Hello,
This is my first post so I apologize in advance if it is in the wrong area or if the answer is common knowledge. I looked the best I could and was unable to find a solution to my problem.
The issue is recently when I try to download files from within the browser I receive the message "Download Unsuccessful" and the file does not download. This has happened numerous times of the last few days and is now at the point where I cannot seem to download anything directly from the browser.
An example of things I am trying to download are podcasts off of PodcastAlley.com (podcastalley.com/podcast_details.php?pod_id=20249) and also I have had the issue when trying to download an file from megaupload/rapidshare etc.
I found a lot of people had this issue with the market however my market works fine and I am able to download apps. I have tried clearing the cache/data of the market and download manager etc but it has resulted in nothing.
I should also mention that I have this problem over Wifi, 3g and Edge network connections so I really dont know what to think. Aside from factory reset, does anyone have any ideas as to what I can try? Thanks!
EDIT: forgot to say that this issue seems to have appeared since I flashed the stock frf91 update for custom recoveries as I currently have RA recovery.
Well, I feel silly. I found out what my problem was when I went to transfer the files to my SD card after downloading them on my pc; it turns out my SD card was full.
Yes, a little embarrassing, and a little funny but I am glad I got my problem sorted out. In gingerbread 3.0 I would like to see something that tells me why my download failed next time haha.
I just did the same thing yesterday.
It's ok, brain farts happen.
First off I would like to say that this is one of the best forums I have ever seen as the amount of support and helpful users and creativity put into these phones are staggering. I was going to go to Windows mobile for my next phone but I now doub it with this site or at least maybe I will dual boot.
So I am sure I am asking questions that have already been answered but my problems with the phone (USA G1) are many and the answers to some of the problems are so fragmented that I had at one point 14 tabs open for reference to solve just a few issues. I am 70% noob with the G1. I have had the phone for a year with no major issues just the annoying Force Close that seemed unecessary for the commonality of the app that had problems. Texts were annoying because I could not tell if they had been sent the previous day or recently as service at my home is come and go and my older Verizon phone had envelope information and even said if the person had read it or not so no annoying duplication. However, otherwise it was stable and would last about a day and a half with the double size battery.
Recently, however I had rebooted from the power button prompt and it got stuck (I can't remember on what screen) and figured installing a different ROM and other files would fix the problem. By the way, I had bought the phone rooted and I believe it was using JF 1.42 and a Cyagen mod (forgive my spelling). So I followed step by step from this forum the wiki on the lastest stable Cy ROM. I followed the instructions to the T.
Being new to the software, it was a slow process with a lot of repeating of steps discovering little details that were not mentioned like naming something update instead of update.zip like instructed or adding the .img as an extension. So I had nearly made it and then I came to the DangerSPL and other files to be loaded on the phone in order via fastboot. Despite, several attempts I could not get the skateboarding droids or the rainbow screen to come up so I finally decided to just continue as I had been using Amon-RAs 1.7 update zip feature to follow the instrucions and install the software in order. All was well until I got to flashing the actual ROM which said something about how it said the E: [insert file name here] was not correct so it aborted everytime but it did show some progress on the yellow bar.
Next came the issue of the G1 screen hanging up after the above problem and for some reason I could get to the 1.7 screen but only by holding the button required to access Amon RA longer than usual other wise it would say the build of Amon RA at th ebottom with no commands and the reboot itself or hold it longer and finally get to the Amon RA but it would not load my recovery files as I had made many along the way.
I nearly gave up but then came across this solution which worked by using method 1 at well I am not allowed to pu the websit in here but I am not allowed by the mods. but it is the 4th one down if you google "how to fix a soft brick g1" and the link is titled Unbrick - android-roms - How To: Recover your G1 from a bring ...However, it did get stuck at the rainbow screen as it finally let me do the fastboot and I saw the Androids skateboardig but it hung at the rainbow screen. It was here I noticed that my 32A phone was now a 32B. I took the battery out and powered it up and lo and behold it was asking me to put in my google information and I finally made it to the home screen.
I thought "Yes!". Now, I can try again since it will fastboot now which was what was recommended at the final steps but I was mistaken. I could not searc the market for common apps like wave secure and it frequently said it does not exist. I saw that my terminal app was gone and when I was finally able to download it from the market and my superuser app was gone and the termina would not respond as before to the input of SU.
Then, I noticed my phone's screen would randomly come on and only sometimes go off. When I pressed menu it was as if it the call button was stuck and it would either repeatedly bring up voice dial or call someone. The buton does not appear to be stuck otherwise. When it would briefly stop, acting like the call button was in turbo mode it would give me the option to mount the SD card as I had lost my micro sd card reader but never give me a chance to mount it before the call button interrupted with google dial or calling some number.
I do not believe this to be a hardware issue because as far as I remember the call button worked normally during the steps as it was requently used. So my questions, at the moment, are these:
1. How do I tell if the call button problem is a hardware or software issue?
2. Once I find my card reader and will I be able to use the factory bootloader to go through the updates.
3. Obviously I have derooted my phone (or maybe I can delete the diag from sd card and it will operate as it is derooted), will I be able to reroot my phone by using my backups of nandroid basically leaving me at whatever step I was on to the road of recovery?
4. How do I use my nandroid backup to recover especially if I am stuck with the factory bootloader?
5. I copied my SD card before I did the wipe originally so will I be able to find a .xml from handcent with my texts? (I text myself my mileage for work as with my hours, it is easier than using an app plus it saves space for other apps)? Should I load that backup nandroid first and start over?
6. Is there a quicker way to root like...a program?
7. What is your advice for the future other tha obviously backing up my texts more?
8. When did wave secure start costing money? I think I might have backed up everything a few days before the crash but I have no access to it now.
9. What other key combinations can I later use for the fast boot?
10. When formating the card to fat32 what allocation do you use and do you use quick format?
11. What is lost dir. and why is it empty?
12. In Amon RA 1.7 there are several caches which I cleard all of them when asked to clear the the cache in the wiki directions? Should I clear all of them and what are the seperate caches, espicially the davik one?
I am sure I am missing some question but I will post more as I try to follow your directions or attempt other methods. I apologize for the long, long story but I wanted make sure I did not leave out any detail so this can be resolved ASAP because I am sure I am receiving texts and calls and people are probably thinking I am ignoring them (no one leaves voicemails anymore so how can I know if they called or texted during the phone's sickness). I also apologize if I have broken any forum rules or posted in the wrong section or violated some. Thanks guys in advance. I miss the fat little thing so much.
Oh My god! Sorry but that's too long for me to read, my attention span isn't all that great =p
I will try to help with your questions but I didn't read the whole intro so my answers might be a little redundant.
1.Run "adb logcat" from a cmd prompt on your computer and see if pushing the button registers on the computer
2. um ok??? not a question
3. you will have to re-root but your backups will still be usable after you gain back root
4. boot to recovery (home+power), scroll down to backup and restore, select restore, and select the file
5. I'm not familiar with handcaent so can't offer help there.
6. It's not hard. Downgrade with DREAIMG.nbh to RC29, use update.zip to upgrade to 1.5, install one click root, use it, flash a recovery, and flash a rom.
7. You should write shorter paragraphs =p
8. Again, not familiar with it.
9. HOME + POWER, and BACK + POWER
10. No clue....
11. It's a folder automatically created when you don't unmount your phone before disconectiong the usb. It's useless and you can delete it.
12. When installing a new rom, just wipe everything. It saves you trouble later on.
Hope I helped...
Thanks I will give it a try later today and probably come back with more questions and longer paragraphs
Hey Guys, My HTC wildfire is net locked to 3, i have tried several times to install a custom rom via unrevoked 3 tool.
This is the process i went through:
downloaded rom(s) - have tried several
copied to SDcard
ran unrevoked 3
backed up
reset to factory settings + then wiped cache partition
install from SDcard > navigated to zipped rom
installation flashed up for a second then quit, does this everytime on any rom
reboot
checked software name everytime and is only coming up saying 2.1-update 1
any ideas on how i can get either unlocked 2.1 ROM or 2.2 ROM installed? is there anything i am doing wrong / missing
many thanks
w1ngs
You need to first debrand your WF. You do this by creating a Gold card.
I did mine by the Modaco method.
Google debrand wildfire and you'll see.
Good Luck
Ok nevermind, have found it, many thnks, now sitting with my debranded phone, flash time
Hmmh, still the same result when i came to flash the ROM. It opens then quits a second later. I now have a debranded phone.
Any ideas?
Well I can't offer you a solution but I can tell you that my Wildfire works on 3 without any need for the gold card method. Make sure you have added 3 network settings in wireless network settings. Sometimes custom ROMs don't pick this up.
Also, at the risk of sounding insulting, make sure you have paid your bill. I thought I had my bill set to direct debit but either the 3 customer service goons failed at setting this up or my bank wouldn't allow it. So for a couple of days I was thinking that my custom ROM wasn't working but actually it was 3 had cut me off.
just a small point here but a fairly substantial one, i am talking about flashing the wildfire to a different ROM, not having network issues, your comment was unhelpful as perhaps you did not read the original post. Thanks
Can anyone help?

Try reflashing as I had that problem once. And try a different memory card as I have killed 3 mem cards upto now!

Hello,
I am a newcomer to the Forum and I would be grateful if I could benefit from the experience and the knowledge of the experts.
I have an unlocked HTC G1 phone. I use the ATT network.
I would like to install Gingerbread.
Could somebody give me the direction where I would find a step by step guide to replace my actual Donut version with Gingerbread.
Here are the specs of the phone:
Model number Android Dev Phone 1
Firmware version 1.6
Baseband version 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.261
Kernel version 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37
[email protected]#19
Build number DRC83
well if its a dev phone it should already be rooted so ignore those steps, check and see your radio/spl (power on holding camera button)
your answer here will determine the next step
chances are you need to follow this link _ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
once this is complete follow the steps here _ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882356
if you need more help let me know!
Thank you very much for your reply.
Unfortunately my knowledge in this field is infinitesimal small.
That is why I am looking for a step by step guide.
Maybe I put myself in the wrong forum for my level and my needs. My apologies.
The only thing I know is that my phone does not need to be rooted.
Thank you again for your advice and your time.
Happy New Year to all of us
if your not finding what you are looking for ill see what i can do
first off i need to know your radio/spl - this will help me determine what you need to do next
just type in everything off the screen that will be rainbow colored or have three androids on skateboards
to check the screen, power off your phone, then hold down the power (red button) and the camera button at the same time. tell me what it says...
after you write all of that down press the green, red and menu buttons all at once and the phone will reboot normally.
gunner1937: There is a link I found in another thread for an older version of ROM Manager which will work on Android 1.6. Since you're rooted with a Google ADP phone this might be all you need. But I would go in the menu and do a factory reset.
I upgraded my T-Mobile G1 from stock Android 1.6 to CyanogenMod 6.1 (Android 2.2.1) three days ago following the instructions on http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Dream:_Rooting
I will stick with it for now. It came bundled with the ROM Manager app.
In the past week I've researched upgrading to Gingerbread and just recently there may be a bug uncovered where the phone no longer goes into Deep Sleep mode. This means the battery usage is not ideal compared to other earlier ROMs. It turns out virtually all Gingerbread Dream ROMs use some code by ezTerry, so they may all have this issue. So.. I think I will hold off on going to a flavor of Gingerbread until I get more info on this possible bug.
In your case I believe I'd do the factory reset, then load this ROM Manager onto it. You'd need to copy the ROM Manager.apk file to your phone's SD card. I would backup the contents of your SD card onto your PC just so you have any files/songs you want, and then format it with FAT32. You can format the SD card from a Settings menu on the phone if you like. I think there's another setting in the menu to allow installing a program from unknown sources. Find that and check it in order to be able to manually install an app like this. Or I dunno, that may not be in the ADP phone. Next you'd need to get on the Android market and get a file manager to be able to dig into the SD card's file directory and install the APK file. I used a text editor called TxtPad Lite which included a usable file manager. Another one is called Astro File Manager. With something like that you can browse the file system to be able to look at the files on your SD card and install ROM Manager. You'd just find the APK file and tap on it.
So then you're reset, got the ROM Manager app that will work on Android 1.6, then you can use it. You want to let it install the ClockworkMod Recovery first thing. It's required and what the app uses to manage installing your ROMs. I myself have never actually used ROM Manager to install a ROM (I did use it to install the ClockworkMod Recovery). I've gone in and out of the app. It asked me to update it, so I did. And I decided to stick with CyanogenMod 6.1 for now. It looks like it's gone through a ton of vetting to get it really honed.
I kind of wanted a more full introduction to flashing the ROMs and stuff and the CyanogenMod guide was great for me. This looks like a relatively painless and less complicated way to safely upgrade and switch out ROMs for you, and I might've done it more or less this way if I'd discovered it first.
Thank you.

Personally I would recommend you install froyobylaszlo
But anyways, first of all before you start installing the 2708+ kernel, you're gonna need fastboot and adb on your computer
What OS do you have on your computer?
one laptop is Vista and the other is Win7

If you are not testing it this is a bad conclusion:
*) Deep sleep may or may not be working.. this has mixed results but the device is mostly sleeping.. so yes if completely idle (ie no cell network no wifi, screen off, no services running..) you might go from 4days uptime that the system currently gets even with an sdcard to 5 days if the problem if it exists is solved
problem is deep sleep is when the ARM11 CPU is turned completely off (it is going into low speeds correctly, and disabling other hardware into low power modes) This means when you are using the phone this state will not be entered (and thus the phone uses the same power as it is now) when a service is actively running.
Thus most peoples battery enhancements in GB are from the new APIs to allow applications to stay in the background more in Gingerbread; and a much larger problem is many applications these days are running more services than the G1 can support thus the system is constantly swapping in and out applications from memory.
Thus those whose battery on gingerbread roms is draining fast will more likely benefit from checking what is running in the backgound than waiting on a deep sleep fix if its even a problem.. since the services will still run after any fix and the battery life won't improve.
What the op needs is the 2708+ radio/SPL (that others are helping with) than nandroid in recovery can be used to switch between roms; since it provides more ram to CM5/CM6 and gingerbread roms all work with the 2708+ combination then the op can pick what works best for them in a more overall evaluation... and not just what lasts the longest when not used as a phone.
To OP:
the best way to continue is to:
1) Install fastboot (and the sdk) on your computer. you will need to search for this since the since I don't know the details for windows
2) If you already have a custom recovery (clockwork or ra-recovery) continue; otherwise you will need to install one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4647751&postcount=1
3) then since you have HBOOT: 0.95.0000 install 1.33.2003 from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6510019&postcount=76 this will allow fastboot and let you continue with:
4) Then the installation section at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139 (The files section will have the various files required and older roms that have been ported to work on the new SPL/Radio.. newer roms mostly will work per instructions on the rom's thread) .. read the entire post before doing anything.. as this is a major change to the phone, and the actions to fix something if you run into a problem may be slightly different than they were with more stock roms..
Try to get a feeling for what is needed before you begin .. we know its a bit of an involved process.. but most users have auctioned this in smaller steps originally.
(Note the cmwiki will probably be the best way to install recovery)
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910008
Download the drivers only pack
I think it includes fastboot
I can't check, if not tell me and ill upload my files as soon as I can get to a computer
search in google (or probably even xda) for "easy fastboot" if your having issues using fastboot, its exactly that an easy way to use fastboot for noobs.
also you can flash your new radio/spl as well as your rom via recovery, it isnt recommended but it can be easier if you have issues. ill tell you i have done it this way many times and have yet to brick a phone but as always my experience dosent me you will have the same. so try to follow the suggested route of fastboot is best.
upgrading to Gingerbread
I should have taken a longer rest.
I am starting the New Year with the feeling that everybody gets the right to flame me: my G1 does not work after a very bad step.
I installed on the re-formatted SD card 2 files namely DREAIMG.nbh and cupcake.
In short, I got the message "E: cannot open /sd card /update.zip (no such a file or directory). Installation aborted".
The next step was to sign my google account. It failed.
At this stage I cannot format, read, transfer, and use the SD card because it is not recognized by the computer. And of course the phone is not working.
Right now the G1 shows in the colored bars:
DREA100 PVT 32B
HBOOT- 0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO- 1.22.12.29 (before doing anything to the phone the radio was 2.22.19.26I)
This phone was unlocked and set on the AT&T network.
Thanks to my wife Nexus One I can use, format, transfer files (which I did, to no avail) by inserting my SD card in her phone.
The least to say is that I really need the help, knowledge, and assistance of the Forum members.
What you don't want to hear is we see no error in what you have described. > well apart from the nbh file used it may be the original way to root but its not the easiest.
The message you are seeing in recovery is not am indication of a problem.
Ok, 0.95.0000 has no fastboot and thus you really need a custom recovery, to do that you. Need to flash it from the rom after rooting it, this means you need to try and boot the phone normally and log into Google normally.. if this fails try the following:
A.) go into recovery (home+power) and press alt+L then the combo to wipe the phone
B.) If its still not working try re-flashing the nbh
Oncce logged into google the telnet trick can work..
C.) While it needs a bit more setup, this third option is easier to install the 3rd party roms without a Google login and manual flash of recovery from system: make a goldcard ( you can do this on the n1) then put the orange nbh from the 2708+ thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139 this can be renamed DREAIMG.nbh and then be flashed with the gold card you made. (There are many guides on making the goldcard for HTC phones) Once flashed you will have a fastboot enabled spl that will let you flash anything by fastboot.
Thank you for helping me to breathe a little bit deeper, better, and slower.
So far I am in the same situation.
Dropping by BestBuy I found an SD micro with an adapter. It makes life easier for everybody.
I did again what I started, trying 2 different downloads of the .nbh file. Still locked at signing my google account.
Following your advice I will try to create a goldcard and follow the procedure you mention this evening.
Wait...locked at signing in to google account?
What do you mean? It shows google sign in but you can't sign in?
Do you not have a data plan?
If so, just google "activate g1 wifi"

I am still trying to create a goldcard with the nexus 1. I cannot install a driver for it, I cannot install a driver from HTC sync, I get a message that "the device is not connected" but I can see the microSD on the computer.
This is where I am. And I do not know anymore what I have to do next since I feel I am in front of a wall.

I did not express myself correctly.
When one reaches the sequence to sign into a Google account one has to enter email address then password.
I did that and few minutes later I got the message it could not reach the google servers.
Also, I have -rather had - a wi-fi connection since I got the G1 in December 2008.

Use that guide to turn it on and sign in
And if you don't want to download the entire sdk just wait until I get on my computer and ill upload just the files you need
But tell me if you still need the files or not...I don't wanna upload for nothing
And if you can't get the steps right, I can try tell you more stepbystep instructions

Hey everyone, after a year of not caring about any mods or hacks for my galaxy s I thought that I should get one problem out of this world.
I am talking about the constantly flashing led buttons...so I stumbled upon BLN control which needed a special kernel, so I downloaded the promoted Kernel Flasher and the .tar file of the manual site of BLN (the site i was linked to via my mobilephone when opening BLN).
That tar file was called something with odin in it (not the "update" version). I used odin back in the days I remember...anyways, while in kernel flasher i inserted that tar file...and the kernel was installed, auto-reboot and since then it restarts on loops. Loads the desktop, checks for sd cards...you can scroll around a bit...then after 8 seconds it gets black and restarts.
I am really desperate here, because my exams are coming up and due to my carelessness I have this nasty problem to solve on top of that. Arghh...
There are some appz with important information in it (like notes), a clear swipe would be the absolute last resort here.
Can I recover my old kernel (didn't backup my old one), or replace/update with a new, working one? Through the recovery menue?
If you'd be so kind to step by step explain how it should be done? and I will cease any modding, hacking after this one. -_-
It is a rooted 2.3.3 Gingerbread kernel, as far as i can remember.
Can you go to download mode ? if so flash the .tar file as pda in odin. MAKE SURE IT'S THE RIGHT KERNEL FOR YOUR DEVICE.

Thanks for the tip.
This morning I played around with this bootlooping phenomenon a bit and found out, that when I immediately close any wlan or phone signal my phone works normal...just that I cannot phone anyone, or be phoned, or surf the net.
I manually did a backup of all my important files now, phew.
When using backup programs my phone resets immediately too.
Ok, long story short, I got my firmware, kernel info now, so you might be able to tell me which kernel, firmware would be appropriate for me (didn't update for a year now, so I am not on top of the news).
Kernel/file that screwed up my phone:
i9000_jvh_backlightNotification_v3.0_odin.tar
My actual Kernel Version:
2.6.35.7-i9000XWJVH-CL184813 [email protected] #51
Buildnumber:
Gingerbread.XWJVB
I am able to enter the download mode, but which . tar-file should I use in your opinion? What's a good one today?
Ah, I see the light, maybe I once again will be able to phone again.

Kernel/file that screwed up my phone:
i9000_jvh_backlightNotification_v3.0_odin.tar
My actual Kernel Version:
2.6.35.7-i9000XWJVH-CL184813 [email protected] #51
Buildnumber:
Gingerbread.XWJVB
I am able to enter the download mode, but which . tar-file should I use in your opinion? What's a good one today?
Ah, I see the light, maybe I once again will be able to phone again.

do you want to use a Samsung stock kernel or do you wanna give a try to Cyanogenmod stable or something like that?
Last time I saw samfirmware sites I saw that 2.3.6 was avaible for Europe...
Well... that's your choice!!!
Will I be able to keep the functionality of BLN, that keeps those led-buttons at the bottom turned off?
With a Samsung Stock-Kernel you will loose the BLN-Feature. You can try flashing another Kernel which has implemented this feature too. I used the SemaphoreKernel which has this feature. (works on all GB-Roms)
If you try Cyanogenmod you will loose BLN too. But Cm has a feature called "LED-Notification" which does the same as BLN does.
So, I downloaded update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip should I go on with this manual? http: //jjpda.blogspot.com/2011/10/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-71-on-i9000.html ?
Or do I have to go back from a root to apply this new one?
Which program do I use on PC, and which one on my phone again? :O
Search in Cyanogenmod wiki for i9000,you will find all the steps to follow..
You need 1st TO root the phone, than install ROM manager, install CWM, place CM7 zip on internal SD, remove SIM And ext. SD,reboot into recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik, flash CM7 zip and reboot.
Don't forget:
-fully charge your phone before starting
-read CM7 wiki page
Hope this might help you.

Well, I did everything the wiki told me to do and here i am with a new rom.
But now my SIM-CARD isn't recognized anymore. I accidently forgot what bedo told me in his last post, and left that card inside while flashing. My bad, i guess.
But what can I do now? I re-flashed, wiped already, with no success, my sim card is still absent in cyanmod. :\

I always leave my sim card in my phone when I flash.. are you just getting no cell signal? Or just trying to get your contacts off of it?

Can you post a screenshot about info of your phone with CM7?
(long press power button and select Screenshot when you are in the info menu )
Here some info for your amusement. Have fun!
Supposed we get to a solution, so I can use my phone for communication purposes again, I wanted to format the internal sd memory of my phone.
Can I just format it, then just leave the flash files on it, to reflash again?
How does that work?
Also, I flashed that googleappz package rom too after the cynomod flash, as I was supposed to by wiki manual.
But I cannot find google maps, android market etc.
I wonder if there is any connection to my initial sim card problem.
But first things first I guess...wanna do some calls :\
Thanks so far for all the good souls trying to help me!
try to flash cm7 radio .
What is the difference exactly? Includes a radio option?
Does it also have the option to turn off the led sensor buttons?
Has it an option to do phone calls too?
PS: I cannot seem to find any cyanmod radio file...hmm

O_O OMG!
Seems no SIM card detected....
Very very strange...
Like the fact that you flash GApps and you can't see market...
Did you wipe cache and Dalvik cache?
+ try this:
"Settings -> Location&Security -> Set up SIM card lock -> Lock SIM card (uncheck)"
I found that in some cases might help.

Take a look here and try with JVK if it works...
I wiped everything possible in recovery mode, flashed that ominous JVC rom, then googleappz. At least now I can shop in the android market. But the sim card still is in the land beyond imagination.
Has my sim card been...bricked?
Which other flash files do you suggest me to try out now? Or should I get me another sim card from the store?
Everything's solved! And the solution was too easy to believe...
Checked the sim card slot more deeply and found out that the sim card wasn't placed in correctly. I seem to have taken it out through the flashing process and in all the "commotion" quickly put it in wrong. Sorry for the big fuzz, everyone.
At least now I got some training with flashing.
So, should I reflash the first cyanmod again?
no you don't need to reflash the rom, cause you already flashed twice plus wiped all possible options...!
I just didn't want to ask you to check if the SIM card was insert properly,
but that would solve your issue faster...!
Enjoy CM7!
Well, I had some time to try out the performance and stability of this mod.
Games definitely are running with a some lag (also reaction time of the sensor to control your game, makes them unplayable).
I tried to uncheck the Cyanmod setting option "Dithering" and "JIT"..also put the cpu settings to "performance".
To be sure I formatted internal SD and external SD.
My phone had some problems finding my external SD, but some guy on the net told to go to Cyanmod settings, applications, use internal memory...and now I use my external SD for everything I guess?
Maybe this is because everything is in slowmo?
Maybe the firstly flashed mod was more...stable?
So, my question would be how to use my internal sd card, maybe it gets faster then?

What about changing to kernel infinity?
