Lol That's the bootloader, dude.

Anyways, I really doubt you're bricked. If you can get into recovery(power + home) you're not bricked.

Just go through the process of installing cyanogen's rom again- the htc recovery then the rom, etc.

Also, about the problems you had with cyanogen's rom. Obviously they're not problems with the rom, seeing how it works fine for the majority. You just need to figure out what you're doing wrong.

Move this thread already.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
I say do a fresh install. Wipe everything, install the HTC recovery image first, then install Cyan's latest.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prezzor:
I did get my phone working again. thanks to everyone who helped out!

I ended up re-installing 'dreaimg.nbh', reverting back to the original OS from tmobile. during this process,I assume re-wrote the radio firmware, thus fixing my problem. (correct me if I am wrong)

And of course, I went back to cyanogen 4.2.9 in the end!

Hi, im going to buy a MicroSDHC 8gb, Class 4, but im not sure if it is compatible, can someone say me if whether is compatible?

thanks
[G1 Accessories] ID#:
8GB are supported. I use a 8GB Class 4 by myself, without probs.
[G1 Accessories] .victor:
thanks you very much :D One last question, doesnt affect if is microSD or microSDHC?
[G1 Accessories] PaoloWeckl:
im using a nokia 8gb class 4 recovered from a craked 5800 and is working fine.
[G1 Accessories] nmw407:
I do believe anything over 4gb is classified as a SDHC. If you can get a class 6 that would be better as it is faster.
[G1 Accessories] psychoace:
16gig's works as well with the possibility of 32. I just don't know if anyone has tried 32gig's
[G1 Accessories] H@OBouget:
I don't even know of any 32gb micro sd card for sale.

Newegg doesn't carry them.

I am running a 16gb Ridata class 6 and it works fine.

However for the price, I would have to suggest a sandisk Ultra 8gb micro sd

It has about 3 times the read speed as my class 6.

They are both about $50

I wanted more space for media storage and I port around several apps that I use on different computers.
[G1 Accessories] psychoace:
I don't know of anyone who carries them either but 32 gig's is part of the Micro SDHC standard and on adverts for best buy I do notice the logo for some phones that they can accept 32gigs cards. They are around though but I believe mostly in Asia and in small numbers.

Also I'm not sure but I don't think the slot on the G1 takes advantage of anything faster then class 6 for SDHC memory cards. This is because it would draw more voltage and the device might get to hot.
[G1 Accessories] Suminderji:
32GB Class 4's are supported.

Thats too big, and probably expensive. Should be saving those pennies for nexus..
[G1 Accessories] DAG425:
I just purchased a 32GB microSDHC on ebay for under $30!!! Just got it in the mail and have been testing it to make sure it actually works, and it works fine. I am having a few problems. Nothing really major, just some issues between the phone, Windows 7, and Lucid Lynx Ubuntu. The phone, as well as Windows 7 only recognizes 31.2 GB and Ubuntu recognizes 34GB. I am unable to partition the card for Apps2SD with the console, parted, or in Ubuntu. In Amon RA's recovery it says it has partitioned the card but the time it takes to do it is too fast. In parted I get an input\output error and it asks me if i want to retry\ignore\cancel and parted is only recognizing 33.6GB. If i retry or cancel in parted it goes through and the print command says my partitions are there as I have set them up but the phone and Ubuntu don't recognize them and disk utility in Ubuntu says my ext partition is not clean when I run the partition check. I don't know what else to try and have put this here only because the 32GB card is mentioned. Any and all help and info is very much appreciated.

Sorry dude, I think you were scammed. eBay is notorious for these fake cards. Allow me to explain.

A lot of this stuff popped up when the PSP came out. People wanted cheap Memory Stick Pro Duo cards. These manufacturers found a way to hack the sectors, making the card look bigger than it actually is. You could make a 1gb card look like a 4gb card.

Firstly, you would get tons of I/O errors. This is because it is trying to address places that simply don't exist.

Secondly, the memory would fail at random intervals. This was because they bought cheap flash chips.

The problem is that there is no way to guarantee authenticity from eBay unless you're buying it direct from the manufacturer.

IMO, only buy Sandisk products. They are the only ones reliable out there. And yes, they aren't the cheapest, but they are the most reliable.

Here is the best pricing I could find for you:

Being though Amazon, you can trust it IMO.

Hi

I have a "problem" with contacts and autoupdate.

I have configured activesync to get the contacts from gmail, but when they sync it, I can only see one contact with their photo. Others doesn't appear.

I have tried to sync contacts with activesync and outlook contacs, with gmail account and with booth, but I can only get the photo of one of them.

Anyone knows how to solve that?
[HD2 General] venky80:

hi,

i have the exact problem ,can anyone help ???

Really appreciate it.
[HD2 General] ian_uk1975:
I've just spent well over an hour (maybe 2) re-configuring (and re-installing apps on) my HD2 after installing the latest ROM.

Is there an app somewhere that can 'image' the phone so that you don't have to re-install and re-configure everything after installing ROM updates?

I thought 'My Phone' might save phone settings at least, but it doesn't.
[HD2 General] optiknerv:
Something like spb backup can but is really not recommended to use it to restore backups when changing roms. Ok just for hardresets but can cause problems between roms.

Maybe sashimi would work even?
[HD2 General] Lucius Snow:
That's a very interesting question. It takes a such long time to configure everything ...
[HD2 General] dagrim1:
Sashimi is really worth looking in to...

It can install cabs, import registries, copy files, execute .exe and run scripts. I already use it to install all my applications, import some registry stuff, auto run pimbackup and rename the bluetooth files tomtom messes up.

Shortcuts on home screen, favourites in ppl tab, favorites for opera are all found in the registry/folders so it is also possible to back these up.

It's a real timesaver (haven't been able to restore email accounts yet though)
[HD2 General] trikanth:
Same here...I have spent around 5 hrs to configure it back to my settings...and more over some of the applications that I have installed I don't have the .cab file....again I have to search for them...atleast a tool which export the information like home screen short cuts..fav contacts...list of applications installed would help if a backup software is not possible...
[HD2 General] donnaw:
SPB backup does have a "custom backup" option that allows you to pick and choose ( reg, apps, PIM), folders, etc.). You might download the trial and try it to see if it meets your needs.
[HD2 General] mskip:
Sashimi is the best program you could want to reinstall apps and settings its easy to set up and once you have put everything in the right folder then its pretty straght forward to use everytime you install a new rom or hard reset.
[HD2 General] erosennin:
I use SPB Backup, does the job flawlessly. ;)

Hi,

I am able to connect to gprs automatically (also works wifi). My problem is I don't want my gprs to start connecting itself (showing the gprs connection box with "cancel" and "hide" buttons). Instead, I want a dialog box appear to ask me if I want to connect to gprs. If say "yes" only then it should connect. I don't want to be automatically connected when I use windows live messenger, google map or any tryout softwares in my phone.

[General Questions and Answers] JesusFreak316:
A while back I bought a Samsung SCH-I760 off Ebay for $100. I chose it because, at the time, it was the best phone that could be activated on Verizon without a data plan. However, by the time I got around to activating it, Verizon changed the rule from all phones after October '08 to all smartphones period. Now I am stuck with a Wi-fi PDA instead of a phone as I can't justify paying for a data plan. I have become unsatisfied with my I760 because of its lack of GPS, low ram, and most of all, its lack of a rom cooking scene. I am now looking for a phone for $50-$100 with the following features in decreasing importance:

1. Wifi (necessary as I won't be activating the phone)

2. An active rom cooking scene

3. Hardware keyboard

4. GPS

5. VGA or WVGA screen

6. 128+ MB ram

7. Faster processor than 400 mhz

8. Bigger screen than 2.5 in

9. Multitouch lol can't think of much else

The phone doesn't need to be unlocked, as I wn't be activating it. However a GSM phone would be nice, as I might be able to eventually use a normal phone plan's sim card in it, but far from a dealbreaker. Probably my dream phone(in this pricerange at least) would be a Touch Pro/Fuze but I've seen those are more expensive than $100 here. I couldn't post this in the marketplace forum because of my low post count. I'll probably start doing stuff here now to get it up. I only signed up for downloads originally. :)

[General Questions and Answers] galaxys:
Get a used HTC Hermes Tytn (but not GPS on it). The more features the more the price ;)
[General Questions and Answers] JesusFreak316:
Thanks guys; that's pretty much what I was thinking. I'll just have to keep checking the marketplace for a deal on a fuze/touch pro. I saw that Tytn. It did look pretty interesting for the price. I really want to put WM 6.5 on it and to a lesser extent, android though. I saw the tytn II has some pretty active hacking; it has ports of both oses. What about that? A quick search of the forums didn't show many sales. How does that match up to the Fuze? From what I see it looks to be just generally less powerful. However, I've been reading about the performance problems on the touch pro. Is it really as bad as the sticky thread makes it sound? Have there been any advances in drivers for the gpu? Lastly, since I won't be activating this phone, does it require a data connection to start? I heard Android won't boot if it isn't connected; is that true for WM?

And Pupakota, if you didn't figure it out from the others, my list was in decreasing order of importance, aka not all the features. I don't think a single WM phone exists with all those features; HD2 is the only one with multitouch AFAIK.

Oh yeah, I would love to put a Leo rom on it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prezzor:
I posted this in another section by accident, hopefully this is the correct place...

I hope someone knows the answer or could help me out, I have been battling this issue for some time now.

It all started when I upgraded to cyanogen 4.2.6, there would be times when I would reboot the phone due to weird issues (unable to scroll in browser, slowness). Upon reboot I would be surprised with the tri color screen. I figured out that by holding down the VOL down button, it would work. (Like i said, WEIRD).

This method no longer works and the last update I ran was 4.2.8.

Here are the following steps I have tried to date: (to no avail)

1. Ran nandroid recovery

2. re-installed 4.2.8

3. Wiped, then re-installed 4.2.8

4. Tried installing 'signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721'

5. tried installing Tmobile g1 DREAIMG.nbh (RC29)

Essentially, I just need a working phone!!

At this point Im almost certain it is bricked, unless one of you highly intelligent guys can help me out!

Any help is appreciated!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prezzor:
Yes it is the screen on the left BUT ---!!!!

I have no idea why it did work, but I just tried:

REMOVING (never tried this) the SD card, booting into the recovery console, pressing ALT+L (load menu), then Alt+W (wipe), then reboot. Given I did try already installing the original dreaimg.nbh

I am now into the initial set up for Android. I will keep you posted on what happens next, as this phone seems to go FUBAR after rebooting.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerhoyet:
Yeah, if you're getting that screen every time you reboot, your camera button is jammed (this is the most probable issue).

See, to get to that screen on a G1 you simply hold down the camera button while powering on the device (much like holding the home key to get into recovery mode). So it's VERY likely you've jammed down your camera button somehow, and just need to pry it up and clean the area.:D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prezzor:
well Im back again. Yes its does seem as though the camera button is being held down although it doesnt look like its jammed down at all. I can press like normal; would I perhaps have to pop the button open and clean with alcohol??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prezzor:
I got the button pried off and cleaned the area underneath. The internal button does not appear to be be pressed down, I can press/depress the button with no problem. Could this be an issue with the radio firmware? Known issue with Cyanogen perhaps?

--And Yes, I still see the Tri-colored screen as seen in the above picture on the left--
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
This has nothing to do with your ROM... might have a little to do with the Radio/SPL, but not likely. At most, maybe try flashing the newest radio, then the danger spl. Remember, radio first, then danger spl. (if you do it the other way, you have a brick).

But it is probably the button. The soft rubber that doesn't seemed pressed down isn't the actual button either, it is under that and should be a copper like bubble button. Don't think you can get all the way to that without taking the whole damn thing apart.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prezzor:
I believe I have tried flashing the radio firm, but not the danger spl. Where would you recommend I DL these from? Would it matter that I am running the original ROM (dreaimg.nbh)??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/

I got both files from here. Just to be double sure, flash the radio first anyways, no need to risk your device.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=517593

This is the how too, note you will need either 2 SD cards(flash SPL, then pull SD and flash ROM from 2nd SD), or you will have to flash the SPL, pull the SD card and load the ROM on it, then the ROM... do not power down your device before flashing the ROM.

As well, you need to have a custom recovery flashed, not sure if you have that yet or not (assuming you have a custom ROM you have one already).

If you are nervous at all about doing it, re-read the instructions a couple times until you get the comfy feeling... nothing to worry about as long as you flash the newest radio, then the SPL, then your ROM of choice. Now might be a good time to check out someone else's ROM as well, I like dwangs personally. But if you do 3D games, ie teeter, you will hate it because it doesn't support 3D games.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prezzor:
I have my phone back to working condition now. First off, I want to thank all of you who have helped me out. I really appreciate this community! You guys are great!

All in all, being that pjcforpres told me to have the custom ROM installed, I first had to exploit the phone to get cyanogenMOD on. During this process, I believe it re-flashed the radio firmware and possibly fixed my problem. I could be wrong, but its what I like to believe.

I am a happy camper now!! :):):)

Tri Colour screen

I have been hunting around trying to find what to do about this, I have the screen on the Left when I hold the Camera button down and turn on the power.

Holding the Home key down and the power the phone appears to boot up the the Splash Screen in this case Rogers, and there it sits nothing happens.

Does anyone have a idea how to recover at this point. I don't believe its a stuck camera button because if I don't push the camera button and boot up I get the carrier splash screen and nothing more.

I believe since it says Serial0 it must be in some sort of console recover mode, question is how to get there and what to do. The USB no longer shows up when plugged into the PC, I've checked on linux and it does not even see the usb being plugged in so there must be some trick to connect to it.

I successfully cleaned out my phone by completely tearing it apart. There are a few manuals on how to do this , however I cannot remember or have any links to provide.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Geekaholic:
I have a Tilt 2 from AT&T running Windows Mobile 6.5. I got it in October.

Sometimes my phone's clock will get behind, displaying a time that is an hour or more off. This morning, for example, I had the phone's alarm set for 9am. I woke up at 10am. When I looked at my phone, the clock displayed 8:30am. I power cycled it and it displayed the correct time.

My apartment has lousy cell reception, and I often have no signal at all when inside. Does this phone/OS rely on the cellular network to know what time it is?

Has anyone experienced similar behavior? Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?

I don't think I can trust my phone to wake me up until I find a way to fix this.
