The other day I pulled out my original preordered g1 with a broken screen. got on ebay and replaced my screen. I am rooted with an older cyanmod rom. Now I usually dont post because im a good ressarcher. But im lost. Did a full wipe and dont have a network connection to get past gmail set up. All I can tell you s it was firmware 1.5 and higher then rc29. Tried enter reboot enter on android screen. Tried flashing a few things. Says cant find E: /cache/system/command and no such file or directory. Just don't know where to begin. Just want newer/faster rom and overclock. Any help or redirecting would be appreciated. Just thought I could use 1on1 help as it isn't really a general problem. Thanks, gavin.
Doesn't it give you an option to skip the original Google login to get to your main screen?
I'd assume probably not for some odd reason since I'm guessing you'd have figured that out, but if not, use that skip option, then you can Wifi it to do the login etc after that..
Or try this thread...

When I first got my g1 I loved it. Then the cupcake update happened. Everyone was overjoyed - except me. My phone went much slower and juddery, and loads of little errors happened. Now these are the 2 problems i need help with:
Rotating. The phone stays in either portrait or landscape mode and won't rotate to the correct mode with the keyboard sliding in or out.
And
Messaging. Whenever I send an sms message i get a force error as soon as the text is sent through.
PLEASE HELP ME :'( :'( before i go to t-mobile and cancel my phone - it has got that bad ((((((((((((((((((((((
If you need anymore info just ask thanks,
Ross.
You might want to try re-flashing the cupcake update, if your phone is rooted then you can search around and find out how to do it easily. If not you need to find the official tmobile cupcake update, I dont have any link for it but I am sure if you search here or google you will find it. You then need to plug your g1 into the usb on your pc and mount the sd card, if it is a .nbh file name it DREAMIMG.nbh, if its a .zip name it update.zip and copy it over. Then reboot into spl by holding camera+power and follow onscreen instructions. Good luck.
Try doing a wipe and see if that fixes your problems.
If wiping doesnt fix your problem id hit t mobile up for a replacement
I am using Cyan mod, and I really wanna try out the Hero's stuffs. My only hesitation is that, my Sim card doesn't have internet and thus, flashing Hero ROMs ( required a wipe ) will lead to re-activating the phone again. Is there an " activate later " option like the one I did in Cyan build ? If there is, then my only problem will be solved. Thanks in advance guys, really appreciate your responses.
you could try it and if it gives u any issues where u cant sign in then flash your nandroid backup and all will be well. if u don't have his recovery image get it now. it has a ton of useful things in it. but if i do remember correctly in the intial boot up of the 1st haykuro released hero it had an option that will allow u to use wifi to do the set up. im not sure if its that way in the other hero roms floating around. just pop in the roms thread that u wanna try out and ask. its worth a shot i guess
Yes hero roms allow you to skip the gmail login and later go and sign in when you have a wifi connection, so go for it

It even asks if you want to connect to WiFi during setup so you don't have to skip it.

Hi guys
i had a rogers htc dream. i have used to the one click guide and haykuro methods to root my phone with cyanagen rom. however my phone is running extremely slow for some reason and i would have to force close all the application everytime. the only way to make it work is to uninstall and reinstall and reboot and use them for an hour and start force closing again.
while i was browsing i came to find out abt Super Dwang. some people are sayings it stable and fast. so i decided to try it. so i also wanted to get the new recovery Aman-Ra. once i installed that recovery...i was no longer able to go in recovery mode or start my phone. it would remain stuck on ROGERS logo. no matter what i tried didnt help. in desperation and by panicing i used the method on code.google.com to unbrick my phone. which led me to download DREAM.nbh and update that. little did i know once i have done that i ended up on T-mobile G1 with 1.0 firmwire and the original SPL. noting i could think of worked. i did reasearch one for last 5 hours and no help. so i have no choice to but post a thread in hope for a solution. i do want to mention was able to go to firmwire 1.1 with rc033 if that helps. i wanan go back to original HTC DREAM they way it came from rogers with 1.5 cupcake. if i want to root again i will do it later. also how do u upgrade radio i cant seem to do anything. please help.....i dun have a spare phone!!! i can make call but i am just so disappointed....please someone help me! i am a noob at this!
relax
At least its still running. I rooted my t-mobile under nearly the same circumstances (v1.1 etc) using the gold card hack. Youre a noob? So keep reading until you know what youre doing. Im at work atm. Maybe i can help when i get home. But 5 hours waiting is nothing. Dont force it. You could try it in the #android irc channel at freenode, meanwhile.
hey sHR00m thnaks alot. but i was able to go back to the root mode with cyanoge. what i did is i used to flashrec to back up and then flashed cyanoge 1.4 and at that point i was able to goto recovery mode and i used my laptop to put donut and latest cyanogen rom in the sd card and did a full wipe and installed. however when it loads it still says t-mobile g1 no that i care. i was able to use 3g from rogers! (it also returned me to original radio). but then i installed the amon-ra recovery and installed it (btw its amazing) and i flashed superD rom (super dwang) and its amazingly smooth! but i have 2g...dont have option for 3g and even with 2g i cant access the interent at all...no edge noting. i can only use WIFI.... with cyanogen latest rom its darn slow everything keeps force closing. apps dont run properly.....id unno why. there are many who are like its wow fast and me i am not getting the speed. i dunno what to do....can anyone plz help? i need 3g back or otherwise return to cyanogen but need to have speed and stability....
ah glad you made it back. no idea about the radio thing tho. im sure the information you need is out there but dont mess with the radio until you get it.
hey thanks...so right now i am on dwangs latest rom....and although i wasnt able to go on interent with my provider. i manually put in the apn's and to surf on 3g however with the dwang rom i cant seem to make it work for app2sd. i mean i created a partition and when i load i dun see a second part for my sd. and when i am installing apps it uses internal storage but not full but a partial. for example i installed a 4 mb app but i saw a 2 mb decrease on internal storage.
i . ll just start from the beginning. i installed a jesus freke ROM on my G1, i dont remember what version. i think it was 1.41 or something like that. (RC29 or RC33, idr). i downloaded an app or maybe it was an app that came with the ROM that let me know of jesus freke's updates. i hadnt checked it awhile as the G1 is not my primary device. when i checked for it last week, it showed an update and i attempted to install it. i completely forgot the procedure for updating a new image and im prretty i bricked it because it wont go past the android screen, even after waiting about 10-15 minutes, it still wont go past it. so my question is, can somebody please help me unbrick my G1? im in no hurry as im not using it on a daily basis, but id like to get this resolved as soon as possible so i can sell my G1. anyways, id appreciate it if someone could help. if so, can you give some detailed instructions as im not TOO familiar with android. i know a little about it, but too much.
thanks guys,
josh.
if you can access recovery mode, just go and reinstall other rom, i recommend cyanogenmod - user friendly and it got a complete guide on there website to install.
youll have to expand on that a little more, like i said, im not that familiar with android.. i dont have an SD card in there, and i suppose that might pose a problem trying to flash another ROM to it.. can you give me some links and some specific directions when you have a chance..? i'd greatly appreciate it.

This right here is why I say don't root if you don't know wtf you're doing. This always happens to people who should have just stayed away. Look:
Power phone completely off. Hold home key and power on. If you get to the recovery screen (the screen with a bunch of options, probably all written in green for you) then you're not bricked. All you need to do is put latest cyanogenmod on your sdcard, wipe your phone, and install it.
Good Morning...I don't know if anyone may have the answer to this, but...I hacked my Streak and flashed DJSteve's Official HC ROM that comes in two parts....worked ok but contacts were a bit wonky. Tried to flash back to stock but never could find the right ROM that was at least flashable through DJSteves ColockworkMod its kinda blueish in color. So I wiped it, did a fresh restore through NVflash and reflashed the ROM. Now it is asking me for a Password at the lock screen. I didn't put in a password for the lock.....I tried to contact DJSteve, and I did reflash but I am still having the same issue. I tried a few other ROMS but they either wont load or they have the same lockscreen asking for password. The screen is a HC Lockscreen, when you unlock it you see the keyboard and a small green android dude that is split in the center by the enter password line......now I have tried password, admin, android, unlock, open.....nada......Anyone have this issue or know a way around it......Cheers!!
NVFlash back to stock.
Thank you for reply....I tried to do that but I cannot find the stock files for the original Dell Streak 7. I can't get the Fastboot side to work well, so I am kinda in a holding pattern I think.....Do you know where I can find the Stock RoM for Dell Streak 7? Dells site doesn't have it.....and TMOUS no longer supports....THanks again...

If you just looked around, you probably could have found it.
I went there, tried that.....however I do not have WIFI only.....
Thanks to everyone who helped me.....after looking around and taking advice I got everything back to normal....was even able to update to HC. Now all I have to do is figureout how to root it without having to put CWM on it.....LOL
Thanks again Raven
