[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keatliang2005:
Firstly i just want to ask about flashing SPL to HTC DREAM/G1.

i read many tutorial, say that FLAHING the device will potentially brink the device.

i just want to make sure before i made any changes to my radio firmware and SPL on my HTC DREAM

i successfully rooted my phone by using 1 click exploit root, and successfully flash the Cyanogen Recovery 1.4 and successfully flash Cyanogen Mod 4.0.2,

what i did not flash into my phone is the SPL and the radio firmware.

And here is my a series of question

i found that my phone battery life is shorter, i am doing nothing with my phone (just stand by) but the battery life only last a day usually it will last for 2 day. Seems like the battery life is draining faster than usual.

- is that because of cyan build set the clock speed to max during heavy load?

- or i did not update the radio firmware (my phone is buy from singapore)?

About updating the Radio firmware

- if i update the radio firmware only and not flashing new SPL like HARD SPL, or DANGER SPL,and the phone is already flashed (successfully) Cyanogen Recovery 1.4 and the CyanogenMod 2.0.4, if i did that (the radio firmware update) can this cause a brick to my phone?

About FLASHING new SPL

- i know FLASHING SPL could be dangerous, how do i make sure not to brick my phone ? What stuff I need to be cautious and make sure not to brick the phone?

- i have been reading about flashing HERO ROM, but before that the phone need to update RADIO FIRST! and then SPL. Is that only apply to HERO ROM, or it can be apply in any other rom that require moded SPL and new radio?

- is the new SPL like HARD SPL, DANGER SPL load(boot) other ROM as well other than HERO ?

ABOUT NANDROID BACKUP,

- if i make a backup from my phone, in my phone have cyanogen Recovery flashed, original SPL and radio. is the original SPL and radio also backup by the NANDROID ?

- if i flashed my radio and SPL (the new one), and when i perform a restore from the NANDROID backup will the original SPL and radio also restore ?

About the Boot sequence on Android platform if the given schematic draw by me (correct my if wrong), so the SPL is the most basic layer which handle everything from boot, like normal booting into Android OS, Recovery mode and HBOOT or FAST BOOT MODE.

- If in case i screw up the SPL (by flashing the new one), and unable to boot my phone or boot into FASTBOOT MODE or RECOVERY MODE. What else can i do (i know, i'm just prepare for the worst)??

Sorry for my bad English (my English sucks!) and i just want to make sure i don't want brick my phone and cause any trouble and eventually bugging people here and wining about bricking my phone lol.

any clarification or explanation would be fantastic

Thank in advance.. .. :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
For the phone lasting 2 days that is great. Most peoples might last a couple hours after some use. You should always upgrade your radio, without the new radio you can run into issues with BT and dropping calls. And you CAN NOT brick your phone flashing the radio. Once you have the new radio you can flash the new spl if you please. Just make sure you have a pvt board (find out by powering on phone by cam+power). If you do flash the new spl make sure to have the rom you wanting to flash already on your sd card cause the spl will overwrite your existing rom. So you will flash the new rom right after the spl or you will be stuck at the g1 screen (NO its not a brick).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keatliang2005:
i still be able boot into recovery mode ?? if can good...... :p

what is BT by the way ??

i checked from HBOOT,

the info is

DREA110 PVT 32B

HBOOT-0.95.0000

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.261

this seems like a PVT board to me, is that a PVT board ??

oh ya by the way radio firmware is some how related to HSPDA or 3G connection, coz before flash into cyanogen 4.0.2, i always get HSPDA connection mode which is faster than 3G, but now i only get 3G connection.

By updating the Radio can solve that problem ?

btw thanks for the quick reply
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Yes you have a PVT board.

You already have the newest radio.

BT = Blue Tooth

You don't have HSPDA it's just an icon. Some roms have the H icon and some the 3G

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crizznaig:
sorry to bring a dead post back, but I also did the 1-click root and I really want to get my SPL to the HARD SPL as I have teh stock G1 with the current Radio...

Since I have the current radio, I should be able to just install the SPL, then the steps to install whatever rom correct?

thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RanT476:
well i never did the 1 click root process so i dont kno the best thing for you to do before you do nething i check your bootloader so we will kno what you have then we can help you

power down your phone then press and hold

Camera button(Right side of your Dream/G1)+Power Button(Red Phone button)

tell us what you have there and we can go from there to get out of that after you type the info in from the spl press these buttons at the same time

Green Phone Button+Menu+Power Button(Red Phone Button)

and we can go from there
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crizznaig:
pretty sure it's the Stock G1 SPL from what I can tell....but here it is

DREA100 PVT 32B

HBOOT-0.95.0000

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Thanks for the help...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] jancortenbach:
Hey guys,

Is it possible to remove Hard-SPL and flash a stock bootloader? I've seen a thread at the HTC Wizard forum (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=342744) where this is described, but is it also possible for the Polaris? Reason is that I want to return my phone for warranty, and they won't accept it with a non-stock bootloader flashed...

Thanks!

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] jancortenbach:
Thanks man :) Now all I have to do is figure out which of the spl's I need for my NLD phone :) Any idea? Is the WWE supposed to be the same for every language? And is there a known connection between te IMEI nr. and the spl version?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] alladdin:
I think that version of SPL corresponds with first numbers of ROM version.

For example, official WM6.1 named RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_3.13.405.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship, and SPL version 3.13.

But I don't know if it's same in non-WWE ROMs.

Hey, Im stuck! One of the first steps to jailbreaking the G1 is to change the SD card's format. So first mount the phone via usb to the computer. did that. right click the removable disc and go down, click Format, change to FAT32.

Everytime I click Format tho, my phone somehow dismounts my connection to the computer! Everytime! I dont know what to do or why its doing this. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] shockabuku:
i got some problems with my concert2 car radio(audi). my old i780 worked like a charm, the TP2 can connect, but if a call comes in there comes no sound out of the speakers. i made the tp2 visible to all and set the radio to authorised connection. in the settings section i can only set hands free protocol and the tp2 ask every time i connect for a password, although it should remeber it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ruinertt:
I have a Pioneer Bluetooth module (CD-BTB200) and my T-Mobile Touch Pro2 hooks up perfectly with the unit (I can transfer contacts, stop/start calls, etc). However, I cannot get the ring (on an incoming call) to go through the speakers.

It worked fine on my Dash with Jetware and the M$ Bluetooth stack, but the TP2 stack uses the widcomm stack, so previous tools won't work to make adjustments.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] 6sto:
You should have bought a Ford

I have a S-Max and it bonds beautifully. Just kidding... I think this is a situation you should ask for your Audi dealer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] shockabuku:
i think it`s the TP2 causing the problem. Audi tested the Diamond, which also works on WM6.1 and it works. So if there aren`t some fundamental changes concerning the bluetooth drivers, i think there is another problem. i remember that, after installation of tomtom7, i had to replace some bt file to make bluetooth work properly. i found it somewhere here and afaik it was one of the original drivers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ruinertt:
You will need to look at who makes the BlueTooth Stack: Microsoft or Widcomm when comparing the Diamond.

Once you determine the manufacturer, you can proceed down that line of troubleshooting.

As for asking for a password, you can click on the properties of the connected device in the bluetooth settings and check "Authorize this connection" or something like like that.

i have purchased core player and despite numerous request and lots of tinkering i still cant get it to play anything smoothly

films just stutter along

im converting dvds i have ripped on pc to mpeg 4 files with encoder

a typical file is converted to 720 x400 all standard settings and it still just stutters and the audio is well out of synce

even the built in player does a better job of it (but thats not perfect

can some one suggest the best way to convert them to play on core player

and what settings they use to get it play smoothly

thanks for any help
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] solsearch:
If by mpeg4 you mean H.264 then your best bet is the built in player (be it WMP or Album) as coreplayer doesn't support H.264 hardware acceleration on the TP2 (most current Qualcomm chips to be exact). If you wish to use coreplayer use Xvid (or Divx can also be okay).

There's actually a review stating the best settings for coreplayer. I don't remember more than that at the moment. sorry. But good luck :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] combat goofwing:
can you recommend a good converter for converting vob and ts files into xvid

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cmstackar:
Pocketdivxencoder is what I use. It is a great application for converting videos. And I'm guessing from the vob and ts files that your converting from DVDs
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] solsearch:
I've always liked super video encoder from erightsoft. It's free so it's a good option to try out.

little question: i just want to flash a winmobile 6.5 rom. this is without a manila. (for example, in the eneryrom series the manila included.)

but i like manila 2.1 a lot. where can i get it? do u have a link?

i tried the xbox_mods manilas etc. in this forum on wm 6.1, and they weren't stable and had a lot of bugs. the one from the eneryrom e.g. runs fine on my device.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Skeptisk:
Hi. Ok, first of all I have done some research on the forum, but I haven't really found any answer for my problem.

I have a Htc touch diamond. And I installed a rom from the forum, i beleive it was the "shine"-rom. However now i gets weird....

The day after, everything was normal, and then all of a sudden my backlight gets really dim. Ok, could be a small bug i thought.

A few hours later it got darker and it was hard to see what was on the display.

And later on the evening it got almost all black. I couldn't quite tell what was what on the display.

The next day, and still, its totally dead. There is no light in the "ring" when i plug in the charger, and i cant get it to show any life.

I have tried everything, left it in the charger for a whole day, swapped battery, reset, hard reset, super hard reset. left it without battery for a day. Nothing.

Help me out. Any ideas?

Ps. There is no warranty on the phone.

Thanks!! :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] otacon:
Wow... have not seen this before...

Even now, are you unable to even switch on your diamond? If you can't, don't see any way to revive it. If you can, try to flash another ROM and see if it improves...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Skeptisk:
How?

How can I flash it again, if I cant even turn it on? hmmm....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Skeptisk:
Help

Nothing? No idea?

I opened it up, but that didn't shed any major light on the situation....:(

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Humblehippie:
Can you get it into bootloader? {Hold Vol. down button while pressing power}

If it will go into bootloader, you can flash from there
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] otacon:
Nope. He can't even get it to turn on. Don't think it'll be able to boot into bootloader...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Humblehippie:
It just seems odd that bootloader won't even load. If it was something that damaged the OS then the BL should at least fire up. But, I just re-read everything again & see that there is no mention of Hard-SPL, so maybe it damaged the Boot sector as well.

If he didn't Hard_SPL then: This is a great example as to why you should always Hard-SPL before flashing anything.

If he did Hard_SPL: Then this is one for the medical journals {a disease that no-one's heard of & it's a killer}
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Skeptisk:
Strange

Hi again.

I did actually Hard-Spl. And i have tried different ROM's earlier and I never had any problems.

I dont have a clue what to do, and without any warranty im basicly screwed.

I was thinkin, maybe I could get som spare part? Seeing how the "ring" doesn't even light up when I plug in the charger??

When my "ring" didn't light up I had to send the phone back to HTC and they changed the motherboard. Phone wasn't charging or turning on at all.

I apologize if this is not the right forum and I would request that it be moved, not deleted, if possible if its the wrong forum. I'm kind of stuck here.

Have a bit of an interesting situation. I am running Windows 7,

got the USB driver successfully installed... boot up the command prompt and BAM:

C:\android>adb remount

* daemon not running. starting it now *

* daemon started successfully *

error: device not found

C:\android>adb devices

List of devices attached

Here is the weird thing...

C:\android>fastboot devices

HT97JLV05321 fastboot

It looks like the fastboot is recognizing that my phone is attached but the adb shell will not. Any ideas what the issue could be?

LOL, I just switched back from Ubuntu to Windows 7 just to see how things have progressed. There are so many little Windows 7 quirks that drive me crazy that drove me back to Ubuntu almost instantly. Give Linux a try. A good starting Linux OS would be Linux Mint:

I had a similar issue when I tried it. Despite the fact that there are 64-bit drivers for Vista/7 available, I don't believe they actually work for ADB currently. I'm pretty sure everyone who has ADB working is using Windows XP 32-bit.

I can't get ADB to work with my Windows 7 X64 Ultimate. Windows automatically install a driver for the phone when I plug it in. When I try to install my own driver with the one in the SDK, I get:

"....doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems."

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ch4dr0x:
Make sure your phone is in recovery mode and NOT fastboot mode.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
Finally, I experienced that error you people had been reporting. It MAY have to do with the HTC Sync driver, as suggested, but it really had worked fine with other roms before, so I am not sure. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, tried to push the ADB driver manually, but that didn't work. And, before I try to uninstall the HTC Sync driver as suggested (I don't even know if I have that installed), I got it working by just plugging in another USB flash drive. Go figure.

So for anyone still having the issue after trying all other solutions, try this bizarre one:

1. Go to device manager and uninstall the HTC disk drive device. (This alone won't work, I tried)

2. With phone still plugged in, plug in a USB disk drive (or maybe just any USB device?) into another USB port.

3. Suddenly Windows 7 detect that unknown ADB driver, as it should. Now you can go ahead to install the correct ADB driver.

As a side note, this computer running Windows 7 Beta/RC have had a lot of problems with USB disk drives in general. The problems disappear after Windows 7 RTM (final).
