HELP - Just about to flash new radio/kernal/ HBOOT for extra 15mb

I am unable to flash in fastboot, so it has to be done in RA-Recovery...
I have 7-8 different zip files..( 27.08 radio, Original 0013 HBOOT, spoof 1.33.2009, etc..)
I have everything I need to flash. If someone can just tell me EXACTLY how to do it in Recovery and with what files... Also, do I need the spoof SPL for CM nightlies, or is it fixed now..
Thanks again

I am under the impression that I need to
flash 1.33.0013 and the reboot back into recovery....
Flash Radio 2708 and reboot and during boot, reboot into recovery...
Then flash ezBiffTestKernel20101106-2708_S and that is it....
My problem is that I have CM6-nightly 250 installed and I was told it needs to be reinstalled a different way.. I do have SPOOF SPL, the other CM6- modded one too...
Someone help... please

flash 1.33.0013d
Also, do a bart backup of your current rom in recovery. After you flash the radio you should just wipe everything and then restore your bart backup. Then after it restores flash the anyKernel.
Or, you can flash the spoof spl after the radio and then flash whatever rom you want....as long as you flash the kernel after the rom.

HELP! I can't flash a new radio!

Anyone can help me?
I tried to install Froyo by Laszlo, I followed the instructions, I tried to flash the 2.22.27.08 radio, but I received this message:
Install from sdcard . . .
Finding update package . . .
Verifying update package . . .
Installing update . . .
*************
Can't Install Radio
You are using CustomMTD
CustomMTD must be removed
before you can install a radio
Install from sdcard complete.
I don't understand... Install is complete or what? How to check?
Please help me, this is my first G1 device and i want a fast and stable ROM (Froyo by Laszlo).

Be careful you read up before you start flashing radios, a brick is easy if your careless. To check your current radio and spl just hold the camera button while powering on. This screen will tell you what's installed.

He needs to *remove cmtd* (by flashing fr_remove_xxx.zip) before flashing a new radio or spl by recovery, or he needs to flash the new radio by flastboot (which I suggest, because it's much more secure). Everything about cmtd you can read on Firerat's Github repository.

Removing cMTD
Yes, you may like to remove cMTD The primary reason for removing cMTD is to flash a radio or hboot via recovery. I'm not going to go into detail here, but if you can then consider using fastboot instead of recovery for this. Sometimes you have no option, recovery will have to do..
there are few ways to remove cMTD
With early versions you just flashed an original recovery.img
In later versions, I supplied an extra remove.zip which can still be used.
since version 1.5.9-Alpha4, you just set systemMB to 0
adb shell
sed -i s/systemMB=.*\ /systemMB=0 /sdcard/mtdpartmap.txt
then flash AutoPatch-v1.5.9-Beta1-CustomMTD_S.zip, format routine, reboot to recovery If you are restoring a rom, then flash AutoPatch-v1.5.9-Beta1-CustomMTD_S.zip (twice) to make sure the boot.img is patched

I understand this, that's the correct method? :
#1: plug the phone to my PC and install the drivers (need drivers?)
#2: run adb via "run" on the start menu
#3: write the resize command ("sed"? not "set"?)
#4: unplug the phone and launch to recovery, then run the AutoPatch-v1.5.9-Beta1-CustomMTD_S.zip (where can i find?)
#5: reboot to recovery, full wipe, install radio
#6: then reboot to recovery, full wipe, install hboot
#7: then reboot to recovery, full wipe, install ROM?

To remove cmtd you can also download FR-remove-v1.5.6-CustomMTD_S.zip, copy it onto your SD-card, reboot into recovery and flash the zip. That's all, now you have removed your custom partition layout, *but* your ROM installed will no longer boot up *and* you should clean up everything by either flashing Ohsaka's Superwipe or doing a
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
Now you have a clean phone with standard partition layout and you can start from there to install what you need. As always I suggest: Read before flashing! Especially if you want to go to the 27.08 /0013d combo you should read and understand Terry's thread before starting to flash.

Uhm, how to enter fastboot?
edit: i'm on fastboot mode but i don't have built on my PC.

Nah, i flashed the 1.33.0013d hboot via recovery and installed the Froyobylaszlo ROM. The radio needed fastboot, but i have a little problem... I installed the SDK, installed the drivers, but if i tryin to flash radio via fastboot, this searching for the dev for ever (waiting for the device)
The ROM is awesome, fast, have much of RAM, etc. - however not perfectly. I have 256MB Swap and 512MB ext4, but a few app/game, like Galcon and Opera Mini (my recomended apps) frozen at the beginning black screen and all browser (stock, Dolphins) force closing... user error? That's the missing radio's effect?
I thank all helps.

At what status are you at the moment?
Can you please boot into hboot-mode (back-button + power on) and can you send the spl/radio versions currently installed on your phone?
Force-closing apps normally are not related to the radio/spl version. I would wipe dalvik-caches and probably run "fix_permissions" on a root shell, this should help ...

[SOLVED]What Happened???

I decide to play with my G1 and it won't let me flash anymore ROMs via ROM Manager and even though I have my SU icon in my app drawer my phone isn't giving any root access to ANY app that requires it to work.
DREAM PVT 32B SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.33.0013d
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.28.25
I don't know why I have S-ON all of a sudden since I rooted this phone almost 2yrs ago. Does anyone have any advice. Thx in Advance.

well in those past two years you have updated to the .13d spl and this a hacked up spl to give you more ram. it isn't fully s-off but rather you are limited.
not sure what you have done to your phone so I can't tell you how to fix it. my suggestion would be to fastboot -w or superwipe from recovery, then flash your rom again (and whatever kernel or mods you want to) also maybe stay away from rom mangaer and also movd to amonra recovery. again only suggestions being I don't know what you did you may as well start fresh

But now I can't use all of the apps I bought that require root access anymore. This kinds of defeats the purpose of having root. And I also still have the SU icon in my app drawer.

Well the phone still let's me flash different roms from my sd card but I would love to use the rooted apps that I paid for 2yrs ago.lol.

Well have you done the steps I suggested?
1) flash amonra recovery
2) either fastboot -w or superwipe or both
3) flash new rom via amonra recovery
Any problems you have had should be fixed now
If you can explain to me a bit better what you did I may have a simpler way of fixing things but if you can't the above method should do the trick

He probably doesn't know how to use recovery -___-
this is why i never liked the whole ROM Manager idea...
OP: You won't lose apps you bought, because Google keeps track of your purchases and lets you re-download them.

I know I won't lose apps the point that I was trying to make was that I can no longer use theses apps because they require root access permission to run/work.

I can't push files via ADB/USB port anymore because the USB port on my phone has taken a nose dive.

well you can flash the new recovery via terminal emulator if you want, or you can attempt to do it with rom manager (not a big fan of rom manager, kinda sucks)
superwipe scripts can be flashed via recovery (cw or amonra) flashing the rom again in recovery
again not sure what you did, you only said what dosent work, this should make your root apps work
just wiping clean and and a clean install of the rom should make them work

My old sd card went bad so I had to replace it with a new one. I also clicked on the github link he has posted in the forum and I downloaded amonra_bootable_recovery folder/file as a zip. Should I also update the SPL?
Sent from the Redlight District.

well updating your recovery doesn't have much to do with updating your spl but it doesn't mean you shouldn't
the most updated spl for the dream is the .13d
if you have something else then I suggest it as you get acess to additional ram if you do (~14mb)
if you do make sure you first have the appropriate radio or you could brick your phone, either the .25 or the .08 are the only radios that work with the .13d spl
to check what you have right now, power on while holding the camera button

I have that info on my first post of my thread. Is what I've posted the correct SPL & Radio for this to work?
Sent from the Redlight District.

you have the most updated radio and spl, although with the .13d hboot you can not flash a new recovery via fastboot, but you should still be able to via terminal emulator or if you can find the proper image in a .zip and be flashed through your current recovery. of course you should also be able to flash an alternative (amonra) recovey with rom manager. choose whatever way is easier.
and remember that flashing amonra recovery is only a suggestion and will not by itself fix your problem, I just prefer it over clockwork on the g1
mostly you should be concerned with backing up what is needed, wipeing fully, and the flashing a new rom

ummm, sorry if I wasn't clear, any change to you hboot/spl/bootloader (all the same thing) would be a downgrade. the only benifit you may get would be the ability to use fastboot to flash a recovery (or other partitions) if this really is what you want, flash the orange.nbh (found in ezterrys 2708+ thread) but after flashing a new recovery I would suggest going back to your current radio/spl as it is supperior in every other way

like isaid earlier you have the best spl for the dream, the only downfall is the semi s-on. but this is only in the fastboot sense, it isn't true s-on and with th is spl you can still have root
easiest way to boot to recovery (if rom allows) hold power, choose reboot, choose reboot recovery. you can also reboot recovery via adb (adb reboot recovery) or various apps allow this too
if this is to much info, power off. then power on while holding the home button

So can I flash the new recovery image from there as well or does it has to be done via fastboot?
Sent from the Redlight District.

Is it a BRICK?

I did some stupid updates, dont ask me why...
So i ended up with no running ROM but a working recovery. (as shown on pics)
Im not sure if the phone still has a root?!
Any chance to recover it??

my guess is your fine, it lools like you have a working amonra 1.7 which is good and have the 27.08 radio which is sorta good but you still have the stock spl, so now you want to change your radio and spl, then posibly update both radio and spl again, then flash new rom, try this
flash the radio first in this link, then the death spl both via recovery
next flash the .08 or .25 radio and then the .13d spl via fastboot
now flash rom

I tried this, but neither the radio nor the spl changes. Is it possible that i wrecked my root so im not able to flash a update.zip? i used the Amon_Ra radio from this page HTC_Dream:_Rooting.
Could the sd-card be the problem? I have no errors during the flash, but after the reboot it is stock in the bootscreen. Ihave to take out the BAT to get into recovery mode again...

I tried the orange-1.58.73.2.nbh via fastboot. Is that the right one? With this i get the error "not allow 0028002". I get the same error with flashing the dreaming.nbh.

so it should be done via bootloader not fastboot, a .nbh fil is to be put on the root of sd card, named dreaming.nbh
then hold power + camera, when your phone boots it should find the file and ask you to proceed, say yes
is this the method you did or were you using fastboot?
try again, use the orange.nbh first, name it dreaming.nbh, this way you don't have to reroot, if it fails take the rc29 dreaming.nbh and try that one, you may need to make a goldcard
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

i used bootloader
You are right, i used the bootloader and i named it dreaming.nbh. Gonna try the rc29 now.
A question to the goldcard: as far as i understood you can create a goldcard only with a working os!?

Okay now i tried the RC29 but same error again. Im pretty sure that my g1 is the european version
I was looking for a tutorial to create a goldcard but there were only those where you need a working OS...
Any ideas left??

then you are already rooted, that is a developers phone which is pre rooted. you need to load a custom recovery (amonra is best in my opinion) and should also upgrade you radio and spl, google cyanogen wiki root dream, in that guide you will see a link for amonra, downloaded to sdcard, rename it recovery.img
now download a terminal emulator from the market, open it and type
flash_image recovery/sdcard/recovery.img
wait a few seconds then reboot to recovery
if that works then you can move on from there
