modding in st louis mo - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

does anyone know or do roms in st louis i want the hero rom, i tried but brick my phone got it back running but, still want the rom and dont want to brick it again so any help would be nice.

Not trying to be mean or rude or nothing like that, but if you get someone to do it for you, then want to change something later, you'll be in the same boat. It's not really a good idea to change anything on your phone unless you know how to fix what you break. You said you almost bricked it, but got it back. That means you got some stuff figured out. Don't give up. If you are scared you might end up with a brick, than testing roms is not for you. Stick with stock if it worries you that much.
The problem is you didn't spend enough time reading what people have already posted. If you had read it well you would know this thread won't get any answers, will get closed, and you run the risk of being banned for a few days for posting in the wrong section. This belongs in the Q&A section.
That said, read up a little more. Start with a normal modded rom, and then move on to a hero rom. Step by step instructions are in a number of posts here. If you still can't get it after a couple trys, ask in the right section, people are more than happy to help if you know where to post for them to see you need it.

Check your PM

There is no such thing as almost a brick, you brick it and you are done. Game over.
What you are refering to is known as a bootloop, I like to call them booty loops cause it makes them sound like a damn breakfast cereal and I don't feel too annoyed that I got one. Normally it is as easy as a wipe to fix or maybe a repartion to fix. Don't let a little misstep in your way stop you from learning what you need to. Even expert flashers run into the eventual problem but we are smart and make nandroid back-ups

I am in St. Louis and can help you.

They won't release the g1 like this because google doesn't want us to be chnging every thing, google doesn't want power users. I just had a big bowel of booty loops coming back from xrom to cyan's. Always yummy

Haykuro - can you fix BT in Hero?

Steve,
I know you have been focusing on other more important things recently, but we've had this big problem for a while here I was hoping you'd help address. Can you get bluetooth working on your latest Hero build? There were rumors you got it with the last version, though it has been so long, you've weighed in elsewhere (including the Rogers root), and the "dev challenge" with the big pot went unanswered so I figure you haven't actually done it. That said I feel like if anyone here could do it then it would be you. Shafty made some great progress, but it remains elusive. Anyway, I just wanted to ask.
Vette
I don't want to be bothersome, but this really should be in a different section or in a PM.
Not only that but you know when he comes back one person is gonna say one thing wrong and he is going to run off again. I agree he is a good Dev but you know what the Dev's we have has pushed everyone and rather have it how it is now then how it used to be with all the crying going on here. I know this will rub people the wrong way but some one needs to say it. IMO

I'm fairly sure haykuro said that he was going to post his ROM's at another forum site.

G1 stuck on G1 screen

My G1 is stuck on g1 screen. I was flashing haykuro's spl but i forgot to update my radio. I dont have a warranty and i cant repair because i just got this back a week ago so help would be appreciated just tell me some code or gesture or something to fix this by monday or else my dad's gonna kill me. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
There is no fix....sorry!
Well actually I'm not sorry given the volume of threads and posts relating to SPLs and radios. If you had done a little research first you would have easily realized that you have to update the radio before the SPL....that's by we call it the danger SPL!
I thought flashing the SPL before the radio mistake was so 6 months ago....I guess I was wrong.

Yep he summed it up pretty much, but you can tell tmo that the 1.6 update broke you G1. Or it came broke when you turned it on.
-Coolest phone is the one with the power of hero
thought you should know that
If your dad's gonna kill you, I'd say either run away or find someone else's g1 to borrow for a while (don't mess with their phone tho! stick with ota firmware!) Also, you should tell any buddies you have with g1/mytouch to NOT ROOT THEIR PHONES if they don't know what they are doing, its better to have an ota phone that works than a bricked phone from a botched root access attempt
I got this phone from china thats where my dad ordered it. this costed him $495 and when I bricked it last time it costed him $40 and the afternoon i got my phone he told me that he doesnt want to see my phone bricked again. I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP, IM ONLY 11 BUT IM PRETTY GOOD AT MODDING. HHHHHHHHEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aparently not.
I am good at modding its just i forgot that my radio was old. Im getting the psp go for christmas but if my dad finds out about this then Im not gonna get ANYTHING. Now its either you find someway to fix my g1 or your precious friend haykuro is coming down with me. ( I was flashing his spl when it soft bricked my phone)
I dont have $200 and i dont have a credit card. Can you guys do me a big favor? Can you all chip in to buy me a new g1 and one of you can buy it for me? PPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahahaha this is sooooo funny. First off who is gonna pay almost $500 for a g1. And why get it from china. Second Just like DM said why should we feel sorry for you when there has been warning signs forever. And last WHY WOULD WE DONATE MONEY TO YOU. I'll tell my son that he can't have any christmas presents cause I had to donate money to an awesome modder.

Obviously your not good at modding if this happened
You can't fix a brick... well you can but it requires modding hardware and after what you did to modding software I wouldn't try it.
And why is Haykuro coming down with you, he specifically says that he is NOT responsible for anything that happens, it is all the responsibility of you- and you alone. The best he can do is give you the things needed and instructions the rest is you, and you seemed to have messed that up

Is this kid serious?? How do you plan on blaming someone for a trying to use modified file that comes with A BIG WARNING & DISCLAIMER because you failed to follow directions properly

Wow really?? I mean no, seriously really?? Maybe we should all just start a huge donation fund specifically designated to the masses that bricked their phones because THEY CAN'T READ/FOLLOW DIRECTIONS
But on the plus side think of this as a learning experience, after you sit there Christmas morning and weep that you don't have any presents to open, I bet you'll never try to modify something again without doing your research and actually try being prepared before you mess with a device that costs a couple hundred dollars

Going back?

If I put the leaked 6.5 ROM on my phone, does anyone know how to go back to the factory software?
Are a stock T-Mobile ROM and radio for the Touch Pro 2 available?
Thanks guys! Just wanna be able to go back if I'm not happy.
If you flash HardSPL then yes, you can go back to 6.1
Ok, great and is there a 6.1 Stock T-Mobile ROM yet?
i dont mean to sound like a jerk at all... we're all noobs (i still am) at some point so with that said there are alot of threads where people ask for the original rom.
if you seach for a lil bit your answer can be found a few places... even google.
folk round here tend to get a lil harsh having to reanswer the same questions, for future reference.
this thread was made recently:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5379887
original rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550975
on a side note, i doubt you'll ever go back once you find the ROM that suits you
Hey thanks for the reply. I've been on here for a while and I'm no stranger to forums and forum etiquette so I'm not gonna use being a noob as an excuse for asking that question. But I do think we can get a bit stuffy with rules in forums in general, not just here. I think in the midst of a conversation with someone, to casually inquire about something without necessarily asking to be led by the hand to it, is ok. I'm sorry to have seemed like I was asking to be spoon fed, but I was just having casual conversation with you. With a simple yes, I would have searched myself.
But thanks for going to the trouble of finding those links. I just need to confirm now that that ROM and radio actually are working and not flawed in some way. I gotta figure out who created them and how.
Thanks again!
no problem man, it aint even like that with me... i had the link bookmarked anyway.
i was just trying to save you from being called out later on.
i dont never mind answerin anybodys questions cause i been there lookin for simple answers.
glad to help.
the rom works fine, i flashed it just to be sure everything was a-ok when i first got it.
like i said tho, once you find "your" rom, the links will be useless haha

Ok, here I go again. Need someone to pimp my Nexus One/Froyo for me..

I got help here to root it so I could get a proggy on there that would allow me to get fonts in larger sizes and yes, I'm very happy. HOWEVER, my HOT SPOT feature is not working and I"m guessing that pimpin' it is what did it and NO, I'm too stupid to fix it and the guy that helped me rooting it had no idea what to do. I'm close to Charlotte, NC and I was wondering if there's anyone around here that could help me? Ie, rooting it AND getting my hot spot stuff to work which is one of the reasons I bought this one and paid a small fortune for it.
Thanks and yes, I would be glad to pay a lil' sumptin' for it, take you out to lunch or help YOU out in any way.
George
you may be a noob, but seriously you didn't really expect anyone to have sympathy did you?, we all started somewhere.. hint: start by reading the stickies
God forbid someone would have sympathy but NO, the crying icon was there to spruce the thread up.
I have gotten great help in forums and I've run into a lot of a$$holes if that answers your question?
As for reading the stickies, I have a reading comprehension problem so that doesn't work for me. Of course, you may want to say that this is bull$hit
and I'm just trying to make it easy on my self and yes, I am but no, the reading thing is not bull and reading instructions are useless.
Last time, I had someone talk me through it in a chat and it worked but took around TWO hours. This would not have happened if it had been
done through here or e mail. You'd be talking days or weeks just getting the thing rooted.
However, I"m not sure how helpful your reply is? Plenty of that around the web. Lots of replies in help forums but LITTLE help. Mostly people that
think their $hit don't stink and that they can say anything just 'cause they're anonymous. Sounds like my neighbor. She used to talk all kinds of
$hit about EVERYONE and tell me how she stood up to someone and told them this or that to their face but she never did. Just told ME how damn
cool she was but I never saw any proof of it.
Yeah, it's easy to have an opinion online and make comments about any damn thing...
guiri_too,
Post in your local listings (Craigslist, for example). I'm sure there's probably someone in your area that can help you out.
An online forum isn't really the best setting for what you need. You need someone that knows what they're doing (no offense) to look at your phone and do what needs to be done. Otherwise... read through the threads, find rooting/modding instructions, get a custom recovery image on, make a backup, and flash a new ROM.
If you didn't know what you were getting yourself into, you shouldn't have done it. I don't mean that in a disrespectful way, either.
If I ONLY stuck to buying things I completely understood, I would NOT have a damn thing today and no worries, I wasn't insulted.
As for craigslist, haven't found much there but morons but I can give it a try.
However, I KNOW there's plenty of knowledge here, the trick is to find it. LIke I said, I got great help rooting it but now I see there's some problem which I ASSUME is from the rooting.
Note, NOTHING against the guy that helped me out, he did a great job and was very patient so I have no complaints, it's just that now that I found this out, I'd like to get it fixed.
Georg
well man, what you can do is give us some details too.. are you on a custom rom, or stock w/only root, also do you have stock recovery or kosh(sp) or Amon Ra's
If you know how to check you can simply go to about phone and check in there if you are on custom, usually in kernal it will have the devs name.. to find you bout recovery you get the app quickboot(in app market) and hit recovery if you have list of options and i mean a list then you have a custom recovery, if you only have 3 options then its stock..
If you got custom rom& recovery, then you can flash a different rom, this could have broken wifi or something along the way.. so what you do is find a custom rom you like( i say go with enomther) that one is close to stock as possible but with all perks taht are really needed
im new to the n1 communtiy as i barely got my n1 rooted, but i had my g1 for over a year or so and had bout 3 of those, and not much has change except the way to root it
Okie dokie Spanky, I'll see if I can figure it out and post back. I was hopin' someone local that's got more brains than I could pimp it but that's what I get for livin' in the boonies I guess

Please help!

I feel like an idiot, I am personally a galaxy note 2 rooted and custom rom'd user. The G1 was my first android phone years ago. I got 2 g1's for my mom and dad and am trying to get a custom recovery on them. I have rooted both, (1 on 1.5 and the other 1.6) and cannot even see clockwork mod rom manager in the market. I'm guessing because it is such an old android build. What the hell do I do to get a custom recovery on these? All the sites I have found that host amon ra 1.7 do not have the file any more. I wish it was just as easy as installing rom manager, but I canot find it in the market. Please help me, my parents are without phones and I look like a fool.

Ok, first, I will say THANK YOU. As I have already ready that and every other thread and must have missed the section that I just now found.
Second, you need to learn how to talk to people, because at risk of sounding like a keyboard cowboy, I am not the type of person that people talk to that way. I am not trying to flame here, I am thankful that you just helped me, but please understand that there is a right and wrong way to talk to people.
Again,
Thank you for helping me see what I had preciously overlooked.
Seriously... No need to be on a high horse here fella, trying to help you understand how and when to post in a forum, if you spent any time in the stickies you would see rules on where to post, theyre very basic and usualy shouldnt even need to be said as theyre kinda obvious. When you hit the search key it may be kinda hard at first, but then you realize its sorted by date, and when "recovery" pops up 30 times in the past fews feeks you haved to assume thered might be something for you in there
And yes i am just trying to help so i appreciate you saying thank you but really, your on the internet, dont be tough, i and everyone else will talk to you however we want, no one is tough on the internet, dont pretend like people care who you are and just be happy you were pointed in the right direction
Sent from my HTC MyTouch 4G Slide using xda premium
Lol, I have been a member of this forum longer than you, if you want to talk to me, I will pm you my phone number. I will also fly to see you. I can afford that. I dont live in my parents basement. I would love to continue this conversation in person, and will arrange it if you oblige, pm me. Please.
Im glad you made it out of your parents basment, again no one cares, no one cares how much money you have or that you dont have a fear of planes. No one cares how long youve been on the internet or members of a forum. And especially no one cares how tough you are. Feel free to waste your time flying down to see me, i and no one else will care that you do.
And for the sake of pointing out the obvious again, saying youve been a member of xda longer than i just shows that you should know where and when to post and just be greatful you got help anyhow, how about you show how tough you are by fighting the urge to even repond to this and learn to let it go, be greatful, and most important, be quiet
Sent from my HTC MyTouch 4G Slide using xda premium
Again, thank you for your help I honestly appreciate it. I just thought you came across a little harsh originally. No point of getting tough like you said, thanks again.
you know i should apologize too, i used to be very hot tempered back in the day and have come down to a normal level over the years, i appreciate you responding in kind
to clarify my purpose is to help people here and some time i come off as harsh only because im busy at the moment or get tired of similar question being asked
anyhow if you need any further help just ask, im around frequently and enjoy helping - just remember this isnt a **** comparing contest so we can leave it at that
good luck on rooting your phones
My kind of guy, thats an expression I would have used myself lmao. KCCO BROTHER
