Please Help Me Out

I dont think anyones is in the Q&A forum and i need help fast
so im posting here so mods please dont get mad
Well Im almost finished up installing hero
but this one step from this tutorial got me stuck
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533731
Im at the part right before you partiton your sd card from terminal
I installed the radio then the spl
and when finishing the spl i rebooted but got got stuck at the tmo g1 screen and now here im wondering what do i do next go straight to hero
or install a rom
or reflash the spl
ps im still able to get to recover console etc.. so ithink i lite bricked so yeah please help

i think you may need to just flash a build. ive never bricked mine so maybe im way off...

Well i havent partitioned my sd card so you think i still should but on my computer
or should i install Jacheros rom but with out apps2sd?
ps when doing this process i havent flashed any rom whatsoever just the .nbh you think thats the problem

well have fun with cyanogen roms, or jf's
then when youre pretty familiar with everything go ahead and partition and play with apps2sd and hero
if you get a 'lite brick' you just reflash your rom. you should first play around with other roms first

Using recovery console and the instructions in the 1st post of the jachero thread, partition your sdcard then you can flash the Rom.

so even though i have the radio and spl for hero i can just go to CM's rom or jf's etc with no brick right

yeah you can. i recommend jf until you get comfortable with how to partition your sdcard and if you havent yet you should set up adb on your computer

if you need the link: http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r2/index.html

thanks people i guess ima chill with Jf
but heres one question i flashed cyan recovery using the update.zip method
but when i go to recovery it looks the same as the original recovery did i not do something right
what does Cyans recovery look like

if you are still able to get to recover console you are not bricked just flash a other rom

So do i need to reflash to jf recovery
or can i use cyan's

I had that problem too, i dont remember how i fixed it but i just went ahead and re-flashed the recovery with the terminal method
adb is a great tool for this, you should really set it up
with it you can mount the sd while in recovery, so you can add update.zip's without rebooting over and over and you can push files to the sd, like recovery.img's
plus you can get a shell with adb, so you wont have to worry about going to the console and typing commands in the phones keyboard and you can do it straight from you computer

Yeah i have lite brick so
im just gonna flash to JF 1.5 CRB43
With Cyanogens recovery

oh and b4 i flash to jf should i just wipe

yo im all good now i guess ima apps2sd with jf so i see how it all goes down

Danger SPL

i would like to install the Danger SPL i just have a few questions before i attempt this. I would like to avoid bricking my phone if possible.
I have already looked at this and see how to install it. I was just wondering how i would install it seeing as i already have my mod and have the newest Radio. I am currently running CyanMOD 4.0.4 with the Hard SPL. Would i just simply put the Danger SPL's zip. on my root SD and recovery boot and run the zip?
I have checked and I do have the PVT that is mentioned in the thread listed above.
I want to make sure I have everything clear 100% before i attempt this. I guess it is called Danger SPL for a reason.

Looks like your setup for the installation of it. Just place the SPL Update.zip onto the root of the sd card and install like you would a rom. But there is a catch. After the installing is complete, YOU HAVE TO manually reboot it by pressing Home+Power or whichever one reboots it, you can't use the trackball to select reboot. Once you do that it should go about its way on installing it.

Yes you are right. Just might want to put another rom you want on your sd card to to flash right away after flashing the spl because when you flash the new spl it will overwrite your existing rom causing you to be stuck at the g1 screen. Thats when you here all the idiots say I bricked my phone but fixed it.

Also, be careful to be sure that your /sdcard is mounted when you go to do that update. Sometimes when you flash Haykuro's SPL, it won't mount the sdcard properly, without being instructed to do so. ("mount /sdcard" when you drop into the terminal is all it takes). Dunno what caused that... but because of it, it wasn't reading the update.zip file I had.

Since you are using cm recovery 1.4, you can not use apply any zip for the spl, you must name it update.zip and than apply it that way with the option for update.zip, odd yes, but true, I suggest putting back on a rom that you already have that works for you, boot it up and than do a nandroid backup in case of future boot loops.

By terminal i take it as the "go to console" or "ALT+X" option. If so once i am in terminal how do i leave it. Every time I go to it I have to remove my battery to get back to the recovery options.

He's trying to mount /sdcard. Rebooting would undo that. If you just type recovery it will take you the recovery screen no reboot

um of course i don't try the obvious solution lol. thanks i will try to install the Danger SLP later.

should i do i a wipe before i install the danger spl?

The new spl will do it anyways so it doesn't matter

Hey folks,
i`m glad to found that thread about dangerspl...i`m loosing to many nervs because of that...
i`ve downloaded the spl file from these forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548924), renamed it to update.zip und applyed it at cm recovery 1.4.
i have the latest Radio, i`ve checked this a 1000 times...
everytime i want to install that dspl it`s extracting and installing very very fast (2-3sek), than reboot, it reboots in recovery...then i reboot the system, erverything is normal...the rom is starting...no stuck @ g1 logo...
the only effect is the missing of some internal memory mb`s...
so, what to do `??? was this file i`ve downloaded the correct DSPL??
Recovery shows "installing hboot"?!
i hope someone can understand my bad english...

forget about it !!!!
only my dumb fault.....

Totally incorrect. I've flashed this SPL several times, and using Cyan's recovery you don't have to rename it.

Try using three finger mary (talk+menu+power) to reboot and hold home to get into recovery. Flash the ROM you should have already put on your sd card beforehand since as Supreme already said, the SPL will overwrite the existing ROM...

Help with Cyanogen ROM

Not trying to be dumb but i been using JF 1.5 for like 6 month (completely forgot about xda and android stuff for about 4 month since i busy with school).
So now i got JF 1.5 and i want the new Cyanogen V 4.2.3.1 since i did read alot and seem like the best one for now.
And so i did try to install......for about 4 HOURS.
I tried :
- JF 1.5 -> Cyanogen V 4.2.3.1 = Stuck at the boot screen
- JF 1.5 -> cm-recovery-1.4.img -> signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip -> Cyanogen V 4.2.3.1 = After boot screen (when it suppose to come on the welcome screen) it just turn blank...the screen is one but completely blank.....
- I WIPE again -> HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 -> Cyanogen V 4.2.3.1 = Samething, blank page.
So what did i do wrong? I did do the install of the recovery Img 1.4 and the ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip.
I did wipe everytime i install something.
Sorry for the bothering and noob asking for help but i do need help....i tried my best and sitted here for 4 hours already
And talking about those Guide on WIKI, i tried to follow all of them and still.......only thing i didnt try is reflash, unroot, root again and do the install of new ROM

Is your SD card partitioned correctly?
You need:
FAT32
EXT 2/3/4
Linux-swap
Do you have those three partitions?
If so, did you wipe your EXT partition?

Omg, i only have 1 partition
It Fat32 i believe and i dont know how to make the other
i have the Class 6 8GB though, what shud i do?

Quick update.
I just follow the Stock to Cyanogen Post to upgrade.
I reflash the whole phone, root then Cyanogen again with format 3 Partition of Fat32 (7000MB), ext2 (700MB) and Linux-swap (150MB) and it still doesnt work, stuck at boot screen this time.....i really really dont know what to do now, i tried everything

alright buddy, you don't need to have any ext or linux swap partitions to run cyanogenmod
just make sure you have his recovery image, 1.4, or amon ra's recovery flashed on your phone
now you might as well just flash the haykuro "death/danger" spl to repartition your phone's internal memory. flash the radio before the spl
now go into recovery and wipe data/cache,
follow cyanogen's directions on how to upgrade
flash the adp 1.6 htc recovery image file from the htc site, DO NOT REBOOT
immediately flash the latest cyanogenmod update on top of that, reboot,
it'll give you some stuff about writing the radio, just let it do it's thing
now you're done, boot up
and give it some time.
first boot takes a little bit more
enter your credentials into your phone, let it sync
then reboot again, it lets everything soup together

I just did the exactly same thing u said and it get past the Boot G1 Screen, then pas the Cyanogen Screen then it get stuck at a blank screen again, what wrong with that?

Since you're able to get to the "Cyanogen" screen -- do you have adb installed on your computer? A logcat of what's going on would be useful.
Alternatively; try flashing the "illegal" version of the newest Cyanogen ROM -- the "single flash" update. However, do it a little differently than you'd otherwise expect.
With the old JF 1.5, install Cyanogen Updater from the Market. Download any update -- doesn't matter what; you won't be flashing it.
Download the single-flash version of Cyanogen's actual ROM from the developer forum; and then dump it into the same folder that the CM Updater app dumped to. From within the contextual menu of the CM Updater app, choose "existing update" -- and then flash the single-update version.
//SOMETIMES//, flashing a ROM via the CM Updater will produce different results than flashing it "manually". I have no explanation for why this is, but I /have/ seen it happen.

Hi there,
I too am running JFV1.51 and wish to change to Cyanogen 4.2.15.1.
I have the iamage from HTC but nothing changes when I flash it and attempt to immediately flash Cyanogen over it?
Did you have any luck in resolving this issue/
Many thanks!

You guys that are having issues need to use ddms or adb shell logcat to see whats going on.
Going from Cupcake to Donut is going to change a lot in your phone and will take several minutes to complete. Most of which is in Framework. That Android boot animation that pops up is in there so thus it may seem like it's stuck at the G1 logo. Also you should consider flashing your phone to the newest radio (2.22.19.26I or 2.22.23.02).

ok this is what you really do lol no if ands or butts to this method.

E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
Hi,
Firstly, many thanks!
However, after following this comprehensive and generally straight forward guide I still can't flash the new CM!
I followed all the steps exactly, downgrading to RC7 (I'm in the UK) & re-rooting the phone.
When I reach the stage of flashing Android 1.6 Base Image, the CM ROM & the radio it states:
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
and aborts!!!
I also do not have the option of alt+a only alt+s which is apply sdcard:update.zip
Where am I going wrong? And what should I do?
Thanks,
Joe

If you don't have ALT+A available, you have a recovery loaded other than what the guide says/thinks you should have. Are you using the recovery it suggests? Be it Amon Ra, Clockwork, etc.

Hi,
I was initially running Jesus Freak cupcake 1.5. Now the phone is currently at RC7 and rooted using telnet after starting the whole process again.
I am currently following the guide on the cyanogenmod wiki. I am using the recovery image suggested: CM recovery 1.4 img.
However, when I get to the stage for Flash Android1.6 & CyanogenMod latest I get stuck and states E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip.
All other guides seem to be specific to the US, for example androidhustler. I don't where to go next!
Please help!

STUCK!

Okay i am fully aware of how a forum works and how much i am going to get flamed for this. I really need to go to bed and it would be nice to not have to go find a new phone tomorrow.
I installed JFv1.41 perfectly fine, had the root running etc.
I went to install a Theme, i ran the update.zip...now my phone just gets stuck on the TMOBILE G1 screen...not the flashing droid.
I can boot into Home+Power and into Camera+Power
i have HARD SPL on my root, but it is named update_OG is there anyway i can execute that to fix my problem?
Thanks

d
please can anyone help. Do i need to get a SD card reader and put a recover.img on it...i deleted it on accident because i am anuberchaun.

was the theme made for JF 1.41?
If not, that's why you are hanging on the screen.
What recovery do you have? Can you enable UMS from your recovery? If so, you can just copy a new rom and flash it.
If not, you need a memory card reader and put a new rom on it, then flash.
You are going to need to wipe obviously. I hope that goes without saying.
You should also condsider updating to a newer rom. You are still on RC33 with that I believe. Find a donut rom, like Dwang's. I would recommend you get the new Cyanogen, but that involves flashing more than one thing at a time, and I don't know if you will be able to do that without messing it up... No offense.

Okay so in my HARD SPL on boot, it says no IMAGE file. I have manually uploaded a image file to my SD's root folder. Why wont it see it?

Okay, im in deep. Last resort. Trying to reflash to rc29...only problem is it says not signature on 3 files. I definitely lost root. I using the stock rc29 though why wont it work? Maybe i have the wrong rc29 can anyone help?

Why would you flash a rom in fastboot? You were supposed to do it in your recovery. That's where you went wrong. You say you have rc29 now? Just reroot the phone then.

i cannot re root the phone because it will not get past the flash screen.
i didn't re-flash from fastboot, i did it in recovery. Ive tried re flashing a few times now. I am running jf v1.4 i can not go to any original rom, i also cannot find a DL for a OEM rom. I am trying to reflash to rc29 using the link found in at (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480) the DREAMIMG.nbh file. I was assuming that was a stock ROM, but when i try to reflash to that it says 3 files (no signature)....i was under the impression stock ROM's did not require ROOT access to flash.
i have also tried rc27

FIXED
everything i needed was right here.

Not completly bricked

Hi guys im wondering if any of you can help me out here.
I have been on cyanogen (latest) for a while but decided to have a go at puting the ''donut'' rom in the android development bit of this forum (eu version as im in uk) on my phone this evening.
I flashed the base version fine and it started up great. Then I flashed the extention (add on) part and it started up but after the ''android'' screen it just went black and nothing happend. So i did a hard reset and tried again, same problem occured.
I then tried to put the latest cyanogen rom back on my phone, put to root, started it up then BAM stuck on g1 screen. Didnt get passed it. So put other roms later cyan roms on and still same problem occurs.
I then freeked out and tried to go back to RC29, so i deleted everything of my sdcard and put the dreming file on, pressed power and camera button and then BAM it comes up with some sort of cyanogen screen and not the rainbow screen. So havent got a clue how to install the dreming file. So gave up there
So this is where im at. Nothing on my sd card. Still got cyan on my phone but cant get it started up, no matter what rom I try it keeps getting stuck on g1 screen.
I know this is completly retarded but I really need help to get this sorted.
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT
Thanks

Have you been wipping?

Wiped before flashing donut rom...And when trying to put cyanogen rom back on...

If you can boot into recovery or into fastboot then you should be fine.
Wipe, if you use appps2sd the wipe your ext partition as well.
Flash base defanged rom from Cyan's site and flash Cyan's latest (Check md5 sums of both to make sure that your downloads are not corrupted. Fix permissions and you should be ok. If you still can't boot up (and it will take a while to boot up after a wipe) then you can go back to RC29. Just make sure that your nbh file is named exactly Dreaimg.nbh and your card is formated to FAT32, otherwise fastboot will not find it.
Good luck.

Wow lots of help there thanks.
Firstly tho I cant find this ''base defanged rom'' from cyans website? Can you give me a pointer as to where it is? Is that its name on the website or is that it in short?

Forget that I found ''DRC83_base_defanged.zip''. Downloading it now.
