thanks jamb, i followed your route and it was much easier. thankyou
Your welcome mate
when i ran though the steps, i got to the end and everything was how it should be.
as id been messin with it foe ages i decided to end there, and i posted all was well abouve.
ive tried to install to roms today both never worked so i must be doinf something wrong.
heres what ive been doing.
empty sdcard, put the rom on it still zipped and renamed to 'update' . insert sd into G1 then boot via home ad power. when ! screen apears press 'alt L' then sellect wipe data followed be install update.zip. then reboot.
once rebooted im still with the original 1.5 .
when i do the wipe and update.zip to me it seems to quick (like 3 seconds for both).
any help peeps
just noticed that that whan i attemp the updat.zip it states update terminated so ive fond my problem ive also noticet that the spl didnt update, even thou it looked last night if all was ok????
going to run through the steps again and see if anything changes. il update later
hi jamb can you gice me a diect link to the spl you used please i thnk that is where im going wrong
here ya go mate
DANGERSPL
sheers jamb, i just keep getting the same msg once i try the update.zip
varifying update package.....
E:No signiture (5 files)
E:Varification failed
Instalation aborted
im at a loss now. any ideas???
What recovery are you using? the alt L thing makes me think you are still using stock.
If you are using RA you don't need to rename it to update.
im using recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img
ihave just tried to use the one u are using but flashrec wouldnt see it, imreally at a loss now.
i just tried to install android stoc 1.0, so that i could start again but that to wouldnt install. so it looks like i may be stuck with 1.5 for now atleast.
edit- it wernt the one u have it was the recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2.img i tried second
mate u have Uk model?right
just intall flashrec and 1.6.2 recovery image
start flashrec / in the box type something like
/sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2.img
then flash it dont interpt then process and u got root ...
note : put img file in the root(main) of ur sd card
thanks for your help jamb, but i seem to have damaed the boot loader somewhere on my rooting journey ,
i think i know where i done it as after post one, and before post two, i did (i think) get root and managed to flash superCSDIv14, (i got the custom spash with the android bot peeking from behind the A) but after the splash the phone just went black.
when i got your first post i decided to follow that post, i managed to flask android 1.0, then update to 1.5 then from that point i couldnt flash nothing, i even tried to flash back to 1.0 at one point.
last night i went to bed thinking that id be stuck with 1.5, but when i woke, i made the QTA upgrade msg on my phone so i ran it and now am back to where i started 1.6 (which is good cos google nav was released yesrerday)
as the OTA update worked all must not be broken so i decided to start again and tried to flash 1.0, it just faid so. my friend i am giving up, thank you for your time.
stephen.
its been two days now since i gave up on my root of the G1 and am starting to get the craving to start tinker with t againg, i dont want it to beat me.

Hi! Here is the story of my nightmare... I have a Bell i9000m with Android 2.1. I have use GST tweaker tools to root it. I also have do a backup with titanium backup (but I think it useless at this step) After this I have try to change the battery icon with the same utility. When I have rebooted the phone, it stop at the "S" logo for a minute and after the screen go black and the button are glowing and the phone buzz. After this nothing happen. When I go in recovery mode (3e) I obtain an error:
update media, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/st110
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions,
copy default media content failed.
I have try with odin3 1.7 to flash the phone but I'm a little bit confused with all possibility...
One stupid thing I have to say, I don't know my original firmware version... ;-(
I have see many good custom kernel... it is possible to fix this and by the way to upgrade to froyo?
It is possible to fix my problem doc?
Thanks a lot for your help!
P.S. Sorry for my bad english, (i'm from Quebec,Canada)
Easiest fix :
Go in recovery and wipe.
Then restart and see if that fixed your problem.
Alternate (Guaranteed solution) :
Go here
Click "Direct Download". If you don't see it try to refresh the page.
Fire up odin.
Extract the zip u downloaded
For pda in odin select the .tar you extracted
Put your phone in download mode.
Flash w/o repartition or nething.
That should work.
Hi! I have try the 2 solutions you mention. But always same problem... I have to mention I have installed speedmod-kernel-k12p-500hz it is correct or I have to replace it?
Ok then do this :
Get these two
Flash odin with repartition and select the pda,modem,csc
Once done
Go back to odin. Flash just pda with no repartition or nething of the jl2 (previous thing u downloaded in my first post).
Sorry for this question but what do you mean by nething? (sorry english is not my first language!)
So leave everything the way it is.
Dont check mark anything extra.
YEAH! You solved my problem!!! You rock man!
Before I do any other stupid thing any advice?
I have visit some european site about android. They offer some firmware.. it is better to keep the "bell" specific firmware?,etc...
I don't know if I already say this ... Thanks you!
Try them.
Now u know
exactly how to restore if nething ever happens

.. ok. call me a n00b or w/e u want, but i understood everything up until that last part. when u go back to odin.
It would help if you can describe the set-up, because clearly i did something wrong... screenshots would help if possible /:
p.s. i have all the files downloaded from ur previous posts... i just need to know the order. also for the second download file, which file is the PDA file? the one with the word "CODE" in it? or i dont even apply that one .. ;;;
Hello, i've been having the same problem with my GT-i9003, and even after flashing with odin i still have the same problem. Well, it's not exactly the same, cause my phone will keep on a starting bucle if i try to start it without my EXTERNAL sd card (the one i bought), and if i start it with the external card in, it starts, but i can't use anything that uses the sd card (music, camera, 3g), so yes i can call and message and use wifi, but that's not how it's ment to be. Basically it's like i had no external or internal cards.
So everythime i try to flash without the external sd card, i get the mounting error, and if i flash with the external card, it seems ok , but i still can't use any of the things mentioned above.
I'm a bit lost, and i believe it's because i'm missing something (i'm new to this). i don't want to send it to samsung (yet)
i've been using the firmware that came with the phone, didn't try anything new.
to sum up: any attempts to flash with/without the external card are irrelevant, the problem persists.
Any thoughts/ideas/solutions?
thanks in advance.
anyone knows what this means???????. I'm I lost my Tab for ever???????

by the way. I just flashed the Honeycomb 3.0 but did not like it and attempt it to revert back to an original rom and that's when I ran in to trouble. I have full root but lost my clockworkmod recovery. how can I get it back and if you know any roms for Sprint Galaxy Tab?. thanks.
there is a link in thread i gave you above , check it
Would suggest to re-stock back to original firmware as this will fix up the internal storage...
I have this same issue after a failed firmware update, i was trying to update to 2.3 I have spent about 8 hours trying to fix this using the instructions and links etc on the link you supplied however im not 100% sure which of the several issues mentioned on the link is the one I actually have. Im not able to press the down and power key to get it into download mode. The screen in the picture only comes on when its plugged into the mains charger, i have once or twice got it to come on when plugged into the pc but not had any luck getting the firmware to update as i think the rom i had might have been corrupt or something. Do you know how to get the GT to let me update the firmware when its like this??
ok update, i left the GT plugged into the laptop until it came up with the screen in the picture, once this was displayed Odin picked up that the GT was plugged in i then used Odin to update the PIT and it started working again after that Hope this helps someone cause I spent all day looking for someone to say it was a simple to fix as this
Hi all!,

Ive been following the how to recover guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133590, but it took me ages to find the firmware for my tab, can only get an asian one of samsfirmware, but in the end tried to use this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315364 but I have had no luck, odin just crashes everytime i press start!. I live in the UK, but bought my tab in the US as it was quite a bit cheaper than it was over here.

Did you install the drivers? Does Odin find your tab?
EDIT: this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315364 is CWM flashable firmware, you can't flash this with Odin!
Yeah it finds it, and i ahve the drivers installed, ahh how stupid of me lol, well atm im downloading the asian firmware from samsfirmware, which i will try to use, and then I will flash it with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315364, will this work? or am i being stupid again?
Thanks for the help!
How did you brick it in the first place? What did you try to do?
If you are in Europe, why not just flash European firmware on it?
I tried to install the clock work recovery app, which when i ran crashed my tab, and it was stuck in the intro loops. I can get into the odin download mode as i said before, but thats it. Thats a fair point, but i cant find the european firmware, would much appreciate it if you could link it to me!
Thanks

Thankyou very much, that asian firmware actually worked in the end, worked when i tried a newer version of odin, so I should just do the same with this rom through odin with the one u linked? so i have european firmware?. Now i have a better understanding of it all, through learning the hard way , I was thinking of using the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321142 rom, with this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344330, is that ok?
