Hi guys
i had a rogers htc dream. i have used to the one click guide and haykuro methods to root my phone with cyanagen rom. however my phone is running extremely slow for some reason and i would have to force close all the application everytime. the only way to make it work is to uninstall and reinstall and reboot and use them for an hour and start force closing again.
while i was browsing i came to find out abt Super Dwang. some people are sayings it stable and fast. so i decided to try it. so i also wanted to get the new recovery Aman-Ra. once i installed that recovery...i was no longer able to go in recovery mode or start my phone. it would remain stuck on ROGERS logo. no matter what i tried didnt help. in desperation and by panicing i used the method on code.google.com to unbrick my phone. which led me to download DREAM.nbh and update that. little did i know once i have done that i ended up on T-mobile G1 with 1.0 firmwire and the original SPL. noting i could think of worked. i did reasearch one for last 5 hours and no help. so i have no choice to but post a thread in hope for a solution. i do want to mention was able to go to firmwire 1.1 with rc033 if that helps. i wanan go back to original HTC DREAM they way it came from rogers with 1.5 cupcake. if i want to root again i will do it later. also how do u upgrade radio i cant seem to do anything. please help.....i dun have a spare phone!!! i can make call but i am just so disappointed....please someone help me! i am a noob at this!
relax
At least its still running. I rooted my t-mobile under nearly the same circumstances (v1.1 etc) using the gold card hack. Youre a noob? So keep reading until you know what youre doing. Im at work atm. Maybe i can help when i get home. But 5 hours waiting is nothing. Dont force it. You could try it in the #android irc channel at freenode, meanwhile.
hey sHR00m thnaks alot. but i was able to go back to the root mode with cyanoge. what i did is i used to flashrec to back up and then flashed cyanoge 1.4 and at that point i was able to goto recovery mode and i used my laptop to put donut and latest cyanogen rom in the sd card and did a full wipe and installed. however when it loads it still says t-mobile g1 no that i care. i was able to use 3g from rogers! (it also returned me to original radio). but then i installed the amon-ra recovery and installed it (btw its amazing) and i flashed superD rom (super dwang) and its amazingly smooth! but i have 2g...dont have option for 3g and even with 2g i cant access the interent at all...no edge noting. i can only use WIFI.... with cyanogen latest rom its darn slow everything keeps force closing. apps dont run properly.....id unno why. there are many who are like its wow fast and me i am not getting the speed. i dunno what to do....can anyone plz help? i need 3g back or otherwise return to cyanogen but need to have speed and stability....
ah glad you made it back. no idea about the radio thing tho. im sure the information you need is out there but dont mess with the radio until you get it.
hey thanks...so right now i am on dwangs latest rom....and although i wasnt able to go on interent with my provider. i manually put in the apn's and to surf on 3g however with the dwang rom i cant seem to make it work for app2sd. i mean i created a partition and when i load i dun see a second part for my sd. and when i am installing apps it uses internal storage but not full but a partial. for example i installed a 4 mb app but i saw a 2 mb decrease on internal storage.

Sometime between flashing JacHEROski1.6r3cc(from twitter. Really slow by the way, needs tweaking) AND Cyan's 4.0.4 my G1 has decided that wifi doesn't need to work anymore.
I've tried several roms since I realized it wasn't able to turn on to try and get it working. I've also search Q&A and Dream Development looking for anyone or anything on the issue with no result.
I've reflashed the radio and spl and even had no luck with getting it to work on JF1.51 ADP. I'm stumped and would like to get it working.
I'm sorry in advance if this thread is uncalled for. Delete it if you must, but after 3 days of searching and requesting help from fellow xda peeps I am still without a fix.

Edit: 8/31/09
Okay so after calling T-mobile's PDA tech support I've found out that this issue has warrant for replacement. It is a know issue with their latest update. Before they could send me out a replacement I had to check the color indicator circle to make sure it is white (which it is) and give the my G1's IMEI # which I did located under the battery. I am now waiting for a replacement which should arrive in a week. SO Yeah!!! I wasn't able to change the color though (the bronze has a hard to read slide out keyboard is dim light) and I guess my battery warranty was up in July = [
I have a few days left before I have to send it in. Does anybody want any info off my device before I return it? Like logs etc. Just pm me.
Mod thanks for not closing this thread right away = ]
Mod okay to close = ]

Huh... well... I hate to say it... but it may be a hardware issue. Sorry. If you wipe and flash your rom then it should start up. Or maybe it could be your access point (if it's an 802.11a or something).
you may want to hit me for saying this, but if you can't get a wipe/flashing fix, try going back to rc-29 and finding the stock 1.5 update (someone has it in their sig i just can't recall right now, sorry). and see if it will work in a stock build. if it doesn't then it is a hardware problem and your phone will be back at stock so you can call for help. if it does work on stock though, since you have already rooted your phone before i have an easy to follow guide to get you back to the latest and greatest cyanogen mod from stock in my sig
hope this is of some help
definitely try what binary100100 posted above me first though.
I'll try R29. I am rooted. I can su in terminal in all the roms accept Cyan's 4.1.1 (theres something weird with it) So my plan is to flash to an Official T-mobile rom and call for tech support. is there anything I need to know before I call tomorrow?

do not mention ANYTHING about rooting, flashing, recovery, anything technical at all. the dumber you sound the better.
Thanks for the advice. I will post my findings tomorrow.
Have you looked thru your kernel log (dmesg) for any error messages that might show up when you attempt to turn on your wireless radio? I'd check there first and post back.
For some odd reason everytime I try to install the cyanogen rom v4.0.4 I believe its one of the stable ones, I do everything to root my fone and install the rom and my fone says its done w the updates and to reboot it and when I do it stays @ the g1 screen. Now I take the battery out and press the cam and end buttons to reinstall the dreaimg to take it back to rc29 state. When I power it up it works just fine the lil android dude pops up and i put in my info and then just redo the steps to the cyanogen rom and for some reason my fone will install everything I will assume properly and i go to reboot it and it stays on the tmobile g1 screen.
I need help! I have tried and tried and Idk what to do now.
This all started bc I deleted something from the cm updater and my fone hasnt worked since...if ne one can help me plz email me @ [email protected]....
Thanx!

try flashing another build. or wait about 15 maybe 20mins and see if goes away. or just do wipe... or i bet its your sd card try getting to the point where it hangs take out the sd card and then turn it on again.
The first boot after each flash or dalvik-cache dump will take a long time. Just be patient.

Yes a real long time, right fingerlickin. lol
But if you loaded RC29 back then your gonna have to reroot.
I would suggest wiping if you issue isn't fixed by waiting. I've had to wipe a few times jumping between Experimental and Stable builds mainly because of big Donut differences in the build's.
Fixed???
I think it may have fixed it self, I had my friend look @ it and I had taken the sd card out of it and showed him what happened and he left it alone and it came up w/ an update now he did and its working now like normal...SOoO im scared to try again jus bc i dont wanna f*** it up again but Im stubbern and w/ the info ive learned so far on all these sites I just may do it all over again.
Use THIS guide next time.

Cyanogenrom not working???? HELP!
For some reason every time i dl the cyanogen rom on my g1 it doesnt work i do everything have followed every step and it doesnt work....but i downloaded jf just to see if it worked and it did but im still wondering why this cyanogen rom 4.0.4 doesnt work??? [email protected]
Hi guys
So after unsuccessfully trying to root my G1, I changed my mind on the mastter and decided to keep it stock OS. I managed to get back to Android 1.0.
I’ve put a formatted and FAT32 SD card in the phone, with RC8 (UK phone) on it named update.zip (file ext hidden in windows).
I boot up the phone holding home key, ALT L then ALT S. It boots successfully saying things like ‘package verified’ etc until it says ‘install complete’. Then it says ‘press home+back to reboot your phone. When I do that it says ‘writing radio image’ then reboots. When it turns back on it has a picture of a sim card and an arrow or a phone and a box then reboots again. And here lies the problem: it never leaves the G1 screen (the first screen displayed when powering on the device. I’m able to power into recovery mode and fastboot mode, and from fastboot mode I can recover the phone by flashing to 1.0 via DREAIMG.NBH, but I really want to be running 1.6.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks
What phone are you using...a UK G1 or a US G1, as your trying to flash a UK rom...(rc8) have you tried flashing RC29? After flashing to android 1.0 it will prompt you to update your phone to 1.6 after that.

That's because you didn't flash your SPL yet.. I'll edit this post with the link to it. Oh and before I do, which rom are you trying to flash?

That sounds promising I'm trying to flash UK 1.5 RC8. So I have to install this SPL first and then install the software? I'm correct in jumping straight from 1.0 to 1.5 right?

Do I need to flash this SPL? The bottom one on this page http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/downloads/list?q=label:SPL
it's called G1originalBootloadernocheck.zip or something similar
I wouldn't trust that, but I don't know just hold on. Wait a minute, so you flashed the RC8 rom? Are you sure, how long did you wait at the T-mobile G1 screen for? Try flashing RC8 again and let the phone do it's thing. Wait a max of 10 minutes for the phone to load.

I'm hoping that you're rooted at 1.0.. And nono, you flash radio first, then SPL THEN the rom.

... sounds like he wants to flash.
-EDIT-
Why would he want to go back to stock if he flashed 1.0? Isn't that the first thing you do when you root?
After you flash DREAIMG.nbh, give the phone a few days and it will update over the air.

He said he changed his mind because he tried to root but he failed so he's trying to go back to stock OS.

Oh my bad. My lack of attention span prevented me from reading that but to go back to the stock, do what cloverdale said. Reflash your G1 with the RC8 and WAIT for the update. There's no need to do it manually.
Thanks guys! Yes the root looked like it was about to brick my phone so I abandoned it and was feeling overwhelming relieved to even get normal OS back on my phone. So I should just wait for the over the air update (in the UK) and it will automatically bring it up to 1.6 again? Sorry for the late reply, my internet has only just started working, and itll be off again soon!
Why not do it manually btw guys?
Yeah you can just do what cloverdale said, or you can go to the settings(pick it by pressing menu on the phone) and scoll all the way to the bottom to "about phone" I believe there will be an "upgrade" option but I'm not quite sure . You can do it manually by dling the upgrade off the internet somewhere but it's probably better(on the safe side) to just download it from your phone.

Yes, just give it some time and it will update to 1.6 (or maybe 2.0/2.1). I would suggest waiting of the OTA update and not doing it manually simply because I what I read about your reactions to rooting. I am not trying to be mean when I say this, but the stress it seemed to cause from starting the rooting process may be recreated through a manual flash. Take life easy, relax, and it will update very soon.
OK, no offence taken. I didnt know 2.0 was out for the G1 yet..
I think my rooting went wrong because I didnt flash a radio image or SPL prior to the software - I tried to complete it with limited net access and therefore information, and a non working phone and non working internet is too much of a hinderance as i need these things every day.
I mainly wanted to root it to make the higher end 3d games run smoother via overclocking and use it as a wifi point so i could access the net properly again whilst BT stop ****ing around.
tried to root my g1 today and came stuck, i downgrade android from 1.6 to 1.0, and the next step was to download telnet from the market, but i couldnt get the market to download.
i can see the apps in the market but it just wont download. can anyon help this is the walkthrough i was following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480 , i got to step 6 in the Root your R29 or lower section.
please help
the rom i would like to put on is SuperCSDIv4, so any tips and advice would be good
well mate the rooting that work for me was
RC7-->manually update till i was able to bypass the signin screen then enable wifi (the os which i bypass was 1.5)then download linda file mannager from market/downloaded and install flash.apk and recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.1.img then followed the step as mentioned ...voola and as rooted
i recommand u to use 1-step rooting..it works and soo much easy
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-root-the-mytouch-3g-or-g1-in-one-click/
and search for recovery-RA-dream-v.1.5.2.img

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

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.
can anyone outthere shed anylight on my plight. also give me some pointers.
i . ll just start from the beginning. i installed a jesus freke ROM on my G1, i dont remember what version. i think it was 1.41 or something like that. (RC29 or RC33, idr). i downloaded an app or maybe it was an app that came with the ROM that let me know of jesus freke's updates. i hadnt checked it awhile as the G1 is not my primary device. when i checked for it last week, it showed an update and i attempted to install it. i completely forgot the procedure for updating a new image and im prretty i bricked it because it wont go past the android screen, even after waiting about 10-15 minutes, it still wont go past it. so my question is, can somebody please help me unbrick my G1? im in no hurry as im not using it on a daily basis, but id like to get this resolved as soon as possible so i can sell my G1. anyways, id appreciate it if someone could help. if so, can you give some detailed instructions as im not TOO familiar with android. i know a little about it, but too much.
thanks guys,
josh.
if you can access recovery mode, just go and reinstall other rom, i recommend cyanogenmod - user friendly and it got a complete guide on there website to install.
youll have to expand on that a little more, like i said, im not that familiar with android.. i dont have an SD card in there, and i suppose that might pose a problem trying to flash another ROM to it.. can you give me some links and some specific directions when you have a chance..? i'd greatly appreciate it.

This right here is why I say don't root if you don't know wtf you're doing. This always happens to people who should have just stayed away. Look:
Power phone completely off. Hold home key and power on. If you get to the recovery screen (the screen with a bunch of options, probably all written in green for you) then you're not bricked. All you need to do is put latest cyanogenmod on your sdcard, wipe your phone, and install it.
