Just loaded Cyano ROM (newest), reboot is taking too long.

Hello!
I followed this guide and read the comments of everyone, and it's a reliable guide to rooting and installing a new ROM. The rooting went perfect, so I decided to go further and load cyanogen's latest ROM.
Power off your phone.
Boot into recovery mode. (Press and hold the Home key, then hit the power button).
Before you flash a rom file, perform a wipe. Press Alt+W to wipe the data and cache folders. You must wipe when going form different builds of Android.
Wait for the wipe to finish and the recovery image to display again, then select “apply any zip from sd”. Flash the zip file of your choice.
After flashing any zip you should be able to reboot your system and watch it load to the home screen.
After changing Android builds, it came take several minutes for the first boot. If you phone hangs on the animated Android logo, this is because you did not perform a wipe. If you are stuck in a boot loop, return to the recovery image and make sure you wipe.

-Taken from the guide
At the first time I rebooted it took me back to recovery, so using logic I rebooted again and now it is stuck at the T-Mobile G1 screen (the one before it normally shows the android)...
I know it's supposed to take several minutes.. but 30minutes is ridiculous -.-"
Can somebody please help me out before I do something stupid and remove the battery? Thanks so much..

You need to read a bit more then, because you would have learned that you have to install the 1.6ADP fro Htc before installing a cyanogen rom, that is one of the things you would know if you followed the guide in his thread...
-Best Regards

Don't think so It didn't say anything in this guide about that and several comments below recently show that they succeeded with the process..

You have to listen to cyanogen plus that might be a different rom like enom or something.Cyanogen has a different maybe tricky install method.
You need to goto his thread.

-Go to http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
-DL the 1.6 "recovery image" the file name is - signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip
-Then DL CyanogenMod-XXXX
-put them both on your SD card
-Boot up into Amon_RA recovery by rebooting and holding the home button, do a wipe.
-update using any zip to that "recovery image" (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip)
(it should auto reboot install radio then reboot again and load back up to the CMrecovery img screen)
-Then update any zip usig CyanogenMod (update-cm-xxxx-signed.zip)
-Then reboot the phone

Thanks a lot man.
I found the 1.6 ADP file and I have it downloaded onto my computer. Is there anyway I can put this on my SD card? It won't let me.. :/ If I could somehow get this on there, run it.. and THEN run the cyanogenrom.zip I think it could work again?

You need to delete the partitions with console while in recovery mode.
1.console
3.parted dev/block/mmcblk0
4.print
rm 1
rm 2
rm 3
quit
reboot recovery
Dont rename any of the files just leave them.
Now try it on your pc.

Thanks a lot for the help, I really appreciate it.
I took your advice and did those steps and it rebooted me into recovery like you commanded. I plugged it via USB into my computer hoping that the computer would recognize it and let me put the file on the SD card - but to no avail.
What is the next step I can take?

http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
I loaded the radio first...
and then I loaded the SPL...
and then I loaded the ROM...
I didn't go out of order. Was the problem that I didn't have the 1.6 ADP on my SD?
@Ace42: If I get a card reader and add the 1.6 ADP (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip) to my sd card.... and load it. Can you tell me what to do from there?
Do I load that zip and then reload the ROM?

You may want to try Dwang1.13 rom. I don't think his rom requires the extra step to get the google apps.

[GUIDE] Back Up and Restore your ROM (manual method)

For these steps to work, ensure that your Milestone currently contains an unprotected recovery image (eg. Brazilian 2.0.1 SPF or the vulnerable recovery SPF for 2.1 Milestones).
Also ensure that you have installed the Android SDK so that you can access your phone with ADB.
These instructions are mostly based on user poseiden's guide at alldroid.org, before the site went down and was cleaned up.
How to make a Nandroid backup
Download the ADBRecovery files from here.
Unzip the archive onto the base of your SD card, so that you have a /recovery folder and an update.zip (NOTE: if you had an earlier update.zip, it will be overwritten with the ADBRecovery update.zip, so back up or rename the original update.zip.)
Reboot your phone into recovery menu:
Turn off phone
Press Camera button, then press Power. Hold them both till you see recovery screen.
Press Volume Up and Camera button at the same time till you see the recovery menu.
Run the update.zip.
Connect via ADB and execute:
If you want everything backed up:
Code:
nandroid-mobile.sh --backup
If you don't want your installed apps + data backed up:
Code:
nandroid-mobile.sh --backup --nodata --nocache --nomisc
How to do a Nandroid restore
Ensure the Nandroid backup content is found under your phone's /sdcard/nandroid/console=ttyS2,115200n8 folder.
Ensure the /recovery folder and ADBRecovery update.zip is at the base of your SD card.
Reboot your phone into recovery menu:
Turn off phone
Press Camera button, then press Power. Hold them both till you see recovery screen.
Press Volume Up and Camera button at the same time till you see the recovery menu.
Run the update.zip.
Connect via ADB and execute:
Code:
nandroid-mobile.sh --restore
Type the name of the backup you want to restore.

Telus 2.0.1 unrooted backup
Here's a clean Telus Milestone 2.0.1 Nandroid backup. I found this one on the web, and then I removed the "su" and "Superuser.apk" files so that it's no longer rooted. Sorry, the original source is uncredited as I forgot where I got it from.
As far as I know, there is no shipped SPF of the 2.0.1 Telus firmware, so this is your only option to go back to stock.
http://www.multiupload.com/TA8V2QPJEO
I used this to restore back to stock Telus Milestone ROM so that I could return the device. The only thing different from the original purchased state was the recovery SPF, but that would be really hard to tell or to find out (just a version number difference).

There's a step missing from the backup process. You need to 'flash' the update.zip from the recovery menu before you can connect over adb.

You just saved my Milestone. Thank you x10!

(using xperia x10)
I've made a lot of modifications to my stock rom, and would like to share it.... so is system.img a valid way to share my *own* rom or mod ? (valid as in technically feasible? means ppl can d/l it n flash using recovery n use it?)
my main concerns are... will it boot on someone else's device? (i tried it myself... total wipe + clean stock instal, followed by flashing only my backed up system.img, *didn't flash data.img, only system* it took an eternity to boot first time but it ran)
second concern... system.img doesn't have any personal data right? logs, msgs etc are in data partition i guess??

Specs:
HTC Dream (G1)
Cyanogen 6.0(package) Had it from Release
Clockwork Recovery 2.5(The one that comes with the cyanogen)
Windows Vista 32bit
List of known facts:
CANNOT normal boot (Stuck at boot logo)
CANNOT boot into Recovery mode (Stuck at boot logo)
USB debugging mode is OFF
CAN boot into fastboot option by holding Power + Camera
If i can still be able to do Fastboot i need a noob guide or something
Because im far from understanding it
when i plug in the usb into my computer, my g1 says "Fastboot USB mode" on
but my computer does not have a single pop up or any devices shown anywhere
Except Android USB devices "MY HTC" found on "Device Manager" in control panel, when i plug in my g1
And if i remove that driver and disable auto device driver installing on Vista..i get "USB Device not Recognized"
I just want to know is there any hope for my beloved Mistress G1 or no.
Thank you all for reading =]

Well if worst comes to worst put the apropiate dreaimg.nbh on sd card and power + camera button and wait whill will bring you back to 1.0 but only do that if you run out of options, as im sure there are other ways of fixing your g1 with going back to 1.0

Thanx alot for actually replying and helping..i had like 20-30 views and NO replies..
Umm yea i figured that was my last option when HBoot kept saying "Looking for dreaimg" on sd card. I really dont mind doing that..
but i much rather learn a better method if possible =]

Ok so i basically used HBoot to get back to 1.0(unrooted)
Please close this and thank you, xda

How to do this without going back to 1.0
I ran into a somewhat similar issue where I was unable to flash stock system images via recovery (key verification problems).
You can use fastboot to flash images via command prompt (if in vista/7 be sure to right click command prompt and run as admin):
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.x.x.img
I used the 1.6 HTC Dev System (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-img-14721) and Radio zip downloads (not the recovery one): h ttp://developer.htc.com/adp. html (don't have enough posts to be able to link url so cut/paste and remove space)
Unzipped the 14721 zip and manually flashed each of the four images to the device.
fastboot flash boot "C:\....\signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-img-14721\boot.img"
and same for recovery, system, and userdata
You can skip a step here by flashing the RA-dream recovery instead of the stock recovery.
If you have a different radio version, you need to rename the radio zip to update.zip, toss it on the sd card, boot into recovery, and flash the radio update zip to the phone.
Remember to wipe both caches, battery usage cache, and restore to "factory default" options in RA-dream before booting into Droid.
You should remember to wipe your caches in this manner every time you flash a new image. This includes resetting to "factory default" (clearing the userdata currently stored) since that one is easy to overlook and often causes things to not work exactly right if you still have data left over from a prior droid install.
It should also be possible to flash cryanogen or other versions via this method, if you have separate image files for each component to use with fastboot (like how the 1.6 dev images I linked to were split into solid .img files).

[Q] need help! Can't get nanodroid to work again.

Hi,
I read everything i could find and I still can't get anything to work properly on the phone.
Is there even a milestone wiki so i know which version my phone is?
I got the open recovery thing to work once, but i can't get it to work again, it keeps saying I have a cache error. what do i do?
also, when I install app2card, it totally ruins my phone, is that app meant for my phone?
I tried to install app2sd, but it keeps saying busy box permission failed something.
I got my phone thru ebay, how can i check the region?
I just know I have an unbranded milestone.
I google all these questions and nothing helpful comes up.

Can somone please tell me how to get into recover again?
Do i need to reflash it?
I only got into it once and installed the zip.
but when i try to run the zip again, i get an error.

If you have nandroid file in your sdcard,you can copy and paste (anything that is important to you) to your PC.
1. Take out your sdcard and pluck it to your PC if your Milestone cannot switch ON
2. Format your sdcard via PC
3. Extract G.O.T OpenRecovery v2.00 or Androidiani OpenRecovery 3.3 to the root of
your sdcard. (you'll see OpenRecovery folder and update.zip) Put the sdcard to your
Milestone and enter bootloader.(Press and hold volume up+camera key & power ON)
4. Open RSDlite and connect to your Milestone. Flash sbf to your Milestone,stock ROM
or 2.2.1 G.O.T beta version
Guide -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696845
5. Your Milestone will be switch ON after flashing sbf is done. Turn it OFF and enter
into recovery. Press X button and power ON. Once you see the triangle and '!',
press volume up and camera key.
6. You'll see Recovery 2e, all letters in blue, select update and the rest is your choice.
You can nandroid backup if your Milestone works as before and restore your previous nandroid that you copy to your PC.

Yes i did that the first time and it worked.
but how can i get into it again to make a backup?
thanks

You mean you still can't get into the recovery mode after formatting your sdcard? Even with the button combination:
PRESS AND HOLD 'X' AND POWER ON THE PHONE, LET GO ONLY AFTER YOU SEE THE TRIANGLE AND '!' MARK ???

I get to the triangle.
and it get to the recover menu. but when i press install the zip again.
an error message pops up.
do i need to redo step 3 and 4 everytime i want to go into recovery menu?

what open recovery u r using? GOT or androidiani?
if its GOT then try switchin to androidiani to check if the problem presist, vice versa.
report back here if there is any improvement.
one more question:
when u enter the bootloader menu (pressing the up dpad and power key) wat bootloader version it states there?

Thanks
I'll try it out tonight been a bit busy this week.
does Flash sbf do anything to my system?
for example, will i need to reflash my current rom after doing Flash sbf?
I know for the x10 mini pro, after doing update.zip i will need to reflash the rom.
is it the same for milestone?

I still can't get it to work.
here are my steps.
My phone is already rooted.
and I already flashed the Recovery-Only SBF when i installed the new rom. (do i need to redo this step? Maybe I'm using an outdated version?)
Can someone link me to the file if there is a better one, all the links are dead.
I am using this version: vulnerable_recovery_only_RAMDLD90_78
I downloaded this:
http://groupoften.wordpress.com/2010/10/22/new-g-o-t-openrecovery-v2-01-launched/
I put the files on the root of my SD:
OpenRecovery
OpenRecovery-CFG (do i need this?)
update.zip
I press the Up dpad and power, I get the triangle thing.
I press the install.zip and still cache error?
E:can't open /ache/recovery/command
I don't get what the readme in the GOT is telling me to do.
it says:
create a folder in /OpenRecovery/recoveries ( for example "My_OR_MOD" i don't use space in folder name, to avoid problems)
does that mean I make a copy of the "openrecovery" folder and put it back inside the "openrecovery" folder? that means every thing will be duplicated? is this correct?
thanks
I would try the androidiani, but i can not find the english guide.
Edit:
just tried androidiani, and I'm still getting E:can't open /ache/recovery/command

[Q] ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.4 Bootloop

Phone will only boot into clockworkmod recovery, even after pulling battery and powering up using only the power button, it goes into recovery.
Here is what happend leading up to it:
- flash through rom manager the new clockworkmod
- used fireat's mod with mtd 125 2
- flashed aospCmod 2.3.3
- everything booted fine
- re-did firerat's mod with mtd 102 2
- now bootlooping into clockwork mod
I tried duplicating what worked initialy with no luck. Tried booting into hboot and htc reset menu (power + home + back) but not matter what it only goes to clockworkmod recovery.
For my install steps I followed romrepro "install from other rom" guide here: romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Install_from_another_ROM
I have also tried the following:
- restoring through nandroid
- recovery flasher v1.3 to flash older version of clockwork
- lots of stinking google
All have resulted in no success.
Please help!

Are you s-off? You probably shouldn't mess with firerats if you're not. Mount your sdcard in recovery and change your mtd settings and then flash your rom and reflash fr boot.
~maybe I set it too high...

Thank you for responding. I am not s-off and I already tried changing the mtd part, flash rom, flash boot, and it still autoboots back into recovery.
I re ran the mtd part map with the following:
- 102 2
- 105 2
- 110 2
- 115 2
- 120 2
- 125 2
- 190 2
I also tried flashing aospMOD v9.2.2 (which is what I was originaly using) flashing boot and still no success.

Wait, so it opens recovery by just turning on your phone?

If you're changing mtdpartmap.txt (try 125 25) you need to wipe ALL, flash fr-recovery, wipe ALL again, reboot recovery (safely), flash rom/gapps, flash fr-boot, reboot. Once you're in the rom, open terminal (su) or adb shell and type "df -h" and it will show you how much system, data, and cache, are using, you then can change your mtdpartmap.txt accordingly, follow the steps I just listed.

FYI step 13 is unnecessary, that kernel is already in aospCMod and boots at 691. I guess I would try FR-1.5.8 versions and see what happens (that's what I have), the steps look right to me. You could also try leaving out the gapps and see if just the rom boots, you could also try flashing the last working version of recovery you had (i.e. cwm 3.0.0.5). It's also possible you got a bad download of any one of the above items, so try new DLs too. Report back, I am now officially curious.

I am unsure how to flash another version of recovery, I always use RomManager and I am terrible with adb. I tried using some one of the herocimg.zip to "install from zip" and I kept getting "installation aborted".
I will try FR-1.5.8 and report back.

I first used adb and push and blah blah...... 8 months ago.
Then I discovered OneClick! I used to be way more into the technical side of this stuff and then got busy with work and now I am extra lazy!

FYI:
HERCIMG.zip is a partition zip flashable in hboot/bootloader and ONLY if you're s-off
HEROIMG.zip is the same thing, but for a GSM hero....
Hopefully you can figure it out. I hate to say it, but 99.9999999999999999% of the time something doesn't work that others have had success with, it's user error. I'm not trying to be mean, I often miss steps too and need to ask for help. I don't know what you COULD be missing since it sounded like you did everything right, but I would say re-read all the stuff you're doing and hope you see something you may have missed. Best of luck, and please report back if you fix it to help others who may see this thead in the future.

No offense taken. I have had plenty of practice with this with my phone and my wifes and never really had any problems other than user error that I usualy catch. And it's alwasy something silly like flash & wiping out of sequence.
Good information on the HERCIMG and HEROIMG, I did not know that.
Is there a way to RUU the phone from a recovery zip install, (seeming how that is all I can access).

Not that I know of but you should be able to do it from the bootloader (hold volume down press power - from an off state) and run the RUU.exe from HTC.com.

lol, yeah, that just puts me back in recovery...

Well that's nuts. I don't know how you don't have a bootloader, but you do have a recovery... anyway, I guess grab the FR-remove zip that correlates with whatever FR version you have and run the steps again, i.e. wipe all, flash FR-remove, wipe all, reboot recovery, etc. Hope that works. By any chance did you format /misc in the mounts & storage menu?

Format /misc is not listed anywhere. I'm at a loss. I have tried everything over and over and I am still getting the same results. The only thing left I can think of is to redo everything via adb. I'm not 100% on how these phones or linux devices work but it's as if there is something worng with the boot sector and/or sequence of the device.
It doesn't make sense that the first run at all this was flashing aospCmod (mtd 125 2, FR-1.5.3) and everything was working normal. I decided to go back and redo the process with (mtd 102 2, FR-1.5.3). Now this has to be where I or something screwed up. Maybe I did things out of order, got a bad flash, something but I do not know what. When I rebooted, just a normal reboot, it went directly into recovery. Now I have flashed a rom before and had the mtdpartmap.txt too low it caused it to hang on the first boot when the logo for the Rom was shown during loading. To fix this I just adjusted the mtdpartmap.txt.
This time things are different. When I power the hero up the phone vibrates, the white backdrop with green HTC comes up, it sits for approximately 5 seconds, then recovery loads.

Not sure on the hboot. When I simply turn the phone on it boots to recovery. I used to have to press and hold power + home to get into recovery. I also used to be able to press and hold power + home + back and get intot he htc reset menu (or whatever it is). Prior to this happening I never tried to get into hboot (vol up/dn + power) however if I try to now it just goes to recovery. All combinations I have tried it just boots to recovery.

Something about these steps didn't seem correct to me, so went back and read.
After step 8. flash fr-recovery
It says you went back and repeated steps 1. - 7.
I believe you only need to repeat steps 4, 5, 6...the others are probably optional, but I'm pretty sure 3. format boot...is something you don't want to do AFTER doing fr-recovery. then again, I may be overthinking it, and might be completely wrong. I'm sure someone will tell me
My own personal rule is to not make any assumptions and follow the steps listed and don't add extras.
(also, I violate that rule occasionally and usually end up doing a lot more work)
