I ^%%* it up

Guys, I don't have the original image and the only image I have on my SDcard is eclair 2.0-1.2
I am just upset with the OP for providing insufficient instructions and I am very unaware of the previous setup required before doing it so.
I am in recovery mode and my G1 keeps rebooting over and over since I wipe the factory default.
I apologize for not using the search button because I don't see any answers, or maybe I just want direct answer.
Sorry, I have to ask this, how do I recover the image on my G1? I have it connected to my PC but it's currently in recovery mode right now.
Please provide me detailed step to step what I need to do. Thank you for your time and effort, this is upsetting me big time.

LMAO dude this is pure richness right here, you are posting in wrong section you know. And that title of yours isnt following forum rules. Were you rasied under rock or something? There are tons of guides that will tell you what to do, plus even vid guides. All directions are all here for your use.
-Best Regards Ace
Ps. if your in rec mode then your not bricked
Brick=cant turn on G1 pr G1 is stuck @ Splash screen

Gotta give props for the thread title ... is very attracting ... lol

Stop blaming the guys making the ROMS for your own F-up.
Learn to read the instructions.
ALL of them.
Don't blame them for the fact you didn't read THIS :
first you will need these things haykuro spl,ext3/linux-swap if you dont have it and if you do wipe them clean

The please provide links for those kinds of software.
I am really upset that no one will help me

Oh lordy!

You should be upset at yourself for not reading the clear instructions that are inherent in nearly every ROM update procedure. READ the instructions.

Searching forums before diving blindly into processes like these will certainly save you frustration and a bricked device. Again, blaming someone else for your laziness isn't exactly the route you should take.

quit hating ppl help noob out, which version of recovery r u using ? or is it stock recovery? Which rom r u trying to flash? If u r using stock recovery u should b serching for something like Fastboot or adb, if u using cyan's or RA's recovery that just find different room to flash.It would b nice to know Phones specs...SPL, Radio, REcovery etc. just like what i got in my sig.
For future references post in Q&A thread or where is the ROM u flashed is, Provide some info if u need help.

I am using standard recovery. I tried Droid Explorer and no luck.

Since you're too cocky and too ignorant to do most of the things on here, I suggest you put your phone back to stock as soon as you figure out how to flash images. Get the "recovery image" from here http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html, then go ahead and get a card reader, drop the file on the reader, rename it update.zip, boot into recovery, alt+s to flash it, alt+w to wipe, then reboot.

ok then go here and set up adb after u done follow the link in my sig to flash RA 1.5.2 recovery. After u get RA recovery find the rom u need to flash id suggest Cyans rom or WG and make sure ur SPL and RAdio is uptodate.
Good luck.

I know right! but hey give him a break i bet almost every1 of u ****ed something up eh ;-) .... personally i so "bricked" my phone twice.....lost root at least 5 times fing around with the roms and scripts....

Brutal,
Me and Ace42 spent around 2 pages in manups thread trying to help only to be told '**** You' we have given him all the links to help him yet still he does not listen and proceeds to be rude and obvoxious.
I think he is looking more for someone to do it all for him rather than using the information already given out to help himself.
All I can say is good luck, your gonna need it!

Help Me Please

I feel I've made a terrible (and stupid) mistake. I decided to unroot my phone from cyanogen roms. I read a how to guide that I guess was outdated because now I have android 1.0 firmware. The guidw was [how to] unroot by tubaking182 (absolutely zero offense to him, not his fault, I'm stupid, etc etc.) So I now have stock version 1.0. There's no check for system updates under about phone in settings so I can't do that. There are file manager apps that I could use to rename the necessary updates into update.zip, but there's no apps available like download crutch so I can download them. I also can't enter recovery. It gives me a triangle with an exclamation inside next to a image of a phone and that's it and I have no idea how to install an update without recovery mode. As I'm sure you've noticed by now, I'm the epitome of newb and feel free to laugh at my failure. I just really need someone to help me and would be eternally grateful. In all likelihood, I'll need step by step instructions on what to do. I know this is a lot to ask and I've really done nothing to earn this help... I really just need assistance. Thank you to anyone who helps me in advance

Not to be an asshole and say "Shoulda Coulda Woulda" but you really should have done your research before embarking on bricking your phone.

ItsAndroidsWorld had many videos on You Tube. Look for ones on how to root, then how to install the death spl, then look for the ones with Super D or FastTest .. as it seems as though they are probably the best roms for everyday use at this point.
I've found that using these videos via You Tube is the easiest way to go.
Good Luck.

in all seriousness, there's nothing actually wrong with your phone. You completely unrooted it. By following the aforementioned instructions, it'll be easy to reroot and update. What I DO find weird is why you're not getting 1.5 OTA...

although i hate when people post in the wrong section - im in a good mood this morning
http://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec
not sure if it works in 1.0 - it should as it uses a rather old bug to do so

Easy as pie...just follow the guide in my sig.

To those who say I bricked it, I know that's not the case it still works so I obviously didn't brick it... not that fail thankfully.
To thenameismax, AHA! I did not know about alt+l retrieving text so thank you thank you thank you. I just need to get the necessary updates and copy them to sd card root, rename update.zip/install one at a time... I think lol
Thanks again to all who helped and sorry about the wrong section. When I was rooting, it was in development. I assumed that unrooting would be too and therefore problems with that... further fail.

yeah man no problem. good luck.

Don't do anything. In a day or two you get an OTA update.
You can force the update like people have mentioned, but as long as you can hold off for a day or two you dont need to.
BTW, at some point you will see the E or 3G icon downloading like crazy and you dont know why. It is downloading the update. Stay away from task killers and in my experience it is good to be around wifi.
Just relax.

please help a newb out

I would like someone to explain to me in detail how to get the other lockscreen for fresh 2.0b i would like the non-sense one. someone tryed to explain to me that u need to use sdk. which i downloaded but i dont know what to do from there i unzipped onto my desktop now what?

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+delete+htclockscreen

I would mind a guide as well. Or at least a confirmation that what I find on google works in 2.1 roms...

edit: i mean the nexus style lockscreen

I would say dont mess with it. Sounds like you are not sure what ADB is and haven't really done your reading.
There are ways to backup files and restore files to change the lockscreen. Hell, there is a thread on page 1 or 2 that talks specifically about lockscreens.
Please do some reading, the info is right in front of you.

i looked on the wiki guide but it really isnt detailed. i have no problem learning how to do this and really would like to but the guide isnt specific

buy root explorer from the market and go to system/app/htclockscreen.apk and hold onto it and delete. after that then reboot

I agree, I am fairly new to the Android and I was able to get through the initial steps of rooting it and flashing it however, I want to know the details.
Do I need to reinstall my programs every time or is there provxml like Windows Mobile had?
I partitioned my SD Card because the option is there but what is it for? Why is there a need to adb push some items vs just copying data directory on the card from the usb connection.
Why can't I get Live Wallpapers to work even when I disable Sense UI via home switcher?
The Wiki is great for some of the how's but I am missing some of the why's. And where I can go. Then if you go to a thread, the people on the thread are usually pass the point I wanna know and refer to it in passing.
Sorry OP, I don't have an answer to your question, but just many questions of my own. Now, I admit I could have missed the information somewhere on here but usually that kind of thing is sticked but this forum chooses not to use Stickies.
Thanks for any help you've got.

Not sure what to tell you. The information is here for you to read. There are a ton of devs on this board that are doing a ton of stuff most of us dont know. This is a development forum, meaning they are de-compiling tweaking and recompiling. What you are looking for is a 101 class but these discussions are mostly 501 material.
Android is based on Linux. If you know that you have a leg up.
If you find a guide that teaches how to understand this stuff, please share it with all of us. Most of what these guys are doing is from lots and lots of experience and lots and lots of trail and error.
Hell, there are people that have gone to the lengths to write countless guides on rooting, pushing and pulling files, hell there is even a guide on how to compile your own ROM.
The information is there. Lots of it I don't understand either, so I sit back and try to answer what I can answer, most of which is just posting an answer someone else posted and I read because I have read a LOT!!!.

It depends. Don't know what that program is. There are backup programs that you can buy that will do backups. You only lose your apps when you do a wipe. Please read more and understand what you are doing before you do it.

You will have a very hard time getting answers to any "why" type question when dealing with programming. Most of the time I get from my devs is "why not" or "cause that's what I felt like that day"

There is a guides stickie, a rom stickie. Not sure what else you are looking for.
My advice, if you do not know what you are doing, dont do it. Dont flash a radio unless you know what that will do. Keep reading until you understand what you are about to do.

i tryed using root explorer app and hold then delete but it says it is a read only file and can not be deleted?

I agree with a lot of the posts I have seen so far regarding the information existing and having to spend the time to find it. It was a bear for me to figure out how to sign zip files so that i could customize ROMs, but after spending nearly 6 hours going from one site to another and one thread to another, I finally pieced it together and can sign zips. In the meantime, i also learned a lot of other things too because as someone else mentioned here, a lot of times a thread is full of stuff, but only references something that they might be interested in at that particular moment.
Unfortunately, this is an advanced forum and lots of the people on here have taken the time to learn things by just "putting in the time"... You need to do the same thing and use search 5 ways from sunday to find what you want... if 10 pages into a 50 page thread you haven't found what you want, you still need to finish the last 40 pages, click all the links in the threads and make sure you've searched things in that thread that you can't find after finishing it... then you do it all over again on another thread.
Guides are nice, but if everyone spent time making guides, development of ROMs etc. would suffer as this is not easy stuff until you figure it out and make it work and there is no truly easy way to make a guide that is multi-faceted.
Maybe if you learn things on your own, you can piece together all the different places you found the pieces you needed to do what you wanted and create the guide...

Thank you

Now if its title implicates its meaning, I think it might be answer to the question up above, but I haven't been able to find an explanation of what it is. Maybe that's my impatience.

You have to press the {R/W} button on the top of the screen first. Stands for Read/Write, when done press it again so it says {R/O} Read/Only

Joker,
I'm willing to try to walk you through it step-by-step if you want me to. Are you running Windows? If so, have you downloaded Android SDK Windows? Once you've downloaded that, put it in the C:\ directory of your hard drive and let me know. I'll try to make this in plain English. I'm rather new to Android myself, but this is a rather simple task if you have someone willing to explain it to you. I'll give it a shot.

Please connect your phone and select the HTC Sync option. I forgot to mention in the previous post that you should have the most recent HTC driver installed on your computer. If you have HTC Sync installed, you should have the driver too. When you connect your phone and select HTC Sync, it will search for Sync but not find it. This is ok, just acknowledge the prompt on your phone.
Next, open the Command Prompt. One way to do this is to go to the Start Menu ---> Run and type: cmd
This should open the Command Prompt in a new window. Next type each of the following lines into the Command Prompt and press Enter at the end of each line.
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app/
rm HtcLockScreen*
exit
adb reboot
Once you press enter after the reboot, your phone should reboot with the Android 2.1 lockscreen. If you have any questions or problems, feel free to ask. I'll try to check back and answer whatever I can. Good luck.

i got it to work thanks so much everyone for your help!

Go to the theunlockr.com. They have good tutorials. Good luck dude.

Follow the steps...
Follow the steps on this site to root your phone...you say you got back to cupcake (1.5) right...ok, then you are going in the right direction. I used these to root my phone a while back. The link actually starts @ donut and goes back, but you can find the cupcake instructions on there also. Remember to be patient...it will happen eventually. Hope that helps.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-root-a-donut-phone-android-1-6/

If your phone is truly rooted, just flash a donut or eclair rom? I don't really understand the issue here...
There are a million how-to's here and everywhere else.

It's a complicated process so there is no "easy" answer. I almost gave up a few times in the process but I made it. If I can do it you can too. This is the wrong forum to get help from. I think you want the G1 Q&A forum.

Welcome to XDA-Devs. Search is your friend

Search for Amon Ra's recovery, and flash that. From there, you can easily partition your SD card, and flash ROMs. Also, since you are on the G1, search for and read the thread about flashing the Danger SPL if you want to be able to run some of the bigger ROMs like hero, and some of the eclair roms.

you should have a recovery image installed, if not,install amon ra's. then boot into RECOVERY BY HOLDING HOME AND POWER. DON'T BOOT USING CAMERA AND POWER, THAT PUTS YOU INTO FASTBOOT. YOU FLASH ROMS IN RECOVERY OK? anyways, once you boot into recovery, wipe your phone and flash a Rom and you are all set ok?

@ op go to www.theunlockr.com they have video and written step by steps on how to root pretty much every phone, roms will require you have a new radio or spl, these can be a little more risque to do as opposed to flashing a rom and calling it done, again unlockr will have tutorials on how to do that as well.
Good luck and i hope this helps.

And what's this nonsense about not flashing in fastboot? Last I checked, flashing roms was **THE THING** that fastboot does!!!

Have you considered he is very new to all of this an is not sure where to read? Or do you just immediately treat people that ask questions like this? If you do not want to help why even post?
@ op go to www.theunlockr.com they have video and written step by steps on how to root pretty much every phone, roms will require you have a new radio or spl, these can be a little more risque to do as opposed to flashing a rom and calling it done, again unlockr will have tutorials on how to do that as well.
Good luck and i hope this helps.

If he's "not sure what to read", then he needs to do further research. Why are we the bad guys when people just go barrelling though steps and when they realized they missed a step and now they have a fancy new paperweight, they freak out and ignore the rules of the Development section, which, if I remember correctly, is for development, and not for questions. There is a specific section for questions, aptly titled the Q&A section.

New N6 shipped with developer build?

Just bought a brand new N6 and its not downloading any ota's, still on 5.0. The build is LNX07M which is a developer build and apparently will not download any ota's. Has anyone heard of this? Did a quick Google search and there is hardly anything about this build.
I have no access to a computer, am I stuck on this build and 5.0?

This is my first nexus device and the last phone I rooted/flashed was the G1 way back in the day.
I was excited to get my phone today so this kind of sucks....

because its not "proper", and normally isnt used properly. but ill explaine to you the proper way. you can try an app called kingsroot. you csnt get it at the play store, youll have to search google for it. after you install it, then run it, youll have root. but, youre not done yet. you will want to download the latest twrp recovery for the nexus 6 with your phone and keep it there. then you will unstall flashify from the play store. you will now use flashify to flash the twrp recovery. now, last thing, to get your bootloader unlocked. you will install any bootloader unlock apps, like boot unlocker or similar(that might delete everything from your phone), then youre done. ive never tried this on a nexus, but have on other devices, just so you know.

If you can get to a computer, download this: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/shamu-mra58k-factory-5b07088c.tgz
It's the Marshmallow (6.0) factory image for the Nexus 6. Run the batch file inside and it'll flash your phone. Note that this WILL wipe it.
Here's the actual Google-supplied information on it: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en

It'll be fine. It's the complete system image, so it doesn't matter what you're on currently. Note that you will have to install all sorts of extra crap to get the Android SDK installed and working and the proper drivers, but it's not that hard, just gigs of downloads when everything is all said and done.
Like I said, it WILL wipe your phone completely.

if you can get to a computer..
you can unlock your bootloader with "fastboot oem unlock"
then fastboot flash twrp recovery
then flash a custom kernel wiyh the latest supersu in your new recovery.
and then boot up with root, an unlocked bootloader, and a custom recovery

Not worried about wiping the phone, I've literally only had it for a few hours and nothing is loaded on it.
Would be possible to just install an ota to get me on the right upgrade path? I'm just trying to do the quickest and easiest method possible.

If it's not grabbing an OTA, not sure what else you can do, short of downloading all the OTAs and flashing via recovery. But no guarantee that'll work as you're on a development build... There probably isn't an OTA to go from your development build to a release build.

Dude, come on... I know this is the Q&A section, and were supposed to be nicer here... But this lazyness is bull****.
You act like using a computer is impossible, then as soon as it takes some work.... You can get at one the next day?
Stop expecting to be spoon fed and at least try to learn something fist. There are a TON of write ups on how to do this. You spend how much money on a phone, and now you don't care to educate yourself on it?
Instead of expecting other to do all the work for you, read through the stickied index thread in the general section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/nexus-6-index-thread-t3229412
It has a newbie guide that literally holds your hand through the whole process. Post 2 has info on "how to flash factory images", use method 2 as method 1 in that thread will not work with the MM factory image.
Nice people have already spend a lot of time and effort documenting these things for you, as they are common questions. People like Simms and the other posters in this thread answer questions and offer support for free out of the kindness of their heart... Don't create extra work for them by ignoring all the effort already put out by other members, expecting it all to be regurgitated to you.

Fastboot, as described in the threads mentioned above, will completely overwrite the pertinent partitions, regardless of what was there... dev build or not. No need to flash and apply countless incremental updates. Google provides not only full system images, but the information to use them on their web page...

I linked him to that already. No need to be a **** about it. He was looking for an easy way to do it now, when he doesn't have a computer. **** got crazy, so he asked if it would be easier with a computer, which the answer is yes.
Wouldn't you be excited as **** if you had a new phone? Wouldn't you want to get it up and running as quickly as possible? Well... now he's gotta wait until he has a computer. Obviously installing an OTA and doing the incremental updates would be easier, which is what he was looking for. Since that's not an option, we laid out other ways to go about doing it. So he's getting to a computer tomorrow.

No problem man. I wish you luck!
If you do plan on modding it/rooting it/romming it in the future, DEFINITELY unlock your bootloader before you set up the phone or that'll wipe it, too.

You act like I was born with a nexus 6... It was a new phone to me too.

He googled his build number and didn't get many hits on it. So he's asking if there's a way to get it up and running tonight without a computer. Seems valid to me. You jump into the thread offering no help at all and start talking **** about the guy. That's the exact opposite of what you're saying you strive to do. I don't get it.

At that point its a legitamate question. This is a very different situation that is not well covered here, and requires a unique solution not many would come up with.
But "I absolutely have no computer nor laptop access" is pretty different then "I can access one TOMORROW. Sheesh, having something 1 day away is pretty far from it not being a possibility.
And I think you would agree it would be a significantly better idea to wait that day then to proceed with the method you gave (not that it was bad of you to give it... but you tried to differentiate and he held out to avoid being told to do it the hard way)

We are told time and time again that their are no bad questions. Truth is there are more bad questions then good ones.
Him asking about a build that provides few google hits is very legitimate.
Him asking about doing it without a computer because he doesn't have one is legitimate.
It only becomes an issue when he doesn't get the answer he wants, and all of a sudden he does have computer access.
And given that he is going to proceed in a computer... It becomes nothing more then "How do I update my phone?", which is VERY well documented.
I not only gave him the link to the information he needed, AND even corrected the information pointing out that the flashall script fails and that he would need to use the second method listed in the instructions I linked him to (since I know he will likely have limited time to fail and figure out whats wrong)
"That's the exact opposite of what you're saying you strive to do. I don't get it."
Then let me explain.
Would you skip your homework, ignore your textbook, then show up to class asking your teacher to explain it again? We are here to help... but how or why should I care more about it then he does? With no attempt made to learn, how much should I care to teach him?
Its a pretty big **** you to all those who have spend countless hours documenting this stuff to help new people to ignore their work and tell someone to do it again.
