don't do the radio + spl combo update it wont work

this is from haykuro twitter

i would say give this a few days to sort itself out. i don't see what the rush is guys. The new spl offers more space yes, but most of us do apps2sd and haven't required the extra space. I admit its neat to be on 6.0 since its the latest but some users are experiencing problems with exchange support. So if you want to go to a buggy build and potentially mess something up with spl update go ahead but let's not blame anyone else for this.

I am saving the spl risk for the hero rom, which will have lots of significant updates.
[G1 Android Development] jgu71424:
Yes I can right now i put my sd card on my other phone and deleted the updateSPL and then put in 6.0 and changed it to update then put my sd card back into the g1 and alt s.....\

I hope it works

update...

Ah yes reboot oh now HTC screen and...........YES

SPL works 6.0 works everything works thank you XDA and everyone else that made the G1 look like the sunsine

Thanks:D
[G1 Android Development] My_Name_Is_Neo:
If you did Apps to SD & you did not wipe before reboot?

if not then most probably you are rebooting with the SD card which does not have the EXT2 partition.

This happened to me :) and i was like "**** i am among the ppl who are F**ked" but i popped in my old card which had the partition and i was good to go

Can I update to the Haykuro's SPL?

I want to be 100% sure because I tried to flash the regular HardSPL posted over there few weeks ago and it bricked my device...

Any DREAM200 user already tested it?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] funbacon:
Yeah, I'm lucky man :)). My phone alway has newest radio version :D
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
i was running the new spl fine on dude's. but couldn't move over to 6.0. Mine didn't brick, but i was forced to nandroid restore because of force closes, even after wipes.
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
I recommend you just flash your current build and reboot, then do 6.0
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
Alt + x should have worked. Maybe you did something wrong or sometimes you just have to press it a few times. But I'm glad it still worked out
[G1 Android Development] jjq13:
quick question

If i do the SLP update and update radio and everything goes fine. But lets say down the road i want my phone back to being unrooted can i still downgraded with the rc29? Sorry to ask this question but just wondering
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
I'm at school right now on my g1 so sorry about the late replies. If there are still unanswered questions when I get home I'll do my best to answer them. Unfortunately, I have a few tests today so I won't be able to post any more replies until school is over. At 2 20. But I'm sure there are several people here who can answer your questions in the meantime
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
That should work without downgrading your spl as long as you don't downgrade the radio in the process. I think the safest thing to do would be to downgrade your spl before trying though
[G1 Android Development] capndoody:
Update Radio still Bricked

I had the "latest radio" also: 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I

I'm running the 5.0.2r5 build

I re flashed back to the HardSPL and am fine now.

My thought is this (i have the luxury of having 2 SD cards as well as a USB reader for one).

Copy the new SPL update.zip to one card, wipe then flash.

Put in 2nd SD with ROM update.zip, wipe then flash.

I'll report on results shortly.
[G1 Android Development] jjq13:
Ok. But when you flash the Dreaming..bh file doesn't it restore everything to its original setting?
[G1 Android Development] pshadey:
will i brick it now

i have the new spl by haykuro, but i also have radio version 2.22.19.23 is that considered old. My main question is is it ok to update to the newest radio 2.22.19.261 now.
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
I think that is considered old so I would just update your radio just to be safe. And yes, it is perfectly safe to update your radio right now
[G1 Android Development] a_m_jacobs:
Alrighty, it worked for me.

I have a PVT board and flashed the new radio first. Everything went fine :-)
[G1 Android Development] blackknightavalon:
For you n00bs out there, I used "search" when I was a n00b. Believe me, it works MOST of the time. I suggest being as specific as possible with search options, chances are your question has already been answered.

By the way, I just flashed the HardSPL to my phone after having the standard Engineering SPL for a few months.
[G1 Android Development] wendee:
i try that but now i cant get to the recovery menu

my phone will go straight to the tmobile g1 screen n stay there forever

i try camera n power. home n power and seems i cant get into recovery mode at all

any ideas?

how can i get my phone back up and running?

pleeeeaaasssee
[G1 Android Development] V1R3Z:
hello??? ppl read and research

Come on ppl it isnt that hard to read and comprehend

Ok if u press the camera button + power to power the phone up and if u see "PVT" then ur good to go if u see "DVT-1 or 2" then u should defenetly not flash cuz almost every1 with dvt gets "bricked".

So if urs says pvt then go to haykuro's blog and download the new radio

Save it as update on ur sd card and flash it by entering into the recovery (home + power) and i always wipe first that way i dont risk anything

Then turn of the phone again take out the sd card and plug it into the computer using the adapter delete the update.zip thats in it.

Go again to haykuro's blog and download the new spl save it as update in the sd card

Put it into the phone and boot up to the recovery again (home + power)

Wipe again just in case! And aply the update.

Now press home + back to reboot

U will see a chip with an arrow let it stay there for a few mins be patient

Mines rebooted automaticly after 3mins

u will be stuck at the boot screen

(This is where ppl start to panic and blame haykuro for "bricking" their phones)

Take out the battery or power it off how ever

Take out the sd card and put it into ur computer

Go get the rom that u want to install i installed 6.0 and it worked just fine besides the fact that im blocked from the market

Download which ever u want 5.0.2hr5 or adp1 or w.e and save it as update on ur sd card

Put it back into ur g1

Boot up to the recovery (home + power)

Wipe again just in case and apply the update

Be patient the first boot will take a while dont go crazy pulling ur battery

Everything should work fine. It worked for me just make sure u READ. And DONT DOWNGRADE THE RADIO OR IT WILL BRICK.
[G1 Android Development] jjq13:
Ok this what I don't understand, why would you want to down grade your radio? Meaning isn't the radio 2.22.19.26I the newest? What needs would I need to downgrade radio for? So if in the future I were to apply the dreamimg.nbh file it would brick my phone then? Since when you apply that flash it restore your phone back to factory right and doesn't your radio go back to the old radio?
[G1 Android Development] pshadey:
Thank you matt for a clear answer to this question. But if the old radio is the issue why did I not brick my phone. remember I had 2.22.19.23
[G1 Android Development] Metatronx:
Thank you so much

I was at work sweating bullets here since I updated the radio then the hard spl and it stuck at the G1 screen but then i used a coworkers phone (since we didn't have a micro sd card reader present) put my card into his mounted it and through on the new build and it took a little while probably about 5 minutes to start up but it did and now i'm signing myself on and configuring. Thank you again. XDA has an awesome and supportive community. For all those contemplating adding the new build you should really follow the OP's post.
[G1 Android Development] bittermormon:
THANKS!!

Thanks for the instructions. I followed to the T and it worked. I will note that the G1 screen seemed to stay there longer than normal, but maybe that's cause I was sweatin. :)
[G1 Android Development] froggg:
A logical solution to unbrick

wouldn't a pandora's battery unbrick a phone.

What it does is loads from the sd instead the intmem.

All a pandora's battery is a regular battery with a pin pulled out of it. This is a logical solution because this process has unbricked other devices.

So if you put a recovery img and an update on your sd. pop in the battery power and back. unbricked.

I have an extra battery im willing to split open to try this if some body in Chicago has a bricked phone
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
couldn't you just cover one of the three pins instead of destroying the battery?!? just a thought
[G1 Android Development] robbie725:
EEEE Wendee... i hate to say this but that is where those that are bricked are getting stuck at the tmobile G1 screen... i hope that you are not, but it does not sound good....

I am not an expert though, maybe someone can offer a solution...
[G1 Android Development] wendee:
lol to late i already bricked my beautiful g1 uuuggghh

i just find it weird i cant get to the recovery mode or bootloader mode

i stay holding the camera +power button but nothing happens

seem like this is the end of my g1 :confused: im so damn screwed now

no rom n no phone wat else could go wrong????
[G1 Android Development] robbie725:
Wendee that sucks:eek:, but the Mighty Minds are trying to work on a solution...
[G1 Android Development] repl1ca:
followed directions step by step....flashing 6.0r1 right now....hopefully no brick!

MOre troubles

Phone reads:

DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF

So I know I have the correct board. I was on JF1.5 and wiped, took the new radio from H's blog and it was successful. I then wiped again (per forums) and applied the SPL from the blog and am still stuck on the G1 boot screen again.

I do have the new SPL. I can CAM+POWER and visually confirm the success.

I am wondering now if there are other Issues other than the boards being the problem as I clearly have the appropriate mobo and am now not bricked, as I can use the DREAIMG again, but nogo after that.

I went from the DREAIMG to ROOT steps to JF1.41 to WIPE to JF1.5 to WIPE to NEW RADIO to SPL to "Stuck at Tmobile g1 blah blah blah" I can get back into recovery with HOME+POWER.
[G1 Android Development] froggg:
The pin is inside the battery. I not sure if this is correct but i believe its called the achhi pin. Remove it, put the battery back together. Then try it. There's tutorials on the net on how to make these, I have one that i made a year ago but it doesn't fit in the g1. I want to try this but i need a bricked phone. If your in the Chicago area and have a bricked phone, i have an extra battery
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
ok .. well i was reviewing the info from PSP bricks .. you think that should work with the G1? i'm a little far from Chicago to test your battery theory .. i already received my new G1 and have to send the old one back within 10 days
[G1 Android Development] froggg:
I cant see any reason why it wouldn't work. Either way i think its definitely worth a try. It works on the psp. All you would need is to put the recovery img back.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
i do not believe my RADIO was this most recent version .. so shame on me for the error .. but hey .. i got a new phone out it .. let's get these bugs out

bricked here with PVT + WRONG RADIO .. there should be a way around this tho .. like a check in the update.zip file that won't flash the SPL without the correct RADIO?!?

PVT-er here, confirmed safe flash, game won.
[G1 Android Development] diabolical28:
new g1 here shipped with rc33 i got down to rc29 and root but i cant apply the settings to keep root is this a replacement to Engineering bootloader and new radio or is this something totally different.
[G1 Android Development] bigd5783:
could someone really explain to me the whole point of upgrading to this SPL. I don't really see a reason to when we can run the apps from sd card.
[G1 Android Development] testing567:
It's not to make more space for installing apps. It's because all the new builds that will be coming out are to big for the factory /system partition.
[G1 Android Development] rjlan82:
me too. no idea what board i had in there
[G1 Android Development] pshadey:
read instructions.

Did you fully read all the instructions. Because from the sound of it you never reflashed the firmware you had before you updated to the new SPL. If you can get to the bootloader or even the recovery screen Your not bricked you will just need to reflash your firmware or perform a nandroid recovery (if you performed a backup first) through adb.
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
Did you follow my instructions do it? It could have been that, or that radio version is indeed compatible. But I would still say update just to be safe
[G1 Android Development] pshadey:
Honestly i m not sure whos instructions I used, I performed the update on the 18th before the horror stories flooded the forum. But yours are easy to follow and I believe I did it the same way, or close enough (not to brick). I wasn't however smart while doing it I hadn't read any reports of bricking phones due to the spl before flashing, I will just count my blessings for now and make sure I wait(and read more) for more reults before installing new updates.
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
LOL I did the same thing. One person had said they bricked and I was like ah **** I'll just do it. But I did it in like 5 minutes and it worked flawlessly. Then more and more reports of bricks showed up and turns out I got lucky as hell because I had no idea to check for PVT/DVT. But sure enough mine's PVT
[G1 Android Development] skiptomylou11:
Quick question before I dive into this. I have never messed with the SPL or updated to Hard SPL, so I believe I'm on the stock SPL. Does that in any way hinder my chances of avoiding bricking my phone? Everything else seems to be just fine for the upgrade except for this doubt.

I don't ever recall doing anything other than rooting, flashing ROMs and updating the radio, but when I go into fastboot mode I get this...

That should make me good to go, right?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] pshadey:
Your right

All is good now, Thanks Matt_stang you were correct i was able to flash that radio update from 2.22.19.23 with no problem. I was just a little uneasy with all the crazy **** that has happened around here the past few days you know.
[G1 Android Development] pshadey:
In Order to flash custom roms you have to have something other than a stock SPL i believe (correct me if im wrong), unless you have a dev phone.

As far as updating the SPL your phone meets all the prerequisites, but remember everything you do is at your own risk and nobody but your self can be held responsible if something happens:eek:.

:)But do it and let us know what happens.
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
You can go ahead and put a different SPL on there if you want to. I don't think it will matter but you can do that just as an extra precaution.
[G1 Android Development] skiptomylou11:
So you're saying I somehow downloaded a different SPL without knowing? Hmm. Weird. Should I update to HardSPL or dive into Haykuro's SPL?
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
Just follow the steps using Haykuro's SPL
[G1 Android Development] mer6:
AFAIK you can go do all of the ROMs except H6.0r1 with a stock SPL. I went all the way up from JF RC29 to JF1.5 on stock, just updated to the Haykuro New SPL today to do H6.0r1.

Short answer, yes with a but.
[G1 Android Development] Yamthief:
adb cant see the device in order to restore the nand - the phone vibrates and shows the G1 / TMO screen then hangs on full brightness just doing nothing. If i could get anything else to come up i'd be able to reflash it and there wouldn't be a problem :(

Fingers crossed someone that knows more about the inner workings or boot process will be able to work out a fix?
[G1 Android Development] sebas1102:
ditto that ... my G1 hanged at the splash screen too... camera+end and home +end didnt work at all..Fingers crossed...
[G1 Android Development] phatman81:
PVT board

Already had the newest radio installed (verified before applying the SPL)

Loaded SPL, on restart phone stuck @ G1 screen. I am able to load back into the bootloader (and it sees my DREAMING.nbh file... may try to restore to that to see if it restores my G1)... Skimmed through the other posts here and i did follow the instructions. Will gladly test any restore method (if possible). I am at work, so i do not have access to adb unfortunately...

EDIT: I was able to restore my phone to RC29 by applying the DRAEAMING.nbh file that luckily was on my SDCARD from a prior rooting session. I may try to go back after i get root back... will keep updating if anyone is interested...

EDIT2: After doing a fresh root (clean rc29 install w/ hardspl. then upgraded the radio, then the New SPL) Again i am stuck at the G1 logo screen... oh well... guess i'll hagve to wait on this one...

I only get ( E:No signature) when I try to flash anything.

I just need to know how I can get hard spl back on my phone. I cannot flash anything ( E:No signature) so I cannot get to the fastboot console. My phone only does the multicolor bootloader and never gets to fastboot if I hit the back key, how can I install the spl ?

I made a nandroid backup but need to know how to install,push it through adb, any help appreciated.

Do I need to leave the rom on the sd card because I put the rom on the 1gig and I use the 4gig? Thnx again!
[G1 Android Development] Chahk:
Had you read the instructions, you'd know that your phone is not bricked. If you can get into Camera+Power or Home+Power, all you need to do is re-flash the rom you originally had (JF, H, Dude, etc.)

You have that quote on backwards. Knowledge speaks, but Wisdom listens :p

[G1 Android Development] freedomflyer:
Okay, so I haven't seen too many posts from people with JFv1.42. I'm concerned, because I tried to drop the 1.33.2005 SPL on, and it didn't work. Then I had already installed 2.22.19.26I Radio, so I went ahead and tried to install 6.0r1 Build, and it gave me a nasty, different error:

E:Can't chown/mod /system/xbin (No such file or directory) E: Failure at line 12: set_perm_recursive 0 2000 0755 06755 SYSTEM:xbin Installation aborted.

This was after about a minute of trying to flash the 6.0r1 Build, and so obviuosly the files were found, etc...and things were happening, and at the end of the process it spat that error out. If I'm not mistaken...this isn't too common :(

Now, as usual, I boot up the G1, shows G1 screen, then goes right into System Recovery every time. For some reason, my problem seems more unusual, unless I'm mistaken that most people's SPL update didn't work either. Any pointers (I don't have an extra MicroSD...and I can't quickly find a way to put files directly onto my MicroSD w/o the G1)

It would be greatly appreciated...business trip middle of next week :(
[G1 Android Development] m00b3rt:
There is Actually a way to do this without bricking.

basically, all you had to get was the radio, which Haykuro has confirmed.

then load the SPL.
