No..
flashing radio and hboot via recovery is risky, don't do it
SpoofSPL
ok, here is SpoofSPL
( thanks to Sisterchick for the name, I much prefer it to fakeSPL )
It will patch your recovery to look like it is 1.33.2005, so you don't have to fiddle about with the updater-script
Just flash it when ever you update recovery
Edit:
new spoof, 1.33.0013, which will be compatible with the restrictive kernel port zips
edit2:
Note, you do not need these spoofzips if you are using customMTD
just use 1.33.0013 as the fake ( spoofed ) SPL
e.g. /sdcard/mtdpartmap.txt that is compatible with 2708 mod
will let you flash current CM6 roms, and Ezterry's Kernel Port
( might work on older cm5's not sure, I seem to remember a x.xx.xx13 was missing at some point in the past )
Meh, sticky button deleted the old 1.33.0013 , its the same file I just had to re-upload it

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 457.0M 8.0M 424.5M 2% /sd-extwell, seeing as it patches recovery, flash it when you have the recovery you want
Seems safe enough to use then; If that is the case for install you can use the same instructions I have... you may need to find other ways of doing an emergency uninstall (the orange dream nbh with an engineering SPL is not really an option for the magic)
Obviously customMTD will give you 78MB more data.. but us dream users whuld be happy for the 295.8 since we don't see that even with customMTD
Thanks ezterry!
For your work on the custom kernel, on the MT3G-Test2, and on the instructions.
Just installed and works fine!
Feels snappier.. Usually I would go around and do a free command on the terminal emulator. But free only works with BusyBox I think. What command do I use now?
Anyhow! Thanks for your work, If people read and execute like you told em. Everything should work fine!
Found it! Command is: cat /proc/meminfo

i just decided to start from scratch and update from the ota's, so far so good, i wasnt sure if i was gonna get a response so i just started over.
The rapidshare link for orange-1.58.73.2.nbh is not working for me. Does any one have a different link for this or maybe mirror it somewhere else. I don't want to try anything until I have that.
Not to side track you but just as a general note;
You can flash any signed nbh this way, I just recommend the Orange one because I know it has the 1.42.2000 SPL which is an engineering SPL (thus you can use fastboot to restore your system to any state you wish)
Unfortunately I got it in ruu form .. and extracted the nbh from the ruu wizard. (the ruu version can be found on many french dream android sites as its easy for them to root their phones with the eng SPL.. but maybe with all the other hacking or the fact I only run windows in VMWare, I've never been able to get an RUU.exe to flash a rom)

Maybe it isn't the fault of the new radio/hboot, but since I flashed it, I can't play Angry Birds. Now it loads the currently unloaded elements (the stuff what was white) but the screen is kinda distorted, everything is overscaled and displaced. Anyone got the same problem, or is it just me?
Meaning it might be possible to get the 1.33.0013d on the MT3G? Is there any known way to do this emergency uninstall, just in case?
If so I am willing to try this on my device. Getting more RAM is the only real point for not buying a new phone atm :X
Thanks Terry, but Rapidshare miraculously cleared up. Its downloading now. All I need to do now is decide what I will flash, BM2.1 or a 6.1
THIS IS AWESOME! Ezterry, you did it again! HUGE THANK YOU! Additional 15 mb of RAM isn't something you can pass by without notice. It's like someone gave me ~40% of RAM.
I don't know what to say. Thank you!
I don't know what to say. Thank you!
Seems like just you. I installed it on CM 6.1 with this combo, and it works fine, minus the obvious backdrop texture issues.
So for you, the static textures still won't load, but the game goes fine... hmmm... maybe it has to do something with the new CM build 235 :S

552708+ enabled kernel [14MB ram with radio 2.22.27.08/2.22.28.25 & hboot 1.33.0013d]
[SIZE=+1]Attention: The following will only work on phones that 32B devices; This includes ALL HTC Dreams (regardless of EBI1/EBI0; but only includes the original MT3G phones. Not the Magic 32A (sometimes called magic plus) without the audio jack or the Fender/MT3G 1.2 device with the audio jack.[/SIZE]
Fender/MT1.2 users see this thread for additional information.
A little while back the MT3G-ota release hit the streets; With it on the MT3G was a new radio 2.22.27.08, and H-Boot 1.33.0013 allowing the new firmware to have access to 15MB additional ram. Since I've had some patches on our old radio/SPLs to bring that down to 14; however that still leaves us a long way to go.
Now I'm happy to announce the new radio can be used with the latest build of my latest kernel
This is at this point in time an advance process so please proceed with caution and read carefully, so you do not end up bricking your device.
!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!
The following SPL 1.33.0013d, was modified with HTC Dreams in mind.
However after some trial it appears to also be safe on the 32b Sapphire phones [aka MT3G]; And will provide benefits as bypassing any version/region checks on the NBH flashes and allowing 'fastboot erase system -w' to ensure cleaner wipes between installs.
Sapphire users may however also use the unmodified 1.33.0013 (this is not recommended for dream users due to the partition sizes, and lack of 'fastboot erase image' to simplify wipes between roms; or CustomMTD resizes.)
To Start you will need a fastboot enabled SPL such as 1.33.2003 or 1.33.2005 or 1.33.2010 or 1.42.2000 as I'm not distributing the new radio/SPL in a update.zip ..

[SIZE=+2]== Installing ==[/SIZE]
(Note: Please Do read the information on the SPL below before actually installing)
1) Take a nandroid backup of your current rom (mandatory if you are trying to move the current rom to the new radio/SPL) to simplify things put any update.zips you expect to need on the SD card now
2) enter fastboot mode
3) flash the files and other operations via fastboot
now you will see you have an s-on boot loader with 1.33.0013d as its versionCode:fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.27.08.img fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.0013d.img fastboot reboot-bootloader
please remember while fastboot erase works; fastboot flash does not so be careful *not* to remove the recoveryCode:fastboot erase system -w fastboot erase boot
4) Boot into recovery
5) install a system from backup or as a fresh rom some options are:
6) If your rom doesn't come with a 2780+ port: Flash the anykernel for the new radio ezBiffTestKernel20110222-2708_S.zip
a. If you want your previous rom restore the nandroid backup
b. If you are installing the MT3G-Test3 flash 'MT3G-test3_S.zip' (no need to continue with these instructions as this is a 2708 port)
c. If you are installing BiffModV2.1-2708port_S.zip flash it as per These instructions using the 2708+ port instead of the BiffModV2.1.zip (you will not need to continue with the steps on this page)
d. Install your new rom as-per the roms instructions (if it is a 2708+ port do not proceed to step 6 unless you want my kernel instead of the rom creators)
7) reboot and use as normal

[SIZE=+2]== Important Information about 1.33.0013d ==[/SIZE]
A not quite so perfected SPL
1.33.0013d is based on the new 1.33.0013 released in the MT3G ota and allows access to the additional memory provided by the new radio. The original SPL however was very unfriendly to the Dream; and being a perfected SPL left quite a bit to be desired.
Please note 1.33.0013d is modified for use only on the dream and has a few of the problems fixed (but some cannot be changed due to the Perfected base SPL)
*) Fastboot mode is enabled (however very few commands are available)
*) fastboot erase works (allowing us the most important function of wiping the current system)
*) 'fastboot flash nbh' works and will skip most checks
*) SPL's partition layout (dream only): 91MB system 27MB cache 91.8MB data
(magic users will see a normal partition layout)
If you find yourself stuck without recovery!!
Dream
1) Download: orange-1.58.73.2.nbh (MD5: aca4dee0c1ece7e9773f2ecbdfbba7c0) (mirror)
2) enter fastboot and run 'fastboot flash nbh orange-1.58.73.2.nbh'
3) wait for the entire nbh to flash
4) boot into the bootloader again (it will be an engineering SPL 1.42.2000)
5) You can now re-flash the radio/hboot/recovery via fastboot that you wish to have installed.
Sapphire (MT3G)
1) Download SAPPIMG.nbh
2) enter fastboot and run 'fastboot flash nbh SAPPIMG.nbh'
3) Continue as per one click (flashreq) root instructions: http://www.getyourdroidon.com/wiki/index.php5?title=MyTouch_3G_One_Click_Root
If you just temporarily need an engineering SPL (and recovery is working):
(and have SPL 1.33.0013 + radio 2.22.27.08):
1) Nanroid backup
2) Flash (via recovery) ENG SPL 1.33.2005 **
3) do what you need to in the engineering SPL
4) reflash 1.33.0013d as above (install, reboot bootloader, fastboot erase)
5) restore nandroid
** Please remember if you have CustomMTD to remove it before flashing a SPL of Radio from recovery
fastboot erase without fastboot
I highly recommend dream users run 'fastboot erase system -w' as instructed above when first installing 1.33.0013d. However for sapphire users with 1.33.0013 (missing fastboot erase support) and for all users when away from your computer see this thread for a recovery executable zip to simulate fastboot erase.
[SIZE=+2]== Switching between Radios 2.22.27.08 and 2.22.28.25 ==[/SIZE]
To do this you can either restore the engineering SPL as above
Or use an advanced update.zip:
update_2.22.27.08_S.zip // [size=+1]mirror[/size]
md5: 412959f6887f9f8764bd285ad879e1c0
update_2.22.28.25_S.zip // [size=+1]mirror[/size]
md5: 2e384ab42da375458fdb135063b7536b
These zips have extended safety features.
1) Notice that you need to remove custom MTD (exists without flashing with warning)
2) prevents you from flashing if you currently have a different series of radio (ie. 1.22 or 3.22 .. it must be 2.22)
3) asks in a yes/no menu if you are sure that you want to install (with an extended warning for "unknown" SPLs that may cause problems. (1.33.0013/1.33.0013d/1.33.2005 are the 'known' SPLs)
It is *still* safer to use fastboot when possible however this is the method used by the OTA its self.. (just try to make sure you have a valid system first .. my checks attempt to avoid the most common potential issues.. but if you are crafty it can still cause a brick.)5New radio for Older Roms
If you are trying to get the new radio to work with older roms and experience camera issues: I've a slightly reduced ram version of the kernel that allows camera the full 8MB.
http://sandbox.devnull.name/android/ezOldBuildsKernel-2708_S.zip
MD5: 84cf7c7d2a923eed962aef5e1a6a94e9
This will work on CM4/5 however the install is not as trivial as just flashing some potential problems you may need to solve:
* Different path to the modules (move to correct place or add a symlink)
* old version of rzscontrol giving typewriter errors (pull the binary in recent cm builds and replace)
* modules not loaded by default that are needed (edit an init.d script)
Once these actions are made your rom will likely work as expected. I provide this file to help you port your older roms to the newer radio; not as a quick patch that will make everything work on its own. (For that I make things like the new CM5 2708 port where I manually cleanup the system in the updater.zip)

Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app3Okay. So I think I have read enough research about the stuff I need to know before flashing such radio/SPL. But I do have a couple of questions which came unanswered on my research. I'm a noob at this, so I hope you would take consideration on answering my questions because I don't want to proceed on such procedure with knowing it all the way(that would end up having my g1 bricked). So again, I apologize for such noob questions. Here are some things I need some clarifications for;
*Info*
I have a G1, with Cyanogen 6.1.0 DS, btw for info you might need. Radio 2.22.19.26I, on SPL, I have no idea because it doesn't say anything. It only says "Latest G1 SPL" which I downloaded from theunlockr. Which I was able to use adb and cyanogen 6 with.
*Questions*
- It says here "To Start you will need a fastboot enabled SPL such as 1.33.2003 or 1.33.2005 or 1.33.2010 or 1.42.2000 as I'm not distributing the new radio/SPL in a update.zip". That means I need an SPL that has enabled fastboot right? (noob question, but just for clarification to be safe) And if it is, is my SPL fastboot enabled? I was able to use it with adb. Haven't tried it with fastboot. I don't know if it is fastboot enabled because I have no idea what SPL version it is. So I can't do much research on it. So I refer from the fact that I was able to use it on adb on flashing my cyanogen 6.
-On ANY KERNEL INSTALLER.(Only if you are not using a rom containing a 2708+ kernel) Which means me, my cyanogen doesn't contain a 2708+ port. So there are 2. Which one is the most preferrable for me? Again, I have a Cyanogen 6.1.0-DS. BiffMod? Or Nightly236.CM_2708port?
-On step 6, Should I only proceed if I wish to use your kernel? Which is the ezBiffTestKernel20101106-2708_S.zip, RIGHT? (Not sure if thats what you meant)
-On A ROM area, it says. (note: many cm6 based roms block install because of the '1.33.0013d' bootloader Please use firerat's SpoofSPL). Which you all have read from above, I have a cyanogen 6.1. Am I RECOMMENDED to use "firerat's SpoofSPL" or the one you have provided (hboot-1.33.0013d.img) is good enough?
Thats about all my questions so far. If I will have more, I will just post or edit here again. Again, if you think these questions are so noobish, I apologize. I'm new at this and I've done a lot of research already, but some of them was left unanswered. I find it unfair for you guys doing all the work, and yet some people will shoot questions anyway they want without any research. So I did my research, but the ones I asked couldn't be answered. I hope you can help. Thanks a lot in advance.
Download the following (you might have to do a google search for each):
1) ohsaka-super-wipe.zip
2) hboot0013d-signed.zip
3) update_2.22.27.08_S.zip
4) ROM of your choice listed in the first post of this thread
Boot into Recovery
1) Run nandroid & backup
Reboot phone & copy all contents of SD card just to be safe. At this point, I used an SD card reader each time to load what I needed on the SD card. Then rebooted into recovery, flashed what I needed, put the SD card back into the card reader, loaded the next file, renamed to update, reboot into recovery, flash, repeat... This is probably not the preferred method... But it always works for me.
Flash in this order
1) ohsaka-super-wipe.zip
2) hboot0013d-signed.zip
3) update_2.22.27.08_S.zip
4) ROM of your choice listed in the first post of this thread
You should be golden... & for some reason... the super wipe made all the difference in the world!
