[Q] Radio downgrade to install specific rom - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi a while back I modded my g1 with zxdonut 1.6.
for this rom it required having...
dream pvt 32b ship s-on
HBoot 1.33.0013d
cpld-4
radio-2.22.28.25
I was interested in flashing Biffmod which requires..
Radio Required: 2.22.23.02
SPL Required: Death SPL
Question: A) Can i downgrade my radio safely from 2.22.28.25 to 2.22.23.02 safely without fear of bricking (I searched a lot on this and couldn't find the answer)?
B) that HBoot is a danger/death spl right?
I'd really appreciate you guys pointing me in the right direction as I would like to use this rom, anybody who points out how to safely go from my 1.6 to this 2.1 will get a cookie lol.

Perfect SPL + 32B EBI1

Hi. So I got my HTC branded Dream two days ago. Things are going great but I'm getting the urge to mod. I seem to read different 'facts' everywhere. Also people use EBI1 and 32A interchangably. If you guys could could just tell me if I'm on the right track or about to kill my phone...
SPL states:
Dream PVT 32B SHip s-on d
HBOOT-1.33.0010 (DREA20000)
CPLD-4
radio-3.22.20.17
So thats a 32B board with a EBI1 radio with the perfect SPL.
To get to cyanogenMod 4.2.5 from stock:
1.) Install FlashRec 1.1.3
2.) Use to flash Cyanogen 1.4.32A recovery image (cm-recovery-1.4-32A.img)
3.) Boot to recovery and Flash normal Android 1.6 Recovery Image (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip)
4.) Flash CyanogenMod ROM (update-cm-4.2.5-signed.zip)
5.) Flash EBI1 radio port (bc-4.2.5a-ebi1-signed.zip)
Questions:
Is that right?
Will the phone will be rooted in the process?
Can I change to developer SPL .0005 safely?
Can use any theme for regular G1s?
Does this mean I have 288MB?
Thx
and....? did it work?
You have to be rooted to do all that first.
It'll work, but you'll need specific 32B/EBI kernels for the ROMS. And not all EBI patches are alike.
And no, it won't magically give you extra memory.

[Q] Which Rom to use for Rogers HTC dream 32B?

Can someone shade some light? I have a rooted HTC Dream from Rogers Canada showing the following information:
DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF
HBOOT- 1.33.2005 (DREA21000)
CPLD-4
RADIO-3.22.26.17

Now coming to downloading Rom images should I go with the one Compatible with:
HTC Dream (32a): RogersDream, Vodafone Dream or HTC Dream (32b): T-Mobile G1 / HTC ADP1
Please note mine has 32b board.
A) there is no such thing as a 32a dream
B) the radio determines the memory layout ebi0 for 1.x and 2.x radios, ebi1 for 3.x radios, nothing else works on a dream at this point in time
C) magic32a devices where the first with the ebi1 radio/kernel so many of the ebi1 roms are called 32a (the 32a radio does allow access to the extended memory on a 32a magic, however this is impossible on 32b magic/dreams due to the lack of phyisical ram)
D) you can switch to a 2.x radio with fastboot, only thimg to note: it may not be calabrated as well for 2g networks and if you are a rogers customer you may need to call to retain your data if the online wavier fails
Note use of recovery to flash a 2.x radio will brick your phone so don't do it that way.
As for what should you install, if there is no radio or spl in the upgrade.zip it will not brick your phone, if its for the wrong radio type it will not boot.. thus you need ebi1 roms unless you use fastboot to install an ebi0 radio.

I just dusted off my Rogers Dream and I'm running exactly what you posted above on CyanogenMod 6.0.0-DS.
I noticed your signature states Ginger Yoshi now for the Dream, what did you do or instructions did you follow?

Your SPL is the HBOOT number you got. The ROM you are trying to flash doesn't specify any specific SPL but the generally recommended SPLs are Danger SPL, or the newer SPL in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
