[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hibs1875:
Hey folks, tried to root my G1 but it has went a bit wrong and i'd just rather go back to the stock firmware.

I have followed the steps on thread 491350 (I'll post the steps as I can't post links as a new user) but when I get to step 6 and push Alt + S I get this error message

'Installing from sdcard....

Finding update package....

Opening update package....

E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip

(No such file or directory)

Installation aborted

Press Home+Back to reboot'

Any help or suggestions would be much appriciated.

Thanks

-------------------------

Here are the instructions I have been following:

1. Get the original SPL for your phone, get it here

2. Rename it to update.zip and copy it to your sd card. /sdcard

3. Download the DREAIMG.nbh from here.

4. Place DREAIMG.nbh on the root of your SD card. /sdcard

5. Go into your phones recovery. [Hold the home & power button]

6. Push Alt+S on your G1 to flash it with update.zip

7. After it does its thing, gettig back to your home screen.

4. Start phone in bootloader. [Hold camera+power button]

5. Hit power to start the update DO NOT INTERRUPT!! i can not stress this enough.

6. Click on the action button(track ball) and your phone will reboot.

7. YOU NOW HAVE STOCK FIRMWARE, it will update on it's own in a little bit, or *Settings>About phone>System Updates*
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firerat:
guessing your using windows, and have file extensions hidden

rename it to

update and not update.zip

or, you forgot to put the sdcard back into the phone
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hibs1875:
Cheers, renamed it to just 'update and repeated the steps, have a new error message:

'installing from sdcard...

finding update package...

opening update package...

verifying update package...

E: No signature (5 files)

E: Verification failed

Installation aborted

Press Home+Boot to reboot'

Any other idea's m8?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firerat:
the file isn't signed

did you 'open' it in windows?

if so download it again, but don't open it

rename to update and try again
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hibs1875:
(Thanks again for your prompt reply)

I did open it, yes. But i'm still getting the same error.

I formatted my SD card (Fat32), downloaded the file again, renamed it to update, placed the file on the root of my SD card and also placed 'DREAIMG.nbh' on the SD card (Should I only do one at a time)?

I then turned my phone off, switched it back on pressing the home key and power button and pressed Alt-S. I then got the same error as I posted above.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
The NBH should be flashed by holding cam+power
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hibs1875:
Yep.

I tried it again, with just the update (.zip) file on the sd card only, and i'm still getting the same error.

Any other suggestions guys?

Thanks alot
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
you need to unzip the file and place the .nbh file onto your sd for it to be detected. Then you can install the file by cam+power, it doesn't use .zip files.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hibs1875:
What .img file?

From the instructions that where on this forum it says download the correct SPL, rename update.zip and place it onto the SD card. It then says download DREAIMG.nbh, download and copy onto SD card.

$10 paypal for the one that gets it working ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Yeah meant dreaimg not .img. But inside of the zip is a .nbh that has to be unzipped. The update.zip is the SPL renamed.

Read this carefully

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hibs1875:
I put the dreaimg.nbh on the root of the SD card, held the camera button, pushed the power on button, it went to the red/green/blue screen, then to the greyish screen where it said 'checking' then showed 'not allow - 28002'

I'll have a look at the website you provided.

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Yeah it should be grey and seen after rainbow screen.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hibs1875:
Just a quick post to say I finally managed to do it (after hours and hours of trying).

Eventually, what I done was manually update the phone to cupcake, then from their on my device update the phone to Donut.

Not sure if the phone was unrooted, but then again I am not 100% sure it was actually rooted (Maybe I done something wrong).

Everything sorted now though. Cheers ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derickito:
How did you do it?

Hey hibs1875,

Could you post exactly what you did step by step? I am having the same issue you are and can't find any answers online. I downgraded to RC29 and now doing the SPL update I get the not verified error. Please let me know what you did. Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] blueeyedme:
Hi,

I accidently deleted a file from windows/startup folder. From what i can remember it started with btxxxx.exe

Because of this accident, bluetooth cannot be enabled anymore within com manager.

I am running wm 6.5

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
BTTrayCE.lnk?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] blueeyedme:
Yes! that sounds familiar :-)

But, if its a lnk i should be able to recreate the link from the original location.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
You may copy it from /Windows. Just tap and hold on the link, go to /Windows/StartUp and paste it there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] blueeyedme:
Thanks, I hope thats it.

Could you let me know what other startup links you have in the startup folder (except for the apps you installed yourself)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
Hahhaha, sure :D

You messed up with the "boot speed up process"? Cleaned too much? :D

Edit: Btw. I'm using Rhodium S2 rom, but I believe that the shortcut's in Rhodium S are same.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bampot1:
Hi folks,

Just joined a few days ago after buying an O2 locked HD2 on eBay. Already learned a lot here. Need to unlock the thing. Came across the "Rebel Sim Card". Any comments on that would be helpful. I'm particularly wondering whether there is any advantage of the Rebel over just getting the HD2 unlocked via a code?
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Literally on the T-Mobile version, it takes about a minute from when you press install to come to the confirmation screen (this app has access to) to allow you to press ok and then download and install.

Anyone else have this problem and has anyone thought of a workaround?

I've extracted vending.apk to my desktop and tried removing it but obviously don't have permissions, need root. Would have then pushed vending.apk from a nexus one rom to see if that made a difference.
[Desire General] sh500:
I've been downloading quite a few apps and it seems fine to me, as fast as the iPhone app store. I've been doing it through WiFi though.
[Desire General] HoneyBeFly:
Mine is very fast. Downloading apps/watching HQ youtube. I'm using 3G or is it HSDPA? (I see the H logo). I live in Leicester :)
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
It's definitely not the internet speed (I also get HSDPA (H Logo)).

It's not so much finding apps its when I click on an app and press install it takes about a minute to load the next screen which says something like "This app will have access to <> [OK] [Cancel]"
[Desire General] HoneyBeFly:
I don't have that problem tbh, although my Sense UI crashed twice since I got it in the afternoon and restarted by itself:confused:
[Desire General] thedalmeny:
No problems for me - smooth and quick.
[Desire General] sh500:
Yep, mine is fast from the point of initiating the install to actually using the app.
[Desire General] Karolis:
I had that problem, but content unlock fixed it.

Try it.

That assuming you're on T-Mobile, which at this point most of us are on :)
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
I phoned them to remove it, for some reason 150 disconnected before she said bye but it should have worked.
[Desire General] Karolis:
You can do that on www.t-mobile.co.uk

Also, don't forget to reboot the phone.
[Desire General] Zappza:
I am having that problem from time to time with my G1. It usually happens after the first boot when I have wiped the phone. If I just leave the phone with the market app open for half an hour it usually is smooth again.
[Nexus One General] lordofsilence:
Hello everybody.

The reason for this question and poll is to have an idea of the 3G signal issue on this phone.

Are you having 3G problems with your AT&T-Rogers?Problems with your TMobile Nexus One?

Which one is working better for you? That is the main question.

Let us know.

Thanks community.
[Nexus One General] gunnner:
How does the question you're asking help you tell anything at all about 3G issues on either phone?
[Nexus One General] BoostedSR20:
I'm having zero issues with my ATT N1. Its getting speeds about the same my Tilt 2 was. Around this area, ATT is king, Tmobile is garbage.
[Nexus One General] maxh:
I haven't had problems with either my t-mobile or at&t nexus ones, although my at&t version gets less battery life than my t-mobile one did. My friend has the t-mobile version and seems to have some 3g issues at her house.
[Nexus One General] gsvnet:
Are you sure T-Mobile is really 'garbage?' Their coverage map shows good voice coverage and 3G data in Hagerstown, MD.

From what I've seen, their coverage maps don't tend to 'lie' either.
[Nexus One General] temperbad:
Its coverage not the phone... I accidentally hit I have a 3g issue before reading. But I don't, only when in crappy coverage but all my phones do that so no problem with tmobile
[Nexus One General] h2opoloplyr_11:
well that was stupid of me, i thought this poll was for which phone works better for you....LOL so i clicked on ATT :(

No problems witht the ATT one and when i had the tmobile days before the ATT came out, i could never get a 3g signal in my house and cant get full when outside.

But i think those are issues with the coverage/service provider not the phone.
[Nexus One General] INeedYourHelp:
I live in the upper left corner of Ohio. According to both coverage maps, the best I can do is edge.... So anyone here from Ohio like to comment please?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] christgill:
I've used CFC GUI and Photoshop to extract a picture from <numun>'s bullseye set (I changed the photo in the middle of the big Contacts icon to one of my wife!)

But now, how do I put it back into a cab to install to my phone? I've looked at QuickCab 2.0, but unless I'm being dense I can't see how I can use it to create a cab - the only options seem to involve copying direct to my phone and I want to make a cab on my PC.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
I'd suggest asking for help on the QuickCab thread. There's a LOT of people that use that, so I doubt very much that you can't actually make cab files with it! lol

If you can't find it again, just look in my bookmarks in my signature :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Dream Reality Syndrome:
I've been flashing my Tilt wit several custom roms lately. A couple days ago I found an option to "terminate data connection" when the device went to sleep. I can no longer find that option! I thought it would be under comm manager, phone settings but nothing. This really kills my battery when I can't be checkin if I'm connected every half hour

Also, around the same time of not being able to find that option, After flashing the latest builds it seems I can't sync with Yahoo mail. So I install Seven, that successfully syncs, then I try to uninstall Seven (I don't find it necessary) but I doubt it's fully erased. Anyway, my phone can then sync everytime afterward. Can someone explain to me why this is? And is there a way to skip installing Seven completely?

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xpeeria:
Whatever I try, i cannot log into messenger, on the xperia.... it says thats my password or username is incorrect, when it is not incorrect. does anyone know how to fix this?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
You are doing it wrong. Check the CAPS, the language, etc.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matejdro:
That included messenger never worked for me. It was logging in for hours and then throw out error (either wrong u/p or connection). Username and password were 100% rigth and there was connection with internet.

And there was one time that it worked and it filled my contact list with all msn contacts which made big mess.

I suggest you install better msn client like ebuddy or palringo.
[Desire General] Don Vincenzo:
So, this confused me at first, as after installing a bunch of my apps I found that Manage Applications was force closing. A few factory resets later (just what I wanted to go through with a brand new phone!) it seems that Locale is the culprit - after uninstalling it Manage Applications now works.

Will submit bug report to Locale, but doubt they'll be able to do anything yet as virtually noone actually has a Desire yet!
[Desire General] andersh:
I installed Locale on my Desire yesterday, only to discoverm that this problem is still there. Did you submit the bug report, and did you get a response?
[Desire General] daern:
Confirmed that I get it as well - Locale + unlocked Desire.
[Desire General] Aitese:
Post hijacking just a tad, nut I get similar results if I install Runstar. Can anyone else install it and confirm this for me?
[Desire General] zomig:
I emailed LOCALE a few weeks ago and they replied saying the bug is with the Desire and they have talked to HTC about this. hopefully be fixed pretty soon by HTC.

Question

you should just be able to delete the files from the SD card, if you just made them...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiNo808:
Okay guys im new to the Android scene, i just rooted my N1 and was wondering what do you all recomend for mods...suck as i know that there is no way to unroot as of yet and do i really want to be able to get OTA upgrades? with that said, should i install [Recovery] [21-Mar-2010] RA-nexus-v1.7.0, [ROM] CyanogenMod-5 for Nexus One (STABLE) [03/23/2010 / 5.0.5.3], or [N1 Addon] Nexus One Addon 0.1 - Makin' Bacon [01/08/2010]??? if i install just the addon with the recovery will i still be able to have OTA upgrading...or should i just go for the new CM rom??? thanks in advanced...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
Usually ROMs can have features OTAs are going to have months before they are actually released. Like trackball notifications, himem (using more of the available memory), and what not.

When you root your phone, you arent really losing OTAs, you are more so getting them earlier than you usually would. Just not through the same process - really its better.

And, as people are going to say.. search. This has been answered so many times before.

Hi I've installed bsb tweaks & cookie s home tab and both are working fine. After doing this I noticed when Im in a call my screen dont respond to any commands keypad, mute, end call, ect... Dont know if installing these apps is what brought this along or not. I've tried a soft reset but no luck and Im trying to avoid a hard reset(dont we all :) if anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it thanx....
[HD2 General] noellenchris:
just did the same thing, I had turned on the screen sensitivity one and the tap option right below it.

Change them back and you'll be ok. Not sure which of the 2 settings caused it, so you can try each and see which one is the culprit..
[HD2 General] da_prophit:
If you look it up on the forum elsewhere this problem has been mentioned before. You have to turn the tap time option off and your incall screen buttons will work.
[HD2 General] noellenchris:
yep, that's why I was trolling/searching for my issue and found his thread, but I figured it out mostly on my own...thanks for the tip, now I know which one was the culprit...:D

How can i push an expresso Rosie.apk into vega sense rom ?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OG:
Kick, smack, shove. Pushing isn't that hard I'm sure you can push it in there. Or command it with ADB.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
That rosie might depend on the frameworks from espresso, there are some graphical difference b/t the 2 but I'll wait to see your results first.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OG:
Dude it's just impossible you can't do it because they're two different frameworks and the VegaPort is 2.1, I think Espresso is 1.5.

That's right, eSpresso.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] java218:
My activesync just stopped to work since some day, it is just keeping connecting, but never succeed. I've tried to reinstall activesync several times but no luck. Now the version is 4.5, and my rom is a custom made one from the forum (xplode_7.00 6.10.00.WWE). I don't have a clue as it just suddenly stopped to work. Some thing that may be useful for troubleshooting:

1. when connected to pc (winxp), no device showed under " USB controller" in device manager, instead a "windows mobile based device #16" showed up under "Network adapter"

2. When just hooked, a connecting icon will show up at connectivity status(top of the screen) for about one second, then replaced to "two arrows with a cross ".

3. I have Rogers blocked my data service... could that be a reason? (seems not quite likely)

That's all what I could think about so far. I've looked through posts regarding similar issues but still could find a solution. I appreciate any input/insight.

----

Another question, does any one know how to have the youtube app working with wifi. It just showed " Error, Connection problem. Failed to initialize...."

Thanks a lot :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
your data service theoretically could be the issue, but since you said it worked before, and your device manager says #16, i guess, this will help you:

i don't know if you use the cradle with a pc or maybe a usb cable that is not permanently connected, but it seems, the driver is just installed many times now, so try the following to clean that up:

1. disconnect the cable/cradle

2. on the pc, right click "my computer" or "computer" (depending on whether you use xp or vista/7), and click 'properties'

3. go to the advanced system settings

4. click "environment variables"

5. make a new variable by clicking the upper "New" button

5.1 the name must be "DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES" without ""

5.2 the value must be "1" without ""

5.3 close all open windows with OK

6. restart the pc

7. start the device manager again, e.g. by right clicking "my computer" or computer and clicking "manage"

8. click "View" and then "Show hidden devices"

9. now you see a lot of new greyed out devices, all devices that were ever connected to the pc.

10. now you can start cleaning up:

10.1 go to "Universal Serial Bus controllers"

10.2 all the greyed out entries named "Unknown device", "USB Mass Storage device", "USB root hub" can be right-clicked and uninstalled, but just the greyed out ones!

10.3 go to the tree "Portable devices" and uninstall anything like BlueAngel, PocketPc and stuff like that.

10.4 go to the tree "mobile devices" and uninstall them all.

10.5 close the device manager

11. connect the cable and the device again.

12. since all the old drivers are uninstalled, it will start searching for new hardware and then connect the device again. if you are in fact using xp and the driver is not found disconnect the device again, uninstall active sync, restart the pc and re-install it. it brings the driver and on the next connect, the "new" hardware will be found.

ok, it seems like a lot of work, but it will seriously speed up all your usb connections, because all the dead links and drivers are cleaned up. if, for any reason, this was not the solution to your problem, at least enjoy the faster usb, you're welome ;)

in that very case, you should use pimbackup from my thread in my signature (the "read first" one) and make a backup of all your pim data and perform a hard reset, that could also help.

btw. when you are in my thread already, there is also a youtube app there, that works extremely well with wi-fi and is a lot faster than the official one.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] java218:
Thank you very much for this detailed procedure. I've tried it through, but still no luck. I'll see if I could find solution before "a necessary hard reset". One odd thing is I didn't see any "blueangel related item" under Portable devices, and I even don't have "mobile devices" tree..

I also downloaded youtubeplay. I will give it a try later. Also, isn't myphone usable through wifi either?

Thanks a lot for the help.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
myphone should also work fine via wi-fi, maybe you should check your connection status there as well, i could imagine one situation, where no change at all could also screw that up. if you have an incredibly bad connection or your dhcp encountered a conflict, you might get stuck with an APIPA ip address, something like 169.254.x.x, your wi-fi shows up as connected but there will be no data transfer. in that case, assign a manual ip address or check on your access point or router.

if all other programs work, except for those two, you should think about a hard reset. by the way, if you are a person, that does not like hard resets because of all the programs you need to install and set up again afterwards, you should think about trying spb backup, which can create full backups of your system state before a hard reset. it's pretty neat and due to the fact, that you make a hard reset afterwards, you can use the free trial version.

little warning though:

- never plan on restoring a backup on another rom! this app backs up your complete system, including registry and stuff, and that can vary from rom to rom, after you restored a backup from another rom or device, your device will behave odd, if it will even start, and you probably have to re-flash the rom.

- if you are hard resetting because you screwed up something software or registry related, don't hard reset and restore the backup, the screw-up will be restored as well ;) only make backups of running systems and for last minute backups of pim data, use pim backup.

oh, and with the "portable devices" tree, my bluangel probably shows up there, alongside with card readers and usb flash drives, because i am using windows 7. the mobile devices tree might also have a different name, something like windows ce devices or something like that, basicly you were to delete everything with a pda icon at least, especially that "windows mobile based device #16" and its 15 possible predecessors, so that windows could search the device again.

in a very last attempt to determine whether it is the device to blame or the pc/active sync, you could also try connecting it to another pc. if it is actually just your pc, maybe you don't have to make a hard reset after all. you know, if you get that wi-fi issue out of the way...
