Dear XDA devs and readers,
After rooting my G1 with the RC8 rom and the hardSPL + latest Radio 2.26I
my phone wont go past the G1 startup screen after flashing higher version of cyanogen 4.04. happily ive done a nandroid backup with the standard ROOTED ROM.
i redone the procedure with set factory default dreamNBH.img and the wipe functions.

Edit: things i tried:
reset to default wit the DREAMNBH
Wipe/factory

Unable to flash Anything else

i have done quite a few searches on this and yet have found nothing so i hope i dont get reamed for posting this.
if someone has a link for this answer id be very thankful.
if not then PLEASE SOMEONE EXPLAIN!!!!!!!
at the moment i am running drizzy hero rom. to do the update i did use the one touch root. on a second phone i did it manually. on both i added the hard spl and am running the RA v 1.2.1 recovery. I liked this ROM and wanted to see what bugs it had. after a few days i wanted to switch and try a different ROM I have dl most of the ROMs available and already have them on my sdcard once i did this no ROM would load except for Drizzy(new Vision v2.8). after trying a few things and accomplishing nothing i decided to redo EVERYTHING. unrooted my phone rooted again applied recovery made sure radio was to date and spl. and still nothing i cant even run the original jf1.5 that i was using before deciding to port. this issue is occuring on both phones. 1st phone was again done with one step root and the 2nd phone was done completly manually. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to try these other roms SO PLEASE SOMEONE HELP. if you need more information on what i did with these phones ill gladly tell you step by step on what i did.
sorry for that.
I was using my G1 and also had a friends. On my g1 i used the one step root. I used the Instructions from The Unlocker.com. It uses flashrec.apk and also Amon Ra's recovery image. After that i went over to the How to Load a Custom ROM. same site. It asks you to check the Radio and the Spl. The radio is 2.22.19.26I and the spl used was the HARDSPL 1.33.2005.
Once i finished that i went and formated the sdcard to Fat32+Ext2+LinuxSwap also converted Ext2 to Ext3.Then I did-Move Dalvik Cache to SD. last 3 steps to speed up hero. after all of that I loaded 4 ROMS CyanogenMod ROM, jACXHeroSkiv Hero ROM v1.8, Drizzy’s NewVision TouchFlo ROM, and JF v1.5 Cupcake ROM. I have only flashed Drizzy's until last night.
I was unable to flash any other one and when i flashed back to drizzy I had problems loading it back but eventually loaded fully the issue was running the startup wizard it kept crashing. after a reboot it was ok.
Give us step by step on what you did and USE PARAGRAPHS
that whole thing looked like mumbo jumbo to me
put new lines where they belong to help separate out the steps you took
FIXED! thanks!

did you do a data wipe? you need to wipe going from hero to cupcake/donut
When I first did all of that I did. Am I supposed to data wipe everytime I switch the Rom?

when your using hero rom's, yes.
if your upgrading cupcake roms (ie cyan 4.0.4 to 4.1.9.2 ), no
If its not working, WIPE
you cant go from hero to cupcake without wiping and not expect a lot of problems. they cause too many issues.
hero roms use the data partition differently
also remember to wipe /system/sd/ to clear all of that out. pull your /system/sd/ to your computer first though
thanks you guys it helped alot

Only CM works on G1 and MT3G

Alright well first off I've looked all over XDA for an answer if theres is one out there a Mod can remove this post. I'm not new to this at all I have been flashing roms since the Dream was released, just the other day i was thinking about trying out a new from King's new Legend coming from CM 4.2.15.1 as usual i wiped everything reformatted my SD partitions and installed the Legend rom, now for some reason i cannot get past the G1 screen on that or any other rom there is out EXCEPT CM 4.2.15 I attempted the same thing on my 32B MT and get the same problem it will not go past the MT green screen has anyone had this issue or would anyone be able to tell me whats going on I've tried everything i could think of and nothing works. Thanks for any help people!
theres a lot of other roms that require a different SPL than CM does. make sure you have the correct one installed. also, make sure to wipe before flashing.
I have kept that in mind and yes I have wiped before every flash I once again just now tried the CanNNoN202 rom correct SPL and all also running the latest radio still no go on either the MT3G or G1
wut does it say in bootloader screen ?

frf50 to frf91

I searched the forum and found the link below about "uptade from frf50 to frf91" and it does not work for me;
*"new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages" thread id of the link is: 712983
how can I update to frf91 and can use cm6?
You may be confused, FRF91 and CM6 are mutually exclusive. You don't need FRF91 to use CM6.
I tried to flash cm6 rc1 with frf50, it flashed succesfully. after rebooting it is still flashing the X intorduction screen and has not open yet.
I rebooted it about 5 minutes ago.
it is still flashing
If it's rebooted, it's past the flashing stage and probably in a boot loop. Did you wipe the phone before flashing? If not, that's your problem.
do I need to also wipe factory/data reset?
as an extra question; how can i update from frf50 to frf91?
I tried flashing again doing all the wiping things except factory/data reset, the same problem...
As a general rule you should do a full Data/Factory reset if you are changing between different series of ROMs.
That is, it sounds like you are on Stock and want to go to Cyanogen's ROM ... I'd recommend a full wipe.
Once you are on a Cyanogen ROM and a new version of Cyanogen's ROM comes out then usually you don't need a full wipe.
If you have Root then there are programs like Titanium Backup that can make the full wipe less painful.
P.S. I am assuming that you have done all the prerequisites that are listed on the CM page like having a custom Recovery installed.
Here is my phone specifications, does it have the prerequirements for cm 6 and also for frf91?
-android: 2.2
-baseband: 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7
-kernel: 2.6.32.9-27220-g328f560
[email protected] #1
-build: frf50
The only pre-requirements for those are that it's a Nexus One, so you're fine.

Sorry ... all I meant by 'prerequisites' was the steps you have to do first before you can flash. Looking at the Upgrade Page, it looks like all you need is to have your N1 unlocked and a custom Recovery installed.
If you have those two things done then it is pretty easy:
- put the ROM zip file on your SD card
- boot into Recovery
- do a full wipe to Factory
- install the ROM zip
- reboot
thanks for helpful responses. it is done, I have cm6 rc1 on my n1.
the extra thing I did is wiping data/factory reset.

[Q] Nexus One Sense Rom Problem

Hey boys & girls
I've got a problem:
Every time when i flash a Sense Rom on my Nexus One everything is fine when i start it up. Network is fine and also Mobile Data is fine, but when press the sleep/wake button to lock the screen the mobile data dissapears
Then when i enter settings to turn it on again, it's not getting on
That happens to me on every Sense Rom (Kingdom v0.2, evil's NXSense, Modacos r24,..)
The APN Settings are correct.
I'm really pissed of because the Roms are great but they are useless for me without Mobile Data
My Phone:
Radio Update - 5.12.00.08
RA-passion-v2.2.1
HBoot 0.35.0017
Any suggestions?
What recovery are you using if your using clockwork 3.x I would change to either a previous version of clockwork (i.e. 2.5.1.4). And if your on Amon RA then I would try doing a temasek system wipe before flashing your ROM.
I'm using Amon RA-passion-v2.2.1.
What is a "temasek system wipe"?
When I flash a CM7 onto my nexus one there is no mobile data problem, only with these sense roms.
temasek wrote a script to do a more thorough wipe than the one normally performed through recovery...
Heres a copy of the script:
http://db.tt/fH1vZNM
Temasek system wipe is a .zip file that will wipe the system partition of the phone this will sometimes solve problems when flashing ROMs. Here is a link to the zip just flash it like any other zip http://www.mediafire.com/?7l9nadd9ekkp7ae
EDIT: You beat me to it danger
thanks guys! I will test it and let's see if it solves the problem
Edit: Does this also wipe battery stats, so that i have to calibrate my battery?
Ok i flashed the extremewipe.zip and then flashed a rom onto my nexus one. Now the phone reboots into the fastboot mode everytime a press "reboot phone" in the recovery menue. How can i fix that?
Sounds like it might be missing the boot partition. What firmware did you flash?
eViL's NXSense HD
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with Sense-based firmwares. Have you tried an alternate to see if it is limited to that particular one? Maybe try and flash CyanogenMod as I know that will work fine after using the Extreme Wipe.
Okay now I'm on CM7 and everything works! Is it possible that i need a froyo radio when i use this sense based roms?
Gingerbread works best with the 5.08 radio (found under Settings -> About phone -> Baseband (we take the two sets of numbers after the underscore "_"). I don't think Sense has any additional requirements with it.
I think the the ROM you flashed didn't contain anything for the /boot partition (or it just screwed up with the flash)... but that is just a guess.
So, I have to roll this thread up again.
Now I'm back on CM7 Nightly, everything works also data
And I think I tested all Sense Roms out there for the Nexus One and for me only KingX's Sense Rom and NexDesire were working.
But with these two, Bluetooth isn't working
On every other Sense Rom it is the same
I start the Rom and Data is there and after i press the sleep button to turn the display off, my mobile data dissapears, I have no clou what is wrong with my N1.
On all the Gingerbread Roms my mobile data works but the Sense Roms are killing it.
I just want to use a Sense Rom
Sorry for waking up the dead but I have the same issue. It seems to be an incompatibility between libhtc_ril.so in the rom with the radio that nexus one is running. Now, Im not sure how that could be generalized because many users have installed same roms that we tried and as well same radios and no issues with radio/data disconnecting when screen goes to sleep.
So, again, any bright mind cares to give a spoon of wisdom?
What are we missing?

[Q] CyanogenMod 6, I can´t "touch the android"

Hi, I´m just installed CyanogenMod 6 and gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed, but when started, I can´t "touch the android". Before installation I did wipe data, superwipe and fresh install but there is the same problem. Can you help me? Thanks
try this touch the 4 corners of the screen to skip installation here is a couple of videos showing you how to do it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5XjF6sPef4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWKXn2Vgkqo&feature=channel_video_title
If that doesn't work wipe and reflash... if that doesn't work redownload wipe and reflash
I tried it yesterday, but when I did it, phone didn't find any network and in settings in Baseband version was Unknown. In cyanogenmod 4 I see in menu 2.22.23.02, i tried to reflash other radio 2.22.19.26i, but it didn't work either.
Sorry for my English
Looks like there was a problem in installation... missing basebands usually only happen to Samsung galaxy devices.... try unrooting then check if your basebands come back... if they do congrats... if they don't you won't be able to use your G1 as a phone anymore...
Sent from my HTC Vision
I tried: Unroot, install android 1.0, then by tutorial on Cyanogenmod Wiki I rooted phone (by telnet method) and I downloaded spl, radio, cyanogenmod and gapps, I flashed it, but there was the same problem. When I flashed another ROM (AOSP 2.2) radio works. And when I flashed CyanogenMod 5 Radio worked too, but when I restart phone, Rom can't started without wipe. BTW: Do you have any ROM 2.1 or 2.2.1 with Czech language?
