Alright put your sd card back into your g1. Unmount it in settings, then format it from there. When it's done, plug your g1 back into your computer or use and sd card reader (Personally, I prefer the card reader.) I use a mac based laptop as well, but i put windows on it as a partition. (I needa play my games :D) See if your computer detects it now. And what do you mean that the problem doesn't disappear? Wasn't your problem the fact that the card didn't format?

No, the original problem is/was, that I can't get back to 1.5. No matter what file I choose, this damn "00028... Not Allow" problem appears everytime.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nopotential:
Na bra... go ahead an try one more thing..

Macs by default automatically unzip files when downloaded from the internet.

So if this is the case, the file your downloading isn't in the correct format (atleast for the phone). You can even try re-zipping the file but its not gonna work. This happened to me, the only way to fix it is to change the Mac preferences to not automatically unzip/open/handle files downloaded. Its been so long I cant remember the right steps in order to do this. But Im pretty sure thats why you're getting hung up. If you have a Windows availible to you, try downloading it again on the PC and moving it to your SD and see if it works Oo. Or just change your Mac settings and redownload. This MIGHT be your problem.

On second though, this might not be your problem. But maybe worth a try.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackslim:
Looking at your info, I'm assuming you're using a German G1

If that's the case I'm pretty sure you have to use the goldcard method to downgrade your G1 then root.

I'm not 100% sure on this, but based on what you've already tried and the flag below your location and post count, it might be a good idea to read up on it and try another method.

Check this thread out for a little more detail

@nopotential: So, could you tell me how to change this in the settings? 'Cause I right-clicked on a .zip, chose "open with..." and said "The unarchiver". Then i said "always open with" but it doesn't work...

@jackslim: I do have Windows 7 and the MacBook Pro does have a SD card reader but I do not have an adapter... Is there any chance to do this without a WM Device (If this is also Windows 7 ^^)?!

@all: Does anybody have a good downgrading tutorial für GERMAN/EUROPEAN G1s that worked for him/her too? That would be really nice.

By the way: What time is it in the US now? Is it in the morning?!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackslim:
I'm just piecing together bits of other information I've found on various posts, so this may or may not work. Since you'll be using a macbook you should be able to dd to the sdcard

The first thing you need to do is get the CID of your SD Card

You can do this with adb, if you need help setting up adb see here

After ADB is setup

*Make sure on your phone you go to settings -> applications -> development and make sure USB Debugging is checked

check that it is working by opening a terminal and using

adb devices (enter)

If you see a serial number it's working, if not refer back to the adb setup guide and check for what you may have missed. If you seen a serial number do the next step

adb shell (enter)
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid (enter)

Now you should have the CID of your SD Card (write it down exactly). If you know an easier way to get this info directly from your macbook, feel free to try it that way.

Once you have your CID, go to this website scroll to the bottom, enter your email and cid as directed to, then wait for the email with your goldcard img

Once you recieve your goldcard.img, on your mac open a terminal, go to the directory you saved the goldcard.img to and

dd if=goldcard.img of=/path/to/your/sdcard bs=384 (enter)

*Note: Change /path/to/your/sdcard to what it actually is

Now add DREAIMG.nbh to the SD Card, and reboot your phone into the bootloader Camera + Power **Cross Fingers While You Wait*** And hopefully it will work

I don't have a Mac, never even used a Mac. I'm just piecing bits of information from different posts in an attempt to assist you downgrade. Although none of these steps should cause any damage to your Macbook/PC/Phone/House/Leg/Car or grandchildren. Try these steps at your own risk

And inresponse to the current time in the US, it's approximately 11:10 am on the eastern coast
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 19SK91:
Whoa, thanks for this. I don't know how to show you how thankful I am in english ^^

At the moment I'm not able to try this 'cause I'm busy but I'll post the result of it =)

Thanks again.

Also see this post

It specifically says for a Dutch phone, but I think most continental G1's that are having the downgrade problem require the same method to fix it

HI, i got addicted to the linuxial system recently.

and when i try to install it in my 8G sd card, it always say "fail to mount SD card", but with exactly same procedure, it can be installed in my 1G sd card and works well.

it there a trick to install the system in a 8G sd card?

and by the way, how to stop the battery drain phenomen? any setting to lower the magnitude?
[Android Software Development] Ace42:
Installing is one word not two:p

When a plane is falling it usually considered as stalling though, but to be on topic the SD has to be formatted as FAT32 for the phone to be able to use it.
[Android Software Development] hanlence:
opps, typing mistake!!! some time your mind will go much faster than you action, which when i type the first "in", it must have confirmed that it type "in" already.:confused:.......

yeah, i tried both fat and fat32, neither works.

[G1 General] Macmee:
So I was looking at the cyanogen wiki and noticed that the 32A magic had to use the exact same port files for their roms as I do on my Rogers Dream for Cyanogen. I really want to try Eclair. Can I just use a Magic 32A rom on my Dream?
[G1 General] Ace42:
32A has more RAM & ROM so no you cant install the actual rom that was given as a OTA to Magic users.You can go to Rogers and ask to buy a Magic if you want.Or get a hero rom from here and stick with it.
[G1 General] Macmee:
there are hero ROMs for EBI1?
[G1 General] Ace42:
Oops, nope you have to stick with cyan or enom. No one has made one for EB11 yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Soaa-:
Sup all! I love my Hero. I use it as my primary music player on the go.

As most of us have encountered though, it happens sometimes that music starts stuttering after half a day of usage. The problem arises when the music stutters for about a tenth of a second on wakeup, and could start stuttering really badly and intermittently while the phone is asleep. It's frustrating when I can't listen to a complete song without interruption!

I figured, if the phone is silky smooth soon after boot, but starts degrading after a while, it's certainly a software bug that's causing the hiccups. Looking at logcat didn't yield much else than AudioFlinger warnings, but after connecting through SSH and looking at top, I noticed the process /system/bin/mediaserver was using up to 17% of the CPU all the time. I killed it, and the music stopped, but then the process restarted, and the music started again, though from the beginning of a different track.

But the music was smooth again, and the CPU usage of /system/bin/mediaserver dropped drastically.

That's all I have so far. Anyone have a clue why mediaserver would start eating CPU cycles like that? Could it be fixed in future custom ROM releases?

I'm hoping for the best.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] craig0r:
YES!

This has pretty much been my biggest concern since I got the phone, but haven't looked into it at all.

I am glad someone else brought this up, I'd like to see some discussion on it, and once I get some free time AND get the IM.apk working, I would like to help in figuring this out.

Just briefly I took a look at the Android OS source, and mediaserver doesn't seem to be in there, so I'm going to make a guess and say that mediaserver is an HTC-specific service. (It's 2:30 in the morning here, I really won't have time until at least Sunday to put this theory to the test. :( )

If it IS HTC-specific, well, there are pros and cons. A pro is that this would mean that simply using a different music app could instantly fix the problem. Cons: The HTC apps are not open source, and we'd probably have to rely on HTC fixing the code, hopefully in the 2.1 update... and, I really like the HTC Music app, so I'd rather not switch to something else if I don't have to.

If it's NOT HTC-specific, then we'll probably have the same problem with every Music app... HOWEVER, this also means that the community has a better chance of fixing it without HTC's help.

One potential solution I've been thinking of is to use Linux's nice function to give mediaserver a higher priority. This means that other processes will run slower when music is playing, but the mediaserver process should constantly get all the CPU cycles it needs. If I'm listening to music on my phone, I'm more than willing to accept a bit of slow-down in everything else.

Sidenote: After disabling compcache and applying this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=622666) fix, the issue is much less noticeable, but it's still there. If I were to venture a guess, I would say that disabling compcache is where this improvement came from, since compcache uses some CPU power to compress the memory.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Soaa-:
mediaserver is part of the AOSP. It's inside platform/frameworks/base.git, in /media/mediaserver/.

I'll try looking into it but I doubt I'll find anything. =\
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] felikz:
In some cases a better SD card helped ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Branwen:
ROM based

I seem to recall this being a ROM based issue. I think I had it for a couple of the early versions of Paul's MoDaCo, but in the newer versions it was fixed, and its never been an issue on any of the AOSP 2.1 ROMs i've been running.

I would guess its probably something from the original HTC release that was badly implemented, or un-optimised.

[I think it may have been sorted for MoDaCo when teknologist released his custom kernal?]
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Soaa-:
I have a Transcend Class 6 8GB, which I think is a well respected card around here. Besides, it doesn't explain why the process starts choking up after a few hours.

By the way, I run on MoDaCo 3.2 beta 5, with the OOM killer tweaked. It's definitely a software bug where the mediaserver gets stuck in a a strange processor-intensive mode.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
as for me A-Data micro sdhc turbo class 6 run smooth/faster on music playback/transfer or backup/apply file in recovery.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ceebs69:
I have BT audio in the car, what I have found is that when a new track starts the begining seems slower than normal but speeds up, but this doesn't happen when I listen through the phones speaker or headphones? I run on MoDaCo 3.1 and my micro sdhc is a Kingston 4gb.

Could it be it takes a while for the "waves" from the new track to be caught by the stereo, so it takes a while to catch up? (lol!)

Hopefully when andriod 2.1 comes out it will be sorted?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ceebs69:
Don't know how it happened, sorry:o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
as i know when u on wifi or BT it will consume more power eat up cpu & phone will surely laggy. if u using normal cable earphone it doesnt consume more power then BT & wifi & dont eat much cpu. BT is eat lot of battery & cpu if im not wrong.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alexperkins:
i get this same problem. Its been there since the stock firmware, and is still apparent in MoDaCo 3.1. Even with a class 6 8gb SD card, its still there.

Now Im running a 2.1 variant, its gone, so it would suggest its a rom problem for sure

are you sure u using bluetooth audio without lag?

hey there,

Since brain crook has released a ebi1 port for dwangs rom i have decided to try it.

My phone is currently running the EBI1 Canadian radio (which I think should be fine with Super 1.7)

But my question is:

I have the SPL 1.33.2005 (DREA21000)

I read on Dwangs rom page that this rom requires the danger spl, can someone please clarify whether or not I am running the danger SPL right now? also if i am does everything look right for me to be using his rom?

I was able to use Neocore but received a low rating.But 3D compass and waveblazer wouldnt play at all.The SPL doesnt affect games or apps at all, it only changes how the phone's partitions are setup for use.

RUU

I tried many ways to get rid of this screen but didn't work.

My phone original has the rogers 2.17.631.2 build, and I did a bad move to upgrade to Android 1.5.=( The RUU process flashed my HBOOT and RADIO, but as soon as it starts the "system" steps, the screen shows unzipping for over an hour and eventually failed. Now my phone will start up with the above screen only!! i can't get myphone startup in recovery mode or fastboot mode.

I tried re-run the RUU porgram on my PC and the tool still shows i have the old anroid build. Hence i know that i now have NEW HBOOT and RADIO but still the old Android build.

Is there a way for me to get out of this RUU screen? Any help is appreciated.

Is the security off (S-OFF) allows me to downgrade the SPL? If so, how can i do that given i can only boot my HTC Magic in this screen only.

One more side note, fastboot can detect the phone.

Urgently need help! Appreciated.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toekneebullard:
OK, just a quick background:

I have a G1,

running Amon_ra's Recovery Image

CyanogenMod-4.2.13

OK, so I love Amon-Ra's recovery because it makes all the maintenance things very easy. Wiping the Dalvik Cache is a quick task.

Here's my question: When folks on here say they wipe every month of so, or wipe before each new Cyanogen update, do they mean wiping everything? SD card reformat etc? Or do they just wipe certain things?

I had never wiped before 4.2.13, and found each Cyanogen release more sluggish and crashy than the last. Then I wiped, installed 4.2.12, and it ran like a brand new phone. I loved it. But now a couple weeks has passed and my phone is slowing again. I tried wiping the Dalvik Cache but didn't see any real improvement.

So do I need a full wipe to get things back to speedy? It seems like a big pain in the ass to have to reinstall all my apps, reset notification tones, etc every time the phone gets slow. Is this the case, or is the general term "wiping" refering to a lesser operation?

Thanks for any help,

Tony
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
It is easy to backup the apps with the command 'pull' in adb, then use the command 'push' to push them back and the phone will install them.

I would just bite the bullet and redo your settings. I know there are programs like backup for root users that will redo the settings, but I have had problems with it and would rather reappy the settings myself.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrivel:
One other option to try first: download "Cachemate" from the market. It's a paid app but so worth the buck.

The app clears all the temp caches - you would be amazed at how much memory is taken up by the caches as apps run. And the apps often don't release those caches even after reboots.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
You can also do it manually by going "setings->apps->app management->select the app, then wipe cache" And sure it will take longer, but hey, for me it is one of the joys of using a phone, actually performing those tasks.

As for wiping, in ArmonRA, wipe data, wipe dalvick, wipe ext, then go to sd partion option, and repair ext, then wipe data one last time. That is the proper way to do a full wipe with ArmonRA.

As for wiping at home, I like Charmin Ultra Soft.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xAbstract:
LOL! and for the thread, when they say rewipe, they don't mean to reformat your whole sdcard. That would be such a pain. You just gotta wipe the ext, (if you have partitions on your sd card), Cache, and data.

-EDIT-

Oh wait he already said that..
