First of all...the best recovery for the g1 is amon_ra
Second of all...what rom are you trying to install?
Go into the bootloader by pressing camera+power
Tell me what your radio and hboot/spl is as of right now.

Hi,
I now have amon_ra, my Hboot is 1.33.2005/2.22.19.26i

Now choose what ROM you want to install
As of now you can flash CM6, Biffmod, and a few others with your spl and radio.
I personally recommend Froyobylaszlo (or Frayo, my mod of it...you choose). Its probably THE fastest and most full feeling rom for g1
There's ezgingerbread also
These both need a special radio and spl
Make your choice and ill tell you what you need next

Hi thanks for your help, im managed to get hboot 1.33.0013d/radio 2.22.27.08
froyo sounds good!

Find the thread for it and flash according to instructions!
If you need help ask here or there...
You're gonna have to partition your sd card...its pretty much a requirement
It'll wipe the sd

[SOLVED]Hero Rom for HSPL

Micro Hero Rom Installed
Hi i am looking for a Hero Rom for Hard SPL if any. i know that there is a micro Hero rom for any SPL...but after i install the micro hero rom i get lot of forecloses..and a blank homescreen with a notification bar ....
I use Amon RA recovery for Dream and i have switchrom so i have backups...
I have posted for help in the Micro Hero Rom and i talked to the Author of the Rom but so far no luck....
This is the ROM Post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561179
these are the instructions from the Author
"How to install:
1, Copy update file to sdcard
1b, If using a recovery older than Cyanogen 1.4, rename to update.zip
2, flash from recovery and if first time with this build, alt+w to wipe
3, in adb, type adb shell mount /system/sd; rm -r /system/sd/*
4, Reboot"
i have setup adb but when i type "mount /system/sd; rm -r /system/sd/*"
it says that "cannot remove /system/sd/* " or something...
Is there any other way to do it like from recovery??
I really liked the Rom
this is my SPL details
Drea100 PVT 32B
HSPL10.95.3000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.261
Current rom: Cyanogenmod 4.2.9.1
Partition: 512 mb EXT 3 94 mb swap rest FAT
I am sorry if my post is stupid and yea i did search a lot
That's it. The microhero, MAYBE Eugene's Espresso because I think he mentioned not having it made specifically for Haykuro spl. I would check it out

No, most of cyans apps are made for 1.6, this is 2.0 (2.1?). Some may work, but bluetooth won't, spare parts won't, contact and phone won't, etc...
And apndroid should should work.

It's laggy because it was made for the stock spl, if you had the danger spl it would be faster. And Hero isn't exactly the kind of rom you should be running if you want speed
yea...i didnt flash danger spl because some people said that it might brick my phone...so i didnt wanna take the risk...and if i have danger spl...i cannot run cyanogenmod...

You have a possbility of bricking yes. And that is wrong, spl allows you to have more space for apps and such. It doesn't limit your ability to flash roms, flashed cyan yesterday actually.

sry but im a compile n00b lol im a ubuntu n00b user as well and i was able to get the android sdk and get to ADB however when i did ./adb devices nothing came up? am i doing something wrong?
Try following this guide:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Upgrading_From_Older_CyanogenMod_or_other_rooted_ROMs
You have the 2.22.19.26I radio so you do not need the 32A/EBI1 kernel.

Phone only boots to recovery, nothing else!!!

Hi!
Yesterday my msging app wouldn't open so I rebooted the phone, something I do at least once every 2 days, and it booted into recovery without me touching anything.
This error would also show up:
E:Can't read MISC:
(No space left on device)
I can't do ANYTHING. It ALWAYS goes to recovery mode. reboot bootloader goes into recovery. power + camera button goes into recovery. letting it boot goes into recovery.
--all with the same error in recovery, the can't read misc thing.
Did anyone have this problem? I didn't even flash anything, i was just rebooting the phone like I always do and it just appeared. Any ideas? Is this bricked? I don't want to get a new phone until I know I've tried everything. I've already scoured the net for this error with no results.
Thanks!
What recovery do u have? Do u know your phone info? Running a custom Rom? What have u done to the phone before now?
Not bricked btw if u can get into recovery it's fixable

Hey, thanks for replying!
I'm using RA 1.7 recovery, not sure what phone info you want, its a G1, I'm using CM 6.0 RC1 and have been using for a month now, and before that I've just been using CM, keeping my phone up to date with the stable releases (I don't flash the nightlies)
I'm glad that its not bricked. The problem is that it ONLY boots into recovery, even if I don't press anything...
Thanks!

Ok. I'm looking for spl and radio. Do u have danger spl? Or firerat mtd patch? Sounds like u ran out of internal memory somehow and now won't boot into os is why I ask
Sent from my HTC Magic SparksMod using XDA App
Oh Gotcha - yeah I followed the guide on the CM wiki, so I have danger SPL i believe, and yes, I used firerat's MTD patch
If i remember correctly I used the "all" thing so it went through everything in that patch.
I did that maybe around the time I got CM 6 - so I've been using CM6 and firerat's patch for maybe a month before this happened.
thanks!

Interesting. U don't need danger and mtd patch they do the same thing. I'm confused but maybe u have conflicting internal memory partitioning and that's causing it. Do u have a nandroid backup u can go back to that will boot into the os?
Sent from my HTC Magic SparksMod using XDA App
I do but it gives me the same error:
"Can't read MISC: etc etc etc"
This happens when I try to do anything, data wiping, wiping the cache, anything!
I don't even know if it acutally restored the image or not or if the wipe actually happened, because the progress bar is always present for whatever I'm trying to do, its just at the end the error comes up.
In terms of wiping I've tried wiping everything and installing CM6, to no avail. I can't re-reroot the device or downgrade it because recovery always comes up instead of fastboot... I'm stuck!!
Thanks for your insight!
If u plug your phone into the computer and select USB toggle does your sdcard show up on your computer?
Sent from my HTC Magic SparksMod using XDA App
Yep! I can select that MOUNT SD thing and I can transfer files over. Thats what I did to try and flash the rom again, but like always it just gives me that error after its done.
Well i hope you have a spare phone for the time being. I will try to figure something out and keep you informed. Or someone smarter than me will come along and give you the answer. It seems several people have had this prob. but i have not found the solution. Has to be something you can do from a shell in recovery mode to create some space or something to get back into the os. Ill get back with you hopefully with some good news.

It would appear that you can run adb commands while in recovery using a shell. Maybe you can do that and use df to see what has low space. When you find that out you can cd to that directory and type ls and get a list of what is in that directory. Maybe delete a few things to clear some space? Can anyone confirm this?

Red Trackball "of death" - need some instructions

I followed this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726258 and run into serious problems that i can't seem to fix.
To be exact I am refearing to a user in that thread that mentioned he has a black screen, since version 0.33 of bootloader doesn't work for "lcd" (?)
However, since I had the same problem i followed his suggestion to use PASSIMG_Passion_KT_KR_2.15.1010.2_FRF91_release_si gned.zip from shipped-roms to get stuff working again. And it did - except the side effect that since then i have a red trackball as soon as the phone finished booting up.
I've tried all, followed the exact instruction for back to stock, formated sdcard, didn't succeed either, so now I'm stucked with this battery draining red light and researches on google gave a lot of hints in terms of moisture or overheat, no solution though.
Any help is highly appreciated.
I think the issue is in the misc partition, something might not be right there...
You currently have the misc img of a desire on your N1...
Maybe you could try to flash a default N1 misc image and PASSIMG of a non korean N1 that matches your current hboot?

So could it be that there's a conflict in a "protected area" that can't be solved, except by the approach you suggested?
You did follow the thread in your first post and flashed the Desire misc image (mtd0.img), right? I would try to :
1. unlock your bootloader so S=OFF (fastboot oem unlock)
2. get hold of an N1 mtd0.img dump with S=OFF and flash it

I absolutely agree and appreciate to get such a response from a pro!However, I am new to Android and trying to figure out a few things.

Amon, you helped me a big deal, thank you so much, you've triggered a dude to contribute. Big time!
I have the same problem and I tried to do the same method as Amon_Ra posted. But I get the following error message when flashing misc.img:
Code:

so I was wondering if I am suposed to rename the file as mtd0 and flash it trough adb shell as:

adb push mtd0.img /data/mtd0.img
adb shell

I'm not sure i dumped it correct, file is an attachment.
It's a vodafone nexus one with AMOLED.

Just to confirm, there is no personal info in the misc partition right?
I looked into my dump with an hex editor. The only readable part is something like "Google" and the stock firmware version number. Don't think that there's anything personal
Edit:
In order to flash this try the "flash_image" command.

Help! no reovery

Hi,
I tried to upgrade my Dream to a version of And 2.2, after flashing my phone was boot looping, so re reflashed to rc29 using xda's return to stock guide. It boots fine now in normal mode, but now I can't get into recovery and I cant get anything to flash, not even rc29 again. If I try flashing using the phone I get Model ID incorrect, with fastboot I get remote: not allow. Very few threads mention HBOOT 1.33.0014, maybe its the problem? Any help would be appreciated

you should make a gold card (just goole it)
or well can you update via ota, under settings look for updates, if you can get to 1.5 then you can use androot or maybe see if THIS GUIDE helps.

LIKE SO but at this point you need to move on, try some of the above stuff

ok went searching for update in settings and noticed firmware is at 1.5 , I didn't think it could update automatically without a sim? so I'm guessing DREAIMG.nbh didn't take? Just messed my recovery? I installed Androot and it says I'm "already rooted, root again?" The first guide you pointed to THIS GUIDE says for "Tmobile G1 only", should I go ahead anyway? The last one LIKE SO , I would like to try the rogers_1.89.631.1.nbh but it seems to have disappeared from the net. I'll look into the gold card idea this weekend. Thx for your input :good:

Well made a gold card, but got a message "main version is older" when I tried to update the image, I think the problem is finding the right image file. I thought Gold cards got around that? I guess I'll just use 1.5, doesn't have everything I want, but its working at least. thx for the help just the same
The gold card didn't take, may need to use a different sd.
But did you say you have root? Do you have a custom recovery? Maybe you can go about this in a different way, can you post everything on your bootloader screen?

I read your post to m3talmouth:
Find amonra recovery in xda, latest is 1.7 something
Put on root of sd card and name it recovery.img
Open a terminal and type
su
If you see a # procees
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
If you have an error it could be you need to add the flash image bianary or you have a bad download or named it wrong,
I figured It might work for me, now I have AmonRA recovery 1.7 :good:
So now following the guide you posted earlier http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Dream/Rooting_Branded_EBI1s, I should install the engineering SPL, then the EB1 port file, then flash cm 6.1.zip?
Hey good! Well if you have a custom recovery you are most of the way there, now remember you have a rogers dream and need tgo flash the proper radio and spl, make sure they are listed for your phone, check md5sums, flash radio first then spl then id recomend cm5 (faster) flash rom and gapps
Do this right, just the other day someone flashed either spl first or a curropt image and got a brick. Only warning so you don't but as long as you do what I said above you'll be safe

Well...I i did a nandroid backup, tried i now have the eng SPL installed, tried the CM 6.1 as it was easier to find for my phone + the port file, but it stuck at rogers boot screen. I've seen some posts for 2708 kernel but it never mentions this in any of the install guides. I have found CM 5 roms but only with the 2708 kernel and no mention of rogers, so I'm staying clear of those for the moment. Will search some more for CM 5, its not Android 2.2 though is it?
Cm5 is 2.1 but smoother than cm6 on these phones. You can flash the one in cm wiki just flash the right kernel on top of it. If you want to do the 2708+ update (I say a good idea) then just follow ezterrys instruction in his thread. Download radio and SPL, check md5sums, and then flash via fastboot. Now they can also be flashed in recovery but I don't recommend it. After that you can flash any of the newer ROMs and it won't mater that your phone was once rogers. But older ROMs (mostly eclair and older) will need a different kernel flashed on top of them

Success!!!!! I have CM 5.08 + 2708 installed and working, thx for everything, will try this mod for a while to see if it covers all I need, if so I'm good to go. :laugh: :good:
Awesome! You may need to move to froyo if apps you need aren't avalible on 2.1, there are many good aosp and cm variants just straight cm6 is kinda poor on these phones, try a few out, make nandroids so you can change back easy, there are about a dozen 2.3 and 2.2 roms that I feel run great on the dream and I personally keep a back up of each for a quick change

Do not forget that your phone is no longer EBI1.
You will no longer need to flash EBI1 ports.
On a side note, looks like you somehow got the 1.33.0014 update.
1.33.0014 is a bootloader released by HTC somewhere last year for HTC Dream. They claimed it was unlockable, and you could flash with it. I did the unlock process, and I can promise you that HTC duped us. It's not unlockable. The unlock does absolutely nothing other than change the text at the top. I even had someone reverse some of the code, and they claimed the code for doing fastboot flash doesn't seem to be there.
yeah the .0014 official unlocked bootloader is a crock, when it first came out i was about to test it and someone else here tried first, turned into a nightmare for him so i tell all to stay away! some phones it actually isnt too bad if better ways like hacked bootloaders or radio s-off has been found for it, but its a pain and you usually need to flash a rom in recovery, extract the kernel from the .zip and then flash the kernel through fastboot.
so yeah any phone that you dont need this option, stay far away from it!
