Hard spl or haykuro spl?????

hi again i have another g1 phone and im trying to get hero to run on it but on the boot loader it says i have the dtv spl and the latest radio and on my g1 running hero it has pvt with haykuro spl. my question is can i falsh the haykuro spl over the hard spl? or am i good to go with that? i read in another forum just to flash the special spl once or i will brick my phone. anybody with some advice on this? thank you1
[G1 Android Development] AustinKnight45:
I'd like to know the answer as well, the part were if you already have the newest radio can you flash the DangerSpl and skip flashing the radio again can it be done like that ???
[G1 Android Development] The Sleeve:
Not sure if this was ever answered...the way I've always done it is with the "swappers" app. You can download straight from the market. If its name does not pull it up just search "root." It will be listed with the apps that come up.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
This is absolutely NOT CORRECT.

The only reason you "need" it is because the people who build these images *ASSUME* that you will use it rather than intelligently placing files where they will actually FIT.

There is NO REASON AT ALL why all of the files they are placing within the /system partition MUST be within THAT partition. These files can be placed OUTSIDE of the system partition and then SYMLINKED BACK. These files can be placed ANYWHERE, including /data, /cache, ext3 partition on sdcard, etc.

Do i need to do the cyanogen's Recovery Image stuff before installing a radio and SPL, and i read somewhere that different roms need different versions of these? If i brick my phone can i recover it or is it then bricked for good? this thread seems good but im mainly unsure of the order of things you do stuff in
[G1 Android Development] waqas.sonic:
brick usually means for good :D , eitherway if u follow the tutorials u should end up fine and there are some nice video ones too.

follow the tutorials u should be ok
[G1 Android Development] Hyuukai:
could you direct me to a good tutorial to follow please?

Error on installing SPL

When I try to install the spl I get an error:

E: No digest for Rom.zip.zip

E: Verification failed.

I made sure to rename the Rom file to "rom" instead of "rom.zip" but I keep getting this error. Any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
"Rom.zip.zip"

It was already a zip...On comps it doesnt show file extensions...If the icon shows a zip then it is a zip file...It should just say rom.zip you dont change the name of the rom...Also you should be using Amon_RA 1.5.2 recovery not cyan 1.4 if you are you better get your arse over to his thread to get the updated recovery.

Ok, so...

I was already using cm 1.4 so I downloaded the Amon_RA 1.5.2G. Now i'm having trouble switching over. I'm thinking of just starting from scratch. Could u please point me to another thread explaining how I can do this, unless you have some more free time. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Just do this.You can PM for faster response.

Copy recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img to the root of your sdcard

start the terminal app

$su (not required if you have root already)

#mount -a

Did I brick my HTC Dream?

I have a rooted HTC G1 and I tried to install the Hero ROM... Installed the latest radio first, then installed the SPL and ROM.. I couldnt find CyanogenMod 3.6, so I used CyanogenMod 4.2 (update-cm-4.2-signed) instead...

However, after installing the SPL and CyanogenMod 4.2, my phone is stuck at the T Mobile G1 screen... I can still get into recovery and fastboot... when I press HOME + CAMERA, I see the following...

DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA11000)

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.29I

I'm guessing I didn't brick my phone... but how do I get the phone to work again? Before this, I was using JFv1.51... Can I just flash the old ROM again?

Sorry for this 'stupid' question... Thanks
[G1 Android Development] orangiski:
Finally I got it to work again by flashing JFv1.51 again... Is there any way for me to install Cyanogenmod? I read somewhere that I have to start with an earlier rom and then move up from there... Is that true? Thanks...
[G1 Android Development] halfsight:
Is there an updated guide or can somebody update this guide since we don't have to rename to update.zip anymore and most people are using teh Amon RA recovery. Pretty much the spl is what I am scared of. I have done it 4 time. 4 phones went in and 2 came out.

uummm....after i installed the radio that you have provided my phone is stuck on the Rogers logo.

Right after i installed the radio and reboot the phone the HTC logo popped up not the silver one but the one with the green and silver symbol at the back of the writing. AND then the Rogers screen popped up, and it wont go away.

I pulled out the battery after like 5 minutes of waiting and i reboot the phone...and it still stays stuck at the rogers screen.

I cant get into recovery menu or into fastboot.

IS MY PHONE BRICKED...PLEASE HELP.
[G1 Android Development] Dcandvolcom1:
help?

Hey guys.. I Was following the directions. I verified i had the PVT board, I installed the radio frist, then the spl, I put the Newest Cyanogen ROM on my sd card through adb, wiped installed and i had a boot loop. So i reformated my Sd card into the Fat 32, Ext2 and linux swap partions, put the ROM back on my card, wiped installed, and now it just hangs at my custom flash image..I have the latest cyanogen recovery image, and the SPL i just loaded. Whats wrong?!

how do i port sense ui on my g1 rooted running cm6?
[G1 Android Development] mercenaryhmster:
you can't port it to cm6, you'll need to install one of the sense roms. check the rom bible sticky, look for either a 1.5 sense rom, or 2.1 sense rom, then follow the instructions.
[G1 Android Development] I7V:
when i go to check is my board is pvt or dvt there was writted hero cvt !! ? what is cvt and can i setup the spl or what and find radio version 6 do i still have to setup the new radio??
[G1 Android Development] spaternitejr:
Same old same old... Promise I searched before posting!

I have an HTC Dream that was rooted running a Cyanogenmod Rom for a few months... it was slow so then went back to stock for a few days and decided to try a Hero rom. Re-rooted the phone, partitioned the sdcard, put the recovery on (Amon-Ra 1.7) and then began following this guide. Flashed the radio, and now I'm stuck on the G1 screen. Can't boot in recovery, wont go to fast boot, and to top it all off, the computer wont read the SD card (for whatever reason I've had this problem before and always solved it by using the USB toggle feature in the recovery). Where did I go wrong and how do I fix it... lol
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fuze2011:
I got my replacement Fuze from AT&T and as soon as I did, I flashed WM6.5 on it. And now I noticed that a few things from landscape view are burned in on my screen, and you can only tell when its closed [portrait view]. The very bottom of the screen, just big enough for the left/right soft touch buttons, flashes constantly. And I can see the X for closing a window and the time burned in from when it was in landscape view.

It did this before and went away and now its back. What do I do to fix it? Get it replaced again?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] The Jack of Clubs:
im not sure what actually causes that but i dont think its real screen burn in. ive had it happen and go away. its something weird with tf3d maybe?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] BFieldingSW:
Sometimes I have seen 'Action' and 'Camera' burnt in at the bottom in portrait view, but it's not always visible, and don't see it often
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Magelumbus:
Try turning teh screen brightness way down

I have only had this happen once and it was when I had the screen brightness all the way up. I turned the brightness way down and after about 30 minutes the ghost images went away (gradually).

Hope this helps.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jdwrrzmm:
Turn the phone off and take the battery out for a couple minutes. Worked for me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fuze2011:
It seems like a software issue to me, because also when I go to landscape view sometimes, the icons are all distorted. Looks like I'll be going back to WM6.1 for a bit, until I can find a stable 6.5. :(
[General Topics] Bradaland:
Hi all, so I have found out about this F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C (yes all caps to emphasize it's fantacticness) called "PSR.exe" found in Vista and Windows 7

PSR.exe stands for "Problem Screen Recorder" and it does more than just that.

To begin:

Start > PSR.exe > Enter ... the show begins

I'm a PC, so I love this feature.

Videos are great, but they seem to always be inconvenient to make and edit, and frequently the video seems to contain many long waiting parts.

with PSR you can start it up, go through activities, and then stop it, and it saves your file as a MHTML file abd really low file size.

There is also more great things about this....

It records your activities and types them up for you

It highlights the area of focus automatically

It can be played as a slideshow

It saves as a zip file

You can still edit the shots and add comments

Now not only is this great for someone to record problems and show you, but the reverseis true...you can record "How To's" much easier and quicker and post guides.

Combine it with the Free Sparus EveryWan Personal edition WinMo Controller/viewer, and you can show someone how to cook, install, etc.etc.etc...

Take a look at this quick example

SKITTLES Quick Question

By the way Skittles,

Do we HAVE to flash the SPL in order to use other roms? I heard SPL/Radio switching is the big danger. Can I install the hero rom just without flashing the SPL?

Adam
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
I believe you should be able to flash this to a Rogers Magic without changing your SPL, but changing your SPL makes it possible to make and restore Nandroid backups (which helps like crazy) so I would still recommend it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] adampollack:
I have made a nandroid backup already using the daldroid-recovery.img and the fastboot process. As far as I know I did this stuff without making any changes to my device. A raw backup through fastboot.

However, would I be unable to flash back the boot.img, recovery.img, and system.img using this same daldroid-recovery.img fastboot process?

What is the difference between what I am describing and actually changing or flashing the SPL version.

I just want to do this safely and be able to restore to factory (or stock) version of phone for warranty purposes.

Thanks skittles,

You rock,

Adam:):):):p:p:p:):):)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
You technically could by using the Amon_RA's new recovery (it has the option for Nandroid restore). I have yet to try it with the stock SPL, but you probably could.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530492

Typically, restoring a rom backup is done through fastboot, which is why you need an engineering SPL which won't signature check.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] adampollack:
Well I would prefer to stick to things the way you have done them already. I appreciate you trying everything first, of course.

So Do you recommend I just go with your guides. They are entirely reversible down to the bootloader?

Adam (Thanks for rocking my Android world!):D:D:D:D

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ClintonH:
Not sure if your trying to say you don't like the TouchFlo interface on the Hero rom and want to turn it off/run without?? If that's what you want here's a quote from Fatal1ty about it.

"Here is a trick for those who want performance, and want to come back to other rom, before doing this just try this:

settings-->applications-->manage-->touchflo-->clear defaults

than the first time you press home it ask you wich home you want to chose, check use always this option, and press Home (not touchflow), and there you have, a speedy rom with the good things of Sense (except for the widgets, but you won't get them in other roms anyway "

Anyone running the ion rom having trouble with apps not keeping settings- eg. overclock widget, sms popup, etc.

Not even between a reboot but just when i exit out of the app..... then go back into it and it doesn't have the settings i have set.

Now in version 1.4 the headphones work fine but lost voice and my handsfree is no longer working either?? Any ideas on this?

experience with cyanogen rom

I've been using cyanogen a few days but so far am stuck with:

-wifi doesn't work

-business mail/exchange sync doesn't work

Other than that its a great rom, my battery use has been extremely low, things are pretty quick.

I do miss the hero 'swipe to answer/unlock' behavior, as trying to find the little call button on the magic if you're in a rush digging the phone out of a bag can be a hassle.

Also a few people have commented that things seemed quiet, perhaps one of the volume mods (Amon-RA mentioned he was going to incorporate a volume fix in his as well) is in order.

Still hunting for the perfect rom, but this one's been pretty good :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zidane:
how do i get to install this?

do i just do the same as all the other roms and rename to update?

then do i have to wipe or can i just update it?

Try Amon_RAs Hybrid Rom ... For me, now, it's the best one... Low battery usage and WIFI work so I choose this one over cyanogen's ROM
