Hi guys
My Dreams USB port is broken so i don't have adb fastboot or mass storage.
It's been a while since i powered on my Dream but now i want to bring it back to life.
I habe Radio 2.22.23.02 and HBOOT 1.33.2005
I would like to somehow flash a new spl but cannot find any tutorial which wont use fastboot.
Is it possible to do this via update.zip?
If it is - Can someone provide Links to required files
Regards
Nik
yes it is possible, look for a flashable .zip for the radio and spl (either the .25 or .08 radio and the .13d spl) you can look in ezterry's 2708+ thread or I believe idrifta has them in his as well. you will just need to do a little searching as I don't have the files at hand

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?
hey guys, i want to use fastboot for doing a bunch of things including using my own splash screen.
My problem is that in the process of rooting my phone I did flash the SPL first meaning i dont think its possible to now flash the radio or is it?
well anyway here is my info?
DREAM PVT 32B (EBI1 PHONE)
1.33.2005
RADIO - 3.22.20.17
is there any way to go back and do the radio first? because i HAVE NOT yet bricked it by applying a radio. Or can i get by with this radio, i dont want too much trouble because everything is working fine at the moment but i would enjot the missing features that i could have with fastboot.
OR is there another way to do stuff like installing a new splash?
any suggestions?
Hi,
I've just downgraded my G1 to RC7 and rooted it. Then I flashed Amon_Ra's recovery 1.7.0. My bootloader was 0.95.0000 so I flashed the mathing engineering SPL 0.95.3000 (as suggested here wiki.xda-developers.com/phpwiki213/index.php?pagename=HTC_Dream_Bootloader )
But the wiki also says 'Be aware that the partial-engineering SPL 0.95.3000 (and the hacked version 10.95.3000) do NOT have the ability to fastboot flash a radio or spl image. It is necessary to install ?SafeSPL 1.33.2003 first.'
So what is SafeSPL and how is it safe to flash it? 0.95.3000 and 1.33.2003 don't match in any way, do they?
EDIT:
found the answer in the wiki article
1.33.2003 aka ?SafeSPL -- a full engineering SPL, origin unknown. This SPL is entirely compatible with DREAM ORIGINAL SPLs, 0.95.0000 and 0.95.3000.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so 0.95.0000 und 0.95.3000 are kind of "matching" with 1.33.2003, so I'll switch from 0.95.3000 to 1.33.2003 (which seems to be "SAFE", and can't cause a brick) and then flash new radio and dangerSPL with fastboot as soon as I get home. I hope that'll work this way...
are there any "safe" sources, maybe with md5sum for 1.33.2003? There is no link given in the wiki article
EDIT2:
just found the answer in someones signature
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6510019#post6510019
but it is safe to upgrade from 0.95.3000 with radio 1.x to 1.33.2003 ? Because I still have a stock radio 1.x and wanted to flash 1.33.2003 SPL and then flash 2.x radio via fastboot. Don't want to brick it
EDIT:
maybe we should also add a table/matrix to the wiki, that clearly says what combination of SPL/radio will cause a brick on flash with recovery

This information is spelled out VERY CLEARLY in the wiki. I really suggest that you READ it....

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)

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:

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

Hey all. I just have a quick question regarding flashing another SPL. While rooting, I was stupid enough to flash the HardSPL instead of the more used Danger or EngineeringSPL's. Now I'd like to "upgrade" my SPL to one of these two. Currently I'm using RA's 1.6.2 recovery (I know I'll probably have to upgrade that one), and I have the current radio.
What would be the quickest and easiest way to get a new SPL from this point?
What do u mean current radio. U need to post your fastboot info for help on that
Sent from my HTC Magic SparksMod using XDA App
SPL: 10.95.3000 (HardSPL)
Radio: 2.22.23.02 (current)
Yeah, that's the current Radio for US T-Mobile G1. I'm using the same Radio with DangerSPL.
The only radio's for the G1 that are compatible with DangerSPL are:
2.22.23.02 T-Mobile / US
2.22.19.26i Non US
3.22.26.17 or 3.22.20.17 Rogers/Orange
Any different radio that's not listed above, will brick your phone if you flash DangerSPL.
U should upgrade to ezterry's radio/split. Just a suggestion
