Ok i have tmibile g! Runnin cyan 4.0.2 with dark hero theme
yesterday i re flashed down to rc29 then back , up to 402 , i am tryin to load cm 1.4 recovery but it says access denied , the super user application doesn't seem to respond ,terminal sys my recovery image is "partition file.img", i never partitioned my card nor attempted to , so as it stands now i have enuf access to re flash and change roms , but i cannot reflash my recovery , premission is denied , is this a super user issue or recovery issue , i am stuck using hard spl
i can supply any more information needed plus terminal log ,
any help or suggestions is much appreciated , and is anyone can help me resolve this and get me back to cm1.4 recovery i might very well consider compensating you
have you tried throwing it out the window, that sometimes work
did you try typing su in terminal
I considered that but but my phone still runs and can up/downgraded I'm tryin to correct recovery for back up and operational purposes as for now my phone works / I will type su now
U did it my friend / do u have paypal
i just set one up in my sig, but to take money for something as small as a common mistep would feel quite trivial
Much appreciated man i
no problem
ALWAYS start by typing su FIRST in terminal. eliminates lots of hassle later on

Every time i turn it on it goes right to the recovery screen, i cant even enter the bootloader screen. What the hell is going on? PLZ HELP
is your home button stuck and what about if you type reboot from the recovery console (alt+x)
Its not stuck and it doesnt do anything when i press alt x
can you scroll down to go to console with the track ball.
What happens when you try to restore or flash a new rom?
What recovery are you using?
yes i can scroll in the recovery screen.
when i flash a new rom it just goes to the recovery screen. the radio give me an error E: can't read MISC
Looks like somebody got an oppsies!!
Please tell us about youp phone a little bit more in depth so we can deduce the problem in a logicial fashion or at least better guesses
No matter what i do everytime i turn it on it heads to recovery mode. I even tried flashing the rom over and over again but it still wouldnt get to the desktop.
I cant even get to bootloader.
That is so not what I meant
What type of rom where you using?
What recovery do you have?
What spl?
What if any themes where you using?
What is your gf's breat size?
Did you throw your phone in a jealous fit of rage?
These are the important types of info that we need to know
Do you just call up a mechanic and tell him a problem and not even say what type of car it is and expect him to tell you an answer or will he ask for more info
I was using the Drizzy Full v0.2
I flashed the latest SPL
Well your phone is telling you that there is something it don't like on it, have you tried reflashing your spl yet or a nandriod backup, try flashing a different rom afterwords, maybe a wipe too while you are at it
I have tried everything u listed above
Have you tried running it over or throwing against the wall, how bout shooting it. There are commands that you would have to type in the console at this point but since my computer is fried with them on it, I can not provide you with them, hopefully someone with the commands will come along at post them
Anyone?????
Hey my phone was acting up after I attempted to update my Cyanogen mod from 4.2.11.1 to the latest, and it removed all my google apps. So I attempted a couple things then mixed up my RC7 dreaimg.nbh with the rc29 dreaimg.nbh. now the hboot screen wont let me boot up the dreaimg.nbh saying 0002800 or something. What can I do to get back to rc29? :
Thanks in advance,
SplitSnake
I would restore my backup.... then start the update process over again...
yeah.. is the command to enter the recovery screen in the european dream/g1 different? im unable to boot to the recovery.
just go to terminal and type
su }enter
reboot recovery}enter
If you dont use the switchrom.sh script i highly recommend it.. backups all the app data plus a nandroid...
this seems pretty annoying, but i cant open terminal because i cant pass the google sign in and when i try to do the Home+Power method, it shows a dream with a huge exclamation above it.
Ok When your at that point Just hit Alt + S =D Or i think Is atl + L
Do you know how to use adb?
adb shell reboot recovery
Okay so im sure the answers for this are here in this forum, but this forum is huge and Ive been working on this for 2 days now. Just got a G1. Want to put ANY rom on it at this point. Ive tried following the "[GUIDE] STOCK-2-CYANOGEN" sticky in the development forum several times, to a T, and cant seem to even get past the 3rd step.
Ive started this over and over again - here's my process. Put DREAMIMG.nbh on my newly formatted FAT32 2GB SDcard. Reboot, get into bootloader, flash the phone with the update. Phone restarts, I enter my google info in, Im on the phone. I place cm-recovery-1.4.img on the sdcard root (ive tried two others and they have the same outcome) Now I root, which took awhile to work in the first place.. enter enter, telnetd, enter, go to market and download telnet. connect localhost. I type this:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd sdcard
flash_image recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img
cat cm-recovery-1.4.img > /system/recovery.img
....everythings gravy, no errors thrown, etc. I put the Hard SPL update.zip on the root of the sdcard, i shut phone off. Attempt to go to bootloader, it stalls on the G1 splash screen, and Ive waited up to 30 mins, before i ultimately have to remove the battery. I cannot load into, or add a new recovery console so I can even continue attempting to flash ANY rom. SO, I start from scratch...over, and over again. Unroot the phone, reload original bootloader, and they work. 2 days in circles!
Now I normally can figure these types of things out, especially with research that this forum has plenty of, but im at my wits end. WTH am i doing wrong I cant follow these guides any better than word for word! Man Ill PAY someone to just get a rom loaded for me at this point heh
wow that guide is old use this one

okay this is where Im getting hung up on. I did all of that, and once I turn off my phone to install the actual OS, this part "Flash Android1.6 & CyanogenMod latest", i hold home and press power, then the Tmobile G1 splash appears and just hangs... Never proceeds to the recovery option or anything for that matter, without taking out the battery. It doesnt do this when I have it stock, just after i flash cm-recovery-1.4.img
I've no idea if you'll get different results, but you could try flashing Amon_RA's recovery instead of cyanogen's. Just change cm-recovery-1.4.img to recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2.img (or whichever version you choose).

Okay so I just used Amon_Ra's, followed the instructions and flashed it via terminal, with no errors, just the same as cm_recovery reacts. Shut off fone, and tried home+power. Its frozen on the G1 splash............... How is it if I actually just revert it back to unrooted stock, the recovery console works fine..but any of the updated ones I need to use to get a ROM just will NOT work..?? Please help, im seriously going on like 17 hours with this thing...I genuinly will pay someone if we get this figured out! So very desperate!
hmm strange.
in terminal type
su <enter>
reboot recovery <enter>
Or from command prompt if you have adb setup
adb reboot recovery <enter>
see if that gets you into recovery correctly.
I apologize, I forgot to mention I had done that also, shortly after my last post.. Its not like im not doin the research here hehe. I did the $su, then reboot recovery. it rebooted, and froze at the same splash. I dont have adb, nor know what it is. This shouldnt be this complicated i wouldnt think. Do u think its something wrong with my phone that I cant simply load an alterate recovery image? I mean, it DID work before I had to continually set this thing back to stock..
just fyi, bc ive seen other ppl have this problem..i resolved the issue by reloading dmd64 firmware, then starting over again. I also used recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2 instead of recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2 or cm_recovery. Not sure if this made a difference in addition to updating to dmd64, but i was finally able to boot in to recovery and flash the images
I've got the exact same problem !!!
I've installed and used custom ROMs for over a year now, and last week I tried to upgrade to CM5 and since then, I haven't been able to use any other custom ROM, only the official HTC ADP1.6 stock ROM (which sucks...).
Each time I install one, it freezes on the G1 screen and nothing happens (even restoring my pre-CM5 nand backup does the same, it freezes on G1 screen )
Haven't had time to try yet (and honestly, I'm a bit tired of reflashing my phone, I need it sometimes and those things take a lot of time...), but I'm going to try switching back from Amon Ra's latest to Cyan's 1.4 recovery, reflash adp1.6 and a superD right after it, without rebooting to see if it works.
I'll let you know if it works (and then wait for official Froyo, if it ever comes out for the G1, with its official Apps2SD...)
hey guys, i hope somebody can help me...
i tried to load a new rom to my magic and rooted it. after some flashing i cant get into fastboot or recovery menue. i onle see the "htc magic" screen at my vodafone branded magic.
so is there anybody who can help? - i cant establish a connection via usb too
are you keeping hold of home+back whilst turning the phone on to enter fastboot?
I just posted this for someone on the cyanogenmod forum, hopefully it helps...
I had the same problem the night before last, I was flashing the newest ra revovery through terminal and I believe I made some typos or did not wait long enough and of course I forgot to type su the first couple times... silly me
but after trying a couple times I got it back through terminal.
You can try it through terminal, although theres issues with doing this in cyanogen mod 5.0.7, I'm not sure if the newer roms have the same issues.
but I believe the problem was a few people lost their recovery completely (which obviously wont matter to you) I've done it succsessfully from a donut rom, but havent tryed it from anything higher so I cant promise it will work.
if you want to try:
Open terminal emulator
type: su
hit enter and allow superuser permissions.
type: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img
(or the name of whatever ra recovery is on your sd card)
hit enter and wait a few minutes just to be sure.
then close terminal and try to reboot into recovery.
if it doesent work the first time check and make sure everything was typed correctly and try again.
Also you can just re-root the phone, that should fix it, its a pain though lol
I just rooted & flashed my Rogers Dream with cm 5.0.8 last weekend and it would freeze on the boot logo (Rogers) and I thought the same thing had happened. I could get to the recovery though.
I realized that you have to install the ROM and the Kernel Patch (I didn't do this) and once I applied the Brian Cook Kernel Patch, the phone booted immediately.
I don't know if this is the same problem you have but hopefully this info will help.
Cheers.
I would try re-rooting if you can. Unlockr . com has kinda an interesting method that might work.

Ok so I have an unlocked Nexus One that I rooted when I first got the phone 6 months ago. I've been running CM6 no problems at all, everything has been great.
Heres where my problem starts I decided to flash the stock frf91 image onto the phone and did not check superuser permissions or whatever option they gave me before i did it. I was doing this because I thought I was selling my phone. Now I'm not and want to go back to CM6.
The problem is I cant get into recovery at all I get the error with the ! in a triangle with android standing next to it. I've searched everywhere and tried everything. Fastboot and ADB gives me errors like waiting for device (even though my drivers are up to date and it recognizes the phone?) or status failed too many links.
I tried doing a backup from my nandroid information through my nandroid backups on my computer (aka pulling system.img etc) I tried going through the terminal but Im getting denied superuser permissions.
Im just not sure where to go from here ive looked through so many articles and threads and posts and im very confused.
After I flashed the stock image I thought i would still be able to boot into recovery but i guess i dont have recovery? I try to flash the recovery but with no avail.
Anyone have any advice or even just somewhere to start I would really appreciate it. Thanks
When u flashed the stock rom it wasnt a rooted version so u have the stock recovery search for how to root the stock Rom once rooted u can put a custom recovery on there hope this helps
The procedures for the different handsets kind of blur together in my memory, so just want to check.
When you booted into recovery and got the "!" screen with the android did you try holding either the volume up, or volume down key <along with the power button> to bring up the menu?
The ! With the Android is the stock recovery image if I remember correctly if u press the power button the menu should pop up
