I was rooting a G1 and was flashing the latest radio 2.22.23.02. with RA dream 1.7.0. It went through its paces:
flash-> reboot (home+back)->does it’s own thing -> boots back into recovery screen & then hangs on “formatting cache…” (at bottom of recovery screen)
It hangs up on G1 screen but will go into recovery. I’ve gone back and wiped everything, flashed (radio) from 2 different fresh sd cards, etc, etc…nada
Anything I can do? Un-root it? Re-flash recovery rom?
Thanks P-
if the phone will not boot normally but will go in to recovery, why not wipe it and flash a ROM?

The good news is that the radio flashed successfully and you're NOT bricked.
The process goes like this:
From recovery, you SET UP your cache partition to store the radio image and set the misc partition to initiate the flashing process. It then reboots into update-radio mode, flashes the radio, and configures the misc partition to format the cache. It then does that, and theoretically, you're done.
Something screwed up in your format cache. NOT THE END OF THE WORLD!
What you've got to do is STOP flashing the radio! Its already flashed, it will either WORK or NOT WORK. There IS no IN BETWEEN.
Now recovery obviously isn't working for you, so what we need to do is this: Use FASTBOOT. WHAT SPL do you have installed? Is it a 0.95.3000 or a 1.33.2xxx? If it is, then you reboot into fastboot, perform a "fastboot -w system", and then a "fastboot update signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-img-14721.zip" (which you can download from developer.htc.com/adp.html). This will put your phone into a WORKING STOCK ADP1 state (which has root).
The instructions are all on the htc site at that link.
AND FINALLY:
DO NOT EVER UNROOT IT!!!!
You have root now, there is ABSOLUTELY NO reason to EVER "unroot" it. DO NOT EVER (no matter WHAT any RETARD ever says) write an NBH file to the thing.
If you do NOT have a fastboot SPL, then install one first.... I recommend 1.33.2003 which you can find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6510019&postcount=76

As far as the SPL, on the FASTBOOT screen I have an “hroot 1.33.2995”(?). I flashed a generic G1-SPL over the bad radio install (WTF) and may have flashed Danger SPL. I don’t know how to tell if either took.

Can this cause any turmoil with Danger-SPL (if I flashed it)? Could either SPL have taken with the radio half installed or in a dubious state and are they a game changer if they did? The FASTBOOT screen idicates the "radio 2.22.23.02" i was trying to install, as if it took(?)

Thanks for the link, I’ve used adb and a little linux in the past but am new to FASTBOOT. The basics look a little familiar.
If any of my concerns regarding my SPL status, please do. And please elaborate if you can.
Thanks again for the direction.
PK
You're actually looking very good in most regards.
Yes, the radio flash took successfully -- of this there is no doubt. If it didn't, your phone wouldn't even turn on, it would be completely dead.
As for the SPL, you said "hroot 1.33.2995" -- I believe that you mean "hboot 1.33.2005", right? That being the case, you are actually in a VERY strong place! You have a *proper* engineering SPL installed (not the one I would pick, but a good one nevertheless... and yes, it is the infamous deathspl.)
The problem is that the thing is failing to format your cache partition and it is probably not getting to the point of clearing your misc partition.
NO PROBLEM.
In fact, you say that you are able to navigate the recovery despite the format cache failing. This is a VERY good thing! It makes thing a bit easier.
I actually just thought of something....
You say that it just keeps automatically going into recovery when you turn it on.... the SPL is designed to do that in TWO circumstances; 1) When the boot-recovery command is set in the misc partition, (2) When the BOOT partition is empty or corrupt. I assume that (1) doesn't apply since it appears that recovery IS WORKING.... which leaves (2)....
Have you tried to simply flash a ROM to the thing? I mean it. Sounds simple? Yes. Try to JUST FLASH A ROM! Put CM5.0.8's update.zip onto your sdcard and FLASH IT! See what happens. Can't hurt. If it doesn't change anything, then we just need to go back and force clean the misc partition.
Hello Ibcoder,
Thanks a lot for the follow up. I hope this prob. Is still enough of a challenge to keep you interested. Before I take the plunge I just want to clarify a few points: (I’ll guess it doesn’t matter but…):

Yes, at least this is indicated in the bootloader screen…corrupt or not (the lingering "formatting cache..." when I was flashing the radio).

Actually it boots into the “G1” screen but just hangs there. However, with the usual button combinations, I can boot into recovery and the bootloader screens, navigate around and execute stuff. Does that still sound like a corrupt partition? does it matter?

Quit stalling and do it already! Nothing important is corrupt -- if it was, it wouldn't do ANYTHING.
You installed an SPL that changed the partition mapping so that the END of the system partition is further ahead, BOTH ends of the cache partition are in different places, and the start of the userdata partition is back further. OF COURSE IT WON'T BOOT!

ALL SPLs are compatible with ALL ROMs, NO EXCEPTIONS!
This is DESPITE what is claimed by the majority of those who are technically inept.
It worked. CM 5.08
Thank you
Sorry for taking your time. I’ve done lots of roots and rom flashes with out a hitch. I’ve heard though, (after the fact) that if you screw up your radio or SPL flash you have a brick. Got me thinkn', with my symptoms, I might be on my way to one (a brick).
Thanks again much, much for all your trouble,
PK
and as a follow up, i tried flashing the same radio on an HTC T mobile G1 it kinda got stuck on the formatting cache screen too, but I can still access the recovery menu, in fact it got stuck on the recovery menu saying at the bottm "formatting cache" so I decided that I just reboot using the menu screen of the recovery and then it went through the usual booting process and I checked it so there it was the radio was updated, still have not reflashed the rom or anything won't it affect the rom flashing in anyway?
From My experience you should be able to flash your rom (can't be responsible if it bricks).
PK
Flash the Rom. Wont brick it. Same happened to me on 2 different phones. It's ok

That's what happened to me to yesterday night after flashing the DangerSPL. Although I was able to access to the recovery image, so all I did was to flash over the room. Hope that will work for u too..
Call me a n00b, whatever. I am interested in testing a different radio on my Nexus S i9020a. I have recently noticed terrible download and upload speeds over 3G on my device since upgrading to Android 2.3.4.
My device is not rooted, and if this is a requirement to flash the new radio, then I will not do it. But my question is, can somebody guide me through the process step by step?
get fastboot (and adb while you're at it) working, then power of an boot into fastboot (or "adb reboot bootloader"), then:
"fastboot flash radio radio.img"
either "fastboot reboot" or just scroll down to reboot in the fastboot menu.

You need to set up adb, you will also need to have Java jdk in order to set up adb. You will also need to have to have the correct drivers installed on your computer in order for it to communicate with your phone. IMO you might as well root your phone if your going to set up adb lol its the hardest part. Good luck. Btw Google is your friend, read read and read so you wont end up bricking your device.

Hey, thanks man. My NS took a turn for the worst. I think I corrupted the memory as I could no longer write to the internal memory and the phone wouldn't get past the google splash screen. I spent a while thinking I could fix it (ODIN etc.) but finally gave up and sent it back to Samsung. They replaced the PBA (Printed Board Assembly), free of charge. I should be getting it back in the mail any day now. Can't wait, I've been stuck with my g1 for weeks now.
My 3g/mobile data is also guffed since the 2.3.4 upgrade and I'm going to revert the radio back.
I dunno if I'm being stupid but I can't seem to find any radio images anywhere...can someone point me to them please?

I just re-read your first post and I don't think you can flash a different radio if you are not rooted (could be wrong though). Honestly, flashing a radio has much higher risk than rooting your phone (but still low risk as long as you check the md5 on the radio image you download and you don't pull the battery during a radio flash).
If you choose to root, this is a good guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895545

I have the SDK installed and what not. But where do I go from there. Is there a way to root with stock recovery? Or just applyt the radio image without rooting in recovery mode with unlocking bootloader?

Fastboot or Clockwork Recovery is mandatory.
If you want to use stock + a radio. You can try renaming the .zip to update.zip and applying update.zip from stock Recovery but I'm not 100% sure if that would work.
best bet is to use fastboot or clockwork recovery.
Btw if you flash clockwork only once than it will not stick, than you can flash a new radio while still having stock recovery if that's you're jive.

If your boot loader is the patched version, I believe when you boot the tab at the Acer screen, you will see a custom boot loader message in the upper left corner.
At least on mine it does. You also can probably check your boot loader version number by starting Acer recovery installer from the market.

Well, the issue would be what specific roms. If you decide to flash AOKP... also known as Kang, you should contact them via twitter, as they request.
The issue, is that nobody knows what is compatible with their rom. Considering Kang (AOKP) takes little bits from many sources, and compiles their code and claims it as their own, the chances if it is compatible with your tablet, is basically unknown. Even they don't know. Hence the lack of support.
If you were using some of the posted roms, then most knowledgeable users would help.

If you run the Acer Recovery Installer, you can see which bootloader version you have. Also, when you boot the tab, you should see the "custom" bootloader text in the upper left corner. On mine, it does.
If you do not, then you may have the stock HC bootloader. In this case, you have to be careful on what rom you are trying to install, as some require different boot.img (kernel) based on what bootloader you currently have.
Find which version bootloader you are running, and we can be more helpful in directing you to specific roms. Dont flash anything else, just the specific rom. Follow his instructions.
EDIT: I see you are running the patched version
With the patched version, you should at least be able to run Civato's rom. Note he has 2 versions. 1 for patched HC kernel, and 1 for patched ICS bootloader. You would want to run the one for the patched ICS bootloader. Dont flash anything else, just the specific rom. Follow his instructions.

Yes it is. So like I say, be careful what rom you install.
Actually, I NV flashed the patched bootloader and recovery the other day. Mostly because I blew away my internal memory installing the new 501 4 part leak. But all is ok now.
As with your GApps, you can get the zip file from TegraOwners, or Google it, then extract the apk files, copy them to your internal memory, then install them through a file manager.

thank you again sir, youre quite awesome!
So it has been reported that GE HTC One's are shipping. We would like to get all the paritions dumped so that we can use the images to fully convert our normal Ones into full fledged Google Edition Ones.
Before you do ANYTHING with it (before you root, before you flash a recovery etc...) Follow these directions courtesy of cschmitt Found Here This will ensure we get all the partitions
I have pasted the steps below. This will help the community out greatly!
cschmitt said:
I have a windows command script that uses adb to dump and pull every partition from a One, excluding cache (meaningless) and userdata (to large).
He would need adb and fastboot on his computer, no need for S-off, since we are only reading partitions.
Generally the process would be:
Enable USB Developer options and USB debugging on phone.
Connect phone to usb, install drivers from zip folder if prompted.
Copy SuperSU-v1.41.zip to sd card.
Reboot into bootloader. (Power off, hold power on an vol-down.)
Open command prompt into \htconedump folder.
Unlock bootloader, fastboot oem unlock should do it.
Reboot back into bootloader (via hboot menu.)
From command prompt:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.img (Take note we are not flashing recovery, just booting into it so we can root. If you flash the recovery we will not be able to get the stock GE recovery pulled)
Once TWRP boots, flash SuperSU-v1.41.zip via TWRP to root device.
Reboot back into system.
Run pullmmc01-37.cmd command script from a windows command prompt.
Zip up the dump directory containing all of the mmcblk0p??.bin files.
I've packaged everything up into a zip file containing ADB, fastboot, HTC drivers, superuser.zip, TWRP image, and the pullmmc01-37.cmd command script.
htconedump.zip"

Also make sure to take note of your CID in the bootloader and also report that in this thread. You can get this by running fastboot getvar all while in the bootloader. The MID and the CID will be listed. Please make note of both.
I would advise anyone doing it that they do it without fully setting up the phone because once you unlock the bootloader it will wipe your data. So boot into android and just skip through the whole set up process because you'll just have to do it again after you unlock the bootloader
EDIT: Got this info from the Dump thread on Android Central. Just need to confirm it's correct with someone who has the device
ro.product.name=m7_google
cid=GOOGL001
mid=PN0712000
cidlist=GOOGL001

We have the system and the boot.img but for us to do a full conversation we need the bootloader, the recovery etc.. Sure, we can all run the rom now but if we get ALL the partitions dumped we can essentially convert our normal ones into full fledged google editions (I think if we had just the bootloader and the recovery we would be ok)
Have you asked Mike?
we would need the 4.3 system dump

Mike used the same dump everyone has been using. It was only system and boot not the bootloader or recovery. The guy who did the dump flashed a custom recovery before he did the dump so we did not get the stock GE recovery which is needed if we want a full conversion and be able to get OTA's just like the GE One would get.

Yeah here is to wishing they ship with 4.3 lol
The idea here is not for us to be able to run the rom but to fully do a conversion. As of now we have the 4.2.2 rom and boot image. I have two ones and I want to fully convert one to a GE. I know others are interested in performing a full conversion as well. And if we do the full conversion when the 4.3 OTA drops we would get it as an OTA and not have to wait for other devs to package it all up for everyone

Ok. I assumed that, due to the delay in Mike releasing his GE rom, that he had perhaps acquired his own information.
If anybody lives in the viscinity of Old York City, struggling to dump the required information, I could offer the same service as you have for those near New York City........Highly unlikely I guess.
I am very interested in trying this out.

Hey! I remember you! Didn't you use one of my roms at one time(Either on the HTC View or GS3)? If I remember correctly you're also from NY?
This is a great idea. If not for the missing T-Mobile LTE band I would have bought the GE. I hope you get what you need. Would probably cure my Flashaholics disease too, if you're always up to date with the latest and greatest.

I look forward to what the devs cook up in the ROM kitchen. I am very keen to try out the GE ROM's but I would also like HTC to just offer up the option for DE to get it now and to allow anyone to flash it if they want.
I am also interested in converting my s4 gt-9505 into a full google edition s4 with OTA.

Are you going to try to dump the partitions? If so, I would advise anyone doing it that they do it without fully setting up the phone because once you unlock the bootloader it will wipe your data. So boot into android and just skip through the whole set up process because you'll just have to do it again after you unlock the bootloader

thx for taking a look on my Problem
3month old note 3 no root, stock Rom, 3months no Problems,
was last week outside and i guess i was low on battery it was off as i had it in Hand
was loading all the evening and the battery is fully green
it starts, i can see mi logo, it changes to Android with loading dots at the Bottom and then it goes off
tried several times
fastboot is available
and main menu with reboot/wipe data/connect with mi assistant
i already tried:
wipe data - finished with ok (all my data gone) but still same issue
connect with mi assistant - no connecttion to Software
someone any ideas - thanks for any help

Since you already lost your data, try to flash the ROM again. I don't remember if you can transfer/flash the stock ROM without an unlocked bootloader (I suppose it is locked), if you can at least dirty install it as an update it may work too (google it). Unfortunately, providing more information over unlocking the phone is inappropriate.

can u pm me please?
u are the onle one who relied to my post

Since your bootloader is locked, your options are limited.
To expand a little what i mentioned, your best try it may be to try and update the current from from the stock recovery. That may fix a potential corrupted partition. To do so, you can follow the steps of method 2 in this article. However, I am not aware if you can transfer the update.zip in the phone... I suppose that the stock recovery doesn't mount the phone to the PC. Thus, you probably need to try and transfer if through fastboot but that may not be possible too (could check if adb push works or if you can boot a twrp recovery, not flash just boot, but you probably wont be able)...
If you can't do the above steps, you are in a half-brick mode right now with a locked bootloader. Generally, there is no official way to get around this.
