Alright, so I used fastboot to get back to 1.5 using the original sappimg.nbh that I had floating around my laptop (1.33.0006/2.22.19.26I). Still couldn't get the phone to boot back to a rom until I found a post that mentioned using HOME+BACK while booting. I found a fastboot screen that I'd never seen before that would let me erase something called CLEARSTORAGE (where fastboot asked me if I wanted to delete all user data). Obviously, I said yes since I figured I had nothing else to try. Crazily enough, this worked to get me back to 1.5.

Now, after getting back into 1.5, I played around for a bit and then rebooted to try and get into recovery. All I got was an image with an exclamation point inside a triangle, so I did a battery pull and went back to the 1.5 rom.

Soon thereafter, I was asked about an update. I said yes, then after letting it get me back into the rom, I went back to fastboot instead of waiting for update part 2. Fastboot showed I got moved from 1.33.0006 to 1.33.0013. I let the phone boot back into the rom (still 1.5), then powered down and tried booting into recovery. Got the same thing as before, so I went back to the rom.

At that point, I still had Recovery Flasher on my sdcard, so I used it to backup the recovery image (not really sure yet at this point what it backed up) and flash Cyanogen Recovery 1.4. No error messages, so powerdown and reboot in an attempt to get back into recovery. This was definitely successful. At that point, I used recovery to flash Haykuro's SPL and then rebooted back to fastboot to make sure that it took (it did - I now have 1.33.2005/2.22.19.26I).

After that, I made sure I could boot back into the rom (it worked), so now I'm sitting back waiting for whatever updates may be forthcoming to the MT3G. Since my 4G is already set up how I want it to be, I guess it's time to play. :)

Now, I'd already bought a myTouch 4G before any of this other junk happened with my phone, so getting the 3G back into a working state was pretty much just a measure of "I screwed it, I need to fix it" thing for me. Hopefully this may help someone else that gets into a similar situation with a MT3G.

For now, ignore the sig on this post. ;)

You should have stayed on the new SPL, used the recovery to flash the new radio and cm6 then booted it up and used it with 14mb extra ram.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Same here :) Conclusion: 5.08 with Ezterry's 2708-based is it. Way quicker (for me) than 6.x or any GB-Rom. Would like to run a CM4-based Rom as well but some apps don't work on Android <2.x Roms.

So this is the best of both worlds. Will ofcourse keep on trying other Froyo/GB Rom (almost daily) but they seem to all drop in performance rather quickly. Memory gets flooded and the phone crawls to a halt. For now a tweaked Eclair with some nice GB-graphics it is :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
I was going to try that! Then I just got tired of screwing with it and bought a MT4G and couldn't be happier.

Am I missing something here?

Um, yeeeaah. That actually isn't the latest for Dream/Magic. The closest that link has is CM6.1 RC1, rather than CM6.1 Stable, which is the latest.

And I'm not bashing, but why exactly are you posting those links? Just kind of confused since it doesn't appear to be in response to anything, plus there are links to the actual download page (on CyanogenMod.com) in the OP. Maybe I'm just missing something. :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Heh, amen to that. Cy's become what Dark_AleX was (is?) to the PSP hacking scene and what Team Xecutor and the XBMC Team were to the original XBOX. Needless-to-say, I can never leave a piece of technology stock :D

I came in just as 4.1 was rolling in and was classified as "experimental." Those were the days of the original Cyanogen Updater app. When I'd see that little notification that there was an update (I had it set to check every hour!), I got that same feeling ("kid in a candy store"). My MT3G and my wife's G1 have run stock ROM's all of 20 minutes of their entire lives. My wife just smiled and laughed at me when I got them home the first night; "You just can't leave anything with a computer chip alone, can you?" :rolleyes:

You'd be amazed what a "...for Dummies" book can do for you. Not insinuating anything at all; I've got a few of them. They're actually extraordinarily well written books. Quite a few come with CD-ROM's that have tutorials or learning materials, as well. I know for a fact that there's a "C++ for Dummies" at Borders.

Oh, I'm not a huge fan of Samsung phones. I wouldn't touch the Samsung Galaxy S...ahem...the "Vibrant" (sigh) with a 10 foot pole. But I trust Google (i.e. the Nexus brand). I am an avid HTC fan, though.

I've played with the MT4G and it is a really nice phone. I'm glad it can be rooted and I'm glad Cy & Team are working on ROMs for it, too; I really don't like the TMO bloatware it comes with.

I really miss a physical keyboard, though, I do have to say. I have played with the G2, and though it's a nice phone, I'm not impressed enough to shell out the kind of cash they're asking for them (and 800Mhz? Really? And how freaking loose is that keyboard? C'mon). I want a Nexus One equivalent or greater with a keyboard. If they do what they did with the MT3G and throw out a MT4G Slide, I'm there :D

To be honest, I'm going to hold out and see what else comes this year. With the devil Verizon getting the hipster phone iPhone, I think TMO will roll out some more Android phones.
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
lol, my gf was so annoyed with me rooting my mt3g. Then I got the mt4g and she wanted one, so I got her a Captivate. A few weeks later she asked me what kind of ROMs are available for it. :D

lol, sounds about right. :)

Really... I have some leftover giftcardage on Amazon, maybe I'll pick one up.

Agree with you on the G2 clock speed, although you can OC it to high hell so that's really not THAT big of an issue... MT4G Slide would be sick, I wonder if they're working on that?

I say you pick up a used mt4g on CL to play with and root for a month. Then sell it 6 months later for exactly what you paid for it. I paid $200 for my mt3g and sold it for $200 9 months later. :D

[G1 Android Development] delyorik:
I would've, but like I previously mentioned in an earlier post, I couldn't get into recovery. ;)

It's all good now, though. Thanks, guys, for the encouragement! Meanwhile, since nothing I posted really had anything to do with CM6.1, I'm gonna shush and likely relocate if I find other issues.

Cheers.

Agree with you although after spending a couple of hours rooting and setting up DS build ROMS for a Nexus One and a Desire, had this rather bad feeling of insecurity. Not gonna dump my Dream tho as I'm thinking of giving it to my pther half (Like you did, lol)

And btw, after exploring GB, decided the heartaches were too much and have gone back to 6.1DS and thank god for your guide. Took me just 2 hours to get everything back to normal :)

6. no facebook or anything like that

7. default 1050MAH battery

with me texting about every 10 mins i get like an hour or 2 how can i boost this without buying another battery
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
If it won't boot then you probably flashed a kernel that's not compatible with your current SPL and radio. What radio and SPL are you using?

I do, by choice. I am going to try out Gingerbread this weekend, but if it can't run like CM 4.2.15.1, I'll go back.

You did mention a faster kernel with CM 4.2. I have never jacked with that stuff, but I am curious how that might work. I will read up on it.

Click the link in my sig that says "ezterry's 08/25 enabled kernel." With compatible radio and SPL you get 14mb of extra ram.

[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Like I said, virtually the ONLY thing holding me back is that poor (and that's being nice) BT Voice Dialing in anything less than 2.2. I have a Jabra Cruiser BT Speaker in my car, which is phenomenal, and having to either manually press and hold the green dial button on the phone to activate Voice Dialing, or even at a minimum (2.1), confirm what I said after the bluetooth press with an actual button press on the phone is a deal breaker. It's a real shame that Google waited so long to implement something that a 10 year old flip phone can do with ease.

Other than that, or if someone could code a better 1.6 Voice Dialer, I would run CM4 tomorrow on.

Phateless is dead on. When I was messing around with all the CM versions awhile back, that's the kernel I used on CM4. You can use one of Pershoot's, but you need to be careful to read his release notes. Some of his newer kernels don't play nice with ROMs <2.2. I'd stick with EZTerry's for now, being based off a more compatible Pershoot kernel.

No. Nandroid and reflash.

Pleaaaaaaase Help ::: Flashing went wrong :(

Hi guys,

I got a t-mobile G1 from a friend, he wanted to upgrade to Android 2.1 or above, I searched online, I've seen that it is possible with cyanogen 6.1. I found a way to Flash it but it went wrong since the G1 stoped at the T-mobile G1 screen and never went through it, I left it ON the whole night but it stayed on the T-mobile G1 screen.

G1 had android 1.6.

I did the following:

- I rooted it with Androot

- I installed Rom manager

- From Rom manager I installed ClockworkMod

- I downloaded cyanogen 6.1 via Rom manager

- I flashed it via Rom manager

It did everything it supposed to do but then when I restarted the phone from the clockworkmod it did not pass the G1 t-mobile screen. I tried to flash cyanogen 4.2 but it gave me the same thing ( G1 t-mobile screen).

I'm worried about the G1 of my friend. Please help me to solve this problem. I am just a beginner in this... I just followed things I found online to flash.

Can you tell me what to do please to get 2.1 or 2.2 installed on the G1.

Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] Phateless:
In recovery choose WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET before you flash the rom and gapps. (gapps are necessary if you want market, gmail, etc)

I made this mistake the first time I rooted too. Don't worry, no big deal.

Reboot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset and it should boot right up.

MAKE SURE TO LET IT SIT FOR 10 MINS ON FIRST BOOT BEFORE SETTING UP. There are background processes running and disrupting them can cause instability.

Can you please work me through this?... I am really can't get it to work :(

that spl just says latest g1 spl i have no idea which 1 it is you need danger spl for cm6 the instructions are in the cyanogenmod wiki link i gave you you do need to flash the latest radio before the danger spl but agian do more research and like i said there is a whole thread on this site and on the cyanogenmod forums on how to do this already that is why i am not taking the time to write everything all over again all the info is at your fingertips
[G1 Android Development] riffina:

shadowch31 Helped a lot. Thanks a lot shadowch31

The main problem was that I did not have Danger SPL installed. I simply installed it using clockworkmod recovery and the phone started up normally.

I hope this helped you.

Hey folks .. Brought my G1 from retirement to give to my dad to use for his everyday phone while Tmobile ships him a new one .. flashed 6.1 however he been having random shutdowns and rebooots

Tried searching the thread but not seeing any solutions where someone post about it but after reading a few pages on no one seems to address the issue

can someone tell me whats the solution for this issue ...
[G1 Android Development] IKoRuPT:
I've had a few of those but they were rare (like 2-3 times a month). If you are overclocked, try lowering it. I haven't had the issue since I went back down from 595 Mhz to 528 Mhz, and I also recently updated my kernel from ezterry's 2.6.34.7 to 2.6.34.8.
[G1 Android Development] cybernetus:
Anyone test this kernel with CyanogenMod 6.1 ?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11565574&postcount=670

I will test this with Froyo by Lazlo, but after this tests I will re flash Cyanogen 6.1 with this kernel.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] cybernetus:
This new ezterry's kernel ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11565574&postcount=670 ) solves a problem on my phone.

Using the older kernel my menu button in many times don't show the menu on the ROM.

With this new kernel, I say goodbye to this problem :-)

Backing Swap in CM6? Possible?

Decided I want to fiddle around again, for the heck of it. So, got a question for the gang. Is it possible to enable CC w/backing swap on CM6? I don't mean CC and linux swap, I mean CC w/backing swap (If you don't know the difference, please don't respond).

If it is, is it the same or similar as previous userinit & user.conf setups (I do at least know that user.conf is now froyo.user.conf)? I'm guessing I'll have to repartition since, at the moment, I've just got a FAT32 & a linux swap (because, if I remember correctly, the user.conf file sits on a EXT2/3 partition?). Although, if there's a way to sit the user.conf file on the FAT32 partition, that'd be awesome, if anyone knows a way.

Anyways, phone's running fine, but you know me; I like to mess around when I get bored. Ah, the beauty of nandroid backups :D If anyone's got any (intelligent) ideas, let 'em fly. Like I said, just got the itch to try something new and see what happens. Thought I'd stir the thread pot up again with something to chew on!
[G1 Android Development] hrk:
It is possible but -as you already guessed- it must be done manually. You'll have to disable compcache in CM-Settings and then provide your own boot script. I made one but I fear it was lost when I upgraded to ezGingerbread.

I guess since you're talking about cc+backing swap, you already know all the commands required, otherwise just ask and I'll see if I can recover the old script.

Why don't you mess with a Gingerbread ROM? :)
[G1 Android Development] roccoadam32:
anyone notice when the email app is opened google maps opens up rate places and slows the phone down to a crawl?
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
CC w/Backing Swap?

Yeah, I know about disabling CC in the settings, but thanks for the reminder (hey, we all forget sometimes). Past that, if I remember right - and am modifying this to match Froyo's system layout - I need to make a tiny EXT3 partition in between my FAT32 and linux swap partitions so that I can toss the userinit.sh and a user.conf on it, right?

Anyway, I've got an old userinit.sh and user.conf laying around in a folder from God knows when. I'm thinking I just need to strip out everything in the user.conf file except the commands for CC and backing swap (since CM already does the OC handling, VM, etc, itself).

Anyways, the (untouched) userinit.sh I've still got looks like this:

=== CompCache status ===
CompCache version 0.6+
Compcache enabled
CompCache: DiskSize 32768(system) 32768(user)
CompCache: cc_swappiness - 30(system) 30(user)

=== CompCache status output ===
DiskSize: 32768 kB
NumReads: 1
NumWrites: 3
FailedReads: 0
FailedWrites: 0
InvalidIO: 0
PagesDiscard: 0
ZeroPages: 0
GoodCompress: 100 %
NoCompress: 0 %
PagesStored: 3
PagesUsed: 1
OrigDataSize: 12 kB
ComprDataSize: 0 kB
MemUsedTotal: 4 kB

And my stripped down user.conf looks like this:

# General parameters
general{
CONF_FILE="/system/sd-ext/user.conf"
}

#compcache related parameters
compcache{
compcache_en=1
cc_disksize=0
cc_memlimit=8
cc_backingswap_en=1
cc_backingswap=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
cc_swappiness=60
}

I did modify the original /system/sd to now be /system/sd-ext to reflect Froyo's changes. But, it's been a LONG time since I used a userinit.sh and user.conf, so PLEASE hit me back with wherever I'm wrong (because I'm guessing there's got to be at least one mistake somewhere, if not more). Thanks in advance to anyone for suggestions. I'm just finding that I like CC, but that I miss text messages like mad without swap. Guess I'm looking for the best of both worlds this way (if it's even possible).

P.S. - Since Froyo doesn't support native apps2ext (just froyo2sd), is it a safe assumption that it won't automatically mount an EXT3 partition without help? Do I need a little something to make it mount it on boot? Or is that not an issue? I won't be running apps off that partition, just using it for the two files. Just a thought.

I'm not onto Gingerbread quite yet because I haven't (for myself) pushed CM6 to the bleeding limit ;) Hence, CC w/backing swap! Then...yeah, I'll probably move on :D
[G1 Android Development] hrk:
I don't know. When I used CM6(.1), I was always using Firerat's AIO to enable apps2sd, so all the dirty work to have scripts running at boot was done by that.

Could it be that you posted the output of some command? If this really is the contents of the userinit.sh, it will not work.

When you say "miss text messages" do you mean that they are forever lost because the stock sms/mms app receives them but with low memory is killed before it can save them in the INBOX?

I am confident I never lost an SMS message with CM6.1 so I guessed that the "bug" was introduced with Gingerbread... but I may have been wrong (and this would explain why half of the downloads for my app come from FroYo...)

I always used (backing) swap with CM-5.0.8, I found out I could do without it with CM-6.x and I don't find a need for it with ezGingerbread. As always, your mileage may vary. :)
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
Just flashed back to this ROM, and everything is running great, but I have one problem.

FIXED

This ROM says that my SD card is damaged, when that hasn't ever happened to me on any other ROMs.

After repartitioning my SD card to EXT4, my SD card started working again. Ignore this post.
[G1 Android Development] my_former_self:
Yup. I'm an idiot. Sorry, I had a bunch of docs in a folder and I must've copied the wrong one. It was late :rolleyes:

They're definitely forever lost. As to why, could be a memory issue, maybe. But they definitely just never arrive. Even had my wife text me while sitting next to me and didn't get it. Haven't had that problem recently, though (crosses fingers). Been experimenting a little with swappiness, too. That may have helped.

I may give Gingerbread a try in the near future. Just been mad busy and haven't had the chance to set up a new ROM.

The only real problem I'm getting recently with CM6.1 is random reboots (maybe every 2-3 days) for no real reason. I think it may be low memory, but I've got virtually no background processes running or notifications past SMS, Calendar & Gmail. Only a few widgets and even those are just a couple picture frames and SetCPU. As a note, I only use SetCPU to keep the top frequency down to 352 when the screen is off (to save battery); I don't overclock past the default 576 mark. The only time I can actually pinpoint a program being part of the reboot (maybe) is when I've clicked on a contact's navigate button. Did that for my wife's work today to pick her up and had to wait a couple minutes because the phone rebooted. Then, it was fine and Nav worked. If I use no swap, it's great at first, but I'll get no calendar notifications & usually missed texts. If I use CC (any percent), it's awesome for a day and then slows to a snail's pace. I don't know if one of the recent Maps updates and/or other main Google apps updates has thrown a wrench into my system, but I'm kinda stumped. It's not the end of the world stumped, but I'd still like to get to the bottom of it.
