Well, I was able to flash the stock rom from O2 and bring the device back to live. Flashed Olinex 1.40 and BsB.
So I must have flashed the wrong HardSPL in the first place...
Hope you know what to do now...

Need help flashing recovery.

I rooted my G1 using the AndRoot app and i can't seem to flash recovery.
I copied recovery.img to my sdcard root, started the terminal emulator and typed in "flash_image recovery/sdcard/recovery.img" but that usually get's me "access denied", sometimes after i press enter or in the middle of typing.
So i tried to to type in "su" before i typed everything else but then the terminal emulator has to force close. I am seriously about to give up on this. I've been doing it since last night. Can someone please help me?
PS: my build number is "DRC83"
well ive never tried to use androot, always just the old fashion way of rooting for me.
which by the way wont take you all night so maybe you could try that?
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Dream:_Rooting
to answer your question you dont seem to have super user permissions so nothing needed su will work
out of curiosity, if your on windows and typing .img at the end of the file dont, just name it recovery
That's the first thing i tried since it's the most fun way to root a phone but i got "not allow" and "serial0" in fastboot.
Yes i'm on windows but i got my extensions showing so that's not the problem.
PS: the goldcard method doesn't work either. Forgot to mention that.
Well let's start from the begining, what's your radio/spl, well go from here

Here's all the info i have in fastboot:
DREA110 PVT 32b
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
Download the dreaming.nbh file and put it on the root of your sd card. Then boot the phone holding the camera button. Your hboot will load the image and flash it to your phone it takes about 5min or so. Once it says complete you @ android 1.0 and will need to sign in. This is easier if you have a data plan if you don't you will need to turn on wifi via adb. Once there download telnet from the market.
When telnet is downloaded, from home screen, open keypad and hit the enter button twice
Then type telnetd
Then hit home and open telnet, hit enter
then type flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
(Forgot to say have the appropriate recovery downloaded to sd card and renamed recovery)
Now you can reboot into recovery holding the home button
You know have amonra and can begin with downloading a new rom, radio, and spl. Start slow here and flash the radio in the cyanogen wiki then danger spl then let's say cyanogen5 - eclaire
Once all this is confirmed working we can move on to the 2708+ radio spl

When i boot it with the camera button i get the "not allow" error and then back to the rainbow screen where it shows "serial0".
Then either there is something wrong with sdcard, the dreaming.nbh image, the way you named the image or you got a bad download. Make sure sd card is fat32 and the dreaming image is a fresh/proper download and you name it dreaming.nbh.
Pay attention to the file extentions dreaming will probably be all you need to name it
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using xda premium
I renamed it from "dreaimg.nbh" to "dreaming.nbh" and i also tried "dreamimg.nbg" but all those 2 gave me was a millisecond of text which i couldn't read.
I'll try a different memory card.
Sorry I misstyped
Dreaming.nbh. or try
Dreaming
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using xda premium
Can it even load it without the .nbh extension?
PS: i tried a different memory card and two other dreaimg.nbh files and still "not allow" and "serial0".
I swear i'm begining to think it's unrootable...
I've rooted over 40 g1s and never have I found one that works but is unrootable. Did you download the .nbh file from the wiki? Also when you boot the phone is the splash screen htc or rogers or g1 or what does it say
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using xda premium
One of them was from the wiki but since that didn't work i downloaded a few others i came across but they didn't work either.
It's a T-Mobile G1. German judging by the qwertz keyboard.
EDIT: Thought i'd throw in some additional info:
Firmware version: 1.6
Baseband version: 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
Kernel version: 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37 [email protected] #19
Build number: DRC83
And you said you tried the goldcard method?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using xda premium
Yeah, same exact result. I can try again.
The unlocker has a great video explaining how to do the goldcard method. I only tried it once along time ago just to see how it works, so I won't be too much of a help on that when I'm not in front of a computer
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using xda premium
Actually i have been using their tutorials. But now that you mentioned it, i watched the VIDEO instead of reading the text and it's quite different. So it's updating right now.
Now i'm moving to "Rooting the HTC Dream" step.
I really appreciate your patience and assistance
No problem, slow day @ work
Good luck, let me know if you get stuck

ok i'm about to flash radio 2.22.19.26i from the wiki.
After that i want to flash Froyo by laszlo. Can i do that straight after that wiki tutorial or do i need to do something else before i flash it?
Yeah you need the latest radio and spl. Did you flash the danger spl yet?

did you just try a froyo ruu >.<
if so then the phone will need to go to htc to get fixed as you have bricked it.
You should have not done that. Downgrading to froyo is the worst ever!

Since you were on a GB 2.3.3. ROM when you attempted to flash the 1.43.415.1 RUU which is a Froyo based ROM, you have now radio bricked your phone. You cannot downgrade a GB radio to a Froyo radio which what you have done.
There has not been a documented procedure on how an ordinary user can recover from this state, so unless a HTC service can bring it back to a working state you are stuck with a radio bricked phone.
Maybe a JTAG could help.

PS. Sorry for my english, im still learning.

Right now you need to upgrade your SPL, there was a new guide on rooting your phone, I think its posted right under yours, download the danger spl and flash it from your recovery
The post is in the first thread of general section, follow that guide starting at the danger SPL section

What can i do now ? Can u help me guys ?
Always look at the first post in a ROM you want to flash, there it should have requirements.
You need to upgrade your radio and hboot further if you want to flash that ROM. Instructions to do so is in that rooting thread, be sure to thank him for such a nice guide!

Read through this, it is possible to flash from recovery but much more safe to flash through fastboot

yeah ! Finally works ! Thank you very much, dude That was very helpful If you're ever in Poland I'll shout you a beer. ^^
I have a G1 that is stuck on the first screen that shows Google G1, no matter what I have tried to do, it appears that the device is bricked. I believe the story is that someone tried to root it, but they used the wrong version of the radio given there are two motherboards for this device.
From playing with buttons, I can get it into a blue LED mode is about it.
Any tips on how to fix this device?
Thanks!

Any recommendation on where to get the required tools for jtagging?
Look up ezterry's thread on jtaging a dream, either Google search or search xda. Here will be links to the software and cables needed.
The software is free and when you get an idea of the cables needed search around more than just what's linked as you can find them cheaper or possible make them out of others
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I had looked into this some time ago and didn't find a good schematic to make my own cable.
I own a JTAG board that I had used on other devices, not sure if this would be the same and usable on the phone.
Look at ezterrys thread, I believe that had all the info needed, there are also a couple other pages I've seen describing what you need, I can't remember off hand which one gave the most detail
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Thanks for your help!
Looks like my LPT JTAG for ST Micro chips. Not sure if its the same for this device, but I'll check out the wiki page that I found. Looks like all the info is there. Just a matter of time to create a jtag (or hook up the one I already have) and open device.
Great to see someone doing this, keep us updated with your progress
I'm in the process of selling a whole bunch of phones to some one including all my old g1 parts, there's like 5 mother boards within that lot that need JTAG, if you want a few bucks I'll send him your way if you want
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I have a drawer of phones and picked up the G1 the other day. We see when I get a few hours to do this
If I get it done, i'll take photos and document the work done.
Before I go down the jtag route, I wonder, would a goldcard help to fix this phone?
It's and HTC phone, so would a y-cable help to use a goldcard and fix the SPL on it?
