G1 Hero flash strange problems

Alright there are a few people with the exact same problem as I, vr24 is one that can attest..
Basically I flashed JacHero2.63slowSD and it worked, but after flashing to another hero build (non slow sd), it would get to the screen unlock.. but when i pull that screen down all I see is a loading HTC screen. It never goes beyond that!
I have two seperate SD cards that were retabled, formatted, and set up using parted from cynorecovery 1.3.1. Both of them with full wipes and reflashes with any Hero build give me the same problem. Any non hero build works fine. The only big whoops I can remember is that I downloaded and used swapper even though i had it automatically set up?
I reflashed the phone all the way back to fresh start with dreaimg.nbh to rc29, rerooted, and installed everything properly and still have the same problems.
When trying jachero 2.5 i can at least get a root access request for swapper, which i deny. Anyone have any experience with this?

nope :[ just stuck at htc screen. i can hit end phone call to go to screen lock again, but when i pull it down back to htc screen

I would recommend then reformatting your SD card. Hero stores weird things on the SD card and can sometimes cause problems even between Hero builds (like in your case.) See if that works for you :]

does anyone think thtis could be because of an improper flash or when i activated swapper (even though swapper was automatic on jachero doh), it wrote some corrupted files in some god forsaken place that they cant write to now?
and if so, how would i wipe it clean? i reflashed to rc29 nbut im not sure i f that did the whole job

how to flash a new room to an already rooted phone?

Hi
I have flashed my G1 T-mobile following the the one-click process in here! i have now root access. The ROM is CyanogenMod-3.9.11.2
After all that i bought a trascend SDcard 8GB class 6, formatted about 600MB to EXT4 using gparted on a live cd, winxp and my G1.
The first thing i noticed is that the phone is slower to load up. it stays about 35secs on the G1 logo and then move to android for a total of about 1min to be ready.
Second thing my free space on internal memory went from 38MB to 68MB, i believe somehow the phone moved the cache on the sdcard...if i install new programs they get installed on the phone memory as far as i understand...however i could be wrong on this. i never started the phone without sdcard since, I'm not sure if this could damage the phone in some way.
I would like to have some feedback on this (the slow boot and memory thing) if someone has experienced a similar situation.
I'm thinking to flash my phone again and move to a stable version of Cyanogen so that i can use app2Sd and Cyanogen updater!!
- how can i flash a new room, considering that i have the latest radio but not HARDspl. (as far as i understand the oneclick method doesn't change the SPL)
I was looking at using again the small oneclick software and flash the Cyanogen 4.0 this time, would that make sense since i have already root access on the phone?
thank you for the help
kirk
update
After installing and unistalling few softwares i found out that all programs are actually on the SDcard however the Mobile uses still the internal memory for the cache. This doesn't bother me for now since i still have about 68MB free. Basically if you install CyanogenMod and you don't have a partitioned SDcard all software get installed on the internal memory however as soon as you put in an partioned card all programs get transfered automatically after the first boot. At least this is what happen to me. Somehow i got what i wanted and because of this i don't need to flash my phone anymore... maybe I'll flash it again when android 2 is out, if i don't have to change spl, image recovery or anythingelse too risky

I used the 1-click method as well, and I just download the latest cyanogen rom, rename it to update, boot into cm-recovery and apply the update.

One more thing, the latest versions of Cyanogen's rom have auto apps2sd built into the rom. It will automatically move all apps to the sd card as long as you have an ext2/ext3/ext4 partition on your sd card.

Your still going to have the same boot time. It's still going to take awhile to boot, just because you have a custom rom doesn't mean it will boot faster. And to load a new rom either rename to update.zip and update or if you have the newest recovery then you can just flash whatever rom without renaming because you can flash any .zip file.

In reading your post I think you said you wanted to use the small 1 click software to download cm4.0 You are done rooting your phone you no longer need to use the 1 click software.
Just copy new rom (cm4.0.4) to sd card
unplug phone from computer
turn off phone
boot into recovery (home and power at the same time)
flash new rom

when you use one root, it flashes cm-recovery 1.4 so there is no need to rename, just put on the root of your sd and flash from recovery

Are you aware of any reason for the slow boot after partition of the sdcard??

is it the stock 1GB sdcard?

Cause it has to read from the sd during boot up and it has to run the script for the apps2sd

As far as i know i'm not using app2sd yet. I partitioned my SDcard ONLY after i flashed my phone. however like i said i think the phone is somehow using the ext4 partition for something.
You reckon this would be a normal boot time i mean it takes between 50secs and 1.05 min to be ready. Phone is stable as far as i can tell.

I myself am not concerned with the boot time, the ext4 is another filesystem that it has to read and recongize, you basicly have a little mini computer in your hands so how long does your pc take to load up, there are many files and system checks that it has to go through starting up not to mention all the settings and components it has to turn on
Bottom line, if you want something to boot up quickly than get a basic phone because there is a very good way to speed up a mini computer to do the same

Well i'm aware of all this and i'm not concerned too much about the boot time. I'm only trying to gather information and learn a bit more from other ppl experiences. I come from windows mobile and android OS is all new world for me.
have you a similar configuration to my G1? Do you run app2sd? is yor boot time similar to mine??

Just a quick question for future reference...
do i need to put Cyanogen recovery image on the root of the sd card when i boot into recovery mode?
thank you
Kirk

Why did you root your phone? You have no desire to search to even do one of the most well documented things to your phone in these forums. What you need to do is take a DREAIMG.nbh file and put it in the root of your sdcard (or in no folders), then open up terminal emulator and type su then reboot bootloader once that happens wait for it to flash that image. Then you will have the most pimping room on your phone. Also you have amazing boot times. Everything you want.

Hi David
I had specific reason to root 2 different G1 and this is not to play with it or try a new ROM or even experiment new things. I may change my ROM again when a major relase is out (i.e. Android 2 if it has something that i need)
Going back to reflashing the phone.
You now suggest me to use DREAIMG.nbh which is actually mentioned on the guide "hoe to downgrade-root-flash your phone" here
....am I missing something here?? thank you for taking the time to reply anyway.
..I have read quite a bit on this forum and i decided to use the one-click method (because is the quickest and safiest one). I thought reflashing should be as easy. go in safe mode wipe and reflash it. Anyway for my nature i tend to ask/investigate one thing before go and actually do it. My questions are:
- if i press home power right now, considering that i have nothing on my sdcard would it take me to the safemode screen?
- Consequently do i need to have Cyanogen image revovery together with the ROM on my sd card in order to flash a new version of CyanogenMod?
Thank you
Kirk

you can boot into recovery at any time by pressing home and power when the phone is powered down. it will go into recovery no matter what is on the sdcard.
Also the recovery image you have on your phone does not determine what rom you can flash.

wow... i am at a loss for words...... do you even know why you did any of the things you did? did you even read the release notes for cyan's rom's? ALL OF THE ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS ARE THERE...
if you have an ext partition on your sd card....it WILL AUTOMATICALLY be used for apps2sd with 80%-90% of the ROM's out there today... ITS IN ALL OF THE ROMS' CHANGE LOGS/RELEASE NOTES

if you didnt root to try a new rom or experiment with new things, your better off with the stock firmware...which is why david suggested you flash DREAIMG.nbh

going into safemode wont flash anything.... i suggest you search and find out what exactly safemode is, especially since there was a thread only a few threads below yours detailing it.
All you need to flash a new ROM is the rom on your sd card and a working recovery, as well as anything that the ROM your installing has required which are noted in the changelog/release notes....
nothing else is needed on your SD card, except maybe specific partitioning, which will be noted in the ROM's requirements.
I try to help out here as much as i can when i have time (most of my posts are in Q&A helping out people) but it seems as though no one even bothers to look at the actual forums anymore. They just create an account, create a thread, bug people till a simple question is answered, and disappear forever.....
I came to this site simply to get roms, but i stayed because there was so much to learn and i created an account to help out people as well...i did all of my major modifications without asking any questions....all the questions are already answered somewhere...
i understand its hard to go through all the clutter, but it is starting to look as if no one even cares anymore

@B-man007 i am starting to feel like you do, i had my phone rooted and all that good stuff at least a month before i made an account just to download something uploaded to the forum. I wish i could see how many post i have in a ceratin forum bc i imagine at least 450 or 500 of them would be in this one helping people. Its getting to the point where i no longer care to help people and i thought i had a lot of patience. I porbably do but people are sinking to new lows with the questions they ask...

I think I have maybe 5 posts in dev, most of my posts are q&a and general, but then again half of those posts are from hijacking threads. I just got tired of answering the same questions over and over and over

Just flashed cognition and com.android.phone crashes constantly

Well I just got my cappy today. I decided to install froyo, I went with cognition.
So i rooted, installed Rom manager, backed up. Installed Titanium backup. Backed up everything i didn't knew what it was. Installed cognition.
After this when it loaded it keeps giving me this error constantly and lagging the phone. Since its my first android phone I'm not sure what to do. I didn't restored anything with Titanium, though I'm not sure if this program does this automatically...
I cleared user data and cache and the error persists.
I'm currently on Ubuntu on my pc so odin is not an option. So I want to have the phone working fast, preferrably with froyo, should i download another rom and reflash with rom manager? Any ideas on what I've done wrong or why the error is displayed?
I'm very thankfull for any sort of help, premature answers are more than welcomed

Either try to get odin to work with ubuntu... Wine?
Find someone with windows PC and odin.
Dual boot xp / 7 and do it yourself

First this is NOT the area for questions per se this is for DEVELOPMENT.
I suggest you try in the General or Q&A section or in this case the Cognition thread since that is the one having issues for you.
Without ODIN I cannot recommend anything so I suggest you try the Cognition thread amigo.
Regards

Just removed my simcard and the error stopped
Does this mean the phone is no longer unlocked?
I bought the phone unlocked so I'm not sure how to restore it to the way it was. Should the unlock code still be somewhere over my phone internal memory? Any quick ideas on how to do this? Or should i look into the whole unlocking post on froyo?

Check out this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778609. It involves setting up a VM(virtual machine) but that is a very easy task. I hope you find this helpful. But do not flash over Cog. You need to use Odin, flash back to stock, do a master clear and then re-flash Cog via CWM.

You prob's flashed Cognition right after the reboot forced by ClockworkRecovery, so the media scan wasn't completed, phone freaked and just lost most of its powarrrr.
Oh yeah: wrong subforum...

That sounds logic. Any ideas on what should I do so I can make the phone stop giving me this error with my simcard inside?

btw i dont know if this has anything to do but with my simcard inside i noticed 2 things
First it gets gsm signal crashes, looses the signal, regains it and this loops over and over.
After this i also noticed one service restarts over and over when this happens

This happened to me once, so I went back into recovery and used CM to reflash. My files were still on the root of the internal SD card, so I figured I'd give it a shot. It worked for me - cleared up my FC problems.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what do you mean by using CM to reflash? When i boot into recovery i only have three options:
reinstall
clear user data
clear cache

Select reinstall - hopefully it will launch the CM recovery mode. Then you can select to install from the SD card.

Just reinstalled cognition but it still has the same problem. Should i download the i9000 reoriented and try with that one to see if by any chance...?

Did you try reflashing with sim card out? Maybe a master clear would help too?

Yes the last time i tried with the simcard out. I'm guessing the phone is still unlocked, a master clear woudn't change this? If anyone can confirm this I'll try it asap.
I'm downloading as well Doc's rom 7.5 to try reflashing that instead, I can do that or I have to downgrade and then reflash?

How did you do it? I tried reinstalling without sim card and it did not work.

I had the same problem, so I reflashed to factory /w Odin and made sure to wipe cache and data, and it worked without a hitch.

I think the problem could be that your unlock code was deleted. When you flashed. If you can not use odin try this, find the jh7 ota update. I think you can get it from the cognition download page. Flash this it will bring you back to a 2. 1 Rom. Read up on how to unlock your phone. Unlock then copy the unlock code. Then flash cognition again and follow steps to unlock.
If you are on the newest cog make sure you disable the voodoo lagfix prior to flashing. I can not guarantee this will work but it is worth a go. If you created a nandroid prior to flashing once you are on jh7 you should be able to restore

[Q] HELP! error message in recovery

So, kinda a long story, sorry. So to start off I obviously have a nexus one, I was running CM6.1 RC1 with some themes and blah blah. But the other day I decided to try out Rodriguez's MIUI rom, so I dl that, put it on my phone, booted into recovery made a nandroid backup of the CM6.1 I was running, and then wiped and installed the MIUI. I booted up and everything was running fine and when I remembered I forgot to backup my apps and data I figured I would just make a backup of the MIUI, wipe, restore the CM, backup what I needed and go back to the MIUI. But when I went to make a backup of the MIUI I got this message "error: run nandroid-mobile.sh recovery via adb." So when I got that message I just decided to forget the MIUI and just recover the CM. But when I tried doing that, I got the same message. Luckily I still had the MIUI.zip in my phone so I just re-installed that for my current rom while I try to figure this out. I researched a little online and thought it might have been that my battery was too low, so I charged it and no luck. Then I thought my sd card was too full so I cleaned it up and tried again, this time the backup of the MIUI worked, but when I wiped and tried to restore my original CM, I got the same message. So FINALLY, I thought that I would just re-install CM6.1 and take the MIUI off my phone completely and then try. But yet again, same message. So Im pretty stumped and would be very grateful for some help. Sorry for the novel, but I figured I would write all my steps so I didnt have to answer as many questions in future replies.

Nook ver 1.2 and 1.3 can't upgrade after downgrade

When I bought this Nook a few months back it was shipped with v 1.2. Now that I have messed it up and recovered it I'm on 1.0.1. Is there a way to get back to 1.2?
Also now my Nook says I have no storage. I have no books downloaded, it's just after the factory reset.

It says there is no storage because you are not on 1.2 or above. Just update manually through BN.

Thanks for the reply. My problem is now that when I connect the Nook to the computer (linux Ubuntu), two drives show up both named B&N eReader. Neither can be opened. I suspect it's due to the fact that it shows no storage. How do I go about upgrading through B&N?
Maybe I have to use Windows? The 1.2 version before I started tinkering was recognised by Ubuntu Linux. Any help so I don't get murdered by my 9 year old for breaking her Nook is appreciated.

So are you on 1.2 now? Try making a bootable clockwork card and flashing this.

It would help us more if we knew what you did/tried to do when messing it up... was it one of the "restore nook to stock" cwr images you used?
Try using the 8 failed boot attempts.... if you haven't messed up your recovery partition it should restore you to the version that was originally installed on your NC.
To help troubleshoot and fix it is really helpful to tell us what happened... you could also try using the cwr restore to stock 1.2 or the cwr update to 1.2 or 1.3 files.

Thanks for your reply DizzyDen. As I mentioned in the post before yours, I think I'm all OK now. I had made a bootable CM7 sd card to have stock/CM7 (without and with SD) but somehow had CWR installed on the emmc.
Then trying to upgrade to 1.3 from their website, I was not allowed. So what I had to do was to make a bootable CWR sd card, boot from the sd card and remove the CWR from emmc (used a flashable zip found on forums) and then flash a 1.0.1 image. Then I used the 1.2 update from the above link to update to 1.2 and then used the 1.3 from B&N website to upgrade to 1.3. Now I'm where I want to be but thinking about rooting again It's too much excitement but didn't have to be.
I think I must have tried to flash CWR recovery with the ROM Manager app when I had the CM7 bootable sd card in that caused all these problems. It's nice to have the bootable CWR though.

The Phiremod7.1 which is based on CM7 seems to be working fine now but I can't get any CM7 nightlys to show any soft keys at the bottom, hence no back or notification bars. I'm going to try a stable one to see if that maybe the problem. Funny that I was able to run the nightlies when I was off of SD.
Also while I have your ear, , I'm a bit confused about this wiping and rooting business with the nook. I'd appreciate any help for me to understand it a litlle better. Excuse my ignorance.
Why can't a complete wipe be performed when booted from a CWM sd card? In the numerous phones I have rooted the sequence is easy: root, install custom recovery, nandroid back up, wipe data/system/cache/dalvik and then install a new rom. In the nook,, I still get residual from the last rom (my wifi settings, wallpaper, B&N registration info) unless I do the 8 reboot sequence. What does the 8 reboot wipe that we can't wipe any other way? What does emmc format accomplish then?
Also, how is it that I can install a rom through an SD card without ever rooting the nook?
TIA

I have only recently noticed the remnant effect of previous data... I suspect it has something to do with B&N's newest software effecting the ability to wipe the partitions... perhaps formatting the partitions first would assist.
The 8 failed boots completely re-initializes the Nook with the factory backup data stored on mmcblk0p3... there is the complete rom and device specific backup stored in zip files there.
You can install a ROM by booting off the SD because B&N set our nooks up to boot from SD first... so when you do nothing from the Internal storage is loaded upon boot... so its not in use and can easily be manipulated.
