ok guys here is the deal. I just flashed teamhacksung's CM9 ALPHA for Captivate (BUILD 16) and faced multiple problems :
-no service at all
-phone doesnt recognize internal sd card, and keeps asking to insert sd card to be able to use camera and media player
-no option to choose wifi that i want to use
-cannot connect phone with computer via usb even mass storage is on
I need help desperately guys as soon as possible!!! can someone tell how to fix these problems, or tell me how to fix connection problems so i can copy another rom to my phone, or maybe how to go back to stock settings and stock rom !!
try flashing different ROM, may be?
Nostalgia 2.1 is out.
Check the sticky in the dev section for an odin flashable stock rom. Don't use cwm. Start back at kk4, flash a cwm kernel (corn or similar), then try cm9 again.

Do this and try again. But before you go and flash things, make sure you know the way out first.

Hey guys i got new question for u, well now while im dealing with encryption problem i used the guide that yall mentioned and im having little problem (i hope its little) so heres the deal : whenever i try to pull or push file using adb i got device not found error. Im trying to push vold.flstab file that i somehow got out system/etc folder on my phone without using oull command since it wasnt working. I got it out and modified it but i cant push it back. How can i fix this error or how can i create a zip file to flash this file to my phone using cwm ???
Nevermind guys, figured out how to change that file (using root explorer) but now when i changed i was supposed to restart phone (thats what guide said) but phone now stucks on boot screen. really dont know what to do -.-
My friend says to me all the time... "your doing it wrong" and "just stop hacking your phone and u won't have that problem"

Yeea, I figured out that way now when my phone is totally busted, im gonna get new one (Captivate again) and not gonna mess a lot with it as I did with this one.
Really you shouldn't have to worry about completely messing up(but don't hold me to it) I thought I was done a couple times, but even when my captivate was soft bricked and my computer wouldn't recognize it, a USB jig pops it into download mode that we all know and love ... and from there you can flash back to whatever you like.
By the way...when is the last backup you have made? If it was right before you flashed, just go into download mode, flash to whatever you were on, restore your nandroid, then start over the right way(or choose not to flash that again)

I have the G1 since it came out on T-Mobile. Since then I have moved on to Samsung Vibrant, original Galaxy Tab and currently on the international Galaxy Tab 7.7 as my phone and tab. I would like the xda community help in unlocking my G1 for a backup phone on my current sim. One thing to know, I am no longer using T-Mobile, I am on Straight Talk. I have been looking online to find a way to get it unlocked but all I come up with is, steps to unlock using the unlock code from T-Mobile (again I am no longer with T-Mobile) this is no use to me, or just follow links to websites where you pay for the code (would not trust them).
Is there a way to unlock it without the need of an unlock code? The original Galaxy Tab was able to be unlocked using Terminal Emulator by a member here on xda, would this be possible to do on the G1? Another option that is not good for me is ADB as I have no clue how to use it, I am okay using terminal emulator if given the correct code. I greatly appreciate your help and looking forward to your suggestions.
solved.......
Ok, since i was not getting any info here i decided to go ahead and pay for the unlock code. I used http://www.unlock-htc.com/unlocking-HTC.php, even though i was a bit sceptical, they accept paypal so at least i could fight the charge if any issues came up. Also i was able to root my G1 using this site http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/23/how-to-root-the-htc-g1-dream-androot-method/. So now i have an unlocked and rooted G1. Next up flashing a rom, maybe.
yeah unlike some other phones no one has been able to sim unlock these phones without a code, at least to my knowledge. the only other way I know off for you to have gotten a code for free would be to try and contact htc directly or have some one you know with tmobile get it for you
I have rooted many g1s over time but never used androot, I have heard it works fine
you will definetly want to try out some newer roms, so many better than stock. and look into upgrading your radio/spl as well as a custom recovery to make all the new rom flashes easier

Could you let me know where I can find the info? This is my first time on the G1 forum, I am sure I can find it on the development section but it would be easier if I could get a link then I can look in roms after reading up on them.

well first off let me know what you have now, boot into hboot (power on while holding camera) and write down everything there
now boot into recovery and tell me what you see (power on holding the home button)
also have you downloaded the android sdk package yet? if not make sure you do this

well if you rooted with androot you should be ok, you now need to flash a custom recovery, I suggest amonra (also there is an app in the market that checks for root, I suggest use it to make sure) if you are rooted and have the sdk package on computer proceed
get a terminal emulator from the market as well as superuser and linda file manager, amonra image, put it on the root of sd card and rename it to recovery.img (if on windows it may auto put extention in there so name it just recovery)
open terminal emulator and type
su
then type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
wait a minute or so
now reboot into recovery

Sorry what am I using sdk for?
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium
you will need to get adb.exe and fastboot.exe and the proper drivers for those programs installed on your computer to do a full upgrade of your radio/spl.
there are ways around this but it will be much easier and faster in the future if you have this.
also safer to flash firmware via fastboot as apposed to recovery

Ok thanks. I have tried installing the sdk but keep having issues because it keeps saying I need Java SE even though I have it installed, need to keep trying. I am also waiting on a replacement USB cable I got from ebay so I can install the Amon_Ra custom recovery.

try to define JAVA_HOME as an environment variable containing the installation path of your java distribution and add $JAVA_HOME/bin (%JAVA_HOME%/bin in windows) to your PATH variable.

i installed the amon_ra image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669, followed your steps and i keep getting "flash_image: not found". I tried it by renaming it, original name, both with file on the sdcard and on the root of the sd card and still same issue.
reading through the link and my original post, I forgot the # sign, look through the op of your link and you will see the directions to do it through an emulator

find a thread called adb for dummies or something along those lines, it has a mini package in it with all the required programs and files to do minimal work (adb, fastboot, drivers, etc) it also explains how to use these functions (just a quick basic idea anyway)
the sdk package is big if you download everything, and unless you start learning to develop roms and or apps most of it will seem usless to you
your other option is to just root the phone the old fasioned way, following the cyanogen wiki completley starting with the downgrading with the dreaming.nbh file
I've used this method o so many times, the first time took me manybe half an hour because I had to read up on it and understand it. now when I root a g1 I'm done in about 10 mins with rooting, upgrading to the latest radio/spl and installing a custom rom and recovery. so in other words it isn't too hard or time consumming and you may have less issues

Ok so I figured out where I was going wrong, I needed to downgrade to RC29.
So I followed cyanogen wiki and did the following:
Downgraded to RC29
Installed Amon_Ras latest recovery image
Upgraded radio to 2.22.23. 02
Spl 1.33.2005
Then I tried to install cm 5.0.8 (the links for cm 6 are not working) it flashed properly but then it just gets stuck on the G1 screen. I redid all the steps and still same issue. Any suggestions?
PS I did noticed that my original radio is the same as the one I installed using cyanogen wiki, is this correct?
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium
very possibly, that is a stock radio for the g1, did you also flash the gapps/base to cm5? they do not come with gthe rom
if you need further help boot into hboot and write down everything on that screen

Hi all,

I had finally found solution to bring recovery into phone by this thread (any other didnt work)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166646
Then I try zip from mattlgroff thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123369,
in recovery is writen that flashing is complete, but after reboot there isnt any superuser application in drawer so it seems that phone isnt rooted.
I have XT890 JB, retail.en.EU, bootloader unlocked
Do you know where can be problem, or what Iam doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Hmm, dunno. Maybe reinstall the zip a second time? Otherwise, u can always use a pre rooted ROM from the development section

Hi all, I just got my HTC one today and love this phone. I unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp touch 2.6.0.0. The problem Im having with twrp is when it says to slide to unlock it will slide once and unlock but if i try anything else it just locks and wont slide again. Unless i hit the back button but will do the same again and again. Tried rebooting and anything i can think of. What i would like to do is actually install 4ext as my recovery but im not sure of how to do this now since my recovery isnt work right. Can i do it from fastboot and just install over twrp or do i need to wipe it first. Dont wanna go any further until i consult with the experts here first. Thanks for any input and help.
Cheers and 3 beers :good:

4ext isn't available for the One, however it is slated to be one of the first devices to be supported, however there is no release date as of now.
As for twrp maybe you got a bad download? Try downloading and flashing again.

That could be possible. So here is what iam thinking. I boot into bootloader and run fastboot, from there i can use a cmd prompt to just install a different version of twrp or cmd over what is there now. I dont have to wipe the current recovery thats screwed up?. Thanks by the way

Downgrade/flash a GB ROM (v20x) x=any ROM and your bootloader is unlocked and you can root and flash custom ROMs. You had ICS installed I guess. This does have a locked bootloader and cant be rooted properly. At least u cant install a custom recovery like CWM or something similar.

Wrong. If you install cwm or whatever other recovery and have the v30 (ICS) bootloader on your phone, it will say: SECURITY ERROR. Which means you are softbricked. If you have the v20 bootloader, it will work, since this bootloader is unlocked by default. That the recovery is accessible via this button combination is true however.

Man, I was on V30B stock (now on izs v2) and i could install CWM via Rom Manager and acces it from phone turn off with the key combo. But I have a problem....maybe you know the solve for it. I can't downgrade from ICS, not even with SFT. I can flash ROMs above ICS(JB , KK) but when I try to install a Froyo or GB (stock or custom rom based on GB) i get a bootloop.

I already read about your issue and also read about that problem more often, but we never found a solution to that problem... Seems like buggy/read-only storage. Maybe contact a LG dev, hope they can help you. But trust me, if you have CWM running, no matter how you boot in it, you have the GB or even Froyo Bootloader(uboot/xloader, dont remember which one it was exactly...)
But if you had the v30 (ICS) you would see a security error. Did you once maybe install a 2nd init ROM, which allows to boot two different ROMs? If you dont know what I am talking about, I can try to find it. I think it was a ROM by BPaul.
But OT END here. Lets discuss this in your thread.
