Can't boot from 1.4 recovery

Hi,

first of all, sorry for my english, and sorry if my question is solved in the forums, but I can't find it.

I have a HTC Dream from movistar (spain) with 1.5 firmware, SPL changed to 1.33.2005 with this instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=558301, and root access with InstantRoot (http://www.androlib.com/android.application.uk-co-neilandtheresa-instantroot-qtFt.aspx)

With cyanogen's recovery image 1.4, the G1 doesn't boot into recovery mode (it hangs at movistar logo), but I can go to the recovery mode with 1.2 recovery image.

Please, can someone tell me if I can do this steps?

1-rename the devphone rom to upate.zip and flash it with 1.2 recovery.

2-do a normal boot and rename cyanogen 4.2.1 to update.zip

3-go back to recovery mode and flash de renamed cyanogen rom

Thanks in advance!

Still no Copilot on G1

Maybe try clearing the Dalvik-cache and fix_permissins as well.

Still now CoPilot working on my G1. Tried all possible combinations /clear-dalvik/wipe/flash/reinstall/fix+permissions etc.

What I didn't do is deleting the app completely as I didn't consider it necessary... when you start after a wipe the .so files get recreated anyway. Or is there sth. I didn't consider?

hi i made update from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2 i found market not open i try many time the error massage come :( also i try to install any app for mp3 ringtone ex ringolit i can't ffind my mp3 file whene i try to choose the ringtone why ?
[G1 Android Development] tekkitan:
Updated to 4.2.2 and so far so good.

Not really a problem, but I went from pre-legal CM to 4.2.1. Running great. Whenever I reboot the phone though, it boots into CM just fine, then sits at the lock screen. I try to unlock it and it reboots again. Then it is fine.

I followed all directions (including wipe) on front page. Like I said, this isn't really a problem. Just wondering if it is normal.

4.2.1 runs great. Thanks cyanogen!

+ a little faster than 4.0.4

+ no battery drain: my battery lasts 3-4 days

+ stable: no crashes, no reboots, no FCs

- contact pics don't show up when sb. calls or is called

Has anyone seen the mysterious black bar yet on 4.2.2? I had my phone in landscape on gtalk and suddenly this black bar with a small white triangle in the right corner appeared at the botton of my screen. It was as wide as the notification bar and stayed on nomatter what i did untill i clicked the screen closed... ooooh spoooky lol.

Yea I get pretty freaked out if my gps doesnt fix too. One time i wept hysterically untill the reboot cycle finished.

Ok, I've find that I can't do step 2 because I will loss root acces. Can I remove SD card to rename cyanogen rom to update.zip between steps 1 and 3?

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] ragflan:
Is there anyone that can advice me as to what I can do to resolve the few problems I am having? Especially with Gallery and Camera. I get a few FCs here and there with downloaded Market apps but only the lack of those 2 apps which are installed by default... I use them both a lot...

I have the HTC Dream. I was already on 4.1999 (which was my first custom ROM) and I recently applied 4.2 because I was having problems with 4.1999, then I applied 4.2.1 which refused to boot no matter how I tried until I wiped everything including SD which is when Camera, Gallery and Alarm clock stopped working.

So I decided to do it all over... Did I make any mistakes in the steps I took? :

1. Wipe/FDR.

2. Remove all partitions, format SD card. Repartition with fat32, ext4 and 128mb swap. Repair ext partitions.

3. Reboot then Wipe/FDR again.

4. Apply the HTC dream 1.6 recovery image

5. Reboot and the unpacking image came up and then it went back into recovery.

6. Wipe again and finally apply 4.2.2 and reboot.

Everything loads up smooth, I set up my account and still Alarm Clock, Gallery and Camera don't work. I open them, they just show a black screen and close. Am I making a mistake in the steps?

I also tried the other method (in the Cyanogen wiki) where you do not reboot after applying 1.6 image and straightaway apply 4.2.2 before rebooting, but that one had multiple FCs and didn't let me use anything...

I'm still very new to rooting, and I'd appreciate any insight or help...
[G1 Android Development] jo mateix:
Thanks; not quoted in my second post, but my G1 does'nt boot into recovery with 1.4 (hangs at the logo operator), so I need 1.2 that has no option to choose wich rom to flash. So if I can remove the SD card to change the rom name, it would fix my problem.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
Update went smooth, everything seems to be working fine, and no force closes. Keep up the good work Mr. Cyanogen :cool:
[G1 Android Development] 3Shirts:
In theory, yes you could just rename the zips via a card reader inbetween but I think you may have some other more fundamental problem if the 1.4 recovery doesn't work. Have you tried Amon Ra's recovery (although it is based on cyans 1.4)
[G1 Android Development] Moskiller:
When will you include the Android Eclair 2.0 and HTC Sense UI in the next releases?
[G1 Android Development] theoneonly:
Ok, I just flashed this without swap (good or bad)

Its running very fast compared to the hero roms I'm using. But I'm already missing the hero widgets and features that this rom doesnt have :(

Like facebook sync to contacts (possible or coming soon?) and the clock + weather widget. I epically miss the mail widget.

I really hope this all comes soon, or anyone know where I can download these from the market?

Thanks!

Keep up the good work cyanogen!
[G1 Android Development] bluecluenj:
Thank you Cyanogen. 4.2.2 is flawless, everything works quickly and perfect :) Please ignore the complainers who act like they have paid a dime for your awesome ROMs. Thank you for sacrificing so much of your personal time for this community. Illegitimi non carborundum!
[G1 Android Development] tokyomonster:
He will never include SenseUI unless it goes open source, which it won't. Right it's closed source, and HTC isn't about to give free license to mod devs to start including it, so you probably won't be seeing it any time soon.

AFAIK is a common issue with 1.5 firm from HTC for telefonica movistar but I'll try your sugestion. Thanks one more time for your aid.
[G1 Android Development] 3Shirts:
Are you going to start work on an Eclair based rom anytime soon or concentrate on stable 1.6 for a while?
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Dudes,

You can not just take out the SD card on these builds. System relies on it, so it's no wonder it rebooted. If you do this, the system:

1. Looses the apps you've installed (cos they're on ext partition)

2. Swap fails (cos it's on swap partition)

With these two failing, you can not expect anything but a crash.

Why no one make an incremental update?

There were two files and boot.img updated in 4.2.2.

Why not make an incremental update?

It'll be smaller(3M), less download time, less flash time, consume less energe....

I made one for myself, and it worked well on my G1.

Is anyone else experiencing their touchscreen being out of wack? Ive wiped and reinstalled to try an cure this problem.. basically what happens from time to time is, ill press my finger on a certain part of the screen , but the phone will register the touch somewhere else. For example, ill compose a new gmail email, and when im done ill touch send, but the phone thinks ive pressed discard. Any ideas as to why this is happening? It happens everywhere in the phone, browser, homescreen, sometimes the lockscreen wont register all of the dots that im trying to connect either. Thanks in advance devs!

My Market Place does not let me place notifications on updates....

and the Update Available notification doesnt show in the Downloads section... i have to manually search each of my programs to see if theres an update.... any ideas?

Also , apparently none of the apps are showing in the download area now.. not even the ones i paid for x.x
[G1 Android Development] djosiah:
to sync facebook contacts you can use a program that someone posted here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550068

and for the clock on weather widgets you can buy either beautiful widgets or weather widgets donate from the market. i am in the same boat as you and getting tired of the hero roms and want to go back to cyanogen but wanted all the goodness of hero. also who needs sense ui with the new gde home screen replacement!. hope this helps

@cyanogen thanks for all your hard work :)

@everyone else: what's up with all the noobish posts? no wonder devs want to leave xda and go somewhere else.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
Even if you aren't going to take the time to read the last few pages of this thread before posting, use your brain and at least read cyanogens twitter or read the eclair thread here if the answer to that wasn't as obvious as it was to most of us already.

retaining installed apps/settings when installing the mod

Is there any way to install this mod without losing all the installed/purchased apps and settings? I've had this for a few months already and there is quite a bit on the phone that I would not like to have to reinstall/configure.
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
As I have apps2sd, that was possible, yes. I was lucky and did not have to wipe my ext partition. Obviously, YMVV.

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
If you have them on your SD card, you just need to run fix_permissions after rebooting after installing the ROM and you'll be good to go.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
It's a minor inconvenience to reinstall apps compared to the potential problems you will have if you don't format your ext partition before installing. That said if you are on 4.1.9x you should be fine to upgrade without a wipe, if problems occur you know what to do though...

You can also try using backup for root users however I had nothing but problems when I tried this in between CM versions.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I'll work on Eclair when Google releases the source code. I don't think they are planning on doing this until the new Verizon devices come out. Something about people "stealing their thunder".

Yes, there is some really nice support for "applypatch" in Donut. I may start doing this for incremental updates with Cyanogen Updater. It's something I plan on looking into this week. It would be great for stable builds since very little ends up getting updated between releases.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
cyanogen I am still tearing my hair out with this - http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=646

Is there anything I can try to fix the problem other than what has already been suggested I really don't want to go back to 4.0.4 after seeing how fast 4.2.2 is :(
[G1 Android Development] mfrey0118:
Ok dumbest, you tell me how these instructions have ANYTHING to do with my problem? I always follow the installation instructions and I've had generally stable ROM's for several generations now so don't feed me this trash unless you plan to address my actual problem. The reason I am not familiar with extracting the correct error logs for my problems is because I usually end up solving them on my own. But you go ahead with your sarcasm and tell me something completely irrelevant to my issue. Thanks so much.

Last thing I need is some guy telling me to "read the instructions".

Come on, man.

Anyway, back to the actual issue, I just updated to 4.2.2 and stepped down the swappiness of my Linux swap partition to 40 and turned on the .odex apk features in user.conf so maybe that will help.
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
1. No swap: Good for your SD card, bad for YOU if you don't have much RAM. Try it! Install some task manager, then start several programs, and watch how they are being pushed out of the memory (as you start subsequent processes). You'll notice that this doesn't happen a lot, with swap on.

2. HTC widgets: AFAIK that's not possible at all. It's HTC framework, this is Google (Also, been mentioned countless times on this forum).

There have been attempts to reproduce those, I think HTC clock mostly.. You can find some in the market, but judging by the comments, they aren't really stable/nice lookin as the original HTC.

If you had read them you would have seen the link to the touch input thread and why touch input is force closing your attitude is not appreciated people ask the same questions continually in this thread, don't be so surprised when you receive a blunt response from someone it's because they know you haven't read up.
[G1 Android Development] mfrey0118:
That doesn't explain the reboots. I disabled and uninstalled Touch Input and still got reboots.
[G1 Android Development] 3Shirts:
Good point, rather harshly put. What I really meant was, are you going to start work on a 2.0 build asap or just concentrate on perfecting 1.6

'Asap' would be when the source is available, but I wasn't clear on that. I fully appreciate why cyanogen won't do anything with the current code that is floating around

Quick Question Yall

Hey guys,

I'm not too sure if this might be off topic, but I've been using the cyanogen Mod since as far as I the 3.0 days, and recently I've noticed I'm not able to send or receive MMS/Picture messages, has anyone else experienced this or have any thoughts on it, any help would greatly be appreciated :)
[G1 Android Development] mfrey0118:
That doesn't explain the reboots. I disabled and uninstalled Touch Input and still got reboots. Besides, Cyanogen said if you get f/c issues, install from the link, which I did and still got f/c issues.

[G1 Android Development] mfrey0118:
And you're trying to admonish me about my attitude, Mr. Look Down From Yonder Peak?

Friggin' typical.

Besides, I have already been to the Touch Input thread multiple times. (sorry for the repeat posts I have like 5 different browser tabs all opened to this thread and it got a little hectic.) While I'm thinking about it, why can't you delete repeat posts or any posts, for that matter, on this site? Not very good for massive threads.

EDIT: I got Touch Input and Calibration working again (even works on Better Terminal for Magic, including enter button). Found a link to a "1.6" version on the Touch Input thread and it worked. Still no answer to the reboots.

Truest statement and reply I've ever seen in the history of CM.

latest twidget lite FC

anyone has experience with the latest Twidgit lite FCing? It seems to pull twitter update fine but will FC when I open up to view the tweets. Not sure if this is related to CM 4.2.2. Figure I'll ask before I try to wipe and restart from scratch.
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
Since you want to be a smart ass, I'll quote what I was referring to since you obviously removed it from the original quote.

I'm pretty sure I said "please" not really sure how I can say that any other way without being a ****. I did address your issue. If it didn't help a simple "That didn't work" would work. How am I supposed to know that you read it correctly, 90% of people on here don't. No need to run your mouth on the internet because I don't really care for IP arguing. Kind of blew up something out of nothing there.
[G1 Android Development] PorchSong:
I did. Drove me nuts. Here is how I fixed it. First, remove widget from home screen. Uninstall twidget lite. Reboot. Go to market and reinstall. Reboot before you install homescreen widget. Then it will work.

Actually, this forum is about sharing of information between and amongst others. Yes, sometimes things are reiterated. You can't call mfrey0118 out like that, he's been around a while and is not a noob. People miss things in the posts; or alternately become detached from the happenings for days or weeks at a time. If you do not religiously follow the updates, your gonna miss stuff.

Take it from an "ex" forum police member, the only thing that happens when you admonish someone for not searching is cause arguments/flames/*****ing.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
He said himself the answer to his question was in the thread he was directed to, by me and by the first person to respond to the query, people aren't going to continually spoon feed answers when they know all it will take is 2 minutes reading to solve them. I called him out because of the way he responded to dumbestcrayon who is a member I have seen help countless people.

If you or anyone else wants to continue discussing this further pm me this is not the place to discuss this.

4.2.2 Rocks!

Cyanogen,

4.2.2 fixes google voice not downloading and slow wifi speed using wpa!

Wifi speed using wpa now ranges between 1.4 and 2.8 megabits. Instead of the 380k I was getting. I used the extremelabs speed test app for the test.

Thank you thank you!

Great job as always.

Hey everyone I have a question about installing 4.2.2 , about 2 weeks ago I followed to instructions to install 4.1.999 , like flashing the recovery img from the htc website and all that, but when I got it running some things didn't work for me (like browser fc) so I went back to 4.04 stable . Now I want to install 4.2.2 stable , but do I have to go through all the steps again or can I just flash 4.2.2?
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
You will need to follow the same steps you followed before, it is also recommended if you have an ext partition you format it along with wiping your phone before installing and you will hopefully find you have no force closes at all as this is usually the cause of such problems :)

Issue With Data Access

I've been having a similar problem with v4.2.2 that I noticed a few others were having with earlier versions of this ROM. I came from the "official HTC 1.6 + root" ROM, followed the instructions on proper v4.2.2 installation, and have found my 3g/EDGE data access totally FUBAR. I can sign in to Google Services over wifi, and everything works great, but attempting to use the browser (or anything, really) on 3g brings up t-mo's web2go site and tells me i need to upgrade my account. After i had this issue the first time i repartitioned everything, wiped, and tried again. same problem. any ideas?

(for full disclosure i did just upgrade my t-mo account to the new contract-less unlimited one, but i really really doubt that's causing any of this)

Not enough information, lastkmesg would be a good start

Next time it reboots from a terminal enter

su

cp /proc/last_kmesg /sdcard/last_kmesg

and provide a copy of last_kmesg from your sdcard, this should shed some light on what is causing the crash.

I can say that I have encountered no reboots under 4.2.2 or 2.1 and have seen very very few reports of any so it is extremely likely your problem is a localized one which a wipe (phone and ext partition) and fresh install will probably solve.
