I just recently got a HTC Dream with the following details:
DREAM PVT 32B SHIP S-ON d
HBOOT-1.33.0010 (DREA20000)
CPLD-4
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Jun 2 2009,21:33:16
Firmware: 1.5
Baseband: 62.525.20.18U_3.22.20.17
Kernel: 2.6.27-9af60ed4 [email protected]
Build: 1.87.421.1 146733 CL#47295 release-keys
I noticed that the Dream is not able to use WPA Enterprise and in order to gain access to wpa_supplicant.conf I need to root the phone. I have tried several approaches and have not succeeded:
- Tried 1-click and am unable to get into recovery mode (device hangs on "HTC Dream" logo after Home+Power)
- Tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480. The downgrade fails with "Invalid model ID". (Tried both RC29 and RC7)
Can someone confirm that the phone with the above FW-version is rootable and please point me in the right direction. I have gone through the forum last night as well as Google, but as a complete noob there is so much information, and I want to make sure, I do the right thing.
I also noticed that when booting into recovery mode, I get the triangle-logo, but no recovery options (I assume that this might have gotten messed up in my attempts to root the phone) - any advise on this?

I tried cyan's recovery image from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3915123 (i.e. via 1-click). For anything else I would need to have the phone rooted, which I am not able to do.
Hello Guys,
I have got G1, with the following details:

Now the issue is that I am trying to get it rooted, and I am not being able to reach that yet !
I have tried already downgrading it using that to RC29 / RC7 and followed the exact steps on the Wiki of CM exactly, but with no success, even goldcard didn't work, I have tried it in many SD-Cards and with so many work-around-s !!!
I have tried downloading some .zip files and rename them to update.zip and trying to flash them, but they all fall into some issues, and failed !
I have read one article here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=User:Ezterry/G1_1.6_To_Custom_Firmware
And I was wishing to get something like it for me 1.5 !
Guys, I have spent really 7 HRs searching your and other forums, and I am here with no other hope getting rooted and another ROM installed on my little G1, so any help would be really really appreciated
I am a Member of XDA since long time, and I am not that guy that love to post asking for help, I have tried every single possible way of rooting it written Online and OntheMoon (just kidding)
Thanks in advanced
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)
Universal androot forcecloses on launch
flashrec has the "download cyan...." button blocked out, tried renaming amon-ra to the recovery-backup.img and it said successful, but still is stuck at g1 screen.
I found another post with someone in the same situation at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-580669.html
They did the same thing by flashing the tmobile firmware 1.0 and we have the same numbers:
Model Number: T-Mobile G1
Firmware version: 1.0

When I start up (CAMERA + POWER) I get the following settings (on red/green/blue/white screen *sigh*)

Funny thing is I was so excited when SuperOneClick said it was successful and asked if I wanted to donate that I didnt even check if I had superuser before going through paypal. I'v wasted so many hours on this dinosaur G1 but damn I want it back to CM5. Please continue with the help.

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.

I think Ezterry's post (#6) is your best option
you don't mention you have tried that
you will need to do some research into goldcards and finding the orange.nbh link
hint for the orange see threads started by ezterry (via his profile) look at the kernel for 2708 thread
Ok thanks, I'v got my gold card made but is safe to flash 1.33.200* SPL with 1.22.12.29 Radio? Isnt it a DangerSPL? Sorry if thats way off base.

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
You guys are awesome, thank you everyone who was interested and especially ezterry, Effdee and Idrifta for the enduring help. I'm now on CM5.0.8 2708+ and loving it.
Final issue, I'm wondering about going to EBI1 to get 3.22 radio. Is it as simple as updating hboot to 1.33.2010 then flashing 3.22? Is it worth doing?
Again, sorry if that is way off base but this is the first week my phone has been usable in months, and I won't jeopardize it again.

Why ebi1 is equivalent to the old ebi0 and you loose the extra ram.
Thus unless there is a very specific reason it's a downgrade

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.
Hello.
Today i got an old g1, with android 1.6 on it.
my problem is i cannot upgrade to an 2.2 or 2.3 build
i-m stuck on root. the phone have superuser in menu, i tried to re-root using UniversalAndroot 1.6.2 beta, but don't work. it says is rooted, but when trying to check with root checker, says is not rooted.
what can i do to proper root it? i want to install a custom recovery, dangerspl, but i'm stuck at the begining with rooting...
thanks..
oh, my phone specs:
drea110 PVT 32B
HBOOT 0.95.0000
radio 2.22.19.26I
firmware version 1.6
build number DRC92
LE: i aslo tried to downgrade, but getting an error :"00028002 not allow" tried both rc7 and rc29...also i have a goldcard maked but no difference
Ok, it's donw. i just wasn't doing the goldcard right. for me, the method with revskills online service didn't work, then i found a guide with qmat. flashing worked like a charm, now i'm runing cyanogen 6.
Thread can be closed now, sorry for posting before searching a little longer...
