What is funny or weird is what I got when I downloaded the file.

The 1st time the downloaded file name was "iLivid" (premonition?) but the install went in a loop that I had to interrupt. I deleted it and downloaded again the file. This time the file name is "My tools". I am............livid!! Not really.

Which file is the right one?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
Unfortunately after using the nexus 1 sim card I got the same result: the phone cannot communicate with the google servers.

I did not see a 3g on my phone but the bars were going from 3 to 4 and 4 to 3 depending of my location.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
that is very strange, normally you get 3g signal on the nexus one correct?

i buy and sell phones on ebay and have put my simcard in well over 50 different phones. every time i get a signal unless the phone cant read my sim card (defective phone) if you are getting bars then sim card is being read fine.

lets just start from square one.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Dream:_Rooting

follow these steps (even if you already did do it again) this is an older way of accomplishing what you want but still easy and safe. i have used these steps oh so many times with no problems to date.

let me know if you get stuck, or once you have completed everything we are in business and ill help you get the rest of the way to an awesome gingerbread rom!:D

Click the REAL download link

Those big colorful download buttons are ads

Sorry I just have an ad blocker...I didn't know

It should be named adb.zip

ALERT!

I discovered that I got a malware which took more than 2 hours to control and get rid of it.

To add insult to injury my DSL went down to the point that a repair outside of my house has to be performed.

What a start for the new Year!

Depress me? Never...............so far!

But I still need my G1
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
I finally got back to a normal computer and a regular dsl.

I followed the procedure.

On the G1 after entering "setprop.................1 I press enter and I get a red (!) with the comment "invalid character.......".

Regarding the command prompt sequence, it found one device and when I pressed "enter" after typing "adb shell' I got a dollar sign.

At the $ I typed "am start............/ .settings" I got an "Error: Bad component name: com.android.settings/" and more stuff
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
follow up

As of today:

DREAIMG.nbh is loaded and I could "start update image".

Sign in fails but G1 shows 3 or 4 bars depending of the physical location of the phone in the house.

Sdk installation has been completed. But the microSD card is not acknowledged by the computer.

I still cannot sign in.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Ok once you get to the $ after adb shell type this:

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com. android.settings/.Settings

I think you might have included the quotes

The steps leading up to it are fine though...its supposed to say that

And about the malware sorry, I didn't know that site has spam ads-_-

And I'm so used to knowing what's real and not

Well, you need to learn a bit more....or else you won't survive on the internet:P

Or get an adblocker:D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
I did type this sequence following the adb shell and after the $ sign. It did not yield something positive.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:

There's no spaces in the last phrase thing

The settings./Settings

I think your putting a space

Just copy paste the command I put earlier....to paste in to cmd prompt rightclick>paste
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
no space "settings/.settings" gives the following:

" Error type 3

Error: Activity class <com.android.settings/com. android.settings/.settings> does not exist. "

Nota Bene: copy and paste the command from your post gives exactly the same error I reported in my previous reply.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
:confused:

Lets try this again...:D

Copy paste exactly this into the adb shell:

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings

Dont type it, copy paste it...

And if that doesn't work, then I don't know...somethings wrong with your adb/g1...? Get a sim with a reliable data plan and sign in.

I just did it on my g1 in a terminal emulator and it works, so the command is fine:S

Are you sure you don't have any other devices hooked up that you accidentally are controlling through adb instead of the g1?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
No error!

Congratulations.

Next step, please!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Ok so settings should open on the g1

Then go back and sign in!:D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
Sorry.

I forgot to say thank to you my phone is back to life.

I can call and I can receive call. I got a copy (thank sync.) of my email. My firmware version is 1.0, the build # is RC29.

How do I go, which was my initial target, from here to Gingerbread?

I know I am demanding but it would be nice to finish the job with your help.

Again, thank you very much.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Dream:_Rooting

Ok so start with "Rooting the HTC Dream"

Stop before "Flashing CyanogenMod", because you want EzGingerbread, not CyanogenMod. Make sure you don't go on to flashing CyanogenMod, or else you will waste a lot of time.

Once you get this done, I'll tell you the next steps. If anything is confusing ask and I'll try to rephrase that step in an easier way :D

By the way, I'd recommend Froyobylaszlo if you want the fastest and most stable ROM. You can try either one out. If EzGingerbread isn't to your liking, then you can flash Froyobylaszlo.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
Cannot connect to telnetd server. It says: "Error while connecting to server.Localhost/127.0.0.1:23. Connection refused".

I tried rebooting, re-installing few times.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
Telnet installed.

" error opening /sdcard/recovery.img: no such a file or directory

## "
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
cannot access anymore telnetd with the error above (connection refused).

Is there a way to bypass this sequence or another way to install the recovery?

With the actual version 1.0 I cannot install some applications from the android market like a file manager or a terminal emulator.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Ok here try doing exactly this:

1. Go to the homescreen and open the keyboard.

2. Press the enter key twice. Type

telnetd

and press enter again.

3. Contacts will open. Close it and open the telnet app.

4. Usually the information is already in there. If not make sure the leftmost large box says

localhost

and the rightmost small box says 23. Press enter.

5. Plug the phone into the computer. Download this: recovery.img

-note: your first try probably failed because windows renamed it to recovery.img.img instead of recovery.img , because windows hides most extensions, but this file is renamed alright

6. Copy the "recovery.img" into the folder with adb that you had from earlier, and open the command prompt again in the folder.

7. Type

adb push recovery.img /sdcard/

8. Once its done, unplug the phone, and open telnet again if not open. Make sure its past the screen with the two big and small boxes. Press enter if it isn't.

9. Type

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

10. ## will show when it's done.

There you go. You now have Amon_Ra Recovery! :D

After you are done, theres something I need you to check.

Turn off the phone and boot into fastboot by holding camera and power.

Post what is written on the top. I'm looking specifically for SPL or hboot.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
I am continuing my own Stations of the Cross path.

Thanks again to help me.

Fastboot shows the following:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
If its a ! Then you didn't install amon ra

Try again with my steps
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Ok then do the radio update

I'm not sure if its an extra step, but let's just be safe...your gonna flash another radio update later
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
In the wiki guide I am using (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Dream:_Rooting) I try to flash the Radio but I still get the triangle and the(!) when pressing Home & Power keys.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Yes you didn't install custom recovery properly

Go back to my post with all those telnet steps and do that again. The one that starts with going to the homescreen

Wait are you on the xda app or tapatalk? Because I see that the code tags aren't working on the app. If you aren't then just...go ahead, never mind. Do the telnet stuff again.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
I tried several times and it failed every time.

Right now Telnet has disappeared and the browser on the cell phone " web page unavailable ".

Every step I take is not an immediate success. Some steps are a failure like I am not capable of making a goldcard or flash some programs. I think that I follow the required steps and it's a failure on my side. Did I do something wrong to the phone?

Do you think there is a way to start all over, differently or not, or am I stuck with the actual path?

In the mean time I will keep trying!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
it will be very hard to go much further without flashing the custom recovery.

if telnet disappeared then you need it back, try to reinstall in market.

did you say that "web page unavailable" comes up with phone browser?

this sounds like you lost your wifi connection.

if you get everything back make sure you name your file recovery, not recovery.img

like frank said windows automatically puts the .img at the end of this file
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Yes I was going to say exactly what he said:D

And the renaming isn't necassary anymore, I put a link in my steps with it already renamed
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
Yesterday night I posted a reply which obviously did not go through. My apology.

I could get the browser on G1. I already corrected the recovery file without the .img extension. But no telnet.

This morning I got telnet and the ## show.

But rebooting in recovery (Home+Power) I still get the triangle and the (!).

maybe recovery was not properly installed. I could not repeat because now Telnet refuses the connection!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
Two questions.

First: pressing Home+Power brings G1 to a triangle.

Alt+L shows at the top of the screen the message " E: cannot open /cache/recovery/command ".

Is it the way it should always be?

Alt+S gives you the message " E: can't open sd card/update.zip

(no such file or directory)

installation aborted "

Is it the way it should always show this answer?

Second: can I unroot my G1 and get it back to Donut (version 1.6).

If yes, how to do it?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Wait wait wait

Man...do those steps I posted earlier...

The steps that start with go to your home screen

They are not difficult. Follow them EXACTLY.

And stop barging around on your own.

Stop making goldcards. You don't need one.

Don't flash random stuff. Only what we tell you
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Recovery is not properly installed

Look at post above
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
Just asking. I mean it.

I do not give up easily even and mainly when I am tempted.

I want to make it up to Gingerbread but sometimes you become tired and you need some mental rest.

So far no connection to Telnet.

I will try to figure out.

I continue to appreciate very much your help. No doubt in my mind.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
By the way, sorry I forgot to ask, what are the spaces starting at recovery /sdcard/ up to .img?

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Hmm try uninstall, do the "telnetd" thing on home screen, and reinstall

telnet.

What you typed is right....what do you mean by spaces?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
Never mind the spaces.

I got telnet. I flashed recovery and telnet gave me ##.

I boot in recovery and no more triangle.

I scrolled to flash zip from sdcard and then chose zip from sd card.

I think I was a bit fast and I selected reboot system now.

came a box with an arrow showing a green droid.

Right now for the last 10 minutes - or so - the bottom of the scree shows in white letters " Build: RA-ream-v1.7.0

It seems long.

What should I do
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
I am writing a diary.

The new Radio is installed. I checked through Camera+Power keys.

I got what I put on the sd card: Radio; 2.22.19.26I which was, by the way the radio I had before embarking myself for this very interesting journey.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
cannot install cm6. sd card not recognized by the computer.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Follow these steps:

Be a bit careful...

1. Download the following: http://www.mediafire.com/?1wlo81azimsufyu Remember be careful. The green "Download (13.19 MB)" under the 2708kernel.zip and the zipped file picture is the correct link.

2. Extract it to your adb and fastboot folder

3. Turn off your phone and plug it in. On your phone enter fastboot mode by doing camera+power. Then it will scan for DREAMIMG.nbh. you should probably delete it off the SD before doing this so you don't waste time. Press the back button to enter fastboot.

4. Open the command prompt and do the following commands one by one:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img
fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.27.08.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.0013d.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

5. Your bootloader/spl/hboot should now be 1.33.0013d

6. Do the following commands:

fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot

7. There you go! Now reboot into recovery and we'll install EzGingerBread next.

Or make a decision. You can do either Froyobylaszlo or EzGingerBread.

Tell me which one.

If EzGingerbread, do you want extra languages such as Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Greek, Finnish, Hungarian, Dutch, Slovak, Serbian, Swedish, Tagalog, Turkish, Ukrainian?

Do you want Zeam Launcher? People say it is faster and smaller?

---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

You should in recovery do USB-MS toggle to make the sd card be recognized

But lets continue. I put instructions for the 2708+ kernel
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:

How big is your SD card? And what class?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
One is a 4GB PNY and the other is a1GB Scandisk
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
My mistake: the 4GB is a microSD HC. The other has no class if I may say so! It is just a 1GB microSD.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Ok well choose which one you want to use and make sure you don't switch them

I'd recommend ~160mb swap and ext...well depends on how many apps you want

512mb should be enough for many apps. And keep in mind that the bigger the other partitions the more will be taken away from the SD's PC viewable space used for music, etc.

Partition by going into recovery. This will wipe the sd, so back anything important up to your computer.

Go into partitionsd>partitionsd

Choose your amounts.

Upgrade ext2>ext3

Upgrade ext3>ext4

Go back and to wipe>wipe sd-ext

go back to partitionsd>repair sd-ext

Ok now go find the FroyobyLaszlo thread in G1 development and download it.

Connect your phone to the PC and copy the file to the root of the SD by doing USB-MS toggle first.

Now unplug and disable USB-MS.

Go to "flash zip from sd" and flash it! :D

Once its done reboot and wait for it to load up.

Set it up according to onscreen instructions.(warning: if you choose to enable backup it may install every app you have ever downloaded with your account) Do "skip" for google account if you don't have data.

Then go to settings and set up your wifi (if needed), sign in to google by going to accounts (warning again: if you choose to enable backup it may install every app you have ever downloaded with your account). Now go to extras.

Turn on the following settings for best performance:

application settings > allow moving

application settings > install location > sd-ext

performance > swap

performance > lock home in memory

user interface > tweaks extra > reset ui tweaks (because for some reason the clock at the top is black by default:P)

Now reboot!

And there you are! Enjoy :D

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 PM ----------

The 4gb may be faster.

Remember, you can't switch them later on, or else all your apps on the sd-ext will disappear
