[SOLVED] Flashing DREAIMG.nbh from Cyanogen's Recovery

---

Hey Everyone,

I was trying to start from scratch with my spare G1 and go through the rooting process again.
I upload the original SPL zip file and the DREAIMG.nbh to the root of the SD card
renamed the SPL to update.zip
flashed it through Cyanogen's recovery image
rebooted the phone
tried to gain access to the bootloader through the camera+power combo so that I could reflash DREAIMG.nbh but all I got to was Cyanogen's recovery screen seemingly in some sort of loop. See the screen shot for the recovery screen. I have left it in this state for an hour or so but nothing happens.

Everything seemed to be going fine over the last few weeks as I was flashing different ROMS and themes to my hearts content. Then I upgraded to Cyanogen's recovery image from JF's and things started to go south so then I figured I would go back to stock to start again.

I'm not sure where to go from here, but I know I'm not bricked and it may be questionable whether I am even soft bricked because I have had success twice flashing both thedudes cupcake and JF latest build but it seems I can't do anything else.

Any suggestions to get back to stock so I can start over? My ultimate goal is to upgrade from the engSPL to the hrdSPL, the radio has been updated to the latest since I first rooted and I haven't touched that since. I had success upgraded the original SPL to the engSPL and have flashed may ROMS since.

Unless I'm mistaken, I think I know what you're trying to do.
I think you mistakenly held down HOME and POWER when it should have been CAMERA and POWER (as you noted).
For the benefit of others...


1. Make sure that DREAIMG.nbh is in the root of your sdcard.
2. DREAIMG.nbh is case sensitive. Make sure DREAIMG is capital, and nbh is lowercase.
3. Turn your phone off (remove battery if necessary).
4. Hold down the CAMERA button while pressing the POWER ON button.
5. You'll need to press the HOME button to restore DREAIMG.nbh. Do that when asked.
6. Wait
7. Give it the three finger salute when all done to reboot your phone (hold down the MENU button and press the green button and the red button at the same time).

That should get you back to RC29.

Just for good mesure..

For good measure also backup your sd card, format it and only use the files you need on it.

No I pressed the right combination of buttons but pretty much anything I was doing was bringing me to the recovery screen. I pulled the battery, loaded it in again, pressed end+camera and I got to the bootloader from there so I was able to flash DREAIMG.nbh so I'm good now. Hopefully this thread will help others.
