Can we have more of a discription of what exactly this is???

DreaIMG_1.26.531.2_Official_signed.nbh
find this file, still don't know what it is!

http://odiness.com/misc/android/DreaIMG_1.26.531.2_Official_signed.nbh
Mirror. Have not tested.

it is a origional RC30 and without root, right?

hskoon... can u describe what r u posting here...? we know it's RC30 image but if it's the OTA RC30 ver, then it'll just do more harm here & pointless

Can we have DREAIMG.NBM file for RC19 or RC28 or RC29

With this, at least now we can upgrade to an official version of Cupcake without worrying it patched up any (yet to discovered) security holes in RC30.

HTC can have Google change the private keys of their bootloader with no consequences. HTC/T-Mobile is the only one that uses them, so they'd just have to check which version to use before reflashing. If it's an older phone, use the older version.
Basically, the cupcake build can include new keys which would make this .nbh useless.

Crafty, aren't they. What are we to do?

ok testing this dreaimg.nbh on my non rooted official rc30 so that if it indeed is official RC30 no loss. will post results shortly.

Update Terminate UPDATE FAIL
no soup... tried this on my locked RC30 G1 and the update failed.

WARNING!!
From what I can disect from the file it includes t-mobiles shipped SPL, so if flashed and you have a eng bootloader or a dev phone it might overwrite your fallback bootloader!!!!
To the Poster, if you had access to this version can you see if you can get for us any earlier version before rc30, and or rc8 for uk phones. This would be most excellent and allow us to revert all rc30 rc8 phones.
Thank you for your time and effort!!!

Its just the RC30 nothing special about it.

so, i would highly advise that nobody use this. I had a perfectly usable g1 official rc30 and after trying this NBH and it failing, the phone is now unusable. REPEAT DO NOT USE THIS IMAGE!!!

The image update did not fail on my g1.
But ended up with the the same non rooted rc30 as i had on that phone.

indeed stupid... and double post.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3014684

bunny0007 what steps did you take? did you have to rename the file to dreaimg.nbh and remove all the other stuff? i would like to try to reflash this one to at least get it back to stock rc30

Yep renamed it with capital letters to DREAIMG.NBH on a blank sd, and flash it thrug the bootloader.
But the system and user date took a while.

odd, thats what i did to two of these testers that i had and both got corrupted... oh wait, it wasnt capital letters, not sure if that would make a difference or not, but it seemed to have found it and started working... let me try with caps....

revert to stock g1 from modded

i have a g1 that i installed Jesusfreaks 1.31 to and also flashed hardspl to it.. im having serious battery issues so i am going to return my phone for another one.. im trying to find a how-to on reversing everything i have done along with the stock rc30 image... can someone please point me at a tutorial or in the right direction...
i have googled it for the past 30 mins and have found nothing..
thanks

Download the G1Orig SPL here, flash that. Then download one of the revert update packages here and flash that. Remember to Alt+W to wipe the user and cache partitions too.
Edit: By the way are you having recurring serious battery charge loss or was it just one event?

You could flash the original bootloader (image is in the SPL thread) and then load the stock t-mobile rc29 onto your phone. Then take your phone to T-Mobile for warranty.
This way it just seems as though your phone never got the OTA rc30 update
I brought my phone in to ask a question about a clicking noise my phone had (the arm that the display moves on feels loose) when open. The guy behind the counter asked to see my phone and I was not thinking...he took it and noticed the clicking but said it was normal; he showed me his phone and a few display phones that did the same. Then he fired up "About phone" and suddenly became quite...he turned quite confused and told me that this was not a Dev phone. I played dumb and told him "I don't know, this is how it came from the store when I got it last month..." He then rebooted my phone to see both custom spash screens and the engineering boot loader...I wish I had a camera for the look on his face.
Oddly enough, both he and his manager were reluctant to give me my phone back.
So yeah, I recommend putting a stock rc29 on your phone before taking it in

i downloaded the origSPL and when i go to flash it with alt s it says verifying update package
no signature
verification faield
installation aborted
its renamed to update.zip and im assuming because i have done this before that i am doing it correctly .. any advice?

Did you already revert back to official Android? The SPL updaters are signed with test keys, so if you have already reverted to official Android then anything signed with test keys will fail to flash.

this is my build and kernel version..
would this be the updated rc30? i thought that i updated it correctly and i assume that i could not have flashed hard spl if i hadnt

When you enter recovery mode do you see JF's custom background or is it the standard recovery?

its JF's recovery screen.. im thinking to flash the test key recovery.img and then downgrade.. flash the new orig spl then the orig rc30.. witll that work?

If you're seeing JF's recovery screen then you already are running on test keys; there is no need to flash a different recovery.img

i have reformatted the sd card a bunch of times... only thing i can thnk of is that when i download the files from here to my mac it comes as a folder and then i zip them and rename them.. can this be the problem?

Comes as a folder? Sorry, I have no idea how macs work (or don't). You should not need to be zipping anything. If it worked before in the past i'm sure you got it working somehow. The MD5 of the file as it appears on the sdcard should be the identical to what I posted in the SPL sticky.

just use the RC29 NBH file and flash it from SD card. this will make it like it was out of the box.

but the spl will be the hardspl not the orig spl correct?

NBH file doesn't overwrite the SPL though, does it?

Just flash the Dream file here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=463779
It will go back to RC29 and back to that tri-color boot screen, then get the OTA RC30 here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=451090

ok.. i figured it out.. here was the problem.. on my mac when using safari in the preferences it has an option to auto open trusted files ..ex. pdf zips etc..
so it was unzipping the zips into folders.. then when i was re-zipping them it was messing it up.. i now have it working..
hope this helps others with this problem
and thanks to you guys for trying to help me trouble shoot it

There's your problem

that brings up the question...
to make thing simple for people.
Does anyone have the orignal G1 recovery.img image so for those who want to revert back to orignal firmware with ORIGNAL keys it would be nice.
for some people its better for them to know that thye are reversing their steps them.
what I know from all the threads above is just loading loading firmwares with test keys....
now how about the original recovery.img. Provding a reverse would be nice.
=)

Getting the original recovery.img is easy. Just download the original RC30/RC8 file from any mirror and open it up with your favorite archiving program. However in order to revert the SPL you would still need to be using test keys.

recovery I can do
the reverting of SPL..hell I dont know how to do that....

How to go from RC33 from RC29 manually without root?

How to downgrade from Rc33
Ok...I updated to RC33. Didn't know before I updated that I wouldn't be able to go from RC33 to root. So now I need to downgrade.
Can anyone help me downgrade from RC33 to RC29? Or maybe even RC33 to RC30? I searched and couldn't find anything on this but did see someone post that JF walked someone thru it recently....how ever I can not find it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I been in that thread....it's instructions to downgrade from RC30....not RC33.
And I have been going backwards in that thread from the latest posts for about 10 pages now and see nothing about downgrading from RC33.

Doesn't matter what rom you have installed as of now.
You need to follow the instructions and then pick which rom betters you.
Or even try going straight to 30 by renaming it, update, and install it in recovery mode.

Ok....I missed one small word....RC30 and above...
Thanks...in the process of trying to gain root now...

To make it clear for me, is the old downgrading process with a new german RC33 G1 still possible or will it fail because of an new SPL?

i don't really understand your problem. you want to downgrade because you don't have root anymore?
if so, it's a bit strange because i have root access on RC33 Oo

Think he means he upgraded to OTA RC33. Anyway like the previous posters have already indicated, the NBH file downgrades OTA RC33 as well.

ah i see, my mistake.

Hey guys I have two quick questions:
1. I have an OTA rc33 (stock) update on my phone I just received today, in order to root my g1, I will need to downgrade to the stock rc29. It's imposible just to get my phone rooted straight from rc33?
2. If the first question is true. After I downgrade and rooted the rc29, can I just download the latest jfv1.41 rc33 (developer version) ? Or I would need to update the rooted rc30 first in order to get the jfv1.41 rc33.
Your kindly help and suggestion are greatly appreciated.

Correct you need to downgrade to RC29 first for root.
2. If the first question is true. After I downgrade and rooted the rc29, can I just download the latest jfv1.41 rc33 (developer version) ? Or I would need to update the rooted rc30 first in order to get the jfv1.41 rc33.
For RC29 you can install JF's Modded version of RC33

You're welcome

Just One Question:
Is it still possible to downgrade with an GERMAN G1 with the original Bootloader installed on it, or is the security hole fixed which allows downgrading with the nbh File. Please do someone answer me that question please

I tried root but had problems went back to RC29 stock but now I would like to go to RC33. What do I need to do to manually update?

Links to manually update are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479571

i manually installed rc33 ota update and so i decided root my g1 then i get stuck on the colorful boot screen.
as the instructions on downgrading from rc30 i suspect it would be the same on a g1 with rc33.
im not sure if the formatting was done correct but i did the following:
on my eee linux netbook i typed
umnount /dev/sdd1
mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/sdd1
the zip file contained a file named "DREAIMG.nbh" the instructions quoted the file name as "DREAMIMG.nbh" so i tried it with both names and i get the same thing.

Issues going from UK JF-RC9 to JF-RC33

So im just wondering are there any issues in doing this??
Im assuming that i would have to possibly update my Radio as well but im just wondering is there any downside to doing this?? im already rooted and the G1 is (currently) on a clean install of RC9 with nothing installed
so is there anything stopping me getting an RC33 image and flashing right at this second??

Good to go. Just remember to wipe your /data since you're changing the build region (Alt+W in the recovery tool).

aww sweet !! gives me something to do whilst passing time in the office
Since its JF's RC9 anyway do i need to bother regaining root or shall i just leave it as is with the recovery.img and the update.zip on the SDCard??

You already have root (JF RC9) and your target build (JF RC33) already has root, so you don't need to do anything. Just place the update.zip in the sdcard and get it on.

Followed Quoted and Done!!
Sorry for the newbish-ness,,,, mmmmm RC33,,,,, mmmmmm no change (more themes lmao)

don't forget to change your sig. I'm DLing the RC33 myself now that I know it works. BTW, which didi you go to, 1.42 or 1.43? And do 1.42 themes work with 1.43?

Ok using Astro i've managed to install some of my apps from the SD Card and they are all working quite nicely

Additionally the Wifi Tether App is installed,, but cant check that till i get in from the office

Awesome. I just did this ti mine, and all is working on mine as well. I installed the 1.42 Rc33 aero theme as well. Looking good.

Thats how we Brits roll!! lmao
