Installing Froyo Questions Please help!

Ok so im trying to install froyo 2.2 and this is the page im doing it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686627
So i have a nexus one with the Htc Desire Software on it and i didnt know which one should i download so i picked the tweaked version and this is what i did i wipe it then flashed the zip and it just froze on the unlock symbol in the beginning so i had to reflash the Desire rom i had before which works so can someone please help me out thanks in advanced i think i did something wrong.

The files Cyan posted are NOT Froyo. What he posted are the files to get ROOT on an existing install of Froyo. Look for the FRF50 thread posted by paulobrien, flash that first,then flash the files by Cyan.

Paul has an already rooted version of the rom without the radio update i believe. he shouldn't need to flash cyan's mod. unless he wants the kernel tweaks.
I was having random reboots with it so i went to paul, no reboots so far. =)
(i think it had something to do with setcpu, my cpu settings were 1113 and i dont think the cpu was supposed to go to that frequency so that may be why it was acting up.)

so what am i soppose to do?

Go to this page:
http://android.modaco.com/content/g...ed-update-zip-no-radio-option-online-kitchen/
It's pretty self explanatory but you can flash either FroYo with or without the radio update.

Here's a basic tutorial I wrote up with all files needed to update to froyo... Enjoy! Working 100% if you follow instructions as listed (haven't heard of an issue from others yet that tried it this way)

thanks man that worked i have one little problem how can u check if u have flash bcuz i try and see a video and sometimes it says u need an update so...

look up adobe in the market and download flash beta... it shows up for anyone using 2.2 (froyo)

[Q] All apps randomly close with any custom rom!!

Foremost, I apologize if this has been asked and answered before. I've been searching for weeks...maybe I'm a bad searcher.
My issue is that I have been experiencing random force closings on random apps, including random partial reboots when unlocking the Unlock screen (screen freeze then goes to Rom intialization screen). Sometimes Dolphin HD closes when loading pages, same with stock browser and Opera Mini, though sometimes the same page will load fine (both with JS on and off and with Flash turned off in Froyo ROMs). Swype (v.2.15) will sometimes close when typing in the search widget or an SMS message in both ChompSMS and stock messaging app. Titanium Backup and Astro sometimes close when scrolling down the app list. The only consistant factor that I can think of is available RAM or the processor overheating.
I have installed multiple ROMs thinking its ROM-specific, but the same behavior manifests in each one. I've tried Assonance 5.2, Cognition 3.04, Phoenix 4.5 and Serendipity 5-1.4.
With each new flashing I first use Odin to get back to stock, then use Odin to Master Clear, then root the phone, then install Clockwork, flash it's recovery app and then use Clockwork to flash the new ROM.
I did fresh installs of any apps I installed from the Market as I know user data from 2.1 will cause issues with 2.2.
Because I thought it was a RAM issue I installed Autokiller Memory and used the 'Optimum' preset.
After all this I still have the same issues with random apps closing and the phone doing ROM reboots when at random times I unlock the phone. Can anyone give me some guidance?

1. When restoring apps with TiBu, are u restoring system data too?
2. Do not restore data of non-system apps if moving between android 2.1 and 2.2.
3. Last ditch attempt, try flashing 5.5 version of the rom in my signature, and if the issue still persists.
4. Processor overheating can be reduced to some extent by turning 3G off, and getting on EDGE. This would reduce ur download speed though.

I'll give your ROM a shot.
Stupid question - Do all ROMs have kernels and modems cooked into them? I was just thinking that I've been flashing tons of ROMs lately and I'm not sure of the most stable kernels to have.

Yup they come all "pre-cooked" with kernels and modems... otherwise they wouldn't run
But you can flash different modems and even kernels (at your own peril). You can find them in the dev forum.. usually "update.zip" that you can use to flash under recovery.
But.. this sounds like maybe your internal RAM is corrupt?
Do these things persist if you were to stay at stock 2.1? I would run it "barebones" with just the restore and use the phone for a day or two to see if it continues to happen.
If the issues stop - your all good - just need to figure out what your doing or what your installing that is horking your phone. For me in the past its been due to overclocking without even knowing it (yay for Voltage Control) or it's been an application or bad flash causing the issue.
If the issues persist under the stock ROM - probably hardware related and you would need to warranty it for a different one.

diablo009 - I ended up not using Tibu to restore anything because I feared that a backup was the cause of my force closings. I had done a clean flash of stock, rooted and then flashed a new ROM. The only apps I installed were dolphin, pandora, clockwork and Lookout.
Thanks avgjoegeek, I did kind of fear that it was bad RAM as this behavior mimics performance on a PC with bad RAM installed.
I did run it on stock for half a day because I wanted to verify and there were no force closings. I am going to run it on stock for the weekend and see what happens. If everything is all good then I will flash di11i's 5.5 and see what happens.
Could it be possible that some features of 2.2 just are not compatible with my captivate build?

When u restore to stock, format the internal SD from within windows. (Ok, I won't contest anyone's arguments on this, but I personally find it easier than doing a master clear and to wipe off even the basic folders android os format creates.)
And, I would recommend u download a fresh copy of 5.5, with a kernel that does not have any OC in it, to play safe. 5.5 is available in two versions - one with OC kernel, and one with non-OC kernel.
It could be a case of kernel too. Try swapping kernel and see if that helps. Not all kernels go well with all hardware. That's the reason I swapped to xcalibur kernel as soon as I loaded 5.5.
I think, personal opinion here, u could do away with clockwork recovery too. U cud download the cwm console update.zip and put it on ur sdcard root. And apply the update.zip with in console in stock to load up CWM console. This is the most non-intrusive way of going to CWM console as far as I know.

I've been running stock since yesterday with zero issues. My force closing issue usually appears within an hour of flashing a new ROM so this is a very good sign that its a flashing and not a hardware issue.
diablo009, you mention using the CWM console instead of clockwork recovery. Isn't this what the clockwork manager installs? Are you saying to install through the consol startup app instead of using the clockwork app when fully booted up? If so, this is what I have been doing.
Maybe its a kernel issue as I think i've exhausted all other options. I'll try xcaliburinhand's v2.3.2 01.31.2011 and see if it works.
Any other suggestions?

Yes. But instead of updating the system boot with this, it leaves the system as it is, and uses is as a standalone program.

Here you go.
1. Copy this to the root of ur sd card.
2. Go to recovery
3. Select "apply update.zip"
4. If u r doing this for the first time, u would need to step 3 again.
You would not now be in a green screen recovery console.
I would recommend storing this file in a safe place so u can copy it to sdcard root whenever u want to revert to stock before flashing a new rom.

Update:
I ran on stock ROM for 2 days without any force closings, no issues.
I just flashed di11i's 5.5 (no OC) ROM and within 10 minutes had numerous force closings and a ROM reboot.
I then flashed the I9000 reoriented ROM (from diablo009's signature link) and the issues persisted.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or any more ideas on what could be causing my issue?

The above link is a guide to rooting, installing vulnerable recovery and instgalling ROMs. 2.3 ROMs are not any different. Do the first steps and then choose a ROM (I like CM7 ) that uses 2.3.

Firstly, you must flash G.O.T 2.2.1 then you can follow some 2.3 ROM in this thread. I have try CM7, HO!NO!, ShadowMod, ... you can try theme

after flashing with G.O.T 2.2.1, that means that I have now the android 2.2 ? because if so...that would be enough for me now, I just want to install applications on SD card, ....as in android 2.1 is not possible.

Yes, you have 2.2 and rooted phone.
Worth a look at the 2.2 or 2.3 roms and themes though as once you are rooted it is just a case up putting the zip in the right directory of your sd card and installing it in openrecovery

ok. After reading the forum about rooting i have some questions.
I have downloaded from GOT homepage the RETAIL EUROPE (RTEU) fireware. According to the guide...first I have to flash with rds light the GOT_RTEU_2_2_1FULL and then with 'G.O.T OpenRecovery V2.0' root the phone and then apply custom roms.
My question is that I do not have to wipe data + cache + dlavik cache before applying ANY roms, lik 'GOT_RTEU_2_2_1FULL' - and this meaning that i have to instal first 'G.O.T OpenRecovery V2.0'.
By flashing with rds light 'GOT_RTEU_2_2_1FULL' means that I didn't apply a rom?

SBFs are usually a bit different then normal ROMs. They usually wipe the entire phone and radio firmware and other stuff.
If you use and SBF file using rsd, you are now on a different motorola version/platform.
I would recommend NOT stopping there. The GOT sbf is a useful starting point because it does 2 things at once: the vulnerable recovery and the new radio files. But as an operating system...it is FULL of bugs. It is a motorla leak from something like october.
There have been MANY since then. I would apply CM6 or at the very least a more recent moto leak (the 1-25 nandroid wors very well).

so first I flash with rds light 4.9 'GOT_RTEU_2_2_1FULL'
then install OpenRecovery-3_3
then use OpenRecovery-3_3 to upgrade 'update-cm-6.1.2-0.07-11.01.28-Milestone-signed' 0.07-11.01.2 and that should be it?
I'll start flashing...hope no errors

Just pick the 2.2 ROM that takes your fancy. 2.3 is still a bit bleeding edge so will have some bugs.

You are forgetting 2 important steps (read the CM6 install instructions)
1) Do a "WIPE DALVIK CACHE" and "WIPE CACHE PARTITION before installing CM
(you can do this from Open Recovery or Androidiani recovery).
2) You need to install the latest GAPPS for CM6 (check the CM6 guide for link) or you won't have Gmail, Market and all other Gstuff.
Hope this helps!

I do not find latest GAPPS for CM6. i found something on http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps , but i do not know witch should i download for milestone (medium-tiny (Tiny), medium (MDPI), or high (HDPI), and how to install it after download.

You need the HDPI version. To install, simply put the zip file in the same folder as CM6 and and follow the same process. (Place in openrecovery/updates and use the install update.zip feature of open recovery.
You will have all google stuff after this.

1) i have never tried to change this setting. Best to ask in the question in the CM6 thread in the dev section.
2) if you want a consisent SDcard experience between wipes, look up the apps2ext module and feature (search the forum). It works better for this sort of thing. It is a non native way to store apps and data on the sd card (special ext2 partition) by tricking android into thinking it is writing to the internal storage.
By the way, no need to do a full wipe when upgrading a ROM. This is only recommend when switching ROMs.

Not all applications are recomended to install on SD. That cause problem and the phone restart eventually.

Hello Everyone,

1)Is there a way to back up the current ROM (i.e. Default ROM) ??
2)Any software or trick that can backup all the contacts ,settings and everything to the sd card...
3)I have read at many places that after you install some ROMS you can't connect to the service provider so you have to take back up of baseband and things like that??how to do that??
4)Please can you suggest some good ROMS that are fast,stable and bug free but the problem m facing with the updated stock f/w is that my phone restarts twice n is hellishly sluggish..?!?
The icons keep loading times and again..M ready to experiment as long as it's safe to install that ROM..Please help me out..

Backing up current ROM -> Nandroid backup I believe
Contacts -> Synched with Google account, the rest use Titanium Backup
Baseband -> Install OpenRecovery and there will be an option to change the baseband
ROM-wise, our Milestones will always work very well with Froyo compared to Gingerbread. If you wish, FroyoMOD is the best Froyo ROM out there. For Gingerbread, I suggest iceandfire.
There is a sticky in the Milestone development forum, it has everything you need to know about flashing OR, Custom ROMs, etc.
Hope that helps.

If you read the stickies, the odds of you bricking your phone are fairly rare. And even at that, most phones are easy to revert.

Okay, ROM Manager does NOT work on Milestone. What you want to do is flash the vulnerable recovery from this site: http://android.doshaska.net/rootable depending on your bootloader version. To see which one you have you need to go into bootloader mode (power button and d-pad up), it will show you the bootloader version and then you will know which sbf you need. You need to flash this via RSD Lite.

I downloaded pretty much all the softwares..Please can you please tell me about these exceptions?? anyone
Possible issues you may encounter:
1. If the RSD lite does not activate the Start button after you open the SBF file, you need to rename the SBF file to some simple short name, eg. recovery.sbf, and to put it to some simple short path, e.g C:\recovery.sbf (known Windows Vista / 7 issue).
2. "E:EOCD marker occurs after start of EOCD E:signature verification failed" error after you apply the update.zip in recovery means that you do not have the vulnerable recovery on your phone.
If you applied an OTA update before, there is a script run at every system boot that checks and re-flashes the recovery when its checksum doesn't match. In such case, you have to avoid booting to android after the vulnerable recovery flash. Boot directly to recovery when RSD Lite restarts the phone (hold camera button) and from there remove the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file.
rm -f /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
A script for OpenRecovery is attached (install OpenRecovery and put the script to /sdcard/OpenRecovery/scripts before you flash the vulnerable recovery). Later in OpenRecovery, the first thing you should do is to run this script from the Run Script menu.

tell me about the 2nd exception..
Also I have un-installed the ROM manager so can I now directly flash Vulnerable recovery the sbf file??? or do I have to do some ritual before that...??
no reboot for me yet in 10 days with the latest miui .. battery is good .. when i go to sleep say 8-9 hrs i lose only 10% .. so thts good for a GB rom .. interface is little different so u can enjoy tht ..
my calls usage is abt 4-5 hrs in a day n say 30 mins of whatsapp usage .. gmail sync is on .. play little angry birds rio .. so it lasts a day ..
another update is coming i guess in few days which will improve the performance further ..

So it's promising tell me as you just loaded the rom did you do anything extra??as in activating mms or anything like that..or is the rom complete in itself??Also since you have overclocked the cpu so the phone must be running really hot??

No random reboots so far since I flashed Cronos ver.1.4 on 30th of May.

Cronos Ginger ver.1.4 - Overnight Battery Drain Test
I always perform the same benchmark test with any new ROM that I flash to gauge for myself how much battery it drains on idle/standby.
Condition:
Data Connection: 2G only
Google Contacts Sync: On
Google Calendar Sync: On
Gmail Sync: On
Talk: On
Result:
I have also tweaked it with Autokiller Memory Optimizer with the following settings:
Hidden app: 24
Content provider: 28
Empty app: 30

I was trying to know that if u used the phone for like 4-5 hours talking 30-45 mins browsing or texting would the battery last more than a day???but does the battery hold after about 24-30 hours with no charging??? n with normal usage??
Oh and could you plz share the links the rom??

Usage differs with every individual. What is light usage for me might not be for you.
Best way is to test it yourself.
Just remember to make a Nandroid backup of your current ROM so that u can always restore back should u decide that u don't like a particular ROM.
Why don't you register at the forum so that u can post questions to the developer? Head over to http://www.cronosproject.org/forum/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=1794

Tell me about the battery life,hanging or restarting frequencies(how many times does it restart)..??
Looks really great though...
Okay, ROM Manager does NOT work on Milestone. What you want to do is flash the vulnerable recovery from this site: http://android.doshaska.net/rootable depending on your bootloader version. To see which one you have you need to go into bootloader mode (power button and d-pad up), it will show you the bootloader version and then you will know which sbf you need. You need to flash this via RSD Lite.

Directly flashing the VR sbf will remove any recoveries you should have on your phone.

[ROM][CWM] Honeycomb 3.1 - Touchwiz UX - WIFI - DEODEXED (Updated 7/22/2011)

Pretty basic release. This is a deodexed version of the touchwiz wifi update.zip available in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167250
I have not changed anything else in this ROM (though I am now working on a more streamlined touchwiz ROM using this deodexed version)
So no, this ROM is not meant to improve performance or fix any bugs from the stock touchwiz update. A deodexed ROM simply makes it possible/easier for devs to create patches that can address these issues, make themes, etc.
Warning: I am not responsibile for any damage you do to your device from flashing this update. Please be careful and follow the instructions below, and use at your own risk!
md5: 5a6a04a24f7f799b1b122d9e445110b2
Uploaded 7/22/2011: http://www.multiupload.com/WTU98VP2D5
-Fixed WiFi issue (thanks to DocRambone for the fix)
-Fixed /system not being wiped properly during update
Installing:
Download and place somewhere on your /sdcard directory
Boot into CWM
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Wipe /data and /cache (you can skip this if you had flashed the r4-7/19/2011 previously)
Install this zip from sdcard

Rooting:
Flash su_busybox_misc-sam_tab_10.1-051511.zip using CWM / Rom Manager: http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/tools/su_busybox_misc-sam_tab_10.1-051511.zip
---
Before reporting any bugs please make sure you have followed these directions. If you are getting a boot loop you most likely missed one of the steps above.
If you are getting the "service temporarily unavailable message" you need to sign into your google account, it should go away after you do that
Have fun themeing and modding!

Thanks to:
pershoot - for the update.zip and the rooting zip
mughalgxt - for finding and sharing the stock touchwiz update

Does this mean i am the first...
To try this.....HMMMMM - let me sleep over it.
Oh - what the heck!

is this intended to be any less laggy or faster than other roms? Thanks for your hard worK!

Interesting....very interesting. Might have to give this a look-see...

No, this update will make it possible to create and use modified versions of the apps + framework resources contained within the touchwiz ROM (i.e create themes, etc)

Damnit i just want panning and zooming working is it working on this one maybe deoxing it helped it work somebody willing to tesT?

Nice work here.

Are you talking about the special tilt / pan control? Just tested that, still doesnt work, but it may be possible now to patch the problem if someone can find it (in the deodexed resources).

Yeah I like the zoom feature, that's why I went back to the stock 3g touchwiz rom

Yeah i still didnt go back to stock 3g im just hoping somebody can find it in this deoxed rom but lets see

Can you pleaseeeee hook me up with the 3g touchwiz .zip??? IV looked everywhere! My tab is sooo slow with the wifi version but the 3g version, even with errors, was smoking fast! Thanks!

Do I need to flash root, right after flashing the ROM? I tried to flash, without rooting right after and got caught in a boot loop. Restoring right now...but would like to flash touchwiz

I don't think it really matters when you flash root bro. Make sure you are using pershoots tools pack though.

The linked root zip is optional, you don't have to flash right after, you can flash it whenever (but dont use any of the other rooting zips available for this tab, the linked one is the only compatible version). Your bootloop is probably caused by not wiping /data+/cache or the davlik cache. Follow the instructions in first post.

Did you try without ROM Manager the first time? If not try that first to be sure. Also provide device info please (wifi/3g/io/retail/v). I have not had any other reports of bootloops from people that were wiping data+cache+dalvik properly. You can try formatting /system (under CWM mount / storage menu option) if you are still getting this after manually doing everything through CWM at boot.

are you sure thats the 3G version? I went to download it and my pc sees it as exactly the same as the new wifi version... thank you sooo much for it either way! good looking out!!!

Wifi Retail, Locked Bootloader
I am downloading it again to make sure its nothing weird with the zip. Every time I have flashed it was CWM not in the ROM Manager. Should I try that instead?

No if its not working in CWM it wont work if you do it through ROM manager. Redownload and verify the md5 hash from the original post. Boot into CWM recovery, wipe everything mentioned and retry.
