been having a weird issue with mounting to the pc, everytime i unmount from the pc via safely remove hardware, i get the pop up saying sdcard might be damaged..

i go to recovery and fix ext filesystem and also do the move apps to sd and everything works fine...
[G1 Android Development] Stigy:
Okay well I finally ran into my first problem since roting my device.

I just updated to 3.6.1 from 3.5.3 and the phone took a while at the G1 screen (normal for an update), but now is stuck on the Android screen. The weird thing is that the phone seems to be active in the background as I get a flashing green status light and if I hold the power button down for a few seconds I get a vibration as if the power off menu is popping up. Anyone else have this or any recommendations on what I can do to fix this?

I tried flashing the v1.3 recovery image from the console of v1.2, but it tells me flash_image is not a known command. I have a USB card reader in my laptop, but not sure where to go from here. I also tried to fix permissions from the recovery to no avail.

Your help would be greatly appreciated. I wouldn't mind doing a wipe since I can always just re-download my apps, but would like that to be my last resort.

** Please note that I can boot into the device fully without the SD card inserted. Not sure if that means anything or not, but just noticed it.

Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
If you're getting this notice in Windows, it's the Fat32 partition that may be messed up, not either of the Linux partitions. Windows can't read those partitions without special drivers.

You'll need to remove you sdcard from your phone (power your phone off 1st, then remove the card). Put the sdcard in an adapter then in your computer. Go to My Computer (or Computer in Vista), right click on the drive for your sdcard (the FAT32 partition, of course). Then look in the tabs for Error Checking (in VIsta, it's TOOLS, ERROR CHECKING, CHECK NOW). Run a check on the sdcard. Make sure AUTOMATICALLY FIX FILE SYSTEM ERRORS (or something like that in XP) IS checked. Then run the check. You'll likely get a message saying it has to be done on next boot. Click OK and get out of that dialog. Close all your running programs and reboot. When your computer boots, it will run a check and fix any errors on the card.

If you're doing this in Linux, someone else will have to help you.

Hope it works for ya.
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
Are you planning on adding HTC Music to your roms? :D
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
thanks for the tip.. running the error checker now..

dont only the g1 was gettin the error, but its probably from switchin the rom and not wiping the sdcard clean in both the fat and ext partition ( which is alot to do between flashing, in these newer builds)..
[G1 Android Development] asn1:
The fix permissions did not help. But I read here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=492818 that i may have to fsck my ext3 partition. I did so and it fixed my problem. I ran a check in Gparted from ubuntu. It was pretty quick and painfree.

Thanks for the help.
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
It usually happens from not ejecting (or unmounting) the card properly. You can get away with it 95% of the time, it's that remaining percent that will kill ya. Believe me, I've learned the hard way. It can sometimes happen when turning off your phone (although I think Cyan's recent builds cleanly unmount everything before shutting down), or it can happen when you're connected by USB cable as well. It's always a good idea to safely eject. You'll be glad you got in the habit.
[G1 Android Development] LazyGenius:
just wanted to let everyone know i got hero 1.4 working on cyan 3.6.1...
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
just followed the instructions to make swap file-

made swap partition linux-swap (primary partition), made script as in instructions - i have attached it. adb pushed it to system/sd

when i do #free it says 0 next to swap in all columns....

any ideas what i did wrong?
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
1.4 is running perfectly on Cyan's 3.6.1.

I installed, and within 5 minutes, I put my phone through a torture test.

Opened virtually every program, switched back and forth using the Home button. Installed a couple of widgets. Played music using the new widget. Snapped a couple of photos. Not a force close one.

E X C E L L E N T !

I can confirm this is working.

Anyone experiencing issues with phone not vibrating when receiving SMS?

Nope, sorry.
[G1 Android Development] bmk789:
I've been having this issue too. Just started with 3.6.1. Ill eject as recommended in ubuntu but after the "Preparing SD card.." message, I get the Damaged card message. It only reads the card again if I restart the phone. Haven't lost any data or anything, just seems weird.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
used instructions found in the auto swap thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=531988

worked perfectly.

thanks.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
wow the hero 1.4 theme does wonders...

i was just about to flash back to jachero 2.3.3 but im gonna put that on hold... this is like the best of both worlds.
[G1 Android Development] hyoomen:
You rebooted yet?

Seems like the important step some people are forgetting is a good ol' fashioned reboot.

edit: congrats on getting it working w/ diff instructions.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
yeah thanks- did the reboot. didn't help. No big deal. did it with different instructions... maybe i did the first script wrong....
[G1 Android Development] twosixths:
No music at all. My SD card shows donkey space (and it should have at least 6 gigs missing), so I'm just gonna re-sync and go to bed. Strange though...
[G1 Android Development] here.david:
I am on Ubuntu 9.04 AMD64 and no issues...other than went I tried some of the suggestions on checking sdcard speed, forget which. I got all kinds of problems until I disconnected the usb cable to the motherboard and then reconnected it.
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
Similar Issues

I've had this issue since RC33 (non-root) came out. Unfortunately, it does it on every computer; so, I think it's the phone itself. I even tried it after I installed JF, Dude, and now Cyanogen ROMs - same thing.

However, fortunately, I haven't lost any data and a card reader plugged into my computer works just fine for transferring information. The only bad thing is I have to shut off my phone each time I want to transfer files.

Anybody have any ideas/suggestions on why I can't look at my SD card while it's still in my phone? I think the phone might be defective.
[G1 Android Development] metallicant:
I feel the same myself. IMO nothing currently beats Cyan's mods with the added Hero theme. Very quick and very stable all around.
[G1 Android Development] lasseaagren:
Thanks for this advice, but I would rather solve it without tainting my phone with the Hero theme :)

I tried pushing the Vending.apk from the Hero though. Didn't help.

Best regards,

Lasse

what did you do wrong? how do i fix mine? i'm getting the same thing
[G1 Android Development] smithfb3:
I have also seen this problem for a while. It has no effect on me. After unmounting the G1 from the computer's USB I restart the phone anyway. Just a habbit.

See my reply above. Try the auto swap method. Sorry can't link it. On my g1 @ gym.

No offense intended but I think you should send people to read your thread before even attempting to use this file.

Again I don't want to offend you but I desided to search your name and found your thread. Others might not be as cautious as me, and could get into trouble with that link of yours.

The ramdisk will mount using the "auto" option, so either ext3 or ext2 will work.
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:

Ok. The HTC Camera and HTC keyboard work with the gloss theme. You must adb push. Camera settings force close but it takes and saved pictures.

yea phone kept rebooting after tried to app2sd gonna try update, so what method works. is it app2sd2 or app2sd

If you haven't rooted your phone you'll be unable to install this since It's not signed.

Both work. ive tried them all but I still prefer unionfs, way faster !

Why this rom can run the teeter?

I was try to push the teeter form other thread into /system/app (the rom is jf 1.5)

It still can't run

have any discussion can solve this problem? THX
[G1 Android Development] dixxa:
Maybe because of HTC framework ?
[G1 Android Development] thefunkygibbon:
has anyone had any problems with MMS? this isnt just a problem with this rom but i've had it since jf1.5

i just get the text message from tmobile (uk) saying i have a picture message to pic up and to get it online. used to work before on rc9.

any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] Stigy:
So you technically went from JF1.5 to CM3.2 with Marcus NEW Apps2SD and still have the large amounts of storage left?

I am assuming you just renamed to update.zip and did an ALT+W at the bootloader screen correct?
[G1 Android Development] dixxa:
no need to wipe As you can read in the first page.

Nothing is removed.

This IS JF rom with htc stuff in it.

The only removed thing is audio ressources.

What's works in JF works in that rom and even more that's all :)
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Yep, you need the HTC Framework in your BOOTCLASSPATH (ramdisk change) to run Teeter.
[G1 Android Development] naTTan:
Nice update, just install it from 3.1, i guess this is all some repeatative question, but i hope you don't mind answering me?

I plan to do future update of your update without a wipe, would that be ok?

The volume profile is automatically activated right? i don't have to do anything else then put my volume to max right?

Can yous suggest a method to save my ext partition and reformat my ext2 to ext3 and paste everything back? Using Vista here =(
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Yeah, it should be. If I do anything to the ROM which would require a wipe, I'll post about it.

Yes.

Sorry, no, I'm strictly a Linux user :) Maybe someone else can chime in here.

I just pulled the battery, wiped and everything has been working perfectly.
[G1 Android Development] danielherrero:
I ve installed the first version of this series and has the same problem. Probably is caused because this rom comes from tmobile? Its known the problem they had with adp 1.1 and programs that could activate "data on roaming" automatically. Maybe tmobile did a bug and the connections in roaming mode works buggy :(
[G1 Android Development] meistertom:
i guess if i had boot loop i would see the android boot screen, but this is not the case. just the damn t-mobile logo....

Hi.. I've just updated my G1 from 3.4.6 to 3.6.1.. With wipe and reformatting of ext3 partition on my SD.. I have one question.. Storage properties shows now 3 elements.. my Fat32 paritions, SD secondary and internal phone storage which has 72MB available free space.. Something was changed between releases ?? In previous release Internal phone storage was linked to my ext3 patition on SD...

I managed to fix the. Accelerometer issue by wiping, going to 3.4.6, then no-wipe update to 3.6.1. Seems the only variable I could isolate was an install of a newer aero theme. Hope this helps.

[G1 Android Development] namsir:
so can you tell us what did you do :D
[G1 Android Development] TheMan42:
Quick question guys,

Ive used virtually ever buil Cyan has released, had EXT2 previous to his builds and EXT3 since it was available in 3.2 or 3.3 (whichever). I know with 3.4.6 it had my SD fat partition showing, then my secondary, then internal phone memory.

However, with 3.6.1 it doesn't show the "secondary" catergory anymore, just the internal memory at 54mb which was what it was before 3.6.1 anyway. I have Hero 1.4 theme on here, my EXT3 apps to sd is still working right? I had no forcecloses and all my apps still dhow up, just a bit concerned, but perhaps the Hero 1.4 theme removed the secondary catgory?

Can anyone else confirm?
[G1 Android Development] geekoo:
I have a JF1.5.1 ROM with no fastboot and no changed Radios or SPLs on my G1.

I am now planning to flash either Cyanogen's or Haykuro's ROM. Can I install these without updating my radios or SPLs or fastboot/engineering bootloader?

What are the chances of screwing up my G1 while installing an engineering bootloader?

Also, I want Cyanogen's ROM but seems that it clocks the device at 528MHz whereas Haykuro's ROM doesn't use the full clock speed. In spite of this, is Haykuro's ROM as optimized and as good as Cyanogen's? Is there a comparison of features of cyanogen and haykuro so that I can decide which to go for?

Also, I am unable to figure out whether I can use NANDroid to backup my device. Everywhere it says that I need Fastboot to use NANDroid, and in turn for Fastboot, I need the engineering bootloader - which seems too risky to me at this moment.

Any tips/advice?

@theman42, I'm missing sd card secondary storage category too.

Went from the dude's cupcake v1.3beta12

flashed cyan recovery img.

flashed cyan 3.6.1

had sd card secondary storage 900mb

flashed htc hero theme

no more sd card secondary storage category...

all my apps are working, btw, no wipe going from the dude to cyan to theme

I'm guessing the theme made me lose the secondary storage category??? does it matter???

[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
engineering bootloader not risky- if you have had JF stuff in the past and rooted properly you should have it anyway- the only risky bootloader is Haykuros recent one. Load cyanogens pimped out recovery and nandroid away.

Haykuro hasnt made a decent build in ages. He has been rooting canadian devices etc lately. He stopped making ful builds when someone screwed him over. Cyanogen has taken things much further. The mods he has made leads the pack.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
it has the option. you can only try. If not DL a ubuntu disc and run it straight from cd, then use gparted.
[G1 Android Development] hamshu:
welp theres your problem. The problem is Hero Theme. The Hero Theme wipes out the Settings.xml and gets rid of Cyan's mod to it.

I decided to switch to cyanogenmod rom 3.6.1 after having used rogers virtudude v3 for almost a month. I find this rom blazing fast so many thanks to cyanogen for another awesome work.

I have only one major complaint:

how is it that the operator name does not show up when pulling down the info bar on top of the home screen? This is a weird choice to me: why a static ANDROID word should be better than the operator name you are running with or roaming with? Is there a way to fix this with terminal?

thank you everybody helping and cyanogen for his fantastic rom
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
read back a few pages- this is due to stericsons lockscreen mod... will be changed in the next version, although i personally like it- maybe it could be made customisable? Or say Cyanogen *provider* eg. Cyanogen T-mobile
[G1 Android Development] Stigy:
Is there a way to confirm or figure out which version of CM you have flashed to your device?

I just had to restore a Nandroid backup because my phone was stuck at the bootloader and it seems REALLY recent, but I am not sure which version I am at and I don't want to flash anything incorrectly.

Great Work!

Just unstalled 3.6.1, really fast interface response, all around great work!

[G1 Android Development] Stigy:
Alright ran into some issues so decided to wipe and reload.

When I do this do I have to do anything with my SD card because most of my apps seem to have stayed installed. I also have some issues with some apps not having an icon and then they force close when I try to run them.

Is this normal?
[G1 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
This is because these apps are probably protected and they install to the internal memory.

You will need to uninstall them and then redownload from the market.

I have a list of all my protected apps which I know I have to redownload when I wipe.

HTH.
[G1 Android Development] Stigy:
Okay but its normal to have most of the other apps already installed? I haven't wiped in a LONG time so its been a while from what I remember.

Is this because they are installed to the ext3 partition?

Only the apps without an icon I have to redwonload from the Market?
[G1 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
Yes, anything that is installed on the Ext3 partition will remain, so when you re-flash they are all still 'loaded' as such, pretty neat, especially as I have 290+ apps!

Yep, only the apps without an icon will need to be downloaded, however uninstall them first as the icons will remain as they get 'renamed' and won't link back to the new original program.
[G1 Android Development] dakiz71:
thank you 4 your reply sir, so 3.6.2 will fix it! cyanogen is a monster (thanx to stericson for his help too!)

is there really a further performance improvement in adding a swap partition? I now have a class 6 microsd with a fat32 and an ext3 partition and it seems to me this cyanogen 3.6.1 is already ultra fast and ultra stable! :eek:
[G1 Android Development] Stigy:
Perfect -- thanks so much!

That's so good to know, makes life so much easier. Do you have any problems with apps Force Closing after a wipe or rarely?
[G1 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
Very rarely, but one I do know which I have to download and re-install is the Text-to-speech library.

Don't know why, but it seems to be the only one which is pre-loaded that crashes now and again.

One I re-download, it's fine.
