Hi mate it looks like your device is faulty a hardware fault,

if you have another bettery you can try, don't know what else to suggest,

jaytheguru

I even cleaned the Registry/Storage right after the ROM Update.

your comment above in red, there is a reg setting that tells the system, If this is the first boot, So if your reg cleaning is resetting this to 0 then a soft reset will cause a hard reset, be very carefull cleaning/changing the regestry,

i have flashed my o2 xda II with this great rom of yours swampy395 and all is fine.

the one thing i have found is that the video record option in camera is faulty i see that others have mentioned this and i wonder if u have or anyone has a idea for a fix or workaround or even a update for the whole rom.

i see this is ver 1.20 how about a ver 1.30 with all the fixes?

:rolleyes:

keep up the good work!

Video camera doesnt work. Also, in the picture of the first post I can see Radio Version 1.17, but on my ppc, after upgrading it says 1.14.

So I believe that the version available here for download is not the newest.

Any help?

Hello!

This ROM was the first i tried, when i became a XDA-member, and afterwards i have tried almost every WM6-rom there is on this forum, and i must admit that this ROM is the fastest, best working ROM there is!

Good work Swampy!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knightsofwar210:
Okay I've been trying to figure this out for 4 and a half hours now, I've downgraded from cupcake to RC29 and now I'm trying to root it, I've tried using this guide - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442480

But when I get to here -

"What To Do Now That You Have Root

Now that you have root, you will want to apply "Hard SPL" to your phone. HardSPL is what will allow you to apply flash images from other regions (like UK on US phones, and vice versa), create full backups of your phone, install the latest build from the Android source, and usually resurrect your phone if it is "bricked". You have already downloaded the file to your SD card, so now you can apply it.

1. Power off your phone.

2. Start up in recovery mode by holding home and pressing power.

3. You will now enter recovery mode. You should see an exclamation.

4. If you do not see a menu on screen, press Alt-L to show the menu.

5. Press Alt-S to apply the update from the SD card.

6. After the update is complete, hold Home and press Back to restart.

"

I go into recovery mode but all I see are lines and I try alt-f and alt-s but nothing happens.

Then I tried this guide - http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Quick_Root

I get stuck here -

"# In the terminal you opened earlier (with root access) Enter the following commands in to flash the modified recovery

* mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

* rm -f /system/recovery.img

* flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_testkeys.img

"

When I type the second line of commands it says not found or something similar so I'm pretty much stuck and can't figure out how to root RC29, I would really appreciate your help.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
Sounds like you didn't flash the recovery image... Are you sure you placed it on your phone and followed the instructions to flash it? the flash_image recovery recovery.img command. Anyways, I have to run to work, I"ll help you more when I get back if you haven't figured it out by then. good luck.

this is part 1 of 3. this dudes videos helped me from stock to root. to another cupcake rom. to jachero rom. it toook me like abt a day to do everything. but then after that it shouldnt take long to start uploading various roms =)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirlantzz:
Well I've had my Original (incorrect radio flash method), 1st Warranty replacement (keyboard too lose for my liking), 2nd Warranty replacement (sending back due to 'ASDF' keys stick), all flashed in past 2 weeks. I've almost memorized the stupid commands. The "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_testkeys.img" had me puzzled on this one. But I've figured it out as the short method vs changing directory.

I think your issue is the last part of copying the recovery image to the phone. I've always used the following:

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# cd sdcard

# flash_image recovery recovery.img

# cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img

seems Like you're instructions kind of combine the 3rd and 4th and skips the cat command, so i have no ideal how yours is getting the file to the actual phone. I may be wrong, but just looks half done. It may be as simple as copying the image to the /system path with the 'cat' command. Good luck with it tho.

It just won't copy that img file, because I still get the old color boot menu. Nothing I do works.

Oh and I read somewhere I have to upgrade to the latest radio too, where do I get it and install it?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knightsofwar210:
I finally got it to work I was pushing power and camera instead of power and home.

Where do I download the latest rooted build?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Well, that's your choice :)

JF 1.51 is just a plain cupcake rom with root

Haykuro's 6.0 sapphire port is very nice, like JF 1.5 but with HTC Dialer, Camera ect

Cyanogen's build is like JF but more heavily modded, has auto Apps2SD and a few other modifications.

Then there's the Hero builds if you want to be adventurous.

Just have a look in the development section and see which best suits your needs :)

Be aware the Haykuro's ports, Rogers and Hero all require haykuro's SPL (which needs the new radio or you will brick).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knightsofwar210:
Okay well I downloaded Cyanogen's build, so what are the features and how to use them?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Just read through the thread. Most are automatic optimization mods (CPU scaling, audio mods) which just make for a nicer experience. There are also others like the HTC Camera app which is a vast improvement over the stock camera app. APPS2SD is also atomatic so all you need is a second partition on your card formatted to ext3, so you will have much more room for market apps.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
Most of Cyan's features are under the hood. It boosts your CPU speed from 384mHz to 528mHz

You can also use a swap partition to speed it up even more (like a paging file/ram)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=531988

You will have to partition your SD card with a swap extension to do this. If you create another partition as an ext2, ext3, ext4 partition, Cyan has a script that will automatically put your apps on the SDcard

If you want the above, you will have to format like this

fat32, ext, linux-swap

inthat order

there are threads that will help you with partitioning

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534714

^ very useful for me. Requires cyans recovery

note the ext partition shouldnt be larger than 1.5gb and the swap partition shouldnt be larger than 32 mb (24mb recommended, but im to lazy to repartition mine)

note swap will reduce the life of the sd card (though you will have probably moved on by that time)

Also try out the HTC apps that it comes with, such as the camera and keyboard (keyboard can be used by long pressing on an input area, selecting input method and chosing "Touch Input")

You can also install HTC's Music app from here

Thats all i can think of other than themes. Tehre are others i intentionally left out that you can find yourself after you get more experience with everything

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=475917
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
use "cp" instead of "mv"

note that /system/sd only exists when you have apps2sd (atleast i think? someone correct me if im wrong)

also make sure you unzipped the userinit.sh

What your going through is experience.....this isn't just flashing psp roms xD

Custom firmware flashing is extremely simple on the g1..... this is like going into the ROM and changing things up. The mods im talking about involve lots of terminal and adb commands and you really shouldnt be using them unless you understand what its doing. If you have plenty of experience in linux,then you should be able to find lots of interesting things to do in the development section.

When I enter the first line of commands it says "no such file or directory"

I have some experience with Linux, I know how it works and I do know some commands.

So do I not have that program installed?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knightsofwar210:
but when I type the "free" command it shows that I have swap
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
No if you had swap there would be numbers other than zero where it says swap

Take userinit.zip

open it. extract userinit.sh the root of your sd card (ie not in any folder)

the command will only work if the userinit file is in the root of the sd card and if you have a /sd/system directory

make sure there are no spaces other than where marked when entering the command

$su
#cp[space]/sdcard/userinit.sh[space]/system/sd/

replace [space] with an actual space.

Does cyans rom show that you have an ext2/3/4 partition?

Hi All,

I was trying to install Win 7 on my HTC Shift using the USB disk method. The installation goes well until it get to the last step configuring windows or your machine.... then it gives me an error, Installer was unable to configure windows to run on your hardware restart installation.

Any ideas why is that or how it can be resolved?

Thanks
[Shift Development] DalvuS:
There's the RTM version now available, check for Hash to be sure it's the real deal, and use the same install instructions. I recommed you use Windows Update before drivers, then install what is left because there's some new drivers like Authentec TrueSuite which is only downloadable through manufacturers. All works :D
[Shift Development] koala996:
I'm running Win 7 RC for a while now on my shift... and everything is fine... I don't know what is the issue you have. maybe you should try to reinstall it and check if you have a correct version of Win 7 RC.
[HTC Excalibur] kdubgolf:
So I have the T-Mobile Dash and use Google Maps a lot for phone numbers, maps, directions and what not...but the GPS "My Location" setting never worked. So I figured the Dash didn't support GPS.

However, i upgraded to WM6.1 on this site, Kavanas i found on here, and as it wiped out the phone and I started using it again.....google maps DID let me use the my location GPS setting and now I can see the dot on the map where i am, and it moves and works, so I figured my phone indeed had GPS now...

I am trying to use a golf GPS application, and I never get a signal....do i have GPS? shouldnt it work if google maps uses GPS? should I manually set it up using the COM ports and rates it allows me to manually enter instead of checkin automatically use windows default gps settings?
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
I am pretty sure that (1) an upgrade would not simply give you GPS and (2) the dash (1st generation not 3G) does not have GPS built it (as it is a major 'improvement' to the Dash 3G).

If that program started to work for you, it may have been using triangulation calculations by locating the 3[+] towers your phone is connected to at one time (at least for T-Mobile this is so)and finding your coordinate.

The problem could be lack of signal in the Golf Course, or maybe you are switching between towers too fast, or possibly the trees are interfering, or a final problem could be that the towers you are connecting to do have any position data being emitted, so the program can't gather coordinates.

Those are my 2¢ (i may be wrong)
[HTC Excalibur] jdshifflett:
i agree with cyclone. i believe in my limited knowledge that our dash's do not have gps, rather an estimate with trianglation which is why in googlemaps im usually 2-3 streets from my actual location. and it does not work for bing's gps
[HTC Excalibur] ratstrangler:
The dash does not come with GPS. :(

Google maps and similar apps do indeed triangulate and/or guestimate from cell towers. I'm no golfer, but I suspect that this is never going to be accurate enough to be of any help on the course - your position is going to be, maybe, 500 yards/metres out.

You can, however, pick up little bluetooth GPS units on eBay for about £15, $20 or so. These work very well with the Dash. I have one myself - the only problem I've had with them is they get lost easily and some have lots of flashing LEDs on, you get funny looks from security people if you have it in a shirt pocket!! :D

Install the custom audiopara on the custom rom and you will find a big difference in both the ear piece and speaker.
