The 'cache' partition doesn't have anything to do with it -- clearing the cache partition is just the *reason* why the next step after update-hboot/radio is to enter recovery mode. The flag is set in the 'misc' partition (which is just a data structure for passing messages between the OS and the SPL). After a *successful* launch of recovery mode, the recovery system rewrites the misc partition for a normal boot, and this is REGARDLESS of what is actually *done* in recovery (doesn't actually need to do anything at all besides load successfully).

(I know you know this ezterry and were probably just hurried in your response... some of the newbs could benefit from the accuracy though.)

Is my G1 bricked?

Hi there,

After reading a bit of the discussion here, I wonder if you guys could help me.

I've upgraded my HTC Dream G1 from 4.x (one of the latest stable releases) to 5.0.7.

Following general instructions, I realized I had to install SPL. I remember installing the ota-radio-1_22_19_26I.zip and spl-signed.zip before flashing the ROM. At some moment, there was some boot loops that made me take the battery off (although I knew I should not have done it).

Well, the thing is that the G1 loops on the G1/T-Mobile screen forever.

Some data I can provide (after the SPL install)

HTC Dream G1 White

ClockWorkMod Recovery v1.8.1.4

DREAM PUT 32B ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-1.33.2005(DREA11000)

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

I can also boot in recovery mode and I see the sdcard content (with update-cm-5.0.7-DS-signed.zip, gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip, spl-signed.zip, bc-5.0.7-ebi1-signed.zip and ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip).

I've been reading some posts but I'm not sure whether my phone is bricked or I can recover it.

Is there anyone that could help out? Reaaaaally appreciated.

Cheers!
[G1 Android Development] kwanbis:
If you can boot recovery, you are fine. I would do a full downgrade, and from that SPL, upgrade to the recommended one.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
You are fine (at least if you ignored kwanbis downgrade comment, then you will need to walk carefully over the lava pit again and I'll hold off opinion until you have done so)

You have successfully installed SPL: 1.33.2005 (aka danger spl)

If you are having problems from here: enter fastboot and run the following from your computer:

fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache

Then flash a rom (for cm5.0.7 flash: update-cm-5.0.7-DS-signed.zip then gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip)

If you still bootloop on 5.0.7 repeat the fastboot erase and re-format you ext2 partition..

Also make sure your ext2 partition is of type "Linux" and the FAT32 partition is of type "fat32" or (if you don't know how to do this with fdisk just backup your data and repartition with ra-recovery [or clockwork if it has the function])

PS:

remove these from the root of your SD card:

* spl-signed.zip -- you don't want to accidently flash an SPL (even if its already installed)

* bc-5.0.7-ebi1-signed.zip -- this is only needed for users of the 3.x radios thus you don't need it

* ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip -- you don't want to accidentally flash a radio. (even if its already installed)
[G1 Android Development] prettyboy85712:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache

Is this necessary if attempting to go from the HardSPL to the DangerSPL? I'm getting "writing 'hboot'... FAILED (remote: partition does not exist)" whenever I try to fastboot flash hboot.
[G1 Android Development] robuser007:
Can you also upgrade from 10.95.3000 (the old hardspl) to 1.33.2003 without having a brick? ( only recovery as fastboot can't work with 10.xx.xxx)
[G1 Android Development] scholbert:
Yes, this should be safe!

10.95.3000 and 1.33.2003 use the same partition layout as well as the same load offsets in memory.

AFAIK should be safe to follow this trail (assuming a 2.xx radio):

First make sure your recovery partition is fine.

10.95.3000 -> 1.33.2003 using recovery (this leaves you with the same partition layout, but enhances fastboot)

To switch to the new partition layout...

1.33.2003 -> 1.33.2005 using fastboot

scholbert

Yea, i just bricked my brand new phone that i got today. Right after i flashed SPL.......

Is there any way to unbrick a G1 without using JTAG. Is there any way to get a computer to communicate with a G1 without having to open it up???

strange issue using fastboot on 1.33.200x

Hey,

i got a strange problem using fastboot on my T-mob G1 with 1.33.2003.

First i'd like to refer to this post by ezterry a few pages back:

So being more and more familiar with all that SPL stuff, i once switched from HSPL 0.95.3000 to 1.33.2003 using recovery.

Obviously no problems at all using this SPL on my G1.... switched the keyboard layout and happiness ;)

Yesterday i decided to connect the device to my linux host and entered fastboot mode (i think i don't need to explain the single steps here).

I used fastboot a thousand times on this host with 0.95.3000 installed on my device and no problem at all.

Calling ./fastboot devices always gave the serial number of my device.

Now i tried to connect with my device with 1.33.2003 and..... no response :(

If i connect to the host the screen says FASTBOOT USB everything is looking fine, but the connection could not be established.

After typing some fastboot commands like ./fastboot reboot

the linux console stucks and is waiting for a response of my device.

The command itself has no effect on the device and fastboot is waiting forever....

I realized that, if i unplug the usb connection there is a response printed out.

E.g. if i call ./fastboot devices the answer is printed after unplugging and says ???????????? (so this in fact is a 12 character string but it seems that the serial number could not be parsed)

Very strange issue..... i think i'll try again on my windows machine :confused:

Aynone ever realized similar problems with the 1.33.200x SPL's on a G1 using fastboot?

Any comments are welcome.

Cheers,

scholbert
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
I've always found fastboot to be a little finnicky, regardless of what SPL is installed. You are VERY dependent on the quality of the USB cable, the machine you are connecting from, and sometimes even the procedure that you use to enter fastboot and plug in the wire.
[G1 Android Development] scholbert:
Yeah agreed, but i suppose there's something else causing this....

Have a look at these outputs from my host's proc (same environment).

First HTC Hero SPL 1.76.0007 using fastboot mode:

T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 8 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 2.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=0bb4 ProdID=0fff Rev= 1.00
S: Manufacturer=htc, Inc
S: Product=Android 1.0
S: SerialNumber=MB008L123456
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=256mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=42 Prot=03 Driver=(none)
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms

Then my T-MOB G1 SPL 1.33.2003 using fastboot mode:

T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 9 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 2.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1

E: Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms

As you see the serial number is not reported for some reason...

Maybe i'll go back to 0.95.3000 and see what happens.

Regards,

scholbert
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
FYI: I just started mine up with 1.33.2003 in fastboot -- its pulling the serial number like normal.
[G1 Android Development] scholbert:
so this is weird....

O.K. that's good to know.

BTW, switch back to 0.95.3000 connected to host in fastboot mode gives:

T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 14 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 2.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=0bb4 ProdID=0c01 Rev= 1.00
S: Manufacturer=Google, Inc
S: Product=Android 1.0

I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=42 Prot=03 Driver=(none)
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms

Also no serial number transmitted...what the h***

ProdID in fastboot mode has changed.

0.95.3000 fastboot:

Vendor=0bb4 ProdID=0c01

1.33.2003 fastboot:

Vendor=0bb4 ProdID=0fff

Connecting to the device using 0.95.3000... is working again.

Though i got this:

root@linux:/usr/local/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.1_r1/tools$ ./fastboot devices
???????????? fastboot

All commands working again.

Seems that my HTSN has gone in fastboot :confused:

Found out that DREADIAG.nbh is not working with 1.33.2003. It identifies itself as MFG diag but refuses to load the main menu.

While running diagnostic with 0.95.3000 the device info prints out everything O.K.

Serial number is the same here as printed in adb mode.

See this while i'm at adb session:

T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 19 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=0bb4 ProdID=0c02 Rev= 1.00
S: Manufacturer=HTC
S: Product=Android Phone
S: SerialNumber=HT852KV12345
C:* #Ifs= 2 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=256mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=08(stor.) Sub=06 Prot=50 Driver=usb-storage
E: Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=83(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=0ms
I: If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=42 Prot=01 Driver=(none)
E: Ad=03(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=84(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=0ms

So that's very confusing... maybe fastboot uses other part of flash to pull the serial number.

The background of my device is that i used it for extensive debugging during the JTAG experiments. Perhaps something freaky happened...

I'm ready for holiday.... 3 weeks off now.

Anyway, thanks for your replies!

Regards,

scholbert
[G1 Android Development] scholbert:
Still wondering about the fastboot issue.

It seems related to my linux host's USB port in some way.

Managed to connect ot another PC also running the same Debian system and the serial number was reported correctly.

I just wanted to report again, because i think it's little strange....

I av the radio 2.xx and want to install dangerspl on my g1...plz tell me the exact commands to give as im a noob :D

thanks

This makes the answer short...

Assuming you installed Hard-SPL (a.k.a. 10.95.3000) already this should be safe:

Hi there.... Another brick while updating Radio......

My hboot was 1.33.2010

Radio was 6.35.08.29

When I was upgrading the Radio from 6.35.08.29 to 6.35.10.xx (i flashed a small 8mb update.zip with AmonRA recovery) the flash went OK and then it said: "Reboot to complete upgrade"

So I rebooted, and this image appeared:

And now nothing else shows up. Not fastboot, not recovery, nothing. Just this damn icon.

Is there anything i can do now??!

Thanks for your help..

hey guys. I am pretty close to buying the HD2. I will be comming from Android, and I really like the free applications...but as far as I hear, win 6.5 does not offer many free apps...mostly everything is paid... am I wrong? is there any place other than marketplace to download apps, safely?

Also, one quick question: why sould i flash a coocked rom? how does it help? i know rooting my g1 was of great help, but does HD2 matter without that?

I hope I post in the correct place, if not please move this post to the appropriate place.!

thank you.
[HD2 General] wicked_beav:
Not the correct place to post, but just like rooting your G1 flashing roms on your HD2 provides improvements to your phone such as updates to the OS, speed, and etc. As far as "free"... there really isn't anywhere else to get them if by free you mean actually free. There are warez sites out there, but we don't condone that here, that is for you to find out on your own. I came from Android (Nexus One) and am happy here with my HD2. The choice is yours.
[HD2 General] FreakyFerret:
I'm new to WinMo, but I've found a few sites to use as app-libraries.

http://www.bestwindowsmobileapps.com

http://www.freewarepocketpc.net

http://hd2apps.blogspot.com

Not all of those are free, but a lot are. If you need a particular function, more than likely, you can find a free app for it.

Also Microsoft announced the other day they were doing some sort of expansion to the Marketplace, so it should be easier to find apps.

HD2

Hello,

I too am a ex-android user. Had G1, Mytouch, Cliq. The HD2 is far away the fastest phone I have ever used. The chefs on this site are amazing, and I for one I believe there will be a day soon when we Hd2 users will have the ability to boot into Android if we want. And you never know, Windows 7 may be in the future too. If you get the HD2, you wont be disappointed.

Good luck!

fhaines:D
[HD2 General] hazard99:
Coming From a Iphone 2g and A t-mo G1 I will say the hd2 is a pretty big change. In some respects I miss android but I am very happy with the hd2. The screen is incredible and its so thin. I laugh when I see iphone users. As far as app a lot are pay. that can be a good or a bad thing. No one wants to develop for a platform where they wont get paid for
[HD2 General] mystik610:
I still have my iPhone...my wife has a mytouch.

Other than the Apps, neither the iPhone or mytouch have anything on the HD2.

Apps are a big deal to some people though, and there aren't very many on the HD2...so that's certainly something to think about. For me, the apps got old after awhile, and I hardly ever used them any more. I made too many stupid impulse purchases on apps I used once and never opened again. Most of them are pointless.

Stupid Question

Dude, either you get it or you don't... its a dumb question bro, sorry.
[HD2 General] jubeh:
I'm buying an HD2 for all the wrong reasons (same reason as I bought the Touch Pro 2), I'm getting it in the hope that it will at least be able to dual-boot android in the future, at best, have native android.

When I saw the Supersonic, I was excited except for the fact that it's a CDMA device and I like T-Mobile better than sprint. My gut tells me that there'll be a GSM version of the Supersonic, but I'm noticing an HTC trend and I think that if such a device were made in GSM, it will be made for ATT's bands and not T-Mobile's.

I'm very capable of making my own builds for the Dream (I'm running a near-perfect copy of the nexus one 2.1 on my Dream), so I know that (other than the screen size) I can make my dream offer a similar experience. I was also making my own Android builds for the Rhodium before I returned it in expectance of the HD2. I'm attracted to the idea of a dual-boot Winmo-Android, so the HD2 is looking more and more attractive but the unlocked device's been out for so long in europe that I'm pretty sure a new, better device will come out for T-Mo US soon after I get the HD2 that I'll regret having it.

Gosh, I'm torn. It's such a sexy device (were it not for the lack of a physical keyboard, it'd be perfect).

They're sold out online, so I havent been able to upgrade yet, I'm just hoping that HTC announces something new for T-Mo us that will make me want to abandon my dream finally (the hypexus one didn't cut it for me) before I'm able to upgrade.

From: Rom Devs read this before posting!

Please categorize your question accordingly, Anaylize which forum to post it

Development forum is only for development of phone OS related stuff

Q- Which ROM is best for me/ Which ROM is the best for 32A/B?

A- Take some time on the forums, look at the ROMs available for your device and individually assess what works for you by reading the various issues affecting them and make a decision. If that still doesn't work out for you, hey, that's what makes XDA great, try a different one and so on, till you find one that YOU'RE happy with. It's very subjective since what my needs are could be totally different from what yours are.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
Thanks for the reply. To run a 2.1 ROM you need Danger SPL, which is supposed to be 1.33.2005, yet mI have the Hboot. How do I get the latest Danger SPL? I have the 2.22.23.02 radio, and the latest CM build currently. I'd like one with all the features of 2.1 without any problems in the wifi/bluetooth/camera/sms and mms areas.

Don't install the Danger SPL, that is for the G1. Get haykuro's SPL (the one in my signature), it works with all roms.

By request (and since my other half runs a HTC Magic, hehe), following on from my Hero, Pulse and Nexus One kitchens and most importantly with the permission of the legend himself that is cyanogen, i'm pleased to present a 'MoDaCo online kitchen' version of Cyanogen's v4.2.15.1 ROM.

Note: As with all of the kitchens, this online kitchen is currently only available to my MoDaCo premium members (those who have signed up to MoDaCo Ad Free or MoDaCo Plus) as it is not yet running on an infrastructure that can support a huge number of users. I don't collect donations - signing up for a MoDaCo premium membership supports future development in many areas and gives you access to great services now and exciting developments in the future!

This is the first CyanogenMod kitchen - if there's something else you'd like configurable in the kitchen, post here or in the kitchen topic and due to the nature of the system, changes can be deployed very rapidly! Of course, let me know if there are any issues too, this is v1 after all. ;)

Click here to view the Online Kitchen at MoDaCo.

Update: a prebaked ROM for Dream / 32B Sapphire and one for 32A Sapphire are now available for ANYONE to download! Sample the kitchen's delights for yourself! ;)

Base configuration (standard CyanogenMod with HTC IME) - download MD5: f1e923f8992911e0c5e8fcaae64ff069

Base configuration (standard CyanogenMod with HTC IME) for 32A devices- download MD5: c65de4774d9b4b704d928cf7f189927d

Enjoy! :)

[Nexus One General] johnlujl123:
Let talk about the Nexus One first:

1. it has touch-sensitive buttons => prone to accidental touch/press

2. those buttons are located

right below

display (ABOVE the trackball) => not convenient

3. it has a trackball => subjected to regular maintenance

4. it has NO Sense UI (or HTC SENSE) => this makes no sense!

Then the HTC Desire:

1. has physical (hardware) buttons => not prone to accidental touches, no issue with touch-sensitivity

2. hardware buttons are located at both sides of the optical trackpad => means better handling, faster in operating/using your phone and makes "looking down to see where the buttons are" almost obsolete

3. has an optical trackpad => faster response and no maintenance needed

4. has HTC Sense => sensifying your UI

Out of these, described above, you can see that HTC is still saying they're the one "that's in charge"! So HTC says: "Google back off!" :D

UPDATE:

Maybe I've used a wrong title for this thread, but in fact I did not mean to insult, or whatever you think I am doing, any Nexus One owner. This is simply my opinion! YOU DON"T HAVE TO AGREE WITH ME! It's that simple! If you disagree, then explain why. Don't be stupid by blurring nonsense! Good day! :)
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Don't agree at all. Everything you've stated is simply personal preference.

If they were really to try and make a fool out of Google then they wouldn't have removed the noise cancelling from it, or removed the simple bootloader unlock command.
[Nexus One General] reuthermonkey:
not to mention, you're missing the point of the Nexus devices anyways. They're simply supposed to be Google's expected standard for the platform. They aren't in competition for the best Android device - that doesn't benefit them.
[Nexus One General] ralexand:
Physical buttons are preferred for me, but I think in they're attempt to make a phone that resembles the appeal of the iPhone (don't flame me for saying it that way, but you know what I mean) they wanted to embrace the "touch" experience as much as possible with the N1.

As far as an optical trackpad -- I don't see the appeal. I would trust it as must as I trust my capacitive touch buttons (not much), and think navigating via trackball is probably easier, or more accurate (never used "optical trackpad" so this is merely an assumption.

It's not like HTC isn't allowed to make a phone better than the N1 just because Google officially backed the N1.

I get this feeling you have a little buyer's remorse :P
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Looking at the Desire forum, it seems it doesn't have native voice-to-text and they're relying on some Verizon keyboard?

Yeah, they're really ripping it out of the Nexus with that :D
[Nexus One General] Th3heretic:
The track ball is subject to "regular" maintenance? What are you talking about?

You seem to be making up problems.

You are listing the bloated Sense UI as a pro? Sure its black and has lots of styling but to say that its massive memory foot print and maybe 2 good widgets justify a WHOLE phone is silly.

TL;DR: Stop making **** up.
