update radio on HTC Dream

I rooted my phone using the "one click" root method (from standard Rogers 1.5 firmware) (http://zenthought.org/system/files/asset/2/flashrec-1.1.1-20090908.apk) and then updated to the latest radio:
•2.22.19.26I
•Baseband Version: 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
•http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip
I initiall got the box with the arrow then the phone continued to the Rogers boot screen and has been stuck there for 20 minutes at least! So i took out the battery and turned it back on again and it get stuck on the Rogers screen still!
Have I bricked it!?! I thought you can only brick it when you update the SPL ... all I did was update the radio. Please HELP!
Thanks in advance.

Do you have a RA or Cyan recovery?
If so, try booting into it. You know, Home+Power.

yes when i did the "one step" root, it made a recovery image ... but when I press home+power it still sits on the Rogers screen!
the power+camera button combination doesn't work either.
--
If it helps I was following the instructions step by step from: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/howtos/howto_hack_your_android_g1_phone?page=0,2

If you have a Rogers Dream you should be following the guide here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod
You have a radio that is incompatible with your rom and recovery. You should be able to fix this by just flashing the radio for rogers phone again.
Boot into fastboot on your phone using camera and power on and check what SPL you have (hboot 1.33.00??).

according to that guide I bricked my phone:
2.Be very careful of any upgrade or mod instructions that require you to install an HTC "Recovery" zip/image, a replacement radio, or anything that might cause a difference of versions thereby bricking your phone.
eg: you currently have an EBI1 system and recovery image. If you boot an EBI0 radio image you will no longer be able to boot your phone.

That guide should really say "thereby possibly bricking your phone". I will make the change. If you want me to try to help you fix your phone I can but you will need to tell me what version your spl is.

I would appreciate your help! except that I can't boot into recovery mode/fast boot mode or any other mode, therefore can't check spl version.

I knew that you wouldn't be able to get into recovery but I thought you would still be able to get into fastboot. You can also try holding back while powering on. Without getting into one of these modes I'm afraid there's not much we can do.
Its sorta a long shot but you could try this: (its for the magic but its worth a shot as a last resort)

FLASH RADIO FIRST THEN FLASH SPL. LOOK BELOW FOR INSTRUCTIONS.
you are supposed to update radio and spl. you cannot choose one. first flash radio and when it says to reboot, reboot and it will reboot back into recovery when done. then flash the spl. same steps as above. then wipe data, wipe ext file system, then repair ext. after that flash the rom again. the radio and the spl is from the same site you used.
hope this helped. you should do research before flashing anything. i'm glad i did before flashing a new radio and spl. also once you get sorted out, flash the same recovery image i have (in signature) and make a nandroid backup for cyanogen or a donut rom and make a bart backup for hero rom (i recommend MLIGN 3.2B but switch to the Hero 2.1 ROM when they fix everthing) so you can switch those out. it is safe and I did it a lot of times.

I really want to get 1.6 on my device, (Rogers Dream) but I really don't want to flash the SPL, because if I brick that I have to buy a totally new Dream, no warranty.
What to do!
edit: I booted with camera and power and it says hboot is 1.33.0009, does this mean I don't have to risk bricking when I root? The tutorial is for 1.33.0010.

1) This is for ROGERS Dreams, they use different radios and SPLs to regular HTC Dreams/G1's. So your instructions would brick ROGERS Dreams.
2) You don't have to flash the radio and SPL at the same time. They are independant, however the 1.33.2005 requires the 26i radio. If you're on 1.1 and you upgrade to a 1.5/1.6 ROM you should update the radio, but there's no reason to change the SPL from stock unless you want to flash builds the require extra space in the NAND.

if im using the dwang 1.13 flash, will the sapphire radio update work with the g1? is it compatible?

sorry what does updating the radio do for you?

Downgrade hboot to eng hboot

I can't seem to find the guide for this. I know it can be done....or am I crazy. I rooted a friends phone this weekend. Tried to use unrevoked but it wouldnt work until I down graded froyo. He's rooted now. But still want to downgrade his hboot. And for the life of me I can't find the guide.

I think maybe this is what you want. It installs the eng hboot and amon ra recovery in one shot. The updated file with ra 1.8 is in post 18 in that thread. There's a guide in the first post. The only thing I can think to add is that you'll want to have a rom on the sd card ready to go. The reason being, it might boot loop after the install (mine did) and the only way I know to get out of it is to flash a new rom (or reflash the current one).

I can't post the link or i would just do that.
In the EVO 4G Android Development section, the post you want is called 'ENG bootloader (0.76 needed for CM6) extended fastboot commands'

Zikronix, I have just downgraded my HBOOT from .97 to 0.76.2000. (In fact done this a couple times both from 2.02 and .97). In case you still need this.. below are the steps.
1. Got my replacement EVO today (hboot .97, 3.29.651 build, 1.71 PRI)
2. Rooted it with this method using default (clockworkmod recovery)
3. Rebooted and flashed Amon_ra recovery (optional.. my preference)
4. Copied the correct Eng hboot file (renamed as PC36IMG.zip) to my sdcard, rebooted to bootloader, Eng hboot zip was flashed, I accepted update, done. Rebooted into recovery.
5. Flashed my favorite root ROM (this is necessary bcos the change on hboot does something funky to your existing rom, so you can only reboot into bootloader ... not sure why, some dev should be able to explain more)
6. Done.

[Q] Rooted MT4G with grankin's gfree. Confused about needing bootloader.

Rooted with the "check this out even if" thread. Worked fine, found out that gfree doesn't root, but that visionary is what actually roots you when using it for teh second time after gfree turns radio security off. (had su denied in terminal a few times after gfree until I ran visionary and rebooted twice- it finally took)
So a big thanks to everyone.
The question is- at the end of the above thread, it says 0.85 bootloader is not necessary to flash a rom (i'm on royal ginger now so i know that), but that it would help avoid bricks in the future. Meanwhile, on the CM wiki for MT4G, it goes thru the abd rooting method, and it says that bootloader is not recommended.
Now, which is it? I don't want one of these
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028615
where I read that there's people who flash one rom a single time like royalginger 1.6, then want to goto CM7.02 or vice versa, and that's all it takes to get in some boot loop. Now it might be that they're not wiping everything they should wipe, or wipe once instead of twice (which shouldnt be necessary), but it still makes you wonder.
Should I flash the 085 bootloader? Running fine on RG1.6, but may try CM 7.02 or RG2.0 when it's out of testing...
Thanks

The engineering bootloader is not required, but some of us do recommend it. IF you should have something go south you can flash recovery images, sections of the ROM, erase sections of the ROM, clear stuff. It helps if you should run into a problem. Their have been a few threads that people would of bricked their devices if they didn't have it.
The final choice is up to you. But if it were my phone i'd do it. If you are worried about the code you have to punch in to unlock it, just double and triple check it.

hmm... what is it specifically that i cant do if i don't flash the engineering bootloader?
my partial answer to my own question is that i cant use fastboot commands thru adb, right? but i dont fully know what the heck fastboot is anyway.
also, what about the pdimg15 thing? is that not possible to flash back to stock with pdimg15 if i dont have the 085 bootloader?
anything else i cant do without H085?

You cannot flash specific sections of the ROM if something should go south. You cannot flash recovery images via the HBoot, and you cannot flash splash images.

fastboot = hBoot = Engineering Screen.
Basically it what allows you to flash items via the Engineering screen. You cannot mount sections of the ROMs, nor can you clear stuff out if you should so choose.

You can flash the PD15IMG via either recovery image. but it appears that if you use the 3.0.0.5, 3.0.0.6, or the 3.0.2.4 recovery image while trying to flash the PD15IMG (via the HBoot) it will brick your device. So that is not always a fail safe method.
basically the .85 HBoot a BIG tool to help you not brick your device.

thanks so far.. ok, im getting convinced. here's my reference for an eventuality where i'd need to rescue myself from some boot loop and reflash stock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924923
so, in continuing to try to understand recoveries and boot screens here, i saw that after step three in the above thread, it says
"Some times at the end it will boot into fastboot rather then hboot. If this happens just scroll to bootloader and boot into it."
but then you wrote "fastboot = hBoot = Engineering Screen."
so why does the guide say "rather"? (indcating "does not equal")
second, you wrote
"You can flash the PD15IMG via either recovery image. but it appears that if you use the 3.0.0.5, 3.0.0.6, or the 3.0.2.4 recovery image while trying to flash the PD15IMG (via the HBoot) it will brick your device. So that is not always a fail safe method."
"either recovery image" -- you're referring to Clockwork Mod recovery and hboot?
And if you've seen that 3005 - 3024 may brick a PD15IMG flash, then what-- you dont go through Clockwork mod screen at all, you boot into hboot instead?
thanks for slogging thru this so i can get to my "aha!" moment....

when we are talking about booting into Recovery, or the Engineering screen. Fastboot, hBoot, and Engineering screen are all pretty much one in the same. Just like some people call softdrinks, "pop", "soda", or "coke". It's terminology. the reason for the "Some times at the end it will boot into fastboot rather then hboot. If this happens just scroll to bootloader and boot into it." Is even though are in a "bootloader" screen the phone must pick up and recognize that you want to use fastboot. so sometimes, not typical though, you must select the "fastboot option".

Correct there have been several threads popping up that are pointing to people have bricked their devices by flashing the PD15IMG in the Engineering screen but they are using the wrong recovery image. It always said something to the degree of "fail -PU". One guy was able to fix his by flashing the 2.5 recovery image from the Engineering screen then flashing the PD15IMG.

Yes to flash the PD15IMG you need to be in the Engineering Screen. but from reading that other thread you need the 2.5 recovery image to do it.

Wow- so I have to get rid of 3024 and flash cwm2545 (or whatever that exact number is) to use the pd15img that's so important to regaining control over a hypothetical borked flash?

i think we are on two different wave lengths.
one of the first Clockwork recoverys that came out where for 2.2 style ROMs, where store information in an EXT3 format. When Google released 2.3 we needed a new recovery image to flash the EXT4 design that the 2.3 ROMs bring. 3.0.0.5 will only handle 2.2 ROMs 3.0.0.6 and 3.0.2.4 will do both.
The problem lies in the fact that EXT3 and EXT4 ROMs store and handle information differently.
using the recovery image while trying to load the PD15IMG will cause the load to fail.
Now if you have the engineering screen loaded you can manually load the 2.5.1.4 recovery image via the Engineering screen then flash the PD15IMG and all should be good.
But this is only if you need to revert back to 100% stock.

we're not on 2 wavelengths, i'm just talking like an inebriated baby on no sleep!
thanks for the patience you display toward everyone, all the while having a guide which spells all this stuff out...
so the file system rules, and since 2.3's obvious big upgrade was the F/S, it borked previous recoveries.
so i'm on CWM3024, the latest, which i installed via rommanager, and it flashed it, and i nandroid backed up.
so im set for ext3 and ext4 incl pd15img, (which is ext3). right?
also, flashing pd15img- that reverts the bootloader from 085 to 086 again?

Um...neidlinger, fastboot and hboot are two totally different things. Keep in mind, I am not picking on you...
Appreciate your enthusiasm, but you are wrong a lot.

Clockworkmod does not work!!!

I'm really at a stage now where i wanna just throw my htc desire hd at the wall!!!! I am trying to just install a custom firmware, not much to ask considering the mammoth amount of hacking you have to do to even downgrade the firmware. I have done absolutley everything that needs to be done to root this device, i have downgraded the firmware i have rooted it, switched off eng s-off and radio s-off i have full root acess with terminal emulator, i put the update zip on the sd card it says something about installation invalid thats because first time i did not disable radio s-off then it went slightly further but then said some other error i have tried everything, i tried rom manager and selected reboot in recovery mode but now it just makes the phone freeze on the htc boot screen when selecting recovery from the boot menu, can someone please please help, how hard can it be just to install coredroids firmware, why can't it just be as easy as the pd98img firmware
help much apprieciated

clockworkmod recovery works fine. Something has just gone wrong with your installation.
To avoid complications later on, you haven't "switched off ENG S_OFF" you've made made S-ON S-OFF and added ENG S-OFF.
You talk about update.zip, is this for a ROM (CoreDroid?)? Which ROM? Did it tell you to rename it to update.zip? If a ROM then it had nothing to do with Radio S-OFF as you only need that for flashing radio.img files and if it was a radio you were trying to push you should use fastboot not recovery. Are you using the right version of recovery (it's very specific about the version required)?
When everything has been installed correctly and instructions followed it is VERY easy to install coredroid's ROM.

hi thanks for the reply, i just follwed the instructions for installing a custom rom as it asks u to chang it to s-off but the guide also says you need to install the update.zip for clockworkmod to get to choose the custom flash rom you want to use but all i get when i select update.zip from the recovery menu is e:signature verification failed installation aborted

Ok, they don't make it very clear do they?
Have you got ROM Manager installed?
Have you got clockworkmod recovery installed? If so what version is it. If not then use ROM Manager to flash it and flash 2.5.1.3 version (as that what it says).
Get the above. Then let me know.

hi mate its version 4.2.0.2 if i select flash clockworkmod recovery it completly causes the recovery menu in bootloader to just hang on the htc startup screen

Sorry, I meant recovery version but it looks like you still need to do that.
In that case push the recovery.img file (grab from the Coredroid thread) using fastboot.
Normally issues are because people miss things but you've confirmed you have ENG S-OFF, Radio S-OFF and root.

ok i tried running this image file in fastboot from this thread http://android.modaco.com/content/z...led-tft-30-nov-2-5-1-3-clockworkmod-recovery/
its written ok but when i select recovery from bootloader it just hangs on the htc startup screen grrr this is just impossible.

That's not for the desire HD.
Grab a 3.x.x.x version from clockwork 3.0.2.8 thread and try that (you can downgrade easily once we got something working).

So this is my old phone and my friend tried to root it about a year ago and now it only gets stuck on the splash screen! I can get into hboot and flash boot mode but that's all I know how to do.
I have a Droid Razr and I've rooted and flashed it so I know about the process' but not for the MyTouch.
I've seen it makes a difference if I'm 32a or 32b so for reference I'm 32b. I'd just like to hopefully get it un-softbricked. And preferably without having to connect to a computer, but if need be I will ( I don't have a USB for this phone, but I can manage the micro-SD with my Razr.

I'm aasuming u have the android sdk on your computer with fastboot installed?
The next step now is to flash a new recovery which u already downloaded and how u do that is to put that .img file into your android sdk fastboot directory boot your phone into fastboot mode and open a command prompt in your fastboot directory and type these
Fastboot devices (to make sure its connected)
Fastboot flash recovery "name of your file"
If u have a sucess here u have flashed your new recovery and should be able to boot into it.
The next step now is to flash a new radio
AND THE LAST THING TO DO IS FLASH A SPL THAT CAN WORK WITH YOUR PHONE..

Edit: I have successfully flashed the new radio, updated my phone info to reflect. Currently figuring out the whole SPL thing, then my previous question of the custom ROM still applies lol
Edit #2: Successfully changed SPL i believe, updating phone info to reflect the change. Now im assuming i flash a ROM and i should be set???
Edit #3: I flashed that CronMod ROM you mentioned and when i boot, it sits on splash for like 10 secs and then reboots and its a continious loop. Im assuming that is probably just a bad flash? Im not used to AmonRa recovery. Is CWM still supported??

I have successfully flashed the new recovery via the program you recommended. Currently searching for the radio you mentioned and then next would be the SPL. After all that will I have to flash a ROM as well?
Right now my phone info is:
