[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glycerin50:
First some history with my G1:

I used the normal unrooted G1 for about a ear after i decided to root it. I rooted it succesfully to 5.something (old, because there wasnt ADW launcher yet). Soon after i wanted to go 2.2 or cyanogen 6.0.3. That too was a succes, but after short use it turned out quite slow. I did some research and found out that 5.0.8 is the way to go for a fast G1 phone ith use of apps. Short install but a few trial and errors (lots of factory resets etc.) i got it running smooth. I installed all my apps once again and thought to myself "i should do a Nandroid back-up before i have to wipe it all again...". So i remembered ROM Manager from 6.0.3 and installed it from market. I did a backup via there, but as i clicked i saw a message for a milisecond. It seemed like an error message, but after a split second my phone just rebooted.... Only this time it got stuck at the G1 boot logo....

After getting familiar with Cyanogen this was very new to me. I tried going into recovery obviousley, but that didnt boot. Only thing that did boot was Fast Boot. No idea what i can do there so i didnt touch it.

More research came i decided that i phone maybe bricked... I found out that you can try Terminal or something in fast boot to reflash something... This still isnt clear to me, and i was wondering if there is any guide that i couldnt find that gives me a noobie guide on how to use terminal on your computer to flash something on your phone?

Thanks very much in advanced!

Summary of things i use/did:

Computer: Macbook 1.0.6 OSX

Phone: G1 rooted to 5.0.8 Cyanogen (stable)

Possible cause: Using ROM Manager to make a Nandroid backup
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] old_dude:
Uh, did you remove the back cover and remove/replace the battery?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnson8cyl:
Rom manager has a habit of breaking recoveries. If you can get into fastboot you can flash a new recovery from there. If you have an engineering spl that is. Need your info from fastboot. Do you have danger spl? Amonra has guides on how to flash from fastboot. Get his 1.7.0 and fastboot flash it. You dont sound bricked.

Ok been a while ,sorry! I am still "bricked" (or at least i think i am). Yes i have taken out the battery and putting it back in.

@Johnson: Yes so i have read! A little to late, :) My info from fastboot:

I'll go to that tutorial ,see if i can figure it out. Thanks for the help!

EDIT: So, ive read it... But its not clear to me. Do i need to open a terminal like program on my mac and just type in:

fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your device)

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img

Or do i need to connect with my phone somehow (besides USB)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Yes, boot in to the SPl (you might need to enable fastboot in there, just poke stuff), then fire up Terminal.app, cd to the /tools directory where the SDK is installed, then issue the commands.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glycerin50:
I havent heard of SPL boot yet, how do i do this? Or is this Camer+power on/off?

Also the part about Terminal.app is total abracadabra to mee, haha. ill try and figure it out using the tutorial and maybe some common sense. If i did figure it out, i'll let you guys know!

Otherwise, if u read this and feel like helping... Much appreciated! I can use all the help you can offer!

Thanks!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnson8cyl:
Boot to fastboot mode. Should tell u how on amonra's page. Put recovery in tools folder of your sdk. Then open command prompt on PC and type: fastboot devices hit enter. Should get a serial number. CD to tools folder and type fastboot flash image command in thread
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Yes, the SPL is the bootloader (camera+power). To open the terminal, got to Applications > Utilities > Terminal.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glycerin50:
ok, this is getting more and more understandable to me :)

Just where is this tools SDK folder. Will this apear on my pc when i plug my phone while i bootloader? or do i need to download some more stuff for this all to work on my pc...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnson8cyl:
U will need to look up how to install sdk on your computer. Its another program u need to control your phone with the PC. Called adb. Android debugging bridge
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
I don't think that fastboot comes with the SDK. There is fastboot-mac zip file somewhere out there... I can't remember where I got mine from, but there is one here http://developer.htc.com/adp.html

Put the file somewhere on your mac and use the terminal program in your applications/utilites folder to access it. You should be a little familiar with Linux to use it ;) If you want to get fancy, put it in /usr/sbin or somewhere in your $path.

The SDK kit is good too, especially adb.

EDIT:

Here are a few good threads to get you headed down the path to flash-a-rama. Most of the commands are the same, regardless of platform, but the installation procedure will vary, i.e., fastboot erase system -w does the same thing on any platform.

SUCCES! YEAH!!! Thank you guys so much! While reading your posts and all the guides i decided to get into bootcamp (windows on mac) and do it all there.

It was way easy to install and ive setup adb and SDK easy and used fastboot to flash Amon Ra's recovery!

It installed within seconds and from recovery i did a fresh wipe and installed my 5.0.8 cyanogen.

Right now it booting up for the first time as i typ and i think its going to boot.... Yes, it takes a long time the first time.

Yes, it works!

Thank you guys again!

PLEASE READ

WM 6.5.x & WM 6.5 ONLY

WVGA ONLY. This theme WILL NOT WORK on a VGA device.

Use a light colored background with this theme.

I have been a big fan of WeatherPanel for years but once I started using HTC’s Sense / Manilla / TouchFlo today screen plugins I gave up on WeatherPanel as Sense can be the only today plugin running. SecondToday has overcome that problem and now I can run both.

The DDT Ultimate V2 theme brought a much need update to WeatherPanel and inspired me to put the theme together to match the 6.5.3 Sense 2.5 GTX NRG ROM I have been running. Thanks to Dunc001 for sharing his WeatherPanel knowledge.

Dafunk60s_GTX_v1.0.0_ICON_SET is a stripped down and tweaked version of the DDT Mod Diamond WVGA Static Icons, which are based upon Rumballs VGA Icon Set. If you like the icon set consider a donation to the DDT Team or Rumball.

3 F.A.Q.

3 F.A.Q.

3.1 How do I open WeatherPanel?

3.1.a Click the SecondToday shortcut in your start menu or from your favorite program launcher.

3.2 Weather data is not updating automatically, what should I check?

3.2.a Don’t close SecondToday, just minimize it. SecondToday must be running for WeatherPanel automatic updates to work.

3.2.b Check the Connections page of the WeatherPanel settings. (Access the weather panel setting by touching the “City Bar” at the top of most screens.)

3.3 There is a blank area at the bottom of the screen where my soft keys should be!

3.3.a You must NOT check "Disable Command Bar" in the SecondToday screen settings. See post 2 for the proper configuration.

3.4 Will this theme work with the All in One installer from DDT?

3.4.a It should. I have used this theme with the modified WeatherPanel & SecondToday installer.

3.5 Weather Panel is slow.

3.5.a In my experience things run much quicker when WeatherPanel, the theme, & the icon set are installed to device memory. This will use almost 14mb of memory. More if you use other themes & icon sets as they will need to be installed to the device as well.

4. Issues

4.1 The Time Display option in the Weather Panel Settings has no effect. I have no intention of fixing this.

4.2 Users who dual boot WM & Android may find that android deletes the Dafunk60s GTX 6.5.X SK.wpl file. To fix copy the file back to “\Program Files\MarsWare\WeatherPanel\Themes\Dafunk60s_GTX_v1.0.0_THEME”

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dafunk60:
It will run fine on a TILT2, edit: - if you use a wm6.5.x rom (windows button at the bottom of the screen). I think the stock ATT rom is 6.5, not 6.5.X

It might work on a 6.5 rom so if you try it let me know how it goes.

Let me know how it works for you and what rom you are using (6.5 start button at the top or 6.5.x start button at the bottom).

I originally made this for my own use but if there is interest I can make a 6.5 version as well as a couple of variants for non GTX users.

This would work on Sense 2.5? I have a Tilt2 on Energy GTX themed Rom (6.5.x)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dafunk60:
Give it a try & let me know how it goes :p (at your own risk of course, but it's just a theme so it shouldn't break anything)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dafunk60:
Yes it will work fine (That was the same Device / ROM I was using when I created the theme) , but be aware this is not a Sense tab.

If you want to launch it from the weather clock in Sense

You can use Cookies Home Tab (included in your ROM) to assign SecondToday to the weather application in Sense.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninereeds:
Hi All,

having had my Galaxy S for a few weeks now I am still struggling to find an itunes/ipod equivalent. I really would like to get rid of iTunes but it made using the iPhone as an iPod very easy.

I drive a lot and listen predominantly to tech podcasts and audio books. Audio books are nicely taken care of with the audible app. I don't want to download podcasts on the Galaxy, because I want to keep some podcasts and that is easier to manage on the PC. I want to be able to sync my phone and automatically get a playlist of podcasts I haven't listened to yet.

So, I have been experimenting with MediaMonkey, Winamp, DoubleTwist, and The Missing Sync.

What I have noticed is that if I connect the Galaxy to a VmWare XP Virtual Machine all the programs work fine, but natively on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, I get odd behaviour:

Winamp, DoubleTwist, and the Missing Sync all will not recognize that I have connected the Galaxy. Yes it is in Mass storage mode, yes I have mounted the phone, yes I can see the drives in explorer and happily drag files to and from both the internal storage and the SD card.

Is anyone successfully using any of these applications with a 64 bit version of Windows 7?

Or has anyone had similar problems?
[General Questions and Answers] Cylopcan:
I've got a very unexpected and disruptive problems.

Noticed yesterday that Odin no longer find my phone. When I went into the download mode and connect the phone it pops up a windows message, "USB Device Not Recognized". Everything worked just fine until yesterday.

I've tried to install the drivers again without success.

I have also reinstalled Windows, but even then, without success. How should I do? Something is very wrong with my phone :/

Another problem is that I cant do something in the recovery anymore. Some signature is missing. Same thing with Clockwork.

Dont know what to do anymore. The only thing I can do is root with Super One-Click.

Has anyone got any ideas?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tanbiu:
I've been upgrade my HTC Desire to 2.2 without GOLDCARD and ROOTED and while i was browsing internet a couple of days ago and it suddenly powered itself down and then re-booted itself. It got as far as the white screen with the HTC logo, and then shut down again and repeated the process. Pressing the on/off button had no effect, so I removed the battery.

When I put the battery back in, it went into the shut-down/re-boot cycle again, so I removed the battery again. About 20 minutes later, I put the battery in again and the phone seemed to work properly. It's been okay for couple of hours, though it did re-boot itself once today, but didn't go into a never ending cycle.

[General Questions and Answers] vinceve:
Hey guys,

My dad his phone his screen was not responding anymore and he needed his contacts from the phone. (the device is an old htc touch). So after some research on the internet I have found a way to recover all the data (especially the contacts) from this windows mobile phone.

Why am I writing this ?

Well it seems that a lot of people have problems retrieving data from their pim.vol. Just like me I was searching for a solution and would like to share it.

What was the problem ?

Well first of all connecting to the phone was already a pain in the ass. Then recovering the data. And extracting the information out of the pim.vol.

What is the solution ?

First I tried on a windows xp and installed some drivers, but it was not working. Then I used my windows 7 and he downloaded the drivers for the phone + (and this is needed) windows device manager.

In windows device manager I syncronized the cellphone for retrieving all the data. I did not open anything because he was copying all the information into outlook. The contacts also syncronized.

After the syncronizing I opened outlook (2007) and there they were. All of the phone contacts were syncronized. Now I clicked file -> import/export.

Then I selected export to file and exported to comma seperated value (csv) (WINDOWS)

After this step I uploaded them into his gmail and they were syncronized and safe. Now if his phone crashes he always have a backup.
