so i just downgraded and root my sisters G1
what can i install safely because the rom selection is not as straightforward as my G2 or other newer phones that can use clockworkmod
Firm 1.0
Baseband 62.33.20.08h_1.22.12.29
Kernel 2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0
Build TC4-RC29 115247
secondly on my G2 i can just open clockwork and select the rom to write.
do i just do the same with the G1 HTC recovery menu, update from sdcard?
thanks
Personnally I would stay away from clockworkmod for G1 for recovery (I had a bad experiece with my G1 and can't even get into the recovery mode). But that is up to you if you wants to use it. I would go with Mannually using Amon RA and flash the ROM that you like.
As far as the ROM there are some out there that seem to be good for G1.
The best one so far that I like. are the following.
SuperAosp DM 2.8.2 (look at my sig for the Download site) [Mine choice]
Also Gingerbread series (ezGingerbread and Gingerbread Yoshi)
I attempted to install COS-DS-full Gingerbread latest
I ran into a status 7 error(SPL not a compatible version)
So when reading on updating the SPL I was reading without an HBOOT update you could brick
so what are the necessary files i need to update before updating the SPL and then which is the correct SPL
To my knowlegge these are the combo you'll want to use. Radio: 2.22.27.08 and SPL: 1.33.0013d
But I could be wrong.

Right now I am running Cyanogen 3.6.5 with the radio and SPL that have not been updated for a while (they are not the latest ones for sure).
Anyway in case I want to try out a Hero rom I want to update the radio and SPL, can I just update those with my current rom without having to reflash the rom?
I haven't touched my SPL, but I can tell you the radio is easy. Same as any flash - rename to update.zip and drop it on the sdcard. Reboot to recovery and flash. ROM will be fine.
Go to Settings > About phone
Check the Baseband version -- If it ends with .26I you have the latest.
I do know, when flashing the "DangerSPL" for Hero builds, you need to boot into fastboot mode (Camera+Power) and look for the text "PVT" in the first line on the rainbow screen. If you don't see PVT, you have the revision that bricks when flashed to DangerSPL

When you flash the new SPL you will have to reflash your rom because the SPL will overwrite your rom.

Ok I kinda understand that part but if after flashing the radio and SPL I flash the same rom (Cyanogen 3.6.5) again without wiping will all my settings and apps remain as they were before the update?

Use the method in post #3 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517593 it worked perfectly for me and yes your settings and apps remain the same.
One last question before I do this. I went into settings as well as checked at the fastboot screen and seems like I have the latest radio already and from what I read on this topic I should NOT reflash it right? About the SPL though how can I check what version I have? And if I already have the latest one and flash it again will I end up with a brick? Thanks everyone for your help.

Don't flash Radio again if you have the latest. (2.22.19.26I) Power off your phone then hold the Camera button down and press the On button (red button) you should see a white screen with 3 lil' Androids on skateboards, up top it should say DREAM PVT (32B ENG S-OFF) <---might be different but second lines shows your SPL, for example mine is HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA10000) and if you have the latest SPL then don't flash it again your good to go. One more thing MAKE SURE IT SAYS (PVT) AND MAKE SURE YOU FLASH RADIO BEFORE FLASHING SPL IF BOTH UPDATES ARE NEEDED! Can't stress this enough because if you do this wrong you'll definitely get a Brick.
Cool thanks. I do have PVT and the latest radio, guess it's just the SPL. Thanks again for your help.
I have a South African HTC Dream and did some research on this forum about rooting. I am more than happy with the phone's current ROM with the exception that it does not support WPA-Enterprise Wifi - in order for me to configure this, I would need to root the phone and will then be able to adjust wpa_supplicant.conf.
In all the tutorials I would have to downgrade the firmware (I have not been able to do this with any of the guides supplied - either normal RC7 downgrade, 1-click or Goldcard) in order to root the phone.
Is there any way I can root the phone without having to flash another ROM (i.e. retain the current HTC ROM and make adjustments to wpa_supplicant.conf)? Most ROMs provided are not based on HTC build, and I would loose ActiveSync. AFAIK there is no ROM available which provides ActiveSync AND HTC Mail.

There are HTC based ROMs. The ROM from the Rogers Dream has exchange support, but before you flash the ROM you must flash the new radio then the SPL.

Thanks - I replaced my phone with another one (FW 1.1) and was able to flash. I installed Touchdown to overcome the Exchange problems - not ideal, but best choice now.

You're on 1.1?! I would strongly recommend flashing a Cyanogen ROM to get you back to 1.5.
I did update to latest Cyanogen rom. One question: I rooted the phone and am on latest Cyanogen. Only (minor) issue I have is that before the Cyanogen splash-screen comes on, I still see my mobile providers boot-logo (for about 10 seconds until the splash screen comes) - is there any way to change this?
I tried fastboot flash splash1, but get an error. As part of my rooting I did not flash SPL (i.e. HardSPL) but have cm-recovery - should I update SPL and if so which one (also, what is the risk of bricking?).
If replace SPL, do I need to update the radio again or reflesh Cyanogen?
As far as I know you wouldn't need to flash either again, HardSPL is known to be safe on all phones I believe. The only problems I've heard are with Haykuro's SPL. If you haven't flashed a new SPL that could be the issue, what is the error your getting when trying to change the splash?

It should be safe as long as it doesn't not require a specific radio. I have never heard of the radio version you have, but that's probably because you don't have a t-mobile G1. What carrier is it on? If it's unlocked, what was the original carrier? (the ones displayed on the boot screen).
I think Josh is right that it's safe for all Dream's, so you probably could go ahead and flash it, I'm not 100% sure. Just a quick not about flash SPL's and radios on cm-recovery, you have to physically press alt-s then home+back to reboot. Don't touch the trackball. That's only for SPLs and radios.
The hard spl is great, but if u want to run hero u will nees to flash haykuros spl. If u do flash haykuros spl make sure u flash the new radio image FIRST! OR U WILL BRICK! Have fun flashing away
Thanks. I applied SPL from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548924
And then fastboot worked: /fastboot-mac flash splash1 DOWNGRADE-SD/Boot_images/android.rgb565
Upgraded to latest Cyanogen 4.0.4 and have now an awesome phone - thanks to everyone for the help on this forum!

I had flashed ota-radio-2_22_19_26I (not sure what it was before). I did roughly document my steps on my blog if you are interested.

thanks. after seeing the radio you said you originally had in the first post i remembered that rogers has a radio that starts with a 3(then i searched and they are the same radio), then when i tried to download the root rogers package from that thread it kept timing out the download, so i was just curious as to radio you used. according to all the rogers root thread you have to flash the 1.33.2005 spl first before you can actually root, so basically i was trying to figure out if devices with that radio are immune to the bricking without 2.22.19.26I radio.
Hey guys, I'm kinda new to the whole entire rooting business. I know I have a ADP1 G1 phone from Google, which should already be rooted.
I've recently upgraded it to 1.6 Donut from the HTC site, but then I came across CynogenMOD and I wanted to give it a try.
However when I'm trying to install the CM Recovery 1.4 via terminal i encounter a SU problem. I did some research and I think it was because I lost my root somehow on my ADP1. So can anyone help guide me to transition from my current stock 1.6 donut to the new CynogenMOD? I would greatly appreciate any help.
The information for my phone is as of the following.
Model Number 1.6
Basedband Verision 62.505.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37 [email protected] #19
Build Number dream_devphone-userdebug 1.6 DCR83 14721 test-keys
My SPL is of the following
Drea100 PVT 32B
HBOOT-.95.3000
CPLD-4
Radio 2.22.19.261
Thanks again!
Wrong section, this should go in Q&A, but the easiest way is to just re-root the phone.
I got a similar problem, from what I understood after 6hrs of reading, is that I can get root back by going back to android 1.5..
My problem is that my spl is HBOOT-0.95.0000.
From what I understand is that I only can change this when having root, but can only get root when I change this... So for now i'm kind of stuck. I hope that i'm missing something
xxljmzlxx I think you have the engineering SPL and lennarteigenbrood I think you have the original SPL See this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455860
I would think you both could just "root" your phones and be OK. The easiest way to get the cyanogen recovery image is to do the 1-click method:

Good luck.
I unrooted thurs on accident I always use this method to root takes about 10 min

My problem is I flashed to Donut and all the rooting method requires 1.5.
It might be a spl problem and with my limited knowledge, i don't think so. Because I can't just upgrade/flash my spl... Upgrade aborts everytime.
I tried flashing back to Cupcake with HTC recovery image but that also aborts. Any thoughts? Or Im i just stuck here
Also flashrec-20090815.apk doesn't work with 1.6... I can flash to cm recovery 1.4 but it won't show up when I reboot and I cannot make a backup via the program
see cyanogen installation help thread (last few pages).. you guys still have root, you just have the superuser binaries installed
the reason you cant flash the recovery is because a script in the htc recovery rom replaces it on each boot
Another noob question here.
How would i go about checking to see which radio version and SPL version im running?
i havent updated them since i originally rooted my phone months ago (1 touch root method for rogers dream) and i cant remember which SPL i installed (haykuro's i think)
is there any benefits to upgrading radio and spl?
are there different versions of radio and spl??
i know i can grab haykuros from http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
thanks for helping a noob who is wanting to learn..

check your spl and radio by booting into fastboot: camera+power
thanks a bunch looks like im running the latest
the point isnt running the latest but rather a non perfect spl (usually 1.33.2005). doing so allows you full access to fastboot commands and such.

Please I want to install Gingerbread and am having difficulty finding my way from here. I need help urgently.. Thanks
sounds like all you did was downgrade your phone, you still need to flash a custom recovery via telnet, then update radio then spl. if you want gingerbread then you will have to update your radio and spl one more time
google search "cyanogen g1 root wiki" follow the steps after downgrade (radio and danger spl, no need to flash a rom yet)
then dearch the developers section for ezterrys thread on the 2708+ update, here you will upgrade radio and spl one more time
now find the gingerbread rom you want
flash it from recovery
be very careful to read through and understand what you are doing, a brick is easy if your careless when flashing firmware

For easier installation of recovery ,just download ROM MANAGER from googleplay ,end via instal clockwork recovery or for best work RA recovery .
Then you can easily change radio and SPL via recovery ,and instal cyanogen rom ,or or whatever you want.
!!!Just be very careful when changing radio end SPL ,read what first must flashing radio or SPL !!!
One mistake end you phone is bricked!
Sory for my bad englich,and hapy flashing:good:

Thanks so much..am on it.. i went through a post about adb fastbooting process downloaded the files etc using the cmd commands given to me.. I hope am on the right part.
I did the custom flash recovery via telnet immediately i downgraded my G1. should i do it again before updating the radio and spl?
If you have amonra now (or clockwork recovery) then you don't need to reflash it. Just boot I to recovery (hold home while powering on) from here is where you will be changing you radio and SPL
