HTC Dream (G1) updating problem

i'm trying to do a manual update to firmware 1.5 US version, but it keep on giving me a no signature error....do i have to downgrade to RC29 first?
Phone Info:...
Model Number: HTC_Dream
Firmware version: 1.1
Baseband version: 62.33.20.08H_1.22.14.11
Kernel version: 2.6.25-01845-g85d4f0d [email protected]#27
Build number: 1.51.0.1 PLAT-1.0 126986 test-keys

Most likely its the update you downloaded.
Here you go:
http://android-roms.googlecode.com/files/signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip
Rename that to update.zip and put it on the root of your SD card. Then turn off the phone, turn it back on while holding Home and that should take you to recovery. Hit Alt-W to perform a wipe, then Alt-S to apply the update. Home + Back to reboot. Enjoy your Cupcake.

you are using a modified rom, so in order to use the ota t-mobile stock rom you will need to edit something in it and resign it with the test keys(search xda for android mod) after that you will be able to flash it. the t-mobile ota update is signed with the actual keys and you are using test keys, the stock recovery will not allow flashed from things without the actual key and the testkey recovery will not allow flashing of anything not signed with the test keys

i'm really new at this flashing and roms, care to explain in details? or step by step in how to do it?...i just want the 1.5 update.

Update to 2.3.6 and keep root

If you haven't already done so, install Rom Manager and flash Clockworkmod Recovery. It doesn't replace the actual recovery partition or the files that restore it so it won't affect flashing the update.
If you received an OTA notice don't flash it. You can go into /system/cache and copy it, or download it from the links in other threads. Place the update zip (no need to rename it) on the root of your sd card.
To install the update you must be fully stock (root is okay). That means any changed or deleted system files (including bootanimation.zip) will prevent the update from flashing. You will get a status 7 error. If you used Bloat Freezer you must defrost all before flashing the zip or it will error.
Also, have available whatever zip you used to root your Nexus one (i.e., su.zip or superboot, etc.) and put on the root of your sd card.
Once your system is back to stock reboot into CWM recovery and select flash zip from sd card. Then flash the 2.3.6 update file. Then DO NOT reboot yet. Now flash your root zip. After you have flashed both the udpate and the root zip you can reboot your phone. No need to wipe anything.
When your phone reboots you will have 2.3.6 and it will still be rooted. No bootloader gymnastics necessary.

I am using stock (almost) version of GRJ22 , but unfortunatelly I got the status 7 error when I tried to apply the update via clockworkmod recovery. I guess that's because I have already integrated some system apps into ROM using Titanium Backup.
So, if I flash stock vanilla GRJ22, then SU, then GRK39F (the incremental update) and finally SU again, won't that do the job??
Thanks..

Yes, that will do nicely. Just need to get back to GRJ22 stock before you can flash the udpate. The updater-script does an assert and checks the md5 checksum of every system file before it allows the update to flash. If it doesn't find all stock files or checksums don't match what it is looking for, you get a status 7 error and the line above will show which file it stopped on. So you can look at those messages and keep restoring files it wants (if only a few) without having to flash completely back to stock.

I guess that would take much time, as almost all of my google apps are integrated into ROM...so I will try to follow the procedure I wrote earlier and if that won't work, I will try a ready stock,rooted ROM (Fireb33 has done it already)..
thanks mate..

Why so complicated?
You can update to 2.3.6 AND keep root even much more simple:
1.) Update from OTA to 2.3.6 (and loose root).
2.) Flash Superboot from Madaco and get back root.
Done in 3 minutes.. No need to flash, recover, overwrite and/or whatever, no need for ADB, no messing:

Well, yep. That method indicates your (phones) bootloader is unlocked. But as it's the N1, unlocking the bootloader is just 19 (up to 25) characters away -> "fastboot(-linux) oem unlock".
Edit: By the way, i looked up that post from an android platform engineer:
Code:
groups.google.com/group/android-platform/msg/b7d83992dd92accb?dmode=source
The N1 is just made for that.

tried superboot but wifi down
I flashed the update for 2.3.6 and then superboot but my wifi gives an error when I try to turn it on.

New Superboot file for GRK39F?
Is there a new Superboot file for the new OTA update?

I want to update to gingerbread and looking for the proper guidance going forward. I've done some looking around the forums but i'm still unclear if i need to unroot or install a stock build, etc. What i know is the phone is rooted and sim unlocked. How can i check to see if the bootloader is open/locked?
Current specs:
android version 2.2.1
Baseband 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Kernal Version 2.6.35.9-cyanogenmod
Mod Version: Cyanogenmod-6.1.1-N1
Build: FRG83D
edit:
Please treat me like an idiot and walk me through this process. It's be utterly frustrating and I'm a stone's throw away from busting out my Nokia 3390 (equipped with led disco keypad).

If your bootloader is unlocked you will see an unlocked padlock on the boot up screen...

[I9020A][REF] All OTA and Available Full ROM Packages

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I HAVE CEASED UPDATING THIS THEAD.
The old information contained below will remain for posterity, but will no longer be updated. From this point forward, all updates to this information will be found at http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-s
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below is a list of all available OTA and full ROM packages for the Nexus S, model I9020A.
THIS IS FOR I9020A ONLY. IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER VARIANT, PLEASE FIND THE THREAD FOR YOUR VARIANT.
Typical disclaimer where I tell you that all of this stuff is at your own risk and I'm not responsible if you mess up your phone, yadda yadda.
These updates are 100% stock and are NOT rooted.
HOW TO FLASH
I'm not giving instructions on how to flash ZIP files. If you don't know how to do that, you probably shouldn't be looking for stuff in this thread. There are plenty of threads on how to flash zips through recovery. Do a little reading before proceeding.
The recovery-flashable full ROM packages will only flash if your phone has no ROM, any custom ROM, or a stock ROM that's older than the version you're trying to flash. For instance, the 2.3.6 full ROM package will flash over the stock 2.3.3 ROM, but not over the stock 4.0.4 ROM.
With fastboot images, you can flash any version over any other version.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I GET AN ERROR WHILE FLASHING?
If you get an error flashing a recovery-flashable full ROM package, it means that you are running a stock ROM that's newer than the version you're trying to flash. If you're trying to downgrade, then you must install ClockworkMod recovery, then wipe system, boot, data, cache, and Dalvik cache. You will then be able to flash the older version. Optionally, you can also flash fastboot images of a version older than the version you're trying to flash.
If you get an error flashing an incremental update, it means one of four things. Either you don't have an I9020A, you aren't running a stock ROM, you have changed something with your stock ROM (this includes build.prop changes, radio or bootloader changes as well), or you're running Android 4.X and trying to update manually. These incremental updates only work if you are running a completely, perfectly stock ROM exactly the way Google provides it, with the right radio and the right bootloader. There are no exceptions to this rule. Furthermore, Android 4.X ROMs can no longer be updated manually in stock recovery. See below.
A NOTE ABOUT ANDROID 4.X OTAs
Beginning with Ice Cream Sandwich, Google has made a change to stock recovery that prevents you from flashing future OTA updates manually. Instead you are now required to wait for the OTA notification on your phone and then tap "Reboot and Install."
If this pisses you off, you have the option of unlocking your bootloader, installing either a stock Gingerbread recovery or ClockworkMod recovery, and then flashing the OTA updates manually.
LATEST VERSION
The latest Android version available for I9020A is Ice Cream Sandwich version 4.0.4, build IMM76D.

FASTBOOT IMAGES
If you're comfortable with fastboot, you can flash these images to return your phone back to raw stock.
Generally the best way to do this is to perform the following steps:
Put all six fastboot images in one folder, unlock your bootloader, perform the fastboot flashes, then lock the bootloader:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img

INCREMENTAL UPDATES
The links provided here are to Google's official update package for each version. Sometimes Google provides a small incremental update package for upgrading between versions, other times they just provide full ROM packages for bigger version upgrades. For instance, Google pushed a small incremental update to upgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6. If your phone was running 2.3.3, there is no 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 incremental update, so Google would push the 2.3.6 full ROM package.
If you don't see an upgrade path from your version to your desired version, it means you need to use a full ROM package above instead.
Android 2.3.3 (Build GRI54/UCKB2 Radio/KA3 Bootloader)
2.3.3 -> 2.3.4 (GRJ22)
Android 2.3.4 (Build GRJ22/UCKD1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader)
2.3.4 (GRJ22) -> 2.3.6 (GRK39C)
2.3.4 (GRJ22) -> 2.3.6 (GRK39F)
Android 2.3.6 (Build GRK39C/UCKF1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader)
2.3.6 (GRK39C) -> 2.3.6 (GRK39F)

That's because the manufacturers are pushing it. We're waiting on Google.

I bought Nexus S thinking it was a great phone, because Google would update it really fast to ICS and whatever. But here is the downside:
If you want to contact HTC, Motorola, or your carrier to ask for a update, they at least have an email, something you can contact them for.
How can I contact Google?
How can I receive an ETA on this?

Yeah, that file has been missing for a while. You will probably need to flash the entire rom.

You mean incremental updates from Google? No, just use standard recovery. You only need a custom recovery if you are trying to downgrade with a rom older than your current version.

Thank you very much, I was able to update all three nexus s's in my home to 2.3.6 now if only I could find ICS I'd be a happy camperhttp://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

There is no ICS for the i9020a yet. You can install the T-mobile version and then flash the AT&T radio but you may just want to wait until it officially comes out which is hopefully soon.

There is no dangers with this? And would the battery be that bad with incremental update to 4.0.3?

Please read the first post. These are the updates directly from Google. No matter if you use the full or incremental update, you will end up with the same ROM in the end.

Why do you need GRI54? Is there some reason you need to run 2.3.3 instead of 2.3.6 or 4.0.3?

These are all official over-the-air updates from Google. Flashing any of these will not void your warranty, and they'll all unroot the device since they're stock.

The Android 4.0.3/IML74K is exactly the same file as for the i9020t right?

That's correct.

These are all official over-the-air updates from Google. Flashing any of these will not void your warranty, and they'll all unroot the device since they're stock.

Like if i flash this Android 2.3.6/GRK39F/XXKF1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader
So it will also get me back to stock device + ill get the warranty back? and they will never know about the device that it was ever rooted?..
Actually im new to android and im loving it, im a little confused about Radio thing.. like i currenty have XXKB3 and the firmware that is listed above ^ is having XXKF1, will this create any conflict? i mean if i have waited for OTA update from google, so i would have got the same update 2.3.6 with XXKF1 Radio? and it would also have the same build number GRK39F instead of GRI54?
Thanks

To be clear, you are not getting the warranty "back". You are tricking customer support into thinking you never voided your warranty by flashing a custom ROM. I hope you understand the difference.
Anyways, flashing any of the files in this thread will bring you back to stock. That means stock radio, bootloader and build. However, it will be still necessary to lock the bootloader (fastboot oem lock), otherwise it's pretty easy to see that you've tinkered with the device.
As for your second question, the builds above are the official builds from Google. If you have the i9023 (easily recognizable by the SLCD screen) these are the builds that you would get with OTA. Don't look at all the build/radio/bootloader names, they usually change with each new version.

I think I understand you are asking if you will still receive OTA updates after flashing any of the above files. If so, the answer is yes.
You will loose root by flashing any of the above, though.

Ok, 1 question. What if i flash 4.0.3, can i flash back to 2.3.6? Because i read somewhere that this could be tricky to do, you can mess up your phone. Is that true?

Yes you can flash back. You would have to unlock your bootloader (which will wipe all your data), and then install ClockworkMod recovery.
Go into CWM recovery, wipe data, cache (you MUST wipe data and cache if you're downgrading), wipe Dalvik, system and boot as well. Once you've done that, you can flash the full 2.3.6 ROM package from the original post.

Thanks for offering to help!! I'll PM you instructions later on.

original GRI54 ROM
First of all, thanks for this useful thread!
I'd also like to know how to grab the original stock ROM from my Nexus S (I9023, Android 2.3.3, GRI54) just in case I wanted to revert my phone back to its original state. I know 2.3.6 is better than 2.3.3 but maybe I will need it for any reason in the future. My problem is, that if I unlock the bootloader (in order to install Clockwork recovery), I will loose my current configuration (apps, settings, etc.) since the /data partition will be wiped. And the original stock recovery will also be gone once I install Clockwork.
So my question is: can I boot into Clockwork recovery without flashing it to the recovery partition in order to access its backup feature, so that I can make a full backup of my original (current) system? Of course, the bootloader is still locked, so the real question is whether I can use a command like this with a locked bootloader:
fastboot boot recovery.img
I think it should work because this won't modify the system since I only boot the custom recovery.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] update bootlader - question

for the purpose of dualbooting ParanoidAndroid & Ubuntu using MultiRom.
I read that it is recomended to update your bootloader to at least version 4.13 to avoid potential problems.
I need some basic information about the bootloader that I could not find by "google-ing".
I am currently running:
ParanoidAndroid 4.1.1 & would like to keep it as it is.
bootloader version 3.34
TWRP version 2.4.1.0
My Question is:
If I extract bootloader-grouper-4.18.img from the 4.2.2 Factory Image & flash it to my Nexus 7, will that work?
Will it leave my current installation of ParanoidAndroid as is & be able to boot it? Or will it cause some sort of problem?
thanks in advance

You can update your bootloader with the image that you have extracted without problems. Flash it with fastboot.
