Can't install DREAIMG.nbh

I have JF's last image(s) and I'm following the instructions at:

http://theunlockr.com/2009/07/05/how-to-unroot-your-t-mobile-g1/

to unroot it. I installed the first update.zip just fine. I even waited

for the arrow going into the box before yanking the battery.

When I powered it on with Camera+End, it booted up into a

red-blue-green screen with this written on the screen:

DREA100 PVT 32B

HBOOT-0.95.0000

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Sep 2 2008

Serial0

But first it flashed the message, "No image files!"

When I pressed End to have it install DREAIMG.nbh,

nothing happened.

I put all the images onto the sdcard before starting.

I verified that the md5 sums matched my PC's.

Here they are:

210365 update.zip ae58... (was G1OrigBootloader_nocheck.zip)

91564352 DREAIMG.nbh 5384... (was in DREAIMG-RC29.zip)

Does DREAIMG.nbh have to be spelled/capitalized a certain way ?

I'm not sure that its a FAT32 issue because its the stock SD.

Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone else having this problem? Is the first file in the instructions only supposed to be roughly 208kb???

what is the problem?
[G1 Android Development] ady_uaic:
hello. i have my device stucked on the splash screen, and i want to bring the device to stock firmware. i don't think that i have to do the step 5, 'cause i didn't root with my device, and now i'm at step 8 "5. Hit power to start the update DO NOT INTERRUPT!! i can not stress this enough." and, after checking checksum, or something like that, appears this error: Model ID incorrect! Update Failed!. what shoud I do? my device is:

Dream pvt 32b ship s-on
[G1 Android Development] ady_uaic:
please help me guys!!! after i've done that, now my device won't start at all. not even in recovery mode or fastboot menu!!!!!! appears that logo start, stays for 4-5 seconds and then restart and appears again. i've tried to press power+home, power+camera but appears the same logo :(.
[G1 Android Development] Frogzilla:

try reformatting your SD card, then try again.

Download panasonics SD card formatter and clear it out. then replace cards on sd and let me know if it works

help..

So I believe I rooted my phone but it put me in firmware 1.0 and I tried to unroot but when I tried to do the Alt+s it didn't let me update. So now I'm stuck in firmware 1.0 and with a SD card that is unrecognizable and won't format... what happened??

[G1 Android Development] gitanojr:
i don't remember but when i bought my g1, if i turned my phone and press home+power will show me the recovery mode (exclamation) with out downloading anything else, or flashing, or rooting???
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
Recovery

correct .. and using ALT+L should pull up the options
[G1 Android Development] n8izzle:
Does anybody know how long it normally takes for T-Mobile to send out the update.. I "unrooted" my phone and still have the RC29.. But i cant get anything off the market since they changed it I think. Anybody know how to speed up the process? I tried to go to setting > about phone > system update.. but there is not system update feature on the RC29.. Thanks in advance..
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
It takes a while the checkin service from the rom has to communicate with the tmo update servers, plus the phone needs to DL the update after you get the popup.
[G1 Android Development] aceo07:
I hope it updates itself really soon. I went from the lastest Cyanongen to Android 1.0..

I only did this since I wanted to confirm a hardware error.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Both of you guys can download Cupcake from my sig. It's the official T-mo version... it will probably speed up the time to get the Donut update as well.
[G1 Android Development] aceo07:
Thanks for the offer. Mine just updated this morning. It went directly to 1.6 from 1.0. :)
[G1 Android Development] aceo07:
I noticed that my 'wireless networks' location for GPS doesn't work as well. The error radius is now all of Manhattan. Before it was just a couple of blocks wide.

GPS didn't work earlier, but it seems to have resolved itself without any action from me.
[G1 Android Development] constellanation:
hopefully someone will be very kind and give me a quick answer here,

when unrooting can i keep the custom boot screen, and could i keep amon ra's recovery?
[G1 Android Development] B-man007:
no because then it would be rooted :P
[G1 Android Development] constellanation:
Thanks B. Was pretty sure i couldn't keep the recovery, wasn't to sure about the boot screen....

in the meantime i decided I couldn't unroot my ole g1 before i give it to my mom, i'll just run tech support for her.
[G1 Android Development] guitarfreak846:
Quick question...I have CyanogenMOD latest version. TMO is sending me a replacement phone so I need to unroot mine. Do I have to do the splash fastboot thing at the top of the post since the Android logo is different because of the Cyanogen rom?
[G1 Android Development] billygoat555:
Hmmm

I would also like to know the answer to this question...anyone?
[G1 Android Development] guitarfreak846:
Can someone PLEASE answer the question above?
[G1 Android Development] tmhung:
i 'm waited for 20hours but i can't see any update from it :(
[G1 Android Development] no6969el:
i thought that you will brick your phone if you downgrade your spl
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
UNROOT

i am unsure why you need to unroot your phone (you can exchange a root'd phone) .. but the fastboot command is to erase a secondary splash that you may have added (you would know if you messed with that .. i have not seen devs including such things within the ROM) .. as far as i have experienced flashing the NBH file resets and overwrites everything
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
updating to 1.6/2.0 whichever is up for updating lol

so... thought I'd unroot and check out the full 2.0 when it comes out :D

will I have to manually install the cupcake update for the G1 to update to1.6 and then 2.0 when it's out? or will Google or whoever pick up that I have RC29 and send me the CRC1 update then the 1.6 one?
[G1 Android Development] gitanojr:
if u read in a post back a few pages theres a way for u to push the updates sooner, i did it and it work for me, i got the update in 6 hrs....
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
yeah I found a link that got me to DRC83 or something like that. it's Donut. so hopefully 2.0 comes out soon... mid February and sooner would be nice
[G1 Android Development] Pvanwelt:
I have rooted my G1 and then flashed a new custom rom on it.

Because I am having issues with my car kit not working properly (possibly a bug in cyanogen's rom where almost every custom rom is based on).

If possible I want to keep the "root" but just want to flash the stock ROM back and also keep my recovery image.

I have downloaded the stock rom "signed-CRB17-from-TMI-RC9-eu.17667e06.zip"

Can I just boot in recovery and flash it ? Or do I need to think about some extra things ?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
UNROOT

you should use enom's TheOfficial if you just want root with no extras .. there is no way to keep root and use OTA updates .. you have to maintain one of the custom ROM in order to maintain root access
[G1 Android Development] Pvanwelt:
Allright thanks.

With "the official" do you mean this rom ?

link
[G1 Android Development] imrankhakwani:
thats cool

Your thread has saved me from bricking my phone.

Thank you.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
TheOfficial

absolutely .. TheOfficial without the ExpansionPack will give you the "root experience" without all the extras .. straight OTA but with root
[G1 Android Development] SurgeCentral:
update

I unrooted my G1, no matter what ROM i put on it after a day or 2, the home button would not work, my calls would not go thru, and would sometimes freeze up on me, now that i unrooted, its been about 3 days now i still havent gotten an updated and theres no system update on the settings section..... any way to update??
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
OTA

all of the OTA update files have been posted many many times .. check my site for most of them .. but search the forum for the updates too

[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:

everything in this thread is for G1 .. so no .. you should probably not follow directions for a "G3" .. are you referring to the Hero? try going to THAT forum instead of the G1 forum
[G1 Android Development] mjstar84:
okay Im new so cuss me out ... whatever. Im lost! it stays in the bootscreen after I apply the update says formatting cache with the little pic of the box with the arrow to the phone in the background. Im confused of the step 'gettig back to home screen' how? is it gonna do it automatically? should I put I hit back n home to reboot then let it go to the home screen. Shut it down then hold cam+pwr? steps arent crystal clear to an idiot like me who's simply trying to get his sim card to read in the phone again.
[G1 Android Development] lexi1986:
If i follow these steps will i brick my device if i have the Death SPL ? I want to go back to stock but i don't want to brick my device.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Do we need to flash a radio as well or just the Original SPL? I am coming from the latest Death Radio and SPL.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
UNROOT

when you flash the nbh file i believe it writes over everything .. these are directions from another source (googleandroidblog) .. there should not be anything else necessary:

Step 1: Downgrade to RC29

* Download the file DREAIMG-RC29.zip (Search Google if this link is removed)

* Unzip the file DREAIMG.nbh and copy it to your SD card home directory.

* Power off your phone first and then hold down the camera button while powering it back on.

* When prompted, press the power button to begin the downgrade. Wait for it to finish and display the rainbow screen. Press Talk+Menu+Power to reboot your phone (or just pop your battery out once the downgrade has finished)

Step 2: Upgrade to Android 1.5 CRB43

* Download the file signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip (Search Google if this link is removed)

* Rename the file to update.zip and copy it to your SD card (Advanced users only: Use the command “adb push signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip /sdcard/update.zip”)

* Reboot your phone into recovery mode. Power off the phone first and then hold down the Home key while powering it back on.

* The recovery mode is finished loading when you see the ! mark inside the triangle. Press Alt+L to display the list of options.

* Press Alt+S to flash the file update.zip.

* Wait for the update to apply. Your phone may reboot during this process so be patient.

* Press Home+Back if prompted to reboot your phone.

Step 3: Upgrade to Android 1.5 CRC1

* Download the file signed-kila-CRC1-from-CRB43-FIX.7ca4a1d7.zip (Search Google if link is removed)

* Repeat the steps from above to flash the update file.

Step 4: Upgrade to Android 1.6 DRC83

* Download the file signed-kila-DRC83-from-CRC1.c41b93c1.zip (Search Google if this link is removed)

* Repeat the steps from above to flash the update file.

Im trying to flash any type of zip in recovery but it keeps saying instalation aborted for any type of operation...can somebody tell me why is this?
[G1 Android Development] IggaR:
Sorry for the bump, but I'm having some serious problems...

I wanted to reset my HTC Hero to the factory setting so I followed what was described in the start post. I didn't format my SD card first and rebooted and chose the option to run the restore from my sd card. It asked if I wanted to run update.zip, so I did.

It showed a flash of an icon of an unpacking box and then went black.

I waited for a couple of minutes, but nothing happened...

I try to start it, didn't work, pulled out battery and try to start it, still didn't work...

When I put it in the charger, the LED glows, when I press the power button, the LED goes out, so something is happening but not much...

Is there any way to get this fixed?

Thanks...
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Ugh, noob question I am sorry. Does the new radio on the G1 change the unrooting process....?
[G1 Android Development] DrLfresh81:
if u have a root device, why would you Root in the 1st place?, y would u wanna go back?

having a root phone is having freedom you can have any ROM available!:D​
[G1 Android Development] m3s_4ev3r:
Nope, it does not!
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Confirmed...just unrooted coming from the latest radio and danger/death spl.

All I had to do was format my stock sd card to fat32 (the 1gb one that comes with the phone) and throw the DREAIMG.nbh on the root of my sdcard.

Then turn off the phone. The hold camera button + power....it automatically scans for it then says press power to cancel or action button to update.

Press action button wait awhile...reboot...wait wait wait...OMG it looks so old!
[G1 Android Development] Joe92T:
isnt there another step involved? for instance i cant just take my phone and flash the drea image and be all set... i saw in an earlier that that it does nothing to delete your boot screens... so if your custom rom you have, has its own boot screen (like 99% of them ) you have to find a way to get the stock splash screens back as well during the bootup process
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Most roms only come with one boot screen...that boot screen is replaced by flashing that one file...it flashes it to the stock android boot screen.

I just did it...trust me.

DREAIMG.nbh not working

it says fail. i dont know what to do now? any suggestions?:(

[G1 Android Development] m4r71n:
i have tried everything i can think of to unroot my phone and it always comes up with the same problem. when i hold down the camera and power button, it loads up a white screen that says "checking" then that goes and it says "not allow" and it just returns back to the rainbow screen which says "serial 0" in the centre.

ive tried getting dreamimg.nbh from a few places but its always the same problem. ive tried formatting my sd card with both gparted and the phone itself and that doesnt help. i just cant work it out.

Any way to do this without sdcard.

I have a g1 with a bad sdcard reader on it.

I need to unroot it to send it back to tmobile.

I have tried methods of fastboot and havnt had any luck. guess i need to figure out how to do the spl from fastboot.

any help would be appreciated.

unresponsive bootloader?

*edit(I'm not complaining, but after 2 days I'm wondering if this is in the right place? should I put this in G1 Q & A instead?)*

So I'm unrooting for a warranty return (touchscreen unresponsive, so I can't unlock the phone, much less use it). I've been on cyanogen for a while after shopping around various roms when I first got my phone. So I didn't think I was a complete idiot....anyway I do this from OP:

and everything is fine. I think. At least nothing weird seemed to happen. But I can't do the next bit

Nothing happens. Press power, nothing. Hold power, nothing.

I even saw somewhere else that power+menu+call should reboot it, nothing. I saw a picture where after pressing power, a progress bar appears, but not on mine. Specifically, I hold camera+power, a rainbow screen flashes up briefly, then loading, checking, then the screen I think is supposed to come up:

but the only thing I can do from that screen is pull the battery to restart.

Any ideas? I've tried recopying the file, and downloading it from a different source, same problem. Thanks for any help!
[G1 Android Development] bugler:
solved it, in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=684711

basically had to have an sdcard with no partitions, then it worked a charm.

So if anyone else is having similar problems, ie; bootloader won't respond to power button to start flashing DREAIMG.nbh, reformat the card with no partitions.
[G1 Android Development] jaydc393:
+1@G1ForFun! Your One Step Unroot Method worked perfectly for me. Just make sure you reformat the SD card into fat32 and only put the DREAIMG.nbh file on your sd card. Did not need to use steps 1 and 2 in the OP to remove this

I was on CM 5.07 with DangerSPL but now im back to stock

Thanks for the quick response to my issue via PM! You were a great help!
[G1 Android Development] W.O.P.R:
**Forgot to search first (slaps hands), I'll wait it out and see how things progress.

Great Tut. Easy to follow, works like a charm. Giving my G1 to my wife and she always complained about how slow it was, I was using Cyan5.0.8 so it was a little laggy.

Anyway, After un-rooting, I still don't have an OTA and am not seeing the System Update option in About phone.

Any suggesstions?
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:

It appears the "serial0" error is caused by not having enough charge on the battery to perform the update. Hope that helps!:)
