Im trying to mod/root my g1 and started downgrading to RC29 but when I try to format my SD card I get an error "There is no disk in drive H:. Insert a disk and try again".
Any ideas why the G1 is unmounting me not allowing me to format?
It could be a problem with the rom it's self. Try using an SD adapter and format it that way. I had some problems when I first rooted my phone and the adapter helped.
Whenever you try and format/chkdsk/any windows task it seems on a mounted sdcard, it does that. I ended up using a card reader.

Notice he conveniently skips it out the video though I never had any success, and even now when I try it it just unmounts immediately. I know tutorials say it, but I've never managed it .

I am unable to root my G1 at all. I can not get it to load any of the "root" files. It is a PVT board. Everytime I go to load the DREAIMG.nbh, it just does nothing.
Anyone got suggestions? I need to be able to flash the custom roms. It is a T-Mobile model. I have tried multiple SD cards already. I am getting a bit annoyed.
I do a lot of stuff with the Tilt and Android personally. This is seriously baffling me.
Thanks for any help.
try redownloading the img
are the sdcards class 6?
are u getting into bootloader mode correctly (camera + power)
what are you currently running?
more details
Try to use the guide in my sig. Its much quicker
As said above, more details are needed.
Try redownloading the file, and copying it over to the SD card again. If you are using the USB cable that came with the Dream, be aware that every one I've seen does NOT have a ferrite bead on it. This causes problems and can corrupt the file.
If you know how, md5sum the file on your PC and after copying it.
Does any error come up in the bootloader when you try flashing it?
K, I am using a DREA100
I did not use a usb cable (used a sd card reader)
I get "image not found" or something to that nature in the boot loader then it goes to strips.
I have dealt with HTC for a LONG time...I have been doing it since the Apache. I never could get this to work.
Yes I am using Class 6 cards. I do IT development and I need the speed.
I will try the suggested guide.
Thanks for all the help. I didn't realize there was an easier route. Also I was actually going to message you david, but I didn't want to feel like a complete noob haha.Thanks again.

You might want to also check the spelling. It sounds silly, but you'd be surprised, I've done it myself.

I even tried the kit thing, but in the end, nothing beats an easy APK. As I said, I do a lot of work with the kaiser. This was not NEW to me, but the G1 is not known territory for me.
Hi All, I have just got a t-mobile G1, I cant get it to connect to the pc. I have tried everything. The only way i've found is to use the sdcard on my pc & place it back on the phone. When I mount the sdcard on the phone the pc doesn't reconize it. I want to be able to try new roms and themes. Any help?
Thanks
I had the same problem before. It turned out that it was a bad sd card. It would read fine in a card reader but not in my phone. I just ended up buying a name brand sd card and it's worked fine since then.
Are you sure its not an issue of the usb drivers?

Did you see my help LINKS thread lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063843
AFAIK you need the sync, cuz it gives you drivers, but there's many ways, go click around in my thread and after you get the basics done post back in here. It does sound like your sd card is borked though, if windows won't even format it. Are you s-off? Probably not Can you get to ADB? does it recognize your phone?
WAIT.... you can use recovery? Just grab another sd card and flash from scratch, no RUU, no nand restore, scratch, it should work.
If your s-off try reflash your recovery. If your not s-off then you should be. Then try to reflash your recovery.

Yeah after I posted that I remembered you were actually talking about recovering lost data on an sd, oops.
Just wanted to elaborate a little on this in case anybody searches for help and lands here.
The 'LINKS' thread Duce provided contains a link to an RUU (windows executable) which only requires the Android USB Driver is installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=800586
You can download an Android USB Driver package separately.
You can also find the HTC Android USB Driver here (bottom of page).
I have used this many times, even on computers without AndroidSDK installed, just the driver package (I keep a zip on my SDCard ~8 MB).
wouldn't know of a way to fix my sdcard would ya

You might try and boot into a Linux Rescue Disk (i.e. RIPLinuX - (Bootable ISO X-Version))
Search right-click menu for GParted.
Run GParted, delete the partition(s), rebuild partition table, format new partition(s).
All this is done right in the GParted UI, just a few clicks.
This might help fix your problem, not really sure.
ive alway used my old mt3gs 4gig sd card.
Ok, I am trying to reflash the motorola droid. Using rsd lite, & 2.2 sbf for the droid.
Everything seems like it's working at first but then it gets to 92% complete.. & then switches to BP bypass. & ends up failing.. when i put the battery in the phone it is immediately in the bootloader & says code corrupt. How do i get it to complete without error?? Also.. can you reflash without a sd card?? or do you have to have it in? Thanks in advance.
I don't think the sdcard or lack of has anything to do with it. But the process can be very finicky.
Are you using a USB hub or connected directly to your PC. What version of RSD Lite are you using?
hi have the same problem, help us
I think you need the SD card in. Can't remember where I read that, though.
Hmm... Poor memory, maybe I'm thinking of a G1.

I can't help without you helping me. Answer the questions I asked.
Was running CM7 for ages, have recently gone back to Official, then upgraded to the Official ICS.
Have noticed over the last 6 months or so, that when plugging the phone into my pc, it has gradually more often than not, stopped giving me the option to mount the sd to the pc. Have tried different cables/different debugging settings, setting different mount options (in ICS), to the point now that I haven't had the option to mount the sd for a number of weeks....
Anyone else having this? Beginning to think it may be a hardware fault...
Thanks.

Started having the prob when I was running CM7...
And not exactly sure that if this problem persists, I can actually connect to anything TO flash a new ROM....
Airdroid is a much better solution than getting an SD card reader.
Thanks.

well but with airdroid you cant format you sd... This would be an option too. Backup with Airdroid and format SD completely
Beginning to think my hardware is almost shot... Well, bits of it.
Trying to connect the phone to the PC(s), get NO response when plugging USB cable(s) in. No reaction from device manager, etc.
Installed the latest AIO P990 Toolkit, and no recognition when trying to do various things with that.
Camera is also now not working ("camera has stopped unexpectedly, need to restart"...)
Suggestions anyone?
Thanks.
