This is my first post but I'm having the same issue with my phone. I've already tried flashing the original SPL multiple times and I can get the rainbow bootloader but then I get this message when trying to flash RC29.

I'm not sure where to turn from here. I've probably tried downloading the RC29 img 30+ times and I've flashed the SPL quite a few times also. Everything points to me being back to stock except for the issue with Serial0 above and having the Cyanogen recovery image. Even the info in my "About the Phone" signify that I have RC29. I'm still running the CyanogenMod v1.4 + JF system recovery and it isn't allowing me to update the phone to Cupcake even though I'm getting the OTA update. What gives?

Sorry if this sort of post is redundant, as I'm sure there are many on this board who can figure this out in their sleep, but for a mortal like myself it's getting very frustrating.

UNROOT

if you are trying to unroot have you tried this:

1) download the original recovery to the SD

http://android.lucidrem.us/_fd.php?file=files/howto-root/recovery-dream.img

2) download the OTA zip file to the SD as update.zip

http://android.lucidrem.us/_fd.php?file=files/signed/USA/CRB43/signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip

3) flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-dream.img

4) reboot into recovery and flash the OTA update.zip
[G1 Android Development] campus racer 59:
This will sound bad, but how is step 3 performed?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
Terminal Code

with the file on the sdcard type that line into Terminal
[G1 Android Development] campus racer 59:
**** yea man!! That finally worked! I really appreciate your help!

Im gonna try this tonight, tmobile is sendimg me a new G1 early next week. Anyone know if they send a new battery as well?
[G1 Android Development] ivanmmj:
Added to the informative links sticky.
[G1 Android Development] karlb619:
So I followed your method lucid and i flashed the recovery image. Then I rebooted and got the screen with the triangle with the exclamation point in the middle and the phone next to it. I hit alt s and then it acts like its is gonna apply it and then it says installation aborted, and then a bunch of other numbers. what can i do?
[G1 Android Development] ThR1LL:
It already is. Now it's listed twice.

EDIT:

I unrooted my phone today bc I needed to go to T-Mobile for something and I used the AnyCut update trick going from RC29 to CRC1 and I searched for 1.5 and it downloaded the updated immediately.
[G1 Android Development] NSGJDAWG:
Very good guide. Very easy to understand.

I am sending my g1 back to t-mobile for a new one so I had to revert to stock. Im on RC29 now and I was wondering do I have to upgrade to RC30 or RC33? I don't want them to be like well he had his g1 for over 3 months and no updates at all ya no? I need help asap before having to ship my G1 in. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] dgrave:
Great Thread!

Awesome thread...came in handy, have to send my wife's phone back due to a volume hack blowing her ear speaker..haha...
[G1 Android Development] ninetimes:
I've got a couple problems. When I go to the home+power screen, I hit alt+l and get a ( E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command ) but it lets me flash the g1bootloader file fine.

Then i also get the serial0 error once I go into the rainbow screen.

I don't know what to do now because I can't even get past the g1 screen.
[G1 Android Development] NSGJDAWG:
Also is there a way to clear the Apps that are in the My Downloads folder Market>menu>my downloads

Dont Go Back to Stupid Stock For G1!!!!!!

It is sad to see some people are panicing and trying to get their phones back to stock before they rooted their phones. Even if Cyanogen were not ever allowed to make another rom update, in which I do not believe the case, we still have a fantastic phone. Cyanogens latest 4.1.11.1 rom mod will always be way better than anything TMO puts out for the G1. TMO said they would have 3 updates. Two large and one small. We had one large, the 1.5, and the small one in which was the security update. The last large update was the soon to be 1.6 Donut. Cyanogen's 4.1.11.1 already has that and much more! If we never get another update from Cyanogen, dont go back to stock for crying out loud. The 4.1.11.1 is way far ahead than the last Donut update thats coming out. There are not going to be anymore updates for the G1. The Android 2.0 is going to the Android Shole for Verizon. I am just feeling very blessed that I have Cyanogens latest build on my phone. My phone now will always be far superior than what TMO and Android has for the G1. Dont be stipid and go back to the original stock man. You will quickly see what a mistake that is. Cyanogen, if we never get an update for our G1, in which I dont believe will be the case, I say thanks from the bottom of my heart for making my cell phone, the G1, far greater than it was meant to be!!!!
[G1 Android Development] AustinAce:
1. Get the original SPL for your phone, get it here

2. Rename it to update.zip and copy it to your sd card. /sdcard

3. Download the DREAIMG.nbh from here.

4. Place DREAIMG.nbh on the root of your SD card. /sdcard

5. Go into your phones recovery. [Hold the home & power button]

6. Push Alt+S on your G1 to flash it with update.zip

7. After it does its thing, getting back to your home screen.

OKAY DID THIS AND I NOW i HAVE THE ORIGINAL SPL.

Now I want to know how to apply the Dream because every time I click to apply it, it doesn't work. :/

it says

E:No signature (3 files)

E: Verification Failed
[G1 Android Development] NSGJDAWG:
So your saying that if something happend to your G1 you would sent it in with customs roms and etc? Then you would have to pay for a new phone. Modding voids your warranty if you have one.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
UNROOT

no .. it doesn't .. you can send a phone back to them with mods and there is no void of any warranty .. this is a common misconception .. there is no need to return the phone to some specific fashion before sending it back .. you would obviously be sending it back due to some hardware issue and not software
[G1 Android Development] gospeed.racer:
Sometimes there is a fuzzy line between the two though, like on one of my G1's the accelerometer quit working. I tried reflashing multiple roms, and it never would start. Files were missing, making it look like the hardware was at fault (like it was not "found"). I returned it to original and sent it to HTC. They say they just reflashed it, and now it works great. If I had left the modded rom on it, they would have charged me, as it was MY fault being software related. Just adding my own $.02.
[G1 Android Development] AndroidFiend:
so basically your gonna have to rename the spl and dreaming.nbh to update.zip

how would the phones recovery recognize it or which 1 do i flash first and not understanding what to do in bootloader.

EDIT: also would the recovery img go back to stock too?
[G1 Android Development] endpl:
Do you have a goldcard?
[G1 Android Development] karlb619:
I am having the same problem. After it says verification failed, it says installation aborted. What do I do?
[G1 Android Development] endpl:
You all need a goldcard - specially modified sd card.

I had same problem, and it disappered when i flash from goldcard.
[G1 Android Development] karlb619:
I have looked into making a gold card, and I cannot get into terminal on my phone because all the aps force close and I cannot even see a homescreen, just the top status bar with battery and all that stuff. Need some help!!
[G1 Android Development] ThR1LL:
Do you need the gold card non-US phones? Bc I have NEVER had any problems unrooting my phone using the method in the OP and I just unrooted like 4 days ago and got the CRC1 update right away bc I needed to bring it to T-Mobile for something.
[G1 Android Development] rayne127:
I am trying to unroot my friend's G1... I found a tutorial on XDA (link) and it worked fine without any problems on my phone, however when I go into recovery mode (CyanogenMod v1.4+JF) and I hit Alt+S, it starts to install the update.zip and it reboots and starts up in recovery and gets stuck on Formatting CACHE:... I've let it sit for quite a while and still nothing. I can reboot the phone, but it just starts back up in the rooted mod. When I start into the bootloader (camera+power), it's not the three android's on skateboard, it's the colored screen, and it doesn't give me the option to install DREAIMG.nbh file. I'm not quite sure what to do, especially since I had absolutely no problem testing this tutorial on my own phone.

EDIT: I figured out that the bootloader is downgraded and working. Now when I load the bootloader, it goes to the grey screen and says Loading... No image found! I have searched the forums and google for a solution to this program and so far nothing I've found is working. I've reformatted my SD card many times to FAT32, as well as redownloaded the DREAIMG.nbh file... Any help would be great!

EDIT 2: I'm not sure what the problem was or what I did to get it to work, but after formatting over and over and downloading and redownloading, and trying different SD cards, it finally started to work.
[G1 Android Development] Archont:
I guess this comes from the fact that there are different DREAIMG.nbh for the US and the EU version of the G1, so you need RC29 for US, RC7 for UK and other european countries. If you found the right firmware for your phone, it should work without a goldcard.
[G1 Android Development] hiphopsg1holder:
when i add the update.zip to my sdcard and reboot, it says cannot open /sdcard/update.zip

i copied it to my card correctly, is the file corrupted or something?
[G1 Android Development] AndroidFiend:
for some reason when i flash the original spl and then i go to bootloader it says the same spl as haykuros spl and then i cant downgrade to rc29
[G1 Android Development] TheUriel:
Lol , after reading and searching many times i found what i had to do. Thnx.
[G1 Android Development] deliveryboy21:
I am also having the same problem as flexnix [erasing 'splash2'....FAILED (remote: partition is not existed!)], although when I enter "fastboot devices" my serial number shows up.

I am running an earlier version of JacHero(2.7.3 I believe). I've got the default G1 loading screen, a Hero splash screen(one with the little robot), and lastly an HTC splash screen. Any input you could provide would be awesome. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] igotthatjuice204:
i assume i unrooted my phone because i followed all the directions but when i go into Settings>About phone> there is nothing that says system updates ... ... ... what am i doing wrong?
[G1 Android Development] soba5150:
system updates didn't come into play for a few updates from where your at.......your supposed to sit around and wait a few days until you get a update notification from an OTA Update....
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
Oh ok. Well will the unroot stuff work with the new spl? Because that's what I have and just wanted to make sure it's safe. And I was reading on the first page the person who had the problem unrooting until he formatted the sd, do you need to format or just get everything else off?
[G1 Android Development] AndroidFiend:
Well I'm trying lucid's method but when I try to flash the original spl on the original recovery it says verification failed 5 files not signed what should I do?
[G1 Android Development] amlwaycooljr:
This is probably a really dumb question and I'll probably get flamed for it

BUT

is it possible and safe to downgrade to the stock spl from the danger spl?
[G1 Android Development] AndroidFiend:
Yes it is.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
Signed Wrong

i don't think you can do the SPL after the recovery .. i think you need to do SPL first and then the recovery .. you would need a properly signed SPL to do after the recovery and the original on XDA is still signed for root
[G1 Android Development] AndroidFiend:
How would I do that?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
Process

flash a rooted recovery (new method):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=553416

[G1 Android Development] AndroidFiend:
so basically just flash the image on your new method and then flash the orginal spl but how am i going to put the old recovery image back since i need terminal emulator and then theres no roms that suport original spl

Title says all.

I've only experienced TomTom 6 and now i'm using v7. I find it quite slow to be honest. I expected more from it. I'm using UDK R7 and my device is quite fast. But TomTom 7 disapoints me a bit.

Has any1 tried another application that runs faster and does a nice job?
[Touch Cruise General] scalp:
Hi there,

I currently use iGo, it's really faster and more efficient than tomtom ! :)
[Touch Cruise General] HRQ.SLV:
I must agree!

I'm very pleased with iGo!
[Touch Cruise General] 02xda2:
That depends on which part of world you live in and whether all the required maps are available .. !;)
[Touch Cruise General] Bodisson:
Agreed with previous poster.

But, if you live in Europe, specially Eastern Europe, iGO is the best.
[Touch Cruise General] Neville.Holland:
iGo iGo iGo..... By far. the only delay I've ever experienced is on load with iGo is geo-caching the addresses - UK based.

Seems i buck the trend and use TomTom7 - i have igo8 on it as back up but find its not as good for finding address with postcodes.

I prefer the UI in igo8 but i prefer the use in TT7
[Touch Cruise General] Stonewolf:
Mobile Navigon 7 (PDA version) could also be a good choice; I use it for over 6 month by now (with my X7500) and is really good. I also have the iGo 8 (full Europe ... cracked :cool:) and TT 6 (full Europe licensed); from all, I prefer Navigon 7 (also full Europe and licensed).

This is probably a silly question but will iGo read TomTom maps? I've got TomTom 6 but judging from the praise for iGo on this thread it looks worth a go but I'm concerned about having to buy a new Western Europe map.

[Touch Cruise General] Bodisson:
Hmmm... not sure the maps are the same format...

Actually, I believe they are not. iGO format is *.fbl, but there are also buildings, POIs, speedcams...

When you buy iGO, you also state for what area. My iGO came with maps for 26 Central/East European countries...

There are several packages, so choose wisely.

Try sygic or route 66 mobile 8.

Route 66 have the best maps and precision when you make long "drivers".

[Touch Cruise General] DevaVictrix:
Ive tried tomtom and copilot.

I think copilot is far better. Really easy to use, no useless menus. Works great on the polaris. As an added bonus it accepts tomtom POI files and you also get free speed camera updates each month. I think tomtom charge for that. Traffic updates is a subscription unfortunately.

Copilot lets you track your phone on the internet too.

Put it this way, Tesco, Royal Mail and various utility companies use copilot. I did download Garmin and got rid straight away. Glad I didnt buy it!
[Touch Cruise General] cozzykim:
For anyone who needs an excel compatible Logbook like I do, then Navigon MN4, 5, 6, or 7 are the only option (AFAIK, plleeaase tell me if you know any others).

The downsides are, slow startup, slow screen update, instability, the tunnel bug in mn6 which stops navigation if you lose the GPS signal (oops!, that's gonna be a bit of a problem with a Diamond/Ignito then isn't it?), slightly weird routing, and high memory usage (especially when combined with POIWarner).

Oh! and did I mention useless customer service?

All just my own opinion of course
[Touch Cruise General] CompleteIdiot:
I am planning a 4 month bicycle tour around E. Europe (mostly Slovenia, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia) so am looking for a suitable nav system. I currenly use TTN6 with W. Europe maps, but it seems their E.European map coverage is unavailable for TTN6 and limited for TTN7 both in coverage and quality? Hence I read with great interest users recommendations for iGo in E. Europe. So a few dumb arse Qs:

1. Can I copy the files from the supplied dedicated SDHC card to my existing Sandisk 8 gig (soon perhaps to be 16 gig :) card? Like everyone, I want music and other progs etc. Can I just pay and download prog + maps?

2. In iGo is it possible to plan routes suitable for bicycles? i.e off main roads etc. In TTN6 I end up using the 'walking' option (which will route you down paths in town etc), rather than the 'bicycle' option which is not at all different from 'car/road'.

3. What sort of detailed coverage can I expect in the countryside from iGo maps? For example, in Romania, do the maps differentiate between paved and unpaved small country lanes etc.

4. I'm using original WM6. Presume no problem?

Thanks
[Touch Cruise General] Bodisson:
1. No, not legaly. AFAIK, original iGO 8 comes at max 2GB SD and just copying files to bigger card doesn't help. However, I might be wrong.

2. Yes. Take a look at 1st and 2nd capture.

3. Dunno. Never opened map for Romania ;)

4. Hmmm, presume not...

Edit: On 6.0 you could use older version of iGO (which are NOT working on WM 6.1!). However, I don't know what is "freshness" status of maps for those versions...
[Touch Cruise General] Jabba1701:
what about Australian users? I use TomTom 7 but would like to try something else...
[Touch Cruise General] Bodisson:

You might check here: http://www.igomyway.eu/ or contact them.
[Touch Cruise General] pumped:
Copilot is nice, but it is to simple for me.

Maps are also shocking out of major cities(Australia).

I like garmin xt more, it works well on my tc, and has more features.
