Cyanogen to Hero

How do I switch to cyanogen rom to a hero rom properly?
Which hero rom do I choose? "Best rom"
If I do nandroid backup will my apps from my ext3 be restored?
Don't want to get rid of my apps
I've tried two different roms drizzy hero & JacxHero but on drizzy I get stuck on some htc smart mobilty screen and on Jacs I get stuck on boot loops please help just want to go back to hero for a little while

if you go from a AOSP rom to a hero rom you have to wipe your ext3 and phone. a nandroid will not restore your ext3 bc it only backs up your phone. there is a thread in the dev forum called want to run hero, read this first. i suggest searching for it and reading it.

Hmmm......How bout if I switch sd cards. As in having 1 card for the hero and then when I go back to an AOSP ROM use the card that has the partitions in em with apps

Bah! I've switched from Cyan to Jac several times in a day without wiping my ext
Btw, Scooty Puff junior ftw =P
Anyway, my advise is go for this ROM, and go for version 1.51, not 1.54, it's much faster. I didn't have to wipe my ext3 when using that ROM. The fact that Drizzy's builds required a clean ext is the reason I've never flashed any of his builds (amongst other thing, but lets not start a flame war)...

Thankx ! just the type of a reply I was looking for. Gonna install the ROM you reffered me to but I want a jac build and stay in boot loop. Should I just install 1.5.1 then wipe and install jacs?

Honestly I would just stick with 1.5.1. Ive used JACs latest hero build and many of the HERO2 builds and 1.5.1 was by far the best.

would you suggest just staying on 1.5.1 and not updating even to .2 or .3 (i know you said dont get 1.5.4)

Its impossible for me to install hero I've tried 3 and tried doing the 1.5.1 rom but I get stuck on the black screen. Please help me on how to install this perfectly from a cyanogen 4.1.11.1 rom

Believe me, this ROM is blazingly fast compared to 2.1jacheroskiv. 1.5.1 will stay on the black screen for a long time, but not 10 mintes, just wipe your ext
go to the recovery console:
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
rm -r /system/sd/*
wipe, reflash, reboot...

i use backup for root users backing up apps. It works for me. APPS ONLY though idk bout anything else. try that

omg no one mentions the switchrom.sh script?!?!
you all fail at Q&A
switchrom will backup your apps and dalvik cache and do a nandroid backup. search for it in the dev forum.

I flashed hero and it got onto screen perfectly but stays on htc logo
What's happening?
When I wiped ext3 it said resource or file something is busy....what does that mean?

Doesnt hero require 3 partitions... i mean, you have that done right?

Nahh I only have 2 but you don't really need swap....but I am going to repartition my card with linux swap later on this week but still I am stuck on htc screen after it boots up I can only acess lockscreen

I did this exactly
Clear dalvik cach
Clear ext3
Go back wipe
Fixed filesystem
Hero didn't work
Then I. Just cleared ext3
Wipe
Fixed filesystem
Hero booted up but stays on htc screen
And still said the resource thing is busy when I tried to clear ext3

It seems that with hero you are required to have all three partitions, whether you use them all or not... but I would recommend a 64mb partition and set linux-swap with 60 swappiness and it should be good...
EDIT: if you want your g1 to work until you repartition your SD, just stick with cyanogen...

if I partition my sd card with 64 mb swap would that do anything to cyanogen rom besides making it faster?

i have noticed no ill effects of it.

help!!!! i searched for hours and cant fix it

my phone is stuck in a reload state i put jac xreroskiv rom or what ever its called and its stuck it starts up but keep saying hero over and over any ideas. help please thanks in advance i had already installed hero and such was just trying this new rom. i tried other roms too but no dice. even the original hero rom i originally put on here.

You should probably make a post for help in the rom's forum that you're having problems with.
Also, it would help if you told them which G1 device you had, what radio/spl and stuff like that.
But with really no info from your post the only things I can think of is that you need to do wipe or reformat your sd card.

Most likely you just have to repart your ext partition. But more info would help.

i have radio-2.22.19.261 hboot-1.33.2005 dream32b i was able to restore it but now i cant install the rom . i tried again and got the same problem so i probably got the wrong radio for the rom i want which is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534479\

You have the right radio. Really there is only one radio. There's the 26I that we use and the old radio that is not used anymore. Do not flash the hero radio or you will brick your phone. Did you repartion your sd card so it's fresh?

yeah i used the home and end button and did the partition using the boot loader thingy. i ended the loop but now its like i bough the phone new with root make sense?

Not the least amount of sense to me, but if your phone is working ,then good. You had a bootloop which is usually solved by wiping your ext3 and phone.

maybe i have the wrong build? i had some ra build cant remember what it was called i reflashed to cyanogen 1.4 gonna try it when i get home

all you had to do was wipe ext3, you should do this when changing any hero build unless otherwise noted. be sure you are wiping the intern. memory as well ALT+W in ReCon. also, repair ext filesystems and flash again, hero roms take a while to boot so make sure you are patient.

okay ill try when i get off work. i have 1.33.2005
2.22.19.26I my build is cyanogen + jf 1.4 can i install the rom i discussed earlier using the method u talked about? it was slow when i installed it earlier anyway of making it faster kept loading.

i fixed it dont know how lol but i did. i think i just had the wrong build. close thread plz. thanks for all the help people.

I kept seeing you say you were trying to flash the cyanogen build 1.4. That is not a rom but the recovery. But glad its working now. Put [SOLVED] on your thread title.

HAI
I was noob too like you.
I know good ROM.
Try SuperBad. Latest of course.

I've always been a fan of CyanogenMod
i have tried others ROM's but i keep going back to CM
CM5.0.7-DS
read the instructions
download the files
read the instructions AGAIN
then flash
i made a mistake the 1st time i flashed it because i did not reboot after the SPL update...... phone just sat there at the G1 screen for 20 minutes before i rebooted it.... sometimes they take a while to boot the 1st time after flashing but not 20 min
went form CM4.2 to CM5.0.7-DS...... Love it

thanks for helps

Hi, my G1 is currently running MLIGN Hero 3.0, I believe I have DangerSPL installed, not sure about the radio (Does it matter what Radio I have for that ROM?)
Im not sure if my SD is partitioned though??
Please could you give me a bit of a guide here , its been along time since I flashed my G1,
I think the process is, Wipe Data, Dalvik cache, wipe ext partition, then format SD, then Partition SD? Then toggle USB and place 1.5.1 Superbad onto the SD, then flash it and hope all goes well??
Thanks!! I appreciate it!! (Sorry to hijack your thread OP)

Super E, absolutely

Stuck at g1 screen after 2.3.5 update!!!

Recently i tried to update my ROM to 2.3.5.. i got some verification error first and using clockworkmod recovery i got rid of that error.. now even after successful completion of the installation my phone is stuck at G1 screen.... any idea??

yeah usually that means you dont have required radio/spl for rom... can you still get into recovery mode?

Today weather forecast anounced sunny weather, but it's raining now. Any idea, why?

ok so that means its not briked lo thats good!!! so what rom are you trying to flash? and what radio and spl do you currently have? maybe the rom needs to be signed...

@ldrifta trying to flash cm-7.1.0-RC1-DS-signed and the radio version is 2.22.27.08 and spl is 1.33.0013d !! and inorder for the installation to complete i had to disable the verification..

well as far as i know, if the rom is signed you shouldn't need to disable the verification... but uhhh maybe your sd card...? did you set up swap and ext partitions?

Yep.. swap and ext3 partitions has been set correctly.. But without disabling the verification, the ROM would not get intalled.. some of the other users too came across this verification problem.. and one of the senior member of this forum had asked to disable the verifiation fromk clockworkmod recovery!! Reverting to 2.3.4 doesn't seem to cause any problem and its working like charm.. ..

hmmm im not sure than... if you have correct radio/spl and sd card is set up right than i im not sure why it wont work... try ext4 and just wiping everything on device before flashing..

Where are you getting this Cyanogenmod 7.1 ROM for G1...? There are ones BASED off of CM, like COS-DS... But as far as I know, CM 7 is not available for g1... They stopped support after CM 6. My guess is that the ROM just isn't compatible, so you are stuck at the boot screen. Try using Ginger Yoshi, or COS-DS. Both of those Gingerbread ROMS are pretty great.

Wierd

first i had valentine . Then i installed scoot cyanogen 7.1 . it worked fine .

OMG! Tell me exactly what kernel you have! It's very ****ing important for CM! Give me the link to the right thread with your kernel!!!!!!!!!!!

my kernel version is 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #285
and i dont exactly know the thread cuz i dloaded from sourceforge collection i think.
and please figure out something and tell me !!! :O

As a rule of thumb, I ALWAYS build a new kernel for EVERY install, not just download one and hope it works.
Kernels are build-dependent, meaning you shouldn't use one for both Froyo and Eclair or Donut.
ATools is your friend, especially now with the cache fix and better RIL implementation.

Well, with this kernel you can forget installing CM builds . You need latest kernel with cache partition.

Damn !! :O

Why? Just flash a new kernel.

Max, Here is the kernel I use, built for the Tilt.
500MHz, panel 2, Tilt, OC GPU and batt stat to 1500mah, EXT4 FS and either a 15 or 20mb cache partition, I don't remember.
I've never had an issue with this kernel... ever.
Just unzip (it's just a "store", non-compressed) and install via SD card or RUU.
Install it EVERY TIME you load another install, preferrably before installing.
Any issues should be posted here.

the phone cant be flashed by power+camera or same with reset button , so i was thinking that can i go to bootloader through MTTY or something else ?
If yes then do tell me :/

Are you saying the camera button doesn't work, or that the phone is stuck in OEMBL mode? (black screen)
If the second is the case, then this is a very touchy problem as I will NOT instruct anyone on how to use MTTY to recover a broken SPL.
If the camera button does work you can hold it and reset the phone with the attached kernel copied to the root of an SD card. Any of Oli's HardSPL's will work this way.
I almost forgot that you need to install an update to any older roms that allows for the /cache partition, download attached file and copy to andboot folder.
Do yourself a favor and KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING before EVER doing anything to the phone in MTTY! The MicroKernel on these phones is a tough egg to crack and even harder to fix once it is cracked.

okay , so i installed this update . now what exactly do i have to do?
and there's no black screen , but i ant go to bootloader so there must b a problem with the camera button :/
