I flashed the rom fine, but when I try to flash the blur theme, it hangs on the G1 boot screen? What am I doing wrong?
I think there are numerous posts IN the Akirah 1.6 thread that cover this.

So, wanting to try different ROMs, I decided to flash haykuro's 1.33.2005 SPL. I was coming from the stock G1 spl, 0.95.0000 Prior to installing I check to see if I had the latest radio, and infact I did have 2.22.19.26I. So I just went ahead and flashed the spl and now Im stuck at the G1 splash screen. So far I have tried:
*WIPE, FLASH Cyanogen 4.2.6,WIPE
*nandoid-backupfailed
I can boot into recovery
any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Device info
TMO G1
ROM cyanogen 4.2.6
Radio 2.22.19.26I
Theme NONE
SD Class 6 adata 8gig fat32/ext3/swap
EDIT2: OK! I retried a nandroid restore and it was successful, but it backup to a very old back up lol. Now im back to 4.04 and using a theme. Im going to reflash 4.2.6 now. After going to the bootloader, it seems the lastest spl is still installed. Any idea what went wrong?
EDIT 3:
After flashing 4.2.6 I got the same problem (stuck at the G1 splash screen). Did another nandroid backup and Im back to 4.04. ALso I am back running 1.5 cupcake. Ill try going back to 1.6 then reflashing 4.2.6.
OK, did the procedure to upgrade to 1.6 and now all is well. But my question is, what did this happen in the first place?
I have a tmob G1 and I've been running cyanogen for months with no problem. When I updated to 4.2.12 I noticed performance issues that I'd never seen before. This is commented on a lot at the cyanogenmod site and thats where I did most of my research. I read a post where someone factory defaulted, and then re-installed 4.2.12 and said it was flying again. They use DRC83 defanged? I know where to find that but I'm not sure what it is or if I need that. Many ppl made like comments. I read that I should get the radio and recovery imgs at the htc site so I did and flashed both. This is where (I think) I made my first mistake as I have a G1 and not an ADP1. My phone is now running fine with stock 1.6 and the above radio but instead of G1 it says my phone is a ADP1 (obviously). I've tried to install cyanogen 4.2.13 but I'm guessing that I am not rooted anymore because I can't? I've tried the rooting ADP instructions from cyanogen wiki and that doesn't work. Looking at the same instructions for the G1 it says I need to downgrade to RC29 but that seems like a big step backwards. Is that what I need to do? Do I have to start all over again? I don't know what my next move should be? Thanks!
Gonna have to Use the DreaIMG and go back down(make sure dont have danger SPL,but you went back down so dont think you do) then get the "signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721" and a recovery (i like amon ra 1.5.2) and get your fav rom( i would give superD 1.2 a try[1.6 requires danger SPL] and 1.2 seems the most stable) but if your goin to use cyan rom get the latest cyan rom, from there after flashed recovery go into recovery do a wipe then flash the dev ota, dont reboot, then flash cyans rom after do a reboot and should be back on cyan's rom
Brilliant! I'm back up and running latest cyanogen. I completely missed the part about dreaimg in the wiki instructions. Thanks for the help.
Also, out of curiosity, why do you like super d? Whats the difference between it and cyanogenmod? Thanks again.
Super D is, in a way, one step faster then the current CM build. It comes with a 10mb ram hack pre-installed as well which is always nice. Don't get me wrong, CM has a dedicated thread on 10mb ram hacks.
Ultimately, it comes down to user experience. And it's always nice to try something new.

I like Cyan roms just as much as anybody, to a personal pref. i had lot of problems, gapps went missing after updated, FC's and what not, and i did everything from going back down(dreamimg) to update from latest, still had problems, then i wen to superD and i notice a great increase of speed and all around well stabled rom
ok so its been a long time sense I upgraded ROM's and Firmware (Nov 22,2009). here is what i'm running on a HTC Dream (G1)
Firmware Version: 1.6
Baseband Version: 62.50s.20.17u_2.22.19.26I
Kernel version:2.6.29.6-cm42 shade (at) toxygene <----(at) = at sign but the forum wont let me post it as i am a new member
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-4.2.14.1
build number: DRC83
and a fancier boot loader, but don't know which one it is
8Gb SD Card (1GB ext2/512Mb swap/ rest fat32)
I keep getting a.core process force close but just live with it
I no longer see ROMs by Cyangon or Jesus Freak so what ROM should i jump to next? i would still like 5 screen and the power control widget. once I upgraded to what I have I lost the multi touch zoom
please try to keep the flaming to a min.
thanks in advance
you evidently haven't looked on the second page of dev forum... Cyan's up to Eclair 2.1 already...
Just search.... then read.... I like to start at the top of the page somewhere around a sticky

Does anyone else find it deliciously ironic that a guy called "Trial&error" is asking what to do next, instead of finding the best thing for him by a process of trial and error?

well i dont want another bricked G1
i have the cyanogenMOD v1.4 + JF boot recovery image
my G1 is rooted if i didn't mention that earlier
so if i understand everything correctly i need to:
1) radio update [G1-radio-2_22_23_02.zip]
2)nandroid
3)wipe
4)dangerSPL
5)CM5.x
6)gapps
Fair enough about the brick. Most of the newer ROM specify what has come to be known as the "death SPL" which if the proper steps are not taken and the proper hardware is not owned, can produce such a paper weight.
Anyway, SuperE hands down IMO if you want Eclair (2.1) or SuperD (if ya wanna stick to Donut/1.6). Also, there are several posts detailing how to shrink a ROM to try and avoid the possible brick from SPL updates. Just look around in the development section; its ALL there...
Good luck!

I followed the instructions here :
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/DangerSPL
This is what I did :
My radio was already OK so I
copied the SPL, ROM, Gapps to the root of my card,
did a Nandroid backup,
wiped my card,
flashed the SPL, rebooted, finished the SPL install,
Installed ROM and Gapps, rebooted
I then booted into recovery and restored the Nandroid and then flashed the new ROM again as the Nandroid restores it to CM 4.whatever it was.
Seems a lot of farting about but it worked. I had to reinstall a few of my apps but most of them worked straight off. One thing - I had to enable Apps2SD again but everythings fine after I did that.
Hope this works....
1) radio update G1-radio-2_22_23_02.zip
2)nandroid
3)wipe
4)dangerSPL
5)CM5.x
6)gapps
i didnt do a reboot between the SPL and CM5.7....no its just stuck at the G! screen
F*CK!!
ok
so i rebooted into recovery reflashed the slp
rebooted
flashed CM5.0.7-SD
then Gapp
rebooted
now its at a fancy animation screen.....
who long should this take?
nevermind its booted
now if i can only remember my google login and password
Hi all, just looking for some advice. I was recently running CM6 on my G1 but I got a vibrant yesterday. With that said, i'm giving my g1 to my sister and was just gonna throw a Super D, or quicker donut rom of some sort so she doesn't have to deal with lag/learn how to use apps like setcpu and such, itd confuse her too much. When I try flashing back to any Donut ROM, i'm getting stopped at the boot animation. It's not even looping it, just consistently going. Any reason as to why? Here's some specs.
Danger SPL
Amon Ra 1.7.0
Newest G1 Radio
Thanks guys.
Try another 1.6 rom, there are faster out there. Just make sure that you wiped clean.
Use every wipe option on there.
Did you do a full wipe

If you are using Firerat's MTD hack, you need to downgrade your recovery to ra-1.6.2. Remember that the new recovery does not agree with the old apps to sd. From there, do a full wipe, flash DRC83_base_defrangled, and super D. You should probably install the market ADW as well, (superD uses an old version of it), and also remove the spareparts and terminal just so she doesn't mess with it.
I read the root guide yesterday and did everything right, but I am currently flashed to 1.4, the same one linked at the end of the tutorial thread. Most apps in Market aren't there (not compatible) and it looks older. What do I do to flash to a newer one? I was wanting to go to Donut SuperFast 1.6 but I read it requires Death SPL. Am I alright using Hard SPL?
If so, what do I do? Just wipe, then flash the 1.6 over the 1.4?
Thanks
