THANK YOUU SOO MUCH!

i finally understand now, followed the steps and it worked perfectly.

i managed to run The new cyanogen 6.1.

except...one BIG problem.... my data connection STINKS! like real bad!

the market downloads are so slow , when i use wireless tethering my connection is soooo slooww!

:confused:i don't understand...if i had it runnin' so fast, loadin' videos,youtube, animecrazy.net and so on.

now it loads super slow... i know i did everything right..is there a way to make the data connection faster?...please help.

all the bars on the 3G/H are full by the way...but its like i only had edge..really weird 0_0

please help....thanks! :cool:
[G1 Android Development] zosX:
Same here.....just tried the latest nightly and now cpu usage is 100% (system is eating it up). Maybe its the kernel.....I had good luck with the RC/pershoot's kernel now data is pretty horrible. has anyone tried the biffmod kernel?
[G1 Android Development] axlastro:
There is something going on with the kernel. I have furious battery drains - from 100 to 0% in 6 hours. It's the kernel, because I'm using a nandroid from before the new radio and spl and the only thing changed is the kernel (the one in the OP). Please fix it. I'm scared of going back to the old radio/spl.

ROM : cm6_tMoOfficial_Remix - nandroid backup

KERNEL: ezBiffTestKernel20101106-2708_S.zip

RADIO/SPL - new, from OP
[G1 Android Development] fonix232:
If you had it plugged in your PC (or any USB except charger) then reboot phone after disconnecting. These new kernels like this one is based on, have a little problem what makes the phone drain a lot faster when unplugged. It is worked on though!
[G1 Android Development] axlastro:
Damn, I thought this was no longer a problem. Before I installed the new radio and spl I was using a modified CM kernel I think and didn't have issues at all.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Those in the mt3g ota thread are indicating a security ota with a new radio, will need to take a look this evening. With any luck the radio works cleanly with this spl/kernel for those reporting problems.
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
so i downloaded the ota and extracted the 2.22.28.25 radio.img, switched it out in the 2.22.28.07.zip, re-signed it and flashed it:eek:

it flashed, it booted, and it still tells me i got 2.22.27.08:):confused::)

is it really in there?

it also says 2.22.27.08 in bootloader

i know...:o... i just had to
[G1 Android Development] GunToYoMouth123:
Crap,I just did something...that I think is bad.

I accidently flashed the zip 2.22.23.02 radio by mistake , how?

Heh,I was tryin' to flash the mt3g ota rom test 2 and I click it but some how it rolled down to the radio .

It flashed,but it didn't brick my phone.

So now I have all the things I did here,but instead without the 2.22.27.08 radio..

I checked I still have the S-on and so fourth except the radio when I checked in fastboot menu or w.e.

Is this bad? Or is there a way I can get the 2.22.27.08 radio without doin' the steps all over again?...

Thanks. :0|
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
Glad you did it do I don't have to wonder if it's safe. :p
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Annoying but not that bad

If you have a dream with the 1.33.0013d SPL the safest way is to flash the orange.nbh in the op.. that will give you back an s=off spl where you can reflash everything in the op..

Alternative is flash the 1.33.2005 spl so long as you have 1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d .. then you can use that to flash from the begging..
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
just don't reflash 2.22.27.08.zip from recovery

http://www.mediafire.com/?zhd85bxq9gp24cu
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
stop telling people to flash the radio via recovery....
[G1 Android Development] julianjm:
Why is it safer to flash from fastboot?
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
Went through that once before when attempting to update to 27.08 while running ezterry's ota hack. It boot-looped.

Just flashed back to 23.02 and I was fine.

Why, is it unsafe? I've flashed a couple of radios back and forth with no issues. It made me nervous though...

If there's a safer and better way, please enlighten me so I can enlighten others when I have the opportunity.
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
........................................................................................................
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
Due to the "reboot to recovery" flag, which is set when you flash a radio using recovery. -> There is a chance that you will get brick if spl and radio are not compatible ...
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
because, when you flash a radio via recovery , a boot to recovery flag is set.

if something goes wrong you are stuck, as you can't unset that flag

you have a brick

so what could go wrong

radio incompatible with spl

recovery got corrupt

radio flash bad

unlikely , but not impossible.

If you flash via fastboot, you won't get stuck in this loop if something goes wrong.

There is a reason why Ezterry did not make these .img files recovery flashable.. He doesn't want you to risk bricking your phone.

making them flashable is very easy to do ( Any idiot can do it ) , handing them out like candy is irresponsible imo.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Correct, this os true for both radio and spl flashes from recovery..

If we know your starting point and ending point we can make a script to be mostly safe, but most of these update.zip s don't check and as dangerspl proves not everyone is good at verifying the system before flashing a brick.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
I imagine you have crossed a road and lived before.

does that mean you can cross a road without looking both ways?

[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
2.22.28.25 works with ezterry's 2708 kernel

after viewing the cautionary tale of dave prowse and the green cross team, i rethought my foolish ways

i flashed 1.33.2005 engineering from recovery

fastboot flash radio radio.img (the new 2.22.28.25)

rebooted into recovery,then flashed 1.33.0013 from recovery

wiped dalvik

flashed my rom from recovery

flashed ezterry's 2708 patched kernel from recovery

and i can confirm, radio is there, still have the extra 15MB of RAM

now to see if its even worthwhile reception-wise
[G1 Android Development] julianjm:
Thanks for the explanation... I guess that you only need to flash a SPL zip from recovery when your current one has S-ON SPL. Is that correct?
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
whoops, wrong thread
[G1 Android Development] zosX:
Having good luck so far with reflashing everything and running with a nandroid of the 239 nightly. Battery drain is bad....going to try using my real charger again tonight...thanks for the tip about usb power....ill keep watching this thread for more developments......
[G1 Android Development] GunToYoMouth123:
glad it helped, atleast this mistake did something good. :0D

yes sir !

thank you sir ! :cool:

thanks for the heads up, lol i was gon' try but i was like.....naaaaaaaaaaaah! Ima go with Firerat on this one since he's bin helpin' me :D
[G1 Android Development] zosX:
Also....if someone can email me a signed zip if the new radio id much appreciate it....zosxavius. AT. Gmail.com. i'd be glad to give it a shot.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
::facepalm::
[G1 Android Development] zosX:
Oh come on...I already flashed the 15mb hack radio...if I can flash that ok from recovery I don't see why the newer radio would fail. I understand your reasoning, but adb refused to work with my phone in fastboot so I took some chances and everything still turned out fine. I'm willing to further push the envelope. Its not like I'm a total moron who doesn't understand the risks involved. I've already established that amon ra 1.7 flashes anything I've thrown at it and I have no reason to fear a new radio. Flashing the spl is seemingly far more dangerous and I've made it past deathspl with just recovery. I did try to install via fastboot, but I'm always open to new methods and someone already claimed success so......why not?

As long as you understand the dangers going in you can't really blame anyone but yourself when things go awry. it took a lot of courage to flash deathspl and now that I managed that I'm a little less afraid to experiment a bit here....its only a phone....not an organ like my heart or liver I could potentially screw up.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
well make your own zip then
[G1 Android Development] zosX:
Sure...just need to learn what a signed zip needs.....
[G1 Android Development] GunToYoMouth123:
So I re-flashed everything (via fastboot ofcourse)

And I tried out the XMN 2.1 Droideris rom since supposibly it was "superfast and stable" or w.e. ...and it wasn't what I expected.

I follow every single step ,in the instructions of the rom.

The rom was no different than the other before the kernel and radio.

Even used Firerats Custom MTD partition...as the instructions say.

All was cool,but the rom.

So I decided to not deal with it,and flash the froyo ota from the mytouch "test 2" and it flashed...than the market fix and but than it kept givin' an error...I try bootin' it without the market fix..and it boot looped.

Tried all froyos and it kept boot loopin'.

Than,I tried SuperD and it flashed peacefully.

The rom is runnin' super fast and crazy smooth.

I like it....but didn't expect to used this rom ..since I came from donut... -_- fail went back all over the monopaly board.

I just don't get what didn't let me flash the "market fix" and other Froyo roms.

Idk?

Thanks,I'll try testin' other roms.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Both radios in flash-able [with some saftynets] form are in the op now.. since 1.33.0013d is hard to flash from update.zips may be safer (I'm always a bit fearful of fastboot flash hboot .. since it will accept any data..)

And you get to see a sample of a menu in an update.zip .. I need to clean up what I'm doing.. its really just a patched "recovery" binary from clockwork recovery [diff included in the zip]. when called as 'yesno' it will just display a menu.. write the results into a "prop" file that then the updater script can read and use if/than/else logic on (yes updater scripts support if/than/else)
[G1 Android Development] fonix232:
What is te difference between radios 2708 and 2825?
[G1 Android Development] shamo42:
Ezterry, is there a chance you will release a kernel specifically for donut roms?

Everything works, except the camera which freezes when trying to take a picture.

Sorry if this question has already been asked.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
If we already have RA Dream 1.7.0 recovery installed, do we need to flash the version in this thread? There's no mention of it being modified in any way, so I don't know if it's necessary or not.
[G1 Android Development] mulletcutter:
Ya, and what about clockwork?
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Its a safty measure since aftter switching the spl you will really want a working recovery.

But it is unmodified, and clockwork also works.. just be very careful with rom manager if you use it
[G1 Android Development] zosX:
Thanks ezterry! I'll be trying this out later....though I must say...eceything is pretty smooth now with my latest setup...I don't know what's going on with the latest batch of nightlies....but 239 seems good if anyone is still having issues....
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
If I want to try out the new radio (RADIO-2.22.28.25.img) on my G1 (if it is compatible), what is the best way to go about doing that?

I already have hboot-1.33.0013d.img and the H_2.22.27.08 radio.

edit: oops found it

== Switching between Radios 2.22.27.08 and 2.22.28.25 ==

To do this you can either restore the engineering SPL as above

Or use an advanced update.zip:

update_2.22.27.08_S.zip mirror

md5: 412959f6887f9f8764bd285ad879e1c0

update_2.22.28.25_S.zip mirror

md5: 2e384ab42da375458fdb135063b7536b

These zips have extended safety features.

1) Notice that you need to remove custom MTD (exists without flashing with warning)

2) prevents you from flashing if you currently have a different series of radio (ie. 1.22 or 3.22 .. it must be 2.22)

3) asks in a yes/no menu if you are sure that you want to install (with an extended warning for "unknown" SPLs that may cause problems. (1.33.0013/1.33.0013d/1.33.2005 are the 'known' SPLs)

It is *still* safer to use fastboot when possible however this is the method used by the OTA its self.. (just try to make sure you have a valid system first .. my checks attempt to avoid the most common potential issues.. but if you are crafty it can still cause a brick.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Read op.. something about switching radios.
[G1 Android Development] brentil:
Using your signed 28.25 radio file on my backup Dream. Getting error's from the file when I run it.

E:Missing bitmap progress_empty (Code -1)

E:Missing bitmap progress_fill (Code -1)
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Its the background of the menu not found.. In the long term I need to clean that code up you have a working proof of concept.

The message will vanish as soon as you choose yes/no
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
What is the difference between the two radios and which is preferable under different circumstances?
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Can confirm the zip in the OP is working for the new radio. Just flashed via recovery on my G1.

Now to test it out and see if there are any improvements. I heard it was something with security?

Make sure you backup your rom b/c after flashing the radio it will wipe your phone.
[G1 Android Development] mulletcutter:
And ur phone booted fine? No boot loops
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Um.. it is not supported to wipe anyrthing besides /cache ..

Biff booted fine for me, cm is working for others, the mt3g-test 2 worked but only after a sane date was set (that rom wont boot in 1901 or 3 whatever my phone got reset to)
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Yep, phone booted fine, I am currently on CM 6.1 RC1 (2708) port by terry.

Welp...it wiped mine, so I figured it would be nice of me to give a warning out.

That's right after flashing the radio and only the radio, no wiping of anything, I booted up the phone to the "Touch the android to start" screen and had to resign in, reinstall my apps.....luckily I had a nandroid.
[G1 Android Development] mulletcutter:
just flashed through clockwork 2.22.28.25 and its working fine, didnt wipe rom. I didnt flash the hboot still rollin with 1.33.0013. CM6-1 mytouch 3g 32b
[G1 Android Development] :
EZ simply you are da man! :D

I have installed the new radio and spl and also your kernel onto my Extreme v1.3 and oh my god what a difference fella, smooth as silk and runs angry birds like a charm and for that alone I will man love you forever ;)
[G1 Android Development] bonesy:
After flashing this my wifi says error??

SAPPHIRE 32B

1.33.0013d
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
While the details given are good to know.. they don't really help me point you in a direction.

What rom? what/how did you flash? do you have a logcat? dmsg output?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
Fantastic, I didn't realise you could if then else with the updater-script

That is perfect for passing info back to recovery UI
[G1 Android Development] mulletcutter:
Yes it does runs alot smoother, i have AB 1.3.5 still. I have the 710 kernel and just the radio flashed. Dl new angry birds now. Didnt figure out on extatly the hboot installs so i didnt. last time i changed that my phone wouldnt boot.
[G1 Android Development] morpheusgt:
Hi ezterry, the update_2.22.28.25_S.zip file is not available for free rapidshare users. Could you upload it to a free server?

Thanks a lot for all your work. My phone works a lot better with the extra RAM ;-)

Thanks a lot!
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
A tidbit from the edify (the official name of the language used in the updater script) readme:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery/blob/froyo/edify/README

Also no reason you can't modify the language to your tases.. just include the new updater-binary in the zip.
[G1 Android Development] l30r0:
I had the same issue till I realized I needed to fix the MTD partition before flashing the market fix, then revert back to the original MTD afterwards. Decided to use the CM 6.1 2708 ported ROM and its running really smooth after I removed my MTD partition. I definitely recommend it.
[G1 Android Development] Nexusx2:
I just flashed the radio and spl and now it hangs at the tmobile screen. When I try to flash a new rom and then apply your kernel it does a boot loop.

wrong hboot, should be 1.33.0013d
[G1 Android Development] michael-knight:
Sorry to bump my post but I'm still trying to get USB Host to work with this kernel:

I also tried compiling it (I merged the 2708-xtra kernel config file with the USB Host settings from the one provided in the guide I posted in a link to) and discovered that I get a lot of errors about things being defined but not used.

Is this normal, and should I just ignore it - or is there some way I can prevent it from occurring?
[G1 Android Development] Nexusx2:
Is there a Signed zip for 1.33.0013d? I cant find one.

Thanks for your reply.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
gawd no

go to the op and read it like 50 times

then do the orange bit and fastboot the correct radio and hboot

this is assuming you didn't typo and leave off the d
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
so , open up arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c and have a look at what is getting in the way.
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
Compare the two new radios

Can someone who has tried both the 27.08 and the 28.25 radios please tell us what the differences are (if any)? I am inclined to go with the newer one, just on the principle that newer is probably better. But I would like to hear from someone who has tried both, so that I don't have to take the time to flash them both myself. Anyone? Any comments? Preference?

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] Nexusx2:
My Dream isnt detectable by computers for some reason, so I cant fastboot. Is there an alternative?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
use the fastboot link in my sig
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
Any ideas?

I just flashed the "update_2.22.28.25_S.zip" from recovery and when I rebooted the phone was back to the default ROM settings. All programs are gone, default wallpaper and widgets on the screen.

I didn't wipe or change the SPL. Just flashed the radio and rebooted.

**Update - Nevermind..reset all my settings and rebooted, everything went back to normal.

;D
[G1 Android Development] Nexusx2:
I think im just going to give up until some one writes a recovery with Fastboot access. Until then I really cant fix my phone. :(
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
FYI, that makes no sense...
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
the reason it is falling over is you have a partition map of a sapphire.

you could use customMTD to get round that

mtd 91 27

would give you the same layout as 1.33.0013d

customMTD is linked in my sig

But, don't give up on Fastboot.,

its obvious you haven't spent any time reading the link I gave you.

I'm not going to bend over backwards and go into great detail on how you could use customMTD, you probably won't read it.

But I have given you enough info above.

Good luck
[G1 Android Development] jdyates:
So i had to be hard headed and try both Kernels on my 1.2 (the ROM I'm using is optimized for it), and neither worked. Both caused bootloops, and a logcat revealed that they were rebooting while the ROM was first installing the apps "behind" the bootscreen (if that makes any sense, lol).

DOH!
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
I think the magic 32a phones you want the ebi0 kernel for the 1.2 and the ebi1 for the regular (actually I wonder if the old 32a can use the ebi0 kernel with 1.33.0013/1.33.0013d and full use of ram + functionality.. but am not in a position to test)
[G1 Android Development] metalfangs:
Ezterry wins

Can't thank you enough Terry. For all your work and help. :D
[G1 Android Development] d3vilskid:
When I first done this on my wifes phone. terry didnt have a kernel out and it worked perfect. The phone is a 1.2 mt3g, just flash the rom, after the radio update and everything should work, no need to flash terry's kernel, i believe its only required for the 32b phones. better yet DO NOT flash ezterry kernel on a 1.2 mt3g, it does not work and causes bootloops.
[G1 Android Development] lolmensch:
no wipe here. (G1)
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
umm.... :confused:
[G1 Android Development] jdyates:
Wel, it's kinda hard to understand what your saying, because my phone is a hybrid (32A hardware but uses 32B soft/firmware), but I'll try that ebi0 you mentioned.
[G1 Android Development] Nexusx2:
I appreciate the information you are giving me and value it. Its just that my phone isn't recognized by any computer, and thats why I cant use fastboot. Something is wrong with my phone were if I plug it in, vista will not recognize it and I have been up all night reading threads and trying to fix that problem. I think the problem started when I plugged my G1 into a ps3 and transfered files. Since then it hasnt worked the same. Ill do the customMTD and when im at school I'll see if one of the computers there will detect my phone. I guess ill have to put Android SDK on my flash drive.

Again thanks for your help.
[G1 Android Development] mattykinsx:
So I followed the install instructions via fastboot.

Problem is...now it brings up T-mobile g1 and then restarts and brings it up again and then restarts.

How do I fix this??:(
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
What do you see when you run adb logcat?
[G1 Android Development] mattykinsx:
I forgot to flash the kernel, all is well now.

:cool:
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
I used the update.zip to update my radio cause I'm lazy and wanted to see the interactive prompting.

When it finished and I rebooted, it looked like a wipe had been performed. Desktop layout had the 'android tips' widget and all. So I rebooted again, and my phone was back to normal except all my widgets had to be added again. Other than that, all good...
