[Q] Help needed rooting my G1 - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Folks,
I've been at it for weeks now but got in a mess that i am unable to resolve.
First i tried the oneclick method to root my phone but that came out blank.
Then i followed the guide posted on this forum but again no luck.
When i try to restore to a previous version of android ( RC29) all i get is " not allow' when i try to load it ( camera button + power on button ).
I bought this phone new as a liquidation offer from T-mobile.
The guy that sold me the phone says it is a European model. ( not US or UK).
these are the specs of the phone:
Android 1.6
Smallband 62.50s.20.17 U_2.22.19.26I
Kernel 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37
Build DRC92
When i enter the phone to install dreaimg.nbh i get the following info.
Drea110 PVT 32B
HBoot - 0.95.0000
CLPD-4
Radio 2.22.19.26I
sep 2 2008
serial0
the error code when i install = 0028002.
any help is much appreciated!
kind regards

I've been at it so long!
And now with the right app it's done in seconds.

EDIT:
Still at it.
did not get any further then the G1 logo when i used the cyanogen offered by ROM Manager.
still looking in to that...

Suggestion to manually boot to recovery mode if you can. ROM Manager tends to not works correctly. I had the same problem and currently trying to fix it.

Thanks for the link

Problem Flashing

I am currently trying to place the cyanogen rom onto my Dream but I am having trouble downgrading to RC7 (Europe phone, for Australia).
I downloaded the DREAIMG.nbh, wiped my phone, attempted to flash the nbh.
Everytime (yes I have made sure it's named as DREAIMG.nbh) I try to flash it, I get the error "no allow" with the numbers 0028002 at the top of the screen, then the screen returns to the first screen of the bootloader.
If this help, on the bootloader it has:
Code:
DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.261
Sep 2 2008
Then in the Green section of the RGB it says "Serial0"
This phone is still stock and I have not changed the firmware whatsoever. (1.5) (CRC28)
Thanks, Blake.

First off this is not Q&A the idiocy of some of the members on this site surprise me. Second off from the little i know i believe that DREAIMG.nbh is for USA version. Which is why it probably is not working. I may be wrong but i really dont care about your problem.

So you are saying I am allowed to find a well-knowledged forum and not ask for help? Accusing me for something unproven?
I have spent the last two hours looking for my problem but still manage to find nothing. The guides here are not based on CRC28 so this has become more challenging.
As for the other reply, the nbh is all named the same, however there is a different version for US and EUR, I have tried both.
REV: I went over to Whirlpool forums and it seems that the goldcard method may be the only way for AUS.
I think that all they are trying to say is please post Questions, in the Q & A sub forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=507
There are lots of experienced people in that are more than happy to help you resolve the issue.

Now that its been moved i'll try to help...
Did you root????? , cause you need root to do what you are trying , and i see you using the original SPL ....
I looked at the link in your signature but I can't even do the first step of flashing the DREAIMG... but from what I have read, australian dreams are different from the us and uk version and require using a goldcard. I will try the goldcard when I have access to my computer later on today

i need help from the phone guys:)

here is the deal , you will forever be my hero if you can help me out here
so i buy a g1 off of fleabay for a price that you guys would crap over (30$) it was bricked which i already knew , followed somebodys "how to" and got it goin . i am sure you know where i am going by now
i cant stand the F'in firmware thats in it after having a G1 with donut ( screen keeps tweaking out on me , thats on another thread) , i have been playing with the thing for a few days but for some reason i cant make it do what the "how to's" say it should do when trying to install 1.6 manually .
thanks in advance,
monty
i am not a dummy , i am just missing something here and you guys/girls can probably point it out
Can you enter to recovery (power + home)? can you enter to fastboot (power + camera buttom)? If so, its not bricked. If not, you can try this and see if it works, if not, its bricked.

He's saying that the phone is working, he just dosnt like the firmware its on, I think... You should provide some more info:
Do you have root?
What version of andriod?
Recovery, SPL version etc
Before you start flashing and such, I have one question: Are you 100% sure it is a G1, for T-Mobile, made by HTC? The reason I ask is because eBay is FLOODED with G1 clones, and are even using G1 in the eBay Auction Title to make it look that much more realistic.
The easiest way to tell if it is a real G1 is if its screen slides out to reveal a keyboard, and if it says 'htc' on the upper left side of the phone.
i have had a g1 for about 6 months and the touch screen started tripping out on me , so i bought this phone for 30$ and figured if nhothing else i could turn my bronze g1 into a black one and replace the screen that is wacked out.
i have tried and tried and tried to update the phone , i got it to root after 6 different root code downloads . i found a site that has all the links to get up to 1.6 donut , i got my pc running through the admin. account , renaming files properly but keep getting
finding update package ...
opening update package...
verifying update package...
E:No signature (413 files) another time it was (302 files)
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted
if i try to do "apply any zip from card" get the same thing
i know its a g1 , i am pretty smart just need a little guidance cause like i said i know i am just missing something
the boot screen says

The ROM you are trying to flash is not signed properly. Try throwing us a bone, and telling use a bit more info, like what ROM are you trying to flash? Are you rooted for sure? What method did you use? Links would be great! And so forth... basically, we should see something like this:
ROM: Michael Jackson Lives 2.24.18 and a Link
Root Method: Link to Walk Through
Radio: X.XX.XX
SPL: XXXXX and a link
Recovery Image: CM 1.4/Armon's RA 1.XXXXX
Plus a couple paragraphs explaining what you have done so far; ie I got to step 8 of the walk through...
so i waited a few days after installing the original spl http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=137382&d=1229311457 (successful) and the other original flash ROM i installed correctly i believe as it went back to the yellow letters from the green when i had it rooted .
i played with the pc and the g1 for like 10 hrs. straight , managed to brick it twice , managed to return it to useable condition . does anyone have the links to convert from 1.0 - RC29 all the way to 1.6 donut ? there is a certain order as builds dont seem to be compatibll upgradeable. from 1.0 to 1.5 or 1.6 and then the new 2.1 mid-feb.
tmobile says they cannot push an ota to a single device and it is done automatically off of your serial/imei # through a processor that keeps track of devices and updates them accordingly . the only reason that made sense to me of why i haven't received any updates is that the device has already received the updates once and they do not get pushed through ota more than once maybe.
right now device is all back to original setting after unbricking
i used this site http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/Unbrick
and for some reason when i rename files and then transfer the file to sd it just never seems to work to install upgrades onto device . i need help , i know just enough to be dangerous but i just need some guidance
the pics shown arethe phone i want to update to all newest software or just go crazy and mod the hell out of it
i noticed the home+power screen is a little different than when i tried to install upgrades on the device before . it used to read alt+s install /sdcard/update.zip
this link finally worked http://android-roms.googlecode.com/files/signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip
device is perfect now
phone was bricked , unbricked per this http://android-roms.googlecode.com/files/DREAIMG-RC29.zip , tried to push all the updates through (home+power>alt+l>alt+s) and nothing worked , pull my hair out !! , after 10hrs i finally figured something out , the recovery screen showed install/sdcard/update.zip , thats not what you wanna see , i ended up doing everything else mentioned above and then i finally found a link to dowmload original spl and original bootloader http://android-roms.googlecode.com/files/G1OrigBootloader_nocheck.zip BOOM !!! the recovery screen showed install sdcard:update.zip
i proceeded to put all these upgrades in the phone in this order
http://android-roms.googlecode.com/files/signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip

http://android-roms.googlecode.com/files/signed-kila-DRC83-from-CRC1.c41b93c1.zip
device is perfect and all factory now , all for 30$
heh for 30 dollars you got yourself a nice deal on a softbrick, wish there were more idiots in the world who sold them like that D:

CM 5.0.7 installation issues

I tried upgrading from 4.2.15.1 to the recent 5.0.7. following the instructions on the wiki, and successfully installed the radio and danger according to fastboot mode but get an error when I try to flash the CM mod. It cancels the installation and says '(Status 0)' when I try. I did a wipe from the recovery screen but is that all I need to do when people say not to upgrade directly from 4.15?

Did you check the MD5sum of the file to see if it was complete?
Ok, so going back I realize for some strange reason I downloaded the N1 version of the mod instead of the G1 version...
but i used to ums_enable command in the console to switch the files and it works now! thanks anyways

I need help! Please!
having the same problem and i'm not getting any answers either!!!!
the answer is everywhere. There was an issue with the recovery getting wiped. you got to flash the recovery thru fastboot.
One person downloading the wrong version...
one person not reading the thread for the recovery or keeping up with the issues that show up everywhere.....
And SUPREME is back, and was nice to everyone.
WTF is wrong with this picture?

[Q] an idiot newbie desperately in need of help

can anyone advise if there is a stable froyo rom on here in 'zip' format
that does not need any radio/hardspl/ or recovery tweaks beforehand ? (hopefully with GPS, BT, Wifi, Camera etc working)
I genuinely have sweated blood over the last 3 days trying my best.
I have read all the guides, tried using ADB, Fastboot, Terminal Emulators etc
and for various reasons have always managed to crash and burn.
I really was after Lazlo's Froyo, but could not even get the Radio and Hardspl he advised on to the phone !
in desperation. I tried it anyway, and was very close to bricking the phone.
(thankfully though the help on here got me out of being stuck in fastboot)
I failed, even with the guide below ... as it said no room on device !
http://www.webnetta.com/2009/01/02/t-mobile-g1-rc30-to-jfv13/
I plead for a simple zip that I can apply via clockwork as I can manage that method ok.
I have found loads of zip files here:
http://www.filecrop.com/android-2.2-froyo-G1.html
would any of these be of help
anyone ?
thanks in advance
First of all what is your current state on the G1? (IE: SPL, radio, etc...)
And do you really want the froyo ROM to be loaded on your G1 only, or any would do to get your G1 up and running?
thanks for the response ...
the phone is currently running ok on the original 1.6 rom, but I had managed an spl update on it.
fastboot shows:

Kernal version

[email protected] #19
Build number
DRC92
I don't know if all this is original as the Lazlo rom seemed to go on via clockwork,
but then hung, and somehow I got back booting to 1.6
ideally I would like to get Froyo on it
Have you look at [ROM] Froyo 2.2.1 for T-Mobile G1 " Froyo for Trout! " F4T1.8.2 (01/19/2011). You will have to load the SPL and radio that is related to the ROM. And it's Froyo.
sadly that was the one I previously went for.
I did the sdcard ok, but could not get the radio & spl images flashed to phone with either adb or emulator whatever I tried.
usb drivers are on ok, I have the sdk, and despite showing up in windows device manager, and connecting fine when mounted,
adb will not connect to device.
if this Radio and the SPL were available in zip, rather than .img format I could succeed.
I have really browsed all the roms in the Rom Bible link, but cannot find one that does not require these type of fixes.
I was having the same problem with mine the other week. I could not use the img file so I had to mannually search for those zip files.
Afterward this is what I found. See if that helps.
HERE ARE THE DOWNLOADS FOR NEW SPL/RADIO RAM HACK!!!!!

the links unfortunately give me a 404 !
John Denver once sang
'Some days are Diamonds,some days are Stone'
with my luck lately I suspect I was born in a quarry !
@beandroidized
maybe it was a diamond quarry after all !
I got the filenames (radio-2_22_27_08-signed.zip & hboot0013d-signed.zip)
from those dead links, put them into google and got them both via Mediafire !
so thanks a lot there my friend,
I'll have a go at flashing both, and the Laslo rom, tomorrow afternoon and will let you know how I get on.
regards,
Kevin
Good for you. And you are welcome. Good luck.
@beenandroidized ....

mybay downgrade it to 1.5 or 1.1 from the htc site???
Stupid question. Which phone do you have? US T-Mobile? Rogers Dream? etc...
Depending on which phone you have. You are required to use a specific nbh file.
IE: dreaming.nbh for US T-Mobile...
There are RC7 and RC29 (if I remembered it right) for different G1 phone.
Also, you will have to format your SD card using FAT partition.

One more thing, if that is what I think it is. It's US T-Mobile, then you will need to use RC29, not RC7. But you have to confirm that first.
it's an europe telefoon.
i tried to use it both,
but it's 32b
look in my post above
it says if a renamed it to dreaming.nhb
no img file
can someone upload the rc7 and rc29 and maybe rc30 mod ?????
Have you try camera+power to see if you can get in fastboot?
i see the colored screen
then the gray and that's it, then it's plops back to the colored screen
does anyone has qmat full????
no one nows the answer i see
