this is odd - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

solved!!!!

You lost root when you rolled back to rc 29. You'll need to redo the process.

Yep just like he said. When you reload RC29 you lose root.

Yes I know I lost root not worried about that. My phone will not let me install in apk. From the market or the internet. I can down load them but not install them

any ideas
let me clear stuff up. i know i lost root im not trying to flash anything to my phone. ( i have rooted 3 different g1s several times and a couple of different ways i have good idea how this works i think)
i cant install any application on my phone!
i am getting a installation unsuccessful error with all .apks on rc 29.
also this mean i can not get root back do the fact i cant telnet or run any third party app.
so my phone i stuck in original stock hell.

The problem is that rc29 is based on Android 1.0 and currently the telnet app in the market is made for Android 1.5... that's why that, or any other of your 1.5 apps, fail to install.
Try to find a copy fo the 1.0 release of telnetd and try again

sorry thought you were providing a link to one click root thread sorry its been a long night.

ok i think i had a swap partition still on my sd card. and when i flashed back it some how read that as internal memory so i used another card. and it worked like magic. lol gosh im dumb!!! if you ever need anything feel free to ask me i would give some money but im broke college kid. and im about to test and see if get the same results and if i do i would like the word out. because i think one click root app will be short lived (which kind of sucks).

Lol... That sounds comforting. I'm actually going to wait an see if any xda devs decide to mess around with this and mod their own version before I start using this as my new way to root.
Believe me it works, over at Android community .com I spent 5 hours downgradng my phone trying to get it to stock 1.5 [EPIC FAIL by the way] but I got in touch with him via Twitter and he came to the group and explained it a lot better.
What it does is it uses a security hole thats always been in the android platform to install Cyans 1.4 recovery image and from here you can flash any rom, I never got to try it but I believe and blnldy will say it works.
The .apk has been turned into an application in the market I believe its called Recovery Flasher and Besides me someone else confirmed it work.
Its really neat!

Some help?

I tried using the search but I get NOTHING relating to how to root a Nexus One, so if someone has the link can you please paste it here? Trust me I wouldn't bother posting this but the forum search is pissing me off.

The basic steps are the same. Flash the recovery image as instructed in that guide, and then flash a pre-rooted kernel like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686627
That's gonna be the easiest method for you I think.

Hmm I did it the way I remembered with the oem unlock, recovery image flash, then the addon zip and it seems to have worked fine. Bootloader is unlocked and I am rooted, still running Froyo, but now am missing my keyboard...
Ah screw it I'm going to go with the FRF50 and see if that pans out and if not there is always a CM'd 2.1 to fall back to.
Try it with the kernel I linked to? It's optimized for FroYo.

Yup couldn't agree more and 99% of the time all it takes is a wipe of everything and start over, and I love that I can do that. Like I screwed up the root and the OS was booting into landscape mode, for everything. Thank god the files downloaded fast and its back to normal!
By the way, with the root on 2.2, all the applications and what not should still work right? Like marketenabler and setcpu? Speaking of setcpu am I still safe to use the UV and OC kernal with 2.2 or should I avoid that?

How would I do that then, my Froyo is already rooted, can I just reflash that and be all good or how else do I get that kernal?
If you've got an aftermarket recovery image installed, you can just download the zip file that is linked in that other thread, put it on your microSD card, and flash it from recovery.

Very awesome and it worked fine.
I'm going to guess I am missing a nice chunk of Marketplace apps because this is 2.2, notably some of the ones I bought, but its no biggie; marketplace enabler isn't installing but once again its a small trade off for what I am getting.
Glad it worked for you.
On the Market stuff, look around - I believe there are several threads discussing the issues and possible fixes/workarounds. I'm roaming in the middle of the desert so no Market to be found here or else I'd be able to help more.
Good luck!

Stuck in "starting download" in marketplace

D/L'ed Titanium backup last night and started removing unnecessary stock apps. Tried today to D/L from the marketplace and each D/L gets stuck in "starting download." I was reading somewhere that removing Google Talk might have something to do with this. Any suggestions?

There are a lot of people who have issues with the market if they remove google talk. If you removed it, try replacing it and see what happens.

download link? should I just extract it from a custom rom?
Also, instead of starting a new topic..I have already rooted my phone but can't seem to find a step by step to installing a custom rom. I D/L'ed Darchdroid 2.7 but don't really know where to go from there. Link or see below?
Is this the correct way?
Download ROM ZIP of Choice: XDA Wiki - ROMs
1) Copy ROM ZIP to SDCard Root (/sdcard/)
2) Reboot into recovery mode>Flash zip from sdcard>select ROM ZIP

Okay so I have been experiencing the same problems. I am a bit new to this but have been reading like crazy on how go fix it.
So here's the deal: I have the Droid X 2.1 w/update (not 2.2), rooted, and yesterday I started uninstalling annoying stock apps, using Titanium Backup. Not thinking anything of it, I then go to the market and realize that I cannot download anything. My phones internet works great! (I'm using it to write this now) and I can even download apps from the phones stock browser, but the Market is stuck on download. I followed your instructions on uninstalling it, canceling it, rebooting it, but nothing is working. I think wiped my phone thinking it would reinstall the stock apps. To my dismay, nope. So now I have no apps on my phone except the few stock apps I have left. I heard the problem is Google Talk but if i'm not mistaken, DroidX can't flash ROMS. So any suggestions? I'm open to all!

[Q] Rooting 2.2

Is anyone almost done with an easy way for the general user to root 2.2? 2.2 is awesome, but I don't want to swap Kernels or do any of that other advanced stuff..
1. Flash to stock
2. Install Rom Manager
3. Flash Cognition with Rom Manager
4. Done!

Hey all,
I am at the Stock ROM, step 1. But when I install ROM Mgr is states that I must be rooted to use.
As I read this thread, I need to be rooted to move to step 2. The whole idea of moving through these steps is to root my phone.
Am I missing something? Thanks...

just use one of the dozens of 'one click' roots that are found all over these forums....
Yes you can call me out. I deserve it.
But in my defense i tried everything and was at my wits end.
That said, i gave up too early. I tried one more time and just went to bed. When i got up i had 2.2. I dont know if it was Santa Claus or the Android Fairy and i dont care. It works.
Now i have the horrible lag issue and a Quadrant score of 950.
And now i have to face updating again and it spooks me.
Noobs, read the threads that deal with Froyo 2.2 and rooting. All the information is there. I am still a noob as are many others on the site, but with a little bit of reading and asking questions in those specific threads will get you far.
ok so many dumb questions:
I have ROM manager downloaded but it wont do anything because i cant do the Clockwork deal because my SD card is not mounted. I dont have a removable SD card but i do have one ordered and on the way. Does this mean i cant put Cognition on my phone using Rom Manager?

It doesn't matter if you have an external sd card. You must have USB debugging checked(applications - development)
Are you rooted?
Yeah thats the other thing. I am not rooted.

cognition is a rom by itself. if you want to use it, you need to flash back to stock using the odin one click restore to stock and then root it, run rom manager clockwork recovery mode, then install cognition from clockwork recovery mode.
there is no way to go from 2.2 to any version of cognition without flashing the kernel back to stock
the easiest method to do this is to just flash the whole phone back to stock.

[Q] missing market apps

i had my phone upgraded by a friend to cognition 3.02, which was a bonus after he fixed some settings so the phone could read my sim again. everything works great, but i have run into yet another problem. the app store doesent show me all the apps, and i actually cant find anything i was able to use before, all is shows me is a bunch of apps that have less than 50 downloads. i also sometimes get a message saying that my device might not be compatible with the android market. All i want is to the the market to work properly and not have to bring it back in so my friend has to waste more time toying around with it.
All is appreciated

Did you back up your android id when on stock?
Did you try this, settings, applications, manage, market, clear data?

Yeah it seems that way. To be honest that should have been your first stop to find the answer as most issues are posted and fixed there. If you flash with odin to the correct firmware then yes it will. What firmware did you have?
