Hey Guys,
i have a problem with installing the SenseDroid Build by jerrytan93 . it says i need to start the Haret.exe , which i do. but the start up never come to the point, that i need to press down the volume button to enter the CWM. what am i suppose to do?
Edit:
The Haret always stops saying: cant mount SD Card. Cant countinue. Tried to format SD Card again and new Partitions. Nothing happend... Another Build isnt working for me either.
Thanks anyway
Joschilly
by the way, i do have the xperia X1, so dont get it, why it wont work. reseted my phone several times by now
I think your problem is in sd card partitioning!!
You must first create a fat32 partition, then the others!!
The message "press down the volume button to enter the CWM" will be appeared about 10 seconds after you run Haret. So keep your eyes on the screen.. If you dont press the volume down, booting will continues automaticaly and then fail.

Before start installing android that Jerrytan gave, You need to make partition on your SD card to 4 parts. one fat32, and the others ext3. After done, just follow the intruction..

My phone is stuck in the lil rainbow fastboot i guess screen. but i dont have a correct update.zip in my SD card. I cant restart my phone, what do i do?
Pull the battery and restart?
tried that. just goes back to the red green and blue
Isn't it CALL+MENU+END?
How did you get your phone stuck in the spl? Did you try to flash it? If not, check to see if the camera button is stuck against the casing.
If the camera button isnt stuck, you'll have to remove the microsd and write the DREAIMG.NBH file using a card reader.
Download this: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EMY1HIVU
Extract the DREAMIMG.nbh file to your SD card
Power off G1
Hold Camera button, and press Power button to entry bootloader mode.
You should see a gray/white screen with instructions to flash your phone with the update on your SD card.
Press the Power button to start upgrade procedure.
Wait till completely finished.
Restart your phone.
Go here http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=OTA_Updates for RC-30, RC-33 official updates.
thanks, thats exactly what i thought i needed to do, i just need to find a card reader to use... i can go straight to JF 1.5 right? cuz thats what i was running before. The story is that i tried to do a nandroid recovery from my computer and I dont know what happened after that.
after loading up the dream files can i just do the regular update to JF 1.5?

I believe so, I'm picky so I always do JF-30, then JF-33, then JF-1.5 just to be safe.....for me.
it didnt work, it said something like there was no file? its just that dreaimg.nbh file right? i dont need to rename it to update.zip? or anything?
double post, see below. sorry.

try and reformat your sdcard first to FAT32, just as a precaution.
then extract the dreaimg.nbh file to the sdcard, don't rename it.
it should be like 89,419kb.
pull the battery just to be safe, pop battery back in.
make sure your holding the camera button down first, THEN press power, keep holding till the gray screen pops up.
when it say to, press the power button to start the update.
let it go, just sit back and wait till it says to press action button (trackball)
since i was on adp1.5 before this, should i just try to put in adp1.5?
No update.zip
Make sure that card is formatted FAT32, and that the DREAMIMG.nbh file is not actually DREAMIMG.nbh.nbh (right click>properties-----make sure that the file is DREAMIMG.nbh, not DREAMIMG.nbh.nbh). If thats been established, it should work.
srry I type slow
it just says no image file?

try placing the .nbh image on a different sd card and see if it gives you the same prompt.
i just dl'ed telnet... and it wont connect to host or something? WTeff?!
thanks guys, got it to work =]. I fried two SD cards trying though hahaha. oh well. lucky i use my spare 1gb SD cards for modding my phone.
hi guys this is my first post on this forum although i have been browsing around for a few months. my problem is that whenever i connect my phone to my pc and mount it, the computer recognises it but whenever i try to add files to the SD card or format it, the phone disconnects and i have to mount it again. once i have mounted it, the whole process starts all over again and now im stuck in a position where i cant do anything with it.
has anyone had his problem before and is there a way to fix it or is my SD card faulty? thanks in advance.
Are you rooted? If so, what rom are you on? Just give us some specs on what you got.
no im not rooted, im on the oem android software. i was just about to format my SD card so i could start rooting it.
Is it the factory sd card? Do you got another card to try out? If not, try to format the card in the phone and then try it again to see if it still does the same thing.
yeah its a factory SD Card. itried formating it from the phone and now i can add files to the card but it still disconnects whenever i try to format it. is the card protected or something?

You cannot format it through the USB by mounting it
ok how do i do it then? should i just use a card reader? or is there another way to do it by using the phone? also thought i would add that it has started doing it when adding files to the card again.

You can put it in a card reader if you have one. I would boot into ubuntu and do it that way, also if you are in ubuntu you can do it through your phone.

The phone has an option too. Go to
Settings > SD and storage > Format Card
Since your stock G1, the other phone partitioning/formatting isnt available
ok thanks guys i formatted the SD crad uising the options on the phone, which now leaves me to my next problem. i have download the Rc7 file and placed it on he root of the card but i when i power on the phone holding down the camera phone it doesnt show the grey screen with the flashing options, it jus shows the screen which tells me the board type etc. am i doing something wrong? sorry for all the questions.

it doesnt have flashing options
press the power button (not hold, just press) and it should say that its flashing the image.
(look in the center of the screen, there should be a line of text that says something)
DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR PHONE TILL ITS DONE FLASHING
Btw just chiming in case it comes up as it did in the past. If you use Swapper app and have a swapfile image located in the fat32 area, it would cause DC issues or not connect right, back then it never hit me that the swapfile was being torn away from a system that was looking for it, which then gave me corrupt sd errors. (Granted it wasnt) but yea, just another thing to look out for to those using a image file still for swap.
Also how did your flashing go?
hey guys i just updated to CM 4.0.3.1 and it automatically installed move cache to sd, i also accidently installed teds hero theme, not knowing it wasnt ready for 4.0.3 yet, but now my phone cant read my sd card, therefore i cant mount/unmount it , could this be from the "move cache to sd" app? any help is appreciated, thanks guys!
Did you have your card partitioned with ext2/ext3/ext4? If you didn't then apps2sd won't work. And you can always mount your sd card thru adb.

Just partition your sd card with your fat32, ext2/ext3/ext4 (I would do ext3), and linux-swap then reflash the rom.
i dont know how, and my sd card doesnt even show up on my phone at all
btw im using my 1gb card that came with my phone

Do you have a card reader?
nope im suggesting my card is toasted or i have to do a wipe?
try booting into recovery, drop into the recovery console and type
ums_enable while your phone is plugged up to your computer. if that works, when you are done type ums_disable. that should allow you to mount your card in recovery
either way, i still dont know how to partition my car....i just want to be able to get it to be read so i can reflash my rom and go back to normal
which recovery image do you have?

we all had to start somewhere
do you have adb? if so just type adb shell reboot recovery
if not, then while stuck at the android screen press send, menu and call to reboot then hold home to boot into recovery.
once in recovery, does it have a picture of a green android, or what is the background of?
Is it normal to NOT be able to wipe the Dalvik-cache and ext partition??
It always gives me an error saying it doesnt exist? I am able to install ROMs and themes however. Any ideas or recommendations on what to do?

Do you mean the below?
Partition Fat32/Ext2 with App2SD
Open up Apps2SD
It will show you a screen telling you that your card is not partition and you will have a sliding bar to choose the amount of space you want for an EXT2 partition
I suggest a max of 600mb for EXT2 space (I use 500mb)
Press Ok
You will get a Force Close screen DONT PRESS FORCE CLOSE PRESS WAIT
You will get a reboot message, Press Reboot
You now have a EXT2 partition
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upgrading your EXT2 Partition to EXT3
Note: You do need the Cyanogen Recovery image for this to work!
Reboot into Recovery (Home + Power)
Go to console (Alt+x)
Press Enter
Type the following in the Console:
Code:
upgrade_fs
Wait for it to finish
Congrats! You now have a Fat32/EXT3 partitioned Sd Card!

If you get a error about run via console or something you should remove sd blow the slot then place the card back in. Your sd might be the prob though so see if anything changes.
I see i noticed you have a older Ra which has bugs you should upgrade to theh newer version that have those things fixed.

Yes it does say run via console, blew the slot several times and same thing, even blew on the SD card and nothing :-(
Perhaps it is time to change out this SD for a newer one, could be its going out on me?
Quote: I see i noticed you have a older Ra which has bugs you should upgrade to theh newer version that have those things fixed.
Upgrading to the latest and greatest RA is my next step, hoping this will fix my issue... thanks for all your suggestions so far.
@ilostchild: thanks for your input as well.
Okay so I installed the lastest RA Dream and am still getting the same error.
I am going to test out a new microSD and see what happens. I just have to make a temporary folder on my desktop copy, format the new SD to fat32 and copy the original files and folders I had back into the new one right?
Also, will me not having partitions be the whole reason behind it? Even the Dalvik-cache?

yes................ that would be a reason why you can't wipe your ext partition. you need to have an ext partition to wipe it.

Im good to go, got that installed since today 04:55 AM.
I think I found my solution the Sandisk 1GB was holding me back. Now I can even install the ROM Super D unlike before.
Many thanks to everyone for their contribution.
Hey guys, hope someone can help me
Actually I have Android on my PPC, I think that was Froyo version, but I would like to change flash an edited KAISimg.nbh. When copy it to my main folder of sd card pressing power + camera -> reset nothing happens, my android just normally boots up.
If any of suggestions about that will not work, another question is how to boot windows mobile instead android. Following guide I changed RUU_Signed.nbh with WP7 to KAISimg.nbh, I've put it on sd card, agian power + camera -> reset, and android just normally boots up.
Any ideas how I can solve that?
Thanks, emriv

Remove sd card?. Remember that android runs over WM through sd card.
I tried that, Android just normally loads up. Asks for SD card, but after few seconds it keeps booting up. I think It's just because I've installed it on NAND.
Cannot install on SD card because I get error like 'can't umount /data'

Flash your stock rom then, via sd card or usb . Remember to format FAT32 your sd card first, if you do it from there.
