Tell me what happens when you press home + power then alt + l when the screen comes up. .. and when that screen comes up does the g1 screen come up first? Cuz I think otherwise it might be a guaranteed brick :/

okay i gott itt to go to the menu. but i try to apply the v4.2.1 and it always aborts it =/

Try the Q&A forum next time.

I go to the menu. flash the 1.6 recovery image. Change Cyanogen to update. Try to flash it but it gets aborted

don't know about cy updates but it sounds like your may have a bad file. Have you installed this update before using the "same file"? if not you may try just redownloading the update.

really neeed helpp with this. Tried installing the v4.1.9999 and it still aborts

bummer. I'm not sure what all the prerequisites are for cy mods.. Hopefully someone else can jump in here to help ya :/

Think he may have aborted installation during the radio flash portion of the HTC archive.
From Cyanogen's OP:
cyanogen said:
7- Apply sdcard:choose zip *PICK dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip* from the list
ALLOW IT TO INSTALL FIRST.....you will see the "unbox" image.........then it will automatically reboot HOLD HOME button while it reboots.

That's not exactly the way it went for me the 2X I've done this, so maybe this is what happened...IDK?
I've had to reboot manually (Home+back) out of recovery following phase 1 of the flash to initiate the start the Radio flash portion. This may confuse some as it's not listed as a step.
Just to be sure, place fresh copies of dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip and cm4.2.1 in /sdcard prior to doing this. Use an external card reader if necessary.
1. Get into recovery
2. Wipe (optional but recommended, problems=include step 2)
3. Flash dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip
4. If phone does not reboot automatically, reboot manually (Home+back) out of recovery and release buttons immediately
5. Let Radio flash (you see the image of the box with the arrow and the eprom chip)
6. Wait for screen to go completely black then hold "Home" button until it reboots back to recovery console.
7. Flash CM4.2.1
I noticed 4.2.1 took an unusually long time to load on initial boot, so be patient.
If this has nothing to do with your issue, sorry for wasting your time. Hopefully this helps somebody eventually.

There are 2 things you could do, use cyans file, and make sure you flash the HTC image first, as his update file is a partial update without the google experience (read apps)
This is taken from Cyans OP in his thread and edited for you, please follow the instructions properly.
Note: You need cyanogens recovery image 1.4 or better for this process, as it lets you chose files named other than update.zip
Install instructions for an HTC Dream/ADP1/G1:
1- Perform a Backup......nandroid, etc (ignore since i don't suppose you have anything to backup at this moment)
2- Download: http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s3 Android 1.6 Recovery Image. This isn't the type of recovery image we know. It's HTCs version of an update.zip
3- Download cyanogens ROM. http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/update-cm-4.2.1-signed.zip
4- Mount your phone and place BOTH 1.6 Image and cyanogens ROM on your SD Card.
5- Reboot into recovery mode *Home+Power*
6- WIPE!!!! This will allow google apps to function, correctly.
7- Apply sdcard:choose zip *PICK dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip* from the list
ALLOW IT TO INSTALL FIRST.....you will see the "unbox" image.........then it will automatically reboot HOLD HOME button while it reboots.
(ITS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU HOLD THE HOME BUTTON, BECAUSE IF IT THE HTC ROM BOOTS, YOU WILL HAVE TO RE-ROOT YOUR PHONE)
8- Apply sdcard:choose zip *Pick cm-4.2.1-signed.zip* from the list.
9- Reboot!
OR
download daveid's full update from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=80FXE36J or http://www.mediafire.com/?dnljdtndwnv
and just flash normally.
Oh and to mount your sd card to transfer the rom images to it from your computer when in recovery (Alt-X), use this command (in recovery, on your phone)
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
Finally, as someone else mentioned, please post in the right section.

how did u get ur phone to go back to the menu because the same thing happened to me

Sorry for may bad english !
I have the same problem. After flash rom OTA 1.6 of HTC, now i lose the recovery cm-1.4.

When boot in recovery, it look like before hack root, we can't update the other file, exception "update.zip".
When i type "su" in terminal, it return "permission denied".
-I tried to update another rom but i didn't run.
-I tried to flash another recovery by Fastboot but not success.
-I tried to flash another SPL but not success.
-The last hope, i tried to re-hack root by DREAIMG.nbh but not success too.

Okay I had the same problem and know how to fix it.
1. Download 1.5 Cupcake here
2. Copy the file to the root of your SD and name it Update.zip
3. Boot recovery and press Alt + S to install Cupcake
4. Now that you`ve got Cupcake download Flashrec here
5. Make sure that you allow installing non market programs on your phone.
6. Open Flashrec after installing it and click backup recovery!! VERY IMPORTANT, didn`t do it the first time and it didn`t work.
7. After backup is finished you download the recovery given by the program
8. When the download is complete you select flash recovery.
9. Reboot, and flash your Custom Firmware again.
IMPORTANT!: All of the 1 click rooting procedures are putting the Flashrec.apk file and a recovery image on the SD card, installing Flashrec and then using it to flash the new recovery image. You WILL NOT have internal root access after this procedure (it only allows us external root access from recovery)
10. I installed the full version of 4.2.1 which was linked on the previous page of this thread, and it installed the right radio, spl and hboot.
So everything is normal again, thank god. Ow after i installed the full version of 4.2.1 it didn`t work but i had the recovery back and root so i installed the oldskool 4.1.1.1 and it works.
Good luck and this took me 5 hours to find out!

Things needed:
ADB/Fastboot knowledge - HERE and HERE
RGB565Converter v0.3c - Thanks to DeToX-cz!
UPDATE: You must have the engineering bootloader flashed for access to splash1. Follow the steps here to flash the S=OFF bootloader. -Thanks to jcase
Instructions:
Find an or create an image (.png, .bmp, .jpg, or .gif -- 320x480 is preferrable)
Open RGB565 Converter
Ensure that "To RGB565 (binary)" tab is selected
Click "Open Image", select your image
Click "Convert to RGB565" (RGB565 Converter will make your image 320x480 if it is not already)
CLOSE RGB565 CONVERTER
Reboot phone into Fastboot using this command: adb reboot bootloader
OR Button combo: SEND/CALL + END/POWER
Flash image using this command: fastboot flash splash1 <your_image_name>.rgb565
Reboot phone using this command: fastboot reboot
OR fastboot oem powerdown if not then remove your battery
View the results of your hard work.
Enjoy!

As of right now there is no way to read the splash1 partition to back it up short of some kind of kernel mod to partition splash1 from NAND as a new MTD. At least that's how I understand it, please correct me if I'm wrong.
You must flash the S-OFF BOOTLOADER for this to work.
You can use the RGB565Converter tool to flash your image successfully without needing to type commands.
Below is another method used to keep your phone from rebooting unexpectedly during the process:
joshw0000 said:
I tried using the "Flash Splash1" button that someone had posted earlier and I almost **** myself. I think my phone tried to load the file I originally used to root it. I was getting really nervous so I pulled the battery and, to my relief, it powered on and it booted normally. I'm sure that method works but I'm scared of it now.
I tried the original instructions and it rebooted my phone before I was ready so I did this in the command prompt (this was mentioned on the first page of posts):
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb shell
su
reboot bootloader
fastboot flash splash1 <copy and paste file name here>
fastboot reboot
Of course this will only work if you've downloaded the program, converted your picture and placed it in the tools directory of SDK.
Worked great for me. I couldn't be happier!

How do you get into fastboot? I held the trackball down and power. Is that what you meant by hold "send press" and also does the image need to be on the root of the sdcard(Im guessing so...)?

no, Hold Call button and end button to get into fastboot
and this is ONLY FOR ROOTED PHONES
thanks

thanks i will try it out. Im using ivan's 0.7

Ok so i figured out i needed to be in "fastboot usb" mode, but i searched and found that i had to type this command into the CommandPrompt
Code:
adb shell
su
reboot bootloader
then type in the command that was mentioned before, but make sure that the image is in the \tools dir in your android sdk install.

^^^ This worked...But i have question after this how do you reboot?
I just did a battery pull But I'm sure there must be a command to reboot anyone know what it is?
and I used this Picture of an android with the letters ERIS in the center is anyone else want that instead of the droid one or something.

there should be an option to go to HBOOT menu and then into recovery and reboot from there.
I used this one:

Great tutorial. Thanks!
Here's mine if someone likes it they are free to use it.

+1 rep (if only we could do that). I was looking for something like this. Thanks!

I did a battery pull myself too lazy to go into recovery from hboot. My phone did not explode after doing a battery pull so it "should" be safe however do so with caution.

moved thread by request of OP.
Best regards,
Flar

Ive learned that battery pull is the easyiest way,

As a fan of FFXIII, I could not pass up the opportunity to do this.
[Taking Requests also ]

Maybe we should come up with a thread so people can post all boot images and animations in one place, no?
Just remember to convert it like mentioned in the first post
Here is one(as a fan =] ):

Was just thinking about changing and found this. Thanks.

Awesome!!!
Thanks for the tutorial.

Worked great!

[RECOVERY] 4/Apr: 3.0.1.4 r1 - ClockworkMod Recovery for the LG Optimus 2X

DO NOT RUN THIS ON THE G2X! The partition layout is different, doing so will do bad things to your device. I will release a G2X compatible version when I am back online in a week's time!
For the past couple of days I have been working on creating a ClockworkMod recovery image for the LG Optimus 2X. I'm pleased to announce that the first full release is available!
Some points to note - READ THESE CAREFULLY!
Use at your own risk! I have successfully used the backup and restore functionality (nandroid), and am currently testing other functions.
If you manage to break your device completely, this ROM should get you back up and running.
Download
I have packaged the recovery itself and the installation system together in one download zip.
3.0.1.4 r1 DOWNLOAD (ROMraid Load Balancing) - MD5: 7145b425f95a87dc5bde29ac4eba48ff
Installation automatically on your device
NEW: If your device is rooted, my 99p 2X Recovery Boot app (mentioned below) can now flash the recovery image for you the first time you run the app and on subsequent version updates!
Installation on Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the zip file above and extract to a directory
- Connect your device and ensure 'USB debugging' is enabled
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-clockworkmod-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-clockworkmod-mac.sh' followed by './install-clockworkmod-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-clockworkmod-linux.sh' followed by './install-clockworkmod-linux.sh'
If you wish, you can also manually install the recovery by pushing the clockworkmod.img file to /data/local/ with adb and running 'dd if=/data/local/clockworkmod.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7' from a root shell.
Launching Recovery
To boot ClockworkMod Recovery, either:
Turn the device on while holding the volume down and power buttons until recovery loads
Download the OPTIONAL 99p 'LG 2X Recovery Boot' application from the Android Market (NOTE: This app is completely optional - if you do use it, thanks for your support!)
Source / Updates
I'll be posting the device profile and source changes on my GitHub shortly, and will issue fixes / new Betas as required.
Enjoy!

You are the best. I am wating for the crowd to test this so I can use it for my mission critical work phone but the future seems bright.

Hi Paul... first of all - Great job here
Second - if one can't get root access via SuperOneClick, like myself, is this still usable?

Great job paul

THANKS! Installing now
Update:
If you get error in windows just change adb-windows.exe to adb.exe

First, thank you very much, Paul. Great job!
Two questions.
1) This method overwrites the standard recovery on the phone, correct?
2) To revert back to standard recovery, one have to flash the whole phone using nvflash, correct?

Okay. Thanks.
Im just curious, who supplies the NVFlash archive? And is the standard recovery image supplied by Nvidia or LG? Since it is part of the NVFlash archive.

Found out why i can get no root access... i got no adb access at all.
First time pluggin in phone after install of LG drivers, it says that the adb interface thingy can't install.
This also causes that i can't install CWM.
Any suggestions as to what is wrong?

Thank you, Paul!

Successful nandroid backup I will try to make a custom rom.
Paul its was a good idea to let clockworkmod make backup to external sd because its not possible to mount usb storage in recovery menu yet.

[SEP.21.2011][SPLASH]New HTC "Stock" Splash Screens for HD2 Gingerbread Sense ROMS
Been a while since I published anything here and figured today would be a good day to do just that!
Here you will find my custom made splash screens & boot animation for Gingerbread Sense builds. It should work on ALL Gingerbread Sense ROM's currently available and is compatible with all current Gingerbread Sense compatible kernels.
Without further adieu, I present you the newest HTC "Stock" splash screen
"HTC- Together with Google"

}
Installation instructions
***First and foremost, extract the zip file to a folder on your desktop. It is NOT a stand-alone CWM zip file!***
To install the first splash screen(displayed before MAGLDR):
1. Power off your HD2.
2. Holding the volume down key, press the power button and turn on the device. Continue to hold the volume down key until you see a rainbow screen. This is the bootloader screen.
3. Plug your HD2 into your PC and you should see it switch to "USB". Your PC may need to install drivers. If it does, wait for it to finish and then you should see "USB" on your device.
4. Once you are connected to your PC and your phone displays "USB", open the folder labeled "First (Before MAGLDR)" and run "CustomRUU.exe". Follow the on-screen prompts and instructions and you will soon see it flashing your device. Don't worry, this will not erase anything on your device. It will only change the first splash screen you see before MAGLDR and nothing else.
5. Once the update is complete, your phone will reboot itself.
6. Enjoy your new first splash screen!
To install the second splash screen(displayed after MAGLDR):
1. Copy "HTC_Splash_Screen.zip" to somewhere on your SD card that you will remember where it is.
2. Reboot your device and hold the power key until you boot into MAGLDR.
3. Select option 8 to boot into CWM Recovery.
4. Using install zip from SD Card option, browse to where you copied the zip file to and select it as the file you want to install.
5. After installation has finished, reboot recovery and your phone will boot back up again into Android.
6. Enjoy your new second splash screen!
To install the Boot Animation(displayed after 2nd Splash Screen):
1. Copy "HTC_Boot_Animation.zip" to somewhere on your SD card that you will remember where it is.
2. Reboot your device and hold the power key until you boot into MAGLDR.
3. Select option 8 to boot into CWM Recovery.
4. Using install zip from SD Card option, browse to where you copied the zip file to and select it as the file you want to install.
5. After installation has finished, reboot recovery and your phone will boot back up again into Android.
6. Enjoy your new Boot Animation!
You will find the download for this great new HTC "Stock" Splash Screen and Boot animation below.
Enjoy and don't forget to hit the Thanks button if you enjoy my work!

I never thought it was possible to flash roms from CWM, will give it a shot thanks !

Splash 1(before MAGLDR) is to be flashed from bootloader using CustomRUU. NOT CWM. If you try to use CWM it will just fail since it's not a CWM zip file.
Splash 2(after MAGLDR) is to be flashed from CWM.
Read the instructions I wrote up in the first post and it will walk you through every step of the process.
Enjoy!

Boot animation removed temporarily. Ironing out some bugs.
EDIT: Boot animation is fixed and back online! Enjoy folks!!

wow...so you actually edited the initrd.gz file? fantastic! have no idea what that file is but houses the image i would love to edit...
may i ask, how?

Why is the version still 6.0.4.6?

CWM 6.0.4.7
OP Updated

Feb/2 OP updated

Small question: my device is on 10.26.1.17. Updating to the latest official 4.3 will definitely wipe the CWM recovery, and probably will make some of the apps not running any more (not mentioning loosing root, etc..)
Is it possible to install the CWM on such a ROM version (10.26.1.17) ? I've just tested booting it and booting (and using it as a backup) works.

I was on 6.0.4.6 and i used flashify to update. Worked fine.

@pershoot I'd love for this recovery to include touch screen drivers. That way at least aroma could use the touch screen. Any ideas how to compile with the standard drivers included?

I'm getting a weird error I've never seen before trying to flash something with fastboot. :
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 643825664 bytes
error: cannot load 'recovery.img' : No error
Any ideas?

Make sure recovery.img is in the same folder as fastboot and you are running the cmd prompt from that folder.

Duh, I have platform-tools in my path so I can run them from anywhere. I forgot to cd to the directory. Thanks for airing out my brain fart.

Very common mistake that happens to the best of us

Hi,
I spent hours trying to get this to work before discovering there are two missing steps in the OP's instructions.
There's a shell script that calls an application that restores the stock boot loader on every boot.
You have to delete it.
Steps:
1. Root.
2. Install Root Explorer.
3. Go into /etc
4. Delete install_recovery.sh
5. Go into /system
6. Delete recovery-from-boot.p
You have to delete the files. You can't just rename them or change the extension because the system actually searches the filesystem for a file whose contents matches an MD5 hash and will find it if you rename it.
After you do this, THEN follow OP's instructions.
