Database Develop

Before I hack....

I just have one question before i start hacking. I have a 4gb card, but im about to get a 16gb card soon. You think I should wait until i get the 16gb card and hack it??? And would the phone still be rooted if I were 2 change the memory sticks??? Would i have to partition the 16 gb card also??

Waiting is up to u. As for any memory card yes u should partition them. If u can get a class 6 card its faster so it will help reduce the lag. If u dnt wait it will be hard without unbuntu to pull the apps and dalvik off the partition

Also no if if u switch the sd after root u will not lose it.

Edit: I'm late.

ok, soo im going to wait. any recommended roms i should try???

try reading a how-to,
cynagon is usually the rom to go with,
i think there is a database of all the roms that compares them too

When I try to format the disk on my computer, it disconnects and it says "There is no disk in drive G, enter a disk and try again". Also, when i connect my G1 to my computer, it says "Scan and Fix", or "Continue without scanning" and when i try to Scan and fix, it also disconnects the G1. What seems to be the problem??

Can't i just format the card using a card reader, then move onto rooting it???

Just do it in windows with it inside your phone...
[EDIT:] Didn't read enough. Yes you should be able to use a card reader to format.

Ok, this is my last concern, and i will stop bugging you guys. Soo far, i've successfully rooted the phone, flashed the radio(it now says 2.22.19.26I), and i flashed SPL. Everything with the phone is fine. My question is, do i have to flash the radio and spl everytime i want to flash a rom??? or do i flash the spl and then flash the rom???

never mind guys. im officially running cyanogen on the phone. looks good soo far. thanks 4 all the help

If you've already flashed the Radio/Spl, then all's you need to concern yourself with is roms, since the Radio/Spl stay even after the recovery alt w. You are done flashing the Radio/Spl, until Donut?

Root for Rookies

Hey Guys
I really hope I'm posting this in the right place. Please forgive my ignorance
For the past few days I have tried to get simple and UP TO DATE instruction on how to root the G1. There is so much information scattered out there that its quite overwhelming. Unfortunately I only understand half of the stuff I'm reading (at best) and was hoping one of you smart folks can help a complete amateur in my desperate quest to get root
Can someone please help me with the following:
1) are these steps for downgrading to RC 29 and rooting still applicable for cupcake?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
2) what does it mean to update the radio, SPL, and ROM and how do I do that.
3) where can I find the latest versions of all the stuff I need?
4) will I be able to reinstall all the apps I've bought as long as sign in with the same email after rooting?
5) will some market apps be blocked for me after rooting?
I realize this sounds really ignorant but would appreciate any help I can get!

Think about how many times a day the same inquiries roll these boards. If you've been reading the boards for the past few days and didn't find the answer to the majority of those questions something ain't right meng. I'm not trying to be funny. I'm just saying. The foundation of everything you may or may not learn is slap dab one of the first posts in this forum.
I'm not going to get into that..but you need to. the answers to all your questions are here in front of you. It just gets frustrating (it was to me at least) at times because you might stumble upon 3 different but totally correct answers to one question. Thats exactly where i was right HERE. that was two weeks ago. jumped on the boards one friday night a wreck, by sunday night i was peacefully rooted. Slow down, think about what your doing and what you're reading. make sure you have some free time...TO YOUR SELF. get a pen and some paper right stuff down. take into consideration you might not make it in a day. yeah u might botch your way to ROOT, but unless you REALLLY understand and know how to get there...you could be setting yourself up for alot of frustration. thats all i have to say about that. you caught me on a good night...just had a glass of wine bout call it quits. sorry about any typos. good luck!

Thanks so much! I realize hearing these basic questions about root over and over must be increadibly frustrating for you and appreciate the patience!
Any recommendations as to what ROM I should install? Not quite sure how the different versions compare.

OUCH! Good looking out.

OP, I followed the instructions you linked to just a few days ago and it worked like a breeze. Much easier that I thought it would, and i have no experience with this. I would suggest that when you get to the final part where you are upgrading to a new ROM to try cyanogen's stable build 3.6.8.1. It is just like cupcake (what you had) with a ton of new options.
also, his pimped out recovery.img can be used... version 1.4. I followed that guide to a T, then learned of this new and improved recovery.img file he made. So, basically the next day I changed to this version and it is a lot better.
Partition your sd card when you finish this and his rom will put all of your apps on your SD card, which frees up a ton of internal memory. I went and d/loaded about 60 apps after doing this. His rom does it for you automatically... like, no thought needed, you want even know unless you go to settings and look at the memory.... or, you may b/c of the speed of your phone. This was also much easier than I though, basically just keying a few lines of text in terminal emulator (which you will have after loading his rom above).
Any of the other experienced people have any issues with what I said?

I would also suggest cyanogen's builds. It has a lot of features and is both relatively noob friendly, feature-packed, advanced capabilities for advanced users, and fast. His 4.0 stable is just around the corner with even more features than his current stable version. There are many other ROM's out there as well, you'll have to try em out yourself and see if you like them or not. (Be careful of the ones that say you need the updated SPL, such as the hero ROM's. If your not careful when updating to that SPL [Haykuro's 1.33.2005 SPL] you could brick your phone. )
Cyan's recovery is a must
its great no matter what ROM you choose to use
If you need anything else, feel free to PM me or post here

This is how I got it to work!!!
(SD CARD READER NEEDED)
Got it to work using this tutorial. If I had found it before I wouldn't have started a new thread. Will look harder in the future!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533731
Followed steps until step 16
After step 16:
I had to install the JesusFreke rom cause it wouldn’t let me flash the cyanogen recovery image otherwise (permission denied problem as mentioned by author)
Installed cyanogen recovery image
I skipped partitioning the sd card at this point cause I didn’t plan on installing the Hero rom. If you want to flash the Hero rom you shouldn't skip partitioning
Installed latest Radio
Installed latest SPL
From here on I did my own thing:
Couldn’t boot after updating SPL cause rom got wiped by updating SPL. I had to put the new rom (Cyanogen v3.6.8.1) onto sd card, rename as update.zip and boot into recovery mode to flash it. This is were the sd card reader comes in handy.
You can find the Cyanogen ROM here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537204
After flashing the rom it was stuck on the loading screen so I rebooted into recovery mode and did a clean swipe. Loaded just fine after that.
Created ext2 partition using Paragon Partition Manager (see threat below), rebooted and was good to go

Ohh lol see I didn't bother reading that ADB guide since I already had adb since pre-cupcake when I attempted to root my phone the first time.

looking to hero! Some questions

Hello all,
I'm curious about somethings for turning my g1 to the hero (rosie?) rom (wow it looks beautiful).
The first being Where can I actually find it? I found two sites that offer it but doesn't seem like its from the developer themselves (who I'd trust more).
Secondly, which developer has the best performance (e.g. speed, ect.). I've read that it is a deadly slow Rom and I already lack patience for my g1 now (It's the stock firmware). The hero its self looks much smoother, am I wrong?
If I can't risk my phone being bricked should I bother trying it? (I had it JF rooted in the summer which I did successfully on my first try, and I un-rooted it.)
Is there a text document with how to install with a video that coincides?
Lastly, Is Cyanogen a better rom? (this has next to nothing to do with the hero rom )
Hopefully I didn't miss a thread on this I searched for like an hour.

You cant just start driving, you have to learn the basics.When you get in a car there a many things that you need to do first is learning and even taking test.
You must have root first and a recovery image and im guessing your all stock.The dream section has all the info needed to root now is up to you to decide if you want to read it.
-Best regards

Thank you. I am very comfortable with the rooting process. I just don't want to do it unless the rosie rom is worth it!

Basically, Hero is incomplete. It doesn't have Bluetooth nor full Google Voice integration, and it runs 1.5. However, at the rate the devs are going on Hero 2.1 the version it runs could change very soon.
For now, stick with Cyanogen as it is a better Rom. Hero doesn't really work on the G1, it's slow and there is a lot of core function missing. It will never be an everyday ROM. I think of it like a concept car. Its cool in a "look what we can do" sort of way, but just wait for the next HTC Android phone.

Its not slow...You must be running a super old version..Hero 2.1 roms and 1.5 roms are both very fast...King's 2.1 is very fast and close performance to cyanogen, please dont misinform people.All current hero roms are fast, in a 2.1 rom you can achieve 20mb+ free ram which is about the same to a cyanogen rom. Maybe you used a old jac rom months ago.

I'm sorry to say, but no I have tried many Hero configurations on my class 6 as recently as a month ago. The fact is that even if there were drivers for all of the hardware over time Hero really starts to bog down. It will not always perform after that post-setup peak it has.
If you want working hero wait until the first 2 weeks of January when the Passion comes out.

Going to try this tonight. Read and watched the videos. seems very simple. thank you!

need help!
When following this guide http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/ho...ps2sd-onto-your-g1-or-mytouch-3g-best-method/ (I already did the one click root with no issues)
In part II of the guide
. Download the custom SPL for your device:
T-Mobile G1 – Here
MyTouch 3G – Unneccessary, skip this section and proceed to Section III.
3. Plug in your phone and mount the SD card (pull down on the notification bar and select the SD card notification then click Mount in the pop up window).
4. After the SD card shows up on the computer, put the SPL zip file on to the memory card.
5. Once it is done transferring to the memory card and you have renamed it, unplug the phone from the computer.
6. Turn off the phone and then turn it back on by holding down the Home and Power button to get to recovery mode (keep holding it until the recovery screen with the writing and black background come up). Here i get to the ! so I hit Alt + L to get to the recovery screen. It gives me the menu to reboot, apply zip, wipe. However at the bottom of the screen it says E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
7. Once the recovery screen is up, click on Wipe Data. Once that is done, click on Apply Update.zip and wait for it to finish. I wipe the date and then apply zip. I then get this message __ Install from sdcard... Finding update package... Opening update package... Verifying update package... E: No signature (5 files) E: Verification failed Installation aborted
I'm assuming this means the SPL file is corrupt but I don't know much and probably am wrong.
How can I fix this? I got this far with no issues and so close to being done!

UP AND RUNNING JACHERO
Thanks a bunch ace. In the two minutes its been up it's looked as good as I wanted it to!

so my son grabbed it this morning, it froze i took the battery out. Now it keeps going to the hero screens over and over again. what should I do?

If I were you I would try re-flashing. Do you have a custom recovery.img? Like Cyan's or Amon-Ra's? If you do, try wipe cache, wipe ext part, wipe cache, and then re-flash. That's always the first thing I do when my phone starts getting buggy.

temp pulled

One of the users reported something happen with their phone, I don't know if it's related but until I figure it out for sure I've pulled the build.
Until I can be sure guys if you updated with the latest version please flash back to a different nbh and use a different build.
Personally I've had no issues with this but I want to be sure.
As CP0020 posted here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664941 we think it's just from flashing the NBH so many times it may have worn out the nand. It's the same failure I had when my phone died. However as we are still unsure I'm not comfortable continuing development and releasing. If anyone wants to take over where I left off on this they can.

Awesome. Downloading now.

does gmail work? can i sync my contacts?
EDIT: i saw in your txt file to use market to setup account, not wizard

mssmison said:
Here's what I'd call the Beta of the new eclair sense build.
This must either be installed to sd card paritions or using the ext2 file. DO NOT try to install to your nand.
I still don't have the google apps figured, though apparently the people with the g1 port don't have it going either
This is not a port of the G1 build but our very own.
As with all Hero based builds you must be using a 320x480 nbh.
What doesn't work;
bluetooth, wifi, google apps
As always I AM NOT responsible if it breaks anything

I'm sure this has been answered somewhere, and I apologize if it has, but can I run an SD card build on top of my NAND somehow? And then switch back to NAND w/o data loss if I don't lke it? Thanks.

you bet, use the installer, install to sd..
when you want to switch back, in the options just change the installer settings back to system on nand and data on nand and exit without installing anything..

cool, i will try this out. I dont have partitions on my sd. I assume i need to do this first. Can i create a partition without wiping my sd card?

This has some real potential. It seems a little slow but I'm guessing that has more to do with my crappy sd card than the build.
I'm interested in seeing where this build goes.
Great to see you back mssmison.

It runs fantastic on nand.. with some optimization I expect it will run really well. Also there's no swap or anything running with this build, that would make a huge difference no doubt.
just no free space at all.. lol

i know the answer is prolly a no
but will this have the multi-touch like shown in that video,
if it does thats awesome but i didnt think its possible with resistive touch screens

I am using Amon-Ra 1.6.2, and i want to get Froyo on my G1.
Is there a way to get it w/o re-rooting it to get clockwork recovery?
Can I still get it if i keep 1.6.2?

Just pick a froyo ROM (Jubeh's ftw) and flash it, you don't need clockwork at all.

This information is ABSOLUTELY FALSE. You DO NOT need deathspl, and in fact, there are FAR FAR better ways of gaining EVEN MORE internal storage than what is offered by deathspl. Look for the "MTD" threads in the dev forum. They can gain you up to about 30 MB MORE free space than deathspl.

Caps...come on now.
What ever, not getting baited into an argument or anything, but it's kinda odd, if you go check the requirements for the majority of the roms they pretty much all have one thing in common...hmm danger/death spl. Yeah,yeah,yeah there are several ways to achieve more space, but if a dev says danger spl is a prerequisite to flashing his rom, which the majority do... Im not the guy that's gonna yell out in caps about it and tell people its bs and tell them to use a nonrecommened method...

... let the people decide, if they want to install the risky DangerSPL or if they want to go with the MTD-method, but give them at least the information, that there are other, most likely better ways.
Only my 2 cent.

Heh, yeah, call me old fashioned, I just like to use the good old standards & its really not risky as long as you know how to follow directions, but yeah anything with "danger" or "death" in the title you should take with caution...
its the oddest thing though, these forums have an amazing amount of information in them if people would just do a little searching...

Requirements for ROMs were written before MTD was invented. Devs are reffering to Haykuro SPL because of need for space - MTD gives you SAME result. Of course, engeneering SPL gives you some pros like ability to flash radio from fastboot or other great features, but if you not interested in that kind of changes - you can flash 2 zips without any risk of brick and you're good to go, you have either more space at /system and far more space on /data for your apps.

I have done everything to make froyo run on my G1..but everytime i am unable to make my market and browser work..else everything is fine with me...
market:
unable to download apps
browser:
wont even open google.com displays "web page not found"
have done full wipe and Flashed 1.3 so many times still the result was same...

Any other solution to my issue....

Can you get online with anything? Wifi or data, I take it you can make calls? Did you mess with any apns, are you running anything that may be blocking... You said you have wiped and reflashed several times right.

Something wrong? If you don't provide us with needed info, we have to ask for it. If you have problem and want help with it, please give all needed information about your phone. I don't know from your post if any other programs have or do not have problems with data transfer. Of course, I may guess from your statement:
else everything is fine with me...

But again, what is everything? I don't know if it means "any other app has no problem with connecting to Internet" or "I have no other problems with this ROM". And I don't even know what ROM you are using. Everything was OK on previous software?

I am usign EDGE data connection....and i have a readio 2.22.23.02 and a danger SPL also RA 1.7.0 still i am dacing issue..though any eclair ROM running gr8..no problem in that

i recc you stick with jubeh's aosp...But some things might be broken(im not 100%) or use HTCclay's Froyo http://forum.androidspin.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1683
Clay has been doing excellent work since last year, he made great donut,eclair, and know froyo rom(s). Im using his right now and it blows away CM6 by a long shot. It feels much smoother and everything feels like it should. Plus its easy on the eyes too.

This information is ABSOLUTELY FALSE. You DO NOT need deathspl, and in fact, there are FAR FAR better ways of gaining EVEN MORE internal storage than what is offered by deathspl. Look for the "MTD" threads in the dev forum. They can gain you up to about 30 MB MORE free space than deathspl.

CM6 is super slow and crappy on my G1, so I'm looking for another Froyo ROM. Now that I've already installed DangerSPL, can I safely run ROMs that don't require it? Does it just clear some extra space? Is DeathSPL different from DangerSPL?

They are the same, but you will have difficulties to find a FroYo ROM which is not based on CM6 ...

If it's "based on" CM6, but runs faster and more reliably by making stuff leaner or support swap, apps2sd, etc, then that would be fine.
