g1 hero install problems - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

what spl should i have ? i have haykoros one but most if not all hero roms will not install , even pulse and cyno ones wont , all i get is constant reboot from the black screen and green android writing ?
i can only think its a spl issue ? should i try and use the hard spl?

yes i have wiped it and dalvik etc my recovery has the option to wipe ext etc any other ideas?

You need to read the instructions and wipe your ext partition first and it won't hurt to wipe after the flash.
Boot loops really have nothing to do with the spl as it won't install on anything but the danger spl.

well this is what i do whenever i flash
wipe ext
repair ext
factory wipe
flash
if that doesnt work then most likely the zip file that u trying to flash is a bad download(didnt download completely) it happens at times

HERO to CYANOGEN?

G1 is stuck on T-Mobile G1 screen for over 10 mins HELP! I wiped everything.
If you want help, I recommend telling us specifically what you did (what Hero you were on, what version of Cyan you flashed, what recovery you're using)
But without knowing any of that, I'm going to suggest (assuming you have Amon_Ra's latest recovery) that you boot to recovery and wipe everything a couple times, then flash Cyan. By everything, I mean Factory Reset, Wipe EXT, Wipe Dalvik-Cache, and to be safe, Repair EXT. And do all those at least once, factory reset again, and flash.

Yes Amon RA latest recovery. I wiped all that but i didnt do the repair part. Im trying to flash the latest cyanogen.
Well it's best to be safe rather than sorry, so wipe, wipe, and wipe again. afaik, wiping will do you no harm

You don't mods will, and it wasn't flamed or anything so it'll probably stay for awhile

Make sure your wiping old data in recovery.. and if flashed a new kernal or radio could also cause a problem too

yes i did Wipe data/factory reset ,Wipe cache,Wipe Dalvik-cache but just now i discovered that after doing this and still last installed rom has not been wiped its still there wtf what should i do and yes i did install 2.6.34.1_AVS-925mV_BFS_1113Mhz kernel how do i completely wipe everything???
Umm also do wipe sd partition, then do another wipe factory and cache-.. then do a repair sd then try to flash new rom.. this is what i usually do when i install new roms
still no luck i even did clear storage then wiped everything and i dont use app2sd(ext) i dontunderstand what to do i even tried with the clockworkmod's recovery still the same
sorry man, My only guess and idea is try to flash back to a normal kernal, then flash rom.. only thing i can come up with atm, or you can wait and see if some one that comes up with a better solution
where can i find norman kernel or any kernel which can fix this?

[Q] (Full) Wipe doesn't work

Hi guys.
today i decided to make a step from CM5.0.8 to a Sense Rom.
First i updated my
recovery: RA-dream-v1.7.0
radio: G1-radio-2_22_23_02
spl: Danger / Death ..
so i tried to flash the "ZX 2.1 HERO v1.5.1, Release 1.5.1" ROM.
but my G1 freezed on the second boot screen.
i tried some times again, but it never worked.
then i tried the happyROM - didn't work, too.
So, i made a full wipe (data/factory reset + cache + dalvik-cache + sd:ext partition + battery stats + rotate settings)
Now i tried to restart the phone without any ROM flashed.
But still the "happyROM" - boot animation appears.
Do you have any ideas how to help me?

* Wrong section. Its a Q hence it shud b under Q/A
* Have u tried to fastboot erase system -w ? Not sure if the rom does it already but on cm roms that seemed to fix issues for some people
* Can u post a log ? Thnx
I'm sorry for writing in the wrong section :/
I didn't try fastboot erase system -w yet.. I've never heard of this before..
And i just tried to flash the first ROM again.. and now it works.
I don't know why, but it does.
But thanks for your help.
The next time this problem appears (..I hope, it won't), i will try the fastboot thing.
Cheers

Your recovery is most likely damaged, reflash a new one. It happened to me once.
BTW this should be in Q&A, I have asked for a move of this topic.
Repartition your sdcard and make sure you have at least 96mb swap and upgrade the ext all the way to ext4. These are pretty much universal settings for hero roms on a G1.

[Q] Extremely slow boot-time when new rom

Hi, tried serveral roms now but after I restart the phone and with the new rom installed it takes forever to boot. Havent got past the bootlogos at all. Have tried to let the phone boot for like an hour or so...
Normal original rom works fine. What is wrong?
Try doing a full wipe

Yes, I have done a nand backup and restored to my original rom and it works.
After that I then wipe both data and dalvik cache and install a rom. I still get the slow boot time of the rom, or should it take long? More than a hour?
With example with SPQRom I get the blue android on skateboard for like forever, have not get passed that screen.
Something must be wrong?
I tried booting up without a sd-card and nothing changed, same problem. I believe it must be that I dont have any space left on the phone.
Is there a command in recovery to type to see available space?
I have these kind of problems a long time. Nothing works. I tried all above plus many times, plus other things, as format sd card, change sd card, wipe through adb, wipe system, and others I cannot remember.
I have the same problem with SPQRom, version 0.4.1 and I solved once by manually push the libaudio files in lib directory after rom flashing. But maybe your error is different.
I have similar problem with version 0.5, but in this case the problem appears in earlier stage(in first TATTOO screen). And I have this problem with other versions and roms like fyodor's, ikxdf's... And this happens only with 2+ custom roms and in some versions not all. With 1.6 roms I never had problem(with any rom or version I tried).
So I don't know if is device's problem or rom's building.
Oops, that does not sound good at all.
I have only tried 2.2 roms, maybe should try with a 1.6 rom and see if it works..
Ok, so a 1.6 rom works. Damn.

This is not a ROM, it's SPL and radio for you G1.
It's [HOW-TO] Haykuro SPL, Danger SPL, Death SPL FOR DREAM/G1
ROM and SPL/radio is not the same.
And did you already ROOT your G1?
Yea i have rooted it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746667 sorry
