Hi Folks,

...
Now I have fastboot and it works, but what I can't find, is a recovery image that is compatible with the radio version of ginger-yoshi.. I tried amon_RA but kept getting a checksum error when using fastboot.
sending 'recovery' (2642 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

...

Saphire PVT 32B Ship S-ON G
HBOOT 1.33.0013d (SAPP10000)
RADIO-2.22.27.08

...

You have the 0013d/2708+ combo installed. This SPL does not support fastboot flash of recovery nor SPL. If you do not have a working recovery, you can flash the orange-xxx.nbh from the 2708+ thread (see my signature). Then you have a fastboot, can flash recovery and later on the 0013d SPL / 27.08 radio again.

Great job

You did a great job on this tutorial it has worked great and all mistakes were mine. Is there a page/spreadsheet that compares all the android phones? I have 6 but I just need one. CM7 on the Evo Shift has come a LONG way and unfortunately I won't have CDMA access anymore. Sooooo I dug my old G1 up and found the "i" radio which lets me use the G1 outside of Rogers/Tmo/etc....

Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img to a location where fastboot can find it.
Boot your G1 into fastboot mode (boot while holding BACK)
Connect your G1 via usb to your pc/mac/...
fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your device)
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img

I'm doing that and I get "signature verify fail"

You are on the 1.33.0013d spl which provides only a limited set of fastboot commands ...

If you want to flash a new recovery using fastboot, you need to install a different spl first, probably the orange-xxx.nbh could is the way to go. (Further information can be found in Terry's thread about the 0013d spl. A link can be found in my signature.)

This is a custom recovery based on Cyanogen's recovery source with a lot of things added by me. The purpose of this recovery is to avoid using adb by accessing all features directly from the menu.

All source code is available at github.

This recovery if for the HTC Dream/G1 only, if you have an :
- HTC Magic/MT3G you should go here.
- HTC Hero you should go here.
- HTC Sprint Hero you should go here.
- HTC Eris you should go here.
- HTC Tattoo you should go here.
- HTC Nexus One you should go here.

Important notes
  • Always check recovery.log before posting your issues!
    You can do this by doing :
    • "cat /tmp/recovery.log" OR "cat /cache/recovery/log" right after you had the issue.
    • Use the "move log to sd" option in the "others" menu right after you had the issue. This will move the log to /sdcard/recovery.log so you can easily open it with a text editor.

Features

Use the trackball (up+down) to navigate through the menu, press the trackball to select items.
You can also use the volume keys (vol-up + vol-down) to navigate, and the CALL-ANSWER key to select items (in case your trackball is broken).

Install

  • There are several ways to install a custom recovery, choose the one that suits you most (I probably forgot a few).
  • You don't need to enter "mount -a" if your partitions are already mounted.

via fastboot :
  • Requires engineerings SPL!
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img to a location where fastboot can find it.
Boot your G1 into fastboot mode (boot while holding BACK)
Connect your G1 via usb to your pc/mac/...
fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your device)
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img

via adb :
  • Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys) like Cyanogen's v1.4 or my previous recovery
  • Do NOT follow these steps from a terminal application on the phone, make sure that you've booted into a custom recovery first!!!
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
Connect your G1 via usb to your pc/mac/...
adb shell
#mount -a (this can give back an error if you don't have an ext partition, don't worry about it and just proceed)
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img

via console :
  • Requires root
  • Do NOT follow these steps from a terminal application on the phone, make sure that you've booted into a custom recovery first!!!
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
select console from the menu
#mount -a (this can give back an error if you don't have an ext partition, don't worry about it and just proceed)
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img

via terminal application installed on the phone :
  • Requires root
    [*]DO NOT use this method with CM5.0.7, there are currently some memory issues while flashing, use the above methods (preferably the fastboot method) instead until the issue is fixed in CM5.0.7!
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img

Download

ALWAYS check the md5sum to make sure the zip isn't corrupted.

Can you please take a look at my sig and give me some info on what to do next to get this going? a problem im having is i got CWM recovery installed, i tried flashing Ramon RA Recovery 1.7.0 through fastboot and Rom Manager it says installed but when i go to reboot into recovery it stays on the G1 screen and wont boot till i do a battery pull.i let it boot all the way and reflash CWM RECOVERY in Rom Manager and will boot fine into Recovery.I would really appreciate any info on this and get this resolved.
 
Way to quote the entire first post there, bud. ;) At least now we know you know where to find the Amon-RA installation instructions.

My suggestion may seem a bit rash, but it should work.

I assume you can successfully use fastboot, as it appears you can. If not, you should do some more research before continuing.

Back up what you can. If you can boot the rom, as it seems you indicate, do so and export any of your important data to the SD card.

Then put this file on your computer somewhere. Let's call that location "c:\location\" and the file "orange.nbh". Of course, replace these with what you actually save the file as and where...

You no doubt have Amon-RA 1.7 downloaded somewhere. Move or copy it to the same folder. Preferably, have the .IMG file handy as opposed to a .ZIP or other.

Then get the radio, HBOOT, and ROM you want to use. This file should have something that will work for radio and HBOOT. Unzip it to the same location. Note that there is at least one newer version of the radio for G1/ADP, but this radio should work with recent ROMs and kernels. Then you just need the ROM, which it appears you have as well.

Then reboot the phone into fastboot mode, and make sure the phone says it is in FASTBOOT mode. In this mode, on the PC, in command prompt, type "fastboot flash nbh c:\location\orange.nbh" (remember to replace the file path/name with what's really there for you). This will give you a known-good SPL, radio, etc. and flashing things should work (should anyway on the SPL version you have).

Then reboot the phone BACK INTO FASTBOOT MODE ("fastboot reboot-bootloader") and make sure the flash worked (should show numbers consistent with Orange instead of the HBOOT you're used to). If so, run "fastboot erase system -w" then "fastboot flash radio [whatever-the-radio-file-is-.img]". WAIT for it to finish. Then "fastboot flash hboot [whatever-the-hboot-file-is-.img]". WAIT again. Then flash recovery, "fastboot erase recovery" / wait / "fastboot flash recovery [whatever-the-recvy-file-is-.img]" and wait again. If all is successful, reboot the phone into recovery. Should now be running Amon-RA.

I have done this successfully on my phone several times. Sometimes by choice.


If you need more step by step than this, go to Google and try searching for how to use fastboot on an HTC Dream. There are plenty of tutorials out there that will allow you to help yourself (so you don't have to wait for us to walk you through it).


Sincerely hope it helps...


CJ




EDIT:
Actually, if you can get into CWM Recovery, you should be able to flash the Amon-RA *ZIP* file from there and it "just work" without all that BS above. I forget where my Amon-RA ZIP file was found, I see here only .IMG files... let me hunt for a sec...

EDIT2:
With your SPL, being an "ENG"ineering SPL, you should need only do one thing: Boot the phone into FASTBOOT mode and from command prompt do "fastboot erase recovery" then "fastboot flash recovery [path-to-amon-ra.img]" then reboot to recovery. You shouldn't need the whole "orange" nbh kit.

EDIT3:
Appears a dot-zip of Amon-RA does not exist, so it appears one can only get Ra via Fastboot.

    Exactly what stats are wiped by wipe battery stats? Is it the status of what is using the battery? Does this undo or re-do "battery conditioning" (full drain, then full recharge as is often suggested by various people/sources)?

    (searched the forum and this thread and didn't find any real answers)

    It removes /data/system/batterystats.bin After that you should leave it charging until it reaches 100%.

    OK so looking to upgrade from CM 4.2.0.15 to the newest and greatest (6.x) and I apparently need Danger SPL, which needs Amon Ra's recovery.

    The problem I'm having with running the recovery .img is it just sits in the console and doesn't do squat. I tried changing the file name to a non-existent one and it gives me a file not found error, so the file is indeed there but it's just not flashing.

    I have tried the recovery screen, as well as the terminal app. I type su - and hit allow/remember when asked for the permissions prompt screen (I'm assuming this is "rooting").

    When I type the flash_recovery recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img and hit enter, nothing happens. Tried a different console app, same thing.

    Please advise.

    Or can I just go ahead and install Danger SPL with the stock CM4.2.0.15 recovery?

    Thanks!

    try doing

    Code:
    su
    erase_image recovery

    first

    but, tbh it probably worked the first time, its just a little shy and keeps quiet
