Downloaded dreamimg.hbh was corrupted and now have a bric help!

I downloaded the image file and after it installed it said installation failed. Now im stuck. Phone is stuck with red green blue and white bands. help! I tried redownloading the file and even used a different card. any thoughts? Scott
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
that is the original bootloader screen. as for the image file i think upper/lower case matters, so make sure its exactly like it is on the first post. also dumb question but i have to ask, is the memory card formatted to FAT32?
[G1 Android Development] ChrisDang:
Thanks, loving the new theme. (:

I'd rep you if that feature was available on here.
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
no problem, glad the little knowledge i have helped someone
[G1 Android Development] xjreyes:
well when i was messing around with the telnav it wouldnt connect to local host... so now i give up... lol... so whats the best way to go back to rc-33? just wait for the ota update again?
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
hmm....you did the previous steps correctly? i remember reading that to go back to unrooted RC33 you have to have RC29 and wait for the update.....not sure on that though, search through the forums, because i know I've seen it somewhere on here
[G1 Android Development] xjreyes:
yea i did, i redid the steps all over again and still the same... but im really not missing much besides going around saving mms. and the google voice thingy.... but yea i was looking about saying just wait for the update to come natually.. so i guess thats what ima do... i guess i can wait for someone to actually do it here in Austin and ill pay them to do it like i did my iPhone ( piece of crap )

hard spl issue

hi i got a issue installing the hard spl update i have a g1 with rc33 i went trought the steps and downgrade to rc29 install telnet and terminal emulator run the comands with no problem turn off the phone and turn it back on on recovery mode when i try to run the the spl update.zip i get this error:

installing from sdcard...

finding update package...

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)

(Invalid argument)

E: Can't mount SDCARD: update.zip

Installation aborted.

i try like 3 time and get the same think. I try to search for issues like that but didn't found any. anybody know what can i do to get the hard spl to update please.

thanks!
[G1 Android Development] ChrisDang:
alci: I don't know your problem since I hadn't experienced it myself, but it looks from my small opinion that you did root incorrectly, or telnet incorrectly. Reboot your phone and try to do those steps (telnet/root) again (be sure to follow the guide exactly). Post here what happens next, or if you have the same result.

xjreyes: If you have RC29, your G1 will keep bugging you to update to RC33. Don't waste your money, just do the following:

Delete other update.zip files on your SD

Download the rc29 file and copy it to your SD

Turn off your phone

Hold home and press Power (Recovery mode)

Press Alt L for the menu

(This step I'm not sure about, I'd do it just in case) Alt W to wipe your phone

Alt S to install rc29 (update.zip)

And from there you can just wait overnight. I got my notification the next morning to update to RC33.

Problem with downgrade

Hi All,

I am running RC8 and have downloaded RC7 and unzip it and put it in the SD card. When i rebooted it in bootloader it goes to the colored screen than the gray/white screen.

It shows CHECKING than NOT ALLOW than some numbers and than back to the coloured screen.

Can anyone tell me what i did wrong?

Regards
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
I have Android system recovery utility Build: JFv1.42 showing for me. Don't know if it really makes a difference though, maybe someone can answer that question:confused:

hard spl issue

i try to do telnet exactly like it is on the post and don get any error or anything this is what i get when i do it :

## mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

## cd sdcard

##flash_image recovery recovery.img

##cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img

##

that exactly how it shows on my telnet screen but i still get the same thing when i try to run the hard spl. im following everything like it suppose to but idk what else it can be.
[G1 Android Development] xjreyes:
Hey guys just woke up and its back on rc-33... thanks for yalls help ill just probably wait until i home more time to do this.. i just really want the apps on the memory card.... ill be back....lol..
[G1 Android Development] imponfire:
does it give an error message when you try to turn the phone back on in recovery mode or when you press alt+s to apply the hard spl or when you restart?

edit: i saw your original post at the top.. take out and put in your sd card and restart your phone.. then take it into recovery mode and try.. i had a similar issue because i just pulled the phone off of the usb cord without unmounting it properly, so the phone wasnt reading my card
[G1 Android Development] alcibiades26:
actually i try diferent think and actualy got it to work and it was the sd card i did it with a diferent sd card and it work just fine.

thanks for the help!!!
[G1 Android Development] MoreGone:
I am way frustrated right now, I have tried following the instructions over and over and I keep getting cannot create /system/recovery.img read-only file system

I have used OI file manager to create a folder in the sdcard and that works so I believe I have more then read only access, if I type reboot the phone reboots

anyone have an idea whats going wrong with my update?
[G1 Android Development] BlackElvis79:
what if...

That was very informative, but I have a few questions. What if I already have R33? Would the proceedure be any different? Second, how do I make an SD with the needed files to restore my phone if bricked BEFORE I try to root it? I've already had that happen to me once.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
hey um I rooted my phone and have the jf rc33 modified image, but I want to change to the ADP version, do I just dl it and flash it directly onto my phone?
[G1 Android Development] natter7737:

[G1 Android Development] black truck 10:
I was able to use telnet earlier, but now it wont let me anymore. Just says connection is refused. It is rc29 and all, but telnet just wont let me connect. I have restarted the phoen like 10 times, and I even set it back to factory settings but it still wont go through. Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] Neromyr:
okies. i have root and it says firmware version 1.1 build number kila-user 1.1 PLAT-RC-33 126986

I saw something about Dev phones being able to get an update to 1.5 cupcake. what is it and how can i get it and be sure i still have root? anyone?
[G1 Android Development] xsnipuhx:

Any problem with a 4 Gig sdram?

I'm about to root my G-1. I've read through all 108 pages of this thread, but I have to admit that I'm still hazy about one small point. Please forgive me if this has been mentioned already.

Does anyone see any problems with my using a 4 Gig sdram? And yes, I know that I need to format it to FAT32. I just want to make sure that 4 Gig isn't too large.

Thanks in advance.

[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
i have an 8G and i know at least two other people with 16G .. 8G is actually pretty common
[G1 Android Development] HippoMan:
OK. Thanks!

[G1 Android Development] Neromyr:
edit: oops i didn't notice someone already posted an answer for him. *rubs head*

does anyone know how i would go from:

firmware version 1.1 build number kila-user 1.1 PLAT-RC-33 126986 to what i heard about Dev phones being able to get an update to 1.5 cupcake. and make sure i still have root?
[G1 Android Development] rschuman90:
once rooted, can u still receive updates from the phone itself? or do u have to manually update everything from online, i want to root but i dont want to loose the "typical" features of an everyday phone, and also is ahome lite compatible?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
updates from the phone itself? can you be specific? are you referring to the OTA updates from Tmo/Google?? then no .. you lose nothing by rooting except the ability to update OTA .. this has nothing to do with the market

now i say don't lose anything .. but that's if you stick with your build and don't switch to ADP or something
[G1 Android Development] rschuman90:
well i still have my 1gb microsd so should i just wait until i purchase an 8gb or can i just transfer everything over? also im still iffy about rooting because im a noob when it comes to this stuff and im still not exactly sure how to get app2sd and the jf 1.5 cupcake... ugh :/
[G1 Android Development] conspid:
nevermind ...

[G1 Android Development] odomandr:
i remember when i was in your shoes. i thought that the "how to" seemed very complicated. but after watching the youtube videos and reading the threads here i rooted and have not looked back.

if you can follow directions then you can root. dont be scared take the jump.
[G1 Android Development] Emp_Nort:
Hopefully Not a stupid problem

I managed to downgrade to RC7 and telnet seemed to work, but when I go to boot into recovery mode I get the same screen as when I downgraded. I've tried reflashing the recovery img but it doesn't seem to help. Any Ideas?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:

HELLP!!!

I pressed cancel key try to update DREAIMG.nbh, it says update terminate update fail, what should i do????? now i can't even use the phone!!! please someone help!

I followed all these steps according to the thread:

1. Format your phone's SD card to FAT32 mode:

2. Hook your phone up to your computer using a USB cable and then wait for the notification to show up in your title bar of your phone.

3. A new removable disk should show up on your computer. Right click it and select Format, and select FAT32 as the file system type.

4. Download and unzip the RC29 or RC7 image file. Copy the DREAMIMG.nbh file to the SD card. (RC29 for US, RC7 is for UK)

5.Turn the device power off.

6. Hold Camera button, and press Power button to entry bootloader mode. You should see a gray/white screen with instructions to flash your phone with the update on your SD card. If you don't see that, make sure you followed the instructions properly.

7. As per the on-screen instructions, press the Power button to start upgrade procedure. DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS.

upload zip problems

I have successfully completed all the steps for Rooting my G1. But when I downloaded the update for R33 (last step), I saved to sim card and changed file name to "upload" and rebooted. After hitting ALT-S it says it could not find the upload zip file, even though its on the sim card. Now my phone keeps trying to update but cant find the update zip. Is there a reason for this or did I miss something? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

[G1 Android Development] DustinAK:
So, I have a Dev Phone1, and stupidly let it apply an OTA update to 1.5. It appears that this (of course) didn't use the rooted version, so here I sit with a Dev phone that's not rooted on version 1.5. My question is does this procedure work with 1.5? My thoughts are to use this to downgrade it to a rooted version of RC33, then get JF's 1.5 build.

Sound about right?
[G1 Android Development] The Spirit:
i just got a german g1 from a friend in order to root it for him.

i tried it the same why i did mine.

the problem is, he is allready on firmware 1.5 (aka cupcake).

just searched through the internet in order to solve this issue, but i didn´t find any info how to root a g1 with fw 1.5.

do you have any infos for me?

thanks
[G1 Android Development] eagle001:
Follow the instructions to go back to RC7 until you have (permanent) root and then go to 1.5 (pref. with a wipe). Don't forget to upgrade the radio to the one that comes along with 1.5 (see jf's blog also).
[G1 Android Development] The Spirit:
hi.

which instructions do you exactly mean (tried some, but without sucess).

[G1 Android Development] ptjoe:
I've read this entire thread and I couldn't find an answer to my question. I have an unlocked G1 (using Att service) with RC33 on it that I would like to root. I'm able to successfully load the "dreamimg.nbh" and restart the phone, but during Google activation, I get a "there is a problem communicating with Google server" error. I've tried this with both an Att sim card and a Tmobile sim card with the same result.

I thought it was originally due to the att data settings not being configured yet. I followed the instructions exactly as indicated.

Any help would be appreciated!

EDIT UPDATE!!!

I ended up adding APN settings for ATT and was able to get through this. I guess T-mobile was down this afternoon in my location
