[Q] computer restars while trying to flash radio. please help!! - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi there, g1 is my first android phone so im not really good with the jargons. but i ve been able to set up adb in my pc. i could see my phone listed in both adb devices and fastboot devices command. but when i try to flash recovery or radio my computer restarts. weird right?? i ve tried it over and over again but its still the same. im currently using cm6.1 with hboot: 1.33.2005 radio: 2.22.23.02 with cwm 2.56. im trying to update to radio 2.22.27.08 with hboot:1.33.0013d. plz help!!

btw.. i ve nt partitioned my sd card. its still fat 32. would that make a problem??

ok well i have a method you can use to flash the latest radio and hboot via recovery if you cant get it to work via fastboot, just be very carefule, read the instructions and follow them properly! i garuntee you will not brick your device if you follow the instructions properly!! in your case i would start on... Step 2. if you dont have the Danger spl already.. or start at step3. if you already have danger spl if you feel safer unrooting first than you can follow the guide exactly from step 1... lol hope this helps..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098899
ps. the sdcard shouldnt cause a problem with fastboot and adb.. but with the new radio a lot of the roms use ext3-4 so you might want to partition your sd.. just a suggestion..

NEED HELP.

Hey, so i have a g1 and was using youtube to jailbreak it and was doing ok, and even installed cupcake fine version 1.51 by jesus freak. i didnt really notice much differnce from the stock g1 so i tried to install cyanogenmod's latest rom so i put it on the memorycard as update.zip and i also put JFv1.51 ADP.zip on the card and tried to do a reset. i pressed alt W to wipe and alt S to install the new ROM but i noticed it still says JFv1.42 on the recovery utility and when i ry to boot after the update it just hangs on the tmobile g1 screen. I cant figure out what to do and need help. thanx!
Get amon_ra 1.5.2 recovery img,
then to flash cyan's rom you need th 1.4 ota dev zip then cyans roms
do a wipe
then flash the ota, it will say reboot but dont,
press back the go to flash any zip and flash cyans rom then reboot, it will take you back to Recovery menu and wait till your able to move around then reboot phone again
Or use cyans Wiki guide to rooting and upgrading to use his rom
ANYONE? Ive read as long as i can get back to the recovery screen im ok, but weather i wipe it and just reboot or wipe and try to install the update it gives me the t mobile g1 screen. what can i do?

Use Super-D or wesgarner and enom those are faster than cyan.Just wipe then reflash any of the above
sorry my fault its 1.6 ota dev zip.. my fault...
well do these steps
Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
select console from the menu
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or you can do it thru terminal
Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img

once you get that flashed you can use
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
jus read to get an idea on how.. but mainly wanna follow tese instructions
You will now install the actual OS of the phone. First you will install the legal Google apps, and then you will install CyanogenMod on top of those apps.
1. Turn your phone off.
2. Hold the Home button and "End" (power) button to boot to Recovery mode.
3. If you wish to have an option to return to your factory settings, select nandroid backup now. If not, continue.
4. Press Alt-W (or select "wipe data/factory reset")Press home to confirm
5. Press Alt-A (or select "apply any zip from sd")
* DRC83_base_defanged.zip or signed-dream-devphone...
6. Press home to confirm and let installation complete --Note that no "I have finished my job" message will appear after it finishes. Attempt to move the trackball once you see "Formatting CACHE:;" if you can see the highlight moving on the menu, it has completed the installation.
7. STOP - DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE
8. Once again, press Alt-A (or select "apply any zip from sd")
* Select update-cm-4.2.x-signed.zip
9. Press home to confirm and let installation complete --Note that no "I have finished my job" message will appear after it finishes. Attempt to move the trackball once you see "Formatting CACHE:;" if you can see the highlight moving on the menu, it has completed the installation.
* If you used the Defanged DRC83, you need to manually install the ota-radio-2... just like the first two updates.
10. When this is complete, reboot your phone by pressing Home & Back.
11. Wait, your phone will display a [box] -> [phone] and say writing radio image and then reboot. This will take a couple of minutes. Be patient!
12. If the phone enters Recovery mode after rebooting, press Home & Back again to reboot it once more. You should see the blue CyanogenMod Android logo this time.
If that's all you wanted to do, you're done! You should now have a fully functional phone.

OK this looks like somrthing i can definatly do but how am i suppose to get something from my computer to the sd card if the phone is stuck. i dont have a card reader on my comp. only thing i have is the cable to connect the computer to the phone!
That indeed is a problem dont have a card reader at all? you can mount the sd card thro console form recovery.. but im not sure if you need adb shell or not.. also if you want a good rom you should go with dwangs rom or superD 1.2(doesnt require dangerSPL) on eve WES new y2.6 build doesnt require it either

Just use cyan or wesgarners or superd or dwang. Any donut should be fine (I'm using wesgarner's).

HELP! I can't flash a new radio!

Anyone can help me?
I tried to install Froyo by Laszlo, I followed the instructions, I tried to flash the 2.22.27.08 radio, but I received this message:
Install from sdcard . . .
Finding update package . . .
Verifying update package . . .
Installing update . . .
*************
Can't Install Radio
You are using CustomMTD
CustomMTD must be removed
before you can install a radio
Install from sdcard complete.
I don't understand... Install is complete or what? How to check?
Please help me, this is my first G1 device and i want a fast and stable ROM (Froyo by Laszlo).
Be careful you read up before you start flashing radios, a brick is easy if your careless. To check your current radio and spl just hold the camera button while powering on. This screen will tell you what's installed.

He needs to *remove cmtd* (by flashing fr_remove_xxx.zip) before flashing a new radio or spl by recovery, or he needs to flash the new radio by flastboot (which I suggest, because it's much more secure). Everything about cmtd you can read on Firerat's Github repository.
Removing cMTD
Yes, you may like to remove cMTD The primary reason for removing cMTD is to flash a radio or hboot via recovery. I'm not going to go into detail here, but if you can then consider using fastboot instead of recovery for this. Sometimes you have no option, recovery will have to do..
there are few ways to remove cMTD
With early versions you just flashed an original recovery.img
In later versions, I supplied an extra remove.zip which can still be used.
since version 1.5.9-Alpha4, you just set systemMB to 0
adb shell
sed -i s/systemMB=.*\ /systemMB=0 /sdcard/mtdpartmap.txt
then flash AutoPatch-v1.5.9-Beta1-CustomMTD_S.zip, format routine, reboot to recovery If you are restoring a rom, then flash AutoPatch-v1.5.9-Beta1-CustomMTD_S.zip (twice) to make sure the boot.img is patched
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I understand this, that's the correct method? :
#1: plug the phone to my PC and install the drivers (need drivers?)
#2: run adb via "run" on the start menu
#3: write the resize command ("sed"? not "set"?)
#4: unplug the phone and launch to recovery, then run the AutoPatch-v1.5.9-Beta1-CustomMTD_S.zip (where can i find?)
#5: reboot to recovery, full wipe, install radio
#6: then reboot to recovery, full wipe, install hboot
#7: then reboot to recovery, full wipe, install ROM?
To remove cmtd you can also download FR-remove-v1.5.6-CustomMTD_S.zip, copy it onto your SD-card, reboot into recovery and flash the zip. That's all, now you have removed your custom partition layout, *but* your ROM installed will no longer boot up *and* you should clean up everything by either flashing Ohsaka's Superwipe or doing a
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
Now you have a clean phone with standard partition layout and you can start from there to install what you need. As always I suggest: Read before flashing! Especially if you want to go to the 27.08 /0013d combo you should read and understand Terry's thread before starting to flash.
Uhm, how to enter fastboot?
edit: i'm on fastboot mode but i don't have built on my PC.
Nah, i flashed the 1.33.0013d hboot via recovery and installed the Froyobylaszlo ROM. The radio needed fastboot, but i have a little problem... I installed the SDK, installed the drivers, but if i tryin to flash radio via fastboot, this searching for the dev for ever (waiting for the device)
The ROM is awesome, fast, have much of RAM, etc. - however not perfectly. I have 256MB Swap and 512MB ext4, but a few app/game, like Galcon and Opera Mini (my recomended apps) frozen at the beginning black screen and all browser (stock, Dolphins) force closing... user error? That's the missing radio's effect?
I thank all helps.

Can you please boot into hboot-mode (back-button + power on) and can you send the spl/radio versions currently installed on your phone?
Force-closing apps normally are not related to the radio/spl version. I would wipe dalvik-caches and probably run "fix_permissions" on a root shell, this should help ...
Hboot - 1.33.0013d
CPLD - 4

Is it a BRICK?

I did some stupid updates, dont ask me why...
So i ended up with no running ROM but a working recovery. (as shown on pics)
Im not sure if the phone still has a root?!
Any chance to recover it??
my guess is your fine, it lools like you have a working amonra 1.7 which is good and have the 27.08 radio which is sorta good but you still have the stock spl, so now you want to change your radio and spl, then posibly update both radio and spl again, then flash new rom, try this
flash the radio first in this link, then the death spl both via recovery
next flash the .08 or .25 radio and then the .13d spl via fastboot
now flash rom

I tried the orange-1.58.73.2.nbh via fastboot. Is that the right one? With this i get the error "not allow 0028002". I get the same error with flashing the dreaming.nbh.
so it should be done via bootloader not fastboot, a .nbh fil is to be put on the root of sd card, named dreaming.nbh
then hold power + camera, when your phone boots it should find the file and ask you to proceed, say yes
is this the method you did or were you using fastboot?
try again, use the orange.nbh first, name it dreaming.nbh, this way you don't have to reroot, if it fails take the rc29 dreaming.nbh and try that one, you may need to make a goldcard
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
i used bootloader
You are right, i used the bootloader and i named it dreaming.nbh. Gonna try the rc29 now.
A question to the goldcard: as far as i understood you can create a goldcard only with a working os!?
Okay now i tried the RC29 but same error again. Im pretty sure that my g1 is the european version
I was looking for a tutorial to create a goldcard but there were only those where you need a working OS...
Any ideas left??

OK, if you are following that guide and completed step one then you should be at android 1.5
if not then you never finished step one. Alternatively if you are still on android 1.0 then you can do the telnet method, download it from the market

so your on 1.0 and have telnet? if so then you need a recovery.img, amonra is what i prefer but use whatever. name it to recovery.img (if your on window it may hide extensions so name it recovery) and put on root of sd (not in a folder)
now open keypad, hit "enter" key twice and then type telnetd
now open telnet app and type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
dont do anything but this and you may need to do it a few times, you know it worked when you see a ## if you get an error back out and do it again
no boot to recovery, update radio and spl then flash custom rom
you may then want to update recovery and radio again (2708+) do get newest roms

Untill you get an engineering spl you will flash through recovery, so go to the thread I linked you to earlier by idrifta and download the recovery.img, the 2.22.23.02 radio and danger spl after all is complete flash a compatible rom and boot to os, maybe super d or super e, or cyanogen 5, you pick just make sure its compatible.

After this all works let me know and I can hellp you update further if you want newer roms, or just read up on ezterrys thread 2708+ update

and when i install zip from sdcard the danger spl is says:
Finding update package
opening update package
verifying update package
E:signature verifcation failed
installation aborted
Well once yo have amonra recovery you can then upgrade radio then SPL to the ones I mentioned, doing another combo or doing the SPL before radio could result in a brick. Once this is completed and verified (boot while holding camera and check) then you can flash a ROM, and no ginger yoshi won't work until you upgrade further, for now search out one of the ROMs I mentioned and use one of them (probably need to flash appropriate gapps after ROM too)

I tried flashing the radio and it told me to reboot to complete installation so i did and Im stuck at t-mobilescreen no fasboot no recovery. Bootloop.

Seriously need some rooting help

Okay this would be my third attempt root my HTC G1 to flash a rom. I keep up on ending up with a looping tmobile g1 boot screen.
i followed the steps from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14193280
and even tried this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
and even managed to get a quicker process of getting the all radio files and radio updates, hardspl and dangers spl, RA recovery from the first post and using a combined process of the first and second post. all my real problem is is that i need to flash a rom in order to not loose the root. I checked out the ROM Bible thread, grabbed froyo2.2 and still got looping boot. I tried some CM but still the same i honestly don't know what im doing wrong. If anyone can help me out and give me a thorough explenation step by step please lead me to a thread, pm me, or reply!
EDIT:
I went back down to stock 1.0
I would like to get better at rooting so i would preffer to stay away from "one click" rooting
So are you still at 1.0? What files do you have, radios, spls, recovery. Its not too difficult and fully agree to stay away from one click roots.

I also don't know if i should be creating a partition with ext2/3/4 in order to flash correctly.
I know theres a lot here im asking about. I looked around in the forums but i can't seem to get it working.

if so then do you have a custom recovery or a bootable os right now?
Well thats what i can get my phone settings to. but i tried flashing a custom rom but i end up getting the looping boot logo.
Also when i load into boot loader should i be typing in a command in order to reboot or battery pull. I wasnt sure but im kinda wondering if that has something to do with it. Obviously im not battery pulling while processes are going on only afterwards when its done is what i dont know what to do.
when you boot to recovery is it amonra 1.7.x? if so good, then just to get things going flash your superwipe, when finished reboot to recovery then repartition sd card to ext4, (everything on card will be erased so back up, swap is up to you, less the 100mb if you do, and depending how big of a card you have try to get 512mb for ext. in amora first choose swap (0 is disabled) then ext, remainder fat32. then upgrade to ext3 then to ext4
when this is done flash THIS ROM then reboot
Okay so far i accessed root access using CM telnet app and flashed RA-Dream recovery. I will now will be updating radios and flashing spls
hopefully i dont mess things up
i have a nandroid backup just for safety

Yes i just flashed the recovery and my recovery boots to Amonra 1.7.0
Do the partitioning after i get my settings to what i mentioned above? I have a 4gb microSD.
No don't touch your radio and SPL! You have the newest! And don't you already have amonra flashed? If not yeah flash the recovery then wipe and partition and them flash rom

Also while in recovery and in [ALT+P]Partition SDcard
first is
[Alt+0]partition
then [Alt+1]repair sd:ext
and so on till i partition to ext4?
you can just scroll down, no use for shortcuts, just choose partition, then choose swap and ext values, let it roll... takes a while, when done choose ext3... let it roll, now choose ext 4... ok flash rom!

Okay thanks! Swap-size = 0;

fat32 remainder. then to flash rom!
1st boot always a while correct?
And idk what happened but it booted up and loaded the setup phone with gmail account and i went to sign in and it rebooted on me out of no where idk what that was about but it reboot a lot quicker this time.
Everything seems fine. Thanks a lot!
Now all i have to do is wait for the new digitizer to come in and this G1 will be working like a charm
Hey great! Yeah first boot can take a bit, also its nice to let the phone settle a few mins after it seems like its loaded. Also I tend to reboot again after I have things set up and then let it sit again.
You know I don't think you really needed much help here, you done good

Thanks. and well i didnt want to ask questions unless i really needed to. I did a lot of research in the forums which helped a lot.
Also does this ROM have APP2SD or is it safe to install an app2sd app?
it has native app2ext otherwise known as magpie
