my problem is do i root my phone, install jf rc33 then jf adp 1.5 then radio and spl
after that can i flash cyans revovery and jachero or is there a certain o r d e r ?

1. Root
2. Install JF RC33 <optional, but better?>
3. Install Jf ADP1.5 <optional, but better?>
4. Install cyan recovery
5. Install new radio
6. Check that you have PVT board in bootloader (camera+power)
7. If you don't stop right here, if you do install new spl
8. Flash ROM of choice
9. Verify you have new spl by going to bootloader - should be SPL: 1.33.2005

If 9. Doesn't show the proper SPL, flash the SPL but reboot by pressing Home + Back in recovery
After it reboots, you need to flash the ROM of your choice. INSTALLING THE RADIO BEFORE THE NEW SPL IS VITAL!!

There is no guarantee as those with PVT boards have bricked their device as well. But the chance of it breaking are significantly lower. I'm not saying this to scare you, but to give you an informed choice. I personally have done it twice on my device with no problems, so it shouldn't be a problem if you follow all the instructions (maybe watch a video of someone doing it so you are sure).

The new spl gives you more room so you can install a hero build which requires more space.

Help flashing SPL, Radio and a Hero ROM to a HTC Dream?

Hey all,
I have a HTC Dream that has the following setup:
"Android on Skateboards" SPL
Maxishma's OS Build (4/Aug/09)
512MB Apps2SD EXT2 Partition
32MB Swap Partition
I'm thinking of installing this build on my HTC Dream, but it says something about needing a new SPL and Radio. I didn't want to risk bricking my phone, so I wanted to ask the community first.
On bootloader mode, I get the following:
DREA110 PVT 32B
HSPL10.95.3000
CPLD-4
RADIO-1.22.12.29
Oct 20 2008
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In the radio and SPL flashing guide, it said something about it having to be DREA100 or something. I wasn't sure.
Could someone please guide me the steps? I'm eager to try some of the Hero builds, and I'm just wanting to play it safe and not end up with a brick.
Thanks in advance,
Coburn64.

you have a pvt board so you should be good as long as you follow directions and FLASH RADIO BEFORE SPL. mayble one more time for the people in the brick seats. thats radio before the spl. but i digress. you should be all set as far as phone requirements. just make sure to read up on it so that you know all the steps and you to can run hero.

Yep just like David said your phone meets the requirements but read and reread before you do anything. Radio first then spl. And after you load spl you will have to flash a new rom cause the spl overwrites your existing rom. Just to let you know so your not freaked out.

Thanks for all the tips and info! I'll try this tonight and report back with any problems.
I've done a nandroid backup as well, does it save all your emails/contacts, etc?
Thanks again.

Nand saves your exact image including emails/contacts/messages?app settings. It will not save anything that's on your SD card so if you format your card you will need to re-download everything.
Good luck

Need some help please

Hello I have a mytouch3g with CM 4.2.10.1. Both my radio and SPL are the stock ones.
Now, I want to flash my Perfect SPL to a Non perfect one.
First of all can someone FINALLY explain to me what a non perfect SPL will do for me?
And can someone please epxplain WHICH SPL to use and a step by step guide on how to flash it? i dont want to brick my phone . I HAVE googled this and have found guides for G1 and 32A but not for mytouch (32B)
Also im not sure if this is where to post but because Dream Dev forums also server as Magic 32B forums Im going out on a limb here lol
Again any help would be appreciated!

as long as you are running CM rom you don't need to flash/update spl

... wat if i want to try another rom?
can you please not reply 'you dont need it' and instead reply what the benefits are and how to flash it?
thanks!

The reason you flash a new SPL is so that you can use different ROMs that need it. Unless you want to switch from Cyanogen then there isn't a reason to flash a new SPL. If you want to flash Haykuro's SPL (A.K.A "Death" SPL) then here are my instructions.
1. Make sure you have a custom recovery.img like Amon-Ra's or Cyan's
2. Download the new radio and Haykuro's SPL from here. http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
Also download whatever new ROM you want to try out that uses the new SPL. Put those 3 .zips onto your SD card.
3. Put your phone into recovery and make a Nand Backup, just in case.
4. FLASH THE RADIO FIRST!!! IF YOU FLASH THE SPL BEFORE THE RADIO THEN YOUR PHONE WILL BRICK!!!
5. Flash the SPL.
6. Flash your new ROM.
Yes, exactly in that order, and yes, you have to flash a new ROM or reflash the one you're using.
BTW, I am not responsible if you brick your phone.

what about flashing custom splash images?
and yes i do want to try some other roms

Those you'll need fastboot for, and a fastboot-enabled spl (i.e. Haykuro spl). There are very nice guides in the theme section on what you'll need and how to do it

Since you said you're on a T-Mobile MyTouch 3G you might want to check out this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019
Using an SPL file for the dream, like you've been linked to in a previous post could quite possibly brick you're phone.
CyanogenMod work's on both Dream's & Sapphires but not all associated fies for theese phone are interchangeable, solely based on the fact that the ROM you're using is.
My best advice to you would be to browse the Sapphire threads before going any further with you're mod's

woot flashed my SPL to 1.33.2005 and it worked like a charm! also flashed my splash image.
jsut one question: on my bootloader screen the SPL says H, instead of G. My stock perfect SPL said G. I know H stands for HTC SPL and G is the Google SPL, but what is the difference in functionality?

Did you flash the radio?
Haykuro SPL allows larger roms to be installed(i feel like a broken record repeating this) that's all you need to know the other details arent necessary to know.

no i did not flash the radio? why, do i need to?

You didnt mention you had the 26I radio, nevermind then thought you had a older one. Also you should have said your using mt3g since it doesnt need the radio.

i did say i have a mt3g its in my original post
im so confused. I KNOW i didnt brick my phone causei m already booted into cyanogen mod and definatly NOT bricked.
so wat the hell is going on????
why is my letter changed from a G to an H? what does this mean to me?

Nothing. you didnt brick, i got you confused with someone else that asked about help with rooting.
You dont need to worry about the stuff in bootloader its from the SPL upgrade.

then why did my letter change from a G to an H?
should i flash something else?
im freaking out right now !

Do you mean in fastboot?
Its suppose to change...
I dont understand why your so concerned with that, its should say Hboot.
Sapphire/Magic/Ion/MT3G roms are here, some G1 roms work though
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=493

what?? No everything works i can load into bootloader, change from Hboot mode to fastboot mode, i can boot into my ROM (cyanogen 4.2.10.1) and everything seems to be working.
to clarify: in bootloader, on top it it used to show me (on stock perfect SPL) SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-ON G
now it shows me (on danger SPL) SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
the G changed to an H
I have read that the H stands for an HTC SPL and G stands for Google SPL. Since the stock SPL was google and I changed to HTC is this going to cause any problems? and was it suppose to change to an H in the first place or did i do something wrong??

You didnt say that though, i was unsure of what you meant. You see that SPL is from the HTC Magic which has the H not G. It suppose to show H. That is the HTC SPL not the standard google one shiiped w/ google experience phones .

i understand that but does this affect my Mytouch 3g (which is a google phone) in any way?

i think i bricked my g1.help needed

i have a t mobile g1 bought it yesterday from a friend,i downgraded it to rc 29 and flashed it with hardspl and recovey "recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img" then i flashed rc 33 and tried to flash another spl called danger spl i think. now i cant get in recovery and icant see the bootloader screen ?

Why do you think it's called danger spl? Wouldn't it have been a good idea to read everything you could possibly find about something titled "danger" before flashing it? Lesson learnt I hope.

Problem with G1 rooted

Hi everybody
I rooted a G1, I downgrade it with 29RC, then I made the installation of the recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0 following the flashed the radio (G1-radio-2_22_23_02 and the spl (Latest G1 SPL). I used the 1.6 DRD 3611745 test-keys rooted firmware.
Everything is working well, but when I try to install a firmware as update-cm-6.0.0-DS-RC3-signed, Chromatic 4.4 or extreme-froyo an error showed:
Code:
getprop("ro.bootloader")=="1.33.2011" II ( this message is repeated on the G1)
E:Error in /sdcard/update-cm-6.0.0-DS-RC3-signed (Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Also I tried to update it with update-cm-5.0.7-DS-test3-signed and it was accepted but it does not boot, it stay with the G1 logo.
What could be wrong?, I restore with my rooted backup (1.6) and it work again without problems.
Your comments with be appreciated.

Since no one else has answered I'll give it a try. The 1.33.2011 bootloader line sounds fishy on a G1. What does the actual bootloader screen say? (Camera+Power startup)

Thank you oldnoob for the response. Well it looks like this:
Code:
DREA100 PVT 32B
CLPD-4
RADIO-2.22.23.02
Oct 20 2008

Ok what he is mainly asking you is in bootloader you see the spl. That's what he's saying looks fishy. The rest of what you got looks ok. So tell him what spl your reading in bootloader. And what your bootloader looks like.

Thank you, the spl read as follow:
HSPL10.95.3000

Ok well you know you flashed the radio if it says 2.22.23.02. You have the pvt goin on. So now for the scary part. 1.33.2005 danger spl. As long as you have that radio your good. But make sure ya hear me!!!! When you flash rc29 it will downgrade that radio. So you have to reflash it. BEFORE danger spl 1.33.2005
Good luck may the force be with you!!!
sent from superfroyo dream

So just make sure you go into bootloader holding camera+power button together. Make sure you have radio 2.22.23.02 then you may flash the 1.33.2005 danger spl. Then when you go back into bootloader you'll see the new spl. And the bootloader will have three android skateboarders on it. Then you know your good. And then boot recovery. Wipe. Flash the rom .zip from sdcard. See the problem your having is the spl you have right now. Can't handle the size of the rom your trying to flash.

Thank you very much, that was the problem as I see I used a wrong spl. But when I hold the camera+power button together I have the three android skateboard on it. Right now I have the G1 with the 1.6 version rooted. In order to make it works for future firmware versions I will need to unroot the G1 with downgrade it again to the RC29, then downgrade the original radio and spl and start from scratch. Or only reflash the new radio and reflash spl but using the danger version.
PD
This G1 is not my is from a friend, but compared with my G1 and it has the danger spl, I will need to reflash the danger spl to my friends' G1.

Why you guys want to install always DangerSPL? It's never needed, there are much more flexible and more secure ways to get enough space for FroYo-ROMs.
Only my 2 cent.

Andisa has a point. Not super needed anymore. But its just what I run. And once you got it the first time. No headache or chances after that. But no when you change roms you do not need to go and do that all over again to answer your question. So now if you have the proper radio and spl. You installed a custom recovery. Now go ahead put zip file on sd wipe and flash. You should be good to go.

In my own G1, I have the danger spl installed too and never have had any problems with it, in this case, when I was flashing this G1 I knew that I was using the last radio but when I was ready to flash the spl I saw that I had two versions, the Latest G1 SPL, and haykuro_new_spl-signed.
I had selected the Lastest G1, After that I flashed with the last roms mentioned above and here I am trying to fix this. All the ways, the 1.6 is running smooth. Thank you for all and I am very happy to all your help.

No problem. I'm glad we got it working for ya
