Want to reinstall CMod

hi,
a few days ago i uninstalled google maps on my G1 running the latest version on CyanogenMod. So i thouhgt i would reset everything by doing a wipe in the CM recovery Console (v1.4). So after doing a wipe i see that Google maps is still not there again. Im aware that i can install it again, but i would like to do a complete reset of all system files.
Could someone give me a hint on how to do this?
Thanks!

We need a little more info to be able to help.
What version of CM are you running?
Are you willing to do a complete wipe?
Were you running apps2sd?
Were you running a swap file or compcache?
Were you running a modified boot img?
Do you have a nandroid back-up?
Do you have any form of back up?
IF you don't know the answers to any of those that is fine, an "I don't know" is better than a "No", when it was really a "Yes".
All CM roms after {at least} 4.2.3.1 need the signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip (signed.zip)
{You can do a search for the link on these forums.}
The Google Maps apk comes from the signed.zip. Reflashing the CM on later versions will not get you anything from Google.
In fact you can really mess up your phone if you don't have the signed.zip .
You might wanna find it, download it, and have it on hand for when you need it.
And let us know the answers to the above questions so we can help you out.

Thanks for the reply!
I'm running CyanogenMod v4.2.8.1
Yes, i would love to do a complete wipe
I was not using swap2sd or compcache(as far as i know)
Concerning the Boot Image i have Recovery 1.4
Yes, i have Nandroid backup
Firmware-Version: 1.6
Baseband-Version: 62.50S.20.17U_2-22-19.26I
Kernel-Version: 2.6.29.6-cm42 [email protected] )
Build-Number: DRC83
I hope this info helps.

To have installed 4.2.8.1 you had to have the signed.zip file listed above.
Do not wipe ...yet
Try this...
HOME+POWER to boot to recovery
Install from zip
the signed.zip.....DO NOT REBOOT
Install from zip
cm 4.2.8.1.zip
REBOOT
The signed.zip should replace your maps program.
You might look into putting Amon Ra's recovery program on there instead of CM rec 1.4 RA's is more detailed and will allow you to wipe more data on the sdcard such as your dalvik cache and any partition data...IF you need to .
Try this simple step first and see where it gets you.

Ok, i applied the signed.zip, and after that i reapplied CyanogenMod 4.2.8.1.
Google Maps is back but some setting didnt get cleared. For example, the USB Debug mode is still on, or it continued to download some updates which i started earlier. It didnt reset everything.
Any idea why that might be?

LOL You said you wanted maps back...I got you maps back.
And now your not happy Jeez!
USB debugg is automatically turned on by the CM rom.
go to Settings>applications>Development to turn it off.
We didn't do a Fresh install we just did an re-install.
If you want to actually wipe it clean, then I highly suggest using Ra's recovery since it is a one click wipe.
Cm Recovery will wipe too.
Home+Power to cm rec 1.4
Wipe
Install from zip
signed.zip
install from zip
cm 4.2.8.1
REBOOT
And you should have a fresh install with no other data.
If you have apps already on there when you reboot, then you have apps2sd active and you need to wipe the ext partition to clear those apps.
The Amon Ra recovery will do that for you.

Well, i want to wipe since i got the feeling is a bit messed up. Just seems very slow at times and my connection drops once in a while.
So i'm going to Install Amon Ra's recovery and perform a wipe.
I didnt have app2sd active. I never did any partitioning to my sdard. Im going to Low Level format my sdcard just to make sure nothing is left on there. But as i mentioned, i did the reinstall as you said and after it booted, and i didnt the sign in stuff, setting time etc... it continued to download 2 apps which i started earlier.
I'll let you know how it went with Amon Ra's

Ok, this worked great! I installed Amon Ra's Recovery and executed ever option which had the word "wipe" in it Then applied signed.zip and after CMod. Perfect!
Thanks a lot for your help

[Q] No more CyanogenMod 7

Hi everyone I really hope someone of you can help me with this issue
This is my coinfiguration
Nexus One, with the latest radio & HBoot installed, ClockWork recovey 3.0.0.5 and original SD as memory card (4GB)
After wiping everything from recovery and formatting the Mcard with 128MBswap & 512MBExt I am no longer able to install any CyanogenMod 7 release either nightly or stable. I did try to clear storage from bootloader and replacing the RA 2.2.1 without success. At the moment the only rom I can install is the MIUI and the stock one GRI40, all Cyanogen got stuck after the boot. Is any other way to do a kind of hard reset at the phone?
Many thanks in advance
EDIT: apologize I did post into a wrong area, MOD please move to the correct place
Thanks

Are you flashing a compatible gapps?
Also, try using a different recovery...

as i posted i did try both recovery (ra 2.2.1 & clockwork). i haven't flashed any google apps as I did flash the rom only

The Nexus One doesn't need a swap partition, try re-partitioning your card without that.
Try to download this: http://www.mediafire.com/?bxfijcp6f6bf1me
Then flash it from Amon-RA. It'll format your system partition too.

mindfrost82 thanks for the link but it seems not working, do you have another one available?
Many thanks

I can't tell you how many users PMed me after using that format utility to find out that when they try to flash a new ROM, they only can boot to recovery, no matter what they do. A nandroid backup with a system image or going thru a restore process involving fast boot img restores is the only fix. Just reporting what I have seen myself using that utility.

guys thanks for your effort but I gave up. I still don't understand why my N1 won't launch Cyanogen7, but for sure there is something wrong on my telephone. After installing without issue the Kang-o-rama 1.2 b3 I notice that after launching the market the main page is blank stating that there is no application available...O_O

Try this:
Install the recovery following what is said here in "Second Method (manual method)"
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...pdate_Guide#Second_Method_.28manual_method.29
BUT use this recovery http://mirrorbrain.cyanogenmod.com/cm/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-passion.img instead of the 3.0.0.5.
After that, flash this file
http://www.mediafire.com/?bxfijcp6f6bf1me
(it deeply wipes everything away, thank temasek for this stuff)
Then flash CM7 release and Gapps following what is said here
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/20115-cyanogenmod-7-for-nexus-one-v700-10-april-2011/
I hope this helps

I'll give a try, thanks for the tips

Issues with GApps and WiFi on CM7

Hi guys,
I was using RODS MIUI with an ext card partition so far. Now today, I downloaded the new CM7.0.2.1 and flashed it using Clockwork Recovery. Once it was done, flashed the GApps 20110307. Rebooted.
Now the thing is, I can't find the GApps/Market anywhere on the phone. Its just now showing up. Is it because I didn't flash it right, or did I miss something?
And coming to the WiFi part, its stuck at 'Obtaining IP' forever!! PLEASE HELP!!
Just FYI, if it matters..
Radio - 5.12.00.08
Rom Manager - 4.2.0.0
Clockworkmod Recovery - 3.0.0.5

If you're using CWM 3.0 I would suggest downgrading to a CWM 2.x.x version.
Also did you do a full wipe including system partition?

Yes, did a full wipe and cleared the cache a couple of times before flashing. No luck.
Just noticed that, although the GApps don't appear on the drawer, they are shown in the Settings-Apps list. Weird.

Are you using DT a2sd? Also get rid of CWM 3.0, use older version or Amon Ra.
It probably fubar your sd card partition

try to use search and type in market.
I know it sounds weird, but I don't see Market in the drawer too, but after I search for it, its there all of a sudden.

Tried it now.. still no luck!
I got rid of the ext partition by doing a full format from my PC. I don't know if it really works, but the free space is now showing 14.8GB on my 16GB card, so i assume it worked. Did a wipe+flash again but ended up with the same problem.
And any idea about the WiFi issue?? It just gets stuck obtaining the IP!!! So annoying.

The problem seems to be solved after downgrading from CWM 3 to 2.5 and then flashing the ROM and GApps. WiFi was also fixed.
Thanks for the help everyone.

[Q] TeamHeroC2.3.7 No market, some gapps

My current ROM is jaybob's CM6.2 w/ firerat and using Darchstar's RA recovery 1.7. heroc is s-on.
Removed firerats and tried flashing TeamHeroC-2.3.7-22OCT.zip plus several gapps but cannot get Market to show up in the app drawer. Car home, talk and books sometimes show up. They all flash ok but market does not show up in the app drawer. I've tried to the following gapps each time wiping cache, dalvik+factory reset:
From CM7
gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
gapps-gb-20110325-signed.zip
gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
From OMFGB thread
lithid-gapps-0504-signed.zip
GAPPS.zip
From Hero deck thread
gapps-hero-20110522.zip
I would post in the android dev section but cannot since my post count is < 10. I've gotten by in the past by searching and reading threads but this issue I can't resolve. Any help is much appreciated!

Hi
U may have to either update ur recovery or try ROM manager recovery, then factory reset, wipe all, then under under recovery format everything except the SD card stuff under mounts abd storage...then
reflash ROM by itself. While there sync ur account, then flash the gapps. The hero deck gapps with voicemail worked for me.
I hope it works.

Agreed, it sounds like a recovery issue. I'd flash a CWM recovery and see if that fixes things.

In order to get rid of Firerat's you have to either flash a new recovery and then format/wipe boot, system, data, and cache (you can use Rom Manager or just find one to flash from recovery) or you need to use the Firerat's removal tool and then do all of the format/wiping in order to really get rid of firerat's. Any of those gapps should work though as I believe they are all universal GB gapps. I use Jaybob's with some 6/13 gapps.

thanks guys! resolved it by flashing cwm2.5.0.7 and wiping everything.

[Q] SD Card Removed???

Ok, so I went from Classicnerd to CM9 Alpha 2 to the CM9 Unofficial Nightlies and I am having an issue with the latest update. It seems that when I upgrade to either the CM9 Official Nightly or the most recent Unofficial Nightly, I am getting an SD Card Removed error. It seems to be linked to the upgrade from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4. All the apps that have been moved to my SD Card partition are not accessible. Anyone know why? I haven't wiped completely, because I am happy on 4.0.3, but I just wanted to see if there is an answer for this?

It sounds like something got corrupted. If you have a good backup, restore it, then wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache and install the latest nightly. That should do it. If you don't have a good backup, try wipe delete factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and install the latest nightly. You'll have to restore your data, but that's what you get for not having a nandroid.........
Good luck.
Edit : Rereading your post, I think you'll have to do a clean install of cm9. ClassicNerd uses different source. If you have a good backup, you can try advanced restore > restore data, or Titanium.

Yes, he's right.
When going from one release to the next in the same style of series (Alpha2 => Nightlies => more nightlies), you can get away with just a wipe of the /cache and the Dalvik cache. If you go from CN => Nightlies or Nightlies => CM, or any other combo that isn't the same series, you are best set to do a full backup, then a full wipe and start fresh. You can try an Advanced Restore, but be aware it might not work.

I too am having the same problem... it first occurred with the upgrade to 4.0.4. I wiped every thing restored cm9 backup and wen I'm instcalling apps and moving them to sdcard after about five apps my sdcard is removed and will not mount. So I reverted to cm7 (got to have headphone jack) and after moving some apps the samething occured again...

Since we are talking about wiping, I would just like to chime in and ask how that is done on the TouchPad. The only other Android device I have ever owned is my Droid X2 that I use now. And when I want to wipe that, Motorola has a method of doing it to where it sets you back to stock factory settings with a file they provide. Since the TouchPad isn't an official Android device and all, what do you use to wipe it and start over? A link to a thread that explains it would be helpful. I'm sure there is one. I will look.

for an answer to the OP i found this on rootzwiki....dunno if ok to post link but ima do it anyways...remove if frowned upon:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13277-cm7-fixes-for-sdcard-issues/
to fix my sdcard issues i AMCEUninstalled android and did a clean install of the latest moboot, gapps, clockworkmod, and cm9 A2. As for fixing the sdcard issue it also fixed alot of other things....no more Google maps constantly opening and wat not....much more stable.
