ok guys
can a ROM that has been successfully downloaded and installed on the g1 and run for several weeks degrade?
i mean the actual .zip file
i was using drizzy blur_hero for the longest but when i tried out the motoblur i had problems
i went as far as to reformat and repartition my sdcard but it seems that every time i reinstalled after that i had lag and massive FC all the time...
never happened till i went playing with another ROM
any info would be appreciated cuz im curious

I've been tinkering with this phone for probably around a year now. I have a good understanding of flashing and whatnot, but that is probably the extent of it. I've had tons and tons of roms on this phone, and never once been given trouble.
Recently, I flashed to King's Eris2G1 rom, and that seemed to start my problems. I had lots of problems getting this ROM to work properly. Eventually, I got a working load, but I noticed that Apps2SD stopped working. Everything else seemed to work OK so I ignored it and used the rom.
Now, this morning, I went to flash his Legend2G1 rom, and got an error during verification that files were corrupt. Redownloaded and tried to reflash, same thing. So I said screw it, tried going back to an older 1.5 senses rom (I forget which, MLING or something like that), and I got errors on verification for that too. I never had any trouble previously installing that rom. So, I tried Eris2G1 again, and got the same errors there. Last time, it always flashed fine, just worked a little buggy.
So I tried Kings AOSP2.1. That worked. It flashed fine, booted fine, but I did notice, Apps2SD isn't working here either. So, my thoughts are all the Senses roms failed because they are larger and install files to the SD card, where as this smaller rom does not?
I went to test my theory by popping in a different SD card, but I got the exact same errors. So, it's not the card, it's the phone, but it appears to be related to the card. I am able to access the FAT32 partition without problems. I tried repartitioning the card many times (96-128MB swap, 128-512MB ext2) and I tried with ext2, 3, and 4. No luck no matter what.
So, does anyone have any ideas as to 1.) what happened and 2.) how can I fix it? I am not 100% sure what all I have on my phone as far as SPL, recovery, ect go. On recovery, it says "Build: RA-dream-v1.5.2". No idea what SPL I am using... I flashed it a little bit ago to whatever a particular rom I was interested in required. All I know is I never had a single problem like this, and now even the roms that used to work like a champ are not functioning. I've got my phone to a usable state with this current ROM, but i'd really like to play around with the Senses roms more (nevermind the fact that I want A2SD back). Can anyone help?
EDIT: For ****s I just tried flashing 1.6.2 recovery, as well as reflashing radio and SPL. Didn't make a difference.
I'm posting here because I don't know what else to do, my phone freezes using any froyo rom. It happens randomly and sometimes will not happen until I reboot the phone, but it makes my phone pretty much unusable. I've tried the leaked froyo rom, BB, CM 6 1&2 and countless others. I've tried wiping data / cache and formating the SD card (worked until i put my music back on), and I'm about to just try stock 2.2 and exchange it for a new one if it wont work.
Anyone else have this problem that could help me?
One thing I didn't see you do...
Have you at all root your phone to install the desired froyo rom for your phone?
Yes I am rooted, I'm currently on CM 5.0.8 and very happy but I would really like to get froyo working.
Alright. This is what I've done to get Froyo working on my Droid: I rooted my phone, downloaded BB v4 and changed the name of the file to update, installed Rom Manager on my phone(then found out I can download the roms from here as well), reboot into recovery through rom manager, wiped data & cache, selected install zip, then selected reboot phone. It took a bit to register but it converted over with BB v4.
I think I've found my problem

this sounds like my exact problem, I'm going to look through my library and see if there is a corrupt file then try again
Hopefully that is the source of the issue and that'll be solved quickly. Good luck to ya
I curently have a bell i9000M I was running Doc's JPY for a few months but decided to his JS8 version the other day. As soon as I flashed it I noticed my phone was unable to install apps and in manage applications it gets stuck on computing.
So things I have tryed to get this working again........
Flashed EZbase using re-partition , still same issue on base.
Flashed Stock JH2 , still same issue.
Flashed Stock JL2 still same issue.
Flashed JH2 then JL2 through Kies same issue.
It seems I can not write to my internel SD although the rest of my phone seems to be working fine any Ideas?
Another thing I noticed is mass storage is not working on any rom only can connect using Kies method if I want to transfer files. Format internal SD is not working , it asks if you want to format you click yes it seems like something happens but then check the internal sd and all the files are still there.
I am not familiar with the I9000M but i know its very common to have SD card failures.
And it seems to me thats whats happened, im sorry for you
best thing you can do is, flash back to stock and send off for repair, hopefully you may get some luck with the next device.
One thing before you get all emotional have a look at this, its a long shot but......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905975

Yea I was not getting any mounting errors in CWM or 2e/3e recovery...Anyway after a frustrating 3 days I now and I think it's finally working , so far.
I manually deleted all files off the internal SD, then did a format from within 3e recovery while on JL2 (this was acting like it was formatting before but all the files I downloaded were still there after the format). Then flashed Hardcore's K13 and installed a custom rom all seems fine so far but it did work periodically over these past few days so I'm hoping it stays working now.
What was weird is I could download files using the web browser but the market would not work all the time but when it did it was downloading the items but would just get stuck installing them.
Anyway thanks for the quick response. Hopefully I have this sorted out now.
Hi everyone,
I have an i9000 and ive tried out many different roms, never even soft bricked it, i have experience with odin etc so i pretty much know what im doing and am not a n00b. i was on darky v10 rc6 and when i upgraded to the stable 10.1 everything seemed fine, but i the impossible game starting lagging really badly, when it never had before, however the rest of the phone functioned perfectly. i tried enabling and disabling the lagfixes. i went over to gingerreal, back to a froyo ROM from docs kitchen, and finally just flashed back to unrooted gingerbread from samfirmware. each time, i wiped the data and the cache, and installed nothing but a fresh copy of the impossible game from the market, and made sure no other tasks were running, but every time, the only issue i could find was that the impossible game lagged. when i got back to stock, i thought i had solved it as it played fine for a few minutes, but the next time i loaded it up it started lagging again. note: i am not this anal about the impossible game, im just worried its symptomatic of a bigger problem with the phone. do you have any suggestions of how i can fix this issue? thanks so much for you help.

I know it's a pain but maybe try connecting your phone to your PC and formatting the phones SD before flashing, could be clogged up with old files? Just a suggestion I could be wrong
I always format the SD through windows before a new ROM as doing it through CWM doesn't seem to remove a lot of the android folders + files - Could be slowing it down, as I said though, I'm no expert
try hard reset may be?
Update: I formatted the internal SD, external SD, took out the sim and external SD, wiped all data, reflashed stock then flashed 10.1 darky resurrection (odin package) this was all while fully charged. without putting back in the sim or external SD i did nothing but redownload the impossible game, and just like before, it started off fine but after 1-2 plays the lag came back. any ideas at all? this is so weird.

Hello ladies and gents, I'm in the process of completely revamping my Hero. I am not new to CM, was on 6 and then 7.0.3. Was getting sick of low storage space so decided to try FireRats custom partitions (set it to 100 4); seemed to run without a hitch as CM booted no problems. However, even though I DEFINITELY installed gapps, Market doesn't show! Have tried reflashing gapps from CWM 2.5.7 three times now, and each time, to no avail. I am very confused, and don't know where to go from here. I ran unrevoked last night and am now S-OFF, don't know if that might have something to do with it, but I can't imagine it does. Also of interest is that Rom Manager tells me I don't have SU privileges! Anyone have any ideas? Thanks a ton in advance!

P.S. Just realized I should clarify I ran unrevoked last night so I could run Sprint RUU to install PRL 00001. That is working beautifully. FireRats and CM7.1 I did about two hours ago. Thanks again!
