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.

i am a newbie please help.
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.

Than its a hardware problem
The buttons are broken
You can try take it apart and look inside, but it sounds like it's totalled.
thats what we decided last night also. Thanks for the help
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

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

have you configured your network orange in APN ?
Sorry I'm French
I have a problem with one phone and I found it on the site
There is just a mistake, we must put the sim card in the phone
"androidforums.com/g1-support/6564-activate-stock-g1-over-wifi.html"
I'm pretty sure I have these items in the correct order to "Permaroot" my MT4G and begin using Clockworkmod to load ROMs (and or/also want to be able to back up my default ROM)
My current attempts:
Downloaded and installed: VISIONary, from android.modaco.com, sorry I can't post actual links (VISIONary+, most recent version) was no longer avalible in the market so I had to install it from the URL)
Downloaded and installed "Clockwordmod" from the Market.
Put the phone into USB-Debugging mod, and disabled fast boot.
VISIONary+ question: I setup TEMPROOT, and "Root on Boot", assuming I would than be able to boot into "Recovery mode" via "Clockworkmod"
The phone reboots, and I'm assuming that would boot into "Root" **Root on boot** (Yes I know the temp. should fail after a reboot, but I thought, I'll stay away from "Permaroot" for now). However, I don't get to any sort of recovery mode, instead I get a screen with a triangle and exclamation in red, and that's it, it just hangs there, I'm thinking that this is just USB-Debugging, and I'm not achieving recovery mode, so this must be the result of not booting into a root mode.
Going back to VISIONary+, I attempt to "Permaroot", the phone's homescreen goes blank and nothing happens. The phone eventually turns itself off but doesn't reboot, subsequently, I must restart it manually, again, I'm not sure if I've achieved anything?
Advice, suggestions? Would be very appreciated.
Questions that might explain what's wrong?
Even in USB-Debugging mode, should I be connected to a PC via USB-Cable during all of this?
Any thoughts on why the PERMAROOT fails, or the "Root on boot" fails to get me to "Recovery mode"?
Last thing, I get a complaint from "Clockworkmod" when loading, that my SD Card must be mounted (which I'm assuming it isn't due to USB-Debugging mode and/or being connected to the PC) So should I get a good charge and disconnect from the PC while attempting all this? Fixed, disconnected USB-Cable, and mounted SD card in settings, this stopped this error
Also, I'm interested in backing up my default ROM ASAP as a safety-net in-case I screw something up. Is this possible via recovery mode in "Clockworkmod"? Links to advice on doing this?
Thanks everyone! Great board!
you should follow this as it worked for me flawlessly

I followed it exactly but I still get the Red Exclamation Point. I have rooted my phone s-off and I have superuser and rom manager. I did the Flash Clockwork Recovery but when I reboot into recovery I get Red Exclamation Point then when I click vol up and power the next says " E:Can't open /cashe/recovery/command " What should I do??

You can NOT flash clockwork without S-OFF and the red triangle is recovery. It is stock recovery if you press volup+power you will see the menu
S is off I rooted my phone using the terminal Emulator and that worked fine
When I press upvol and power I see
Reboot system now
Apply sdcard:update.zip
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cashe partition
E:Can't open /cashe/recovery/command
This is what my screen shows when I try to go into recovery and again my phone is rooted s-off and I use superuser
Try flashing the recovery again... for some reason people have reported it not sticking... just go back and flash it like 2 or 3 times then reboot
I found out the problem it was so easy but I never would of thought of checking but my wife said maybe my Rom Manager is a bad copy (because I get all my apps from a not so honest site) so I deleted my RM and downloaded the freebie on the market and it worked on the first try.....Now I have Glacier Rom running and I feel like a new man

Monologue..? but well done, after all
I want to update my HTC using ROM Manager. I (somehow) found a still working version for Android 1.6. It can flash Clockworkmod Recovery but when I press 'Download Rom' a screen pops up and says that I have to update ROM Manager. However since I'm still using Android 1.6 on my Tattoo I can't update ROM Manager anymore (right now I`m using ROM Manager 4.4.0.7 and ROM Manager 5.x needs Android 2.2 atleast). When I choose 'Download from SD-card', I can choose the .zip file (which I've placed in the root folder), select the pre-installation settings but then (right before the actual installation I guess) the phone shuts down and a phone and an exclamation mark appears and it stays that way (I left it like that for about 15 minutes and no response what so ever).Then I have to remove the battery to put it back on and it just starts up like nothing ever happened.
My phone is rooted (I used Universal Androot) and ROM Manager has SU access.
Before someone comes along saying Gold card or do it manually: my almost 10 year old computer won't make USB connection with the phone, however I can access all the files on my phone using a FTP server.
Can anyone help me?
If you need more info about my phone just ask!
How sure are you that you have clockwork mod recovery??
Did you ever boot in to recovery. (power off your phone and press home + power button)
When you boot in to recovery if you see a traingle with phone and exclamation mark, you have stock recovery.
"an exclamation mark appears and it stays that way"
As per above comment, you don't have CWM recovery.

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.
