New issue:

Need some help people. Rooted my G1, worked. Got it back to 1.5, then updated it all. Installed the Recovery.img and that worked. Now, i want to install this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=929678

But im not sure what radio, SPL and gapps to use. I followed this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR0HpUVv-BY

Then when he installed Cyanogen, i installed Gingerbread. Now im stuck on the boot screen and have been for 2 hours... ideas?

I'm thinking the files i used, from the video, ain't compatible. So, anyone have links to "SPL: 1.33.0013d (hboot)" and "RADIO: 2.22.27.08 / 28.25"? Then, what do i do from the Recovery screen to delete all i did and install Gingerbread?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidcues:
wow you are in a rush to take the G1 all the way to the hilt arent ya?

What roms have you successfully run on it prior (if at all) to trying to flash Lazlo? Did Eclair work?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmreall:
I ran Cyanogen6 for a long while till it developed a slight lag. In all i've ran:

Cyan6, then 1.6, then Cyan6, then 1.6 again, now im trying this.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmreall:
I created the 3 - 4 Partition, THEN the 2 - 3 Partition.

Think that could be the issue?

If so, how do i go back and try again?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmreall:
Got Cyanogen6 working on it now.

I downloaded HBOOT-1.33.0013d and RADIO-2.22.27.08, zipped them, then moved them onto my SD card and when i try flash them on my G1, it's says invalid file.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creezalird:
have u tried the guide from here to update your radio and spl

(p/s u need to follow it properly and understand most of the jargons such as spl perfect or engineered and etc)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmreall:
Ok, so going by that i need to:

- Put them files onto my SD (not zipped, just as they are downloaded and into the root)

- Boot into fastboot

- Enter Console and type:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img
fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.27.08.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.0013d.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

- Check it says "1.33.0013d" as its version

- Enter console again and type:

fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot

- Restart

- Boot to Recovery

- Go to "Flash"

- Select "Froyo by Laszlo"

- Reboot

Just install yoshi ginger its so smooth (gingerbreab 2.3)

sent from my gingerdream
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creezalird:
In theory it is already right. Maybe some small litte details.

After fastboot erase(before flashing rom), u should partition your sdcard so that it has the ext4 partition ( from recovery, partition sd, follow steps, upgrade from ext2 to ext3, upgrade ext3 to ext4 )

After that try using the wipe and reset all data to factory.

Now maybe u are good to go with flashing roms.

For the radio/hboot guide, just follow step by step from the thread.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmreall:
This better then? I just want to make a guide for the future.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creezalird:
looks quite good, do u want to make a guide for the forum or just for urself?

If for the forum, maybe just add some small details as example :

boot into recovery ( hold power + home together )

Just for the new people without experiences in flashing.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmreall:
No, this is for myself. Just trying to get a solid method i can reference to whenever im stuck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmreall:
Fastboot is "Power + Camera" yes? If so, i don't see a console.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmreall:
Still need that one answered.

Also, should i put the files as .img or .zips in the root of my SD?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleeepy2:
Fastboot can be accessed with camera and power or back and power.

You would move the files as zips.

A couple of notes. I wouldn't upgrade to ext4 as not all roms work with 4 (most do but not all) just go to ext3 and you will be good. If it supports ext4 then it will 3 also.

Also most of your guide is really only needed for the first time. if you are just switching roms you don't need to do half of that.

If just switching roms you only need to boot to recovery, wipe/factory reset, flash/install zip (depending on what the recovery calls it its the same thing). Reboot and enjoy.

Android G1 mobile software required (urgent)

Hi,

I have Htc G1 android mobile set.

The problem is my mobile phone only goes till G1 logo and does not proceed forward.

I think i have to flash my mobile set using micro SD card.

Can anyone plz share with me android G1 software and the method to do that.

I shall be grateful.

When i enter fastboot, it tries to load some image and can't...

"DREADIAG" or something. Claims no image.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thats because you're in bootloader mode...

Press back to enter fastboot mode.

Ah, i need to install SDK again.

Doing it now.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmreall:
Installed SDK, when running "adb devices" in cmd it shows my G1 fine.

Now, it says it " cannot load 'radio-2.22.27.08.img' " even though it's in the root of my SD.

Using "fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.27.08.img"

Ideas?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Even I'll conceed that the wording needs changing, I answer this so often in my help channel.

You have to tell the command where the files are, easiest method is download the zip and unzip them to the root of the pc which is typically c:\

You should have in there two files a radio.img and hboot.img (not it's full name but you get the idea) and in fact renaming them to hboot.img and radio.image saves keyboard on the next section.

Enter the commands as follows in the command prompt making sure you cd into the directory the fastboot.exe which is commonly c:\AndroidSDK\tools or platform-tools (again change file/folder name where appropriate) The new commands are...

fastboot flash radio c:\radio.img

fastboot flash hboot c:\hboot.img

The rest of the commands can be used as normal.

You could try...

fastboot flash /sdcard/hboot.img

fastboot flash /sdcard/hboot.img

But to be honest I prefer doing it from my hard drive so always advise doing so, cuts down on the possible problems that may arise.

The quest continues...

The XdaTV podcast is up and running nicely. I aim to update it every week or so, so videos will probably appear in blocks of 3-5, depending on how up to date I am with my viewing. Simply can't recommend it enough, great things are a-happenin.

I've also added Lifehacker, a new podcast from the site of the same name, looks good so far, plenty of polish and shine, but interesting so far.

In addition to this, I will experiment at some point with a "feed of feeds"...the idea being that new podcasts and rss feeds will be put in a feed and the RSSTab will then detect the feed urls in the rss posts and give you the option to add it to your feeds. It could be an interesting way to share and enjoy new rss feeds and podcasts.

I've not seen it before, but I would be interested to know if it has been done or not.

In fact, the concept of the "feed of feeds" could be quite interesting as anyone could create a list of favorite feeds, which could then be added as a list too, so you get a "feed of feeds of feeds"...ok!
[Off-topic] meltwater:
Now added the official XdaTv Podcast feed!
[Off-topic] Skellyyy:
So, we're supposed to understand that last part? :eek::D

Btw would it be possible to put the XDA podcasts on iTunes? That's my usual route when it comes to podcasts so it would be more convenient for me. :)
[Off-topic] meltwater:
Most of that is out of date, since we now have a proper podcasts.

The last part, is some thoughts I was having for sharing podcasts around since I find it a hassle to find good feeds online and then transfer them to my phone, google reader etc etc, since mobile devices aren't too great at finding and checking out feeds.

I don't think there is any reason why we can't put the XdaPodcast on itunes, but it's only been released today (as I've just completed the app for updating it).

Once we are confident of the update process then it'll get posted, as it makes sense to be sure it works and we can keep it updated quickly.

PS: The feed is quite easy to add manually, as I tried to make the url as easy as possible!

http://feeds.feedburner.com/XdaTv
[Off-topic] meltwater:
I've just updated the first post to include information of Social Casting RSS Feeds, using the instructions provided you should be able to easily be able to set up feeds for Facebook, Twitter and Google+.

Also if you are a Google Reader user, if you use the above feeds, then it seems like google will fetch the data using their own servers (which for me means my work web filtering does not block them!).

I am only an ordinary user not a Dev,i am only translating the information,any question should be posted on original threads.

It is a success, however it is a screen replacement of zpad not gtab, sorry for that since i thought the two is the same last time i post this,but they are very similar in hardware,so you maybe still want to see this

That so new its not even listed on the manufacturer site

The only 10.1 hi res is

CLAA101WA01 on their website. The model you have listed does not show up yet, and so not available yet.
[G Tablet General] mikeyaomikeyao:
thanks for the information, CLAA101WA01 is 5.2mm in thickness and CLAA101WB03 is of 3.6mm in thickness which is the max thickness to fit in the case
[G Tablet General] manikin13:
True but not available as of yet. Once it is I will certainly be in line for one of these. If the specs are correct, that just puts the gtab over any other tablet on the market.

:D
[G Tablet General] Roxxas049:
Is the file below your first post the re-hash that big idea made? Because I can't make heads or tails of the chinese site.
[G Tablet General] DudeInMyrtleBeach:
translate dot google dot com
[G Tablet General] Roxxas049:
Well if you bother to go to the site he linked, then you can see that google will translate it for you, but which button do you press to download the file?

The one I thought it would be asks for a user name and password.

Which takes me back to my ORIGINAL question, is the file the OP linked the file needed to change the resolution on the g tab if a new higher resolution screen is installed?
[G Tablet General] mikeyaomikeyao:
Sorry for not response. Time is different i went to sleep. If you visit the orginal site you will find a link which leads to exactly the same datasheet i gave in attachment here. no rom available since big ideas did not give. As she said she had borrowed the screen from a friend and get it work with a selfcompiled rom. but drop it to the ground and break it later. She asked for another one but only got only the datasheet of the screen
[G Tablet General] mikeyaomikeyao:
Attachment is a pdf so please extract it and read it. It is not something to change the res in rom.
[G Tablet General] mikeyaomikeyao:
I downloaded the pdf file of the original thread by big ideas and put it in my attachment.the hash do not meet the hash in the file name.
[G Tablet General] hongkai:
If you search LP101WH2 TLA2 on alibaba.com, there are many suppliers. Don't know whether its thickness fits though.
[G Tablet General] mikeyaomikeyao:
quick update now. in the original thread bigideas said she just order 5 of this kind of screens via a friend in HK. SO this thread is closed and we will wait, they may come to xda to tell the result themself.:D. thanks for paying attention.
[G Tablet General] dagbro:
i'm just seeing a slight issue here. The G-tablet's 1024x600 screen is a 16:10 display, whereas 1366x768 is 16:9.

Are the pixels on the high-res display non-square, and if so, is there any correction being done somewhere along the line?

EDIT; i checked your specs and nope, they're perfectly square. The g-tablet on the other hand DOES have non-square pixels and a physical aspect ratio close to 16:9.

This panel will be magnificent in the g-tablet :D
[G Tablet General] mikeyaomikeyao:
Maybe that can be a issue. but we will wait until bigideas post picture or video of the detail of screen replacement and the final effect and then make the decision wether or not it improves things and then i will follow them to buy the screen. there will be the need to flash into the rom bigideas has finished specially for the screen ,which may solve the problem of ratio,the rom is not posted now . the people on ezpad think the screen can give a better experience with the coming honeycomb which maybe still a little faraway so we pay a lot of attention to the thing. chenglu and bigideas are the legend of ezpad and i am only a ordinary user who loved xda and ezpad and wants to help.

lets hope the screen fits and works with our tablet. If we had a good screen, this thing would be perfect

I'm totally new to the software side but can crack cases...curious if this is a fit?

bliss computers => lg-philips-lp101wh2-tl-a2-laptop-lcd-screen-10-1-wxga-hd-led.aspx (won't let me post links yet)

I emailed the sales department for recomendations ans confirmation on fit for the G tab...of course i'm clueless on what firmware/software mods would be needed. Just ordered mine from amazon so obviously I need to have a plan to gut the poor thing before it shows up:)
[G Tablet General] mikeyaomikeyao:
Thickness is the priority when you choose your screen,most laptop screens are 5.2mm and the original screen is 3.6mm, our guys tried something made by lg and plugin with no change of software and it is thicker and only backlight on and nothing show up on the screen at all, when you are going to change the res i guess there are adjustment in something called timesequence or timegraph, you need to change things in driver in the rom,the thing you can see from a datasheet,i do not have experience with those things so my guess may be wrong. i can not tell you whether your screen will work or not, you can have a try if you like. i am also only a ordinary user who are waiting for the result, but i think this is the most promising attempt ever because bigideas seems to be capable of doing such adjustments.this is not yet a fit since no promised result and no detail pictures is released, you do not need to make your decision based on the information above whether you try your own screen or not
[G Tablet General] dougmod:
so let me see if i get this right?

an order has been placed for 5 screens that should "just work" upon install. correct?

they should have better viewing angles, higher res AND correct thickness?
[G Tablet General] Prof-KOS:
If I'm reading this right, there has to be a ROM that addresses the screen resolution. It's not plug and play, but in theory it should work.
[G Tablet General] SiL3nTKiLL:
that is corect i think...
[G Tablet General] TxToast:
I got an email back from Bliss recommending a screen they say will fit..

www [dot] blisscomputers.net/lg-philips-lp101wh2-laptop-lcd-screen-10-1-wxga-hd-led.aspx

I sent back a request to confirm the depth of the screen (I had specified ~3.6mm in my email). I'm probably covering old ground since I know others have been doing a lot more of this...
[G Tablet General] Roxxas049:
If it is thinner than the LG LP101WH1-TLB1 then we may have a winner.

Then we just have to figure out to make the resolution change on the tablets... anyone working on that yet?
[G Tablet General] mjmccreary:
Apparently that screen is 5.2mm thick and has worse viewing angles than the original screen.

displayalliance.com/storage/1-spec-sheets/LP101WH1-TLA1.pdf

There is a spreadsheet comparing possible screen replacements in an earlier thread.
[G Tablet General] mikeyaomikeyao:
I can not reply to all questions since i am only paying attention to the original thread and i am not in the experiment,i am only translate things to you guys. the result has not been posted out yet and we are all waiting anxiously to see where it will go. I will give you update if there is update on the chinese thread, and once it turns out to be a success. I think they will post it there themself. Yes i do think a special rom is needed,or some sort of fix to adjust the res,has anyone succeed with plug in and it just work fine without any change in the software ? They have compiled some rom for chinese users before and they are as good as vegantab so i totally trust they can get things right. What about viewing angle and other things? I think the datasheet tells you everything and i worry about the viewing angle most.
[G Tablet General] dougmod:
Cool. I can't wait to hear if it works out
[G Tablet General] jhankg:
Any update on this? I'd be interested in replacing the screen on my NI Adam.
[G Tablet General] AK SeaWolf69:
also if you can post a youtube tutorial would be great!
[G Tablet General] daml:
Sorry to get a little off-topic but, when my adam arrives I will try the lg. I'll have to hunt down screen dimensions. BTW Search for the other screen replacement threads in the gtab section. Back when I owned this tablet and the vega I succesfully replaced my screen with a 1366 one. Same angles, which didnt bother me AND the res DID look amazing.
[G Tablet General] mikeyaomikeyao:
ok, quick update, as far as i read on ezpad forum, Bigideas said the company informed her the ordered screens will be send to her office Marth 18, but there is not any update eversince about whether she has got the screens or not. People are waiting for any update on ezpad. however she also said the process of getting the 5 screens is not easy and further orders for the screens for more people may be difficult.

[G Tablet General] sjmoreno:
Sell it!

If the screen on the gTab still bothers you guys so much then why don't you sell it on eBay?

There are a lot of eager buyers on there that don't care that much about viewing angles. Then, with the money you get from selling your gTab (plus the money you would have spent on the replacement screen) you can just buy a new Motorola Xoom (which has a tegra 2 chip, comes with Honeycomb, and a warranty) and be done with it. The WiFi-only version is going on sale at a lot of places (Sam's Club, CostCo, Staples, etc.) for anywhere between $539 to $599.

If I was bothered about the screen as much as it seems some of you guys are, this is what I would do. It seems like such an obvious solution to me but maybe I'm missing something.
[G Tablet General] bgrifxny:
i am down for a group buy as well
[G Tablet General] markmanjd:
While I am not in for a replacement screen (broke - Sears still owes me a $300 refund) and I do wish the screen were better I just had to reply.

So much of what this site is about and the people are here for is the spirit of experimenting and modding and improving things. Heck, if you don't like any part of a stock Gtab why bother with all the flashing and crashing when you can sell it and get one that works better out of the box?

It is fun! Where else do we get to do this stuff? Even if you do work in a hardware company and have tons of stuff to work on, no one lets you play with a product like this!
[G Tablet General] Icedvoco:
Always one :P

Truth be known mate i am not that bothered by the screen, the tablet is great, but if i could drop a new better one in, why not do it. I doubt going through the effort of selling the gtab to go buy a xoom would be cheaper than just replacing the gtab screen. Im inclined to think id be wasting alot of money to get a tablet not much better than the gtab just for a better screen, if a alternat screen comes up for the gtab, great, if not, no biggie.
[G Tablet General] mpguy84:
Exactly! Id be up to pay for another screen for like $75-120 and save my $200-300 more than buying a xoom. If not, not a big deal to me also, I learn to live with it :)
[G Tablet General] sjmoreno:
Alright... sorry if I offended anyone. Group hug?

I get your point(s). It's fun to tinker. I just put in my two cents because a screen replacement seemed pretty drastic but hey if you've got the time, skill, and desire to do it then by all means do it.
