Here's a new radio for all you radio junkies. I extracted it from the Nike rom posted at the bottom.
Rapidshare Download - Nike Radio 1.65.28.25
Credit goes to AnKom for positing the original rom here:

***MY OFFICIAL VERDICT ON THE RADIO***
I really like 1.65.28.25, i'm getting great battery life, and strong GPS reception on it. It is NOT a radio from hell. There is only an issue if you're NOT security unlocked, so i recommend you take Daveshaw's advice and splash your phone with holy water (security unlock it), because it's a good idea.
If you're NOT security unlocked, then you might have to flash a different radio (such as 1.65.24.36) before you can upgrade to certain radios (such as emo 1.71.09.01). You absolutely will not be stuck with 1.65.28.25 if you flash it, you will just have to follow what i posted above. Yet again, i will say, this is only if you're not security unlocked. If you plan on flashing radios and roms, i recommend you get security unlocked regardless of what radio you are flashing.
I don't know exactly what is causing the issue; however, i have it on good authority that the radio can be fixed, and should that happen i will post a fixed one instead. Because the radio is NOT a radio from hell, I have decided to go ahead and leave it posted. If anyone disagrees with me on this point, you can feel free to PM me and let me know, and i will consider your reasoning, and of course if you're a mod, then i'll just do it cause you asked Hope this clears everything up.
SECURITY UNLOCK YOUR DEVICE - ALL USERS SHOULD DO THIS ANYWAY

do not flash this radio!! ... now i can not flash another radio-rom..
i flashed this radio and after that, i wanted to go back to my 1.59 polaris radio, i had before... now i am stuck in bootloader with "upgade rom code error"
after flashing the hole new rom, my device was working, but i am still at 1.65.28.25 radio and i can not move to any other version.
/EDIT
I don't know what the problem was, but now i have succsessfully flashed a 1.65 original Kaiser Radio-rom... Does anyone has similar problems?

No problems here for me, I switched back to 1.65.24.36
Is the radio good?
I have been using this radio for most of a day and so far i've been getting pretty solid performance. Will need a couple more days testing to see how it holds up to my personal favorite 1.59.42.15, but so far it's been pretty solid.
Commentary
It is always a good idea to have your device security unlocked so that you do not even have to worry about another radio from hell incident.

I tried the 1.71emo Radio before too. It did work, but I found that it had worse reception than previous radio stacks that I've used. I currently use 1.65.21.18, and it's fine. The reason that I chose that is because I'm on AT&T, and that's the latest radio stack that's been released on an AT&T device.
My device is a KAIS130 (ie. not an AT&T model).
Thanks a lot Bro...
My Results
I have tried to recreate the issues that the users in the posts above were having with this radio. I have had not issues. I flashed this radio, then the 1.59.42.15, then back, and then the emo radio. No issues at all. Not sure what the issues was, but as far as i can tell it wasn't the radio.
So far there have been 146 downloads of the radio, and 2 or 3 people who had issues. Perhaps it was a faulty download or even related to something else. Perhaps those who had the issue can help me look into the cause of these issues, because i can't replicate them on my device.

I'm really not sure about it being a security unlocked issue, but i'll check it out tonight after i security lock my backup device again. I don't believe that it's a radio from hell; however, you are right, it is always a good idea for all users to security unlock their device. There's really no disadvantage to it, and a lot of advantages.

Downgrade from Haykuro New SPL to Stock without Bricking.
I have:
Haykuros New Spl
Cm Recovery 1.2
CM 3.4 Rom
latest Radio .26I
Has Anybody Downgraded to Let say rc33 Stock or RC 29 ?
wht steps did you follow?
The Guide listed here seems to have been made before the Bricking Issue arised.
Help will be greatly appreciated.
flashed old RC29 image
I followed the original multi-touch root guide used from months ago. It didn't brick my phone.
I guess I used this:
http://gizmodo.com/5146797/how-to-hack-android-for-multitouch-web-browsing-on-the-t+mobile-g1
or this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
I went back to hard spl did a wipe and had no problems, I didnt want to risk forgettting and applying a radio upgrade and bricking my phone
R
This is what has worked for me. The latest Haykuro SPL (camera+power) will auto recognize if RC29 is on the sd card and offer to flash it (i.e. DREAIMG.nbh). This will revert absolutely everything, radio, boot, spl, system and recovery. I have used it many times when trying custom roms that end up not working for one reason or another. As a result it never leaves my sd card. You will have to root the phone again.
For UK use: RC7

Hi,

We have 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I now
This new is:
62.52S.20.18U_3.22.20.17.
Anyone able to get it out so we can flash it on cyan latest mod rom?
Dont know exact radio version but go here for rom:

the whole dump is an nbh file that has to be flashed from the sd. Anybody know how to crack it open?
I bet it contains other fixes as well! The message on Twitter said that they fixed some bugs!

I remember back when I had my Wizard, there was a tool to pick apart nbh images and reassemble them. But this was for Windows Mobile, a completely different platform. Perhaps the basic file formats are similar?
Use qmat. It can unpack nbhs.
Mmmm, new radio.......yummy.....I like new stuff.....wait if it is a new radio, will this be able to work for us, how to we know that this won't jeprodize us with the danger spl. I know I ain't gonna be the first to try this

my thoughts exactly...took enough balls to go for the danger SPL in the first place.
my current radio works fine, so I am not going to mess.
then again...never say never. thats what XDA is all about
Well we know the radio calls the spl and that the old radio was not able to call the hayruko spl which cause way too many paperweights so how will we know if this radio will also call it, we can assume that since it is an update would but the word assume means to make an ass out of you and me, so is there any way that this can be checked or tested numerous times before we possibly get another wave of bricks and without a cupcake over the air excuse to fall back on. Just my thoughts.
Never change a running system my father tells. Me all the time.. ;-)
Yeah but I like new stuff, I got so used to it feeling like christmas around with new stuff all the time that I got spoiled. I have had this radio and spl for 3 months now and I am bored off it. I demand something new that could cause some new widespread havoc, can't we get something that causes a self destruct if installed incorrectly, kinda jealous of those iphone 3gs users and their exploding batteries, I want something that explodes and catches fire. I demand a refund what am I paying you dev for, wait I don't pay you, nevermind forget this whole post
P.s. I am just playing
rogers is DREA210
we have mostly DREA100/110
i dont think we r able to flash it...
Hardware is identical.
So it should work OK.
Just give me radio Rom only and i will flash it asap.
drea110 here.
You can go back to default by flashing DREAIMG.nbh and then re-flash with this Rom and all will be OK.BUT YOU WILL LOOSE ROOT!
And that is why i didn't flash it yet
Am waiting for someone to give a proper radio Rom to flash.
There will always be a question about whether any new radio image (IPL) that ships will be compatible with a hacked SPL or other SPL not intended for the specific device. This new IPL could very well brick every device it is installed on when mixed with the deathSPL. I very strongly suggest that nobody tries this IPL unless they switch back to their STOCK SPL. Now that HTC has so kindly provided the kernel source needed to build custom kernels that will boot on a stock dream as provided to rogers, there is absolutely NO NEED to continue using the deathSPL phone killer.
Hey, does this nbh file carry the SPL? (it must, doesn't it?)
If it does, then you could maybe just install this and reroot.
Yes it contains spl and radio rom and os rom on it so it will put back everything on stock.
But you will loose root and as of now there is no way to root on 1.5 version.. yet.
if there is i would flash it.
Re-root leave radio and check spl version.
if newer than deathspl would leave it and flash cyanogen 4.0.4.
If not reflash haykuro new hacked spl back and then wipe and flash cyanogen 4.0.4.
And am back in bussiness with new radio and/or spl.
But rooting on 1.5 cupcake needed to do that so...

Really REALLY WRONG!
As I rank your knowledge about SPLs,Radios and android itself with this post, you shouldn't flash this, except if you wouldn't cry and open up a thread "My G1 is dead" ;-)

And you base that on what?
1.5 is rootable - look for "goldcard"
Second: This update has a different SPL - It's not an Engineering SPL.
It replaces your recovery.
And I think these Recovery and ROM wouldn't boot on a regular T-Mobile G1, because it has a different radio chip.
It's very risky to flash this, because it's from a different phone.
It's NOT the same hardware!

I hope this is not a very stupid question, but why would you need a goldcard. Can't you just revert to RC29 and root you device the old and easy way?

Of course i didn't expect it to be engineering spl, this rom are made of normal ppl to use not experiment so normal spl would be on it but maybe the same as g1 or newer.
rogers only modification was on UMTS 850 / 1900 bands the normal g1 only supports UMTS 1700 / 2100 but rogers g1 users did flash radio rom from g1 vanilla see hardspl or even haykuro's hacked spl and they work fine so why not the contrary?
After all they keep the same base versions:
We have 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
They have 62.52S.20.18U_3.22.20.17.
If they had: 3.0008 i wouldn't bother smells from miles is not same radio hardware
But as you can see the code is identical to each other, only newer!
The hardware IS the same my friend only they dont have dvt only pvt motherboards and they all be flashed with latest haykuro's spl and radio!
If am wrong the os will load but i wont have cell reception but that is as far as it goes for a brick.
Am 99% this rom will do just fine on any pvt g1 phone out there.
As for goldcard, didnt know there is a way to root on 1.5 please enlighten me.
Is there anything to download to make this happen? ->link
if it is am more than 101% that this rom will go on my phone sweet.
After that i dont know what happens will i be able to flash haykuro spl back or i will have a brick? will it let me flash custom rom?
Over and out.
***MOD EDIT***
PLEASE READ THIS THREAD FOR UP TO DATE INFORMATION : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655097
***O.P. EDIT***
The link above does contain some more detailed information but the guide below has yet to cause a brick.
IF YOU PLAN TO FLASH THIS SPL PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE POST
This is for the Dream/G1 ONLY. If you have a Sapphire/MT3G this SPL is not needed.
If you have no idea what a SPL is or you are looking for info on other SPLs please read this page http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/SPL
Let me start off by saying that I have nothing to do with the actual development of the SPL. I also take no responsibility if you do decide to flash this SPL and brick your phone. That being said I decided to create a "How To" for the SPL for the simple fact that I would have switched to it long ago if I knew how easy and safe it was.
The SPL that you need for many of the new Eclair ROMs along with Hero ROMs and some Donut ROMs like Super D is a special SPL created by Haykuro that basically gives you more space to flash larger ROMs. When Haykuro first released the SPL there were reports of people bricking their phones. It turned out that the reason for the SPL causing a brick was because the SPL needed to be flashed over the latest radio and requires a PVT board. If the SPL is flashed over a radio version prior to "2.22.19.26I" or on a DVT board it will cause a brick. After people heard about this SPL causing bricks it became known as the Danger or Death SPL because of the danger that it can cause death to a G1.
A lot of people including my self were very worried about flashing the SPL in fear of a bricked phone. The result being many people not wanting to flash certain ROMs because they do not want to brick their phone. Some devs have actually changed their ROMs just to make them small enough to flash with out the Danger SPL so that more people will use their ROM.
Well if you are reading this and you don't have the Danger SPL because of the fear of a brick well then don't worry its ok to be scared but this "How To" will get you through it safe and sound.
IMPORTANT: Before going any further make sure that you have PVT board. You can do this by rebooting your phone and holding the camera button. The first line should say "PVT" if you see "DVT" then DO NOT flash this because odds are you will get a brick but If it says "PVT" then you are good to go.
First you are going to need to download the latest radio and the SPL. both can be found here http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/ There is also a new radio that is compatible that can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640535
Prior to starting the installation process please make sure that your battery has a good charge. Also DO NOT pull your battery out at anytime during the installation process. I know it seems like common sense but I read a thread where someone had pulled their battery in the middle of the installation process and they ended up with a brick.
Now that all that's out of the way lets get started!
1. Copy "ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip" or "G1-radio-2_22_23_02.zip" and "spl-signed.zip" onto the root of your SD card.
2. Reboot into recovery. I suggest using the RA-dream recovery you can download it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669
3. Wipe your phone "factory data reset" (this step isnt really necessary since your phone is wiped after flashing the SPL but I always like to wipe before flashing anything)
DO NOT SKIP THIS NEXT STEP OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE
You must have the latest radio "2_22_19_26I" or "2_22_23_02" to flash this SPL if you already have the latest radio you should not have to flash it again but it will not hurt if you do flash it again. When in doubt flash it anyway.
4. Flash the Radio "ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip" or "G1-radio-2_22_23_02.zip" it will install and then it will ask you to reboot to finish the installation, so reboot, it will then finish installing and then reboot back into recovery.
5. Flash the SPL "spl-signed.zip" it will install and then ask you to reboot to finish the installation, so reboot, it will then finish installing and reboot into recovery so you can flash your ROM
A simple way to make sure that the SPL flashed correctly is when you reboot to the boot loader screen by holding the camera button you will see HBOOT-1.33.2005. You can also see that it flashed correctly by checking your system size it will now be 89mb a very easy was to check this is with the My Account app available in the Market.
Great idea to post this again, since so many people are asking about it.
I flashed mine way back when Haykuro first posted it, and I seem to remember that you had to have a PVT board as well. Is this still the case? I can't remember whether or not anyone found out otherwise.

PVT = a must have.
Also forgot to mention that when you reboot after flashing the SPL, you have to reboot with Home+Back

Yeah thats a big reason I decided to post this, so many ROMs now say they require Death/Danger SPL and only a couple actually provide a link or some type of simple instructions. I figure with a dedicated "How To" we can eliminate questions about the SPL in ROM threads and make people feel a little more comfortable with flashing it. I dont believe anyone actually tested it without a PVT board. I havent even seen anyone one here that doesnt have PVT board. Just in case though I will edit the OP, thanks for remembering that because I completely forgot that it has only been tested on a PVT board as far as I know.
also you should include how to know which spl you have. i was about to flash the danger spl again because i forgot i already had it

If I remember right, some people flashed the radio first, and still bricked, and the difference was that they didn't have a PVT board.
Maybe you should also put in big red letters at the beginning about flashing the radio first. You can tell by reading all the questions on here that at least half of the people don't read the instructions, they just flash away in any order they feel like flashing!

Very true red letter warning has been added.
Please if anyone has suggestions for this "How To". Dont hesitate to post. I made this to help people out so if you have an idea that will help let me know.
When I first got a G1 as a test phone I tried to flash the radio/spl and it failed repeatedly. I'll try it again as I have had the phone for awhile and I want to try some of the newer ROMs
EDIT: Still getting fails on the radio flash.
it says:
Install from sdcard
Finding update package
Opening update package
E: Can't open /sdcard/ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip (bad)
Installation aborted
could it be my sd card?
It looks good now!
I remembered right:
Ok if u press the camera button + power to power the phone up and if u see "PVT" then ur good to go if u see "DVT-1 or 2" then u should defenetly not flash cuz almost every1 with dvt gets "bricked".

it is called Haykuro SP: .2005 you guys have to get your facts straight.Haykuro is the person that ported the Magic's SPL to the Dream to allow larger roms to be installed.
Both the Radio & SPL are here:

So does SPL flashing only apply to G1's? I have a mt3g. I can safely flash any rom w/o flashing an SPL first?

Thank for finding that I just edited it again
I'm snowed in tonight, so I'm gonna try this out. I hope everything I need to know is here. If I do a Nandroid+EXT backup before, will I be able to Nandroid Restore after the SPL upgrade?
So I tried to flash the spl yesterday cuz i wanted to try out some new roms, but I kept on getting errors everytime I flashed the spl and it aborted. So after a while i just gave up and went back to cyanogen. Does anybody know why there would be errors when installing the spl. and yes I did flash the radio first.

So does SPL flashing only apply to G1's? I have a mt3g. I can safely flash any rom w/o flashing an SPL first?

That is correct. This SPL actually is the one that if for your mt3g but edited for the G1 so that it can flash larger ROMs.

Its called Sapphire to dream port for a reason.You can use the .2004 or .2010 SPL or whatever its called instead.
If I already have the correct radio, do I have to re-flash the radio again before flashing the SPL?
The reason I am asking is that I have 2 G1's.. the first I unknowingly did everything right and have the danger SPL without any problems. When I went to root the second one a couple of months later, I bricked it even though I thought I did everything right. Now my "new" phone has the correct radio, but only the engineer's SPL and I want to try some of the newer ROMs but am afraid to brick the phone again.
Thanks
I have a HTC Magic from Rogers Wireless and I'm trying to flash a new Radio onto it. Fastboot will send the new radio over to the phone but when it attempts to write it the screen on the phone will go blank with some funky lines running down it. Even leaving it for 20min, the radio still not written. Phone is OK after pulling the battery but sill on existing Radio
Here are the specs on my phone
Sapphire PVT 32A
SPL 1.76.2007
Radio 3.22.20.17
Recovery RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H
Rom CM 5.0.7 Test 3 with EBI1 Port
I'm trying to flash Radio 3.22.26.17 from the Rogers HTC Dream E911 update onto the phone so that Rogers will not cut off the data when the old radio is detected.
Thanks!!
Actually, how did you managed to install that SPL with that radio...
The SPL you are using is made for Radios 6.* not 3.*...
I ran the Rogers RUU from last summer then used flashrec to inslall cm recovery.
I used cm recovery to flash the 1-76-2007 SPL then I flashed RA recovery (recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H.img). Did a nandroid backup and then wiped & flashed the files necessary for CM.
If this incorrect what SPL should I be using, I can always revert back and start over again.
Thanks!!
You can probably use the steps here to solve your issue.

Blasphemy.
If you wish to link to a guide then link to a proper one - one by CursorDroid, not a copy of it. (now there are credits, but back at the day when it was written the author did not give credit to people he should have.)

You could also try the tool from my sig.

My apologies. I just happened across this, verified it worked and suggested it as a solution. I wasn't trying to cause any problems or dredge up any hard feelings. Just trying to help the OP solve his problem.
It does provide the solution to his issue, does it not? I agree, the people who dedicated their hard work should have been thanked properly, but at the time I linked there, the credits were up.
Sorry to offend.
Edit: I linked to this one as the OP indicated he wanted the original Rogers radio/spl.
ive done this because i made a mistake before
flash the 2010 spl and the sapphire recovery and all will be well
