I tried to follow the steps and made it all the way until step #A2 where you click backup recovery image and it says backup failed and thats as far as I get with it. I noticed others having the same problem as me but no real solutions or replies can anyone help with this issue?

I am thinking about using the method B to root and install a custom rom on my g1. I do have one major concern and that is flashing the spl once you’ve updated the radio. It says that you must install a new rom after flashing the spl or your phone will not boot, but does not explain how to do that! If I put the spl file on my sd card and flash it, do I have to use a memory card reader to take the spl file off of the card and than place the new rom on the card and proceed with flashing the rom? It says that some custom roms require you to update the spl before flashing the rom, how do I know what roms require this? At any rate I feel updating the spl file is needed to future proof my phone with custom roms but I’m not sure how to do this. Any help would be much appriciated!

You probably tried to install a rom that requires the radio and spl updates mentioned above. You need to update the radio first, and then the spl. Once you’ve done this it should boot up no problem but if not you will have to install the rom update again. Let me know if this helps.
