Hi all,
sry i have to start this topic but search here/other forums and even google gave me no results.
i whish to use Biffmod 2.1 on my HTC Dream /Dev Edition
in ROM topic is said:
"Radio Required: 2.22.23.02"
i just wanted to know (i´am EU-User) if i could go with "2.22.19.26i Non US" or is it simply not possible. so that i have to use 2.22.23.02
are there issues when using a US Radio in EU?
or does this have nothing to do with localisation
thanks and greetz
You can use both radio images, but probably you would like to use the +14MB RAM hack. You need a special kernel for that but this is existing. You should read in this thread and you can download the 2708-BiffMod from here.
To be honest, I never tried BiffMod. I am using Gingerbread now
thanks for the heads up.
but just to be clear. what you´re trying to teach me is, that flashing to a up(to)date radio and SPL (death spl) isn´t enough to run biffmod?
i even have to some how "manage" to get the 14MB+ RAM and ne kernel.
sry i´am a little confused now. working in this rom flash the whole day
greetz
You can use the "standard" method, i.e. DangerSPL, but I would not recomend it. You can gain additional 14MB RAM (not internal memory!) If you go with the other combo. The only "disadvantage" is, that you need a kernel which supports this combo.
It's your turn now to decide

After reading I'm assuming that the suggested route is following ezterry's hboot and radio update before installing Biffmod v2.1? I'm currently running a G1 with the 1.33.2005 HBOOT, 2.22.19.26I Radio, and CM6.1.0-ds. Also does Biffmod's ROM include the kernel or is it the ROM itself because ezterry's post suggested installing the kernel but I'm not sure if the ROM includes it.
Thanks

Im currently running modaco r22 an im looking to try out one of the froyo roms but i saw that i have to update my radio i was wondering if i update my radio so i can install the froyo rom if it will stay updated, if i dislike the the froyo rom an want to come back to modaco do i have to degrade the radio? or if i do a nandroid backup i dont have to worry about downgrading the radio?
(if anybody would like to help) *which is the best froyo rom?*
Wrong forum, this should be in Q&A. But if you want to go back to a non-Froyo ROM, you can flash a 4.03/4.04 radio just like you did the 4.06 to downgrade.
oh sorry for placing it in the wrong forum, so basically if i get a froyo rom an dislike it i just have to flash the radio i have now?
If you go to cyanogen 5.0.8 you don't need to downgrade radio. On any other non froyo rom you need to downgrade radio.

Some people get crazy when stuff's posted in the wrong place.
Basically, if you upgrade to CM 5.08 or a Froyo-based ROM, you'll need the 4.06 (Froyo) radio.
If you decide to go back to a 2.1 (non CM 5.08) ROM, you'll want to downgrade your radio as well, otherwise some things may not work properly (camera, etc.).
Thread moved to Q&A.
Oh ok thanks a lot tjsimm... I really appreciate it.

No problem. As for the ROMs, I've been enjoying Kang-o-Rama 0.9. It's now in Final, and it's rock solid. Haven't had any issues at all.
I've been looking for hours on this site and many other sites and I CANNOT find what I am looking for ..yes I went thread by thread but I just CANNOT find what im looking for.Im wanting to run Cyanogenmod 6.1 on my g1 but I just dont know where to find the latest radio image/SPL/kernal.I might have found the kernal but I desperately need help finding everything anyways just in case I might have missed something.Thanks
umm did you try this? http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Dream
It has links for everything that you need.
it showed me that i was running EBI0 but i could not download the new radio becasue im assuming its outdated and the link didnt work neither . =[ ?
OK I have a rogers dream so it's not exactly the same but I will see what I can do to help.
What do you have now? radio/spl/ROM
Do you have root?
Once you let me know these things I will see what I can find.
I have the Cyanogenmod 6.1 with the dangerspl . i think its the latest one. and I have 2.22.19.26I radio
OK Then I am misunderstanding what you want. As your already running Cyanogen 6.1
I might be wrong , but I think you are after this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
its the radio/spl for the extra 15mb ram
note you will need a compatible kernel, if it is CM6.1 then I think the easiest to use is Firerat's Magpie, A friend set mine up but I'm getting into the swing of things
google for "firerat magpie" , but I can't remember if you need to be logged in to cyanogen to be able to follow links
Hi guys,
I'm trying to help a friend with upgrading the OS on his T-Mobile G1. Right now his phone is running the original Donut 1.6 which is rooted.
In "fastboot" mode he can see the following info:
CPLD-4
SPL/hboot 0.95.0000
radio 1.22.12.99
Ideally I'd like to upgrade his phone to Gingerbread, what ROM version is recommended? Any radio/SPL upgrades needed?
Thanks!
a friend did mine, but I have been reading stuff ( he gave me a list of things to read lol )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
that will upgrade the radio/spl ( giving you extra 15mb ram )
google Firerat magpie , but that is only CM6.1 aka Froyo ( but supports the new radio automatically )
for Gingerbread , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882356
that has autokernel like the CM6 Magpie , but it is GingerBread
you will want the ADS or Firerat versions if you want a2sd
or use Firerat's AIO script http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679572
And like Mike says, read everything by ezterry, firerat AndDisa and you will learn things
Hi Effdee,
Thanks for your replay...was very helpful. Phone is upgraded to GB now.

Hey guys i've got a simple question for you all. The question is, that are G1 roms compatible with the HTC Magic (32b). The reason i ask is because i just installed CyanogenMod 7.0.1 unofficial (SlashDW) rom on my phone, and it works perfectly fine.
Also, when you see roms in Rom Manager, they say for Sapphire/Dream G1 so i'm thinking, that it must be compatible. Also the roms which i see in rom manager, when i try to search them here, they all come under the g1 development sub board, so this leads me to think my theory is correct.
If i am correct, how are we meant to know, whether the rom is for 32b or 32a? or does it not matter? Sorry if they're simple questions, but i just flashed my first rom today so don't have much experience.
Anyways thanks for your help in advance.
depends on the rom... if it has auto-kernel or just a magic kernel than it will work for you... it's Ebi0 or Ebi1...
Thanks for the reply but please could you elaborate a little more, as i still don't understand fully. Cheers .
In the magic section they are generally specified by radio and if they are 32a or 32b. You just need to look at the title of the thread or the OP will normally tell you when you read it.
This will work on both
Ginger yoshi 1.4 (android 2.3.5) for 32b and 32a old and new radio
And this will only work with the NR (New Radio 6.32.13.19) which is not compatible with the G1
(ROM)CM7.1(2.3.5)Sapphire32a(NR-6.35.16.19)
While this one is only good for Old Radio's and 32A
[ROM][32A][6.35] CGX-Magic 1.0.4 (Android 2.3.5) 5 September 2011

This page will tell you the differences in the Magic 32A/B, and how to tell which you have. The HTC Dream/T-mobile G1 uses the same 32B board as some Magics.
As the two boards are very similar, many newer ROMs are built to use an installation script to auto-detect which kernel to use (the boot.img), but the rest of the system will be identical. In the descriptions for the ROM, look for words like "auto kernel" or "EBI0/EBI1".
I recommend the Bananna Bread rom. Works with mine Flawlessly amazing, and based on CM i think
who helps?
can someone pls help me. i got a tmobile g1 and i need to upgrade but the old links dont work anymore. can someone tell me what to do and provide download links.
my current version is 1.0
rc29
spl 10.95.3000
radio 1.22.12.29
thanks in advance

So after i've just made an account and watched the i'm a noob video i thought this was a good place to ask the same question as the OP.
including some additional information and having a different setup:
So i've been reading topics in the G1 section all day, as well as googling and trying the cyanogen wiki(the G1 topics are gone ) and i've noticed most of the information in this forum was noted as: OUTDATED DO NOT TRY and or DOWNLOAD HERE with no actual files present.
This is my second attempt to actually dig into custom roms. (first time i got stuck on the rooting.... and well, 2 years ago i didn't think i would dare to continue but the current status is if it breaks i'll buy a new phone) however i'm attached to thisone and if i can have WhatsApp to be running on this mobile thats 100% my favorite option
So i found this really awesome root-tool (without the goldcardstuff required)
http://blog.23corner.com/tag/universalandroot/
but, whats the next step. apearently you can already get android 4.1 for the G1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29967613
That sounds nice, but i don't think it will be usefull.
So my actual question would be:
What do i really need to upgrade to a new ROM?
I've read a lot of roms will require you to upgrade the RADIO and STL and repartition the SD card etc etc but i'm not sure where to start looking.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301379
the absolute noob howto begin with custom roms contains links to megaupload (down obviously) so thats out of the window.
my current status:
rooted T-Mobile G1 (imported from germany so weird keyboardlayout (and i've seen a topic a while back on howto fix the layout but not sure if i can refind it or if the files are available for download) )
firmware: 1.6
build-number: DRC92
DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
What and where do i need to download/follow in order to upgrade my mobile in order to run a new ROM.
In my mind, it makes sence to take the oldest androidbuild witch has 2.1(so i can run Whatsapp) and well it will probably take less resources then 4.1?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364611
is it a good idea to take this rom? or would you suggest to take a newer version and if so wich rom should i pick and what do i need to do/download to get the RADIO and DANGERSTL to the correct versions?
Sorry for double posting, but i dug up some more info and questions maybe my new questions (and hopefully future reply's) will help the OP as well.
Makes me feel a bit more secure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655097 still not sure what to do in order to get a new ROM, and I would still like to know what is important to look for, I found this ROM bible http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668090 wich ranks the roms for speed and stability etc… but I still don’t really know why I should pick a specific one… http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622613 thisone seems to score nicely 5/5/4/5/2/5 also:
What do the DANGER SPL and RADIO upgrades meen/do actually?
Should I pick the direct matching ones, or is higher better?
Where do i get the correct upgrades anyone got some downloadlinks that actually work?
--
just noticed there WAS a downloadlink hidden in plainsight: http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/ would this work for my G1?? (since G1 and Dream where supposed to be the same thing? i'd just rather doublecheck before trying and failing)
--
after more re-reading and feeling confused about all the numbers i just noticed my radio number matches, but i have no clue about where to find what version of SPL i have... i did find this new page: http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/SPL wich mentions 3 versions for the SPL but again with yet a new name, where do you find what SPL you have? apearently i need DANGER SPL, but i don't know where i can find out what version i currently have...
--
found it:
G1 Original SPL
VER: HBOOT-0.95.0000 << apearently i have the original SPL, so the instructions tell me to update the RADIO FIRST then SPL, but my RADIO matches the number already ... still need to do that step then before upgrading to DANGER SPL?

Jan-N.. Hello buddy, I'm feeling your exact pain. I've rooted my G1 but looking to flash an updated ROM, so that I can upgrade it for my daughter to use (need to upgrade to put Cerberus Anti-Theft on it - for extra piece of mind). I've rooted and flashed so many phones now, but oh my god, this is such a pain to get sorted. I have the exact same details as your phone has... HBOOT, RADIO etc. I'm determined to get it sorted tonight though, and will let you know if I get anywhere. Let me know if you managed to get anywhere too.
UPDATE
..... gave up
Re: [Q] no working links to upgrade g1.
New links are up with a half complete guide in the general section, have a look
The rest should be finished soon
