need help! sorry in advance

so im new to the android world please be gentle. i just got my nexus one today trying to get it rooted so that i can get the modacos desire rom up and running. so far using these instructions
http://theunlockr.com/2010/01/08/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-nexus-one/
ive gotten the phone to reboot with a padlock at the bottom, it will let me run torch so i assumed it was rooted. i put both nandroid folder and the sense ui rom zip files but when i try to put the phone into recovery mode it gives me the android dude and an exlamation mark. sorry if this is a common problem or i missed some simple instructions. thanks for any help.

Sounds like you did step I on that page, but might have missed step II completely and didn't flash the custom recovery rom.
Try here instead for a full tutorial on the exact steps needed to get to the Desire rom:

But you can skip the unlocking of the bootloader, as it seems you got that done.

amazing! thank you

hey ive tried a couple different methods but cant seem to get rid of this com.google.process.gapps message after i enter my google info. ive removed everything from my memory card. wiped a hundred times, flashed several diffent roms. it popped up first on the newest cyogen rom after installing a couple of programs, not sure which one did it. is there a way to manually clear the google info on the phone because it seems to be stored in there. thanks

So I'm assuming you already got recovery... Did you wipe data / cache / dalvik before flashing the ROM? Did you also flash Gapps? Give that a try. That should help.

yeah i wipe all the devlik/ cache along with regular wipe each time before a install. what is gapps?

GoogleApps.

cool that did it, back to cyogen, wish the desire rom was as fast as the cyogen. thanks for the help man!
if theres a desire status bar i want to install can i just flash the zip or do i have to back everything up do a wipe and install everything all over again?

Yes, you can flash themes over the ROM without wiping, as long as the theme is compatible with the ROM.

[Q][Still not Solved] Nexus one getting buggy with 7.1 mod

Greetings fellowmen!!
Recently i thought of rooting my nexus 1. So i did some research and found out that the easiest way to do it was by unlocking the bootloader installing a custom recovery (I did Amon Ra) and then wiping the data\factory settings and flashing the cm 7.1 zip. So i did all the above and there you go....I had an n1 running cm 7.1 smoothly but then after a few hours it starts to piss me of. The problem is that whenever i lock the homescreen with the power button and wake it up again it just displays the main homescreen and does nothing i cannot navigate to the left or right homescreen cannot open app drawer in short it just hung up there doing nothing. I had to take out the battery atleast 15 times. I rebooted my device and it kept on giving me the same problem.
So then i reflashed cm 7.1 by wiping the data and factory settings and installing it again. But still it gave me the same problem. So then i thought of flashing 7.0.3 version instead and surprisingly that works like a charm. So is it the mod thats buggy or is it my phone.
One more question. I have the stock 2.3.4 gingerbread rom which i got from here!!
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061648
This one in particular-
GRK39F OTA (stock vanilla - odexed, unrooted):
MD5: 35C8B4B9FD22DD4CA19C5D026E74411D
So to install this rom do i have to install it the same way i did cm by wiping data/factory settings and then installing flash from zip or is there any other way to do it ?
Thanks in advance for taking out valuable time and reading my long problem!!

I am running the latest version of CM 7.1 that was released within the last week or so without any issues. Got it from here. http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=passion
Before that I was running the RC for 7.1. One thing to try it wiping multiple times before flashing. I assume you are running Amon RA 2.2.1, which is the latest. I have never had a problem with that recovery, however I flashed my ROM with this recovery. So far I think I like it better than Clockwork and Amon.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291970
As for installing other ROMs yes you do flash them the same way you flashed CM.

So are you saying that it was the recovery that was causing the problem?
Yes I am using the latest Amon Ra 2.2.1 version.
I also got the rom from that link.
And can you explain whats the difference between all these recoveries?
Thanks for replying!

I am not saying it is the recovery, I highly doubt that is the problem. I was just comparing differences. There does not seem to be much difference in the recoveries for what you are trying to do. The recovery I am running is a fairly new one that I just wanted to test out. I do think I like it better than the others.
First thing I would do is wipe 3, 4 or 5 times before flashing. I have had rare occasions where a single wipe would not do it for me. Also have you verified the Checksum of the CM download? Does recovery say it installed successfully? I have also had error installing a ROM in recovery but then had the phone still load the ROM.

Yes i did check the md5 checksums and they match perfectly. Though i did wipe it out only one time so maybe that could be the problem. I think i should get clockworkmod and wipe it through that and then flash cm 7.1. Amon RA doesnt really give us the option of wiping the system partition. right?

Correct Amon Ra does not have an option to format system partition. It's recommend you also wipe system when coming from a different ROM.
Try this file by temasek's, format-signed.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/?8vbd13b440coxx6
just flash it in recovery and it will clean everything, now you can flash CM7.1 again

Are you sure you can't wipe the system with Amon? I remember having that option, but it's been several months since I have used that recovery. Kind of makes me want to flash it to find out.
Before flashing a different ROM I always wipe system, cache and dalvik cache. It is definitely important to wipe the system before flashing a new ROM. I'm sure that is where your problem lies.

No, ClockworkMod has it, but Amon_RA doesn't. Supposedly it is in the works for the next version, but that was a long time ago when I heard that (probably back when v3 for clockworkmod came out).

I did a nandroid backup and flashed the format zip file and then flashed cm 7.1 and its giving me the same problem!!
I had to restore and go back to 7.0.3
Why is this happening
Edit: I also wiped the dalvik cache and factory reset it also but still it just freezes!!

Any advise?

Have you tried downloading the file again maybe form another location I doubt this is the problem but sometimes it's something you don't expect.
You could try from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version

But how does it matter I checked the md5 checksum and it matches!!

Why not stay on CM7.0.3 theres not much difference between the 2
if you dont want to i suggest to try to flash Clockwork recovery and do a full wipe then reflash CM7.1

But still I want to see how 7.1 is!
The main point here is to upgrade and not taking the alternative of staying at the older version!

Please guys any help would be appreciated!!

Doesn't CM7 need clockworkmod 3.x?? Try to flash CWM3.x over Amon if you can get your hands on the flashable zip or if you can get into a working rom, use romManager to switch from amon.

Make no different if you use amon Ra or CWM. I would definitely stay away from cwm 3.x or higher if you're using sd-ext

Looks like Ill have to stay with 7.0.3 there doesnt seem to be a solution!!

[Q] Restore to Factory Defaults

So I've got a Sprint-branded Optimus Black. Rooted the device via SuperOneClick, and installed Clock Work Recovery Mod. Unable to flash any rom, get error "error in /sdcard/<romname>.zip Error Status 1". Checked MD5s, all match.
So I decide to restore to factory defaults. I go to Settings, Privacy, Factory data reset. When I do this, the phone only restarts to Clockwork Recovery mod. It will only boot into CWM unless I "wipe cache partition". After this, I can boot into stock OS.
So what the hell is going on here? My goal is to get CM7 running on this device.
What do I need to do to get this going?
I didn't see any solutions in my forum search. I would appreciate some input.

Sprint-branded eh ?
are you talking about Black or Maquee ?
cuz they're both twin brother, but Marquee runs in CDMA
CMIIW

But though doesnt have anything to do with booting problems, he only wouldnt have network.
Your issue can be solved as follows.
As u said, u want CM7 on your device, download the nightly version, that you like.
boot to recovery, make full wipe (factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic, wipe battery stats (both under advanced) ), go to install zip from SD card, choose zip, install it, reboot and enjoy
But as it seems, that your not that familiar with modding, flashing and so on, better first read some on those topics, in order to get the needed knowledge

I've already attempted to install CM7. My first post explains this. Let's review the situation:
* Rooted
* Installed CWM
* Attempted to install CM7, got status 1 error.
* Attempted to wipe phone, but it only boots into CWM.
I'm not sure what the problem is. I want to restore the phone to stock, and install CM7.
Anyone got a solution? If I can provide any other info that would be helpful, let me know.

where did you flash CM7 from ?
Rom Manager ? or Recovery ?
it boots into CWM,then, can you wipe it from CWM ?

Did u follow all my steps? Download (maybe try a different nightly version), Boot to CWM, Wipe EVERYTHING, as mentioned above, flash zip and everything should be fine

I've tried flashing cm7 both via rom manager, and directly in recovery. Same error (status 1).
It seems I am somehow unclear about my problem. Here are some images:
If I try to factory reset via Settings, Privacy, Factory Data Reset, the phone restarts, and boots into ClockworkRecovery Mod.

It will not boot to the Android OS until I perform "wipe cache partition".
If I try to flash cm7 (I've try five different nightlies) via CWM, I get this.

Again, I have full root. I have CWM installed. I have tried several versions of cm7, checked the MD5 on each one.
What the hell is going on here?

I've performed a full wipe from CWM, yes. I still get the same error.

Update ur cwm... u have version 3.x i think 4 or 5 should be normal... so go to rom manager, select install cwm and install latest version. It might also be, that ur phone isnt compatible with cm.
Is it really p970, or is it maquee, or p970h? Check it pls ;-)

If I go to Settings, About Phone, it is listed as Model # LG-LS855.
If I go to ROM Manager and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery", it detects the phone as a "LG-LS855". Then it throws up an error that says:
"LG-LS855 does not have any officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet. Have you installed a ClockworkMod based recovery manually?"
To which i can answer yes, or no.
So, how should I go about updating my CWM if Rom Manager tells me it isn't officially supported?

Just checked and my version is v5.0.2.6
Edit
I just checked your pics and it seems you have lg marquee and there are no nightlies availiable yet...
Check here:

Interesting... Thanks for your help.
So since I have a Marquee, I'd like to remove the CWM I have installed and just stay on stock with root.
How do I remove CWM?

The best probably is, to simply flash a fresh version of your software via B2C, then noone will see it has ever been rooted.

Galaxy S bootloop

I wanted to flash custom rom on my galaxy S. I flashed clean rom, then kernel with CWM, but there is a problem. Everytime I try to flash rom it ends with bootloop. I tried cm7, cm10, rootbox, miui 2.4. Every time is the same. It starts installing (only few secodns), then screen becames brighter, then restart and bootloop. I tried different kernels, roms but still same result.
ps. sorry for my english

Hi, here is a great guide to fix bootloops:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660596
Usually, doing factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache before and after intalling the ROM should fix the issue though.

I'm doing all necessary wipes, I can recover from bootloop easly but I want flash custom rom and I can't. Istalling zip lasts few second, not few minutes, there is a problem.

Sorry if this is too basic, but are you using the right ROM for your phone?

of course...

I don't know if I'll be able to help you, but can you please list the exact model of your phone just in case? You can see the different variants here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S#Variants

It is just GT-I9000. Now I managed to flash CM7.2 but if I want install CM9 or CM10 im getting bootloop and can't enter recovery mode ;o

Sorry, I can't really give you an answer with that information. If you are following the steps in each ROMs thread, you should have no problems patching as far as I know (someone more knowledgeable than me may say otherwise).
Maybe posting the exact steps you are following would help me or others to find out what the issue is.

I'm following right steps. It's not my first phone. I know how it should be but it isn't. Here are my steps:
Flash stock ROM w/ODIN v1.85 - OK
Flash CF-Root w/ODIN v1.85
Wipe Data/Wipe Cache
Phone now rooted OK
Boot to CWM Recovery
Install zip from sdcard
Select update on SDCard (cm-7.1.0 from CM site)
Flash completes in just a few seconds
Phone reboots automatically
Now stuck in boot loop
Remove battery
Go to CWM again and reflash CM7.1 zip
Now i have CM7
Reboot to recovery, facotry reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik
Flash CM9/CM10, finishes in few sec, reboots, then black screen, can't go to recovery mode ;(((
Flashing stock with odin again...and every time is the same, sometimes when I choose CM10 i see info: "Incompatible Partition Layout" so it may be the reason (something with partition, idk)

My phone has never rebooted like that, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I do know I use ODIN v3.07. I also have CWM 6.0.2.7
Best of luck finding a solution, sorry I could no be of more help.

I think CWM6 would help but I can't find this version for cm7

IGNORE ALL LINKS BELOW, they are for the wrong phone
I don't think it matters what CM you have on your phone, you should be able to upgrade CWM from recovery: Maybe not in i9000...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843825
Doesn't work in i9000 as far as I can tell: You can also try installing TWRP, which I like better than CWM and have in a different device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694617
Finally, and don't take me on this because is just a guess, maybe your bootloader is not working properly? I don't really remember how to do this myself:

You are showing me links to CMW and TWRP for i9001, I have i9000...

You are right, please ignore those links... I do know I patched CWM 6.0.2.7 through ODIN on my phone, so maybe that's the only way. In any case, I'll let you look for the actual links.

Well i will need to search properly. But a wipe is usually recommended when you are installing a new rom. It is NECESSARY when you are switching roms which have a different base. Like Stock Android based ROMs like Cyanogenmod to Sense based ROMs like ARHD or vice versa.
