[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
I appreciate your concern as much as I am thankful to the Forum members who patiently helped me, in particular Frandrey who really took me step by step to understand the upgrading of a cell phone:). And I realize I have still a long way to go:eek:.

I can assure you that I have installed, uninstalled, and re-installed EZGingerbread 3 times already after reading, re-reading, and re-re-reading EzTerry post:confused:.

I have also did that 2 times with Froyobylaszlo and Frayo;).

Right now I have installed cm 6.1.0 RC1-DS-2708port and the apps:D.

If I brick this G1 I will throw it to Windows which alienated me and prevented me to learn and use the non-graphical side of Ubuntu:rolleyes:.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Yes I've told you a few times that 1.33.0013d doesn't support fastboot flash:P

You could have flashed engineering spl from recovery then done the fastboot flash radio, but that's pointless since either way you'd have to use recovery

Or you coulda restarted with 1.0:D

Just do it the recovery way for now

Ezterry put safety checks on the zip
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
You can also flash the orange-...nbh using fastboot to get an engineering spl. From there you can flash the recovery / radio / spl you want. This is what I wanted to tell you by writing "readying Terry's 2708 thread". It's everything written there ... reading might help you. :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
good point anddisa - i had to use the orange.nbh once a ways back because i lost recovery when flashing once (my own stupidity) a great option!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Ah yes I forgot about that one:P
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
Andisa is right but I neglected it due to a lapse in my concentration.:o

Anyway I would like to go with your suggestion in Post#164 " you coulda restarted with 1.0 ".:D

Right now I have Froyobylaszlo.:cool:

Bootloader shows:

PVT 32B S-on

HBOOT-1.33.0013d

Radio-2.22.28.25

Recovery is Amon_Ra v1.7.0

Speaking about recovery and thinking about future "toying" of G1 what is the 1st choice between Amon_Ra and ClockwordMod?:confused:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Amon_Ra is more supported and tested on the G1 I guess

CWM isn't made really with the G1 in mind

Correct me someone if I'm wrong

Ok so the easy way with the orange image?

Or the hard way with dreaimg?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
The hard way. I want to learn, not just how to press the trackball.:D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Dream:_Rooting

You pretty much start there and work your way up to the 2708+ thread

This time though replace the radio with the new one when it asks you to flash radio

You can also try a few non-2708+ ROMs

Take a look in G1 Development for ROMs to try
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Dream:_Rooting

I started with the rooting.

This is where I am:

Amon_ra recovery

HBOOT-0.95.0000

Radio-2.22.23.02.

I wanted to "fastboot" spl1.33.2005.

I downloaded the file and extracted the image :hboot.

I copied hboot to the adb folder (in android-sdk-windows>platform-tools).

I cannot enter the fastboot mode on the phone. When I press camera+power I get the colored bars and the Hboot and Radio #s.:eek:

I could not figure out what I did wrong.:confused:

Any idea?:)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
i dont think that 0.95.0000 supports fastboot flash

you need to do this through a zip file through recovery
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
You are right. I realized it when I reviewed some previous instructions provided by Frankdrey.

I went through Recovery for Hboot and Radio.

Now fastboot shows:

Hboot-1.33.2005

Radio-2.22.28.25.

But it shows " S-OFF " . I thought it would be S-ON.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
1.33.2005 is S-OFF

That means that you can write to system partitions and flash unsigned stuff

S-ON on the dream isn't any more limiting though. The dream is a very...unlocked device these days:P

Doesn't matter though really...continue

Unless you are being curious, then read this: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...on-htc-android-phones-with-unrevoked-forever/

But as you can see we can still remount /system as writable on the dream

I'm guessing with 1.33.0013d (which is S-ON), that is why fastboot flash doesnt work. Because it checks for signature.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
I did everything by the book. Twice.

I try to install EZGinger then Froyo.

In both sequences I am stuck on the G1 window. Nothing else.

I have Hboot-1.33.2005 and Radio-2.22.23.02.:confused:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
What happened to your G1?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
if your going to use ezgingerbread (or just about any rom for that matter) make sure you have the 2708+ updates. yes many roms will work just fine with your current radio\spl but some wont at all, and the ones that do work better with the latest radio\spl. i know you once had these, do it again, do all your wipes, reflash rom and im sure you will be sitting pretty again!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Yep, you forgot about the 2708+ radio and spl :P

Make sure when flashing the ROM you check the radio and spl requirements

For the 1.33.2005/2.22.23.02 you can use ROMs such as Biffmod, NonSense, SuperD, SuperCSDI and a few more.

All the newer ROMs use the new 2708+ kernel with 1.33.0013d and that one radio :D

Parents took it away :(

For absolutely no reason :mad: :confused:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
The post by Demkantor helped me also greatly.

I decided to go back to 1.33.0013d and 2.22.28.25.

I did it through Fastboot:) in order to avoid any risk of brick;).

I hope you will get back your G1 very soon.

It is always better to have parents and no G1 than the other way around:D

Is there a widget that pulls Facebook.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] seventyfivein:
There is a way around - syncing facebook birthdays/events to your google calendar. When your phone calendar syncs with google calendar, all facebook events/birthdays will display on phone calendar widget.

Its pretty simple - just follow the instructions in the link below :

http://techbu.com/2011/02/04/how-tosync-facebook-birthdays-with-google-calendar

For me, the webcal link could not be copied in google calendar url field, had to manually key it in.

Alternatively, you can use a utility called ebobirthday which is downloadable from the market.

Hope this helps. Cheers !

[Kindle Fire General] lucien12:
hello still bricked

windows 7

kindle 6.2.1 rooted but unable to boot any more

the logo flashes with a "normal" usb card and no boot

the logo is permanent with a "factory usb cable" i made, and still no boot

1. I turn off the KF

2. i plug the factory usb to the back of the pc

3. light green

4. logo permanent

5. no boot

6. not recognised by the Pc : unknown device, so impossible to communicate via KFU or fastboot or anything else

7. when i take the normal cable (after switching ff/on the KF), it can communicate with PC, i have the good driver. ok with ADB, but no fastboot permitted, i think i have a problem of folder permissions....

and now i don't know what to do...maybe another cable !

after several tries, sometimes i can see the adb driver when i plug my factory usb cable.

but impossible to change driver !

it says error code 10, "ce périphérique ne peut pad démarrer"

it seems i'm not so far from solution

can someone help me to get rid of that error code 10 ?

of course i already tried to remove the drivers and install new one, but without any result.

the driver i use are from KFU 9.1

they work with normal usb cable, but only with ADB, no fastboot...

thanks for your help !

jluc:)
[Kindle Fire General] lucien12:
something strange :

i plug the factory cable

i switch off kindle

i switch on kindle

first unknown device

i just plug out and in mini usb

then it is recognised as android adb interface

but that's all

i tried KFU 9.1 and it is offline ???

very very strange

i also see the kindle in "peripheriques et imprimantes"

what do this means ???

can you help

is it a problem with the cable or something else ??

thanks

C'est à se moment qu'il faut que tu installe les vrai drivers en fesant ''mettre à jour''
[Kindle Fire General] Misune:
Read the rules:

4. Use the English language.

Translated the best I could.

"It makes the time that you must install the drivers by causing true ''update''."
[Kindle Fire General] Fifcic:
better translation

Actually the correct translation would be:

It is at this point that you have to install the real driver by using "update"
[Kindle Fire General] ialv_88:
Same happen to me.. It seems there's something wrong with the drivers, erase all the drivers.. Install again and I add this line to adb_usb "0x18d1".. Now on you should be able to see how your device is recognized on device manager.. Then in cmd "fastboot devices" isn't showing anything go ahead and with fastboot boot, push twrp... This working to me with my factory cable... Let me know if this is working for you.. I pass 8 hours before i can fix this.. Sorry for my English..
[Kindle Fire General] lucien12:
yes but what drivers ?

i use the drivers provided in kindle fire utility V9.1, should i use other drivers ???

excuse me if sometimes i write in french ! but i make my best and as it is an anglo saxon forum, i use english, hopefully nos amis quebecois sont là !!!

thanks a lot !

do you have android sdk? o are you using just kindle fire utility?
[Kindle Fire General] lucien12:
hello

i have android SDK and KFU 9.1

i can use them with wy "normal cable"

but there is a problem of brick (i think permission folders have changed after a general error, all the windows closed and KF never reboot..)

i can't solve the brick with adk

so i made a factory cable

i plug the KF with usb factory cable in the PC (i'm under windows 7)

KF switched OFF

KF switched on (still with USB factory cable)

then i plug out and in the cable and the KF is recognised by windows as adb android, but impossible to use it under KF or fasboot or anything else.

if i unplug and plug again it isn't recognised any more...very strange

And i m using the drivers given in KFU 9.1

should i use other drivers ?

do you have an idear ?

thanks

hello

driver installed, but using the standr usb cable

after rebooting with the factory cable + unplu + plug, KF recognised but nothing changes.

still impossible to use fastboot or adb

i also tried the solution of ialv_88 but nothing

error at the second line of command

i really don't see what to do...

thanks anyway

[Kindle Fire General] b63:
hello luc - if kf is recognized that is good - you shoud be in fastboot mode - adb is not working in this mode

you can test it:

fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

it should return "kindle"

now you have to install twrp and restore the system

have found a guide:

[Kindle Fire General] jonas3d:
I also created a factory reset cable, and it kept giving me error code 10 also. I wonder if something is wrong with the cable? The program from: ialv_88 worked like a charm though.

Just have to make sure to run chmod. If you don't change the permissions it doesn't work.

adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/fbmode

adb shell /data/local/tmp/fbmode

adb reboot

I used this along with Kindle fire utility. When it rebooted, I flashed TWRP, from there I installed the 2.6.1 update.zip and rerooted it.
[Kindle Fire General] ialv_88:
once its recognized on device manager, maybe on fastboot devices shows anything, but try to push fastboot boot twrp.img .... dont use kindle fire utility... put twrp.img on platform-tools and from cmd put, fastboot boot twrp.img
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
with fastboot boot twrp.img he loads it only till the next reboot ? this is good to test but then he should do fastboot flash twrp.img

please correct me if i'm wrong
[Kindle Fire General] ialv_88:
you right b63 this is just for testing... then you should flash it .. fastboot flash twrp.img ... then you mount sd and install rom from twrp..

no you did not - dont worry - you have a driver issue - kfu is ok - use 9.1 but dont use their drivers - give you working ones

use from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20855280&postcount=54

once connected again use kfu select 1 and set bootmode to normal
[Kindle Fire General] chacaldecg:
I've done it .. may be using the cable that is faulty, I'll try later with another cable because everything I did not work

Certainly a problem with the cable
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
just to be shure : for your problem you don't need a factory cable

simply use your standard cable - what i wrote will not work with a factory cable

if you don't trust the kfu or can't get it running you can do it manually depending on the current bootmode of the kf:

open an (elevated) command prompt in the tools directory of kfu (you Path\Kindle Fire Utility\tools)

with adb:

test connection with "adb devices" - should look like:

C:\Programme\Android\Kindle Fire Utility\tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
6AB2002600000001 device

then do the following commands (assuming you have su installed):

adb shell su -c "idme bootmode 4000"

adb reboot

with fastboot:

you can test it with:

fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

it should return "kindle"

if it stays on < waiting for device > then fastboot is currenty not avilable (the kf is not in fastboot mode) - simply stop it with ctrl-c

if it returns "kindle" then do the following commands:

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

fastboot reboot

Is SUPERCID always required if you want to flash a ROM?

I have a sim free UK XE, unrooted etc. I haven't felt the need to root/unlock/flash just yet, but no doubt it's just a matter of time before I do. One thing that puzzles me is SUPERCID, is it always a requirement to enable the freedom to flash ROMs, even with a sim free phone?

No it's not required.. It's only required when flashing a different region RUU... It has no role for custom roms

I'm curious if anyone that has moved from an Evo 4G to an Evo 3D has a used, rooted Evo 4G that gets good battery life that they might want to sell at a ressonable price.

My wife and I both got early, pre-ordered Evo's from one of the lots that just gets crappy battery life no matter what. April's not that far away, but at the right price I'd replace my wife's now. She has an extended battery (3500 mAh) and gets less than many of our friends do with the stock battery, and the stock battery is far worse.

Any ROM can achieve amazing battery life, just make sure you have setCPU and under clock the CPU. I get 5 days on minimal use on my 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] blizzard1017:
I would love to challenge this. I'm not calling BS because well, I don't know you and I just don't really do that but I DO want to know what type of usage you are doing. In my experience I can get a few days if I just pop on to text and check emails but not with anything past medium to heavy usage.

As for the 4G, YMMV so just read up on it. I agree CM plus custom kernel I probably got the best battery I have ever gotten on a phone period but everything past build 150 that started to decline. Sense based Roms I would suggest anything in the 2.1/3.0 hybrid family plus chop suey kernel. The 3.0 and 3.5 just never really ran right for an extended period for me and the battery was really quirky. Also, most of the 3.0 to 3.5 features were not really available in full form so it was kind of pointless.

I migrated at the beginning of the ICS releases so I would also check into those. I sometimes float back and they are FAR more advanced than we are right now.
