What is a PVT Board, where can I buy it?

with friendly greet

starbase64
[G1 Android Development] scorpio16v:
It's the Mainboard version, shown in Bootloader. :)
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
@starbase:

Du weisst ob du ein PVT-Board hast oder nicht, indem du Kamera + Power benutzt um zu starten.

Dann sollte der SPL-Loader da sein.

Such dann oben nach etwas wie PVT 32 B oder irgendwas mit DVT.

Wenn du DVT hast flash nicht!
[G1 Android Development] starbase64:
Hi,

Ist bereits unterwegs zum Umtausch.

I get a not found error when i try to download the combo package. Has it been removed?
[G1 Android Development] gochiefs:
Don't know if this has been posted, but what i did on mine, was copied the new SPL to sdcard named Update.zip, and 5.0.2H5 rom to sdcard named update1.zip. Booted to recovery. flashed the update.zip. When it was complete i pressed ALT-X. This rebooted the phone back to recovery. Did alt-x again. ran "mount sdcard" and then ran the command "mv update.zip update2.zip" and then "mv update1.zip update.zip". After that typed in recovery and this gave me recovery console again. Did alt-w then alt-s and now all is working fine.

If this has been posted already then please delete this.
[G1 Android Development] g1doobie:
worked perfectly!
[G1 Android Development] kvizz:
what a sigh of relief.

a bricked my phone just updating to the SPL.

i then read this, did a wipe, installed the new radio.

then did the 2 micro sd card thing and now it works!

Thank You.
[G1 Android Development] KaCe11244:
If you really bricked your phone, how'd you manage to do the wipe??

Not trying to prove a point or anything, just seeing if there's still hope for my precious phone :(
[G1 Android Development] TemporalShadows:
I finally bit the bullet and updated to the new SPL...worked just fine!

I followed the instructions above, had latest radio. Previously had HardSPL.
[G1 Android Development] Pacothebandit:
Well that was easy enough. Followed the steps using two SD cards and were golden. No loops or anything of the sort. :D
[G1 Android Development] khoaitaychienvn:
You did all those steps and you said you had a BRICKED G1? You have no idea how much I hate people like you!
[G1 Android Development] imnothimm:
I agree its annoying to see

" HALP I bricked my G1 and now it only goes to the android screen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHat does I DO?"

Keeping on-topic though Some people arent as experienced as others/don't know how to read/search the forum before posting their desperate pleas for "HALP" with their "BRICKED" G1's.... (Obviously not the SPL Brick: Pretty much The only way to ACTUALLY brick your G1 )

PVT board

Latest Radio

Upgrade went fine..Installed ION Then Flashed Dudes 1.2 had sd problems reflashed dudes 1.1

Phone bricked....
[G1 Android Development] kevo:
I did it this way, cheers, all went fine except I had to run "mv /sdcard/update.zip /sdcard/update2.zip" etc, to get i to work.

I did it with cyanogen 3.3.5 as the second update file.
[G1 Android Development] I am M3:
Am I the only one having trouble doing it this way?

I'm in recovery, I hit Alt+X after a wipe, and after I "mount sdcard" I get:

mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: No such file or directory
[G1 Android Development] gochiefs:
I just rebooted and tried it again and had no problems typing mount sdcard
[G1 Android Development] jusplainmike:
True Brick

Is there any development on the SPL brick people had trying to update without the radio? Not the looping on Android startup, but the actually failure in the bootloader?
[G1 Android Development] berchielli:
I have done some **** here.

I already have the new radio.

So, I put the "update.zip" on the SD and flash it... It install very quick and seams ok.(wiped before) Pressed Home + Power and reboot and a microshop with a big arrow apears for 3secs and than reboot by itself. After that it boots in the Menu where I can wipe, install updates e etc. This MENU is SPL, isn't? Its exactly the SAME!

After the SPL upgrade, I put on my SD on the PC e put in there my old ROM and everything back to "normal".

How can I check if the SPL install was good?? The "wipe menu" shuld be diferent... Or not?
[G1 Android Development] jusplainmike:
Shutdown the phone, and hold the camera and power button, then check your version numbers to match.
[G1 Android Development] Julies Brnz G1:
find version of phone

can someone tell me how to find my version on my newly JF rooted phone?

The Terminal emulator getprop ro.modversion then enter is not giving me anything.

Thanks~

Julie
[G1 Android Development] berchielli:
It was update OK!

Tks!
[G1 Android Development] n19htmare:
So where did the extra space come from?
[G1 Android Development] futango:
If you had custom boot images and had 2 dif boots. you will notice that the second one is gone. That was taken out and other stuff that i don't know. that is how we have more space.
[G1 Android Development] n19htmare:
To Answer my own question incase someone else was wondering too lol.

/cache was reduced by 39MB. that 39MB was then taken and distributed across /system and /data.

new radio, new spl, pvt 32b..BRICKED!
[G1 Android Development] mattjirmanos:
Hi,

Which radio / SPL files or which files should i download to get the phone back to default state?

I tried to flash the rosie ui, i did the radio, then the SPL, and after the reboot after SPL flash, the phone is stuck on g1 screen.

I have an external card reader.

Can someone direct me to the proper file to put on my sd card to get the phone back to the original default state?

I tried to Wipe, but that doesn't work, any help is appreciated. thanks.
[G1 Android Development] DSBP1:
^^try to flash any rom
[G1 Android Development] mattjirmanos:
^^ Is there anywhere to find the default stock rom?

If I flash a new rom, will this overwrite the Hard SPL that is causing me to get locked up??

Should I just format the sd card again, put rc29 on that, and then just flash that onto it and i should be good?
[G1 Android Development] futango:
Are you sure your bricked or just need to install a new rom. try pulling out and reinsert the battery, then try t o turn on the phone while holding home+power. if you can get to that, then your not bricked. you just need to flash a new rom. if it doesnt work, then buddy you just got yourself a expensive paperweight.
[G1 Android Development] isolated_epidemic:
SUCCESS!

Just adding my 2 cents to the mix. I was worried at first but after significant reading felt educated enough to try the new spl. Info is as follows;

Coming from:

Cyanogen 3.3.6

Latest Radio 26I

Hard Spl

DREA 100 PVT 32b

I put spl onto mem card as update.zip, booted into recovery, applied update, let it reboot a couple of times, when it hung at G1 screen I removed the battery and sd card and used a card adapter to replace "spl" update.zip with "Cyanogen 3.3.6" update.zip, re-inserted sd card, booted into recovery and updated, rebooted and sat back and "relaxed." All went fine and I am now running spl 1.33.2005.

I' m sorry if you don't approve of me posting this. But if somebody like me comes to see about updating to the new spl its always nice to see success stories and how the person went ab out achieving said success. Hope this helps someone in their quest to have the "latest and the greatest" And thanks to all of the Devs at XDA for the trouble shooting and help, without it we would all have bricks. :D
[G1 Android Development] 22350:
bricked. new spl new radio new hero rom .

I am in the forever loop.

Tried reformatting the sd card and reinstalling the rom and everything else.

no luck.

any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] 22350:
why is alt + x not doing anything in the recovery console?
[G1 Android Development] rjscott2005:
Hi- I've got the latest radio and spl, installed in that order. After trying several times to install the Hero-Rosie ROM by following Dr. V's tutorial over at http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f7/hero-rosie-step-by-step-18741/ unsuccessfully I tried your method with only 1 SD card. I received no errors however I've got the same result- the boot loop.
[G1 Android Development] imfloflo:
Post in the right thread!!! if the boot loop, that's because you haven't ext2 partition and app_s install on it
[G1 Android Development] igashu:
Just to clarify, the step by step procedure (2 sd cards, etc) is not really necessary, right? If we are already running JF 1.5 and the new radio and simply want to update the SPL, all that should be required is to put the new SPL update.zip on the card and update through the recovery console, right?

The steps that involve reflashing your current build from a second microsd immediately after the SPL seem extraneous to me. Am I missing something? Is it just that flashing the SPL overwrites some important files on the system partition and they need to be reflashed before Android will properly boot again?
[G1 Android Development] TooSlo:
The problem lies within the updated SPL bricking phones that are not on the most current radio. If you have updated the radio to the newest version, then you can load the SPL without any issues.

I actually bricked my PVT device doing just this. I had an older radio version and upgraded from Hard SPL to Hakyuro's SPL for the 6.0r1 ROM and bricked my device.

Received a replacement from T-Mo after playing stupid w/ their CS and got another PVT board. Put the radio on one card, the new SPL on another, and ran those in succession, then loaded the 6.0r1 ROM on the one that held my radio update and everything went flawlessly.
[G1 Android Development] Jedipottsy:
Hey,

I just updated to the SPL, but now my phone wont boot, it gets stuck at the G1 screen.

Pressing Home + end does nothing, so does camera + end

i wiped the phone twice, then run the update, changed sd card for one with JF1.51 and then pressed alt+x it automatically rebooted
[G1 Android Development] xSeri:
How did you wipe the phone?
[G1 Android Development] Jedipottsy:
alt+w twice
[G1 Android Development] glock30:
Just wanted to give some input. This method seems to have worked out pretty good for me. Only took me a few minutes. The only thing I had to do different was already mentioned by someone here. You have to cd into the /sdcard directory before renaming the files. I ended up using the rogers r2 Rom. If you are comfortable with using the console and do your homework before attempting this, you should be ok.

Sorry for the edit... I put a sad face by accident. Hehe
[G1 Android Development] caleoss:
i have follwed the steps with 2 cards (one with spl as update.zip) and other with (cyanogens 3.2 rom as update.zip) everything "seems" to go fine, but when i check to see what spl is (cam+power) it still says HSPL10.95.3000, what going wrong

i have radio 2.22.19.26I
[G1 Android Development] tricky76:
removed...
[G1 Android Development] innerlight:
I'm in the same boat. I am trying to get ravage's rom to work.
[G1 Android Development] whitemonster:
Do I have the new SPL?

I followed the intructions and updated my SPL (I think) it says:

Drea100 PVT 32B

HSPL10.95.3000

CPLD-4

Radio - 2.22.19.26I

Do I have the updated SPL?

(If I don't, what did I do wrong? I downloaded the new SPL, named it update.zip, ran it. then let it reboot back into recovery, ran the rom (as update.zip) and booted up the phone.... If I don't have the new SPL... why?)
[G1 Android Development] innerlight:
I don't think you do. I am getting the same message on my screen. I even flashed the spl twice. I am not sure whats going on.
[G1 Android Development] innerlight:
spl is working

I got spl working now. After you flash the spl reboot the phone. Don't hit alt+x. I flashed the spl and rebooted and while holding down the camera button saw that I got the spl settings correct. Thanks to boogie1077 for giving the right instructions.
[G1 Android Development] whitemonster:
I'll try it right now and see
[G1 Android Development] whitemonster:
Cool, it worked.... ran the update.zip of the new SPL and skipped the console step... instead just hit restart... cool, hero rom here i come.
[G1 Android Development] tricky76:
removed....
[G1 Android Development] innerlight:
You'll still need to put the rom of your choice into the sd card and rename that update after you either rename or remove the spl update. The following is from boogie1077:

"Then flash the new SPL and ROM. This was kinda a 1-2 punch for me.The new SPL flashes over really quick and there are messages in the recovery to let you know what's going on. Make sure you reboot to let the new SPL finish installing. It will reboot one more time on it's own after that.

My old ROM wouldn't boot with the new SPL. I had to use a card reader to get an update.zip on the card and wipe/reflash. So make sure you have an update.zip ready to go."

I hope that helps.
[G1 Android Development] tricky76:
Thanks! This worked! Instead of hit alt-x and typing in reboot recovery, I just rebooted the phone. The phone came back to recovery mode and I re-installed my Cyanogen 3.4 ROM.
[G1 Android Development] GTIChris04:
Thank you... I had flashed the SPL at least 10 times then read this entire thread to see if anyone had been flashing the new SPL and still seeing their old SPL as the version.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] corollatercel:
+1 on this. I now have

Phone: Black T-Mobile G1

SD Card: Sandisk 2GB

SPL: HBOOT-1.33.2005

Recovery: Cyanogen's v1.2

Rom: Cyanogen's v3.3.8

Radio: 2.22.19.26I

Apps: on SD ext3 via unionfs

:p

Haykuro is correct...there's NO WAY u can brick your phone if you simply READ thoroughly and do EXACTLY as instructed.
[G1 Android Development] gungame101:
heellpp

can u use this for the hero

?
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
cyrgen 3.4 and spl

Tried it with ver 3.4 and custom boot recovery cyrgen. Says formatting cache ..... then nothing. How long should I wait? wait? Went for like 10min screen never changed. Anyone else have this issue?
[G1 Android Development] TEXASMADE1978:
You need the new SPL for the Hero rom.
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
Check to see if you have the new spl by holding down camera + power.
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
spl

I went to camera power got the skateboar dudes says:

Hboot 2005

So I think it worked last time I think it said 2003?
[G1 Android Development] ibu2002:
changed to the new spl but cannot get fastboot working.

Its waiting for the device
[G1 Android Development] :
I think I'm screwed

I installed RC29, got root, and then went to install the SPL. I'm now stuck on the G1 screen and can't access the fastboot or recovery modes. I didn't remember to reflash the latest radio after downgrading to RC29, so I think that's what did it.

Am I out of luck?
[G1 Android Development] darcjrt:
Yes you are out of luck as the same thing happened to me the 1st time. Go to tmob say the 1.5 OTA update screwed your phone, they will replace it. I got a new one in 3 days
[G1 Android Development] imnothimm:
Attention: You WILL brick your phone if you attempt to downgrade your radio after flashing the new SPL or if you do not have the latest radio installed before flashing the new SPL

In short... Yes
[G1 Android Development] sdfsdf:
Bricked my first G1 trying to install the new spl even though i had already installed the radio, don't know why. Got my second G1 today and did it this way and it worked perfect.

PVT, JF 1.51 , 1.43 recovery image , applied radio > reboot > then spl > then JF 1.51 (my currently used build) without rebooting again and it worked perfect!!

Bless you!!
[G1 Android Development] oneeyejack:
installed the spl but then i tried to hit alt+x but it doesn't work.

EDIT:

eh...had to pull the battery and then boot into recovery to load the rom. that's the only way i could get back to the recovery screen.
[G1 Android Development] molotovbliss:
Your braver than I, bricked my first G1 with the SPL, same thing just got a new one, but I'm not as quick to try my luck again, think I'll wait for more firmmer reasons to do such.

One thing I did realize when having the bricked phone and trying like a madman to get back to the bootloader. If you hold down the trackball on power up, the LED will turn blue indicating bluetooth is enabled, sure enough did a search and the device shows up parable but not connected. I don't have Bluetooth on a PC so I couldn't try adb to see if it was possible to get back on to the device, may be some hope for those with bricked phones because of this SPL and have no forms of exchanging it for another at a low cost.

ANYONE DEBATING ON USING THE SPL, READ READ AND RE-READ EVERYTHING!

Its kind of pissing that this SPL isn't configured to not update an already updated radio, would prevent all the headaches for us in the future IMHO!:mad:
[G1 Android Development] enritt:
Fawkk!

Just got my replacement today from a bad screen and I bricked the new one which came with rc30..lmao

I had both the updated radio zip and new spl zip on my SD card, guess which

one i renamed update.zip first? :(:mad:

Well after reading all ~30 pages of this i know for a fact that I have a brick (no recovery screen, bootloader)

and there nothing else for me to do but call T-MO.

this sux, thanks for the info
[G1 Android Development] funbacon:
non PTV + SPL 2005 = Brick

new SPL + old radio (1.1 radio, 1.0 radio) = Brick

I think we shouldn't update new SPL. Should find the way to fit new rom.
[G1 Android Development] jrmjraymond:
Please help!!!!

i stopped on step 3 and turned it off...now my screen is locked on boot up..i cant do a reset or anything, ex...the cam+power, or home and power dont work!! Please!!!
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
I had no problem installing. I used 2 SD cards. First I updated the new radio... then simply rebooted into the old ROM... new radio was working and everything fine.

Put Hero rom on 1 SD card, new SPL on another. Did a wipe and alt + s new SPL, rebooted into recovery with Home + Back. Put SD card with update.zip for the Hero rom and applied it, and voila, worked no problem.

Not sure what the complication is here. Just follow the instructions carefully.
[G1 Android Development] mjb337:
please help im on your 6.0r1 i just applied the new radio/spl which i already know how unsafe the new spl is and it can brick your G1 but according to following instructions it went through as planed but when i went from JFv1.42rc33 to your 6.0r1 im still seeing in my about phone the rc33 build with the ota-testkeys-testkeys something like that but why when i changed my whole build when installing your 6.0r1 im stilling seeing the rc33 build? and i dont see the system updates anymore can you please help?
[G1 Android Development] richie908:
i had a pvt board JF 1.5 and latest radio ... i then also flashed the new spl and got bricked. Stuck on the tmo sign.. sent it back last week hoping ill get another.. not sure why it bricked? i did every thing correctly, partioned ex2 card with app_s on it but obviously never got to use it.

wanna try it again but i done everything correct n i still got bricked!
[G1 Android Development] --phs:
IT IS POSSIBLE TO BRICK A G1 (PVT board) **EVEN** IF YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!!

The complication is that there are problems with the new SPL. Period.

Even if you follow any of the instructions perfectly, it's very likely only a matter of time before your G1 gets bricked.

I was successful at least a couple of times (even after going back to RC29 using the flashboot mode and DREAIMG.nbh).

Unfortunately, and again:

***** IT IS POSSIBLE TO BRICK A G1 (PVT board) **EVEN** IF YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PERFECTLY!!! *****

***** The problem is that after flashing the "new" SPL (after flashing radio 2.22.19.26I), the phone sometimes won't reboot properly. *****

Instead it only makes it to the G1 boot screen and there is then no longer any way to boot into flash or recovery modes.

There is something very bad about the "new" SPL. The only way to insure you don't brick your G1 is:

DON'T USE THE "NEW" SPL (1.33.2005) UNLESS YOU DON'T MIND RISKING A BRICKED G1! EVEN FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS PERFECTLY, THE G1 CAN STILL BE KILLED!!!

Hope this saves even one G1...
[G1 Android Development] jj71787:
i just flashed the new spl and i dont think im bricked because the phone turns on i can get into recovery mode and fastboot but when i reboot my phone it stays at the tmobile g1 screen
[G1 Android Development] 51dusty:
didn't see a post for "IF YOU HAVE ONE SDCARD BUT NO SDCARD READER"

so...i flashed my g1 with 1 sdcard entirely on my phone...and no brick!

#g1 info before update

#note: already had newest radio

g1 pvt

radio=2.22.19.26I

spl=10.95.3000

cyanogen recovery

cyanogen-3.4.1

#how i did it

1. copy spl to root of sdcard as update.zip

2. copy rom(in my case cm-3.4.3) to root of sdcard as update-rom.zip

3. reboot into recovery

4. apply update

5. reboot into recovery

6. goto terminal, mount sdcard

7. mv update.zip update-spl.zip (rename spl update)

8. mv update-rom.zip update.zip (rename rom update)

9. reboot recovery

10. apply update

11. reboot to os...and ur phone should be exactly as you left it before update, but with new spl

#after update

g1 pvt

radio=2.22.19.26I

spl=1.33.2005

cyanogen recovery

cyanogen-3.4.3

#associated ramblings

i did not need to flash the newest radio first, as i had already done that a while ago...but, i don't see why this same method cannot be applied with the radio flash as well(first, of course). so, steps would be slightly different from above...

before step 1:

copy radio to root of sdcard as update.zip

replace step 1 with:

copy spl to root of sdcard as update-spl.zip

insert after step 6:

mv update.zip update-radio.zip (rename radio update)

mv update-spl.zip update.zip (rename spl update)

reboot recovery

apply update

reboot recovery

goto terminal, mount sdcard

...continue with step 7

to be clear...when i did it successfully, i only flashed spl and rom!

maybe someone with more knowledge can tell us if flashing all three this way works.
[G1 Android Development] 51dusty:
when i flashed my friends g1 with new spl, we had same problem...flash your nandroid backups with fastboot...worked for us.
[G1 Android Development] kickfliprock13:
A guide to everyone on how to get the newspl WITHOUT bricking our phone from the beggining!

Step one: Root your phone!

Step two: Make sure when you go into your bootloader it is white with androids on skateboards! (If it's not just then I would restart the rooting step but while using someone elses files if you need the real ones they are over at punk-in.com)

Step three: Update to JF 1.5

Step four: Flash the new radio

Step five: Flash the new spl (MAKE SURE ITS NOT CORRUPT)(DONT TOUCH ANY BUTTONS WHILE ITS DOING IT)

Step six: If it goes back to the recovery and says formatting cache then it worked!

Step 7: Choose a build and flash to it! This radio and spl works with everybuild!

Step 8: Get cynogens pimped out recovery.img
[G1 Android Development] funbacon:
Both SPL 2005 and Hard SPL have 3 androids skating. Do you want to help someone brick his Dream ?
[G1 Android Development] Silkky Psi:
This is the best way I have found for the new spl to work I did the mod last night, I already had the radio...but I attempted to install and reboot without using both my sd cards and got partially bricked. I could get to the recovery boot and also fast boot and seen the I had he new Spl but could not get past the android screen so today I loaded the latest hero rom on my other Sd put in my phone and went to recovery and long behold it installed I rebooted and had the new rom.
[G1 Android Development] madunix:
this is exactly how i flashed my spl radio and rom, just kept going to console and using mv rebooting and just moving on to the next update.zip, my only problem was i kept using the wrong spl, but i somehow never got bricked, lucky i guess, it did loop once or twice but i just kept rebooting my phone until it finally loaded, took 2 reboots to get it working.
