Hi guys, I'm new to Android, swaped my 3Gs for a N1, I manually updated the phone to FW 2.3.3 (GRI40), the phone is stock, no root, no custom firmware.
The phone randomly loses network connectivity, (no network available message on display) I can't connect using 3G but I can with Wi-Fi, can't make phone calls, only way to fix this is to reboot the phone or switch airplane mode on/off.
I have radio version 5.08.00.04, kernel 2.6.35.7-59423-g08607d4.
I like this phone and don't want to swap it for an iPhone 4, but this issue is starting to get on my nerves, please let me know if there is a fix for this.
Root and flash cm7.2. Has more goodness than others. Then flash Inexus theme to make it eyecandy when look at and google apps package.

BTW - this is one of many options.
Theres a lot of eager people who (perhaps incorrectly) think CM is the answer to everything...

Ok, I tried everything and nothing seems to work, I reverted back to FRG33, but I can't root the device, everything fails, I can't go back to EPE76 or something else, I get the old version error.
I can't update to 2.2.1 or anything higher than that (including moded GRI40 versions) because I get the signature error.
Basically I can only install FRG33 or GRI40 (stock FW), the phone works fine on FRG33 but I would like to be able to install 2.2.2 (FRG83G i think), cause the 2.3.3 is just crap, reminds me of some older iPhone firmwares.
So, what should I do, cause i'm out of ideeas, please keep in mind that this is my first android phone when you explain something.
Thanks.
You can either root, or flash the updates one at a time:
FRG33> FRG83> FRG83D> FRG83G> GRI40...

I tried that but it doesn't work, I receive the no signature error.
I got the fw from the wiki.
Strange...
Just for a sanity check, make sure that the files you downloaded aren't a zip within a zip, and MD5 check for integrity...

I checked the archives, everithing is fine, I done a factory reset and tried again with the same result.
I am on FRG33 now (I flashed the rom using passimg.zip copied on the SD), trying to update to FRG83, I got the ROM's from here. I receive this error:
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
This sh**t is driving me mad.
I got bootloader 0.35.0017 and it's unlocked.
You're unlocked?
Are you running a custom recovery (Ra)?
Have you turned signature verification off?

I bought this phone from a guy, and I don't know exactly what he has done with it before but when I go into bootloader (trackball+power) I get a line that says unlocked, I don't know exactly what it means, it's like the one in the attachment.
It means your bootloader is unlocked. Basically, you now have the ability to install images to the phone through fastboot on the PC.

After a few hours of reading and rom download I managed to update 2.2 to 2.2.1 using this rom "766a101ae02c.signed-passion-ota-60505.766a101a.zip" not sure where I downloaded it from but worked like a charm and then I applied the the updates to get to 2.2.2 (FRG83G).
And now, how do I root? I tried SuperOneClick, I installed the USB drivers etc, the software runs, it installs superuser on my phone, the SOC SU test is OK but I installed Terminal on the phone and the SU command returns access denied, also I installed Root Manager and it doesn't start because it doesn't have sufficient permissions, I have no pop-up when opening to grant root access to Root Manager.
Any ideas?
I finally managed to root my phone thanks to Danger-Rat's super easy tutorial you can find here
Thanks for all the help.
I followed this steps from http://androidandme.com/2010/01/hacks/video-how-to-unlock-and-root-a-nexus-one/ to root my Nexus One. Details:
Android version on the phone: 2.2.2
Recovery image: recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829)
Cyanogen’s N1 Addon: nexus-addon-0.1-signed.zip (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613812)
After I flushed the Cyanogen’s N1 Addon and reboot the phone, the screen didn't display anything. Only the very first Nexus One logo and the unlock logo shown up. However, the phone seemed to work. First, I can slide and unlock the screen, then the phone vibrates if I click those four buttons underneath the screen. Although I cannot see anything, I know roughly where the unlock sliding bar is. Second, I can connect to the phone through "adb shell" and "su" works as well.
It seems to me that the problem is about Cyanogen’s N1 Addon crashing something about the display. I didn't backup nandroid before flushing (stupid stupid stupid mistake). Is there any way I can revert the flushing? Should I flush any stock image? I'm not sure which stock image to use, because I don't know which parts Cyanogen’s N1 Addon changed.
Any help will be appreciated.
Dude! That add on is seriously old...
You probably have an SLCD phone, and that add in not compatible and so can't display any images. Just find a more up to date ROM, and install that...
Try CM7-RC3 from here:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=RC&device=passion
You will also need to flash a compatible gapps package...

Flash CM7.

Thanks! Yeah, I got this phone as a dev phone directly from Google recently. I guess that's probably why. I will give CM7-RC3 a try.
By the way, do you know where I can find the official stock ROM of this Nexus One? I found one here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614057 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850, but it seems to be too old as well.
The xda wiki is usually a good starting point, though it doesn't appear to have a direct link to the GRI40 ROM...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Roms

Just added a GRI40 link...

I tried CM7-RC3 and it worked like a charm. Thanks, man.
I got a question. Regarding the stock ROM, I found "GRI40" show in "Setting" -> "About Phone" -> "Build number". I didn't notice what it was before I flush CM7-RC3. So is "GRI40" the build number for Android 2.3.3 in general or it's specific to Nexus? Is the stock GRI40 ROM in the wiki you mentioned created by HTC or Google? I'm a little confused here.
GRI40 is the latest build from Google for the N1, and the source code was used by the CM team to build the newer versions of CM7.

I have the G1 since it came out on T-Mobile. Since then I have moved on to Samsung Vibrant, original Galaxy Tab and currently on the international Galaxy Tab 7.7 as my phone and tab. I would like the xda community help in unlocking my G1 for a backup phone on my current sim. One thing to know, I am no longer using T-Mobile, I am on Straight Talk. I have been looking online to find a way to get it unlocked but all I come up with is, steps to unlock using the unlock code from T-Mobile (again I am no longer with T-Mobile) this is no use to me, or just follow links to websites where you pay for the code (would not trust them).
Is there a way to unlock it without the need of an unlock code? The original Galaxy Tab was able to be unlocked using Terminal Emulator by a member here on xda, would this be possible to do on the G1? Another option that is not good for me is ADB as I have no clue how to use it, I am okay using terminal emulator if given the correct code. I greatly appreciate your help and looking forward to your suggestions.
solved.......
Ok, since i was not getting any info here i decided to go ahead and pay for the unlock code. I used http://www.unlock-htc.com/unlocking-HTC.php, even though i was a bit sceptical, they accept paypal so at least i could fight the charge if any issues came up. Also i was able to root my G1 using this site http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/23/how-to-root-the-htc-g1-dream-androot-method/. So now i have an unlocked and rooted G1. Next up flashing a rom, maybe.
yeah unlike some other phones no one has been able to sim unlock these phones without a code, at least to my knowledge. the only other way I know off for you to have gotten a code for free would be to try and contact htc directly or have some one you know with tmobile get it for you
I have rooted many g1s over time but never used androot, I have heard it works fine
you will definetly want to try out some newer roms, so many better than stock. and look into upgrading your radio/spl as well as a custom recovery to make all the new rom flashes easier

well if you rooted with androot you should be ok, you now need to flash a custom recovery, I suggest amonra (also there is an app in the market that checks for root, I suggest use it to make sure) if you are rooted and have the sdk package on computer proceed
get a terminal emulator from the market as well as superuser and linda file manager, amonra image, put it on the root of sd card and rename it to recovery.img (if on windows it may auto put extention in there so name it just recovery)
open terminal emulator and type
su
then type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
wait a minute or so

you will need to get adb.exe and fastboot.exe and the proper drivers for those programs installed on your computer to do a full upgrade of your radio/spl.
there are ways around this but it will be much easier and faster in the future if you have this.
also safer to flash firmware via fastboot as apposed to recovery

find a thread called adb for dummies or something along those lines, it has a mini package in it with all the required programs and files to do minimal work (adb, fastboot, drivers, etc) it also explains how to use these functions (just a quick basic idea anyway)
the sdk package is big if you download everything, and unless you start learning to develop roms and or apps most of it will seem usless to you
your other option is to just root the phone the old fasioned way, following the cyanogen wiki completley starting with the downgrading with the dreaming.nbh file
I've used this method o so many times, the first time took me manybe half an hour because I had to read up on it and understand it. now when I root a g1 I'm done in about 10 mins with rooting, upgrading to the latest radio/spl and installing a custom rom and recovery. so in other words it isn't too hard or time consumming and you may have less issues

Ok so I figured out where I was going wrong, I needed to downgrade to RC29.
So I followed cyanogen wiki and did the following:
Downgraded to RC29
Installed Amon_Ras latest recovery image
Upgraded radio to 2.22.23. 02
Spl 1.33.2005
Then I tried to install cm 5.0.8 (the links for cm 6 are not working) it flashed properly but then it just gets stuck on the G1 screen. I redid all the steps and still same issue. Any suggestions?
PS I did noticed that my original radio is the same as the one I installed using cyanogen wiki, is this correct?
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium
very possibly, that is a stock radio for the g1, did you also flash the gapps/base to cm5? they do not come with gthe rom

well there are many better custom roms then the stock 1.5 or 1.6 but choice is yours of corse
before you switch do you want to still be rooted? this will make a difference in what you do to go back.
also if you want to relock your bootloader as I am assuming you are unlocked and probably s_off or fake s_on
boot into hboot and write down all that is there (power on holding camera)
now boot into recovery and write what you see (either choose reboot recovery from hboot or power on holding home)

well I suggest reading up a bit about how android works before you begin, if you make mistakes there is a chance you can brick your phone. start by reading about the g1 in the xda wiki here (you'll find it easy) next google cyanogen wiki and look for the dream (g1) you will see some explanations of how to root etc. although you are not going to berform these steps I suggest you at least have a understanding of the process. also I would suggest looking for a glossary of terminalogy so you won't get confused when reading through this.
on a phone right now so you will have to google and search this on your own.
one of the main things I need to know about your phone is the radio and spl you are on (will matter how to change roms)
to check the simplest way is to turn off phone, then hold the camera button while powering on - this will bring you to your bootloader (also called hboot and spl - secondary program loader)
on this screen there will be information about your firmware, just simply write all of this down and post it here... after that we can keep going

OK, still I'm familiar with the process of rooting and installing roms, I own a galaxy phone and I use clockwork mod to apply my roms that way, and I install rooted kernels so my root is supplied with the rom. I am familiar with the terminology and such. But with an old phone such as the G1, is this bootloader the only way to install a new rom? Or is there a way to get RomManager working? Such as an older version of the free version apk?
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda premium
you can use rom manager but I advise against it, with any phone really. its ok but you can run into problems and if you aren't familiar with the basics you can easily get stuck and not know what to do next, so with any phone my opinion on rom manager is stay away but it can work fine.
no, just like with your smamsung all phones have a bootloader of sorts and this kinda like bios in windows, think of it as the firmware that boots the os.
these are some reasons why I think you should learn some terminology and read up so I (or others) don't have to write up lengthy explanations of this stuff)
in the bootloader there will be information on what firmware is on your phone, you won't be flashing roms in here just need the info. for the most part you will be using your recovery to flash roms
so if you could write that information down it will be easier to know what to flash otherwise I will have to guess

But this doesn't make that much sense, with my other Android phones, I just flash clockwork mod with stock recovery and then I flash a rom in, why does firmware matter?? Its a g1 so wouldn't I just be able to go in with stock recovery and flash the stock as an update.zip? Why is this information you need so nessacary?? If its and android phone, can I just install clockwork mod through stock recovery and go from there??

Ill provide the baseband number if you need it, i didnt know if Im supposed to give that out. BTW, here are some things i found suspicious with this phone, im providing some pictures to show you this isnt stock as well.
yeah I think it may be stock but branded to so chinese carrier, it doesn't appear to be rooted.
my guess, being you from us, you don't want to have a phone with an os ment for china, I couldn't tell you if its slower than stocked branded for tmobile but my guess is you won't have much of a speed/stabillity upgrade if you change to the tmo stock.
at this point you will need to downgrade and root your phone, you may need to make a goldcard being it is branded to china or whereever but I doubt it.
just follow this guide

yeh well that is where they messed up in the rom, besides if you look at you build number rc83 is not tmobil
either way look @ the splash screen, that is not stock htc or stock tmobil - right now it is very very unlikely you are rooted, and that is why rom manager won't work - if you want to root your phone and if you want a different os then follow the guide, otherwise complain to who you bought it from that you didn't get a us branded phone

well if it has root your next step would be to verify what recovery you have, if it is stock change it to amonra (much better then cw on these phones)
easiest way to change is open terminal emulator and type
su
flash_image recovery/sdcard/recovery.img
of course you will have to have the .img on the root of your sd card and named recovery.img
after that you will have to upgrade your radio and spl to flash the roms you want

Ok so i just need to go into recovery mode and see which recovery im in, then if its stock, then put the amonra recovery on my sd card, change the name to update.zip, and use the terminal to flash it? Then just do the radio upgrade through amonra recovery? And then find the stock rom i want and flash it through amonra?
You will want to name it recovery.img
Yes you will then flash an updated radio in recovery, then flash an upgraded SPL in recovery. Know that flashing the wrong radio or wrong SPL can brick your phone, flash the radio provided in the cyanogen wiki, then the danger SPL, make sure to check the md5sum and that the radio was flashed first, do not rename the .zips keep them as they are (in other words don't call them update.zip)
After this then reboot to recovery, wipe all and flash your ROM of choice, although I wouldn't recommend stock as there are far faster ones with many more features

Hi all, I have looked all over the place, I need help.
Here are my Current "About Device"
Hardware Version: I800.0.3
Model Number: SCH-I800
Firmware: 2.3.5
Baseband Version S:I800.0.3V.E104
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-dsb9938.VZW.GTab.E104.1.1.2
I have looked at the "back to stock" threads, multiple DL links are no longer available.
I had rooted, and Flashed a "Cube" ROM quite some time ago. A while after that I messed something up with the built in "overclocking" type app. Set it to the side and kind of forgot about it. Fast forward to know, I would like to get it working for my son to use, but there are a few issues that keep us from using it. I kept getting all sorts of random force closes, so I was able to get in recovery, and tried to wipe everything. This somewhat worked for a while, but now I am getting a force close from Facebook (which isn't installed, and I have narrowed it down to a contact synching issue) and I keep getting a popup for an OTA system update. I have tried to do the update, but I think the recovery is keeping it from completing.
Long story short, I know this device is a bit older, but where should I start from? I am ok with a fresh, wipe everything start. Not looking for a crazy ROM, but just a everything works ROM. I am ok with GB, ICS, etc, I just want it to be fully functioning. I plan on adding the tablet on my account so I can stop tethering for my son to use it. This has been the only device I have ever needed to ask for help, I am just not so used to the ODIN type stuff.
Thanks in advance.
I tried to do a reset, and wipe from CW recovery. Then restore, it has been stuck on the black with white Samsung screen for about 10 minutes. Don't know what else to do right now.

Much appreciated, long/slow download, but hope it works.
Wish I could get into recovery, I would just flash from the card.

There's a very new thread that should help you get back to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383201
As far as what to put on it, I highly recommend this CM10.1 ROM. It runs very smoothly, but if you want to activate data, I think you have to go back a bit for a working kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2043421 The CDMA version is the p1c.
I don't know if you have come across this yet, but unlike any device I had flashed before, the GTab recovery has to be flashed with a corresponding kernel. You can't just flash the recovery to get into recovery.
