Who are you refering to as his? Haykuro? because the only thing on his site is the radio file and the spl file. He doesnt have HTC ROM on his site---> http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
[G1 Android Development] cigar3tte:
I've been patient up to this point, but now I'm going to tell you to learn to read.
[G1 Android Development] MFK DGAF:
sorry man i've been at this for 2hrs.+ now reading and going from link to links but it gets me no where except dead ends. I appreciate the help you have given me so far.

I was just assuming you meant Haykuro because i downloaded the SPL file from him. but you meant Cyan. thats why i was all confused. But I understand what i have to down now since Cyan. can't put google apps in his ROMs i have to first install the HTC ROM then install Cyan. ROM.
[G1 Android Development] AndroidFiend:
all the files are in cyans post on xda...first htc recovery which is the rom then cyans 4.1.99 then 4.2.5 and prest your done but remember for htc recovery you have to home+back so it can complete writing radio image that's comes with it
[G1 Android Development] MFK DGAF:
can i just install 4.2.5 with out having to install 4.1.99? because according to cyan's site it looks like i can. ----> Talking about the section labled "Flash Android 1.6 & CyanogenMod 4.2.5/4.1.9999" http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_ADP1_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod

I have flashed Haykuro's SPL two times ( downloaded from here: http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/ ) and when I go i check out if it installed the correct one ( by Camera + Power ) it says:

DREA100 PVT 32B

HSPL10.95.3000 ( isn't it suppose to say: 1.33.2005 ? )

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

I'm i flashing the wrong SPL or is this the latest Haykuro's SPL or I'm not flashing it correctly ( I flashed following post #3 of this thread ). Thanks

Wrong keyboard layout

Hey guys,

I don't know, if this question belongs here, but since i flashed DangerSPL (without brickin' :-D) the keyboard layout of my G1 (physical keyboard) switched from qwertz to qwerty. Does this have to do with the SPL or with CyanogenMod-ROM? How can I have my german layout again (it's pretty awfull to have to search for the right ALT+?? key to get certain chars).

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] chili434:
I believe the cyanogenMod ROM currently has an issue were there are some locals missing. Check the official thread for details but he said he is working on getting them back in there. I don't believe the SPL would mess up your keyboard...more of an OS thing.
[G1 Android Development] Swervo:
This should probably be in the Q&A forum, but I figured I'd post a quick reply anyway.

Let me see if I can break this all down. You've applied the spl-signed.zip file, so you've already upgraded to 1.33.2005, and it sounds like you can still get to the bootloader (camera+power), fastboot (back+power), and recovery (home+power). So you haven't bricked and you've got the SPL on just fine.

You're trying to flash the cm 4.2.9.1 rom now, and that's hanging. Just like his other roms, I believe you have to flash the HTC developer rom first prior to flashing his (and without rebooting in between). Details are here:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod#File_Download

(The HTC developer roms aren't on their page now, but he's got a link to a "defanged" DRC83 build that won't mess with your radio).

It sounds to me like the only thing going wrong here is that you're not flashing that HTC/DRC83 rom prior to flashing the cyanogen rom. You haven't bricked the phone, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get into the recovery to flash roms in the first place.

Finally, if you flash DREAIMG.nbh, that won't brick your phone, but it will replace *everything*, including the SPL, taking you back to a bone-stock G1 with a very old Android build.

Oh, and really finally, instead of pulilng the battery, you can usually hit send + menu + power (call button, menu, end call button) and that'll reboot even from the G1 boot screen.

Death SPL and Danger SPL

Is the "Death SPL" another name for the same one we've known as "Danger SPL"? When was death spl released? Not sure if I'm up to date or not, thanks.
[G1 Android Development] farhan_iffy:
(I also agree with cigar3tte, I think you may have not updated your radio first. What are all the steps you did to do the update?

I changed from hardspl to haykuro spl yesterday and it went smoothly. I updated radio, rebooted, updated spl, rebooted and then loaded up eclair.)

but i dont update radio first , now what to do please tell me my mobile is out of wrnty.
[G1 Android Development] GchildT:
Scary Stuff

Updated SPL successfully. That I lost her there for a second!
[G1 Android Development] pershoot:
if you didn't update your radio first, and updated to haykuro's spl (i.e. death/danger spl) first, you are bricked. unfortunately, it cannot be revived.
[G1 Android Development] SheikValentine:
Ok I did some searching and re-re-trying a few of the help threads but I did not see my issue in any.

My Radio is up to date-> 2.22.19.26i

When I try to change the SPL tho it wont take it seems. looks like i still have the same one because the roms that "require" "death/danger" hang at G1 screen but the roms that dont work just fine. Any Suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] :
1. What do you mean "won't take it seems?" You mean death spl won't install? Why is this? It has to give you some kind of error in recovery.

2. Find a pretty ROM that doesn't require Danger SPL.

3. If you're using a myTouch3g, you don't need danger SPL. Get rid of it and go to and engineering SPL.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
If you have a brain in your skull, you will NEVER need a deathSPL.

Just take all the overflow and dump it in the /cache partition and symlink it back to where it wants to be.

And you can *easily* edit the update-script to accomplish this for you.
[G1 Android Development] SheikValentine:
my apologies r3s-rt, reason I stated it seemed like it wasnt taking was because the 3-4 roms i tried that say "require danger/death" spl would just hang at "t-mobile g1 screen".

I am using G1 PVT..So far I jus went and grabbed a hero rom and its ok. But I can not install Pay, KingClick, and i forget the other rom.
[G1 Android Development] Johnny5401:
When I boot into hard spl to check my board type (DVT vs PVT) before flashing Danger SPL I get this:

Drea100. Unknown. 32B

Any idea if I can flash danger? I have reflashed hard spl and same results. Also when booting in spl a screen flashes saying "no image file!". Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] :
oh... g1s. :( yea, sadly they'd usually need a danger spl unless you do what lbcoder said, and i have no idea how.

cyanogen is a pretty good one that doesn't require danger. i'd say go SuperD if you ever decide on using danger.
[G1 Android Development] cu2cool:
I have a MT3G with HSPL .0006 (engineer?) and would like to try out the new SuperD v1.9.2. But it says it requires Danger SPL. r3s-rt says that the MT3G doesn't require Dangerl spl to run SuperD. Can anyone confirm? Is Danger SPL a soft spl that can get wiped?
[G1 Android Development] kathi17:
The Danger SPL is only for G1s. MT3G doesn't need it.
[G1 Android Development] Joe333x:
It says that it requires Danger SPL because this is the G1 section but you are correct thre is no need to change you SPL if you have a MT3G.
[G1 Android Development] cheekymonkee20:
I'm having the same issue as SheikValentine. Doing Danger SPL on my phone won't take. I've tried it 4 times since yesterday evening. I update radio, (after the first time, I didn't do this step since it wasn't necessary), I update SPL, I reboot, go to Terminal, type "df", and none of my memory has changed. I'm lost at this point. Anyone have any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] damngood98:
fresh root. downgraded to rc29. added amon's recovery. flashed new radio. flashed danger spl. rebooted. now nothing. stuck on g1 boot screen. bricked?
[G1 Android Development] timkoss:
yes , bricked ;/
[G1 Android Development] cg87:
Did you check to see if your G1 has a PVT board and NOT a DVT board?
[G1 Android Development] redd12345:
How to go about this?

I've had the DeathSPL for sometime, but I am interested in what I would have to put in the update script so that I can make builds for people who do not. If you would please list what I would need to enter into it. I would be greatful (either here or PM.) Thank you for your time.

Red.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Can you provide ANY EVIDENCE AT ALL that DVT boards are more likely to brick than PVT?

I can guarantee that plenty of DVT boards work fine, and that MANY PVT boards bricked DESPITE the owner following the radio-then-spl procedure.

No, I'm sorry, but there is no link between DVT and bricking. This was an early ASSUMPTION that turned out to be invalid. There are other (unknown) factors involved besides the correct radio version and the DVT/PVT.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Simply create a directory in the /cache partition, install your overflow files to there, and symlink to them from the /system partition.

It may help to pick and choose the files you put there to ensure that files accessed from the /cache partition don't need to be accessed until AFTER the /cache partition is actually mounted, so for example, gallery can go there, youtube app, etc.

By reading through an existing update-script, you can see the commands used to format and install files. Just reuse those commands and tailor them to putting your files where you really need them.
[G1 Android Development] cg87:
Nope.

Can you provide any evidence that the SPL will work fine on a DVT board? Post a picture of the phone in fastboot mode with a DVT board and the SPL installed. Since you said there are plenty that are working fine, this shouldn't be too hard. Seeing is believing. You are all talk and never back up what you say.

You repeatedly emphasize that it is easy to make all roms work without DangerSPL. DO IT. Take one of the popular roms that require the Danger SPL and make a version that does not. Since you feel so strongly about it, do something about it.

As for myself, the Danger SPL works perfectly fine for me.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Yes. There was a survey thread quite a while back when the bricks started happening. The survey included PVT NOT BRICKED, PVT BRICKED, DVT NOT BRICKED, and DVT BRICKED. The proportion of DVT BRICKED to DVT NOT BRICKED was about the same as the proportion of PVT BRICKED to PVT NOT BRICKED. If you really want to read the thread, it is buried MANY pages back, but is still on this forum for you to look up.

I have given you already ALL of the information you need in order to do so. It is your choice whether you want to apply it or not. I have no intention of spoon feeding you just because you don't feel like following some fairly straightforward instructions.
[G1 Android Development] Joe333x:
I think the issue with the DVT board is the fact that the SPL is simply a hacked version of the MT3G SPL which as I understand has a PVT board. I have come to the conclusion that the reason the SPL is not compatible with older radios is because the MT3G never had the older radios there for the SPL for it did not need to be compatible with the older radio versions. Also the MT3G never had a DVT board there for the SPL also did not have to be compatible with DVT boards. These are just matters of opinion but they seem to make sense as to why the SPL causes bricks when it is mixed with an older radio or a DVT board

[G1 Android Development] nickeedoo:
Sorry to be the newbie that asks stupid questions, but I'm really new to flashing and such, and it would be really cool to not have to buy a new phone. :) So here is what I have and am sure of:

>Newest radio (2.22.19.26I)

>PVT (not DVT)

>HBoot 0.95.0000

I am running Android 1.5, but that's because it won't let me upgrade to 1.6 after an unrooting. Needless to say, uh oh. I get this error:

So if that is going to interfere with my upgrade to Hero, please let me know. If it won't, please let me know also. Anyhow, I just want to make sure that I can safely upgrade to Hero under my current circumstances. Also, thanks for the step by step on this :) If you need any more info, please let me know, and if I wasn't supposed to ask questions, please let me know that also so that I can ask in the right place. Thanks.

Edit: I fixed the error by following the steps at the bottom of this page: wiki(dot)cyanogenmod(dot)com/index(dot)php/Full_Downgrade_Guide_-_CyanogenMod_to_Stock

Oh I feel like I'm going to throw up a bit. I've rooted about 5 or 6 g1's now and I have yet to brick one until today. PLEASE tell me there is a way to unbrick this... I can't get into recovery, bootloader, fastboot or normal boot so i think im really ****ed.

2.22.23.2 Radio came stock on this replacement g1 phone under warranty. I flashed dreaimg.nbh from the sd card and downgraded to rc29. I then used the telnet method and flashed amon ra 1.7 cyan recovery. Reboot recovery, copied a few files over using the USB, one of which was the haykuro DEATH spl. Flashed SPL since the guide I read said there was no reason to flash the radio since it was the newest. Now I am bricked.... I will be without a phone at all now, as I had to complain a lot to get this phone sent to me in the first place. Why did this happen? I've done this several times this same way without a problem. I did this same method on my frist g1 and several others, this one is the first to mess up in this way. PLEASE HELP IF THERE IS A WAY!!
[G1 Android Development] akivlin:
I know that feeling from when I bricked my G1 and unfortunately JTAG is the only way to de-brick your G1.

If you are in the UK/Eire I can help with de-bricking free of charge.
[G1 Android Development] darkphoenix2012:
I'm in the US sadly, and I can't believe I did this. At least it was to my own phone instead of one of my close friends. Rooting on the G1 was only dangerous when it came to SPL changes as far as I can tell/remember and that one moment of interruption is all it took to turn the shiny refurbished g1 into another sexy black brick =(... I think I would like to try using fastboot to flash SPL next time. I sure wish good ol dreaimg.nbh could fix this problem. It can be used for just about any type of "bricking" but the spl failures as far as I know.

I died a little with this poor G1 this time. I actually feel bad, I knew all of the risks and was careful as always, apparently this time I rushed through the spl process since it was what I did last. I think I interrupted it by pressing home to go back into recovery to flash a rom thinking it would simply flash the spl then boot into the rom. I made the mistake of trying to save myself 5 more seconds before I could reboot back into recovery if the SPL flashing didn't do it for me already. Let that be an example to anyone.. My fault.

Bricked the phone - any way now ?

Hi , guyz , just bought a G1 few days off craigslist and must was totally loving it , after switching from iPhone.

I recently applied the spl-signed.zip without upgrading the radio and now stuck at the Tmobile-G1 home screen :(:(

I tried entering the recovery mode (home+power) and also the secret HTC reset menu ( home+back+power (2secs) still nothing .

Seriously is there any way around guys , I recently noticed that if I push the scroller+power a blue led turns on but dunno if its of any help !

Is there any way, I can get back ??

[G1 Android Development] raven_raven:
As far as I know, you can now buy a new phone. Or maybe try JTAG method (but I really don't know how it works).

Haykuro + 1.x radio = brick :(.
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
Get a new device, just tell T-Mobile it bricked during an OTA. Maybe you will get a newer device as a replacement.

Don't do this if you are not evil.
[G1 Android Development] majikfox:
I'd like to clarify something:

"The new SPL" and "HardSPL" as spoken of in the context of this thread are the same thing.

I didn't know this and I wanted HardSPL, so I went out on the web and grabbed a random copy of HardSPL which was the wrong version, and bricked my phone with it.

Now that I've un-bricked, I just want everyone to be aware of this.
[G1 Android Development] majikfox:
I had the same problem and I:

1. Formatted the flash card.

2. Re-flashed the radio.

3. Re-flashed the SPL.

4. Re-flashed the latest Cyanogenmod nightly.

Like magic, booted right up.

What I figured out was: You have to flash things in this order or you'll brick your phone.

You can't flash a radio, then a SPL, then a radio.

You can't flash a SPL then flash a SPL.

You have to flash the radio, then flash the SPL.

Need some info on spl

Just recived my replacement G1 after bricking my last one flashing the danger spl.

I would like to flash froyo to my G1. Here's what I have. I'm running 1.6 iv used androot to root the phone. Iv flashed RA recovery 1.7 iv flashed radio 2.22.23.02 when I press the camera button and end I recive this info.

Dream100 PVT 32B

HBOOT -0.95.0000

Radio-2.22.23.02

Sept 2 2008

Serial 0

Now I understand that my last g1 was bricked because I either didn't flash the spl right I tryed to flash with clock work and couldn't reboot the phone ended up pulling the battery and that was all she wrote.

I want to make sure this time that I have the right radio installed and also that I flash the spl with something that will be sure to reboot after flashing the spl. Iv seen 2 or 3 radios that are being said to flash before the spl. I have I'm guessing a us model since I'm in the us.

Thanks!

I have radio version 2.22.19.23 is that considered old because that is what I had, when I flashed the new spl with no problem. Did I just get lucky, and is it ok to upgrade the radio in the future or any upgrades or reflashes. All this talk of bricking has me paranoid to touch it.
