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 flashing several ROMs trying to find the right one for me, including trying to cook my own ROM which caused me to flash several times due to testing my progress. At this point I flashed NATF v.1.2 ROM which seemed to work pretty good but all of a sudden my Fuze froze and I did a soft reset and now my phone will not go past the boot screen. I can reach SPL (Tri-Color Screen). I do have Hard-SPL installed since it reads SPL-1.90.OliNex
I have tried to flash the stock AT&T ROM and I get the same problem, it won't move past the boot screen. Does this mean a bad Nand and needs to be exchanged or is there something I can do to save my Fuze?

I have been using the official radio that came which was 1.02.25.32. I just noticed that if I reset the device a couple times it boots up fine. But if you reset again it get's stuck at boot.
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 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.
first and foremost am sorry for posting this here, am giving away my phone so thought i would unroot it and leave it with factory firware. i flashed the dreaimg just fine but when i do the update.zip and the phone reboots twice, it stays on the g1 screen. i tried differed dreaimg and updates like - signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip and the one found in theunlokr, but it still stays on the g1 screen. If i dont flash the update i can boot into the rc29 firware just fine, thanks in advance.
I was using r radio 2_22_23_02, spl 1.33.2005, superE 1.0.3
after DREAIMG.nbh radio: 1.22.12.19, spl: 0.95.0000
after update.zip radio: 2.22.19.26I spl: 0.95.0000
still trying to figure this out...
RC29 - RC33 - ok
RC33 - CupCake - Freeze @ G1 screen....
any help is apreciated.
I left my phone alone for a few hours with RC33 to get the 1.5 update OTA, got it but phone froze @ g1 screen again... any info on this? anything else i can do? thanks.

Look down in the comments section about losing root. Just browsing through the forums and came across you post...not sure if this is the exact solution you need given your situation but I hope it helps.
well what i was trying to do is to unroot the phone, but after so many tests the phone will always stop at the G1 screen. I managed to get root back from RC29 and get back to superE. But not sure whats wrong with my phone, i noticed that some of the roms i flash will also stop at the G1 screen..... any idea whats the problem?
so far i've only tested 2 froyo roms and 3 donut.

biffmod v6 - working
super D 1.9.3wesgarner - stop at g1 screen
super D 1.11 - working
superfast 1.3.3 - stop at g1 screen
i started noticing some roms will work and some would at g1 screen even before i tried to unroot my phone. I flashed succesfuly all donut roms mentioned before this problem started.
