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

try to do UID fix in Recovery under Other
1.Plug your phone into your computer and copy all of your essential files to your desktop.
2.Set the DCconfig back to the default with no A2SD enabled
3.Go to Menu-settings-sd card & phone storage-press then press unmount sdcard then "Format SD card"

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

Well go to start > computer> c:/ drive
Find the android folder you created.. You can rename it to "android".
When typing in cmd when it first opens type
cd/
then type
cd /android/tools/
If you renamed your folder to android.
wait so if i go to dconfig and turn off a2sd do the apps auto go back to the phone, or what happs there cause i feel like when i use a2sd i feel like my phone is kinda laggy

Try this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644438
I'm not sure but I heard that Froyo doesn't like EXT partitions ...
Perhaps the kernel on the upper link should work. Give a try =)
i'm trying it now....let u kno how it works..and thanks for the suggestions
NO LUCK....DOESNT EVEN READ EXT PARTITION...I DUNNO what the hell KING is talking about
I have stock rooted froyo, and the apps that can be pushed to the sd card go to the fat32 part.
I have not tried using a2sd yet.
I will try pushing an app thru adb tonight to sd and see if it installs.
Update: I installed a couple of apps to the sdcard with ADB. One I don't use anymore, and one that I had installed from the market. I had to uninstall Google Earth, but I now have it installed on the sdcard and it is working just as well as if it were on the phone. Also tried Tower Raiders Free, and it also installed to the sdcard and plays with no problems. So I don't know if froyo needs the ext partition or not, but the newest ADB release does not in order for apps to work.
the benefit of EXT is space and i already have so many apps installed already from previous....the new method allows me only half and i would have to re-install all and for some reason...regular froyo doesnt sit well with my phone....like in 'manage application' it just says calculating...and i can never install certain apps
paul's (MoDaCo) r16 + have apps2sd on ext partition as an option.. i've been using it on ext4 since r16 dropped have about 75 apps including google earth and flash and have 135mb left on internal .. advanced task manager says 223mb with 20 apps running
did u have to activate the option? and how?
no .. its automatic... there are 2 ways... google (froyo) crappy apps2sd and our way of doing things.. just have your sd card fat32 /ext2/3/4 and thats it .. disregard the google froyo a2sd
You can try Darktremor A2SD and see if that works.
The rom you are on would need to have some form of a2sd launch command in the init.rc. In the old stuff, it would be a matter of putting the following lines in the init.rc:
1. Look for a line called class_start default. Add the next two lines above the class_start line:
start a2sd
on property:cm.filesystem.ready=1
2. Go to the end of the file and type the following:
service a2sd /system/bin/logwrapper /system/bin/sh /system/bin/a2sd
disabled
oneshot
Now, I'm not sure about Froyo and its Apps2SD...I'm not sure if you need to find the lines in init.rc (assuming they are actually in that file) and comment them out.
But try the program and see if it works.

Anyone tried the above post on froyo?
A link to step by step instructions will be appreciated.
Some steps here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Apps2SD but dont know what else is needed for froyo.
I want this because my /data partition is completely out of space, and no more apps can be moved using the froyo method.
Forcing all apps to install by default on the sd card is buggy at best.
update: works, see the below post, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6952103&postcount=16
Is SWAP partition still necessary ?
I've read that swap is not needed. Works without one for me

just wanted to note that this works fine on Froyo FRF83 too.
I used Paul Obrien's FRF83 rooted, deodexed rom.
1)nandroid+ext
2)flash frf83
3)flash apps2sd
4)reboot
5)bootloop!
to fix it:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell mkdir /system/sd
adb shell
/system/bin/a2sd install
a2sd repair
a2sd check
6)success!
edit: it does not start automatically on reboot, flash leofroyo's boot.img in bootloader mode to fix it
fastboot flash boot leofroyoboot.img

Hello, i'm new to this forum, i would like to thank you for taking your time to help me out.
First, i had a clean Starhub 2.1 android running milestone with update1, i flashed the G.O.T open recovery's of STAR_36_GOT_SERVICE.sbf to my phone, follow up by, opening the recovery mode and open the G.O.T open recovery's thru the updates.zip as instructed. After that i rooted the phone with the options there. after rebooting my phone and ensure that superuser is already there. i when back to the recovery menu and flashed the fastlightrom v2a, after indicating that it is done, i reboot the system and check the free space in setting it was 164mb or somewhere near there. With this and i went back to the recovery menu and went to the app2sd hack menu and split my sd card, i chosen the 8gb one, which create 1gb ext2 if i am not wrong, after the process is done, i went to install app2sd symlik edition, everything went smoothly and i reboot the phone and check the space again, it had 194mb ( Oh yeah ! ) Does this mean that app2sd had sucessfully installed to my phone?
To ensure that it is, i went ahead and install program like launcherpro, msntalk , and so on. i found out that , my memory had began to drop to 189mb, nevertheless so had sdcard. My Sdcard display a maximum of 6.9xgb of space, which means the sd card split was a sucess right? My worried start here, am i safe to say that the others programs that i am going to install from now on would be install to my sd instead?
I also found out that my current cpu freq was 1000mhz , by using android system info found in the market, i went to download the overclocking widget, i manage to tweak here and there and revert it back to 550mhz, so am i on the safe track that i did not hurt my phone in any way or other?
- Went to the recovery menu and clock it to 650mhz instead. solved?
Any kind soul could enlighten me with some good advices or config? i was temp to install the app2sd provided by dsixda's post when i post my enquire there.
And also, it seem that all my .apk that require root installation when i download them from the internet, i found out that it had become a zip file instead, with this i am unable to install it thru adb install right?
Thanks for taking your time to read this message, please give your advises, Sorry for my bad english.
Solved my doubts thanks.
I have searched a lot, spent time trying to figure everything out.
I have Hero that I am trying to make BA for my little bro. I have the evo now. Rooted and tethering. Not much else I need to mess with on it. Fast enough for me. But my old hero is now rooted and has the app to tether. I can't figure out how the heck to over clock it. It is slow and I want to kick it up a couple notches for him.
I have searched and all the codes that you guys use at the top throw the searches off, or maybe I am searching for the wrong thing.
Any links to other threads would be great. That way when someone else searches just over clocking like I did it will come to this thread and then link to the useful threads.
Thanks in advanced.
I see you are rooted already, is the phone running a stock rom? If so think about installing [ROM] cyanogenMod 6.1 stable (<<<<search). Then you flash a [Kernel] [GPL] DecaFuct [2.6.29.6] (<<<<search) and install a app called OverClock Widget, it is easier to use than the other one you can use called SetCPU. Thats pretty much it, somebody may chime in that can put a few links up but I am on my phone right now so I cant.
DecaFuct Max 768Mhz Kernel
DecaFyct Max 698Mhz Kernel
Decad3nce's Kernel OP Thread
These are JayBob's CM6.2 ROM Downloads.
Okay, so I need to back up my phone? Can I use the app on the android market MyBackup by Rerwarre, LLC? Then I need to download the files you linked me to in this thread? And then what?
Okay. I am sure you are all tired of hearing from me. But I am going to flash a ROM that has a over clock on it. I have a question tho. When I download the files. It unzips them. By that I mean I can open the folder and explore all of the files. Does this make it impossible to load that ROM? Thanks for your quick responses in advanced.
You dont want the file unzipped. Leave it zipped and put it on the root of SD card, that means just on the SD card, not in another file. Then reboot into recovery by powering phone off, then hold down the power button and the home button at the same time, keep them down until recovery comes on. If a white page comes up instead of recovery that says clear storage, pull battery and try again. Once in recovery you should see a few options. Nandroid, select this by clicking track ball while highlighted, this will back up your current system. After that choose install zip from SD card, then select the rom you loaded on SD card. After is says done, choose reboot system now. Then find Gapps 12-18-2010, I think those are the latest ones. Put them on root of SD like you did the rom and reboot into recovery the same way, choose the install zip from SD and select the Gapp file. Then reboot system amd you will set phone up with google like you did when it was new. You can then install one of the kernels linked for you, I recommend the 768 one, download OverClock Widget from the market and set it to 748, if your phone reboots for no reason lower that to 729, 710, wherever it becomes stable for you.
Okay, I did nandroid, I cleared everything, and I loaded the zip'd file ( I was trying to say earlier it is my mac's default action to un zip the file when it downloads. So I re compressed it. This might be attributing to my later problems) ANd then I rebooted. And it looks and behaves exactly the same as before.
Any pointers or ideas why it did this?

Since you re compressed it, it may need to be resigned before flashing. I could be wrong though
What does resigned mean?
ANybody have any idea why my ROMS arent loading at all?
Not quite sure if this will work on mac, you may need to find a XP pc to do this from. Here is a link to a zip signer though, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805766&highlight=zip+signer

Can you download the rom using the phone, then move file from download folder to root of SD card, using a file manager such as Astro or even better E Strongs File Explorer? I have read where some members have rooted, installed roms, kernels, theme, with no PC at all.
awesome idea on doing it from my phone. I didn't know it was a Mac problem. I can just run boot camp and boot up my mac with windows OS and try it on that. Thanks again.
Okay, i am trying to do it all from the phone. But the file is too large for the phones memory. And I can't figure out how to download righto the SD card. Any pointers here?

That's weird it should. I have my applications checked to be installed to external memory but I don't know if that makes a difference or not. Mine go to sd
How would I click that option.

Ok what rom are you running again?
I just go to settings then cyanogenmod settings then application settings & it will let you choose
The factory ROM trying to get the first custom one loaded.
use the xda app and navigate to the thread that has the rom you want to install. from there click the link of the rom and it will go to SD card in a file called downloads. after completed plug phone into PC/mac and move that file/rom to root of SD card. Then reboot recovery and flash, done. There are literally 100+ threads on installing a rom, search, read, learn. What recovery do you have installed?
Okay downloading it to my Windows 7 bootcamp worked like a charm. I did the red dawn ROM. Isn't that one already over clocked?

I believe it is, 710 maybe not to sure I have never ran it. There are faster smoother roms to run, why that one when we have Froyo for the Hero
