[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Kyros_:
First and foremost let me just say welcome back Cyanogen and thanks for all your hard work and for even continuing to cook up ROMs after the C&D...let's all hope he doesn't quit being Head Chef because it doesn't matter if he leaves XDA, whatever forum he goes to will become popular; Also big up to everyone helping out the Noobs and especially jokersax11 for making this thread and helping out too. Now on to my quick question, I ask this because I never did it before and want to avoid any issues but if I wipe before installing 4.1.99 and something goes wrong (which it shouldn't because I know all the steps, but just in case) and I want to go back to let's say 4.0.4 via Nandroid, is the wipe still in effect or does it go back the way I left it as if I didn't wipe? Thanks for your time.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erik2188:
Everything will go back as if you didnt wipe.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZilverZurfarn:
If you do a nandroid backup, then wipe, then do a nandroid restore, your phone will be exactly like it was before you wiped.

I have rooted many times and I am not "new" at this, but I was having an issue with the no data connection and I was wondering around the system info and I am showing my Baseband Version as "62.50s.20.17H_2.22.16.26I"

Now if I am not mistaken the Baseband should be "62.50s.20.17" after the HTC flash correct?? That is what I have seen in the "Successful" screenshots

or should the Radio now be "H_2.22.16.26I"

Which one is the latest radio version that will work? any ideas?

I ran a factory reset, and it is still showing the 2... Is it possible I could have somehow installed 2 radios, or does it even matter?

-Thanks in advance
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdeckers:
If you mistakenly flash the HTC's System Image instead of the Recovery Image, or you reboot after applying the Recovery Image (instead of immediately applying 4.1.99), follow these instructions:

adb root

adb remount

adb shell

cat /system/etc/install-recovery.sh > /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.disabled

rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

cat /system/recovery-from-boot.p > /system/recovery-from-boot.p.disabled

rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

Flash a recovery-image like before

I seems like the HTC 1.6 image restores the original recovery image at reboot.

Instructions borrowed from: http://code.google.com/u/harald.mue/updates

Did the trick for me.

Ciao!

"The application Touch Input (process com.htc.android.htcime) has stopped unexpectedly. Please Try again."

Slow Boot Up

Hello. First off great rom and yes excellent speed but my issue is when I reboot phone...

I have noticed that when I reboot or even turn phone off and do a cold boot it takes an extended period of time to load up. It runs great afterwards but the initial loading is the time consumer.

So for me it goes power>G1 (maybe about a min or 2)>your logo (stays there for about 3 or so min during that time I hear my notification tone go off)>then done. Any thoughts?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepointis77:
I had the same trouble but I couldn't even boot into stock android. it would just sit on the android logo screen. I thought I had bricked the phone but after searching the web came upon how to hard reset the mytouch. so at least I now have a working phone (although it thinks its the google ion...!) thought I would post this so anyone else with the same problem can get some help:

the original link for the master reset:

http://forums.t-mobile.com/tmbl/board/message?board.id=myTouch&message.id=20243

and in case the link doesn't work here are the steps (thanks to user crowbarr on the t-mobile forum):

1. Pull the battery if necessary to power down the phone

2. Re-install the battery

3. Hold down the Home and Back keys and press the power button briefly, keeping the Home and Back keys pressed

4. The phone will boot to a white screen with some green text. Below that, you will see CLEARSTORAGE in purple.

under that you will see "Delete all user data?" <ACTION> Yes - <POWER> No

5. Choose Yes by clicking the track ball (this is the ACTION. You can also choose not to proceed by pressing the POWER button)

Remember...this is a MASTER RESET, and will set your phone back to the way it left the factory. It will delete everything on the phone.

Here is my issue and it sounds like I am not the only one but I have tried most of what everyone else is saying works.

Ok, so I had everything running nice. CM's 1.4 recovery with CM's 4.1.11 I think is what the versions numbers were. Then I flashed the 1.6 image from HTC then I wiped and tried to flash the update CM put out (4.1.99) and it says

-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.

Also I am back to the stock recovery with the exclamation point. If anyone knows how to get me up and running with CM's 4.1.99 please tell me.

Ok so far i have tried every which way to install this to get something usable and so far i have come up short

I started over completely and followed the instructions cyanogen posted exactly and it still runs so slow that i can't even really use the phone

my problem is that i have no way of formatting the ext partition or even wiping the partitions out all together...the 'parted' command won't work for me any way i do it (adb,recovery,terminal)...i tried using an ubuntu live cd with gparted but that could not see my ext partition at all i even reverted back to my nandroid back up and tried 'parted' and its just not there

i unfortunately don't have the micro sd to sd adapter...so my only way of reading the card is to use the phone as a card reader

i am reinstalling 4.1.11.1 and i am going to try the whole thing one more time but if that doesn't work i am sunk

any suggestions on free partitioning solutions that i haven't tried?...i am running windows 7 rc and most seem to either not work with win 7 or are paid only

thanks

I followed Cyanogens instructions to the "t" and was having major lag. After reading every thread, and probably 60 pages worth of sutff I fixed MY problem.

I cant guarantee this will work for you.

1. Reboot into recovery and "fix ext partition"

2. In Recovery go to terminal and do "fix_permissions"

3. after booting, use the application "task killer" from the market and close all the bull****.

I have no idea which one actually fixed my problem, but this sequence fixed the slowness for me.

For some reason, there's a ****load of tasks running. In old boots most automatically closed after some time, but for some reason they aren't anymore. Using taskiller will really speed you up after a boot.

Your apps2sd should be working fine...apps2sd only moves the apps to the partition. the cache is still on the data partition so it takes up space there....

if you can see 388 on the secondary, that means apps to sd is set up properly. To check this, install some apps from the market

wipe and reflash cyan's rom

boot and see if the app is still there.

if its there, apps2sd is working . you can also use a file explorer to see if you can see
