Search here on Hero CDMA development
and when ever a a post is a recovery, at the begining of the title it will say [RECOVERY]
or you can use the search button anytime. "Clockworkmod Recovery" or what have you. Youre recovery really shouldn go bad unless you did something stupid.
and 1 way to get a new Recovery is through Rom Manger but id highly suggest to use ABD/SDK. its not TOO hard to set up heres a link showing step by step instructions.
This site will probably half your answers that you might have already
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
edit: PM me if you need anything elso
What do you mean if something goes bad??? Care to give a little more details???
#Root/Hack-Mod_Always*
key word is "noob", lol,,,in case i screw something up, and yes i have been known to do that from time to time. sorry for the lack of detail. thanks
Well you still didn't state if your problem was still an issue. Or if the information that coffeehandle has been kind enough to provide you with resolved you issue.
#Root/Hack-Mod_Always*
stepped away for a moment
got called away for work, thats why i didnt respond with a speedy reply...yes his information was helpful, it did resolve my issue, and i did hit the thanks button.....a little more information and i probably would have given a generous donation as well...(gave 10 bucks to someone once for writing "wipe cashe, wipe data, wipe dalvik, flash away").....so i think all have completed their missions on this thread, dont you ?
Btw laie , if your not responding with helpful info,,,why are you responding??? just curious
Glad you got it worked out. Have a good one.

Because its respectful to let the board know in general that you've figured it out. By telling us that, it lets others know maybe how to fix the same type of problem instead of leaving the thread in limbo. Simply edit your original post and put [solved] in the header also works and is very easy. Some xda users only use the app like myself and don't see the thanks. Plus it doesn't say that it worked for you. Just that you thanked him for a reply to your problem or whatever we could assume. And we all know what assume means. Makes an ASS out of U and ME.

Ive been at it, probably for 6 hours total. Let me give a rundown of what I have done.
I started here
http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/10/04/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-4-1-99-on-your-g1-android-phone/
but since I did not already have Cyanogen Recovery 1.4 installed.
I had to go here:
http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/09/21/the-complete-step-by-step-guide-to-rooting-your-android-phone/
I followed the steps, to the letter, untill I got to number 15, at which point. I kept getting "BACKUP FAILED"
as did a ton of other people apparently. From reading, I deduced.. incorrectly perhaps, that I needed to DOWNGRADE from RC33, to a lower one, pre donut.
I managed to downgrade to RC29.
at which point I went back and started to process of installing Recovery 1.4.
Well, it turns out the Backup program.. will not work with RC29 I need (apparently) RC30..
Well I CANNOT find a vanilla version of RC30.. I have searched and searched, all I can find is the RC30 MOD software. Which I tried.
As per the directions I renamed update_TC4-RC30_full_xda-dev_v1.2.zip to update.zip.
disconnected the phone rebooted into recovery, then ALT-S to install it.
and I get:
E: No signature (382 files)
E: verification failed.
Installation aborted.
so now, long story short, Im stuck in RC29, unable to update to RC30 so that I can begin the process of installing cyanogen.
I have searched, searched until i could taste colors and see sounds.. I get lots or results, and they are all people having the same or similar problem, asking the same question.
I think once I get RC30 back on the phone, I can work it out from there.
But at this point my brain feels like a melted plastic bag. This sort of stuff is "not my thing" I was able to get my HTC Excalibur done with little fuss, but the G1 is turning out to be one of those projects where you get half way, then go off on a tangent trying to find a fix, then cant get the fix to work and get trailed off trying to find a fix for the fix.. and well you get the idea.
Thanks for any help.
Please god help LOL

Just follow the instruction at CyanogenMod Wiki. Even my girlfriend can do it by herself...
At my wits with noobs making topics in the wrong section.
All your answers are here.
and for the hell of it
here might help too!
firstly, wrong section, this belongs in the QnA section
secondly, email me at [email protected] if those instructions dont work
i prefer to solve issues on a 1-2-1 basis

You know what, this is the exact kind of thing that makes the search function less effective, and pisses me off.
Because guess what I find when I try to search for my problem. Lots of posts of people, also asking about the same or similar problem, and being told to search.
I stated in my first post that I have tried searching, this post was a last resort.
If you do not have an answer, dont answer.
Thanks

perhaps you should ask the other 100 plus people that have had similar issues..
The problem Im running into is typical of someone with no knowledge of the issue, reading a how to written by someone who knows it very well.
in that, tiny steps, that the person who wrote the turtorial see as "no duh" self evident things, that need not be stated.. are total greek to me.. so I got stuck,
you complain about that yet you post in the wrong place....genius
and you were offered plenty of advice, not just "search"
mods, please move this

not to be a jackass or anything, but if you don't know what you're doing, then you really shouldn't be trying to do any of this in the first place.
i agree...i get people emailing me asking "how do i root" "what is root" "what is cyanogenmod" "" ]
and i just tell them "if you dont know what root is, you shouldnt root" and "you need to do your own research, me spoonfeeding you will no doubt lead to you having problems somewhere down the line and blaming me"
and if you aint tech-minded and cant fill in the blanks, you shouldnt be fukin with ur phone
first this belongs in Q&A, second your not suppose to install RC30, installing RC30 defeats the purpose of going to RC29 to get root
Let me restate this again..
all I need, I think, is to update to RC30.. not a mod version.. just the regular.. I think I can get it rolling from ther..
still with me?
I cannot find a regular version of RC30.. only the mod versions..
still there?
when I try to install the mod version VIA the directions listed.. I get
E: No signature (382 files)
E: verification failed.
Installation aborted
thats it.. that is where I stand..
why goes it say verification failed..
EDIT: im trying to get root now on RC29 will update..
BTW, i posted this HERE because I figured PHONE Q&A was Q&A about the damn phone!! and that mods and the issue im dealing with seem more like something that would be considered DEVELOPMENT.
SORRY

this belongs in the Q&A section.
start with part 1 - method b
http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-root-a-t-mobile-g1-and-mytouch-3g-android-phone/
read the whole thing twice, and then two more times after that
there are so many threads with directions on how to do this. the reason search didn't find anything is because so many people are starting these threads. it's ridiculous that the search button needs a search button.
FYI - start with the sticky threads at the top of each forum. they will tell you everything you need to know or at least where to find it
u relise that by going to R30 stock, not mod....u will lose root
u WANT R29, then do the telnet thing to get root, (then cm1.4 recovery if it disappears) then flash the HTC 1.6 image, wipe, THEN cyanogens latest
dont even bother asking any more questions here, start again in the QnA section or just flash stock and dont bother with custom roms
WEll I got rc29 rooted, and have it flashed to RC30 with root.
so now Hopefully I can get the rest rolling.
Ill post any followup questions in the Q&A.
thanks for all the help, smug and elitist as it was.

We are not being "smug and elitist" we just know that when people post questions not understanding how to do something that if you don't know how to follow the instructions you shouldnt be doing in the first place the next post (Probably in the wrong forum) will be along the lines of "OMG I THINK I BRICKEDED MY PHONE!!!!!!!!

You're a moron. If 100+ people have had similar issues, maybe you should read the suggestions they received. I'm sure one of those 100+ has had the exact issue you have.
Besides, if everyone who had a personal issue opened up a new thread, do you really think any substantive development would be achieved in this forum?
Like others have said, if you have no knowledge of Android modding, don't do it. If you can't figure out how to root -- with all of the tutorials and past threads -- you shouldn't be rooting.

I am in recovery mode and my G1 keeps rebooting over and over since I wipe the factory default.
I apologize for not using the search button because I don't see any answers, or maybe I just want direct answer.

Stop blaming the guys making the ROMS for your own F-up.
Learn to read the instructions.
ALL of them.
Don't blame them for the fact you didn't read THIS :
first you will need these things haykuro spl,ext3/linux-swap if you dont have it and if you do wipe them clean
The please provide links for those kinds of software.
I am really upset that no one will help me

You should be upset at yourself for not reading the clear instructions that are inherent in nearly every ROM update procedure. READ the instructions.

If u r using stock recovery u should b serching for something like Fastboot or adb, if u using cyan's or RA's recovery that just find different room to flash.It would b nice to know Phones specs...SPL, Radio, REcovery etc. just like what i got in my sig.
For future references post in Q&A thread or where is the ROM u flashed is, Provide some info if u need help.

Since you're too cocky and too ignorant to do most of the things on here, I suggest you put your phone back to stock as soon as you figure out how to flash images. Get the "recovery image" from here http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html, then go ahead and get a card reader, drop the file on the reader, rename it update.zip, boot into recovery, alt+s to flash it, alt+w to wipe, then reboot.

ok then go here and set up adb after u done follow the link in my sig to flash RA 1.5.2 recovery. After u get RA recovery find the rom u need to flash id suggest Cyans rom or WG and make sure ur SPL and RAdio is uptodate.
Good luck.

I think he is looking more for someone to do it all for him rather than using the information already given out to help himself.

im a bit new to xda developers. ive scourged the forums all day via search and found no concrete help or answers.
FIRST: i dont know what adb is and because of that, idk why my nandroid backups and restore wont work. it say "push via adb" or something like that
SECOND: i also dont know how to use sdk or whatever it is.
i need a detailed walkthrough of some sorts because the search on this forum sucks and did not help me at all

not to highjack the thread, but whats it mean when recovery starts prompting you to exctecute command via adb/sdk? i noticedbmy bluecarebear is TRUELY angry with me, so much hes not wiping my ext or dalvk!
nandroid works, backup and restore
factory data reset works
but wiping doesnt.
help?
Well using the xda search "ADB" the first result is a thread that leads you to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
How is that difficult? Everything you need to know about the ADB et al is there
As far as the sdk is concerned, your hero is rooted so it is on your pc already if you followed the traditional process. Otherwise it is there in the link as well.
Seriously I am not trying to be a smart ass but too many people give up before even trying.

I would try reflashing your recovery image.
I had trouble with the green one a while back, I changed images a couple times for other reasons. Back on green cb now with no problems since flashing over the problematic image.

im not up on most of the geek terminology or whatever it is, in other words the guide here wasnt helpful, but since im rooted, i guess i dont need it(sdk) or whatevr. i still cant figure out why i cant make any nandroid backups or restore currently stored ones
... I'm speechless, or I guess in this case typeless
*edit- +1 On what subliminalurge says in the next post. This stuff is not hard to learn. Either commit yourself to a couple weekends of focused enlightenment or make your peace with the stock setup. Almost any of us would be happy to help... after you take the first couple steps and learn some of the FUNDAMENTALS.
Go to the "GUIDE WIKI" and read read read, when you start becoming familiar with some of the "geek terminology" come back and we'll help connect some of the dots.

Also not trying to be a smartass, but come on dude. If you're not willing to hit google and learn a little bit, then you are probably already in over your head just with what you've done to your phone so far.
I STRONGLY recommend you find a way to be happy with stock phones. Otherwise, I see a large collection of very expensive paperweights in your future.
hi i have been trying to mount the phone to read/write in order to access the /system folder for copying files
however, i am unable to do this
i have tried the mount r/w applications online but not working as well
i have tried all the commends on adb as well, what i get is "remount fail: read-only file system
i have used the abd to run super user, but it shows im already a super user
i have tried to set adb to set as root and it also shows already running as root.
any ideas guys??
i have tried reflashing several kernels and also roms, same thing.
oh additional note, i have tried adb in recovery mode and also in normal mode, doesnt work.
and my usb debugging is already checked
Very interesting development. Download Link please... :silly:
Despite that this surely the wrong thread you could tell us whether you have this problem on a toaster or a tumble dryer...
And what are you trying?
adb push iOS5.apk /system/s**t or what?
hi there, thank you for the really useless reply there. unfortunately you are right, i had put this in the wrong place. anyway, thanks to the admin for helping me move it to the right place.
in case you have been in a cave or dont have google, many people have issues trying to mount read/write capabilities in their /system folders be it to be able to move some things in there or to push applications.
as most people who ask questions here dont get much answers because of people like you, i had to do my own searching and try everything on the web and sadly it didnt work.
so, for people who have come to this thread looking for answers, please try the following (only if you have tried everything)
SOLUTION
it would seem that after flashing many roms, the /system folder has issues.
please go to recovery (CWM) > mounts and storage> format /system
once you have done this, please reinstall your rom. this will fix your issues.
as for trahzef*ck: i'll give u a thanks since you being a d*ck helped me figure out my solution and you look like you need a hand in being nice

Congrats! Obviously you have learned something. Learning by own research will help more than to be spooned.
To be honest: Maybe my answer was harsh. But be aware for the following:
- Post in the right section
- Give people, who want to help the needed information. Rom, Version, Kernel etc. So that they can help.
- and don't try to be so smart ass cause you found a format command. There are already enough on XDA.
As your thank meter is Zero I give u one back. for your most intelligent word/spelling creations. It's your first one. maybe the last.
Halleluja! An new &%/()&%%$ on XDA. Thank god.
Maybe you have partial root. Try Busybox from playstore and update the binaries.

Congrats! Obviously you have learned something. Learning by own research will help more than to be spooned.
To be honest: Maybe my answer was harsh. But be aware for the following:
- Post in the right section
- Give people, who want to help the needed information. Rom, Version, Kernel etc. So that they can help.
- and don't try to be so smart ass cause you found a format command. There are already enough on XDA.
As your thank meter is Zero I give u one back. for your most intelligent word/spelling creations. It's your first one. maybe the last.
Halleluja! An new &%/()&%%$ on XDA. Thank god.

haha well i dont care about hard answers, just answers, you on the other hand gave nothing. no wonder although your status shows "senior member" all you have is a measly 200 odd thanks. half of them must have been like mine, pity thanks for nothing.
i will however take your advice on the first two, but i dont have to be one because you apparently are one big enough to cover most of the members here.
thanks for the thanks but i think you may need one more then me.
and last but not least, yes i can spell, and its quite obvious much better then you can and if i am another *ssh0le on the forum, i must have learnt from the best, thanks a mil trasherf*ck! you're my hero

erm nope, i checked with afew other guys, who root alot as well, apparently sometimes the /system file will get mucked up like that once in awhile. so this doesnt really apply to specific phones or tabs but to all who may have this issue.
but the issue has been resolved. thanks for the suggestion tho...

Thank you, sahilarora2003, you are the only responsible poster in this thread.
If a post is placed in the wrong subforum, simply hit the report button and we'll move it. There is no need for the drippingly sarcastic responses I see here, provoked or not.
The rest of you need to smarten up.
Before coming across the link in this forum here at http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...y-steps-n910t3-dofc-dog1-how-to-root-t3177225 ...
I thought I could shortcut all the work by going to the auto root chainfire site to download the actual CF Auto Root File for model sm-n910t3. I successfully flashed that file using odin. It went into a bootloop and then I freaked out.
The error messages when I turn on the phone first show
"kernal is not seandroid enforcing" in red, and
"Set Warranty Bit: kernal" in yellow writing.
After being in this bootloop i went to the link posted above and followed each step by step. My phone is successfully rooted now and I can log in to my phone fine. However, there are two problems. First, those error messages are still there. How do I get rid of that? I tried a factory reset on my phone and it wont do it.
Will get to that after. Second, when I go into twrp by hitting volume up+home+power, once im in there it wont allow me to backup my current rom. It says an error message about E:/ data mount or something like that. And also while in twrp it won't let me factory reset my phone. So the recovery program is pretty useless to me. I don't know why it doesn't work properly.
Where do I go from here? Can someone help me out in fixing this error message and getting a recovery program to work? I'm just wondering why the twrp that I flashed while following that root guide above does not work. Has anyone ever encountered those two error messages while turning on their phone? Thanks.
The error messages are normal after rooting.

So other people have those messages on the top of their phone after rooting this device? Im guessing we just ignore that message then? I thought it was there because I flashed the wrong kernal before doing it the right way and following the forum...
What if I flashed the original firmware for this note 4 phone that I have a copy of, then root the phone going through that tutorial step by step? Wouldn't that get rid of the error messages? And my twrp would work then?
Im not able to make a backup of my current rom. And Im not even able to factory reset this phone. This is a problem for me since I want to put marshmallow on here soon. When I do I get an error message. Part of my second question is wondering why twrp isn't working correctly?
please help
i took my battery out to charge it and put a new one in. now it wont even boot up. it turns on and says
"custom binary blocked by FRP"
"secure fail: kernal"
for those of you who followed my other post i rooted my phone and tripped knox. phone was giving a message but would still turn on. where do i go from here? i have everything backed up and can start fresh. please provide step by step instructions on how i can fix this phone. thank you so much in advance and god bless.
I went to samsung and downloaded the firmware for this device and then flashed it. Now it's back to normal so you can disregard my post. Thanks guys.
scary

Easy dude, that's not how things are done around here.
Ubernoob?
Drink my ovaltine? Hash tag for uber noob? Didn't your parents raise you to not say something if you have nothing nice to say at all? Apparently not so who's really the ignorant. Ask yourself that question. Ignorance is bliss. That's a good hashtag huh.
And the bottom line is that we were all beginners at one point right? So cut me some slack im learning. It will take me time to get to where you guys are at. Yes I am brand new to this stuff and no I don't like the iphones. Androids are more user friendly. I like Samsung phones and want to learn more about them.
Its people like you that keep us beginners from wanting to come back to this website, when guys say blatantly rude comments. It shouldn't be a bashing forum. Let's all chill and get along.
