jf1.5 to legitimate

hey there, before you yell at me to search hear me out.
i followed the tutorial to root my phone from the latest legit version of android. i installed jesesfrekes 1.5 version along with the radio(?) from htc. i figured i would bring it back to the stock version so i did some searching and found that most threads didnt say much but go search! well i did find some hints that people were saying to download the original rc29 dreimg.nbh and power on via camera and power button and go from there. the problem is that when i boot into the phone via camera button and power button, all i see are little androids on skateboards and SERIAL0, with no instructions or prompts to continue. can anyone help me out on what to do from here to get the stock firmware back, and everything back to factory?
thanks in advance!

if you don't see the image update screen before serial0, it means the file DREAIMG.nbh is not on your sdcard or the card is not properly formatted. also note that the whole linux system is published under GPL and Android is an open source project, so mods are strickly legitimate.

You plug in usb cable then hit back button from there. Then it should say fastboot instead of serial.

Two things:
Hey there,
If you want to go back to truly stock, you'll first want to replace your SPL with the stock one. Once you go back to unrooted, you won't be able to do this again without getting root back. So it has to be done first. Right now, you've got HardSPL, or Engineering SPL. Once you reflash back to the ugly rainbow original SPL, I have a feeling you've put the DREAIMG.nbh ZIP FILE on your SD card. Unlike other updates you do in recovery mode, YOU HAVE TO UNZIP THIS ZIP FILE first, and put the unzipped contents (the DREAIMG.nbh file ITSELF, around 95 MB or so) on the SD card. If you just download that zip and put it on there, it won't work.
Good luck.

please excuse my ignorance when using the term legitimage, i just did not know what terms to use to accuretly point to what i needed to talk about.
anyways, i think the problem may be that the sd card was not formatted correctly, for the img file is definitly there. i am having a hard time formatting it via pc, since everything i right click on the drive in "my computer" and hit format, the pc says no drive found, and my phone claims "preparing sd card" also, i tried the format option on the phone itself, which apprently did not work.

So you rooted your phone, flashed spl then updated to 1.5?

i am putting the straight nbh file on there, and not the zip, it seems like my problem lies in formatting. and may i ask what you mean by replacing my spl? what is the importance of this, and if it is of upmost importance, how do i go about doing it?
thanks a bunch for the quick responses.

Unfortunately, I have had VERY LITTLE LUCK dealing with my G1 on Vista. Anything other than casually connecting it and transferring files casues the same types of headaches you're experiencing. Trying to scan the disk, trying to format it, fix errors, even eject the disk (safely remove) causes the phone to disconnect and/or Windows to claim not to be able to read it.
I'm not saying Vista and the G1 can't work together well, I'm just saying mine don't. --So I always use my XP machine whenever I try to do anything like that. Other than that, if you're sure you've unzipped your nbh file, sorry I can't be of much help.

after doing a little bit of research i guess i need to change the skateboard version of the spl to the gay pride one for 100percent original correct? how do i do this?
also i updated the radio(whatever that means ) from the HTC website, as per the tutorial. do i have to "downgrade" that as well?

my 2c:
the sdcard has to be formatted as fat32, not fat16. i never had luck with G1 and interfacing with a computer or doing anything like rooting a phone while the sdcard was fat16. works like a charm when its fat32 though.

i managed to get skateboard SPL to recognize my dream image.nbh by formatting the sd card on a windows xp as designdawg mentioned. now im trying to figure out if i need to downgrade the spl and radio, before i flash the dreamimage.nbh on there.

D'OH! It's too late, I think. I told you that on my first post. You must have missed it. In order to change your SPL, you have to be able to flash images signed with the test keys. You can no longer do that because you have RC29 with the stock recovery, which will only flash google-signed keys. The only way to go back to the original SPL is to re-root your phone now.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

oh no! you must have misunderstood, i have not gone back to RC29 yet, i am still on jf1.5 patiently waiting instructions here, haha

Oh. Gooood. Well, all you need to do is download the SPL file for the original, rename it update.zip, put it on your card, home+power to get to recovery mode, then ALT+S to flash your SPL back to original. Then you can use the original SPL (Camera+power) to flash back to RC29. RC29 will reset your radio and everything, so you'll be factory fresh at that point. I would throw an ALT+W in there somewhere to wipe it if I were you, or you can always do it after you've done RC29.
You're ready to go. (I just did all this last night myself).

excuse me if this is a dumb question, but where can i download the original spl? i would search for it but im not exactly sure what to search hah. thanks a lot for helping me out once again. also, would it be okay to alt+w right before i do the update.zip for the original spl?

In case anyone is following and still having trouble with this:
1. Download the Original SPL By downloading G1OrigBootloader_nocheck.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455860
2. Rename to update.zip and flash via normal Home+Power Method
3. Download Original RC29 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480)
4. Unzip .nbh file and place in the root of your newly formatted card.
5. Boot with Camera+Power and follow the steps given onscreen to install
6. Don't enjoy losing root : (
EDIT: In order to get to the current build you have to update in steps so after upgrading to RC29 upgrade to RC30 and then to RC33 via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479571)
PS I had App2SD for a long time so the SPL would look for my image in the EXT3 partition and then quit when it couldnt find it. So I ended up having to format it completely to FAT32 and then it worked.
Hope this helps

Rogers magic update freeze/brick

Hello all,
As many of you know Rogers issued an update for 911 issues and sense ui just recently, unfortunately as I attempted the update via SD card method, the first update seemed to have gone well but after once it wanted to reboot it keeps on splashing the ROGERS over and over.
I'm thinking this is most likely because I am rooted and the process just didn't agree.
I am currently running amon ra's 1.2.3 rec. img
with amon ra's 1.6 rom
32A motherboard
BTW I still get to boot when I hold end+vol down
and when I hold end+home I get amon ra's screen but is quickly taken away after a few seconds.
Any help would be much appreciated.

good news and bad news.
good news, im pretty damn sure thats not a brick as you can still get into fastboot (the vol down + power)((atleast thats what i think fastboot is))
bad news, i dunno how to fix it.
i know theres a way to revert to original stock ROM via fastboot, so im sure it is fixable. don't know about custom ROMs via fastboot.
bed time, though. good luck, man, and dont get bummed cause im 99% sure you aren't just plain ****ed.
edit: just noticed screenie, but can't see it because my girlfriends retarded wanna-be stepdad decides to look at pr0n all night and continues to install "mywebsearch" **** and i can't get to it. :/
Hopped on my mytouch, still think your good but let someone else who knows more vertify that.

another option
one other thing you can do,
go to a rogers store, and tell them you tried applying the so called essential upgrade 'b/c you care about your safety' and the '911 issue is a important fix'. tell them you recieved instructions to do w/e it is using the SD card method.
basically, you tried the update ---> phone got messed up.
i know someone else did it and it was grounds for them just giving you a new phone.
not saying 100% it'll work, but its worth it b/c you get a new device with the new ROM on it if it does.
goodluck.

Can you clarify which SD card method? Was it using the official DREAIMG.nbh from Rogers?
I thought that I had bricked my phone because I went for a hail mary attempt to root my phone. But unfortunately it wouldn't get past the Rogers screen.
However, after talking to a CSR, they sent me a link to the Windows 7 file and it rewrote everything back onto my phone and I was able to boot it normally again.

@r3s-rt
Ya, thanks. I figured I wasn't completely boned.

I had the same problem while installing the new update yesterday. I had to call Rogers to guide me through it and even he couldn't figure it out. My phone just kept rebooting over and over after installing the first update. Even in recovery mode it didn't give me a chance to wipe, flash or restore anything because it would reboot in a matter of 2 seconds. The tech support guy on the phone had no idea what to do. I finally realised that I had a seperate Mini SDcard USB adapter that I could put my SDcard in and then plug into the USB. That allowed me to access my SDcard so I was able to delete the first SAPPIMG and then put the new SAPPIMG from the second update onto the SDcard. I repeated the same process from the first update (I was able to access fastboot without it rebooting), everything installed perfectly and now the phone is up and running great. If you don't have a Mini SDcard to USB adapter I'd suggest picking one up at your nearest Electronics store. I believe I picked mine up at BestBuy for $35 which came with a 4gb class 4 SDcard. The adapter is so small that it actually sits on my key-chain. Hope this helps.

I was rooted before, this is why I'm sure I've had the same problem as many of you. It seems though that this issue doesn't just stop at us... This issue has been happening with many other carriers and I'm not sure why (as of yet). I've flashed dozens of other Sense ROM's and even ROM's without Sense for ei. Espresso and Eclair and they all worked fine before. This new Sense ROM from Rogers is fantastic. So try what I did and you should be on your way with no issues.
Now if only we can root this damn phone.

After the update your phone won't be rooted anymore, therefor your warranty will still be in effect. After flashing the first update it already changes your SPL and Radio therefor Rogers wouldn`t know if you were rooted prior to the update. If you stuck in the boot loop just follow my instructions and you will be home free.

Happy to hear that I could help. They did misname the files but how could you blame someone who goes by the name of Rogers. I have several services with them and it's nothing but headaches with them.
I'm sure it was a rushed update as well. The devs at HTC were probably pressed for time to get this update up and out the door within a couple of days. Rogers will possibly be a major distributor for them in the next upcoming years.

Thanks a lot!
That solved it.

Anyone been able to root this ROM yet..?? I have tryed everything and I just keep semi bricking my phone.. but I can always recover it.

[Q] What can I do? (Stuck in Fastboot)

I was using the new HTC Gratia Rom that was posted in the development forum, was restoring some apps with Titanium Backup manager when my phone rebooted, then it got stuck in a boot loop. I wiped it and rebooted again but no joy, stayed stuck in the loop.
Anyway, I recently installed a new recovery image, one of the ones for jailbreaking the PS3, so I have no USB access. Also it has a few extra options for wiping than the Amon RA recovery, and I guess I shouldn't have used the format boot option! Now on bootup all I get is "FASTBOOT USB", though I can still get into the psfMod recovery image.
That isn't much use to me though, as I stupidly deleted my nandroid backup and the update.zip file from my SD Card earlier while tidying it up a little bit. I don't have any other way of accessing the SD card and attempts to push another recovery image (with USB access) have failed.
I've also tried to install RUU's, both a T-Mobile UK one and a WWE one. That results in the following error: "ERROR [140] BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR".
I guess because the current image version is: 3.31.110.1 and the RUU is only: 2.73.110.26. I don't think there's an RUU of this version available, from reading it sounds like it was an OTA, it's not something I installed myself, T-Mobile sent me this phone recently after my screen stopped working properly.
If you've managed to read this far without falling asleep, any suggestions would be welcome hopefully not just that I should buy a card reader cos I could do with getting my phone going again asap.

You got access to another phone which uses a micro SD? Could use that to put the zip onto the card.
Making a goldcard springs to mind as well
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App

Thanks for the tip, I had considered this already but I thought my brothers Legend (he doesn't live close) was my best bet. Turns out I had access to an N95 that did the trick

same problem
im a complete n00b
screen got replaced last month. new software was installed im guessing.
tried to use the tmobile ruu's to repair. there isnt one i can use though.
tried putting an engineering spl onto my sd card and using fastboot not really sure what happened there but it did not work.
does anyone have the appropriate update in zip format. not sure how i will get it to work but im trying all the things i read.
i do have backups but im not really sure what to do with them.
other than htc has anyone ever created an ruu?

What is the problem with urs exactly?

the problem is that im stuck in a cyanogen boot loop.
i have access to the generic fastboot only. therefore i have no ability to repair my phone from within the phone itself.
my phone is currently on hboot 1.76.0007.
i thought i had flashed clockworkmod. but for some reason or another beyond me it has disappeared.
the version of android i have running is 2.1, the tmobile version. the update number is 3.31.110.1. i understand that is the perfected spl version.
i have tried to fix using the ruu files. but i understand that the version on my phone as an ota update. therefore no ruu is applicable at this time.
i have tried many methods mentioned in various forums with no success.
thanks for responding to my post so quickly.

[Q] HD2 freezes at 0% during update or flash

Hi searched the threads and cant find the answer. HD2 512.Radio_2_14_50_04
Put HSPL on it no bother
Ran Magldr 1.3 it flashed, the phone said reboot but didn't. Took the battery out and the phone restarted but came up with the hit 1 error.
Put it in bootloader tried to flash a standard rom, froze at 0% then failed.
Renamed the Nbh file and put it on the memory card, back into bootloader, phone said loading but nothing happened.
Tried to run task 29 sticks at 0%
The bootloader is stating usb, so I have now ran out of ideas, so any help would be appreciated.

Here is my run down. try using a different USB port just in case it is a driver issue. Did you you use a 500MB to a 4GB Sd card formated Fat 32? Maybe you got a bad download try redoanloading or copying it to the SD card, maybe bad file transfer. Make sure you try running the update as administator. Heck just keep trying period, it seems like several people or having this kind of problem as you with not being able to get the phone to boot and then not being able to flash a ROM to fix it. But through perserverience they did get it to flash just had to keep trying and trying. By chance does it even show the screen on .oot up that has the R, G, and B in red letters if so what does the R and the D have beside them?

The minute you tried to flash a stock rom from SD,, you removed hspl, even if the flash stopped at 0%. In fact it stopped at 0 because hspl is no longer there to allow the flash and I suspect you used just any stock rom, not the correct stock rom.,,,, ditto with task29.

Hi The phone does go into the red/geen/blue boot screen. (will post later what the writing in red states)
Using a 2gig memory card which was formatted using panosonic and is fat32.
Tried different usb then a different laptop (both running windows 7) Tried a fresh download of the rom from HTC using the seriel no on the phone so should be the right one. Tried to run the RUU from both the laptop and renamed on the card. Not sure if its worth trying to put CWM on it?

Hi
The rom was the official one downloaded from HTC based on the phones seriel No.
Will try installing HSPL again and Magldr, but was trying to put a standard rom on, as all the comments advise flashing back to standard if your having problems. Cannot understand why it is freezing at 0% on the laptop, or just saying loading when i try to do via memory card.
Cheers

If you are using a computer with Windows 7 on it when you go to run the update utity right click it first then click run as administrator. Sometimes when using Windows 7 this helps.
Edit: Ifyou are trying to flash a Windows Mobile ROM then no CWM would not .ebifit you as it is for Andriod ROMs on the HD2.

Same with MAGLDR.
MAGLDR and CWM are ONLY for WP7 and Android.
Reflash HSPL , install the radio you named in the OP, then try a custom win6.5 rom such as Energyrom.....

Yea I understand, but when the standard rom would not run, tried a few android roms as well.
Now have managed to install the HTC rom from the sd card, but on reboot sticks at the white htc screen. Not sure if its maybe a battery issue. So am waiting for a wall charger to be delivered.

Make sure you have a current radio version and not a older version. The most current radio version is 2.15.50.14, and you can download it here. It flashes just like a ROM either via computer and USB cable or SD card, exactly the same as flashing a ROM.

you may have a nand memory corruption. The phone should have been capable of reflashing itself if you can get to the bootloader and use a proper stock rom. If your phone either fails to flash or flash completely but gets stuck on next reboot, you can have some corrupted memory sectors. The phone will be able to write on them but the information can't be read, therefore the phone will lock up. Think of them like bad sectors on a hard disk drive. I had these sort of problems with some older HTC's and Eten's, in some case you could eventually flash them but however you will still experience some problems or errors. In other cases it will simply fail on every flash attempt or at the boot screen. I only managed to fix these by connecting the board to a JTAG interface and marking those sectors as "bad" then reflashing the phone after i run a special version of bootloader directly from ram memory, line by line.
I also saw these problems on boards with problems in the cpu area (bad soldering, mechanical shocks etc).
I hope that's not the case with you, maybe you simply have some logical problems with the internal memory or the spl area.

Cheers, thinking of sending it for repair, now ran out of ideas. Installed the latest rom from HTC, it said everything from radio to wallpaper had installed correctly, but still will not get past the white screen with the HTC logo.

you can try another last thing. place a stock rom onto the memory card, place the card in the phone then place the phone in a transparent bag and put it in the refrigerator. Wait for about 1 hour, then... with the phone still in the refrigerator area, start it (don't remove it from the bag) in bootloader mode to flash it from the microsd card. Wait untill the process completes, then at the first restart when the phone is displaying the logo, quickly open the bag, remove the battery, then leave the phone & battery separate, in the bag for another hour in the refrigerator. After all this, remove them from the refrigerator and try to normally start the phone while it's still cold. If this doesn't work, then i'm afraid you have 80% chances of hardware NAND memory corruption/damage.
If this works, then you have a problem with the qualcomm chipset, it's pretty known, the BGA soldering between the chip and motherboard got damaged by excesive heat produced by the CPU and now some connections are not making proper electrical contact, thus producing errors in the cpu's normal operation. If the phone is very cold, the cpu and soldering will contract, thus giving the BGA matrix a chance to remake those electric contacts, for the moment - untill it heats up again.
The 2 problems can be related to each other. First, a CPU that works improperly (due to BGA failure) can disrupt I/O operation on the nand memory chip. Overtime this could lead to a situation where some memory blocks are destroyed due to improper handling by the qualcomm chipset and although the memory chip reports a number of blocks available for writing when you flash the device, some of these blocks are unaccesable when reading back. Somehow, if this is the case here, these blocks must be marked as damaged, so the memory chip's controller doesn't report them back as available and prevent them from being used anymore. I don't know how this can be done in HD2 as i don't have the hardware datasheet for either the qualcomm chipset or the memory chip itself. Like i've said, it was possible on some older devices by disassembling and directly connecting the cpu to a jtag bridge, as i could figure out how the cpu works from the original aplication notes and datasheets from samsung.

Thanks for that, my wife stuck it into a shop when I was out. (she is sick of me messing on with it)
They have told her it is only a software issue, not sure they know what they are doing.
If they do not fix it I will try this method.
Cheers

stuck

hello all i was trying to install the android on my hd2 phone
got all the way to where i ran the rom updated utilerty and now its stuck on the htc screen ,at load up of the phone
i have read about this happening ,
and read that you hold the volum button and power and boots up ,,,which it does goes to system and the plug it in to my laptop ,,,,,
then get the USB on the screen of the phone ,,,,
but i dont have a rom to back it up with ,,could some one please point me in the right direction of where to get this fome and how to get it to work thanks

I assume (since about ten people per day ask exactly this) that you flashed magldr but magldr didn't start as expected? This is caused by (as I type half a dozen times a day) by not having 2.08.hspl AND a compatible radio.

You haven't given any real details as to what you have done so far.
Details details details.
So, tell us what you did so far, please. Please be detailed, with names, filenames, versions, etc. not just 'i flashed that thing and now nothing works'

hope this helps more
ill start from the start
i first ran this file HSPL3_PKG.exe this run fine without any problems
then i ran this file rom updateutility from this rar folder ive downloaded called DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF
now this is where it all went wrong ,i ticked all the boxes and went thought the set up by following this video
got to 6;08 into the video and followed the steps
then got to 7;04 in the video and this is where the phone stayed on the htc screen for 30 mins ,,,and its done nothing
so i unplugged it
now i read that its possible to get the phone back to booting up with another offical rom from htc but carnt find the rom that ill need ,,plus the windows mobile wont reconise my phone in usb mode
hope this helps you a little more to solving my problem

and sorry i carnt post the link to the video yet as ive not done my 8 posts

ok, so its all fine so far, you just haven't yet done the next step, which is flash a compatible radio. (had you changed the radio after flashing hspl and before flashing magldr, magldr would have started straight away)
(I shall assume that you have a regular hd2, not a t mobile US model, since you haven't said, if it IS a tmous, then its a different problem)
download radio 2.15.50
enter bootloader
plug in usb
count to 5
run customruu to flash that radio
reboot
magldr should now start

thanks for your reply
ill go and find this radio now and keep you posted
thankyou

you rock dude
thank you so much for your time posting ,,
100% working andriod now
anything eles i should know please post

Lovely.
Only thing to know is that you shouldn't need to flash radio or magldr again now, if you want a different sized rom you may have to reflash cwm to change partition size, but if you ever have probs booting or whatever, nine times in ten someone will tell you to task29 and reflash stock and start over,,,, nine times in ten that's massive overkill.
Read read read is the best advice I can offer, see what issues others have and read the answer,, one day that issue might be yours, and you'll have a head start solving it. Never panic and start random flashing, that always ends badly, and means any help request posts are harder to work with.

thank for your reply
just a quick question for you
ive got a 16gb sd card in with about 300 app/games ,,and ive installed about 20 so far but now phone says memory full ,,should they be installing on sdcard instead of the phone memory
or is this normal for the phone memory to run out so fast

Depends on the rom, some leave 200+ free, some far far less. That's why most roms support an ext partition, which the phone treats as internal.
Backup your SD card (it will be wiped) start phone into cwm, then (I think its) advanced - format SD card, or something like that. Create a 1 or 2 gb ext partition, swap 0, and reflash the rom. C
The rest of the SD will be formatted to fat32 just like it is now.
It will detect the ext partition and use it as internal memory automatically. You should not choose the option to "move app to SD card", that will take the app off the ext partition and put it in the fat32 partition,, and some apps wont work from fat32.(angry birds for example)
