Need help with downgrading + Problem with MENU

Ok, So first off. I'm not exactly a noob into flashing and stuff. Maybe I am a new to the HTC side of things, But I've being flashing SE phones for quite a long time, I even ended up running a little business of doing so.
My G1 has Build RC83
I did a manual update to 1.6 Donut.
The first time around flashing, I failed and I didn't want to end up bricking my phone, but after deciding I was missing out on root and CM mods. So i went ahead, So after reading the tutorial and making sure I could do it I went ahead.
I placed the DREAIMG.nbh like it said on the tutorial (or the 2 that I read, One on here and the other on the Cyanogen wiki), but bootloader won't read it. It keeps saying NO IMAGE FILE! or somethign similar. I've formatted to FAT32 like 5 times and keep on doing it but nothing happens. I've even tried to with update.zip but it says verification failed. This kinda happened to me when updating to 1.6 but I forgot how I managed to get it going.
So thats one, now the other thing is. My G1 fell into water not that long ago, but it survived and works like PERFECT. the only thing is recently everytime I press MENU , when on the lock screen it works fine,b ut it goes all crazy and types U5iiii and a bunch of things in the search.
Is there any way to disable the search thing when you type something?
Thanks Guys!

make sure its completely dried and there are no shorts.
Try redownloading the DREAIMG.nbh and making sure its not corrupt

Yeah it's completely dried , I actually put it inside a Rice bag for week like the seller said because the rice sucks up the moisture. Plus I dried it with a full on hair dryer quite well, (even the speaker works like normal, and a bunch of water came out of there)
And Yes, I have downloaded DREAINMG.nbh like 10 tiems now, and from different sites, and nothing.
(btw the g1 fell in the water like a month back now)

bump
also, I read somewhere that changing the allocation size on the SD Card works for people who's G1 won't read the DREAIMG.nbh , i kept trying to do this without luck, How do you change the allocation size?

You can set this in advanced options when formatting through windows. you can also use gparted

I'll try gparted. Ill post backk on how it goes.
Does the fact that I'm on DRC83 have anything to do to why it won't read the DREAIMG.nbh?

Weird, I've tried everything, even the 1 click root method and nothing (i don't even think that went right)
Anything else i could try?

I finally managed to get root and CM.
With this also the problem with the MENU button went away and now I'm once again happy with my G1
Thanks for everythig

Hah yeah, all it took was the use of a USB cord, the adapter didn't work heh.

FINAL ADB SOLUTION: For those who couldn't get ADB with Recovery

1. Install HTC Sync 2.0.25 onto your PC (it came with your phone) (maybe the custom driver works but I haven't tried it yet)
2. Power off your device
3. Remove the battery
4. Plug in your USB cable
5. Insert your SDcard (any kind, it doesn't matter the type, i have 6 different cards and class associations in my possesion and have rooted all of my co-workers DI's today using all 6 cards for proof of concept, 9 phone total [Everyone wanted Wireless Tether)
6. Insert your battery
7. Hold Vol. Down button + Power button
8. Start and loop (you can start this before now if you wish, just has to be before entering recovery)
9. After the phone scans the sdcard choose "Recovery" and press the Power button.
*10. SOLUTION: As soon as the white screen appears just casually (don't be a speed demon) click IN & OUT your sdcard and continue to do so (keep clicking it) when the black screen with triangle appears. You will be listening for the last windows chime that identifies the USB has registered. But, you want to stop with your last sdcard click IN just before the last windows chime is sounded through your PC speakers. You might need to do this a couple times just to get familiar with the timing of the windows sounds on your computer system. Those phones that don't have to do this and was rooted first have a much earlier timing of when the Exploit is active.
11. Now go get Rooted using the steps on the first page of this post.

yes run the loop.
I tried this for about an hour with no result btw.

Worked for me

Seriously , this is the EXACT same steps that has been posted numerous times before. When you speak of a Solution as something Final it SHOULD NOT involve trial and error steps that require timing or just *luck*.
What a waste of a post and thanks for im sure getting peoples hopes up.

Yes you run the loop but not necessary to run in a loop. Yes it is about timing and similar posts have been made but I think I've written it with more detail.
These precise steps worked with the exact timing on 8 DIFFERENT phones yesterday. If its not working for you then perhaps you don't know how to follow directions well.

You know, just because it worked for you doesn't mean it will for others....
I CAN follow directions well, and I can't get it reproduced. (though it may be because I'm already rooted?)

Just keep clicking that card in your own intervals after the white screen and you will get it. With my own proof I can contest that there is a BIG misconception that this is only achieved during the White screen. NOT TRUE!!!
Those steps are what I experimented with trying to root my own DI and it worked. I was not convinced I'd get it to work on other phones since It's been days and countless hours trying to get mine to connect to ADB in Recovery. So, one of my co-workers let me try it on his phone with his different card type, and one co-worker after the other, success! The root I did on MY phone was with an sdcard I bought that came with some of the phones (SanDisk 2gb). I didn't get a free card from VZW. I had FASTER success with this card of all 6 cards I've rooted with. It took longer with the other cards, class 4 PNY, and off-brand class 6 cards. With the 2gb SandDisk class 2 it works on the first try for every phone I've tried.
Did you have HTC Sync installed as your active driver, I really can't say if the customer driver works as I haven't tried it myself? My laptop is the latest Sony VAIO F-series with Core i7 with Windows Ultimate x64. In Device Manager, while in HBOOT my phone only showed up as Android 1.0 and as HTC Bootloader.

No, and if you want to be in tune with the FINAL SOLUTION, your chakras must be aligned with Lady DI and her mysterious ways. I recommend balancing her on your head while you sleep for a fortnight, and then comes the sacrificial goat!
Seriously OP, I followed the last CARD CLICK prophet's advice and now my card mushes into lock--the DI just ain't built for the kind of abuse frenzied insert/ejection creates. I respect that you're good at what you do, but as others have found, teaching timing with http very difficult, at best.

I installed root by using an old laptop with XP... I had one point installed the HTC drivers. In this case, I had unistalled the HTC drivers and the HTC sync driver. Now I only used the SDK usb.inf drivers with the modified line for HTC incredible.

Believe it or not, I haven't seen it yet--just added it to my Netflix queue tho.
OP, can you get us a dmesg of you hitting the timing with your method? I want to see how it reacts to mounting/checking the sdcard devices more than once in recovery boot. I think good dmesg logs would help us all figure out what's going on here . . . .

It depends on how quick you insert/remove. It takes anywhere form a 1/2 second to 1 second between the initial "Slot changed from 0 -> 1" to where the card is actually mounted. If you click too fast, you never that that "mount" so you'll never get root, since it seems like the "mount" is actually causing the error we need. If you slow down your insert/remove to a slower pace, you'll get numerous mounts of the sd card. This might increase your chances of getting root because you're mounting multple times, but it makes the mounts more random then precise timing, and unfortunately, to get our error that we need, the read needs to happen at a percise time. You've seen the dmesg that was posted by 'mite.

THANK YOU OP! Worked for me :-D
My other 2 incredibles had worked consistently, but this one took your process to get.

Yeah, and I'm still wondering why he was so 'elliptical' about explaining what was going on there. I still can't figure out if it's the mount process or the mounted card that triggers the adbd event, or if a delayed sdcard process simply pushes adbd start into the recovery window, when commands such as 'adb shell' can be received by daemon for a split/few seconds. Would be nice to hear his explanation of what system events are occurring outside of what is logged in dmesg. The OP says mount event can complete in recovery/black screen, you say sdcard mount must complete before black screen, that's a big diff.
I wonder if it's possible to create a host-side script that reads dmesg, watches for card mount and triggers 'adb shell' at a much faster rate than a simple win shell 'loop'. That would be killer, and would eliminate all need for card insertion timing, IMO.

I don't think so. Don't have the devices in front of me right now, but I believe that the phone is disconnected from the PC (that first do - do) before our window of opportunity, which means the pc is not communicating with the phone at all. So if (big if) I am correct, nothing local to the PC can be done to initiate anything AT THE TIME that we need it to.

Dat's kinda what I thought

I'll try to get you guys a dmesg as soon as possible. I'm at work right now and I'm responsible for alot of servers at a law firm in DC. (never get any free time it seems) I'm been trying to check in with you guys as often as I can. It's brutal today because we have Maintenance tonight throughout the morning.

This is what I found by myself to work for me after trying for 3 days originally.

Say what you will about the OP, but the timing is key and his post did help me out. I've tried tons of cards, every method out there and had no luck, until now. So for what's it's worth, this post was much appreciated.

[Q] Samsung Captivate Galaxy S (SGH-I897) with broken LCD, access files

Just watched the "noob video" and I'll apologize in advance for my ignorance here. I'm pretty tech savvy but not an Android user so please bear with me and feel free to dumb down any (and all, perhaps) responses.
I have a friend who cracked the LCD on her SGH-I897 (the four touch buttons on the bottom seem to respond). She already replaced the phone but now wants her photos/videos off of the internal memory. She literally had never plugged the device into a computer in the two years she owned it (this should give you some idea as to why it was handed off to me...). USB debugging is apparently off as the device connects to the PC, but no drive appears that I can access. It is obviously not rooted either.
I tried some file recovery software hoping that could bypass my inability to mount the drive but to no avail. I have a Macbook running 10.5 and a PC running Win7.
I've been researching for the better part of two days and I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15563295, but after following the link provided it said the kernel was for the Samsung Galaxy S2. It seems there must be a simple way to resolve this. It's just hacking into a photos folder after all...
All I need to do is retrieve and transfer the files, so the simplest means of doing this is the best. The phone is pretty busted up so once the files are off it's getting recycled.
Thanks again, all.

Basically, you'd use ADB to mount the SD.
You said the screen is cracked but can you still read and/or see the image? If so, you could get in recovery and mount from there (using the volume and power buttons).

Thanks for the quick response, Wolf!

The LCD is actually cracked (not the outer protective glass/touch screen) so the LDC is completely inoperable (blacked out, no backlight, nothing).

ADB can be used on pretty much any androids, it sends command from your pc to your phone. I linked you a easy to follow guide but there are plenty out there, just google/search ADB and you'll find everything you need to know about it.
As for the SD, our phone has a internal SD and a slot for external SD. So yeah, I meant internal SD. (This is true for almost every androids)

It's called a internal SD but I have no idea how hard (or if even possible) it would be to get it. But it's surely something to look into.
As for ADB, as long as you can get it to recognize the phone, you should be in business. You can even use it to mount up

Alright, road block... ADB can't be used if USB Debugging isn't enabled.
Can anyone help me enable USB Debugging without the LCD screen being functional?
To save you from reading all the above, my friend cracked the LCD screen on her phone. USB Debugging is off, phone is not rooted, touch screen is not functional. Four buttons on the bottom of the screen do work.
All she wants is the pictures off her internal memory (not an SD card, as a card reader would have solved this by now). Any help would be appreciated.

if she had an app called 'my phone explorer client' installed before the screen broke, then you could install my phone explorer on a pc, connect via usb with phone up and fully booted, then my phone explorer creates a mouse clickable image of the phone's screen. but ugh, this only works with usb debugging - perhaps there is another app can do it.

Kinda running outta options here :/ Personally, my storage connects automaticly on my pc, don't need to manually mount it. Then again, I'm using W8 so that might be why (dunno really).
Another option could be to get another screen, connect it (but don't fully install it), get your files, return the screen. Not exatly the best option ever but it would work eh.

That would be a negative. Its a chip soldered onto the board. Its just habit to refer to it as the internal SD since that's how the android software treats it.
Also if you could get into recovery which of course would be hard to verify with a blank screen... At least with custom kernels I believe ADB is enabled so you could run commands there. But it may not be with stock kernels. Just a thought.

[Q] Cannot mount as disk drive

Just got my One today and been playing with it. First thing I noticed is that I can't find a way to mount it as a disk drive to easily move music over. Am I missing something here or is it an actual problem?

If you have the drivers installed it should just open a dialog box and chose view files.

As dumb as thus sounds have you taken a photo on the phone yet? For some reason the phone doesn't make its internal memory available as a hard drive until you have taken at least one photo. Kid you not. I spent almost an hour trying 3 different ways on 2 different computers and a fellow tech goes... Take a photo... I looked at him like he was crazy, but sure enough I unplugged the unit took a photo of the ground, plugged it back in and suds enough there it was.

Are you on a Mac? If so then you're gonna need this http://www.android.com/filetransfer/

I am using windows xp. Everytime I plug it in it shows up on my computer as an MTP device and installs itself as a CD ROM drive.

****FIXED****
Alright, here's the answer for anyone else that feels as dumb as me. I guess google and microsoft got into bed on this one... You must have Windows media player 11(or higher I assume) installed for the drive to show up. I've been trying to stay away from WMP for the longest time... now it's a must for me to access the internal storage on my phone.

Strange Issue

So I noticed on Friday every app (Discord/Signal/Twitter/etc) that used WebViewer was crashing and wouldn't open. I traced it down to the Chrome app and disabled the Chrome app on the phone and everything worked. However, I wasn't able to uninstall or install the latest version of Chrome on the phone, even after re-enabling the app. Not a problem I thought, I'll just Restore from a Titanium backup. However when I did it put the phone into a boot loop. Crap, I'll restore from a Nandroid backup. Nope same thing. So I wiped the System/Dalvik/cache and downloaded the full Rom from OnePlus's website and did a fresh Flash. Same thing. If I try to Format the phone all way it freezes on the data and then goes into a dead android state.
Does anyone have any ideas? Preferably I would like to avoid wiping the phone to zero, but if I have to I have to. If it comes to that, does anyone have a good Rom recommendation for just playing games and taking calls?

Unfortunately these signs you described are leading to memory chip failure (sudden death, hang on formatting data).
If you could boot into TWRP, I'd suggest backing data up to your PC, as much as possbile.
You may try your luck with an unbrick tutorial (without or with data wipe).

If you could boot into TWRP, I'd suggest backing data up to your PC, as much as possbile.
You may try your luck with an unbrick tutorial (without or with data wipe).

Yeah TWRP isn't an issue. That I can get into and it is my fault that I should have mentioned that I have already tried the unbrick methods.
I guess I was hoping that it really hadn't fallen to a hardware failure and more along the lines of something I did. I'll be honest in saying that I was really hoping there was a bit of knowldege that I was missing or that somebody would just be like "Nope, I've run into this before. Go in and change this flag from 1 to 0 and do this step you overlooked.".
Either way thank you for your time and responses and many thanks for taking time out to respond back to me.

No problem; sorry for your loss, but you know, that's perversity of inanimate objects. I had similar case with my laptop, when SSD died - poof and data is gone

I had the same on my old phone I just got a new sd 32GB and that was all of my extra Money and less than 2 weeks it broke and had to go back to 8gb
