Damaged SD Card Error

Well, the problems continue. I turned my phone off to charge and when I turned it back on, I got the dreaded Damaged SD Card message. So I had to format my card, thus losing all the info on there as well as my Apps2SD ext partition' losing the some odd 80 apps i had installed. With my ongoing problems, this was probably for the best, allowing me to wipe and start completely fresh.

But here is my main question. As I am currently on 4.2.6, when I wipe my phone, do I have to re-flash signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip, don't reboot, but instead flash 4.2.6 then reboot or can I just flash 4.2.6 and then reboot. Since I'm starting fresh after just flashing without wiping for a few versions now, I just want to be absolutely sure of the process. After alt+w and wiping the phone clean, do I have to reflash both or do I just have to flash 4.2.6?

Thanks so much in advance.

Hi guys,

My first post here since I've mostly been reading and didn't have anything useful to add to these huge threads (except maybe thank Cyanogen et al... alright I'll do it now: thanks Cyanogen & contributors!).

I've been using Cyanogen's ROMs since just before the C&D, but since I tried 4.2.5 I've been having market issues. It won't download, just sits at "starting download".

I think I've tried pretty much everything, except wiping the SD card's FAT (didn't see how that would help), and the thing still won't work:

- wipe data

- wipe ext

- install ADP ROM

- install CM ROM

- fix_permissions

Oh, I'm using a Dutch 32B Magic on Vodafone (not sure about the B, it's the one with the least memory), CM 4.2.6, 8GB of class 6 SD, and the amon-ra recovery image.

Any ideas as to what I overlooked?

Hi I just wanted to personally thank Cyanogen for this great rom. I just got my phone last night and had it rooted with Cyanogens 4.2.6 in under an hour. It's criminal how easy it is to do all this.

So far everything has worked great I've noticed the search/speech recognition seems to take a little longer to come up then it did on the original phone. The landscape view comes up quicker then it did in stock though.

Once I get a new micro sd class 6 card maybe it will run even better not sure. Right now this is great though and I really enjoy it thanks again Cyanogen. Can't afford to donate at this time but I will as soon as I can.
[G1 Android Development] pcigre:
Thx to Cyanogen and bcook.

Updated from 4.2.5 without wipe, all apps look to work normaly. No problem with home and back button on my Magic A.

[G1 Android Development] pcrodent:
I found this post, but reinstalling gtalkservice.apk didn't work, since the phone said it already had it installed. GTalk however does seem to be the cause of the problems - something about using SSL and the handshake timing out.

Going back to 4.2.2 now :( , at least that one worked for me. Spent hours, reflashed the thing so many times I now know my APN info by heart. I've had enough for today.
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
You haven't overlooked anything. I have that same device, and yes, Market has issues.. I found some ways to force the download, yet i can never be sure why one works and the other doesn't.

So, when it won't start downloading, I just exit the Market, and leave the phone to go to sleep. During that time (just give it enough time) the market download would timeout. Then I'd wake up the phone, and the dnld would just normally restart by itself and finish.

Another thing I do is exit the Market, and press the red button, i.e forcing it to go to sleep. Then, when I wake it, the download is magically going...

Finally, if none of that works, then I cancel the download and start again. Sometimes I have to reboot, too.

Other times it starts normally with minimal delay. Sometimes delay is longer..

All in all, it's a PITA, but I don't see what can be done about it.:confused: I also tried looking at the logcat (that might be useful) but lots of times I don't see anything irregular..

@ Cyanogen:

First of all, your rom rocks! All works very fast & like a charm for me.

Now a question (important for me):

Is it possible for you to add the ability to finger slide photo in album apk?(like hero/sense rom)

It would be fantastic :)

Thanks for your work

(& for an answer ;) )

Hello

Since moving to the 4.2.6, the names of days are more visible and are replaced by numbers from 1 to 7.

How to give up day (Tuesday instead of a 1, a Wednesday instead of 2 etc. etc.)

Thank you

I cant go into recovery mode,

I never could i think

When i press the home button and power on,

I get the image of the phone next to a triangle with an exclamation mark in it.

What do i need to do to get this fixed?

appreciate the help :)
[G1 Android Development] ckcin:
Nevermind, must of been an issue with my download, just did it again with a fresh download and all good.
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
I have MT3G and I installed the new Google Maps just fine. Try going back to 4.2.5, install Google maps from the market. Then install 4.2.6. Thats what I did and I still have the one from the market.
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
This is why its a good idea to run checksum.
[G1 Android Development] wagz:
Yeah, I was one having the same problem. I turned off launcher auto-rotate in spare parts to get by for now and everything is ok, just no more auto-rotate of launcher screen.

I'm also getting weird blank contact entries intermittently for people I call . Their name jsut shows up multiple times in the address book with no number info or anything. It's like the call log is logging to the contacts :) Maybe it has to do with google voice as I am using it for all calls.
[G1 Android Development] devitocoke:
Thanks again for the hard work.
[G1 Android Development] Pikkuhannu:
I use now closed "singleflash"method -> then go to 4.2.5 and now 4.2.6 and working fine.

Then flash like Cyans wiki say, flash stock, NO reboot, flash 4.2.6, reboot-> goes recovery.

Reboot and all fine. Except can`t start market/gmail/sync...:mad:

So just use Nandroid to go back and now working fine.:)

I did not wipe, think i clean dalvik-cache(?). Dont know what goes wrong.

Maybe i must try again and wipe first?:confused:
[G1 Android Development] randomness55:
Just flashed to 4.2.6 this morning. I noticed my phone wasn't letting me run nandroid to do a back up, anybody else run into this problem? I ended up going through with the flashing anyways and it seemed to have worked.

One issue I've had going back to 4.2.5 and is still happening so far today is that sometimes when I get a text, my phone will vibrate but then it just freezes up. It won't let me unlock my phone and after about a minute, it reboots itself. anyone else have this issue?

also, i noticed some people say that the home screen force closes. I had this problem in 4.2.5 and I found out that it was due to a widget I was using on my home screen. As soon as i got rid of it, the force close didn't happen
[G1 Android Development] flexnix:
4.2.6 is running soliiiiiiiid! Thank you very much Cyanogen. I shall shoot you over a beer or 2 next week.

Only hiccup was Force close when you stop the app Wifi Tethering from broadcasting. No biggie though. Same issue on my friend 4.2.6 flashed G1.
[G1 Android Development] j.books:
the triangle with the exclamation is recovery mode. that's the stock recovery mode that comes with with the phone. press alt+l to bring up the options to wipe or flash.
[G1 Android Development] anheuer:
i got it!!!

i had to push home + power again when i see the phone and triangle..

Now i can do things..

but it does say:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

Is that bad?
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
You better read this first:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/RE-recovery-img

Sorry this has to break on your back, but how many times do we need to post this link? It's been posted at least 50 times (including PhychoBoy's outburst, when he pasted the link across half the page:D).

People, please search! Just searching for "exclamation mark" in this thread would give you plenty results.. Come on, as helpful as this post is to the fellow Anheuer, it is just cluttering up the thread with redundant info.

Is it impossible to change the font size in a stock, unrooted phone as well? It seems like such a simple, basic, necessary thing to be perpetually broken.

Hi there, im new here =)

I've a problem using the current version of CyanogenMod 4.2.6. I read the whole day instructions, how to flash my HTC Magic (32B) with CM. This instruction helps me, to flash my HTC, but now my HTC hangs in bootscreen of vodafone.

What happened?

First I understood that I've Android 1.6 and have to downgrade, cause theres no possibility yet get root on 1.6. So I downgraded to 1.5:

I loaded vf-sappimg-crc24-1.33.0007.nbh, renamed it to sappimg.nbh and copied it to SD card. Rebooted my HTC with sound - and Power ON and followed the instructions -> Worked fine, after reboot all my settings was reseted, screen looks like the first day and firmware is on 1.5 -> deleted the .nbh

Now I installed appinstaller from the market, copied flashrec.apk on SD and installed it, too. I also copied these 2 files on SD:

update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2010-signed.zip (the latest? SPL ...)

update-cm-4.2.6-signed.zip

After that I run flashrec and downloaded cm-recovery-1.4.img, did a backup und flashed it. Then I restartet and pressed Home + Power -> and did a backup: nandroid v2.2 backup -> Backu complete ... perfect

Then "apply any zip from sd", choose the SPL first and executed it, did a wipe and installed the ROM ... After that i completed and booted my device -> now it hangs since half an hour in the Vodafonebootscreen.

I logged it with adb logcat:

- waiting for device -

Don't know what the problem is. Maybe a wrong recovery image? Cause here theyre talking about a modified recovery image (which is not the same like that)?

Does anybody here have an idea, what my problem is?

Thank you, hope u understand my bad english ;)

Hi,

basically im running sensehero Rom at the moment. I used to run cyanogen but as it could not run copilot i moved onto this rom now.

I was wondering will this will Cyanogen 4.2.6 be able to run copilot?
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
I think the question should rather read - Has CoPilot been updated to run on CyanogenMod? :)

upgrading from CyanogenMod-4.0.4

hey guys, I'm way overdue on an update, so not sure where to start exactly from my current build. I'm currently running CyanogenMod-4.0.4

Any advice on where to start would be appreciated. I've found various info but not sure which applies to me, if you have a direct link to the steps I'd appreciate it.

Will I have to re-install all my apps/data again? No biggie if so, but just wondering.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] tmrepp:
Got my Google Nav.. working with MT3G and Cyanogen's latest.

remove any previous version.

via adb:

Code:

adb remount

adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps

adb shell find /system /data -name \*google\*maps.apk\* -o -name Maps.apk "|" xargs rm

or

via Teminal:

Code:

mount -o remount,rw /system

pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps

find /system /data -name \*google\*maps.apk\* -o -name Maps.apk | xargs rm

Then go to market and install google maps.

add -f onto the 3rd command.... in either instance.. via ADP or via terminal
[G1 Android Development] niftymu:
I know on 4.2.5 (the previous version) CoPilot worked no problems, since then I've been using the updated Maps w/ Navi. What I'm saying is, I don't see why it wouldn't work on 4.2.6...it wouldn't hurt to try. :-)

-Nifty.
[G1 Android Development] JoelOFH:
Yes, you will. You have to flash a base image than Cyan's latest on top of it.

Go to Cyan's WIKI for instructions (link in his original post).

Enjoy!
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Why did you use those instructions, when you have instructions here?

Obviously, half of the population can't understand the link you posted, since it isn't in English...

Now, go to the first post, read and understand it, then go here:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...Android_1.6_.26_CyanogenMod_4.2.x.2F4.1.99.2B

Start at the File download section, download the HTC ADP rooted base, and continue.

You've missed a crucial step in flashing the CM, and also I don't think you understand the meaning of the "HTC recovery". This is the HTC ADP 1.6 rooted base image. You forgot to flash it, prior to flashing CM 4.2.6. Now, you have to reboot your phone into recovery (Home+Power), WIPE, flash the HTC ADP 1.6, (DON'T REBOOT!) and flash the CM 4.2.6 right over that. Then reboot... You should be OK.

On the SPL topic, your phone doesn't need the SPL you've flashed (2010). You should be using a less potentially dangerous SPL on your device, since it's got plenty of memory. You should try the SPL linked in my signature... nonetheless, if it is working now, you don't need to mess with it.

On the recovery image topic (the 2 links you've posted), you want to use Amon RA recovery on your device. It is optimized for devices with no physical keyboard.

Check this link too, there are instructions on flashing the recovery:

Was there ever a fix for paid/protected Market apps not showing up?

I still can't see MobileDefense (it's a protected app) on the Market. Ever since 4.2.6.
[G1 Android Development] Eclipse9069:
I will leave my phone charging over night and when I recieve a call in the morning the phone always hangs.. just vibrates no ringing, no nothing. Can't answer the call, and the phone will keep vibrating until I take out the battery.

I believe it's because of the BFS kernel... any ideas?

(and please don't tell me to not use BFS, anyone have any ideas on how to stop this is what i'm asking...i would like to have bfs but if I can't I can't.)
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
This kernel, and all previous for that matter, starting from 4.2 do NOT use BFS kernel.

Star your issue in the bug tracker please, and provide a log or /data/dontpanic/last_kmsg...

I'd like to take this opportunity and ask whoever put the tag BFS 302, to please DELETE IT!

Also, who ever put "Android 2.0", please delete it, it is not true... no matter how much you wish it was :P
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
Known issue, closed then reopened: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=647

I get the same thing without BFS. There are many variations. Ring, vibrate, or trackball flash until removing the battery. Awake or asleep. I seem to have temporarily resolved the issue with a complete wipe and format of SD before flashing 4.2.6, but this may be a coincidence (I did not reflash HTC recovery.)
[G1 Android Development] natv:
Is Cyanogen working on an Android 2.0 version?
[G1 Android Development] RAQemUP:
I think he meant that he applied BFS separately and he is hoping that his problem is not related because of this.
[G1 Android Development] kingmike26:
Hi, Im getting a G1, and I was wondering if I would be able to put CyanogenMod on it, and use the T-Mobile provided unlock code to use it under ATT?
[G1 Android Development] Eclipse9069:
Yes, I applied BFS separately when Cyanogen released the kernel.

I reformated the SDcard when I installed 4.2.5, should I reformat it?
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
There is something I noticed, and I'd like you guys to try it, and maybe shed some light on the topic if you can.

When I turn the phone off (standard procedure) it generates last_kmsg, A.K.A kernel panic. I don't think this is supposed to happen, so I would like to ask those who are interested to give it a try.

1. Go to terminal, or ADB shell and do

rm /data/dontpanic/*

2. Turn off the phone

3. Turn on the phone, and check the content of the mentioned directory data/dontpanic

In my case, I always find a new last_kmsg generated there.
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
I figured that, but you should be more specific. I know it's not (necessarily) BFS related, because people are getting it all over the place, even myself, and I don't use BFS kernel ever since it was taken out of CM.

I can give you a clue though... I have had this happen to me on 4.2.5 for the first time with CM, then Steve provided a new framework.jar (in the issue thread @code.google). After I've applied it, moved all my ringtones to /system/media, and that fixed it... I mean I haven't had a single occurrence since.

The question is though, did this framework make it into 4.2.6? Personally I haven't had a problem like this since I've flashed the new CM.
[G1 Android Development] Eclipse9069:
Sorry, I should have been more specific. I'm reading the issue thread on google code while in class and as soon as I get home I am going to try the new framework, move my ringtones to internal, and also re-flash hardSPL.

Thanks for the help!
[G1 Android Development] pershoot:
its not bfs related. it has happened to me once on 4.2.6 so far (except when it did happen, instead of blacking out, it actually made it to the lockscreen then locked up).

also had another lockup while trying to unmount sd and it was in the preparing sd card phase. dont know what that's about, but i'll keep on observing.
[G1 Android Development] oneG:
Non related

Crazy!!! Now that ive finally taken the plunge to flash this since CM4.0.4 (the best 1.5 IMHO) i look over and this just had to be Page 666. :eek:

hot damn.

and all the problems/bugs/issues addressed thus far is making me hesitant.

Naw im bullshitting...Im flashing as we speak...but still, spooky.
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
lol that depends on how you look at it. Set your thread display options to say 50 posts/page. :D then you see only 134 pages, and problem solved!

BTW, the issues aren't that bad, but just make sure you make the install as clean as possible.. I have very few issues, all of them I can live with so far.
[G1 Android Development] jay652:
Any chance we'll see an Eclair release before the video drivers are released? I could personally do without video for the time being, and would gladly sacrifice it for all of the updated features. I know that Cyanogen doesn't like to release things with bugs or nonoperating pieces, but what about an experimental version with a large disclaimer?
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
Like I said on the issue tracker, last_kmesg isn't necessarily a kernel panic, it's just the last x lines generated by the kernel. As far as I know it's automagically updated every new kernel line in the event it can't write during a crash, so that you know what was happening just before.

I don't see why it would be an issue to have it.
[G1 Android Development] xtenpeben:
he posted on twitter that he'll work on some bugs/issues on this donut build before releasing an eclair build he's been working on. whether video work idk lol, you have to ask him.

bluetooth bug

hello, i would like to know if anybody using the latest cyanogen mod (or 4.2.5) has experienced this bug.

1) While listening to music using bluetooth

2) Answer an incoming call

3) use the bluetooth headset to pickup phone call

4) Cannot hear any audio nor can the caller hear you talk

5) After ending the call, bluetooth is longer functional - system will eventually reboot after the crash.

I loaded back my 2 old roms - MyHero ROM using 1.5 and JD02 using android 2.0 and neither of them have this problem.

If it makes any difference, I am also using a 32A ROGERS magic handset.

I did a full wipe and loaded these files in the following order:

- HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83

- CyanogenMod 4.2.6

- bc-4.2.6-ebi1-signed.zip

Do I need to replace any additional bluetooth files to make this work?
