[G1 Android Development] azrash:
cant resist the gingerbread temptation eh? lol there are a few GB roms, COSDS is built from sources and so is ADS Magpie. only difference is ADS is pure AOSP with magpie and COSDS has CM features+Magpie.

if u need CM features go for COSDS, if you dont stick with ADS. GB for g1 is not fully finished so there could be bugs, but they are stable enough. your choice

ADS is here http://j.mp/gQYarl and here http://j.mp/dF2YBN

what recovery do you have now? AmonRA? you only need to flash radio and spl once, which you already did. if you want to upgrade your spl, do it first before flashing the roms, the guide is in the link at my sig.

happy flashing
[G1 Android Development] CJSnet:
Thanks! If I stick with Froyo, is Laszlo really faster than Biffmod or won't I see much/any differeence? A %
[G1 Android Development] azrash:
hahaha tbh, i cant remember, the last time i flashed biffmod was a few months ago. laszlo has magpie built in as well :P just try both of them, wont take so long, just superwipe, reboot and flash. or use switchrom
[G1 Android Development] FlyingShrapnel:
after a recent facebook update (updated to1.5.3) it started FC-ing all the time on this ROM. I cant use some functions like Messages or events, they cause the FC i reckon...

i use:

BiffMod 2.1 + market "fix"

hboot-1.00.13d

radio 2.22.28.25

2.5.34.8 kernel

build FRG83B

any help appreciated :)

e: can't find update script

Hello,

I followed all of the instructions (I think), and ended up with this when I attempted to flash the ROM (the error occured during the verification stage)

e: can't find update script

installation aborted

I'm a total beginner when it comes to this stuff so I probably missed something obvious..

Any ideas?

Steve
[G1 Android Development] Effdee:
you either :

using an old (or stock) recovery

not flashing the right zip

probably the first

use RA 1.7 or Clockwork 2+
[G1 Android Development] sgordon777:
Ok, now got recovery v1.7.0 and new problems :(

1- flash rc29, register

2- dodwnload telnet

3- telnetd, flash recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img (copy to /system), boot into recovery

4- flash hardspl (splhard1_update_signed.zip), boot into recovery

5- wipe cache, wipe (factory reset), wipe exp partition

6- flash radio (ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip), boot into recovery

7- flash biffmod (BiffModV2.1.zip),

Steps 6 and 7 do not work. I get a bunch of text on the screen like below:

"geprop("ro.bootloader") = "1.33.2013" || getprop("ro.bootloader") == 1.33.3013"

E:Error in /sdcard/BiffModV2.1.zip)

(Status 7)

Simmilar trouble when I attempt the radio update.

Please help!

Thanks,

Thinking I had to install the "Death SPL", I installed it and bricked the G&*d Da*M Mother-fu*%ing phone. Game over. Is there any way back from this? Why does this process have to be so G-d dammed convoluted?

Thanks,

[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
You need danger SPL or the new 1.33.0013d SPL to run with this rom: (Well we can force it with CustomMTD but there may be other issues):

First let me introduce you to this thread:

2708+ enabled kernel [14MB ram with radio 2.22.27.08/2.22.28.25 & hboot 1.33.0013d]

This is because the details (and some of the steps) of the process I will describe are either on that OP post or linked from it.

(To others this set of instructions works anytime after rooting via the rc29 image.. if you rooted in a different way or have since updated your SPL you may be in a different state and these steps may both be incorrect and risky potentially causing a brick)

1) You currently have SPL 0.95.0000 we need an engineering SPL:

Goto: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6510019&postcount=76 and install 1.33.2003 as instructed (after installing 1.33.2003 please delete the spl_1_33_2003.zip file as its missing a safety net, also you only need 1.33.2003 to continue to step 2)

2) return to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139

From the files section gather the following

*) dream_2708kit.zip (the new radio and SPL) [extract hboot-1.33.0013d.img]

*) update_2.22.28.25_S.zip [extract: RADIO-2.22.28.25.img]

*) recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img (or the ebi0/dream *.img version of clockwork if that is your preference.. this will be re-installed as we are less likely to get stuck that way)

*) ezBiffTestKernel20110222-2708_S.zip (this is an updated kernel for biffmod, the rom file I'll point you to has an older version)

*) BiffModV2.1-2708port_S.zip

3) from the biffmod op post download

*) BiffModV2.1Gapps.zip (or an alternative)

*) Gapps20101020_DS_fixC_S.zip (market fix only if you are using the gapps originally shipped with the rom)

4) place the following on the root of the SD card:

* BiffModV2.1-2708port_S.zip

* ezBiffTestKernel20110222-2708_S.zip

* BiffModV2.1Gapps.zip

* Gapps20101020_DS_fixC_S.zip

5) Here is the simplified instructions from the 2708+ thread edited for this rom's details

Now you ought to have a basic biffmod install; and can easily switch to other 2708+ roms/ports.

If you can get into recovery run the above.. otherwise you didn't flash the 2.22 radio your previous post indicated as that is how the dangerSPL causes bricks.. of course the steps above side step that issue with the 1.33.2003 SPL that boots just fine with the old 1.33 radio....

Usually the hard part is people's insistence on using the original rc29 root method.. That and making it hard to figure out where you are now.. and where you are going.. we seem to most of the time only know one or the other..
[G1 Android Development] Effdee:
the mistake you made was not doing your research

you need the 2825 radio and 1.33.0013d spl

if you flashed danger over the stock 1.x radi you have a brick

you only have yourself to blame there are many posts detailing how to flash danger safely

while you are saving up for a new phone read read read.
[G1 Android Development] sgordon777:
With the amount of time I've wasted (and have yet to waste) trying to do this update, I'd better just get one with Froyo already on it :)
[G1 Android Development] azrash:
it doesnt require that much of time:) all you need is read a few posts, understand the steps, make sure the steps are correct for the device, and just carry them out :)

plus the info would be great if for just in case situations
[G1 Android Development] sgordon777:
Since I've broached the subject, if anybody has an extra G1 with a good froyo mod I'll pay ~$70 (depending on condition). PM me.
[G1 Android Development] sgordon777:
Yeah, I know. I got impatient/frustrated and starting going too fast. If I ever try this again, I'll definitely beware.

The reasoning behind the name of the SPL ("Danger/Death") didnt sink in for me until it was too late.

Can someone post a link to download just the wallpapers used in this ROM please?
[G1 Android Development] :
Apologies for not being around in the channel, I kinda got disheartened when my laptop hard drive blew up and destroyed everything I had G1 related (roms, work in progress, backups, help files & everything in between) and even the hard drive I had as backup died on me too so not been in the mood for flashing/playing but my boredom is now outweighing my disappointment so making a comeback :D
[G1 Android Development] sgordon777:
Ok, I have another g1 now and going to try my luck again...

This one has the DRC92 build, radio version: 2.22.19.26I. I dont want to risk flashing back to rc29 and the old radio.

1- Could someone tell me the preferred method of rooting with this version? All I can seem to find is using the telnetd method which wont work with this version (at least, thats what I read)

2- Is this version of radio safe for use with the Danger/Death SPL?

3- Can I get fastboot without installing the whole SDK? I seem to remember reading something like this, but now I cannot find it

Thanks,

Steve
[G1 Android Development] azrash:
what is your current spl version? also known as hboot
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
probably 0.95.0000 but unless its 1.33.2003/1.33.2005 it matters very little.. use androot/exploid/flash_image to get a custom recovery installed

Once you have a custom recovery unless you have an ebi1 firmware (such as rogers dreams) and the 26I radio indicates he dosn't the steps are the same as the post he quoated:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13224180#post13224180

I don't have a good windows adb/fastboot guide however

The original binaries for OSX/Linux/WIndows are:

sdk tools (30MB): http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

fastboot binary: http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s2

but people may have better windows packages and instructions/drivers.

My OSX install I used the above links and no special USB driver needed

My Linux install I pulled them from a android (ezGingerbread) build ;)
[G1 Android Development] sgordon777:

[G1 Android Development] sgordon777:
This is the most frustrating experience I've ever had in my life.

Can someone please tell me how to install a &R^$ recovery image with the DRC92 software?

Apparently DRC92 does not have flash_image command like the rc29, so I'm at a loss as how to install this thing.

I have recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img sitting right on the sdcard and mounted, and can see it with ADB shell.

Please help,

THanks,

Steve
[G1 Android Development] sgordon777:
With DRC92, and the method I rooted with (UniversalAndroot) I cannot even flash a signed SPL (like HardSPL) from the stock recovery module!? So I'm in a place now where I cannot install another SPL which will allow FASTBOOT, which will allow me to install a new recovery module, which will allow me to install Death SPL, which will allow me to install BiffMOd!? {exasperated}
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Unless I'm going through the process its hard to make step by step instuctions.. I thoght androot had flash image with it (that or people cheated and androot followed by rom manager for the flash)

But if you want the manual way:

* Put flash_image from biffmod (in the zip file in system/bin) into the root of your sdcard

* get rootshell if not already created with exploid

* as root 'mount -o remount,rw /system /system' then 'cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image' then 'chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image'

Now you have flash image.. and I know google finds other pre built flash_image binaries if something goes wrong with that one.
[G1 Android Development] sgordon777:
Success!

If anyone cases, I used the RomManager (after rooting with UniversalAndroot) to install RecoveryRA v1.7. After this, I installed deathSPL (after making D@mn sure I had a compatible radio), and everything according to steps posted..

Thanks everyone for the advice,

boot loop

Hi everybody,

I'm experiencing a bootloop on the g1 logo when I try to restart the phone...it is the second time that its doing this, I just don't want to wipe everything again without knowing what this is and if there is a solution.

I have the 2.22.23.02 radio and the death SPL, I'm not using compcache or JIT just swap. I would love to join a logcat but I dont know how you do that :o (it doesnt stop in the adb command)

please help I love this rom but the bootloop is a problem :(
[G1 Android Development] mwako:
Runs lovely on an old G1, Surprised me tbh and is quick to use and rather snappy in the right places over the stock firmware, i needed a phone temporarily with SIP features until WP7 gets such treats.

Well done. Tried a few ROMS until i landed here successfully :p
[G1 Android Development] azrash:
how did you trigger the bootloop? did you do a superwipe when you first installed the rom?
[G1 Android Development] didix95:
Yes I wiped everything. I wanted to launch an app, there was a fc. So, I put restarted, but it has never passed the logo.

I believe the problem is the restart command. Because I wanted to restore the apps with another app and it asked me to restart. I put switch off and not restarted and that didnt block when I switched on.
[G1 Android Development] azrash:
if there is any fc, try to run fix_permissions. boot into recovery, go to console and type fix_permissions and press enter

the app fc-ed and you restarted the phone and it didnt go pass the boot logo.

i dont understand this part ' I wanted to restore the apps with another app and it asked me to restart'
[G1 Android Development] didix95:
Yeah sorry it wasnt clear. I dl the app "my backup root" before the bootloop happened, it saves all the apps in your phone.

When the phone didnt pass the boot logo, I booted into the recovery, I wiped, flashed the rom, I launched my backup root, it asked me to switch off so I did. (But this time using switch off and not restart)

I will try fix_permissions if I see a fc thanks !

Make sure you met all the requierments in the 1st post , if all the requierrments were met then you might have a bad flash/rom redownload the rom and flash it again.. make sure to do a full wipe of system,cache,data, and then reflash the rome or to make is simple flash super wipe for g1 then flash the rom
[G1 Android Development] BookCase:
I can't believe people are still using the G1. This was the greatest G1 ROM but, look at the date. v2.2 never came out, development stopped when the OP got the MT3G, I believe. We have moved on to greater, snappier phones. Try the G2. Mine was stolen but, I wish I still had it. I loved that phone almost as much as I loved the G1. :cool:

Agreed I am almost done with it. I just need to test it out now and place some of the new APK's from the G2 build in it.

Have you restarted your phone since downloading all the apps? That usually does fix it even though it should be automatic.

It is a very nice widget along with the clock that you posted before. I will be putting both those and a few others into the Mod I am building.

Hello... First post....

I installed 1.6 yesterday and I have a few questions:

The reboot during setup. At what point does that happen? Should I run the google setup? There were two options at first boot.. I didn't recognize the other. I got most the way through the google setup and it force quit. Then I went in to set the recommended Cyan settings and when I changed surface dithering THEN it rebooted. Is that right?

Also my wifi doesn't work. It says, acquiring IP address > Connected. But I get a data connection error with everything.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
It doesn't reboot anymore, or well it hasn't for me since V1.5 so it shouldn't reboot. Also whenever you flash any Rom and you get a choice at setup you always choice the first option never choice the 2nd one.

Try wiping along with wiping the System in fastboot then re-flash and see what happens.
[G1 Android Development] Andoogle:
Swype?

HELP PLEASE!

anyone having issues with swype? I can install it fine, and use the keyboard ok, but it can't seem to find a "language". When i drag my finger to write a word, it just beeps at me as if the word isn't in the dictionary.

this has happened when I've flashed other roms, but after rebooting a few times it starts working. anyone know what's up ??

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] ryaninc:
In my experience, when Swype does that constant beep thing, that means you're using an expired version. It's not a problem with the ROM you're using, but with the swype app itself. You'll have to hunt down a recent version and I honestly don't know where to tell you to look. A few searches around XDA should turn up something. :)
[G1 Android Development] 4n6days:
How do you wipe the system in fastboot?
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Make sure your G1 is connected to your PC, then open a command prompt window. Boot your G1 into fastboot. Then in the command prompt window type

fastboot erase system -w

It will wipe the system memory should take like 3 seconds.

Then reboot into recovery and wipe everything in the Wipe menu. Now you have wiped everything.
