Can't boot to CM Recovery but... - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't boot to CM Recovery 1.4.
But I can boot to the SPL (Three Skateboards with white Screen)
I have a white G1 specs are:
8GB ADATA SD Class 6
Partioned at: 2GB EXT 2 32MB Swap Rest FAT32
I am updated on the newest radio and the SPL.
I am running Cyan 4.0.4
The Scenario:
I was playing COD5 on PS3. I went to Ifap.to on phone while it was on Wifi. So then I was trying to skip through the video and the phone obviously froze up and then it shut off and reboot itself. It never got past the T-Mobile G1 screen.
Then I tried to go to recovery by holdinh home + power and it doesn't work. So I held down power + camera and it goes to the three skateboards so I know I'm not bricked(not yet) What can be the issue and what would I have to do to fix this.
Please email me or post here whichever is convenient to you.
Thanks,
I WILL DONATE BEER MONEY TO 1ST PERSON WHO HELPS FIX MY DAMN PHONE!!

lol. Ps3, pron, and a g1. Talk about multitasking. Unless he got an extra hand or mad skillz that's probably a negative on the liquids.

well active sync wont connect anymore i was getting ready to go to a new rom and now active sync wont connect and i hard reset the device so... i need to
a. fix this tonight
b. fix this tonight
or c. go to oem stuff and send it back in (i dont know how to get it back to oem rom without active sync though) also if this helps it will sync to my older comp
You can flash another ROM by going into the bootloader (tri-colored screen) hold the volume down button and reset keep holding until the bootloader comes up then conect to your PC and when you see USB at the bottom you are connected to your PC and can flash any ROM! Thats how you bypass active sync to flash!

Right on! Yea just like normal, double click the wrapper.RUU and your good! Glad that worked for you!
What I did and I would recomend to anyone is to buy a 1 gig SDcard and format it to FAT32 and use that just for flashing, its easy to do and its safer and much faster, cuts your flash time in half! If you are interested I can walk you through it! I havent connected to active sync for a couple of months!

You can but I still think flashing by SD card is the best, it just cuts out the middle man and gets a cleaner flash, less chance of anything going wrong too, ie: cords getting pulled out mid flash, ect, ect. Still, I am not sure if there are long term problems that can come out of starting flash strait from the bootloader everytime, I will have to look into it! Good question though! I am just glad you got it working, hate to see someone lose their phone or be out of one for awhile!

It depends on what bands the phone uses, The tp2 uses 850/900/1800/1900 MHz and at&t uses 850/1900 for their 3G so maybe or maybe not if you buy a euro version as some blackstones dont work with US 3G, but T-Mobile will be getting one and calling it the wing 2 and it will have 850/900/1800/1900 MHz so its possible that will work after it is SIM unlocked, we will have to see! Personaly I love the look of the Fuze and will wait awile before getting a tp2!
Hey im at school and i was thinking if the euro version only works sometimes then should i just wait til it comes out for att. but i wonder how long because i really am thinking about buying a euro version because it is a combo of all the phones i wanted. and did you know that verizon is still selling the the origanal touch
Also hey mods this is getting off topic but the problem was solved so you can lock this if you wish.
long-ass sigs
Seriously guys, especially considering that a lot of people are viewing these threads on telephones, how about rethinking whether or not having 18-line signatures identifying that you are in fact an HTC user (with an image to that effect), that you've used four different phones throughout your life along with individual lines to identify which rom and radio you've used for each (including those roms and radios of your Treos?!) is beneficial to the community. Signal to noise ratio people, signal to noise.
Now that you're thinking, yeah, that's pretty dumb of me, where's the control panel link, now think to yourself, why would you do that in the first place? I mean, c'mon. No one cares that you gave your palm 750 to your dad which ran a stock radio. Christ.
Mods too, you're the worst (I'm looking at you P1Tater) with your animated gifs. Okay I'll obey the rules because you've got high-production-value gifs that are more appropriate for les discothèques than XDA.

RyanZA's lag fix: will it work on the vibrant? **UPDATE** IT WORKS!!

**UPDATE**
it works provided you don't have any of the previous ext stuff set up.
**UPDATE2**
rhcp0112345 has put together a *nix / osx based version of the script.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7582553&postcount=37
**UPDATE3**
anomalous3 made a modified version that uses bind mounting instead of symlinks and will remove the init.d ext version of apps2sd. NOTE: ONLY FOR PEOPLE WITH THE init.d ext hack!

I tried it using rhcp0112345's version and I'm now getting over 2100 in quadrant, w00t!
**UPDATE5**
rhcp0112345 posted a one click .apk version

over in the samsung galaxy s section ryanZA seems to have come up with a lag fix that is much better then the /data->SD version.

has anyone tried this on the vibrant? im assuming it should work because it only does some partitioning which doesn't really seem like much of a change to anything that might be different between the models....
anyways im not gona try it till i get some confirmations that it does in fact work on the vibrant...

Interesting. It should work fine. I considered that angle, but the bottleneck seemed to be the flash itself. The **** rfs filesystem could certainly be part of the problem though. I'll see if I can work something up that uses our existing stuff like the init.d so we can fsck the filesystem before mounting it to make sure it doesn't get corrupted. It would be nice to not require partitioning as that step seems to confuse the hell out of people for some reason. The down side is possible delays from traversing 2 filesystem drivers, but Quadrant at least seems to like it fine. I wonder how the general lag is for them now, benchmarks aren't everything.

Haha thats true but developers especially ones that make ROMs go thru testing and risk their DEVICES to make sure that nothing is going wrong and all that before "releasing" it. Although this isn't a release of his works he could of at least tested it without telling other people to go try it out, but im gonna sit here and wait for a status report.
same here! i really want this to work for the vibrant.. will keep an eye on this thread

Yea, I tried something similar yesterday and my Quadrant is at 2100+. It's the same idea, just not from him.

I ran the fix and I got 1700 in Quadrant... hmm I wonder how I can get it above 2000...
Edit: I rebooted... now got 2153.

[Q] First flash to new ROM from stock: n00b questionss

Hello everyone, first post I'm an android noob, I love gadgets and cell phones, but am not computer savvy. I am almost ready to flash my first ROM onto my captivate, which is currently running android 2.1 update 1, OCLF v2.2+ Donate Version, autokiller, autostarts, and has touchwiz and Launcher Pro Plus (launcher pro is the default skin), but before I flash to a new ROM, I want to make sure I'm doing everything right to minimize the possibility of bricking my captivate. I think that is all the relevant information but let me know if there is anything else I should mention... I LOVE LOVE LOVE my captivate and I'm a teacher with more debt than income so I would really be quite sad if it bricks.
OK here's the rundown!
Clockwork Recovery
I don't really understand the different versions of Clockwork Recovery, but I know that I have *some* form/version of it on my captivate. I rooted using RyanZA's OCLF (MAJOR props to him; his app made me me fall in love with my phone/android in general) which I *think* made me get Clockwork Recovery, or maybe it was busybox. About a month ago I downloaded Titanium Backup, which I also *think* made me download Clockwork Recovery. Then I deleted TB about an hour later because at the time I didn't have any use for it (although I guess perhaps now I should get it back). Most recently I downloaded the "pro" or "full" or something version of ROM Manager (what a great app, I'm surprised something so essential isn't already part of android. I forked out the 5 bucks because, like RyanZA, the dev deserves the props if you can afford it, but nothing other than "free stuff" appears in the "download ROM" section, which sounded super convenient, and was supposed to come with the paid version... anyone know why this might be?), and I know for sure that I installed/downloaded/? Clockwork onto my phone through the ROM manager because I just did it like two days ago. --> OK I Just went into ROM Manager to look at it again and it says "current recovery: Clockwork Mod 2.5.1.2"
Anyway the reason I'm asking about this is because I remember reading a couple of different articles that said something like "make sure you have the right version of clockwork before you flash to a new ROM or you will brick your phone and you will never be happy and nobody will ever love you." However I might be thinking about busybox? which brings me to:
Busybox
To be honest I never even really understood what exactly busybox is but I think I read somewhere that, like clockwork, it said something like "make sure you have the right version of clockwork before you flash to a new ROM or you will brick your phone." I do not know if I have it on my phone or not, much less what version.
OCLF v2.2 Donate
So I am going to undo the lagfix, but not undo the root that came with the OCLF app that came with the app because I need it to stay rooted. Is this a problem? I switched the scheduler back to "cfq" because that was what it used to be, but I used "deadline" before I started planning the ROM flash. Fun fact: I have no clue what any of that means, but boy did it make things speedy
Which ROM?
I know this has been asked before and I know it comes down to preference, but given the information about the current state of my phone, is there a particular ROM that you would suggest? If that doesn't make sense, what I mean to say is, does anyone know if, for example, people who have at any point used a lag fix are predisposed to bricking their phone during a flash, or if people who run Clockwork Recovery can't use ROM x?
The biggest things that concern me are 1. stability 2. that the ROM is still supported 3. froyo 4. easy sync/integration with everything google (mail, maps, calendar, etc). I like a clean, elegant look and feel, but I imagine I can skin whatever ROM to my liking. I am leaning towards Cognition, simply because I seem to read that one the most often.
Thank you for any help, it is greatly appreciated
Any other advice out there or links to good guides would be great too
oh hey sorry one more thing, as long as I'm asking noob questions: I know that live wallpapers drain battery but I love the earth one with a black background, looks so damn good. Anyway does it drain the battery CONSTANTLY as long as it's the wallpaper or only when you're on the home screens and can actually see it?
thanks again guys!

ClockworkMod comes to you via Rom Manager. The reason you don't see the list of downloadable roms is.... they ain't none for that list. There are a few Roms, but they are not subscribed (or whatever) to that service. You gotta get 'em here from their respective threads in xda.

Make sure you can do the 3 button thing to get into recovery or download modes. As far as I know that's the only way you can really 'brick" your phone. Some cappy's can't do any 3 button combos from power off. This is bad as you can't get out of the loop into recovery. DesignGears has a post about this, with a fix if you have this issue. Find it, Read it, Know it. And stuff.
Get the androidSDK and learn about abd. Sometimes this can get you out of trouble when nothing else can. There are tons of references to it in xda and google will get you a ton of reading material. Beyond a single post in scope to explain that one. Here's a start: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html
Familiarize yourself with Odin and Odin One-Click. Not sure where to point you there as I found my info slogging through the cognition beast...err... thread. Pretty sure you can find a couple threads by DesignGears in development that will get you the programs and get you started.

OK, well first off, thanks Sulphur. Bummer I can't use ROM Manager to download new ROMs, that would make things even easier.

Damn it's a good thing you said that. I just tried it to make sure that I could go into recovery mode... I always assumed that I could...
I seem to be one of those people that can't go into recovery mode using the three button press method. What's worse is that I have a mac so I (think) I can't use odin either.
Does this mean I can't fix my phone is it soft bricks while flashing? I can't take that risk...
*sniff*
people say cognition is so cool too...
Go on the development section. There is a fix for the there button issue and cog roms keep it intact

Dang. That sucks. Did you look for DesignGears thread on the 3 button issue? There's another one another guy posted but I don't remember who.
No Odin is bad yeah, if you soft brick. You can look at Heimdale (link to it on the Cognition DL page here). But it sounds fairly complicated. Might be fun just to figure it out and seein' as you're on mac it may be your only option. No idea where to send you to learn how to use it tho, just know that it can be used on a Mac.
Good luck to ya!

[RECOVERY] psfServiceMod for Incredible [Updated 12/20 3:14pm]

Today Klutsh released psfServiceMod, which allows you to use an android device to downgrade a ps3. It currently supports most popular android phones.... now including the Droid Inc!
The latest release, 3.2, has everything fixed! I've had it for about a day now and all is good, backups and restores are no longer broken and psfreedom works, grab it here: http://www.klutsh.com/download/86/[...card: [url]http://www.klutsh.com/download/25/
Things to keep in mind:
There is a possibility that you will lose the ability to play Blu ray movies if you downgrade, i personally didn't, and i did it twice. I have a launch model 60GB for homebrew.
If your on 3.41 and want an alternate method of jailbreaking, you might consider Adrynaline's psfreedom kernel.
If you want to use the kernel make sure you have the right one, there is a sense and cm6 version. When your phone turns on, you need to open terminal emulator and enter:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/psfreedom.ko
This method supports peek and poke and can be run with the phone on, however, it will disable usb mass storage, and wifi. To fix this, just flash back to another kernel like incrediblek's or ziggys. This code will need to be entered again if your phone reboots.
me too, would love to see this!
Yes a inc port will be awesome.

not happening.
I tried with klutsh (who is a great guy btw) for over 40 recoveries and many custom kernels, he just cannot get it to work on the incredible. Done deal.
Get yourself a dedicated device. I got a used 1st gen ipod nano from craigslist for 10 dollars and it works flawlessly, all payloads and downgrades.

He tried 1 test build of the old psfmod. He rewrote the entire thing for this version. I really dont see the problem considering it has almost the exact hardware as the evo and both run clockwork. Am i missing something?
but, a 3.50 Jailbreak would be nice lol.
Im trying to get a service mod going, but i cant compile psfreedom.ko and if i do i get exec_format_error trying to run it. Im running a modded psfreedom kernel btw. Anyone think they can properly compile it? Or is it unlikely to work?
Is this different than Adrynalyne's psfreedom kernel? I'm just curious really, I never plan on owning a ps3.

You must not be able to read. I personally tested over 40 tries of psfmod to work from klutch himself. Its not happening.

It makes perfect sense when you realize people smarter then you have been trying and not been able to get it going. This is truly a waste of everyones time to beg for something not happening. Get a device that works and move on, seriously.

Ok, first off, stop with your unnecessary attitude. Its because of negative people like you that things do not happen. Im not begging for anything. Quite the opposite. Im trying to get psfreedom running. If your not going to add anything positive to the thread, then dont bother.

You're going to do it yourself? When klutsh, the guy who created, updates and maintains PSFmod for multiple android devices cannot get it working on the incredible and has given up entirely on it?
Wow, can't wait to see it!

Uh, no. Im trying to use Adrynalines psfreedom kernel. I give him credit on that, im not gonna touch my recovery mode.

Adrynaline lost his source for the original PSFreedom kernel. What he has up there is incomplete and cannot be duplicated as the original kernel. Do you see a pattern here? Im not trying to be mean, but seriously, there are better ways to spend your time.
I'll be looking into this tomorrow

Oh..... that explains alot. And I guess that would explain my constant failures.. well thank you. Hopefully Invisiblek can find something.

Klutsh is a fricken machine, thats all i can say
got a working recovery image for the inc, ill leave releasing it to Klutsh though.
i would expect it to be here: http://www.klutsh.com/downloads/ when he releases it
but that can't be....it CAN'T be done! quepaso said it himself that it can't be done, and obviously he knows everything about the future!
Just like the ps3 can't be hacked either! oh wait.....

[Q] insert brick type here...i need your help guys

Okay, obviously I was rooted. Everything was great. I went into CWM, when I was going to flash a simple script mod (which every phone can use) well I accidently clicked off into my SGII files (which of course was stupid of me) and it installed fluxii kernel for SGH-i777. (intern flashes a custom recovery for the xx tweaker that that particular kernel uses. Of course, I didn't even realize I had done it, just went to Reboot Now. Now, I've got no Download mode, no bootloader, no anything, just blackness, I feel as if there is a simple key process or way to somehow get it fixed so I can flash it back via ODIN, but with all the confusing button combo's and ideas I've found so far, and all the ' types of bricks ' I dont know the best route about doing this, whomever helps me get my phone unbricked/unsoftbricked/superbricked/cute bricked, which ever version (assuming its possible) I swear on my life I will mail them a 32GB HP touchpad.
(I have 3 and only need 2) so, I hope this in some way will get me an answer soon.
I cantbelieve I pulled a n00b. No more not moving data from SD cards for me ever again...
Thanks, and the sooner the better.
Mail me here, or gmail me ( [email protected]) or heck text me if you want (i have my SGII still) just message me priavtely for the number. Thanks you guys you're the best.

I would rccomend trying to use Odin to see if it recognizes your phone? You may have to get a USB jig to force it into download mode and you may be able to save it that way I'm pretty sure a jig would work

Yeah thats Kinda my thinking as well unfortunately, Why the hell cant they sell them at like, I derno, the "rooted developer" store? hell Samsung should just include them in the box with as easy as root is. lmao What I don't get, is why the hell someone can't make a ' USB JIG ' out of their computer, or you know, something to tickle that little ports happy spot lmfao

Yeah, I'm mean there pretty cheap online and if you have the buts you can make your own since its only a 300k resistor. I think that's your only way out tbh :/

I just wanted this issue brought to attention to all the people from other forum sites ive tried to try their methods clearly, Marshmellows and Chicken dumplins wouldnt work, so if we could figure it out here, itd be nice to have it in a smart people zone. seriously someone f'n said, for me to stick my finger where the socket meets the charger... i was like, "consider me "BRICKED"
why cant they sell these damn jigs on craigslist for immediate satisfaction? oh well some idiot just offered to trade me one of my 3 SGII's I own for a note and 50 bucks haha "I WANT IT UNROOTED AND NORMAL" was his email. hahaha

Lol, how much would you be willing to sell your touch pad for by the way? And eBay is probably a good bet for a jig. Its just a pain nearly all of them are sent from china so you have to wait like 2 weeks :/

IN TRUE NERD FASHION: any devices you'd be willing to part with for one or two of them, I have 10 16gb the day I remember telling mom "MOM LET ME BORROW 2000 dollars I swear it will pay off take it out of my savings anything" haha...
but cash isnt whats important to me, just technology really..idk, hell they're going for ridiculous onebay right now. and err, lets just say mine dont run CM9, or MIUI, hell I have my own recovery, Webos is all i knew for a while. I was always scared to post here, for the number of n00b post haters. I just stopped caring about those haha. I also have 2 Palm pre 2's running Android via a glitch in the Launcher/Wallpaper, and a Pre 3 Running ICS hybrided with basically the apps running in the 'recent windows ' version of ICS....
I really dunno man right now is I NEED TO GET THIS NOTE FIXED ASAP anyone know like a local place to go get it fixed temporarily they've gone to before. hell XDA should buy like shipments of them. we're the only ones that buy the damn things anyway.
also one more idea i found is this: idk if it just doesnt make sense to me, but if someone can make sense of it for me, and tell me its worth a shot...by all means..explain. http://samsunggalaxyreview2.blogspot.com/2011/07/one-click-unbrick-tool-for-samsung.html

It might be worth a go man. I would reccomend having it plugged into a computer and keep trying to turn it on even if the screen doesn't turn on and see if Odin picks anything up. Its not going to hurt your device anymore :/ you could always go to a hardware store and buy a mini USB and a 300k resistor and trying to make a jig yourself if that unbrick doesn't work (which I don't think it will)

Well what do I have to lose? Potentially (with better instructions of course and a noob friendly UI) if it works on my note, ill try it on my original galaxy...who knows few tweaks and maybe all these folks suffering from bricked Notes/SII/SIII's will have an easy way to fix it. (hey guys, just let me be optimistic here.. at least unti somebody else comes up with a bright idea haha

What have you done so far?

Fixed. I'll write up a XDA guide, and no I didnt use that silly guide. I used a trick the stupid guy at samsung tech support told me about something on the back of the phone will write up in a bit.
it involves a paperclip, and a hidden compartment behind somewhere where most would never dare stick anything, its rather a hidden reset button or something I wouldnt recommend it to anyone however...if someone finds themself in a bind id gladly help, but its that way or shipping it back if done wrong basically I just got lucky.
so CLOSE THREAD PLEASE THANKS
