Help please, I rooted my g1 a while back and forgot everything

phillyblunt said:
I have JF 1.5 installed still and think its about time to upgrade. I have the latest radio but I think I need to update my spl which is the latest version I need to use this rom. Also I have partition magic so I can use that to format the sd card for apps 2 sd right? , I just do a ext2 on one half and ext3 on the other then cops all the files from the zip of 1.7 to the root of the sd card or do I have to put the app folder on ext3 and everything else on ext2 then just flash into recovery and update with the img? sorry for the questions I rooted my phone like 9 months ago and pretty much forgot everything I read and learned.
also I do have root access because I can use wifi teather and other root things but when I went to install cyanogen recovery Image and I go to terminal and type in mount /sdcard it tells me SDcard not found in /etc/fstab and If i type create a dir it says permission denied, can anyone help with that?

Jesus f-ing Christ! Just to shut you up, I'll give you an answer... but know that I'm doing so halfway hoping you brick your phone due to the stupidity of your question.
This isn't the right place to ask questions about SPLs and partitioning cards. However, I'd suggest you look in my sig for info regarding the SPL. Most people that use Partition Magic, Paragon, etc. to partition end up with problems. If you upgrade to Amon_RA's latest Recovery, he's included an automatic partitioning script where you can even select the sizes of the partitions.
As for the files.. You FLASH the zip file via Recovery.

the link you have for Flashing the Haykuro SPL? Follow directions in post #3 HERE. does not work if you try to download the spl. Like I said I have the latest radio so once I do that spl all I will need to do pretty much is install amons latest recovery and have it partition the sd card as well has have a recovery option. Then do a nandroid backup and install the new 1.17.1 of dwangs script and I should be good to go right.

do you have a working link for that spl, again sorry for pissing you off. Just I was in a bad car accident in april been out of work and out of commission haven't really messed with my phone. Last question I promise. I got Amon_RA's latest Recovery and I renamed it to recovery.img but when i try to copy it to the data folder on system it gives me a permission denied error. Is there a file browser on the market that will let me copy it over or is their a way to browser the system files thru the pc and copy it that way. Thanks again.. merry xmas
scratch that sorry, They got me on good meds, found the spl now I just need to get the file to copy to the data folder

hmm I think I might of messed up my root access a while back. I installed what I thought was a modded cupcake firmware but Maybe I did google's. My build number says htc_dream-eng.15 cupcake eng.benji.20090609.153832 test keys and my kernel version is 2.6.27.24-cm [email protected] firmware 1.5. Do I need to go backwards or do I still have root access cause Like I said wifi tether still works. btw I am going to copy all of this and move the whole thread to the right forum board and stop posting in this one.

So do I or do I not have root, also if anyone can help me to copy that recovery.img to the system folder so I can do a nandroid backup and partition it the right way that way I can get apps 2 sd working and that new rom I want.

Sorry can you go back and quote properly, I lost all interest when it said you logged in and yeah. Might help if things were quoted

DREA 100 PVT 32B HBOOT-0.95.0000. CPLD-4. Radio 0-2.22.19.26I Sep 2 2008
2.Goto recovery mode= power+hme

Also if you have 3 skateboard droids in fastboot then you def got root.

Make sure you updated your radio before you flash your SPL!!!!

How to install google addon to a ROM?

Hello, I installed CyanogenMod 5.0 lastnight and the market and a few other applications are not there, im guessing that is the google addon can anyone tell me in detail how to install that? Thanks

You need to flash to ER27 Google add on pack here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623496
Current link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/jmmzywtlnjd/gapps-passion-ERE27-2-signed.zip

thanks...How do i flash it?

I would like to know also. I've gone into recovery and added the file to the SD card than tried to run it, only to tell it me it's not a zip. So I renamed it and also tried compressing it as zip(just to make sure) and I get an error.
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted

Download the add on from that page listed, place it on the root of your sdcard, reboot into recovery, flash it in recovery (the same way you flashed the ROM, but do not wipe), then reboot your phone.

That is exactly what I did. I sent a pm w/ more details. I tried covering all grounds just to make sure if one failed the other one would'nt.
Edit: Should USB debugging be on/off? Don't know if that makes a difference
Edit: Figured it out. Everytime i would downlad the file on my mac it would not be a .zip file so renaming it and compressing it did nothing. I downloaded it on my pc and voila, it works fine..weird...

This is because you enable auto open files in Safari. The actual zip file is in your Trash lol.
To disable it (and u should), open Preferences > General > Uncheck Open "safe" file after downloading

How to install the Google Addon?
You have to change the name of the file (ex: "gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip") to "update.zip". Move it to your SDcard and then install from recovery.

You don't need to be in "Debuggin mode", neither to rename to "update.zip".. Just use ROM manager provided by cyanogenmod and go wiki :

Hope it will help you!

Hello Dacid1171,
I installed Cyanogenmod 7.0.0, with no google apps of course.
I used gapps-gb-20110307-signed pack, went to recovery and chose "Install from SD card", just like I would if I was flashing new ROM.
After that the phone wouldn't book. Logo of cyanogenmod would appear with the circular arrow moving around it, after 3 round it stops and restarts all over.
It was kept that way for a very long time hoping that the phone will come to life. It wouldn't.
What did I do wrong?

Flash cm7 rom again follow by the gapps than reboot.

[Q] No Market on Custom ROM

Hi,
I have just rooted my phone and Indigo Bean is first ROM I have flashed. I have to say I am really impressed with the speed of the device and the it also looks cool to boot. So big up, thanks for all your hard work.
One thing I cant get my head around though is that there is no 'market' app available? I also tried Azure, which loaded ok and worked a treat but there was also no 'market' app available. Am I missing something? I read something about flashing google apps but cant find anything specific to the HTC Legend.
Thanks guys..

You need to install Google Apps. Download the zip gapps-hdpi-FRF91-2-signed.zip (search the forums). flash the rom, then without wiping flash again with this zip.

Ok, sorry, but I'm not that technical tbh. Have you a link to working instructions etc.
From what I can gather, you are asking me to download that zip file. Then save it the root directory of my SD card. Then reboot into recovery mode and select flash from SD card. then I select the .zip file from the menu and reboot?
Sorry for the noobness, still getting my head around all of this.

If you would read the threads about those two roms you would learn that you need to flash two different files. First the Rom and then the file containing Google apps.

the file can be downloaded here: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=gapps-hdpi-FRF91-2-signed.zip (just google it!)
And yes, flash your rom, enter recovery again (using rom manager), flash zip from sd card, choose the google apps zip (the one you googled above) and flash. Not that difficult!

[Q] Over clocking DIY thread...

I have searched a lot, spent time trying to figure everything out.
I have Hero that I am trying to make BA for my little bro. I have the evo now. Rooted and tethering. Not much else I need to mess with on it. Fast enough for me. But my old hero is now rooted and has the app to tether. I can't figure out how the heck to over clock it. It is slow and I want to kick it up a couple notches for him.
I have searched and all the codes that you guys use at the top throw the searches off, or maybe I am searching for the wrong thing.
Any links to other threads would be great. That way when someone else searches just over clocking like I did it will come to this thread and then link to the useful threads.
Thanks in advanced.

I see you are rooted already, is the phone running a stock rom? If so think about installing [ROM] cyanogenMod 6.1 stable (<<<<search). Then you flash a [Kernel] [GPL] DecaFuct [2.6.29.6] (<<<<search) and install a app called OverClock Widget, it is easier to use than the other one you can use called SetCPU. Thats pretty much it, somebody may chime in that can put a few links up but I am on my phone right now so I cant.

DecaFuct Max 768Mhz Kernel
DecaFyct Max 698Mhz Kernel
Decad3nce's Kernel OP Thread
These are JayBob's CM6.2 ROM Downloads.

Okay, so I need to back up my phone? Can I use the app on the android market MyBackup by Rerwarre, LLC? Then I need to download the files you linked me to in this thread? And then what?

Okay. I am sure you are all tired of hearing from me. But I am going to flash a ROM that has a over clock on it. I have a question tho. When I download the files. It unzips them. By that I mean I can open the folder and explore all of the files. Does this make it impossible to load that ROM? Thanks for your quick responses in advanced.

You dont want the file unzipped. Leave it zipped and put it on the root of SD card, that means just on the SD card, not in another file. Then reboot into recovery by powering phone off, then hold down the power button and the home button at the same time, keep them down until recovery comes on. If a white page comes up instead of recovery that says clear storage, pull battery and try again. Once in recovery you should see a few options. Nandroid, select this by clicking track ball while highlighted, this will back up your current system. After that choose install zip from SD card, then select the rom you loaded on SD card. After is says done, choose reboot system now. Then find Gapps 12-18-2010, I think those are the latest ones. Put them on root of SD like you did the rom and reboot into recovery the same way, choose the install zip from SD and select the Gapp file. Then reboot system amd you will set phone up with google like you did when it was new. You can then install one of the kernels linked for you, I recommend the 768 one, download OverClock Widget from the market and set it to 748, if your phone reboots for no reason lower that to 729, 710, wherever it becomes stable for you.

Okay, I did nandroid, I cleared everything, and I loaded the zip'd file ( I was trying to say earlier it is my mac's default action to un zip the file when it downloads. So I re compressed it. This might be attributing to my later problems) ANd then I rebooted. And it looks and behaves exactly the same as before.
Any pointers or ideas why it did this?

Since you re compressed it, it may need to be resigned before flashing. I could be wrong though

What does resigned mean?

ANybody have any idea why my ROMS arent loading at all?

Not quite sure if this will work on mac, you may need to find a XP pc to do this from. Here is a link to a zip signer though, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805766&highlight=zip+signer
Another thought...
Can you download the rom using the phone, then move file from download folder to root of SD card, using a file manager such as Astro or even better E Strongs File Explorer? I have read where some members have rooted, installed roms, kernels, theme, with no PC at all.

awesome idea on doing it from my phone. I didn't know it was a Mac problem. I can just run boot camp and boot up my mac with windows OS and try it on that. Thanks again.

Okay, i am trying to do it all from the phone. But the file is too large for the phones memory. And I can't figure out how to download righto the SD card. Any pointers here?

That's weird it should. I have my applications checked to be installed to external memory but I don't know if that makes a difference or not. Mine go to sd

How would I click that option.

Ok what rom are you running again?
I just go to settings then cyanogenmod settings then application settings & it will let you choose

The factory ROM trying to get the first custom one loaded.

use the xda app and navigate to the thread that has the rom you want to install. from there click the link of the rom and it will go to SD card in a file called downloads. after completed plug phone into PC/mac and move that file/rom to root of SD card. Then reboot recovery and flash, done. There are literally 100+ threads on installing a rom, search, read, learn. What recovery do you have installed?

Okay downloading it to my Windows 7 bootcamp worked like a charm. I did the red dawn ROM. Isn't that one already over clocked?

I believe it is, 710 maybe not to sure I have never ran it. There are faster smoother roms to run, why that one when we have Froyo for the Hero

Don't appologize for asking questions-we all need answers to one thing or another
The first thing you want to do is go to the android market and search for Rom Manager. You already have this installed if you are running CM7, but you need to update it to the newest version.
Then, Just open your app drawer and open up Rom Manager. When it opens, the very top line says "Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery". Tap on that, choose Nook Color, and it will update to the newest version 3.2.0.1.
Hope this Helps!

What's the best way to update recovery on sdcard? Mod manager only updates the internal flash..

I downloaded an updated version located HERE and extracted the files and attached them for you. Just download and unzip the files to your current CWM SD card.

Ok, thanks! So you can indeed copy the files as-is.. with Paleolithic dos 3.2 origin, I tend to expect you need to use special app to copy the system files. In any case, I've installed the boot menu on SD card so by defaults I boot internal flash. No need to lose sanity removing the easy-to-lose usd card.. I can also start the recovery from internal flash..

Yes, I have updated a couple times by just transferring the updated files onto my bootable CWM card. I have done a number of back-ups and restores without a problem. The files are self-contained file systems, so not much damage from a simple transferring of them. If you want to install a special app for windows to be able to update the SD card in the future, then I would download this very handy tool, ImDisk, it will allow windows to mount the updated img file and extract the files from it.
