[Q] rom manager won't flash cw or amon on g1

Hey guys I'm very new to all this, I just used the z4root (Permenent root) method on my g1 dream and I would like to try a new rom on it but for some reason rom manager will not flash clockwork mod recovery or amon on it, it keeps saying that an error has occured when trying to access special privileges or something like that. does is matter if I'm using the free version or not? and do I need to put a custome hboot or bootloader on the phone as well? I've been reading for the last two days through these forums and I'm really lost and confused on how to do this. I understand that I must flash the rom from the custom recovery but can I get to the recovery through the hboot/bootloader once the custom recovery is flashed? Please help anyone. I appreciate it.

Never used z4 so cant really help there but i do know that you need a custom recovery to flash anything. So the question is can you get a recovery flashed. Can you boot into the os and log in? if so maybe you can get a terminal from the market and flash amonra from there with the instructions in his op. Not sure but worth a try.

z4root dont work proplerly try unviersal androot

Cool, hey johnson8 I really appreciate your help...so you're saying that the z4root has something to do with my phone not being able to download three recovery?

It might. I rooted mine the one click method a long time ago. Before these apps came out. Never liked rom manager either to be honest. I would try the androot the other Guy suggested really. See how it goes

Go to ezterry thread on 14 MB hack and fastboot flash new amonra recovery the radio and spl. Follow all instructions in there and try again. That will get u a good recovery new radio/spl and more ram comes with it. The new roms need that combo.

This is the guide you need to set up adb on your computer.

If you have any questions i will try to help. After this is done you should be set up to run adb and fastboot commands from your pc.
Do everything in this guide except the recovery image. You will be doing that via ezterry's thread with amonra recovery. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck

Ok will do..I appreciate all your help and have a safe trip..

[Q]Bricked?

Hey guys...
I am a newbie who successfully rooted & installed cognition
everything seemed fine until I flashed a theme called
"CirclesMod_SGS2_Cognition_107blue-signed"
When I turn on my phone, AT&T, cognition, and Galaxy S show up
and then the screen goes black and phone just vibrates once or twice in a while...
My phone DOES go into Downloading... screen
I am not sure what my situation is... I could not find anything like this in this forum.
Help this newbie solve the problem..?

Ok so im the only one this late...bear with me kus im on my phone and i cant refer you to links...first of all...if you CAN go into download there is nothing to worry about...search on xda for "odin one click" download the package once you find it. After run the application and plug in your phone in download mode..you will see that the computer has recognized your phone when in the app thre is a little yellow box in the top left corner...after that hit start in the app and wait for a while until it reboots back to stock..hope it helps

isnt that theme specific for SGSII ROM?

Ooh that is a faaaaail
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App

If you can get in to recovery you can just reflash that rom (assuming you have the .zip on your SD). Also its usually a good idea to have a stock them for your phone on your SD when you are trying out themes. Something in the framework isn't compatible, but if it really is a SGS II theme dosen't suprise me.

sigh.. i passed out and just fixed it
thanks guys!
going into recovery mode and reflashing the rom did it!

[Q] BRICKED! No Touch Interface Recognition

I recently tried to bring my G1 back from the grave but, unfortunately it seems to not resurrect. I upgraded to the GB and since then I have not been able to use my Touch Interface! It will boot, it will get to the "Touch Android", but i only can use my trackpad to select options.

i know i hate this, ive had a few g1s like this and it is so annoying that you cant just highlight with trackball! when this happens i replace the digitizer and its fixed.
if anyone else has a good idea how to skip this, other then deleting the start up wizard from the rom of choice id love to know

So you think its the digitizer?. I think its the kernal that I have flashed I had two G1s' flashed the sameRom on both and the same incident! Any takers on this?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

so you are saying everyone who flashed the same rom as you now has a useless touchscreen? i kinda doubt it, maybe im wrong here but i cant imagine a kernel causing the digitizer to stop working when the rest of the rom is fine. there are easy ways of testing your theory you know...

Like? Let me guess install a different Rom and kernal?

you got it - make sure you do a superwipe! Also if your still not conviced maybe you can install a new radio/spl to be certain. Or even dreaming.nbh

XDA app not on market???

I have started to set up my old G1 as a back up phone to my Galaxy Tab 7.7 and one of the apps i want to install is XDA Premium but i can not find it. Please note that i have just recently rotted my G1, in the process to install custom recovery and update radio. Any suggestions?

untill you upgrade you may not find it, some apps won't work or even show up in the market on older roms, I assume you are donut and probably need to get to either eclaire or froyo before it will show
alternatively you can try a google search for the .apk and manually load it, it may fail but worth a shot

Its pretty easy or check the cyanogen wiki for further instructions, if you're an electronics tech it should be straight forward, just let me know if you get stuck somewhere as the first time doing so may be a little tricky

ok i will do that and telling , i need just one more ( q) about data on phone , i dont care about data back masg or apps elc.. do i need to do all steps , sorry for bothering you

Personally I do it slightly differently then laid out in that thread, being this is your first time doing this I suggest doing each step and follow order exactly. It is also a good idea to check md5sums when flashing radio and SPL as a bad download could cause a brick, the cyanogen wiki has them listed here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Dream_sapphire_Info
