i rooted my G1 last night (i think i suceffuly rooted it)
and i was trying to flash the JACHEROSki-v2.1 ROM to my G1, i used the old method put the recovery.img and the JACHEROSki-v2.1 (changed to "update"),then turn off phone, turn it back on with home+power, alt+s flashing in progress, here are the messages i got when installing the rom:
Installing from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
installing update...
Deleting files...
Deleting files...
Formatting System:...
Copying files...
Then the progress bar stay still not moving forward....and after a while it goes...
E:Can't chown/mod /system/xbin
(No such file or directory)
E:failure at line 80:
set_perm_recursive 0 2000 0755 0 6755 SYSTEM:xbin
Intallation aborted.
Press Home+back ro reboot
then after i reboot, the G1 logo stays on forever, i tried to reboot, and tried to flash again (at least 4 times), but same results. how can i fix this ? did i delete my own rom while flashing the new rom ? thats why i have no roms in my phone, so it wont load up? what can i do now ? i mean, i cant do anything without turning on the phone
Hero roms require the DangerSPL noted in the first post of the rom you are trying to install. I don't recommend flashing a hero rom right after rooting your phone. Considering you still need to learn about apps2sd and most important swap partitions. Download cyan 4.0.4 and start with that before you try a hero rom.
Hold home+pwr to boot into recovery to flash roms.
Also you don't need to put the recovery.img on your sd anymore, once you have flashed recovery you dont need to do it again cuz it stays on your phones internal memory. When flashing any rom you just put the .zip on your sd and rename it to update, thats it.
so you mean cyan rom is best for me right ? and how am i gonna do that when i cant boot my phone ? i dont have a card reader here so a little frustrating tho
and can you give me a link for that rom ? too many roms out there dont know which one is best for my G1, i have a 1G memory card only btw
before we go any further. Did you install cyan's recovery 1.4?
also turn the phone off, hold the camera button and power button. Give us the info shown on the screen.
i dont have cyan revovery 1.4 i only have the recovery.img
and what does it say when you hold camera and power to turn the phone on?
my friend just brought me his card reader and i put the JFv1.51_CRB43-ADP update to the sd, and flash it, now my phone works, with 1.5 firmware....
a question...if i want to install the cyan rom, i just do the same with the updates right ? put it in sd, rename to update, turn off phone, home+power, then install right ?
Seems like you got this one fingerlickin. See we can be helpful.

Correct, but if you install the new recovery you can flash any .zip without renaming. Also if you get stuck in the future and don't access to a card reader you can mount your card in adb and do everything that way.
sorry fingerlickin had to jump in.
now im getting confused...what is adb ?
and after i get this update, my internal memory is 47mb....whats alot less than what i got before...is this normal ?

adb will get your ass out of trouble when your phone acts up.

There are some good guides to use adb in there. But I ain't tryna get you confused so early, maybe that should be one of the next things you should learn. I'll stop there so you don't get confused yet, just something to learn for the future.
And did you have your card partitioned before flashing the rom? I'm being lazy and not looking at your past posts right now.
i havent yet partitioned my sdcard...i came to this forum last night, spent hours to read and learn about rooting, updating, and maybe partition....
so you think my jf update can get the app install to sdcard ? or do i have to use other roms ?

If I were you I would honestly switch from jf to a different rom. JF is to boring and outdated, plus he ain't working on roms no more so you won't have any support. I would go to one of cyanogens roms. Just partition your sd card then flash a new rom. There are multiple ways to partition your card, I use ubuntu (tut in sig) but there are other ways to do it thru the phone.
ok....i will try to find a good rom for my phone...thanks for the help there...really appreciate it
NP supreme, I had to step away from my desk for a bit but I'm back now.
cyan's recovery 1.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3915123
cyan's stable ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537204
Do the recovery first. when you get this recovery installed you don't have to rename zip files to update.zip anymore. Then flash the ROM, you will not regret using cyan's ROMs.
After this is done and everything is running normal you can do some research on partitioning the sdcard. This isn't required so don't do this until everything else is normal.
which one is better ? staple rom or 1.4 ?

1.4 is the recovery
stable rom is the actuall rom
So do both. Just do recovery first. It's not necessary to do it first but ehh
Okay, where do I begin? The PSfreedom was released for droid and a friend said I can use one of her old droids which was 2.1update1. So in my haste to flash this thing I used EasyRoot, got it rooted (of course made a nandroid backup at least), installed cyanogen 6 (made a backup of this using clockwork recovery), installed the wrong kernel, then was stuck at a loop screen. Well I kept trying and trying to boot it to Clockworkmod Recovery and nothing was working until about the time I gave up and set it down...and WHAM! Clockworkmod Reovery! So I went to nandroid, restore and clicked on my clockwork cyanogen backup. And thus I was stuck on an endless loop of the Droid eye and the Droid logo. I assumed something went wrong and tried booting into clockwork recovery to no avail. Then it finally let me into the normal recovery and I decided I should find a way to start from scratch. Now I wiped EVERYTHING and still I have the endless loop, PLUS it wont let me update to another official firmware via update.zip.
This is the error it gives me:

Can anyone help me figure out what the bejeezus is wrong?
i would suggest u check to see if there is an option to "allow install of update.zip" and click on it before you do the update. i know sprecovery has it
if all else fails, flash the 2.1 sbf file and start over, its really easy
I just got my replacement phone thru HTC and I was returning my current N1 to stock. I had CM6 installed and I rooted my phone without Unlocking it. My plan was to reinstall the stock recovery and go back to a stock unrooted Froyo.
A bunch of stuff happened and where I'm stuck at now is that I have a stock recovery. And my phone has an incomplete OS. (When it loads it just Force Closes everything.)
The last thing i flashed before the OS stopped working was: Update-Passion-Full-FRF91.zip
I tried flashing in fastboot. idk what else to do?
I'd like to either have this go back to stock like i wanted or at least get back to having RA Recovery so i can recover my nand
Please get back to me as soon as possible.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Guides_%26_Tutorials#Unroot_.2F_Restore_your_Nexus
I got mine to stock and successfully returned it to HTC for a swap without any problem using fastboot from the link above. I didn't flash it to stock 2.2 I only flashed the room that it came with from factory (really old one ERD79) and HTC didn't care.
yeah i tried doing that first. but i kept getting failed verification errors
just flash RA recovery via fastboot ( if you can, I dont't know if it will let you since you don't have bootloader unlocked)
Or try using the PASSIMG.ZIP method
Please help soon. i have to send this phone back to HTC
IMGPASS.zip did not work. Main version is older! error

HELP! PLEASE!
Read the Wiki in my signature.
Follow "Unroot/restore my Nexus" guide. Do what it says for FRG83.
flashing to FRG33 will upgrade to FRG83 and let u know how it goes or if i need help
FRG83
Successfully flashed to FRG33
but i put FRG88 on my sd card
and named it as update.zip
when i went to recover and tried to flash it says
finding update package...
opening update package..
verifying update package....
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted.
any idea?
also im still having wifi problem
when i turn on wifi it says application settings(inprocess com.androd.settings) is not responding then gives me force close
It could be that your update package was not properly signed, or it was corrupted when downloading.
Download it again and see if signature verification passes.
Also if you're sure that the update package is not signed intentionally, you may need a recovery which can ignore signature (as far as I know Amon 1.8 or above can do this)
Can someone help me out? I’m what you might call a noob. I’ve root my phone. I have s-on because my radio is 2.42.02.10.29 and I don’t think unrevoked caries that yet. But as far as I understand, that shouldn’t be a big deal since this is signed. I just have to flash manually. So I rename aospCMod-20110201-signed.zip to update.zip and save it into the root of the sd card. I start in recovery. I first Wipe data/factory reset, I then Wipe cache and I finally update. But after trying to update for a couple of seconds I get an error that says signature verification failed. I tried downloading it twice and the same thing happened both times, so I’m pretty sure it’s not a corrupted file.
Someone please help.
-thanks
also, when I enter the Android system recovery I have the error E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
I'm not sure what that means.
Flash the recovery in the op of the thread, and leave the rom filename alone.

But if it's not called update.zip the phone won't recognize it as something to flash. At least as far as I can tell.
Thanks for your help. I figured it out. I wasn't in the clockwork recovery because it just wasn't loading. When I switched to amon_ra, it worked fine. And I understand now that I don't need it to be named upgrade if you're in one of the fancy (clockwork/amon_ra) recoveries.
