Nothing found using search.
I cant get into [Home+Power] stays at G1 screen. Other then that it does power up and go into phone. and [Power+Camera] works. Any help how to fix this ?

you probably need to reflash your recovery image. the thing that sucks is that the recovery image links are down so if you don't have a copy of it, well you can imagine....

Can you give me a link to one ? And tell me how to reflash ?
And BTW , you seem to always be there , big thanks man.

yeah, seems like you'll need to reflash the recovery.
I actually have a saved copy of the 1.4 recovery, if you give me your email i can send to you. the instructions to install it are on the original thread, here.

A question ?
For the past 1hrs ive been trying to get my phone to work. I installed cynogens recovery image 1.4 and after that tryed installing a theme and got a black screen i then notice it was because i didnt remove the icons b4 this. I was stuck cause i didnt have an sdcard reader so ive been using my cousin LG phone to transfer my data to the sdcard. So i tryed re-flashing the rom (Cynogen 4.0.4) with wip. Still got the black screen. Tryed a new rom (JACxHEROSki-v2.1) with wip , goes pass the G1 screen to the aqua blue cynogen android scate board screen to the black screen. Help ?
MOD EDIT

you might want to avoid constantly opening new threads, especially one that just has "?" in the subject; this one might get closed.
if your sdcard is partitioned correctly for cyanogenmod (ext2/ext3 - fat32) then you'll probably need to wipe the ext2/ext3 partition and wipe then reflash the rom. I haven't gone to a HERO rom yes myself, so i'm not sure if there is another step involved for that.

Ive never partitioned for Cynogen i have a clean 1g no partitions. Its always worked for me.

Im assuming that you didnt create a nandroid backup when you installed the recovery image? and let's both assume since you had Cyan running before that you have the correct Radio and SPL images.
ok, if you have no partitions we can skip a couple of steps.. try this, connect your phone to youe PC, boot into recovery with Home & Power and type the following commands.
alt&X to enter console
push enter
ums_enable
this will mount your sd and open it on your PC so you can verify that you have the correct update.zip on the root of your SD.
ums_disable
reboot recovery
alt&W
alt&S
If you are going to start flashing roms you really want to consider getting a bigger SD card, my nandroid backup is like, 900mb and without that it's kinda like playing russian roulette with your phone. I hope this helps.

FYI Start stating a short clip of your issue in the title of the thread.
Most likely if you don't, either:

TRhink of it this way, people here are busy.....they would like to know what they are gonna head into prior too opening a thread

You can go in the nandroid folder and delete old backups, folder names have dates. You can also store all of the folders and put them on your sdcard as needed, Nandroid only uses the one with the newest date anyways.

Hey no problem, I'm glad things worked out for you.

Rooted, but no recovery

I have a rooted G1 with CM 4.0.4, as I have been unable to upgrade without cm's new recovery image. But in my pursuit of installing this, I have encountered a new problem. I don't have any recovery image! When I try to boot into recovery, it reboots once after the G1 screen and then goes to a blank screen, where it eventually just turns off. Any ideas on how I can get cm 1.4, or any recovery for that matter? Oh, and I used to have a recovery image (jf 1.43 I think) but I somehow lost it. I then had some weird one that wasn't from a specific developer, and was feature limited. Now I don't have one at all, and really want to get to the newest rom. Please help me!

Have you tried puting the recovrey image on you sd and flashing from terminal

just check cyanogenmod.com website and goto wiki and read on how to install cyanogen's or amon's recovery image

yeah..ill be that guy this time...
wRong section fool I pity you, use Q & A....

I've tried all that, and at least twice or three time each.

If you cannot boot into regular recovery, your best bet would probably be holding camera and power button together (bootloader)... if you can do that then you should be able to use the recovery image (rc 29) you used to root your phone to restore the recovery... It will no longer be rooted after recovery is done but you can always just reroot the phone... hope that this helps

And sorry for posting in the wrong section, I'm not exactly sure where everything is supposed to go yet, and I thought this was the right area. My bad.

Heh I was just joking... its only a matter of time befor a XDA bully comes n makes you feel like crap. Because they been using this site for years. N think they are better then us XDA noobs..... n e ways good luck with your issue!

any recovery problems can usually be solved by this:
# cat /sdcard/recovery.img > /system/recovery.img
whereas /sdcard/recovery.img refers to the file you want to use

it's strange that you would refer to them as a bully simply for enforcing rules that no one seems to follow .. everyone has been asked to post general questions to the Q&A and specific questions to the appropriate thread that has already been started

Did you let the HTC recovery image boot all the way . The one you have to install before installing Cyanogen 4.2.5. You should of lost root d/t this. When you try and pull up recovery is there a phone with a "!" ? If so try Atl L or Alt S to see if it pulls up anything.
Also do you have the newest Radio? ( could be the issue also )

[Q] WOW! Need Help... Boot Animation is stuck

ok so i did the one click root method tonight... so after i flashed clockwork and downloaded the cyanogen mod rc1 it told me to do a back up and reboot phone.. it rebooted and it goes into the boot animation screen.. it does the regular X color of the nexus then turns to the blue x .. after a few blue x's it stops then acts like it resets and goes back to the regular color, then back to the blue one..
it repeats itself over and over again.. been doin it for quite some time now.. like over three hours.. i pulled the battery and tried again, same thing..
im really really concerned about my phone now..
is there anything i can do??
please help me.. thanks

did you do the backup? Did you wipe prior to install? Did you use Rom Manager by any chance?

yes i did a back up.. and yes i used ROM manager... BUT i just now found out where the back up was.. i got thru! im going to try another recovery image and a diff rom..

ok, Amon_Ra is the one I prefer, I used it to flash CM6 RC2 only 4 hours ago.
-Cheers, good luck

ok thank you very much! is that image in rom manager?
can you also tell me what you did please... step by step..? i never done this b4 lol

sure, its very fresh (im probably only 24 hours ahead of you since my first root)
This should work, If anyone would like to double check this please feel free, I would hate to give someone bad info to go on.
so after clockwork gave me some issue to say the least i decided to go with Amon_Ra.
1)Shutdown
2)press power button and trackball at the same time
3)use vol-up and vol-down select "bootloader" using power button to select
4)then select "Recovery"
5)should now say clockwork on the bottom(trackball for movement and select in this menu) If it does not say clockwork or you see a exclamation mark in a triangle, you gave bigger problems then i can help you with
6)select wipe
7)select data, cache, and dalvik-cache to wipe So long as you only select those three options your sd card will remain ok and untouched
8)once done go back to main clockwork menu
9)select backup/resotore (or something similar) and hit restore nandroid(or similar)
10) if it asks you to pick which backup select the right one (you should only have one)
11)once done (and you get no errors) go back to clockwork menu and hit reboot, it should boot into your previous rom before you tried CM.
While here back in the working rom, make sure the end of your baseband version ends with "4.06.00.12_7" (menu > settings >about phone)
First go to the bottom of rom manager and hit "Flash Alernate Recovery" It should say RA Recovery
Once its done hit it again just to make sure it flashed (it should immediatly give you a comfirmation)
Then download CM6 RC2 (rom manager wont let you since it doesnt have clockwork anymore) go here and download the latest verions of CM and the google addon. Just download them to the sdcard.
Then reboot the phone in recovery:
1)Shutdown
2)press power button and trackball at the same time
3)use vol-up and vol-down select "bootloader" using power button to select
4)then select "Recovery"
5)should then say Amon_Ra on the bottom (if it does not or instead goes to exclimation triangle,boot back into regular and try flashing Amon_Ra again) (within this menu the trackball is now used to select and move through the menu)
6)since your current version is not working we wont backup, but normally you will select backup and do a nandroid backup
7) Instead of backing up go to wipe
8) wipe the data,cache, and dalvik cache. So long as you only select those three options your sd card will remain ok and untouched
9)go back (should be vol-down, should say at the top)
10) go to flash from sdcard
11)select the CM6 zip first (should ask for confirmation)
12)once done and no errors flash the google apps zip (also ask for confirmation)
13)once done go back to Amon_Ra main menu, and click reboot now
14)Enjoy CM

omg thanks!... question, do i download the radio as well?

That's why you need to see if your baseband number ended with "4.06.00.12_7" , if your baseband does not end with that number, then you will have to update your radio, something i have not done yet, and because of this I ask that if your baseband does not end with that number that you do not follow the rest of the steps. The steps leading up to you checking the baseband will reflash you back to how you were before trying to flash CM so you will have a working phone. However if your baseband is that number, ("4.06.00.12_7" ) then you will not have to do anything to the radio and you can continue the steps ignoring the radio altogether.
Also would any person more knowledgeable then I like to check my previous post to make sure it looks ok before this person does anything?

lol i did it, dont worry... it worked thanks man

some quick help please di11i's 6.0

i just flashed back to stock using odin. rooted the phone. installed the clockwork then i went into clockwork and went to install a new rom. i selected di11i's 6.0 rom and its says the following:
installing: SDCARD:dill1s6.0NO_OC.zip
finding update package...
and thats it. what do i do now before it went all the way through and then went back and rebooted and it started up. its like it hung on that part and it wont do anything. i would say its been at that screen for 5-10 minutes and now im worried. please someone give me a little info.
i didnt have enough post to post in the di11i's thread or i would have
thanks

I usually download the rom and place it in the sdcard root and reboot to recovery and install from sdcard.

thats what i did and i selected it in the recovery and went to install and it started but it stopped on the finding update package and i dont know what to do. can i take out the battery and it will reboot fine? i dont know i dont want to mess it up lol

use your key combo to get into recovery, or type "adb reboot recovery" if you have android sdk installed. then flash the zip again.

First of all, pls pull out battery and let us know the build number, if its 10.09 and earlier or one of the 10.10 and later models.
Second, do u have access to recovery console/download mode?
Recovery: Press and hold the two volume buttons, and power at the same time. When the phone restarts and it as at AT&T logo, release power (only). It should show u a recovery console.
Download: Turn off the phone. Hold the volume down, and plug the phone to computer. It should a yellow triangle and an android guy with a spade.
Following instructions are for 10.09 or earlier build phones only.
1. Get into download mode
2. Use the 1-click odin to flash stock
3. Copy the update.zip attached to this post to ur sdcard root.
4. Copy dilli's 6.0 NO OC zip to ur sd card (select no overclock kernel to be on the safe side in case ur phone does not support speeds over 1200)
5. Get the phone into recovery mode (as per instructions above)
6. Select "reinstall packages". U wud need to do this twice.
7. Now ur recovery console would come in green. Select "install zip from SD card", and then "choose zip from SD card", and then browse to the dilli's 6.0 zip file and select it.
Sit back having a cup of coffee, and the phone do its work.
Please let us know if u run into any issues.

thank you guys so much for the help i really appreciate it. i pulled the battery out and put it back in and went back into recovery. i then went to reinstall packages and went into clockwork. then i tried installing it again and it went through this time. i now have rebooted the phone and it is starting up now as i type this. also my phone is the 10.09
android guy is up and looks like its working. thank you all so much you are all getting a thanks from me for helping me out when i thought i messed the phone up. for some reason it had a hiccup. im at the main screen now and is working fine.

Based on ur number of posts, I presume u r new to this.
1. I would recommend u flash stock when moving between ROMs. This is not mandatory, but is recommended.
2. Do NOT use TiBu (titanium backup) to backup or restore any SYSTEM data. User apps and data is fine.

yes i am new to this lol. i was running cognition 3.02 and then just flashed 3.04 over the 3.02. but this time since i was flashing to a totally different rom i went back to stock using odin. and thanks for the tip on ONLY installing user apps and data.

i recommend you build a jig yourself or buy it online:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...25272&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_595wt_1139
it is a very useful tool and will get you into download mode when things mess up. if you will flash / customize your rom in the future, you may need one ...

ya i have another cord i could cut and make one myself. lol this may be stupid but after i am flashed now and its working fine i installed titanium back up pro but its not showing up anywhere in my phone to use it. lol i am a phone noob just tryin to learn ahaha. thanks everybody
edit: i got it now lmao

[Q] Gti-9000 jellybean install

Hi, I own a SGS gt-i9000, and i rooted it with Z4root. I'm trying to update my android to the jellybean 4.1, with absolutely no success, this is due to my lack of experience with the android OS and clockwork mod and so on. I tried everything i could, nothing seems to work, first because the CWM doesn't work for GT-I9000 for some stupid reason, and second because, as I already said, i am a giant noob on this OS.
What I'm asking for is a simple way to upgrade to jellybean 4.1 OS that even a bloody rock can understand, sorry for the expression, but i'm really mad right now. My phone specs are:
firmware version: 2.2
I9000BUJP5
Kernel: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
FROYO.BUJP7
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I have already read threads about doing the same but i failed to understand every thing.

Hey,
First times can be frustrating! Seriously, I got really mad when I was trying to put CM9 on my phone.
Easy steps? I'll try make it as simple as I can.
First, make sure you have your desired ROM on your internal SD, and Gapps (Google Apps) if you need to.
1.) Put your phone on 2.3.6 XXJW4 firmware using Odin. This is done so you have the right recovery- maybe explaining why CWM didn't work for you on Froyo. If you need help with this, feel free to ask
2.) Using Odin again, flash in CF-Root. You can find this somewhere in the Development forums for the I9000. I'll see if I can post links later. And again, if you need help, don't hesitate to ask
EDIT: Here you go make sure you find the right one... It should have XX and JW4 in the name.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
3.) Reboot into CWM recovery using the three button combo (Vol Up, Home, Power). From here, using the volume buttons to scroll and the home button to select, go Wipe Data and Wipe Cache. They're both on the main screen so you'll see them instantly.
Then go into the "Advanced" menu and click Wipe Dalvik cache.
4.) Now go back to the main menu, and select "Install zip from SD." Navigate to where you left your ROM. It'll ask you to confirm. Select Yes.
5.) Wait for it to flash in. It'll probably be really quick.
6.) You might end up in a bootloop. DON'T PANIC. YOU HAVEN'T BRICKED YOUR PHONE. Simply take out the battery from the back, put it back in, go back into recovery. Flash in the same ROM again, from the same place using the method in step 4.
7.) Wait for the rom to actually flash in this time.
8.) Done! It'll say its finished.
(Optional step for Google Apps: if they're not included in the ROM, you have to flash them in seperately. Once you finish step 7, wait for the phone to reboot. Then turn it off, go back into recovery and this time select the Gapps zip from your SD).
Hope I made it easy- if you have any questions, please, feel free to ask me either here or by PM

Hey, thanks for the help, i just installed the xxjw4, and the phone starts but it doesn't go anywhere, it just keeps on showing the "S" logo glowing, then reboots and does the same thing over and over. What is it that's missing here??
Thanks in advance.

Hey again,
Hmm, okay, see if you can find a file on these forums called dbsdata.rfs.tar. Try flash through Odin.
I think this is the file you're missing here- but I'm not sure about this...
