Wow Charrion I just gotta say you rock man!

Ive been coming on this forum on weekly basis trying to understand more and more since I got my phone, Which was when it was released and you answered so many of the questions I had just from reading through this thread.

You know any good Rogers Roms I can try? I gotta say though I'm DIEING to try Cyanogens but I wanna play it safe.

Thank you SO much. Take it Eazy
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charrion:
It's recommended.

Hello,

Let me begin by saying how much I appreciate all the hard work you folks are doing :D

I have tried this numerous times (not only this but a lot of the other methods floating around) and I continue to get "Backup Failed" so i decided to be ballsy and try flashing it with no backup but I now get "Flash FAILED: Could not run command". I have a feeling (cuase im a pesimist) as I just recieved my dream from Rogers that they may have patched the hole. Is there any way of you telling me for certinty if I tell you these:

Model: HTC Dream

Firmware: 1.5

Baseband Version: 62.52S.20.18U_3.22.20.17

Kernel Version: 2.6.27-9af60ed4 u70000@Android-X01

Build Number: 1.86.631.1 146733 CL#42949 release keys

I am a linux user of more than 10 years but all this phone version numbers and spl stuff is a little over my head and any help would be greatly appreciated.

One thought that popped up is that maybe it's the stock 2 gig sd card they give with the phone causing the problem?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charrion:
It's possible Rogers has a new ver. that has patched the one-click root vulnerability. if so, you just might be at a loss aside from trying the goldcard method. Problem is, I don't know if goldcard works on the Rogers phones, it never worked for me.

i rebooted the phone and tried again and it worked, now running the cm 1.4 after following the second guide linked in your first post, having an issue getting the new 4.1.99 working tho as the first part of that walkthrough failed ( i think the part to backup the google apps) im gonna try xrom just to get my phone up and running
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sysdmg:
:D Successfully installed and booted xRom (newest build) with no problems, even has 3g (without doing anything) by default. Note: This is not a rogers re-cook, this is stock xRom image. Now off to school, when I get home im gonna attempt to get the newest Cyanogen Mod working
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charrion:
Good to hear. There are a couple issues in 4.1.99 but we're working feverishly in #cyanogenmod to help Cyan get it to stable 4.2 quickly. The install isn't too bad but the thread got muddied up pretty quick, try these ones http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/10/04/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-4-1-99-on-your-g1-android-phone/.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sysdmg:
I think i figured it out. The way I did it using your method would imply that I had no image for the first thing you have to do to rip the google apps out of. So now I have xRom installed and have the google apps there and working, theoretically if I try it again it should work nice and simple.

I think that that ROM should be ok but I have never tried it. I would wait until Cyanogen releases 4.2 which should be soon and flash that. If you can't wait then just flash 4.1.999 then you can upgrade later. Be sure to follow the instructions in cyanogen's post to flash this rom. I am not sure about flashing the hero roms but they will be slower than regular roms. I don't really understand what that last question is asking.

Hi Guys.... I flashed my phone with the Recovery Flasher, but I used the Cyanogen Recovery 1.4 img. It said it was flashed.

Then I tried to boot into the recovery mode, but the phone just hangs. I have rebooted the phone, I've left it on for over an hour, even tried the 3finger trick. but nothing.

I then saw this thread, tried to flash it again like on the first post, but the flasher keeps telling me invalid recovery image.

Is there a way to revert the phone back to normal? I even tried to do a factory reset, after which the phone hangs...

Any help will be appreciated.

And I have searched quite a bit but can't seem to find anything

Oh this is what I get when I boot into Hboot (power and cam)

Hi,

I would like to get CyanogenMod 4.2.2 on my rogers dream. I followed your instructions, and have hboot 1.33.2005. But as per your instructions I have Cyanogen Recovery 1.2, instead of the required 1.4. Or at least I think it's required as it is mentioned here ( http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/10/0...1-99-on-your-g1-android-phone/comment-page-1/ )

When I tried to use the Recovery Flasher to install Cyanogen Recovery 1.4, it would no longer boot into the recovery menu.

I put 1.2 back and it works but can I go ahead with installing Cyanogenmod 4.2.2, or do I need to first make sure that Cyanogen Recovery 1.4 works?

Also you mentioned "one-click root" and "flashrec", but only gave a link for flashrec, and did not use "one-click root" in your tutorial. Do I need to do something with that also? You say that "you can safely follow the rest of the rooting instructions in this thread.", but that thread does not mention one-click root.

Ya, I saw that. That guide though doesn't mention "one-click root", and it also doesn't say if I'll have cyanogen recovery 1.4 installed.

It looks like if I follow that guide, I'll have a Dream with no OS. But in order for me to install CyanogenMod 4.2.2 I need cyanogen recovery 1.4, something I don't have, and not sure how to get.

EDIT: DOWNLOAD FLASH REC FROM HERE: http://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec TO GET THE RECOVERY 1.4 TO WORK!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beav_35:
If you follow that guide you will get the recovery and radio image that you need. You can then go on to follow cyanogen's instructions to flash his rom.

The one-click is just a way to get around the "perfect" spl on the newer dream devices before you follow that guide.

Has anyone successfully used this guide, the rogers here's your real root guide and cyanogenmod's guide for 4.2.2 on a Roger's Dream?

I have so far used this guide to get the newer SPL 1.33.2005, but I'm not sure if the real root guide and the new cyanogenmod are compatible.

Does the recovery.img in the real root guide install recovery v1.4 or v1.2?

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

EDIT:

I just tried to manually install the recovery.img included with the givemeroot.zip found in the rogers here's your real root guide using FlashRec, and it didn't let me saying "Wrong image EBI for phone."

So I'm not sure if that guide will work for my Rogers Dream.

When I user FlashRec, and it automatically downloads and installs the Recovery Image, its for version 32a, and it works. But when I Camera+Power start the phone it shows up as version 32B. Which version do I have?

This is what I see in HBOOT? (Camera+power)

I did the root described in this thread, but when I hold home+power to boot into recovery mode, my phone hangs at the Rogers logo.

But, when I go into fastboot USB with the command prompt and type fastboot boot recovery.img, my phone boots into CM 1.4, like it should. So I've been able to put a custom ROM on and my SPL is obviously 1.33.2005. But why can't I boot to recovery by the home+power method?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beav_35:
I think that when you type "fastboot boot recovery.img" it downloads the recovery.img from your computer to the phone then boots off that not off the recovery partition on your phone. So if you can't boot off the recovery partition you must not have flashed it properly or something went wrong during the flash. You could try running "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" again to reflash it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamieownsu:
Ty for your advice, but I already solved it, basically by doing exactly what you suggested.

Just reflashed CM 1.4 and voila, bootage.

extract both images wherever you'd like.

IMPORTANT: make sure you have the rom you'd like to install in the root of your sd card as update.zip (YOU WILL NOT HAVE A ROM INSTALLED AFTER YOU COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING STEPS, YOU WILL HAVE TO USE THE UPDATE.ZIP TO GET ONE)"

Since I did what the original poser told me to do, the ROM in update.zip is cyanogen, correct? Or do I have to go download it separately and put it in the SD...i am kinda noobish and confused about this...Thanks in advance !

Ok, so basically I'm stuck in same boat as you. I've looked through XDA for hours off end looking for an answer, and the only one I have found that is stopping the flash from going through is because of the update from Rogers. Now I will take it that your Dream has been updated or you have recently got it, and I have just recently updated mine (stupid idea), and it has all of the same hboot information and radio as yours. So, now we just need to figure out how to downgrade it.

So something has definitely happened. Now the instructions continuing are not great for me, as fastboot does not talk to my phone. My messing time for today is also gone. So I am going off to organize a rom, a radio, and a recovery.img and get them into the sdcard as one or two zips. Then hopefully I'll be able to get them in with the 'apply any zip' option in the new cyanogen recovery.img. Actually I quite like that new recovery.img of Cyanogen's. Do I really have to change the thing?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charrion:
No, you can stick with the new recovery image. When I originally wrote those instructions, the available flashrec included an old 1.2 version of the recovery image so it was recommended to upgrade to 1.4. Since the newer revision downloads the latest version of cyan's recovery you're safe to skip any step telling you to flash a different recovery image.

I'll have to revise the guide when I have time. I'm in the midst of a tonne of tests at college right now so it'll have to wait a bit.

Make sure you get fastboot working soon though, you'll need it to actually flash the recovery.img to the phone. As soon as you install a rom that's based on donut, flashrec will stop working since it utilizes a security hole that's been patched in 1.6.

And I, like others, am stuck at the Rogers' logo forever (well, 30 minutes or more). The phone isn't bricked (thankfully); I can still adb shell and, I note, the shell has root access (so, clearly, some progress has been made).

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charrion:
You've got the SPL version you need so you can pretty much go straight to Step 5 of Lunatik78's tutorial here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4848777&postcount=506. You don't need to flash the SPL, just the recovery image.

The big thing to keep in mind is do not reboot after flashing the HTC ADP image, flash cyan's 4.2.5 rom and then reboot. Also, be sure to do a wipe/factory reset before flashing the ADP image, not after.

Your first boot after flashing cyan's rom will take a while, especially if you've created an ext partition for apps2sd. The first boot needs to move all your apps to the partition. Generally, it should take less than 5 minutes though, especially with a clean install as you're doing.

Good luck.
