You can run RAs recovery, it'll work just fine i use RA 1.2.2 just for the 96 size linux swap part but it'll work just fine.

any modded recovery will work. so you can continue using Amon RA. i am using that myself.

No disrespect to Cyanogen, but I perfer the Amon_RA recovery because there are more options available.

Did you follow the instructions properly? Did you flash the HTC image first then Cyanogen's rom? If it was your first time using it?

first i ran the DREAMING.nbh file, than install the recovery image, than install the updated radio, than install the latest spl and than the update ROM from Cyanogen website. i was reading through other post for the same error where the sreen is stuck on tmobile sign , it was instructed to run n droid back and than wipe and install the ROM from sd again which i did , and as soon as i click on home + power it took me to White box and arrow coming out and cell phone sign and it is stuck on this window for the past 20 min.
Any Clue

Below is the link i used for instruction,
http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-root-a-t-mobile-g1-and-mytouch-3g-android-phone/
All the steps i followed and have done it twice. Is there anything missing in these steps? can anyone help, I am trying to install Cyanogen update-cm-4.2.3-signed.zip and no luck .

You need to flash the HTC 1.6 recovery image first. Go to cyanogen's ROM's op and click the link to his wiki to give you detailed instructions

Wipe EVERYTHING

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.

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?

Help with Cyanogen

I need help running the latest cyanogen rom, i am currently on the sensehero, and want to make a move to cyanogen. Ive read, but am not sure what to do. Ive read, I need to download the android recovery image 1.6 and mount it on my sd as well as the rom itself. Then i wipe clear everything, fix my ext, then flash the recovery image then flash the rom itself. Are these steps correct or is there anything else i must do? And btw I have danger spl and current radio image and latest cm recovery, 1.4. Thanks in advance

[SOLVED]Self-rebooting nexus one :(:( any fix?

First off: one dumb question: does different rom need an updated Google Apps package?
Here's what happened: I was running CM6.1 with iNexus theme, everything was fine. Then Cm7 RC2 came out, I thought since it's a RC it should be stable enough for everyday use. So I installed CM7 RC2 using clock work recovery. Installation went fine. booted up and running. Then i installed iNexus theme for it. iNexus theme developer clearly stated that I should use RA recovey instead of clockworkmod. so i flashed RA recovery. once again it was just fine: booted up and running. Then i noticed I had no Google Apps working, i figured I forgot to flash Gapps package. I went back to recovery and flashed the zip. I thought since both RA and clockwork are custom recoveries, they should do just about the same as each other => RA 2.2.1 was used to flash Gapps package. Here's what I think that keeps my phone from rebooting all by itself over and over: The Gapps package i used was the old one that i downloaded the same time I downloaded CM6.1. I thought that since they're all Google Apps, they're just getting installed but nothing else. Now my phone just boots up to the Welcome page where it asks if you want to learn how to use your nexus one, the phone will then reboots back into the bootanimation after like 3 seconds showing the welcome page.
I did do a backup using clockworkmod, not RA recovery so I can not restore.
Anybody ever ran into this situation before??? HELP!!!! T_T

CM7 have a different gapps package, the one for CM6 will not work.
Theres a small gapps package that will work with both cwm and amon ra. if not you'll have to make sure the gapps your flashing is compatible with the recovery you're using.

umh...since i can't boot the phone into work. so I'm gonna download another Gapps and put it on my sd card then I'll flash it...maybe that'll work? hopefully!

Can you still boot into recovery?
I would do this
put the following files on your sd card
1-temasek extreme wipe file
2-cm7 ROM your choice of RC2 or nightlies
3-CM7 Gapps
Than flash them in that order
i'll be right back with some links
Get gapps here for CM7 http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/15767-cyanogenmod-7-for-nexus-one-v700-rc2-3072011/
Actually there's a new GB Gapps package, let me find that link
Get temasek's extreme wipe here http://www.mediafire.com/?bxfijcp6f6bf1me
Flashing the Extreme wipe will lessen the headache of "little" things that could go wrong.
Also recommend you sticking with Amon Ra, too much problems with CWM lately

uh.... some of the apps don't work??? is it supposed to be like that? Neither Market or Youtube or GTalk work ^^!

No problems here, all apps working for me. You flashed the right gapps?

[Q] Rom Manager Will Not Run

I deleted my Rom Manager in an attempt to refresh and install the pro version. I did this by using the force uninstall from TB, which actually did not remove it, but then I did remove it normaly via the TB remove app feature (not force uninstal). Now when I try install the rom, it will not load. I do not get any errors when I try to install it. It is just is not there / cant be seen by any app or in a directory. Any suggestions on how to fix this??? Are there any alternative apps???
Just fyi - I am also unable to install the latest CM7 version. It gets to the CM7 boot screen, but hangs on it ofr more than an hour with no progress. Just fro clarification, I have since reloaded the latest CM6 version, to see if Rom Manager would install, but it still wouldn't.
Current phone is a Sprint Hero, running the latest CM6 Version.

when you reloaded CM6, did you restore a backup or did you wipe everything and reload a fresh image?
I had a problem using ROM Mgr when I tried to flash the recovery. Ended up it wouldn't boot into recovery and after that it wouldn't flash the recovery anymore. I was able to flash the alternate ra recovery, wipe factory data/cache & davlik cache, reload clean CM6.1 with latest gapps. Still the ROM Mgr was goofy. I used the fix permissions tool in ROM Mgr and it finally allowed me to flash the CWM recovery (2.5.0.7) successfully and reboot into recovery mode. Maybe the fix permissions or making sure everything (besides your SD card) is wiped would help? Or, try using the ra recovery to load your CM7 image (not sure if that is supported).

You need to do a full wipe of absolutely everything and then update your recovery image. Do a fresh download(try from a mirror) of the latest CM7 version. Make sure that everything is fully wiped and you wipe your system, cache, data and davlik-cache. Do the wipe TWICE.
Once you are flashing CM7, make sure you only flash the rom first and then boot up and see if it goes through.

Thanks for the info, Waffle_.. So to just clarify... I need to:
1. wipe everything twice
2. get a fresh download of cm7
3. then install cm7
What do you mean by "Once you are flashing CM7, make sure you only flash the rom first" -- Like make sure it boots up before installing anything else????
Thanks!

Yes.
Meaning, when you flash the rom, don't flash gapps or anything else. Flash the rom only, then reboot and make sure it runs. And then you can go back and flash gapps, etc.
