Just a bit of advice when flashing the new SPL: remember to do home+back after the update.

I kept flashing the new SPL and then booting with power+camera and seeing that it was still the old one, so I was scratching my head for a while. All the tutorials I saw failed to mention that you have to do home+back first.

I flashed using Cyanogen's recovery module. I think the older one (JF's?) tells you to do home+back, but this one doesn't.

After I did that, it applied the SPL and everything was fine.
[G1 Android Development] dakidfrumqnz:
is there anyway to confirm if u have the spl installed?
[G1 Android Development] jj71787:
yea if you power on ur phone holding the camera button and power button
[G1 Android Development] mgear356:
correct me if i am wrong guys..

I am on JF 1.51 Rom currently with old hard-spl + new radio. SO can i presume that i am already at Step 4? or do i need to get JF 1.5 rom?

Following the steps from 5 and 6, at step 7, do i have to use back JF 1.51 rom (current rom) OR

I can just grab any new roms here?

Would that make a difference?
[G1 Android Development] Silkky Psi:
Start from step five with new spl.
[G1 Android Development] grivad:
*grumble*

OK.. I've tried this about three times now, following the directions to the T.

Current setup:

DREA100 PVT 32B

HSPL10.95.3000

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Oct 20 2008

Cyanogen Recovery 1.2

Cyanogen 3.4.6

- I put the new SPL 1.33.2005 update.zip at the root of my SD card

- Reboot into recovery mode (Home+Power)

- Alt-S to apply the update, everything goes smoothly, update completes

- Without hitting buttons, remove my SD card, insert it into my card reader, remove update.zip from the SD, replace with Cyanogen 3.4.6 build update.zip

- Re-insert SD card in G1, Alt-X to go to terminal, get <press enter>

- I press enter, type in reboot recovery, G1 reboots into recovery mode.. so far so good

- Alt-S to apply Cyanogen update.zip, update goes smoothly

- Home+Back to reboot.. phone boots up, still 40-something internal memory free

- Turn off phone, reboot using Camera+Power, still have HSPL10.95.3000 Oct 20 2008. WTF.

I've tried both doing a wipe before applying the Cyanogen update.zip and without doing a wipe. Both have the same results.

As far as I can tell, I'm doing everything correctly.. am I missing something..?

EDIT:

I flashed JF's 1.43 recovery.img and re-did the process and it seems to have worked...I think..?

57MB Available Space after a fresh install.. is that expected?
[G1 Android Development] maruutah:
Same error for me as well, not sure what causes this and have been searching for an hour now, this was the only post I found involving it..

however, my error was at line 72 and not line 12, latest radio flashed prior to SPL, the spl install was fine but as with this fellow, I cannot install an update due to this error..no good. It gets almost done with the update process, then that error appears. Did not happen prior to updating the spl..

kind of afraid to go out of this recovery screen..I know, I know; it appears the SPL updated just fine without brick and I shouldnt even be able to be AT the recovery screen if I messed this up (if I bricked), but hey, it's a scary thought! leaving it at the recovery screen so I can at least reboot in console to recovery if needed....thanks for any help]

**EDIT: when I reboot, regular reboot I mean, not into recovery, it still just loads into recovery....

......I can get into fastboot and the such, but even when I take the battery out and turn on the phone, just get recovery (yes, I have wiped...about 15 times now...haha...16th time wasn't the charm either)

using CM-recovery-1.2

**EDIT 2: This will probably be useful. It seems that this error only happens when trying to update to a build that has hero/rosie in it..as those are the one that prompt the error, even haykuro's own hero build does it, using his SPL... Though it might be the recovery as well...?? Not sure how that works, but I successfully installed a Cyanogen build, and the recovery I use is his as well..maybe that is something to consider as well..though that doesn't seem to make send to me but hey, I am no developer..
[G1 Android Development] JazzMac251:
ok i'm working on a theory to solve me and maruutah's problem. I read grivad's post, which is quoted above, and wondered if my problem wasn't wrapped up in an issue similar to grivad's. I checked my SPL after flashing Haykuro's SPL and it said i still had my old hardSPL loaded, even after what was supposed to be a successful flash. I also have CyanogenMod v1.2 + JF. I'm betting that the problems me and maruutah are having stem from this. Unfortunately, my n00bness keeps me from being able to successfully flash back to JF's recovery.

I found the recovery on JF's 1.5 blog entry here http://jf.andblogs.net/2009/05/01/when-is-your-15-coming-out/ but i'm just too retarded to figure out how to flash it. the usual business of update.zip didn't work. upon rebooting after a successful flash, I was thrown back into cyanogen's mod.
[G1 Android Development] :
rename your jf recov to recovery.img and put it on the root of you sdcard and go into terminal and type cd sd card (enter) flash_image recovery recovery.img (enter) reboot and go into recovery and it should be jf's
[G1 Android Development] paindoo:
I am getting error

I followed the step by step but when I put the card back with the rom after step 6 the error is coming as "Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 no such file or directory cant mount the sdcard

Any suggestions.

HELP!!! .... i have tried flashing to the new SPL and from what i can see everything goes fine ... install completes fine and then reflash of rom goes fine , but when i check the SPL has not been updated ?? what am i doing wrong ?? i am following the steps to a T ... with 2 CARDS ... HELP me ....

"EDIT"

Changed recovery img to JF 1.43 SPL goes in fine now .
[G1 Android Development] :
new spl

the hardspl and the new one look extremely similar, both have the 3 skateboards, chack the hboot version mine says 1.33.2005 and the date on it says apr 20 2009, 15:30:43, if you got the same than you got the new spl. only other differnence since i got the r29 nbh on my sd is that to apply the nbh, u hit the tracball to apply it and end to not, hardspl had you hit the end button to apply the nbh
[G1 Android Development] maruutah:
So I tested with JF's 1.43 recov rather than CM's, to see if I get that awful chown/mod error again at line *_*, same error..figured as much. ^-^' still don't know why I can't install any roms that are hero based :( oddly enough I could install them before the SPL was updated, however the home screen was black and my only option was to drag the notification bar down and thats it..but not I can't even get the rom to load up after updating the SPL

again it is pretty weird, since system/xbin IS there in every hero rom i'm trying to load up, however the process seems to think otherwise - thus the operation aborts.

why is it not reading that directory, I wonder...
[G1 Android Development] keatonreckard:
its easiest if you just restore a nandroid backup after flashing the new spl...then you dont have to worry about any flashes or anything after the spl.
[G1 Android Development] maruutah:
I understand that but I am actually trying to flash to rom's that require this SPL, I'm just trying to figure out why I can only update to non-hero based roms after updating the SPL..it's part of the reason why I did the update to the new SPL in the first place..wanted to see the new features first hand..and the rosie UI ^-^ but it just won't let me load up those roms, only every other rom :(
[G1 Android Development] JazzMac251:
confirmed, the 2005 SPL cannot be loaded under cyanogen's recovery 1.2

switch back to JF 1.43 and everything will work out fine, including flashing hero roms. The problem was stemming from the fact that, even though the flash looked successful, we were not getting the new SPL loaded.
[G1 Android Development] maruutah:
hmmm....didn't think of THAT part, been using CM recov for a while now. I will re-flash jf 1.43 and give it a go ^-^

it's always the simplest detail, isn't it?? haha

edit: I didn't get the error this time ^-^! however I am stuck in a boot loop haha, I can fix that on my own though

thanks!

Before updating

spl : Hard Spl

rom : 1.51 CRB43-US

radio : 2.22.19.26I

even though i'd it installed i still flashed the latest radio mentioned in haykuro's project home, and it worked fine, i was able to use phone after flashing the radio. then tried flashing the latest spl from the same page, which went fine. Now when i enter bootloader(cam+power) this is what i see

so i'm guessing i've the spl ready.

but now the phone doesnt boot up ,its stuck at the tmobile g1 splash screen (infinite loop issue i believe). I need some help.

I do not have a spare card or an adaptor, so is there any other means to access the sd card, maybe from the the recovery menu(home+power) ?

This looks different from what other people have, I currently have CM 1.2 Recovery, but if I switch to JF 1.43 Recovery I should be able to get the new SPL safely without a brick right?
[G1 Android Development] ericheredia:
i fixed my bricked g1...

Ok so last night I updated the radio then the new spl. I bricked my phone. As in bricked I mean, My phone would not turn on or respond at all. I spent countless hours doing everything I could think of. A spurt of genius, and voila! IT WORKS GOOD AS NEW. But when I awoke this morn, could not remember exactly what I did. I will update this with step by step instructions on how to unbrick your G1 as soon as I figure it out again/remember. THERE IS HOPE!
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
technically you didnt brick your phone as a bricked phone cannot be unbricked.
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
sorry for the double post, but can someone link me to the JF1.43 that is needed? (im currently using cm 1.2 recovery, so im assuming i cant flash the new spl properly)

nvm ...
[G1 Android Development] SRT102JZ:
ive got the new spl flashed but now when i take my SD out of the phone and put it in the reader, my PC wont open it and let me view the files.

it keeps telling me to format the sdcard. i have alot of things on my sd and cant afford to format it. so how do i get my pc to read the sd?

i tried putting the sd back in the phone and using adb to remount the sd, but all i get is "remount failed: invalid argument".

so how can i get this to work? i need to get my phone back working asap.

*EDIT: Fixed it. While my sd was in the sdreader and phone in recovery mode i opened cmd and got into adb and typed "echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file". after that i was able to delete the SPL update and put the rom update back on.

FYI i was also on 1.2 recovery and CM3.5.2 when i flashed the radio and did not have to flash back to a JF rom. So you CAN install the new SPL with 1.2 recovery, regardless of what others have said.

After downloading the JF 1.43 recovery from http://jf.andblogs.net/2009/05/24/jfv151-images-are-out/

I renamed it update. Put in on the SD. Booted into recovery and alt+s to update. rebooted phone. turned off and rebooted into recovery. PRESTO CHANGEO... Jf 1.43.

THEN

I followed the 2 SD card method above and it worked PERFECTLY the first time. No bricks or errors.

SUPER!!!
[G1 Android Development] legend0fthefall:
Quick question as to what the new SPL does...

I know it frees up some resources...

On the bootloader screen it does show I have the new SPL installed and under busybox df -h it shows 89.8MB under mtdblock 5.

what is the terminal command to see all memory changes the new spl has done?
[G1 Android Development] g1tarrell:

im running jf 1.51 i updated my radio and spl so many times and it wont change to da new radio any ideas please help also i have a hero rom version runnin wit jesus freaks but i want superherov2 already bricked my fone once dont want it to happen again
[G1 Android Development] DelbertJay:
no image found?

After I installed the spl i checked to make sure it was installed correctly before modding any further to avoid bricking my phone. I booted it up with the camera and it doesnt show the new spl. For a split second it says "no image found" and goes back to the old school screen with the red, green and blue background. Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it so I can fix my spl? I have the right radio already on my phone FYI
[G1 Android Development] SyXbiT:
I bricked mine, and need help (it's a company phone!!!)

i rooted, did the old Hard SPL, and installed JF 1.51ADP

I then wanted the faster and more memory SPL, so I followed the instructions.

I put the new hard spl as update.zip and flashed it. I pressed NO buttons, and switched out the SD card to one with JF 1.51ADP named update.zip

I tried typing ALT-X to get to console, but nothing happened. I rebooted and it got stuck at the t-mobile screen.

Now i pull the battery, and try either HOME+END, or CAMERA+END to turn on, but it still boots and gets stuck at the t-mobile G1 screen. So I can't flash at all!

any ideas anyone, or do I need to buy a new phone?

I need it for work ASAP.

[G1 Android Development] kkrace:
the only thing you forget is, you need flash JF1.41 recovery. otherwise you can not get Ctrl + X to promote a terminal.
[G1 Android Development] smurphete:
Does it have to be recovery 1.41jf? Because I have recovery 1.43Jf will that work?

And also has anyone gone from the stock ADP spl hboot 0.95.3000 to this spl?
[G1 Android Development] kkrace:
sorry about that, it is JF 1.43 recovery :)

Yes, i go from the stock ADP spl to this spl.

if you have the JF1.43 recovery, update the radio first, then follow the instructurion. that would be OK.
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
let me see if i understand everything i've read so far

i currently have CMrecovery 1.2

radio 2.22.19.26I (assuming thats the latest from what i read)

and my boot loader is

DREA110 PVT 32B

HSPL10.95.3000

Theoretically, if i flash recovery to JF1.43, i have a 75% chance i won't brick if i upgrade to this SPL, am i right?
[G1 Android Development] dirty_:
Link not found?
[G1 Android Development] SyXbiT:
so I should have flashed to a recovery ROM first?

Is a recovery ROM the same as a regular ROM, but leaves more free space for flashing?
[G1 Android Development] SyXbiT:
nevermind.

bought a new phone.

i posted several times if anyone knew a way to fix my phone, or if it was bricked, but nothing, just people telling me i did it wrong.

obviously I knew that.
[G1 Android Development] imbonez9:
For some reason no matter how many times i try and do this the new SPL wont go onto my phone. Isn't bricking it just isn't loading... I've downloaded it numerious times thinking maybe something was wrong but still doesn't work... Any clues why?
[G1 Android Development] B-man007:
If your using Cyanogens Recovery ROM, people are having problems flashing it. From what I read, you have to physically reset the phone by holding the HOME + BACK keys
[G1 Android Development] Yahrghrr:
I'm wondering if having DREA110 will be a problem since it is stated on the first page that this works for DREAM100 PVT boards and there is no mention of DREA110 successful flashing except for one brick incident with a german G1 around page 10+.

Do tell us if you managed to upgrade to the new SPL.

Don't have an answer for you. I've installed the version from HTC website before applying Haykuro's SPL (http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html#s4). Apparently, it's the same radio version that is posted on his website.
[G1 Android Development] B-man007:
You should use the one he provided obviously for safety reasons, but I'm not the expert. I installed my radio from HTC's site and I have an H. What region are you in and how did you obtain this radio?

[G1 Android Development] dman977:
While rooting my G1 for the second time, I was not paying attention and flashed the HardSPL before the new radio. The G1 will not respond to an keypresses other than Power and Power+Trackball. It just boots into the G1 splash screen.
[G1 Android Development] B-man007:
Which radio were you using? HardSPL can still brick your phone the same way as Haykuro's but its less likely as it supports a wider range of radios and doesn't repartition the flash (IIRC)

If you cannot access either your bootloader/SPL (Cam+power) or recovery(Home + power) and cannot access the ROM, you are bricked unfortunately :(
[G1 Android Development] RegulatorG1:
This happened to me last night after wanting to install the new HSPL 1.33.2005 with the newest radio. was stuck on my g1 screen but still had access to bootloader. had to go to work and didn't have any means of installing a cm rom. posted for help in the q&a section and got various responses all leading me to the right way.

i went to frys after work and bought me a 3$ micro reader, installed the new cm rom on it, place card on g1, went to flash new rom and now its back to normal!
[G1 Android Development] pturing:
my bricked g1

screen died on my old g1 so they sent me a new one. New one came with Cupcake and the 2.22.19.26i radio pre-installed. Rolled back to RC29, got root, installed Cyanogen Recovery 1.3.1, CyanogenMod-3.6.7.2, the Engineering bootloader, and a custom slash1 image. It was stuck in a boot loop trying to boot Cyanogenmod. Adb logcat showed it was in a loop with java crashing on a null pointer.

At this point I could have been conservative and just installed the JF 1.51 image that was working fine enough for me before. But instead I tried the 1.33.2005 SPL, which bricked the phone. Now all it does is show my pretty custom splash1 image.

This is on a PVT board.

Good luck to those working on the JTAG solution. For now I'll be sending this one back to t-mobile
