Question about upgrading SPL

Hi, I currently have the 3.22.20.17 radio on my phone. If I follow the guide to root the Rogers Dream I will have to upgrade to haykuro's SPL with this radio. I have read that people have bricked their phones if they don't have the correct radio when upgrading the SPL. Am I ok to do this or could I brick my phone?
Thanks

If you goto haykuro's thres "rogers, here's your real root" the first line has a link to somones guide to flashing the spl. Follow that and you should be good.

Thanks for the reply. I was just wondering if it was correct that I am supposed to be starting out with the 3.22.20.17 radio for this guide.

Actually it's 2.22.19.26I

So I am supposed to have the 2.22.19.26I radio already? Remember that I have a Canadian Rogers Dream.

Follow what Haykuro's thread says (Rogers=probably not the 2.22.19.26I, you may brick your phone if you try the regular G1 root SPL method) . If you want to be safe, you can reflash the radio that haykuro posted

I'm sorry, I should have asked if the 3.22.20.17 radio is compatible with haykuro's latest SPL.

No it is not. You need to follow the guide exactly, I believe that you the stock Rogers radio. So just follow it and you should be set.

That guide gets you to flash the SPL before the radio and that SPL isn't compatible with my radio? Won't that brick it?

The radio's for rogers are completely different from the G1's
You may want to try and PM Haykuro because I do not see a clear cut answer

I sent him a PM but I haven't recieved a reply yet.
Could someone that has rooted their Roger's Dream help me out with this?

Can someone please tell me if I need to upgrade my radio on my Roger's phone before I start following the guide or will it be fine? I am asking because the first thing guide says to do is upgrade the SPL. I just want to be really sure that having the 3.22.20.17 radio and haykuro's SPL together won't brick my phone.

Rooting a HTC Dream without applying another ROM

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.
My current phone info:

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 have a question for you. did you flash another radio before doing the "danger spl"
i ask because the radio you have is also the stock radio for rogers

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.

update radio = bricked?!?!?! please help!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I rooted my phone using the "one click" root method (from standard Rogers 1.5 firmware) (http://zenthought.org/system/files/a...1-20090908.apk) and then updated to the latest radio:
•2.22.19.26I
•Baseband Version: 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
•http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecod..._22_19_26I.zip
I initiall got the box with the arrow then the phone continued to the Rogers boot screen and has been stuck there for 20 minutes at least! So i took out the battery and turned it back on again and it get stuck on the Rogers screen still!
Have I bricked it!?! I thought you can only brick it when you update the SPL ... all I did was update the radio. Please HELP!
If it helps I was following the instructions step by step from: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/how...page=0,2
according to the cyanogen guide I bricked my phone:
2.Be very careful of any upgrade or mod instructions that require you to install an HTC "Recovery" zip/image, a replacement radio, or anything that might cause a difference of versions thereby bricking your phone.
eg: you currently have an EBI1 system and recovery image. If you boot an EBI0 radio image you will no longer be able to boot your phone.

Thanks in advance.
P.S. to clarfiy every button combination I press comes up with the Rogers boot screen. Unless I'm a complete idiot and am not pressing the buttons correctly I don't see how I can fix the phone if it won't boot! I though bricked phones are totaly duds (eg. they don't turn on/no charging lights...)

see if you can get it recovery mod? (home+end)

The main cause of bricks is using an SPL that is incompatible with the IPL (radio), hence it is possible not only to brick by changing the SPL, but also by changing the IPL.

Not a chance.
If all he did was change the IPL, then the ONLY cause for it doing locking as it is, is that the SPL is not compatible with that IPL. It is, therefore, bricked.

I didnt think that radio was compatible with the rogers phones, i thought that they had to use the 3.22.20.17 radio?

if so that could be the cause of your brick!

Wow.... perhaps you should chill a little, these are Q&A forums, the purpose of which is to educate and help, not just baffle people with terms that its doubtful that they have heard before.
You'll see that i linked back to the thread that details everything that they should be to know not to make the mistake again, and anyone else that does a search will find it as well.

The rogers dream is compatiable with either radio. You just need your recovery/kernel version to match your radio version. The 2.22.19.26I radio needs 32B and 3.22.20.17 needs 32A recovery/kernel.
He needs to reflash the 3.22.20.17 radio then complete the rogers dream rooting guide on the cm wiki.

[Q] After flashing stock (1.6) android, stuck on t-mobile G1 screen

After trying some custom roms I decided to flash back to stock one from Era GSM (network provider that branded and released the fw). However, I got stuck on T-Mobile G1 logo. The firmware was in flashable zip.
On Polish android forums I was told that I have wrong radio and spl and that another thing that may interfere is custom-MTD recovery. SPL is 1.33.0013d, radio is 2.22.27.08.
How do I flash correct SPL, radio and recovery without bricking the phone?
Or maybe there somewhere is Polish locale for DreamTeam froyo or Froyo Melt? Then the problem won't exist

If you didn't already bricked your G1 (sound like you did if you can't get into the fastboot)
Follow the instruction from ezTerry, link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139&highlight=2708

Recovery works. I don't know about fastboot.
I already have the radio and hboot mentioned in thread you linked to. So basically the only thing that I have wrong is MTD-recovery. Does flashing only Amon_Ra recovery will make android 1.6 boot?

That, I am not sure.

any reason you were going back to stock? there are many options to get you back there, which i could help you with but im just curious why you want to go back to aosp1.6?

Help!!

I just rooted my phone. Baseband Version 62.33.20.08H_1.22.12.29

After rooting my i tried fastbooting by holding camera and all i can i see is

CPLD-4
RADIO-1.22.12.29
then below it is Seria10
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
