Hi everyone,
Been trying to root my phone since yesterday and had a bit of trouble. Now it seems that the SPL I have is a perfected one as I am unable to use fastboot for recovery.img (not allow error).
This is what I have:
Sapphire PVT 32A Ship S-ON H
1.76.0010 (SAPP50000)
CPLD 12
Radio 6.35.10.18
Is there a way to change this SPL at this time? I know there are ways for older ones but I wasn't sure that I should be changing to an older SPL (and risk bricking my phone) so I thought I'd ask first!
Any advice/input greatly appreciated.

Yeah that's a perfected SPL. I assume Recovery Flasher doesnt work? If you can't use Recovery Flasher then you are out of luck until someone can break into those phones.
Keep in mind the hero recovery is the only one that works with the 6.x Radio.
Arrrgh!!! I'm tempted to go to the Rogers store and exchange my Magic for another one (without the upgrade on it). I still have 8 days to do so according to Rogers policy...
chances are you'd get another with perfected spl.
This is how i got mine working from perfected spl->custom rom
If you want a different rom, dont follow the last 2 links, and find whatever you want to flash, after the first 2 links you will have a non-perfected spl and be able to flash whatever your heart desires.
There are easier ways to do this if you are not running windows 7. Apparently theres a way using htc sync, but i cant get it working, even with all of the fixes that people have claimed work for them

u can have a sense ui running on 1.5, if you are only concerned with how it looks. Just flash the cursorsence rom, if u have 32a phone. ensure u dont have a perfect spl. If you did the rogers dream->magic switch, likely you have a 32a phone with 1.33.0010 perfect spl. you must get rid of this first.
here's some links to help you out as i did this process yesterday. took me a helluva long time.

For the video in that link, watch up until the point where he tests the goldcard by putting it back into his computer to see if it opens. You don't need to follow his instructions past there

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I'm actually using Windows 7 so I'll have to do it that way.
Does it matter that my SPL is 1.76.0010 rather than 1.33.0010?
umm.
Actually im not 100% sure. Kuz i know messing with the radio and spls can be problematic if you flash them incorrectly... I personally would go straight to flashing These instead of going to 1.33.2007
maybe wait for someone more experienced to comment, kuz radio and spl being flashed wrong will result in a brick

Its 1.76.2007 not 1.33.2007. For now u need some practice at stage 1 - keep your original radio & spl. Otherwise like u said yourself, BRICK!
Got the HTC Magic upgrade through Rogers...
Perfected SPL
Since they still use 1.5 (yet they claim they care about security, lol) RecFlash works a charm.
Install RecFlash, slash RA's Recovery, then use it to flash the ROM.
w00t!

me and asiano both did the same thing, just follow this here procedure:

I've tried that method with the new rogers update (SPL 1.76.0010), and it doesn't seem to work for me. The flashrec website even states it doesn't work with firmware released after November '09. Are you sure you had the new update when you rooted using this method?

yes but i think you don't have a perfected spl, we are not able to root because our spl version is 1.76.0010... can you confirm you got the same?
I have an updated Rogers ROM and Goldcard will not work with the current ENG SPL. Outdated
Same with me. Stuck on this ROM. I think whomever says they were able to get root with 1 click method or flashing the Engineering SPL did not have the same setup as those of us who are stuck. I've devoted about 20 hours so far to getting root again. None of the methods are working, and yes I'm following the directions to the letter. This is really starting to piss me off.
Is there anyone working on trying to root this new Rogers update ROM? It seems like most of the people who do this stuff have moved on to the Droid and N1. Do we need to start a fund to entice one of the people who rooted the other ROMs to come back and revisit Rogers 1.5 Sense? I'd throw $10 US into the pot.
Any other ideas?
im in!
10$ US, im in!
I'm in for $10
God I hate Canadian cell providers.
Can the phone still be unlocked to use on a different carrier though??
10$
Totally in. 10 bucks is a small price to pay for a rooted phone.
***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.

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 am no longer endorsing this...plainly for the fact that it took too long to revert back to 32b.
if you would like to restore to 32B follow below link:

Still, it doesn't increase the amount of internal memory you have on 32B. It makes 32A roms work on your 32B, but most of them will run slower than they would on native 32A's.

make sure you have installed all drivers from your phone. make sure debugging is checked in settings and then plug in your phone. Install any drivers if prompted. Then uncheck debugging and plug your phone in again and install any drivers. Thats what I had to do oddly.
No luck
Still wont work. There must be another way to change phone from 32b to 32a cause this aint workin for me

what operating system are you using? and do you have adb installed?
Is there anyway you can give really detailed step by step instrutions for those of us who are new to android? That would be awesome. Thank you!
dude if you can't install htc sync then you prob shouldn't even be trying advanced operations like this no offense. Its not really all that worth it anyway to switch to 32a. You don't have the correct drivers 99% sure. install adb first. then install htc sync. plug in your phone go into control panel--system-device manager and see if it was installed or if there are any question marks.

"This is not unrooting your mt3b for idiots." I'm not gonna make a full detailed guide on how to do this. Its not rocket science, just simply follow the links. Furthermore, im not the originator of this method but several users and devs (Eugene373 was original one who recommended this) have tried this method and been successful. If you can't read and follow simple steps then there's nothing I can do for you. Proceed at your own risk bro. and I fixed the broken links in the first post. don't kill the messenger man im just passing along information from a higher source.

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.)
Here it is :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239
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

Thanks, I'm all fixed up now.
I have an HTC Dream from TIM. I have sent my phone to service center and they have returned it back with this firmware:
DREAM PVT 32B SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.38.0000 (DREA20000)
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.16.19
firmware: 1.1
base band: 62.41S.20.13U_2.22.16.19
kernel: 2.6.25-deb9915c [email protected] #11
build: 1.58.901.3 PLAT-1.0_gms-141395 CL#15959 release-keys
not rooted.
I have loaded Amon Recovery with Fastboot, I have flashed it with ADB. The phone has rebooted in recovery mode, then I wanted to update to Cyanogenmod so I have flashed the Radio: ota-radio-2_22_19_26I
I have rebooted the phone, but it is stuck on the starting logo.
I'm getting frustrated because I tried everything before flashing the radio to try to downgrade it to RC7 but nothing. I tried also the goldcard (I have a samsung SD 1gb), but after reading the DREAIMG.nbh file it was saying that this firmware was older.
help me guys to come back on earth!
you could try flashing the orange-1.58.73.2.nbh found in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
that will give you an Eng SPL, which you can use to flash the radio/spl which the OP details
no idea if it will work, the nbh will either flash or it won't .. so _should_ be safe
but, I just did a quick search and found this

The lesson is search before asking questions
I don't want to do other trials! I want somebody in the same condition which has already done the rooting step by step. I don't want to risk to brick it again!
that's my girlfriend mobile!!!

It's been awhile since I LOL that good
/me loves firerat now more than ever!
LOLOLOL Wow!
LMFAO @ Firerat...
@OP
Ok dude. 1st off, stop crying. 2nd, try to breathe.
I have bricked my phone several times. If it's under warranty, make something up and get another. If it's not under warranty, and you don't know what you are doing, you should probably watch a couple tutorial vids or as Firerat said, get someone else to do it...ahem...sorry, he said "get a real man to do it." ..my bad...
At any rate, if you search, read, and follow instructions, you should be ok. There is this awesome website...I think it rhymes with Google, that can also be of help...
just my $.02

DUDE!!
People have offered advice and you have chosen not to try following it.
Why come and ask for advice if you are not going to listen?
If your not comfortable flashing an nbh then how were you comfortable enough to do the things that got your device into this state?
As for not wanting to do "trials"... unfortunately not everyone is dumb enough to kill their devices, and for the people that are they usually ask for advice and follow what people tell them to try.
We don't have access to a "I think ive bricked my device, so how do I fix it" manual.

So the PM I sent saying come into my irc channel and I will walk you through it also means bugger all?
How about we re-phrase your post: Useless OP.... Just talking without reading pm's or suggestions from other people.
Firerat had it pegged from the start, tell your missus to go find a real man, although with the amount of *****ing you do I'm guessing she wears the pants anyway.

The OP used to have pants... unfortunately one day he ripped them.
He did ask how he should try fixing the tear, but then decided to ignore everyone's advice and has just *****ed about his Gf wearing the only pants since.

I really can't believe your GF let you do that to her phone. And the fact that you jumped on flashing the recovery so soon without learning about what you needed to do before you did it.
Your post doesn't make any sense, you got the phone with S-ON but you loaded fastboot with amon ra recovery? WTH is that supposed to mean? How did you load fastboot, by flashing a spl on the stock reovery. Explain step by step what you did and then maybe you will get a decent response out of someone on this thread that can help you out. After flashing the radio you have to flash the spl right afterwards. If you can get into recovery your phone is not bricked, unless you do something dumb and erase it somehow. Now you already have the radio you need now flash the hboot you need, but make sure you wipe everything before hand in reocvery

basically I tried to follow this : http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Dream:_Rooting
1) downgrade to RC7 , impossible
2) I have created a goldcard, but no way, it refused to flash the DREAIMG.nbh. That means after reading the file at the end it was saying something: Impossible to flash because you have a newer version...
so I tried this way:
adb push recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/recovery.img
* adb shell mount /system
* adb shell mount /sdcard
* adb shell cp /sdcard/recovery.img /system/recovery.img
* adb shell umount /system
* adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
then using the new recovery I have flashed the zip file 2.22.19.26i and the recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2.img
when the phone restarted it got bricked on the logo...
Ah, I forgot, I followed this guide to try the downgrading and for the goldcard:
