Sorry. I'm new this--just got my g1 two weeks ago.

I am already on 1.5 JF ADP, so I don't have the right recovery console to do an ALT+B backup.

So I downloaded the file from JesusFreke's site and renamed it to update.zip, placing it right on the SD card.

Now when I turn my phone on in recovery mode, I still have the picture of the [!] in a triangle, and when I try to do an ALT+S update, the bar pops up for a second, I see the orange progress thing move a few millimeters, then it stops completely. I pressed ALT+S again, but I got the same thing...

Is there something wrong? Thanks for any help you can give me
[G1 General] pshadey:
So your new to this, well if you would read the just the entire thread you would have your answer... but because I'm no one to talk, I guess I can lend my knowledge. (jk people).

First of all power your phone down. Now restart your phone in recovery mode by pressing home and power when the the little triangle pops up press alt-L to show recovery options. If you have a option for nandroid back up *alt-b* then you have the correct recovery image and you can perform the back up. If you don't see the alt-b option then you have the wrong recovery image, and you need to install jesusfreaks 1.42 image. Found on the link towards the top of this page.

Make sure when you rename it that you just name I update not update.zip, or it will end up update.zip.zip and will not flash. Happened to me, I know in windows there is a option to show known file extensions if that helps.

TRY that and let me know what happens
[G1 General] markinct:
I have been trying to install the recovery image as well. I'm certain it's named update.zip, and it appears to get applied. I then do the Home+Back to reboot. I allow the phone to boot all the way to home screen/full service. I re-enter recover mode and still no "ALT-B" option. What I do see - and it was there before I tried to JF's 1.43 recovery image (it's 1.43 at the link, not 1.42)

Android system recovery utility
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/com
mand

Home+Back - reboot the system now
Alt+L - toggle log text display
Alt+S - apply sdcard:update.zip
Alt+W - wipe data/factory reset

Even though the error message was there before, and elsewhere on XDA I've seen advice to safely ignore it, I'm still concerned by it.

I know I'm a n00b, but how could I possibly be screwing this up? :)
[G1 General] johnism:
This is what mine says also:

Android system recovery utility

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/com

mand

Home+Back - reboot the system now

Alt+L - toggle log text display

Alt+S - apply sdcard:update.zip

Alt+W - wipe data/factory reset

Can I install JF's 1.43 recovery image while using H6.01r or does the recovery image only work with JF builds?
[G1 General] KidJethro:
Doesn't matter what build you're on. I'm on Dude's 1.1a. Check my picture earlier in the thread. :)
[G1 General] johnism:
thanks, just wanted to make sure and double check.

Remember there are no stupid questions, just stupid people who do not ask questions.

:D
[G1 General] phatman81:
I know where you are coming from. I also had the same issue. No matter how many time i applied the update, i would not get the correct recovery console. I already had the phone wiped, so i just installed JF RC33 firmware (which this loader is included in) and after that update, i now have it and working. I know it hard to wipe everything to get nandroid working (totally defeats the purpose of said tool) but i can verify that this method works... may have to get JF look at that file he is linking to, for some reason it just seems not to be working as a standalone update...
[G1 General] markinct:
Thanks for the reply!

So should I wipe, install the recovery , reboot, then install an Android build? Or Wipe, install Android, then the recovery image?
[G1 General] phatman81:
The JF RC33 has the recovery built in, so you can just wipe and install JF-RC33 and you should be good to go after that. (you can then install w/e build (hykuro or JF) afterwards, just wipe again if you switch between builds... like from a JF to hykuro)
[G1 General] markinct:
Thanks for setting me straight, phatman!

I was able to downgrade to RC33 and lo, ALT+B and ALT+X Goodness were there...

I never got the RC33 install fully connected to Google - perhaps because I still have the later radio patch. I was able to push the 1.5 upgrade via adb, and I'm applying it as I type...

Thanks again!
[G1 General] phatman81:
No problem... now if someone who knows JF can get him to find out why the standalone is not working, it would be 1 less step after doing a RC29 wipe. Anyone close to JF and can get any input on this?
[G1 General] clefster:
The way I got around this issue was to install the recovery img using these steps:

Unzip the zip you linked above (http://jf.odiness.com/v1.43/JFv1.43_Recovery.zip), and look in the data dir. THAT is the recovery.img file you need for the following instructions (taken from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=443041):

D:\Android\AndroidMod>adb push recovery.img /data/local/recovery.img
912 KB/s (0 bytes in 1767424.001s)

D:\Android\AndroidMod>adb shell
$ su
su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cd /system
cd /system
# cat /data/local/recovery.img > recovery.img
cat /data/local/recovery.img > recovery.img
# flash_image recovery recovery.img
flash_image recovery recovery.img
#

When I did this, I got the updated recovery img.
[G1 General] phatman81:
i did that too, just from the console on the phone (since i am at work the past few days) and it didnt seem to take. Its quite possible i missed something or mangled a step, but if it works through adb, why does it not work as a standalone update.zip? Very interesting...
[G1 General] scotte9999:
That method worked great for me, cleftster. Thanks for the clue! I figured that would be the same as doing a fastboot flash, but I guess not!
[G1 General] pshadey:
why did my method work for some people and not for others.....This stuff a can get confusing at times.]

[Touch HD General] suhail:
There is an option in hotmail/msn/windows live mail to send an email and make it appear to the sender that it is sent from another account like gmail. I have activated this feature in my live mail account through my pc. My primary email is gmail. Since gmail doesn't offer a push facility, I forward a copy of my mails to my alternate windows live mail account and thus enjoy push mail facility on my Touch HD running WM 6.1. Could someone please tell me if there is a way to reply for a mail from my ppc live mail account and make it appear for the sender that it has been sent from my gmail account to which he had originally sent me the mail? My wife's iphone has this feature (she gets her gmail forwarded to her yahoo account which offers push mail. she has the option in iphone to reply to that mail either from her yahoo account or from gmail account. Is a similar trick available through a registry hack or otherwise in WM 6.1? Thanks in advance..
[G1 Apps and Games] davidemartindale:
I've used search... on this forum and several others...

The native music app, and what seems like the vast majority of free 3rd party music apps, are missing what is to me, a vital function of any music player software... browse/play by genre.

I love the simplicity of the default app, and if the default app had this feature, it would be perfect for me.

Anybody have any suggestions for music apps that browse/play by genre?
[G1 Apps and Games] Shrivel:
Don't think of the music players will do this, but you can create playlists by genre and play those.
[G1 Apps and Games] davidemartindale:
Grrrrr... For me, genre sorting is actually more important than album or artist sorting, but thanks for the help :)

That news is disappointing. Since I randomize which 8 gb of my 40 gb collection gets sent to my phone every few days, static playlists aren't really viable for me. Maybe if there were smart playlists?
[G1 Apps and Games] davidemartindale:
ooooooh... just watched that video of the experimental H-port of the Hero build. I spied Genre sorting! Guess I'll just have to wait and hope :D
[G1 Apps and Games] LatinSilEighty:
if you want to organize them by genre just put them in files named hip hop or country or metal rock whatever. then go get the free app. "mediabypath" then open it and it will show your music files or whatever.

go to the file with the genre you want and dont click it press and hold on it (so if you have a hip hop folder dont go in it just press and hold)(make sure you dont have anything in the current playlist) and itle say "queue all next" click on that.

while its playing go to the music player , click on the top right hand icon that has a list icon ,hit menu, then save as playlist, name it whatever genre.

That will organize your playlist for you by genre. and repeat the process but make sure the playlist is cleared before doing the next genre

i hope that helps. i was one that hated having to sort through all my music to hear one song. and i hated the fact that it would play my ringtones with my music and it would shuffle them by the name instead of by folders.
[G1 Apps and Games] MoridinBG:
Genre sorting is vital for me too and I do it with MediaByPath. I organise the music on the SD card in Genre folders (drum'n'bass, ska, trance, etc) and put the artists and albums in fub folders if needed. The app loads the entire content of chosen folder (unfortunately not the content of subfolders, which must be added manually).
[G1 Apps and Games] davidemartindale:
Right on, thanks again for all the help everybody.

Unfortunately, I can't organize into genre folders either since the entire contents of the music on my phone (8gb) changes randomly every few days... Well, I suppose I could, but it seems unlikely that I would take the time needed multiple times a week.

I use a program on my desktop that randomly chooses a selection of my music library and copies those files to my phone. It is also set to never select a song that was used during the previous selection process. So I literally never have any song more than 2 or 3 days in a row, and I never know what songs are going to be chosen.

Seriously though, the members of this forum have been extraordinarily helpful since I stumbled across it a couple weeks ago. I really appreciate the effort.
[G1 Apps and Games] LatinSilEighty:
wow yeah in that case you might have to wait for the HERO build then i organize my stuff myself in folders but i can understand how time consuming it would be to organize when you get the music randomly. but yeah sorry bro either way mediabypath is still pretty nice if you were to ever get the time to organize your music glad we could "attempt" to help

Hey guys, I just got my touch pro last week and now the keyboard wont work. No drops or water damage. It wont light up or anything. I dont want to have to go back to the sprint store, so if u guys have any suggestions that would be awesome. Thanks.
[Touch Pro CDMA] USAF22:
Sorry

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I had the same thing happen to me. I spent probably a combined total of 8 hours on the phone with different people before I got any kind of solution. I couldn't find anything online. I was out of the initial Sprint Warranty. So Sprint said, sorry, you're gonna have to pay for a whole new device. That wouldn't work, the device was just 3 months old. So I called HTC, and at first they said there was nothing they could do either, until I talked to one person who forwarded me to PCD. They were able to fix it, for free under warranty, they replaced some RFID tag (IDK what that meant, it was in this checklist of tests they sent back) and sent the phone back. All I had to pay was shipping to their Repairs center. The bad thing was, it took them 3 weeks to work on it (only 4 days were shipping there and back). I hope I have been helpful, and I am sorry about the bad news. I know the feeling.:(
[Touch Pro CDMA] shynniew:

[Touch Pro CDMA] kilroy1stcav:
I had the same thing on my Verizon Pro, what I found was (I took mine apart) was that the cable had came loose from it's connector, I just had to reseat it and works perfect. By the way I bought it that way (got a great deal because it didn't work).
[Touch Pro CDMA] G00gle26:
I have the same keyboard problem...it doesn't work most of the time, but once in a blue moon it will....the keyboard lights come on, but no input from keys work....so is that still a connector issue you think? Did you keyboard backlight come on?

[Touch Pro CDMA] mackaikai:
yah me too, i took my touch pro back to Sprint and they changed the whole touch screen part of the phone for me in 45 mins and for some reason that fixed the keyboard as well, so i guess the problem is in the touch-screen part of the phone, not the keyboard itself
[Touch Pro CDMA] zKnuckles:
Try this. Take out the battery and pinch extremely hard on the space button to re-seat the keyboard cable.

I'm not completely sure if it will work as I got my phone replaced before I found this fix.

Try it and let me know if it helped any.
[Touch Pro CDMA] striker1211:
Genius! However, i am not. Your solution worked, however i fear it may be a temporary solution? I want to get this fixed while under warranty and dumb ol' me fixing it, well, now i won't have anything to show the sprint store :(

[Touch Pro CDMA] throwback1718:
this is a very common problem because this also hppened to me.

the represenstative told me that putting on 3rd party software can help the keyboard going out
[Touch Pro CDMA] codybear:
go to your phone carrier.

demand a NIB replacement. (new in box)

it states in the manufacturing warranty that you get a NIB replacement for the keyboard. it's a known problem, tell them to call the tech department or htc tech support and they will tell the rep the same thing.

Don't leave without a NEW replacement.

Don't take a refurb(mailed out) replacement.

hahahahahha.

I call BS on that one. lol.

[Touch Pro CDMA] Cyfun:
Same happened to me on my Alltel CDMA Touch Pro after having owned it for about 4 weeks. It would also not shut off the screen backlight. Was very odd. Luckily, my Alltel store is literally across the alley from my house, so I ran a full backup using Sprite Backup, walked over there, and they swapped it out for a new phone within 10 minutes. Took me another 45 minutes to restore the backup, but wasn't nearly as bad as sending it away for several weeks to be repaired.
[Touch Pro CDMA] tresten:
I removed the battery and pressed the space bar as well as several adjacent keys hard and it worked! Thanks zKnuckles :)
[Touch Pro CDMA] bsvif:
Thank's for TIP it's works!!!
[Touch Pro CDMA] tresten:
Removing the battery and pressing down on the space bar only works temporarily for me. I am going to have to just take mine apart to re-seat the connector. I just need to find a tool small enough to take the screws out. Hope I don't end up with any extra parts when I'm done...
[Touch Pro CDMA] elektrik2001:

Help!! My phone is semi-bricked. It's a HTC S630.

Symptoms:

- Have to take out and put the battery back in to get it to do anything

- On power on, the green LED goes on and it vibes for a sec but no video, nothing. Seems to sit there forever.

- I can get to Bootloader multicolor, by holding the camera button, no problem.

- I can hold the 2 softkeys and get it to ask me to clear storage, no problem

- The phone is Hard SPL'd so I can still flash ROMS, from Windows, no problem

- Flashed back to another ROM and even the official Dopod ROM, still same thing

- I tried flashing from the SD card, flashes fine, but still same symptoms

- Also, doesn't seem to charge when it's off (no orange light on charger)

- With the battery out and plugged into a charger, the RED LED stays lit. Reinserting the battery turn red light off but doesn't charge (no orange light)

What I "think" I did to cause it:

I made some changes to MainSplash.nb and SubSplash.nb and used the same OS.nb from you CavaFinal beta. Then I used nbhgen using this script:

CAVA100

HTC__001

1.19.709.7

WWE

600,MainSplash.nb

601,SubSplash.nb

400,OS.nb

I created the NBH, ran RomUpdateUtility, and its a BRRRRIIIIIICKKKKKK!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! HELPPPPP!!!!??? :confused:

[G1 Apps and Games] jordanjay29:
With Android 1.5, the Locale & Text settings allow you to program your own words into the dictionary, and set keyboard settings (like auto-correction). I'm sure auto-correction on the hardware keyboard is possible on 1.1 still, but I can't remember where.

As for copy/paste, you can do so in mail and browser by holding the shift key on the keyboard and selecting with your finger or the trackball. On the browser, the menu also includes a "select text" option.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
It could be good news or bad news. If the contacts have broken on the surface then they can be re-soldered. If they have broken below the surface then that's probably the end of the motherboard. The Tyn has a multi-layered boardand breaks between layers are impossible to fix. We do not have a detailed circuit diagram otherwise it might be possible to solder on jumper leads instead.

Let's hope it's jus snapped at the surface. Either you or a skilled repair shop could do it.

Here is the board with the battery connector removed:

You can see the six solder points.
