I forgot to mention that yes I had apps, data, and dalvik all moved to the SD card but NO custom boot images. I am assuming the data or dalvik move is what caused the initial problems when I flashed to ADP 1.5. I currently am running the HardSPL (HSPL10.95.3000)

I haven't tried flashing the DREAIMG.NBH yet but assumed it wouldn't work as I have flashed numerous other ROMs to no avail. I suppose I shouldn't assume. I will try that today. On the other hand, any ideas on how to reformat (or just make it recognizable for that matter) my SD card?

Thanks gang!
[G1 General] gPhunk:
How do I go about reinstalling the test keys? And do I need to flash to an SPL other than the HardSPL (which I have now) for the DREAIMG.NBH to flash appropriately?

Thanks man
[G1 General] LucidREM:
flashing the nbh should be the way to go .. it basically images the whole phone .. whereas flashing the ROM files does not .. each update.zip only deletes the /system portion of the phone .. performing ALT+W deletes the /system AND /data portions of the phone

flash the nbh like you were starting from scratch with the root process .. go back thru all the steps .. put the new recovery.img etc blah blah blah
[G1 General] pshadey:
odd

I'm not real sure as far as the test keys go. But as long as your phone is rooted with a hard spl (which is just a edited engineering spl) you should be able to reflash any rom including rc29 (dreamimg.img) just rebember to go thourgh the bootloader to do so not recovery. The very way you originally rooted you dream.
[G1 General] daveid:
Have you tried simply doing a wipe yet? Sounds like you need to clear out the /data partition, and be patient when it boots up the first time after a wipe - it can take a while.
[G1 General] gPhunk:
Thanks guys - The DREAMIMG flash worked. You truly are life savers. (My wife has been on my ARSE the last 4 days for this.. lol) I do have a quick question for Lucid.

First, thank you for ALL the fine work you have done. Basically all of my ROMs have been yours (and JF's of course). So my question is with the linking of the data and dalvik cache. Even though I wiped when flashing to 1.5 it seemed I still had file folders stuck in my partition which were preventing me from updating the links again. What should I have done to re-link them appropriately? I tried your "undodata / dalvik" scripts but still couldn't get them linked.

Again guys - Thank you
[G1 General] gPhunk:
Ya I wipe with every flash. I even let it boot up overnight (as I read that it can take a while) but when I woke up it was still at the G1 screen. Have no idea what caused this but the DREAMIMG.nbh flash worked.
[G1 General] pshadey:
great news

Good to hear you got your dream up and running again. I'm happy to see the community so willing to help. Keep posting issues, keep responding to those who you think you can help. This is the reason why xda-devlopers site is the go to site for xda issues.
[G1 General] ipaqkiller:
SDcard probs....

Did you ever get your SD Card working again?

If not, download the free version of killdisk from http://software.lsoft.net/KillDiskSuiteFree-Setup.exe and use it to wipe the entire sd card with zeros. After that, remove the card from your windows box then reinsert it. Windows should ask you to format it and you should be golden. I've seen this problem happen with flash drives as well and this always gets them back.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
I suspect that the disk is dead. In any case, windonkey isn't the right thing to use to try to recover it. Boot on the livecd, insert the disk, type 'dmesg', which should output the device file, i.e. 'sdb', then as root do a "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd?" where ?=whatever that was from 'dmesg', wait until it finishes, pull the card, push the card, run gparted. More than likely, the output of 'dmesg' will show a problem with the card, in which case, melt it, burn it, break it in half, throw it out, warranty it, whatever makes you happy that results in you not accidentally trying to use the thing.
[G1 General] gPhunk:
Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it but it couldn't write to it. I suppose it's hosed. Just ordered another. Thanks for your help though!
[G1 General] gPhunk:
Can flash DREAMIMG.nbh - but not a modded ROM

I was able to regain my phone by flashing DREAMIMG.nbh. (thank you all) I followed all of the directions (to the "T") from this post (http://www.kyubinc.org/files/AndroidMod.zip) that I saw Lucid recommended in an April post. I was able to get through the steps and rooted the phone successfully (made sure I could get "#" when typing "su" into Term Em) BUT when I go to flash RC33, I get hung up at the freaking G1 screen AGAIN !!! <<I'd pull my hair out if I had any>>

I let it boot for 90min before I decided to request suggestions so I don't think it's a patience thing. The only error I noticed while rooting was when I entered the recovery console, at the top it said "Can’t open /cache/recovery/command". Can't remember if that was normal or not as it's been so long but it let me successfully flash the update.zip from the SD card so didn't think much of it. But when I rebooted it is stuck at the G1 screen.

Now I know that my 8gb SD card is hosed so am using the 1gb that came with the phone until I get my new one. So I am using a

completely different

SD card but am getting the same "stuck at the splash screen" issue. Anyone have an idea

what

in my phone is surviving all of these wipes/flashes that is perpetuating this issue? It just doesn't make since that I can flash an OEM ROM (DREAMIMG.nbh) just fine but not a modded one (RC33). I certainly am not ruling out user error, but it just seems like a directory or file or WHATEVER inside the phone has been corrupted or something because it's the only constant in this whole process.

Thanks again
[G1 General] pshadey:
dunno

When you went through the root process again did you reinstall the hard spl again. And then protect it
[G1 General] LucidREM:
and you followed these steps precisely?

http://files.lucidrem.us/jf/ROOT/g1_root.txt

just making sure
[G1 General] kstar54:
O dear, I am experiencing the same issue - I pulled my SD out this morning was not able to get it recognized, and upon reboot got stuck on the splash screen. I have wiped several times and am still stuck at splash 2. I am at work so cannot try to access my card thru my PC to see if I am having the same problem as gPhunk, but can only assume that i fried my SD card. I am a n00b, so really nervous of my ability to get myself back up and running.

To install the dreaming.nbh, is it the same as any other flash - rename it update.zip and ctrl-s from the recovery screen? Does that bring back to an RC build so i have to re-root?

Help! And thank you so much!
[G1 General] gPhunk:
Similar - but the ones I followed were these

http://www.kyubinc.org/files/AndroidMod.zip

I will try this set this time..
[G1 General] LucidREM:
http://files.lucidrem.us/jf/ROOT/g1_root.txt
[G1 General] gPhunk:
You can get the dreaming.nbh file here (http://files.lucidrem.us/_fd.php?file=jf/ROOT/DREAIMG-RC29.zip)

Download, unzip, and place the dreaming.nbh file on your SD card (no need to rename update.zip).

Power your phone off.

Hold Camera Buttom + Power.

It then will say to press the "Power" key to boot dreaming.nbh. Do so.

It will say "hit the Active key to reboot" which is just the trackball.

It then will show you a rainbow like screen. Hit Call + Menu + Power to reboot

Keep in mind you will need to re-root if you so choose.

I suggest following this (http://files.lucidrem.us/jf/ROOT/g1_root.txt) which Lucid referred me to to root, flash dreaming.nbh, and to get back to JF 1.4. I also suggest downloading the exact files as it notes (use the provided links) as when I did this the first time, I just used a dreaming.nbh and recovery file that I had downloaded previously which led to boot loops. Good luck!
[G1 General] gPhunk:
Thank you VERY much Lucid. The previous guide (http://www.kyubinc.org/files/AndroidMod.zip) that I followed that I found in one of your older posts apparently was outdated. When I used the links in the newer post to download the files listed and reflashed all was well. Thank you for taking time out of your day to help a stranger
[G1 General] LucidREM:
no problem .. just trying to keep things up to date for everyone .. heheh .. changes daily
[G1 General] kstar54:
Thank you both so very much for the information. It looks very clear and easy to follow. I will let you know how it works out when i can get to my other SD card. Thank you for

all

of your help.

[G1 General] billc.cn:
Reminder for everyone! don't use that stupid program to partition your sd. windows disk management do not know how to handle partitions on a SD card! it will only mess things up!

do you mean /data and /cache?

gPhunk have you tried booting without a sdcard after a wipe? wiping should clean all a2sd symlinks, so your sdcard should have nothing to do with the booting procedure anymore. leaving a damaged sd card in may confuse the OS though.

also have you tried using logcat or ddms during boot? the adb daemon is very low level and can provide many useful debug information even at boot time.
[G1 General] gPhunk:
Ya I found that out the hard way. Apparently you can't believe EVERYTHING you read on the internet... lol

Yes I did. In fact, I booted with a totally different (working) card and still had the same issue. Still don't know what's causing it but even though I can flash RC33, I still get hung up flashing the 1.5 ROM. I did flash the new radio first so maybe that's the problem. Should I flash 1.5 THEN the newer radio?

I have not. Honestly, I wouldn't even know where to start. Not a Linux guy but am trying to learn...
[G1 General] LucidREM:
as far as i'm aware nothing matters in the /cache unless you put dalvik-cache there
[G1 General] billc.cn:
but you know we can wipe after a system update and be sure the system is still there.

also, it says formatting cache when you wipe
[G1 General] LucidREM:
very true .. i was really referring to the update/wipe process .. probably just a mis-communicated idea from my brain to my fingers - LOL - the update clears the /system .. the wipe clears the /data
[G1 General] kstar54:
Hey there, me again! So when I pulled my SD and put it in my PC, it immediately asked me to format the card. Thats a good sign right?! I am going to go ahead and download all of LucidREM's files onto this card, and hope it goes as planned!

I'll let you know!
[G1 General] kstar54:
Success! I am in! Thank you thank you thank you! I am indebted to xda developers! Thanks Lucid and gPhunk....I couldn't have done it without you

Any thoughts on what could have caused the issue? The new htc radio? My class 4 card? Dumb luck? If I didn't mention it before, I was running the Dude's 1.1a with apps 2 sd
[G1 General] bahnburner:
You should be ok.
[G1 General] pshadey:

this is definitely the place to go for your xda issues.
[G1 General] n1gh7m4r3:
gphunk, on a side note, have you tried inserting your dead sd card into a camera, and formatting it from there, i've read a couple diff places that that is a lower formatting method, and possibly ressurect that card from the dead
[G1 General] gPhunk:
I have not tried that but suppose its worth a try. Before all of this happened I did try to put in a digital camera but it wouldn't recognize it. I wrote it off as being the wrong format (since I had changed it around so I could run apps from it OR because it was a Micro SD card and the camera wouldn't write via the card adapter. I'll give her a shot though as it can't fry it anymore! Lol Thanks for the suggestion!
[G1 General] overmachine:
Hi, i just came from Jf v1.5 to Dude's cupcake and everything goes fine except for the phone doesn't detect the sim card, i changed the sim card and its the same, rebooted everything ... can anyone help me?:(
[G1 General] Chahk:
Did you wipe the phone before flashing? Usually switching between 2 different builds (e.g. JF -> Dude) as opposed to upgrading to a new version of the same build (e.g. Dude 1.0 -> Dude 1.1a) can cause all kinds of issues. I'd suggest putting Dude's rom on the SD card again, booting into the recovery mode, doing Alt+W and then Alt+S to re-flash again. You will lose all customization and data, so back up what you want to keep first.
[G1 General] B3astofthe3ast:
Hi guys, I recently decided to root my g1 with JF1.5 and I'm loving it so far. I did notice that it takes alot longer to charge the battery though. Is anyone else having this minor problem, and is there a fix?

thanks in advance for any imput:D
[G1 General] ccyrowski:
Battery Charge

I'm having the same trouble, and for whatever reason once it gets up to 95% it gets to 100% in under a minute, whereas as long as it took to charge it should be another 10 - 20 minutes. I'm not really worried about it though. Makes me think I have a really long battery life!
[G1 General] B3astofthe3ast:
I'm not too worried either, as I have a car charger, but one of the things I admired about the G1 was how blazing fast it took to fully charge, and I miss it, is all.
[G1 General] DOHCtor:
and how blazing fast it took to drain completely.
[G1 General] madprgmr:
Once you have it fully charged, let it fully run down once (i.e. until the phone turns itself off). This should allow your phone to relearn the battery's limits. Note that I do not recommend doing this much, as it may decrease your battery's life.
[G1 General] JDMr2:
this topic's been covered on 2 other threads ive seen. However, i dont think anyone's come up w/ a solution yet, or a cause. I don't mind it so much since my phone will still last a little over a day w/ mild use before i would need to recharge it.

letting it run down completely and charging it fully doesn't fix it. neither does taking out the battery for a bit and putting it back.
[G1 General] futango:
I noticed that it took longer to recharge, but im not worried about it.
[G1 General] Seenochino:
I noticed that if i reboot the phone while its charging the percentage raises dramatically, so if i am in need of recharging i normally hit a 3 finger salute while its charging.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Danielfede:
Hello people, a few days ago i was given an Universal, i started looking in the internet about it and i finally found this page, what happened is that the device was in the bootloader screen.

So i managed, with al the instructions and everything else you've got here, to install Beasty and Laurentius OS 2.07 on the PDA. and its actually working, sort of...

I have no idea on the background of the device, i got it for free as someone didnt want it because he couldnt fix it. now... i bought the carger 5V 1A and its charging, but if i just try to use it at the same time (wmp and wi-fi) it starts slooowly charging down. It's just charging way to slow, ove been charging it since 3pm, and its now almost 8pm and its 70%.

Could this be the battery? the charger aint working correctly? maybe the OS? or is it just that this device had nothing else to offer?

Thanks :D

The only thing i know is that it was not used for over a year. as the last user thought it was broken.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] orb3000:
Welcome to the forum

Perhaps isthe battery

Anyway I recommend you to install a newer ROM

Try Tomal 8.5 battery life is very very good

I have my original battery since 2005 and lasts me aday and a half with that ROM

Good luck enjoy and...

Don´t forget to vote!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Danielfede:
well, right now im posting from the universal (actually its named qtek 9000 but it doesn't matter). I let the battery chsrge up to 100 now and it seems that it aint going down while I use the wifi. but ill keep an eye on it. and about tomal, could you please give me a link to it? I just have A lot of trouble finding things in this forum.

thanks.

pd: its annoying to do caps and correct grammar in this thing so... sorry for typos and all that.

There you are mate!!

You´ll see the battery life with this ROM and also performance!

[G1 Android Development] strazzere:
Just wondering, is this all your own shell code? Looks awfully similar to one I used on my router -- variable names and all.

Either way -- good post. Just wondering since you posted it with GPL and all ;)

Edit: Ah, here is the script I previously used and thought it reminded me of; "Adblock script" by Adrian Jon Kriel, http://lifehacker.com/5060053/set-up-universal-ad-blocking-through-your-router
[G1 Android Development] firestrife23:
yes you're right. Mostly is borrowed from tomato firmware forums (can't remember where), however their script is meant for dnsmasq, and I revised this to work with hosts file.

EDIT: Saw your source link, the reason I GPL'ed this script to prevent anyone else taking credit for Adrain Jon Kriel's work, I'll revision first post to give him proper credit thanks for link.
[G1 Android Development] strazzere:
Ahh, just wondering -- good work with it. Though I'd assume the original other (no matter how much you edited it) would like a little credit on it too ;)
[G1 Android Development] Lieu10ant:
how/why is this better than the app? doesn't it do the same thing?
[G1 Android Development] firestrife23:
It does the same as app, however my script is only 4.3kb.

Basically it combine multiple hosts source into single hosts file by clean up garbage such as ^M (MS-DOS end of line) which can be quite problematic for linux/unix in general (yes Android is Linux), and trimmed down to much smaller file size by removing comments, duplications, and finally sort everything by 0-9 and A-Z order to speed up hosts look up.
[G1 Android Development] Gilliland12:
Does this need to be rerun on any sort of schedule? Or will it take care of looking for new address to add to the hosts file?
[G1 Android Development] prash:
Love this script, thanks for sharing!
[G1 Android Development] innerspace:
nice work!

way to condense this down to nearly nothing. Quick question, does this autoupdate? Do I have to run this from time to time to update the hosts its blocking?

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Cheesebaron:
No it does not auto update, you can just rerun the script yourself.
[G1 Android Development] innerspace:
autoupdate

so then, how could we force this to run at boot so Android will always be adfree? Could we add a line to userinit.sh?
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
I have my doubts that the internet connection is live until phone is fully booted. And it certainly is not if you have SIM card pin enabled.
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
We have 3 options from where I sit.

We can add it to the userinit.sh (or user.conf) file(s) and perhaps set it up with a delay (since most of our internet won't be on right when the phone is booting) ie sleep 120 like from this post.

We can use Autostart from the Market.

We can just run the script manually.

[G1 Android Development] Gilliland12:
I'm pretty sure I'm trying this wrong.

I used the autostart app and created a .sh file (I'll post the content at the end of this) and the corresponding directory in data.

I started the phone and got a SU permission request (which I expected). But I don't know if the script ran right.

BTW I created this script using notepad in XP. Probably not the smartest choice, but I really don't know what I'm doing and figured I'd give it a shot.

Here is the content of the .sh file I created:

--------------------------------------

setPriorityLater()

{

# sleep for 2 minutes

sleep 120

# phone and all processes should surely by up by now

su

cd /sdcard

sh adblock.sh

}

setPriorityLater > /dev/null 2>&1 &

-----------------------------------------

I copied the text of the script from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4355721&postcount=78 and inserted the commands to run this script.

Be honest, I screwed it up didn't I?
[G1 Android Development] speoples20:

It's recommended to use notepad++. Trust me. It's much better than notepad.
