Quick Radio/Custom Rom Question.

Hey all,
I just recently installed the JF 1.51 rom so I could take advantage of having root access..
From what i've experienced it's workin' great.
The only problem I seem to have is my bluetooth connections, like my headset.. I've tried two, (both worked perfectly before I installed the rom); they seem to pair and connect without flaw, but I can't hear anything through it and the person on the other line can't hear me. I'm also experiencing issues with my speaker phone performance. (I might just be imagining the speaker phone issues, but still I would like to get this sorted out). My 3g signal seems to have been decreased as of late, and my GPS takes a little longer to locate my position. During the rom installation process, I installed an updated radio from the stock RC27 (or 29 I forget exactly)
So currently here are my specs:
Firmware version: 1.5
Base band (Last 4 entries): 1.22.14.11
Kernal version: 2.6.27-00392-g8312baf [email protected] #2
Build Number: CRB43
I tried downloading the radio image from HTC (See attached file: Screen shot 2009-09-07 at 3.46.30 PM.jpg )
And the steps I took in doing that were compressing the file, naming it "update.zip", and trying to install it
So pretty much I'm just asking what you guys think I need to do.
Do I have the correct radio version already, and my problems are just with Jf's Rom?
Is there a certain way I'm supposed to boot the HTC radio image?
Is there another radio version I'm supposed to download?
Should I just install the official 1.5 because I'm a total noob?
Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it. I've searched the forums, and could not find specific instructions on how to solve my problem. And sorry for previously posting in the wrong section.

it doesn't look like the radio took when you installed it. did you say you compressed the zip file first? Just download it, rename to update.zip and flash it. If you check the number in settings it should match. And this is probably contributing to your connection issues.
good luck.

Ok, I just tried (again)
Results:
Installing from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
Edit: btw, I am restarting while holding the "Home" Button, and then when the S.R.U screen comes up, I press "alt"+"s"

This may seem dumb to ask but if you are using windows just name to " update ", windows hides the file ex. Also try redownloading radio and retrying

I always have hashtab installed: http://beeblebrox.org/
That way you can right-click the file, go to the "file hashes" tab and see the MD5 which is given on the website as "checksum". Then you know for certain it downloaded correctly, you can also check after copying to SD card for maximum sureness.

Im on a mac, and I changed the extension. I know I did.
Im pretty sure I got the whole file, I downloaded it twice. And tried to boot it up twice. 3 fails.. One of each of the attempts, and One for me because I'm just so lost on this stuff...

You only get a no sig if you are not rooted, can you check your bootloader and post what it ays, I know you were running jf so you must have been rooted but sometimes strange things happen

Can you describe to me what and where is the boot-loader?

Wow, umm.......yeah, turn off your phone and hold camera and power to turn back on and enter the bootloader and do the three finger salute (talk menu end) to reboot, same bootloader that you need to do to root

How can you tell thats not your problem without checking it. You got to run thru all possiblities. Also if you are using the newest recovery you don't have to rename to update you just flash any .zip.
And whats up GridLock where you been all day. It's been a boring day at work, Thanks.

Good point, I'll check it out.

You stil haven't said if the secutity is on or off
Supreme, I had been up all day, than the night, over the night I was listening to a crying girl all freakin night who's boyfriend cheated on her, then the guy calls up at like 4 in the morning and all of a sudden she was alright with him. Oh did I snap on the girl and ripped her apart, so I came home drank a few beers and just woke up still in a foul mood

It doesn't indicate..

Should say after the board type s-on or s-off, you know what **** it, download the rc package for your area, put the dreaimg.nbh on your card and start the rooting process over since you can get in the bootloader

Ok I got it. Here's what I discovered..
Im running on a mac, so when I downloaded the zip file (for the radio update) it would automatically unzip it. When I named it "update.zip" I did change the extension, but it didn't display as it should. I even tried to compress it after it automatically unzipped.. but obviously that doesn't work. (Well, now it seems obvious).
So I guess for noobs like me, let this be a lesson. Use a PC, or learn how your mac operates.
And btw, my bluetooth issues have been fixed.. and my speaker phone actually does seem more prominent. Thanks for everyones help, I really appreciate it.

Hey, by you learning, I learn for the next person with a ? So thank you and I am gald that you solved your problem

[Q] [q] huge problem g1 - cm 5.0.8 please help!!!

Hi I hope someone can help with this issue - I've been doing my own research and so far I've found no solution. Funny enough I thought this was a pretty unique issue but like with most things when you google them you start realising there have been several posts relating to the same issue. Unfortunately they've either been abandoned or unsolved.
Here's the issue and I'll try and provide as much information here as I can. Hopefully if we can work it out not only will it help me but all the other posters who've had this issue.
Like with other postsers I havent had this issue on a previous handset. I had to send my G1 in for repair due to it rebooting randomly and the usb port not working and it locking up - test came back saying hardware failure. (but my GPS worked at least) - The company Tmobile use for repair is called SBE ltd (im in the uk) - They replaced the mainboard (and yes its PVT not DVT).
When I got it back I was anxious to just get it back to how it was when I had it last. They'd given me a replacement cruddy phone which was driving me mad so I got straight on the case and rooted it - heres exactly what I did. I know theres other methods like the terminal trick but I'd done this one before and had the guide handy so just did it again -
1) I first downgraded to RC7 (uk)
2) Then upgraded to cupcake (1.5)
3) Turned on phone went to marked downloaded Linda File manager
4) I put FlashRec.apk and amon ra recovery1.2.3.img on the root of my SD card (which was just named recovery.img)
5) I ran the flashrec program and ran the command - /sdcard/recovery.img to install my custom recovery
After this I rebooted and went into recovery
In recovery I clicked on Partition SD Card > Partition SD
then selected 96mbs for Swap, 512mbs for ext2 and fat32 for the remainder. Finally clicked on Partition SD Card > SD: ext2 to ext3
Once That bit was done I Simply put the radio I was using along with SPL and rom on the root and updated.
The files I used were
radio - ota-radio-2_22_19_26I
SPL - Danger SPL
ROM - update-cm-5.0.8-DS-signed
I flashed the Radio first then wiped
Then I flashed the SPL then wiped
Then I flashed the rom and Gapps
Everything looked great - I got excited started playing around with it and putting my music and apps on it and I smiled sat back and breathed a sigh of releif.....until I tried using my GPS
....GPS wasnt working...could get a rough locoation with Cell towers but no GPS signal as such. Then it'd randomly work sometimes with google maps but not google navigator or any other navigation apps like Co Pilot.
So I did what anyone would.. spoke to a few people did a small bit of research and was advised by some it might be my radio was out of date so I loaded the trust DREAMIMG file on and did the whole thing again
Same process but this time I used Amon Ra 1.7 (thought I may as well update this as well)
Radio - G1-radio-2_22_23_02
SPL - Danger
ROM - update-cm-5.0.8-DS-signed
Still no luck got a nicer looking recovery image and everythign seems to run like a dream but no GPS signal tried turning it off and on and off an on at diff points.
I'm up for trying anything (read into that as you will) - but guys I'm desperate. I even ran FireRat's patch to increase my internal memory from 42mb to 78mb. Sorry if this post is long winded and boring but I wanted to explain it properly to finally get to the bottom of it.
So to put it bluntly - Rooted the phone - loaded CM5.0.8 no GPS
In my phone info it says -
Firmware 2.1-update 1
Baseband version 62.50SC.20.17H_2.22.23.02
Kernel - 2.6.34-cyanogenmodshade (at) toxygen #1
Build number - EPE54B
In fastboot info is -
DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF
HBOOT- 1.33.2005 (DREA11000)
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.23.02
Apr 20 2009, 15:30:43
--------------
So far all I can find is that others have had similar issues - I did notice a few CM5 early builds gave people GPS issues but it seemed sorted in the final build and this is the same rom I used before my replacement G1 (or mainboard at least) and the GPS worked fine.
I've also noticed some are saying about codes to put in on dialers that may help. Some say its the radio which is why i updated it. some say it could be using the right class of radio EBI0: 1.x and 2.x - but i dont really understand that. And others suggest doing things like disabling the location settings for wireless networks and only having GPS ticked. I've tried most of this and still nothing.
Thanks in advance you guys deserve a medal for just reading this - I hope someone can help!! Imagine having a phone that messed up due to hardware issues and waiting 3 weeks with a bad loan phone - finally getting ur android back and then this happens!! - words cannot describe the anger ! - thanks again

only thing i reccomend is upgrading to the latest cm nightly or redownloading the 508 zip from wiki.cyanogenmod.com but some good steps to follow are found here

do you think it could be my version of cm5.0.8 isnt uptodate? I'll re download do you suggest going to CM6? I didnt think that was stable - but this version worked before which is why im stumped I dont mind trying this tho....just wanted to clarify what you meant.

in your guide that other guy says about certain steps being wrong I dont understand what he's talkin about it all makes sense to me when he said steps 2-6 should never be done what did he mean? lol

As a test try another ROM e.g. SpeedTeam

Just for ****s and giggles, have you opened up your phone to make sure all the cables, and attachments are in place? You said they replaced the mobo. Repairmen have frequently been known to screw other things up when they fix another problem. I would check this first. I've ran every flavor of cyan, and bought copilot before google gave us navigator. I've never had a problem with my gps. I modded my g1 bronze over a year ago to replace the silver keys with black. When I did, I ran a screw through the long coax cable. I got one off ebay from a guy in the uk for about 10-12€. While I was waiting on it, I still used my phone as a comp by using wifi. It works on a separate smaller coax cable. I have no idea if the gps reciever is part of one of those smaller boards or not. It's worth looking into never the less. If you are interested, I will save the phone's pdf manual that covers disassembly on my server and you can give it a look. I've taken mine down several times for other mods since then. Just let me know and I'll upload it.
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App

Ok thanks Id like to see the disassembly guide but as my phone is still under warantee i dont know if its a good idea as Ive never taken it apart surely they tested the phone before it was sent back??
I do know what you mean tho they could have easily put it back together and missed something is there no other reason apart from hardware?
these other suggestion such as radios spls roms etc - are they worth looking into or not?

You said your gps works...just not accurately...I don't see how it could be a disconnected cable.
The gps is flaky on anything but the stock Donut rom IMO.
I have had three g1's personally.
I have rooted two for friends.
I have played with unrooted and rooted G1's and found this too be an issue with all of them not on the actual stock rom.
For those that have a working GPS on all Eclair/Froyo roms, good for you, but I can tell you that there DEFINITELY is an issue with the GPS on Eclair/Froyo for some people

well....i understand what you mean G1forFun - but Ive had GPS working on custom roms before i had my mainboard replaced on my G1 - and i didnt say it sorta works - what happened was the other day it sorta picked up a gps signal on google maps but never worked on navigator or Copilot etc - and it only ever sometimes got a signal on google maps like once or twice and now i cant seem to get it to again at all - this is driving me nuts when it used to 'sort of work' it was using wireless data to triangulate my rough location but it didnt pinpoint me exactly apart from the two times it luckily worked. however ive been trying it without the wireless data location and i get - your location is temporarily unavailable and in GPS test apps nothing apart from my compass

ok...
anyone have any other ideas? Ive done a BART backup to the rom i had (chromatic) which had GPS working on my old mainboard before the repair still everything working perfectly without any issues EXCEPT GPS
this is so strange...

Ive tried a BART restore to another rom GPS was working and I reflashed CM5 when I updated the radio and recovery image incase it was the radio. Ive just gone back to stock too and still not working with GPS - i just loaded the dreamimg.nbh and flashed that.

ok gone to stock now....and still no GPS im guessing when they repaird it they messed up the GPs or didnt plug it in.... or it became faulty and they didnt check it for some reason.
Anyway back to repair factory for another long wait....grr

BTW! You want to update your radio / SPL to 27.08 (radio) and 13d (SPL) Your current SPL/radio will not work with this ROM. Also, after you flashed the ROM alos flash the 15MB boot behind it. Then your ROM will not get stuck at the splash screen.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE ROOTED YOUR PHONE!
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsilble if you bricked your G1.
What you want to do is to make sure you have Amon RA Recovery loaded first.
copy everything into your root SD card. (IE: SPL, radio, ROM and the 15MB-root).
Boot into RA Recovery.
Flash radio and SPL.
Flash the ROM.
Flash 15MB-boot.
Reboot and wait until your phone finish loading.... (DO NOT TAKE OUT YOUR BATTERY)
Enjoy!

Thanks！！！ thouth once stuck at the splash img ,i now have updated it successfully!
lot to do ,ha,thanks again .

You're welcome. Let me know the outcome of the flash.
You'll love this ROM like I do, only one thing about this ROM (but I can live with it) is that the coder is from Spain (or that area), and I think he accidentally hardcode some of the thing in his language in the setting area. But the words are understandable.

internal storage:58MB free ,33MB used
running ram:28MB free
no swapon
how comes this ? any thing wrong? by the way,the input method i installled sometimes don't work well,any solutions?

Hmm, did you run all the flash including the 15MB-boot file? Try to run that again. Also what radio do u have as of now?
Also, go to setting >> SupSetup >> Options >> App2SD and LinuxSwap
You can adjust the steeing in that area to your liking. Some of them will make you reboot your phone.
You can activate App2SD and the Linux Swap in that area. There are a lot of Setting in the SupSetup that can optimize your phone. You'll have to play with it until you get the setting you like. Even with the default setting, it will be good.

I just picked another rom,for one reason,i found it a little unconvenience for me with my phone language as English,as i am from China.maybe i'll try it latter,thanks anyway

LOL! You are welcome, I do understand totally.

Thanks for your concern .It's just that for several times i have met this:for example,for some of the adw's settings and some other settings where there was a upper window ,it seemed not to display correctly, i had to open the keyboard to let the window show.maybe it was because the animination plugin（i did not know the English name）,recently i turned off the animination and it turned out to be just ok .now everything seems to be fine .
Here is another question.the GPS never worked out,it probaly not about this ROM 'cause for the earlier ones the GPS did not work either(it just cannot find singnal ).i think it's the GPS modual's problem ,any sugguestions?
Ｓorry for the delay and thanks again for your concern .lol

It's not the ROM, I am pretty sure of. Personnally I turn GPS off, because I don't use it.
As far as the ADW, I suggested that you replace that with other Launcher (IE: Go Launcher EX, or LauncherPro) ADW seem to not work too well. But if you have that thing works the way you want then that is fine.

[Q] Al little direction...

OK here it is. My G1 is currently on version. 1.0 (RC29) stock recovery as well. i have been scanning the forums here and keep finding info with broken links and pages that say they are out dated. Can someone here post me a few links to some current info on rooting and installing a froyo rom (gingerbread was too laggy) the part that seems to get me lost is all the radio, spl, and recovery menu options out there and after 3 attempts at rooting and installing a new rom last night all i could get the phone to do was hang at the g1 screen. so now im back to stock on the phone and will wait on some help before i attempt this again. I used this site to root and hack back when i used the phone for PSFreedom, but it wasnt as cluttered with info overload.
The phone is:
T-Mobile G1 US
Firmware 1.0
PS I already installed Telnet but thats as far as I have gone. And if you can point me to a Froyo rom that is stable and runs without lag I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

ok this guide is easy to follow... [Guide] (8-18-11) G1 How-to: Root, Un-Root & Everything in-between
just folow instructions and i will help you along the way if you need it

ok i did the wipes and everything in the first step but when i get to the google sign in screen the phone shows no signal (usually 4 bars where i am) so i cant get past the google screen to do the next step.

wait you said you were on 1.0 already? so which file did you flash the update.zip? and you cant sign on..?
thats just the update to 1.5 so im not sure why you would have no signal...

no idea either its rooted though i have tried a few roms so far.
GINGERBREAD-DS-Beta-20110716 (hangs at G1 Screen)
cos-ds =07182011 (makes it as far as the bluish android logo and then loops)
will the 1.5 update work with the hboot0013d and the 2708 radio?
when i flashed the 1.5 update (as in the guide) it made it to the google sign in screen and wouldnt let me by, so i reflashed the 1.0 file and got my service back restarted the guide and skipped the 1.5 update the second time.
my fast boot info:
Dream PVT 32b SHIP S-on
HBOOT 1.33.0013d (drea10000)
CPLD-4
RADIO 2.22.28.25
OCT 21,2009,22:33:27

wait no that dont make sense... lol are you trying to root your device?
if you have 28.28 and 0013d than you are rooted and should be good to flash roms.. all you need is to make sure your sdcard is properly formatted and partitioned lol

some roms require an ext4 partition... if you have amonra recovery than go to partition sd options.. choose partition sd and set swap to 96mb and ext to 512mb.. than upgrade ext2 to ext3 than upgrade ext3 to ext4.. than wipe all data, cache, system than flash a rom..

I did all the steps i managed to get it rooted but with the specs of hboot and radio i tried 5-6 roms and none booted up i even tried the SenseLX one with MTD and without, and never made it past the G1 screen i have even gone back to rc29 a few times and started over. this last attempt i decided to just got to 1.6 so i did the upgrades for that (unrooted) and when i hit 1.5 i lost all cell signal again, went to 1.6 and still didnt have it now im back to 1.0 again. im lost on what could be going on.

so your saying you had radio 28.25 and hboot 0013d and you couldn't get the roms to boot?
and that you cant get a cell signal?
-for the rom issue i think it may be your sd card...
-for the signal issue you might need a new sim card... you can get them replaced for free at a tmobile store..

New SD card and sim in phone and attempting this again... ill keep you posted on any progress if any.

This is a regular US T-mobile branded G1, not a unbranded or Asian, model?
If you are still having these issues, and starting from any Engineering SPL, you might try the orange-1.58.73.2.nbh file over here.
It updates radio/hboot/kernel/system all at once, in a known working set.
You can change the French over to English, but might need to know a bit of French to find the setting, and I even kept it on a phone for my kids to play with (no sim) just to run some apps via wifi.
Then if you get REALLY stuck again with updating, just flash back to the orange NBH, it is much easier then going all the way back to RC29 and rooting again.

[Q] Wow I feel lost...

I bought my G1 on the first day I could. I rooted it as soon as you could so I could get apps to SD and bump up the CPU a bit. I loved this phone. I eventually upgraded to an HD2 so I could run Android on it and stick with T-Mobile. I just booted my G1 back up so that I could install some apps to use it as a remote webcam. I did a factory reset and then got stuck during the activation screen. I know you can use ADB to bypass this but I figured I might as well just install a new rom on it that can activate the wifi during the startup process.
This is where I feel lost. I haven't booted up my G1 in ages and thus I haven't flashed it in ages. I would like to install this rom: The Official "KANGED" CM7 for DS ... but I don't have the correct SPL or Radio I am guessing. I currently have HBOOT-1.33.2005 and Radio 2.22.19.26I. I have a recovery image installed (RA-dream-v1.6.2) so I can flash roms and radios and such but I am having trouble finding threads that talk about the proper files to install. If somebody could just point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thanks!!

this will have all the needed info
so to clarify - via fastboot update recovery then radio then spl
when finished download rom and gapps
congrats your done!

Well, there's also a way to flash these RADIO and SPL, shown by YOU (demkantor) but as he said, fastboot is a little bit more complicated for me, but if you have it , just use fastboot. And remember, 'Fastboot is your Friend' !!!
