I'm afraid you have to flash the eng spl via recovery.....

try the method I posted here

[G1 Android Development] fermunky:
If you do "fastboot devices", does it list your phone? If not, I hate to ask dumb questions, but the phone IS in fastboot mode, right?
[G1 Android Development] mark manning:
Thanks fierat!
[G1 Android Development] crxforya:
Thanks for all your help Firerat. I was able to get a working nbh file on my phne which allowed me to unroot, and then I could re-root using flasher.apk.

Whoever sd to change the name of the Image file is incorrect. Recovery.img, for me it did not work until I changed it back to recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
[G1 Android Development] cain martinez:
Ok I have tried everytng flash through terminal also try putting the image orn the .data n flash everything went okay didn't get no errors but still reboot to recovery but no recovery

Try via console nop

Try regular regular terminal nop

I can't fastboot because I don't have a computer

Is there something I'm doing wrong please can some1 help I'm on cyanogen5 stable

But through terminal something weird though when I flash through terminal recovery 1.6.2 it works but when flash 1.7.0 everything goes okay but still get stuck on g1 boot screen
[G1 Android Development] mark manning:
ya I didn't listen either and now I am had the same issue

reflash sapp.img and install the new recovery from there
[G1 Android Development] ben_duder:
Sorry to be such a complete noob but I don't know the first thing about Android and couldn't find an answer in the thread.

Today I rooted (or tried to... is there any way to know for sure? I know that sounds stupid) my G1 for the first time and downgraded to an Android v1.0 image to do so. Then I flashed the HardSPL and wanted to get to the Danger SPL but thought it safer to flash a decent recovery first.

Thing is, when I boot to recovery mode for the first time everything is fine and I can access RA recovery without trouble. However, once I boot into Android I can only get back to the stock recovery. I seem to be having a similar problem with ROMs as well as I can't seem to upgrade past 1.0.

I'm sure I'm doing something very stupid but after spending about three hours tonight trying everything I could (wiping and flashing both through Fastboot and recovery) I have no choice but to post.

Thanks.

Edit: Uh-oh... Just flashed a Donut ROM and it won't get out of recovery... What am I doing? :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] mark manning:
flash the original sappimg.nbh file from hboot (hold volume down and power on ( google it if u need) then flash a rom after that.

this is jus a guess but i think it should work for you

oh and wrong forum
[G1 Android Development] ben_duder:
Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Is it? I thought it was OK because it's about RA recovery... Sorry.
[G1 Android Development] mark manning:
let me know if this works please
[G1 Android Development] ben_duder:
I don't think I can enter hboot... Or I'm doing it wrong :o

Everything I do just takes me to the JFv1.41 recovery that was flashed with the almost-stock JF ROM I tried to flash...

I tried flashing through fastboot but that didn't seem to work. What do you do with the -p switch when using the 'flashall' command?

Thanks for your help :)

Edit:

I think the problem was that I was screwing with a zip and not an NBH, d'oh? I'm giving DREAIMG a go.

Edit2:

I can now boot thanks to DREAIMG but still only to 1.0.
[G1 Android Development] cain martinez:
How do u do this
[G1 Android Development] mark manning:
Same way you originally rooted your phone.

copy the file to the root of your sd

reboot holding volume down

follow the instructions

after you reload the rom install a recovery flasher apk

flash the new image

reflash cm5

hope this helps
[G1 Android Development] mark manning:
dreamimg is 1.0

sappimg is 1.5 PM me and ill email it to you

this is for your dream right
[G1 Android Development] ben_duder:
Thanks, PM sent.
[G1 Android Development] mark manning:
you didnt give me your email
[G1 Android Development] cain martinez:
.kn

Ok but wre doyou get thatfile
[G1 Android Development] mark manning:
whats your email? ill send it when i send it to that other guy
[G1 Android Development] ben_duder:
Just a quick note: If hboot is what I think it is then it's accessed by holding down the camera button and the power button, I think the 'volume down' thing might just be for the MyTouch.
[G1 Android Development] mark manning:
Here is a download link for you guys

Er... Would flashing this not damage my G1 as it's for a different device?

I don't think I can flash it for that very reason anyway...
[G1 Android Development] cain martinez:

I had Cynogen 5.0.7 test and didnt read what was in read till after i flashed the recovery (Which we know messed up my recovery screen) but thanks to you got my phone working.

Thanks again man :D
[G1 Android Development] billygoat555:
I went to 1.7.0 and tried to restore and older backup and got the same error as above. I know Firerat responded but I don't understand the response. I installed 1.7.0, went to console, typed u, chose 8 to restore, my list of ROMs appears, I chose one and got the error.

Help please? Thanks.

Edit: With 1.7.0 I can restore the Cyan 2.1 ROM I backed up using 1.6.2 but now that I have 1.7.0 I can't restore any 1.6 ROM I backed up using 1.6.2
[G1 Android Development] jerzy448:
lost my recovery trying to flash to.this works great. thanks for helping me get my recovery back. now running ra-dream-v1.7.0
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
another one

hi all

of course that i have the same problem.

my problem:

(dream 32b) i wanted to make other partitions on the sd card. so i thought that the simplest way is to put recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img and from there... make the partitions.

so ... flash_image recovery blabla.img

in this moment i have no recovery mode, can`t flash anything over the air ( update.zip or any other file). if i press home key when i boot, it won`t boot.

ofcourse the first thing you`re gonna tell me is adb or fastboot.

my device`s usb won`t work ( don`t know why. something with the pins (or not)).

my adb tcpip doesn`t connect to the phone ( something like bridge disappear ).

i can`t flash cm-recovery-1.4.img again ( later i found out that cm5 have this problem - and found this topic ).

the only ideea that comes into my mind is to take it over from rc7 ( DREAIMG.nbh ), with android 1.0 which does not connect to internet via wireless and does

not have the skip button on the setup wizard. then gain my root access in the hard way again.

(is there any problem if i will flash that dreaimg.nbh with my dangerspl on the phone ?! )

does anybody have any suggestion ?

i have dream-g1 32b with danger spl and superbad 1.3 ( cm5 based by htcclay).

were there any results with firerat`s script ( on superbad 1.3 ?)?

eventually a brief ( or not so brief ) about how to use the script on htcclay`s rom ? - tried the firerat`s spamscript. it looks like it returns a 0 and exits from the "while loop" but ... no recovery.

tried flash_image recovery from terminal emulator ( from phone ). sometimes gives me the out of memory error, sometimes not. but the recovery was not flashed.

adb/fastboot can`t try it.

tried clockwork rom manager - no result on writting the recovery image.

solved - somehow

after a considerable number of tries, i took the dreaimg.nbh path :)

if anyone else is intersted, this is it: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=553416 - the holy lucid`s tutorial ( i`m a junior, can`t post links )

remember: if you`ll choose this, you`ll better have a data plan or can`t get out of the android`s 1.0 setup.
[G1 Android Development] ben_duder:
Wiped and redid everything and have mine working fine now - recovery works brilliantly. Thanks guys!
[G1 Android Development] itzmotto:
i already have a rooted phone but i switched memory cards how can i put this on my new memory card or do i even have to?
[G1 Android Development] :
how do i nandroid back up? because when i do it my apps dont come back -__-
[G1 Android Development] Sleeepy2:
you need to do the nadroid+ext or whatever it is called. that backs up all your apps.
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
Where are your apps stored? Sdcard?
[G1 Android Development] :
no on my phone
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
then you are doing something very stupid

not your fault, I think some are born that way
[G1 Android Development] TonyChani:
uhh does terminal work now for cm 5 cause i cant get it to work in the console and i dont know how to use the fastboot method...some1 pls help, btw im trying to get cyanogens version of amon ra's recovery =/
[G1 Android Development] onire:
And other things?
[G1 Android Development] mark manning:
Here is a theory, not sure if it would work or not. If you go to the very first post there just may be some info and pics. Im guessing the yellow one might just be the normal version. Then that might just make the one with cyan logo the cyan theme? Not sure tho but wouldn't that be crazy if it were true?

v1.7.0

Code:

- Fixed some minor bugs

- Recovery and scripts use /sd-ext instead of /system/sd as mountpoint to support the new apps2sd method (implemented mostly by Chris Soyars)

- Added an option to backup/restore Google proprietary Android system files (backuptool.sh written by Cyanogen)

- Removed "move apps2sd"-option as it's not needed anymore with the new apps2sd method

- Updated BART to v1.3.1 (updated by Dumfuq to support /sd-ext)

- Added a wipe cache only option

- Nandroid now backups/restores /cache again by default

- Dalvik-cache wipes /cache/dalvik-cache now

- Removed SDCARD: prefix in output when chosing zip to flash

- Added Cyan version (There's no difference with the normal version, only the wallpaper and textcolor changed aka READ DUMBASS!!!!!!!)
[G1 Android Development] mark manning:
do a nandroid backup

flash a different rom

flash the cyan version

nandroid restore
[G1 Android Development] :
Ok i dont think there was need for that , anyways i have ZX 2.1 HERO rom on my phone and theres no opstion for me to do a2sd so what would i do if i want to nanbackup this rom?
[G1 Android Development] Jeffro64:
Hey all... sorry if this has been asked before, been working way too much and haven't had a chance to read the thread yet. Will this recovery work/backup ROMs before Cyanogen-5.0.7 also or does it only backup the ext on CM-5.0.7?

In otherwords ROMs by other Devs before CM-5.
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
It should work on every rom.
[G1 Android Development] Darrien13:

Love the new version =) Somehow, it boots a lot faster than 1.6.2. Great work!

G1 with recovery failure Amon-RA 1.6.2 last until Clockwork Recovery

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I've tried for days now to upgrade my 1.6.2 to 1.7 and it has proven impossible. I'd tried Clockwork Recovery that soooo many people rave over and I didn't like it. So I removed it and now I can't enter ANY recovery including 1.6.2 which was already installed and working before Clockwork.

Worse than that, now my Market sucks because I cannot download new apps or update any of the one's with improvements added to them. Once in the Market I can view the apps and upgradeable programs but if I dare download one it immediately reboots me, but strangely there is no vibrate and G1 screen, it simply goes to the Nexus four color prompt before coming online.

Running Cyanogen 5.0.7-DS, any ideas or recommended links?
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
Did you use fastboot to flash?
[G1 Android Development] Jeffro64:
Thanks for the help, just wanted to be sure because of the mount point change... And thanks for all you do!!:cool:
[G1 Android Development] fenestrator:
Haven't gotten that config to work as of yet either. :(
[G1 Android Development] mark manning:
The point is you should read before you put something on your phone.

In recovery there should be a back up option within that will be nandroid.
[G1 Android Development] innerlight:
Help

I was trying to put the new recovery into my phone using the terminal and the console, but it wasn't working correctly. So I tried to do it through fastboot and for some reason I thought that by updating that it would allow me to use the new recovery, but everything on my phone was reset. How can I revert things back to how they were before? I was using Canon's 2.1. Thanks?
[G1 Android Development] Mati20041:
Uffff, i almost got a heartattack :) I flashed recovery on terminal in 5.0.7 and then i couldnt get into recovey. Fastboot saved my ass :)
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
Yes, there seems to be an issue with CM roms and flashing images using flash_image. I hope it will be fixed soon.

[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
fastboot!!!!!!!!

if it won't let you flash recovery, try fastbooting the recovery image

eg

fastboot boot recovery.img

then follow the instructions for flashing via recovery console
[G1 Android Development] fermunky:
I can attest that fastboot will fix any problems flashing a recovery. I had tried damn near everything. Then I finally got fastboot to flash, and worked like a charm.
[G1 Android Development] toonarme:
Help!!!

My brain hurts now...

I've done something wrong and it's something simple that I've probably fixed before but I can't figure it out.

I've done everything as required and when I rebooted I checked the 'about phone' and everything was there, new firmware, new Mod version (5.0.7). Then I restored my Nandroid backup and everything has gone back to pre-upgrade (CM 4.2.15.1)

What have I done?

Sorry if it's a bit of a numpty question.... :(
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Well, if you did your Nandroid backup pre upgrade and then restore it, I'd be surprised if you didn't end up in a pre upgrade state (no matter what you did in between). That's what Nandroid backups/restore is all about...
[G1 Android Development] toonarme:
Yes, fair comment, but I followed the instructions from this :

wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/DangerSPL

And this is what it says at the bottom :

If you want to restore the nandroid backup (to attempt an unrecommended no-wipe upgrade between CM4.2 and CM5)

1. [Optional] Reboot to recovery, and issue a Nandroid Restore, then follow the regular instructions .

* This command will attempt to restore user data.

* Restoring will also restore your previous Firmware, so you have to follow the instructions to get 5.0.x again

* Note: If this causes undesired consequences (ie bootloops, FC's, etc) then run Fix Permissions/'Fix UID Mismatches'.

Whats the point of giving instructions like that, including telling me to do a nandroid backup when it'll screw the whole thing up when I restore?

BTW, there are at least 3 different sets of instructions for this upgrade, none of them the same...
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Well, it says unrecommended, right? :)

Anyway, IMO the correct way to do a non DangerSPL anyrom to DangerSPL CM5 is well outlined in steps 1-9 on the page you refered to. That's all there is to it, actually.
[G1 Android Development] toonarme:
Yes, what it actually says is an

unrecommended no-wipe upgrade between CM4.2 and CM5

So its saying that it doesn't recommend a no-wipe upgrade, they recommend that you wipe, which is what I did...

Instruction 4 tells me to make a nandroid backup

Instruction 5 the tells me to wipe data/factory reset so then I've nothing on my data partition

So it's telling me to do a Nandroid, wipe my SD card, flash Danger, CM5 and Google Apps but then when I restore, it clears it all.
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Where, in steps 1-9, does it tell you to restore?
[G1 Android Development] toonarme:
It's OK, I think I have it now. If I want to upgrade but keep all my apps etc. I have to upgrade over the top of 4.whatever after I've flashed DangerSPL. I think....

So wipe my card, flash the SPL, ROM and Apps, then restore the Nandroid and reflash the new ROM. Seems a lot of farting about...

Thing is, this is another set of instructions which is different :

wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Upgrading_From_CM_4.2_or_other_rooted_ROMS_to_5.0.x%28Dream/Sapphire%29

Theres another one that says that Cyanogen 1.4 backup is obsolete for this. Bloody confusing...

Thanks for your help ;)

:)
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
I'd rather suggest not trying to keep any user data and/or apps. Who knows what bits and pieces from the old rom/apps will interfere with the new? OTOH, I don't really understand why the wiki tells you to wipe, since installing DangerSPL removes every trace of your old system. At least it did so on my phone.
[G1 Android Development] bubonik:
Can we get an option for /system wipe? I manually move apps over to /system after flashing but with the new flashing methods that cm 5.0.7 and se 1.0.2 use apps are left over in that partition. Their install scripts dont erase /system anymore.

Well I suppose you are right, although that still doesnt explain what I am seeing. Apps are left over after flashing, but via fastboot erase they disappear. Ive never seen an issue with the older methods of format system:, but who knows.
[G1 Android Development] pra4u2:
I don't understand. I went into fast boot, either I don't know how to do it, or there is no option to flash a recovery img. I hold down camera + pwr button. Hit back button, I connect usb, it says "fastboot usb". I'm lost.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
for crying out loud, you could try the search feature

but seeing as that didn't cross your mind

fastboot flash recovery C:\<path to img>\recovery<version No>.img
[G1 Android Development] pra4u2:
You are going to hate, me, do I type that in my linux terminal or an app.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
hmm, I assumed you were a windows user, which was why I put the C:\ bit in

so you are a linux user that can't use google?

fastboot flash recovery /home/<username>/Downloads/recovery<version>.img

and please, if that doesn't work.. search for how to get fastboot installed on your linux box, it is not difficult.
