Problem with any rom other than JF 1.5/1.51 US

It seems that I can't get a clean boot off anything other than the JF 1.5 or 1.51 US builds. I've tried cyanogen and even jf 1.51/1.5 ADP builds but it always boot loops. Any suggestions?
I've read through the questions threads, I've used search. I just can't seem to find anything relevant to my problem in specific. I've flashed to hardspl, I've updated the radio, tried various builds of the same developer to see what it could possibly be, but I'm pretty stumped.

Hmmmm... try re-flashing RC29, re-root, and try the update again... sounds like its not updating correctly

Tried that multiple times over the last few days. this time, I managed to get past a straight reboot loop, but I was stuck at the boot screen with sounds/alerts/sleepbutton as if I had changed my launcher.apk with a file from the wrong rom. Going to reflash to 29 again and try it again =P
As many times as I go through this long (well, not quite) and arduous (heh, sure) process, it's still fun
*edit* out of curiosity, how extensive are nandroid backups? I've tried some flashes using a nandroid restore from an rc29 with the OTA radio and cyanogen's restore img. Would that reflash me back to prior settings?
//Note not all of my installs are with nandroid restores. I have tried with pure fresh dreaimg.nbh/root/hardspl/radio installs.

hmmm, have you tried flashing the new recovery? Try Cyan's 1.3.1 Recovery Image, might work a little better.

just reboot looped again. order of operations for a freshie should be something like this;
1)dreaimg.nbh
2)root
3)cyan's recovery
4)ota radio
5)JF 1.51 ADP
correct?
*edit* in all honesty, I want to try cyan's newest build but if I can't even get past installing JF's ADP build... ya...

No... you're missing HardSPL between root and cyan's recovery.

lol, just did some more searching, and realized that I was misunderstanding what hardspl actually did for me. It was my understanding that Cyan's recovery img replaced hardspl (don't ask me how I got it mixed up, I just did, ok? xD). I just got into rooting my G1 recently, if you haven't noticed.
Thank you for your timely reply's and hopefully this helps me dive into what I was missing out on

Sorry for the double post but the issue isn't resolved.
the problem is persistant. even with hardspl in (could have sworn I had that in at some point anyway) I still can't use the ADP or cyan's latest

Did you perform a wipe before flashing ROMs? Not wiping may cause some boot loops with certain mods.

I've done a full wipe back to dreaimg.nbh (assuming that's what you mean). I've gone back to step 1 of the root process. Still no go

You should go ahead and wipe before all of the builds when your starting up. I believe DREAIMG.nbh is a US based rom, and the JF you are installing is ADP. You MUST wipe when switching from US based ROM to an ADP based ROM

im having the exact same problem i was able to get a rom other than the JF installed, i have tryed every damn way possible and mine will not work either. i use the Haykuro 1.5 Cupcake one, and it seems to work. My phone gets stuck whenever i try to load any hero, or Cynanogen roms. Its depressing, yeah fun at first but now i look at posts and cry hahahahha when these people have theres all bad ass! SOMEONE HELP USSS! email me at [email protected] if needed pleeeease i need HERO!

root, wipe, flash JF, wipe, update radio, wipe, update recovery image, wipe, flash whatever ROM you want.
Did you try that?

Unable to flash Anything else

i have done quite a few searches on this and yet have found nothing so i hope i dont get reamed for posting this.
if someone has a link for this answer id be very thankful.
if not then PLEASE SOMEONE EXPLAIN!!!!!!!
at the moment i am running drizzy hero rom. to do the update i did use the one touch root. on a second phone i did it manually. on both i added the hard spl and am running the RA v 1.2.1 recovery. I liked this ROM and wanted to see what bugs it had. after a few days i wanted to switch and try a different ROM I have dl most of the ROMs available and already have them on my sdcard once i did this no ROM would load except for Drizzy(new Vision v2.8). after trying a few things and accomplishing nothing i decided to redo EVERYTHING. unrooted my phone rooted again applied recovery made sure radio was to date and spl. and still nothing i cant even run the original jf1.5 that i was using before deciding to port. this issue is occuring on both phones. 1st phone was again done with one step root and the 2nd phone was done completly manually. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to try these other roms SO PLEASE SOMEONE HELP. if you need more information on what i did with these phones ill gladly tell you step by step on what i did.
sorry for that.
I was using my G1 and also had a friends. On my g1 i used the one step root. I used the Instructions from The Unlocker.com. It uses flashrec.apk and also Amon Ra's recovery image. After that i went over to the How to Load a Custom ROM. same site. It asks you to check the Radio and the Spl. The radio is 2.22.19.26I and the spl used was the HARDSPL 1.33.2005.
Once i finished that i went and formated the sdcard to Fat32+Ext2+LinuxSwap also converted Ext2 to Ext3.Then I did-Move Dalvik Cache to SD. last 3 steps to speed up hero. after all of that I loaded 4 ROMS CyanogenMod ROM, jACXHeroSkiv Hero ROM v1.8, Drizzy’s NewVision TouchFlo ROM, and JF v1.5 Cupcake ROM. I have only flashed Drizzy's until last night.
I was unable to flash any other one and when i flashed back to drizzy I had problems loading it back but eventually loaded fully the issue was running the startup wizard it kept crashing. after a reboot it was ok.

Give us step by step on what you did and USE PARAGRAPHS
that whole thing looked like mumbo jumbo to me
put new lines where they belong to help separate out the steps you took

FIXED! thanks!

did you do a data wipe? you need to wipe going from hero to cupcake/donut

When I first did all of that I did. Am I supposed to data wipe everytime I switch the Rom?

when your using hero rom's, yes.
if your upgrading cupcake roms (ie cyan 4.0.4 to 4.1.9.2 ), no
If its not working, WIPE
you cant go from hero to cupcake without wiping and not expect a lot of problems. they cause too many issues.
hero roms use the data partition differently

also remember to wipe /system/sd/ to clear all of that out. pull your /system/sd/ to your computer first though

thanks you guys it helped alot

G1 Won't run Cyanogen 4.04+

Dear XDA devs and readers,
After rooting my G1 with the RC8 rom and the hardSPL + latest Radio 2.26I
my phone wont go past the G1 startup screen after flashing higher version of cyanogen 4.04. happily ive done a nandroid backup with the standard ROOTED ROM.
i redone the procedure with set factory default dreamNBH.img and the wipe functions.
it have worked before with cyanogen 4.2! after installing TMO custom the problems begun.
Edit: things i tried:
reset to default wit the DREAMNBH
Wipe/factory
reflash different versions
changed SDCARD (htc gold)

I think this is in the wrong section so i will crosspost this one

Help with Cyanogen and modding

Ok, i have a need for a bit of help. I rooted and flashed to Jesusfreaks adp. I tried to get it to RC33. LONG story short, JF is installed. My kernel is 2.6.27-00392-g8312baf
NO clue what that means but im at fireware 1.5 and Build number CRB43
I want to get to Cyanogen. It looks a little smoother then JF and more frequently update. BTWi have a G1
I followed this guide TO THE T!
simplehelp.net/2009/10/04/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-4-1-99-on-your-g1-android-phone/
and after i rebooted, it took forever to boot (which is usual)
All my apps crashed. My desktop didnt even load. It had force closes like *android.phone and *android.mail
I figured it was because i was trying to mod off of the Jesus freak setup. Can anyone help me out and tell me how to either COMPLETELY wipe my phone and restore it to its origional G1 official build and then i can re-root to Cyanogen OR a way to mod from Jesusfreak to Cyanogen

copy and paste this into your browser... follow the directions...
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod[/url]

Just read that guide over and thats all exactly what i already did. I have tried to signed-dream flash and then after taht the cyan mod. It installed the OS no problem. It just didnt have any programs working. IT is as if the phone had the OS but no program files. It wouldnt even load the phone at all. it was a black screen with a status bar and infinate force close screens. Any idea what that is a result of? I had to flash recover back to my JF os

Try this:
1. Flash recovery Amon_Ra (Great improvment on JF and Cyans recovery)
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
select console from the menu
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img
2. Boot into recovery (Home+Power)
3. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
4. Wipe EXT
5. Repair EXT
6. Flash Super D (I suggest Super D only because there is less flashing involved and it's a great improvement on the Cyan roms.. super quick too)
From here you should be set.

so if i already have root and all that, do i still need to follow step 1? Like flash with Amon_Ra? or can i just wipe, and reload the D rom? also your rom says its myHero2.2? is that a good rom? Im just trying to find the best rom to use on a g1. I have read up on Jesusfreak, its very stable, but it is pretty much just a open version of the regular tmobile os. THe only difference is the apps store is an older version. In your opinion, what is the best G1 rom and what are its percs?
thanks for all your help. This has been a working progress haha, finding a good rom and sticking with it. and can you give me a list of all the files needed for the best rom? if they have a step by step guide to it, thatd be great! i would look myself, but im still new at all this and there are like a bajillion different roms/ ways to load the rom. Im a PSP hacker, not an experienced phone guru

I would just so you're current on your recovery. The updated recovery has added features compared to JF's recovery

I would load the new recovery and then flash Super D. Again it's the most stable and is wicked fast. Yeah used to use myHero2.2 but i haven't updated my sig in a while. It's getting mundane at this point.

This is going to be more of a difficult question to answer. It just depends on what you're after. I really prefer Super D because of it's speed. Again its built from the Cyan roms so you get Cyan + extras. That's what I would go with. Simple, easy, and fast.

Well that's the cool part about the community here at XDA. All the files are set up for you. To flash a rom:
Code:
Download the .zip file and place it on the root of your sd card
Reboot into recovery
Make a backup (i prefer switchrom)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe EXT
Repair EXT
Flash rom from .zip
Reboot.
It's that easy.

[Q] Flashing SuperBad CM5 V.1.7 Question?

Right now I'm running Cyanogen's 5.0.8 ROM. When flashing to SuperBad CM5 V.1.7 (which is based on CM 5.0.8) do I still need to wipe? If so do I wipe data/factory settings, battery stats, delvik, ext.? I have a theme called Slide Blue (which is made for 5.0.8), will that work as well or is there even a need for it? And finally when I go to Android Spin to look at this ROM to download, it only gives me one link to download, so does that ROM also contain Google Apps? I have only flashed one ROM and Im still a noob in the learning process.

Make a nandroid. Flash without wiping, then fix apk uid mismatches in recovery and then reboot. wait 10-15 minutes.
If it works then congrats. If it doesn't either restore the backup or wipe.

Like I said, I'm still pretty new to this
So I don't understand when you said to fix the apk in recovery?
