something's wrong with the image file you're trying to install. From the looks of it, the files aren't signed, so the phone won't install it.
I'm assuming you're looking for the official 1.6 image and you have a regular g1, not a ADP1 so...
look around the forums here, someone reuploaded those files since htc pulled them down from their website.
Be aware that if you just install the official 1.6 image, the recovery menu is gonna be gone. Or at least it was for me when i did. You're gonna have to reinstall the recovery menu if you use just the official image, without any other roms like CM.
Do I need to install this Dream 1.6 image first or fix SPL since I can't get to bootloader? How can I flash Radio and SPL if I can't get to bootloader mode?

did you ever find a fix?? i'm having the same problem
Your Home key isn't stuck is it? If you only press Back while you're in recovery, does the phone reboot, or do you HAVE to press Home + Back? It's a longshot, but that would be an epic facepalm if I may say so myself.
Im pretty much having this same problem, i cant even get into shell via adb, I get a "exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)" error. another error that i am getting is the E:Can't read MISC: (no space on device) in the recovery console, and i read that the MISC partition contains boot information. i would really like to find a solution to this as i have been looking for a few months now.

Anyone ever figure this out? Trying to help a friend out with a G1.

Just use this^
The downgrading part should restore you back to stock 1.0
My belief is that if you screw up restore to stock 1.0 and redo everything
If you gave us a bit more detail though we might find a easier method for you
Thanks, my friend got the phone with a broken screen and all it does its boot to the screen with the exclamation point on it.
Followed the guide in your link to downgrade the firware. We get stuck on the step to boot into bootloader. Holding camera and power just gets us to recovery (screen with exclamation) not into bootloader. After messing around a bit I found that if I hold "home" and "back" and then press power it SOMETIMES goes into bootloader. When I do get into bootloader nothing works to flash the .nbh file. By nothing works i mean no buttons work at all to flash or to cancel.

Same issue but a little more twisted
I tried flashing my G1 and it bricked(Soft Brick).
Somehow by luck I flashed the DREAIMG.nbh and have a stock phone now.
But the problem is I cant pass the Stratup screen because I get no network.
Unable to connect to the internet as well.
I tried the orange DREAIMG.nbh which bypasses the startup screen, even thought i come to the Home screen i get no network.
It gives an Error while trying to search for a Network.
When i try to flash any update.zip files it gives an error
E: No Signature
E: Verification Failed
Installation aborted.
When I enter the Recovery mode i get a error line saying " E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Any run around to this??? Is this by any chance a Hardware issue?
I doubt it, what recovery do you have? Also with the spl you know have just use fastboot flash for you roms, your error rate will be down to nothing
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using xda premium
Its a Android System recovery utility, I cant get to the home screen also becuase i have no connectivity to get past the the Google sign in screen...
I tried the Fastboot but have no idea how to go with it!!
Need some help with it...
There are plenty of fastboot how tos amoung these threads here, otherwise go straight to the sdk website and there will be plenty of options, on my phone now so I can't walk you through it well. Pretty much download the sdk package to your comp and then make sure all the proper drivers are downloaded. Either change the variables in your device manager or open a cmd in the folder where fastbooot is located. You can also just change directories to get there. Put the files you need in the same folder as fastboot. Plug in your phone with it in hboot mode and you should see fastboot usb show up. The do fastboot -w then fastboot flash for whatever rom you need. Check the toutorials it will be more help

So, after following this forum on and off over the past few months, I finally decided to root my Rogers Dream.
I was one of the first customers to receive a phone with SPL 1.33.0010, as mine was shipped to me directly from rogers as a hardware upgrade. Because of this, rooting was a little more difficult for me than I had initially anticipated, however, after having found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558301), I was able to downgrade to SPL 1.33.2005.
From this point, I started following the instructions found here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod. I was able to re-flash the downgraded OS, and rebooted to a T-mobile G1 splash screen. After going through the various steps, I got stuck where it said to reboot into recovery mode. I held down the home key while powering up, as instructed, but instead of booting to the recovery screen, I was greeted with an image of an exclamation point inside a triangle, hovering over a cartoon of a G1.
I was able to reboot using the 3 fingered salute (send-menu-power), but I was unable to load the recovery screen. I then attempted to bring up the boot loader by holding down the camera button while powering on. The screen I was greeted with did not resemble the boot loader I was used to seeing. It is composed of four horizontal coloured bars, and lists the phone information as follows:
DREA210 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.000
CPLD-4
RADIO-1.22.12.29
Sep 2 2008
I'm looking for suggestions on how I should proceed from here. Any help would be most appreciated. Although the phone does make phone calls, and will send and receive text messages, it will not send or receive data, unless connected to wifi.
Thanks,
Grant
So I'm a little rusty but let me give it a shot. While holding home + power it may seem to just get stuck after a minute, but have you tried pressing alt + L ? This makes the recovery text visable (if it's not by default).
hope this helps..
Looks like you've ended up on the stock g1 bootloader.. did you flash the rc29 DREAIMG?

Yes. The phone thinks it's a T-mobile G1, but it still works with my Rogers SIM.

I did this, and the recovery text did indeed become visible, however, I now have a new problem.
I hit Alt+W as per the instructions in the wiki, and it reset the phone. I then hit Alt+A, and nothing happens.
This is the text I see on the screen when I'm in recovery mode:
Androind system recovery utility
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/com
mand
Home+Back - reboot system now
Alt+L - toggle log text display
Alt+S - apply sdcard:update.zip
Alt+W - wipe data/factory reset
After attempting Alt+A, I hit Alt+S, just to see what would happen. Of course, it tried to update from package, but returned an error because there is no "update.zip" on the phone. I'm tempted to rename "update-cm-4.2.5-signed.zip" as "update.zip", just to see what happens. I'll post again once I've done this, but any suggestions from more experienced people would be most appreciated.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
Alright, so I renamed "update-cm-4.2.5-signed.zip" as "update.zip", and it aborted the installation because there was no signature. I did the same thing with "signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip", with the same result.
It sounds like you still have the stock recovery image

When you say stock recovery image, are you referring to the one I have installed on the phone already, or the one I'm trying to install with no success?
The image currently on the phone is the DREAIMG.nbh (rc29), which I downloaded via the wiki. The images I am trying to load also came from links in the wiki.
By recovery I'm refering to what you access when you boot with home + power where you can apply your updates (where you're seeing your triangle & exclamation point)
I just looked at cyanogen's wiki and it seems like that particular part could stand to be updated androidandme has a decent guide on how you could do this though.
http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-root-a-t-mobile-g1-and-mytouch-3g-android-phone/
I'm not sure if flashrec works with RC29 which is what version you should be on after flashing DREAIMG.nbh, but you can give parts A1, A2, & A3 a shot, that would probably be the easiest way to update your recovery. If you can't get flashrec to work skip down to B2 and that will show you how to do it using telnet which does work from RC29
Once you update you're recovery image you should be able to apply "update.zip" or without renaming them by selecting the "apply any zip from sd" option
Thanks, Jackslim. I did as you suggested, and was able to install the CM update, as per the wiki, however, when it boots up, it shows the blue cyanogen android, and then reverts to a completely blank screen. I'm going to try reinstalling everything to see if that fixes it. Thanks for your help though.

After you install that recovery image you still have to go through the steps to install the ADP image before you add the cyangen update, then you should be cookin' with crisco
So just start back up on cyanogen's wiki from the section called "File Download"
Just to clarify, even though it is not booting up properly, I am now able to install whatever I want using recovery mode, so it's just a matter of figuring out what will work. Thanks again for all your help.

I did get it working, thanks. Now I just have to reload all my contacts and apps, but I have already noticed a difference in device responsiveness. It's like going from Windows Vista to Windows 7. Thanks again.
Can't find info on this anywher but bought a phone off ebay and just boots into recovery mode. Can't get into bootloader mode to dreaming.nbh the thing. Is this considered bricked? i can get to recovery mode. i hit alt + L and i have the factory recovery system. at the bottom it does say E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command ... HELP PLEASE
I'm having the same EXACT issue. Haven't found a solution yet.
I'm going to bump this.
I've researched the last 4 hours about how to restore the G1 and all of them require the phone to enter into the bootloader (gray screen). I can not for the life of me get my G1 into the boot loader. It has no water damage that i know of. If I hold Home + Back + power I can get to the HTC erase phone thing but nothing responds.
Camera + Power does nothing other than turn the phone on and it goes into recovery mode.
Maybe an official bootloader in an update.zip format?
Tried all 3 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455860
They all get verified and installation starts but then it aborts installation immediately.
Bumpage for some answers. I have an ADP1 phone. I've tried all the images from http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s3.
1.1 and 1.5 all verify and start the installation but they immediately stop and I get a message saying "Installation aborted". I've tried flashing the radio image first but I get the same result.
Ok, I have another thread elsewhere but it's not helping. Here's the deal.
Dell Bought AT&T Streak on Contract.
I rooted by Universal Androot and it said "woot" it worked (or something to that affect)
As far as "Update.pkg" I have used 4399 and 6941 and below is what happens (with other recoveries too, 6941 and clockwork)
I then got into fastboot and flashed recovery r1-4399-Streak-Recovery and it went well. Phone said "done"
So I unplugged from USB, took out battery, put back in and held volume/up/down and power..........chose 2
Dell logo comes up for a second then I get taken to a screen where it says
Android System recovery utility - GAUSB1A110421
Press the Shutter button to start emergency software recovery.
Warning: All data will be erased.
Press the Volume Down button to power off without recovery.
I have tried not hitting anything (which takes me to the Dell Logo eventually where it just stays stuck) and I have tried hitting the camera button which does the same (after I get a load icon)
So, since I don't have access to my phone to know exactly what stage it's in, I don't know where to start again.........Please help........I really need my phone and at this point don't care about 2.1. I have about 9 hours into this so far.........
Tried another way by using clockwork recovery 1.8.1.7 (any later versions just boot into a black screen)
I initially get Cant Find MISC: errors, but still get options so I installed build 6941 and got a few more errors.........then
install from sdcard complete
E: Can't find MISC:
so I was back in clockwork and held the camera button on "reboot" and am stuck at the Dell Logo again.............Please, I'm about to call Dell and turn this back in, I seriously need a phone........2 days with this and I think I've tried everything.........
So what do you have on there as of right now?
last thing I was able to install through clockwork was
downloaded 4399-update-streak-stock-rooted-signed.zip from http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/314313/how-to-get-your-streak-back-to-factory-condition/ and renamed the whole zip file update.pkg then through clockwork I get what's written below......
update.pkg.zip
E: cant find Misc
finding update package...
opening update package...
Installing update...
Installing system...
Writing boot image...
Install Complete!
Install from sdcard complete.
then from clockwork recovery I go to "reboot system now"
and get E: Can't find MISC:
Then it reboots and I see the Dell Logo and the Home and Menu Keys flash like crazy, then I have the Dell Logo and it just stays there (30 mins so far)
I really feel like I've tried every combination, This round it keeps flashing the home and menu keys every couple of minutes, but is still on the Dell menu.
Are you sure you're renaming it right? I don't think it should display update.pkg.zip.....
I have tried downloading just PKG files and renaming them and using stock recoveries, as well as downloading "zip" files and renaming them............given that I don't think anything has ever taken, I'm not sure what build I have anymore, or where to start?? I have seriously tried everything I can find from Streaksmart, MoDaCo, and here............I think I have too many variables going on and no way to know where a starting point is..........is there something I can do from the SD card through a reader that will help, or what...........I'm thinking I'm still on my 1.6 ATT 6061, but really don't know.
Hm, maybe try this?
HOW TO RESTORE YOUR STREAK BACK TO FACTORY CONDITION:
Option 1.
1. Download the stock recovery ROM HERE (http://hotfile.com/dl/61659279/506ac40/recovery.stock.img.html) and the stock official Dell ROM HERE (http://hotfile.com/dl/61663686/7d7e528/Streak_104_4399_21.pkg.html).
2. Rename the stock official Dell ROM 'Update.pkg' and put it in the root directory on your SD card.
3. Boot Streak in fast boot mode (hold camera button when turning on), press 'Fast boot Mode' button, wait 10 seconds then connect to your PC (must have Dell PC suite installed).
4. Open a command prompt, navigate to the folder where your 'fast boot-windows.exe' is stored.
5. Type 'fastboot-windows.exe -i 0x413c flash recovery c:\recovery.stock.img' . Make sure the .img file is in c:\ directory. The program will now update the recovery image on your Streak.
6. Once the phone reads 'Recovery Done', remove the battery and insert it again.
7. Boot Streak in Recovery mode (hold down vol up and vol down when turning on) and select option 2.
5. Wait till it installs and it'll boot into Android....DONE!
Option 2
Place update.pkg on SD card root folder
Power up streak whilst holding both volume buttons
Select option 2 - "software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD card" by pressing camera button
Press camera button again Job done
Thanks to the Guys over at MODACO for putting this together.

No problem. Glad I could be of assistance!
I have 2.1 now, and it's awesome!! Not sure why folks are wanting to go back to stock....and now that the source code is out, I'm sure good things are coming!!
could you give a list of the files you used to get to 2.1?
I'm using a U.S dell streak Build 6601. Rooted with the flashing buttons. I've returned it to the stock recovery ROM because all the others and clockwork that I tried gave me the blank screen like you described. With the stock recovery and the O2 build from the post JaysFreaky mentioned gives me errors:
E: No Signature (972 files)
E: Verification Failed
Thanks!
Oh and a general question, would the official O2 2.1 update work on a rooted U.S streak? Or is it best to "start fresh" with the O2 1.6?
Okay, I'm successful now too, But I want to share HOW I achieved my success.
I followed the advice here: http //forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7668927&postcount=6
And infact, I did so without using the custom Recovery roms, I just used the stock recovery WITH the 2.1 update, skipping the O2 1.6...be patient though, because through out the processes, there were moments I thought it was hanging, it wasn't. Also toward the last step, it sits at the O2 logo for a bit then it gives you the heavenly start up sound and you're GOOD TO GO.
Good luck everyone and happy streaking!

I used the recovery file from the post in this thread. and I used http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/316229/19-aug-streak-2-1-downloads-how-tos-rom-superboot-recovery/ for 6941. Worked fine, after reading all over the web though, I'm gonna say that something is "twitchy" about rooting and adding new ROMS on the streak though. I followed directions exactly from at least 6 different folks and there are still tons of questions being posted. I don't think it's peoples inability to follow directions, it's that what works for some, doesn't work for others.

I was an in the same situation as you were...
Streak US AT&T
Baseband version: unkown (used to say GAUSB1A111231-US, but not after numerous tries)
Kernel 2.6.29-perf
OEM version GAUSB1A111231
Build number 6601
Device is rooted. (Universal Andoroot)
Flashing the 4399 recovery image apparently works (says Done)
But as soon as it reboot and flash the Update.pkg (tried o2 stock 4399 1.6) I have the error message:
E: No Signature (972 files)
E: Verification Failed
After that I reboot and I'm back on AT&T 1.6. No harm done, so I've decided to try going direct to 6491 2.1.
No "E:" error message. It goes directly into loading the new ROM!!
However, after 2 reboots, it still doesn't pass the DELL logo screen!!! So I'm trying the one from Jays (apparently different from 4399 stock as the file doesn't have the same size). This time the home and menu buttons flashes all the time but I get all the way to the O2 screen and finally the Streak starts!!!!
Then I've applied the O2 2.1 6941, which at the end of the process produced a new screen with a green install progress bar and the info: DT: A3.724 Built date: Jul 7, 2010 10:03:09.
After that the system automatically proceeded to a factory reset and rebooted.
I thought I'd post my story in case it helped others!
Anyone still watching this thread?
I have an AT&T version of the Streak. I have the stuck logo, flashing lights issue. also. I think I've tried everything possible on these forums and had no luck yet. When I attempt to flash the stock rom (or any rom) it says "error in E: /sdcard/update.pkg.dec" My poor NEW Streak hasn't seen the face of Android UI in two days! PLEASE HELP ME!
Remember, O2 1.6 and 2.1 are not flashed from clockwork. Just put the Update.pkg in the ROOT of your SD card and use the stock recovery. There is not manual find for it. If you get stuck a the Dell Logo, do a factory reset and reboot.

I have intentend all recommendations in this thread and in Modaco, Streaksmart.com, etc, etc.....and nothing: my device is locked and dead,.....please I need help!!!!!!...any idea is apreciated.
Thanks.
Maurice.
I have yet to find a method or combination that works to update the new white Dell Streaks from Best Buy to any working version other than 1.6. I resolved the issue I had by flashing the original baseband and stock software back to the device. I guess I'll be waiting until there's an official update for this thing. Wear90, I would suggest you flash the original back on it and wait. Trying to get anything else is a headache of incredible proportions. Just sayin'

I don't know how to make the ROM work, only how to replace it with a new one. So you need to replace it with a new one. You need to put the new ROM onto your SD Card. A good ROM could be Blay0's or CyanogenMod.
First of all, download a file called "R4 Legend Root" (you might need to Google this as I'm not allowed to post links) and extract it to "C:\R4-Legend-Root\"
Then connect your phone to your computer and boot into "Recovery Mode" where you should still have an exclamation mark on your screen.
If you use Windows (I hope you do because I only know the method for Windows ) Open up Command Prompt and then type in:
cd C:\R4-Legend-Root\
recovery-windows.bat
This should launch your phone into the Recovery area.
Look through the menu's and wipe your cache, Dalvik cache and files from your phone if needed.
Then go into the updater (something along the lines of this... It lets you install new ROM's...) and highlight the ROM from the SD Card.
Hope this helps,

Yes, i would try Blay0s ROM, the new Gingerbread ROM is only for experienced users.
If you get a question how to flash it, or how to overclock, only ask, and i will explain it you.
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
Just to know - whenever you get the exclamation mark trying to get to recovery mode just hold volume up an push power button . This will get you to the recovery . Chose " Apply sdcard : update.zip " from the menu and you are done
But you have to put a proper update.zip on the root of your card ( this you can do with your PC ) . My suggestion : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969076
EDIT
All this can be done even if you are on the go , no comp. needed ( just to search the update.zip (or any ROM) and to put it in your sdcard if you can't do it by mobile )
SD card

Hi guys. That's really good forum! I've found a lot of very useful info here. Maybe because of it have problems now
3tr, I've had exactly the same problem. The solution was found in the step1-windows.bat flashing. Even though the step2 couldn't have been done. But at least standard 2.1 O/S is running.
Afterwords there were problems with drivers - htcDIAG particulary. It was installed.
But it wasn't the end of my problems. Now SD card cannot be found in the device , HTC sync cannot see the phone as well. During the recovery mode, phone is not detected by recovery-windows.bat and there's a message in the Win 7 tray - "USB device is not recognised".
cd C:\R4-Legend-Root\
recovery-windows.bat
gives error: device not found.
Please, I'd really appreciate if somebody gave me any useful advise.
I need to make my phone to be able to see the SD card (currently it says, that the card was taken out)
Thanks!
Guys, please, help me with the problem ((( really stuck here
Sounds like an USB Brick, look here
Hi all,
Ok, so after attempting to root my device with the "Advanced Hack Kit / Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259821), I managed to do something wrong in the process.
While rooting, I managed to drop my phone so I restarted itself. It went directly to the HTC logo. Now when powering up the phone it gets stuck at the logo and won't go any further.
What I have tried:
- Recovery (VOL.DOWN+POWER): Nothing really happens here, except that it directs me to an red exclamation mark with a triangle around it.
- Android System Recovery(3e): Tried all the choices available, none of them worked. However, in the menu I see an error message saying: E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command. When trying "Apply sdcard;updatezip" it just get's the same error message + "E:signature verification failed. Installation aborted.
Other info:
- Phone: HTC Desire HD
- Rooting Tool: Advanced Hack Kit
- Radio: S-OFF (26.03.02.23M)
-
I'm really no expert, but it seems like I'm left without a ROM or ClockWork Recovery.
If anyone got some good tips on what I can do,please help me
Thanks in advance!
You have S-Off, it's good, that means, that AAHK have done the main part of job. You can continue it yourself. Put that in the root of sdcard, and reboot into bootloader (Volume Down + PWR). It will ask to update or not, agree with VOL Up. Then wait, it will install ClockWorkMod Recovery. When you have done, install any ROM you like.
