Well after some time i had trouble loading the Recovery Menu to install he hardspl on my phone(and for everybody who helped me before, i found that reinsalling the 1.0 update and repeating everything from scratch fixed my problem, but thanxs for the help anyways)
I finally got it working.So now im running JF1.51
But now im trying to put appstosd on my phone
But what im reading is that you need TheDudes Rom to do so
Am i mistaken???
Or is there a specific way of doing it for Jf's rom
I've been looking aroung with no luck
So far all ive been able to make a partition, but thing arent going so well.
When i first tried it i Sucessfully created a partition on my phone
but when i install appstosd and try to "Move all Apps to SD"
it works but when trying to install stuff from the market it tells me "install unsucessful" and i cant revert it so i have to wipe/factory reset from recovery menu to get back to normal
So now im here like a [email protected] wondring what the heck do i do any help appreciated!
i feel like a broken record but... have you tried using the search feature?
because imo, if you did you would know that a2sd is not only for the dudes.
also 'HERE' link in my sig has a nice guide for getting a2sd and also go to the dev section.
oh to add, did you symlink your apps before you went to the market to install the apps?
if not, do that please.
Ok i got you but
whats symlink????
and how do i do it

okay if you are asking me what symlink means then you are obviously not reading the guides that are here on xda or even on the net for that matter.
well im kinda new and all these methods sound "Advanced"
especially the one you gave me
but im going to try ill see what happens
so thanxs
have you looked into lucidrem's script?
there are three basic rules to modding your phone:
SEARCH
IF IT LOOKS TOO HARD AND YOU'RE SCARED THEN STOP
IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO UNDO THE PROCESS THEN DON'T START
in the future start with step one

ok i have been to this page but it does not answer my questions.
I have jf 1.5.
I dont have root anymore.
I want jf 1.51
and I want root.
I cannot format my card to fat32 vista won't let me.
Just follow this again, and you will be fine. I have lost root doing various things playing with my phone. Everytime, I have had to start over and drop the phone back down to RC29 and redo it. Follow the directions to the letter and you will be fine. Then grab the JF 1.51 and apply it.
alternatively, you could just download Harry_M's kernel and it will give you root back again. You just need to rename to update.zip and flash (at least that is what I did). Although, I must warn you, I was running a stock adp1 at the time...so I'm not responsible if it doesn't work right.
I lost root with the crc1 update, and this fixed mine.
Here is the file.
Use ubuntu for partitioning your sd card. Can't go wrong with that. Tut in my sig
after you root it "install recovery" dont flash rc33, just flash cyans 3.9.2 and upgrade ur recovery to 1.4 and your radio also.

I was just wondering the same thing. The guys question was how does he get root back. He never said he wanted to switch ROMS.
Hey there guys I'm new to the site and also to the rooting of the phone and everything and Im not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but I have the crc1 build number 1.5 version firmware and I have tried to root my phone to use some themes from this website but I can't format my sdcard. When I right click and click on format it says "no disk in drive, please insert disk then try again" and it automatically unmounts my sdcard. Any reason why it's doing this? I hope someone could help me out here. Thank you!

Are you just trying to format to fat32 on your pc or are you wanting all the partitions (fat32, ext2/3/4, and linux-swap). Have you tried any of the commands in terminal? Have you tried Ubuntu? There is a tut in my sig on how to do it.
Try using a card reader instead of the phone. My wife's G1 does this for some reason. Mine doesn't however, not sure why cause I have a card reader and it was easier to do that than to figure it out.
Well I was looking at the ultimate noob thread about how to root. I pretty much want to use themes on here and also use custom boot logo's and things like that. But no matter what computer I try it says to insert a disk. I don't have a card reader on my computer. I'm just trying to format it to fat32 as of right now. Then after I do that I should be able to follow the instructions to root my phone.

Do it thru Ubuntu. Ubuntu will pick it up thru the phone. Know this for sure had to help someone out with this.
Isn't linux sweet, it just works.
Alright guys I will try that out now and let you know if it works or not. Thank you. After I root my phone should I follow the steps in the guide to update the ROM and everything like thaT?
Nevermind I fixed it.

Lol, actually I thought it worked but it actually didn't. I'm still stuck not being able to format my sdcard. I'm downloading that ubuntu program as we speak but I don't know how I will read the tutorial you got in your sig and do it at the same time. lol.
Nevermind guys, I noticed under "build number" it says CRC1. I have tried to format my sdcard on my computer and it says enter disk, I've tried rooting it through other videos I've watched and nothing. I guess I won't be able to get it to work after all. Thanks though guys for your help!
i recently upgraded my OS to android 2.3.3 from a website i found on here. it works fine and all but i was wondering since i have never really done any rooting or anything, and i was wondering how i would go about possibly adding a different ROM to my phone or if i have to take my phone all the way back to stock before i do it? Also since im a noob and all, i will need step by step directions on how to do it. i already have odin3 on my computer and used it to get my 2.3.3 update. is there a way to over lay 2.3.4 or any further update they might come out with and how would i do that? also my 2.3.3 update didnt really take any of the bloatware out or anything. i know taking it out makes the phone's speed faster and all, that might be something i'd like to look into doing. really any help from you more experienced ppl would help me out awesomely.
if u need my phone's upgrade info it is:
Samsung SGH-I897
firmware is 2.3.3
baseband : I897UCKF1
kernal : 2.6.35.7-I897UCKF1-CL273832
build number : Gingerbread.UCKF1
are you trying to format it via usb while it is still in your phone?? lol you dont 'have to' format your sd card to root device... you can format it after installing a custom recovery,
it just says to format it at first because if you flash a custom rom, there will be files on your sd card from 1.5ota and might mess with rom... so just format it after you flash the custom recovery
Hello all,
I'm curious about somethings for turning my g1 to the hero (rosie?) rom (wow it looks beautiful).
The first being Where can I actually find it? I found two sites that offer it but doesn't seem like its from the developer themselves (who I'd trust more).
Secondly, which developer has the best performance (e.g. speed, ect.). I've read that it is a deadly slow Rom and I already lack patience for my g1 now (It's the stock firmware). The hero its self looks much smoother, am I wrong?
If I can't risk my phone being bricked should I bother trying it? (I had it JF rooted in the summer which I did successfully on my first try, and I un-rooted it.)
Is there a text document with how to install with a video that coincides?
Lastly, Is Cyanogen a better rom? (this has next to nothing to do with the hero rom )
Hopefully I didn't miss a thread on this I searched for like an hour.

You cant just start driving, you have to learn the basics.When you get in a car there a many things that you need to do first is learning and even taking test.
You must have root first and a recovery image and im guessing your all stock.The dream section has all the info needed to root now is up to you to decide if you want to read it.
-Best regards
Thank you. I am very comfortable with the rooting process. I just don't want to do it unless the rosie rom is worth it!
Basically, Hero is incomplete. It doesn't have Bluetooth nor full Google Voice integration, and it runs 1.5. However, at the rate the devs are going on Hero 2.1 the version it runs could change very soon.
For now, stick with Cyanogen as it is a better Rom. Hero doesn't really work on the G1, it's slow and there is a lot of core function missing. It will never be an everyday ROM. I think of it like a concept car. Its cool in a "look what we can do" sort of way, but just wait for the next HTC Android phone.

Its not slow...You must be running a super old version..Hero 2.1 roms and 1.5 roms are both very fast...King's 2.1 is very fast and close performance to cyanogen, please dont misinform people.All current hero roms are fast, in a 2.1 rom you can achieve 20mb+ free ram which is about the same to a cyanogen rom. Maybe you used a old jac rom months ago.

I'm sorry to say, but no I have tried many Hero configurations on my class 6 as recently as a month ago. The fact is that even if there were drivers for all of the hardware over time Hero really starts to bog down. It will not always perform after that post-setup peak it has.
If you want working hero wait until the first 2 weeks of January when the Passion comes out.

Going to try this tonight. Read and watched the videos. seems very simple. thank you!
need help!
When following this guide http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/ho...ps2sd-onto-your-g1-or-mytouch-3g-best-method/ (I already did the one click root with no issues)
In part II of the guide
. Download the custom SPL for your device:
T-Mobile G1 – Here
MyTouch 3G – Unneccessary, skip this section and proceed to Section III.
3. Plug in your phone and mount the SD card (pull down on the notification bar and select the SD card notification then click Mount in the pop up window).
4. After the SD card shows up on the computer, put the SPL zip file on to the memory card.
5. Once it is done transferring to the memory card and you have renamed it, unplug the phone from the computer.
6. Turn off the phone and then turn it back on by holding down the Home and Power button to get to recovery mode (keep holding it until the recovery screen with the writing and black background come up). Here i get to the ! so I hit Alt + L to get to the recovery screen. It gives me the menu to reboot, apply zip, wipe. However at the bottom of the screen it says E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
7. Once the recovery screen is up, click on Wipe Data. Once that is done, click on Apply Update.zip and wait for it to finish. I wipe the date and then apply zip. I then get this message __ Install from sdcard... Finding update package... Opening update package... Verifying update package... E: No signature (5 files) E: Verification failed Installation aborted
I'm assuming this means the SPL file is corrupt but I don't know much and probably am wrong.
How can I fix this? I got this far with no issues and so close to being done!

Just rename to update not update.zip and make sure the sd is Fat32 not Fat or NTFS.
radio goes first i think make sure you did that section.

Thanks a bunch ace. In the two minutes its been up it's looked as good as I wanted it to!
so my son grabbed it this morning, it froze i took the battery out. Now it keeps going to the hero screens over and over again. what should I do?
If I were you I would try re-flashing. Do you have a custom recovery.img? Like Cyan's or Amon-Ra's? If you do, try wipe cache, wipe ext part, wipe cache, and then re-flash. That's always the first thing I do when my phone starts getting buggy.
