I have a G1 that I tried to root and mod. Using the the downgrade method to RC29. I've been reading and waiting untill I felt comfortable trying to mod it. When the one click method came out I ordered my 8gb class 6 sd card. By the time it came, the hole was patched. So got rc29 and Cy recovery1.4 did the telnet and got root. When I went to recovery it was Android Recovery not Cy. Even though I had Nandroid b/u 2.2 and it said Zen's recovery build. I did this 3 times with same results. Next I went to drizzy hero full rom. It said to update radio and spl using a link on the page. The link took me to haykuro's radio and hard slp. Installed the radio first (using the update.zip) then the spl. The radio worked, the spl has me stuck on the G1 screen. I've tried everything that I can think of.
Now I slipped my sim into a my touch 2 pro. Is it me or is this what Ive been tring to get all along. This phone is SWEET!! Plus I've been seeing more upgrades and stuff for WM than Android lately. I'm no dev, obvioulsy my G1 is prob. bricked, but it sure seems like you can do almost anything with WM that you can with Android. Except change O/S. My mind is open on any opinions or ideas. (still like to fix G1) (mt2p is still on 6.1, should I upgrade?)

i bricked one HTC Dream (G1) Black PVT 35 with new radio but **** it, i went and bought another g1 and was bold enough to try again and it worked, so that was cool, installed the newest haykuro update and learned i didnt like it as much as i liked jf 1.5, so i downloaded the newest jf 1.5 build and flashed my phone to it and it sits on the g1 screen, so i was like omg, thinking i bricked my new g1, but i didnt i was able to get back in the bootloader, so i whiped again and tried my famous jf 1.5 and it sat on the g1 screen again, so i said wtf, so i went back to the haykuro build, i decided to choice the g build since its the one i like, and it worked fine and went passed the g1 screen, so with the new sql, im i only limited to HTC Magic builds ??
1st G1 really bricked? maybe you can access adb even if you're in G1 screen?
Cant explain why, but i've personally run HK 6.0 (current) and dudecake 1.1 (plan on returning for 1.2 release) and roomate is on JF 1.5, all with new SPL

umm interesting, yea i gave up on the first g1, its dead lol theres not going to be a fix to that, the computer doesnt even reconize it when its sitting on the g1 screen, imma add insurance, wait a month and send the bricked one in as it malfunctioned and just resell the one they send me to cover my lost.
but anyways i guess i will try the jf 1.5 again, maybe if i redownload it , i might get lucky

Hey Guys,
First off this is a re-post, me old thread was closed, I am sorry for reopening but I am still having this issue. DaveShaw and smokestack76 had posted. Dave thank you for your reply but I have been through the noob flash guide and many many many other threads and it does not resolve my issue.
I'm not new to flashing and roms, I have flashed at least 100 times and have done some cooking. Had the random stuck in bootloader that wouldn't resolve itself today (using 3.29) Loaded kaisdiagsd.nbh and flashed stock att rom. (probably should have gone right for the spl patch but I was frustrated and needed my phone) Boot loader is now v3.65
Flashed fine, reboot, same issue. Phone will now only load the stock 6.1 att rom from the micro sd. kaisdiagsd.nbh is stuck on loading as for all other roms. I can occassionally get the os to load using mtty. From there tried jumpspl and it would not connect via usb at all.
I have tried flashing spl from the sd and yes spl image was KAISIMG.nbh and KAISDIAG.nbh was on there as well. Card is formatted fat32. HardSPL would start, read the file and get stuck on loading.
When in the stock 6.1 os I get the old unrecognized usb device in both xp and vista.
Is there anything else I can do to reflash spl? All i can think of is trying the task 2a, wiping everything and trying to flash from diag but I don't even want to try that route without something solid in place.
The phone is 2 years old, upgrading when the touch pro 2 hits att in aug sept or whenever it is released, but I need my phone.
I have gone through many many many posts. I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated.
I have the stock 6.1 att rom up right now but I would like to resolve the issue.

finally finally got the patched version of 3.29 flashed. I will let you guys know how it goes from here. I am on a different computer at work.
Success!
I started from complete scratch and a fresh brain and was able to get everything going.
After I got the os back up i was able to start jumpspl and get it to connect via usb. Then only the force usb on 3.29 patch would work. After that repaired active sync and I was ready to go. Thanks smokestack79 for the late night help last night. I was out of it and frustrated. Seems like she's got a little more life in her after all.
so i have a mytouch 3g with the perfected SPL (i believe ... says HBOOT-1.33.0006 when I check the version with back+power) and I've been using AmonRa's 1.6.2 rom for quite some time now.
I have been looking to upgrade to the Eclair roms floating around the forums which states that it requires a newer SPL so I downloaded the Engineering SPL 1.33.2010 along with the new rom
My question is (after some research) can i just boot into recovery mode and flash the new SPL that way? or is the only way the goldcard way?
You can just flash from the recovery images, but make sure the spl is completed and then he upgrade let me know how it goes
thanks, i'll give it a go and hope it doesn't brick
OK so i got the ENG SPL to install with no problems, but I can't get the rom to install
i'm trying to use Eugene's v2.3 rom found here http://alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=130&t=515
it flashes, says install complete, but upon reboot, it loads the mytouch splash page, then about a minute or 2 later, it loads this strange screen with colors that form an X in the middle of the screen and keeps doing that ... i've never seen that before so I flashed back to the 1.6.2 ion rom i used prior
anyone have any ideas?
thats the boot screen...the first time i got it I had to wait 45min for it to finish loading the rom....restarts (after first boot) are quicker....just be patient...I suggest flashing + rebooting then going to sleep...wake up in the morn...if its still going then u have a prob.
This is the screen ur getting right?

yeah, tahts the screen...scared the crap out of me...doesn't make any sense to use an "X" as the boot screen as "X"s are a negative symbol ... i did wait it out, however, took about 5 minutes, but it worked!
I am now running on the 1.33.2010 ENG SPL with eugene's 2.1 rom and it is quite flawless (minus the fact that there's no camera). Hope the camera fix comes out soon!
I have been trying to get 3VO back on my Dash 3G and I can't seem to do it.
I first loaded the original 1.17 SPL successfully but after that the T-Mobile 6.5 would get stuck on the "Stick Together" splash screen. (This might come obvious to some of you guys that are more experienced). So, since I was back to 1.17 I tried going into bootloader and then running the HardSPL 1.17 (Through the RomUpdateUtility.exe, not the Auto 1.17.bat) but it never advanced past 0%. So I tried loading 3VO with the non-HardSPL 1.17 and it still didn't advance past 0%.
So I gave up, and loaded T-Mobile 6.5 like I originally did, which this is how it goes, I don't know if this is relevant but:
1. Make sure I have a non-HardSPL.
2. Go into bootloader mode, then start the flash.
3. After the flash fails at 16%, make sure the flash actually updated the SPL to 1.26
4. Start flash again, it doesn't freeze at 16% again, and it finishes successfully.
So, any steps I should take to get 3VO back on my Dash 3G?
T-Mobile 6.5 Upgrade
Has anyone else had a problem trying to upgrade to the official T-Mobile 6.5? I cannot seem to get past 27%. I actually have not had a problem going back to 3VO but I would like to see if the T-mobile version will have the same features. The 3VO has the My Faves but it is buggy. Ideas? How can I get this silly thing to load?
I have hard reset, soft reset, gone through the 'recovery' but cannot get past 27%. I can downgrade to 6.1 with ease, I can install 3VO with no problem, just cannot do the official version (tried on my Windows 7 computer, my alternate XP Pro computer - same result.)
Update: T-Mobile's tech support is sending a new Dash to me. I really don't think this is the solution needed but, well, guess it isn't too bad to get a new phone. By the way, when I downgrade to 6.1 the spl downgrades to 1.17 from 1.19. If I read the info correctly, that doesn't seem to be the problem.
recovery
you have to use the original spl which will put it back to like 1.17 or 1.25 cant remember then flash to the original stock rom
ok i im new at this i did the root... then installed cupcake 1.5
and everything was perfect... then a friend told me that super donut was the
best and fastest rom... so i downloaded it... since i installed it... my G1 just
crashes... with every rom i put in it crashes... i tried... cupcake 1.5, super donut with nexus 1.6, akirah 3.0 1.6...
and just crashes and crashes... it does self reboot and it crashes again...
im really pissed off its my new and only phone an i cant use it...
please please someone help me!!!!!!!!
Fixing that G1
There're some things you need to do. First I would recommend you should partition your sdcard, if you have RA-amon's recovery that should'nt be a problem. Alot of the roms out require updated radio and the danger SPL. If you came from cupcake then your radio and SPL are old. Maybe that's your problem you may not have the correct radio or SPL. Before you flash rom's always follow the instructions to the letter. Also alot of roms have automatic apps to sdcard, you need your sdcard partitioned for that. So first I would partition my sdcard, then update my radio and spl, then flash rom, and if you don't have RA-amon's recovery then get it.
