Okay so i've been at this some time, following
Guide to root Rogers G1's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532419
now my phone is currently stuck at the rogers screen with the fastboot usb at the top left corner, and i've uninstalled the drivers and re-installed, and when i do the cmd for adb devices
it shows
List of devices attached
^ nothing.
am i installing the driver wrong? its showing on the usb as Android 1.0 after i go and select the x86 driver, currently running windows 7 . If you could please post some help i've been reading since yesterday and can't seem to get passed this issue
i beleieve the main issue would be me not being able to access my sd card, anyway to push a file through onto it somehow via cmd adb ? if so, tips would be great , my sdk is in c:\android\sdk-windows\tools and i have it up and running in cmd. Please help .
Update: i was just able to
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and boot into "Android system recovery<2>
[Home+back] Reboot System now
[alt+s] apply sdcard:update.zip
[alt+a]apply any zip from sd
[alt+w]wipe data/factory reset
[alt+b]nandroid v2.2 backup
[alt+r]restore latest backup
[alt+f] erpair ext filesystems
[alt+x] go to console
now i know the only file on my sd card is the spl renamed to "update.zip"
no rom on it , so how do i get the rom on it from this point? any help would be great, leaving it at this screen until further notice from boards.
also note, bottom of screen says
"Build: CyanogenMod v1.4 + JF

Nothing moving
PLEASE Help :'(
Thanks

I beleive what i've done is erased the default rogers rom on there, and during flash attempt, wiped it, now there is no rom on it , so i have this cyanogenmod 1.4 +JF on here, and can't access my sd card, anyway to do it from the current menu i'm on ?
There is only the spl on my sd card root (update.zip) and no rom at all, nothing else.

could you give me a breif walkthrough on how to short and sweet? i am really afraid to eff this up lol
and if this works, i will send you chocolate and flowers and ask you to marry me. maybe... lol
Edit: Also note i didn't do any backup type before this , i just have the update.zip from the spl, and think i wiped the data, im assuming once i get the sd card up all i need to do is stick the rom update.zip on there, then i can alt+s my way to a new rom, correct?

Maybe.. got my hopes up for nothing.. now i dont want to help.. xD
ok you have The Cyan 1.4 recovery installed right? and apparently your at fastboot after you have flashed the spl or whatever so press the end, menu and talk buttons to get out of fastboot. or just remove the battery doesent matter lol . But before you do that check the spl and make shure its 1.33.2005 to make shure your safe. once you turn the device back on hold the power and home button then recovery should come up. if you have cyan 1.4 recovery you should have a picture of the little android guy in the background lol and if so go all the way down until it says go to console. or just do alt+x. then once your in that screen then press enter once.
once you press enter the screen should have this up #
if so then just type ums_enable then press enter. it should look like this
# ums_enable
wait for a brief second and wallah your sd will mount to your comp. then flash whatever rom you had on before

I have the g1 and am running cyanogen 3.9.10 and I want to add a new recovery image but i cant figure how to "install" it using run commands... i tried home+End and i get to the exclamation point in the triangle thing, then i try to press alt+x and nothing happens.
Also I want to take advantage of the Apps2sd feature in the 3.9.10 version and i dont know how to partition my sd... i dont even know what the difference between the extensions is.
Please help it would be greatly appreciated!

the thread for cyangen's recovery 1.4 should explain how to install the recovery image.
lucidrem has and guide/tutorial on how to split partition your sd and whatnot.
look in the helpful threads link to find what you are looking for.
ext3 is good for a2sd
Put the recovery image on the root of your sdcard go to terminal, type flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery1.4.img or whatever the exact name of your recovery image is. The search for "partitioning from recovery" and follow whichever thread you click on to use parted via recovery console. Sorry would post link but on g1 at work.
hi i tried searching for this but couldnt really find anything on it. i tried updating to the cyanogen recovery.img 1.4 using terminal as the guide said here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533731, however now whenever i boot into recovery, the bootloader screen comes up instead. i have tried reflashing the recovery numerous times but the problem still persists. am i doing something wrong? any help would be great. thanks in advance
also i am rooted currently running JF 1.5 rom with latest radio and hard spl.
Put the recovery image on the SD card yourself. Get the file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523558
i have also tried that. once i placed the file on the sd card, i opened up terminal and typed in the command:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img
after i pressed enter nothing happend on screen, so i turned off the phone and tried to boot into recover, but the bootloader screen still appears. am i typing in the wrong command or something?
Do it again and this time wait for the # to appear again. Then type reboot and hold home button while it's booting. Should take you to Cyan's awesome recovery screen
Good luck
... Have you tried flashing it from fastboot like cyanogen recommended if you ran into any issues?

yeah i did type in su. i have been away for a few days so i ma going to try the suggestions mentioned. and no i havent tried doing it using fastboot as i havent got adb set up yet. i will also try that later. thanks for the suggestions.
I have the same problem. When holding power+home, it flashes t-mobile G1, then the screen disintegrates and it reboots a couple times, finally stopping on a blank black screen.
I have no problem booting straight into the O.S., I've just lost my recovery.
I've done this before and it worked, but I recently had a catastrophic failure and had to start from scratch.
If all else fails or you don't fell like using adb, should be fine if you downgrade and re-root, etc.... unless there is something else messing up your recovery partition.
Put the recovery.img file on the root of your sdcard
Then try:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system
cat /sdcard/recovery.img > recovery.img
flash_image recovery recovery.img
I've gone from JF 1.5ADP to Modaco using the cyanogen 1.4 recovery without any problems.
when you flash using terminal, you need to wait till you get the # back, and then restart the phone
which recovery image were you previously using as I was using JF 1.43 recovery

Hi djosiah
did you read this post ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4569666#post4569666
(Please substitude by the file name "update-cm-4.0.4-signed.zip" by "cm-recovery-1.4.img" in my post - sorry, I was misaken as to the file name ...!!)
My problem was a corrupted cm-recovery-1.4.img (a few thousand bytes of the MBs were missing ...!) A new downloaded cm-recovery-1.4.img (from another URL) solved the problem finally. The rest was cream - totally happy now.
Good luck!
My problem was solved.
Unroot the phone
reformat sd card using gparted live cd to fat32
redo root
flash new radio
flash new spl
flash cyanogen rom
flash cyanogen recovery

Hello!
I followed this guide and read the comments of everyone, and it's a reliable guide to rooting and installing a new ROM. The rooting went perfect, so I decided to go further and load cyanogen's latest ROM.
Power off your phone.
Boot into recovery mode. (Press and hold the Home key, then hit the power button).
Before you flash a rom file, perform a wipe. Press Alt+W to wipe the data and cache folders. You must wipe when going form different builds of Android.
Wait for the wipe to finish and the recovery image to display again, then select “apply any zip from sd”. Flash the zip file of your choice.
After flashing any zip you should be able to reboot your system and watch it load to the home screen.
After changing Android builds, it came take several minutes for the first boot. If you phone hangs on the animated Android logo, this is because you did not perform a wipe. If you are stuck in a boot loop, return to the recovery image and make sure you wipe.

-Taken from the guide
At the first time I rebooted it took me back to recovery, so using logic I rebooted again and now it is stuck at the T-Mobile G1 screen (the one before it normally shows the android)...
I know it's supposed to take several minutes.. but 30minutes is ridiculous -.-"
Can somebody please help me out before I do something stupid and remove the battery? Thanks so much..
You need to read a bit more then, because you would have learned that you have to install the 1.6ADP fro Htc before installing a cyanogen rom, that is one of the things you would know if you followed the guide in his thread...
-Best Regards

Don't think so It didn't say anything in this guide about that and several comments below recently show that they succeeded with the process..

You have to listen to cyanogen plus that might be a different rom like enom or something.Cyanogen has a different maybe tricky install method.
You need to goto his thread.
-Go to http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
-DL the 1.6 "recovery image" the file name is - signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip
-Then DL CyanogenMod-XXXX
-put them both on your SD card
-Boot up into Amon_RA recovery by rebooting and holding the home button, do a wipe.
-update using any zip to that "recovery image" (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip)
(it should auto reboot install radio then reboot again and load back up to the CMrecovery img screen)
-Then update any zip usig CyanogenMod (update-cm-xxxx-signed.zip)
-Then reboot the phone
Thanks a lot man.
I found the 1.6 ADP file and I have it downloaded onto my computer. Is there anyway I can put this on my SD card? It won't let me.. :/ If I could somehow get this on there, run it.. and THEN run the cyanogenrom.zip I think it could work again?
You need to delete the partitions with console while in recovery mode.
1.console
3.parted dev/block/mmcblk0
4.print
rm 1
rm 2
rm 3
quit
reboot recovery
Dont rename any of the files just leave them.
Now try it on your pc.

Thanks a lot for the help, I really appreciate it.
I took your advice and did those steps and it rebooted me into recovery like you commanded. I plugged it via USB into my computer hoping that the computer would recognize it and let me put the file on the SD card - but to no avail.
What is the next step I can take?
http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
I loaded the radio first...
and then I loaded the SPL...
and then I loaded the ROM...
I didn't go out of order. Was the problem that I didn't have the 1.6 ADP on my SD?
@Ace42: If I get a card reader and add the 1.6 ADP (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip) to my sd card.... and load it. Can you tell me what to do from there?
Do I load that zip and then reload the ROM?
You may want to try Dwang1.13 rom. I don't think his rom requires the extra step to get the google apps.
my hero has keeping restart .
the list what i do :
1 . update 2.1rom
2.SPC --unlock
3.write the esn and imsi and a-key

reflash your recovery image via adb, and nandroid back!!
somebody told me try the ruu1.29,to Resume Original state,it seems 2.1 rom can lower to 1.56,but can't to 1.29 .
another details :my phone restart ,first display:"no service",if the Problem is the signal module, or it was bad ESN? Lead to restart the phone non-stop?

This is how to do it. Download a recovery image (Amon_Ra, ClockworkMod, GodSpeed), name it "recovery.img" and put it on the root of your SD card. Then, run these commands (i'm assuming you have ADB).
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery.img
reboot recovery
It will be slow in the flash_image command, don't freak.

yes.i copy the recovery.img to the sdcard
maybe i used <RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_1.56.651.2_signed_release> damaged the recovery mod.
so back when i had 1.5 on my hero i had no problem at all installing roms. so when i updated to 2.1 stock awhile back i tried to root it and install a rom on it with the command prompt and unevoked method. it got it rooted and when i got to the recovery menu i nanidroid backedup and wiped and installed it. it then got stuck on the htc boot screen so i tried different rom and still would hang on it. so i said screw it and stayed on stock. i then later used the unlock univeral to root it but i can not stand the stock rom it is so slow and lags so i tried the offiical htc update from .6 to .7 to see if it would be faster but once it downloaded and i pressed install it would yet again hang on the htc screen. i cant even make calls with out lagging. so i tried once more to install 2.2 on it with a recovery img. i download rom manger and put froyo on the sd card but it would yet again hang when i click install rom from sd card. what do i do?!!!!!
update: i tried doing it through the teminal but it say flash_recovery not found
so i tried to do it through rom manger and it did the back up and installed it through the recovery menu but once it was done and rebooted it yet again is stuck on the htc boot screen.
help please!
It might b the recovery ur using if your able to boot into any rom access terminal you can get it from the market try to flash a different recovery I recommend.

I recommend you boot into recovery - wipe your system / cache / dalvik cache and then flash the 2.2 rom of your choice -
if you were just flashing rom after rom without flashing then that could be a lot of your troubles -
also - you mentioned that the recovery file was not found on your sdcard - did you remember to unzip it first before attempting to flash it through terminal emulator? because it wont work otherwise ...
if you have extracted it to the root of your sdcard you shouldnt have any trouble
type
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/nameofyourrecovery.img
reboot recovery
and you should be good to go - let me know how you do and we'll see if we can't help you further if needed
good luck!

you said that you are doing this in a terminal window? (i am assuming that is on the phone) is your phone connected via usb to your computer? is the sdcard mounted by the computer? if it is unplug the usb and try again. if the computer has mounted the sdcard you can't access it from the phone.
i dont have it plugged in when i use the terminal on the phone

ok just checking.... that was the only thing that i could think of that would stop you from reading the sdcard.
It may sound silly, bt when I do it I always make sure I account for case sensitivity...
Like flash_image recovery /sdcard/RA-Darchstar.img
Have you tried that?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
yep make sure everything that has a capitals in it i capitalized in the terminal
this may sound silly as well.. sometimes when i use adb to push i mistype the location for example: adb push myfile.ext /adcard
everything goes fine until i go to find the file....
don't know though.
i still can't figure out how to install a custom rom.
Try backing up you sd and reformatting it on ur pc then just place the recovery img on your sd and nothing else then try to flash it good luck feel free to pm me I know how u feel man so if I can help I will good luck
