I need the original zip

Does anyone here have the original 1.5 Android update zip? I need it. I need to restore back to default factory setting. I am currently on console recovery, and I have a SD card reader as well.
Does my SD card needs to be fat, fat32, or exfat? Thanks.

Someone else correct me if I'm wrong, but....
I think you need the DREAIMG.nbh file if you want to restore back to factory defaults.
Once you get that (just google the file name)
Boot into the bootloader (camera+power) and allow it to do it's thing
I really don't think you can use the update.zip from a replacement recovery screen

huh?
I am on Android System Recovery Utility. I erased the system settings/factory reset.
I was trying to install eclair 2.0-1.2 but I don't know HOW I can format my SDcard to eta3, google doesn't answer the question effectively (SORRY!!!!!!!!).
I need this answers:
1) Where do I download rc29 update? Where and how? The developers website won't let me download 1.5 image because the link is grey out. Pisses me off.
2) How do I format my SDcard to linux eta3 in Windows 7? Please tell me!

#1. thats the ADP image and not what you want.
#2. You cant format to ext3 in windows 7 with default programs.

Guys please..
All I am asking is:
1) I need 1.5 update... please.. I am begging you guys. I am very frustrated with my G1. Again, I am on my Android System Recovery Utility. I want to be able to put my 1.5 on my SDcard reader, put it in my G1, and update it from there. SIMPLE. That's it, I made a big mistake of formatting my G1 in the first place.
Please, I am begging you guys, please HELP ME OUT! Thank you!

If you have "rooted" your phone and you want to get everything back to it's default state, then you would want to download DREAIMG.nbh format your sdcard to fat32 and boot into the bootloader as explained above
You can find the RC29 DREAIMG.nbh file
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EMY1HIVU
You only need to have an ext3 partition if you're rooting your phone and using a rom that has apps2sd, if that's the case you can read how to create the partitions by following this link

Can you provide a link for instructions on updating to RCA29 via bootloader? I am on the screen and the only thing I see right now it says serial0. Thanks. I already put DREAMAIMG.nbh file in my SDcard via reader. Now what?

The bootloader should recognize the file
A Couple things to keep in mind
Are you in the US on T-Mobile, RC29 is for the US version of Dream
Did you extract the zip and make sure it is named DREAIMG.nbh just like so
Try formatting the card again as fat32, maybe try a full format as opposed to a quick format

Guys, I am stuck on red, green, blue, and white screen. Nothing is happening, how do I turn if off?
I downloaded the file form the link you provided. I didn't change the filename, just drag and drop to my sdcard. My tombile is from US. Yes.

I forgot to extract it, I thought I had to put the zip file in first. Sorry.

Either take the batter out or Call + Menu + End key should reboot the phone.
Make sure you rename the file appropriately, and then reflash the DREAM image.

The link I provided you pointed to a .zip file
Extract the file and make sure you place DREAIMG.nbh onto the sdcard
To reboot the phone from the colored screen you can press call+menu+power or pull the battery
When the file is on a properly formatted card, and readable as DREAIMG.nbh you will prompted by another screen that will allow you to restore your phone

I got it, thanks!
Now.. I would LOVE to install eclair 2.0-1.2 but alias I need to have eta3 table installed on my SDcard.
Any ideas how to accomplish that?

To install manups eclair rom (I believe that's the one you're referring to)
You need to root your phone
You can follow this guide
http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-root-a-t-mobile-g1-and-mytouch-3g-android-phone/
Since you've already applied the downgrade skip down to the section titled
B2. Replace the recovery image
If you follow the guide exactly you'll have Cyanogen's Recovery image, if you use that recovery you can follow the guide below to create an ext partition on your sdcard
http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/
If you deviate slightly from the guide you use Amon_RA's recovey image (just look for it under the development section for Dream's here on XDA), you can use Amon_RA's recovery to create the ext partition for you automatically
Once you have your recovery image installed and your ext partition setup then you can apply the rom you downloaded for manups eclair
Edit: I just looked at the thread for that ROM, it states you need to have Haykuro's SPL AKA The Danger SPL installed, this SPL has is known to brick phones if not installed properly
Having that information if you still feel you want to proceed, after installing your custom recovery you can follow the links in my signature for radio/spl to get the files
1) install radio first allow phone to reboot it will take a minute or three, be patient don't pull battery
2) Install SPL allow phone to reboot, once again it will take a minute while it writes the files
then you can apply your rom
*Once again many people have bricked their phones installing this file, make sure you are comfortable installing it before trying and aware of the risks, if you're phone bricks, it's not mine or anyone elses fault that you attempted this mod, you assume all responsibilty (just wanted to throw that in there, because there are literally hundred's of bricked phones from failed spl updates)

[Q] Have I destroyed my nook? Tried everything from google.

And now I'm at your mercy.
I received my Nook Color (1.1.0) today and immediately rooted it with Autonooter 3.0
After that, I went ahead and attempted to flash the Honeycomb rom. I was greeted with this error message in Clockwork and now no matter what I do, every time I clear everything and attemot to install a romm.zip, I get this error message in CWM:
Installing update...
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "zoom2" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "zoom2:
E:Error in /sdcard/romrestore.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Any help?

If clockwork works you should be able to fix it. Try downloading the rom again. I had a bad download once.

are you attempting to use CWR from a SD card, or from internal memory? Which CWR version are you using? Also what are you selecting in CWR to install your zip file?
Have you tried Re-burning your SD card, it sounds like the image might be corrupted.
Also if you wiped everything try Restoring back to stock

Ok well that Link should work for you then.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690
Also I was reading on the HC thread, and looks like the newest version requires EXT4 CWR, which is Version 3.0.0.6 the old version 3.0.0.5 will not work for CM7 or that new HC version. So if you were using the old version that would be the problem.
Don't worry you haven't broken your nook if you can still boot off the SD card, then you can Recover your nook. It might just take some reading of the threads.

Just download the 1.0.1 zip files put it in the root of the CWR Sd card, and flash it to the system like any flashable zip file. Remember to Clear your System and Data partitions first. then once that is done you should beable to boot into a completely clean and freash non-rooted 1.0.1 state, Then just download the 1.1 update from B&N website, and do a normal update to 1.1 then you can Root it or anything you want.

If you are restoring to Stock 2.1 then the old one 3.0.0.5 will work fine,
if you need to install that HC rom, or CM7 then you wil need the 3.0.0.6 version which supports EXT4

I'm pretty sure you can use that to flash EX3 partition as well, so that one will be good for using from now on till a newer version comes out.

This is the IMG file that you will need to burn to your SD card..... if your on windows I recommend using Win32Imager..... once you have your CWR sd card, Download the 1.0.1 Zip then drop that zip file into the root of the CWR SD card.... Boot off the CWR SD card. clear your system, data, and cache. Install the Zip file......
if you still can not boot after this you might have corrupted your boot Partition.
in which case you will need to download and flash THIS FILE which is a stock boot partition.
there are so many helpfully threads on this forum, you should really take some time and read through them.

When you "Chose romrestore.zip" what menu item are you using in CWR
You should be going to "install zip from sdcard" >then "choose zip from sdcard" > then select your zip... I assume you are doing it like this.
the only thing I can think of if you are doing everything write is that your Zip file is corrupted. or you permission are screwed up....
Please download http://www.winmd5.com/ and verify that the file matches the MD5 checksum...
If your using the 1.0.1 from the link I gave you then the checksum is this

Turn your phone off.
Start up in recovery mode by holding Home and pressing Power.
Press alt-W to wipe your device. (You need to do this, or the device may hang at the flashing Android screen)
Press alt-S to apply the update.
There are links for custom roms in the same page but none of them work.. So i searched myself for a new rom and found "Froyo by Lazzo", put it in the SD card and renamed it to update.zip, installed the zip succesfully but when it reboots it just hangs in the black G1 screen...

its ok, i know how it feels, be very careful because the process of upgrading your radio and spl is potentially dangerous and can cause a brick, so make sure to follow every direction as instructed.
here are guides to updating radio and spl:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983834
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098899
fastboot method is much safer, but if recovery method is the only way you can do this, go for it, but be extremely careful.

Thanks, finally installed hboot and the radio I needed, still with partitioning troubles.... lets forget the rom I wanted in the first post, I found this one:

I have the correct radio, followed instructions and it hangs in the black G1 screen... must be because I am having troubles understanding how to partition the damn sd card!
I am stuck in this step "partition your sd card: swap(64M+),EXT4(AT LEAST 256M),FAT32" so...how do I do that?
I have the RA v1.7 recover, so when I go to "partition sd card" I get the following options:
Partition SD
Repair SD:ext
SD:ext2 to ext3
SD:ext3 to ext4
Which one should I choose to complete this step: swap(64M+),EXT4(AT LEAST 256M),FAT32
When I choose the 1 option it allows me to set the swap size as well as the Ext2 one,
but if I select any of the two other options it just partition the SD without allowing me to chnge the sizes...

Its actually pretty simple.
Ok, so heres what your going to do.
We are going to partition through recovery:
boot into recovery
go to the partition sd card option
click partition sd card
use these sizes:ext 2: 512 mb, linux swap :64, and the rest is for the fat 32 partition
then once that is done, click ; SD:ext2 to ext3 :: Convert ext2 to ext3
then once that is done, click : SD:ext3 to ext4 :: Convert ext3 to ext4
and u now have ext 4!
and there ur done.

It doesn't matter what format it is, when you click format sd card, your formatting it to ext 2. What I mean by the rest for fat32 is because your sd card will have 3 partitions, sd ext, swap, and whatever is left of the sd card after choosing the sizes for sd ext and swap, will go towards fat 32.
So just follow my steps again and see if it works, if not are you sure its your sd card? Did you flash the appropriate kernel for the rom to boot? Your supposed to flash a kernel after flashing the rom. Your probably doing everything else right except that. Flash the kernel recommended in the rom thread.

i have composed this using various authors...
say thnx if helps...if any prblm cms do ask...

nice tutor, mate. you make it simple. well, im thinking about getting our salsa support ext4. it must be something cool..

thanks...
ya ext4 would be really good and stable...
ext 2 keeps giving me crash report for certain processes..
eagrly waitng for ext4..

How does it matter? I have ext2 and i receive 'Force close' error quiet often. Will ext4 work better?

ext2 is slow.....ext3 is better and more stable and you tend to not get force close, ext4 is the ultimate!

i cant get the ph11img.zip to get flashed
while i enter the hboot it finds it but dosnt ask me to flash it.. i belive it dosnt recognise it as a valid file . what am i doing wrong.
my salsa is hboot 1.07.0000 indian version

thats because with version 1.07 you need to go directly to htcdev for the update...it will update that way easier.....

Good tutorial.
Unlocked my salsa..
Increased internal memory but gives Force close on ext-2 and not much stable.
May be problem of my 8GB class 4 SD card.
Will try again when my 32GB class 10 SD card comes.....

be very careful, safe usage is 1.5gb on any card.

you just had a total failure on the data2sd side.
plz list up the following so we can help more
1-which rom are you using?
2-what ext partition have you setup
3-how big is the ext partition
4-how did you make the ext partition

Hi BigBearEvo Thanks for your reply I managed to get it working but i made a terrible mistake of formating the system, data and cache. Now when i turn on the phone all i see is the bootloader and it will not go past that coz i think i have formated the internal memory( if formating the above does that). I desperatly need a solution, the problem is that forgot to do a backup from cwm, i looked for an official rom but didnt find anything so i tryed flashing a custom rom (chinese rom, as it was the only one i could find) but it keeps saying error. Please if you know a solution to this tell me about it, atm my phone is useless. Thank you for your help it is very much appreciated.
Btw I am from Australia Im not sure what rom i was using before, I unlocked the bootloader from htcdev which meant i hadto download the RUU for Australia and update it. It was running stock rom. Sorry I am not very good at this stuff. When I turn on the phone this is all the information i can see:
ICON_G PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.08.0000
MICROP-0558
RADIO-7.51.35.19

Do u have recovery installed...if not...then we need to get it installed and get you flashing a new rom again.
Best option is.....somewhere in here is recovery 5.0.2.6 with instructions to flash via adb cmds.
Do this according to post, trust it will work!
Once that's installed go get either iconic or sense 3.5. Flash either of these and presto .....working phone again.
Takes a few mins to flash recovery and upto ten minutes for a custom rom.

I had the same problem so I unlocked the bootloader from htcdev and continued from intalling the cwm recovery step, it worked for me, try it.

Hay, I used the script data2sd-ext3 and that made my phone slow like a dead unit. However, i guess it is because my SD card is not a high speed card.
So i reinstalled everything without the data2sd script and it works well now.
I have a question thoug. I am using link2SD now, and most of the application are on SD card and still the phone speed is accetable. Not like data2sd(dead slow).
Question: When i use link2sd and move softwares to SD card. Will it move the application to ext partition or fat partition. I am asking this because it seems like my fat partition has a folder for each application I installed. and the space on fat is decreasing.
any ideas?

From what I gather it uses both and it doesn't truley move them. It still shows as using internal memory but holds alot on.SD. I.stopped using it the minute I got access to ext3 script.

[Q] htc incredible s usb bricked and phone stuck on boot logo

Hi guys. I have a very large problem here.. About few days ago, I was transfering files from my pc to my phone via usb, suddenly the sd card got crashed(maybe) because i was not able to find it on my phone. but everything was fine in pc. then I formatted the sd card in fat32 and tried to hard reset the phone via cwm.. I went to 'wipe/factory data' . after formatting the system, it said unable to mount sd card\android secure- skipping formatting. Now the phone is not starting and i cant flash new rom via cwm because it says unable to mount sd card.. I am extreamly tensed. help me guys.

Not sure how much it may help but did you try putting your sdcard in some other HTC phone? If the phone recognizes it then can you format it through the phone and try again?
Also I am assuming that you were able to flash a different ROM earlier using the same recovery, i.e, you are using the correct version of the recovery; also that your card was not encrypted

no luck

since you are sOFF i dont think you can run RUU
so now do this,
1.open the RUU on PC (dont need to connect phone).Dont close the RUU window.
2.now on PC in Search, type %temp%
open the location
3.now there using search in that folder, search rom.zip
copy this .zip to c:/android
4.rename it to PG32IMG
5.nw put this PG32IMG.zip on phone
6.get int bootloader
7.it should automatically detect and flash it
so now you have a rom that can boot
hope it works
hit thanks if i helped you
