What app do I use to make my phone act as a router and/or tether? I can't find Tether Wifi in the market... is there another app you recommend? I do not live in a 3g area... this would be only used at a beach house with no internet... I realize edge is slower but its better than nothing. Is this possible?

Any advice on pimping out the G1? I saw a video on youtube where the guys dialer was large rectangular buttons, maybe purple too... how do you get this? (better keyboard?) I've been looking at Teds Hero Theme, waiting on a version for Cyan 3.6.8.1. Do I need to delete open home after/before a theme, does not seem like it will be of any use after I do this hero theme from Ted, right?

What is the recovery.img file that is used in that manual, and do I need another one if I am using Cyanogens (v3.6.8.1) stable rom?

I saw at one point a thread that had the names of common items and what they meant but can't find it (ie, why I dont know why what a img file is or does). Can anyone shed some light on this, or know where that thread is?

The manual also made it seem like I needed to load a JF build. After my root I went straight to cyanogen. Does this matter? Did I lose something by not doing JF first? Is there a backup anywhere (other than the files I moved from my SD card to my computer before formatting it)?

Do I need to load any other cyanogen things on my phone? On his thread it lists things like Audio resources, pimped out recovery image, etc.

Finally, I need to partition my card to take advantage of apps2sd on his rom.... what is the best way to do this? I really need help on this one.

Its fine that you went straight to cyanogens rom. Its good to load cyanogens new recovery (1.4), its in the pimped out recovery and all instructions are in there. There are different ways to partition a sd card, the way I do mine is thru Ubuntu (tuturial is in my sig). Wifi tether for root users is what allows your phone to act as a router. Theres alot of cool apps, you just got to play with them to figure them out or narrow down what your trying to find out. And theres a search feature, use that or be flamed if you ask repeated questions.

Get cyan pimped out recovery. The instructions are fool proof how to dow it.

Look in the informative thread sticky in the dev subforum

No, it's cool that you went straight to cyan. See when that guide was written those were the most popular roms that's why they are there.
-4-
Do I need to load any other cyanogen things on my phone? On his thread it lists things like Audio resources, pimped out recovery image, etc.
I would load the Audio resources since those are your ringtones and notification tones. Though if you plan on making your own it isn't really necessary. As for the recovery image you should definitely download. The instructions are easy and simple so just read.
-5-
Finally, I need to partition my card to take advantage of apps2sd on his rom.... what is the best way to do this? I really need help on this one.
Not to be mean but... Seriously??? It's a sticky in this subforum....

Just browse the apps section to see what you like

Always search first, and if you can't find it search again. Don't just search 1 subforum. Believe me the answers are out there.
Yeah, I promise I do search, but again I just kinda seem to go from one thing to another and then I realize there are several ways to do the same thing.
Regarding the partition, no offense taken... but I'm not comfortable enough with the process so thought I would try and get more guidance than what I can find in the several threads with different methods.

I see where you are coming from since I too am a noob. So I'm guessing you're rooted and have a custom rom installed already. Soo here is the guide I used to partition my SD card. It is a very, self-explanatory guide. I have no computer programming background and this guide made it seem easy to me. You're going to need cyan's pimped out recovery. Like I said just find that thread and it has the directions to install it. As for apps, I found what I thought was cool browsing the app forum here and on androidcommunity.com
^ right on, will try and accomplish both of those goals tonight. Thanks man. Will report back. If anyone else feels like chiming in on any other Qs, please feel free.

Exactly that... its a backup of basically your entire phone from the point that you created the backup, if you happen to flash another ROM and you don't like it, or it breaks, you can hit the restore option and return to this moment in time for you phone.
Holy crap that was a ton of questions... but ye as the other guys said just search the forum, all of the questions you asked have been answered.

bare with me ONE MORE Q RE: NANDROID
I have created a nandroid backup, copied the folder from my SD card to my computer for emergencies.
If I add a new ROM and wipe.... how would I restore my phone? The backup I created would be erased from the phone right? And the backup on my computer would be from another rom, does that matter (assuming no, but I dont know the first thing about how to restore my phone from doing a wipe).
Thank you all... incredible forum.

when you wipe everything on your sd remains only data from the phones internal is wiped, so as long as you didnt delete it from sd after backing up to computer your good. Also worse come to worse you can use a card reader to get it on there..
As far as your settings and stuff reseting, thats why some people get to lazy to wipe you can try my backuppro (i use this) or backup for root (dont know to much about) to back up your settings, bookmarks, sms, and contacts if youd like. Note though that your contacts and all that will come back after signing back into google, and your apps will also remain on the sd..
^ ahh... completely forgot that the SD card was left intact after a wipe. That makes perfect sense and thank you thank you. I have backup for root now but will go to the market and try your app. THank you!

I live for these moments on this forum!
Bear with me while I try to explain (and remember) what happened to get me to this point.
--
Last night I was using WeUI and decided for a switch so I flashed AOKP Build 34 and the flash went well. I then tried to do a restore using MyBackup Pro with an older backup which it didnt work because it couldnt find the directory (even though I put it in the right one but that isnt important). After that I turned away from the phone for a minute or so and when I looked back, I saw that the screen had darken and the AOKP unicorn was on the screen. At which point I thought the phone had froze along the way somewhere and so I took out the battery and restarted the phone. I then started the phone back up and I got this screen saying there was an issue with the phone and I needed to reboot it.
I did but it brought me to CWM recovery, which I thought was odd but then figured I just needed to reinstall the rom, so I was going to but it only showed me my external sd card and I couldnt get access to my internal sd card and left it for the night. Then today (after getting into download mode) I tried using the odin3 1-click to JF6 which succeeded but once it completes it just throws the phone into bootloops.
So now I am at the point where I am out of ideas of what I need to do, but luckily I am still able to get into download mode and recovery mode so its not SO bad right guys? *fingers crossed*
Any help would be appreciated in this little pickle I am in.

Damn. Really? I guess the only good thing I have going for me is that it isnt my main phone anymore so I guess I can afford to wait it out and hope that a fix can be found in the somewhat near future.

Correct :/
If you're interested, there's a thread in the Development section (look for "Encryption Unsuccessful") that talks in great length about this issue.
Some people (myself included) have dodged a bullet because the Android angels smiled and allowed them to flash a stock ROM before the device marked the Internal SD as encrypted. Most people, however, aren't as lucky and have an inaccessible Internal SD.
Not trying to contradict b-eock, just wanting to futher expand on the post.
not arguing, but he has already suffered so I didn't include that part

Yea I found that thread just now, and I will probably give it a shot, good thing I bought a big microSD card to use with this phone. So if I do this method, that means that the internal sd card is completely shot then and no chance of it being used again?

Correct, for now we know the cause and steps that lead to this issue but there is currently no solution to get the internal sd back.
This thread gave me another clue. I posted in the Encryption thread to stay centralized.

No Devo7v, through my roughly 15 hours of internet research I have not come across a 1 click fix. Just when I thought I was getting good and learning how to move around the android system I bricked. I don't mind paying for my mistakes and learning from them, but I do definitely not want to have to purchase a new phone. I bought the active because it was compact with a descent size screen, nice hardware, remote control, hdmi to tv and I liked the waterproof dustproof feature that I never even tried because I don't trust how waterproof this phone really is. I think It is a great phone when up and running.
P.S. I really appreciate your quick knowledgable response.

I suggest choosing which firmware you would like to flash from the i537 Firmware Thread, download it, and flash it with Odin. If you're currently on ML2, your only option is to reflash ML2 since the ML2 bootloader will not allow you to downgrade to any other version. Before you do anything I would do a little research on Odin so you understand how it works. Far and away, most people that have bricked their phones did it by using Odin incorrectly.

Yes you are most likely correct. I just might be trying to read the wrong software from sd. The times I've tried I get authorization errors.

I will definitely read up on odin. My phone is currently at 2nd local cell repair store this week. I called them to have it ready for pick up if they cant fix it today, which I have my doubts. They usually are just phone salespeople that can do a typical flash or change a screen. So this evening or tomorrow morning I will give your recommendation a shot. And when I do and my phone is back up and running I will gladly donate funds to your site or directly to you. I will shoot you a pm tomorrow to touch base.....I should have went this route before I tried these useless cell phone stores around here. I'm sure this post will help many others too....

Flashing 4.3 isn't that much harder then flashing the one-click, you just need to read and make sure you put things in the right spot.
As for apps top SD, I don't move my apps so I really can't give you much advice.

Download MiniTool Partition tool
use THIS GUIDE
for your size of sdcard i would suggest
20GB+ for "fat32" <<< MUST BE 1ST PARTITION this is your usual sdcard
10GB for "ext4" <<< MUST BE 2ND PARTITION "this is extra system and app data space"
512MB for "swap" <<< MUST BE 3RD PARTITION this is "extra ram"
I WOULD CREATE 3RD PARTITION FIRST THEN 2ND THEN REST OF SPACE FOR 1ST ONE (SO THERE IS NO LOSS OF SPACE)
THE GUIDE IS NICE AND SIMPLE WITH ALL THE SCREENSHOTS

I do have a theory on why it's not working tho, maybe becuz I didn't do the recovery step from titanium backup, and the reason I haven't done that is becuz when I try to download it from the play store I get an error saying that I don't have enough memory. I just partition my 32GB card again, it didn't work with the new set of instructions so Im doing it again, I have another theory as to why my partition is not working with the new set of instructions and I think that's becuz I messed up the values the very first time (using mrmuh instructions). Do you think it might be becuz of that?

I'm reading this post to install this on my Milestone 1.
Initially I thought I could just root with VRoot (1-click method) then follow Mr.muh's guide starting on step 6. But looks like I either go VRoot or all steps on Mr.muh's guide, is that right?
Another question is: I can create the partitions on the computer with MiniTool Partition Wizard before starting mr.muh's steps and later on escape mur's step 4, right?

Yea your right, you could do either or, but I suggest you do vRoot first just to get it out the way, and I do believe you can partition your SD card first and then continue with Mr.muh's guide, I wish I would have done that first so that when I try to download titanium backup I wouldn't have gotten that error of me not having enough memory.
:laugh:yay
I was able to partition my 32GB SD card and able to proceed with all the instructions, also I installed CM7, fixed my WIFI problem and Bluetooth problem as well. Thank you all for your help, is there a way I can donate to your team or you, to show my support I also bought the XDA book.
PS. I will try to mess around with CM9 later down the road, I'm just happy to be using this Motorola Milestone, my dream phone :victory:

congrats! I was also able to install CM7 by using VRoot and following Mr Muh's guide (except step 5 since phone was already rooted and I had nothing to backup)
Thanks IGGYVIP, for helps and links.
I'll try to make this long story short. My experience level is pretty low. I've rooted and flashed firmware to a few devices in the past, but Odin worked well and I was always following instructions.
I have a n AT&T Note 3 N900A running 5.0
I accidentally deleted a folder of photos, and needed to root my device in order to attempt recovering the lost photos.
I Tried King root, kingoroot, etc... and failed to root the device.
Then used the N900AUCUBMI1_OneClickBin which Fails it says "SW REV CHECK FAIL: [sbl1]Fused 2 > Binary 1
then i tried Odin and root De la Vega which also failed
Now my device is stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I download latest Kies... it doesnt support my device....
How can I fix this? Is there a rooted rom I can flash to it? I really just want to extract the deleted photos as the device is aging, but now I'm in over my head.
If this isnt something I can do myself, I'm willing to pay monies if there is someone reputable with references that can fix this for me.
Update
I was able to use Odin 3.09 to install CSC_ATT_N900AATTDNL1_CL3032228_QB3188679_REV03_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
the phone is now able to boot and works fine but.... it is completely wiped.
I had saved most of my stuff odd the phone, but I still need to root and run data recovery on deleted photos
still needing help, please. thank you.
dale.
update
Currently downloading SM-N900A_OC1_Lollipop_Rooted_Rom.zip

i dont care for most current firmware, just want access to device so i can scan for previously deleted files, if they havent been overwritten....
Why are you not posting in your phones forum ??
This is not AT&T Note 3 .
RECUVA may find your lost data but it may be a lost cause already .
Now im trying to downgrade to kitkat 4.4.2 to root.

Would you please let me know how to flag an admin or moderator to move my thread? Thank you for your replies.
I found another software. Jihosoft.
I was able to downgrade from 5.0 to 4.4.2 and am running jihosoft now.
It looks like after flashing, I lost any hope of recovering files... im really not happy with this. I wish i hadn't bricked the thing in the first place.

I've tried several recovery software.
My entire DCIM filder from the device is gone. I'm assuming because I reflashed that I wrote over it? I'm surprised that 1500 pictures wouldnt be able to be found in the device.... Maybe theres solution I dont know about that can do a much deeper scan?
I'm so upset that I lost everything... Didnt realize it wasnt on the SD card... years of military and family photos gone...
I'd appreciate any help at this point. Does someone have access to forensic tools that can recover the lost data?

I've given up on recovery tools and want to make a .raw image of the internal storage that I can convert into a disc image which I can scan. I'm not really understanding how to do the directions at http://www.asoftech.com/articles/android-enable-mass-storage.html
Update:
I learned a LOT in the last few days.
I went and bought a 64gb SD card and am using Cygwin with the command dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/extSdCard/system.img
I am not certain if this will strip the entire 32gb internal memory and put it on SD card, but we will find out. It is currently at 3gb and growing fast.

Update file is now 8gb,. That must mean it is reading the entire internal memory. I'm doubting I can recover my files, but this has still been an amazing learning process. Will still need to convert the RAW file to a VHD.
I'm not certain I came to the right forums as nobody seems interested in responding. Maybe my problem is too low level for this place?

I successfuly dumped internal memory to an IMG file on the external SD. Scanned teh data but did not find waht I wanted.
I imagine that if I could get direct access to the internal memory I could recover the data, but that is not hardware or software possible anymore, so I learned once again to back up important things.
Thanks everyone for the helpful responses.
Now to decide what ROM to flash...
Any layman that comes across this thread in the future and wants to save deleted files off your phone, my advice to you is: Take the battery out of your phone and stop using it immediately. If you don't have root access, send it to a professional data recovery service and explain the type of files you lost.
