[Q][H] 2.2.1 FRFG83D Help

Hey All,
First I would like to start of by saying sorry if there is a thread on this and I have not found it from hours of searching for an answer.
So let me tell you the problem/point I am at with my Nexus One and need help.
So I rooted my phone a while back and for some time I was running the
CyanogenMod and then used Rom Manager to return to the stock image FRF91 from there updated to FRFG83D. I now want to get back into the rooted world and Amon_Ra's Recovery. Each time I try to enter into recovery mod I get the droid with a big '!'
I have tried to use SuperOneClick and it keep sitting on
Running rageagainstthecage...
ROOTED
Getting mount path...
tried 1-click does not work also.
Please help

Anyone help please

You only need to ask once. Asking multiple times is not going to get anyone to help you any faster... All you'll do is annoy people.
The "droid with the big !" as you put it is the stock recovery. When you flash a stock ROM, it re-installs the stock recovery, unless you delete two files.
Anyway, you need to delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-from-boot.p and then flash a custom recovery. You obviously need root to delete those two files.
See attachments for how to root and flash a custom recovery, without unlocking your bootloader.

Thanx and do not wish to be a pain, I thought I got my nexus to a point were I could not do a think.
Will try it out and let you know.
Thanks

I did this like 2 days ago too. Super one click root does work. I confirmed. You just only need to set up your driver and your adb right.

[Q] cant access CWM dell streak 7

ive been using dj steve's release 2.0 of honeystreak for a few days and scrolling through the forums on the development threads but i cant seem to find a way access cwm, to confirm i am using:
dell streak 7 wifi version only
honeystreak 3.2 release 2.0 wifi only
and i am accessing recovery from holding down vol+ and power and selecting option 2 (third option down).
i can confirm i have been able to access CWM before i flashed honey streak so i no its not the process of accessing it that im having a problem with, i did flash honeystreak release 1 but later flash release 2.0 for cwm.
please help as the only reason i wanted a dell streak 7 was to have honeycomb and cwm.
cheers guys

Well, when you select update.pkg what does it do???
That should get you CWM, if it does not then something has gone wrong, maybe re-download and re-flash ..

As soon as I click it the screen goes off but the softkey buttons are still on, I have to hold down power key to turn off the device then turn off it back on. I've read on the development forums this is happening to a few people but no one is responding with a fix,
Cheers thanks for the quick reply

Ok i have found a possible reason. I have also flashed cwm with Rom manager which apparently disables cwm on the actual build. Is there a way to revert back to before i flashed cwm with Rom manager. apparently
Thanks

Restore dell streak 7 (wifi only) using nvflash

So I actually posted a thread detailing how to restore the Streak 7(Wifi only) back to stock. I put it into general in the main forum instead of under the streak 7 forum. So I am placing this here to lead to that post.

Yes, you can.

I'm reading up on adb and how to install it. Some pointers would be nice as I'm trying to help my friend who messed his thing up.
Thanks in advance whoever can help me.
Couple things id like to add to maybe help anyone who decides to help me.
Factory reset in the os as well as both in stock recovery do nothing.
Most of the apps force close.
he took his sd card out. I can use mine though if needed.
He doesn't care about any data lost.
Anything I delete or undo setting for example will be redone as soon as phone is rebooted or setting is closed.
Wifi says error.
It is a tmobile streak 7 my sim card does work and it gets a signal but nothing else does.
Some solutions I thought of is. Try to find a full stock os
Flash someone else nandroid.
Sbf to stock.
Hence why iam reading on adb. On my phone I use terminal emulator so I have no idea how to use sdk and adb.
Sorry if I. Sound noob. Iam to this device .

Okay I Read this already. It doesnt help me very much. I have the fastboot drivers but I do not have fastboot.exe in the adk.
The ADK does not come with it, and I've searched for it and found nothing that would help me for a dell streak. So if you could post the link to the right fastboot becuase in cmd it tells me fastboot is not a recognized as a internal or external command,operable program or batch file.
I cannot use ADB becuase I cannot check usb debugging it unchecks after I exit the dev section. Yes my ADB is setup right I can use it on my mt4gs perfectly.
Im dling the nvflash method now.
Update.
NvFlash method did not work.

I agree. Your symptoms sound very similar to what I was experiencing on my t-mobile Streak 7. I sent it to Dell for repair and it works great now. Takes about 2 weeks for the whole process.
Call Dell support and they will eventually tell you that you need to send it in after having you try several things over the phone. They will ship you a box and pay for the postage to send it to Mexico.
Good luck.

Original G1 owner need unlocking help

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
now reboot into recovery

Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium

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
if you need further help boot into hboot and write down everything on that screen
