I've got a few questions, hope no one minds answering. If it's a simple case of RTFM then lock the thread and trash.
1. I've rooted and am using the latest JF build but when I go to telnet I can't connect to localhost anymore. Is this normal?
2. I'm running stock SPL and Radio (not too sure what the radio is btw). Is it best I update before flashing anymore roms?
3. I'm wanting to flash to Cyanogen Mod rom, it looks a lot more complex than simply renaming the rom to update.zip then flashing. Is it safe to assume that there is a lot more work to do? (if so a general point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated).
I really appreciate any help.
Thanks
1. I'm not sure as it has been some time since I last used JF's build I'm afriad...
2. Its advisable at the very least to upgrade your radio (look at my signature for a link). You can upgrade your SPL too providing you have flashed the latest radio FIRST and that you are on a PVT motherboard.
Boot into the SPL to find that out (turn off/reboot the mobile, Hold CAMERA+POWER). It should say at the top.
3. To use Cyanogen's ROM its like flashing any other ROM. Just make sure you have the latest Radio FIRST. Also I believe it works fine for non Apps2SD users so no need to partition your SD card etc to use it.
Hope that helps.
Stock SPL? do you mean HARDSpL?

Unless it was updated while rooting it's probably "G1 Original SPL"
Thanks NeoBlade, I'll update the radio and spl tomorrow then probably try and get nandroid running so I've got a backup in case anything goes wrong.
No worries digital, just do your usual pre-checks before flashing the SPL and remember Radio first ^_-
You'll enjoy the new features and performance improvements using the latest cooked ROMs out there. Most of the info is in my signature but you can also flash the new Recovery image too by Cyanogen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523558).
Not only can you create a Nandroid backup from there, you can also restore it too all from your mobile ^_^
Not to be an @ssh*le, but if you root your phone don't you already have the HardSPL? If you follow Koush's guide you were told to flash the HardSPL which isn't the stock SPL at all. Care to shed some light on this?
He could have had the engineering SPL, I remember having that briefly myself in the early days. The main thing is that he just wants to run Cyanogen's ROM so as long as he updates the radio and flashes the ROM without issues it should be fine. Unlike some Hero ROMs it doesn't require the latest SPL to create space for the ROM.
Granted though, its often always nice to have the latest stuff ^_-
Ok well if you DECIDE to update to the latest radio and SPL just go to my guide below and go to the second post. That will tell you how to install the radio and spl updates!
Good luck!
Indeed ^_^ And once that's done, perhaps change the title to SOLVED so people know. We shall have to wait for digital to get back to us about it.
This is the guide I used:
http://haykuro.theiphoneproject.org/?page_id=35
Sorry alritewhadeva:
I'm on the HardSPL so I guess I don't need to bother updating that again. I didn't get to the point where it said to update to the newest radio.
Reading a bit further it also says that I can do a backup easily using adb which is already setup. At some point in the process it must have installed the things needed for nandroid backup. I think it was the recovery.img part.
Thanks for the great link Nephron, I used it before to setup adb on my netbook (running win7 on my main machine).
Before I flash the latest radio is it safe to do this *after* updating the spl?
Thanks for all the great help, I really appreciate it.
As a thumb of rule, always flash the radio first before the SPL and the ROM.
Tell us how it goes ^_^ If you've managedto do it, could you please edit the title then to add SOLVED? Good luck.
Soo do you have to flash the radio and SPL everytime you want to flash a rom??? i already have the latest radio, i just want to make sure i dont make a mistake

No you don't. Only once... then kind of keep an eye on the forum to see if better radio or SPL comes along. So far I had to update my radio once. What recovery image do you have (home+power), is it still JF1.43? You should update that to CM 1.4, you get a lot more flexibility with that... read up on it in development forum. All in all, unless you plan to install Hero anytime soon (and I personally don't recommend it, too slow and buggy) you should be good with (in that very order)
1. Flashing newest RADIO (Haykuro has it in the link you provided, only need to do it once and you already did it!)
2. Flashing HardSPL (you already did that too! no need to do it again)
2. Updating your Recovery Image (once more, this only needs to be done once)
After that - flash any rom you feel like at any time you feel like doing it.
Hope that helps, good luck!
I agree with everything borodin1 said. If you're on a 1.5 ROM you really should have the new radio already, but you can always go back and flash it. Afterwards you'll want hard SPL or haykuro's. Haykuro's is what you'll need for most HTC based ROMs (Hero, Rogers). Most people brick when flashing Haykuro's ROM because they don't read. Aslong as you have the new radio and a PVT phone (go to the bootloader - home + camera - and it should say PVT) you will be fine.
I am about to root my phone for the first time. I notice on this thread here that under "Install CyanogenMOD 4.0.1 (Stable)" section it says to install the CyanogenMOD 4.0.1. (stupid question) Can I install the new version the CyanogenMOD v4.0.4 found on this thread instead of the 4.0.1?
Second question.
Back on this Thread here again under the "Flash the New RADIO and SPL" section it states in nice red letters "NOTE: Please read carefully before flashing! This could BRICK your phone!!!". Do i have to install the New Radio and SPL in order to have the full root and features with the said ROM? I really don't want to brick my phone if i can avoid it.

you can flash 4.0.4, that was just the stable build at the time of the threads creation. you do not have to install the new spl to run cyanogen's roms. the new spl is for running hero and other htc based builds. most likely you already have the new radio if you are on cupcake(1.5). any other questions?

if you root by downgrading to rc-29 then you will have to reflash the newest radio bc the DREAIMG.nbh overwrites the radio

is there any other way of rooting besides going down to rc-29 and using DREAIMG.nbh? Or will doing it a different way be an even more pain.

Please help!!! I started messing with my phone about a week ago and I install the Android 1.6 dev. It will not flash anything, not even an spl. What am I missing. I almost feel bad asking because all of you seem to have such knowledge of this stuff. Thank you very much
I don't wanna bring your hopes down thinking this was help lol but u prolly tried flashing cyanogens new rom and its funny cause i was JUST about to post this same shiet. but anyways. i was thinking about flashing the dream file but i dunno if that owuld brick my phone or not. and just to clarify its the htc 1.6 dev right? i mean if thats the only 1? lol
yup
That is exactly what happened! I don't understand how this isn't a major issue and posted everywhere. If you figure it out make sure you let me know and I will do the same. Take it slow!
Can you explain what the problem problem is? What have you been trying to flash? Do you get errors? What recovery image are you using?
Btw, if you're flashing an SPL or radio with Cyans recovery, you can't use the trackball. It must be an update.zip which you install by pressing alt-s and reboot using home+power. If you don't it wont be installed.
Well, I don'tk now about the original poster, but I've tried flashing the OTA cupcake rom to downgrade. renamed to update, went into recovery but it says its not authorized. and.. im afraid to put the dream.nbh or w/e cause it might brick the phone.
PS: This is 1.6 without root. this is the dev ver. so we have the exclamation point recovery not cyan.

okay first you need a app called flashrec it will dl cyan recovery image then you reboot.But you need root first also teh dreaimg.nbh file which is RC29.
1.5 cupcake rc30 or something and up was patched with the one click root, that's why we were trying to downgrade to 1.5..
nothing works
I can't use the flash rec because it won't back up the recovery image! Everything I try to flash just goes to installation aborted! I don't know what to do!
It's b ecause 1.5 rc30+up (including 1.6) patched up the 1 click, but an answer would be nice
flash the dream image and start from scratch. that takes everything back to stock, then you can re-root. This thread can walk you through it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=491350
it doesnt work
I already tryed that but it won't let me flash the spl!
i tried that too
I tried flashin the dreaimg too. I have ran jf1.5 before and flashed themes and everything. That's why I don't understand why I can't flash anything. The 1.6 work but the recovery image isn't letting me flash anything at all! Once I installed the 1.6 dev it flashed me from the 1.4 cyanogen image to the exclamation image with a differnt bootloader. Ever since then I can't flash anything.
i think he means using camera + power unroot it.but im guessing we don't flash the SPL since we can't, we just flash the dream.nbh?
After Factory Reset
Guys,
I did factory reset but now I can not work with HTC dream as it is requesting me to cerate a gmail account, and I can not cerate because I do nto have internet in my mobile operator.
Does anyone knwo how to bypass this mesage?
please help meee.
r,
bhowd u do the factory reset?
I did it!!!
I had to download sdk, get it working, fastboot the the cyanogen 1.4 recovery image. After the it let me install all of my updates. YAAAAYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
could you tell me the steps of what you did?
I'm stuck with ADP1 1.6 ><
Thanks a lot!!
This will work!!!
Trust me this will work because it took me hours to figure out. Install sdk, get it to work. They explain how to use the program on the forum. After you finally get into fastboot flash the cm 1.4 recovery image. After you do that you can bootup into that recovery and it will then read all of your zip files unlike that stupid exclamation recovery.
slightly confused
So you mean you used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010 to figure out how to use the sdk right?
If not, can show me the link to that guide?
Many thanks!!!
yes
Yes, I used the sticky notes at the top of Dream Q&A to figure it out and it wasn't too fun.
I just got a replacement G1 from Tmobile, for free bless their hearts, cause my headset is going to the crapper. I'm trying to update my raido to the 2_22_19_26I, as I did before with my first G1, so I can install the DangerSPL. I have tried with the stock recovery, Cyan's 1.4, and Amon-RA's 1.5.2 to install it, and each time, it goes about the update process as normal, asks me to reboot, I see the picture of the chip and then it takes me back to recovery.
Each time, though, I'm still at the 1_22_12_29. I check by turning on the phone, then Settings --> About Phone, and also by going into the SPL, still at the 1.
Any ideas?
EDIT: also I'm using the radio on HTC's developer website, so it's legit.
Uh, i'm not XDA police but i'm pretty sure this goes in Q&A.
You need a custom recovery before you can even upgrade the radio but are you on 1.5 doing the one-click?

When your in rec mode you must flash the radio while there, i heard the rec gets deleted if you dont update the radio when you install a recovery.
rec mode? please restate what you just said.

The guide says flash the radio while your in recovery mode not after.
i've done the recommended one-click method, even went back and let my phone update itself back up to stock, but i still have radio 1.

Can you load roms since you said you tried recoveries?
I can load everything, ROM's, SPL's, different recoveries, boot.img's.
I've tried updating the radio before I upgrade the SPL, after, with a stock recovery, or with Amon-RA's/Cyanogens. I don't know why it's not working.

Donut roms(1.6) dont need the Haykuro or Hard SPL you can load roms with the one you have now.If you want to use hero or eclair then you'll need the radio and SPL.
Also if the radio is anything like the spl, don't use the trackball while flashing it
Another user and I, have this same issue with no solution, we have threads in dream q&a and dream general. I also used recovery flasher to gain root when I was on cupcake. My radio is older than yours though =/ if you can't find the threads ill post the links tmw, as I'm abt to sleep now..good luck hopefully we can all find a solution, or at least identify the source of the problem..
not sure if this will be of much help, but you can always try to revert back to the stock firmware using the dreaimg.nbh file and stock spl.
i had a friend who, like with your radio, couldn't flash the more recent custom recoveries.
whatever the reason was, i suggested that he just "unroot" and go back to android 1.0, stock spl, stock radio , whatever, and just re-root from there

happy flashing!
I apologize to sound rude, but I've been with XDA and the G1 rooting community since 1.0. I know these are good, helping tips and guides, but I've tried to explain that I've done everything like that already, gone back to stock, gone up to cyan's 4.2.13, gone back to stock, then up to a stock 1.6, even with the stock updates, when it says writing radio, radio doesn't update.
your replies are appreciated, just not really relevant or helpful.
I was setting up a friends g1 and same thing, he got the phone from warranty exchange and I was able to downgrade, gain root, change recovery image and flash enom's rom with no issue. But upon boot up I saw his radio image was .29 and tried to update the radio. I kept getting something like "line 2: getting prop(device = dream)"
So I started all over rc29, root, recovery image and every time I try to update radio, same issue. Even when use Cyan's method and try the developer's image with radio update, it fails.
In the end, since enom's rom can use any radio, he was ok with it. But really i wanted to get his g1 on the latest radio image. I feel your pain as I researched the errors as well and couldn't find anything. Good luck.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm going through, except it's not throwing up any errors or anything. it updates, says "writing radio image...", reboots with the HTC symbol, and goes back to Recovery and Formats the CACHE like always. *sigh* maybe T-mobile found a way to mess with us after all?
Just a question, when u rooted, did u do it the old way or new way. And by old way that I used, was the DREAIMG.nbh, then on home screen the type cd /sdcard blah blah...
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
