i dont know what i did, but my green call button isnt bring up the dialer any more.

im on the froyo vanilla rom, the bf stable kernel. if its either of those, then its something new.. i noticed it today or maybe last night, not really sure.

anyone got a suggestion for what to look for to undo or redo?

the button its self still works, i can manually launch the phone and use the green button to initiate the call, so i know its not just flat broken.

Dual boot android and windows?

Unless you're trying to dual boot window roms, then no. If you want to run different versions of android on the same SD card, then just put "rel_path=(directory, such as a folder named "android" with all the XDandroid files in it)" in the "cmdline"

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] W0nk0:
Hi,

I've owned and ROM'd two Android phones, but not a G1 and wanted to help out a friend to get her stock 1.6 G1 to CM5. We ran into problems which led me to not want to continue before they are sorted out. I looked for answers to this but couldn't find any, so please don't flame me if I overlooked any. I tried to go by the instructions in the CM wiki.

This is what we did:

- We installed ClockWorkMod Recovery through the ROM Manager app

- We rebooted into that recovery and via adb flashed AmonRA recovery

- we rebooted into the AmonRA recovery which worked (I *think* just regularly holding Home while powering on)

- we flashed the appropriate radio update for her US TMo G1

- the documentation said "phone will reboot during update". I think it did, but it seemed stuck on "formatting cache" in recovery.

- when holding Home on reboot after that, it did from there on NOT reboot into the custom recovery

- instead, it rebooted into what looks like "bootloader" mode on my Moto Milestone, a screen with a phone and an exclamation point. We could get into stock recovery with Alt-L, but I don't think that is what we wanted.

At this point, it seemed to not reliably boot into custom recovery, so I didn't want to continue the process. I assume I could have gone down the same of flashing a custom recovery, but I wasn't sure what would happen with/after installation of the DangerSPL if booting into recovery wouldn't work.

So - is the "booting into bootloader instead of recovery" a known issue? Am I too much of a noob on the G1 and did totally miss something? Could or should we proceed to the DangerSPL / CM5 installation with this going on?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Flashing a new recovery from CM5 or CM6 is not working well. Try flashing the recovery image / radio image / ... from fastboot and you should be fine.

Edit: I did not read well the first time. Now I notice, that you are still on stock SPL, sorry. But re-reading well I've got a question: Are you sure you flashed already successfully a new recovery? For me it seems you are still on a plain stock G1.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] W0nk0:
Thanks a lot for your help!

We _were_ on a custom recovery twice, after flashing it from ROM manager (Clockworkmod then) and on the AmonRA recovery after that. As the recoveries clearly had non-stock things like nandroid I'm quite positive.

The problem seems to be that they didn't "stick" - we flashed the radio ROM upgrade from Amonra recovery, but after a reboot with Home pressed landed in the exclamation point screen again (which seems to indicate stock recovery as you can get to that with Alt-L from there).

If fastboot is indeed the way to go, where do I get the drivers for the windows/pc side of it? The noob guide I found had no help there :/.

Thanks again,

W0nk0
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Few things;

1) if you have the OEM system image, then, indeed, the recovery will be overwritten by the OEM recovery image upon reboot into the system.

2) You say that you've written a RADIO image.... ***WHAT*** radio image did you write? You should have written a radio with a version number that starts with a "2".

3) Have you written a new SPL? The SPL you should write is 1.33.2003. DO NOT install deathSPL, no matter how many RETARDS suggest it. There is ABSOLUTELY NO USE in it. 1.33.2003 is SAFE to install (unlike 1.33.2005), and the ONLY benefit of 1.33.2005 has been GREATLY EXCEEDED, making that "benefit" entirely pointless.

Note that with the stock SPL (0.95.0000), there IS NO FASTBOOT. 1.33.2003 has a very strong fastboot capable of writing ALL partitions, including the radio image. Fastboot is the safest way to write the radio and SPL, but prior to installing an SPL with a strong fastboot mode, obviously you can't use this feature.

Steps:

1) Reinstall custom recovery,

2) reboot into recovery and write 1.33.2003 SPL.

3) DO NOT let it boot into regular system prior to installing 1.33.2003 SPL, or it will overwrite that custom recovery.

4) After installing the good SPL, it would still overwrite the custom recovery by booting into the regular system, but by this time, you will have FASTBOOT, so it doesn't matter.

5) Now do what you want... but once you have a 2.x radio and 1.33.2003, do NOT write any other radio or SPL, and for F SAKES DO NOT RUN ANY NBH FILES EVER NO MATTER WHAT!!!

I just got a captivate and i tried to put the phone in download mode to flash a new rom...no luck i tried the two and three button method...no luck. I also tried putting the phone in dl mode by using a command prompt...is there someone out there than can help a noob?:(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg465x:
May need to give us some more specifics. I have only been able to get into download mode using the adb method. It may take you some time to get the drivers and everything communicating properly. Google and forum search are your friend.

1) Install the Android SDK.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Not sure if it's required, but I also have the android adb driver installed.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

2) Install the Samsung USB driver. Usually found at the link below, but they took the downloads down for some reason. (Is Samsung about to release an update?)

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SGH-I897ZKAATT

3) Enable USB debugging on phone and plug it in.

4) Navigate to your ../android-sdk-windows/tools/ directory in a command prompt.

5) Type "adb devices" without quotes and press enter. Should see your device listed.

6) Type "adb reboot download" without quotes. Good to go.

My suggestion is to wait. Do a couple checks before you BRICK your phone. Check this thread for info, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=784147

There is a wave of phones out now that have 2 or 3 button modes disabled, broken, or something, but they don't work and have caused hard bricks. Most have had to return their phones.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chevy454:
when i try to search for sdk through the command prompt thats in windows it keep saying it not recognized as a internal or external command...now what?:(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
If you are brave enough to try, then here.

Download the SDK from google. Once done, you can upzip it and buried in there is a folder called Tools. I usually take that folder and copy it to the root of my C: on my pc. So it's, C:\tools.

Plug in your phone, make sure USB debugging is on. Open a cmd windows and cd C:\tools

Now in your command window you should be able to use ADB. adb reboot recovery, adb reboot download, adb shell, etc.

Again, I would verify 100% that my button method for recovery and download work before you start modding. If you soft brick your phone, and your buttons don't work, you are screwed. If buttons work you can recover from a soft brick. I have soft bricked my phone numerous times, I have never been able to get ADB to work, I ALWAYS have to use the buttons to get into download mode.

Just absolutely the worst rom I've ever had on my phone, and I've ran Pulse roms and half built sense UI roms.

I wiped my phone and cleared the partitions but it was always the slowest thing in the world.

The wifi never stayed connected

Gps never ever ever worked

after an amount of time using the rom

it would suddenly not accept incoming text messages

Tons of bogus **** like that.

Anyone else have this problem? I'm currently on speed team Eclair and it's working marvelous, just like the htc clay / fast test 1.6 roms with the 10MB hack.

Its the kitchen sink problem.... which has two forms;

1) The more bloated big crap you throw down the kitchen sink, the more plugged up it becomes.

2) If you throw in even the kitchen sink, then you've gone WAY too far (related to the phrase "everything but the kitchen sink", which is to say you've packed too much useless crap).

In other words, it is a big fat pig. Just picture yourself a 350 pound fat woman waddling down the street. There's CM ROM for you. Moves just as fast.

Funny you should say that SpeedTeam Eclair is actually themed/botched/molested CM5 (which ran like crap for me :P).

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekkitan:
I also am having many issues with Cyan's roms these days. I'm not even running Froyo, I'm running CM5. Random stuff will happen a while after wiping/flashing. Last time all my Google apps would just force close no matter what I did. This time the Market stopped working. Logs say it ran out of memory and was killed. I killed all non-essential services (which only give me 20-25mb of memory) and cleared app data for market, cleared caches in recovery. I'm just getting fed up with it.

I want a new phone so I can get some stable-ness back in my life, but Tmobile isn't releasing many cool phones like the others (Tmobile's Galaxy S design was disappointing).

Can anyone suggest another rom to run on my EOL G1 until something good comes out? =\
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endolith:
Yep. I'm running CM6 and it is super slow and unresponsive, constantly crashes, no apps2sd so it runs out of space immediately and won't accept incoming text messages, apps won't install or update, background notifications don't work in any app? etc. Swap makes the phone run so much better, but Cyanogen says "Don't use swap" with no explanation. I don't understand why this 3D gallery is installed by default when it can barely crawl along on this processor. Did they even test it on a Dream?

Man I have had nothing but problems. Now the browser won't connect to the web, but Gmail still updates.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timahawk:
Hey guys, I have a memory issue with my Nexus One when it comes to available storage space. The rom available memory seems to get lower and lower everytime I flash a rom than the previous time. When I load roms like CM6 or Kang-o-Rang or MicroMod Supercircle 2.7 or any others I have 4-16 MB available and nothing has installed yet. I usually use A2SD EXT3 for these but now its extremely difficult to do anything when booting with so little space to begin with. A week ago, on most roms I have well around 150 MB free before installing anything. What may have caused this issue? I even tried booting CM6 with a different SD card not partitioned for A2SD and wiping everything and same result and now I really can't install anything. So is my phone faulty or is there something I can do? I am currently running recovery Amon RA 1.7.0.1 and issues seemed to have come up since using this recovery. I was using Clockwork Mod latest one before this a few days ago.

Any ideas?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
Have you been wiping data + cache each time you flash?

I have wiped, cleared cache, delvik many many times. I suspect that the wipe is not working properly. I have tried two different recoveries and nothing works.

Sounds like a weird problem, I would've tried to wipe a time or two more. I just wiped my device after flashing nightlies for the last two months without wiping and I noticed I had 170MB free when I booted up with a few apps installed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I agree with SBS_. It sounds like the wipe isn't doing the job properly. Try to do it in all the possible ways (wiping through the ROM - using "Factory Reset" option, wiping through recovery - clearing data, cache and Dalvik-cache, and wiping through ADB command line), see if it changes anything.

I have this exact issue. I know how to wipe. I have gone as far as reloading HBoot and placing the stock EPF30 image. I have gone thru using clockwork and Amon. I know how to do factory resets. I know how to go to storage options with clockwork and format all partition options. I have spent months on this. Below is a readout, after blowing away everything.

Another user that I have been working with has the exact issues as the user here and me. He contacted HTC. They are replacing his N1. There is something weird going on with some of these units. Just like a few months back, no one knew anything about the bad boot blocks issue causing many developers to change their ROM installs to accommodate those users with this issue. This low space on /data issue is another one that sooner or later will start to show up more and more, IMHO. For instance, at best using either Evils Sense Roms or MicroMods Hybrid sense Roms, I have 23MB free on initial install. This is after basically wiping formatting, resettings factory Data etc etc. At best, lets say using Enoms latest AOSP, I have maybe 75Mb free Internal memory, after initial install and NO applications downloaded installed on my part.

I really wish that folks here and on other threads would start to take this issue a little more seriously than basically saying a user isn't properly wiping his setup prior to an install. I have my beloved N1 since third week of January this year. Never had a problem with rooting, installing any of the original CM, or Paul M stuff from the early days here and on their Kitchen setups. Something has basically changed to cause these issues on a number of Nexus one setups. I have root explorer too and no manner of deleteing, via changing partition permissions from RO to RW makes any difference after wiping, formatting whatever prior to a fresh clean install of any current ROM.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saphroxx:
I have approximately the same issue. I can't install anything..

Even after a full wipe of /data and all caches, I installed latest nightly-219-passion and the only possible way to install apps is by manually typing the adb push commands in commandline. It DOES NOT WORK using Market, File Manager, Titaniumbackup, ....

When I nandroid restore I have all my apps back but still CANNOT install any new apps using Market, File Manager, Titaniumbackup, ....

I already tried the fix_permissions script in both Amon_RA and RomManager but without success. I have system:system permissions on /data.

Is there a way to wipe /system aswell prior to an install, or does that happen when you flash a .zip?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Docmjldds:
How did you install the nightly. Even with my issues of 109Mb used up on data before I install anything, I have the latest nightly running along with latest Gapps and approx 50 of my own apps, with 79Mb free internal. I used clockwork recovery, then under storage options, you can run format options, on boot, system, data, cache, and SD-EXT and then under advanced, wipe dalvik-cache. I also added the data factory reset option also. I then clean installed the nightly. Then after an initial setup to just have it running, flashed the gapps. I did initially have approx 75Mb free Internal before the Gapps install. Then I went down to 53MB after gapps. I verified I had the correct settings in settings:Cyanogen Mod for the file system. I then flashed the latest Dark Tremor script, ran the commands for a2sd check, a2sd reinstall, a2sd zipalign and a2sd cachesd to move the dalvik-cache to sd. I have an EXT3 setup on my SD card. After moving Dalvik cache I jumped from 28Mb free to 79Mb free where it's pretty much staying now. Not as much as others that don't have the issues on /Data but at least useable.

I have looked thru many battery use threads and it is quite difficult to compare or to draw any conclusion on whether there is some issue with battery use (i.e. whether battery drain is "normal").

How about we report based on 2 criteria:

- Idle means phone totally not being used + screen is off.

- Constant use means time you are using the phone (i.e. screen is on).

I know that everyone's phone setting may be different but at least we can know what is the reported range. Instead of depending on built-in software take readings, why dont we just take note of the battery use manually. For idle, use a period of 6hrs or more. Pls also state the settings you have.

Here is my figure for today:-

Firmware: JG4 (Singtel)

IDLE: (13% drain overnight ~9.3 hrs) : 1.4% per hour

(3G/background data/sync-on, wifi/gps/bt-off, weather/fb/tw/stock widgets update hourly)

CONSTANT: (19% drain over 57minutes): 18% per hour.
