, dalvik-cache, ext, battery stats, and rotation ****You won't have some of these options with Cyanogen's recovery. Just wipe what you can****)
2)Repair the ext partition
3)Flash CyanogenMod 5.0.7-DS-Test 1 (this is the g1/mt3g version)
4)Without wiping or rebooting, flash the gapps .zip file
5)Reboot and set up the ROM
6)Flash the latest Amon_RA recovery for your device. Cyanogen uses Amon-RA's recovery now.
1. Upgrade your recovery....cyanogen stopped working on his a while ago, upgrade to Amon_RA's recovery.
2. You only have to wipe data/dalvik, and maybe sd-ext. you do NOT have to wipe battery stats or rotation EVER.
3. Flash CM Rom
4. Flash gapps
Unfortunately, exact same thing.
Stuck on G1 screen.
Reverted back again to adp 1.6
Any other suggestions ?

Give us your spl (hboot) and radio. Go into fastboot and type exactly what you see.

Try upgrading your radio? You shouldn't HAVE to, but it might work.
Are you on Amon_RA's recovery now?
I'll try upgrading radio, but it's weird I can't switch back to other custom donut builds...
I've used Amon-RA's recovery to wipe and install the ROM this time.
For some odd reason though, it seems i can't "install" Amon_RA recovery (it seems to switch back to stock recovery), but just boot it through fastboot...

make sure you're flashing the right recovery. dream still has two options. just like mytouch has H or G.
the one with "R" on the end of it is for rogers, one without it is for USA ones.
What files are you flashing? It sounds like you're flashing an old 1.6 base that has a recovery image included. Are you flashing the DRC83 Defanged as a base?
OK so I tried to take a fresh start on this.
I installed Amon_RA's 1.6.2 as recovery (not the Roger's one, I'm in France and the US tools always worked)
did a nandroid backup to stop reinstalling everything over again each time I want to make a phone call...
used it to repartition the SD (FAT / EXT2 / SWAP), thus formatting everything
wiped everything (except battery and orientation)
Flashed DRC83 Defranged
Without rebooting flashed CM5.0.7-t1
Without rebooting flashed Gapps
And it still gets stuck on the first boot screen (left it for about 20mn on it)...
Then I tried installing DRC83 defranged and it still gets stuck on the damned boot screen !!!
Through adb I can get to shell while on recovery, but the su command prints out :
/sbin/sh: su: not found
Is it normal ?
I can't find the /proc/last_kmsg file (just /proc/kmsg). Is there any log file that could help here ?
I'm going to nand back to stock 1.6, hoping it will start without having to flash the radio+recovery one again...
I noticed something weird when i nand back to my pre-CM5 WG-SuperD backup :
when it boots, it gets to the first boot screen and if USB is connected, i get a "fastboot usb" in a red box on top left of the screen.
To sum up :
phone's definitely not bricked, but won't run any custom rom anymore, but it still permits custom recovery installation/boot.
Something must have been broken/deleted somewhere.
Still asking the (dumb?) question : do I still have root, since su doesn't works (even using terminal server) ?
By the way, I really appreciate you guys taking time to read and answer my posts. Really

I run into the same issue, I was upgrading from the latest cm 1.6 and after trying a few different things, after wiping with alt+w, I reinstalled danger-spl then installed the cm update, then the google apps; after doing this, it worked fine. BTW, it took about 15 mins to boot up though.

There is your problem. DO NOT FLASH THE DRC83 BASE!!!
Just repartition your sdcard (if you want to), upgrade to ext3 or ext4, then follow the last 2 steps.
Hi UberMario,
I just reinstalled DangerSPL using Amon_ra's recovery, and then directly flashed CM5 + Gapps (no reboot inbetween).
It's been stuck on the 1st splash screen for 30 minutes now...
I'm letting it for another 30mn (although I think it's useless) and will eventually revert back to stock 1.6... again...
I just don't get what's wrong...
I'm going to try redownloading the archives in case they would've been corrupted, but being unable to install anything else than an official htc firmware seems like a symptom to me... isn't it ?

I'm not sure if this will make a difference, but flash Gapps first then flash CM5 then reboot and everything should work...
or
You might want to check and make sure your MD5 is correct too..
why would you flash gapps first? you have to flash it on top of cm5.
Yeah... quite sure this won't help.
What could prevent the phone from booting custom firmwares but still allowing to install them ? (and finally I can still run the su command through adb, and get root access, but apps can't get root...)

I rooted my G1 for the first time. I flashed CM 5.0.7 then GApps (no reboot in between). When the phone booted, none of the Google Apps were on the phone. Went back to recovery and did a wipe and flashed GApps then CM (no reboot) and everything installed correctly. Someone said to flash CM first then GApps, but that didn't work for me. Weird.
Hi,
I recently bought a brand new Nexus One in the Netherlands, Tried it for a while in stock mode and decided that i didn't like the interface without Sense. So i wanted to flash the new desire build to it.
I Rooted my N1 with 1 click root (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598) and then installed the rom-manager app from the market.
I installed the Clockwork recovery from the rom-manager app.
Then decided to first upgrade the radio to the korean version (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723839) using update.zip from the SD-card and the recovery menu..
This all worked like a charm. Booted my N1 and checked the new radio image and everything was fine..
Of course i still had to flash a new rom so i once again prepared an update.zip with the new CM6 mod. And entered the bootloader to go back to recovery menu. and that is when the sh*t hit the fan.. Couldn't boot recovery anymore..
I then tried a normal boot and no luck either...
since i could still enter fastboot i unlocked my phone (thought that was the problem (i know stupid but hey..)) and flashed everything back to stock. or at least V2.1 system image..
No luck either. no boot no recovery...
I finally managed to boot my phone when i installed the last cyan bootloader but now my SD-Card, and USB don't work anymore (USB still works in the bootloader)
Now i'am really out of options, the korean radio flashed my hboot to v0.35 which ensures that i can't flash any other system roms. I can't access my phone thru USD or SD card while booted so i can't revert my Hboot.
The only thing i could still think of is perhaps a full system.img of V2.2 but i can't find that anywhere only updates wich i can't install cause my recovery does not work and my SD card does not work
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks Laurens

So.. your phone isnt able to boot?
Are you able to use fastboot?
If so, you can try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850
This is all fastboot. This will take you to EPE76. then just download the FRF85B update. After that FRF91 should download from system updates.

yeah i am able to use fastboot.. and i did try the thread you suggested.. but i couldn't boot my phone with the stock software.. if i replaced the boot with the last one from cyan it did boot but i am not able to use my USB connection and SD-card in EPE76..
Hi am a newbie here.i have read many guides here and form cyanogen and addictivetips on flashing custom recovery image on T-Mobile G1,DMD64,Donut..i have tried ROM Manager,Fastboot and ADB but still i get errors.what can i do ?
is your phone rooted? what errors?
Well first you need root. I was lazy and used this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598) app to get root. Then I followed the CyanogenMod wiki (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/) to get the Recovery, Radio, SPL, then ROM flashed and now I'm running CM 6.1.

Hi there. I just got my G1 as a backup phone, and I am having issues with flashing CWM. When I flash it, I choose "HTC Dream", and it flashes successfully. However, when I try to boot into CWM, it will just hang at the G1 splashscreen. I have noticed Amon_RA recovery works fine, but the ROM I want to use (COS-DS) is recommended to be flashed with CWM. I have tried formatting the SD card and reflashing already (many times). I also tried the experimental versions of CWM but they will not flash at all. If it helps, my buddy installed SuperD (a donut ROM) on this G1 before he gave it to me.
My G1 is a 32B PVT device, with the Engineering S-OFF, HBOOT 1.33.2005 (DREA10000), Radio 2.22.23.02, and CPLD-4.

From my experience with ROM Manager/ClockworkMod. The recovery do not work well. I recommended that you stay away from it.
Amon RA works fine without CWM.
I had the same problem when I first started flashing ROM. My big mistake was to start using it. Took me about a few months to realize that it does not work well and it will hang at the G1 screen.
Now I see that they still have not fix this problem. LOL!

I agree!! 100% CWM doesnt work as well as RA and personally that COS-DS rom isn't that great... froyobylazslo is way better!!! but if you really want cwm that just downlaod "rom manager" from the market and apply/flash cwm through there... very simple

If you already installed Amon RA, then I would recommend uninstalling CWM. Then you should be able to get into the Recovery Mode.
If you have not, I suggested that you do. Then uninstall the CWM.
It is not that hard to boot into Amon RA recovery and do what you need to do. I found out that it is easier than trying to use ROM Manager/CWM.
Also, you might want to try different ROM (IE: froyobylazslo, gengerbread yoshi, or even SuperAosp) if you are so incline to use CWM.
