quick help please! - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok i installed cyanogens 4.0.1 using the 1 click root method
after flashing the rom, i partitioned my sdcard, but after doing that, i did not reflash my rom. is that bad? everything on my phone seems to be working fine, except the im app and myfaves. should i reflash the rom anyway?
and also, what are the effects of reflashing the rom? does it delete anything? like my settings or something..
thanks in advance!

reflashing the rom will not hurt anything. i think you may need to do it to activate a2sd anyways.
just reflashing the rom will not delete anything

well it seems to be working already so far.. but ill reflash just to be sure. thanks!
oh yeah, and just to be sure, to reflash the rom do i have to download the 4.0.1 again and reflash it using the "apply any update" thing in recovery? basically same way i flashed it in the beggining?

it should still be on your sdcard unless you deleted it off of there. just boot into recovery and flash it.

ok i will.. and btw, can i delete the 2 files in the cmupdater folder? one is the actual file, the other is like some mmds5 or something

just use a file manager (i like Astro) and go to the root of your sdcard and there is folder something like cm-updates. just open it and delete the files inside of it should do it.

ok i did it, THANKS!!!!

no problem glad you got it working

possible to upgrade rom from phone using astro?

Just wondering f pi could download a Rom from your phone delete the old update with astro and then change The name of the Rom to update and wipe and flash. Would this work because it could be helpful when your on the road or vacation.

Yea, any file explorer could be used.
Rename the downloaded update to update.zip and reflash
You got it!

Or... flash the new cyanogen 1.4 recovery which can flash any zip (with proper ROM ofc). No need to rename any more.

Yup, I did it the other day while at a coffeeshop. Downloaded a new rom and reflashed.
Although it would suck if something went wrong while you were out and about and needed to get to a PC to fix it.

As long as you keep a failsafe rom on your sdcard, you can fix pretty much anything from the recovery console.

NS4G theme template
you can use it to deodex stock NS4G, you can use it to wipe a theme to ready your phone for another theme and as a theme template to base your theme off of. have fun..
THIS IS NOT A ROM!!!!!!
it only contains the:
Framework, font , stock apps
its just a template
As always do a backup before you do anything.
You can install through rom manager or through recovery.
how to: hit rom manager icon, thien hit install ROM from sd card, choose zip you want to install, make sure the wipe delvic cache is checked and hit ok.
if through recovery you must mount the system in the advanced menu.

did you make a nandroid before you flashed anything? if so, that will work through the bootloader recovery.

[ROOT]The FLASHABLE zip file for ROOTing Atrix 2.3.4 HKTW

Hi, after test for some times, i made the flashable root package for 2.3.4 (That the device has flash the leaked HKTW 2.3.4 and unlocked the device)
NOTE:
Unlocked Atrix 4G with HKTW 2.3.4
Please flash the CWM recovery first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
You should have a external sd card in your device, because the recovery cann't recognize the internal card

You can flash the official sbf file to restore to origin, like the 1.2.6 sbf

Yeah I think alot of people make that mistake. That's why when people ask I always say make sure to grab the "full" sbf not the service!
Thanks for the zip root method! Much appreciated!

i HATE when pple leave out basic info, i got school work, i cant remember EVERYTHING EVERYTIME.
Hey, so, I ran into a slight problem.. It doesnt actually root the phone... Or so I've found. What happened to me is it worked perfectly, flashed via new cwm nicely, and I had SU in app drawer. I then decided to try and restore my apps via TB, and it doesnt let me batch anything, see anything, etc. It's like I don't have root. Then I tried getting root explorer and it FC's on opening the app. WTF?

This is because you didn't read my post carefully. You should have a EXTERNAL SDCARD in your device first! Because the recovery cann't mount the internal sdcard.

There is another way to check whether the root of your device work or not.
Run cmd in Windows or terminal in Linux.
execute the following cmd:
Code:
adb shell
su -
After you input the "su -" cmd, you should have a dialog to allow root access in your device. I.e, the root works. Otherwise, it doesn't work.
BTW, does your device unlocked and flash the HKTW android 2.3.4 rom?

TOO bad, the zip file should be flashed as the normal way to flash rom.
GOTO recovery then choose this zip file to flash.
BTW, you should copy the zip file to the external sdcard first!

go to Market/Google play and download it free, if not go here >GAPPS-gb
flash that in recovery like you would a rom and it will reinstall it with the other Google Software like Market etc.
if I download from market it shows error like incombitable version.
flashed . no use.
restore backup of rom if u ever made one or if your on a custom rom ie one off here just flash over your rom again without wiping, just flash
I don't have backup right now.
I will update tmro. thanks for ur prompt reply.

I have rooted with m1n 4.7 sense 3.5 ROM.

I flashed the rom with zip thro recovery, I got maps back.

[Q] Vodafone Apps Pre-installed

OK, I tried to find something similar in the forum but i don't find anything.
My problem is: I have a Vodafone I9305 . Originally, just bought it, I had vodafone applications pre-installed. Then i decided to mod the phone.
What i don't understand is: why everytime I install any modified rom (e.g. Pandoriam) the vodafone apps come back?. Before entering the first time in android, appears the screen "Installing Applications:" (My Web, Music Shop, Cloud, Contacts, NOVA3, FIFA12, ecc.).
These applications are in the modded rom (I doubt it) or are somewhere in my phone and when I install the modded rom, this install them too?
Thanks and sorry for my bad English. Carlo.
Have you got google backup set up if so that's probably why they are reinstalling each time you put on a new rom.
Hey,
i'm using a vodafone i9305 too, and i think these apps are stored in the hidden partiton. So make a test at your own risk.
NANDROID Backup (as tar), format hidden partition, flash rom.
I don't take any warranty if your phone bricks.
Also, there must be a routine that checks this partition.

That is impossible because this happens before entering in android first time, so also before setting my google account.

Backup all your data..IMEI...etc... use Megawipe through CWM... and then go into download mode... install new ROM from ODIN... and you will never see those pesky apps again... this is what I did...

No! Don't go formatting hidden partition it has nothing to do with it.
You need to mount pre load and then format that.
Also in system/apps there is a preload installer.Apk, un install this too.
