[Q] Upgrading from Cyanogen 4.15 to 6

Hey guys, I'm planning to update from Cyangoen 4.15 to 6. However, my radio version is not the proper version and every time I try to install it using the Cyanogen 1.7 recovery image, I get an E:/ error although I have tried two different memory cards. Why is this happening? Perhaps I should try another radio version? Is it possible to continue upgrading without updating the radio?

What phone? Phone info? Radio you're trying to flash? Need more info.

yeah...must have slipped me sorry
It's the G1 (HTC Dream). It runs on Cyangoenmod 4.2.15 right now with a radio version that starts with a 1 (I don't know the exact version, the phone is not with me).
I'm trying to flash the 2.22.19.26I radio version by going to "flash zip" option. It goes about half way and tells me that it's having a reading error on E:/
I know I need to install DangerSPL which needs a radio version right? So how can I install when I keep generating this E:/ error?

Don't need danger. Firerat made a mtd script that does the same thing without the threat of bricking your phone. If u have a spl that's compatible with the 2.22.23.02 radio that works fine but don't think it's necessary.

So I can just go ahead and install CM 6, or do I need to apply this script? If I need the script, can I please get a link with instructions on how to do this?

cm6
Not sure how it works as i have a mt3g and no need for it. But yes you apply the script via his instructions and then you will have enough room in your internal memory to hold the rom. Which is the prob with the g1 stock partitioning. Hence the need for the patch or danger. Here it is. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717874. Good luck

It's really not hard to update. I would suggest using the DangerSPL if your board is compatable. It's worth it. Fireat's patch is buggy and can cause issues. So to upgrade, do this:
1. Check to see if you have a PVT board. Boot your phone holding the Camera button to enter the bootloader. The first line will say "Dream XXX 32B ENG S-OFF". If it says PVT where the XXX is, then you can safely flash the DangerSPL.
2. Upgrade your Recovery Image, I suggest ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1 (download ROM Manager from the market to install)
3. Update your radio to version 2.22.23.02 - Instructions [HERE]
4. Flash DangerSPL - Carefully read instructions [HERE]
5. Wipe Data/Cache, Flash CyanogenMod 6.0 RC2
6. Flash Google Apps v3
All done.
Alternately, just follow [THIS] guide, just ignore the first step "Gain Root".

Are you sure? The issues you might get in flashing DangerSPL in a wrong way will be much heavier!
I would suggest using the engineering SPL 1.33.2003 and go with the MTD-patch, it' much more flexible and more save. Only my 2 cents.

As long as you have a PVT board, flash the correct recovery first, then flash the spl, you are perfectly safe.

I'm going to try updating via DangerSPL because my cousin is getting crappy coverage as is, so perhaps updating the radio version will help him
However, is seems to update the radio that I originally wanted needs 2.22.19.26I. However, I keep getting the "No Signature (5 files). Verification failed. Installation aborted."
How can I fix this?

I actually decided to use the script. However, the volume is very low at the fullest. Anyway to fix this?

Does cm6 have the cyanogen settings option in the settings? If so does it have the dsp settings? Its a sound equalizer of some kind. It might help but I don't mess with it or know anything about it. The volume hack in the market or any that I know of don't work on froyo

Actually I'm running CM 5.0.7. Any specific solution for that? If this app does it, may I have the name or a link to download it?

Sorry but louder volume hack in market says it doesn't work on 2.1 and up. But that's what its called. If I see anything ill keep u informed

Can I have the name anyway...just to try it out and please keep me updated

One in market is called louder volume hack. Made by meltus.

Also, the headset doesn't seem to be working. The phone will charge and such but when I plug in the headset adapter, it won't work and will continue playing from the speakers which is still very low at it's highest. What could be the possible solution for this?

Does this happen on other roms? Wondering if it's an actual hardware prob. G1 has had a low volume from day one but not sure your issue is just that.
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App

The thing is, it's not my phone and my cousin is very needy of this phone for work so I can't keep experimenting with it by swapping roms so I really don't know.
I know that before I applied the script and installed CM 5.0.7 sound was working and I could play music through the headset but after I installed CM 5.0.7, it stopped. Could it be my fault, or is just the G1 crapping out on us?

Not really sure but I would try a no wipe upgrade to cm 5.0.8 and see if that works. I know that Rom is stable. Unless u have to wipe I can't remember.

[Q] Softbricked

Ok so I found this usefull tut on the wiki from cyanogenmod, and I followed it. Everything went great until I had to flash dangerSPL. So I've put the 2.22.19.26i Radio on it, flashed it, and then I flashed the DangerSPL. I was going absolutly crazy when it was stuck at the t-mobile G1 screen... I Can acces the Recovery AND the bootloader (Amon Ra 1.7). Ive tried Whipe -> Whipe data/factory reset. But I'm still stuck on the G1 screen after that. Is there a step that I'm missing or can I call it my own personal brick?

You did install your ROM after flashing the SPL?

No, So I have to flash SPL and then directly flash ROM?

Excuse me the question, but do you know, what you are doing? Do you expect, too, that a computer, where you repartitioned the harddisk is booting the former OS without any problems?

Ooh, that explains a lot XD So DangerSPL is there to repartition the memory.

Ok so did the whole process again, after doing the SPL, I flashes cyanogen mod 6.0 and google apps. Now I've rebooted and it is stuck (Or does it just takes ages) on the blue Cyanogen(mod) cirkel with the rotating thingie

You sound like a real newb.
You should install spl 1.33.2003, which uses stock partition layouts and is fully compatible with the DREAM RADIOS (and thus won't brick). To alter partitioning, use the CORRECT tools, specifically, the partition table can be handed to the kernel on the command line. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717874

Unfortunately DangerSPL is "misused" to repartition the memory of the phone. Nowadays there is no need to do so (links to alternatives can be found in my signature), but everybody is suggesting it, so everybody is using it.
About the boot time: It will take long to boot, for sure several minutes. If you see the bootimage at least the kernel was loaded without problems, i.e. first step is working. If you want to see what's going on during the boot-phase, you can try to logcat using adb (-> it's a remote debugging tool).

I sound noob because I am at this stuff. Got my phone in yesterday...
And so if I install spl 1.33.2003, I will be able to get Cyanogen 6.0 on the phone. The tutorial said dangerSPL expanded one pertition and that that was necessary. Is this also so with spl 1.33.2003?

You cannot flash the 1.33.2003 and use CM6 directly. To use CM6 with 1.33.2003 you need to "patch" your kernels using Firerat's mtd-custom partition layout. It consist of 2 zip files which are used to modify your recovery and your boot images (down in my signature is a link to the thread where it is explained in detail). The advantage of doing so: no risk to brick your phone and the partition layout can be defined almost as you want.
Another hint I would like to give you and others starting to root and to flash new ROMs: before rooting and flashing, try to read as much as possible here in the forum. Especially the "sticky" postings which give you some introductions. It will help you to get an understanding of what you are doing and how it is working. Bricking a phone is more easy as you might think ...

[Q] better radio than 3.22.26.17 for post 911 dream?

I'm having a TON of issues with the current radio. I flashed the updated radio during the whole 911 patch fiasco and ever since the phone will just randomly not be able to send/receive text messages or phone calls. I've read that some of the newer radios (6.xx) and the older radios are compatible.
Current Specs:
Rom: CM 6.1.0 with patched kernel
Radio: 3.22.26.17
Model: HTC Dream 32B

You should update to the ezterry's newest radio and spl.
They also come with an extra 14MB RAM!

seems cool, but I was hoping for something simpler... Ah well if it gives me back the use of my phone...

It will, trust me if you need a guide, on how to flash it, go to the g1 development forum, its either on the first or second page

Absolutely under no circumstances *EVER* flash via recovery a 2.22.* radio when you have a 3.22.* radio it *WILL* brick your phone
on a similar note:
Absolutely under no circumstances *EVER* flash via recovery a 3.22.* radio when you have a 2.22.* radio it *WILL* brick your phone
And on that note another few reasons why we recommend using fastboot
If you have a 1.22.* radio and install Danger SPL or 1.33.0013/0013d SPLs via recovery you will also brick your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139 is safe for ALL dream users, always use that fastboot method for installing 1.33.0013d or ask ldrifta to pay for your replacement phone.. anyway those other instructions are for downgrading a t-mobile dream.. while 60% of the time it may work.. downgrading to out of region firmwares causes headaches when an NBH fails to apply the first time.. since you can't simply re-flash and move on.
(anyway the rooting guide for the e911 dreams already expects the users to install fastboot/adb so it ought to be easy to fastboot the radio+SPL.. the only real problem with my thread is some people feel overwhelmed with the full operation guide of the new phone the Radio/SPL transforms the phone into)

[Q] rommanager /universal androot v1.6.2 beta 5

Hi guys! so i have a htc t-mobile g1 firmware version 1.6 build number dmd
64. I have installed rom manager and universal androot v1.6.2 beta 5. I rooted phone and flashed clockwork mod recovery. I would like to install a rom.
where do i go from here? Do I have to still downgrade the sofware or can I go right from 1.6 dmd 64 to a rom. the option download a rom does not work,I get message the requested item cannot be found. what are my options? can someone please help me! i am total noob and this is my only phone for now don't wanna screw it up. sorry for long post just trying to be accurate.....thanks.

is the recovery installed?
you went the fast way but it still usually works
power on the phone holding the home button
if your in clockwork recovery then your ok, just flash a rom
the newest roms require more work from you to get them though
see here:

yes, it does go into clockwork recovery. i had flashed clockworkmod recovery and backed up current rom in rom manager. i was worried i had to downgrade to rc29 or something like that. do i still have to install radio and danger sp? thank for the help and replying

Most roms you want will require you to

so no downgrade? ill install radio and danger spl and try cyanogen6 android 2.2. ill follow the cyanogenmod wiki and try it. well see how it goes......

I wouldn't recomend cm6 with only the danger spl, you be very slow if it boots at all. Try cm5. If you want more you'll need to follow the 2708+ update to get the extra ram hack for roms past 2.1
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

I will try cm5 then thanks....I'll post any issues i have..

i was just on cyanogenmod wiki trying to install cm5 and it says clockworkmod is not recomended or safe.it says to please upgrade to aman ra. so confused now

Its only not recommended because amonra is better for the dream, clockwork will work just fine. Also know that cyanogen helped write the code that amonra is based off of. All that said I use amonra and not the biggest fan of clockwork
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

first of i like to say thank you for taking the time to help.this is what i downloaded so far,radio 2.22.23.02,danger spl,cm5. there is also something called mirror. what is it? and should i download that as well.after downloading this stuff it needs to be put on root of sd card then i should flash each one?

correct, here is the process
have all downloads on root of sd card
root (you did this)
install custom recovery (you id this)
flash radio via recovery (you can test and make sure by powering on w/camera)
flash spl via recovery (same test as radio)
flash rom via recovery
now you are ready to play with cm5!
the mirror is just in case the download link isnt working for you, same file

thank you so much! you are the man really appreciate it bro..worked perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GUIDE] How to install 1.33.0013d HBOOT and 2.22.28.25 via recovery

Warning: Please do this at your own risk. This is not the safest method for doing this. It is much safer to flash this with fastboot. Although there are lots of good reactions in doing thid. I am not responsible for damage or even bricking your phone - Do not skip anything here, please follow everything on this post.
Today I am going to teach you how to flash the 1.33.0013d/2.22.28.25 combo in Amon RA recovery! Like I said, this is not the recommended method, but it works, when you follow EVERYTHING on this post.
WARNING:
1) flashing a 2.22 radio via recovery if you have a 3.22 or 1.33 radio via recovery *will* brick your phone
2) flashing the 1.33.0013d spl with a 1.22 radio via recovery *will* brick your phone
So, first off, you have to be rooted.
When you are rooted, you have to have Amon_RA recovery installed. On how to do this, I have a tutorial for it here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623954
Now, you have to upgrade your phone to Danger/Engineering SPL. It's called like that, because it has a danger of bricking your phone, and it enables fastboot - a tool, that gives you the oppertunity to flash ROM's and such from your computer.
It's like a recovery, but from your computer. To do this, click here:http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Dream:_DangerSPL
After you do THAT, you can finally start to flash the 1.33.0013d SPL and 2.22.28.25 Radio. This will produce 14 mb of extra RAM for you, but won't be able to play 3D games, like Temple Run. But the 14 mb of RAM really makes a difference. Also you won't be able to use CyanogenMod ROM's, although you can temporarily switch back to Danger SPL. Just look in the EzTerry thread.
You can find the links for those down below:
HBOOT: http://code.google.com/p/g1tools/downloads/detail?name=HBoot-1.33.0013d.zip&can=2&q=
Radio:
http://rapidshare.com/files/43135125...22.28.25_S.zip
Now, put all file to your SD-Card, and reboot into recovery. *TIP* If things go bad, please make a Nandroid/BART backup before you do anything. And one thing, make sure that your phone battery is full, as in green LED, before you flash any Radio/HBOOT, or simply plug your phone into your charger. Now, go to the wipe section in your recovery, and just wipe everything, like press every option you have and wipe. Or simply use Oshaka SuperWipe. Oshaka SuperWipe is reccomended, because it wipes some things, that your recover does not.
After your wipe, go to install zip form SD-Card, then pick your Radio file (update-2.22.28.25 blah.zip and install it. If it reboots or goes to a unpack a MyTouch 3g screen for 3 minutes or so. WHILE YOU'RE DOING THIS;DO NOT IN ANY WAY INTERRUPT THIS; THIS WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE; IF IT STAYS FOR 10 OR SO MINUTES; YOU MAY DID SOMETHING WRONG AND YOU BRICKED YOUR PHONE , SO DON'T BE IMPATIENT BY PULLING YOUR BATTERY! After that it reboots and goes back to recovery. Then go to Flash zip from SD-Card and choose the HBOOT-1.33.0013d.zip file. It will install itself and remember, dont be scared by long waiting times. Now, if you did what I said, power off your device and press [POWER+CAMERA] . It says:
DREAM PVT 32B SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.33.0013d
CLPD-4
RADIO-2.22.28.25​
Congrats! You just installed a new Radio/SPL combo!
If I helped you, please push that 'Thanks' button!

I said that they have a choice between fastboot and recovery and i reccomended to use fastboot. It is a choice, for me it's much easier to use recovery. fastboot is a little too much for me, so that's why I did this. Also, I think you have a stock spl/radio, you have higher risk to brick your phone. It's in the warning section.

Hi
Can you point me to a guide on how to flash the 1.33.0013d spl using fastboot.
