I have bricked my G1 by following the below "guide"!
1. Loading the original SPL (Original SPL Download)
2. Downgrading your phone to RC29 ( Download Dream RC29 )
Before we start:
Check you have the downloaded files (SPL and RC29 files)
Check that your battery is fully loaded
Let’s start: First Part:
1. The SPL you downloaded, rename it to update.zip (If not already the name of the file)
2. Copy the file to the Root of your SD card.
3. Reboot the phone into recovery mode (This is done by “Power + Home” for several seconds)
If you have Amon-Ra Recovery, use the 3 option in the menu to flash the update.zip file
You can also update using “ALT+S“, and it will also update the update.zip file.
Second part:
1. Unzip the DREAMIMG-RC29 you downloaded before, “DREAIMG.nbh” (This is case sensitive, so respect the case in the file name”).
2. Copy the File to the root of your SD card
3. Turn off your phone
4. Turn on the phone into boot loader mode by pressing “Power + Camera” for several seconds.
5. After it’s up, hit power button to start the update.
6. After the upgrade is finish, restart your phone.
Here is what I did:
I downloaded both files put them at the same time on my sdcard and renamed the SPL file update.zip
I then went into clockworkmod recovery and applied sdcard update.
When this was installed I rebooted and then an android and a white box with a yellow arrow appeared.
The G1 then went into a boot loop and was stuck on the T-Mobile screen.
Rebooting into the bootloader is different now too, there seems to be no image.
Is this phone now ready to be binned?

hhhmmm.... it could be several things- The good news is that it looks like you are back to the stock hboot.
It looks like you are in Europe, so I think there is a slightly different version of the DREAMG.nbh file for the European G1. I think it's RC7, but I've never flashed it. If you have a US G1, then this probably doesn't apply.
http://koushikdutta.blurryfox.com/G1/DREAMIMG-RC7.zip
Here's the MD5 hash for the nbh file itself, not the zip. I calculated this from my version, since the original hash is buried somewhere on XDA.
MD5(DREAIMG.NBH)= 2f02dd9a3b7c7f2fe058047b9c7a0245
Oh, I hope thats good news!?!
I have downloaded the Rc7 file and put on the sd card.
What now?
Do I need to rename the file? Do a special boot sequence?
I have tried to flash the file via CWM but there is no change.
Thanks for your help
The RC7 file contains the DREAMIMG.nbh file. You should unzip it and verify the md5 hash, then place the DREAMIMG.nbh file on the root of the SD card and follow the "second part" from your guide.
I'm not sure if the NBH vs nbh will matter, but give it a try.
You Sir are a genius!!
Thank you so much for your help!
I put the RC7 file onto my SDcard (after opening up the zip folder and copying over the DREAMIMG.NBH file).
Next I rebooted to the red green and blue bootloader screen (powered off and then pressed power on and camera button together - HOLD). The image was then recognised by the G1 and it loaded up the progress bar. After installation was complete I pressed the trackball and then removed the battery and powered up the G1 one).
As the phone was previously unlocked from T-Mobile and I am on the Vodafone UK network I had to add the below APN settings before being able to sign into the Google Servers and thus use the phone.

Awesome! I'm glad it worked out and another G1 was spared from the trash bin.
So chuffed, you have spared the G1 from the trash can!
I might keep it as standard now after all this agro!
I bought the G1 to basically add to a collection and it wont be used much.
In your personal opinion, is it necessary to root the G1 or is standard sufficient?
Also, I notice I am now back to firmware 1.0, what is the latest stock firmware for this phone and how easy is it to install?
Forgive me, my G1 knowledge is poor!
As far as stock or rooted, it depends on what you want to do with it. If you want to turn it into a mobile hotspot, I think you would have to root. I just keep mine around for flashing and testing android stuff and a backup phone.
I think there are OTA files that will take it to cupcake (1.5) or donut (1.6), although I'm not sure if they will work with the UK version? It's been so long that I'd have to think about how to flash the OTAs. You might have to dig into the archives of xda to find them, but watch out for the US/UK.
The custom roms are up to gingerbread, but I haven't tried those on my G1 so I can't speak to that.
You could make a rooted stock rom...
I am going to keep it stock for the time being.
I have just tried to get 1.6 Donut but I have to have 1.5 Cupcake on the G1 before I do.
I am now running 1.5 Cupcake but when I try and apply the update.zip for 1.6 Donut I get the below error.
Have you seen this before?
The 1.6 donut upgrade has a few things it checks to make sure it's not being flashed over the wrong rom since it just patches the existing rom. It's very strict, and in your case, it looks like you are applying a US donut over a UK cupcake, although it's hard to tell from just that bit.
You might get more info if you can pull the recovery log. If you are rooted, it should be in /cache/recovery/log or last_log. You can compare it to your ro.build.fingerprint in your system/build.prop file. My guess is all the "tmobile" are "tmuk" and the "kila" are "kila_uk". In which case, you'll need to find the uk donut OTA. You might be able to flash a complete US donut rom, but I don't know what the differences are between US/UK.

These might be the uk roms-
http://code.google.com/p/official-android-firmware/downloads/list
Ok, well that didn't last long.
I used the link you sent me but still couldn't get 1.6 flashed, so I rooted it again and loaded a developer version of 1.6 on!
Thanks for your guidance, much appreciated

Hi everyone,
I bought my HTC Hero in Moscow and it came without the android market. How can I resolve that??
Thanks in advance.
guess this is already solved in these forums, search for market enabler
use the forum search in future
Thanks for the info, but I think you did not get it right. The phone does not have at all the market application. The market enabler as I understand enables somehow the connection. I dont have the application itself to even start it.
We are in the same boat. It appears that certain HTC Hero in certain countries don't have Market app (afaik Malaysia, Vietnam). Market is replaced by SlideME's SAM.
I'm from Malaysia, own the phone and I can confirm there is no Market in Malaysian Hero.
hmm, then i suggest you to try to install for example the original htc rom or a custom rom like modaco.. if you want to have it "original" i would recommend the original "clear" htc rom..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622
edit: i think the problem is, that the market is bound to your country/region.. i dont know what happens if you install an wwe htc rom on your phone, but you should give it a try ;-)
Kyrillos,
You can enable SAM by looking for it's installer at the right page of you center scene Else, look for SAM in your bookmarks.
Is it possible to have Android Market by downloading it's apk? Or is the Market embedded to the phone which subsequently make it impossible to have Market in the 'less fortunate' Hero?
felikz,
I tried, but the update failed with this error:

I guess the only way is to root the phone and flash it with another ROM. I have two years warranty and the distributor in my country said if I mod the software of the phone, it'll void the warranty :-(
It's either make or break for me.
Bro Geochelone, I oso bot the HERO 3 days ago and were quite sad that Malaysia's version doesn't come with Android Mkt. I think we missed out a lot.
Tried Slide Me, not much application I think as compare to Apps Store...
Did you enjoy the phone?
asdf8888, I flashed my ROM with the latest WWE update, now I have Market

hey bro can teach me or guide me how to do that? totally new to android phone so hope you can bear with me
thanks in advance
asdf8888,
You can start here. In the article, they specifically suggest to use Linda File Manager, which is not available from SAM. Fortunately, you can use OI File manager.
There's also an update for flashrec, available here.
To load the WWE ROM, you can follow this. Instead of MoDaCo, replace it with official ROM which is available here. Pick the generic one
If you are not sure, ask. I'm more than happy to help
Dear Geochelone, sorry to disturb during the holiday period. But i still cannot accomplish what u have tot me.
1. I have install the OI File Manager
2. i have updated with flashrec, as instructed
3. I copy the WWE ROM into my SD card, i try to restart it by pressing (MENU + ON) button together; and everytime i do that, it hang and i need to remove the battery and try it again.
which steps did i go wrong...
please help... the helpless
sorry bro to disturb u during thius holiday period. I try by doing the following;
1. I downloaded the OI File Manager into the phone;
2. Updated the flashrec
3. Copied tthe WWE ROM into the SD card, and then try to on the phone by pressing the ON + MENU button together. Each time i do that, the phone will hang and i need to remove the battery and retry it.
what have i done wrong....
pls help bro, really wanted to give up oredi...
sorry to bother u again...
which ROM u are using, i have try i think all of them and the message is the same as your in your previous post date 18 sept.
i have downloaded the OI File Manager and oso updated the flashrec....
still cannot.
really sad unable the enjoy the devise...
pls guide me... thanks
Sorry I missed the this particular thread completely :-(
OK. I specifically picked this.
You missed the most important step Flashing the recovery image.
1. Install OI File Manager.
2. Put the flashrec into your sdcard.
3. Put this ROM into you sdcard. You may want to rename it to update.zip before you transfer it to sdcard.
4. Put this recovery image into your sdcard.
5. With the file manager, browse your sdcard and install flashrec.
6. If you haven't done it, rename update-hero-generic-2.73.405.5-rooted-signed.zip to update.zip with the file manager.
7. Open flashrec, click backup (the last button of the program). Wait.
8. At the box, type sdcard/Recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.2.img, then click the button just below the box. Wait.
9. Now you flashed your Hero with recovery image. Turn off your Hero.
10. Hold POWER and HOME simultaneously. You will enter Android system recovery.
11. Choose Wipe data/factory reset. I ASSUME YOU ALREADY MADE YOUR BACKUP. Else, choose Reboot system now and do your backup.
12. After wipe, choose Apply sdcard:update.zip. Wait.
13. Choose Reboot system now.
14. Smile as your Hero is rooted. Watch it boots and gives you the Market
bro thanks a lot, finally I got my Market, and now starting to enjoy the phone.
You are simply the best.... really thanks a lot, even the person who sold me the phone was not able to help me.
cheers, happy holiday
I'm happy for you
BTW, where you from sir?

Hi,
I had to get my x10 replaced, and i was wondering how i could brand it back to the rogers firmware, i debranded it using the x10a file posted by lollyhost100.
I backed up the rogers file, and i tried to brand it back with the firmware, but iget an error message how the firmware could not be donwloaded, if anyone can help me with this asap, it would be greatly appreciated
thank you
EDIT: NVM guys, i figured it out
and how did you accomplish the task......just curious for future information
You said you figure it out, HOW did you do it? Please tell us. Thanks
I debranded mine as well. It was easy enough but now I'm missing all the correct APN for the x10. I Googled for Rogers APN and looked everywhere. Unfortunately they don't seem to be the same ones I had on my phone originally. The ones I found are very slow compared to what is on when it ships.
Would someone on Rogers with the x10 kindly post all of his APN settings. You will need them too in order to connect to the correct data stream.
Here's a link on debranding: xperiax10.net/2010/04/14/debrand-your-xperia-x10-tutorial/
Again, please post all of your settings before you do it. Thanks!
Here are the settings I had on my stock Rogers firmware:
Name: Rogers Internet
APN: rogers-core-appl1.apn
Proxy: Not Set
Port: Not Set
Username: Not Set

Thanks, that helps a ton. These settings are very different than what I found on Google. My phone is almost back to normal.
Were there any other settings? Unfortunately I won't be able to check them myself until I am able to revert. Seems the OP has succeeded somehow but I am still stuck. I tried a different method but Sony's servers seem kinda screwy right now.
i followed lollyhost100 steps posted on estato, but i used sony ericsson update service to brand back, it worked for me
firstly i connected my phone, opened sony ericsson update service, reinstalled my firmware, and yes it will stil be debranded but yeh, after that i copied my rogers file into the sony ericsson update folder located in C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Sony Ericsson\\Update Service\\db\\13740270\\blob_fs
and opened up the sony ericsson update service, selected the x10 model, and searched for a new update, and it will tell u there is no update available, and an exit or back button appears, but beside it is a button that says install or reinstall soemthing like that, and it started to install the rogers firmware back on the device and it worked
i really dont know how it worked, i guess i got lucky or something, but thats all i did, use sony ericsson update service, not pc companion and give it a shot

how did u reinstall the firmware using SEUS? where's that option?
Yea it's weird. I tried that but it doesn't have an option for me to reinstall firmware. It's pissing me off! lol
did u have the same version as me ?
that was 2.10.4.22
yea it is.. did you install SEUS like brand new when you did it? Or did you use SEUS before?
yup 2.10.4.22
after i select x10 the only option i got is next and it tells me to turn off the phone pull battery out blah blah that's it
Could it be that if we disconnect our internet when we hold the back button/plug in, it wouldn't check the internet and allow us to reflash with the files on computer?
it just showed up, can you post a screenshot of what you get once you check for updates using SEUS?
yeh follow the guide, and put ur phoine into the update mode or whatever you call it, and i used SEUS for the first time when i did this

i was connected to the internet, it just completely skipped the download step for me, i dont know why, it prolly recognized the files in the folder, but close SEUS, and copy your rogers file into the folder, and this will overwrite the other 2 files
For me, i had to change the name of my rogers file to the files found in the folder, this is prolly because i reinstalled the Generic x10a firmware using SEUS first before i copied my files

thats strange i never got that message, is this the message your getting when you replaced the files in the folder with the rogers files ?
Nope, it's the message for trying to reinstall the unbranded firmware...
hmm try putting the rogers files into the folder and trying, maybe that will make a difference
but backup the files in the original folder
Same software version. No button other than exit.
This is step by step how to install ClockworkMod (or at least how I did it). I noticed nobody else really had a detailed step by step for noobs...so here you go
I do not take any credit for the development of CWMod. I just take credit for the guide XD
If this does something bad to you or your device it's your fault. I take no responsibility for anything, any damage to you, your property, or anyone.
You will need...
A micro SD card (and a way to get files onto it)
Patience
to be willing to void your warranty
Step 1.
Download ClockworkMod v08 (This version has been found to work best...the newer version causes some issues with some ROMs.)
The file needed is cwmod_v08.zip and can be found at the bottom of this post.
Step 2.
Unzip the downloaded file to your microSD card. Your microSD card should contain a folder called recovery, and a file named update.zip. (This cannot be done using the internal memory with this download.)
(For those wondering, I already updated the file to point to the microSD card rather than the internal storage to reduce the steps needed.)
Step 3.
Turn off your device.
Step 4.
Press the power button and the Volume+ button at the same time and release them when the Viewsonic splash screen pops up. You should see "Detect a recovery key pressed" pop up in the upper left corner of the screen.
Step 5.
Watch it install. Your tablet will reboot when installation is complete.
If you want to get into ClockworkMod you need to shut down your device, then press the Power and Volume+ button (the same way you did to install CWMod).
Vol+ and Vol- are to scroll up and down, the home button selects an option, and the back option backs up.
Many thanks to all the contributors for making this forum kickazz
Good post! It's nice to see all of the contributions people are making to this thread. I know it's a drag but reading these post and then reading them AGAIN has gotten me over my noob fear of totally bricking my unit.
By CAREFULLY reading the forums my machine is now rooted, running TNT lite 2.2, has full Market access, syncs with my exchange server\gmail and hotmail accounts and oh yeah lets me rock out to Angry Birds, watch video or movies and read books on Kindle or FBReader.
Yeah I've gotten the boot loop and most of the other "there is a possibility this could happen" items. Don't panic, set it aside come in and read the forum and you'll learn how to fix it.
I do recommend Clocworkmod it gives you so many options when you bork your system.
Order that I'd follow
Install ClockWorkMod
Clear the CACHE using CWM
Install TNT Lite 2.2
Install Flash 10.1
Perform Market fix
Install Angry Birds
Enjoy
All of these can be discovered in this thread just remember DON'T PANIC help is around the corner.
Great post! Its true, there was no instructions how to this. I had to get the info from the Tegratab forums. Thank you.

Thanks for posting this!
I'm finishing up a start-finish guide on how to install clockwork, tnt lite 2.2, flash, and market. Should be up in a bit.
Are there any guides on how to reflash back to viewsonic's standard firmware? You know, just in case I need to return the little beast....

Cannot get cwm8 installed
I guess I am really missing something about the steps to install CWM8 as I have placed this on a Micro SD card and when I insert it in the gtab and reboot it only recovers from the original internal file and not the one on the Micro SD card, how do I get it to identify the card?

Be sure there are no update.zip files on the internal storage.
thank you very much, excellent info
ok, flashing clockworkmod isnt working for me. I already have tnt 2.2 installed and titanium backup. apparently i skipped the whole clockworkmod when i got my gtab and got it hooked up. couldnt wait to try tnt 2.2.....
so, i have downloaded the clockworkmod file and unzipped it to my internal storage. when i reboot with power and vol+ i get to a yellow triangle for about 1-2 seconds then it kicks me to the normal boot and loads as normal.
any ideas on how i can get clockworkmod on here?
i thought maybe i can try rommanager, since this file didnt work, but it didnt work either.
i am wanting clockworkmod so i can backup and flash / install the wifi tether fix for ad-hoc mode.
any ideas?

That's your problem. I apolagize for not being more clear. This version of clockworkmod can only be installed from a microSD card. I will edit the guide to clarify.

I had the same issue, I think. But I solved it.
ORIGINALLY (wrong way): I manually put the update.zip file into a folder I created called "recovery."
NOW (right way): I let the zip file extract into my SDCard. This created a folder called "recovery" with a file inside called "command." It also created a SEPARATE file called "update.zip" So it is actually 2 files and one folder.
G-tablet
Sorry i'm not in the loop yet with the tablet,but I've done what I thought was copying then pasting the 2 files, but it looks like its not in the internal root file of the G-tablet as i'm looking at the ES File explorer, when i try from the G-tab to copy then paste it, it says copy failed do i need to do it from my laptop or can i do it from the G-tab and will someone please walk me through it from start to finish, i'm in a pinch here Thanks, anyone ......
Perhaps this will help a bit, feel free to link to this image in other threads where this might be needed. I think I have it correct, let me know if it is wrong. A picture of what you need in order to recover/reflash is maybe worth more than words here.

Follow the letter the instructions below:
1. Boot the phone into the pink screen mode (volup + voldown + power) and connect it to the PC via usb cable.
2. Your PC will find a new device. Open it, and then open folder called "image" in it.
3. Copy stock boot.img to your PC, you'll need it later.
4. Now copy my boot.img from PC to the device, replacing stock boot.img
5. Use your operating system tools to safely remove the device, then pull out the battery to get out from pink screen mode. Boot the phone.
6. While booting, the phone gets rooted. When it boots up, you can turn it off and get to the pink screen again.
7. Restore stock boot.img you saved earlier.
8. Boot the phone again - it is rooted and working properly now
================================================== ========== ===============================
Before reinsert the sd it would with a cardreader to put in Pc and delete folders: android_secure,, Android.
And so the bags otherwise they'll rebuild automatically once you put the sd.

the fixed "boot.img" download: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HA9FSEKL
It doesn't install root explorer, and it doesnt delete cust.img, but still should give you root access. To have the clock widget just put cust.img I've uploaded earlier into image folder from pink screen mode
Hey guys! I won't fix my boot.img.
It will work that way
you put my boot.img into image folder via pink screen,
boot phone once,
then boot into pink screen again,
restore stock boot.img and that's all
the phone is rooted and no overhead at start because of those modified boot.img's.

2.6.35.7
I've extracted the config from the kernel and uploaded here: http://pastebin.com/SspBFBwF
kernel boot.img: http://www.mediafire.com/?c5i4i1j1p163w8a
(only difference from stock is I've unsecured it)
I assume that the Overseas version shouldn't delay so much.
What do you think?

so we can just install chinese and then somehow navigate to settings menu and choose english?
can we have a screenshot please?
Anyway I believe that it is not serious that huawei doesn´t release the chinese and overseas versions at the same time.
Well this is interesting.. the system image has the wifi driver for the regular U8800 in it.
system dump for those that want it: http://www.multiupload.com/1AG300FSXD
DEV ONLY. It's not in CWR flashable format.

Also the kernel boots with your MIUI port. A few issues like rather broken screen rotation but that'll be a simple fix.
Roll on the release of the source.
I was gonna say that the kconfig looked like it had support for the regular u8800.
How did you split the kernel from the update btw?
double post..

Feedback required by law
Dr. Doofenshmirtz, I'll try.
Hello
I can try, but I can tell you how it goes just over the weekend.
Android says that it is A500, but there are options for mobile connections, pretty weird.
Another thing, data connections - there are no apn's, so I decided to enter it manually, but after saving settings list is still empty. After reboot - same thing.
Then .......... I recovered another A501 (thanks to a friend of mine) and I have installed your rom.
The 3g works perfectly.
The GPS no, that's why I wrote in private (PM)
I would say GREAT JOB

Did you install gapps?
Yes, I did. Twice. Once with mine old 20130301 gapps I downloaded month ago, and then this one (apparently the same).
And.. I can remove and insert sim card without any notification on screen.
Hi,
For me 3G is not working it cant even find any network. And for me also home button does nothing and cant open web browser ;p
EDIT:
After few reboots home and browser started to work bus still no network or 3g.
In Attached log I've went into airplane mode that turned it off and started GPS status.
for all, I installed it on stock Rom with bootloader V8

OK, so basically you did a dirty flash on top of a stock ROM. Try doing all wipes them flash the ROM. Currently, the settings don't show a radio baseband, and errors when detecting network.
My internet is down, so will post dmesg when its back up.
For you others, please attach a dmesg
Adb dmesg > 3gdemesg.txt
Try to do it after boot.
Moscow Sorry, I badly explained
Yes I installed the stock rom, but obviously doing all wipe .... then everything clean
Tell me more about how this gets ADB dmesg> 3gdemesg.txt
?

Ok, with the new JB, you will need some new Google adb files for your PC, otherwise you cannot run the adb commands due to Google's new security. You can get a small package here for Windows PC. Just put them in a folder on your PC. (also, seems like the old command may not work with the new adb)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144709
Or,
You can do this through the Terminal App on the tablet.
1. Start Terminal Emulator
2. Type su (you should get some type of $ sign then)
3. Then type dmesg >/mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt (or what ever you want to name it)
This creates it on your internal SD, then use a file explorer to copy it out.
Usually, I can't see the txt file when I move it to Ext SD, so I pull my card and get it from PC.
MD
Kernel Dmesg attached.
EDIT: Also, that USB Issue I told you about, seems to not be in this build. Considering 3g shares USB, I didn't get a reboot with flash sticks, so a step in the right direction.
When going to Settings/More/Mobile Networks, when selecting Access Point Names, Settings closes out back to the default Settings Page.
Logcat attached.
Looks like according to the logcat, it shells out because it can't find the radio. Also saw some info immediately above like LTE CDMA stuff. This makes sense as in the Settings About Phone, it doesn't have the radio baseband listed.
On a lesser priority, copying a file from my 1tb NTFS to the internal memory works great.
However, you cannot write back to the drive. VOLD?

Thanks,
Also, paste your build.prop here if you can. You can find it in /system. We're quite puzzled why your 3g is working and nobody else's is.
When you go to settings/more/mobile networks/access point names does it have your provider listed?
MD
here it is

Thanks, so that explains the 3g.
You have the TegraOwners build.prop. which probably means there were left-over files from the rom you were running before. I kind of suspected this.
So basically, what you have now, is a mix of the 2 roms.
Remember, before flashing any new rom
1. In CWM Wipe menu
a. Data/factory reset
b. Wipe cache
c. Wipe Dalvak Cache
2. In Mounts and Storage
a. Format System
b. Format Flexrom
Then install rom. I'll bet if you do that, you won't have 3g afterwards.
Thanks for the help though, as it clears things up, and randomblame can focus on the issues.
MD
I'm sorry to contradict you but I can guarantee that I have done all the steps you have listed perhaps exception of flexrom (can not remember, more no than yes).
With Rom TegraOwners for me 3g never worked, that's why I did not use for a long time (see signature in the latest version that I used some time ago) ...
But I knew the secret.
After trying the 3g working, I tried the GPS did not work and then I installed the fix found on TegraOwners (http://forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1046&start=2220 # p33410) here who has rewrote the build.prop
