HELP! ROgers Dream on T-Mo radio!

OK, I dont know how I managed to do this. But I have a rogers dream and here is what happened.
I rooted it, no problems.
Used it for a few days, great.
Saw a fellow with a dream theme that I wanted to install, so I applied the update.zip. Ooops! Not it won't boot past htc display.
Try wipe data from recovery and reload. Now wont boot past Rogers flash screen.
found what I thought was a Rogers Firmware dump/restore. Flashed it, OH OH Now I have a fully T-Mo G1 branded dream without 3G.
Got it up and running now, on that firmware. But I need to do 2 things:
No root. all the "tenetd"ing is not doing anything, I run commands and when I try to get to recovery I get and explanation point and phone image. (I do have R29)
No Rogers original DREAIMG.nbh with the radio.
HELP! I want to get this phone to the beginning and I am at a loss. Usually I would get rogers to replace, but the boot screen now has the T-Mo G1 boot. So that wont work.
I'm used to flashing WinMo left right and center. but I'm almost admitting defeat!

Try the new rooting method from Haykuro - It's in the dev section.
It should fix your problems ;-)
Here you go!

Thanks, got this thing rooted now. It's just a matter of getting the Rogers DREAIMG.NBH
I can now flash a roger custom rom, its the radio that needs to be put back because of the 850/1900 3G bands as opposed to the 1700 that this radio is looking for.

So your saying it's possible to run 3G on the Rogers network with a T-Mobile G1?

That's extremely odd because I flashed my T-Mobile G1 with a Rogers radio and I now have a $400 brick and a new Rogers dream lol. So I wouldn't try it until we find a way to unbrick these damn things....

Other way around. I have a Rogers G1 (850/1900 3G) and accidentally flashed it with TMo G1 V1.0 firmware. I thought it war Rogers Original, not Original as in first ever!
Anyway, got the radio from another Post, but I can not flash ANY rom and have it boot past the 2nd splash screen.
I now have a custom restore, fast boot, even a splash screen. But the only combo that makes this thing functional is to:
Flash with Dream RC29 DREAIMG.NBH
Install telnet and root it
Update the radio rom.
Boom, have 1.0 with 3G on Rogers! But that means I dont have all the cupcake updates (A2DP, Exchange, Video, etc etc)
And all because I wanted a bloody theme!
ALMOST makes me miss jailbreaking iPhones and loading custom WinMo! Almost!

So what's the problem then? You have RC29 + root, just install proper radio, bootloader, and custom firmware (in that order) from the rogers root thread. YOU'RE PRACTICALLY DONE! The radio firmware HAS NO EFFECT on the available 3G bands.

got it firgured
Your right, I loaded the latest radio, cyan's recovery, Spl 1.33, oem updated radio, and now running the palm pre-like theme (been through soooo many getting this running, I forget who wrote this one. Props to you). And now I'm typing from my restored dream.
Apologies if I sounded ignorant. But I have never played with this system or unix. I only installed and tried ubuntu 6 months ago and gave up. But a little trial and error and I'm getting there.
My final recovery procedure! Thank you for everyones help with their efforts on each part. And to allow me to create this frankenstien software bundle.
This is a summery, if someone wants me to write up a detailed how to let me know.
Root rogers original rom
Re-flash dreaimg.nbh from g1
When you boot up, you will only have edge. That's ok for now. Once your at the sign in screen. Hit menu, add apn. Now you can edit an existing or create new. Rogers settings : name: rogers. Apn: internet.com. username: wapuser1. Password: wap. Fido. Name: fido. Apn: internet.fido.ca. username & password are both fido. Set this as your default connection.
After you set up you account, download and install telnet from market. After this reboot (don't know if necessary, but it worked for me)
Follow the rooting instructions for the original G1. Not the rogers one.
Once done, go to the htc website and install/update to the latest radio. When you boot, you now have 3G!
Now update spl
Update recovery to cyan's
Now you can install any rom for the g1. As long as you do a wipe before! Very important. No rom has booted if this wasn't done before applying the update.zip, and everytime I had to start again.
This will change your splash screen to the TMo one, and I have not found the rogers original one. So if you do this, rogers will imediately know when you need warranty exchanges done. So I take no responsibility. It worked for me on mine, I won't promise it'll work on yours.
Oh, before I had started I did a nandroid back up. But everytime I tried to restore it, it would stop the boot at the first splash screen. So you can, but don't think it'll work for going back. Sorry.

Rogers original splash screen
From the HTC dream
I don't think it will kill your phone... but don't blame me
I just got it from a nandroid backup.

I have a similar situation:
I accidentally installed RC29 on my Rogers HTC Dream. I can tell when put a DREAIMG.NBH on the MicroSD card that it is trying to load it (when I boot to the Rainbow boot screen it first reads: "loading...", then it says: "Checking..." and finally: "Not Allow"). If I don't have a DREAMIMG.NBH file on the card it doesn't do that.
So, I'm guessing that what I need to do is find a DREAIMG.NBH that my phone WILL allow (or some other file that I don't know about - I've tried update.zip, boot.img and recovery.img and the "loading..." message just flicks on and off quickly). Could someone PLEASE tell me what I need to do to fix my issue?
Also, I can't boot the OS. I get to the welcome/setup screen but it won't let me proceed because it can't connect to the network to login to my Google account. So currently I can't boot either.

hell i would even be willing to ship this to someone that could fix it for me....

[Q] [SOLVED!] Rogers HTC Dream, change over to EBI0--clear up some misinformation

My phone is missing calls and texts, and about every 3 hours the phone part stops working. I've seen a bunch of comments from Rogers users that say their data goes down, and I've heard it's due to the radio. I think my phone goes down as well because on Telus, they don't have a GSM network so both data and voice/text is going through the 850/1900. I *think* that's what UMTS means; I could be mistaken.
So, after a lot of research, I think what I want to do is install a 2.xx radio on my phone, which means going from EBI1 to EBI0. MY QUESTIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Does going EBI1 -> EBI0 by changing the radio to 2.22.23.02 change the radio frequencies? As in, will I still be able to connect to TELUS or is it going to change it to the 1700/2100 range? My research tells me NO but I wanted to double-check.
2. Am I going to lose 15MB of ram by making the switch?
3. I don't know what the correct sequence of stuff to make the switch is. From what I can tell, I've been told to use fastboot ONLY to do this switch:
a. Nandroid backup through amon-ra 1.7.0R
b. Flash 2.22.23.02 through amon-ra
c. Flash amon-ra 1.7.0 non-R verson
d. Install (e.g.) Cyanogen 6.1 again, but don't do the EBI1 kernel this time.
Reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6136326
Does that all look correct?
4. Maybe I can just go with this exact sequence?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
Can I use my current SPL to do the flashing or should I start by changing over?
I've got a Rogers HTC Dream, running the latest Cyanogen 6.1, unlocked on TELUS' UMTS/HSDPA network (850/1900). From the FASTBOOT screen:

Thanks, from a clueless android newbie!
P.S. I think (?) this is my first post here, at least on the android side of the fence, so hi all!

So I took the plunge and did this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
Of course, learning the following:
1. Careful means I don't brick my phone;
2. I was GAINING ~10MB of ram, not losing it, and
3. If I still get disconnects, it's either faulty hardware or TELUS' fault at this point.
Thanks for a great forum!

I am convinced it is the hardware. I had a magic at first with no connection problems, I traded someone for a Dream and have nothing but issues. Frustrating...

Um.. can't say for your phone.. but most people have 3g issues with 3.22.26.17 ... 3.22.20.17 and 2.22.28.25 are usually fine.. (well rogers policy of terminating your data plan aside on the theory it fixes the e911 bug in rogers original firmare [has nothing to do with the radio version its just what they use to check you have upgraded, actual bug was in the android java code].. but op left them for telus who will advise the customer update to a firmware w/o the bug.. but isn't checking what is installed on the end user's 3rd party phone)
I'm just not sure how well e911 works if you use 3g with 3.22.26.17 and lost network without the phone knowing.. at the very least it must take a long while to connect as it re-establishes the connection.. but as htc/rogers has not fixed it they are either not getting complaints, blaming it on the old version. Or everyone using it is stuck on 2g anyway since they want inbound calls to work.. thus bypassing the e911 part of the issue.. but making rogers "fast network" look very slow.I

Wow what a coincidence, I was going to post in this thread your Offical AOSP 2.2 rom because it is what i've been using for the past week with zero issues. I have decent 3g now with no disconnections!

[Q] Got HTC Dream - learn 2 put CM6? on it.

Hi guys and girls,
First of all here's a little bit background:
I always liked Nokia (GSM's!). My first mobile was Alcatel OT Easy db if i'm not mistaken. After that i had several Nokia's. And then for many years i have used Sharp GX25. While i was using it, GSM world has quite changed. The only GSM i saw like perfect (because of the small size) was Modu mobile at the time. But i couldn't get it anywhere. And the iPhone is like cool. But to bulky for a GSM and to expensive for a thing to call with. When the battery of the GS25 died completely i was thinking how am i going to choose now? ^^ The only thing that i liked was Modu mobile but i couldn't get it anywhere. I don't really cared a lot about some features and so on. Because to get into choosing a phone now, to choose wisely, best for the money, is like spending so much time..
I'm often sending sms to a group of like 20 people. So i bought LG Neon. First cheapest full keyboard gsm i came across. I was thinking you know, Nokia is like the best ever, or has been for me, but i have to give something else a chance. Although i liked the full keyboard it was a really bad experience. But i learned something. So after that i remembered, that i was thinking sometimes, if iPhone was a little bit smaller and cheaper i would buy it. But then i accidentally realized. There are so many ideas you can google. Lets try, cheaper iPhone alternative. So i found Nokia Tube (5800, second hand). I pretty liked it - cheap, compact, a lot of features. I discovered mobile email/gps/sip telephony!/calendar/touchscreen and other nice features of a smartphone. Symbian (Nokia) was still good for me. So now i became kind of accustomed to this nice features. But Tubes touchscreen wasn't really great ether. So i was looking out for some other, more advanced, full keyboard/touchscreen smartphone. Not necessary touch screen, but anyway, it would be nice. So for some time i have been looking on a second hand sites to get a second hand blackberry. Because after researching the question of mobile Emailing i came to a conclusion that Blackberry is the best in it. And even that Blackberry is maybe like the best smartphone of all because of user friendliness, design maybe, and a technological advancement. Like the Mac in a PC world. As i see on the video reviews Blackberry's interface looks more text based would i say. What in my eyes is perfect for a smartphone. I don't see a lot of sense in bells and whistles, or how is it said then in actual information. But!
About not mobile experiences:
It's already for a view years that i am using Linux on my desktop. Since the time when i have got the GX25 i guess. Because i have been quite interested in IT from when i was younger. And now later i already became IT professional and run some Linux servers to. And even my Mac Mini at home runs Linux. I find Mac OS X amusingly technologically advanced, easy to use, user friendly and all that. But i cant install it on my workstation and a laptop at work. So that's the practical reason i choose Fedora over any other OS. No fanaticism here. Because i'm Christian and i believe in Jesus Christ. Because from His words in Bible i learned, or got at least some kind of understanding of what is love actually. So i don't have to be religious about Mac or Linux.
The funny thing actually is, i have used Gnome 3 now for a view month already on Fedora. And a view days ago installed Lion on a Mac. Wow, they already put all the Gnome 3's features in Lion, like first Spaces and now Mission control and Launchpad. ^^
Now, closer to the business - CM6? Dream:
So finally i was thinking, what else can i get, then android. I actually nearly bought Blackberry 8520 pretty cheap. But G1 compared to it has GPS and AutoFocus. And it runs Linux *thumbs up* \o/
Now, when i got the package from Netherlands view days ago. The guy have put CyanogenMod 6 on it for me. But after a day of use i discovered that when you call to me you go straight to voice mail. And i pretty liked CyangenMod's interface although i had an idea, from youtube videos that Hero rom would be nicer(visually). Google apps were not installed ether. So i googled a little bit. And At some places they said that you have to install google apps. But it didn't work. I tried installing it, but always got message about making recovery backup. And then after reboot still no Gapps installed. The phone came with a sd card with cyanogenmod rom on it and two hero roms. Off course before buying it, i already searched for some info. And went to CM wiki. And first questions that arised for me were: how do i determine which radio does the phone has? When i emailed this question to a guy from who i bought the phone he said that someone else has put Hero on it for him. So before he sent it to me he had put CM6 on it. This is i think where the trouble with calling is from. So i played a day with CM6. And using the ROM manager have put Hero on it back. Because seeing video reviews i thought it looked cooler. But now i have an impression, while using Hero rom, like CM6 was better. Like more tweaks and so on. So another question: What are actually benefits of CM6 compared to Hero rom, and vice versa? And the other question is: How do i put CM6 back? Because i don't find ROM manager in the menu anymore. Do i have to install it again? And by the way. I have made a recovery backup when rom manager asked me to do it while trying to install gapps. But doesn't matter a lot i guess. Because people couldn't call me there anyway. And here on Hero it works. I ask myself does the firmware for radio sit in the rom or not? (Ohh, and i actually just realised something, rereading the post here, and checking for errors. Would the radio rom be something like phones bios? And ROM like phones os?)
And also i'm confused a little bit about the process of flashing now. On the wiki i read bout installing DangerSPL and so on. But i have put Hero now just using ROM manager. Has it become easier or how does it work today? Also i ask myself which CM version is like optimal for Dream? To get some nice features but not getting to slow? I guess it would be 6 right?
Okay, hopefully someone can share some knowledge with me about all that rom flashing thing. Or point me to the right direction. Where to start reading.
Thanks in advance,
Sincerely yours,
Nikolai

DangerSPL
Hi agane,
The guy from who i bought the phone told me that i have to flash in this order:
-Wipe cache/data
-Install zip: de gewenste ROM
-Install zip: Google apps tiny
-Install zip: DangerSPL
But i havent done DangerSPL. Does it matter?

given that u already are running danger spl,u neednt flash it again, unless u upgrade ur radio and have to flash the corresponding spl....

ok thanks
Ok thanks, that's what i was thinkig.

Froyo by Lazslo
Hi guys,
im back to hacking ^^
well since i work and do alot other things i just bought a Blackberry 9780 and hapily used it all the time since i last posted here. And device is great. I like it alot. There was just a little issue i tought would be nice if it could be fixed. So i asked the retailer i bought it from to send it to BB. The stuttering keyboard is it. Google if u wanna know.
So now. Since i had blackberry i havent used Dream anymore. But back in the time i last posted here the sales guy who sold me the BB had a Dream to. And he advised me to use the Froyo by Lazslo. So now after a view month im back at Dream. I actually pretty havent used it alot.
So now i took my Dream and flashed the froyo by lazslo on it. The slp and radio numbers u can see in my previous post. So not i got the G1 logo at boot and the phone isnt booting. I suppose i did not good just flashing it. Because spl and radio numbers mentioned in the froyo by lazslo thread are not the same as mine. But i thought ok lets try. Wiped and installed the froyo by lazslo rom. And now have G1 logo. Well if i push camera button when booting i get into fast boot.
But can i push some combination to get into recovery to flash for example atleast cgm that atleast worked for me? TO get back to working state? Or what can i do now further to get froyo by lazslo running on it? Does the G1 logo means its bricked or not? Because dont know really? Have googled and found that theres posibility to do something via cmd. Any more info on this?
I google further, but dont have alot of time,
Thanks in advance,
Nikolai

good found something
i see that i had to have the ecsactly spl and radio mentioned in froyobylazslo thread
now gonna search how i install them,
because i got the phone with them already installed

not brickked - fixed
oh, good, got it fixed,
have pushed power and home button not long enough before,
so now after getting into the recovery flashed cgm 6 back on it. and its working

There is no need to unroot and start from the beginning. I suggest you to learn how to use fastboot and then read in Terry's 2708 thread how to do the update.
Another hint: After you are on the "new" SPL/radio combo you should check twice whether the ROM you want to install supports this combo, otherwise you will stuck on the G1 screen ...

this
Hi,
the guy here explains some things,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYg3UmQd5y4
what if i download the radio and spl that i need for froyobylazslo and update them the same way thee guy in the video did. Is it gonna work?
p.s. it looks the link u gave is definitive place aboout that but its difficult to follow

On the first look it probably looks difficult, but if you want to root your phone, install unsupported radio and SPL on it, then it's worth to invest some time to learn a bit more of this topic. Otherwise, if you do something wrong or you follow a guide which doesn't comply to your current "configuration" of the phone , risks are high, that it will get bricked. Just my 0.02 cents.

back
hi all,
im back to mess with it a littlebit,
I installed Anroid SDK, and now i want to start flashig via fastboot as described in the link posted above.
But i dont get how do i start a CMD. Just starting CMD and writing for example fastboot devices in CMD doesnt do anything.
Any suggestions please?
And yes im googling to.
Thanks,
Nikolai

First you need to connect your phone to your PC by USB and get it recognized. You can check that by opening a command line window on your pc and typing
adb devices
if your phone is in "normal" or in recovery mode. You should also check whether you enabled "USB Debugging" in Menu -> Settings -> Development.
You should get a list with your device.
To check fastboot, your phone needs to be in fastboot mode. Switch off and reboot by back-Button pressed. In this case the phone gets into the hboot screen.
Now you can type
fastboot devices
on the command line and if your phone gets recognized, you will see it in the list printed on the screen. If it is not recognized directly and serial0 is printed on the phone's screen, try to press the back button. Then "fastboot" should be written on the screen and you can re-try whether your phone will be recognized.

figured
ok i figured that i had to download the fastboot file mentioned here
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot
And the system variable path needed to be configured right.
now i dont have dll error but fastboot devices doesnt show anything,
adb devices does

To check fastboot, your phone needs to be in fastboot mode. Switch off and reboot by back-Button pressed. In this case the phone gets into the hboot screen.
Now you can type
fastboot devices
on the command line and if your phone gets recognized, you will see it in the list printed on the screen. If it is not recognized directly and serial0 is printed on the phone's screen, try to press the back button. Then "fastboot" should be written on the screen and you can re-try whether your phone will be recognized.

spoofspl?
Do i have also to do this?
> A Rom (note: many cm6 based roms block install because of the '1.33.0013d' bootloader Please use firerat's SpoofSPL)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9068311&postcount=84

Depends, what you want to do. Normally this spoofing is needed only when you want to install a ROM which officially isn't supported, but you know that it is runnig with your SPL. Especially when using cMTD you change the partition layout and some ROMs check with the SPL whether the ROM fits into the system partition or not.

[Q] Al little direction...

OK here it is. My G1 is currently on version. 1.0 (RC29) stock recovery as well. i have been scanning the forums here and keep finding info with broken links and pages that say they are out dated. Can someone here post me a few links to some current info on rooting and installing a froyo rom (gingerbread was too laggy) the part that seems to get me lost is all the radio, spl, and recovery menu options out there and after 3 attempts at rooting and installing a new rom last night all i could get the phone to do was hang at the g1 screen. so now im back to stock on the phone and will wait on some help before i attempt this again. I used this site to root and hack back when i used the phone for PSFreedom, but it wasnt as cluttered with info overload.
The phone is:
T-Mobile G1 US
Firmware 1.0
PS I already installed Telnet but thats as far as I have gone. And if you can point me to a Froyo rom that is stable and runs without lag I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

ok this guide is easy to follow... [Guide] (8-18-11) G1 How-to: Root, Un-Root & Everything in-between
just folow instructions and i will help you along the way if you need it

ok i did the wipes and everything in the first step but when i get to the google sign in screen the phone shows no signal (usually 4 bars where i am) so i cant get past the google screen to do the next step.

wait you said you were on 1.0 already? so which file did you flash the update.zip? and you cant sign on..?
thats just the update to 1.5 so im not sure why you would have no signal...

no idea either its rooted though i have tried a few roms so far.
GINGERBREAD-DS-Beta-20110716 (hangs at G1 Screen)
cos-ds =07182011 (makes it as far as the bluish android logo and then loops)
will the 1.5 update work with the hboot0013d and the 2708 radio?
when i flashed the 1.5 update (as in the guide) it made it to the google sign in screen and wouldnt let me by, so i reflashed the 1.0 file and got my service back restarted the guide and skipped the 1.5 update the second time.
my fast boot info:
Dream PVT 32b SHIP S-on
HBOOT 1.33.0013d (drea10000)
CPLD-4
RADIO 2.22.28.25
OCT 21,2009,22:33:27

wait no that dont make sense... lol are you trying to root your device?
if you have 28.28 and 0013d than you are rooted and should be good to flash roms.. all you need is to make sure your sdcard is properly formatted and partitioned lol

some roms require an ext4 partition... if you have amonra recovery than go to partition sd options.. choose partition sd and set swap to 96mb and ext to 512mb.. than upgrade ext2 to ext3 than upgrade ext3 to ext4.. than wipe all data, cache, system than flash a rom..

I did all the steps i managed to get it rooted but with the specs of hboot and radio i tried 5-6 roms and none booted up i even tried the SenseLX one with MTD and without, and never made it past the G1 screen i have even gone back to rc29 a few times and started over. this last attempt i decided to just got to 1.6 so i did the upgrades for that (unrooted) and when i hit 1.5 i lost all cell signal again, went to 1.6 and still didnt have it now im back to 1.0 again. im lost on what could be going on.

so your saying you had radio 28.25 and hboot 0013d and you couldn't get the roms to boot?
and that you cant get a cell signal?
-for the rom issue i think it may be your sd card...
-for the signal issue you might need a new sim card... you can get them replaced for free at a tmobile store..

New SD card and sim in phone and attempting this again... ill keep you posted on any progress if any.

This is a regular US T-mobile branded G1, not a unbranded or Asian, model?
If you are still having these issues, and starting from any Engineering SPL, you might try the orange-1.58.73.2.nbh file over here.
It updates radio/hboot/kernel/system all at once, in a known working set.
You can change the French over to English, but might need to know a bit of French to find the setting, and I even kept it on a phone for my kids to play with (no sim) just to run some apps via wifi.
Then if you get REALLY stuck again with updating, just flash back to the orange NBH, it is much easier then going all the way back to RC29 and rooting again.

Need help flashing recovery.

I rooted my G1 using the AndRoot app and i can't seem to flash recovery.
I copied recovery.img to my sdcard root, started the terminal emulator and typed in "flash_image recovery/sdcard/recovery.img" but that usually get's me "access denied", sometimes after i press enter or in the middle of typing.
So i tried to to type in "su" before i typed everything else but then the terminal emulator has to force close. I am seriously about to give up on this. I've been doing it since last night. Can someone please help me?
PS: my build number is "DRC83"

well ive never tried to use androot, always just the old fashion way of rooting for me.
which by the way wont take you all night so maybe you could try that?
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Dream:_Rooting
to answer your question you dont seem to have super user permissions so nothing needed su will work
out of curiosity, if your on windows and typing .img at the end of the file dont, just name it recovery

That's the first thing i tried since it's the most fun way to root a phone but i got "not allow" and "serial0" in fastboot.
Yes i'm on windows but i got my extensions showing so that's not the problem.
PS: the goldcard method doesn't work either. Forgot to mention that.

Well let's start from the begining, what's your radio/spl, well go from here

Here's all the info i have in fastboot:
DREA110 PVT 32b
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Download the dreaming.nbh file and put it on the root of your sd card. Then boot the phone holding the camera button. Your hboot will load the image and flash it to your phone it takes about 5min or so. Once it says complete you @ android 1.0 and will need to sign in. This is easier if you have a data plan if you don't you will need to turn on wifi via adb. Once there download telnet from the market.
When telnet is downloaded, from home screen, open keypad and hit the enter button twice
Then type telnetd
Then hit home and open telnet, hit enter
then type flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
(Forgot to say have the appropriate recovery downloaded to sd card and renamed recovery)
Now you can reboot into recovery holding the home button
You know have amonra and can begin with downloading a new rom, radio, and spl. Start slow here and flash the radio in the cyanogen wiki then danger spl then let's say cyanogen5 - eclaire
Once all this is confirmed working we can move on to the 2708+ radio spl

When i boot it with the camera button i get the "not allow" error and then back to the rainbow screen where it shows "serial0".

Then either there is something wrong with sdcard, the dreaming.nbh image, the way you named the image or you got a bad download. Make sure sd card is fat32 and the dreaming image is a fresh/proper download and you name it dreaming.nbh.
Pay attention to the file extentions dreaming will probably be all you need to name it
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using xda premium

I renamed it from "dreaimg.nbh" to "dreaming.nbh" and i also tried "dreamimg.nbg" but all those 2 gave me was a millisecond of text which i couldn't read.
I'll try a different memory card.

Sorry I misstyped
Dreaming.nbh. or try
Dreaming
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using xda premium

Can it even load it without the .nbh extension?
PS: i tried a different memory card and two other dreaimg.nbh files and still "not allow" and "serial0".
I swear i'm begining to think it's unrootable...

I've rooted over 40 g1s and never have I found one that works but is unrootable. Did you download the .nbh file from the wiki? Also when you boot the phone is the splash screen htc or rogers or g1 or what does it say
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using xda premium

One of them was from the wiki but since that didn't work i downloaded a few others i came across but they didn't work either.
It's a T-Mobile G1. German judging by the qwertz keyboard.
EDIT: Thought i'd throw in some additional info:
Firmware version: 1.6
Baseband version: 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
Kernel version: 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37 [email protected] #19
Build number: DRC83

And you said you tried the goldcard method?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using xda premium

Yeah, same exact result. I can try again.

The unlocker has a great video explaining how to do the goldcard method. I only tried it once along time ago just to see how it works, so I won't be too much of a help on that when I'm not in front of a computer
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using xda premium

Actually i have been using their tutorials. But now that you mentioned it, i watched the VIDEO instead of reading the text and it's quite different. So it's updating right now.
Now i'm moving to "Rooting the HTC Dream" step.
I really appreciate your patience and assistance

No problem, slow day @ work
Good luck, let me know if you get stuck
