I'm trying to root my G1, and despite the fact that every guide in existence gives different steps, I've managed to confirm I HAVE root now but I need to load the HardSPL so I can load roms to the phone... right.
Except when I do HOME+POWER I get the red/green/blue/white boot loader screen and it says Serial0. I don't get the recovery image. Camera button is not stuck, it works fine.
Anybody know why it won't let me to the recovery screen?
EDIT:
Solution: Turns out recovery image itself was corrupt. Downloaded cyanogen's recovery 1.4 and all was well again.
I'm surprised that after reading for hours you didn't post this in Q&A...
Plug in phone.
Do the power home thing.
Press the back key.
Smack forehead with phone repeatedly.

Lol after reading this I couldn't stop laughing
Oh COME ON!!!
Talk about rude - you take the time to reply but you don't contribute... wtf.
I have been at this for FOUR HOURS!!!!!!!!!! I have searched every thread I can find for a solution, I haven't been spending hours looking at exactly how I should avoid offending someone! I gotta say, I never got this kind of rudeness in the Vogue forum, maybe switching to an android device has put me in with a new 'class' of users?
Now as far as the problem - the problem is that HOME+POWER does NOT bring up the recovery screen - THAT is the problem! It brings up the boot loader screen instead.
what step r u on ur using this right http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
Sounds to me like the recovery image was not installed in telnet, without it you would not be able to get into recovery cause there is not one to get into, read your steps on rooting and if if you have to redownload a recovery image, that is what happened to me on my second phone that I rooted

This is what I'm beginng to think, that the downloaded recovery image has errors or something. I think I'll try redownloading it.
Most likely is, it happens every once in awhile and yes you will get some people on this forum that are quite rude and make fun of you without helping, a lot will also sit there and play mod, but you have to just bare with it. There are a lot of great people that will help you out and all the devs do a really great job so the android platform was a great choice in my opinion
well unfortunately, I downloaded the recovery image again, put the sdcard back in the PC, copied it over again, ran through the root process on the device again.... and still can't get the recovery ROM...
did not expect this much of a problem, I had no issues unlocking my Touch VOGUE (similar process) and I run through going to recovery ROM all day long with people at my job, when all the n00bs forget their gmail passwords.
Solved!
After downloading recovery.img 3 times from the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480, I finally gave up and downloaded cm-recovery-1.4.img instead, renamed it recovery.img, and now I can access the recovery rom.
yay!
kudos to those that helped out! If you ever get me on the line at t-mobile pda tech support just say "xda developers" and I'll make sure to do my best to help out a bud!
That's great to hear buddy, seems like just a bad image, you will really like the g1 a lot now that it is rooted

TheDudeOfLife has contributed more to this forum and to making your device run like it does more than you ever will. He is one of the main developers here and has a large following using his ROM, it would be hard for him to contribute more than he already has.
Also, he did give you advice, he advised you to try hitting the back button to see if it would do anything, and if as suspected that it did help, he was only pointing out how dumb you would feel if that was all it took.
Just saying... anyways, congrats on fixing your phone. Next time post in the correct forum (I think its been moved anyways), and could you add [SOLVED] to the title of your thread so other might find it easier if they have the same problem.
Well it was resolved which is the main thing, was just a bad image before flashing which can happen.
TheDudeOfLife has contributed a fair bit to Android as well which his ROMs and whatnot and pressing Back does enable FASTBOOT at that stage.
No main harm done eh? ^_^ As h.nocturna suggested, if you could add a "[SOLVED]" tag to the thread title that would be great.
And you should feel privilaged that the dude came here and tried to help.

Are you serious? He got mocked by the guy and he should feel privileged because the guy is a ROM developer?!

Again, the original poster wasn't bashing 'the dude', just stating the obvious fact that mocking people and not contributing makes him look like an ass.
I know this post was very off topic, I was just so shocked that people bow down to ROM developers like they can do no wrong.

I was pointing out that he said that the Dude didn't contribute when indeed he gave him instructions on how to solve his problem (contribution #1) and he also contributes by developing ROMs that help everyone (contribution #2). So next time, read what I said and why I said it instead of just taking the quote out of context. And I don't think he was mocking, again, read why I don't think he was.
Wow, when did everyone become such sensitive nannies?
To be honest I thought I was answering his question with a joke and the answer. I didn't read (reading is fundemental) it and realize his recovery was bad. Glad you guys were able to work this out.

I do appreciate any and all help. I apologize for my own rash reactions. hours of fighting with something that should have been straightforward can do that to you! No idea why the image was bad twice, but once I switched to the other recovery image it was all good. I will add [SOLVED] to the title as suggested.

Thank God. I was beginning to think that I misjudged what you wrote and you didn't mean it as a joke. ~sigh~ reading comprehension ftw!
Hey guys, this is my first post. I couldn't find and introductions thread so I thought I would just put it here. I have an HTC Touch Diamond and I'm just a basic end user.
I purchased the phone from sprint because I am already a sprint customer, and I needed a tool to make my photography business stronger. The large screen is great for displaying photos should I meet a possible client anywhere, then I can email them pdf's straightaway. Also, the sprintnav is great for when I have more than one location on a shoot (friggin battery life gives me ONE location, so it's emergency only)
OK so then I got to tinkering with my phone, and found out there is a BUNCH of tinkering I can do with it.
So here I am. Wish me luck. I don't wanna break this thing (yet)
Mitch
hello Mitch, nice to see u and be careful..u'll get addicted here

Mike-Thanks!
Ingerasu-Thanks for the link I"ll check it out
Denco7- Yeah I was poking around and learned the term BRICK. 8) I definitely don't want to have to use that one! So I'll definitely be reading and rereading everything.
Thanks guys
Mitch
Up to date
So coming from what I started with...
I now run androkkid as my main UI. I have mighty ROM 4. I have an Alltel radio which has dropped a couple of calls so I think I might switch back to a Sprint radio for a while. I'm CDMA Diamond anyway...
I'm looking at flashing a new bootsplash into my device...
and damnit, I just might have to learn some manila editing to get the look I want on my pda...
After a check or two I might actually hit the donate button here......
This is a crazy amount of knowledge here.
Peace
Yeah the donation button is the best way to say thanks to this great site
Read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!
believe me that's on the way. but i only have six bucks left in my paypal acct and some recent CRAP has basically left me peniless and homeless. so i live with my brother rent free while i work a meager salary job (pay is a step over fast food) and try to rebuild my own business.
my car is gone, my apt is gone, etc etc
i just can't quite hit that donate button yet...
[/sob story]
Sorry to hear that
Wish that better times arrive to you soon
I've seen this floating around these forums before, spent 40 min looking for it but didn't find anything.
Someone wrote a shell extension thingy that made available two options: push to phone and install apk to phone. All this did was issue adb install blabla.apk and abd push blabla.bla
Help! =)
What OS?..
Sorry. Windows.
is it that hard to put tools in enviroment varaible and do adb push from cmd prompt
Child, you are clearly lost. I did not ask "how can I use the command line to push files to my phone". Please stop trolling.
Look at my post count compared to yours i am not trolling i simply asked is it that hard to do, i read and understand you want right click options to push/install, jus as right click signfile.. so dont get confused me of trolling and taking it the wrong way...
and i have not seen that here nor in Dev section.. i took the liberty and looking for you too and found nothing.. i could have been a azz and said dont be lazy and use cmds comd prompt and/or stop lazy and also use the search form instead of postting a question.. but i didnt i tried helping and looking
However, since you did not find anything (just like me, if you read the OP), there was absolutely no need to post a "is it that hard" post.
Edit: also, with the xda app I don't see the post count you are so fond of.
Im not fond of it all jus you come and start bashing, when simply i said is it that hard to do, since there was nothing found? it was a simple question your still taking offensive, there was no sarcastic/harsh meaning into that my original post
Ill man up and say im sorry you took it that way didnt mean it to be that way
and best regards in finding what your looking for
Well, don't take it too personally. I just had a very nasty street encounter and a prior sleepless night. Didn't want to take that out on anyone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712433&highlight=adb+click+windows
Looks like what you need.
This is exactly it. Thank you!
Very noob question so forgive me. I don't have any experience rooting and the instructions seem too much for me. Will there be a "one click" type option to rooting the NC, or is this the only instructions that will get it done? I know there may be people working hard to develop this option so forgive me if that's the case, and thank's for your hard work! I will definitely donate if there's an easier way to root!
There probably will be, you just have to wait for someone to put it together
Awesome! I love my NC but having a droid X I would love another Android beast to take around with me! Can't wait for a quick root option! Great work guys!
The root instructions are not as difficult as they seem.
The easiest way is to burn yourself a Live Linux CD and write the nooter image from there.
After that it's just inserting SD and wait a few mins.
I don't mind waiting if theres going to be a good quick option somewhere down the line. Im a patient person haha
I messed up big and accidentally deleted my os. I can get into TWRP, but I don't know what to do from here.

move the rom, gapps, and supersu over from a computer to your phone, then flash it in twrp. put your phone into recovery, then move them into your phone.
I'm a noob to this stuff so is there any thread with a tutorial or video explaining on how I can do this?

I don't think so, as this is the very basic thing that you should learn before you ever flash anything or before you root your device.
there are several ways you can transfer files, adb push is one, or you can just transfer them over using an option in twrp.
If you can't even drag and drop a file to your phone you shouldn't be flashing roms,this is pretty simplistic and basic... I try to help people but this gets really old everyday its the same thing over and over,sorry for my rant or sounding like a total d*#k!

ok, really old.. you have 500+ posts, it cant be that old to you. i have 32400+ posts, and im still willing to help everyone. you were a newb once as well, and im sure someone helped you somewhere. i know i was a newb once. oh, and im sure that youre not a dxxk! youre probably a nice guy as well
Ive been on here since 2010,I just don't post every time somebody needs something,I let others chip in. Bit you have to admit how many times do you login and see the same thing day after day.
1. He bought the phone with cm13 on it already and is a noob and doesn't know how or
2 he installed cm13 on his own but accidentally deleted the os which means he's done it before but automatically forgot how to do it again
Again sorry to op I'm being mean tonight!

i actually used to agree with you completely, in 2013 i was fed up with the same questions over and over and over again. then something happened to me that let me see past being fed up. i guess something like seeing the light. ive been nothing but very nice with newbies since. i do see people asking questions over and over again, that should know what they are doing. it those people ill get on, and wont be nice sometime
Anyways to answer your question do as Simms said
1.boot to twrp
2. Plug device to pc
3. After downloading rom,gapps,and SuperSU drag and drop from pc to your nexus 6
4. In twrp click install and install rom,gapps,and SuperSU
5. reboot and if twrp asks to install super user select no
6. Profit!!!
I'll be blunt here.
I have no patience for people looking for a handout. If a noob comes to this forum, does their research beforehand, and then encounters a problem, I'm more than willing to help them out. They at least are trying to learn how to do things on their own.
I place great value on self-reliance, and will reward the self-reliant with as much help as I can provide, within the limits of my experience. The OP on the other hand is on their own. Unlike the self-reliant person, the OP didn't bother to do their homework before attempting to mess around with their device, and on encountering a problem that could have been solved with a simple search, hit XDA Developers for help after the fact.
An increasing number of noobs aren't even bothering to read and understand what they are doing, because they are under the illusion that rooting is somehow cool or will grant them instant street cred. Rooting, as anyone with half a brain knows, is serious business. One wrong step and your shiny new device could become a shiny new paperweight. So, if the OP is unwilling to help themselves through simple research, how will giving the answer to them teach them anything?

100% agree, thumbs up. I have said this before on here but I think an admin. Deleted it, I don't think anybody reads anything anymore they just want somebody to do it for them
