Upgrading to Cyanogen - Plz read!

Hey, I just wanted to confirm that I will be taking all of the proper steps in putting CyanogenMod 3.6.8.1. Here's what I will be doing (I'm going to start from complete scratch - figured it would help a bit):
CURRENTLY ON JF1.51 CRB43
-------------------------------
Repartitioning 8GB Class 4 card with 700MB Ext2
Reverting back to RC29 via DREAIMG.nhb
Flashing recovery image in terminal
Installing HardSPL through recovery console
Installing JF1.51 ROM (Heard its smart to do this first)
Installing HTC Radio from http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html
Installing Cyanogen Recovery Console
Flashing CyanogenMod 3.6.8.1 ROM
Recovery console: upgrade_fs (EXT2 -> EXT3)
-----------------------
QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE
-----------------------
Will this ROM smoothly support the modified Rosie.apk from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532822 ?
Am I correct in assuming I do not need to install the Haykuro SPL?
Should I use Compcache from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537236 ? I have no experience whatsoever with swap files
Am I correct in assuming that I do not need to manually set up Apps2SD?
And most importantly: DID I MISS ANY CRUCIAL STEPS THAT I WILL REGRET DOWN THE LINE? Dont believe so, but better safe than sorry!!
Thanks every so much!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I will be using Paragon Partition manager to partition MicroSD card if that makes a difference

you shouldnt have to redo all the steps. just wipe and flash his rom. also to my knowledge rosie will not run on a non-hero rom. you do not need haykuro's spl. i have put cm rom on phones straight from rc-29 with no problems. i do not know how to use paragon, but it is very easy to partition an sdcard through cyanogens 1.3.1 recovery. apps2sd is automatic with his rom. if it feels slow you can use compache but do not have to if you do not feel you need to. if you do want to go through the steps you have listed then you are set. hope i was able to answer some of your questions

Your ext2 partition is really large. 500MB should be well enough.

It sounds like you are coming from a brand new g1. If you already have root i wouldnt go back to RC29. And really dont see a point in installing JF 1.51 if your going to cyanogens. You'll just wipe it off anyways.
1. I suggest installing the Cyan's Recovery image first.
2. Then the newest radio and SPL.
3. Make sure you have adb setup (it makes things way easier)
if you want to run cyanogens i suggest 3 partitions although ive heard you can get by with 2. The 3 partitions are generally fat32, ext2/3/4 (2 or 3 is fine and usually is around 500 MB) and a linux-swap partition which is usually around 32 MB, and whatevers left out of your space on your sd card goes to your fat32.
4. If you want to upgrade from ext2 to ext3 then do the upgrade_fs
5. Use ADB and push over the update file or if you have a SD card reader i think you can do it that way.
6. Boot into recovery and do an alt-w (wipe) and alt-s (apply update).
7. Should be good to go from there.
Now for your questions:
1. No you dont need hykuro's SPL (sorry if i mis-spelled i dont use)
2. I personally do not use compcache and it runs ridiculously fast ( I do use linux swap)
3. As far as steps you may have missed. I believe the suggested advice is radio first then spl.
Lastly: There are guides and links to all the files you need right here on XDA. Use the search function as much as possible and the community will be glad to help out. If you have any questions you can get my contact info out of my profile, ill help as i can (im still pretty new to this).
Disclaimer: I AM NOT RESPONCIBLE FOR ANY BAD ADVICE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT LEAD TO THE BRICKING OF YOUR DEVICE.

Thanks for the replies everyone! Flashing it now, I'll report back on how it runs!

I'll be doing this tomorrow as well. Pretty straightforward.

Its so damned fast!!! lol It really feels like things open before I even push the button sometimes!
Many many thanks Cyanogen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always love a happy ending.

Another happy root user = possible next gen dev!

All I would of recommended was installing his Recovery image 1.31 and running a nandroid backup just incase you want to revert back to your old build.

Done and done
New sig speaks for itself...its ultra sexy (screenshots to follow once I find an old apk)

please help

I have tryed that but still it doesn't work. Can you direct me on trying something else please. Many thanks

1.Are your partitions set up correctly? fat32/ext2/swap? When in doubt, backup and reformat all partitions.
2.Which radio/SPL are you using?
3. Which ROM is it you are trying to use? Some require different things to be set up properly.

1.I have the partion set up fat32/ext2/linex I have formated the fat32 but don't know how format the ext2 and linex. How do u do this?
2. I have the 261 radio and can't remember the SPL but I have gone through the steps in the forum on how to root the g1. I even flashed my g1 again. I have a 32b motherboard. That's what it says when I hold the camera and on button.
3. I have tryed many JAChero roms and even the heroblur one. But can't seem to get it working. Do I have to have a class 6 sd card? Or can I work on a class 2?

When you went to bootloader mode and saw you had a 32B board it would show your spl there. But most likely you need to wipe your ext partition. And I would suggest upgrading from ext2 to ext3.

did u wipe your ext3 in console before flashing

you may want to clear your davlik-cache.
from terminal
Code:
su
cd /system/sd/davlik-cache
rm *
exit
exit
If you have ADB set up you can format your ext partition as follows (quoted from a different post)
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
rm -r /system/sd/*
reboot recovery
then flash your update
If I were you, I would back up my sd card to your computer and format the entire thing setting up all of your new partitions using parted from the recovery. Also make sure you remember to upgrade_fs after doing it.

My guess is that you have the wrong SPL. However, be very careful in changing the SPL--make sure that your phone is compatible (check the threads).

i do have the 1.33.2005 spl. i have bought a class 6 sd card. formatted card and partitioned it now installing jachero2.2b. do u recommend or what rom do fink is the fast and stable one.

I have no reason to recommend against the jachero, but I don't run Hero ROMs. Do you have adb installed? If so, when you are booting your phone, run "adb logcat" on your computer. Post what you see when the reboot happens and someone may be able to offer more help.

hero2 1.5.1 run fast without bugs. pretty much some hero roms after 1.5.1 contain people search fc, no audio for recoring

G1 Cannot install Roms

Alright a few days I had the specs in my sig and then Hero kept looping in the beginning (when the little Android pops up). So I just reflashed into the same rom after wiping (I keep all my roms on SD just in case a rom messes up when I'm out) but the sd couldn't mount. I realized the SD was corrupt (using a separate card reader) Formated the card and put MLIGN's Hero rom but wouldn't work, so I reset everything and put the default bootloader and rom on the phone and it worked (although I lost root)
So later I rerooted my phone and used this recovery 11-Oct-2009
I flashed into the T-Mobile 1.6 USA Rom thats in the forums here, I cannot find it as of now but I saw it earlier.
Today I decided to flash into a new rom and everytime I flash into a new rom I get errors saying "E:Failure at line43: set_perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM:xbin/sqlite3"
I tried using the recovery image to partition my SD card but it wouldn't work and told me to run a console command that didn't even work.
Any help
- I do not have any partitions on my SD card
- My sd card is Formated
- poop
any help will be appreciated thanks

1) Follow the steps to root AGAIN, update your Radio to 2.22.19.261, THEN upgrade to DRC83 (Donut).
2) Flash your recovery.

I just did a full format and it seems to let me install soul life roger v31
But if I cannot flash into micro hero then I'll do what you said.
Thank you for the reply!

Alright, it still doesn't install roms but I installed the official update 1.6 (with root) but I cannot access the camera. All it does when I press and hold the camera button (or go through the interface) is go blurry and wait about a minute then reboot the phone... I really cannot reflash into this rom again considering I don't have data and I'm not sure how much it would cost to log into GMail everytime I reflash (AT&T rates). I do not know how many kbs it uses to register with the google servers or how much ATT charges per kb.
Any help will be appreciated

Flashing a base before using kingklick's eclairs?

Hello,
I installed xkingklick's back 2 stable eclair build (at least tried to) on my G1 using the following method:
Started off using cyanogen's rom (latest version) on my G1 then:
1. Partitioned my sdcard as fat32, 512mb ext3, 96mb swap
2. I wiped my phone
3. Applied the kingklick update.zip (version 1.5)
then rebooted and it just hang at this nexus one (?) 4-colors animated screen (the one with the colored swipes) sometimes it just hangs a little while (giving me the impression that something is happening in the background) but after waiting 40+ minutes I felt like nothing was going to happen.
Do I need to install some kind of baseimage as I did with cyanogenmod? What am I (obviously) doing wrong?

install amon ra's recovery image first
then wipe every partition and repartition the sd card...
wipe data
wipe dalvik
wipe ext3
wipe battery and rotation settings
when partitioning rmr to upgrade ext2 to ext3 after the partitioning...
i missed that in the beginning and phone was being mad slow
hope it helps...
if still the same problem
trying flashing another eclair rom
if it works then the dl copy u have is bad
redownload and check md5s

do you have a new spl?
if not flash a new spl first...
make sure you have the newest radio

Switching From Cyanogen to Eclair

Hello,
I have a G1. I am not new to the flashing, but I have been with cyanogen mod for a while now. I want to switch to this rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593102.
I have looked at the requirements. I have the Radio-2.22/19.26I. I am not sure what SPL I have(or even how to check it). I have the RA-dream recovery.
How would I go about putting that rom on?. What do I need to backup? I know there are a lot of guides, but many of them are not clear.
Also how easy would it be to restore to cyanogen mod? What would I have to do?
Thank You!

Cough* okay...If you do not already have Amon-Ra's recovery I suggest you get it, search it up on google, it will make your life a whole lot easier. YOu must also search up a tut on how to install a new recovery if you do not know or have Amon Ra already. Second of all format your sd card through the Amon-Ra recovery(press home+power) and find it in the options(look around with your trackball, press it to enter). Format some of your sd card to swap(64/96mb),ext 2(anythng, but not whole sd card memory) fat32 will be using the remainder. Do a full wipe before flashing the danger spl(refer to next sentence/step).Now that you have all those flash the Danger SPL(look it up on google once again) DO NOT FLASH YOUR RADIO AGAIN. Then flash the eclair rom and your done.
Just a little note, Eclair does not have video drivers, so laggy games and youtube/mp4 videos. Just a little heads up.
EDIT: Backup data on your sd card if it's important as formatting it through amon-ra will delete them all and do not pull out your sd card while in recovery or updating cause it will do some funky stuff to your sd card =P

Alright. Thank you very much. I have already installed the Amon-Ra Recovery, so Im good there. Is the ext2 for apps 2 sd? Or would that be another process?
Also, if I am running cyanogen mod, do I need to do the danger spl? How csn I check what spl I have. I know what radio, but not spl.

ext2 is for apps2sd but I recommend ext3 or if you are bold ext4. If you are on the g1 then the danger spl is needed. To check boot into fastboot (power and back arrow) It is right next to hboot (spl is the hboot). I got links to the danger spl (haykuro spl) and radio in my signature.
With any AOSP eclair right now for g1/32B magics, videos do not work at all and games will be laggy if you can even get that far. So with eclair, no videos or apps that use a lot of eyecandy, and NO GAMES.
