What roms are you trying to flash? Whats steps are you doing? How do you have your card setup? Just give us some more details.

card is part ext/2 I am on [email protected]#1 I have tried cyan 3.6.5, hero 2.7.4 tried to part card ext/2 with linux swap. standard download rename update flash each time gets stuck on any rom other than jf builds flashed the adp dev1 rom no problem I flashed hero theme no problem hero clocks no problem I have the latest radio spl and cyan 1.3.1 recovery no problem. there has to be something I am missing. My other g1 download flash cyan 3.6.8 no problem I just don't get it I have not had many problems flashing. I have flashed tis phone 5 time yesterday with the same results.
firmware 1.5
baseband 62.5os.20.17h_2.22.19.26i
kernel 2.67.-00392-g8312baf

hope that helps sorry for the lack of info in 1st post

You may need to wipe your second partition. Lucid's script does this for you, just:
Code:
# lucid -c
If done from terminal, you're gonna get a load of force closes, so do it after you have the new update.zip on your SD. Then just wipe and flash. I ran into the same problem and found that the 2nd partition plays a big part (for me, anyway.)

Sounds like your not wiping at all.

it has to be your ext2 or 3 partition then

what about assigning a drive letter to the part?. I have not done that yet i use acronis so it's very simple.

recovery image
What recovery image are you using? Cyanogen's 1.3.1 and new 1.4 images will repair Ur ext2 and even upgrade Ur partition to ext3 witch is heterosexual than the 2. But I don't think JF support ext3 so if u do upgrade Ur partition u will need to choose fifteenth Rom also

I was wondering about that I saw the thread in dev. I am running 1.3.1. Did I see that right the new image does apps2sd is that with any rom? I don't ask any ques. over there. . does that flash like any other recovery? download rec. rename to update and flash as normal?.

i figured it out the part. I had was logical and not primary. I just took the 2 cards and compared them will try flash in the morning

Can i place [Solved] for this thread?

yes thank you!

Upgrading SPL failure

Hiya ppl,
I recentlly rooted my phone and wanted to use teh JACxHERO ROM om my phone so I download the radio 2.22...... and the SPL.
According to the guides you need to do Radio first (update.zip) then SPL (spl_signed.zip). Then do a wipe and load your ROM.
The radio updated fine but when I do the SPL upgrade it is stuck at the G1 T-Mobile screen, or return to the recovery screen.
No matter I tried wiping and updating ROM again with JACxHERO again. Still same issue.
Put back my nandroid backup and other ROM is back. I also noticed that after the wipe all my data is still there nothing changed.
My question:
The radio is up to date. Should I:
wipe
SPL
wipe
ROM
wipe
????????
Thanks in advance
What recovery image are you using, Cyanogens? Is the SPL actually the new one? Hold camera and power when the phone is off and you should come to a white screen with skateboarding androids (if nyou come to a rainbow coloured screen, it didn't work)

Boot into the SPL and make sure it updated (Power + Camera button)
The SPL should be 1.33.2005
If not the SPL did not update correctly (If your using Cyan's recovery, do the SPL upgrade, but reboot pressing Home + Power instead of using the trackball)
If it is 1.33.2005, then try flashing another Hero ROM and seeing if it works
Also, make sure your SD card is clean (wipe your ext partition, you do have one right? )
one of the guides on here says that after you've flashed the new spl, you will get stuck on the g1 loading screen and you need to reflash with the rom you were originally running, let it reboot back into that rom, then try and flash jachero
eg
if you were originally running a cyanogen rom
flash radio
flash spl (then reboot and you will be stuck at the g1 screen)
reflash cyanogen (let it reboot completely)
then flash the jachero rom
that's what i did and it worked for me
I have the Cyanogen recovery 1.4 i Believe (latest and greatest)
OK really wierd indeed i see the android staking funny
This is what is says:
DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA11000)
RADIO-2.22.19.261
APR 20 2009, 15:30:43
HBOOT
<BACK> Fastboot Mode
I enabled fastboot now as well.
Jet when I flas the JACxHERO ROM it is loopt at G1 screen or turn back to recovery.
**Just download all zip's will do it now.
Make sure you have the correct partitions.
So no ROMs will flash?!
I know I have the correct partitions:
ext3 500MB
FAT32 1400 MB
linux-swap 32MB
I can flash others but I want HERO
Its Flashing right now brb with answer
LOL it hangs at the HERO logo

Welcome to Hero builds... they're all going to be slow compared to the Cupcake-based builds, though a lot of tweaking can help somewhat.
Also you have a class 4, a class 6 will help some more.

Help with Cyanogen ROM

Not trying to be dumb but i been using JF 1.5 for like 6 month (completely forgot about xda and android stuff for about 4 month since i busy with school).
So now i got JF 1.5 and i want the new Cyanogen V 4.2.3.1 since i did read alot and seem like the best one for now.
And so i did try to install......for about 4 HOURS.
I tried :
- JF 1.5 -> Cyanogen V 4.2.3.1 = Stuck at the boot screen
- JF 1.5 -> cm-recovery-1.4.img -> signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip -> Cyanogen V 4.2.3.1 = After boot screen (when it suppose to come on the welcome screen) it just turn blank...the screen is one but completely blank.....
- I WIPE again -> HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 -> Cyanogen V 4.2.3.1 = Samething, blank page.
So what did i do wrong? I did do the install of the recovery Img 1.4 and the ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip.
I did wipe everytime i install something.
Sorry for the bothering and noob asking for help but i do need help....i tried my best and sitted here for 4 hours already
And talking about those Guide on WIKI, i tried to follow all of them and still.......only thing i didnt try is reflash, unroot, root again and do the install of new ROM
Is your SD card partitioned correctly?
You need:
FAT32
EXT 2/3/4
Linux-swap
Do you have those three partitions?
If so, did you wipe your EXT partition?

Omg, i only have 1 partition
It Fat32 i believe and i dont know how to make the other
i have the Class 6 8GB though, what shud i do?
Quick update.
I just follow the Stock to Cyanogen Post to upgrade.
I reflash the whole phone, root then Cyanogen again with format 3 Partition of Fat32 (7000MB), ext2 (700MB) and Linux-swap (150MB) and it still doesnt work, stuck at boot screen this time.....i really really dont know what to do now, i tried everything
alright buddy, you don't need to have any ext or linux swap partitions to run cyanogenmod
just make sure you have his recovery image, 1.4, or amon ra's recovery flashed on your phone
now you might as well just flash the haykuro "death/danger" spl to repartition your phone's internal memory. flash the radio before the spl
now go into recovery and wipe data/cache,
follow cyanogen's directions on how to upgrade
flash the adp 1.6 htc recovery image file from the htc site, DO NOT REBOOT
immediately flash the latest cyanogenmod update on top of that, reboot,
it'll give you some stuff about writing the radio, just let it do it's thing
now you're done, boot up
and give it some time.
first boot takes a little bit more
enter your credentials into your phone, let it sync
then reboot again, it lets everything soup together

I just did the exactly same thing u said and it get past the Boot G1 Screen, then pas the Cyanogen Screen then it get stuck at a blank screen again, what wrong with that?
Since you're able to get to the "Cyanogen" screen -- do you have adb installed on your computer? A logcat of what's going on would be useful.
Alternatively; try flashing the "illegal" version of the newest Cyanogen ROM -- the "single flash" update. However, do it a little differently than you'd otherwise expect.
With the old JF 1.5, install Cyanogen Updater from the Market. Download any update -- doesn't matter what; you won't be flashing it.
Download the single-flash version of Cyanogen's actual ROM from the developer forum; and then dump it into the same folder that the CM Updater app dumped to. From within the contextual menu of the CM Updater app, choose "existing update" -- and then flash the single-update version.
//SOMETIMES//, flashing a ROM via the CM Updater will produce different results than flashing it "manually". I have no explanation for why this is, but I /have/ seen it happen.
Hi there,
I too am running JFV1.51 and wish to change to Cyanogen 4.2.15.1.
I have the iamage from HTC but nothing changes when I flash it and attempt to immediately flash Cyanogen over it?
Did you have any luck in resolving this issue/
Many thanks!
You guys that are having issues need to use ddms or adb shell logcat to see whats going on.
Going from Cupcake to Donut is going to change a lot in your phone and will take several minutes to complete. Most of which is in Framework. That Android boot animation that pops up is in there so thus it may seem like it's stuck at the G1 logo. Also you should consider flashing your phone to the newest radio (2.22.19.26I or 2.22.23.02).
ok this is what you really do lol no if ands or butts to this method.

E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
Hi,
Firstly, many thanks!
However, after following this comprehensive and generally straight forward guide I still can't flash the new CM!
I followed all the steps exactly, downgrading to RC7 (I'm in the UK) & re-rooting the phone.
When I reach the stage of flashing Android 1.6 Base Image, the CM ROM & the radio it states:
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
and aborts!!!
I also do not have the option of alt+a only alt+s which is apply sdcard:update.zip
Where am I going wrong? And what should I do?
Thanks,
Joe

If you don't have ALT+A available, you have a recovery loaded other than what the guide says/thinks you should have. Are you using the recovery it suggests? Be it Amon Ra, Clockwork, etc.
Hi,
I was initially running Jesus Freak cupcake 1.5. Now the phone is currently at RC7 and rooted using telnet after starting the whole process again.
I am currently following the guide on the cyanogenmod wiki. I am using the recovery image suggested: CM recovery 1.4 img.
However, when I get to the stage for Flash Android1.6 & CyanogenMod latest I get stuck and states E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip.
All other guides seem to be specific to the US, for example androidhustler. I don't where to go next!
Please help!

i need help any one plz i don't know how to recover my phone its not bricked

now phone in normal boot is stuck on the rogers boot screen
but it still goes into fast boot and recovery Cyanogen v 1.4
but i tried to flash it in fast boot again with the correct method but instead of detection as android phone or htc adp device it detects as android 1.0 Can any one help it would be very helpful
thanks

Easiest solution would be to buy a Micro SDHC card reader typically one that looks like a USB stick. It saves you all the hassle of fast boot and all that junk. My MicroSd card reader has saved me a lot of time when I had to reformat my partions.
U could start 4rm scratch but this time use amon_ra's recovery it works great..plus the same thing happened to me the 1st time i ever rooted (about a year ago) so ur cool. As 4 the 1.6 image use the offcial rom then flash wat u want jus my 2 cents.
ya ik wat u are sayin but see i don't know how to install the base image from the sd card btw i have a sdhc card and the reader

wipe first, then flash the 1.6 image just like you flashed the cyanogen update. after it restarts, hold down home to get back to recovery and flash your cm update. done

This should be a pretty simple fix.
First: Find a Cyanogen 4.0.4 .zip or something that came out about the same time.
Second: Wipe
Third: Flash that image
Forth: Ensure it boots
Fifth: Flash the 1.6 image
Sixth: Go to Cyanogen's or Wes Garner's latest build
Trying a .zip that doesn't require that should fix your problem.

Step 2: Power down device, Power up while holding down the "Home" key, and select "Wipe" or "Factory Reset" which ever is listed in your Recovery Boot.
Step 5: Download THIS IMAGE and then in Recovery Mode flash this .zip
Step 6: Happens w/o a reboot. After flashing Step 5 directly flash @cyanogen's or @wesgarner's ROM
*I HIGHLY RECOMMEND @wesgarner's ROM HERE as it has been faster and much more stable for me than @cyanogen's ROM's lately*

Phone stuck at G1 Screen

Ok, I'm guessing I misunderstood something. I'm a "noob" so bear with me...
here's what I did.
I was running cm v 4.2.9.1 and decided to try and upgrade to the latest version. I wiped and reflashed and got 4.2.14.1 running, but I felt it was slow (the reason I didnt use any other new version), so I came here looking to see any new roms.
I decided KiNgxKxlicK AOSP 2.1 rom looked cool, so I downloaded it and flashed it (yes I wiped first). I'm guessing this is where it went wrong. The rom took 30 mins to finally boot to home (longest ever) but the sweet nexus screen made it easier to bear. I DID NOT do anything with an spl or any radio (that part still kinda confuses me to be honest). I'm guessing this is why I am in the predicament that I am.
The KiNgxKxlicK AOSP 2.1 rom loads fine, but was VERY slow. I decided I'd just go back to cm v 4.2.9.1. I went to wipe and reflash, but the G1 screen never disappeared. I let it load for about 30 minutes and decided that was a bit ridiculous before removing the battery (mind you, it never got past the T Mobile G1 screen). I was, however, able to reflash KiNgxKxlicK AOSP 2.1 rom and run it. This is all I am able to do. When trying to reflash cyonagen it just hangs on the G1 screen.
I'm a noob so I don't know what went wrong or what I missed.
Can someone PLEASE help me out here and tell me what I need to do to fix this. Thanks
Additional Notes:
Can't get to settings running KiNgxKxlicK AOSP 2.1 AT ALL, and a lot of programs Force Close on the rom.
Thanks for any help/input you guys can provide.
Thanks
Do you have Amon Ra recovery?
No I do not believe so, as I am not exactly sure what that is?
UPDATE: I should also note I checked my SPL and Radio, both were very old (as I realized I followed an OLD guide when I rooted my phone)
I upgraded to the latest radio and SPL and still have the same problem...except King's rom doesn't force close when I go to "settings".....thats about the only difference (still slow/laggy, lots of programs still FC)
When you boot into recovery (holding home+power) it should tell you what recovery image you are using. (i.e. mine says v1.5.2 down at the bottom of the screen) I ran into a similar issue when I attempted to jump between roms without taking all the appropriate steps; all I did was reformat my sd card, wipe the phone, and reflashed my rom and it worked great after that.
I tried reformatting my sd card, even re-partitioned it and I'm still having the same problems:
CM wont get past g1 screen after flash, King's rom still pretty slow....
What do you gys recommend I do next? This is getting really frustrating
1st: Check if youre Formatting is correct
2nd: Wipe EVERYTHING
3rd: Re-Format
4th: Try downloading the ROM again. It could be an issue with the ROM's
5th: Check you have proper radio and SPL (1.33.2005 and 26I)
6th: Pray
Try them all hope one of them works for you dude.
why is it that that 99% of newbs are on cyanogen
@Macrophage001
1. how do I CHECK my formatting to see if its correct?
2. Doesn't formatting do this automatically? I also "wiped" in recovery...
4. Not the roms, I have multiple CM roms, one of which I've had for some time with no problems and have re-flashed over and over
5. As stated above, I did not have the latest at first, i did upgrade to the latest radio and hakyuro(sp) spl to no avail.
@zachattack052
We've all been told it's THE BEST, much before even making the decision to root. I honestly thought CM was the only rom available, that's how much he's praised around here and other forums.....it's just what everyone tells us.
Here's what i suggest you do:
1> Download Amon_RA's recovery from here
here is a link to his thread
2> Transfer the file you just downloaded to the root of your sd
use this code to mount your sdcard from recovery console itself if needed
Code:
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
3>Disconnect usb and reboot to recovery (keep home pressed while powering on) or just type
reboot recovery if you are already in recovery console
4> Flash Amon's recovery:
Code:
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img
when complete, reboot to recovery again
5>Partion your sd using amon's recovery (All data on SD will be lost so backup if needed)
[Alt+P] then [Alt+0] or scroll down using the trackball or the volume keys
follow the prompts, set your swap-size to 96 MB (use the vol keys) and 512 MB ext2. when done use the back button to go back and reboot
The above step will give you the partitions required to run any rom. Please make sure you meet the radio and SPL requirements before flashing a rom.
6>Transfer the latest CyanogenMod rom to your SD and flash it.
I would suggest that you try bbuchacher's SuperD rom (it requires Haykuro's Danger SPL)
make sure you flash the radio first and then the SPL if you dont already have it
P.S. When anyone says full wipe, they mean doing a factory reset, wiping your ext partition and wiping the dalvik-cache. These are the first 3 options in Amon_RA's recovery's wipe menu
what i would do....
make sure you flash the HTC recovery files first before you flash the CM rom
go for the defanged version of HTC
so...(once u have amon ra's latest recovery installed)
wipe everything
flash htc / defanged (DO NOT REBOOT!!!)
flash cm latest rom
ALLOW IT TO LOAD FULLY
reboot (personal preference)
create a nandroid backup for future **** ups
enjoy ur rom!!

1: Go to recovery console and type parted. A list will show up with your fat32,ext2/3/4,linux-swap settings.
2: Yes it does but you can never be too sure.
4: ok
thanx guys I followed the instructions MrBurrito and cqms13 gave and am now running the Super D rom just fine.
Thanks again!

Hey guys
I have a t mobile G1 rooted with Danger SPL and (Just Recently Flashed) Amon Ra 1.7.0 Recovery image.
All my troubles started after I saw that Super Froyo had a new bulid of 4.4, so I wiped my system, cache, sd-card, data (But not my boot) with my old Clockwork Mod 2.5.2. Everything went fine and dandy and the new bulid ran nicely, but as I reread over the directions for Super Froyo 4.4 i found that partitioning your SD card would increase speeds on this particular build. So I flashed Amon-Ra's recovery and then I partitioned my SD card to 512MB EXT3 / LinuxSWAP 64MB... After this I encountered alot of FC's.... So i flashed back over to CM6 Stable after partitioning again and now... Im stuck in countless bootloops.
Ive only had a somewhat-firm grasp on rom's so far, but i think my G1 is not technically bricked if i can access the recovery image full menu.
I need help ASAP.
Thanks.

So I flashed Amon-Ra's recovery and then I partitioned my SD card to 512MB EXT3 / LinuxSWAP 64MB... After this I encountered alot of FC's.... So i flashed back over to CM6 Stable after partitioning again and now... Im stuck in countless bootloops.
Ive only had a somewhat-firm grasp on rom's so far, but i think my G1 is not technically bricked if i can access the recovery image full menu.
I need help ASAP.
Thanks.

Do you have adb and fastboot working? You probably need to wipe a little extra. If you have fastboot working-
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
Then in AmonRA wipe everything and reinstall your rom of choice. I would recomend flashing Chromersmiths 4.5. It is complete with gapps so it is harder to screw up.

Actually... I feel kind of stupid right now, im a total noob when it comes to adb/flashbooting... if i have amon's recovery screen fully working, isnt there a way to restore it?
Basically i need an explanation of what ADB/Flashbooting is... Im sorry!!
Also a walk through would be helpful.
If you did one... you would be my hero
Quick Update: I just went on ahead and Flashed CM6 Stable and Gapps
It seems that im stuck in the 2nd boot animation, It just keeps repeating...
If we get past it then I have a working G1.

The adb fastboot instructions at the top of the QA page are really good. It still refers to 1.5.3 but the link to the SDK is still good and the instructions are thorough. It is not a quick process but not hard and you will use adb and fastboot for the rest of your time with android. You will learn lots. I really can't make it any better than that post does it. If you spend an hour and get all that working, you'll be good to go.
Have fun.
Guess What!
I just wiped data using the Amon Ra
Flashed CM6
Gapps.
I have a working G1
Thanks For Your Help Anyway, I would rep you if I could!!!
