Hey guys,

But I do not have a good reception, I just flashed to Dream image RC7 (it's a uk model) and no it has Radio 2.22.19.26i is that a correct radio for an UK phone? Or should I put 2.22.23.02 on it?

G1 Problems.

Hi everyone,

I have a G1 which I extremely love to death, and my friend rooted it for me, so it's like super awesome.

It has Cyanogen Mod on it and I love it, HOWEVER the past week I was walking and I decided to check a contact number bla bla bla.

Lon story short, My phone suddenly started acting REALLY stupid, It was super slow all APS fail and need to force close, and even worse, the battery dies REALLY fast.

Nways so my friend told me I needed to boot into a recovery, the problem is, for some reason I cant, Not with the Power+Home nor the PC way.

Apparently it is corrupted or just got erased.

So I have no idea what to do, and since my friend is not here anymore I cant ask him, so I have no idea what to do, although I did found something that "sounds" reasonable:

Looks like your recovery got erased...you have two options....

1. Setup fastboot on you PC, flash a new recovery from fastboot. this is the best and safe method...

2. flash a recovery from terminal...you might have to do this step multiple times...flash recovery...power off the phone, power on holding home button and see if you have working recovery...if not restart the phone and flash again...

I would go with 1st option.

Here, the problem is I have NO idea o how to do that...

Some orientation here would be nice, I just want mi G1 working like it was before :'(

Thanks and please help me(:

If you remove the battery from the G1, while the phone was on and APPS2SD was enabled, can that corrupt the ext4 partiton?

So I want to Root my G1 but I want you to show me the easiest way with video if is possible.

This is what is write in the settings(If is important):

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupaKid:
@ cro0w: 'Sup, mate! Quick question: Have you reinstalled another Rom? If you haven't go check out the Roms available in the Rom Bible Thread (a few threads above this one). Whichever Rom you choose should have instructions as to how the Rom should be installed. Once you get your new Rom, you'll need to go through your Recovery (I use Clockwork Mod) to install the Rom.

Also, don't forget to install anything pertaining to the level of Rom you chose, meaning the right radio; Google Apps if you need them; and so on.

I had the same problem when I rooted my G1 for the first time. A good friend of mine, who already had a rooted G1, told me what I'm telling you, and the problem was resolved.

Hopefully this sheds some light on your dilemma!

Here's my question:

Just got that awesome Cyanogen 6.1 RC1 Rom for the G1! Thanks to those chaps at Cyanogen for their hard work!

Now I added SetCPU for overclocking and noticed the new available frequencies above 576MHz.

I was wondering, is there any possible way for the G1 to function at a frequency above 576MHz?

I tried both the 595 and 614MHz frequencies, and my G1 would freeze and reset everytime. Then I unistalled and reinstalled SetCPU, then reclocked back to the more familiar 576MHz. The G1 is running fine now.

G1 Hard Shut off after updating

Hi all. I have been playing with a G1 that I had previously rooted and installed Cyanogen 5.0.8

I attempted to wipe and flash Cyanogenmod 6.1.0RC1 with the 2708 Kernel using these instructions and files http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139

Everything appeared normal however after the first boot, there was just a blank screen with the notification bar doing "Preparing SD Card" After that was completed, there was a long vibration and the phone shut off. Subsequent reboots yielded the same.

I then downgraded the radio and SPL and attempted to install the stock Cyanogenmod 6.1RC1 and had the same issue.

I have searched the forums and can't seem to find an answer.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austriker27:
Alrighty so I have been tooling around here for a bit.. I rooted my phone last summer and am trying to find the best (subjective I know, ready further for my idea of the best) ROM for the G1 because I don't have time to keep flashing after a ROM starts to have issues..

I am an every day user of the G1 and I love it. I love being able to have email 24/7, especially for my job. Although I have blocked data because I am nearly always around WiFi. Thus I am looking for a fast rom that is not really flashy. I have tested out a few but there always seems to be a bug. Like Biffmod has been very fast but recently my battery has been dying after a max of 4 hours of light usage (little wifi, few texts, maybe one call).. I am hoping to go with 2.1 for the extra features but might have to stay with 1.6 for the reliability.. My favorite so far as been SuperD but it is a bit minimal as it is only a 1.6 ROM..

Thus can anyone lead me in the direction a fast, reliable, battery fiend of a ROM??

Thanks!! happy turkey day too

Give it a shot.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
Hehe I remember you! I helped you root your phone lol you kept on having issues with the recovery not showing up. I second chromatic 3.9.1.1, it's themed very tastefully, has very decent battery life, and performs well.

Another very good option is the official AOSP 2.2 OTA rom by ezterry. You do have to install a newer radio and SPL through fastboot, but the performance is very good and battery life is great as well. It has the equivilant of a RAM hack from donut since the new radio and his kernel frees up 15MB of RAM. Both are very good choices.

New to rooting, flashing, and all this other jazz.

So i spent hours last night getting google market working on my new android tablet. and it works and made me feel like i could tackle a phone now.

with that out of the way here's what i have.

I have a friends T-Mobile G1 that someone has already rooted, and flashed however i'm not sure what method was used or if it matters. My Friend isn't happy with the rom that is on there it's too slow and eats batteries. so he wants me to see if i can put a different rom on here for him. I was looking at Biffmod V2.0 it seems to be a very light weight froyo rom and looks snappy in the video reviews.

So does it matter how the phone was rooted before i start trying these steps to flash a new rom?

If yes how do i find out what i have going on w/ the device before i get started?

thanks in advance for your time and consideration in helping me with this.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austriker27:
Hi bigwooly,

well I am not a expert, but I think it does not really matter how it was rooted, just that it was rooted so you can flash another rom to it.

As far as changing the ROM it does matter which radio and recovery mode you are running. This you can figure out by going to the about phone part under settings I think. You need to check which radio you need for the biffmod 2.0 otherwise it might kill your phone.

other than that it is pretty simple to reflash the phone. you just need to start it up in recovery mode (hopefully you have a newer version. I would recommend RA_recovery) by holding down home when pushing the red button on the right. then you need to wipe the system (again many ways to do this, search for super_wipe). Oh and before this you should have put the ROM (in the form of .zip file) on your SD card. Then in recovery mode after wiping you flash zip from SD card, click on the zip file to flash and let her run.. Make sure you do have a full battery b/c you don't want the phone to die in mid-flash.. That is the basics, each rom (like biffmod) has different specifics so make sure you read their pages beforehand.

Hopefully that makes a little bit of sense. Make sure you do plenty of reading on here.

Battery Problem:

So I have had a problem with my battery life.I originally kept thinking it was the ROMs I was flashing. Basically my battery life was neurotic. I would get 5 hours one day and 2 the next (this morning my battery, charged fully over night, lasted from 10-1230 with minimal usage. I was playing scrabble for maybe a total of 10 minutes between classes over wifi. Other than that it had no data usage, no phone calls and no texts = pathetic)..

What can I do to solve this problem? Should I wipe the battery stats?? COuld it be a sucky battery? I bought my g1 off of ebay last summer and so I don't know how old it is. I do know it says htc g1 replacement battery on it, so it might be a generic one..

Thanks!! This is very frustrating, I can't even use the phone b/c I am scared the battery will die.. So annoying..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxtrickle:
Take the battery out and set it on a flat surface. If it does not lay flush on either side, then it's time for a new one. By the sound of it though, you probably will need it. Did this just start happening? Did you install any new apps that maybe running in the background constantly?

I bought these about 6 months ago and they work quite well and it's pretty cheap: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030BLEPQ/ref=oss_product

Thus I will take your advice and get those from amazon.. Thanks for the help!!! I have had more bloody problems with this phone, but I still love it!

Hi,

A little background for you... I bought the phone second hand and it already had a version of Cyanogen installed (a slightly older version).

I installed the latest and all was good with the phone. I left the phone for a few weeks until xmas where I powered it on to make sure all was well before wrapping it for my Dad on xmas eve.

Something wasn't right with the phone, not sure what happened.

So I tried to reinstall the ROM, after that i was getting all sorts of issues. The phone for a start was pressing random keys (mainly '3' if that makes sense).

I went all the way back to RC7 and the phone updated during the night it updated to Android 1.6.

I've tired various ROM's after that and seem to have problems with them all. Cyanogen 6.1 seemed to be the best but wifi just said 'error'.

So I read everything I could and installed a new SPL (danger) and radio. I updated first the radio then the SPL.

After rebooting it gave me the option to wipe (see below), so I did.

I'm now unable to do anything but what is listed below.

I have the following:

DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA11000)

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

I'm having problems recovering the phone. When I power up using the camera button fastboot flashes down a list of files it's looking for and fails to see the DREAIMG.nbh and I get the option:

HBOOT

<BACK> FASTBOOT MODE

If I power the phone on with the home key pressed I get the following:

CLEARSTORAGE

DELETE ALL USER DATA?

<ACTION> YES

<POWER> NO

When I select clearstorage I get:

Clear...

done.

<SEND> RESET DEVICE

No matter how many different files I try to flash in HBOOT it won't recognise any of them.

I know the SD card works as I use it in my Galaxy S. I always fresh format the card to FAT32 before attempting the NBH flash.

I've searched high and low for an answer to the specific issue but can't find a solution that works.

Any help would be much appreciated as I want to give my Dad a working phone!

Many thanks,

Gary

2) enter fastboot and run 'fastboot flash nbh orange-1.58.73.2.nbh'

3) wait for the entire nbh to flash

4) boot into the bootloader again (it will be an engineering SPL 1.42.2000)

5) You can now re-flash the radio/hboot/recovery via fastboot that you wish to have installed.

Sapphire (MT3G)

1) Download SAPPIMG.nbh

2) enter fastboot and run 'fastboot flash nbh SAPPIMG.nbh'

3) Continue as per one click (flashreq) root instructions: http://www.getyourdroidon.com/wiki/i...One_Click_Root

and then flash radio, recovery & Spl of your choice, I will do the new Radio/Spl to take advantage of the extra Ram
