Right now you need to upgrade your SPL, there was a new guide on rooting your phone, I think its posted right under yours, download the danger spl and flash it from your recovery
The post is in the first thread of general section, follow that guide starting at the danger SPL section

Ok i flashed it ^^ i forget to reebot after flashing radio2.22.23.02. But now, I have problem i flashed new Radio SPL and hbbot like this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189589 and after this i flashed this room http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185027 and all is stuck again at T-mobile screen. What can i do now ? Can u help me guys ?
Always look at the first post in a ROM you want to flash, there it should have requirements.
You need to upgrade your radio and hboot further if you want to flash that ROM. Instructions to do so is in that rooting thread, be sure to thank him for such a nice guide!

RADIO 2.22.27.08 its too old, im right ? And i need to find another new one ? I just found requirements but i still cant find Download link for newest Radio and Hbbot (1.33.0013d)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9055790
Read through this, it is possible to flash from recovery but much more safe to flash through fastboot

yeah ! Finally works ! Thank you very much, dude That was very helpful If you're ever in Poland I'll shout you a beer. ^^
I have a G1 that is stuck on the first screen that shows Google G1, no matter what I have tried to do, it appears that the device is bricked. I believe the story is that someone tried to root it, but they used the wrong version of the radio given there are two motherboards for this device.
From playing with buttons, I can get it into a blue LED mode is about it.
Any tips on how to fix this device?
Thanks!

Any recommendation on where to get the required tools for jtagging?
Look up ezterry's thread on jtaging a dream, either Google search or search xda. Here will be links to the software and cables needed.
The software is free and when you get an idea of the cables needed search around more than just what's linked as you can find them cheaper or possible make them out of others
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I had looked into this some time ago and didn't find a good schematic to make my own cable.
I own a JTAG board that I had used on other devices, not sure if this would be the same and usable on the phone.
Look at ezterrys thread, I believe that had all the info needed, there are also a couple other pages I've seen describing what you need, I can't remember off hand which one gave the most detail
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Thanks for your help!
Looks like my LPT JTAG for ST Micro chips. Not sure if its the same for this device, but I'll check out the wiki page that I found. Looks like all the info is there. Just a matter of time to create a jtag (or hook up the one I already have) and open device.
Great to see someone doing this, keep us updated with your progress
I'm in the process of selling a whole bunch of phones to some one including all my old g1 parts, there's like 5 mother boards within that lot that need JTAG, if you want a few bucks I'll send him your way if you want
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I have a drawer of phones and picked up the G1 the other day. We see when I get a few hours to do this
If I get it done, i'll take photos and document the work done.
Before I go down the jtag route, I wonder, would a goldcard help to fix this phone?
It's and HTC phone, so would a y-cable help to use a goldcard and fix the SPL on it?

I just rooted and install the Cyanogen 4.0.3.1 and wondering where to go from here... I'm a noob at this and am just following tutorials and learning more here at XDA forums. I got today a 4GB class 4 SD card for apps2SD, and going to try to get it working by folowing some tutorials on here. What do I need to update to the Rosie/hero UI?
2.22.19.26I radio, 1.33.2005 SPL (Haykuro's), PVT board (check in bootloader, power and camera) time to read up on procedure, a card reader.... think that is about it? also the rom you want to flash needs to be on your sdcard because the new spl will wipe your phone.
Make sure that you flash the radio first before the spl or you have a high chance of bricking your phone<a brick is when you cannot get into recovery or the bootloader, before you ask, if you can get into either one than you are not bricked>
Im still a bit confused on what to do. I know where to get the radio and the SPL, but what is PVT? and where could I get that and also dont know where to get the ROM for the Rosie/hero UI
to check if you have pvt, turn off the device then hold down power and camera button. It will say on top pvt 32B
why do you want to do something that could brick your phone when do not even know where to get a hero rom...

Hi everyone really sorry for opening a new thread for a G1 brick.
My G1 has stuck at the T-Mobile screen and on pressing Camera+Power i cant get into fastboot to restore using the .nbh file.
I am not able to get into recovery using power+home key also.
There has to be a way to get my dream back....
please please please help
JTAG or go for a replacement. I'm guessing it's a DangerSPL brick, right?
Danger SPL
Yes dude....
i have done this so many time.....
this time i forgot to update the radio first and this is stuck....
Someone should have a solution for this....
I read many thread which say use it as a paperweight...
I am not loosing hope....
XDA Member will have some solution.....
Maybe you should try to keep current on developments.
There is NOT A SINGLE REASON to use the deathspl.
As for your "poll"... what do you expect to learn from something like this? Do you realize that any numbers you get will be completely MEANINGLESS?

Sure there is as its one if the few full engineering spls. And I don't think your latest development will ever be quite as user friendly (however some more configuration it will be very close)
The real user friendly fix/patch for 1.33.2005 (those that know what they are doing can decide if any benifit of the spl exists) is an assertion statement in the recovery script to check the radio version is not one of the two common 1.x ones.
(the evil patch is to make the assertion somehow also autoinstall the lattest Rogers e911 patched rom if the user has the 1.x radio. Because atm the rogers rom appears to be very safe from the user messing up the boot chain.. actually we may need to "perfect" the spl a bit more I think it will let us erase hboot)
I am still a newb to the android scene - and do believe I as well made the same mistake - and have bricked my G1.
If eveything I've read is accurate, I can purchase a donor phone - broken screen, or other issues - so long as the mother board is still good.
Swap out the new mother board for the bricked one, and have a working phone again - right ?
Have an opportunity on a donor phone - have no issues pulling phones apart, and putting them back together
But just want to make sure I understand the basics
Thanks in advance for any replies
Motherboard only option ?
Is replacing the motherboard the only option left ?
I am not sure i would be able to do that
Worst day of my life i screwed up big time
Any help is appreciated.
Some tool to recover back to original.
I can understand there is no way to repair as I am not able to get into recovery nor fastboot so cant adb also...
youtube
i checked the below video bt this is kinda a complicated and nt a solution for me

There is no tool to get it back except by the options listed above. If you are not going to switch the mobos in the G1 then you won't be able to do the other option either. There is no software that can bring your G1 back after a deathspl.

mine bricke in cause of a radio update,
i tried all which was in my head,
and all i can do
but after some nights spending to my phone i found this:
i copied my nand backup to root of sd,
and connected it to pc
first he told me, device not known
so i tried to boot the modified recovery,
and *tada* i was in recovery mode,
plz try and tell me if it fix your problem,
for mine it did
best regards,
psycho
Mine is also due to radio update dude, before flashing spl the radio has to be flashed i and forgot to do that.
Will try out your suggestion, just hoping that it work and my g1 is back to life.
Ne ways appreciate your suggestion.
Please let me know if you were able to get into recovery mode prior to putting the files on the sd card.
And if you could tell me the list of files (if u had nething other then the nand update) which you put on the sd card, i can replicate the exact process.
Thanks,
Chinmay
Hope
Is there any hope to get the G1 back to life from the Death SPL Brick ?
You should read instructions carefully man. Its not that hard. You should always verify that you have a compatible radio before flashing DangerSPL.
There is a method to recover your device and it involves a lot of time and patience. Google "JTAG".

"JTAG".
me too, my G1 Bricked (Not able to fastboot). but i wanna know if the JTAG method work 100%.please.
Ello. First time poster, not much of a noob, only with fastboot/adb which i just learned how to use a few days ago...
I was trying to update my HTC Dream into the Cyanogen mod 7 nightly, but i havent been able to get that far due to the need of radio 2.22.27.08 and hboot 1.33.0013d. Instead, i was able to lose my fastboot/adb (to my knowledge) and recovery. I tried updating my radio and hboot, but it lead up to me reflashing dangerSPL and an accidental battery pull by my phone sliding off the table and hitting the floor. Since then, fastboot and recovery would not open.
My phone screen still shows the "Rogers" logo and if i leave the battery out long enough to make it soft reset, it surpasses the rogers screen and just shows a black (but lit) screen. I would appreciate help from anyone that can guide me through this stressful times during my exams. Thank you in advance.
Htc website, support center, look for hard bricked. Hope it help !

try read here..maybe it will give u some insight but this is of course for htc magic
If previous steps are not working, then go to this link: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Dream:_Rooting and download appropriate DREAIMG.nbh for your Dream and then start from ROOTING your Dream from the beginning and flash any bootloader, radio and finally ROM! Hope this will help you.
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
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using xda premium
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
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using xda premium
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

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

ok i'm about to flash radio 2.22.19.26i from the wiki.
After that i want to flash Froyo by laszlo. Can i do that straight after that wiki tutorial or do i need to do something else before i flash it?
Yeah you need the latest radio and spl. Did you flash the danger spl yet?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using xda premium
I know this is over rated. I am currently running Froyo e-xtreme android version 2.2. The phone works find until it reboots (either manually or because the battery ends or because it gets stucks somewhere and I have to pull out the battery)!
And when I turn it on, it just gets stuck on the Tmobile G1 screen.
So I have to get in the Amon Ra Recovery. Wipe everything, reinstall rom and gapps and start using it again.
But I don't want to keep on doing this again and again. Such a waste of time. Any solutions?
change to a different rom that doesnt cause you to reboot, lots of good similar roms out, in my opinion better ones
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Yeah, I tested out E-Xtreme out (for a minute). I didn't like it. I am currently at FroyoByLazslo, check that out
Alhamdulilah.
Yep. Tried that. It's working fine.
I got my rom from the unlockr guys. Just googled htc g1 roms.
Many thanks!

... another one who created a brick by flashing radio by recovery ... :crying:
The first rule of flashing: READ EVERY LETTER OF THE POST! The most bricks occur because people do not understand or don't read a part of the post. If something is very complicated and you don't understand it? DON'T DO IT! So easy but so many bricks

+1 n00bs like me should read all the stickies, espicially w/the word n00bs in it, and if they dont understand what they are reading use the search button to find the answers, then maybe head over to the dev section and read the op throughly and try to read all the posts in that thread, ok maybe not all of them as some them are long, but start at the newest posts and work thier way down until they get comfortable with all the terms posters are using
He's right. we should 'noob' our posts!
