HTC G1/Dream boot

Here is a set of useful files (NOT FOR HTC MAGIC)

http://rapidshare.com/files/388568285/g1boot.zip

MD5: 5cf401e6f1294917047205bd483e0c74

  • hboot: 1.33.2003 - SPL both in update.zip and img format
  • hboot: 1.33.2005 - in img format
  • radio: 2_22_23_02 in img format

See the notes file for information on what and how the SPLs boot roms

(please consider the following a work in progress.. I am not responsible if you don't understand what you are doing and brick your device.. I already have too many people wanting me to de-brick their phones)

Installing 1.33.2003 from stock RC29** SPL:

  • From RC29 telnetd to root as usual
  • install ra recovery
  • flash the spl_1_33_2003.zip
  • reboot system when prompted

This is just a full bootloader using stock partition layout.. so from here you can still boot into your current stock system

** Yes I use rogers.. However this SPL [1.33.2003] is not to be used on a 3x (stock rogers radio) so don't flash the zip file with the 3x radio unless you want a death SPL type brick..

Installing danger SPL form 1.33.2003 SPL

Here you can enter fastboot and run the following

If you do not have a 2x radio run:

fastboot flash radio radio-2_22_23_02.img

Then run:

fastboot flash hboot hboot-1_33_2005.img

Returning to stock partition layout

Enter bootloader and run:

fastboot flash hboot hboot-1_33_2003.img

Why use this

well it seems 1.33.2003 which runs roms on both 1x [ebi0] and 2x [ebi0] radios is a good full engeniering SPL.. while eng2/hard SPL are lacking a little.

1.33.2005 (aka danger SPL) is also a full SPL but only runs roms on the 2x [ebi0] and 3x [ebi1] radios

Both SPLs if you flash via fastboot will prevent bricks switching between 1x 2x and 3x radios. As you will still be able to enter fastboot.. even if the rom wont start.

Most important

Both SPLs provide very low level access to the device; which if mis-used can certainly brick your device. But can also allow you to recover from most problems

However if you decide to flash an SPL or RADIO via recovery; you need to make sure the recovery on flash is compatible with the SPL/Radio combination that will be installed after the flash is complete..

Also avoid flashing other things while flashing a radio or spl
