Below is the link for update guide at unlockr, It doesn't talk about the gold card, last week I root one of the T-Mobile G1 without a gold card using this guide, it was on 1.6, I don't remember what build....

http://theunlockr.com/2010/04/26/how-to-root-the-htc-g1dream/

If you follow this please apply all the files from this guide, only for the recovery you can take latest RA recovery rather then the mentioned in the guide....

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juangil:
on root explorer, make sure you click "mount R/W" (top button)

or, erase it first and then go back to your sd and "copy", go back to /system/app/ and "paste" (without exiting root explorer app)

boot loop on froyo

hi all,

i have a problem with froyo on htc dream (t-mobile`s 32b).

the problem is that it will reboot in a few seconds after i start my wireless connection ( after i get my ip address ).

tried with chromersmith`s rom and benbuchacher`s superF. the same problem.

so i guess that is not a problem with the roms. before that, i had the htcclay`s superbad 1.7 ( to which i can come back thanks to nandroid backup :) )

i have an 4gb microsd (class 4) with 3 partitions ( 2.5 fat32, 1gb ext3 and the rest is swap ). the recovery is amon-ra`s 170 in which i did all wipes before flashing the froyo rom ( the 2 mentioned above ).

any advices ?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juangil:
I've seen this a lot on froyo roms, but, I'm using superfroyo v2.6 Lite, and I also used v2.8.2 with out any issues

to be honest, I never have this problem and I dont have data plan, I always use wifi, so I thing it may be the radio.. I have 2.22.22.03, spl 1.33.2005

my advice is to start from scratch and erase android, secure and all files created on sd from previous roms
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yo9gnc:
i`ll give it a try. with a fresh new formated partitions.

i didn`t find specifications for that rom. are they for htc dream (t-mobile 32b) ?

you`ll see the message too late. it is flashing as i type :rolleyes:

flashed it. didn`t boot. so the question is still up :)

and i still raise the problem with rebooting froyo when the wi-fi is on. why is that and what should be done.

Last week, I flashed CyanogenMod 5.0.8.DS to my Patched 911 update HTC Rogers Dream. Everything was working great. I changed my preferences, downloaded some apps, etc. No problems whatsoever. However, today, I am unable to use my camera. When I click the camera widget or use the physical camera button, there is an error. (I've tried soft rebooting the phone, and also powering off and back on.) Basically, the program force closes with the following error message:

Sorry! The application Camera (process com.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

I can't think of anything that would cause this. However, on the base screen, I did move the "camera" and "gallery" icons in the trash. I then added the widgets to another screen (the far left screen). I also downloaded a barcode scanner. But then I uninstalled it after not finding it useful. Could removing the barscode scanner app have caused this? Other than that, I'm at a loss.

Do I need to delete everything and re-install the OS? If so, can someone direct me to how to do this? Or, are there any other suggestions on how to fix this camera issue?

stuck in flashing

Alright, i was trying to flash my rooted G1, running 1.6 firmware, dream_devphone-userdebug 1.6 DRC8314721 test-keys built, which i am really not sure is from which dev.

i am trying to work out telnet, but is not working, but the connection is refused (the double enter method just is googling telnetd on google)

i was trying to flash the recovery image but error comes there too (both in clockwork and RA)

do i have to root the phone again and start from scratch?

or is there any possible method that i can use to get cyanogen 5.0.8 on this one.

Hi, I'm using Hero 2.1 ROM on a pvt32b, it's working fine but there's only one thing.

HTC Sense (homescreen) sometimes closes so it restarts when I'm in another application for a period of time. So I tried to solve this to change the OOM value to -17 with autokiller (also tried advanced taskkiller and auto memory manager).

But it says it's a background application so the OOM value is only temperary.

How can I make it permanent or ignored 100% even by the android system?

Because HTC Desire doesn't have that problem.

cant flash new roms

Not sure if any of the last 2 roms i flashed caused this, but now whenever i flash a new rom it gets stuck at the tmo G1 screen, i dont think its bricked cuz i can get into recovery/fastboot and if i restore the roms i had on recovery they do work... I tried flashing the same rom i had on recovery with no luck, it only works via nan restore, any idea whats causing this?

I flashed htcclays superfly first but it didnt boot so i flashed CM 5.0.8 AlMod v3.0 FINAL"Beef Supreme" next, and it did boot but it crashed and upon reboot it got stock on g1 screen. thats when it started only accepting nanrestore roms, and new roms getting stuck @ g1 screen.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brendakov:
Hello all - I have returned to my G1 and want to update the ROM on it and have chosen Super D but am having some trouble.

The phone hadn't been updated in a long time - was running JF1.5 and was running pretty slowly so after reading several different ROM threads I opted for this one.

I don't care about any apps or data or anything that were on the phone as I wanted a fresh start.

The process I went through was to update my recovery to 'recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0', I already had 2.22.19.26i radio and presumed my SPL was the DangerSPL one as it ended in 2005 but I flashed both of them again anyway. Next I followed the install steps as on p1 of this thread - partitioned sd card (swap/ext3/fat32), wiped all options in recovery, installed the DRC83_base_defanged.zip base and then flashed SuperD111-blk.zip (ramhack version) over the top.

Everything seemed to go okay, it boots fine, shows fw1.6 in about phone along with the 2.22.19.26I baseband, kernel: 2.6.29.6-SuperD, mod: Super D-blk 1.10.4 BUT the home button doesn't work and neither does wifi (I can tick to enable it but it finds nothing out of 3 available wifiAP near by), I also get a lot of FCs when starting up com.android.phone (something along those lines) and a bunch of others during use.

Thinking I did something wrong (well I have somewhere!) or that it just didn't want to work with my phone I gave CyanogenMod 4.2.15.1 a whirl. Again it seemed to go okay but upon booting into the 'os' I still got a few FC messages and no wifi. So pretty much the same.

As I really wanted the Super D rom I thought I would give it another go. This time, after reading numerous threads, I followed the guide by shadowch31 (can't post URL) - boot to recovery, wipe all options, repaird sd ext, reboot to recovery, wipe all again, flashed SuperD193-blk-WGKv3beta.zip, flashed SuperD111-blk.zip, flashed gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip, rebooted and let it load - but it was still the same - a few FCs and no wifi and no home button functionality but also this time I didn't get the usual google setup/account sign in and don't have a market icon.

Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxtrickle:
I'd try wiping through fastboot. From command line "fastboot erase system -w"

This does a much more complete wipe than what you can do in AmonRa.

It might be worth repartitioning you SD too. I did that coming from CM 5/6. AmonRa can help you with that.

I currently go back and forth between CM6 and SuperD. I have the same set up as you (actually AmonRa 1.6.2 with SuperD) and both wifi and home work fine.

Also, maybe try upgrading your radio. You can find the link in my sig.

Also on that wiki page if you scroll up to "Installing a Custom Recovery Image", Cy recommends AmonRA 1.6.2 for CM 4.2., but I doubt that could be your problem.

Thank you for the reply.

I tried again: formatted and repartitioned the sdcard, followed the guide by shadowch31 - boot to recovery, wipe all options, repaird sd ext, reboot to recovery, wipe all again, flashed SuperD193-blk-WGKv3beta.zip, flashed SuperD111-blk.zip, flashed gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip, rebooted and let it load.

This time I didn't get and FC on starting and wifi works fine but alas the home button still doesn't work (it *does* work, just not when I flash this rom). Also no market installed??

With regards to the radio with me being in the UK I seemed to get the impression it was best for me to use the one I am using? Will I have any issues R.E. reception/data speed if I use the later radio?

If anyone can shed any additional light on this issue any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Failing that I will go ahead and try wiping via fastboot and other things that foxtrickle suggested!

It sounds like you've rooted and are trying to put droid x software on your phone. If that is the case I wouldn't recommend it. The droid x has a completely different hardware configuration to it and its CPU speed is a lot quicker than the 32b.

So I attempted to install Cyanogen 6 following the instructions on the wiki. Everything was uneventful up until installing danger spl and the 6.0 rom.

The steps I took were as follows:

Downgrade to RC29

install flash tool

Root with telnet

install recovery Amon RA

reboot

wipe cache

Install Radio 23.02 (home+back)

wipe cache

install danger spl (home+back)

wipe cache

install cyanogen 6.0 (home+back)

Then the phone will be stuck on the G1 loading symbol forever.

So retracing my steps and letting it load in between steps, the last thing that works is the radio update.

How long should I expect to wait for the G1 symbol to go away?

I have attempted this multiple times, and even tried an older radio version 26I as well as 5.0 (with both radio versions).

Nandroid makes a full backup image of you phone, (including apps if you backup with ext). That will include everything from your call log and texts to system software. If you install CM 6 and then do a restore, it will take you back to whatever mod you were using before.

To backup just your applications download an app like Titanium Backup or MyBackup. Titanium is free but has had some issues in the past with batch restores in CM6, but maybe straightened out by now. MyBackup has a trial and a paid version. The trial will get you through a backup/restore and include backing up settings and texts, etc.
