Problem on rooting my g1 - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I followed this tut http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548924 and got up to the installing CyanogenMOD 4.0.1 (Stable) part. The 4th step it asks me to hold alt+I+W+S in the recovery mode. But my g1 download\install right after i pressed alt+I and W there was no need for S somehow or i messed it up...And then as for the 5th part it did not ask me to reboot it reboot by itself automatically and i had to do the google registration part again like i was downgrading. So i want to know if i had rooted and installed the custom rom successfully or i did something wrong.

the quickest way to tell if it worked is to go to terminal emulator and type su if you get a screen that comes up and ask for your permission to run su then you have root and a custom rom. the other way is if your have 5 homescreens

Uhh where is the terminal emulator lol sry im a newbie ;3. And what you mean by 5 home screen?

either check your app tray or download it from the market. do you have 3 home screens, or 5 home screens, or go into settings and look for something like this under about phone

Nope D: don't have the mod version. Theres only kernel version and build number. So i assume i rooting and installing custom rom went unsuccessfully?

what does the kernel version say? most likely though you will need to reflash your rom though. make sure the rom is on the root of your sdcard, if you don't have the 1.4 version of cyanogen's recovery image then rename it to update.zip (if you do not know what recovery you have assume you need to name it to update.zip). then boot into recovery(home and power), select the option to flash update.zip from sdcard (something like that) then when it is finished reboot the phone.

david do you happen to have aim\msn or ym? Hate forum posting D:

Pick Nook Color from right, download file and install from adb.
Or image to a sdcard (winimage or w32imager) to create a bootable sdcard.
Enjoy your new touchscreen recovery.

I'm not familiar with TWRP, is it some sort of ClockmodWork Recovery but with GUI?
Any more advantage?
It's recovery that uses the touch screen instead of buttons.
The backups don't appear to be compatible with CWM.
Adb doesn't recognize my NC or I'd install it. I did get to play a bit with it on my Touchpad tho.
Thanks Colchiro,
Another question.
As we all know CwMR v.3.0.2.8 will yield /data format problem on stock 1.2 or above, and that fixed by using CwMr v3.2.0.1 or above.
Does it this GUI TWRP resolve this incompatible issue? I meant, it works for all stock ROM versions?
Good question. I don't make the news, I just report it. I know they test it on many devices and flash, backup and restore many roms. I would think it'd be compatible, but I don't know 100%.
Also note, this is RC0 (release candidate), not a stable release. AFAIK, this is the first version released to the general public.
I see there's a post by eyeballer in the dev section. That'd be a good place for questions.
I want to try and have TWRP as an alternate recovery. However, I can't access a PC at the moment. Is there a way to copy the files to the boot partition by just using the Nook itself? I dunno, some file manager that can access the boot partition (tried File Expert, Astro and Root Explorer to no avail) or some commands that I can put in Terminal Emulator perhaps? Sorry if I'm being too difficult, I just don't have access to a PC and I'm dying to try this out, I've been waiting for these thing to get released since I first saw it.

[GUIDE] How to install Amon_RA Recovery!!!!

*NOTE* I am not responsible for global warming, the economical crisis or bricking or damaging your phone, this is YOUR choice!
Hello guys, today I am going to show you how to put a custom recovery on you T-Rex: The G1.
What you'll need:
A HTC G1
An USB-cable
A Computer/Mac/Laptop/Linux/Ubuntu/whatsoever
The file: http://rapidshare.com/files/387558151/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img
Terminal Emulator app (Market/Google Play Store)
Proper sense
I personally prefer Amon_RA's recovery because it's never gave me problems or something and it has all the options you'll need!!!!
First off, you have to be rooted, if you're not, please look for posts before coming here *Facepalm*
I use Terminal Emulator because you just have to type in one sentence and you're done!
Now, let's get to the tricky part: download the link to download the .img file.
Then, plug in you phone on your computer and connect it.
now pull the .img file to your phone (Not in any maps, just on the root of your SD-card) When it's done moving the file, safely eject you phone. Now, open your Terminal Emulator App-It looks like a black screen with blue text: Don't worry, your're not breaking your phone! Slide up your keyboard and type (su) (when I use ( or ), in between those is what you have to type, but not this!!!!) A pop-up will appear and it asks if you want to grand the app superuser permissions. Press 'accept' and now you can type in commands.
Now, typ in (flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img)
It won't show how far it is with installing, just wait 1-2 minutes before going back to the home-screen. Now power off your phone. When it's powerd off, press [HOME+POWER] at the same time untill the T-Mobile screen pops up. Now it will boot into recovery and congrats! You just installed a custom recovery image!!!!
It should look like this!!! (Don't mind the 1.5.0, this is an older photo)

Thank you! For anyone looking to work on a new rom, this will be very useful! (Or those of us who want back a specific bit for Eclipse, like motorola's clock app.)

Does this rom have the QE process?

no i removed it
Awesome thanks
can this only be flashed to the safe partition or could you use like cwm to flash it as the main rom?
my thinking is if you temp rooted to get recovery installed, booted straight into recovery,
flashed the rom with qe removed you would not have to worry about being caught by qe.
It should be flashed to the safe system. After all, the whole idea of using a safe system is to keep the original intact in case you need to take the phone back.
can I get a live link with this?
none of the links above are
working.
I am stuck at the SIM required screen. I edited build.prop to read keyguard.no_require_sim = false and indeed i get a lock screen but when i get out of it i get the welcome.. screen and though i added ro.setupwizard.enable_bypass=1 I can't get out of the screen. Tried Droid4HD lite too, same.
I do a little mod, for this people what dont like moto_blur, icons in system now look like below
to do this you must change your Settings.apk (in system/app/ folder ) with this from link

[Q] Recovery Imag is not working.

I am trying to install this custom Rom at the moment.
My problem is that the recovery image that I am supposed to use doesn't really work for me. I use AIO Toolkit and root with the recovery image. Than I want to install SuperUser through through the Recovery Mode. But the phone constantly displays the LG Logo. No Bootloop just stuck at the logo. PWR + -Vol doesn't work. It just stays at the Logo. When I use AIO Toolkit and reinstall another recovery image (e.g. ClockworkMod 6.0.1.5). It works fine. But when I install the Rom then it just does nothing. Still 2.3.4 Gingerbread V20Q and not CM10. So it looks like I really need the recovery to get it to work.
Anybody know how to make the recovery image in the thread to work?
I can't post in the thread itself because I don't have 10 posts yet sadly.

Number 3 does not work. Number 2 for example does.
