[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvGeNN2007:
If i start up phone with holding power+camera i only have recovery mode... I told that i cant get into boot mode and as result cant update DREAMIMG.nbh
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonnyFlash:
At this point, I'm going to say you're doing something wrong. Recovery mode is loaded by powering up the phone by Power+Home. If you've got the right file on your SD Card (remember the SD card HAS to be formatted as FAT32), and you do the Power+Camera, it should start with a screen with Red and blue bars, then go to a grey screen with blue font with instructions:

Press power button to start update image

Press action button to cancel update image (action button is the scroll-ball).

I'd try making sure your phone is off, hold that camera button in, then press power and don't release it until you see the red and blue screen.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvGeNN2007:
Yes i know what is boot mode... I cant get into it... i press and hold and it correct(i have another a g1 ) but after logo t-mobile and then triangle with "!" ...i know when get into boot mode the red and blue screen start without t-mo logo...(((
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonnyFlash:
:( I guess that's the part I wasn't getting. At this point it seems way over my head, I can't find an RC29 update.img. I'm imagining that the reason it has to be done from the DREAIMG.nbh boot mode is because it has to flash some hardware, like radios from that level. I wish you luck though on your venture, sorry couldn't help any further.

I suppose one thing you could try is to put an update.img from a stock rom on your SD try to update it and then test the camera to see if the button maybe broken. That's the only thing I can really think of at this.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvGeNN2007:
Thanks I will try...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvGeNN2007:
Hi

Today I tried many and many roms...but only one really flashed it's RC28 i found it here http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.p...Mobile_.2A.2AUS.2A.2A_G1_Over_The_Air_Updates

all steps are correct radio system copying files and other... And after reboot it get into recovery...i reboot another one...but recovery... and Maybe it because bad woks keys? I mean for example Home key is always pressed and as a result, can't boot and always recovery???

What did you say?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonnyFlash:
It's way beyond my knowledge level.

um, from the start you should have had BOTH the htc recovery image and cyanogen's update. Sounds like you flashed the recovery image then booted without flashing cyanogens update. Follow Cyanogen's instructions carefully. Skipping steps causes problems :rolleyes:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dflipb:
Finally I can help someone! Yippie

Ok I had the same problem.

What I did was to just boot my phone. It came up having the developer version. I skipped the logging in part. Then I just rerooted my phone using this method

real easy. and Kicked me up to the latest Cyanogen version!

Let me know if you have problems.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pershoot:
this happened to me yesterday while working with the htc recovery image. recovery was hosed, and was left with default recovery (which comes with phone), which does not use test keys, hence could not flash any update which uses it.

i needed to fastboot flash the recovery which uses test keys to revive it.

this assumes you have an appropriate spl installed.

-hold back while powering on phone (until you see skating androids)

-install USB driver on PC located in sdk

-download recovery and put it in tools directory (where sdk is located)

-go to cmd prompt: cd SDK\tools

-fastboot devices (make sure you see your connected g1)

-fastboot flash recovery ./RECOVERY.IMG

if all is well, it will say OK after flash

reset phone (i forget the menu option in fastboot on the phone), then hold down power and home. you will get to recovery which uses test keys and can proceed as normal.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SarahKH:
Ok. I've somehow ended up with an ADP1 rom installed (for some reason known only to itself the thing didn't want to install CM, looked like it did... but didn't) and a blitzed recovery.

In short the phone has unrooted itself and reverted to somewhere odd.

All and I mean ALL I have is a ! in a triangle.

(press hold) HOME + power on, ! in a triangle.

ALT+L does nothing. No test displayed, just the ! in a triangle.

ALT+W appears to do wipe as it should.

(press hold) CAMERA + turn on does nothing. There are no blue/red lines, because there is no JF/CM stuff installed any more. It boots normally. And yes the button works fine.

(press hold) BACK + turn on does nothing. There are no droids a skatin' on my phone. It boots normally. Again the button works fine.

I've installed a terminal and tried some basic commands:

su = permission denied

sudo = permission denied

busybox = permission denied

flash = permission denied

fastboot = permission denied

I'm going to try an RC29 as "update.zip" and crank a telnetd up, see if that works. But any advice or pointers in the mean time would be appriciated.

Update: Nope it won't take RC29. I'm running out of ideas quite quickly here.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
You can't flash RC29 as an update.zip

You have to be able to get into the SPL holding cam+power

if not

adb shell reboot bootloader

then flash RC29
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SarahKH:
Roger, installing the SDK and Android drivers now and I'll report back (once I coax the SDK in to erm... working. It's gone all modular).

Despite everywhere saying cam+power, it just ain't so. I don't think the phone has SPL any more.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SarahKH:
Ok, adb shell reboot bootloader. Technicolour screen. No function from keyboard, no function from 'chin' buttons.

I've also tried fastboot devices and it lists nothing.

Retried all previously mentioned actions. No function. I've repartitioned my 8GB sd in to one huge FAT32, put DREAMIMG.nbh on it and it's been now sat in the Red/Green/Blue/White screen for a good 10min. Although "Serial0" did appear when I pulled the USB cable.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
If you're in bootloader (and it sounds like you are), you simply press the red Power button to start flashing dreaimg.nbh.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SarahKH:
Pressed power/call end button. No change.

Does the nbh file need to be all lowercase?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:

File downloaded: DREAIMG-RC29.zip

File Extracted from zip: DREAIMG.nbh

G1 still showing "bootloader" and doesn't appear to want to budge other than yoinking out the battery.

Different tact. If I copy cm-restore to the sdcard then

adb root

adb shell

cat /sdcard/cm-restore > <somewhere>

Would that get a restore on that responds to the keypresses people keep mentioning and thus allow going to a cm rom?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SarahKH:
cm-recovery-1.4.img now flashed. Recovery in progress.

For those wondering, poke around the cm wiki for the "So you're stuck with an ADP1/ION whilst trying to go to 4.1.99+" article. It includes a download for flash_image with allows you to bypass the whole RC29/RC8 shennanigans and blitz the recovery with a more... useful one.

However, despite cat /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img > /system/recovery.img creating the image, you do have to do everything in one hit (basically if it boots the ADP1 image it replaces everything you just did). So get all the files on the sdcard, flash it, recovery console and then apply any zip.

No idea if this will also make camera + power on work, but I doubt it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
Camera+Power is to get into the SPL (i.e. bootloader). Try it out and see if that gets you into the bootloader for ****s and giggles. But to be honest, you'll probably want to flash an updated SPL anyway, especially if you ever want to run a Hero ROM. Follow the link in my sig to flash the new Radio and Haykuro's "Danger" SPL. Just remember to flash them IN THAT ORDER, or YOU WILL BRICK.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
Don't boot on the ADP image, thats whats causing all the problems due to the scripts being installed that revert everything to stock on reboot and the missing SU binaries that allow you to use su in console

[G1 Apps and Games] Carloswithac:
Not sure if you need root to install the Advanced Launcher.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=540880

Give it a shot. Make sure you enable the phone to install third-party applications.
[G1 Apps and Games] jay652:
Pull Cyanogen's launcher from his ROM over in the development section, and try installing that with any of the app-installer apps. It's basically a 5-screen, no-frills launcher. That should work.
[G1 Apps and Games] jay652:
That one should work too, at least the standalone version should. Of course, it has a bit more features than the default or Cyanogen versions, so if you really want to keep it simple, you may want to stick with either of those.
[G1 Apps and Games] su27:
Yes! Advanced Launcher is what i wanted. Thank you all for help.

It works very well with official Donut.

i looked up on the xdadeveloperWiki and they said taht my phone is German as my phone's model number is T7272, I bought my phone from england via another buyer, i was wondering whether this info could be right if i did flash the rom with this german vodafone rom will the language be in german?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] silentP:
You should be able to flash any language ROM to your phone you want. I looked up the original vodophone ROM on the wiki for a T7272, http://www.vodafone.de/downloadarea....1_Radio_Sign_52.63.25.34_1.14.25.05_Ship.exe, so this should be what you need. Before you flash anything, please continue to read the wiki and stickied posts and HardSPL your phone. It'll save you lots of trouble.

Best of luck my friend.

It does not matter from where you the phone came from, you can flash ROM's of any language, as long as they are for the same phone model

Ive unsucessfully used the search function to found somethread like this

As a community we are here of Blackstone users, im curious whether will upgrade to HD2?

Actually im satisfied with the HD as i can do everything i need, especially with the ROMs we found here. But i think its question of time that ROM-makers migrate do Leo, isnt it?

[Touch HD General] veehexx:
no for me...

more todo with the HD being a work phone. not sure when im due for a replacement but as most places int he current climate - we aint replacing much kit unless it's essential.

HD does me perfect really. does everything i need it to.... although it could be a bit quicker!
[Touch HD General] tikejhya:
i love winmo..which is coming to extreme soon

ofcourse yes

i would like to upgrade

i read opinion out here .. for me I made a query aswell if i could upgrade it or not like what iphone 2g did with 3g 100£ and upgrade option..:rolleyes:

for me what i think is htc touch hd is great but two things missing on it...

i.e Responsive ness (really important for being quicker "as someone mentioned up" about htc touch hd not being quicker)

second is multitouch gives lots time saving on internet browsing what i learnt using iphone....

solution on htc touch hd2

multitouch and responsive ness as it uses sensitive (capacitive) screen which is in detailed mentioned on general forum aswell.

of course i am winmo lover as i hate toy type of things and the hype iphone has got.. (yet considering the usability and ease of use it has provided for general users,) i believe our htc touch hd is real tool.

in the end i would love to upgrade if there is anything like upgrade option....... as i still have my 8 months left on contract. :mad:
[Touch HD General] twocandles:
I'd love to, but it's too expensive to consider. I never spent so much in a mobile before as with the HD, and it must last another year at least to be worth the spent.
[Touch HD General] Terrorhuhn:
In most cases if there is something REALLY new on the market, it's a bit like a beta version.

See the first Iphone without 3g, touch hd with rarely supported screensize and the little bit too slow processor, or the first directx 10 cards with to slow performance for this technology, ...

Products with big "improvements" are mostly a little bit beta, so i think it's good to wait and look what's in the future

[Touch HD General] Cruzer1:
Picked 4th one :D.

Hoping when the winmo7 version comes out, it'll have:

* the front face videocalling camera again (i like how it gives me the option to make videocalls and portrait pics with my gf and mates by giving a preview)

* maybe an even narrower, thinner, shorter body (same 4.3in screen)

* over 1350mah battery size

* that stylus they patented

others I'd like to see:

* Not necessary, but front-touch buttons like the HD. Unless they implement hardware buttons alot better than the HD2 (imo the layout and shape looks ugly)

* oled-amoled screen
[Touch HD General] mtrance:
My initial reaction to leak specs and pictures was:

No....not enough improvements for me to consider

When 6.5 Leo ROMs came out I was like:

Upgrade? I can have WM 6.5 on my HD!

After reading more reviews and videos:

I’m considering.....

Now:

Is it a question? Of course, yes!

Can't wait for delivery.
[Touch HD General] xam73:
It is too big IMHO.HD is perfect sized.

But the capacitive screen and the Snapdragon are so attractive...

It's a hard choice :(
[Touch HD General] JanSchotsmans:
The faster CPU, multitouch (FINALLY) and the bigger screen make me find it worth the upgrade.

As for WM6.5 on the HD, ok, it works, but the HD is still, as it always was, underpowered for such a big display.

Only under the best and freshest of circumstances does it run smooth.

The new gen CPU should change this considerably.

And get ready, my supplier states HD2 to be deliverable on the 6th!
[Touch HD General] Raptordin:
will have to 2nd that.

Have chosen Option 4.

More CPU Power is good but it is too big now (Not a problem though) and the removal of the front cam and stylus is really bad.

Better camera software is needed and flash should be better.
[Touch HD General] MNilson:
just to post a quote from msmobiles
[Touch HD General] anaadoul:
i'm really thinking about it, but i think i will wait for the next device announcement.

i guess it will have a smaller screen (capacitive also, maybe 3.8?) with snapdragon 1ghz processor and QWERTY keyboard.

that's what i need :D
[Touch HD General] SingaporeAirlines:
Yes - the Touch HD's poor processor is annoying me everyday. It can't even handle predictive text when sending an SMS in a timely fashion.

It was great at the time, but it's now time for the HD2.
[Touch HD General] varunsonu:
i would skip because i already spent a fortune on hd so it should atleast last another year...

but the snapdragon and capacitive touchscreen really makes you drool
[Touch HD General] globiboulga:
Thought about upgrading, but then it's a really expensive phone that only corrects the HD shortcoming (power, speed, camera, capacitive...)

I will wait for the next generation of devices, and an OLED screen before I upgrade. The next question for me will be to decide between Android v2.0 (it's now only starting to become a real alternative to winmo if the Exchange support is done correctly), and Windows Mobile 7.0

Frankly at the minute, from what I see of WinMo 7, I am not impressed at all...:(
[G1 Apps and Games] zayg1:
Here is a concept I came up with for a custom lockscreen on android. Basically all you do to unlock it is to connect the two rings using multi-touch (basically pinching them together). Of course I haven't made it cuz I'm not to good with making apps and such, I mostly do graphics. If a rom cooker such as Cyanogen, Jester, justanothercowd, kingklik, ccyrowski, etc. wants to try to make it useable in one of their builds feel free to PM me. Again this is not an app or a finished product that can be used right now, but is an idea or a concept of a custom lockscreen. idk if it can actually be made or anything. Please post some feedback and maybe we can discuss a way on how to get custom lockscreens. I will b willing to make some more too.
[G1 Apps and Games] zayg1:

[G1 Apps and Games] skat325is:

Free bump for you.
[G1 Apps and Games] jasonpeinko:
I created something similar with but with only one circle like the ophone unlock. It would not be hard to make work with multitouch if only i had multi touch hardware.
[G1 Apps and Games] zayg1:
so it is perfectly possible?
[G1 Apps and Games] MOONSSPOON:
Having to pinch those two rings together every time I wanted to unlock my phone would be a nightmare.
[G1 Apps and Games] mrnv45:
lol i like it... but i wonder how close u can truly pinch!... lol..but its a nice idea.. maybe just to have the circles touch...

its like a drunk test lol..
[G1 Apps and Games] h.nocturna:
I don't *think* its possible because the G1 is not true multi-touch. The multi-touch we have is emulated and doesn't detect the position of two "touches". Instead, it detects the distance between the two touches allowing us to multi-touch zoom, but not much else. Sorry if I rained on your parade, but I might be wrong!
[G1 Apps and Games] maek_it_happen:
second this motion
[G1 Apps and Games] zayg1:
What motion??? To make it or that you don't think it's possible too???
[G1 Apps and Games] Wisefire:
Is this available anywhere?
[G1 Apps and Games] jasonpeinko:
It is not. i did not know how much interest there would be, so i never polished it. I guess i could wrap it up for release.

As for the pinch idea it depends on the hardware, it is not possible on the g1 becuase the screen does not support multi touch, only very very crude one.
[G1 Apps and Games] matt_stang:
...that's not true
[G1 Apps and Games] jasonpeinko:
what is not true?
[G1 Apps and Games] mushipkw:
It'll require both hande to unlock, one to hold phone & second to pinch.
[G1 Apps and Games] zayg1:
Yeah but how cool would it be to show it off, and be like "Try and find this app on the market!!!" lmao. It's merely a concept of what would be cool to have as a lockscreen.
