[G1 Android Development] kyuhasz:
I had the same issue.

It took me FOREVER, but I think I got it all working.

I was having two problems.. . first, I couldn’t get the expansion pack installed (only the base Donut from TMO). SG_Shadow advised installing the RA Dream Recovery image. I then had trouble installing that, saying “flash image not found”. So, here’s what I did. . .

Before you do anything, download the Backup for Root Users App in the market. It is free and it’s by BlackGinSoft. Run it as a backup (I selected all). Then, copy all your files from the SD card onto your laptop. Now, proceed as follows (this worked for me, no garuntees).

I reformatted my SD, yes completely wiped it. I tried installing the RA recovery, but still had the same error, so, I figured I must have to go back to where I began. . .

I first had to go back to my cupcake ROM that had all the bells and whistles. JF 1.51 ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=518408). I re-installed this ROM.

I then was able to save the RA-dream-v1.2.2.img to my sd (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=566669) then, by going to the terminal in my app trey, I typed in

su (press enter and if prompted, say always allow)

then I ran the instructions posted on the RA link above (text string pasted below) . . .

mount -a

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.2.img

I typed in “mount –a” and got an error of some sort, but kept moving on because of this great video by EmoGamer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaOusKHsATk) (THIS VIDEO SHOWS BASICALLY EVERYTHING, BUT OTHER LINKS ARE PROVIDED TO GIVE YOU READINGS STEP BY STEP)

I then was ready to move onto getting a Donut version. I chose TMo’s on the far left 1.9.2 (http://db.androidspin.com/android_b...oid_developer_id=21&NumberOfReleases=10&go=go) . Download the Base and Expansion files.

Then I followed the advice from SG_Shadow, mixed with EmoGamer’s video and here’s the steps I did (a hybrid)

1)	Back up apps to Backup App and then to Laptop. Then place your ROM zips on your SD.

2) Go to Recover Mode (Home + Power)

3) Wipe data/ factory reset (the Alt + W one)

4) Wipe SD: ext partition

5) Part EXT fat32 + ext2 + swap

6) Convert ext2 to ext3

7) Repair ext filesystem

8) Flash Rom	(I saved both Base and Expand on the SD and chose the Alt+A Sdcard choose zip and then chose the Base zip first).

8) Flash Expansion (same thing just choose the Expansion zip)

9) Boot, enjoy!

10) If for some reason the files didn’t show up, just reboot and put the files back on the SD. Some one can correct my steps (something may have erased them with all the wipping).

11) Place the BackupRoot folder back onto your SD card and go download that Backup for Root app again from the market. Get into the app and then restore all. The verdict is still out for my, but this seems to be adding all my apps back as I type this.

Everything seems fine, but I just did this moments ago and haven’ t had time to discover glitches.

GOOD LUCK!

By the way, the RA-dream recovery image IS awsome. The Backup App seams as promised as well. Awesome work by many people!!
