[G1 General] pol2527:
The same thing happened to me, I downloaded rc29 to root my phone so I did the rooting and then I wanted to install the JF Rc33 update so I tried rebooting in recoveyr mode to install the update and my phone just got stuck in the G1 logo. It works on normal reboot but not in tecovery mode or when I press camera & power it takes me to a white screen with green letters and the little green android guy..... how can I fix that? I want the jf update. Is there any way of installing it without having to use recovery mode? Or is there anyway to fix recovery mode?
[G1 General] wpr:
danguyf,

Thanks.

I just redid the RC29 boot off the SD card. Just to rule out some more issues, I formatted the card again (512mb Sandisk).

As soon as I hit the action button, I get the tri color bootloader screen.

I have tried:

removing the SD card PRIOR to pressing the action button

removing the SD card PRIOR to a soft boot (call, end menu).

I have been using a fully charged battery.
[G1 General] Ronnymes:
Looks like you dont have rootacces, try this http://www.multigesture.net/articles/t-mobile-g1-downgrade-rc30rc8-rooting-update-tutorial/
[G1 General] wpr:
Thanks. Gotta learn a new OS!

I will give this a try in a few and report back.
[G1 General] Ronnymes:
Oke good luck ! :D

You need a WM phone to make a Goldcard and Qmat 2.24 if you use Windows.
[G1 General] wpr:
Thanks. I might need more than luck.

What is Qmat 2.24? Boy I hate feeling stupid!
[G1 General] Ronnymes:
Try google ;)
[G1 General] Mikey:
Just so we are clear, these are the steps you followed???

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

* 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.

* Click the notification, and then click "Mount".

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

2. 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)

3. Turn the device power off.

4. 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.

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

6. After it is finished, perform the restart your phone.
[G1 General] wpr:
The phone is not mine. It came in to us to recover. It came in frozen on the G1 screen, so I cannot perform these 2 steps:

* 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.

* Click the notification, and then click "Mount".

It does charge via USB and AC.

It is now powered up and frozen, but XP does find the Android phone and it shows up as a disk drive in device manager.
[G1 General] Mikey:
First off, who froze it?

Secondly, does the phone get to the homescreen?
[G1 General] wpr:
The user brought it in at the G1 screen.

That is as far as it gets in power up.
[G1 General] Mikey:
i hope you have a computer and either an extra mini sdcard *1MB in size* handy, or a mini sd card reader handy.

format the card, fat32.

download the rom from here. *scroll down to downloads section and pick the appropriate one. rc-33 U.S. RC-9 U.K. ADP unbranded*

if it's already named update, transfer it to the card, if not rename it update, then transfer it to the card.

After it has been transferred.

place the card back into the phone. start the phone up holding home and end key till it enters the recovery mode.

you should see a list of commands with a leopard looking-like screen.

hit alt-w

then alt-s

after it is complete, hit back+home to reboot again.
[G1 General] wpr:
Just wanted to follow up annd say thanks to everyone for the help. I did not get a chance to deal with it today, but I will post the outcome.
[G1 General] Death_Keeper:
I have the same problam too.

I have JF 1.1 Holidey version and when I try to update it to jf1.5 it gets stuck on the G1 logo, I tried using differnet updates to and differnt sd cards

and even tried the JF updater and it dosent work, I'm a bit frustrated, my brother rooted the phone for and installed the RC29 rom and the JF rom,

it offered me a system holiday update awaile ago and when I updated it froze on the G1 logo after I waited a long time (about 45 min) I removed the battery and started the phone again.. then I saw about 35MB free space (before I had only 10MB) and I think that from that point it added the holiday but I'm not sure if it wasn't already before that.. I realy need your halp with this.. I can't find a way to boot my phone and start a bootloader..

p.s. I was able to get to the fast boot when I press the power + Camera but I don't know how to use it..:confused:
[G1 General] Mikey:
Follow the same directions in post 14 =)
[G1 General] alvaro_castro:
I have a big problem!

MY G1 is still Frozen on G1 splash

I don't have access to the recovery mode (power+home), or fastboot mode (cam+power)...just show G1 logo...for hours!!!

Any idea?

I need to access to any mode to try to rescue my phone...

It is the second phone rooted by me, but I don't know what happened =(

thanks for the quickly answers!

G1 homescreen freeze

Hi,

I have a G1, installed hero-rom from xda(Jacheroski 2.0). I found it pretty annoying because the phone was very slow etc. So i tried to go back to the almost original software.

1. started G1 in recovery mode(Home+power), alt+x, adb shell, #parted /dev/block/mmcblk0, mklabel msdos, Y, rm1, rm2, mkpartsfs, primary, fat32, 0, 8000(8 gb card), shut down G1.

Downloaded:

- Radio (from htc support)

- SPL (from xda)

- Rom (from htc support)

Copied those files to my SD.

2. started my G1 in recoverymode(Home+power), wipe, apply any zip from SD,

First installed Radio = succesful

Tried to install SPL:got an error in line.

So thought that I first need to reboot my G1(because of the radio)

I rebooted my G1. got a installation screen. then I restarted my G1 and wanted to go to recovery mode to install spl and rom. It was frozen on the homescreen. I can't do any thing. not recovery not the other one(camera+power)

Any advice?
[G1 General] dizzydix:
Yes, pray hard.

I am still waiting for a solution.

See thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=563634

I hope someone will find the answer, if it helps me I will update you.

Peace
[G1 General] sorosh:
but mine is doing really nothing. you are getting in recovery mode etc..

Mine is doing really nothing except the G1 T-mobile screen

[Touch Cruise General] ltcaugust13:
I have a very wierd problem with my storage card.

The last I recall. I was deleting a picture from the HTC album.

The next thing was all data in the storage card is missing.

The folders were all missing except for the DCIM folder.

On checking the disc space. It seems the files were all still there.

I even unhide all files however still not visible.

Anyone any idea wat to do?

Could it be the storage card is damage? Anyway to retrieve my files?
[Touch Cruise General] x_coRe_x:
As far as I know, there is some programs, which restore files on on storage card. I had data lost about 3 months ago. To the best of my memory, I used Pocket Mechanic. Also you may try connect your device as USB-flash and try to restore data using programs for recover files from flash drives.

Good luck =)
[Touch Cruise General] ltcaugust13:
Thanks you.
[Touch Cruise General] stylobic:
hi,

i have my cruise for 1 year now, and i also had encountered storage card data loss 2 times this month. with 2 different SDHC cards, 4Go and 8Go.

never happened before, i can't understand why now. (ROM M-AMINE).

a friend of mine who's got his cruise with genuine rom from htc had the same probleme last month.

when this happens, the only folder remaining in the card is "inbox.000xx" that's all. the thing is some hidden data still using space when you check on a laptop.

i could recover most of the pictures with a dedicated software.

i can't trust this phone anymore, so i will change soon.

cheers.
[Touch Cruise General] rommel74:
data loss and phone crashes due to SPB software

I've had similar problems with folders disappearing randomly and file corruption on the SD card. I'm guessing that the file system on the SD card gets corrupted due to the crashes.

I've nailed down the issue to Spb Wireless Monitor, since uninstalling this software my phone is a lot more stable and no data loss from the sdhc memory card. May want to give this a try.
[Touch Cruise General] dysolve:
This question has been asked a few dozen times, and the answer keeps coming back to the HTC encryption and how bad it is. TURN IT OFF it can not be trusted and it is on by default. Its not even worth explaining why it is so bad and the causes behind it.. just disabled it and forgetaboutit!
[Touch Cruise General] princegoro:
Hi,newbie question guys,how do i turn off the htc encription?
[Touch Cruise General] silverpal:
Start->settings->encryption
[Touch Cruise General] stylobic:
Obviously, my phone had never this encryption on...

If you have explaination other than the dozen you're talking about, i'm really interrested.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sudermatt:
There are many All encompassing apps that totally take over your today screen. I like to pick and choose little apps.

One I'm missing is a sliding program launcher. One that allows me to pick the programs that are on it.

I've seen Launcher

http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Enhancements/Launcher-35563.shtml

This is close....but I'd like to have touchFlo "grab and toss" functionality.

OH....I should mention I'm running Touch Pro....so VGA is required....(cLaunch didn't work)

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] criminalogic:
dont kno if this will work with touchflow but sounds like what you want... its a grate today plugin, you can add any file on your device and Every file on your device if you choose, its called elecont launcher.. you can pick one line or many:

http://software.pocketnow.com/productMobile.asp?id=20029

its Not freeware but you can try it for free, and after your trial is up you can continue to use it free, edit it etc all free.. you just get a promt to buy everytime you click an app, jus click ( no ) lol its my main

plugin, and tha first app to reinstall after hardsets lol tha dailer is just as good if not better...

*same concept*
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sudermatt:
Yeah....that's basically what I wanted....was hoping for free....but I like the app...thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Why don't you use ThrottleLauncher? :(. It can take as much today screen as you want ;). If you wanna give it a try I can make a theme that just contain a single row of program icons... (It can even scroll horizontally).

Edit: done ;). To install just install ThrottleLaucher (see my signature). No need to install any theme, just the ThrottleLauncher cab. Then create a setups file inside the ThrottleLauncher folder and unzip the file inside that folder.

The structure will be:

ProgramFiles\ThrottleLauncher\Setups\LauncherRow

Select that theme in ThrottleConfig and you should be ready to go :).

Here you have a video of how it's working and a screencapture also...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rojaa:
How about vga?

icons are very tiny. Is there a way to increase their size?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
It's using the standar icons from the system, so their size is 32x32 (or 64x64 in VGA)... You can though change the icons asociated to the applications by using the ThrottleConfig 3rd tab and then the icons will "grow" ;).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rojaa:
but in config, "today" only 2 tabs appear: "info" and General

General only asks how many rows I want
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Aegishua:
This belongs in Questions and Answers again.. but anyways you should try using SPB Pocket Plus or Ultimate Launch.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Yes... UL will be a good choice too ;).

P.S. Agree with the Q&A thing... any mod able to move the thread? :)

Extract the RUU_Diamond_HTC_Ship.exe file to a new directory on your PC

Find the RUU_signed.nbh file in this new directory and rename it to Diamimg.nbh

Copy Diamimg.nbh to the root of Internal Storage

Hold in the volume down button + the back button (thats the top right button on the front to the right of the big middle jog control) + soft reset

Follow instructions on screen

When the process is complete (it will say UPDATE SUCCESS) then reset

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cloudedhopes:
ok first of all... we need to make sure u have HARD SPL... for that, you need to connect to computer...

try this to make sure it's not a USB cable or port issue...

remove any cable

go to bootloader "enter Bootloader by pushing the red reset button (on the back) while holding volume down key on the side"

you will see some a tri-color screen... and it will read Serial at the bottom... NOW connect USB to computer and wait for a minute and two... the "SERIAL" should now read "USB"...

if this works... then keep the phone connected and follow the HARDSPL instructions from :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=416211

first post, Section A

if it does not change to "USB" then it's a port / cable issue... try another cable or a diffirent port on your computer...

Hi everyone! When I connected my jade to my pc via usb, i got the usual screen asking me how i want to connect to the pc. Through activesync, internet sharing or disk drive. I chose internet sharing the last time to try this function out. However, the next time i connected via usb, the selection screen did not come out and it automatically went to internet sharing. Each time i connect via usb, this is what happens! Furthermore, i am now unable to sync! I tried going to activesync and pressing sync but to no avail! Could somebody help me please?!? Thank you in advance!!!:confused:
[Touch 3G General] azahidi:
Try this...

1) Without connecting to PC.. on PC open ActiveSync. Select File - Delete Mobile Device - Confirm deletion.

2) On Jade, open active sync - options - delete all data

3) Now connect usb and configure connection again.

Hope that works.
[Touch 3G General] izzyzc:
Or on your Jade:

Click Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC...

Make sure that the checkbox at the bottom of the screen is checked.. That way it will always ask you what mode you want when connecting the device to USB...

HTH! :)

Have similar problem

Trying to transfer contacts from Outlook 2007 to Contacts in JADE Clone, it synchronizes all data except contacts what is a bit annoying.

Tried to do all mentioned above but no success.

Every time after opening ActiveSync settings, contacts are grey and impossible to mark them for Sync.

Could anybody advice pls?

Type approx 400 contacts again is nightmare.

Thanx
[Touch 3G General] azahidi:
Sometimes it's defaulted to "sync with PC". In Options, try uncheck that on PC contact folders, then check on server contact folders.
[Touch 3G General] Kajmaj:
I have tried it, but no success.

Later on found (thanx to Google :) ) and installed Chapura Pocket Mirror Professional 1.0 trial and it went through and whole Outlook has been synchronized.

I doubt it would just be a registy tweak. it would need to be a program that changed registy values in concordance to the time on your phone. i doubt it is really draining that much battery life. the little led's that are lighting them up shouldnt draint ha tmuch power. your better off messing with backlight settings i would think.

Now the problem...

I have got one question: Is there any program or other "tip" that will allow me to switch between landscape and portrait mode by pressing specified button (with QWERTY keyboard hidden all the time) ?

Sometimes I want to use landscape mode, but i don't need QWERTY keyboard. And as we all can say - Vox without slided out QWERTY keyboard is more handy, shapely and graceful ;)

Anyone can halp me?
[HTC Vox] tobbbie:
Celetask can do it for you - no idea if there is a shortcut option somewhere. Usually the applications that would benefit from landscape allow to rotate the screen content by themselves (e.g. TCPMP).
[HTC Vox] hashtowent:
of course aebutton plus can do this for you it allows asign a key for rotating the screen :)

like longpress home or camera it doesnt affect normal button function if you set it correctly!
