hardSPL can be flashed without otherwise changing your system

just use utmost caution to ensure the checksum of the update file ON YOUR SDCARD is identical to what is says in the SPL thread. Check it inside the terminal on the phone itself.

also, there is always a chance that flashing an SPL could harm your device.
[G1 Android Development] bodyman:
I think that you need to redo the hardSPL again. Just make sure you read and re-read it before you do it. It's been a long time since I did it but mine read:

Dream PVT 32B ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA10000)

CLPD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.23 [--I like this radio the best]

Hope this helps
[G1 Android Development] mhsbrian:
Thanks guys !!!

Got it flashed and everything works great !!!
[G1 Android Development] perdid0:
I was gonna suggest that haykuro just released a new version of the hardspl that almost doubles the system partition. 89mb of internal mem!!! Since you were flashing anyways. U can find it on his blog.

if Want to create a shortcut to my sdcard on my G1 how would it be?

i been trying but i cant. i think that the address to sdcard is: /sdcard/

anybody know please let me know at android.3g@gmail.com
[G1 General] futango:
There are free apps in the market that let you view your SD. I like Linda file manager
[G1 General] jcarloss:
SD Card

yea i know but example you reset you device and sign in but you forgot to download file manager,, and you dont have internet..

and you need to delete a folder from the SD-CARD How would you do it?
[G1 General] brandenk:
In the terminal

rm /sdcard/foldername

You can do just about anything from the terminal, I would recommend learning the basics and many of the problems people run into on here would be solved just by some extra understanding.

http://www.ss64.com/bash/

I have a screenshot of that on my phone as reference when I want to use terminal commands since I am a linux noob. I also took the most common ones I use, like the commands to restore a nandroid backup and made screenshots of those for reference as well, they have not only helped me but Ive also been able to send those pictures to others to help them too.
[G1 General] jcarloss:
SD Card

thanks man but i still can do it i try with bettercut-full version

i create a new shortcut i put DATA: /sdcard/downloads

but nothing

is there a way to type it on the browser that address like in windows mobile?
[G1 General] futango:
If you Learn a little bit of linux then it should be pretty easy. If you used JF, the Dudes, Haykuro, then there should be a built in terminal emulator. Open the terminal emulator, type SU, allow it, then type cd /sdcard, enter, the "ls" this will list whats in the sdcard. to delete a file it should be rm -r "file name". (Linux Gurus correct me in im wrong) im no linux person, im a windows user.

Ok Ive got the G1 1.5 UK update. Ive got sipdroid on my phone it launches and everything. Ive registered an account on pbxes.org. After that i have no idea. Can someone please help me out with a step by step on how to use this app and pbxes
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jashsu:
You might not need to use pbxes.org at all, depending on who your SIP provider is. I use Gizmo5 and can connect directly to proxy01.sipphone.com just fine.

iptel did most of the development of Sipdroid, so it's understandable they would want to promote their service (like how Android on G1 is pretty Google-centric). However, it is afterall just a SIP client. Plug your SIP provider's info into sipdroid's configuration and see if it will connect.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasonGL:
Yeah how much do you pay for gizmo5 ?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jashsu:
It's like most other consumer SIP providers: free to make VOIP calls, but if you want to make a call to a PSTN number it will be billed per minute. You can see their call-out rates here and compare it with the rates of other SIP providers that offer a PSTN connection service.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jashsu:
Basic instructions on setting up Sipdroid posted here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=516861
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jashsu:
While I have to give iptel props for spearheading the whole sipdroid project, I really prefer to keep my SIP relationship between my sip ua and my sip provider. A middleman like pbxes is really not necessary from a personal user perspective and also potentially adds more lag to the call.

A lot of people seem to like the Betamax sip providers for their various free call schemes, but there are always caveats (max length of call being the primary one) and the account management ui sucks quite a lot. The worst part is the rather unsophisticated nature of the site and service give me the impression of being unreliable or unprofessional. If I could connect to callcentric with sipdroid, I would be using that, but until then I am sticking with Gizmo5/sipphone.

By the way, there are various other ways to get a free DID (inbound number). I'm using the popular ipkall service, but once Google Voice goes live it will be pretty much the king of all free DID services.

p.s. Please continue discussion on Sipdroid in my Sipdroid primer thread, to keep things in one organized place.

I wish to change my o2 xda atom's housing. It has gotten a lot of major scratches and I lost the covering of the back part. I hope you could help me with this. I reside in Pampanga, Philippines and I have no idea where I could find a shop that could fix my phone. Thank you! :)
[General Accessories] r04d5t3r:
i got the same problem with you. my atom have been kissed the ground about three times and there are cracks in the corners. I googled and found no answer for this. The only article I found is to repaint the cover. Yes it hides scratches, but it's too risky for me. Maybe you want to try that one? :D
[General Accessories] sapentak:
Sigh..

So did you paint the housing? I even want to change the screen itself because of the scratches. Where are you from, by the way?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cphilip:
Few days ago, my camera started giving me problems. I get green ish and pink ish distorted image all over. And when I snap, the picture taken is all green (or grey when seen in resco picture viewer).

Actually I hardly use the camera. Although the camera in my opinion is quite ok but not that great and furthermore, I prefer not to waste my battery power by taking camera shots with my Dopod u1000. i usually use my sony errisson k850i instead for taking pictures.

Therefore I can live with not having a camera on my Dopod u1000. But if anyone can enlighten me about why my camera can suddenly become like this I will find peace of mind.

Could it be the cmos sensor problem and if it is then how to fix it? Is it something I cannot do by myself but must go back to HTC service center?

Is it camera drivers problem? I know that the device must have some drivers in built such as the USB and microdrives drivers and that these drivers doesn't come with the rom upgrades.

I did disassemble the unit for other reasons but I suspect the problem was not because of the disassembling the unit. In fact if I remember well, there was something not quite right with the last camera shot I took even before I disassembled the unit. I clicked and the screen went dark for quite a while before the picture appeared.

Thanks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cphilip:
I found an interesting website about cleaning the camera sensor. Unfortunately, there is a negative side to all the methods recommended. That makes it look like it has to be left to professionals. But the problem is camera professionals will not know how to dismantle our Dopod u1000 pocket pc even though they know about digital cameras. they might damage other parts of the pocket pc. So, it has to be either done personally or it has to be done by HTC service department.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] rcf2:
I'm experiencing the same problem and quite sure that is a software problem. I swith the jpg compression from Super Fine to Fine and apparently the problem is gone. When I tried to get back to Sufer fine the problem restart. I would recommend that you reinstall the SW for image if nothing else help. if some one come out with another approach I would like to hear.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] rcf2:
cphilip, how did you settle the strap, using the speaker grilled door? it's strong enough? it's something that I miss in my Advantage.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cphilip:
Yes. The anthena casing is made of aluminium. Very strong. Not plastic. At least the casing of my Dopod u1000 is strong and I would believe the Athena is the same. My friend accidentally dropped his unit on to hard floor but the internal parts are perfectly protected by the strong casing. the plastic cover around the camera and the bottom battery cover are the weak parts and can be broken if not careful.

I would love to get the software drivers for the camera. When we buy laptop or desktop, we are usually provided with a set of drivers for the components connected to the main board. Unfortunately, for Pocket pc, we are not given a set of drivers (softwares) so that we can reinstall if anything gets corrupted. I doubt if the some of these drivers comes together with the ROM upgrades for the Athena. The ROm upgrades for Athena are mostly made up of the Windows Mobile operating system that is designed to work with the Athena correct me if I am wrong on this.

Even though I love Michy's WM6.1 ROM, I have already reflashed my unit with the Dopod windows mobile 6 stock rom and the camera is still the same.:confused:
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cphilip:
BTW, I used a simple string to go through the grill and when I manage to pull the string out from the other side, I tie the string to my strap. then I carefull pull the string to guide the strap through the grills.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] rcf2:
Thanks, I though about the same but was affraid the strap will eventually broken the case speaker grill. will do it now.

on the camera problem check on this fórum for the HTC camera and camera album software download and try them. it may bring your camera to live again.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cphilip:
Although the grill of the athena cover is strong But I wouldn't advise on swinging the device with your strap because the string of your strap might wear down and snap if you do it often enough. For me, I like to have the strap around my wrist when reading an ebook in public places because i feel some extra security just in case i accidentally let go of my Athena.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] rcf2:
did you get any progress on making your camera working?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cphilip:
rcf2

thanks for your concern and suggestions. unfortunately, i downloaded and tried the softwares but still not resolved. At the moment I am just using my U1000 without the camera and all is fine. if i need to take pictures i will just use my k850i.

But will definitely appreciate any new ideas that might help to restore the camera. Until than the other features of the Athena x7500 is provinding almost all my mobile computing needs. Thanks

All of the roms are equal and harmless to your device if you follow the correct flashing procedure. Try them out and figure out which one is the best for you.

Please delete thread

This has been asked several times before

There is no best ROM

The best ROM is the one fits you better for your needs and preferences

Please do some reading and find it for yourself

Try severals till you getthe one you like more

I was wondering if it was possible to un-root a G1. I'm honestly having the hardest time with it. I've downgraded to RC29 but when trying to add "RC33: (md5: f24b6c237775147cb4bc42efc2393973)" it doesn't want to add when ... I followed the steps on the step by step of adding it and it always hangs up and wont add when in recovery mode while pressing Alt-S to apply the update.

-Could this be a problem because for some reason while i was putting in the info into Telnet it hung up at the recovery.img portion. Sorry new about moding phones... Cars i know phones i don't :(

I'm in the LA area if anyone else is and is willing to on there free time show me how i keep screwing up. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] skiptomylou11:
All you gotta do is reflash the DREAIMG.NBH file onto your G1 and it'll update by itself, which means you'll be back to stock.

Edit: Are you by any chance unzipping the file? If you are, you have to leave it unzipped and just rename to update.zip in the SD card.
[G1 Android Development] imbonez9:
no i'm leaving it update.zip like the set by step said. And how do i refresh it? Im on yahoo messenger by the same name on here if your on this to help me. Thank You

-i rather keep it rooted and not have to revert to tmo's software but 4 hours and i feel like a total moron :(
[G1 Android Development] speoples20:
Why would you want to unroot your phone? But if you really want to then just flash back to RC29 then wait for the phone to get the OTA updates.
[G1 Android Development] imbonez9:
I don't want to unroot but im unable to add 1.5 like i intended on doing. So right now im stuck with rc 29 and not cuppycake like i want. I wanted to re-up back to 33 like it said in the posting i was using as step by step and it wont allow me to update :(

Questions on Android 1.5 and rooting

Some advice will be appreciated!

I just got my G1 a few days a go I was reading from the Official t-mobile web site that the up-grade for android will be out randomly to customers and their expecting that all of us customers will have it by the end of May

Now should I go thru all the work of rooting my G1 and getting cupcake or just wait for the upgrade?

Is there a difference between the two of them?

In the upgrade to 1.5 I don’t see or read anything about the apps getting install and running from the memory card does anyone about this?

Thanks in advance! :)
[G1 Android Development] Senorkabob:
Thats only available to rooted phones.

It all depends... If youre ONLY rooting to get cupcake, I would just say wait. See this link for some reasons why you would want to root and step by step instructions:

Interesting root problem

Hey guys, been playing in a cupcake irc channel, while we are all waiting for ota cupcake, helping half a dozen or so people root, and i came across one that i figured i'd post here, and see if anyone has any ideas. Obviously i don't have his phone in hand, so i can't be 100% sure that he isn't flubbing a step, but he seems compitent enough to follow simple instructions. He has a stock g1 pvt board with an 8 gig transcend class 6 sdcard, we have formatted this card many times, we get through the nbh file, installs fine, telnetd steps no problem, put the update.zip on the sd card and boot into the bootlader, and everything goes hey wire, it cant find nor install the update.zip, we have redownloaded different spl's to try, triple verified the files weren't named update.zip.zip. the only odd thing i found about his phone, was in one of the threads on here, people were checking the output of the mount command, and for some reason for his sd card his output is /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /sdcard vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0711,dmask=0700,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,utf8 0 0 where everyone esles is p0 or p1 i cant quite remember. anyhow any ideas or suggestions would be great and no he does not have another sdcard at the moment for us to get it done with

Thanks in advance

ps this is his output form the boot loader

The top says:

ok so now that the new official android 1.5 OTA update is about to come out. .. I have heard something about people in other parts of the world that have already got it. I swear somewhere I saw something about a security update or something, that if we upgrade to this version, then we will not be able to root/re-root our phones.

[G1 Android Development] Strapt:
what exactly is the SPL?

I did find this answer online:

A: Secondary Program Loader, typically, a second stage bootloader. Not a term actually used by Qualcomm for msm7k has a more complex boot path involving both CPUs. Initial/secondary program loader is usually in reference to nand/onenand boot setups where you have a very small initial bootloader (1k to 16k typical), that is just enough to load a much larger secondary bootloader. Often there is something that runs first, in-rom, on-die (this is true of omap and msm chips for example) that is responsible for getting the IPL loaded.

BUT that really just does not tell me a lot ...

and how do you know if its been changed? can you see a number somewhere on the phone?
