I have tried every forum and every article's tips on how to root and NOTHING is working. I have cupcake. I have formatted my SD card using a reader because when I try to mount it using the phone it unmounted. I installed the program onto the SD card and powered it down. I hold down the camera button and hit power. The screen with the 3 colors comes up and just stays there doing nothing. Am I just not waiting long enough for the gray screen?
PLEASE HELP!

The screen you want for flashing is the one with the exclamation mark, activated by holding down HOME + POWER, you then press alt+l to display the log or whatever. How far did you get in the process anyway, my info kinda relys on what uve given me

Oh sorry (ignore my old post) here is a good link, start from
Before We Begin on the page http://wiki.allshadow.com/index.php/G1_Root, and make sure you are on RC7 or RC9 first. You need the DREAMIMG.nbh file in the root of your memory stick

Make sure your card is formatted to fat32. Make sure the file is DREAIMG.nbh and not DREAMIMG.nbh. Boot up by holding camera + power. If it doesn't boot right then redownload the DREAIMG.nbh file, could of been a bad download.
version I535 wont root or do any thin else help please. 4.4.3 kit cat yuk
I have a version Samsung galaxy S III I535 android version 4.4.3. I do not really care for Kit cat and wanted to root it like I did my girl friends. I have spent more then a month pouring over this site mostly this but others, I have tried a ton of programs with Odin, following directions to the letter. I still can not get the thing unlocked. Every program that says install with Odin fails The ones that say put it on your SD card go there but they wont install fully. hard to read fully but it says something about wrong or bad signature then more yellow letters follby more re and it quits and leave me a dead screen. So far I have gotten lucky, the only that has quite working is 4G and it does' n even show there is a router in the house so The tcpip is probably shot. Please folk Im begging for are some help my ST card runs out in two days and they are 45 dollars a piece. so hit me with the instructs, or constructive criticism. I am new to this Ive done it in a very old phone with CW on it so it was easy please from a desperate man how to get this thing to unlocked so I can rom it and put in ST card. And before anybody *****es about ST they have been great to me and mine.
Sure I went to version (worst mistake of my life except getting married,) like being married its great at the beginning then you get that first bill then it doesn't seem like a good idea for a while but after being lied to and having to pay $290.49 I gathered there crap brought it back to a version store and dumped it. The phone is mine I bought it from gur who fixes and resells phones. I have bought several phones from him both personal and to resell he does wonderful work but he is on vacation for 3 more weeks out west camping and
My phone did work great till I finger into it lol.
If some one has the time to speak English instead of android that would be even better. Please remember I am a phone retard so use small words and please oh please point me to software the will not fail while Odin is passing it to the phone, or off the sd card
Sincerely
Dan.

Ok i just got a free g1, im acually on att and all my phones have been winmo htc phones, even done a few custom roms for myself.
Anyways i got this phone thinking #1, i can unlock like any other htc phone fairly east to work with att? Second of all it keeps booting up and i see a triangle and a ! in the middle. When i hold down alt l and try to restore factory settings then reboot it goes to the same screen the error im getting is E: cant open /cache/recovery/command. So idk what to do from here i dont want any custom roms or anything honestly just want to unlock the phone and play with android, guessing something is horribly wrong with the rom on this phone.
Also this probably sounds really dumb but i dont see an SD slot on this phone its a t-mobile branded g1. Im not sure if its suppose to have one or what? The only thing i see is a place to insert the sim card right below the battery. If this phone doesnt have an sd slot am i screwed as far has getting it all fixed up.
Basically i know nothing about android this was a free phone figured it would make a good back up or replacement to my ATT fuze if i ended up like Android better than WinMo. Sorry for all the lame ass questions but im pretty clueless and would just like to get this phone running as quickly as possible so i can start playing with android and learn what im doing.

when you open the keyboard there is a little latch by the green call button that's where the sd card goes

You probably wont like this answer but you posted in the wrong forum. You really need to figure out how to search because the answer you seek is not a simple one. I would first start searching (maybe try Google) as to where the SD slot is located.
http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&q=g1+user+manual
would have saved you some confusion
as an xda member, i'd expect you to post in the right forum... LOL
the sd slot is underneath a cover below the green (send) button.
I find it easier to open the keyboard and pull on the tab on the upper left corner of the chin.
As to the rom, I'd suggest that you go into fastboot and flash a rom from there (boot while holding camera)
to flash in fastboot, use
Code:
flash_image (type) whatever.img

Seriously, he had no clue as to where the sd card was located, do you expect him to have downloaded the SDK and have fastboot setup? I really think he needs to search as it is more complicated than it seems.

And I thought I was trying not to sound cruel. Well at least you have hinted as to what he needs to search for.
seriously....can ANYONE read the rules? or even use a little bit of common sense before posting?
c'mon man, how could this possibly belong in the development section?
Moved as not Android Development.
sorry, if i posted in the wrong forum i googled xda g1 forum and just clicked it.
As for slashing the ting im really trying to avoid that. Like i said i know nothing about android. The first few times i turned the phone on on it worked fine, just told me to insert sim card. Then i got home turned it on to really start messing with it and it just wouldnt boot and has kept giving me that error, i have no idea why i didnt try to flash the thing or anything like that. Ive held down alt l, as per searching the net went to the restore factory defualt option the phone seems to format then when i reset it i get the same error and can only turn the phone off by removing the battery.
Sorry like i said i know these are all idiot questions, sorry about posting in the wrong forum originally, like i said just did a quick google and posted i was on my way out the door. I just want to get the phone working stock and go from there. Phone seemed to be just fine at one point, i didnt do anything to it, i couldnt even get past please insert sim, so idk why im even getting this error at all. Basically the little searching i did do a few days ago made it seem like it had to do with flashing and updating which i definately did not do.
from what I understand in your post you only "half setup" your phone
( got as far as being asked for sim )
try pressing ALT+w when at the " triangle ! "
this should do a factory data reset, and next time you boot it will set up your phone from the begining

Yeah I would want to avoid that too lmao
Thank you for the help but ive alread tried alt w and going back to defualts with alt l. Everytime the thing reboots after reseting defualts it goes back to that triangle screen. and when i press alt l it shows the error i mentioned before..
try this
http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/Unbrick
The "triangle screen" is the recovery mode. That error about recovery/command always shows up, it's no big deal.
Are you holding any buttons while you boot? Holding home while turning the phone on gets you to recovery (your triangle screen), holding camera gets you to fastboot. You just want to boot normally.
If the G1 isn't rooted, you won't be able to get past the initial setup screen unless you've got a T-Mobile sim in it. Once you get to the sim error, you've made progress from what you've said here though. If you can get back to that, search around. I seem to recall that some people here run their G1 without a sim, so perhaps you can find out how they did it.
Alright, someone has had a similar problem but not exactly this one. I went to begin my book tonight only to get "SD Card not Found." I turn around my Nook, notice the SD Card has popped out, I try to shove it in, it makes the clicking noise but pops back out... I repeat, it pops back out ...any suggestions?
Edit: Tried 2 different SD cards

Yeah, kind of confirmed what I already knew but didn't want to admit to myself. This should be fun returning to stock.
If you're running any of the rooted stock roms(1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.1.0), and if I remember correctly, there should be a way through adb to set the nook up to self-reboot 8 times and kick in the factory reset. Without you having to touch it. Try looking through the development forum and nookdevs, I know it's in there somewhere.
restore using the stock images using a bootable SD card and 1.0.1 image and just hold the sd card in with your fingernail (or your girlfriends if you don't have any). It'll mean a slightly achey and tired finger but it works.
I had exactly this problem with my first Nook 2 months ago. I didn't notice that it had popped out until after a failed rooting (autonooter) attempt. I was convinced that I had bricked my nook.
A bad microSD slot is a deal breaker. You NEED that slot to work. Take it back while you still can. (The gargoyle at the WalMart that I returned to scrutinized the serial numbers intensely, but didn't even turn the thing on)
Hey all,
I ran into an issue with this message and was able to resolve it. My round-about story (with all the details, some immaterial to the issue)...
The issue: Anytime the phone would be accessed/woken up after a few minutes of not being used, I would get the message to check the battery cover. I also would get the message when rebooting but that one appears to be normal. The one that appears each time after minutes of inactivity is not normal. I would only get the message to check the charging port cover after removing the charging cable, so that always remained normal and as it should.
I did the usual: ensured that the battery cover was on correctly, securely and entirely...several times. I figured it was an issue that I was going to have to live with. I also noticed that I would intermittently get a message about my SD card. Sometimes the error would say that it is blank, sometimes it would say it is blank or has unsupported files on it, other times it would simply tell me it was safe to remove my SD card. All for no apparent reason. I placed my card in my daughter's S5 and it worked. Placed it in my wife's S5 and it worked. Checked it on my PC and it worked. I even went so far as to wipe it out, format it and try again. Still received the error message on my phone. Not frequently but often enough to where I began to wonder if I was sold a bad phone.
I read some folks recommended doing a factory reset. I had nothing to lose so I did. I was reinstalling everything and things went well for the first few minutes and then the screen died. The phone was live, the buttons would light up but the screen would never turn on. I immediately headed over to the store and spoke with a really cool manager would agreed to swap out the phone for a new one since I have only had it 3 weeks (as opposed to sending me to the circus tent that is the maintenance facility). New SIM, new phone. Was a happy camper.
Got home, installed everything...and again....the messages started coming to check the battery cover. Frustrated I just decided that it was an issue I was going to have to live with afterall. Hopefully a fix will come about later, right? Well, it wasn't too much longer that the SD errors started again but this time more often. This can't be good. So, I decided to try swapping out the SD cards on my phone and my daughter's phone for a longer period of time. Let's do it overnight. So, in the morning I checked my phone (with her SD card). No messages at all. I checked her phone with my SD card. Hers now had the check batter cover message. I let both sit for a few minutes and checked them again. No messages on mine, but hers once again had the check battery cover. No errors regarding the SD card tho and it was able to access the content on the SD card just fine. Both SD Cards are 16GB SanDisk.
So, to further test, I swapped the SD cards again, putting her card back in her phone and mine back in my phone. Sure enough, mine was getting the check battery cover and hers was not.
So, long story short, it turns out that my SD card is causing the check battery message. It was throwing SD card errors on my phone but not on hers. So, for those people getting the constant battery cover message but not getting the SD card errors....try swapping out SD cards and see if that resolves the issue.
Hope that helps and wasn't too wordy...just wanted to make sure all the info was there.
EDIT:
SD Card that went bad was SanDisk microSD 16GB. Was replaced with an identical card and works fine. It has been a couple of weeks now and the replacement SD card in my GS5 continues to function properly and I no longer get the pop-ups unless I reboot or have actually removed the battery cover. I left the bad one in my tablet this whole time just to see and sure enough it was giving errors for a week and now it simply no longer works.

Damn I was hoping for something different. I'm getting the same messages,
But I haven't put a SD CARD in yet. Still have my Note 2 running, S5 is a work phone. I've tried different ways to install cover. Mostly following the pressure point indications that flash up with the message pops up.
I'll monitor it, I can't remember when the last time I've seen them. Forgot phone at work yesterday charging it.
If I don't get messages any more, my fix was putting the cover on starting at the top. You definitely need to hear the clicks on all sides. I noticed sometimes I would not hear the top click if I started putting cover on from the bottom or sides.
Good find on the SDCARD issue though. Can you edit your first post and add in make/model of the cards that are working for you, and the one that is causing errors as reference.
It would be interesting to know if it's specific makes/models/sizes of cards that cause the message.

Actually, you were treating the symptom, not the cause. That's the same as if your car was leaking oil in the driveway and you simply put a pan under the car to catch the oil. Sure, you are no longer getting oil on your driveway but it doesn't change the fact that your car still has an oil leak and will eventually lock up the engine if not fixed. By fixing the actual problem (bad SD card), I was able to resolve the pop-up notices.
Fix the problem and the symptoms go away.

When everything is working properly do you get the "check battery" pop up after reboot and "check charging flap" after charging? YES it's built in annoying I was offerin a suggestion to get rid of those annoying pop ups that is all.

Yes, the message does now appear only when it is supposed to and no longer appears when it is not supposed to. When it appears as designed, it is not a problem. It may an annoyance to some, but is in no way a problem because that's what it was designed to do. When the pop-ups do appear at times when it is not supposed to then it is considered a problem because that isn't what it was designed to do. Mine was doing it when it wasn't supposed to. This is why the title of the post was called "Check Battery Cover message problem" and not "Check Battery Cover message toggle to shut it off from showing up when it's supposed to."

Wow that's a trip. I was expecting it to be an issue with maybe the top of the card being slighter fatter.
I was beginning to question whether the I-Balson case I put on it was tripping a sensor.

Slightly bend connectors - Samsung S5 - check batteri message
Hi!
I´ve also had the same issue for some time and it started when I got a new flip wallet case. Now I got real tired of this and I tried to solve the issue by simply and carefully BEND the two connectors on the back of the phone nearby the camera. And that SOLVED my issue - the message is gone!! Before it came frequently all the time. :good:

I know this is an old thread, but oh man! is this guy for real? can't tell if it's a poor attempt at trolling, or a poor attempt at issue comprehension and resolution.
Old thread but I just got bit in the butt by this one. I was only getting the message about the back cover on reboots. I would have thought that you would never see this message unless there was an issue, but did some reading and it seemed that this was normal behavior. So I took the phone snorkling (yes I know you're not supposed to take it in salt water but figured I could clean out the headphone jack). By the time I took it out of my pocket to take pics, it was dead (no more than 5 minutes). Took off the back cover, found water which left salt behind after it dried. Phone has not recovered, I am going to try to take it apart this weekend and clean out the salt. It was a work phone and already been replaced, but I'd like to try to get the pictures off of this from my vacation. It would be nice if there was a way to know for sure if the phone is properly sealed up before going into the water with it. Work gave me another S5, but I won't be exposing it to any water because I can't trust that it's properly sealed.
(FIXED) "CHECK BATTERY COVER" AND "SD CARD IS REMOVED" issues.
Hello everyone. I getting some problems on my S5 mini G800F .
When I bought it, worked perfectly, but then some days later a very annoying "Check battery cover" popup is coming up, when I restart and when I wake up and unlock my phone. And it got even worse. When I woke up my device, it comes with that annoying msg but it stands for 2 seconds and U CAN'T CLOSE IT! I PRESSED FOR 5 MINUTES STILL IT DONT GO. I FIGURED OUT THAT ONLY WHEN I PRESS MULTITASKING OR HOME BUTTON STOPS THIS. ONLY FOR THIS TIME. Then week later, a "SD card is removed" error comes up . I formatted it on my phone. What is the problem of this? :what:
EDIT: RESTARTED MY DEVICE. AND I GET ON BLACK BACKGROUND POPUP "CHECK BTR COVER" AND U PRESS AND IT DONT GO. BUT IF I PRESS HOME IT GOES AWAY BUT TOUCHWIZ LOADS LIKE IT WAS CRASHED OR JUST STOPPED. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY DEVICE??

I FIXED IT, I DIDN'T DELETE MY POSTS TO SHOW OTHER PEOPLE HOW TO REPAIR THIS ANNOYING THING.
G800H here, almost same thing since I installed a 64Gb SD card, but mine says "damaged SD card" instead and both are cured rebooting......till the next wake up....
I just read some forums, other people have this problem too. And on S5. Maybe we have to go with Samsung's SD cards...
There's an update for my device.... I was running G800FXXU1ANL1 now update is FXXU1AOG2 ... NOT ANDROID 5... Maybe update is to prepare software for 5.... Only changed clock a little bit and updated GAPPS... very cool update from samsung...
The update fixed the batt cover and sd problems?
Card was dead, not a phone problem
Nope....
But I realised that "empty sd card" is showing so long on my phone.... so i connected my SD card to my tab, it started to show "empty sd card" too!
I formatted it, but i think it failed because it formatted too fast and it don't fix "empty SD card" error. So, I connected it to my PC, taken 2 minutes to detect it. Then, Windows said "You have to format D: to continue".... but it detected only 31MB out of4GB(4GB Sandisk), and Windows failed to format, too... I tried format with NTFS, exFAT and FAT, doesn't work... I tried to recover it, but I failed... R.I.P. 4GB SanDisk. Hello, Healthy Phone!
Without SD Card, it fixed all problems that I had!
EDIT: It was 4GB SanDisk Class 4, I readed in other forums, that it doesn't show any problems if you have Class 10 SD Card..
Update after about three months, I have Samsung 64GB Class 10 card with 90mb/s reading and 80mb/s writing speeds.
No issues AT ALL. But sometimes after restarting my device, it shows this. I think it's normal.
