[G1 Android Development] FireRaider:
What about flashing it from Rom Manager? Still have to do the FR-remove first?
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
do you mean ClockWorkMod-Recovery? how and why would you flash it from rom manager...? lol
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
Many people who use clockworkmod also use rom manager to do most of the flashing work. An app is much more newb friendly then the scary looking recovery menu.

Also why would you want to flash radios and spls from recovery? That's almost asking for a brick... the guide sets them up with an eng spl, maybe you should tell them to flash from fastboot. It's safer that way
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
well i've never done it using fastboot, this is how i always updated my device (via recovery)
[G1 Android Development] FireRaider:
So regardless of whether I use Amon-RA-recovery or Clockworkmod recovery, I still have to use the FR-remove before I can flash any new radios, the latest spl, and any new kernels I might want to use?

Unless I do it from fastboot.

Is that correct?

I finally have the G1 working the way I like and so of course now I want to flash a few different roms and radios to 'improve' it. :)
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
If you have used custom mtd,then you need to flash fr-remove.
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
no if you are upgrading to radio 27.08 or 28.25 and hboot 0013d via recovery (RA-Dream/CWM) you need to flash FR-Remove!! its in every update guide i know of... need to flash remove file in order to update to these latest firmware updates..

only dont use it if using fastboot!!
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
:confused: didn't he wrote exactly that?
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
well he saying if you used custom mtd... but in reality dont you need to use remove file for updating radio/hboot if flashing via recovery regardless if used custom mtd or not?
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
Fr-remove removes custom mtd. Flashing a radio or spl from recovery doesn't work if you have custom mtd. If you have custom mtd and want to flash one of those then you need to flash fr-remove first. Otherwise its not needed, you would be flashing a file that rremoves your non existant custom mtd. Basically doing nothing at all and just wasting time
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
fr-remove-xxx is only needed when you have custom mtd applied, otherwise it's useless.
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
haha really?? lol wow i feel stupid than... well ill keep it in the guide because it doesn't hurt and some people do have mtd partitions setup lol but thank you for the explaination :D
[G1 Android Development] FireRaider:
Well I tried to update the radio in recovery without the FR-remove and it didn't work, so definitely leave it in there.

I am going to try to update with fastboot later if I get a chance.
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
ok.. well i dont understand why yours wont work.. if your doing everything correctly you should be all set.. did you try the froyo rom with the kernel?
[G1 Android Development] FireRaider:
I just went straight to CM6.1

sent from XDA app using darky 9.5
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
You also need a 2708+ kernel
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
is your radio & hboot up to date?
[G1 Android Development] FireRaider:
So go to the thread about that kernel? (I was reading it earlier) And flash it as directed? It suggested using fastboot.

Then I can install the updated radio?

sent from XDA app using darky 9.5
[G1 Android Development] FireRaider:
I only went through step 2. Nothing in step 3.

sent from XDA app using darky 9.5
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
Quick oversimplified instructions:

Get to where you can flash stuff

Flash radio and spl

Flash rom

Flash kernel

Profit!

[G1 Android Development] Nushio:
Hey, I followed the guide but ran into a bit of a problem:

My phone can't connect to the phone network.

Now, this could be either a software or a hardware problem, as I sent the phone to a guy to repair it. Took him 6 months to "fix" my phone, and I don't really trust his skills, which is why I mention this.

Anyway, I didn't test the phone network before updating everything to hboot 1.33.0013d and radio 2.22.28, with a gingerbread rom, but I can't seem to get this phone to connect to the network.

I've reverted back to Radio 2.22.23.02 (Still on hboot 1.33.0013d) and on CyanogenMod 6.1.0, still no signal.

I've been considering using the DREAMING.nbh to revert it back to 1.0, but I'm not sure if that'd help at all or if the repair guy actually broke the phone.

I appreciate any advice. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
i had the same exact problem and believe it or not you sim card is dead.... just go to store for your service provider and they will replace it for free, even replace any saved contacts on your sim if needed... at least thats what my problem was, i hope this helps because i know this method works! it has for me and many many other people... sorry for your troubles i hope this helped you, can you try a friends sim card in your phone just to double check if that is the issue?
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
haha love it!!
[G1 Android Development] iKrautDroid:
Damn it!

It seems the 2.22.28.25 Radio is offline can somebody reupload!
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
you can get it here
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
crap sorry... was editing my share sites might have wiped it by mistake! will fix link thanks for pointing out!!

EDIT: i actually just checked the link and it seems to be working fine... maybe you had a connection issue... sorry
[G1 Android Development] BusUncle:
After flashing the first SPL in step 2, the phone gets stuck on the g1 splashscreen. Now I can't get into the recovery mode (home+on) or bootloader (camera+on). Is the phone goners?
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
which one did you flash? you cannot!!! flash danger spl before the other provided spl or the guide will not work... do you know whick one you flashed?
[G1 Android Development] BusUncle:
Step 2.2, the one after the radio

Latest g1 spl. The update went through but booted into the g1 screen. Time to dump this thing i guess. Looks like jtag is the only way out

i don t know if its correct (im new i just have 3 days with this phone)

if im with out system can you help me with a one that i can install it (if you can send me a link to download

Please i need help
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
now you need to flash a rom... if you have the radio and hboot like you daid.. just flash a rom now :D there's a couple listed at the end of the guide
[G1 Android Development] mtayyabn:
By mistakenly I flash SPL first than Radio and my G1 phone is now stuck on T-Mobile logo and doing nothing Please help me (Sorry for my bad English)
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
If you had flashed 1.33.2003 instead of 1.33.2005 everything would be still working. Unfortunately this guide is using the 1.33.2005 and this caused a brick for you :(

Sorry, but the only chance to recover from this situation is JTAG.
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
aww man... should i just put 1.33.2003? will you still be able to flash up to 0013d using that spl?
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
Yes, but ... you should take care of compatibility of SPL and radio.

1.33.2003 is compatible with 1.x and 2.x radio

1.33.2005 is compatible with 2.x and 3.x radio

that's the reason why it causes a brick when you flash the spl / radio using recovery. Using fastboot there is no problem with incompatibilities because you should be able to return at least into fastboot mode. Everything is written in more detail in Terry's post which was submitted already 1 1/2 years ago ... :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
o ok, i understand that fastboot is safer, this is for the people who haven't figured it out yet or had trouble setting up fastboot... but as long as they follow the guide correctly and they have a US tmobile g1 like i mention in the guide, everything should be fine
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
Hmmm ... it's too complicated and really speaking, I do not understand what this

Latest G1 SPL.zip contains and what is does and why I should flash it first if I directly after that have to flash DangerSPL.zip ... :confused:

It's so easy and *safe* flashing SPLs using fastboot, but probably for some people this way is too easy ... :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
hmm yeah i believe it is 2005, it from the rooting guide from youtube, thats how i got it and i know it works so i posted as is... im not claiming to be an expert on this but i know doing it this way works..
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
You suggest to flash something on the phone where you don't know what it is? Probably it contains a virus? ...
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
lol no i know it not a virus, i used it myself i forget what it said in bootloader but in the guide i used you had to flash that, then when i was getting to 2708 it said i needed danger spl so i flashed that next and continued on with the method i used...
[G1 Android Development] Jamelly:

It seems that I was able to flash the 2.22.28 radio, but the HBOOT was not updated, also the date at the bottom.. Please help on what to do to update it, or if I can put in a custom ROM already... Thanks in advance!!!!\\

EDIT: Okay, so I fixed it LOL. I think the instructions are a bit misleading...

To quote:

Again delete the old files off your sd card and place these files on it!!

1. Boot up into recovery mode, go to flash zip from sd and select Ohsaka superwipe. wait till finish then go to power down!! now boot back up into recovery again.

2. Now do a manual wipe of data and cache.. (please follow along exactly and wipe data everytime i say to wipe data)

3. Now flash the radio (2.22.28.25).zip file.. let finish than flash the hboot (1.33.0013d).zip file and let it finish! now power off device!!

4. Power back on into bootloader (camera+power) and check if device says..

On step 3, what I did was, after flashing HBOOT 1.33.0013d, I rebooted it to have the system update the flash, not just power off the device. Then I powered it off, went to bootloader, and it gave me:

[G1 Android Development] Jamelly:
I actually picked Ginger Yoshi ROM, probably because I have already experienced Gingerbread with my LG Optimus One. What I need now is to unlock this G1 so my sister can use it here in the Philippines.. :)
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
o nice.. yeah i dont know how to unlock it lol i just use phone for wifi...
[G1 Android Development] lenstan57:
Stuck

Trying to root my old G1. Got to the point where I need to log on to my google account, and it saids: can't establelist a connection. My sim card is good, because I use it in my T-mobile HD2.

Not completely sure if how to use the ADB? Is that my only way to get pass this?
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
hmm it wont let you sign into google?try using the 1.5 update from the Un-rooting section..

boot into recovery do a wipe, then flash the update.zip (1.5)
[G1 Android Development] lenstan57:
ok tried that. it read E:No signature (5files)

Verification failed

should I used 1.5 ota??
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
yes you want to flash the 1.5 ota, is your phone us or uk?
[G1 Android Development] lenstan57:
US. And I did flash the OTA1.5 Still the same. Can I change the radio?, by flashing through recovery,

It's possible this phone is bricked ?

I'm trying to setup ADB, but I think my laptop is not seeing the phone. I get to ADB Devices and it dosn't see any.
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
Looks like your trying to flash a file meant to be flashed in hboot, in recovery. try flashing in hboot
[G1 Android Development] lenstan57:
forgive me, can u give me more details on what you meant? You mean from the boot screen after pressing camera and power?

My HD2 was easier to change than this G1.
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
I have a magic, not a g1. For me its volume down + power. But that sounds right
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
did you install the adb drivers? are you trying the google bypass method?
[G1 Android Development] lenstan57:
yes I was trying that, and also looking at the unlockr video to see how they show it.

Finally success!! I used my mother-in-laws sim card to get the phone up and running. followed the steps as listed.A lot easier that way. For whatever reason I could not get this phone taking to the computer. I finally installed Froyomelt1.9, I like it!!

Thanks for being there!
[G1 Android Development] juliuscaesar:
Thanks for this. I used Cyanogenmod since v5 and left my G1 on CM6 until I decided to try this out. I think it would be useful for anyone coming from the official CM version to know that all they need do is start from Step 3. Upgrading to 2.22.28.25/1.33.0013d. Cheers buddy
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
lol no prob, and yes thats tru but some people have diferent radio/spl so not everyone can just start at step 3, step 3 is the most risky part of the guide, flashing radio and spl via recovery is risky there are many things that can go wong (brick) so its not reccomended to use this guide... but i tried to list as man warnings and also reccomend visiting exterry 2708+ post for more instructions/knowledge about flashing radios and spl's... but thank yu, makes me feel better knowing someone actually did it right lol....
[G1 Android Development] juliuscaesar:
I read that post first but found your instructions a little easier to follow. For me it was easy; was up and running CM7.1 in no time.

Happy days :D
[G1 Android Development] rickyiswhite:
thanks the guide works great
[G1 Android Development] Shroomster:
......so you wouldn't suggest using this guide to root a stock g1 from tmobile? I'm lost lol
[G1 Android Development] BeenAndroidized:
That is not what he recommended or meant. He said that he does not recommended everyone to start at Step 3, Since it is the most critical step and can cause your G1 to brick.
[G1 Android Development] Shroomster:
Ahh.....that makes sense......

I'm still up in the air about which method to use to root a friends G1 (this or androot). Just have to see what his info screen says......
[G1 Android Development] BeenAndroidized:
If you are up to it, I would recommend this guide. (or even some of the other ones in the forum, they are pretty much the same with a few things different.)

I even have the one that I first started but it was gear toward CM ROM back in the day.
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
My suggestion: use androot or a similar app. Get a custom recovery. Get an Eng spl (2003 or 2005 depending on radio version). Flash latest spl and radio from fastboot. Flash an awesome rom.

But just one thing, I updated ROM "BananaBread v1.4 DS +cMTD(Based on CM 7.1) Crazy fast GB" right after than I can not change to other ROMs anymore, flash any ROM just stand at "G1-T Mobile" image. I test 3 ROMs & said same result.

So I have to unroot (as your advice) than root from the beginning & flash Radio 2.22.27.08.

Now I'm using ROM [CyanogenMod 7.1][Android 2.3.7][The Official Unofficial CM7 for DS]
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
Most likely that's due to the fact, that you did not flash the FR-boot-xxx.zip on to of it, so cMTD is not recognized and your ROMs are not booting.

Either flash the FR-boot-xxx.zip before booting your phone, or flash the FR-remove-xxx.zip to remove custom mtd settings. Both zip files can be found here

But booting a ROM without cMTD configuration might have already mixed up yout partition layout. Due to that I suggest you to call a

fastboot erase system -w

to clean up everything.

Recently broke my G2 screen and I'm waiting for replacement parts to come in. Broke out my old G1 (with no SD Card) popped my sim in and booted it up so I can get phone calls.

So now I have a rooted G1 with CM 6.1 on it and didn't know what my steps are to upgrade to CM7.

So to summarize I have no formatted / prepared SD Card and here's the bootloader info:

[G1 Android Development] tvall:
Download and flash the 1.33.0013d spl and 2.22.28.25 radio via fastboot. Make sure you have a good working recovery. Then flash the rom. I wouldn't recommend using cm7 on a g1, but if you must, i would suggest the one i link to in my sig. if you want a fast gingerbread rom, use ezgingerbread(also in my signature) or ads magpie.

[G1 Android Development] PittsburghG1:
I never did thank you for this. Worked fantastic along with Launcher Pro. Honestly, the battery on my g1 would last probably around 2 to 3 days with your suggested settings.

Instead of repairing my G2, I held out and bought an unlocked Nexus Galaxy. Thanks again!

Hey ldrifta...

my problem is that i am on Cupcake (1.5) and that i cant use Recovery Flasher. Next thing is that i tried to make a goldcard, got it, and then i wanted to flash another .nbh file but the phone keeps saying: "Main Version is older".... But i am able to get into the recovery/bootloader/system... I tried everything but it doesn't seems like i could get any further :/ I tried so many different DREAIMG.nbh files...

[G1 Android Development] demkantor:
possibly a bad download of the dreaming.nbh file, have him redownload it, place it on sdcard that is fat32, then power on the g1 holding the camera button. at this point he should see the rainbow screen then a prompt to update. if not we need more info on where he is now (rom-radio-spl) to help
[G1 Android Development] jojo_angelov:
Bricked my phone I guess

Dang it. Somehow I bricked my G1 following the guide. I have no idea how it happened as I followed the instructions exactly the way they were. I even checked my version etc(step2)... and it was exactly the way it was supposed to be. I can also enter RA recovery or fastboot but I cannot pass through the T-Mobile screen? Any idea? PLease advice
[G1 Android Development] juliuscaesar:
That's odd; can you flash anything in recovery? If you can get into recovery you should be able to restart the process somewhere. Where did you get up to?

If you get really stuck I'm sure you could still restore by flashing the dreaming.nbh file and start again but if you've got recovery installed I'm sure you should have to...
[G1 Android Development] jojo_angelov:
I got up to the point where I was going to start my phone again after Danger SPL and trasnfer the files from part 3. When I tried starting the phone after Danger SPL it was stuck on Tmobile. I have not tried flashing anything yet in Recovery as I don`t know exactly what to flash. Any advice? It seems so odd. Everything was flashed correctly. One thing though is that I think I flashed 1.5 without needing it. I think it automatically applied somehow in one of the steps .
[G1 Android Development] demkantor:
you dont have a brick, you just dont have an os. when you can get into fastboot and recovery everything is fine, you just need to flash a rom.

what is your radio/spl

type that in here so its know what step you are on, chances are a simple flash via recovery is the way to go
[G1 Android Development] jojo_angelov:
Can I simply go into step 3 now? Just move the files from step 3 2.22.28.25/1.33.0013d and install them as if nothing happened? OR should I install a ROM first and then install them?
[G1 Android Development] juliuscaesar:
Yes, you can......
[G1 Android Development] jojo_angelov:
Well I installed everything and I installed a rom(Cyanogen 6). Now for some reason, I still cannot go through the T-mobile screen. I seem to have everything installed correctly. I don`t know what is going on.
[G1 Android Development] juliuscaesar:
What radio and hboot have you installed; CM6 does not work with 2708 1.33.0013d

Try DREAMteam Froyo (link is in my signature). It's clean, fast and works with this radio combination...
[G1 Android Development] jojo_angelov:
that is exactly what I have installed. Dang it. Well what kind of ROM will work then?
