amon ra 1.2.3 helpppppppp

hey i cant wipe ext and a few other option does not work from the recovery menu....??? it gives me error like
wipe from console???please help.....
when i click repair ext it says to do it from consol when i click wipe cach it says do it basically from via console.....please help....

so do it from console? thats the simplest method to fix that...
try flashing recovery again.

okay....
well is there a site with the commands i might need.....i tried to wipe the ext with this
# mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
but does not work??

if im not mistaken, that code just remounts/mounts the ext.... what you need is found by searching "console" + "reformat". And second result later...Here.....
Try searching the forums first. good luck

okay this is what im going to do?

If u doing this on G1 u got a wrong recovery image there is only 2 versions 1.2.2 and 1.2.3 there is no G or H. Link is in my signature. Why would u flash if u recovery image works half add u might as well **** ur **** up, flash proper recovery image. AND READ FFS IT'S ESSENTIAL.

Ghosty you need to put your phone down and start reading for a few hours, yes hours.
Your obviously jumping into that phone knowing little to nothing about what your doing.
So unless you have the funds to buy a replacement phone, start reading.

Weird issue

Fixed. This post can be deleted if a Mod deems it necessary.

rofl. not dissing you or anything man, i just thought that you posted this but in your sig you say "im pretty pro at android. need help? message me". sorry its ironic. but...i really dont know. you cant get into recovery? what firmware are you on as of right now? what rom are you on too?

I didn't want to brick my phone, so I was just seeing what others said, I fixed it though. As I said, I'm pretty pro with android.. Haha, and this no service bull didn't help at all.

You said you have the new spl as in either Hard or Engineering??
If so you could use fastboot to flash cyanogen's recovery back with
fastboot flash recovery (path to your recovery image)
then you could use cyan's recovery to get back where you wanted to be

I fixed the issue, but I was running HTC ADP1 1.6, with HTC's recovery image. It wouldn't let me flash cyan's ROM from recovery, or flash cyan's recovery from inside the ROM with Terminal Emulator, I was told that the permission was denied. I ended up going back to rc29, to 1.5 and then used the "One Click Root" method to flash Cyan's Recovery and restore a backup of Cyan's latest release.
Strangely, I though HTC ADP had root? Why wouldn't I have been able to SU and gain access. Well, whatever the reason, it's fixed now.

[Q] Installing Clockwork and using Nandroid on Legend

This might be an obvious question but I've looked around and haven't found much info..
I've rooted my Legend and have Blay0's B 0.2 Rom.
If I want to flash something I have to plug in and go to recovery and run recover-windows.bat from Legend rooting tools to get to Clockwork. Is it possible to 'install' Clockwork permanently so I don't need to plug in every time to get it?
Also because of Legend's extra security, S-ON etc, I'm not sure how I go about doing a NANDROID backup..
Can anyone provide some info? Cheers

Firstly this should be in general. Now you have 2 options, either get fake-flash (search it) or you can now get S-OFF by using Alpharev 1.8 (also search it)
There are no problems with using nandroid at all.

Fakeflash is safer. See my sig

I don't understand. I haven't installed any of these, I have only flashed ClockworkMod Recovery from Rom Manager. But I can still flash by going into recovery by holding back button and power(when the phone is off), choose recovery and then hold volume up/power at the red triangle.

Rom manager downloads the update.zip into your sd card. The reason I want you to read that post is that you need to understand what's going on. The fakeflash bit refers to what that update.zip does.

HELP! I can't flash a new radio!

Anyone can help me?
I tried to install Froyo by Laszlo, I followed the instructions, I tried to flash the 2.22.27.08 radio, but I received this message:
Install from sdcard . . .
Finding update package . . .
Verifying update package . . .
Installing update . . .
*************
Can't Install Radio
You are using CustomMTD
CustomMTD must be removed
before you can install a radio
Install from sdcard complete.
I don't understand... Install is complete or what? How to check?
Please help me, this is my first G1 device and i want a fast and stable ROM (Froyo by Laszlo).

Be careful you read up before you start flashing radios, a brick is easy if your careless. To check your current radio and spl just hold the camera button while powering on. This screen will tell you what's installed.

He needs to *remove cmtd* (by flashing fr_remove_xxx.zip) before flashing a new radio or spl by recovery, or he needs to flash the new radio by flastboot (which I suggest, because it's much more secure). Everything about cmtd you can read on Firerat's Github repository.

Removing cMTD
Yes, you may like to remove cMTD The primary reason for removing cMTD is to flash a radio or hboot via recovery. I'm not going to go into detail here, but if you can then consider using fastboot instead of recovery for this. Sometimes you have no option, recovery will have to do..
there are few ways to remove cMTD
With early versions you just flashed an original recovery.img
In later versions, I supplied an extra remove.zip which can still be used.
since version 1.5.9-Alpha4, you just set systemMB to 0
adb shell
sed -i s/systemMB=.*\ /systemMB=0 /sdcard/mtdpartmap.txt
then flash AutoPatch-v1.5.9-Beta1-CustomMTD_S.zip, format routine, reboot to recovery If you are restoring a rom, then flash AutoPatch-v1.5.9-Beta1-CustomMTD_S.zip (twice) to make sure the boot.img is patched

I understand this, that's the correct method? :
#1: plug the phone to my PC and install the drivers (need drivers?)
#2: run adb via "run" on the start menu
#3: write the resize command ("sed"? not "set"?)
#4: unplug the phone and launch to recovery, then run the AutoPatch-v1.5.9-Beta1-CustomMTD_S.zip (where can i find?)
#5: reboot to recovery, full wipe, install radio
#6: then reboot to recovery, full wipe, install hboot
#7: then reboot to recovery, full wipe, install ROM?

To remove cmtd you can also download FR-remove-v1.5.6-CustomMTD_S.zip, copy it onto your SD-card, reboot into recovery and flash the zip. That's all, now you have removed your custom partition layout, *but* your ROM installed will no longer boot up *and* you should clean up everything by either flashing Ohsaka's Superwipe or doing a
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
Now you have a clean phone with standard partition layout and you can start from there to install what you need. As always I suggest: Read before flashing! Especially if you want to go to the 27.08 /0013d combo you should read and understand Terry's thread before starting to flash.

Uhm, how to enter fastboot?
edit: i'm on fastboot mode but i don't have built on my PC.

Nah, i flashed the 1.33.0013d hboot via recovery and installed the Froyobylaszlo ROM. The radio needed fastboot, but i have a little problem... I installed the SDK, installed the drivers, but if i tryin to flash radio via fastboot, this searching for the dev for ever (waiting for the device)
The ROM is awesome, fast, have much of RAM, etc. - however not perfectly. I have 256MB Swap and 512MB ext4, but a few app/game, like Galcon and Opera Mini (my recomended apps) frozen at the beginning black screen and all browser (stock, Dolphins) force closing... user error? That's the missing radio's effect?
I thank all helps.

At what status are you at the moment?
Can you please boot into hboot-mode (back-button + power on) and can you send the spl/radio versions currently installed on your phone?
Force-closing apps normally are not related to the radio/spl version. I would wipe dalvik-caches and probably run "fix_permissions" on a root shell, this should help ...

Seriously need some rooting help

Okay this would be my third attempt root my HTC G1 to flash a rom. I keep up on ending up with a looping tmobile g1 boot screen.
i followed the steps from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14193280
and even tried this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
and even managed to get a quicker process of getting the all radio files and radio updates, hardspl and dangers spl, RA recovery from the first post and using a combined process of the first and second post. all my real problem is is that i need to flash a rom in order to not loose the root. I checked out the ROM Bible thread, grabbed froyo2.2 and still got looping boot. I tried some CM but still the same i honestly don't know what im doing wrong. If anyone can help me out and give me a thorough explenation step by step please lead me to a thread, pm me, or reply!
EDIT:
I went back down to stock 1.0
I would like to get better at rooting so i would preffer to stay away from "one click" rooting

So are you still at 1.0? What files do you have, radios, spls, recovery. Its not too difficult and fully agree to stay away from one click roots.

if so then do you have a custom recovery or a bootable os right now?

Well thats what i can get my phone settings to. but i tried flashing a custom rom but i end up getting the looping boot logo.
Also when i load into boot loader should i be typing in a command in order to reboot or battery pull. I wasnt sure but im kinda wondering if that has something to do with it. Obviously im not battery pulling while processes are going on only afterwards when its done is what i dont know what to do.

when you boot to recovery is it amonra 1.7.x? if so good, then just to get things going flash your superwipe, when finished reboot to recovery then repartition sd card to ext4, (everything on card will be erased so back up, swap is up to you, less the 100mb if you do, and depending how big of a card you have try to get 512mb for ext. in amora first choose swap (0 is disabled) then ext, remainder fat32. then upgrade to ext3 then to ext4
when this is done flash THIS ROM then reboot

Okay so far i accessed root access using CM telnet app and flashed RA-Dream recovery. I will now will be updating radios and flashing spls
hopefully i dont mess things up
i have a nandroid backup just for safety

No don't touch your radio and SPL! You have the newest! And don't you already have amonra flashed? If not yeah flash the recovery then wipe and partition and them flash rom

you can just scroll down, no use for shortcuts, just choose partition, then choose swap and ext values, let it roll... takes a while, when done choose ext3... let it roll, now choose ext 4... ok flash rom!

1st boot always a while correct?
And idk what happened but it booted up and loaded the setup phone with gmail account and i went to sign in and it rebooted on me out of no where idk what that was about but it reboot a lot quicker this time.
Everything seems fine. Thanks a lot!
Now all i have to do is wait for the new digitizer to come in and this G1 will be working like a charm

Hey great! Yeah first boot can take a bit, also its nice to let the phone settle a few mins after it seems like its loaded. Also I tend to reboot again after I have things set up and then let it sit again.

Also does this ROM have APP2SD or is it safe to install an app2sd app?

it has native app2ext otherwise known as magpie
