THANKS! Sometimes it's tough to search answers to specific questions.. Thanks for the help!
[G1 Android Development] youneek:
I've been getting people sending private messages asking questions that are answered on the front page of this tutorial. There's no other tutorial that covers all the steps with the shortcut commands. Even if you have done some of the steps, READ THE FIRST PAGE TOP TO BOTTOM. If you follow the steps EXACTLY, everything will work.

I am currently running JacHero 2.7.3 thanks to the steps on this thread. Thank you for the directions and I would like to let you know everything went smoothly.

Although, I have been reading other posts and have notice that everyone has been saying that you shouldn't go over 32mb for linux-swap. And I remembered that this directions told me to make that 128mb. I am very confused and worried on what will happen since it is OVER 32MB.

Now, I just want to know if theres a way I could change the partition of my fat32, ext2, and linux-swap? without ruining my phone? since I am already running a hero rom.

Or should I just leave it alone since everything seems to be fine...??

Please help, any reply would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

UPDATE:

so i figured out how to.

I deleted rm 1 rm 2 and rm 3

repartitioned and then installed hero rom again.

got it to work.

what would have happen tho if it stayed on 128mb?

Currently Running:

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

ROM: JACHero 2.7.3

Radio: 2.22.19.26I

Recovery: Cyanogen's 1.3.1

folowing this guide

at this part

15.) Power off the phone. Once it's off press the home and power button until the phone turns back on.

16.) When the yellow sign appears click alt+s on the keyboard. When it's finished hit Talk, Menu and Power to reboot the phone.

when doin number 16, the yellow bar gets to half way full then the phone reboots its self?

powering with home and power, to get into console i have this message at the top . . E:Can't open /cache/recovery/commad

any1 help?
[G1 Android Development] youneek:
I have messed around with numerous settings for swap. I now use 64 and in a week I'll probably change it again. You can slowly damage your SD card if you use it too much so people think it's worse to set the number higher. In reality "from what I have read online" your phone only uses the swap when the phone runs out of ram. If the phone only needs 32mb then it wont use more than that. If there are long term side effects, I haven't seen them yet and hero works better for me with a higher setting...

having a problem flashing JACHeroSki 2.7.4

whats good yall...im in the process of flashing this new rom and every time i try an update to it i get what u see in the picture....i got the 3 partitions..im using a 1gb sd card...everything is up to date as far as SPL and radio...what am i doing wrong?? help would be greatly appreciated..
[G1 Android Development] srt4mn:
Same issue for me today when I tried. Anybody know what we did wrong?
[G1 Android Development] Putrid186:
Thank god for youneek. best all-in-one tutorial i've seen. The only things i would add would be a note not to use the (Call+Menu+End) key reset unless explicitly told so. very important when applying updates from recovery page.

One thing i noticed as well, whenever loading new images from the recovery page (such as the radio and SPL) after rebooting using home+back, it comes right back to the recovery page with the line "Formatting CACHE" and you have to use home+back a second time to boot.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
Great instructions. I have a freind that wants there g1 rooted, gonna try this method, might be easier following these instructions without a pc nearby, and just putting the files that are needed on a sdcard
[G1 Android Development] heavenlydemonic:
After downgrading to RC29 and going through the Root process, the next step (according to the instructions) is to install Hard SPL image then Cyanogen's recovery image, are you saying to install the new Radio and SPL BEFORE Cyanogen's? Because after I folow these steps:

11.) Run the root.apk app and click Download IMG and HardSPL files

12.) Go to the home screen and open your keyboard. Hit "Enter" pause a second then hit it again.

13.) Type "telnetd" in all lowercase minus the quotes. Ignore the search that comes up and press enter again

14.) Run the root.apk file again and click protect your root. This part roots your phone. If there are any errors then the telnetd wasn't running. Go back to step 12 and try again.

15.) Power off the phone. Once it's off press the home and power button until the phone turns back on.

16.) When the yellow sign appears click alt+s on the keyboard. When it's finished hit Talk, Menu and Power to reboot the phone.

I get the same error and cannot install cyanogen's recovery image... I get the same E:Can't open /cache/recovery/commad and the phone doesn't seem to be rooted, as anytime I type SU in the terminal I get a permission denied...
[G1 Android Development] sippyboi:
i got it workin now..running JAChero 2.7.3 i wasnt puttin the hero rom on my sd card after it looped a couple times....right after i flashed the SPL i had to take the sd card out and put the rom on it..flash it an it started right up...

also i saw a video flashing the hero rom without partitioning..just using swapper...is that really possible??
[G1 Android Development] StaggerLee123:
order of install steps?

I've decided to take the plunge with rooting and installing a custom ROM, most likely JFv1.51_CRB43-US to start with.

Right now the phone is on build CRC1, with baseband version 62.50S.20.17H_ 2.22.19.26I

Questions:

-Will rooting with RC29 also revert the radio to an older version?

-reading all your comments on install troubles, it looks like this is the install order for needed success:

0. RC29

1. recovery

2. radio

3. custom ROM

4. SPL

Thank you
[G1 Android Development] youneek:
I flashed a friends phone and tried to re-create the issues everyone has brought up.

1.) After you have root if you install the terminal app and type su, it will still say you don't have permissions. Just keep following the instructions.

2.) The triangle exclamation mark means you skipped the step where you were supposed to install cyanogens recovery image. You just have the default recovery image so press alt+l and you will see the commands you can enter (like alt+s to apply an update).

3.) after root and you go to recovery you will see E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command. That means you just rooted the phone and hopefully let it complete its multiple reboot sequence. Just continue on with the tutorial.

4.) Don't make up your own methods for rebooting your phone. If there is an option on the screen like home+back for restarting the phone, use it. This usually completes something you just did.

5.) I only got errors during installation of hero when I didn't install the correct radio and SPL first.

6.) DON'T CHANGE THE ORDER OF THE TUTORIAL unless you already did a step (don't re-root your phone if it's already rooted and you are running a different rom already).

Is there not an update yet? My G1 was just stolen a few days ago and I'd like to re-root my new phone but only if there's been updates. Some bugs started getting to me with the original root-access.

Also, can someone explain to me each of these new "hacks"?

update fails while trying to root

Downloaded the DREAIMG.nbh from the link in your instructions, but the update bails out about 75% of the way through, with the message "UPDATE FAIL".

Is there another place to DL the RC29, as I suspect the one your post links to is perhaps corrupted.

Thanks!

can we skip 1 step and actually use the recovery.img file in the zip folder for the cyanogen recovery saves sometime i guess i just want to ask before i do it

when we are rooting the phone jus use the cyanogen recovery instead of the first one?
[G1 Android Development] mark.andreas2:
very new to this

I followed the instructions and I am now rooted and running Jac 2.73. I have 3 partitions: fat32, ext2, and linux-swap. Auto apps2sd doesn't seem to work, does this mean that I need a new partition? if so what? And how do I get it? Thanks..
[G1 Android Development] chevycowboyusa:
Directions

Check the first page of Jac's thread of the rom your using, it should list requirements for apps2sd. If it requires ext3 read cyanogens thread for his recovery image on first page about upgrade_fs.
[G1 Android Development] chevycowboyusa:
Step 1?

If youre asking about skipping copying the DREAIMG.nbh and doing the things to get root first, it's best to follow the steps so you dont brick your phone.

I read in another thread that a new recovery image might have the ability to root an unrooted phone. but its talk, and or may be in the works.
[G1 Android Development] youneek:
When doing the partitions, the last part had you type upgrade_fs so you should already be on ext3 if you followed all of the steps. How did you verify the apps aren't on the SD? You wont see them using a file manager because they are in the ext partition.
[G1 Android Development] mark.andreas2:
no ext3 partition. I know because my internal memory keeps dropping when I download an app. But I didn't do the last update_fs part, so I guess I need to start over from scratch with the partitions then, rite?
[G1 Android Development] chevycowboyusa:
upgrade_fs

Reboot into recovery (cyanogen just released his recovery 1.4)

go to console

press enter

type upgrade_fs

type reboot recovery

reflash your rom

good luck! :)

[G1 Android Development] PeDe7:
excellent post... now I might actually root my g1 but can anyone tell me which hero rom is the best so I don't waste time flashing a bad rom
[G1 Android Development] DirectMatrix:
The ROM choice is completely up to you. People's signatures are also a place to see what people have. There is a great database located here that you check out. It all depends on what features you are looking for and I would suggest that you try several before deciding on any particular one. If you would like a similar feel to Tmob cupcake look then I would stick to thedude, cyanogen or JF. If you want something completely different then go with a Hero build. One thing I learned after starting the rooting process about a month ago is you can never do too much READING! If you hate to read and learn new stuff about this kind of thing, then perhaps the rooting scene is not for you. You have to decide how far you want to get into it but just make sure you READ, READ, READ.....
[G1 Android Development] nightwolf2k5:
I tried to install the new radio (by pressing the home and power button and doing an ALT+S).. i get the error message..

Did you install cyanogens recovery image? Did you follow the root instructions. If you did not follow the instructions, don't post questions.

Is your memory card already formatted as fat32? What step are you on.

hi...i am also getting the same error message "Not Allowed" my build no. is also the same as elzee.Mine is a 1GB micro SD card. Still stuck at the first step when u have 2 reboot and hold power and camera button together.

[G1 Android Development] Rmag37:
I am planning on installing cyanogenmod 3.6.8.1. would i install it after jachero or in place of it?
[G1 Android Development] youneek:
You can install whatever rom. Cyanogens is WAAAAAAY faster. Hero lags but you get hooked on the features. If you choose Cyanogen, I would recommend AHOME as a nice interface app. When everyone starts integrating donut, it'll even the playing field as far as interface is concerned.
[G1 Android Development] Rmag37:
Thanks for the answer. I will take a look at ahome.
[G1 Android Development] GigiSpligi:
hmmmm is it ok to make a swap-partition of 128mb? I thought it should be max 32mb :/
[G1 Android Development] youneek:
Supposedly 32 is best but I have tested tons of different sizes. 32 and 64 work best for me.
[G1 Android Development] biffsniff:
ok I am having a hard time with the partitioning. Ive already got cyanogen installed and all that, but I cant get the apps2sd feature working correctly. Everything works until the step where you enter "upgrade_fs". When i type this, it tells me

e2fsck 1.41.6 (30-may-2009)

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2: clean 11/891184 files, 111936/1782122 blocks

tune2fs 1.41.6 (30-may-2009)

setting maximal mount count to -1

setting interval between checks to 0 seconds

creating journal inode:

/sbin/tune2fs: Can't read on block bitmap while trying to create journal file

So i just ignored it and rebooted my phone, and it turned on and worked fine, all the apps went to SD. The problem is that anytime i reboot my phone after that, my phone wont start with the sd card inserted. It will go the the android flashing screen and stay there forever. If i take it out, it will start, but then the apps2sd feature doesnt work because it doesnt start with the card in. Plz help, total noob here

[G1 Android Development] dixon_coxon:
I have had this ROM for about a week now and I love the UI, the only problem I'm experiencing is sporadic freezing and extremely slow responses (sometimes) when trying to do anything. Other times the UI works fine. Any advice on how to resolve this? or should I run the lite version? Has any one experienced this on JACHero 2.7.4r2?

This is one of those Love/Hate relationships, I love it but it drives me nuts sometimes when you just want to place a call and it takes about 5 minutes to eventually dial...... but you realize you tapped a different contact/number in the call log milliseconds before the intended number.
[G1 Android Development] biffsniff:
nvm my post, i figured it out
[G1 Android Development] willworkforart:
Now that Cyanogen's 1.4 recovery allows you to flash any zip from your sd, you can actually flash the Radio, SPL, and reflash the current build really easily.

1. Download all 3 files to your sdcard.

2. Boot into Recovery

3. Select Alt +b - update any zip

4. Select the radio zip file - let it do its thing

5. Select Alt + x to go to console

6. Type 'reboot recovery'

Do the same thing for the spl, then the rom. (instead of 'reboot recovery' after the rom, just do 'reboot')
[G1 Android Development] youneek:
Great Idea! Have you tested it to make sure there aren't any issues?

When typing in the recovery img comands i get "Permission Denied" as soon as i Type "SU" ? any help appreciated id really like to try a new recovery img

Im also having probs with partitioning.

I have a 2GB card (2033MB) and I'm typing

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 1489

and getting back:

Warning: You requested a partition from 0.00B to 1489MB.

The closest location we can manage is 512B to 65.5kb.

Is this still acceptable to you

Even if i reply yes, then i get:

Error: Partition too big/small for a fat32 file system

I've tried formatting the card so it's completely empty, but I still get the same result.

Any ideas where I might be going wrong?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Goog1e Phone:
So Sorry to post this if it's already been answered, but to be honest, I am completely lost.

I had the G1 phone for awhile and loved it. I was very familiar with rooting, flashing, etc. For some reason, I cannot get my MyTouch 3G to work.

I got the Google ION which was given out at the Google Conference in SF. My question is, how do I flash the recovery image and get the Hero Rom? From the other post, I heard that you need to flash the recovery image first and then apply the Hero Rom without rooting. How do I do this? Any step by step tutorial? Don't I need to root my phone?

Please help, thank you in advance. Any help will be greatly appreciated. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] theillustratedlife:
you get fastboot from htc.com and the recovery image from Smartphone France.

then, you ought to be able to do this with your phone plugged in:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

put the ROM you want on the sdcard as update.zip (use adb push or just drag-n-drop in Finder/Explorer). restart the phone while holding the home key, and use the trackball to navigate the recovery menu.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Goog1e Phone:
Thanks for your help...just a quick question, how would I enter this code "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"? Would I have to use adb from my computer?

I rather use Amon_RA's recovery image. So I need to type "$fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.1.1G.img" instead. Would I have to use adb?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Geniusdog254:
That command is correct, except you don't use ADB. ADB is the Android Debug Bridge, it only works when the phone is booted, it is used to give commands and access the Android filesystem on your desktop/laptop. Fastboot is when you enter fastboot mode so you can flash .img files from your PC or .nbh files from your SD.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Gimpeh:
So you wouldn't type ADB in the command prompt but you would type Fastboot?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yochaigal:
My wife got an ION.

What I did was follow the "root my htc magic" wiki from android-dls.com

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting

This allowed me to install a new recovery image.

I then installed the ion rv2 rom from haykuro, but the wifi wouldn't work for me. eventually, i installed the ion-r2-sapphire rom (look in xda, or PM me). Or haykuro's google code page.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mac208x:
If you have the developer edition you dont have to do anything, just put the rom as update.zip into your memory stick, go into recovery i think it was home plus power and update it thats it.

hi there,

this is probably the stupidest thing ive done in my life, but maybe, just maybe someone has a solution.

i was pulling my htc pharos appart, because i recently bought a new lcd screen and phone housing and was going to put it all back together. anyway i figured that this huge black sticker allong the back was probably covering up some screws, so i went ahead and ripped it off.

next time i turned the phone off i had no signal, so from what i can gather its actualy the phone radios aerial that i pulled off (smacks self on the forehead again)

so what im asking is, does anyone know of ways to fix this? (i know its a stupid quesion, and my phone is proably scrap now, but im really hoping theres something that i can do to save it.)

thank you so much,

kirk

I have searched the site for the modifications that I am after, but cannot quite find what i want for my Touch Pro.

1. Calendar tab on the TF3D menu

2. Modify existing Internet tab to display the coloured 'globe' - currently just a list of favourites.

3. Modified comm manager (keeping existing icons) so that 'switches' are htc green and not red and the highlight focus is htc green and not vodafone red.

4. I think it's the *.tsk theme to change so that highlight focus is htc green and not vodafone red on enlarged menus but grey else where retaining the black bars top and bottom with white text.

I am currently using the LantisOS TF3D with HD contacts (cfc compressed) - have tried installing other 'fixes' to give the calendar tab but it tries to over write the contacts and history tab which I already have and screws it up. I have also tried various other methods of getting what I want, see here

I do not want to change the ROM for various reasons so I am offering beer money or more to whoever wants to take this on.
