Hey, I really need to update my cyanogen.
My alarms wont go off, get calls and my phone doesn't ring, etc
Phone:
-G1/Dream
Version
-Cyanogen 4.2.9.1
My question is:
Ever since this version,
1) are updates done different, or do i simply have to make the nandroid backup, download update.zip and apply/restart phone.
2)Do i have to do it from the computer, or can I download the update from "CM Updater" and apply it?
3) Can I go directly from 4.2.9.1 to 4.2.13
BUMP
BuMP
BUMP Please
I don't your allowed to bump yourself.
Looking around works great. Taken from Cyan's wiki
and BTW 4.2.15.1 is the newest
Upgrading from 4.1.99 or higher:
1. Download Cyanogen's ROM latest version and place it onto the root of your SD card.
* Magic32A users follow these additional instructions.
2. Boot into Recovery Mode.
3. Choose the "Apply any zip from sd" option.
4. Select the CyanogenMod ROM that you want to upgrade to.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Thought I might want to specify that is for 1.6 only. have to wipe everything to get to the new eclair.

You don't HAVE to wipe but it is highly recommended. I didn't and I went from 4.2.15.1 to 5.0.6test1 to 5.0.6test2. In fact... I haven't had to wipe since JF 1.42!
However you do need to have the DangerSPL and the latest radio to install 5.0.6 (Eclair- 2.1 roms) on G1.
I am very confused.
I have a Motorola Droid on STOCK 2.1 which I would like to root and install a froyo custom ROM. I have read so many guides / articles / posts on the doing so. I have stumbled upon "Guide to Rooting Android 2.1 On A Motorola Droid" at droidlife.com. My question is the following:
The guide says I should flash/install SPRecovery using RSDLite first. This will help me install a rooted ROM. But towards the bottom of the guide I am also told to install ROM Manager to install other custom ROM's. I have read that installing ROM Manager will "disable" the SPRecovery. Is this okay?
Should I use SPRecovery to install the very first rooted ROM onto the phone and then use ROM Manager to install ANY other ROMs thereafter. After I install a rooted ROM (using SPRecovery) will I never use it again after I install ROM Manager. Thanks.
On my wife's Droid, I followed the guide and used SPRecovery to install the original rooted ROM. Then, I put ROM Manager on there to start trying out different ROMs. I haven't used SP since the original flash. You still can flash ROMs with SP, but ROM Manager makes it much easier, especially when you become a flashin' fool, lol. With the SP, you have to rename every ROM you put on there to "update.zip," and they can become difficult to keep track of.
RomManager will ask you to install clockwork. This is fine as it will give you the option to instal SP again if you want.
Honestly I do not know the difference between the two and just let Rom Manager do the work for me.
thank you very much...much clearer...
So it seems i should use SPR to install the first rooted ROM and then go with ROM Manager's Clockwork Recovery to handle any future ROMS thereafter. Please let me know if I misunderstood. Thanks.
That's pretty much the best idea, I flashed sprecovery through terminal then after I installed a custom rom switched to rom manager and clockworkmod recovery. Clockworkmod is a little easier to use if you need to flash manually which I mostly do and has some more features that sprecovery doesn't. The main one being for sprecovery you have to rename all zips to update.zip and keep it in root of sdcard. With clockwork I created a directory with subdirectories for roms themes kernels and etc. You can choose to install a zip in clockwork and navigate to where its stored. A little neater, as well both have backup which is always recommended. The reason for using clockwork is mine has issues with mounting sdcard and system when I choose to flash from rom manager. It reboots to recovery and does it automatically which mine has issues with( can't figure out why) but through recovery its self its convenient. Mostly the only time I have to rename a zip to install is for baseband updates.

Hi,
I just wanted to update manually to Gingerbread.
But I am truly confused with all the version jibber jabber...
My Android version is 2.2.1, Build Number FRG83D and Kernel is 2.6.32.9-g6624e39 [email protected] #1.
My phone is from german Vodafone Company. Maybe it is because of the language? But I do not care about it, use only English anyhow.
Can I update?
Obviously I can not with the just released file, cause I get a "cannot verify".
Or do I have to wait for another file and why?
Thanks!
Do you have Vodafone or Stock Google Android installed? This update works not on the vodafone version.....
You're not even on the latest version of Froyo, of course you won't be able to use the Gingerbread update.
Update to FRG83G with the last link in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11618364&postcount=947
Direct link to FRG83G (from D) http://android.clients.google.com/p...igned-passion-FRG83G-from-FRG83D.2854b06b.zip
How do I switch to the lates stock version that I can update Gingerbread to?
I thought I updated manually to the latest version before...
I really hate this part of Android
edit: oh thanks to the above, guess I'll try that

it seems to me that you are not on the stock android ROM, but you are on a special vodaphone version of the ROM. if this is true, i highly suggest that you get rid of that ROM. that means you should root your phone, gain superuser acces, and install ROM manager.
ROM manager will now let you easily flash a variety of ROMs, just like an official OTA update, and including the stock ROM. so from ROM manager you could switch to stock if you wish, which would let you upgrade to gingerbread. or you can switch to cyanogen, or any other ROM you see in the list.
by far its the best thing to do.
Okay this are the steps I figured so far, if I follow them will I be able to update to Gingerbread?
Any step I forgot?
- Root with this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959672 (yeah I'm on ubuntu)
- then I "download the FRG83 system image from http://developer.htc.com and use fastboot to flash over the system and boot images"
- then I run the update the Gingerbread update

That is what I had to do to get mine working...
So you may help me out cause i'm stuck again.
I have rooted via SuperOneClick now, cause the linux one did not work, blame it on eclipse...anyway.
I installed RomManager as suggested above, but there is no FRG83 to choose from.
So i downloaded the FRG83 from HTC and choose that with RomManager. But it does not install, just backups then reboots and nothing changed.
I also tried to do it manually but if i go to fastboot i can not do anything.
There are only Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader and Power Down.
I named the downloaded zip (http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/signed-passion-img-FRG83_0923.zip), root.zip and placed it in the root of the sd-card.
What am i missing?

I downgraded to stock from my laptop.
You go into fastboot on the device and then on your computer run commands like:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
.
Fastboot in this case is used to restore the stock images from your computer to the device.
You then need to re-apply all the updates.
Just flash the full stock Gingerbread ROM from the dev section. Easy peasy.

Hi all,
I have exactly the same problem as DarsVaeda, and also the same specs:
Nexus One (Vodafone NL)
Android version 2.2.1
Build Number FRG83D
Kernel version 2.6.32.9-g6624e39 [email protected] #1
HBOOT-0.35.0017
RADIO 5.12.00.08
I've been trying to find a solution for the problem but trying to update to FRG83G gives me the same error message:
Finding update package…
Opening update package…
Verifying update package…
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted
if someone has a solution, please post it here
I believe Vodafone tweak their ROMs, so you can't install the update. You will need to revert your phone to complete stock, or root and flash files through a custom recovery, our unlock the bootloader and fastboot flash...

Yep he's right.
I am on gingerbread now.
I rooted with super one click.
Then installed rom manager.
Flash a custom recovery (ie. at the bottom).
Downloaded stock FRG83G from HTC.
Booted into the recovery and installed the rom.
Afterwards I could update to gingerbread.
No downsides yet.
You can also flash the stock gingerbread rom now. Saves you one step.
It's linked here in the forum.

So there is no way around it? if I want Gingerbread on my Nexus I have to root it or wait for Vodafone.
I'm unsure about rooting, never done it before and I'm a noob in this field, but I really, really want the update
If you don't mind, DarsVaeda, and in the light of your success with that method, could you maybe post an even more detailed step by step instructions of how you did it?
Sure.
First of all I lost all data that was not saved remotely. Like SMS or application data from applications that do not remotely store data. Keep that in mind! But it's worth it.
I backup SMS to my google account anyway and delete them after some time from my phone, so I was fine with that.
As far as I know now you do not void your warranty if you root with "SuperOneClick". The root will also be gone after you flashed the rom. On my phone there is only a program called "superuser" left, but it's not usable since the phone is not rooted anymore.
Step by step:
before get all of this:
- get and install the USB Android drivers on your WindowsOS explained here (and download): http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
- install "RomManager" from the market on your phone
- get "SuperOneClick" here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
- get the Gingerbread Stock ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968396
- rename the stock rom to "root.zip" and place it on the SD-Card, top level
1. on your phone goto Settings -> Applications -> Development -> check "USB debugging"
2. connect phone with USB to your Windows machine (drivers above should be installed and Windows should recognize the phone)
3. fire up SuperOneClick and click "root", wait until it tells you it wants to run a test
3a. if it fails to root the first time, just hit root again (I had to do it, after second try it worked)
4. restart the phone after it is rooted
5. back in Android start RomManager
6. in RomManager flash a custom recovery, I took the one at the bottom (something with alternative recovery, second last entry)
6a. it might want you to install additional software, allow it
6b. it will ask you for rights, allow them
7. after the flash is finished boot into the recovery (second entry from top of rommanager)
8. in the custom recovery navigate to the point where you can apply an update with a zip file (in the one i took it was the second entry I guess)
9. after you choose the entry you can choose the zip, choose the "root.zip" and apply
10. now the installation should start with verifying and then actually applying the rom
11. restart the phone
11a. if you are now stuck in the start animation (the one with that floating x-thing) and it does not go on you have to reset all you data (factory reset)
11b. power off the phone and start it with pressing the power button and volume down
11c. a screen appears, navigate to "recovery" and hit the power button (you have to wait till it loads something, then you can press that)
11d. in the new screen there should be an option called factory reset, if not it is like "wipe all data" -> that's when you loose all your data (I had to do it)
11e. reboot the phone
12. Gingerbread should boot now
Feel free to ask any questions if you have. Hopefully I can help.
I did not use the stock rom directly, guess that saves you one step.
If it does not work, but I guess so you have to do the same as above but install this rom first:
http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/signed-passion-img-FRG83_0923.zip
After you installed it boot the phone and check if the version is correct: Settings -> about phone.
If so get the Gingerbread update (http://android.clients.google.com/p...signed-passion-GRI40-from-FRG83G.81304b2d.zip) and place it on the SD-card as "update.zip".
Boot to the recovery, same steps as the factory reset. There will be an option "apply update.zip". Use that and after it you will also have Gingerbread.
Wow! thank you so much for the step by step guide, I really appreciate it now I feel more confident to attempt the feat of updating.
You don't need to root to update.
Follow the wiki guide to unroot/restore using the passimg method for FRG33, then install the updates to FRG83, 83D, 83G, then finally Gingerbread...

Does anyone know how to install the Latest Cyanogen 7 mod onto a Samsung Galaxy S i9000, i have followed the instructions, downloaded the latest initial update and nightly update and just doesn't work. I really like the Mod, just cant get the dam thing to work??
Do you have flash a fresh JPU firmware (with bootloader update tick in Odin) before the installation of CM7 ?
You need froyo bootloaders, then flash the latest full nightly from CWM.
Follow my guide and if you have any problems, let me know...

Good luck
Without Speedmod kernel
Correct me If I am wrong.
Iused this method which is mentioned below. I haven`t used speedmod kernel here. It worked well. Written below is from my post.
Easiest way to start is by installing EZbase ROM, which is rooted.
1. As mentioned in this page, http://www.theandroidsoul.com/cyanogenmod-7-cm7-samsung-galaxy-s/
check you are Case I, Case II, or Case III. Install EzBase ROM, which is 2.2.1 and rooted and CWM 2.* will be installed. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/ezbase-ezrom-for-android-2-2-install-revert-back/
Do not install CM7 as explained in it. It is outdated.
2. Easier to flash using the second method as mentioned here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Flashing_CyanogenMod
Download latest CM7 nightly for SGS.No Stable/RC/Beta available till today) You will also get efs folder backed up, CWM 3.1.*
3. Download Gapps for CM7 (Not included due to licensing.) You need that for Android market Access, and other google applications.
It can directly install your market apps for your google market account, if you ticking the boxes.
4. Download ROM manager from Market and use it for backing up your data. Premium version help to check and dowload latest update or you can it manually.
Hey everybody. So im intrested in upgrading my Froyo 2.2 to the ICS AOKP rom. Earlier i screwed everything up by installing the wrong kernel and had to reinstall Froyo because my phone wouldent boot. Anyway, i wanted to list what im going to do to make sure im doing it right.
Right now my info is:
Phone model: Samsung sgh i897
Radio (baseband): I897UCKB2
Firmware and Build number: 2.2 FROYO.UCKB2
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
1. I will first upgrade to Gingerbread 2.3 using Kies and whatever the samsung website tells me to
1.5 Root and allow sideloading
2. i will put on CWM using odin and this link
(question: i should put on speedmod-kernel-i897-k13e-500hz.tar if my kernel is 3e, correct? or should i just use the first one on the top of the dl list? )
3. follow the AOKP installation instructions but get the actual rom from here
3.5 wipe my data, install rom, then wipe data again
4. Use Titanium Backup and APN Restore to get all my shizz back
5. Finish
couple of questions though. On the AOKP installation instructions, how do i make a nandroid? Do i just go to backup and backup whatever is there? and do i have to Flash Team Hacksung's latest build? If so, where would i find it? i can only find one for the samsung fascinate here.
or should i just use this?
Also, thank you in advanced. I sure did say a lot.
You can combine steps 1-2 into one easy step by going here and grabbing the "I897UCKH3 Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread, With Bootloaders, With CWM Injected Kernel from Boog" flash package. That will flash your bootloaders, stock rom, and give you root access and CWM all in one easy step.
The rest of the steps look good.
As for making the backup, once you have installed the AOKP rom and have successfully booted once, reboot into CWM recovery and go to "backup and restore" and choose the backup option. That's a nandroid backup.
Thanks! ill try that stuff out when i get home. Hopefully it will all work out! Quick question: To install any other rom (assuming its compatible with my phone), i do the same thing?
In general it's a similar procedure, with a few changes:
1. If you're going from any of the ICS roms back to a non-CM7 or MIUI rom, you have to flash back to stock GB first (without bootloaders). This resets the partitioning scheme to the correct form.
2. Once you've flashed the GB bootloaders, don't flash them again - there's no need and it puts your phone in unnecessary danger.
3. To flash between ICS roms, it's generally just a matter of wiping data, flashing the rom, and reinstalling your apps. Same between GB and Froyo roms.
im having a problem. The bootloader you directed to me doesnt work. I downloaded the I897UCKH3 Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread
With Bootloaders - Link 1 / Link 2 [With CWM Injected Kernel from Boog]
put it on my desktop, running it as admin. I also took out the sim of my capvitate and put it on download mode and connected it. However nothing happens. All i get is <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)
should i have any other files other than the I897UCKH3_withBL?
What do?
That should be all you need. Take a look at the captivate connection issues thread in my signature for some more ideas.
You can also try one of the Heimdall-based one-clicks, or try getting full Odin or full Heimdall setup and flash a stock package from those.
Hey jmtheiss. I ended up using a different computer to try the bootloader again, and it worked. I was also able to do the rest of the steps and install ICS AOKP. Thanks! Its really packed with a lot of features so it will be intresting to learn. Thanks!
