i feel stupid, but i can't do it... using the description to get to telnet, but all it does is open a browser window showing me search results for telnet
[G1 Android Development] buzzdroidx:
have you tried just unzippimg the 421 rom amd draggin the IME.apk itself to the sdcard? and then the commands?

and maybe deleting the old one or uninstalling it first? just asking maybe its corrupted from the zip in download maybe try redownloading etc?

just covering bases here rob your probably more advanced at this than i am

Flawlessly works in Bluetooth and in WIFI mood!!! I posted it worked a few pages back
[G1 Android Development] buzzdroidx:
Yes! i used an old version of signed wifi tether 1.51 used an apk installer installed it it then updated to a newer version and tried it with my laptop it works. i did get a couplee fc,s though but it worked stably while connected
[G1 Android Development] shmigao:
but how do i get back

now that i have the HTC recovery image, i cannot use "install any zip"... that means, i can only install "update.zip"... with 2 files to be installed that's impossible w/o fully booting, renaming the other file, and trying to install it as "update.zip".

so i am in a catch 22 situation now, because what ever I try i just can't get the cm-recovery-1.4.img flashed - i tried everything, but whether i use adb shell or terminal emulator it always says:

flash_image: not found

recovery flasher is not working either (backup fails)

i tried to downgrade via DREAIMG.nbh, but it won't allow that

no allow error

........ how did your friend solve the problem?

Constant crashes with 4.2.1

After flashing 4.2.1.on top of 4.1.999 (4.1.9999 caused too many random reboots to be usable), I'm getting constant crashes (not random anymore).

Log attached.

Keep the good work. Just wanted to contribute with this report.
[G1 Android Development] buzzdroidx:
use the link in my sig and look down the page in the first post and finf the current rom and put it on your sdcard and remove the other 2 files. if you have to then rename it

after your booted into the rom then get either cyanogens recovery or aman ras recovery and in a terninal window follow the install instructions and you will have themenu your looking for at boot time

if you want to continue with the 2 files you do have on there just reboot and follow the instructions maybe a little more carefully it seems you MAY have failed somewhere in those steps.
[G1 Android Development] buzzdroidx:
one thing i have seen several people mention is to reload the rom a second time. maybe wipe maybe clear dalvik or even try the fix_permissions fixes. the rom runs fine for me i came from .999 and i had used the full load out of it as in my sig link. i didnt even have to do a wipe and its running very very nicely
[G1 Android Development] AustinKnight45:
If you haven't wiped then try that out.Your ext might need a wipe too.
[G1 Android Development] shmigao:
thanks... but...

thanks, ... but my problem now is that i don't have cm-recovery image.

when trying to flash to cm-recovery-1.4.img it gives me following error:

flash_image: not found

i am desperate
[G1 Android Development] buzzdroidx:
if you have a way to get the file or files on your flash card then all you have to do is rename to update.zip and start with the hold home + end to boot it up and follow the instructiuons from there. I would suggest this file-http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zdm2nnnyjdy and then follow the instructions. If you have lost root tall together which i am guessing you havent, but if you have then search these forums for regaining root. Im not sure that you are aware that the recovery file required for the new rom is NOT a replacement for the 1.4 cyanogen recovery tool. it is merely named recovery as there are 2 files to pick from on the linked page in his guide. the recovery file is signified as the correct one. im telling youif these 2 files are there then just follow the instructiond very carefully

heck for that matter just find any older rom and boot into it and go from there
[G1 Android Development] shmigao:
i feel i am slowly clogging this space

i am awfully sorry... but over the months everything has worked, just today i seem to have hit a dead end.

this is where i am now:

- i have the HTC recovery screen, because something went wrong earlier

- on the HTC recovery screen, any update (whether 2 files, or 1) will abort

- when trying to flash cm-recovery-1.4.img i get a "flash_image: not found" error

that means whatever i do, it doesn't work. tried to go back to older builds via DREAIMG.NBH - failed

tried to use Recovery Flasher - failed

:(
[G1 Android Development] :
Enomther now has 2 base ROM's available.

One that's ADP (based on DRC83) and another one that is AOSP (based on DRC92).

Which one is better to install before installing CM4.2.1 on my Magic?
[G1 Android Development] flashfox:
Problem going from 4.1.999 to 4.2.1

FYI (for others)

G1 was fully functional with Cyanogen 4.1.999. Copied 4.2.1 to the SD card's root directory then proceeded to flash as usual. Unfortunately, the phone stopped on the "T-Mobile G1" screen and sat there. Had to pull the battery.

Re-installed 4.2.1 (same source file) and this time the G1 went past the "T-Mobile G1" screen and presented the "ANDROID" (Cyanogened) logo screen. After almost >> 10 minutes <<, the main screen appeared.

Moral: Be patient!

Note 1: I did not wipe the G1 first (never had to do so up to 4.1.999 nor did I have any problems afterward)

Note 2: 8GB Class 6 SD card has a 1GB ext3 partition which was used since 4.1.99.
[G1 Android Development] hiroots:
Sigh. If you get problems an automatic light bulb should pop in ya head. Just make a new partition for ext and linux swap if you have that part. Wipe and repair and flash the htc rom then flash cyans rom. Pm me for more help.
[G1 Android Development] Xidroid:
Was running 4.1.9999 on my 32B. Upgraded to 4.2.1.

No wipe. Fix_Permissions.

All went well. As usual for me I got a FC when starting the browser. Cleared the data and cache, restored bookmarks from "Backup for Root" and all is well.

So far so good.

There is a noticeable improvement in speed from .9999. The keyboard is more responsive. The browser is the fastest I think I've ever seen it.

The last few versions I've had a lot of lag on the ring. By the time the ring became audible I had about 2 seconds to answer. Now it begins ringing very quickly and I have about 4 rings to pick up. Much improved.

I'm not using apps2sd since I have plenty of room on the 32B. I'd like to use the userinit.sh to enable a linux swap. How can I set up an ext partition but keep the ROM from automatically pushing all my apps to it?
[G1 Android Development] flashfox:
Updated my previous post. All is running now

Essentially, after I posted the original message, I was going to restore 4.1.999 (used NANDROID prior to update), wipe and retry. However, before doing this, I simply tried to reinstall the update and that time it worked.

As for the "light bulb", it might not be that obvious for a non Linux user.
[G1 Android Development] buzzdroidx:
have you tried reformatting the sdcard and then adding the files again? when the command asks you to ..."flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img" just make sure that the name of the file is indeed the same if the file is named even a little different, then type out the command to match it IDENTICALLY. maybe you have a simple syntax error. sorry im trying and remove the battery and reinstall it give the device a fresh start
[G1 Android Development] t1n0m3n:
Does anyone else use Power Manager? I was having all sorts of issues until I uninstalled it.
[G1 Android Development] buzzdroidx:
shmigao maybe your sdcard took a crap. maybe try another one or reformatting the one you have the other suggestion is to look at the "bricked" threads for help.
[G1 Android Development] rschuman90:
I'm on my phone browser right now and it seems to be the fastest I've ever seen it as well, and I'm not even connected on wifi yet :D
[G1 Android Development] shmigao:
thanks

thanks. i reformatted, same problem

- i don't think it's the SD-card... i seem to have root (su command works fine in terminal & adb shell)... just all attempts to flash the new cm rom, or cm's recovery image fail.

i wish i could downgrade the phone back to an old build, but that seems not leading anywhere either.

it's not bricked. phone works fine - i just have to live without CM in future, it seems

[G1 Android Development] MarvinTheAndroid:
After a brief flirtation with enomther's "TheOfficial DONUT TMO US/EU & AOSP-1.6_r1.2" ROM I have returned to the fold.

Personally I find Cyanogen's 4.2 ROM to be much smoother and a lot more responsive.

My route back to Cyanogen was as follows:

* Installed Amon_RA's excellent Recovery mod

* Wiped data + cache (factory reset)

* Wiped ext partition on SD-card

* Wiped Dalvik-cache on SD-card

Then installed as per Cyano's excellent first post instructions.

Thanks Cyano. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] crypticc:
Somebody else can chip in, but I don't think there's much difference as Cyanogens scripts backup known files only. FYI you want to catch it and overlay CM before booting (I was running Enom's roms and exp packs for a bit and needed to wipe and reinstall again because otherwise most of the files end up on your ext partition.)

Wanted to share CyanogenMod 4.2.1 with the BFS image in it (It's the image Cyanogen created, so all the credits to him, I only put it together and signed the package):

http://rapidshare.com/files/297656090/update-cm-4.2.1-bfs-signed.zip.html

Tested, and works. But keep in mind that BFS isn't yet fully stable (though everyone was using it in prev. versions (4.1.9 and so on were all using it)).

Maybe someone else also posted it... if that is the case, just ignore this post. (Yes it's the same as 4.2.1 from Cyanogen, it only uses BFS (which is faster), not CFS (which is currently included in 4.2.1)), have fun using it.

5.) I finally did a wipe, then re-applied HTC's 1.6 recovery image followed by cyanogen's 4.2.1 recovery. Again at HTC Dream logo. Waited 20 minutes.

6.) Reflashed 4.2.1 again, rebooted and now still at HTC Dream logo. Still waiting.

[G1 Android Development] Afirejar:
It should be gone for everyone who ever went directly from a Cyanogen 4.1.99 or later to Cyanogen 4.1.99 or later since last flashing the ADP1.6 ROM.

It should be there for everyone who flashed the ADP ROM before going to 4.2.

Cyanogen's backup script doesn't take into account that some filenames are different on CyanogenMOD from what they are on the dev phone, so those get lost.

I already logged an issue about that:

If you go back 2 pages, you will see: http://rapidshare.com/files/297656090/update-cm-4.2.1-bfs-signed.zip.html

4.2.1 with bfs.

Cyanogen has excluded BFS because it isn't completely stable, and since 4.2 should be stable, he removed it, but he did create a kernel(image) with bfs included, so I used that version and created 4.2.1 WITH bfs.

[G1 Android Development] Rapax:
Ok, I seem to have run into some trouble. Any hints are very welcome.

I was running 4.1.9999999999 (or however many 9's there were, the latest one) with any problems and noticed that the Cyanogen Updater was showing the 4.2.1 (surprise!).

I decided to try it, and it seemed to work fine, rebooted and came up to the main screen. All my data seem to have been preserved to. However, GMail and Market close immediately after opening (half a second or so). All other apps seem to work fine.

So I rebooted into recovery, and proceeded with the described steps:

1) NAND backup

2) wipe

3) dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip

4) cm-4.1.99-signed.zip

5) fix permissions

But all I get (in the console) is a one line error message about /data/system/apps.xml not being found.

I restored from the backup and ran fix_permissions. This time, it ran though as usual. I rebooted and am now back where I was. 4.2.1 running, but market and GMail refusing to start.

Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] Afirejar:
You can solve this with either an engineering spl (with almighty fastboot) or with adb.

If you're still on the stock spl, unzip /system/bin/flash_image from the CyanogenMod zip (it was omitted from the 1.6 official roms for some reason), push it to /system/bin on your phone and run 'flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img' (or wherever you have it).
[G1 Android Development] shmigao:

I came from a complete wipe (ext included.) Power Manager (along with everything else) was installed from the market not a backup. Oh and yes, I am talking about the paid version as well.

Everything seemed OK for a few hours and then I got a phone call and the phone just started freaking out. Half the screen went blank, then froze and it finally semi-rebooted itself after a few minutes. (It dropped to the Android loading screen and appeared to reload the OS.) Once it came back up, I got a Power Manager FC on each subsequent reboot until I uninstalled it.
[G1 Android Development] Silence66:
flashed the 4.2.1 without a wipe on my sapphire (came from 4.1.9999). works so far perfect:) i got some big issues with 4.1.9999 (borken connection, missing sms, not shown incoming calls, ...), but seemed that they are all gone in the new rls. also it is really faster then the .9999er.

and thanks for the AudioPara4.csv, so i don't have to push it manually after every upgrade;)

big thx for the new rls

Similar problem.

I run into a similar problem trying to update my recovery image once. Fastboot wouldn't see the image file. The solution for my was to rename the file and eliminat all the dashes underscres etc. To something like image.img. After fastboot found the file OK.

Hope your problem is sometning that simple.

[G1 Android Development] t1n0m3n:
Hmm, I installed Power Manager again, ran fix_permissions, and rebooted a couple of times. Each time I still got FC from it upon boot. (After pressing menu for the first time to get into the phone on a reboot.)

Anyway, I ran it again after the FC, and configured it the way I usually do. (I hadn't gotten around to configuring it yet after flashing 4.2.1.) After that I rebooted a few times and no more FC. It appears to be working properly now. ?? Weird.
[G1 Android Development] sagementor:
i think it is something to do with the packages.xml which rebuilds itself in reboots. Sometimes I can solve FC (especially those related with google partnership) by delete the packages.xml in /data/system/ and let it rebuilds completely..

I read there are a lot of people with installation issues.... There is nothing wrong with this rom at all, everything works great... If you have any rom issues or installation issues do the following step by step... by the time you're done you WILL have the fastest donut build around...

Requirements... download the following....

HTC Recovery Image (this is a ROM, not a recovery): http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s3 (Download the one named: signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip)

CM Rom 4.2.1 (found in post #1)

You must already be running CM Recovery 1.4 (or a custom recovery)

Do this... download the HTC System Image (link above) and CM-Update-4.2.1 (in post #1) and put on the root of your SDCard.

(My instructions are to do a wipe and clean your ext partition. By the time you're done you'll have a clean/fast install of 4.2.1)

- Reboot into recovery.

- Go into console.

- type: mount /system/sd

- type: rm -r /system/sd/*

- type: reboot recovery

- When recovery starts again, Repair EXT

- Wipe...

- Install the HTC ADP Rom, it'll take you back to the recovery...

- While at the recovery, hit Reboot...

- It'll start to install the Radio... Keep an eye on the phone... as soon as the screen goes black hit and HOLD the HOME Key (phone will reboot back into recovery)

- While in recovery now flash the 4.2.1 update.... reboot and it'll start in about 2-3 mins (Atleast for me it was faster than usual, using a G1)
