Ive tried installing Cyanogen about 10 times on my G1 and it always ends up the same no matter what guide i use. Ive tried so many different "stable" versions of Cyanogen i dont even know where to begin. I downgrade to RC29 fine, Install the radio update, and gain root access. Then i boot into the Home+Power menu and install Cyanogen through the Alt+S install prompt. Then the phone reboots and either hangs at the G1 screen or loads to the Cyanogen (Blue text) Android screen and hangs there and the screen eventually goes black.
Another time i installed a more recent version of Cyanogen, After about 5 minutes of sitting at the android screen it would load, but all the applications would instantly crash and i would have no choice but to turn the phone off. Does anyone have any idea what im doing wrong. Ive been searching every android forum for the past 4 days and cant seem to find a solution to solve this problem.
I don't know if this will work since you don't have a Cyanogen ROM to begin with, but you might try the Cyanogen updater app in the market. It is unbelievably easy and does everything for you from downloading the rom to rebooting into recovery and automatically flashing it.
Did you partition you sd? I am pretty sure any cyan mod requires a fat32 and ext2 oartition for the auto apps2sd.

Nah, it works fine without an ext2 partition, once you create one it will copy your apps over and set it up on boot. It does seem to have issues when the partitioning isn't right though. I've found doing partitioning in recovery console most reliable.
I have the same problem and to me it DOes have issue when the partitioning isnt right cuz I failed the partition... in console it just didnt work, and now everytime I try to reinstall the rom it turn black after the blue android logo...and from there Im stuck, I just dont know what to do to make it work...
have you tried checking the md5sum to see if you got a bad download. i got one once and nothing would work
MD5 sum matches up fine. Is there anything else i should be adding to this procedure?

I do this guide word for word and end up with that black screen i was describing before every time.
Install CyanogenMOD 4.0.1 (Stable), Right after that section of the guide when i reboot my phone, i get the black screen after the android logo sits for about 5-10 minutes and i cant continue with the guide any further although im assuming the other guides after this are optional.
have you tried the latest 4.0.4 rom?
Yessir i have. Ive tried 4.0.2 and older versions as well. No luck just different problems.
Can we install another rom other than cyanogen on the cyanogen recovery? cuz if so ill try to install a rom that dont have app2sd just to see...
Ive find my problem now my cyanogen work...it was my sd card that is not well partitioned even tough I reformated it to fat32 it just wont work..so after installin the cyanogen rom i just removed the sd card and it worked fine...so I guess ill go buy a already partitioned sdcard cuz im havin problem with theses...
I can't believe that no one has said this to the op but did you wipe before flashing
yea wiped... but now how to I proceed? I need an sd card...
If I partition my sd card outside of the cellphone and put it in, will cynogen rom will recognize that app2sd is possible or I will need to reinstall the rom?
I was suggesting wiping to the op mesh, forken, yes you can partion the card outside the phone as long as you have a fat32 partion on there since it is the only file type that the phone will recongize as a non operating storage place for your roms and other files
partitioning is so simple, just use console and follow the guides. Make sure you know what size your card is and you will be fine. You can't buy a partitioned sd card so your gonna have to figure it out.
once in recovery goto console
hit enter after each line
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print (this will give you your sd size in mb)
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 xxxx (xxxx is the size you get in print MINUS 512)
mkpartfs primary ext2 xxxx xxxx (first xxxx is the size of your sd MINUS 512, like we just did. 2ND xxxx is the full size of your sd)
then goto recovery and click fix/repair ext filesystems.
well yes you can buy a pre partion, theres a android website where you can buy pre partition sd card anyway you like it...
the problem is that my sd card is bugged now I think I need to fix it before trying to partition it again...cuz it wrongly partitioned..
Really you can buy pre partion cards, I think I just found my next scheme to make money since I can use the partion editor in ubuntu in 3 minutes so there is 60 minutes in an hour, so that's 20 cards an hour and I am lazy so 5 cards a day. How much is the mark up on these pre partion cards, I can out do them by 50 cents, make a link to my website for them in my sig and prob make a little profit, yay, go ignorance and laziness
ahah ill post it...
Do you know if I can fix a wrongly partitioned sd card... with just trying to partition it correctly? or I need to fix it first?
Sure, wipe it completely clean, it's called reformating. Make new partions, whichever way you are using for partion does not seem to be working for you so I would suggest trying to find another way, try googling gparted like I told you before to do and give that a try
just format the card to FAT32. You don't need an ext partition to run cyanogen, you just need it if you want apps2sd. And do a low level (not quick) format.
ive tried to reformat to fat32 and it does the same thing...
As i see, more and more people are asking, how to install Android. And since previous tutorial is outdated, i will create new one.
So, first some theory. There are two types of releases: ones with ext2 partition and ones without. Second ones are much easier to install (just copy files to SD card), but ones with ext2 partition are faster and works overall better. All newer releases are with partitions.
So, how to install Android?
1. First we must prepare our SD Card. You will need 1GB+ Card. Some users are reporting that there are problems with several cards, so i suggest you stick to card you got with your X1 (it works 100%).
Now it's time to hook SD card to your computer. You can transfer files via X1, but I recommend getting a card reader, since file transfers will be more reliable then.
Before you begin, backup all your files on SD card. When partitioning, all data on your card will be deleted.
So, let's begin. Partitioning is fairly easy, but instead of writing this in text, i will show you video guide of creating partitions (thanks to user e334 for making this tutorial):
(Program in the video is Minitool Partiton Wizard. Grab home version from their page.)
2. After we properly make partition, it's time to download android build. Beware, that root of your SD card will be messy. There is a method to run it in folder (Andboot), but i didn't manage to make it right.
In the time of writing, (my opinion) best release is neopeek's SuperFroyo + v2c kernel. But releases are changing rapidly, since Android is still under development. I will try to update that page, but i suggest you always check the forums for some new releases.
As you can see, this release is in two parts (main release + kernel). But most of the time, there are releases with kernel included, so you don't have to download it separately. So anyway, download and extract main release, kernel and modules into root of the SD card (leave modules in .tar.gz file!).
After copying, use safely remove hardware before disconnecting SD card.
Now it's time for big final. Open file explorer on your X1, navigate to StorageCard\npkinstall folder and click install. If you have done everything right, your phone should go into "text mode" (black screen with bunch of text) and after about a minute, it should start displaying long list of files. That means it's installing android to EXT2 partition. When installation finishes, it will automatically reboot.
Your X1 Android is ready to use now. To launch android, open file explorer, navigate to \StorageCard and tap HARET. Again, it should start displaying text and after that logo should appear. When android appears to be loaded (start wizard pops up), leave it for another several minutes, so Android can initialize all background stuff it needs to.
Happy Androiding!
Frequently Asked Questions
How to return to Windows Mobile?
Simply restart your device. Android won't alter Windows Mobile or on board storage at all, so your windows mobile stays intact.
So, now my Windows mobile is running in background?
No. HARET will shut down Windows Mobile, so Android can have all the memory for himself.
Battery life is very short
Yes, android power management is not very good. But it's getting better, especially last days there were some major improvements in that area.
Camera/FM Radio/Something don't work
Android is still under development, so not all features are working yet.
I can't see my new EXT2 partition in windows
That's OK. Only linux sistems like Android and Ubuntu can see EXT2 partition. Although, you can install 3rd party software, that can add ext2 support to windows (google for "ext2 windows").
How big should i make ext2 partition?
EXT2 partition is system partition for Android. It needs to be big enough to fit all android system files in, but there is no point to make it too big, since data is stored to SD card anyway. Somewhere between 300 and 500MB should be fine. Make it 512 if you have space to spare or 300 if you are really low on SD card space.
I can't enter my SIM PIN!
PIN is currently not working in Android. Turn off PIN in Windows Mobile.
matejdro.. you are one of the best "teachers" thanks a lot.. very kind if you could update this threat everytime if something is new, because there are a lot of new kernels and things coming in.. i try to get in to this matter but at the moment all i understand is.. chinese mixed with japanese.. hehehe

Nothing is wrong.
Actually, Windows can't read an ext2 partition, because it's a linux-based partition.
About the size.. i don't know, but i followed the tut' and put the same size. It works well.

Yep, i have realised that windows7 is unable to read that partition because i did install the android on it and everything went fine. My partition is 450mb large and its working normally. This is so much better then other xdandroid version beacuse with this build you can connect x1 and the pc via usb .
Added both questions to FAQ.
thank you so much for this!
can someone please give the proper instructions on how to use the andboot floder does the folder have to start with capital?
and the v3c kernel needs to be run using someother programs and methords which are there in that thread can you help me with them?
Is it necessary to leave some unallocated space on SD card as shown on video ? And what size of swap partition should be ?
I'm not sure why he left unallocated space, but it's not necessary.
For swap partition, I'm not even sure if android uses it. You can live without it.
hello
I need help
If i start the exe it boot.
But when it is finished it restarts and then there is windows .
Whats wrong ?
Have you done everything correctly? Delete everything and try again.
Also, what is your battery level?
I have successfully install Android with ext2 partition on my X1. But, when I boot to Android, it always hang.
Sometime it hang at the first boot (when Android ask me to configure Google account to sync), sometime it hang when I try to change Android setting, sometime it hang when I play music, but often it hang when I put Android on standby (I press the power button).
I use 4GB SD card and partitioned it into two partition, FAT32 2,5GB and ext2 450MB.
I have try two Android build : CyanogenMod 6.1 and X1-frg83-06112010. Both have the same problem. I also try replace the kernel (zImage) with sp3dev, but the problem still there.
The other thing I try was extract androidinstall.tar.gz directly to my ext2 partition, but Android still hang.
Do you ever encounter this problem? How to fix this?
Hello
Now i have android all is ok and does go.
But one problem if i press the ok and the other buttons does go.
But a little time later no buton does go anymore.
Whats the problem ?

Sorry, i don't understand you. What is bugging you?
What are the diference between super froyo and cyanogen and the rest of the android? I'm a noob and would like to install one of this to my kaiser.
Thanks
The "builds" you're asking about are just different versions of the same build.
The 29-8-11 build is version 2.2.2 Froyo, Super Froyo (IIRC) is build 2.2.1, and Cyanogenmods are just that, "mods" to an originally stock build, wether it be Froyo, Gingerbread, Eclair, etc.
I honestly can't say I hate or dislike any build or modded version, as they all have their benefits. The one great thing about Android is the ability to "make it your own" through customization, where-as iOS (iPhone) pretty much locks you into a certain form and functionality, which the benefit is stability.
My suggestion... grab the 29-8-11 build on sourceforge and build a kernel with 3-4mb above the total install size of 87mb, give yourself a 15-20mb cache file and install it. Customization comes with time, trial and error, and some effort, but you will be happy with the results.

Can you give me the sourceforge link.
I follow this :http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstallWithAtoolsHaret
I partition using the atools but nothing happen.Receive an error message someting like ext2 ext3 and something missing.Get an error using the above.Maybe it's my bad.
This is the latest error
did you keep the D-Pad pressed ?
That is nothing to do with the D-pad, that is a fault of not installing the system to NAND, something I'm unfamiliar with as I never used or even liked HaReT.
It appears as if you're installing to SD, but the card is not formatted correctly with the 3 (maybe 4 now) partitions needed, one for system, another for data, and the rest for your use.
It should be easy peasy to install to NAND as ATools is really optimized for NAND installations now.
Now I made ext 2 & 3 to my sd card. 1st attempt took 6hrs and still installing files and now trying 2nd attempt.
I use atools and choose haret.once Linux running I choose ext 2 . I follow everything but android doesn't seems to run. Now under file folder there's only ext2 appear ext3 is missing . Have been trying to install few times but nothing happens. My card is 16gb class4.
Can I have the link for the latest froyo dated. 29.8.11.
First off, forget about keeping Windows Mobile and go straight to Android. I never liked running from a SD card.
Here's the link..
http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/2011-08-29-froyo/
Select the correct build for your Country (eu, us or all), preferrably an "odexed" version, download it and copy it to your FAT32 formatted SD card in a folder labled "andboot" without the quotes.
If you check around, I have a post or 2 with the "KAISIMG.NBH" file attached. I always build a new kernel for any new installs as I like to make modifications depending on build size. The one I posted is for this build with a meager 500MHz overclock, 15mb for cache and around 92mb for data with an EXT4 FS.
If you use the 29-8 build, there is no need to update anything as the update modules are included.
How many partition do i need and how many mb do i need on each partition.I'm using 16 gb.
update: I make 1 fat32 and 3 ext2 with 200mb each using gparted.
where does the downloaded or installed apps goes to.Is it on the fat32 or the ext. what's the difference ext2, ext3,ext4.Can I reformat the sd card once my device is androided to add more mb to the ext. If my ext. not enough to install apps (if the apps need to be install to ext. not fat32)sorry for so many question.
Do I need 'bse'( *img -> Virtual disk on sdcard (you need to create it, you can create it with bse) to create virtual disk.?
First off, you're speaking in HaReT terms, a completely different language for me.
I only know how to install /system and /data to NAND, NOT an SD card. No 3 separate partitions on my SD, only 1 formatted to FAT32.
Again, you're running Android "through" Windows by clicking an .exe file in file explorer, not the way I'm running it, which just involves pressing the power button, so you are, in fact, speaking a different language.
Build a kernel with ATools for NAND, not HaReT, and leave everything alone when presented with where to install. /system goes on NAND, /data goes on NAND.
That is my recommendation because I'm all about speed, and a class 6 SD couldn't provide that. Think of NAND as class 10...
I follow this for Nand : http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/an... pls guide me on how to install through Nand.
Make sure you are using a FAT32 formatted SD card when attempting a kernel update. If you are sure it is formatted correctly, try another. I have 5 SD cards here, 2 of which won't work for kernel update, regardless of format.
If all else fails, look around for the RUU installer for the Kaiser.
Am i getting this right? i'm installing it to my device from yesterday night.
Edit:How long does it going to take 1 day? 1 week? now the number is [43617.514121]android_usb gadget:full speed config #1:android
I connected it on my pc and change to power supply.Is this normal?
Very simply, keep your phone away from any computers!
The only problem I see is the USB is connecting and disconnecting.
DO NOT keep the phone connected to the computer.
If you have followed all the instructions for a NAND install, this conversation would not take place... its THAT simple.
Reformat your SD card, out the KAISIMG.NBH directly on the SD, not inside any folders. Once thats done, make a new folder on the SD called "andboot" and place the androidinstall.tar file inside the new folder. If you're using a rom other than Scoot's or the SourceForge, you'll need an update for the cache.
Install takes less than 2 minutes with even the slowest SD card and first boot usually runs 3-5 minutes. ALL up and running, ready to use in less than 10 minutes.
@PoxFreak, at last i manage to install Android to my Kaiser HaRET way.I think i know what's the problem.I think it's due to my radio. I was using 1.71 and 1.70 it doesn't work. So i install shipped rom to my kaiser and install android .
@Poxfreak,
I manage to install CyanogenMod 6.1.2 Release 6 by using NAND.It took me .... like you say about 5 mins+.I was wondering I have 2 Kingston 4gb microsd card both can be use to install HaRET but only one of them can install NAND.So now I would like to use back my 16gb sd card as an external to install apps.Will I be able to do that instead of using the 4gb? Can I partition it?
Thanks
Ok seems many usrs here have the same problems over and over again. so heres a tut!
This will probably cover many other topics but simplified here as much as i can.
You Must have the following to get this to work:
ROOT
Recovery 5.0.2.6
busybox installed.
if you have non of these...do not attempt any of this thread till you have!
To start with.
Creation of EXT3 Partitions.
you will need Minitool Partition Wizard. Mini Tool Partition Wizard Download
This is a harddrive/diskspace program allowing accurate modification of disk space.
Never create an EXT3 in CWM, as this will create whats known as a swap drive.
this causes the bootloop. Hence the non boot!
EXT3 has to be set as primary drive not logical.
Size allowance recommendations (personal choice, but this is after a few findings and results given by Salsa users)
SD Card Size.................................EXT3 Size
2GB......(Class 2).............................250MB
4GB......(Class 2-4)..........................500MB
8GB......(Class4-6)...........................500MB-1GB
16GB....(Class8-10).........................1.2GB
WARNING, anything over 1.5GB will result in serious problems and SD damage
This also works around class types of SD Card. the higher the class the faster it works, there are various brands offering different class cards, find a fast and big card for best performance. I currently use Class 8 16GB with 1GB Ext3 with little/no lag
Wise idea before this to make an SD backup, if done correctly your data will not be affected...if you screwed up...you'll loose everything...so back it up!
To start with,
Remove Sd Card and use and SD Reader and insert into your computer USB Slot.
Open Minitool Partition Wizard.
Resize your sd card accordingly leaving 1.2-1.5gb of unallocated space. Apply the actions.
Now you have the unallocated space, reformat the space in EXT3 and set as Primary drive. Apply Actions.
Now normally the Application throws your sd out and says bad drive......this is sometimes normal so don't panic.
Reinsert your Sd in Phone and boot into recovery only
Data2sd script
theres 2 scripts available for these roms.
htc-data2sd-ext3 or data2whatever by m1ndh8x4r.
2.1 Roms work well with htc-data2sd-ext3 script with no problems.
data2whatever works really well with 3.5 sense Roms (Bens/M1nds)
*****There is a warning with this data2whatever script....When using this script, you will notice after a short period, that you cannot update or install any more apks. This is due to a Dalvik error within the script on Deodexed roms, currently it cannot be fixed, you have been warned*****
these can be used easily but the following rules must be applied.
You must flash the rom firstly by the 3 wipes...regardless!
flash the rom as normal and reboot full, letting the rom fully build it self and load up... ie input your details/sign in wifi etc.
check it out for a few mins while your waiting...hey even make a backup lol!
OK now reboot in recovery and flash the chosen script....DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING!
once flashed reboot normally.
it will boot, it may take up to 5-10mins but it will boot. if by any chance you a boot loop at the boot animation screen then you have an EXT3 fault and you must redo the EXT3 Partition in Minitool to proceed again.
data2sd scripts are here>
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?duigp9ky9796b65 for htc-data2sd-ext3.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?m7bv6pk024p63ef for d2extv0.43.zip (New/Advanced)
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?qr5rh2fho1hnbnl for data2whatever
This is a proven way and so many have tried and failed other ways.
Please try this guide. If you get stuck please just ask!
Please Answer my poll at the top and Thank this post...Ty!
If you Answer NO to this guide, please post below and tell me why so i may help further

It works but runs slowly for some reason
I have a 2GB cards, first partition is about 1.4 for normal /sdcard the remaining .4GB for /data
Both partitions are start aligned on 2048 sectors
Issue - applications get corrupted after restart
I am facing strange issue. I did everything described above and have /data on sd. But everytime I reboot something happens to most apps. They are installed but when I try to launch any of them I got errors and application closes. I need to reinstall EVERY app and they work until next reboot. Any ideas about the cause or what to check ? At this point I am trying not to discharge or reboot my phone by it;s impossible to keep it that way.

which guide did u make ext3?
size and did u make swap?
root?
Need file name of the data2sd script u used and how u used it...(this is important)
so i need full break down....assuming u have root that is....this almost sounds like a silly problem, but then most of us don't use stock roms anymore....so we dont have this problem lol

Of course I have a root - it works perfectly. I created the partition according to above instructions (I mean this thread). My ext3 partition is about 800 MB and 3200 MB is for FAT32. I did not create swap - just fat32 and ext3 with Partition Wizard. I used htc-data2sd-ext3.zip in I think normal way - phone reset, installing busybox, reboot, installing script with recovery - done. Everything is perfect until next reboot.

what class sd card is it? you need a class 8 or 10 on that size.
I used mini tool for partition. I set fat32 as logical and ext3 as primary. I have 8gb class 10 SD.

Shrink the ext3 to 750mb and set all partitions as primary.

Yep now I can see my data in SD card. Another problem I triple wiped and flash arc rom again, and given detail/sign in. When trying to flash script in recovery mode, it asks for busybox in some sys folder. I don't have busybox and also script installed, but ext3 memory not reflects in as main memory. Am I used different script or I need to install busybox, if so how to do that.?
I installed busybox @ system/xbin and flashed script, it worked. Finally my internal memory problem solved:thumbup:
I request to add installing busybox step and download link for script in tutorial.
Thx bb

Yes I know, it's another internal memory thread.. but I can't post on the original post about the JB ROM I use without 10 posts so I hope someone can help me here...
I'm using this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951086&page=50
It's the only ROM I've found till now that makes my very battered Ace actually run smooth (it was in a car accident.)
What I've done till now to increase internal memory:
- Used the CWM Recovery Mode to format an Ext on my SD Card
- used MiniTool Recovery Wizard to format an Ext on my SD Card, used Ext2/3 and 4
- Tried to flash the CronMod Int2Ext+ zip, but it's getting stuck halfway through
None of these methods helped any :/ is there a way to increase memory or am I stuck with 3-4 apps before it says "nope"?

?
You are using int2ext+ in a stock rom = Stability and NO problems
...
Let's start again.
Did you create a sd-ext partition? which format is it (fat,ext2/3/4?
How did you do it? Using mini partition tools is a piece of cake
How did you flash the script?

Uh no.. as I wrote in the original post
int2ext did not work, it's getting stuck halfway through
I created an sd-ext partition using both the CWM Recovery, then MiniTools Partition Wizard, after every try I deleted, formatted and reassigned the SD card back to its original state. I tried Ext2 Ext3 and Ext4.

I thought I answered everything XD but maybe you mean as to why I'm not using the stock rom and decided on a flashed rom?
Simply put because it lagged like hell, the mobile was in a car accident, ever since then the stock rom had nothing but problems, couldn't run any entertaining app without it crashing or lagging
So I decided to get a copy of the stock rom and format everything, then flash the stock rom back on it. It worked, the stock rom loaded, but the lag came back pretty quickly.
Then I went on to search for a rom that wouldn't lag, after a few dozen of failed attempts I used this one by pure coincidence and it works for me, it does not lag, it doesn't crash. Some games lag if I play them too long, but music and video runs perfectly.
But the internal memory was still an issue, I managed to get 1024MB of internal memory on another semi-stable rom a few weeks back using the CWM Recovery tool for creating an ext3 partition. This does not work anymore on this rom, I also tried to get ext2/3 and 4 with MiniTools PArtition Wizard on the card but the internal memory stays the same.
When I tried to flash Int2Ext+ inside the recovery it just stops at a halfway point and shows "4ext: disable_scrn_update" and stays there forever, the little yellow bar in the background moves to around half, then stops there. I waited 30 minutes but no change, then I restarted the phone and there is no change to internal memory.
That is the whole story

LOL!! I was meaning "how to do things"
How did you flash the script? It isn't answered yet
....
Btw let's start
1. Backup your current data
2. Reflash the rom
3. Flashing the script:
>>> mount data
>>> mount system
>>> mount sd-ext
>>> format SD-EXT (YOUR EXTERNAL PARTITION, NOT YOUR SD!)
4. Flash the script!
AFAIK int2ext+ script works with ext2/3 and ext4 partition (so It is the best to avoid troubles, or simply use int2ext4+ [only works with ext4 partition] )
5. The script should work fine, JB Rev rom use BE kernel, so you won't get any trouble
But I said that already :/
I restart my phone into CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6
I mounted and formatted everything you just said multiple times
then I go into "install zip from sdcard" -> "chose zip from sd card" -> CronMod - Int3extv2+ / Int2ext4+
then it disables the screen update and installs in the background but stops at around half and doesn't budge for hours until I remove the battery and force a restart.

If THE STEPS I POSTED DOESN'T WORK...
Extract the script and paste it in /system/etc/init.d folder and set the permissions
Code:
x - x - o
x - o - o
x - o - o
The reboot your phone
It should work too!
