Ok so here's the deal. I was putting a new Rom on my g1 which I've done many times before. Before I I put this Rom on I had to put certain aol and ratio on first. So I put the radio on successfully . And everything was fine (radio: 2.22.27.08) .but then I flashed the hoot (1.33.0013d) it work and its on my phone but soon as it did I noticed it turned s-on . And I'm sure that's what caused it. And I tried to restore back up roms and won't boot up. None of my roms will. It just gets to the G1 screen and shuts off and true to boot again.over and over. So my question is . Is how do I turn s-on back to s-off? Please help me
You had the same problem I was having. Which ROM are you trying to flash? I don't know if it matters or not if S is ON or OFF. Mine currently is S-ON. And up and running.
Yoshiginger something. but I gave up. and just changed the hboot and radio back and that worked. but I got another question you might can help me with about my brothers magic. his s-off changed to s-on to. the only problem is on his the recovery isn't working. so is there anyway that I can flash a hboot through bootloader or any other alternate way like maybe terminal emulated?
The other way I know is adb fastboot. He might be able to download the FlashRec.apk and install it on his phone. Then flash the recovery of his choice to see if the Recovery mode will come back.
Ok we will try it. Is that Rom you got good? Never heard of it before

1.33.0013d is S-ON but modified a little so it doesn't have all of the normal restrictions
if you use 1.33.0013d and 2708 or 2825 radio you *must* use a compatible kernel
all of the solutions to your confusion are in that post linked above
in future you should take some time to read ( and understand ) things before doing
there is no excuse here ezterry did a very good job of explaining the requirements and noting the restrictions

ezterry's gingerbread is way better than yoshiginger imo
basically yoshiginger is an earlier version of ezterry's gingerbread with some cyanogen apks added
there is no good reason to use a cut and shut job when you can use the real thing
You can also try SuperAosp. It have 15MB root additional. I am currently using it. It also works with this SPL/radio combo.

I forgot to add that ezGingerbread is compatible with 32a 32b and 2708 radio, it has some black magic in it which installs the correct kernel for you

I managed to get past the first by some pretty stupid method which I'm not going to make public if I'm not sure that it works (cause it's pretty risky)
But that same method doesn't work the second time in step 2/3.

So I had to pull my battery out in the 2nd step and it showed a message that it was unable to flash the HBoot but luckily the old was still intact.

Haven't messed with a hero in a long time, but since you can get into h-boot, try to find a HERCIMG.zip of either the recovery or a full rom. (I see you now have an Evo, so HERCIMG.zip is just the Hero version of the PC36IMG for the Evo). Since the hero is pretty easy to root, I would suggest the entire rom to start fresh. If you are not familiar with HERCIMG.zip, put it on the root of your sd card and boot to hboot. It should then prompt you for the update.

If you are using a full rom image, you will need to re-root. Just use the one-click root for the Hero. But yes after you flash the image, I would boot just to make sure you are now good.
If just use a recovery img then try to boot into recovery and flash a very basic, maybe stock like rom.
i downloaded a HERCIMG.zip and hboot wont recognize it.... i think its because i have the latest hboot and radio already installed so i dont know what to do now... i've done hard reset, clear storage and i still can only get the white htc start screen and it stays there for hours until the battery dies i've done a hard reset and now my phone says s-on so somewhere in the process of trying to fix this i've lost my s-off.... i have no idea what to do :'(

Reflash darchs eng-spl to enable fast boot commands. It will give you s-off again. If you can't find it let me know. Also I'd recommended flashing it with ra1.6,1.7 or cwm2.5. After you flash the s-off zip your phone should flash the hercimg.zip

... it's been a common mistake with this process that people actually name "hercimg.zip", which now becomes "hercimg.zip.zip"
But u have to name it just "hercimg" since it's already a zip file.
Its just a thought ... and plz excuse me for questioning u if u did it correctly and it truly did not work.

So my not so brilliant girlfriend tried to flash a ROM herself and its now in a reboot loop with HTC white screen and a sprint load screen. No backup, computer does not recognize the phone when plugged in, it does charge though. Hboot 1.47 does work and so does CWR 2.5.07....I tried to flash HERCIMG.ZIP but its not finding it in Hboot. I can see the file in recovery though. It is S-On, so I know there may be issues with that as well. I did format the SD card via my computer card reader as well.
I have another phone for her but I really just want to see if I can fix it. Anyone have any longshot ideas?
go here,,,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759955,, its an s-off tool. install it and you may be able to flash your HERCIMG.img file. Or you can possibly get an RUU thats flashable through HBOOT and then reroot and start from scratch... later man
Im obviously cool with going back to factory at this point. Given cuurent state of the loop, anything do needs to be flashable I think.
I know you can find RUU's here in developement.somewhere that are flashable from hboot and some from recovery which ever you prefere or are able to. Iust sewrch the developement thread, youll fond what your lookinh for. Going bqck to stock and rerooting is my best advice , that will wipe out what ever your"not so bright girlfreind" may have borked....later

You need to be s-off the flash a HERCIMG file from h-boot, you can ruu though. If toy can get into recovery, just flash a new Rom and gapps. Make sure you format everything in cwm multiple times. I format boot, system, cache and data 3x. Sounds like overkill, but it cleans out the dingleberries.
You think Meth is bad? Try being a flash whore with a Gingerbread habit and a legacy device! It ain't pretty.

If you use the HERCIMG that is for S-ON it will downgrade your radio automatically.

Have you checked to make sure that you haven't named it HERCIMG.zip.zip? If you put .zip in the name, it will show up twice. If you can get into recovery, I don't see why you want to ruu when you could use something more optimized (like NFX sense roms) or custom CM7, AOSP, etc.
You should be able to ruu without changing the radio. It will change it when you flash the ruu. Use Darchs SPL ENG for S-off and you don't have to change the radio I believe for that one. Regaws is permanent and you need to downgrade I think.
Well I bought a used Hero cdma phone, rooted it and installed cyanogenmod on it. I did all this before activating it with sprint. When I called them they were not able to get it hooked up. I didnt want to tell them it was rooted so after an hour of them trying things we gave up.
I am trying to unroot and go back to stock now to see if it will activate. I have been running into nothing but trouble.
I have been reading alot of threads here and have gotten this far...
after trying to install stock rom i got this "Verifying system type.... E:unsupported radio version, E:Update failed...."
I downgraded the radio by flashing an older recovery and turned s-off
now when i try to install hercimg.zip I get "cant open....(bad)....install aborted"
The only thing I can see is the problem is I need to be using hboot 1.41 not 1.47 that im on.
Any input, help or a point in the right direction would be super awesome!
Thanks in advance!

Neither method work for me! I have Tried everything. As far as I can tell RUU's wont work because my HBOOT is 1.47. I have tried to flash a HERCIMG I have flash year old nandroid back ups! and many other methods but the hboot won't go back to 1.41! Do you have any insite. Hercimg flash just fails and RUU give a usb connection failed. AS far as I can tell from reading other post, the new hboot starts different and screws up the ruu! Thanks in advance!
Correction: all the links in the first method are dead so I wasn't able to try it!

Hi,
I tried to upgrade my Dream to a version of And 2.2, after flashing my phone was boot looping, so re reflashed to rc29 using xda's return to stock guide. It boots fine now in normal mode, but now I can't get into recovery and I cant get anything to flash, not even rc29 again. If I try flashing using the phone I get Model ID incorrect, with fastboot I get remote: not allow. Very few threads mention HBOOT 1.33.0014, maybe its the problem? Any help would be appreciated

ok went searching for update in settings and noticed firmware is at 1.5 , I didn't think it could update automatically without a sim? so I'm guessing DREAIMG.nbh didn't take? Just messed my recovery? I installed Androot and it says I'm "already rooted, root again?" The first guide you pointed to THIS GUIDE says for "Tmobile G1 only", should I go ahead anyway? The last one LIKE SO , I would like to try the rogers_1.89.631.1.nbh but it seems to have disappeared from the net. I'll look into the gold card idea this weekend. Thx for your input :good:

Well made a gold card, but got a message "main version is older" when I tried to update the image, I think the problem is finding the right image file. I thought Gold cards got around that?

The gold card didn't take, may need to use a different sd.

I read your post to m3talmouth:
Find amonra recovery in xda, latest is 1.7 something
Put on root of sd card and name it recovery.img
Open a terminal and type
su
If you see a # procees
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
If you have an error it could be you need to add the flash image bianary or you have a bad download or named it wrong,
I figured It might work for me, now I have AmonRA recovery 1.7 :good:
So now following the guide you posted earlier http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Dream/Rooting_Branded_EBI1s, I should install the engineering SPL, then the EB1 port file, then flash cm 6.1.zip?
Hey good! Well if you have a custom recovery you are most of the way there, now remember you have a rogers dream and need tgo flash the proper radio and spl, make sure they are listed for your phone, check md5sums, flash radio first then spl then id recomend cm5 (faster) flash rom and gapps
Do this right, just the other day someone flashed either spl first or a curropt image and got a brick. Only warning so you don't but as long as you do what I said above you'll be safe

Well...I i did a nandroid backup, tried i now have the eng SPL installed, tried the CM 6.1 as it was easier to find for my phone + the port file, but it stuck at rogers boot screen. I've seen some posts for 2708 kernel but it never mentions this in any of the install guides. I have found CM 5 roms but only with the 2708 kernel and no mention of rogers, so I'm staying clear of those for the moment. Will search some more for CM 5, its not Android 2.2 though is it?
Cm5 is 2.1 but smoother than cm6 on these phones. You can flash the one in cm wiki just flash the right kernel on top of it. If you want to do the 2708+ update (I say a good idea) then just follow ezterrys instruction in his thread. Download radio and SPL, check md5sums, and then flash via fastboot. Now they can also be flashed in recovery but I don't recommend it. After that you can flash any of the newer ROMs and it won't mater that your phone was once rogers. But older ROMs (mostly eclair and older) will need a different kernel flashed on top of them

Cm5 is 2.1 but smoother than cm6 on these phones. You can flash the one in cm wiki just flash the right kernel on top of it.

Success!!!!! I have CM 5.08 + 2708 installed and working, thx for everything, will try this mod for a while to see if it covers all I need, if so I'm good to go. :laugh: :good:
Awesome! You may need to move to froyo if apps you need aren't avalible on 2.1, there are many good aosp and cm variants just straight cm6 is kinda poor on these phones, try a few out, make nandroids so you can change back easy, there are about a dozen 2.3 and 2.2 roms that I feel run great on the dream and I personally keep a back up of each for a quick change

Do not forget that your phone is no longer EBI1.
You will no longer need to flash EBI1 ports.
On a side note, looks like you somehow got the 1.33.0014 update.
1.33.0014 is a bootloader released by HTC somewhere last year for HTC Dream. They claimed it was unlockable, and you could flash with it. I did the unlock process, and I can promise you that HTC duped us. It's not unlockable. The unlock does absolutely nothing other than change the text at the top. I even had someone reverse some of the code, and they claimed the code for doing fastboot flash doesn't seem to be there.
yeah the .0014 official unlocked bootloader is a crock, when it first came out i was about to test it and someone else here tried first, turned into a nightmare for him so i tell all to stay away! some phones it actually isnt too bad if better ways like hacked bootloaders or radio s-off has been found for it, but its a pain and you usually need to flash a rom in recovery, extract the kernel from the .zip and then flash the kernel through fastboot.
so yeah any phone that you dont need this option, stay far away from it!
