[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeng28:
Thank you very much.

My phone is rooted with 1.5 Android on it. I did follow someone's instruction on xda to hard reset successfully. It asked for the activation. But since i want to flash a new rom I'm not sure whether i have to activate it first or just flash the new rom?

Also, what is the different between Hboot and HSPL ? Some rom's thread said it require hboot but is it the same with my current rom?

There're so many abbreviate words -.-'

About my G1, I'm not sure what is the different between US or the other. But on the top front of it has "T-Mobile" branding print on it. on the back there is the words "with Google" when boot with Sim card it can change 2 languages "English" and "Spanish"

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cripgballerkundikusu11:
okay, you have the us version. give me a link of a rom you want to flash and i will tell you what to do. hboot and spl are the same thing. by activate do you mean the setup screen where it says touch the android? If you have a data plan just sign into your google account easy. if not and you have an sd card reader, download the rom (from your computer) and put it on the sdcard. still on the setup screen boot into recovery and flash. Reply with more description and i will try to help.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeng28:
Thank again.

Here is the rom I want to flash.

I have sd-card reader, so i will go for the copy to card method. :)

Thank you for your kindness.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cripgballerkundikusu11:
ok, download the rom first. this rom requires one of the radios in this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139 (I use 28.25)

For the spl use the one i provided in my first post hboot0013d.

once you have downloaded them onto your pc put them on the sdcard. Is your sd card already partitioned? and what recovery are you using? clockworkmod or amon ra or stock. to check hold home and power at the same time while the phone is off and look at the text near the bottom of the entire screen.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeng28:
Hi, Thanks again,

I did partition my card, Fat32,Ext3,Swap

but with the Home + Power boot i can see the yellow alert on the screen. No text at all. So i press Alt-L to view Log and here is what i see.

"Android system recovery utility

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/com

mand

Home+Back - reboot system now

Alt+L - toggle log text display

Alt+S - apply sdcard:update.zip

Alt+W - wipe data/factory reset"

and the background is the warning

Also, Here is the information from "About Phone" menu in settings

Model number : T-Mobile G1

Firmware version : 1.5

Baseband version : 62.33.20.08H_1.22.12.29

Kernel version :

if you have wifi or data plan, go to the market and search for rom manager.

When you open the app it says flash clockworkmod recovery. scroll down to where it says flash alternate recovery, ra recovery 1.7.0. click on that. now you have a rooted recovery. SO if you downloaded froyobylaszlo, and radio 2708 or 2825, and hboot0013d and put them on your sdcard, you should now be able to flash them. hold home + power and you will see a new menu. scroll down

to the wipe part and wipe everything. Then scroll to flash zip from sdcard and click the radio. it will take a while and reeboot into a different screen. when it comes back to recovery, flash the hboot and it will do the same thing but it will take way shorter amount of time. then wipe everything again and flash rom. after you reeboot it will take about 5-15 minutes to get to the setup screen. if you had apps before you wiped and want to back them up, use titanium backup on the market. then when you set up your new rom, just install titanium backup and restore from there:D

So i download directly on my computer and try to installed it via file manager but it saids 'clockwork can't install on this device'.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremealok:
see...ur radio is outdated for ur android version.

u need to upgrade that...about spl(10.95.3000) i'm not really sure...will try looking for that...

but, r u rooted???

in that case u should change into amon ra recovery....

also,get a new/different sd card...format FAT32...and add all files u need into the root of the card....and if u have amon ra installed u need not change names into update.zip every now and then.....

for 1.5 android, 2.22.19.26 would be the ideal radio....

check out other topics on xda too...

u can search for what u need....

I did update RA Recovery via the terminal. I download radio from the link you mention and copy it along with your hboot but when i try to flash zip from sdcard and select radio. It always failed. It said

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeng28:
Ok. Thank you everyone especially "cripgballerkundikusu11" for providing very helpful.

I think G1 is the most difficult I've ever done. I did some on wm phone without any difficulty. I guess it because of hboot,radio varieties. So I don't know if this will help other people or not but hope it does.

Here what i did. (Thank to cripgballerkundikusu11, I made through it.)

1. I did update RA_Recover from Terminal Emulator follow the instruction from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=566669

2. Update Radio dream_magic.radio-2.22.23.02-signed.zip it restart automatically

3. Update Radio update_2.22.28.25_S.zip it will restart automatically NOTE! It will ask you to confirm because it detect something about bad HBOOT. If your device's firmware and settings everything same as mine , u may continue. else, read more/ search more for the option.

4. Update HBoot from cripgballerkundikusu11 NOTE! it won't automatically reboot. Must reboot with HOME+Back or Menu button only else it won't installed.

5. Install ROM

6. Pray hard and it works!! yeah it works i've Froyo now.

I think it lack of document on how to update radio from 1x to 2x. For myself, im very scare to force install 2.22.23.02 radio before install 2.22.28.25 but it went well. Lucky me.

Anyway, thank you all people for helping me out. Thank again "cripgballerkundikusu11" giving me a big help.

Hope this thread help other.

[Networking] AdamOutler:
I have AT&T Mark The Spot installed on my phone. It's designed to be an easy way to report problems to AT&T.

I noticed it uses excessive permissions a few months ago.... An average app having about 7 permissions... "Permission Dog" reports 21 permissions including:

Access Coarse Location

Access Fine Loacation

Access Network State

Access Wifi State

Change Wifi state

Battery Stats

Read Owner Data

Read Phone State

Wake Lock

Receive Boot Completed

Read SMS

Modify Phone State

Change Network State

Get Tasks

Read Logs

Receive WAP push

Send SMS

Persistant Activity

Vibrate

Read Contacts

Last night my phone would not go to sleep and today I received a phone call and the app force closed itself. This would suggest that there's quite a bit of monitoring that my phone is subject to by AT&T by simply having this app installed.

If you want to report a network problem, install the app, then uninstall it after reporting. I just wanted to get the word out.
[Networking] Krad:
why not load lbe privacy guard and disable most of the permissions it is asking for?
[Networking] AdamOutler:
My concern isn't how to disable it's normal operation. My concern is it's normal operation is monitoring everything. It's obviously doing alot more then it is marketed to do.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] MrPhilo:
The init.d script for GPU OC or UV doesn't work for some people. Thats including myself, I change the value and save the script but nothing changes, I use Nenamark2 to see if my fps has changed, I still get around 50fps (400Mhz)

I asked someone else whose script was working somehow and he achieved 57fps on 400mhz.

I hope you try another way just like Tegrak app to OC and UV its GPU.

I'll defiantly buy it if Siyah kernel is supported :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] petsasj:
The GPU script was a reference for the interface used.

Quite a lot of work has been put into latest branch, I dont think I want any clones floating around.

It doesnt differ much in 'getting' and 'setting' the values, so 3.x code is still very valid and working.

With the new changes and the possibility of custom frequency steps in upcoming syiah kernel 2.1... Is this app going to be updated to support those ? Because now when I change the frequency steps I can only modify them using setcpu, voltage control cant see the new values and displays only old ones. Same applies for the cpu usage screen.

I bought the premium version because of the syiah extras, so I am hoping it will be updated in the future :)

Hey XAN, great APP! im just getting to know it and im loving it so far.

I have a question. I just bought an original Samsung Power Pack.. and it turns out it doesnt have an ON/OFF charge switch... so it always charges the phone... and as you know charge/discharge cicles are limited and I dont always need the extra juice.

So I was wondering.. If you could set up the charging current down to 0. Could this stop the phone from actually chargin and the Power Pack from discharging?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xan:
The charging process is not foolish these days. Its hard to explain, but basically the controller handles this situation for you. There is lots of info floating around (there was a discussion on i9000 forum about that too, cant find it - sorry), this seems to be rather technical: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sibero80:
Thank you Xan for the link, Im giving it a thorough read in a moment.. but bottom line... do you think that it could be possible to disable charging from the phone itself?

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] TheFaixy:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] :
that does not fix the issue. it still reverts back to stock even after i do that. saves everything else apart if i want to overclock which is kinda annoying but anyway hopefully Xan will fix this...:)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ballmead:
Voltage changes and governor/scheduler changes are ok but not clock speeds.

Mine is even a bit weirder.

By default Voltage Control shows my clock speed @ 800 Mhz not 1200Mhz.

So I can't even set it to 1200Mhz without losing it after reboot??
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] TecQuality:
hey XAN really a great APP, but i've a little request: can you add something that allow us to know that the values are applied correctly after the reboot (something like nofrills or setcpu) in the status bar?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] iamsmallpang:
pls!solve (save as boot settings) ,

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] idkidk:
Hi to all,

First of all, thanks to xan for awesome app, but the latest market version return an error when try to save boot settings:

Saving failed! mkdir failed for -p, File Exists

Any ideas?

Tia

Idk
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xan:
I cant believe how fragmented android is :D

So many versions of basic binaries.

mkdir -p

should NOT complain about dir already existing (because of -p); I'll workaround that in the evening.

About verification if settings are set on boot correctly...

My goal was to create 0 resource overhead app. The apk grown much, from 19kb to over 640, but its not that important considering the functionality it offers now. However it doesnt run any services, it wont stay in memory, even widget is static - it runs only when pressed.

Kernels provide init.d interface. Its kernel devs who are responsible for running scripts properly.

Its kernel's developer work to make kernel response to sysinterface (which VC is using ) correctly.

I dont have time for such a feature - it might be nice to have - but in case kernel is working as expected its completely obsolete and unneded.

I might offer second way to apply settings, via service or something - but definitely not tomorrow ;p

[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
PLEASE NOTE: This patch addresses application force closes on newer google maps applications (5.5-5.7) running on gingerbread-based ROMs for the ERIS. This does not address reboots/restarts (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1157099 for progress on this other problem)

After extensive testing on CondemnedCM7 V15, I believe that the Navigation force closes many of us experience on the newest maps version is fixable (at least on Condemned's ROM; GSB users report that problems still remain) by rolling back google maps framework files to a version used for Android 2.2 ROMS. I have been testing since last week and have not had a single navigation force close. My longest test was 1 hour 10 mins with multiple reroutes and no force close. One known issue, Map application (not navigation) will unexpectedly close (that is, will not offer a force close but will shut down) randomly while using the search box. I have not been able to consistently reproduce this

I am attaching two zip files flashable from AmonRa Recovery if you would like to try the fix. The first replaces the current maps framework with the froyo framework. The second rolls back the change to the latest gingerbread framework.

If you are using maps 5.2 which CS included in the system apps for v15 and are happy with the result, then you do not need to flash this file. If you would like to use the newest maps app (5.7), you may wish to try this.

In theory, this fix would work on an AOSP or Cyanogen gingerbread ROM, so if folks on other devices are having similar problems, they may want to try.

Good luck everyone!

[Droid Eris General] Sir_Eagle:
Have to go get it myself.
[Droid Eris General] Sir_Eagle:
klob, will upgrading to 5.8 overwrite the fix files, or should I have run the unfix before upgrading?

Either way all I did was upgrade and so far Nav has been running for 40 minutes. Not driving anywhere, just have Nav running while I'm in the house.
