hello, I made the following steps: (I try to flash Jachero 2.3.5)
1) Install RC29
2) Install recovery image 1.3.1
3) Flash latest radio: ota-radio 2.22.19.2.6I
4) Flash latest spl: 1.33.2005
... and when I try to reboot, the phone stay stuck in the G1 screen.
What I'm doing wrong ?
Do you have root? If you do which im hoping is true try reformating your sd card cuz sometimes whenyou flash different roms some of the old stuff stays even after reflashing
hope that helps
you might have a brick, after flashing the SPL you are supposed to have another sd card with another ROM(or the same ROM) on it to reflash, if not you can get a brick
Sounds like you just need to reload your rom on. Once you flash the spl you need to reflash your rom otherwise you will be stuck at the g1 screen due to the fact you don't have a rom loaded on your phone because the spl update overwrites your rom.
It's Normal, i went through the same thing. After installing the SPL you have to re flash your ROM. im no expert but what i did was:
Note: i added the cyanogen recovery image 1.3.1 and also i have ROOT,
I had Cyanogen 3.6 rom so i flashed the radio then spl. and got the g1 screen.
then i flashed 3.6 rom on again. (turn on phone with power+home, alt+w to wipe, alt+s to install)
After it loaded the cyanogen 3.6 so i checked the settings to make sure i had the right spl and radio. and then i just flashed the JACHero rom. just like i did with the Cyanogen rom.
Probably dont have to reflash the cyanogen rom i was just being careful.
Just mount your sdcard in recovery. Boot into recovery and press alt+x. Now type:
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
Remove the update.zip,and place your ROM of choice on the sdcard. Rename it to update.zip. In recovery console type "reboot recovery". Now wipe and flash away =]
Not trying to be dumb but i been using JF 1.5 for like 6 month (completely forgot about xda and android stuff for about 4 month since i busy with school).
So now i got JF 1.5 and i want the new Cyanogen V 4.2.3.1 since i did read alot and seem like the best one for now.
And so i did try to install......for about 4 HOURS.
I tried :
- JF 1.5 -> Cyanogen V 4.2.3.1 = Stuck at the boot screen
- JF 1.5 -> cm-recovery-1.4.img -> signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip -> Cyanogen V 4.2.3.1 = After boot screen (when it suppose to come on the welcome screen) it just turn blank...the screen is one but completely blank.....
- I WIPE again -> HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 -> Cyanogen V 4.2.3.1 = Samething, blank page.
So what did i do wrong? I did do the install of the recovery Img 1.4 and the ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip.
I did wipe everytime i install something.
Sorry for the bothering and noob asking for help but i do need help....i tried my best and sitted here for 4 hours already
And talking about those Guide on WIKI, i tried to follow all of them and still.......only thing i didnt try is reflash, unroot, root again and do the install of new ROM
Is your SD card partitioned correctly?
You need:
FAT32
EXT 2/3/4
Linux-swap
Do you have those three partitions?
If so, did you wipe your EXT partition?

Omg, i only have 1 partition
It Fat32 i believe and i dont know how to make the other
i have the Class 6 8GB though, what shud i do?
Quick update.
I just follow the Stock to Cyanogen Post to upgrade.
I reflash the whole phone, root then Cyanogen again with format 3 Partition of Fat32 (7000MB), ext2 (700MB) and Linux-swap (150MB) and it still doesnt work, stuck at boot screen this time.....i really really dont know what to do now, i tried everything
alright buddy, you don't need to have any ext or linux swap partitions to run cyanogenmod
just make sure you have his recovery image, 1.4, or amon ra's recovery flashed on your phone
now you might as well just flash the haykuro "death/danger" spl to repartition your phone's internal memory. flash the radio before the spl
now go into recovery and wipe data/cache,
follow cyanogen's directions on how to upgrade
flash the adp 1.6 htc recovery image file from the htc site, DO NOT REBOOT
immediately flash the latest cyanogenmod update on top of that, reboot,
it'll give you some stuff about writing the radio, just let it do it's thing
now you're done, boot up
and give it some time.
first boot takes a little bit more
enter your credentials into your phone, let it sync
then reboot again, it lets everything soup together

I just did the exactly same thing u said and it get past the Boot G1 Screen, then pas the Cyanogen Screen then it get stuck at a blank screen again, what wrong with that?
Since you're able to get to the "Cyanogen" screen -- do you have adb installed on your computer? A logcat of what's going on would be useful.
Alternatively; try flashing the "illegal" version of the newest Cyanogen ROM -- the "single flash" update. However, do it a little differently than you'd otherwise expect.
With the old JF 1.5, install Cyanogen Updater from the Market. Download any update -- doesn't matter what; you won't be flashing it.
Download the single-flash version of Cyanogen's actual ROM from the developer forum; and then dump it into the same folder that the CM Updater app dumped to. From within the contextual menu of the CM Updater app, choose "existing update" -- and then flash the single-update version.
//SOMETIMES//, flashing a ROM via the CM Updater will produce different results than flashing it "manually". I have no explanation for why this is, but I /have/ seen it happen.
Hi there,
I too am running JFV1.51 and wish to change to Cyanogen 4.2.15.1.
I have the iamage from HTC but nothing changes when I flash it and attempt to immediately flash Cyanogen over it?
Did you have any luck in resolving this issue/
Many thanks!
You guys that are having issues need to use ddms or adb shell logcat to see whats going on.
Going from Cupcake to Donut is going to change a lot in your phone and will take several minutes to complete. Most of which is in Framework. That Android boot animation that pops up is in there so thus it may seem like it's stuck at the G1 logo. Also you should consider flashing your phone to the newest radio (2.22.19.26I or 2.22.23.02).
ok this is what you really do lol no if ands or butts to this method.

E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
Hi,
Firstly, many thanks!
However, after following this comprehensive and generally straight forward guide I still can't flash the new CM!
I followed all the steps exactly, downgrading to RC7 (I'm in the UK) & re-rooting the phone.
When I reach the stage of flashing Android 1.6 Base Image, the CM ROM & the radio it states:
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
and aborts!!!
I also do not have the option of alt+a only alt+s which is apply sdcard:update.zip
Where am I going wrong? And what should I do?
Thanks,
Joe

If you don't have ALT+A available, you have a recovery loaded other than what the guide says/thinks you should have. Are you using the recovery it suggests? Be it Amon Ra, Clockwork, etc.
Hi,
I was initially running Jesus Freak cupcake 1.5. Now the phone is currently at RC7 and rooted using telnet after starting the whole process again.
I am currently following the guide on the cyanogenmod wiki. I am using the recovery image suggested: CM recovery 1.4 img.
However, when I get to the stage for Flash Android1.6 & CyanogenMod latest I get stuck and states E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip.
All other guides seem to be specific to the US, for example androidhustler. I don't where to go next!
Please help!
I am having problems with my phone, specifically the dialer and messaging working properly, and I have a feeling it is some kind of remnant from a past ROM/theme I have installed, and I want to wipe EVERYTHING, but can't seem to figure out how.
I have a G1 with RA-dream-1.3.2 and currently have CM4.2.3.1, no theme. I have used all the wipe options available in RA recovery, but CM is still on there, so I know I am not wiping EVERYTHING yet. I want to go back to where I was right after I originally rooted and start over completely.
Thanks in advance.
Flash the ADP 1.6 image then the new cyanogen rom. everything on the system partition should be replaced

1.Flash 1.6 ADP-choose any zip
2.choose any zip then cyan
3.reboot
4.reboot again
This seems to have made me lose root access...?
Ok, this weird, I flashed the ADP 1.6, which I should need root access to do. But I can't flash CM, I can't use Quick Boot....
Not sure exactly what I am doing wrong, and I am not sure if I still have root or not.
Fastboot your system and recovery NANDroid's, you werent supposed to boot on the ADP ROM.
Didn't you do this when you installed cyan in the first place?
If you dont have nandroids, follow post 10 in this thread

Ok, I'm guessing I misunderstood something. I'm a "noob" so bear with me...
here's what I did.
I was running cm v 4.2.9.1 and decided to try and upgrade to the latest version. I wiped and reflashed and got 4.2.14.1 running, but I felt it was slow (the reason I didnt use any other new version), so I came here looking to see any new roms.
I decided KiNgxKxlicK AOSP 2.1 rom looked cool, so I downloaded it and flashed it (yes I wiped first). I'm guessing this is where it went wrong. The rom took 30 mins to finally boot to home (longest ever) but the sweet nexus screen made it easier to bear. I DID NOT do anything with an spl or any radio (that part still kinda confuses me to be honest). I'm guessing this is why I am in the predicament that I am.
The KiNgxKxlicK AOSP 2.1 rom loads fine, but was VERY slow. I decided I'd just go back to cm v 4.2.9.1. I went to wipe and reflash, but the G1 screen never disappeared. I let it load for about 30 minutes and decided that was a bit ridiculous before removing the battery (mind you, it never got past the T Mobile G1 screen). I was, however, able to reflash KiNgxKxlicK AOSP 2.1 rom and run it. This is all I am able to do. When trying to reflash cyonagen it just hangs on the G1 screen.
I'm a noob so I don't know what went wrong or what I missed.
Can someone PLEASE help me out here and tell me what I need to do to fix this. Thanks
Additional Notes:
Can't get to settings running KiNgxKxlicK AOSP 2.1 AT ALL, and a lot of programs Force Close on the rom.
Thanks for any help/input you guys can provide.
Thanks
Do you have Amon Ra recovery?
No I do not believe so, as I am not exactly sure what that is?
UPDATE: I should also note I checked my SPL and Radio, both were very old (as I realized I followed an OLD guide when I rooted my phone)
I upgraded to the latest radio and SPL and still have the same problem...except King's rom doesn't force close when I go to "settings".....thats about the only difference (still slow/laggy, lots of programs still FC)
When you boot into recovery (holding home+power) it should tell you what recovery image you are using. (i.e. mine says v1.5.2 down at the bottom of the screen) I ran into a similar issue when I attempted to jump between roms without taking all the appropriate steps; all I did was reformat my sd card, wipe the phone, and reflashed my rom and it worked great after that.
I tried reformatting my sd card, even re-partitioned it and I'm still having the same problems:
CM wont get past g1 screen after flash, King's rom still pretty slow....
What do you gys recommend I do next? This is getting really frustrating
1st: Check if youre Formatting is correct
2nd: Wipe EVERYTHING
3rd: Re-Format
4th: Try downloading the ROM again. It could be an issue with the ROM's
5th: Check you have proper radio and SPL (1.33.2005 and 26I)
6th: Pray
Try them all hope one of them works for you dude.
why is it that that 99% of newbs are on cyanogen
@Macrophage001
1. how do I CHECK my formatting to see if its correct?
2. Doesn't formatting do this automatically? I also "wiped" in recovery...
4. Not the roms, I have multiple CM roms, one of which I've had for some time with no problems and have re-flashed over and over
5. As stated above, I did not have the latest at first, i did upgrade to the latest radio and hakyuro(sp) spl to no avail.
@zachattack052
We've all been told it's THE BEST, much before even making the decision to root. I honestly thought CM was the only rom available, that's how much he's praised around here and other forums.....it's just what everyone tells us.
Here's what i suggest you do:
1> Download Amon_RA's recovery from here
here is a link to his thread
2> Transfer the file you just downloaded to the root of your sd
use this code to mount your sdcard from recovery console itself if needed
Code:
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
3>Disconnect usb and reboot to recovery (keep home pressed while powering on) or just type
reboot recovery if you are already in recovery console
4> Flash Amon's recovery:
Code:
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img
when complete, reboot to recovery again
5>Partion your sd using amon's recovery (All data on SD will be lost so backup if needed)
[Alt+P] then [Alt+0] or scroll down using the trackball or the volume keys
follow the prompts, set your swap-size to 96 MB (use the vol keys) and 512 MB ext2. when done use the back button to go back and reboot
The above step will give you the partitions required to run any rom. Please make sure you meet the radio and SPL requirements before flashing a rom.
6>Transfer the latest CyanogenMod rom to your SD and flash it.
I would suggest that you try bbuchacher's SuperD rom (it requires Haykuro's Danger SPL)
make sure you flash the radio first and then the SPL if you dont already have it
P.S. When anyone says full wipe, they mean doing a factory reset, wiping your ext partition and wiping the dalvik-cache. These are the first 3 options in Amon_RA's recovery's wipe menu
what i would do....
make sure you flash the HTC recovery files first before you flash the CM rom
go for the defanged version of HTC
so...(once u have amon ra's latest recovery installed)
wipe everything
flash htc / defanged (DO NOT REBOOT!!!)
flash cm latest rom
ALLOW IT TO LOAD FULLY
reboot (personal preference)
create a nandroid backup for future **** ups
enjoy ur rom!!

1: Go to recovery console and type parted. A list will show up with your fat32,ext2/3/4,linux-swap settings.
2: Yes it does but you can never be too sure.
4: ok
thanx guys I followed the instructions MrBurrito and cqms13 gave and am now running the Super D rom just fine.
Thanks again!
very quick question..
did you wipe dalvik-cache?

After installing the RA recovery, yes. I was running CM Recovery though when I began this thread, which is why I was not able to wipe dalvik
Hey guys, ive looked everywhere.
I have everything I need to install this rom, but considering I am new to installing roms (i only have cyanogenmod) I tried searching google for tutorials and I came up with nothing.
Is there a way to go from Cyanogen to OpenEclair; or do I have to go all the way back to cupcake 1.5 and start over?
If someone can give me suggestions or a tutorial/how to, that would be awsome.
thanks
You need Amon_RA recovery, Danger/Death SPL if you're on G1, apps2sd and swap partitions on your sd card and a complete wipe (ext, dalvik, cache). You don't have to downgrade to cupcake. Make sure that you're not on Rogers radio (EB10 or something like that) cause that needs all kinds of mods that I am not familiar with.
Death SPL - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625886
Amon_RA recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669
Card gets partitioned from recovery, so are all of the wipes. Everything is well documented.
Good luck.
Once I have the Danger SPL, can I just flash cyanogenmod to get back to cyanogenmod if I change my mind?
If I wipe, does that clear my apps from apps2sd?
Thanks, been wondering about this!
Yes, CM roms can be flashed with any SPL, most eclair roms require Death/Danger (BTW there's a reason it's called that, make sure you know what you're doing when flashing it)
Wipe will not clear your apps from SD card unless you specifically choose "Wipe ext" option or re-format your SD card from recovery.
Good luck.
