2. Yes, using the home and end buttons.

3. Yes, updating using Alt + s and you will know when it is finished when it says "update complete" or something similar. It will also prompt you to press Home + Back to reboot (don't)

5. Yes, rename the build to "update.zip"

7. And yes, as before, press Alt + s to apply the build update file.

I will probably add those specifics to the post tomorrow for others who are unsure. Thanks for asking :)

new or old

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.
[G1 Android Development] osho741:
2.22.19.261 is the latest radio, though i think the old rc33 radio was the culprit. i dont know if you can safely upgrade or not, just know do not downgrade
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
omg thank you it works flawlessly it seriously does. You are a life saver. and i got 63 mb on a fresh rom im perfectly fine with this im just happy i dnt have a brick my condolences (sp ?) to those unfortunate few....
[G1 Android Development] SJ@XDA-IIs:
Flashed mine without a glitch.

Coming from: HardSPL, New radio, JF ADP 1.5.

Just to add that the SPL is flashed in a wink (probably less than 10 seconds). Then another 3-4 minutes to flash to Haykuro 6.0.

Overall, the whole flashing of SPL & new image is about 15 minutes.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] slimster:
Ok, need a little help guys. I've attempted to flash my spl after noticing I still had the original 0.35.0000 and have had no luck. I renamed the new spl "update.zip" on one microsd and put cyanogen's rom on a second microsd. Booted into recovery with the card with the new spl in, updated everything said installed, swapped out cards (put the card with cyanogen rom on it), pushed control+x typed "reboot recovery", g1 rebooted to recovery, I reflashed cyanogen rom, rebooted and I'm still showing original bootloader. What gives?!! Any help?

I had the latest radio, loaded cyanogen 3.6.8... worked fine.

Just loaded the spl, stuck @ G1 screen. suggestions?

In trying to run a backup I get an error. go to console an run "nandroid-mobile.sh backup" then I get error mounting ssytem read-only, etc.

Am I screwed?
[G1 Android Development] B-man007:
.......

if you can get into recovery, your fine. People need to search more often. Read the 2nd or 3rd post in this thread...... as well as the first.... all you need to do is find the ROM u want, put in on your SD card as update.zip and flash it
[G1 Android Development] g4m3rz:
If you have Cyanogen mod 1.3 recovery,

use the following steps :

IF YOU HAVE TWO MICRO SD CARDS:

1. Download the SPL

2. Upload the new SPL on one microSD card and name it "update.zip" and upload the update file of the build that you are currently using on the other microSD card and name it "update.zip"

3. Put the microSD with the SPL update in your phone and reboot to recovery mode.

4. THIS IS IMPORTANT (perform a nandroid backup, of course) Apply the update, and once complete DON'T DO ANYTHING.. read step 5.

5. WITHOUT PRESSING ANY BUTTONS remove your microSD card from your phone and place the other microSD card in it.

6. Press home + back to reboot. you should get a small animation showing the SPL update

7. If you boot up in recovery, you have done everything correctly. Now apply the update, reboot, and you're done.

IF YOU HAVE ONE SD CARD:

1. Upload new SPL on your microSD and rename to "update.zip"

2. Reboot your phone into recovery mode.

3. THIS IS IMPORTANT (perform a nandroid backup, of course) Apply the update, and once complete DON'T DO ANYTHING.. read step 4.

4. WITHOUT PRESSING ANY BUTTONS remove your microSD card from your phone, and plug it into your microSD card adapter/SD card reader

5. Remove/rename the SPL update (to something other than "update.zip") and upload the update file of the build you are currently using onto your microSD card. Put your microSD card back in your phone AGAIN WITHOUT PUSHING ANY BUTTONS

6. Press home + back to reboot. you should get a small animation showing the SPL update

7. If you boot up in recovery, you have done everything correctly. Now apply the update, reboot, and you're done.

PS: Mods Might wanna add this in post 3 of first page :)

[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Are you currently "bricked"? What exactly is your phone doing? Give us some details if you want help.
[G1 Android Development] entex:
I do, it's appreciated.

I followed that guide step-by-step because I want the hero-build and this is my THIRD attempt to get it on a g1, since the other 2 phones bricked.

Everything went smooth, until i updated the SPL, and then rebooted. The g1 screen came up like he said, then I popped out the battery and replaced the SD.

Now, the phone won't go past the G1 Screen and I can't even get into the recovery console.

camera + power, and home + power both lead to a frozen G1 Screen.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Please send me your "bricked" phones. I sincerely hope you didn't buy 3 phones.

Did you update your radio?
[G1 Android Development] entex:
I updated the radio, yes. And this happened with the "latest spl", which should be replaced because it's causing way too many bricks.

Well, the first phone, my screen's cracked. So I got a replacement, tried the procedure, bricked. Got another replacement, tried the procedure, bricked.
[G1 Android Development] micool_21:
just repeat the process over from the recovery screen...
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I think what the average person on this site calls "bricked" has nothing to do with a phone actually being bricked. I would suggest setting up ADB and it should allow you to fix this. I don't have the link to setting up ADB right now but do a search and you can find it.
[G1 Android Development] zoid_99:
I bricked one of mine tonight. This is after multiple flashes on my other. I'm not real sure why this other one bricked. I followed the directions to a "T". Just like I did with m other G1 that is fine. It's toast, ADB doesn't see it, cant push any buttons to do anything other than the trackball to give it a blue LED and nothing else. I'm going to T-Mobile tomorrow and tell them that xda-dev ruined my G1!!!!! haha JK. I'm going to try and BS them...
[G1 Android Development] entex:
I would, but the problem is, I can't even get to the recovery screen. home+power only leads to the frozen g1 screen, like I said. As do camera+power.

[G1 Android Development] moto211:
Ok, so I can't believe that I have to post here. I've rooted and updated radio and SPL (in that order) on at least half a dozen G1's without any problems. Today, I wanted to root my fiance's G1 so she could tether. I figured that while I was at it, I would update her radio and SPL. For whatever reason, I mistakenly thought that the SPL update was supposed to come first and the phone is now bricked. I can't get into recovery or the bootloader. She said that since I broke hers, I had to give her mine. That wasn't going to happen, so I immediately got on CL and picked her up another one. But, that's beside the point...I would still like to get the bricked one going again so I can sell it and try to make back a little bit of the loss I took on the whole deal. I haven't tried to ADB into it yet...As soon as I get ADB going on the computer that I'm on I'll give that a shot. Besides that possibility, has anyone found any other possible solution to this screwed up situation?
[G1 Android Development] SlicedKuniva:
If I have a nandroid backup that has the newest radio (just updating the SPL) after I wipe, update spl, wipe, and then reflash my JF rom, could I restore using my nandroid backup and have everything back to what it was. Or will that change the SPL back too?

[G1 Android Development] uiterlix:
Just a noob question. I'm thinking about flashing my SPL. I haven't flashed my radio yet, but when I look at the baseband version in system preferences it says it has baseband version "62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I". It looks like the latest version looking at the 2.22.19.26I part. Do I still have to flash the radio or can I flash the SPL right away ?
[G1 Android Development] iRobC:
Right Radio?

To double check your Radio version go to Bootloader mode (CAM+Power) and it will tell you there. You need to be sure you've got the right Radio! To get out of Bootloader press (Call+Menu+Power).
[G1 Android Development] iRobC:
No Alt X

An alternative to ALT+X is to type 'reboot' or 'reboot recovery' to reboot to main recovery screen.
[G1 Android Development] yggdrasil:

[G1 Android Development] littlechucky:
I think, you're be missing the pimped recovery done by cyanogen and jesusfreke.

You can find it by searching for pimped recovery 1.4

There you have the alt+x option.

Also you have the nandroid backup and everything else wich everyone here meant to be normaly installed along the rooting process.

Does this mean I can skip updating the radio and update the SPL right away?
[G1 Android Development] iRobC:
Good To Go!

You've got the latest radio so you should be good to go. BTW there's a link to a good clear set of instructions in post #402 (mine!) in this thread.
[G1 Android Development] yggdrasil:
Wow, sweated bullets.

Thanks for the advice little chucky.

I got the pimped recovery and that made quite a difference.

So what I did was read the directions very carefully. got my cards ready.

I performed the card swap without actually writing the update just to check if the console switch would work and it did.

I then followed the directions to the letter and well, it didn't brick but the radio didn't update.

The rogers rom still hangs but I could get back into my recover console and reflash my nandroid backup so no loss.

Is the update for the radio this link ? http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/spl-signed.zip

(if not what did I apply?)

The original haykuro links have been removed. Are those the updates I need ?

Can someone point me in the right direction here ?

I am pleased that I was able to recover from all this with out a problem.

Thanks for all the help.
[G1 Android Development] littlechucky:
If you reread your link, you've got the answer. SPL-SIGNED!!!

This is the spl, not the radio.

Now, that you've got the "correct" recovery, you can go to fastboot (cam+power) and this would be quite a difference, too. There the screen tells you everything you wanna know.

The links to radio and spl are postet in quite 1000's of posts. Nearly every thread for becomming root has the links in it. Look for the post, you understand at best and pick out the steps you need. But read carefully. Never update the spl, unless you've checked that you have the correct radio installed. And don't mess up with the files. With the pimped recovery, you don't have to rename the files to update.zip. you only have to have the .zip - files in the home directory on your sdcard. Then you can do update any zip. This would list all the zipped files in the root directory of your sdcard.

Good luck and really, read carefully and give yourself time for understanding what your about to do. I think we have bricks enough here.
[G1 Android Development] yggdrasil:
Got it.

Cool, thanks for all the advice. radio update and spl are different updates with different processes.

I searched forums this morning found what I was needing to get my radio up to the right version the spl should have technically bricked me yesterday because I didnt update the radio first but I just got luck.

I just pushed the home and back button after loading up the soulfire rogers rom and Its working great, thanks for all the help littlechuckie, I am no longer a virgin.

Radio / SPL upgrade order

This is my SPL screen:

DREA100 PVT 32B

HBOOT-0.95.0000

CPLD-4

RADIO-1.22.12.29

Now, I would like to upgrade the radio to latest (ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip) but I'm not sure if this "violates" the rule of first upgrading the SPL..

So questions are:

1. Can I just go ahead and upgrade only the radio image?

2. If I should first upgrade the SPL, to which version?

3. Should I expect to have to install all apps and data again after radio + spl upgrade?

Thanks in advance..
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
Hate to ask this question, but how many people here have asked "what do I flash first" and how many times is it writen that the radio must must MUST be the 26I radio, THEN you can flash the SPL

After that you will need to flash the rom you want to use

Seriously, 42 pages of

Cyanogen 4.2.2 and SPL

Decided to finally flash the death SPL on my pvt G1 running Cyanogen 4.2.2 and Cyanogen recovery. Since I had the correct version of the radio, I decided to just flash the SPL, boot, flash 4.2.2

Got stuck at G1 screen.

Wiped, tried again, stuck again. Since I could get access to recovery by taking out the battery and replacing the battery followed by holding down the HOME button as I booted, I kept at it. Finally worked like this:

Flash SPL

Reboot

Flash the required image for Cyanogen's image

Reboots

Hold HOME

Flash Cyanogen 4.2.2

Reboot.

It would seem that flashing the SPL overwrites something needed for 4.2.2, and 4.2.2 is not a complete rom, which leads to hanging at G1 screen.

Hope this helps someone.

This SPL wipes the nand, so no matterwhat ROM you have it won't boot after flashing. Nothing to do with that particular ROM.
[G1 Android Development] ryanhhnn:
Could I ask you these?

1/after flashing the SPL, does it reboot itself? At this moment have you put the cyan required image and cyan 4.2.2?

2/If it reboots, can we access the cyan recovery?

3/I intend to flash cyan 4.2.3.1, but cyan wiki said that we have to flash the required image and right after that the cyan 4.2.3.1. If we dont have cyan recovery 1.4( which allows us to apply any zip files, thus, can apply multiple zip files), how to flash them continuously?
