i'm trying to do this to my g1 but it's a little vauge for someone who has never attempted this. i.e: me
step#5 at the bottom listed to wipe and flash the phone, so i looked up how to flash the g1 on this forum and it seemed to require going back to rc29, which i did.
only problem is, step#2 listed to extract step#1 in to the "ext2" partition, which no longer exists after i put my phone back to rc29.
i just installed jesusfreke's rc33 thinking maybe "ext2" was only on rc33 or something, and "ext2" still is not there. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
oh and i'm new, sorry if this has been posted...went through a ton of pages on this forum and didn't see any posts about it, might have overlooked it while scrolling through wall after wall after wall of posts

Dude, you need a Class 6 sdcard that has two primary partitions on it - first a FAT32 and second a EXT2 (although EXT3 is now preferred). Search for APPS2SD or A2SD and you should find many threads on how to do that.

sinoeth thanks for that link..i used sdsplit to create the partition on my sdcard and it says it was successful. when i check the status of the card, sdsplit says it has a fat32 and an ext2 partition.
only problem is, when i mount my phone to my computer and open my sdcard drive, it shows NOTHING. no folders, files, or anything. any ideas? or am i just too retarded to handle this tough task
Its not going to show on your pc unless your running a linux operating system.
I'm a stranger to this side, but I don't think this is a DEV question... Has anybody had any luck getting flash to work on the Hero browser? I've been trying to see video stills (youtube play button on screen) with no luck. I've checked and unchecked the Mobile View button to no avail. Hope someone has been able to get it working.
Im sorry if i posted this in the wrong section; I have no clue where im suppose to post this ;\. Anyway, i followed this tutorial trying to jailbreak my g1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOo2V9qCauc. I downloaded the RC29(From the youtube tut) and put it into my sdcard and turned it off and on by holding the power and camera button. So i got to the part where it asked me to update my image but when i finished i got a update terminated msg instead of complete\successful. Then it kicked me to the colorful\rainbow screen with red green blue and white. I have no clue what i did wrong and no idea what im suppose to do now, can't turn off the phone or anything. Can somebody please help ;x! Thanks
I desperately wanted to post and say to say it failed bc you think your phone is an iphone (jailbreak). However, after reading your post i would say abandon a video and follow the root guide that is a sticky on here... look at the information thread above your post and look in there for the root guide.
When it says to get a recovery.img get cyans in the development thread. When it says get a rom, get cyans 4.0.2 stable cupcake... when you are all done i rec the community hero theme.
I typed all of that and this thread was right below yours

Dang i took out the battery and turn the phone back on but i went back to the update image part >_>; . No matter which choice i choose i end up at the colorful screen....(Choices are either update or not)
is your rc-29 named DREAIMG.nbh exactly named that caps and all. also is your sdcard formatted to fat32.
Snail....
I went to bed last night thinking you were fine. Could you post exactly what steps you have done? If you press red (power) + menu + green (call) your phone will reboot (no need to pull the battery).
Did you remove (delete using your computer) the .nbh file when you put the image and update.zip file on your SD? Did you get the files from the site you visited for the video?
I strongly suggest following my first post.
Just like everyone else said, follow our guides instead of some video on youtube. Make sure your card is formatted to fat32 and try to update again. If that still doesn't work it might have been a bad download. So download DREAIMG.nbh (RC29) again. You can check the MD5sum to make sure its a good download and update again. And by the way jailbreaking ain't the same as rooting.

These are the steps i've done
1.Copy and Paste all the files within my sd card to my pc.
2.Changed my sdcard into fat32
3.Dragged the dream.nbh or w\e that i got from the video tut into my sd card.
4.Turned off my phone by holding the power button.
5.On by holding power and camera.
6.Then i got to the update image part and pressed power to update, buy failed to update and now end up stuck at the color screen.
I've tried to reboot and everything but everytime i turn it back on it always goes back to the color screen T___T

Have you redownloaded the DREAIMG.nbh file. It was prolly just a bad download. Happens all the time, thats why you wanna check the MD5sum.

as mentioned before sub in Cyans recovery image version 1.4 *you will thank me* and Cyans 4.0.2 rom *you will thank me*

Yea I do its supremeteam256 on aim. I'm at work now so I can't do it on my computer and my phone signal might be hit or miss, but I'll still log on just deal with me if it shows me cuttin in and out. But what your going to have to do is either put the new DREAIMG.nbh on your sd card either by a card reader or another electronic device that you can transfer files over to the sd card. And the last option will be to mount your card using ADB and just push the file to your sd card. But as of right now it sounds like you can't access your phone because of the bad file. So once you get that file on your card then you would be able to boot holding camera + power and apply RC29. You'll be straight after that.
Yay got through with the image update part and now im stuck at the setup wizard part. Somehow my phone has problem with communicating with google servers when i type in my google account. And yes i don't have internet. I canceled it because i got this when it first came out and for the first 1-2months nothing worked on it such. None of the messengers work D:< so i had no use of internet so i end up cutting it xD.

You don't open it... it's utility
open command prompt (window key +R, type cmd) from there you can run adb commands (adb shell, adb pull, adb push or whatever else you need)

Hello everybody,
I try to root my 1.6 G1 for many days now. Followed many more tutorials. TheUnlockr, YouTube, XDA-Dev and other Android-Forums.
The problem is an error message when I try to flash the 1.5 Update. Everytime it says "00028002 Not allow". Tried the flashing process with so many DREAIMG.nbh's from different websites. Tried the US and the UK Version but nothing, really nothing worked.
And now, after Google and all these tutorials didn't work, I ask you for help. I hope that i won't get stupid posts =)
Thanks in advance!
did you format to FAT32?
I really don't know. I normally use Mac OS X 10.6.2 and don't know how to format there. Under Windows 7 which I use with BootCamp I right-clicked the SD-Card and selected "format..." but then there is an error message too like "not found". I don't have an adapter for the microSD. Do you have any Tips for me?
i'm not sure about other ways to format (anyone, lend a hand please?) but i think you need it to be FAT32.
EDIT: disk utility. i think you can get it there. just backup beforehand.
I Googled for formatting under Macintosh. FAT works, but there's no option for FAT32... Really need help.
Could anyone post me the "best" files/tutorial for downgrading a german G1, please?

Well read the edit in my post. Some say Disk Utility works for FAT32, some say it doesn't. Hmm, i don't have macintosh so i can't really try it ATM.
Disk Utility was what I tried. But I just have these options:
4 times "Mac OS X Extended" and "MS-DOS Dateisystem (FAT)". Don't think that this is right.
But do you have a link to a tutorial for rooting a german G1 at 1.6? Because the files I downloaded always had different sizes and I don't know which the right one is/was?

Fat32 might be a windows only format just like EXT is a linux only format, so you will need to find a program that can do it like paragon or have a friend format it on their computer.
I do have Windows but it always says that the SD card can't be found. Don't know why.
I connect the G1 to my MacBook and run Windows 7. I mount USB and choose the SD card in Windows. Then I right-click on it and say "format...". After that it seems that the G1 automatically dismounts the SD card so that Windows can't find it...
Edit: How does the G1 itself format the SD card?
Edit 2: After formatting G1 in Mac (MS-DOS (FAT)) it said that something's wrong with the SD card and Android wanted me to format it again. I did it but Windows doesn't find the SD card anymore -.-'
Edit 3: G1 also doesn't find the SD card anymore xD
Formatted the SD card to FAT32 but the problem doesn't disappear...
Will try it now with RC7 instead of RC29. Don't think that it'll work because I already tried this before but who cares...
Edit: RC7 also doensn't work. I tried to install the "signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca" update too. But after a while it says "Installation aborted"... I really need help!!

Alright put your sd card back into your g1. Unmount it in settings, then format it from there. When it's done, plug your g1 back into your computer or use and sd card reader (Personally, I prefer the card reader.) I use a mac based laptop as well, but i put windows on it as a partition. (I needa play my games ) See if your computer detects it now. And what do you mean that the problem doesn't disappear? Wasn't your problem the fact that the card didn't format?
No, the original problem is/was, that I can't get back to 1.5. No matter what file I choose, this damn "00028... Not Allow" problem appears everytime.

Na bra... go ahead an try one more thing..
Macs by default automatically unzip files when downloaded from the internet.
So if this is the case, the file your downloading isn't in the correct format (atleast for the phone). You can even try re-zipping the file but its not gonna work. This happened to me, the only way to fix it is to change the Mac preferences to not automatically unzip/open/handle files downloaded. Its been so long I cant remember the right steps in order to do this. But Im pretty sure thats why you're getting hung up. If you have a Windows availible to you, try downloading it again on the PC and moving it to your SD and see if it works Oo. Or just change your Mac settings and redownload. This MIGHT be your problem.
On second though, this might not be your problem. But maybe worth a try.

Looking at your info, I'm assuming you're using a German G1
If that's the case I'm pretty sure you have to use the goldcard method to downgrade your G1 then root.
I'm not 100% sure on this, but based on what you've already tried and the flag below your location and post count, it might be a good idea to read up on it and try another method.
Check this thread out for a little more detail
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485364
@nopotential: So, could you tell me how to change this in the settings? 'Cause I right-clicked on a .zip, chose "open with..." and said "The unarchiver". Then i said "always open with" but it doesn't work...
@jackslim: I do have Windows 7 and the MacBook Pro does have a SD card reader but I do not have an adapter... Is there any chance to do this without a WM Device (If this is also Windows 7 ^^)?!
@all: Does anybody have a good downgrading tutorial für GERMAN/EUROPEAN G1s that worked for him/her too? That would be really nice.
By the way: What time is it in the US now? Is it in the morning?!
I'm just piecing together bits of other information I've found on various posts, so this may or may not work. Since you'll be using a macbook you should be able to dd to the sdcard
The first thing you need to do is get the CID of your SD Card
You can do this with adb, if you need help setting up adb see here
After ADB is setup
*Make sure on your phone you go to settings -> applications -> development and make sure USB Debugging is checked
check that it is working by opening a terminal and using
Code:
adb devices (enter)
If you see a serial number it's working, if not refer back to the adb setup guide and check for what you may have missed. If you seen a serial number do the next step
Code:
adb shell (enter)
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid (enter)
Now you should have the CID of your SD Card (write it down exactly). If you know an easier way to get this info directly from your macbook, feel free to try it that way.
Once you have your CID, go to this website scroll to the bottom, enter your email and cid as directed to, then wait for the email with your goldcard img
Once you recieve your goldcard.img, on your mac open a terminal, go to the directory you saved the goldcard.img to and
Code:
dd if=goldcard.img of=/path/to/your/sdcard bs=384 (enter)
*Note: Change /path/to/your/sdcard to what it actually is
Now add DREAIMG.nbh to the SD Card, and reboot your phone into the bootloader Camera + Power **Cross Fingers While You Wait*** And hopefully it will work
I don't have a Mac, never even used a Mac. I'm just piecing bits of information from different posts in an attempt to assist you downgrade. Although none of these steps should cause any damage to your Macbook/PC/Phone/House/Leg/Car or grandchildren. Try these steps at your own risk
And inresponse to the current time in the US, it's approximately 11:10 am on the eastern coast
Whoa, thanks for this. I don't know how to show you how thankful I am in english ^^
At the moment I'm not able to try this 'cause I'm busy but I'll post the result of it =)
Thanks again.
Also see this post
It specifically says for a Dutch phone, but I think most continental G1's that are having the downgrade problem require the same method to fix it
outa boredem i decied to try apps 2 sd and i did the partion stuff (with ext2 to 3) and then went to dconfig(damge control) and did the apps2sd save and all now i wont to use my apps but i dont know how and dont have android sd installed because i keep getting errors and dont know how to get my apps back or cant download from market and nadroid wont let me nadroid soooooo what do i do??
Yeah the DCconfig is kinda buggy right now. What I would suggest is set the DCconfig back to the no A2SD and then get anything off of your SD that you need then wipe the SD and then reformat it to FAT. Hope that helps

cuz market moves to sdcard when using a2sd, I dont know why..
Something definitely went wrong when moving the files to your sd card.
Type this on the computer
adb shell
cd /system/sd/app
ls
If you see a list of apps, then your apps are on your sdcard.
If your Apps are there, then in Recovery you can move apps to fat32 sdcard.
You can then format your sdcard, just repartition it using Recovery, just repeat the process, it erases everything of the card. So do Usb toggle in Recovery, move all your stuff and apps you just backed up to your computer and then after you format it, move all of it back and then do the Restore apps back to ext partition or whatever it says.
If your apps are not there or you dont have the directory /system/sd/app then create the folder yourself. Reboot your phone and see if anything works
adb shell
mkdir /system/sd/app

When typing in cmd when it first opens type
cd/
then type

If you renamed your folder to android.

Too busy to post it. It works. I have the files. Pm me and ill help later.
I would actually like to know how to do that as well.
OK here it is. I don't know if this works on sense, but it does work on AOSP based ROMs. Take the mp3 below and put it in /system/media, it's the THX movie bootup sound (I think). You can change it to whatever you want later. Take the sh file and put it on the root of your sd. Once both of those things are done, do this EXACTLY:
-open terminal emulator
-type "su" press enter
-type "cd /sdcard" press enter
-type "sh bootsnd.sh" press enter ONLY ONE TIME !!!
-type "reboot"
EDIT: no quotes obviously...
If you follow this, it will work. If you get smart and change it, or press enter twice where it says once, it will hose your /system. Oh, you should probably NANDROID FIRST.
Peace.

OMG! Yes! I love messing with terminal emulator. It makes me feel smarter than I actually am, lol. Thanks for the quick response.
Quick question - You said we should be able to change it afterwards so does that mean after we follow the steps you so graciously provided we should then be able to find an .mp3 somewhere in /system that can simply be replaced with another .mp3? for example maybe in /system/media/audio......?
You can use any mp3 you want.

I was gonna try this tonight, because I really want to grab the boot sound from the old Red Dawn Rom......but both of the dropbox links are the bootsnd.sh. If it's not to much trouble could you repost the THX mp3?
Thank you!
Oops. Fixed the mp3 link. I have the sense boot sound if you want. Not sure if it's the same as red dawn but let me know if you want that.

Thanks for fixing that, and honestly with the 3D about to hit the shelves I'm downloading everything I can, before all these links start coming up 404...... So i'll take whatever's offered.
You know I think that link might be the sense 2.1 sound. I dont know where the thx one went. You could google sounds, change the name to android_audio.mp3 and your good.

Right you are, that was not the THX sound....Thanks for the guidance though, I now have it working. Off to try and make it work on my Nook. For anyone else trying to do this, the THX sound file you need is here........http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30200380/android_audio.mp3

i followed these steps exactly and it worked perfectly scared the crap out of my wife with it she didnt know i added sound to the bootup she came running bringing it to me saying its making noises i think something is wrong.
question about changing the sound file does it matter the size or whether its an mp3 or a wma file. just overwrite the one i placed during setup? do i have to rerun the TE commands if i change the sound file? thanks for any answers to this
edit:crap shouldve just edidted my post above with this question sorry
Lol at your wife. You have to use mp3 only, memory size doesn't matter, but I think length does I think you want one that isn't too long, though I never tried a long one. < TWSS lmao. You dont need to redo the commands, unless you flash a new rom. Then you have to redo the whole thing.

Any mp3 file will work as long as its renamed to android_audio.mp3 and placed in /system/media. I recommended an mp3 file no longer than 20-30 seconds at the most. I'm not sure if wma files will work as that's a windows file.
You do not need to run the commands in TE again unless you nandroid back or possibly wipe everything.
Note: This is just from my own personal experience. I'm not a developer or anything and I take no responsiblilty if you screw up your phone. I hope this helps and don't forget to nandroid first
EDIT: lol sorry Duce, you posted sometime in the middle of me typing on my phone
