I downloaded this so called donut update and had problem with it after flashing it. It got stuck at the G1 screen. I was still able to restore all my data though... does any one know what could have goon wrong. And by the way I am trying to create a copy of the donut for cupcake and was wondering how to create a boot image(boot.img). I am also having problems with the smilocks I think that is what it is called how do u fix it?????

First and foremost, this should have been posted in the Q&A forum. This is development, not a place to fix your boot looped phone.
Now, to help you. Where did you get this update? Why were you installing it?
I would suggest booting to recovery and wiping your phone. Then reinstall the ROM that you were on and see if it will boot up after that. Or just restore your nandroid backup if you have one. If that doesn't work you may need to wipe your ext partition too. Without knowing what the update was or what was included in it, it's hard to say how much you will have to wipe to get your ROM working again. For instance, if it included a radio update you might have to reflash your radio.
I got this from droidheaven.com. sorry that I posted it in the wrong place
He said he did restore his phone and that he wanted to build a boot.img, so in a way it is devolpment since he is not at a boot loop
Yeah I wiped flashed but I didn't wipe the ext

all of ur questions are already answered throughout this forum, use the search function. but to make ur troubles a bit easier. find a rom on here that is declared stable, reformat ur sdcard with the correct partitions(again everything u need to know can be found with the search function) and just reflash. if u cannot figure any of this out, throw ur g1 into the wall as hard as possible. fixed my problem.

You want to build a boot.img, but you don't understand it...What are you trying to do exactly?
Cyan's latest experimental ROM has a few faetures from Donut and has working Wifi, unlike that donut preview ROM, why not use that?

Too right, I highly doubt they got permission to host any of those ROMs, and that fact that they release them with no information leads to people coming to xda for help.
If u open up a rom. There is a boot img.. do I need it or should I edit. What is it for

If you don't know what it is, leave it alone.
Don't just go messing with files all willy nilly. Read through this forum and you'll find all kinds of helpful things, like what a boot.img file is for. Start messing with things like that and you'll be crashing your phone faster than I can type this (and I type fast).
Just leave your phone alone. If you feel like doing some modifications to it, just use some of the stable builds here and don't fuss with them, they are stable for a reason.

Tinkering with things is how some people learn! I completely disagree with your statement.
To the OP, mess with whatever you want, just be prepared to break things if you don't know what they do. Reading and learning is part of the journey, but eventually you are going to have to start futzing with things. When you do, be prepared for failure and technical problems. I bought a spare G1 on ebay for just this purpose. If it breaks, gets bricked, or is down for a few hours, then I still have my primary phone. If you want to start tinkering seriously, then consider a spare phone.
Ok... is there an how to make a rom guide or something.... I searched I couldn't find anything
im a bit new to xda developers. ive scourged the forums all day via search and found no concrete help or answers.
FIRST: i dont know what adb is and because of that, idk why my nandroid backups and restore wont work. it say "push via adb" or something like that
SECOND: i also dont know how to use sdk or whatever it is.
i need a detailed walkthrough of some sorts because the search on this forum sucks and did not help me at all
*COUGH*google search "ADB HOW TO" *COUGH*

took all of 2 seconds dude.....not being able to find info on adb is bs. not trying to be a douche but seriously....

not to highjack the thread, but whats it mean when recovery starts prompting you to exctecute command via adb/sdk? i noticedbmy bluecarebear is TRUELY angry with me, so much hes not wiping my ext or dalvk!
nandroid works, backup and restore
factory data reset works
but wiping doesnt.
help?
Well using the xda search "ADB" the first result is a thread that leads you to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
How is that difficult? Everything you need to know about the ADB et al is there
As far as the sdk is concerned, your hero is rooted so it is on your pc already if you followed the traditional process. Otherwise it is there in the link as well.
Seriously I am not trying to be a smart ass but too many people give up before even trying.

if you dont use app2sd then ext means nothing, trying to wipe dalvik normally yells at you but it should be alright

I would try reflashing your recovery image.
I had trouble with the green one a while back, I changed images a couple times for other reasons. Back on green cb now with no problems since flashing over the problematic image.

im not up on most of the geek terminology or whatever it is, in other words the guide here wasnt helpful, but since im rooted, i guess i dont need it(sdk) or whatevr. i still cant figure out why i cant make any nandroid backups or restore currently stored ones
... I'm speechless, or I guess in this case typeless
*edit- +1 On what subliminalurge says in the next post. This stuff is not hard to learn. Either commit yourself to a couple weekends of focused enlightenment or make your peace with the stock setup. Almost any of us would be happy to help... after you take the first couple steps and learn some of the FUNDAMENTALS.
Go to the "GUIDE WIKI" and read read read, when you start becoming familiar with some of the "geek terminology" come back and we'll help connect some of the dots.

Also not trying to be a smartass, but come on dude. If you're not willing to hit google and learn a little bit, then you are probably already in over your head just with what you've done to your phone so far.
I STRONGLY recommend you find a way to be happy with stock phones. Otherwise, I see a large collection of very expensive paperweights in your future.
Okay so before i mess with my phone again..lol
i rooted my phone with Fresh Kitchen
what does that put my phone at? lol
like ive been looking around is my phone rooted with 2.1 or whats the deal?
i wanna know what cool theme i can put on with out jackin up my phone again hahah
plz and thanks
this just roots your phone..
you are still at 1.5
read up on how to flash roms :]
okay! thanks man got a link? or shall i just google like ive been doing hahah
Very first thing you should do is.. Turn off phone.
Hold down home + power button.. Scroll down to backup/restore.
Then do a nano backup... Not the one with ext.
Then boot your phone back up and open up your sdcard on your comp and go to nandroid/file inside it/ then copy that file to your computer. Always keep it safe.
okay will do!
since im on 1.5 how would i put on 2.1 or whatever..lol
i see some bad ass themes around lol
Jw..heres a link

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=CDMA Hero ROMs
Here is a list of roms.. I prefer damage control 2.07.2 or fresh 2.0d
Download the file and save the .zip file to your sd card.. NOT IN A FOLDER
Boot into recovery and then go to wipe.. Wipe factory/data and dalvik
Press back then go to flash from sdcard.. Find the rom you put on there, click it and watch it go.
After its done reboot your phone and wait.
After that i would prefer reading on how to customize it from there..
REMEMBER TO ALWAYS BACK A NANO BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING
alright!!!
thanks man!!!
Damn! these forums are very helpful!<3

what recovery are you using?
you might try a different rom (regawmod is my daily)
idkwtf your talking about theres a billion themes for 1.5
ohh, and fyi, its 2.1, not 2.0
lol where can i find them?!?!
umm..im a noob at this just started yesterday with this root ****..i thought i was tight **** when i figure to get free apps with APK hahah now im moving on to this
um..recovery im using Freshkitchen..in my sd card recovery is
recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2?!?! lol
lend me some links for the 1.5 lol plz and thanks i cant find any..
Recovery would be the place you get to when you press and hold home+power at the same time.
And you should be flashing a rom from that.
ooo so when im pressin home and turn on its that green and black screen i get? aight aight i see
well thats it i guess lol its whatever is stock to Fresh Kitchen i guess.
Download DamageControl http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656690. It will be in the very first post.. Boot into recovery.. POWER DOWN....HOLD DOWN HOME+POWER...
Follow the steps someone already said. It just sounds like its a bad download. If you look at the ROM Wiki and scroll down to 2.1 ROMs. There are all the ROMs on this forum.
Also never, ever try to flash anything made for GSM...Always make sure it is for CDMA---Sprint. If you do you phone is screwed.
And like everyone else says Nandroid is your best friend..Well, next to this website.
The only problem with that link is when i click download its taking a while to load then it says connection has timed out..
for the love of god and all that is holy stay in these forums.
do not go searching other places for ROMs.
Why do I say this? Because there is a GSM version of the hero and if you flash a GSM rom then you will fry your phone.
I don't want to see you back here in a a week and be like... "HELP! so yeah, I flashed a rom on my hero and it won't turn on. lol. how can I fix it?"
I will save you the trouble of starting a thread. You won't be able to fix it.
Now that I am enjoying my first ROM, I am getting ready to re-wipe and flash in my second ROM attempt as I taste some different flavors of new OS. My question is, will I lose the contents of my SD on a rewipe? Even more in detail, will I lose apps that I was able to save to SD with my current ROM?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Just make a back up of ur SD to ur PC and u should b fine and if ur apps are on ur SD already then no you won't loose them the only way to completely wipe ur SD card is by formatting it via PC or recovery or in the os itself under SD/ card & phone storage and u have to remember the apps u choose to install to the SD from within the rom on a full system and data wipe yes they will b deleted if you have them backed up threw a program like titanium back up on ur SD then full wipe or not they will b on ur SD and if your asking can u flash a different rom and still have the apps you have on your current rom show up without installing them again then no hope this helps good luck

Hi all!!
Basically, i got my GF a Omnia 7, as she liked the look of WM7 on my mozart, and im not up to scratch at all with hot things are done with the Omnia 7, basically.
The thing broke.... when she phones people she cant her them and they cant hear her.
i thought sticking mango on it would give it a nice fresh start and maybe fix the problem, but i shouldn't have haha as it didn't, and now i have to revert it back to get it replaced from where i got it from! lol
So, could anyone tell me if its possible to revert back to Nodo somehow, and how to do so?
Cheers

:edit:
Also, i know when updating i should have backed up the backup file... but i didnt... does this get removed once i have updated? or is it still there for me to "restore" from?

If you used the Mango4all tool then it should have created a backup during the install process. Check on your computer for c:\premangostate.
If you have this folder then theres a good chance you have a backup. Just check the folder size - it should be usually around 4GB but can be bigger.
If you have this then you should be able to restore it. The Mango4all tool has a restore.bat, just run that and away you go.
If you got Mango some other way then im not sure :/
