I need some help with root on my g1. I can send via bluetooth but can't receive its says I need to get root can anyone help my to get it
Hello everyone,
i really thank all the people who are investing lots of time on this site to help others. I have found myself many solutions to many issues in many of my phones.
now i have a new issue and I have not benn able to find a solution. maybe its hidden in the forums, if you know it, please send my a link.
issue:
got a g1 from the US, using it in EU.
if I turn it on, shows the G1 logo folowed by the recovery(android system recovery uitility)
It doesnt matter if I do something else, it allways comes the screen.
Tried several upgrades but it allways tells me:
Install form sdcard...
Finding...
Opening...
Verifying...
E:No signature (XXX files)
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted.
on top of the recovery there is a message:
E: can't open /cache/recovery/command --> to this i found several solutions, but all require a running g1... this is not the case.
Also the "back+power" wont load the defaults, it doesnt matter what i do.. wont do anything.
PS: SD is an 8Gb class 6 which was working on my old G1, fresh formated
any clues?
most appreciated!
Luis
I almost forgot to mention..
Power + Cam, fastloader wont work, wont load.. also found a solution having a working G1.. again.. this is not the case. I got the phone yesterday and should be working, it looks rather soft-bricked
A hint might be to post this in the Dream Q & A Section before you get battered for posting in the Dev section....
many thanks! Q&A should have been!
any ideas to solve my problem? thanks
E:No signature (XXX files)
E:Verification failed
is due to the ROM not being signed.
if you want to get into bootloader to flash nandroid backups
use
adb reboot bootloader

Hi B-man007,
thanks.. is there a way to use ADB if the phone has no OS? and if its not recognized by PC... ? found solutions about how to use it.. IF the phone is running. please let me know if i am missing something here. cheers!
any other solutions?
if the roms that i tried are not signed.. could you suggest me one which is?
tried from original ones to cooked.. same responce. i even tried 30 to 33.. to see waht happens, it started but showed me again an error message, it would make sense if the installed rom would have been 30. i was just trying around.
any links to a very old android which is signed? to keep on trying.. cheers!
Since you have a US G1, flash the RC29 DREAIMG.nbh to get to Android 1.0
ADB can be used in recovery since there is a kernel being used. You need to install the drivers for it to work
no cannt do.. driver for win7 x64 are not te be found and the update from RC29 not possible. i cannt access the booloader to install images ;(
tried several signed updates and roms, allways the same crap!
any other idea? thanks!
The adb drivers for vista x64 should work just fine. If you can't get into bootloader by holding Cam+Power
you will need adb to actually boot into the bootloader to flash the RC image
so.. many tests .. same situation
ADB works if the device is conected. it could be recognized if the bootload is on OR if android is running.
none of this works for me.
i cannt access anything but the android recovery, believe that the old user saved recovery on SDcard and send me the phone w/o it... E:/can't access recovery.. blah
i am getting really angry with the phone and the seller.. damm eVay
Ive been wondering how to get back to stock rom with the Smart Flash but the steps arent very clear.Hopfully someone can help me
Your model is a LGP990HN.
If you are flashing stock, why not use the official KDZ with LG R&D Test Tool?
Tutorial is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327929
Use your carrier KDZ flash file (FIDO LGP990HN V21b): http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP990HN/AFIDDW/V21B_00/V21B_00.kdz
Does it matter if my phone is already rooted to the computer? I rooted it to the computer but it doesnt work it only charges and plus is this the orgnial one i dont get the steps canada still has froyo so do i download that please help
Bro please help when i do all the step the last part goes to 15% then it said failed commucation with phone please connect .. and my firmware update driver says install failed.
No, it doesn't matter if your phone is rooted, I've done myself here and it works, but you loose root.
You didn't give more details, is your phone bricked? Did you tried a hard reset?
If you have problems with the drives, I suggest you to uninstall LGMobile update, download usbdeview and remove everything with LGE on the drive description, reinstall LGMobile update and try again.
Also, make sure USB debugging is checked under development menu.
bricked as in ? and it my phone work pefectly fine i just wanna retore it with out any rooting or cm7 etc but like i did all the steps but like the hardware driver thing it said failed to install but i dont think that really important but when i actaully finish the step it only goes to 15% then pop up amd says phone connection failed or not connect please press restart.
I'm incountering the same issue as this. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue?
Hi Everyone,
First off I am a total novice and I put my hands up to say I should not have tried to root my phone. I merely wanted to root so that I could actually use the space on my SD card, which the HTC Desire doens't.
I did try to do this manually by reading a few guide and walkthroughs with no success. So then I used the sunshine app to unlock my bootloader and then WinDriod to load TWRP recovery and then hopefully root the phone. It does say ***unloacked*** on the fastboot menu. However, I sort of messed up my phone.
I cannot load into recovery mode - it goes to a HTC load screen then right back to fastboot usb menu.
I cannot factory restore the phone either.
Can anyone advise me how to return my phone to its normal state or advise on how to fix this problem?
Appreciate any help anyone can give me!

Hello,
Since you asked for help with returning the phone to it's normal state I have some questions. Does the phone work normally? Can you make calls, text, and do other things when you simply power your phone on or is the OS deleted? Are you just referring to obtaining stock recovery or do you still want to get TWRP? It sounds like some error happened when you tried to flash TWRP and now you have no recovery. Here is a great guide that shows you how to flash TWRP. You can use that same guide to flash the stock recovery. That channel also has videos with an alternate method to unlock your bootloader and how to root the phone.
My phone works fine, makes calls, texts etc, I just can't boot into recovery. I tried several methods, following online videos etc to no avail, but ill give this one a go this evening. I mentioned returning it to its original state so I could start over with the flashing process as nothing seems to allow me to load into twrp, so i wondered if there was a corrupt file or something preventing me from doing so. The phone's bootloader is unlocked I believe as it says so on the hboot screen.
Thanks for the suggestion, ill let you know how it goes.

The method in that video should work perfect. I doubt there was a corrupt file, but we'll find out soon enough. I have a love/dislike relationship with WinDroid. I love it, because of how easy it is to use and it requires little to no knowledge of what you are actually doing and it is just a beautiful looking program. I dislike the fact that you pretty much learn nothing when you use it, as it does all of the work. Also, if you use the adb drivers it provides and you already have adb drivers, you will receive an error that the adb server is out of date.
Hi, so let me get to the point.
I attempted to root my phone with towelroot, and had no success. I did some googling and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55133105&postcount=1
I flashed the kernel following the instructions and my phone gets stuck on boot now. I was naive to think it would work... someone please help! This phone is my only phone and it's literally my job to have this phone. I don't know a lot about this stuff but here is my model version : SM-G900A
Also, in hopes of trying to fix my phone, i tried finding an original kernel file which im currently downloading this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785185
Although i would REALLY appreciate it if I could keep all my files and such. I dont want my phone resetting completely.
Also when i booted into recovery mode, this was at the top: G900AUCS4CPA3
I don't care about rooting anymore, I just need my phone to be back to normal!! Please and thank you! It's 3:38 AM and i've been in a HUGE panic for the past 3 hours...
