Hy guys! This is my first post because I've always found a solution in this great fourm for my previous issues
Now, after searching the whole fourm without finding a solution, I've to open a new thread, hoping you could help me
I've upgraded my Dream from JF ADP1.1 to JF RC33 following this [1]. These are the steps I've followed:
-placed the RC33 image [2] in the sd root, after renaming it to update.zip
-boot up the ADP1.1 into recovery mode
-perform a wipe and reboot into recovery mode again
-perform the update and reboot
-activate the phone with my google account via EDGE
-placed the radio update [3] in the sd root, after removing the old update.zip and renaming it to update.zip
-reboot into recovery mode and perform the update.
Everything seems to went fine. Into recovery mode the phone verifies and extracts the image and then asks to press HOME+BACK to reboot. After pressing HOME+BACK the system flashes the radio image and then reboots showing the image with the arrow and the chip. After this image the phone boots again into recovery mode. At this point I've pressed home+back to reboot again and now the dream boots in standard mode, loading the OS.
Everything works (EDGE, SMS, CALLS, WIFI etc.) but, when checking the settings, the build number is ok (*RC33*) but the baseband has not been updated. In fact the version is still the old one *22_12.29
Same thing if I check the baseband version via the SPL (HardSPL)
Any help much appreciated!
Thank you!

I've also tried to reflash the ADP1.1 and then apply the update.zip containing the radio update but baseband version is still the old.
Please help...
Hi!
I did the same thing with my ADP, but I had previously flashed it with JF RC30 1.41. I updated to RC33 with no problem, and then I applied the radio patch. My phone got stuck in the boot logo and I had to do a wipe and reflash with RC33 to get it working. I applied the radio patch and everything was OK, but the baseband is still in the same old version.
Maybe an specfic ADP issue?
I updated from ADP 1.1 to RC33 and flashed radio, and the baseband confirms the update was successful.
How do you flash the radio? I applied JF RC33 update and he mentioned we have to flash the new basebad separately, I've never done that before
Are you using an actual ADP1 or just a G1 flashed with the ADP firmware. I haven't tried it on my ADP1 as I have no real need for RC33 but I believe if you are on a real ADP1 it won't actually flash the radio with the update from a normal G1 because of the unlocked radio in the ADP1. Just my $.02.
Simone: Can you verify the MD5 of the radio update after you have copied it to your microsd? Should be cf8714d273fb0274574d9e3831e11fdd.
Ok this is my problem after I installed jf rc33 and the radio. Yes I did a wipe from my jf adp1.1 installed jf rc33 then did the radio update but now I get no internet on my g1. I went into. Settings > about and it says that the connection is EDGE with no data connection. The g1 its self almost closes the edge as soon as I receive a mms as there is no E in my status bar. Also I live in a market that doesn't have 3g yet so I have tried the settings use 2g only and without. Any ideas what the problem could be? I assume it is the radio but can I reflash an old radio without doing a wipe? Or if I need to wipe and go back to jf rc30 or adp1m1 do I need to flash back to rc29?
You can flash an old radio without a wipe. Replace the radio.img inside the radio updater with the one from signed-kila-ota-116143-prereq.TC4-RC19+RC28+RC29.zip and resign the entire zip file with SignApk.
ok before i do this what else could the problem be if any? causing no internet?
I was with rc30 JF , and then i moved to rc33 , then flashed the radio. What is the number supposed to be after the update or before? Mine right now is
_1.22.14.11
Is this right after i flashed the radio? or this is the old one? no idea..never paid attention to the baseband version.

i have the same radio baseband version after i did my update... but when mine went into a loop i hit alt x and typed reboot and my g1 booted normally.
another note does anybody have a signed update of the old radio they could post. i have not gotten into signing apks yet and when i did a search for sign.apk i got stercsons thread but i didnt setup the sdk yet my desktop is very limited on space.
Here's the radio from RC30 signed with test keys. (ver 1.22.12.28)

thanks jashsu . Since the version is different than rc30 you just gave, i suppose the radio update was a success. What does that update do? boost 3g or?

I've flashed the radio separately, as described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475381

I'm using a G1 flashed with the ADP image. But I've also tried to flash it back (successfully) to jf RC30 and then perform the radio update but without success.
Can you verify the MD5 of the radio update after you have copied it to your microsd?

I always verify the checksum before flashing everything in the ROM. I trust in the reliable data transfer service offered by TCP but in this cases an md5sum is a gooood thing!

Hello, im trying to upgrade firmware to adp 1.1 and i need a little help. Is fastboot a software i need to download? i did a good amount of searching and nothing is clear for a new user. any help would be appreciated. thanks.
to my understanding, in order to get this working:
unzip the adp1.1 images anywhere
Get the phone into fastboot mode according to andblogs.net/fastboot
type the two command lines
reboot
wipe
am i missing anything?
Yes, step 6 is cross your fingers
you can also just rename it to update.zip and skip fastboot, wipe, flash and then reboot.
so what are the benefits of adp from a modded rc30?
You could get the ADP1.1 build of JFv1.41 and have both, the only advantage I see with the official 1.1 is the maps editor (which currently doesn't work in 1.41)
How? I tried to flash from it to stock RC30 then use the RC33 patch but it won't let me flash to the stock RC30. How can I do it. Sorry if I'm not clear just let me know and I'll edit.
Wipe out all (just in case) then just flash any JF 1.4x RC33. I did it 2 days ago with no problems from JF 1.43 ADP1.1 Holiday Edition to JFv1.42_RC33
Ahh I figured it out. I would have used a JF RC33 but I needed stock to test something. Anyway it didn't like the JF recovery image flashing the stock one so I took the recovery.img file out of the System folder of the update.zip and flashed it with fastboot and it used that update just fine. Thanks!
EDIT: Sorry this post wasnt very clear. I mean after I flashed the stock recovery.img over the JF one with fastboot I just booted into recovery, used the stock update.zip file and it flashed fine.
Hello,
I have updated to JF 1.5 and its working great. But when I boot up to make a nandroid backup, it says "Android system recovery utility Build: JFv1.41"
When I press Alt+B to backup I get an error saying:
Error running nandroid backup. Backup not performed.
Any ideas?
I guess you didn't bother to read JF's notes about not having a modified recovery based on 1.5 yet. Anyway, recovery is versioned independently of the main system software, like the radio.

I did read it, I am totally fried :/
It took me 4 hours to recover my phone earlier and now studying for my 5 final exams this week, so I totally forgot about his post regarding the recovery image
Thanks for the reminder
You should update your recovery though. The latest JF recovery is v1.42. The link in JF's ADP1.5 post links to a v1.43 recovery-only updater, but it is v1.42 (confusingly named 1.43 because it was bundled with the JF1.43 system software updates). It fixes a recovery 1.41 bug where adb didnt run with escalated privileges.
Hi,
So I recently tried to do some modding, and I followed the guide (so I thought) for putting the Google ION firmware on my HTC Magic. The guide said, recovery image, I flashed recovery image.
Apparently I've flash the radio too...and they didn't mean recovery image they meant system image.
Is there a way to resolve this?
I'd really appreciate the help, I'd like to get my hands on the VFUK Radio or complete recovery image.
Could use this too
Orig Voda UK Nandroid backup
I've got my CRA71C nandroid backup I made after I got my Magic on the 3rd May. I found out shortly after buying it that it was a dev build firmware that should never have been released into the wild (already rooted) if that's any use?
Not 100% sure, but at the moment I'm willing to try anything, and I can get onto the recovery and get to Nandroid, so should help. I just need to find the right image to flash.
i thought they have same radio? being both 32B?
They are the same radio, as I've just discovered.
But for some reason it didn't work at all, but I followed some guide about reverting to a 32B Radio. So I wiped the whole thing, boot, recovery, system, etc. Installing the OTA update, and amon_RAs recovery, same problem again, but instead of booting into the system, I rebooted it into fastboot, flashed radio.img from the radio download on the HTC site, and it worked.
Not sure exactly what the problem was, but it's resolved now, thankfully.
I had CM6 on my G1 with HBOOT-1.33.2005.
I downloaded RC7 and accidentally installed it without flashing HBOOT-1.33.2003 and now it says HBOOT-0.95.0000.
Is this OK? If it is, im gonna start flashing it back to 1.6.

so you went back to android 1.1 or 1.5? you dont have any engineering spl anymore as far as i know.
that means you have to start right from the beginning with rooting flashing etc
pls correct me if im wrong
Edit: do you still have a modified recovery or is it the stock one?
Hi, I went back right to the beginning which is DRC7 (version 1.0)
Im not sure about the recovery image question, how would i find out?
boot into recovery. (did you flash another recovery some time earlier?)
so if it is the one you had then you dont have to start from the beginning.
is it one without a menu or with a menu of 3 options you have to look for tutorials and start all over
why dont you just get into fastboot, wipe everything, fastboot flash EZterrys new radio & hboot, and than flash biffmod 2.1 ROM?
i did it this morning, and i must say... t'is nice ;]
