Help with Cyanogen and modding

Ok, i have a need for a bit of help. I rooted and flashed to Jesusfreaks adp. I tried to get it to RC33. LONG story short, JF is installed. My kernel is 2.6.27-00392-g8312baf
NO clue what that means but im at fireware 1.5 and Build number CRB43
I want to get to Cyanogen. It looks a little smoother then JF and more frequently update. BTWi have a G1
I followed this guide TO THE T!
simplehelp.net/2009/10/04/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-4-1-99-on-your-g1-android-phone/
and after i rebooted, it took forever to boot (which is usual)
All my apps crashed. My desktop didnt even load. It had force closes like *android.phone and *android.mail
I figured it was because i was trying to mod off of the Jesus freak setup. Can anyone help me out and tell me how to either COMPLETELY wipe my phone and restore it to its origional G1 official build and then i can re-root to Cyanogen OR a way to mod from Jesusfreak to Cyanogen

copy and paste this into your browser... follow the directions...
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod[/url]

Just read that guide over and thats all exactly what i already did. I have tried to signed-dream flash and then after taht the cyan mod. It installed the OS no problem. It just didnt have any programs working. IT is as if the phone had the OS but no program files. It wouldnt even load the phone at all. it was a black screen with a status bar and infinate force close screens. Any idea what that is a result of? I had to flash recover back to my JF os

Try this:
1. Flash recovery Amon_Ra (Great improvment on JF and Cyans recovery)
Code:
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
2. Boot into recovery (Home+Power)
3. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
4. Wipe EXT
5. Repair EXT
6. Flash Super D (I suggest Super D only because there is less flashing involved and it's a great improvement on the Cyan roms.. super quick too)
From here you should be set.

so if i already have root and all that, do i still need to follow step 1? Like flash with Amon_Ra? or can i just wipe, and reload the D rom? also your rom says its myHero2.2? is that a good rom? Im just trying to find the best rom to use on a g1. I have read up on Jesusfreak, its very stable, but it is pretty much just a open version of the regular tmobile os. THe only difference is the apps store is an older version. In your opinion, what is the best G1 rom and what are its percs?
thanks for all your help. This has been a working progress haha, finding a good rom and sticking with it. and can you give me a list of all the files needed for the best rom? if they have a step by step guide to it, thatd be great! i would look myself, but im still new at all this and there are like a bajillion different roms/ ways to load the rom. Im a PSP hacker, not an experienced phone guru

I would just so you're current on your recovery. The updated recovery has added features compared to JF's recovery

I would load the new recovery and then flash Super D. Again it's the most stable and is wicked fast. Yeah used to use myHero2.2 but i haven't updated my sig in a while. It's getting mundane at this point.

This is going to be more of a difficult question to answer. It just depends on what you're after. I really prefer Super D because of it's speed. Again its built from the Cyan roms so you get Cyan + extras. That's what I would go with. Simple, easy, and fast.

Well that's the cool part about the community here at XDA. All the files are set up for you. To flash a rom:
Code:
Download the .zip file and place it on the root of your sd card
Reboot into recovery
Make a backup (i prefer switchrom)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe EXT
Repair EXT
Flash rom from .zip
Reboot.
It's that easy.

The above link is a guide to rooting, installing vulnerable recovery and instgalling ROMs. 2.3 ROMs are not any different. Do the first steps and then choose a ROM (I like CM7 ) that uses 2.3.

Firstly, you must flash G.O.T 2.2.1 then you can follow some 2.3 ROM in this thread. I have try CM7, HO!NO!, ShadowMod, ... you can try theme

after flashing with G.O.T 2.2.1, that means that I have now the android 2.2 ? because if so...that would be enough for me now, I just want to install applications on SD card, ....as in android 2.1 is not possible.

Yes, you have 2.2 and rooted phone.
Worth a look at the 2.2 or 2.3 roms and themes though as once you are rooted it is just a case up putting the zip in the right directory of your sd card and installing it in openrecovery

ok. After reading the forum about rooting i have some questions.
I have downloaded from GOT homepage the RETAIL EUROPE (RTEU) fireware. According to the guide...first I have to flash with rds light the GOT_RTEU_2_2_1FULL and then with 'G.O.T OpenRecovery V2.0' root the phone and then apply custom roms.
My question is that I do not have to wipe data + cache + dlavik cache before applying ANY roms, lik 'GOT_RTEU_2_2_1FULL' - and this meaning that i have to instal first 'G.O.T OpenRecovery V2.0'.
By flashing with rds light 'GOT_RTEU_2_2_1FULL' means that I didn't apply a rom?

SBFs are usually a bit different then normal ROMs. They usually wipe the entire phone and radio firmware and other stuff.
If you use and SBF file using rsd, you are now on a different motorola version/platform.
I would recommend NOT stopping there. The GOT sbf is a useful starting point because it does 2 things at once: the vulnerable recovery and the new radio files. But as an operating system...it is FULL of bugs. It is a motorla leak from something like october.
There have been MANY since then. I would apply CM6 or at the very least a more recent moto leak (the 1-25 nandroid wors very well).

'HO!NO! CM6 mod by HO!NO! (As of now, this must be applied over CM6 as nandroid. Please ensure that the version of HO!NO! complies with whichever version of CM6 you are using. '
or 1-25 nandroid
i just need android 2.2 on my milestone 2.1 for now.

so first I flash with rds light 4.9 'GOT_RTEU_2_2_1FULL'
then install OpenRecovery-3_3
then use OpenRecovery-3_3 to upgrade 'update-cm-6.1.2-0.07-11.01.28-Milestone-signed' 0.07-11.01.2 and that should be it?
I'll start flashing...hope no errors

sounds about right

Just pick the 2.2 ROM that takes your fancy. 2.3 is still a bit bleeding edge so will have some bugs.

You are forgetting 2 important steps (read the CM6 install instructions)
1) Do a "WIPE DALVIK CACHE" and "WIPE CACHE PARTITION before installing CM
(you can do this from Open Recovery or Androidiani recovery).
2) You need to install the latest GAPPS for CM6 (check the CM6 guide for link) or you won't have Gmail, Market and all other Gstuff.
Hope this helps!

I do not find latest GAPPS for CM6. i found something on http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps , but i do not know witch should i download for milestone (medium-tiny (Tiny), medium (MDPI), or high (HDPI), and how to install it after download.
And market icon is not present into my meniu

You need the HDPI version. To install, simply put the zip file in the same folder as CM6 and and follow the same process. (Place in openrecovery/updates and use the install update.zip feature of open recovery.
You will have all google stuff after this.

1) i have never tried to change this setting. Best to ask in the question in the CM6 thread in the dev section.
2) if you want a consisent SDcard experience between wipes, look up the apps2ext module and feature (search the forum). It works better for this sort of thing. It is a non native way to store apps and data on the sd card (special ext2 partition) by tricking android into thinking it is writing to the internal storage.
By the way, no need to do a full wipe when upgrading a ROM. This is only recommend when switching ROMs.

Not all applications are recomended to install on SD. That cause problem and the phone restart eventually.

What the best 2.3 now on stone?

CM7#49

Hi guys,
pls can u tell me,what is new in #49 rel.?
I want to instal that #49,im currently at stock 2.2.2 rom.
My BB is : 1035.21_20110405
Phone is rooted and new cwm recovery installed from ROM Manager.
I wonder what works and what doesnt work in this #49.
Can i freely install this rel. or should i wait for some new rel.
Im not advanced user.
Thank you

Well, thats for you to find out with your curiosity.
Allow me to ask you. What is the difference between Android froyo and Gingerbread? Haha, huge different. Install it i believe you wouldn't regret.
As stated, video fails sometimes, but i haven't faces any fail recently... Other then that, i personally thinks its flawless.
Cheers goodluck

Thank u for reply,
i'll install it , just need to find SD card large enough to do a backup first.
Just to ask...
steps?
1.backup stock rom and data from recovery
2.clean/wipe data
3.install zip from SD card
4.wait to complete updating
5.enjoy?
am right?
One more question...
Battery life? Now my battery life is about 10h most.
Thank u

It doesn't matter an advanced user or not. And in that case, the CM7 nightly builds shouldn't be much of a problem for you. I haven't tried the CM7#49 personally, but i tried the #48 build and i found it to be pretty good. everything was working fine.

Ok i finally rooted my Nexus One with "UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.apk
It said Rooting was done.
I can see the SUPER USER app too.
But Titanium Backup says it cant access the root. What should be the problem ?

Ok finally got it rooted by installing BusyBox .
i was trying this : Darktremor Installation Instructions for a2sd
But i dont have the opton "partition sdcard"

I really need HELP please
I ROOTED the device.
Installed ROM MANAGER and tried the CYANOGENMOD 7.0.3
After the installation I get INFINITE loop of Cyanogen menu
I tried the RESTORE SYSTEM and no use.
I then installed the "81304b2de707.signed-passion-GRI40-from-FRG83G.81304b2d.zip"
Now again the same problem ...
I get Infinite Boot loops. Please Help

Wipe the device before loading a new ROM. "Wipe all data / Factory reset" option in recovery.

I did. But no use
Finally restored the backup i did yesterday. Now the mobile is switching on.
But acting odd.
Auto rotate of screen not working.
I cant move shortcuts or widgets on home screen.
If i move it they are automatically dwleted .. .
Please give me a simple process to change the rom.
Please

First off, if you are using CW Mod 3.+, go back to a pre 3. version or get Amon_Ra
If you go back to a pre 3. CW-- Wipe system 3X and all data/caches 5X, then retry
Did you reformat your sd card outside of phone with something like sdformatter and repartition 1gb 0 swap--back up card first and Nandroid
You may have jumped into this too quick, with only having phone 2 days
You need to flash Cyanogen rom then gapps then DT
I would study the CM7 thread, from OP page on--

3x and 5x does it mean 3 times and 5 times ?
When the system was getting the Infinite Looping.
I restored the recovery rom. And while the recovery process was hapenning it freezed at "LOST+FOUND" Had to remove the battery.
Today i was trying to backup the ROM again and again it freezed at "LOST+FOUND" . Had to remove the battery.
Is it normal ??
I read some HOW TO stuff but seemed very complicated. so Then i went for the YOUTUBE EASY steps videos. So I rooted with the APP i specified above. And went for the ROM MANAGER.

This is why I and others will always tell you people to read the wiki.
Flashing roms and partitioning the SD card with a ext partition while not even know a nandroid backup is....:-(
1. Boot the phone into recovery. Not sure if its still cwm since I don't know wtf you meant by recovery rom but eh.
2. In recovery factory reset/wipe clear data etc. Basically clean everything you can a option to clean/wipe/format EXCEPT SD card.
3. Flash a rom. . Flash gapps if its cm7.
4. Read wiki.
5. Read wiki.
6. Read wiki.
Basically get the phone running. Stop ****ing with **** until you have a clue what you're doing. Then have fun.

Well after using the same file many times. i finally got the CM7 running
Thank you all for helping me out . . .
Sorry for being so noob

glad you got it
you want 0 swap not 32
also, don't recommend, as mentioned, using CWMod 3.+
Definitely read wiki and scour threads from OP pages on to learn
I have 14 pages of bookmarks going back over a year from studying
Do regular backups of phone and sdcard
Good Luck

Newbie Here :-) MIUI Question!

Hi Forum
I'm still a newbie in all this android business, I try to read as many threads as possible before asking questions, however I just read A LOT about this MIUI, and people said there was released one for Optimus 2X? I just can't find it anywhere on the MIUI site.
Also if I do want this, how do I go about installing it? Can something go bad? I just don't want to brick my phone as I was close to doing so when I was playing around with flashing my SE phones
Help would be greatly appreciated
Kind Regards
~Neefy

Hi, you might wanna start and flash CyanogenMod first, also that is the best path to MIUI since the whole structure of MIUI for O2X is CM7. So go ahead to the CM7 thread and follow the guide there (I believe there is one).
I can't however tell you that not everything will go OK, since I don't know what knowledge do you have, but just be careful and everything will go great.
As for the MIUI installation it is somewhere in the only miui Thread at the moment in the development section.

miui germany .de celebration HD beta version ^^

i think they removed the link

I found the link, but what is the process? I understand I have to install RomManager, then clockworkrecovery, place the miui .zip on my SD card (only got internal, is that ok?), boot into recovery, "install from zip"
Is that all? Anything I need to do before?

i am also interested in this

Anyone with time and generosity who wants to help us newbies ?

External is needed if I'm right someone may be able to back me up with that but basically use rom manager to flash clockwork mod recovery (cwm). Use volume buttons to move up and down Recovery menu and power button to select, it's recommended to make a nandroid backup before flashing so you always have an go back to how it was if anything goes wrong. Next step after backup is to factory reset, wipe cache partition, go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache and battery stats. Now go to install zip from sd card and then choose zip from sd card and select your rom and flash and reboot. I'm new to this also so hope this helps.

but where does one get the zip image

The zip file is no problem, are you sure about the external SD thing tho? I don't have one

if you wqnt to flash roms you should get one. i got a 16gb one for about 14 euros from amazon

Could you link me to that ?

Wrong ! There are 2 versions of CWM. One for external and one for internal.
Go to dev section and search

As others have said, start with cyanogen to "cut you teeth" and then you can move to the MIUI ROM

MIUIUIUIUIUI is *dogshite* awful, but the installation process still remains the same. Flash zip. You do not need an external SD, you just need to read a bit more on recovery mounts.
Personally, CYANOGENMOD ALL THE WAY.

But what is the point installing cynagenmod and then installing MIUI right after?

the current MIUI for o2x is based off CM7.

But wouldn't it be the same as installing it from Stock in comparison to installing it from CM, won't I have to wipe and factory everything anyway?
Please clarify As said, I'm still very new to all of this!

if you are concern about bricking i suggest u make a nandroid backup or have another working rom on your sdcard. other than that process is the same.

Is there any way to do this without internet connection on my phone? My carrier stopped my internet connection because I forgot a bill I can't get rom manager due to not being able to get to market, any .apk or such?
