[G1 Android Development] Rafi_:
Im stuck

Ok first I hope i am on topic and not hijacking this thread. I have read countless other threads from here and other forums trying to figure out what went wrong over the past 3 days and now have to post feeling like a Noob when I know i can do this...

I am stuck on the G1 screen, good news: camera+power also home+power work still everytime i power on which means my recovery screen opotions still all work, including all my bootloader options (although I must admit I am unclear what the bootloader options are dong when i attempt to use them)

I used this for my recovery file "cm-recovery-1.4.img" <- this is the pimped version i presume since I have multiple options including load from "any zip". So I take some solace knowing I havent bricked it. yet.

Here is what my boot loader screen says with the 3 android skaters:

DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-1.33.2005

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

APR 20 2009, 15:30:43

I feel like I have followed the modding instructions to a "T" verifying each step along the way to ensure it was done correctly. I know I have the latest radio (ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip) which seems to be imperative prior to completing SPL step. Everything seemed to be going fine up to the very last step, when i load the rom and reboot. After the last reboot it hangs on the G1 screen. Yes I have waited for minimum 10 minutes every time, usually closer to 20-30 minutes. I have tried pulling battery and wiping prior to loading rom. Basically I have tried loading the ROM countless times from the recovery screen "wiping each time of course". It doesnt matter whether i try to load from "any zip" (i am using cyanupdate-cm-4.2.3-signed.zip) or using "update.zip" (yes i renamed it to update.zip prior) everytime it finishes without error and completes but when i reboot it just stays on the G1 screen.

From what I have read i believe my device does not like the ROM and refusing to load. Not sure if that is accurate but I have performed MD5 sum hash checks to verify the integirty of all my files. They are all 100% fine. I have 2 sdcards and tried both with every kind of variation swapping between the two according to other resolution threads.

With all that said I believe I have 2 appararent options:

1 . try a different rom e.g. on older outdated cyan version or jesusfreak?

2 . load dreaimg.nbh back from bootloader to revert back to RC29 and start all over again.

Is there somthing else more obvious? Before I go on I wanted the experts to chime in.

Do I want to load from my nandroid back up? What does the alt+f function do from the recovery as far as fixing files? Should I try something from the xlt+x console? ( if it doesnt matter then dont respond to those questions)

Sorry for the long details but want to provide an accurate desciption so this can be remedied easily. Hopefully someone can tell me either where i went astray or what I can do to complete the job. I feel i am so close to finally enjoying the full potential of this battle station... i mean phone

:) Please advise

p.s. A Thank you to all the moderators and hard work everyone does here to keep the community thriving.

EDIT: do I need to load this "signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip" the same time when i load the cyanupdate-cm-4.2.3-signed.zip? Everywhere it says you can load any mod you want so maybe that is the core of my error? lemme know...

EDIT2: I couldn't wait for a response and tried it....YUP that was it, it booted back up so I guess I am good. Feel free to delete this post or leave for others :)

If you want to give me some pointers going forwards that would be appreciated....

I have to go load up my phone now with some APPZ now!!!!
