Help wanted

Im a bit of a newbie to this but i know a thing or two and im not daft! My mda vario crashed so i redid the rom and it crashed half way through taking me to boot mode.
I took maybe 30attempts at reloading the rom as everytime i did it crashed half way through! Eventually i got a fresh mda offical rom on to it and it started first time but then crashed the second time i turned it on.now once in a while it starts properly but will crash for no reason all the time! Ive tried reflashing the rom again and im stuck at boot mode once again!
Ive taken the advice of many of your post's
Ive tried new wires,differnt roms, firewalls off,internet off,active sync on,active sync uninstalled everything and still it wont upload the full rom.
Im a bit lost and this is my final attempt as ive spent too many hours messing around. by the way its a G3.
ANY ADVICE is so so so welcome as im about to never own a pocket pc style phone again. thanks alot anyone who reads all this and anyone that can help!
Do you have an SD card in it? If you do, try taking it out because it can cause problems sometimes when flashing. If your Sd card has problems it may be why you keep crashing when you do get a ROM on there also. I've read that taking the sim card out may also help.
I took the sd card out,and yeh it did seem there was little or no difference when a simcard was in or out. At present its stuck on boot menu again and im wondering what is the best rom to try? im pretty sure the phone is completely unlocked as it had wm6 on it when i got it. thanks again

Hum... by having WM6 is doesn't really mean its unlocked... they could have flashed it using ShellTools.
As I understood it, even if you flash an official ROM, the PDA doesn't work properly, hanging right?
If so, I'm afraid your Wizard might be dying - faulty ROM memory...

Google Partner Setup Force Close

I've searched around a bit, and found some people with this problem, and some talk on how to fix it, but I couldn't find a definitive thread or post about what to do to fix it, could anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Also, one more little question, I tried to flash new SPL on my G1, wiped, etc. and when I rebooted when I tried to sign in during set up, it said something about not having data services, I was wondering if that had something to do with this force close ( which I got when I booted then as well ) or am I an idiot, and I have to re-do all the steps in the root process to get a new hard SPL?
Thanks for any help!
Edit: Also, could someone point me in the direction of a good SPL to use? Or whichever one first comes to mind when you hear SPL for the G1? Thanks

to fix the FC you could try wiping the regular stuff and if it still doesnt work wipe your ext* partition ... also for the SPLs use either HardSPL or the 'Danger' SPL ... be extremely careful with the Danger SPL as there are certain prerequisites so you don't get bricked
Thanks for the reply, what are the prerequisites for the danger SPL, and is it any better than the hard SPL?
Edit: Wiped everything, same force close on startup, but this time it logged in/setup just fine
Also; looking into haykuru's SPL ( For that fancy lookin' jestur blur ROM ), and from the things I'm reading it's very risky ( I have the 26I radio and what not ) is there any forum that has a nice tutorial? Such as the one for rooting? If so, a link would be greatly appreciated, I've been fishing around for about an hour, best I can come up with is what I think is haykuru's SPL, but I really don't even know, haha, sorry I'm being such a nuisance
I have the same fc problem and have done the same wipe so if anyone else can help us please do
I pretty much fixed it, unfortunately I moved from cyanogen to a Hero ROM, after flashing haykuro's SPL, wiping, and re-doing my entire SD card, no force closes, and a nice hero running at full speed.
For you steve, just try re-doing your ext partiton on your SD card, wiping, and re-flashing cyanogens mod, and that pretty much worked for me the first time.
Hope I helped someone
Nice one cheers mate I will give it a try. Is the hero better than cyan then?
Right so I have tried everything from wipe ext 2, to formatting memory card and reinstalling cyan, I believe I have tried everything please help!!!!!

Rooted? Which rom? Did it work before? When did you start having problems?
Can't help you without knowing that but at the very least try re-flashing your current rom without wiping and see if that helps.
ah yeah sorry, right im using cyanogen and i am rooted and the trouble seem to have came when i done a cyan update a while back but when i tried to reflash the old update using cm updater it didnt fix the problem, i have just tried reflashing the 4.1.9999 update aswell to see if that would do it but it didnt :-( thanks for the reply and i do really appreciate your help
steve
Flash DRC83 base rom and flash CM rom of your choice after that. No wiping required, I don't think.
Nice one cheers I will try that ah 1 thing do I need a different base rom due to bein a uk phone?
Thanks again
I don't think so, at this point we're all running some kind of ADP roms which are not region specific. Roms I linked you to don't include recovery or radio so you will be OK. Do a nand back up always though. Good luck.
hi mate i tried the download and listed it on my sd as update but it wont instal? am i doin summin wrong?
anything i try to instal through update on sd card wont instal, just comes up with installation aborted?
Does it tell you why it's aborting the installation? Try to get a log.
it says E:cant open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory)
just tried formatting card then putting a fresh update file on it then triyn to flash 4.2.12.2 and got the same message again :-( in desperate need now
Can you boot up into your current rom? If so... go get Amon's 1.5.2 recovery from development forum and install that from terminal (directions are inside the thread)... sounds like you have old recovery. Once that's done... try again. Not a big deal, HTC's recovery is picky, Amon's is not.
I think that you're using Windows machine and it has "Hide extensions for known file types" checked so in reality your update.zip is update.zip.zip. Aron's recovery makes life a lot easier... you can just throw file on your sd and you don't even have to rename it.
hi mate i could boot into rom and was running amon ra recovery aswell which i agree is the nuts, i seem to have sorted the problem now, what i done was unrooted then re rooted again and im now recieving everything ok, thanks for your time and help mate
steve
forget what i just put as im tryin to put amon ra on my sd and its not havin it now, cant even reap upadte on sd card, wonder if its bricked?
ok so now i have thought i will try unrooting my phone but nothing will instal :-( getting really depressed now :-(

Ok, I find it hard to believe that someone can mess up that many times if they follow the directions. I just got a spare G1 and I rooted it with all the latest stuff within 15 minutes, with no ADB at that.
I can not help anyone who does not provide ANY details and ignores simplest grammar and punctuation rules (and BTW English is not my first language neither)
Follow Cyanogen's wiki TO THE LETTER and you will have no problems. If you can't follow Cyan's wiki - don't even attempt this, flash DREAIMG.nbh and let the phone update itself to stock donut.

ROM help

Hello all. new user here. Where to start where to start.
I consider myself an intermediate PC user and a noob with cellphones. I am a novice at Command prompt and ROM's and such.
Here's my problem..
I recently purchased the HTC Dream (Google G1) GSM Unlocked from America.
It came loaded with Android 2.1 on it.
I am trying to bypass the activation screen and cannot find anyone with a data SIM to fix the issue. So I've attempted to mod. Had some help with an advance PC user and he is also stumped.
I currently have no OS on the phone.
I have successfully rooted the phone, updated Hard SPL, and I originally had Radio version 1.22.12.29 and successfully updated it to 2.22.23.02
I have followed instructions to best of my knowledge and tried older and newer versions of Cyanogen mod. I get the error E: Can't find update-script installation aborted.
I have also tried a couple of other totally different ROMS..same issue.
I currently am running Hboot 1.33.2005
It's hard to find clear instructions on what exactly works for the phone. I don't want to brick it lol, I paid good money.
Please help I am a total noob I'll admit. If you could break down the terminology lol. thanks a million!
If u can get into recovery flash from a sd card
1 put your rom on the root of your sd card
2 pit card Into Phone
3 boot into recovery
4 wipe then flash rom
Reset your phone and see if it boots up
