Hi All,
I seem to have a problem with the wife's G1.
She had Cyan's latest ROM 4.2.14.1
She wanted to try a 2.1 rom so I loaded CaNNoN202 eclair and it worked fine, even the live wallpapers.
Anyway, she wanted to go back to Cyan so I wiped the phone including the dalvik cache.
I then flashed cyan 4.2.14.1 and tried to re-install her nandroid but it just hangs on the first boot screen.
The other issue I sometimes get is it says 'run nandroid from console'..
Any odeas what I need to do?
Thanks

I am completely stuck as of now, tried everything! No idea what else I could try. I basically can install any rom just fine, Dwang 1.12 works fine, Cyanogen Mod 4.2.5 works fine too. I am not able to install the latest ones by either though, what could be the issue?
I have rooted MyTouch 3g.
What do you have on your phone right now, and what methods have you tried? What have your steps been?
I have 2 MyTouch 3g phones actually, one is my roomie's and I can install dwang's 1.13 just fine on it, weird .
For dwangs:
Backup
Wipe
Install
Reboot and get stuck on the MT3G boot screen
For Cyanogens:
Backup
Wipe
Install rooted Base
Install Cyanogens
Reboot and get stuck at MT3G boot screen.
It is my understanding that Dwang's latest is based off Cyanogen's 4.2.6, thus I can see why both of them won't work. But why?
I am on Cyanogen's 1.4 recovery tools, I've had Amon RA 1.3.2, as well as RA 1.4.
HBOOT: 1.33.0006 (SAPP30000)
Radio: 2.22.19.26I
anybody?

Sorry i can't help, but just to add on... I'm having almost the same issue, but with a G1. Although i can install any of Dwang's versions, including 1.13, but as far as cyanogen goes, 4.2.5 works great, but 4.2.6 and 4.2.7.1 i get stuck at the g1 logo when trying to flash. If anyone can help my set up is
SPL 1.33.0006
Radio 2.22.19.26I
Amon_RA recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img
have you both done thorough wipes through the console?
Are you flashing the signed developer zip file before trying to flash the rom itself?
The process should be...
Wipe
flash signed dream developer zip
NO REBOOT
flash the rom zip on top of the previous zip
Reboot
you can find links to the signed dream dev zip here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593626
Since the first guy has a mt3g, you'll need to find that primary file. The dream one wont do it for you.
check cyanogen's wiki over at cyanogenmod.com
I've had a similar problem. I follow all the instructions correctly, but Dwang's 1.13 works and CM doesn't. For CM I did everything, wiped, flashed 1.6, flashed CM, rebooted, and then it would go back into Recovery for some reason. I'd reboot again and it'd hang on the Rogers screen for me. I couldn't fix it so I wiped, flashed Dwang's, and his worked fine. No clue why CM wouldn't work for me since that's the ROM I actually wanted.

Yes the first reboot writes the radio files. The second boot writes the cache.
You will have to hit reboot when the cache writing stops. (reboot will become an option in the recovery)
This is the first boot of a brand new OS as far as your phone is concerned and it will take a few minutes. The boot process will take a while. The phone is writing and moving the entire android OS.
I have had mine hang for about 10 minutes before. Sometimes it is 5 minutes.
Mine normally hangs for about 2-5 in the G1 boot screen and another 3-5 in the cyanogen logo.
I am currently running xRom Eclair v1.0 and have been having problems with it. I would like to go back to Cyanogen 4.2.13 but every time I try it gets stuck at the G1 logo. I have searched the forum, but not sure if I'm searching for the right thing. I am using RA recovery and wiped everything that is on the wipe screen but no luck. Is there a way to install Cyanogen 4.2.13, if so, how would I go about doing it?
Thanks in advance!

did you flash HTC's recovery image like it says in the instructions?
I have been running Cyanogen 4.2.15.1 for a few months now, I recently noticed that 5.0.7 (test5) for the G1 was released, and am trying to get it to install.
I follow the various steps to install, I have DangerSPL installed, then Cyanogen, then the Google Apps, and the install procedure seems to work correctly.
It hangs on the G1 screen for a long time. I read that 5-15 mins for a first boot is normal but I have had to on 30+ mins.
I can reboot into recovery and install 4.2.15.1 again, and it works like a charm, I wipe and try to install 5.0.7 (test5) from a fresh 4.2.x and no luck.
Has anyone had any similar problems or know of a way to solve them?

first off bro never flash it direct on top of a rom your not sure of. but all u gotta do is :
wipe all 5>flash danger spl>wipe data factory only>flash test5>flash google app add on>reboot.
if this fails then u jus need to start from rc29, re-root, flash test5.
i kno for a fact this works. if u still need assistance feel free to pm my profile here on xda and ill reply asap.
goodluck and enjoy
Ok here is what I did, I flashed Amon_RA's recovery image (I was using CM), wiped everything with Amon_RA and installed DangerSPL, CM 5.0.7, and the Google Apps, and this time I was greeted with the nice new boot logo!
I dont know if it was just bad luck on my part of if the CM Recovery Image is not a good choice for installing 5.0.7?

Hi, I've been following the Cyanogen upgrade path since I rooted my phone a couple months ago. The problem is now that I have installed RA-recovery 1.7 and CM6 I can't get anything installed besides CM6 running on the phone.
I did install clockwork recovery and same for that. CM4 hangs for an hour+ at the boot screen. CG_slide2g1 and kings slide2g1 and various hero roms will install and boot but then rosie force closes and the only thing I get is the notification bar.
I downgraded to ra-recovery 1.6 and same results for each. Between each room I do a full wipe of everything, including sd card reformat, with same result. The only rom that will install is CM6.
Anyone have any ideas why?

I believe that you have to do a full system wipe from fastboot, as recoveries do not clean out all of the CM6 files.

Does apply for clockwork recovery to that you can format the various different partitions? Sorry, still learning and want to make sure.
hopefully this is where this goes. >_> if not, please guide me to where i need to be.
OK. so what is going on:
-right now i am using a STOCK version of 2.2.1 FRG83D, that i rooted with superoneclick.
-i used rom manager to flash RA recovery, because somehow i can't flash roms with clockwork anymore. errors out every time, regardless of version
-i can flash new custom roms using RA, etc etc, but cannot flash roms and restore to old backups
-if i try to USE a custom installed rom, no matter which it is (i have tried a few gingerbread, nxsense, and some 2.2.1 roms), they will ALWAYS reboot after using them for a few seconds, regardless of what i am doing (setting up, using market, or just letting it sit and do nothing)
what i have done before this happened:
-i was using nxsense perfectly fine. great rom, ran great.
-updated rom manager, and clockwork recovery
-tried to flash a new boot animation, but noticed that the new clockwork won't install older .zips that use assert-scripts(?)
-tried to downgrade clockwork, and it randomly restarted the phone during the downgrade
-wanted to try gingerbread, so i flashed the new(er) hboot 0.35.0017 even though i think i had it already, and installed the rom succesfully.
-the rom wouldn't let me download from the market, as it restarted when i tried to download anything.
-i thought the problem was with the new hboot, so i went through a tutorial to revert it back to 0.33.0012 and went back to eclair, so i updated up to frg83d (and obviously got the 0.35.0017 hboot back through updating) and rooted.
the rom i am using now (stock with root) runs fine. haven't really found any real problems.
i just have NO clue why i can't use custom roms. i would absolutely LOVE if someone could help me on this.
I also had similar problem two days ago. I upgraded my clockworkmod recovery to 3.0.0.5 and tried to flash MM CM7 v14. All the problem began. I cannot restore any custom roms except the stock froyo and MM CM7 restarts like crazy whenever I try to install any apps from the market. After that, I also tried RA recovery. No luck. Luckily, I finally find out that the latest recovery messes up my ext3 partition. So, I backup and format my SD card, recreate ext3 partition, restore the SD card, downgrade clockworkmod to 2.5.1.4, wipe everything, fix permission and install MM CM7. It finally works. Hope this help.
PS: as long as I downgrade the clockworkmod, I can restore any custom roms.
Never flash now you will brick it soon
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Latest ClockworkMod was known to have some problem, perhaps.
Use Amon_Ra's, if you want to be sure, and wipe everything (data & dalvik-cache) when going from ROM to ROM. Use Titanium Backup for restoring the apps.

You're welcome. Glad to know my experience can help solving yours too.
Definitely a problem with Clockwork 3.0.0.5! I just went through madness trying to figure out WTF was up as well. The only fix was to completely format and re-partition my card then use RA instead of CW, works great now and I don't know if I will use CW again! What a pain...kinda regret having paid for ROM Manager now after this latest fiasco.
