[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beav_35:
Thanks for the reply but I was wondering what I have to do to restore my radio and stuff. I don't think that I can just follow that guide on my phone because I will still have the G1 radio. Can I just flash the 3.22.20.17 radio, 32A recovery, and new kernel or should I do the update from the rogers site then just follow the guide? If I can just flash those parts what order should I flash them?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charrion:
Actually, if you can find a copy of the 3.22.20.17 radio and the 32A recovery I can't see why you couldn't just flash them and then flash bcrook's kernel patch. The guide I linked was more for people coming from a stock rom. I used that one myself because I had installed the Rogers update and unrooted before I brought the phone to a Rogers store to troubleshoot my connection problems. I basically had to start from scratch anyway.

If you do decide to try just flashing the radio and recovery, please let me know how it goes, I'll post an extra bit of info on the OP.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beav_35:
Ok I will give that a try. Haykro posted the original radio in his post here. For the recovery the 32A version of cm v1.4 is posted at bcrook's site. I will let you know how it goes. Just out of curiosity, any idea what would happen if someone would try to boot a 32b kernel or recovery with a 32A radio?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beav_35:
Ok well I flashed the 3.22.20.17 radio and the 32A recovery from here because bcrook no longer has the one on his site. When I tried to boot into the recovery it just hung at the rogers logo. I just reflashed the old radio until I can figure out what happened. It might be 32A but not EBI1?? Can you send me a link to or up the recovery that worked for you?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beav_35:
Awesome, it worked! I just flashed the original radio and recovery from your link, then booted into recovery and flashed the EBI1 kernel. I didn't even loose any settings or anything!! You can post that in the OP if you want to. I will let you know if i notice any differences in reception or not.

The guide on the wiki states:

So I was curious if I would gain more memory. The free command said that I had 97932 total memory before and it now says 98948. So I gained 1mb?? I would like to know what you have because you went straight from stock to rooted EBI1.

Hi guys.

I have a MTN (South Africa) htc dream and am trying to figure out how to root it. I have determined it is the same as the Rogers dream but I am confused with this one click root method. I have looked at the one on the wiki where I dont need to replace the radio but I need to update the kernel. Is it the same with this method? ie does this way of using the amon ra recovery image mean i can just use the standard cyanogen mod and use the updater while keeping the rogers radio? In the main post it says I can follow that guide there to successfully root but they change the radio?

Any help will be appreciated!

In a haze of reading many,many instructions, I followed the file "instructions.txt" in

Haykuro's root kit file http://www.4shared.com/file/150872305/d286617/rogers_root_unzipme.html

I got through to #4 ...

1. Place update.zip on SD card.

2. fastboot boot recovery.img

3 [optional]. make a backup with nandroid

3. apply update. (LET IT FINISH, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING UNTIL YOUR PHONE IS COMPLETELY IDLE. DO NOT TOUCH AFTER FIRST REBOOT (WHEN CHIP APPEARS) UNLESS YOU LIKE A BRICK. :))

4. HOME+BACK to reboot out of recovery mode.

5. power off phone, hold camera button and power to boot

into fastboot again

I was not sure when to power off the phone in #5.

I let it sit for a minute after #4 and now I cannot get fastboot by holding the camera button, or any other button.

I just get the rogers logo.

Attached is a picture of what my hboot screen looked like before this.

Any ideas what went wrong?

How can I get it to boot to fastboot or hboot?

Many Thanks in advance.

When I got to that screen I pressed the send button which is your call.

That worked great, but fore some reason my PC would never see the phone.

Nyxll:

If you were replying to myself, David1212, then please note that I was trying to say that I can no longer get any screen other than the Rogers logo. Pressing send will do nothing.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beav_35:
After #4 it was supposed to reboot normally. Then, you were supposed to turn your phone off again.

So your phone can't do anything? It just stays at the rogers logo no matter what you do? Can you boot normally? Can you get into any of the boot modes listed here?

If you answered no to all those questions then you are probably bricked because of a bad spl flash. You could also try the cyanogen irc channel (if they can't fix it no one can).

Those instructions are old and outdated. I would recommend using http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod.

32A or 32B... THAT is the question :)

Hmmm ... so I installed flashrec and it says that my phone is a 32A, but HBoot says:

DREAM PVT 32B SHIP S-ON d

HBOOT-1.33.0010 (DREA21000)

CPLD-4

RADIO-3.22.26.17

doesn't that mean that I have a 32B Dream and not a 32A?

I had it rooted and everything was fine and dandy until the pricks at Rogers forced their crippled ROM on me for the 911 issue. I need it rooted again ... this isn't gonna work for me. Any help is appreciated.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charrion:
You do have a 32A. Flashrec, however, calls it 32A because of the 3.22.26.17 radio. The recovery image it recommends downloading will work though. The 32A part is misleading, I know. The question is whether the updated Rogers rom will allow flashrec to flash the rom.

You may have to try the goldcard method of rooting, but I don't know if that has met with success on Rogers Dreams.

The only other thing I can suggest is to try downgrading to the previous Rogers update which I've uploaded here. It at least allows you to use flashrec.

If you do manage to get flashrec to work, I'd suggest following this wiki on the CM site to install the EBI1 kernel for CM.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] copolii:
This didn't work ... Flashrec couldn't execute 'the command'.

This is a little risky as they are scaning the network for the old radio images and with my luck, mine is gonna get hit just during the few seconds that it's on the old rom (Maybe I can try without a SIM?).

According to the same wiki on CM site, I should be able to use the goldcard method. Problem is that I don't know jack about it. I've got reading to do.

Thanks.

Oh no, I've been cut off. But I've been doing my reading. If I unlock it, then call them up and corset tank them (Being a chick rocks sometimes) and just tell them that I need a network refresh... I *might* be able to get data back without being screwed over.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] copolii:
well there IS a modified upgrade that's supposed to fool the Rogers systems but leaves the SPL untouched (I've been reading so many threads, maybe it was this one). However, one person has bricked their phone.

If you don't NEED your 3G (yay for WiFi), hang on to your rom until there's a cure ;)

OR tell them you're no longer using your dream and it was just a backup phone.

I have to say, I'm glad I dumped Rogers when I was having a problem with their shoddy Edge connection in P.G., BC. I managed to break the contract since they were not providing the quality of service they advertised and I signed up on Telus' new 3G+ network here.

I can still use my CM'd Dream and get better data connectivity than I could ever get with Rogers.

I'm not saying Telus is good; they've got their own problems. But they appear to be the lesser of two evils in this case. Plus, they should be releasing the Moto Milestone soon and I wants it :)

Rooted with the wiki method anyway to root with Haykuro's method?

Hey everyone

I live in Canada and i bought an HTC DREAM 2 months ago from Rogers then i wanted to root it to use a cyanogen rom...

On Cyanogen's website they posted a tutorial(wiki) that explained how to root and use a Cyanogen rom. But this root method work's only when you want to use a Cyanogen rom because actualy after installing the zip file you must install a kernel thing (EBI1) that makes it work on ROGERS HTC DREAM...

here's my phone configuration that i gen when i boot to see the properties, it's written

DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF

HBOOT_1.33.2005 (DREA21000)

RADIO-3.22.20.17

Here's the link for the tutorial (change hXXp to http) :

hXXp://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod

I noticed that my HTC was very slow with Cyanogen's roms... So i want to try the 10mb hack or use the new super D v1.8 rom... But i had been told that these hack's or roms won't work with my HTC DREAM because i have a EBI1 HTC and that these worked only on EBI0 DREAMS.

I had been told also that there's another way to root the ROGERS HTC DREAM while using another tutorial and method done by Haykuro. The thing is that Haykuro's guide is for stock dream's, so since mine was already rooted how could i change my rogers HTC dream from an EBI1 to a regular G1 EBI0???

If you have a Rogers Dream, with the current 911 update situation, having anything other than 3.22.26.17 can get your voice cut off, data cut off, and daily sms/automatic calls from Rogers bugging you to change to their firmware.

Stick with EBI1
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beav_35:
You have the old 3.22.20.17 radio and I would recommend updating that so rogers thinks you have their update applied.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Upgrade_Rogers_Dream_Radio

For EBI1 ports for other roms try bcrook's site (link below). Theres no port for Super D 1.8 but if you send him a pm or tweat or whatever he might make one. A port for the latest Wes Garner Y is on there. It's a great rom, you could give that a try. If that doesn't help enough, you could also try playing around with backing swap. If you find some good settings it might help alot.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XBrav:
Seems the latest news has been on the Magic front, where they have been able to downgrade again using the goldcard method.

My goldcard is ready to go, but unfortunately, my phone is too critical to be risking a brick at the moment.

Here's a brief description (and a guess if it could be directly translated to the Dream)

Simply put, it involves flashing a foreign RUU (in our cases, it would be a later T-Mobile G1 update), and installing it using a goldcard to bypass the checks.

Once the new OS is installed, you would flash Amon-RA's recovery manager.

Reboot into recovery manager, flash a new HBOOT to screw with the SPL.

Run an old RUU (pre 911) and install the old SPL and radio.

Reflash Amon_RA's recovery.

NANDroid backup followed by wipe.

Flash new OS through recovery.

Now, if we can figure out some way to do this on the Dream (my bets would be if we could obtain the latest RUU from T-Mobile), we may have something to work with software-wise.

Basically, we upgrade the OS, but downgrade the SPL, and keep the radio.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JakeArmitage79:
XBrav, if you have the RUUs I will try with my Dream. I posted a theory like this one in the Development section. I could not find any new ROMs for the Dream. The Magic downgrade works because an engineering SPL but I am totally ready to give up the Rogers features for a more forward ready ROM.

On a bit of a side note, I email HTC via the support service to explain my frustration about the removal of Voice Dialing which basically makes my phone illegal to use in the car, and their resonse was that it will be fixed with the Eclair update. They said there is no timeline for that update though. I'd really like to believe them, but we all know where that got us (ie unrootable)
