Before I hack.... - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just have one question before i start hacking. I have a 4gb card, but im about to get a 16gb card soon. You think I should wait until i get the 16gb card and hack it??? And would the phone still be rooted if I were 2 change the memory sticks??? Would i have to partition the 16 gb card also??

Waiting is up to u. As for any memory card yes u should partition them. If u can get a class 6 card its faster so it will help reduce the lag. If u dnt wait it will be hard without unbuntu to pull the apps and dalvik off the partition

Also no if if u switch the sd after root u will not lose it.

Edit: I'm late.

ok, soo im going to wait. any recommended roms i should try???

try reading a how-to,
cynagon is usually the rom to go with,
i think there is a database of all the roms that compares them too

When I try to format the disk on my computer, it disconnects and it says "There is no disk in drive G, enter a disk and try again". Also, when i connect my G1 to my computer, it says "Scan and Fix", or "Continue without scanning" and when i try to Scan and fix, it also disconnects the G1. What seems to be the problem??

Can't i just format the card using a card reader, then move onto rooting it???

Just do it in windows with it inside your phone...
[EDIT:] Didn't read enough. Yes you should be able to use a card reader to format.

Ok, this is my last concern, and i will stop bugging you guys. Soo far, i've successfully rooted the phone, flashed the radio(it now says 2.22.19.26I), and i flashed SPL. Everything with the phone is fine. My question is, do i have to flash the radio and spl everytime i want to flash a rom??? or do i flash the spl and then flash the rom???

never mind guys. im officially running cyanogen on the phone. looks good soo far. thanks 4 all the help

If you've already flashed the Radio/Spl, then all's you need to concern yourself with is roms, since the Radio/Spl stay even after the recovery alt w. You are done flashing the Radio/Spl, until Donut?

CRC1 rooting....

Hey guys im looking to root my G1 (UK) am i safe to do it even though ive recently updated and my build number is CRC1? im really wanting my phone to appear to have the hero interface so am i correct in thinking that i just need to root it, apply Cyanogen's Recovery and then run the latest JAChero ROM? thanks - Adam
You'll have to downgrade to RC7, then root, then update your radio, then update your SPL, then update your ROM.

You can go ahead and format your SD card, there is nothing on there that gives root "permissions". Make sure you only format the FAT32 partition though and not the EXT partition because you will lose Apps 2 SD if you did that step already. If you didn't partition your SD card yet in preparation for your Hero build, and have no idea what I'm talking about, you can still format it and not lose root or ROMS lol
I have a crc1 version, but i don't know which version if UE or US. Immagine US because is from there. The procedure is the normal one, installing the RC29 or RC7? Which one of thos i have to install, the RC29 or the RC7?
Thanks a lot in advance.

hey guys i'm trying to root my phone first time
i've moved DREAIMG.NBH, recovery.img and update.zip to sd card and then turn off my phone. Then i hold camera button and press power button to entry bootloader mode and i got the message checking.......and then "not allowed"
where's the problem,
i have CRC1 firmware 1.5, Germany T-mobile
^ try doing the .nbh file by itself first, on your SD card that is formatted to Fat32. Then reboot, delete this file from your SD, then add the other files to the SD card. Follow the guide, it will not fail you.
with that said, you should find cyanogens image file... it is pretty awesome. ver 1.4.
nothing again,
i did as you said and again i've got messag. when reboot "not allow"
here is spec:
DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.96.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
whats the next, can u help me?
did you get the correct .nbh file (RC29 is for the US only, RC7 is for the UK)
Did you format your SD card using your computer to FAT32?
Did you copy the correct .nbh file to the SD card (that was blank... no folders, nothing on it)?
:edit added:
Just saw the other info you posted... have you already installed the new radio and SPL? I do not know if the order of things matter.... but it does not follow the instructions for rooting. If you have already done that, you may need to look for the more experienced people on here to chime in.

G1 to Hero Firmware?

I haven't messed with root or any type of firmware in a while.
I have a G1 with firmware 1.5 CRB43 and kernel 2.6.27.24.
I was wondering about that new HERO firmware that was released recently that is supposedly really fast, is it possible to flash this onto a G1? Does anyone here use it, if so how do I upgrade to it.
I find the android development section really messy and hard to understand, there is so many versions of everything and its pretty overwhelming - if anyone could help it would be appreciated

Yes this is possible. I'm currently running JACxHEROSki-v1.8 with no problems, other than typical HERO issues. [No Blue Tooth] Make sure you do your research.
I. 3 Part partition your sd card. (FAT32, EXT3/EXT4, Linux-Swap 64 or 96MB)
II. Install latest Radio
III. Install latest SPL
IV. Wipe Phone
V. Install Hero Rom
VI. Bliss!

you're last step is so optimistic. you might want to include though that if there was a cupcake rom installed and a2sd was previously running that a wipe of the ext3 is needed as well.
@gt5oh
you need to wipe your ext3 partition any time when switching between a hero and cupcake rom. or at least the app_s folder and dalvik cache
Ive never had my SD card partitioned - I have a class 6 8gb card - how do I split it 3 ways like mentioned above?
(no wonder I get so much lag, everything is running off my phone memory and not my SD card..)

Im sure you can also find a guide inside of these forums as well, but I used this one. Very simple, with pics too. If your thinking about running HERO, just make sure your Linux-Swap is around 64-96MB. I run mine at 128MB linux-swap and I have no HTC loading screens or lag what so ever.
wow that first guide is huge..
My phone is already rooted, I have an older hacked version of the 1.5 firmware - where should I start from if I want to go to the new Hero firmware (Whos firmware should I DL there is a million threads?)

Dude, I saw .exe and I was like . Im thinking to myself, where did he get these from. Most ROM, SPL, RADIO, AUDIO, THEME etc are .zip
those were on engadgnet, are there any roms based on that new firmware yet? its supposed to be really smooth
Im pretty computer savy and I still cant figure out where to get started on updating my phones firmware to a fast Hero build.
I need to get the ball rolling and everything I read just confuses me more, there seems to be a million ways to do everything - does anyone have a solid guide that worked for them?
you're making this so much harder than it really is
partition your sdcard (fat32, roughly 500mb ext3, linux-swap)
(if it is already partitioned wipe your ext3 partition with mke2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 )
put the hero rom on your phone. i hear the newest jacski is good or akiarah
wipe your phone
flash the rom
reboot
give it a while to boot up, then give it a while to start the setup wizard (basically go make a sandwich and eat it)
set up your phone
yay you now have hero. (if you're me, 30 minutes later say screw this and go back to cyanogen's rom)

Yep, no Hero rom is stable enough if you actually need your phone out in the wild to function near perfectly. If you rely on it for anything business related then stick with cyan or xrom.

:( Random Problem......Help, Please! :(

Right then,
Already searched on this one and not yet seen a solution to my problem. I own a T-mobile G1 and my phone crashes after it has booted up, or will not boot up properly: either the T-mobile G1 screen stays on for 5-6 seconds then I get a black screen, or it boots up then freezes with a black screen, or it won't switch on at all.
I currently have:
T-Mobile G1 with Root
2.22.19.26I radio installed
1.33.2005 "Death" SPL installed
Amon_RA's RA-v1.2.3 recovery installed
MghtyMax "What a feeling" 1.9.1 Hero ROM installed
fat32, ext3 and linux-swap on class 6 8Gb sdcard
I can get to recovery (sometimes.....it doesn't always get that far) and fastboot, so hopefully it's not bricked. I have already tried wiping (ALT+W) and formatting the ext2 (from the option in RA's recovery menu and also via console); removing all the partitions and starting afresh recreating them (after removing them of course), and as I can get to recovery (sometimes) I have tried flashing a different ROM (SENSEhero 1.3.3 unthemed) but still get the same issue.
I have flashed quite a few ROMs recently and not had any issues, so any help on this one would be most appreciated!

well trying to solve the problem by trying another sdcard is not a fix... since some roms do rely on the ext contents for things to work properly. what i suggest is having the 3nd card completely wiped and partitioned correctly..then move a rom onto the card and flash like u normally would.
Thanks for the info.
That was one of the first things I tried. I managed on Tuesday to install AOSP_ADP_1.6_r1.2_DRC92_rooted_base_v2.zip, and it worked for a short period of time, but it now crashes or doesn't boot up.

Something may be wrong with the phone itself
Try flashing the RC29 and seeing if the problem persists. if it does, then its probably a hardware problem. You can talk to tmobile or HTC about it and see what they say

Thanks for that. I assume if they ask me to return it to them to reflash the original bootloader and recovery screens so that they cannot tell I've been "playing" with my phone...
Haha well once you flash the RC29 you wont have to because it will all be stock. If Tmo replaces phones for missing text messages, which is for sure a software problem (yes ive seen them do this), then they definitely will for this issue.

If I flash RC29 (or RC7 for me) will this brick the phone as I currently have Death SPL. I'm sure I've read that somewhere on here?
Unrooted.......
I've now reverted back to RC7 (as I'm in the UK) and all seems okay....for now.
I will run it like this for a day to see if it still crashes or does anything funny. If it doesn't, I will re-root and start again!
Thanks for the help with this. I will update if it continues to crash.
Alright lets hope this fixed it lol
also it may be a little late but you should be fine flashing the RC7 as it replaces the SPL and radio

Now this is interesting, RC7 was fine. Re-rooted the phone, fine. Flashed AOSP_ADP_1.6_r1.2_DRC92_rooted_base_v2.zip ROM, fine. Flashed Amon_RA's v1.2.3.img recovery, fine. This is where it gets fun, partitioned my card within the recovery to FAT32, ext2 and linux-swap, then rebooted into recovery. The phone crashed. So, I thought there must be an issue with the sdcard. Put in the stock 2Gb card with the RC7 DREAIMG.nbh file on and pressed camera+power to go back to RC7. It came up with an red code 00058002, then went back to the bootloader screen. It stated at the top that it was an EVT board. Searched all of the Dream Q&A section for EVT and absolutely nothing. Tried going into bootloader again and that screen started to warp and the graphics and pixels started to jumble up.
Any ideas?
wow.....it changed board types on you?
did you manage to flash cyan at all before that happened?
you should flash cyan and boot on it before flashing amonra's recovery.
you can then flash the recovery then partition the card and wipe just to be safe

I flashed the AOSP_ADP_1.6_r1.2_DRC92_rooted_base_v2 ROM and booted it up fully. Then using the Terminal Emulator within Dev Tools I flashed Amon_RA's recovery. All went well until I partitioned the sdcard. It won't boot up at all into the home screen or recovery, just bootloader, although it did this before when it first started crashing. I'm gonna leave it tonight and try again tomorrow.
Do you know anyone else on here who has any idea on this one? Seems like I'm the first!
This is probably an issue with the recovery itself...though ive never read about anything like your having.
ill bump this thread and see if anyone can help...maybe david can (ill tell him to get on here)
why dont you give a differant recovery image and dont try to partition just try with a fat32 sdcard on a cyan rom or something see what happens with that

Need help for MT3G

Hey all, I need some serious help for my Mytouch3G. My MT3G just stays at boot screen all the time now every time I flash a custom rom. The last rom that worked for me was Super D 1.6 blk and other roms before that. I don't know what's wrong now, I tried using my Nandroid restore, wiped everything, other roms. I even tried re-rooting, so I had to go back to stock (which worked so I know it's not bricked).
I know this is the G1 Q&A but I since MT3G is compatible with most roms I posted here.
Also, I can boot into recovery and fastboot. Please help? All I want now is to go back to Super D 1.6 .
Try re-rooting the phone.
you probably dont have the latest radio ,and (or) spl, also make sure you wipe before flashing.
Do you have apps on sd card? If you do - you may need to reformat your EXT, regular wipe doesnt to it. And yes, you do need correct SPL and radio.
Good luck.
I would also try posting in the correct forum next time. This is the Dream forum, I don't care how close they are in specs and such, this is the dream forum. There is a magic forum for you to try out next time

You should wipe via Amon_Ra when going rom to rom and wipe before using your backups.
There is no reason for foul language either

After installing a new rom my phone freezes at the 2nd load screen

I did everything right and after I reboot when in safe mode, it loads the "tmobile G1 screen but the 2nd load screen loads forever and does not change. I waited over an hour last night and it did not finish loading.
Should be in Q&A mate.
What rom ? what version ? what does it say if you run a logcat.
Try reflashing it via the recovery console.
safe mode refers to windows and recovery mode is the one your talking about.You should at least give other info like your SPL,radio,ROM,recovery,etc..
The ROM is SuperD192
using latest spl and radio
is there any other roms that you recommend?

Flash the rooted base, then flash the expansion from the above link
This is what i did in order.
1. formatted SD card
2. ran the recovery
3. rebooted in recovery mode and flashed the radio
4. rebooted again and flashed the spl.
5. rebooted and flashed the ROM

At least you can read cause most people flash the SPL then radiod and get a nice paper weight to display.Get Amon_RA:

After updating to that wipe everything then flash Super-D.

the latest spl and radio you say.............
and how do we now you didn't do something stupid and use the wrong ones?
is it too much to post at least the version numbers?
--
but anyway,
take out the SD Card, and open it on your computer
copy all the files into a new directory call my Phones SD card
now put it back in the phone
go into recovery
somewhere in the Recovery (I'm not going to give any specifics, which is tbh only fair cos you didn't give any. )
is format/part SD Card, do it ....
swap size,,, I duno, 32mb,64mb, 96mb? up to you...
Ext2 errm 512mb is good
rest is fat32
now, put your ROM on the sd card , and flash it
...
next time Wipe Data/cache , Dalvik-cache, sd:ext before you flash the ROM
Oh and do a nandriod back up BEFORE you wipe Data/cache , Dalvik-cache, sd:ext, before you flash the ROM and might be a good idea to read up next time before you Wipe Data/cache , Dalvik-cache, sd:ext before you flash the ROM Oh and do a nandriod back up BEFORE you wipe Data/cache , Dalvik-cache, sd:ext, before you flash the ROM
so i am going to use this as a recovery instead? and just follow the same steps i did in the past?
Pm me, I'll walk you through sorting this out in simple plain english.

do you honestly expect an answer?
YOU HAVE NOT SAID WHICH RECOVERY YOU ARE USING?
sorry for the caps, but come on, this is't about being new to rooting, this is being new to common sense
1/ which recovery
2/ which radio
3/ which SPL
4/ which ROM
you could cheat by posting a link to the guide you followed
if it was written on the back of a beer mat, take a pic of it
I'm sorry for being so rude, I am actually trying to help you
people will be able to answer your questions better if you give information..
I am pleased to say he is now up and running.
And to the senior members on this thread take your heads from up your arses. **** we were all new once and just waffling **** at someone loaded with jargon and expecting them to understand is a ****in joke.
I have to say I'm very disappointed to be classed as the same as you people and apologies for the language but some people need telling straight. Go get over your ****in selfs!
If ANY of you had given him a chance you would have found him to be a great guy that listened to instructions and had a fairly good understanding for someone so new.
You so called 'Senior Members' disgust me. *Le Sigh*
