Hey, my problem is that i am stuck on the google account registration screen after trying to unlock my phone through wifi instructions. After realizing i didnt have USB debuging on in the settings menu i am trying to go back to the original settings.
I had to use the goldcard method, so would i have to format my SD card, and flash a stock RC file to my phone? im so confused and just want to give it all up until i have the patience to try again.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Dysengaged.
I am using Cyan mod, and I really wanna try out the Hero's stuffs. My only hesitation is that, my Sim card doesn't have internet and thus, flashing Hero ROMs ( required a wipe ) will lead to re-activating the phone again. Is there an " activate later " option like the one I did in Cyan build ? If there is, then my only problem will be solved. Thanks in advance guys, really appreciate your responses.
you could try it and if it gives u any issues where u cant sign in then flash your nandroid backup and all will be well. if u don't have his recovery image get it now. it has a ton of useful things in it. but if i do remember correctly in the intial boot up of the 1st haykuro released hero it had an option that will allow u to use wifi to do the set up. im not sure if its that way in the other hero roms floating around. just pop in the roms thread that u wanna try out and ask. its worth a shot i guess
Yes hero roms allow you to skip the gmail login and later go and sign in when you have a wifi connection, so go for it

It even asks if you want to connect to WiFi during setup so you don't have to skip it.
hi
any one tell me what i do when ma g1 say me this error
here is log
this is a problem with communication with the google server
Hi guys
i had a rogers htc dream. i have used to the one click guide and haykuro methods to root my phone with cyanagen rom. however my phone is running extremely slow for some reason and i would have to force close all the application everytime. the only way to make it work is to uninstall and reinstall and reboot and use them for an hour and start force closing again.
while i was browsing i came to find out abt Super Dwang. some people are sayings it stable and fast. so i decided to try it. so i also wanted to get the new recovery Aman-Ra. once i installed that recovery...i was no longer able to go in recovery mode or start my phone. it would remain stuck on ROGERS logo. no matter what i tried didnt help. in desperation and by panicing i used the method on code.google.com to unbrick my phone. which led me to download DREAM.nbh and update that. little did i know once i have done that i ended up on T-mobile G1 with 1.0 firmwire and the original SPL. noting i could think of worked. i did reasearch one for last 5 hours and no help. so i have no choice to but post a thread in hope for a solution. i do want to mention was able to go to firmwire 1.1 with rc033 if that helps. i wanan go back to original HTC DREAM they way it came from rogers with 1.5 cupcake. if i want to root again i will do it later. also how do u upgrade radio i cant seem to do anything. please help.....i dun have a spare phone!!! i can make call but i am just so disappointed....please someone help me! i am a noob at this!
relax
At least its still running. I rooted my t-mobile under nearly the same circumstances (v1.1 etc) using the gold card hack. Youre a noob? So keep reading until you know what youre doing. Im at work atm. Maybe i can help when i get home. But 5 hours waiting is nothing. Dont force it. You could try it in the #android irc channel at freenode, meanwhile.
hey sHR00m thnaks alot. but i was able to go back to the root mode with cyanoge. what i did is i used to flashrec to back up and then flashed cyanoge 1.4 and at that point i was able to goto recovery mode and i used my laptop to put donut and latest cyanogen rom in the sd card and did a full wipe and installed. however when it loads it still says t-mobile g1 no that i care. i was able to use 3g from rogers! (it also returned me to original radio). but then i installed the amon-ra recovery and installed it (btw its amazing) and i flashed superD rom (super dwang) and its amazingly smooth! but i have 2g...dont have option for 3g and even with 2g i cant access the interent at all...no edge noting. i can only use WIFI.... with cyanogen latest rom its darn slow everything keeps force closing. apps dont run properly.....id unno why. there are many who are like its wow fast and me i am not getting the speed. i dunno what to do....can anyone plz help? i need 3g back or otherwise return to cyanogen but need to have speed and stability....
ah glad you made it back. no idea about the radio thing tho. im sure the information you need is out there but dont mess with the radio until you get it.
hey thanks...so right now i am on dwangs latest rom....and although i wasnt able to go on interent with my provider. i manually put in the apn's and to surf on 3g however with the dwang rom i cant seem to make it work for app2sd. i mean i created a partition and when i load i dun see a second part for my sd. and when i am installing apps it uses internal storage but not full but a partial. for example i installed a 4 mb app but i saw a 2 mb decrease on internal storage.
Hello,
I am a newcomer to the Forum and I would be grateful if I could benefit from the experience and the knowledge of the experts.
I have an unlocked HTC G1 phone. I use the ATT network.
I would like to install Gingerbread.
Could somebody give me the direction where I would find a step by step guide to replace my actual Donut version with Gingerbread.
Here are the specs of the phone:
Model number Android Dev Phone 1
Firmware version 1.6
Baseband version 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.261
Kernel version 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37
[email protected]#19
Build number DRC83
well if its a dev phone it should already be rooted so ignore those steps, check and see your radio/spl (power on holding camera button)
your answer here will determine the next step
chances are you need to follow this link _ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
once this is complete follow the steps here _ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882356
if you need more help let me know!
Thank you very much for your reply.
Unfortunately my knowledge in this field is infinitesimal small.
That is why I am looking for a step by step guide.
Maybe I put myself in the wrong forum for my level and my needs. My apologies.
The only thing I know is that my phone does not need to be rooted.
Thank you again for your advice and your time.
Happy New Year to all of us
if your not finding what you are looking for ill see what i can do
first off i need to know your radio/spl - this will help me determine what you need to do next
just type in everything off the screen that will be rainbow colored or have three androids on skateboards
to check the screen, power off your phone, then hold down the power (red button) and the camera button at the same time. tell me what it says...
after you write all of that down press the green, red and menu buttons all at once and the phone will reboot normally.
gunner1937: There is a link I found in another thread for an older version of ROM Manager which will work on Android 1.6. Since you're rooted with a Google ADP phone this might be all you need. But I would go in the menu and do a factory reset.
I upgraded my T-Mobile G1 from stock Android 1.6 to CyanogenMod 6.1 (Android 2.2.1) three days ago following the instructions on http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Dream:_Rooting
I will stick with it for now. It came bundled with the ROM Manager app.
In the past week I've researched upgrading to Gingerbread and just recently there may be a bug uncovered where the phone no longer goes into Deep Sleep mode. This means the battery usage is not ideal compared to other earlier ROMs. It turns out virtually all Gingerbread Dream ROMs use some code by ezTerry, so they may all have this issue. So.. I think I will hold off on going to a flavor of Gingerbread until I get more info on this possible bug.
In your case I believe I'd do the factory reset, then load this ROM Manager onto it. You'd need to copy the ROM Manager.apk file to your phone's SD card. I would backup the contents of your SD card onto your PC just so you have any files/songs you want, and then format it with FAT32. You can format the SD card from a Settings menu on the phone if you like. I think there's another setting in the menu to allow installing a program from unknown sources. Find that and check it in order to be able to manually install an app like this. Or I dunno, that may not be in the ADP phone. Next you'd need to get on the Android market and get a file manager to be able to dig into the SD card's file directory and install the APK file. I used a text editor called TxtPad Lite which included a usable file manager. Another one is called Astro File Manager. With something like that you can browse the file system to be able to look at the files on your SD card and install ROM Manager. You'd just find the APK file and tap on it.
So then you're reset, got the ROM Manager app that will work on Android 1.6, then you can use it. You want to let it install the ClockworkMod Recovery first thing. It's required and what the app uses to manage installing your ROMs. I myself have never actually used ROM Manager to install a ROM (I did use it to install the ClockworkMod Recovery). I've gone in and out of the app. It asked me to update it, so I did. And I decided to stick with CyanogenMod 6.1 for now. It looks like it's gone through a ton of vetting to get it really honed.
I kind of wanted a more full introduction to flashing the ROMs and stuff and the CyanogenMod guide was great for me. This looks like a relatively painless and less complicated way to safely upgrade and switch out ROMs for you, and I might've done it more or less this way if I'd discovered it first.
Thank you.
HBOOT: 0.95.0000
Radio: 2.22.19.26I

Personally I would recommend you install froyobylaszlo
But anyways, first of all before you start installing the 2708+ kernel, you're gonna need fastboot and adb on your computer
What OS do you have on your computer?
one laptop is Vista and the other is Win7

If you are not testing it this is a bad conclusion:
*) Deep sleep may or may not be working.. this has mixed results but the device is mostly sleeping.. so yes if completely idle (ie no cell network no wifi, screen off, no services running..) you might go from 4days uptime that the system currently gets even with an sdcard to 5 days if the problem if it exists is solved
problem is deep sleep is when the ARM11 CPU is turned completely off (it is going into low speeds correctly, and disabling other hardware into low power modes) This means when you are using the phone this state will not be entered (and thus the phone uses the same power as it is now) when a service is actively running.
Thus most peoples battery enhancements in GB are from the new APIs to allow applications to stay in the background more in Gingerbread; and a much larger problem is many applications these days are running more services than the G1 can support thus the system is constantly swapping in and out applications from memory.
Thus those whose battery on gingerbread roms is draining fast will more likely benefit from checking what is running in the backgound than waiting on a deep sleep fix if its even a problem.. since the services will still run after any fix and the battery life won't improve.
What the op needs is the 2708+ radio/SPL (that others are helping with) than nandroid in recovery can be used to switch between roms; since it provides more ram to CM5/CM6 and gingerbread roms all work with the 2708+ combination then the op can pick what works best for them in a more overall evaluation... and not just what lasts the longest when not used as a phone.
To OP:
the best way to continue is to:
1) Install fastboot (and the sdk) on your computer. you will need to search for this since the since I don't know the details for windows
2) If you already have a custom recovery (clockwork or ra-recovery) continue; otherwise you will need to install one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4647751&postcount=1
3) then since you have HBOOT: 0.95.0000 install 1.33.2003 from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6510019&postcount=76 this will allow fastboot and let you continue with:
4) Then the installation section at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139 (The files section will have the various files required and older roms that have been ported to work on the new SPL/Radio.. newer roms mostly will work per instructions on the rom's thread) .. read the entire post before doing anything.. as this is a major change to the phone, and the actions to fix something if you run into a problem may be slightly different than they were with more stock roms..
Try to get a feeling for what is needed before you begin .. we know its a bit of an involved process.. but most users have auctioned this in smaller steps originally.
(Note the cmwiki will probably be the best way to install recovery)
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910008
Download the drivers only pack
I think it includes fastboot
I can't check, if not tell me and ill upload my files as soon as I can get to a computer
search in google (or probably even xda) for "easy fastboot" if your having issues using fastboot, its exactly that an easy way to use fastboot for noobs.
also you can flash your new radio/spl as well as your rom via recovery, it isnt recommended but it can be easier if you have issues. ill tell you i have done it this way many times and have yet to brick a phone but as always my experience dosent me you will have the same. so try to follow the suggested route of fastboot is best.
upgrading to Gingerbread
I should have taken a longer rest.
I am starting the New Year with the feeling that everybody gets the right to flame me: my G1 does not work after a very bad step.
I installed on the re-formatted SD card 2 files namely DREAIMG.nbh and cupcake.
In short, I got the message "E: cannot open /sd card /update.zip (no such a file or directory). Installation aborted".
The next step was to sign my google account. It failed.
At this stage I cannot format, read, transfer, and use the SD card because it is not recognized by the computer. And of course the phone is not working.
Right now the G1 shows in the colored bars:
DREA100 PVT 32B
HBOOT- 0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO- 1.22.12.29 (before doing anything to the phone the radio was 2.22.19.26I)
This phone was unlocked and set on the AT&T network.
Thanks to my wife Nexus One I can use, format, transfer files (which I did, to no avail) by inserting my SD card in her phone.
The least to say is that I really need the help, knowledge, and assistance of the Forum members.
What you don't want to hear is we see no error in what you have described. > well apart from the nbh file used it may be the original way to root but its not the easiest.
The message you are seeing in recovery is not am indication of a problem.
Ok, 0.95.0000 has no fastboot and thus you really need a custom recovery, to do that you. Need to flash it from the rom after rooting it, this means you need to try and boot the phone normally and log into Google normally.. if this fails try the following:
A.) go into recovery (home+power) and press alt+L then the combo to wipe the phone
B.) If its still not working try re-flashing the nbh
Oncce logged into google the telnet trick can work..
C.) While it needs a bit more setup, this third option is easier to install the 3rd party roms without a Google login and manual flash of recovery from system: make a goldcard ( you can do this on the n1) then put the orange nbh from the 2708+ thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139 this can be renamed DREAIMG.nbh and then be flashed with the gold card you made. (There are many guides on making the goldcard for HTC phones) Once flashed you will have a fastboot enabled spl that will let you flash anything by fastboot.
Thank you for helping me to breathe a little bit deeper, better, and slower.
So far I am in the same situation.
Dropping by BestBuy I found an SD micro with an adapter. It makes life easier for everybody.
I did again what I started, trying 2 different downloads of the .nbh file. Still locked at signing my google account.
Following your advice I will try to create a goldcard and follow the procedure you mention this evening.
Wait...locked at signing in to google account?
What do you mean? It shows google sign in but you can't sign in?
Do you not have a data plan?
If so, just google "activate g1 wifi"

I am still trying to create a goldcard with the nexus 1. I cannot install a driver for it, I cannot install a driver from HTC sync, I get a message that "the device is not connected" but I can see the microSD on the computer.
This is where I am. And I do not know anymore what I have to do next since I feel I am in front of a wall.

I did not express myself correctly.
When one reaches the sequence to sign into a Google account one has to enter email address then password.
I did that and few minutes later I got the message it could not reach the google servers.
Also, I have -rather had - a wi-fi connection since I got the G1 in December 2008.

There's your problem...
Wifi is off when you first turn on the phone
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Google_Login_via_a_WiFi_Connection
Use that guide to turn it on and sign in
And if you don't want to download the entire sdk just wait until I get on my computer and ill upload just the files you need
But tell me if you still need the files or not...I don't wanna upload for nothing
And if you can't get the steps right, I can try tell you more stepbystep instructions

I cannot take advantage of it: Device manager shows 7 Intel ICH* universal controller, 1 USB composite device and 7 USB root hub.
Nothing else.
No USB mass storage device.
Android SdK is installed on C: but I do not know if it is properly installed or activated because I could not check "adb devices"
