I have O2 XDA III (german), with radio rom v.1.10.0.
I've tried to find the way how to backup that rom and upload it to FTP. Can someone tell me how to do that. I've searched the wiki, but I didn't found the real solution.
Do I need to use XDArit or XDAtools? Can I do it under Win98, or I need WinXP/2000?
I have SD card and SD card reader.
I've described the process here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18128#98117
You can do this under Win98.

I've tried this and it doesn't work. When I press ok, I don't get terminal window. I've also tried this using COM2 (thats my modem) and it works fine, but with usb I don't get nothing
you should terminate Activesync before running MTTY. Kill processes wcescomm.exe and wcesmgr.exe with task manager and enter bootloader on your device (press and hold power+camera buttons and reset). The screen would write "serial ...", insert it into cradle, screen would write "USB ...". Run MTTY, select "usb" or "\\.\wcescom01" port and everything should work.
And don.t forget to do a backup, this will hard reset your device.
Thanks in advance for sharing your Radio! I've asked in any Forum, i know, but nobody seemed to cooperate. So it is great hearing somebody helps us.

The problem was in win98, in WinXP everything worked fine. So, this stuff doesn't work with win98. When I backuped it, I couldn't transfer the backup on my computer (ntrw transfers 256Mbytes and says that something is wrong with the image). I think the problem is that I have MMC card, not SD card. I should get SD card today, and I hope that everything will work then.
Hope the upload will work, just put it in the root dir, as you can not put it in any of the folders.
Curious to see if this further improves GSM/GPRS etc...cheers!
Can't wait to hear the feedback on the 1.10 radio. I was going to go 1.08 but seems like a waste when this one is so close.
Ok, HappyGoat, do you have the path you saved too for this magic Radio?
1.08 is nice, works fine. Of course I must upgrade for no reason other than insanity, hence Im looking for the file.
Thanks
Rich
Is it also possible to extract the whole ROM from your device, so that I can update my SPV M2000 with your O2 ROM?
Any news about this new radio rom?

The Radio 1.08.00 is available again on the ftp server. Have a look in the BlueAngel folder, it's in there.
Any progress on getting the radio 1.10.00 version...?
I've borrowed SD card from a friend, and I have to bring it back until saturday. So, I need some quick answers.
It is 256Mbyte SD card. I've done the procedure of backup like instructed. You can see my log in attachment.
After that I put the card in Transcend 7 in 1 card reader. I've used ntrw to backup the SD on my computer, but something is wrong. It creates 256MByte file on my computer. The picture of console window is in attachment. I did like I was instructed, and i've also tried "d2s" (to backup only WinCE) and all combinations (only Radio Rom etc.), but the result is the same.
Any suggestions? I really need to do this quickly.
Try this command in DOS:
Code:
C:\ntrw read XDAIIs.nb1 i:
Just might work, not sure. In either case, thanks alot for trying and sharing this with us...
No ideas?

DreamerNS,
it is normal that you get a 256MB file, because your card has this kind of size!
The ntrw tool makes a full copy of your SD card it don't know how much data on your card is stored.
So make a full backup of your XDA, zip the 256MB file and upload the file to the ftp site.
Greetings

No. It is just filename, you can put anything you like there. it can be xdaIIs.nb1 or xdaIII.nb1 or IdontKnow.nb1 it doesnt change things, but thanks anyway.
It's too much for me to upload 256Mbytes. I have only dialup connection. Is there any way to extract radio rom from 256Mbyte file? If everything is allright, why is it says "ReadFile(): xdaIII.nb1 -- parameter is incorect"?
DreamerNS,
The unused bytes in the 256MB file will probably be zeros, and should compress to just a few kb.
Back in the days when mp3 FTP sites were all the rage (before P2P) I used to take advantage of highly compressable data like that. Sometimes you'd get a site where you'd have to upload a certain amount of MP3s before you could download. All you'd have to do is create a huge black .BMP file and rename it .mp3. Thanks to dial up modems automatic compression, you could upload a 10MB "mp3" in seconds! Hehehe

Going back to the problem, is I: the correct drive letter for your card reader's SD slot?

ADP builds of Android do not have TMobile apps such as Amazon MP3. This has been discussed ad nauseum if you had bothered to search.

It's a protected app. If you need it that bad that I suggest you go back to an RC build and do research before blindly flashing whatever build of Android is at the top of the forum.

If you still have the RC firmware you can just unzip it copy the amazon apk out and install it into the adp the amazon works. I dont think anyone has the IM app working though
We should have an official rc update from tmobile real soon, which will have amazon mp3, myfavs, etc...
Just open a RC33 update.zip and extract the file from /system/app. Then you can install it by adb push.
Verified as working. I just added it to the app folder of Dudes 1.1 build and then did the update and it works just great. Purchased and downloaded a song to verify.
Here it Is
http://droiddeveloper.com/com.amazon.mp3.zip
enjoy it works for me...
Really Bad,
In Germany it cannot charge my creditcard... It has enough money on it.
I have the dude's 1.5 version, and cant seem to get it running. It forces closed upon trying to open. Any thought? It is saved to my SD in the app folder.
TIA

TY SolemnWishing, this is how I got the app on my SD card to begin with - yours is a very helpful thread for a n00b like me. Unfortunately, I was never able to get the app to open. I am not sure how I could have messed it up - pretty simple, I navigate to the app folder on my SD and click the apk file which proceeds to install Amazon MP3. No go.
If you have any ideas on what the problem might be I would appreciate the input.
Thanks again for your great tutorial
Hmm... I assume you deleted the .zip and renamed it to .apk, what firmware are you using?
I am using firmware 1.5. Yes I renamed to apk. I wants to work, just force closes before it fully loads. I also have this problem with oi music player. It used to work, now no longer loads. I wonder if my SD card is the problem. It is 8 gb, but I am sure only like a class 2 card.
Strange. I have JF 1.5 and installed the Amazon app the normal way for any app on the G1 and have rebooted several times. The app still works. I thought if you did not push the app to the G1 it would need to be reinstalled each time you reboot the device?
Well, I am pretty positive it was my SD card - after writing my post this morning I pulled the SD card and have not been anble to get the phone back since. This thread pretty accuratly describes what is going on...long story short, i think I fried my SD card and as a result am stuck on Splash 2. I have wiped several times...

uggg...all for mp3's!!!! any thoughts and lots of luck would be appreciated.

Ahh I did the same thing. Here is what you need to do, you will need to force format it. Windows will NOT detect the card, and it may even freeze your computer. Put the phone into another device, such as a palm pilot or another cell phone and format it from there. It shouldn't take very long, and when it is completed, it will likely say the memory card only has 5Kb or so of memory on it. NOW insert the card into your computer and reformat it into a FAT32 format (+Ex2 for apps to SD) and you should be good! Of course, you will need to reload all your files though. That will fix your SD card. As for your phone... you will need to completely reflash a new firmware onto it, as right now starting up your phone is looking for items on your SD card which it may need, which no longer exist.
edit: if that doesn't work, completely start from the beginning by flashing the dreamimg.nbh file for rooting.
I was able to reformat the SD card, lost all my backups of course, and had to reflash dreaming.nbh and start from scratch. No biggy, at least i still have my phone.
thanks for all the tips...once i get my card re-partioned, I will try the Amazon.apk again.

I got it to load - thanks for all your help.

No problem at all, glad I could help.
Hello everybody,
I try to root my 1.6 G1 for many days now. Followed many more tutorials. TheUnlockr, YouTube, XDA-Dev and other Android-Forums.
The problem is an error message when I try to flash the 1.5 Update. Everytime it says "00028002 Not allow". Tried the flashing process with so many DREAIMG.nbh's from different websites. Tried the US and the UK Version but nothing, really nothing worked.
And now, after Google and all these tutorials didn't work, I ask you for help. I hope that i won't get stupid posts =)
Thanks in advance!
did you format to FAT32?
I really don't know. I normally use Mac OS X 10.6.2 and don't know how to format there. Under Windows 7 which I use with BootCamp I right-clicked the SD-Card and selected "format..." but then there is an error message too like "not found". I don't have an adapter for the microSD. Do you have any Tips for me?
i'm not sure about other ways to format (anyone, lend a hand please?) but i think you need it to be FAT32.
EDIT: disk utility. i think you can get it there. just backup beforehand.
I Googled for formatting under Macintosh. FAT works, but there's no option for FAT32... Really need help.
Could anyone post me the "best" files/tutorial for downgrading a german G1, please?

Well read the edit in my post. Some say Disk Utility works for FAT32, some say it doesn't. Hmm, i don't have macintosh so i can't really try it ATM.
Disk Utility was what I tried. But I just have these options:
4 times "Mac OS X Extended" and "MS-DOS Dateisystem (FAT)". Don't think that this is right.
But do you have a link to a tutorial for rooting a german G1 at 1.6? Because the files I downloaded always had different sizes and I don't know which the right one is/was?

Fat32 might be a windows only format just like EXT is a linux only format, so you will need to find a program that can do it like paragon or have a friend format it on their computer.
I do have Windows but it always says that the SD card can't be found. Don't know why.
I connect the G1 to my MacBook and run Windows 7. I mount USB and choose the SD card in Windows. Then I right-click on it and say "format...". After that it seems that the G1 automatically dismounts the SD card so that Windows can't find it...
Edit: How does the G1 itself format the SD card?
Edit 2: After formatting G1 in Mac (MS-DOS (FAT)) it said that something's wrong with the SD card and Android wanted me to format it again. I did it but Windows doesn't find the SD card anymore -.-'
Edit 3: G1 also doesn't find the SD card anymore xD
Formatted the SD card to FAT32 but the problem doesn't disappear...
Will try it now with RC7 instead of RC29. Don't think that it'll work because I already tried this before but who cares...
Edit: RC7 also doensn't work. I tried to install the "signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca" update too. But after a while it says "Installation aborted"... I really need help!!

Alright put your sd card back into your g1. Unmount it in settings, then format it from there. When it's done, plug your g1 back into your computer or use and sd card reader (Personally, I prefer the card reader.) I use a mac based laptop as well, but i put windows on it as a partition. (I needa play my games ) See if your computer detects it now. And what do you mean that the problem doesn't disappear? Wasn't your problem the fact that the card didn't format?
No, the original problem is/was, that I can't get back to 1.5. No matter what file I choose, this damn "00028... Not Allow" problem appears everytime.

Na bra... go ahead an try one more thing..
Macs by default automatically unzip files when downloaded from the internet.
So if this is the case, the file your downloading isn't in the correct format (atleast for the phone). You can even try re-zipping the file but its not gonna work. This happened to me, the only way to fix it is to change the Mac preferences to not automatically unzip/open/handle files downloaded. Its been so long I cant remember the right steps in order to do this. But Im pretty sure thats why you're getting hung up. If you have a Windows availible to you, try downloading it again on the PC and moving it to your SD and see if it works Oo. Or just change your Mac settings and redownload. This MIGHT be your problem.
On second though, this might not be your problem. But maybe worth a try.

Looking at your info, I'm assuming you're using a German G1
If that's the case I'm pretty sure you have to use the goldcard method to downgrade your G1 then root.
I'm not 100% sure on this, but based on what you've already tried and the flag below your location and post count, it might be a good idea to read up on it and try another method.
Check this thread out for a little more detail
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485364
@nopotential: So, could you tell me how to change this in the settings? 'Cause I right-clicked on a .zip, chose "open with..." and said "The unarchiver". Then i said "always open with" but it doesn't work...
@jackslim: I do have Windows 7 and the MacBook Pro does have a SD card reader but I do not have an adapter... Is there any chance to do this without a WM Device (If this is also Windows 7 ^^)?!
@all: Does anybody have a good downgrading tutorial für GERMAN/EUROPEAN G1s that worked for him/her too? That would be really nice.
By the way: What time is it in the US now? Is it in the morning?!
I'm just piecing together bits of other information I've found on various posts, so this may or may not work. Since you'll be using a macbook you should be able to dd to the sdcard
The first thing you need to do is get the CID of your SD Card
You can do this with adb, if you need help setting up adb see here
After ADB is setup
*Make sure on your phone you go to settings -> applications -> development and make sure USB Debugging is checked
check that it is working by opening a terminal and using
Code:
adb devices (enter)
If you see a serial number it's working, if not refer back to the adb setup guide and check for what you may have missed. If you seen a serial number do the next step
Code:
adb shell (enter)
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid (enter)
Now you should have the CID of your SD Card (write it down exactly). If you know an easier way to get this info directly from your macbook, feel free to try it that way.
Once you have your CID, go to this website scroll to the bottom, enter your email and cid as directed to, then wait for the email with your goldcard img
Once you recieve your goldcard.img, on your mac open a terminal, go to the directory you saved the goldcard.img to and
Code:
dd if=goldcard.img of=/path/to/your/sdcard bs=384 (enter)
*Note: Change /path/to/your/sdcard to what it actually is
Now add DREAIMG.nbh to the SD Card, and reboot your phone into the bootloader Camera + Power **Cross Fingers While You Wait*** And hopefully it will work
I don't have a Mac, never even used a Mac. I'm just piecing bits of information from different posts in an attempt to assist you downgrade. Although none of these steps should cause any damage to your Macbook/PC/Phone/House/Leg/Car or grandchildren. Try these steps at your own risk
And inresponse to the current time in the US, it's approximately 11:10 am on the eastern coast
Whoa, thanks for this. I don't know how to show you how thankful I am in english ^^
At the moment I'm not able to try this 'cause I'm busy but I'll post the result of it =)
Thanks again.
Also see this post
It specifically says for a Dutch phone, but I think most continental G1's that are having the downgrade problem require the same method to fix it
I have been trying to install android to NAND on my bell Vogue with no success. I had an early build of MYN's rom installed but I switched back to WM for a while because of battery life issues with android. Now that those issues have been taken care of I would like to switch back to android permanently.
I have been following all of the directions that I have read, but cannot seem to access the installer menu. I have tried holding down volume up, center d-pad and touching the middle of the screen and none of them will work.
I am coming from NFSFAN's latest WM rom with the radio fully updated. I am flashing the most recent Vogue images that I can find and it still doesn't seem to work.
Is there something that I am doing wrong? is there an alternative method to get a permanent install of android?

yes i see all the text, but after it tells me to hold the center button to enter the menu it just continues along and tries to load android (which is not yet installed) and so it fails.

try this - do a pinhole (soft) reset, then just after you feel the double buzz, give a good tap in the middle of the screen and hold it.
Ok, Will do. I will try that again... I have tried the middle of the screen before and I have tried holding from as early as right after boot to as late as right when it gives the hold message.
Still no luck... Does anybody else have any ideas as to what might be going wrong?
Also, would it be possible to run via haret and then install to nand somehow?
I tried to install to SD card and I still could not access the installer!
All of my buttons work, but for some reason they are not getting me into the installer. I think this issue started about the time they switched to holding center D-pad instead of volume up.
could I just use an old Vogue img file?
looking for any other ideas!

What method of install are you using norootfs or the old way
I have been using norootfs. I have never used sqsh would it be possible to install that way?
EDIT: I am trying the SQSH method, but it seems like this is not a permanent install, is that correct? I would really like to be able to run android permanently.

What files do have in the andboot folder
When I was trying to install to NAND all I had in the andboot folder was the androidinstall.tar
when trying the SD card install I used all of the files included in MYN's download.
i am using an 8gb microsd HC card formatted FAT32 which I think is what it is supposed to be.

you don't have haret or a nbh file in the andboot folder

I have been trying all sorts of different versions. Most recently I have tried to install incubus26Jc's superfroyo RLS10 to no avail. Whatever I do I simply cannot get to the installer menu!

I have been trying to unroot my nook color because I am unable to log into my Google account so I can't access the Market (can't establish a reliable connection to Google server). I guess I kind of screwed it up when trying to update from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0. Not sure what's going on there. I've tried to unroot by interrupting the boot 8 times along with all the other methods (ADB Shell is beyond me). When I interrupt the root, on about the 8th time it automatically boots into the clockwork recovery and I can't unroot from there. Any solutions to either of my problems would be greatly appreciated. Currently still on 1.0.0.

I'm having a hard time turning the clockwork_1gb-0.4.tar.gz file into a .img file. I've tried it with winimage and win32diskimager and I can't get the programs to recognize the file.
Did you extract it first? If you have, try getting a linux live cd and using dd, winimage doesnt always work.
I'm kind of a noob to all this stuff and I don't know how to extract this type of file. Is there any way you could post the .img file?
If you just click on the file, it should extract. Or maybe right click on it. Sorry, I'm on a mac so don't know the exact Windows menu structure.
Thanks for the help. I was able to resolve this issue by installing the CWR remover.
