[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Gapps comes with froyobylaszlo

Sounds like you installed a different rom

You must wipe before installing froyobylaszlo

Don't forget

In recovery do all the wipe options

It'd be a lot better if you did a super wipe...

But...*sigh* that would take more explaining

You shouldn't have went ahead and flashed froyo for dream

Froyobylaszlo is different

Here's the download

http://code.google.com/p/l-rom/downloads/detail?name=froyobylaszlo-5.2.zip&can=2&q=
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
I found it and downloaded it. I am working on it.

Gapps?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
What do you mean gapps?

Froyobylaszlo comes with market...

Gmail and youtube can be gotten from the market...

The applications and performance things are in extras in settings
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
It's been 10 minutes that the phone tries to communicate with google servers.

Do you think I should wipe out everything in recovery mode (before copying the rom on the sd I reformatted the card) and start all over the installation? or do I continue without signing now?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
If you are connected to wifi and it is not working then try wipe and start over flashing froyobylaszlo

If not, then skip sign in, connect to wifi, then sign in and continue with the settings I said to set in extras (settings>extras)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Wait are you SURE you flashed froyobylaszlo?

It really sounds like you flashed dreamteam froyo
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
I am sure because after the download I checked with md5sum and it gave me a "matched".

Besides reformatting the sd card what do I wipe besides SD:ext.partition? I have "wipe data/factory reset" , "wipe cache", "wipe Dalvik-cache", "wipe battery stats", and "wipe rotate settings".

I am ready!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
That sounds good. Now did you partition your sd card earlier? Upgraded ext2>3>4?

If yes, then copy the froyobylaszlo zip and flash it.

Then reboot and once you get to setup skip sign in.

Go turn on wifi and then sign in by going to accounts.

After that do the following:

Settings>Extras>Application Settings>Enable moving

Settings>Extras>Application Settings>Install Location>sd-ext

Settings>Extras>Performance Settings>Swap

Settings>Extras>Performance Settings>Lock Home in Memory

Settings>Extras>User Interface>Tweaks Extra>Reset UI Tweaks

Reboot!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
I cannot sign in. I cannot turn on wi-fi but I can go to wireless settings where there is nothing I can do.

What can I wipe and what I cannot wipe in order to start all over?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Huh...im confused...did you reflash it or not?

And all the way from 1.0!?

You probably should do a superwipe...look it up and download it and flash it...it should wipe everything...but you still will have the kernel...so you can just go ahead and flash froyobylaszlo again
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
The confusion happened because I did not express myself correctly.

I meant do I erase the sd partitions and the rom (froyo). Do I do a data factory reset?

In short I was thinking about starting all over from the adb and fastboot performed successfully according to your Post (post #84).

Or do I still go with your suggestion of a superwipe? How I do a superwipe and when you say it should wipe everything, what will be left and where from I start?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
After searching and reading I found and install superwipe.

After signing in I did all the extras in "settings".

How can I thank you? Do I thank you for your help and your expertise? Or do I thank you for your patience with me? Or do I thank you for forgiving my numerous mistakes and/or blunders.

For all of this, thank you very, very much.

Thank you also for opening my eyes and my mind to a new world.

My thanks go also to the Forum members who show an interest to my questions and offer their own knowledge.

We are not yet done!

I have some questions but just a few for today:

i) if I want to change the rom - either to go back to the unroot phone I had before coming to this utmost interesting forum - or install a Gingerbread flavor where are the guidelines for such an action?

ii) is Rom-Manager an application for me?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Your welcome:P

1) if you want to install ezgingerbread (or any other rom that works with 2708+ kernel) you all you need to do is a superwipe and flash the rom...and possibly partition the sd

The rom instructions should tell you all the requirements (radio...spl...ext...etc.)

If you want to install a ROM that needs a different radio/spl...well...its a bit complex so if you ever do just ask...i recently did it because i am jumping roms...and it blocks off recovery as you are reflashing the radios so it might be a bit scary...or you can restart with the DREAIMG.NBH if anything:P

2) i dont recommend it...it forces clockworkmod recovery on you which is not very good for the g1...and the only decent rom on it is ezgingerbread...but that you can easily install without rom manager...and then you wont risk anything...

In short...i really dont recommend it...manual is always better:D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
Thanks for the reply.

I hope I do not get a virus. I mean the virus of toying G1 with # roms. Sooner or later G1 will be the toy for experimenting. For now I want to use it daily (this is my only phone after all).

In case I need a new spl how I upgrade safely? I mean what is the procedure to perform the replacement? I know that I want to see how Gingerbread looks on my phone.

And I know that I am tempted by ICS (Android 4.0........) to see how does it perform because I am thinking about an unlocked Galaxy Nexus.

OK, I will not go for Rom-Manager.

I like very much Froyo. I have 2 light questions about it.

How to get rid - if a solution exists - of the 1st window ( T Mobile - G1) and then the green wallpaper of Froyo which appears when one is connected and ready to use the phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
You shouldn't get a virus...don't download fishy apps and your fine:D...and the superuser app protects you...if a superuser request ever pops up and you don't know what its for just press no

Gingerbread doesn't need a different spl...you have all the requirements for ezgingerbread...

If you ever want to change spls...well ask when you NEED it...I don't want you to brick your phone...you don't need it for gingerbread

ICS will be too slow and buggy on the G1 for you to see how it performs:P

You can't get rid of the Tmobile G1 screen...its a part of the radio...nothing to do with the ROM

You can(but DON'T) flash a rogers radio and change it to rogers, but then you will have a brick (broken phone:D)...with a rogers logo

To change the wallpaper:

Go to the homescreen and press and hold the screen until a menu pops up...go to wallpapers then wallpapers again I think

Choose.

If you don't like any there, download one of the many wallpaper apps on the market
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
I am discovering Froyo and I have to say that I like it very much so far.

One question is the lag to go and come back from portrait to landscape'

I will try, soon, Gingerbread. Do I have to perform a superwipe to remove Froyo and install Gingerbread and superwipe again to go back to Froyo. Or do I have to do something else?

No rush. Thank to you, I am more relax.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Hmm...I don't like the lag either...but its one of the cons of having a G1...believe me, its a lot worse in some other ROMs

I just turn off the rotation sensor...I have a toggle in my power widgets thing in the notifications pull down...look for it in User Interface settings.

Or you can try different launchers, but I find there aren't any better ones than launcherpro, the one that comes with froyobylaszlo

And yes...superwipes is best...every time I flash a different ROM I do a superwipe then I wipe all the options in recovery

If you want to keep the apps you can back them up to your sd with titanium backup

and by the way when you wipe sd-ext in recovery you should also do repair ext

Enjoy! G1s are very fun to ROM jump on:D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
Thanks for your answer.

I already use Titanium backup for a full backup.

Talking about backup is Nand a reliable step for backing up?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Not sure. When I used it my sd-ext apps got messed up. So might not be so good...

Maybe I just got unlucky.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
There is a nandroid+ext script which is backing up also your /sd-ext partition or you can use 'bart', which is almost the same as nandroid+ext, but you can name your backups. I am using it since the beginning and when I got into a mess, it was always my fault.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Yes I was using "nandroid + ext" in amon_ra recovery

After restore, the apps were all there...but I had like 1gb of free unusable space

All the free space became unusable
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
That's very strange, because when backing up the ext-partition it is stored as a tar and when restoring, all files on /sd-ext will be erased and the tar will be expanded to /sd-ext. If you got problems, I don't can imagine it was the fault of nandroid.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Yeah I probably got unlucky
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
I noticed, by unchecking "270 degres" in "Extras - User Interface - Accelerometer rotation" there is far less lag.

Or is it my imagination?

I have read extensively since my last post and Froyo is getting, it seems justified in my opinion, great marks.

I feel that I will stay with Froyo but I want to go and try EZ.

I want to be sure that I can go back to Froyo without having to start back from DREAIM.nbh! Because I have read some horror stories regarding Titanium.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Nice I think it is a bit faster

Make many backups just to be safe

Make titanium, nandroid+ext, and bart

When you do titanium backups make sure you also backup data...you may have to turn it on in settings

I'm running off a bart backup and it works perfect

So do a superwipe and wipe+repair sd-ext before you flash a new rom....and also before you restore a backup

So make all those backups...and superwipe, wipe sd-ext, and repair sd-ext

DO NOT PARTITION SD...you'll lose the backups and other stuff:P

Flash ezgingerbread according to the instructions on its page

Then when...and if... you go back to froyo....superwipe, wipe sd-ext, repair sd-ext

Oh but you should try my froyobylaszlo mod...its called Frayo:D

You can customize the install...so you can choose to install only what you need

Follow the instructions in the link in my signature

Once you install it...or froyobylaszlo if you don't want to try frayo...set up all the application and performance settings (use the frayo instructions look at recommended settings...they work for both)...and enjoy

Oh yes restore the titanium backups after installing the rom...restore app+data

If they don't work ill tell you how to restore nandroid...or bart
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Watching your "currently viewing" in your profile it looks like you are trying to flash the 2708+ radio/spl

You already have it....you can skip that step
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
What I did was to download the 4 files (Rom-Kernel+Gapps+gprs patch+Zeam) from EZ to my computer. I have no intention to modify, for the moment, the SPL and Radio which I already have as you say. I might not install Zeam now.

I will certainly go back to Froyo after toying with Gingerbread. And since I like to try, I will later on put Frayo, your mod, on my G1.

But right now I continue to read and learn. I will probably try EZ this week end. I will let you know, or rather, I'll yell for help and you will know!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Alright

By the way.

A word of wisdom...

Never flash an spl or radio from recovery again...use fastboot:D

Read my story in g1 general later when I post it:P
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
I went to G1 General to read your story.

Well, I feel pretty lucky that I did not brick my phone.

I have to really learn how to use fastboot, for every "toying", in a relax mood.

My actual comment to your story?

This is America, a Dream comes true!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
:P

Yeah if you follow directions you won't brick anything

I just decided to take a chance on flashing the spl:D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
Right now I am on EZ.

I have downloaded and installed (everything was done through recovery) Gapps and the patch: I have far, far less apps than in Froyo. I have to go to the market: no big deal but a little disappointment.

Next, going to Frayo.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Frayo let's you choose what apps to install :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
That's why, among other things, I won't stay long.

When I come back to Froyo, do I superwipe and reinstall Froyobylaszlo or do I use, directly from recovery, bart or from the sd card nandroid or titanium?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Yes superwipe

Wipe sd-ext

Repair sd-ext

And if you want to go back to froyobylaszlo restore probably bart in recovery, since it worked perfect for me

But if you want frayo, superwipe, wipe sdext, repair sdext

Install it according to instructions in my sig link

Then install titanium and restore your apps

Remember, do not do any partitioning...it will delete your backups
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
why? If you do a nand+ext or bart restore everything is in the same state as you did the backup.

Another hint: learn to use fastboot ... ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
I am eagerly ready to learn.

Where is the teacher?!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
I was talking about if he wanted to use Frayo, my froyobylaszlo mod
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
I just install Frayo.

Of course after superwipe I forgot to wipe! Now, I need a text editor from the market.

So far, so good. I cannot complain about Frayo!! Thank you again.

As soon as I turned it on my new email came on!

I look stupid but what do I need to do if I want to restore apps from Titanium? Just in case, because so far I have the apps I want (nothing fancy).

Very good job.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Its alright...superwipe does everything

The extra wipes are because I am OCD:P

Is the text editor for editing install.txt?

Well you were supposed to edit it with the computer before flashing

Its alright...just edit install.txt and flash the zip again...

Don't superwipe or any wipe...it *should* keep your apps and settings...unless something goes weird

To restore from titanium you just install titanium backup from the market again

Then you go to the list of your apps in one of the menus of titanium backup and look at the bottom of the list

Click on the app you want to restore and do "restore app + data"
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Well you can start by typing "fastboot -h"

Into command prompt
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
I downloaded and installed "Text.edit". Everything is fine now: my email, my songs, my contacts, and my apps are at my fingertips!

I also used Titanium to restore some apps.

It is great!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Alright cool:D

I'm still curious though.

Was the text editor for editing install.txt? Did you reflash after editing?

If it was just because you needed a text editor for your own purposes then never mind:D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
Good guess: I needed a text editor. And I enjoyed the convenience of yes or no.

I am more comfortable with Froyo/Frayo than with EZgin.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
I forgot to mention in my previous reply that I did - out of curiosity - start "fastboot -h".

Are you crazy, I got an avalanche of commands (12) and of options (7)!! It's too much at once for me.

But I want to get familiar with it because I want to try to upgrade my Radio, through this config. if I may say so, to 2.22.28.25.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Well yes...now start researching :D

You can't learn things really step by step

Its all a mass mixing of tons of computer knowledge that really helps

And check the 2708+ kernel thread for that.

The spl you have right now doesn't support flashing so be very careful and don't wipe anything (especially recovery)

You need to switch to....ahh....don't do it yet...I don't want you to brick
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
Which spl will support flashing? Is the spl recommended by ezterry in his EZGin is the one to get?

Where do I download the spl in order to flash it?

Do I use fastboot to flash it?

I agree with you, I have to swallow, then digest, tons of information. It is sometimes confusing and certainly dizzy.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Well, no you have the recommended ezging spl

It doesn't support fastboot flash

Personally I really recommend you don't upgrade the radio.

In here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139

It tells you how to upgrade it through recovery (although that is a bit unsafe). Look near the bottom of the post.

I guess do it if you don't install anything crazy. But i don't really see why you need it.

But the other way is also unsafe because you have to flash the spl that supports flashing through recovery

The only really completely safe way to do this is by going through 1.0 RC29 :P
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
My idea was, and still is, to try to install cyanogenmod 6.1.0 to see how it is.

To do that I have a lot to learn.

Let's be straight, without your help right now I would operate a stock G1 at best or look at a nice bricked Dream which would be un-american.

In the meantime if things are going my way I should get soon a Nexus One.

In this case, my G1 will be a test bed for me where I can learn, experiment, crash, recover, and enjoy at the end (hopefully).

So, let'go for the process of flashing through fastboot!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Are you sure?

So you don't want to try this:

Its from the 2708+ thread...

Heres the fastboot way:

Also from the 2708+ thread

Do nandroid+ext backup btw...

ENG SPL 1.33.2005 is DangerSPL

At step three, what you want to do is flash the updated radio.

You'll need to extract radio from the update_2.22.28.25_S.zip in the quote above this one. Put it in your fastboot folder.

And flash it using "fastboot flash radio RADIO-2.22.28.25.img"

Then don't reboot and just reflash the 1.33.0013d hboot. Only the hboot.

Do all the steps from earlier except for the radio.

Restore your nandroid.

Still either way is dangerous.

I've never really heard of a difference in the updated radio....so you don't need it.

Im really worried:P.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
Im really worried:P.

Me too ......................until I get the other phone:cool:

I have been reading more than once this ezterry post about 2708+ enabled kernel.

And I have been hearing you regarding the updating of the radio. For the moment I will keep the version installed on my G1 (2.22.27.08) unless you consider that installing an engineering spl is a must.

I am not sure I always understand (euphemism for sure!) the meaning of some action or the path to implement it.

Every time I am asked to put a file (mainly a downloaded file) in the fastboot folder or the adb folder does it mean in the folder C:\android-sdk-window\tools? If not where else?

Alea jacta est (almost):D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Put the files wherever you run fastboot and adb from

For me (on Ubuntu) its /home/andrey/android-sdk/platform-tools/

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

Check which one has fastboot and adb.

Or if you are using the zip I uploaded with adb for you, then put it in the folder.

Point is, put it wherever you run fastboot from :D

What language is that?

Is English your first language? Or if not, what is your first language?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
"alea jacta est" is a latin expression meaning the die is cast.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
Like yours, the 2 files are in C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Then that's where you put the files when asked to put them into the fastboot folder:D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
I am a bit late. Sorry for that.

I got a nexus one.

I am keeping the G1 for learning and practicing the commands in a cmd window.

Right now I am on Froyo. In your opinion where should I start or do to use the fastboot commands?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Well...idk really

Just learn it when you need it

Ill tell you a few useful commands

"Fastboot erase system -w" erases system and wipes data

"Fastboot flash boot boot.img" flashes a kernel boot.img if you are playing with kernels

Really I recommend you start looking around the system files

You can use a root explorer (like es file explorer) or do it in terminal

In terminal you start at the root directory which is /

To show files and directories type ls

To go inside a directory do cd directory

Like cd /system

Probably better to use ES

Don't worry about deleting stuff...you may break the system but I'm pretty sure you *cant* delete the spl

And if you have spl you can always restart with DREAIMG.nbh

Actually, with the spl you have its a little different to restore

It says how in the 2708+ thread

Have fun!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
This is what I get from a command prompt.

Obviously the last command line is not the one expected.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Wait...what did you type to get that

Because at the # is when you start exploring:D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
I typed exactly what the thumbnail shows.

adb shell and press enter. It gives at first the ~, then #, and the rest!!

I think I will re install the rom and maybe update the radio before.

By the way for fastboot mode do I use a cmd from the pc or the console from the phone ?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Well I don't think it affects anything just delete it?

Eh, just get a file explorer.

Fastboot is from pc
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
In fastboot what is the command line to flash "update_2.22.28.25_S.zip".

Thanks again for your guidance.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
you can do this through recovery being that it is a signed zip. but if you prefer in fast boot

fastboot flash radio update_2.22.28.25_S.zip

but i think you would need to unzip the image out of your folder and then in fastboot it would be

fastboot flash radio <name of image>.img
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Yes you need to pull the .img out of the zip

And do

Fastboot flash radio xxxxxxx.img

But one thing

If you still have spl 1.33.0013d, fastboot flash will not work
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
No matter what I do, I still get " error cannot load xxxxxx.img ".

Yes, I have spl 1.33.0013d.

I knew I could and still can do it through Recovery but I wanted to start using a command line (like fastboot) instead of the graphical way.

I will go the Recovery way.
