OK! Found it, downloaded the RA Recovery and the SPL/radio. Still a little confused on the instruction, but I'll look it over again.

What's easier to use for the Backup? Nandroid backups or Titanium backup?

Since I have to backup to restore everything. (I think).
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
Question, once I update the SPL and radio. Will it resolved my battery drain too?
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
You cannot make a backup without a recovery img. You have to fastboot flash amonra before u can do that. Titanium is for backing up the apps. Nandroid is for backup of the os as a whole. People's opinion on the battery have varied on anything so that is hard to say.

Are u getting the instructions ok?
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
I went over the instruction and still not sure what file I need to use.

I downloaded the dream_2708kit.zip and Dream: recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img

But this throw me off. :confused:

I am not using ezTerry's ROM at the moment. So, should I download what I quoted above? :o
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
Hmm, reading around more and found the instruction in flashing RA Recovery through Terminal on the phone. Can that be done in my case to fix this issue? Just a question. :D
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
Yes to just fix recovery. Or fastboot flash it
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
Cool, I will try that for the recovery. :D Still have to deal with the SPL and radio. :(
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
I'll help u. It's easy
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
U have to decide what rom u want to run to decide on the kernel if need be to answer your previous question
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
Thanks, I'll probably need that help.

That I don't really know, I just want the best one possible without the battery drain issue. The one I have (CM 6.0.0 RC1) seem to be running pretty good so far, with some of the bloat apps taken off.

I just want to be able to get into the recovery mode, so I can back up my ROM. Just incase I did something stupid enough, so I can recover back to where I was using the recovery mode. And also, hopefully solved my problem with the battery drain.

What is your recommendation thou on which ROM?
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
Just want to make sure I am doing it right. All I need to do is open the Terminal on my phone, and run these command line, right?

Once at #
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
Never seen u have to type all the mounting lines. On amonra thread I believe it says just the flash command. That's the way I did it.

$su

#flash_image (rest of line)-let it flash

#reboot recovery

Edit: find amonra thread and follow his instructions.
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
With these commands you are copying the recovery image to the /system partition. On OTA-ROMs there is/was a procedure which was installing the /system/recovery.img to recovery partition every time a phone is booting. I do not expect it's what you want to do ;)

You are already on 1.33.2005 SPL so you can use fastboot to flash your recovery. Type

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

from your PCs shell while recovery.img is in your current directory and I suppose you have a set up fastboot on your PC. This is the easiest and most secure way to do it.

GRRR! Terminal on the phone didn't work for the recovery. It said not enough memory, guess I'll have to do it the ADB way from my PC.
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
Yeah try fastboot flashing it and let me know what happens
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
GRRR! I forgot that I did no installed the Java JDK on my spare laptop (the one I got today) :o I'll have to take care of that during lunch. Also got to fix the usb driver issue. :eek:
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
To get back to your question. :D Sorry for the late response. :o

Well, from more research from reading through the forums. I have decided that I want to use Gingerbread Hoshi.
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
OK! I must not be getting to the point then.

Loaded JavaSE JDK, Andriod SDK is on with the latest platform tools.

ADB is in the android folder with all the required dll files.

correct drivers is loaded.

Booted into fastboot, computer see the device. But when trying to connect via adb it said there no device found. :rolleyes: :confused:
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
You're in fastboot mode. That's why.

Fastboot devices (hit enter)

Then u should get a serial number. U have to be in the correct directory in the prompt as well. Tools or platform-tools
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
Still not working. ***Crying***

I hope I don't have to reload everything from scratch, took me long enough to even do that.
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
Maybe you should go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139 and follow these instructions.

If you find yourself stuck without recovery!!

Dream

1) Download: orange-1.58.73.2.nbh (MD5: aca4dee0c1ece7e9773f2ecbdfbba7c0) (mirror)

2) enter fastboot and run 'fastboot flash nbh orange-1.58.73.2.nbh'

3) wait for the entire nbh to flash

4) boot into the bootloader again (it will be an engineering SPL 1.42.2000)

5) You can now re-flash the radio/hboot/recovery via fastboot that you wish to have installed.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Also i found a rom im liking a lot so far. Maybe you should try it out. http://www.movilzona.es/foro/superaosp-para-dream-magic-por-super-tmel-tolemac-t4909.html#unread

WHOAAA! I some how got my recovery mode back, but my G1 phone just crashed on me (at least I think it did). The phone keep looping at the Android splash screen. When I did the full wiped and try to reset it. It force close and will not let me get past the setup screen.

I have to flash a new ROM. with the correct SPL and radio. We'll see what happens.

I'll load it will the ROM you recommended thou.
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
OK! Finally got the radio-2.22.27.08 and hboot-1.33.0013d (firerat's SpoofSPL). Loaded 6.1 from http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/11548-cm61-2708port-for-new-radiospl-unofficial/ reboot and now I'm stuck at T-Mobile G1 screen.

What now?:confused:
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
maybe try a different rom? Did you use superwipe? Fastboot erase system -w and fastboot erase boot? You should try doing the fastboot wipes and superwipe then flash a rom. Maybe a different one
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
OK! I know I shouldn't have done this, but instead of trying to fix it.

I an starting from scratch, and downgraded to RC29, currently trying to remember what I did the first time. Can't find that instruction that I had before, it was easy... :D Trying to get the radio and SPL also root done.
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
OK! I got it back to where I'm on RC29 with the Flash Recovery for RA Cyan.

Looking for the right ROM to load with the correct SPL and radio. :D
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
Follow the instructions in ezterry's thread and try the rom I suggested before or froyo by Laszlo. If u need help ill be around in the morning working on my brothers phone anyway. :)
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
I got the SPL 13d and radio 2708 loaded finally.

I probably will need help in the morning. Still trying to load the ROM that will work, every one of them so far that I loaded keep getting stuck at G1 screen or looping at android splash. I loaded my SD card with the ROMs to try out until I find the one that will work, including your suggestion. Will I also need to load the gapps too on all of them?

UPDATE: Got the rom you suggested loaded, and it's looping at the "S" splash. How do I get out of that? Hmm, I have not loaded the boot that come a long with it, may be I'll try that. It supposed to give me 15 more Meg mem.
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
OK! It's still looping with that splash. What SPL and radio you are using with that ROM? Just wondering.
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
I have the .25 radio and 13d spl from ezterry. Also have amonra recovery 1.7.0 with my sdcard partitioned with an ext3 partition for the superaosp. Ext4 partition with laszlo. The ext partition seems to matter
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
I am assuming you meant RADIO-2.22.28.25. I'll try to download that at lunch. In the meanwhile, I'll see if I can reformat the SD card and update it from EXT2 to EXT3. I think last night it was telling that it had problem trying to update the EXT partition.
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
That's correct. What recovery do u have? Make sure u transfer anything on your sdcard to the computer before u reformat as u will lose everything when u do it. And always make a nandroid backup
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
WOO HOO! Got it up and running this morning. I was reading one of the post by searching the forum.

Here is what I found and did. :D :cool: I love this ROM nice looking and fast on G1.
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
Good good. What rom did you get up and running? What recovery are you using? You have made a backup right?
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
SuperAosp DM 2.8.2 (your suggestion) with 15MB boot (eventhough I don't think I see the 15MB extra), SPL 2708, Radio 13d, RA 1.7.0-cyan. Oh yea! BTW, I partitioned my 8 GB SD card as follow [128MB Cache, 1024 - EXT2 (I think), and the rest FAT32], eventhough they suggested different. I figured I give the cache and the EXT a little more room to breed.

Heck yea! I backed it up this time. :D No way this thing crashing on me again for me doing something bad, like downloading apps that messed it up. ;)

Thanks again for all your advice and help.

Oh! BTW, there are different backup option (IE: google, etc...), should I do all those?
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
Glad its working for u. I have never done the Google backup. Bart is just a different backup from nand. That's all. Can't tell u which one I like better.
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
So am I, I'm glad that you suggested this ROM. Loving it so far, very fast comparing to the other one I had. I guess I'll stick with the main backup.

Now, we'll have to see how it will handle with the apps being loaded. ;) I'll find that out in a few.
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
Running very good for me. Didn't think GB could run this good but it does so far. Keep an eye on this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=736361 . I know it says froyo but the last few pages of the thread get into the GB rom you are running. Also has the theme chooser you can push in as well if you want it a few pages from the last.
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
Subscribed to the thread. Will keep an eye on it.

A few things I noticed with this ROM though, some of the setting is in spanish (not english) especially in the SubSetup, eventhough I can not read it too well. It kind of understandable.

Question, the App2SD, is the EXT supposed to be EXT3 or EXT4? Because it show (EXT3/EXT4). Or does it meant either will works. I want to turn it on.

Nevermind, I turned App2SD on and it reboot my phone. LOL! I guess it needs to do that. I think I upgrade my EXT2 to EXT3 anyway.
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
Hmmm! When it rebooted, it keep giving the Gmail softare error. I still have not a chance to setup my google account yet. Since I don't have a data plan and on a wifi connection only.

Hopefully that won't be an issue. :rolleyes:
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
Hmmm. I don't know that one. Did u flash the second zip as well? Said boot to dream I think. Not sure what it is but might be specific to the dream g1. I have a mytouch. Yes apps2sd will work with either I believe.
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
I think I did. You meant the 15MB boot file right? Because that was the only other zip file I saw. I'm going to try and flash it again, just incase.

If that is not what you meant, let me know, because I might be missing something. :D
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
I believe that's the one. Let me know how it goes

I'm still having FC issue though (here and there). I think it's the ADW Launcher that's causing it. I am still trying to find a good launcher that works better.

Anything to recommend? ;) :D

I'm using go launcher ex. Free from market. Used titanium backup to delete adw and some other stuff I don't use (voice dialer/search) ect. Running good for me
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:

Hey.

Just wondering with people out there. if you check under running services, how much are processes taking up and how much free do you see on average.

I see 150-170mb

140-160 free

Are these numbers normal is what I'm looking forward to see.

no reboot.

Holy crap. I avg about 160 used. Idk if battery life is an issue though. Been getting ~15 hrs on moderate use.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhilashraj:
WHOAA! 160s and some even in 200s?:eek:

I get a max of 170-ish at boot, and soon after some use, it deteriorates to to 60s and 70s range...

i reboot my phone once every 1-2 days ... but i constantly ensure there are no background apps running using the task-manager app...

any tips to help me out guys?

EDIT: sorry - i was looking at "Free memory" as shown under the "Advanced Task Killer" app ... while the OP was talking about free memory shown under the 'Running services' screen ..

that screen shows me around 130-145 ish
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baolongn:
From what I hear atk are bad for your phone causing the CPU to be used more to end these tasks that aren't ready to be killed. I suggest you let your CPU run off its terminate code on its on. I'm confident you'll find the stock task manager to be efficient and effective.

Anyways, back to services. Seems like nightly #19 is better taking care of my services. Got it to drop to 120 consistently and staying there.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhilashraj:
mmmm..interesting..

i just checked the built-in battery-usage app to see what's consuming power... and ATK hasn't popped on there (yet) ... but I do rememebr seeing it once or twice with a 2-3% figure next to it..

I will try to keep it off tomorrow and use the stock task manager... lets see if that improves battery life by any chance..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
i'm not sure that task managers will show up in the android list of used battery processes. but i can tell you that using task killer is a bad idea, and can lead to shorter battery life, because the OS constantly opens up apps. and the task killer is just fighting the OS killing them again, which is an endless cycle using up cpu power. these apps are periodically loaded as "empty processes" and usually will show as background on a task killer. you dont have to worry about these, they use no power. but services you may want to look out for, as they may be doing something, and could be using power.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhilashraj:
Yes sir... makes sense ...Ill start tomorrow with a freshly baked /charged battery

and kill off the ATK ..

Thanks again...It's fantastic to see all these helpful tips out here on XDA

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 99formulam6:
I have been running CM7 RC1 for a few weeks now with no issues. I have no special apps or anything besides the basics (titanium backup, setcpu, and CWM).

I ran into this issue about a week ago when I tried to flash my stock rom when I was running Gingervillian 1.5. I was getting:

E: Can't open cache/recovery/command

when I tried to flash back from stock Froyo ROM to Gingervillian and I figured it was because I used CWM 3.x.x and not CWM 2.x.x to flash from a Gingerbread ROM to a Froyo ROM...

However, since then, I installed a clean CM 7 RC1 ROM and have been fine. Then all of a sudden today, the phone locked up and I had to pull the battery and then it ran fine for a few hours and did it again. So, when I got home, I flashed a recovery from 2 days ago that was running fine and I got the cache error and then bootloops again.

WTF is going on?

The ONLY thing that changed between my recovery image from Mar 11 to now was my wife downloaded Soduko from the market, and I made a SetCPU profile for when the phone is charging. Other than that, nothing changed.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 99formulam6:
I was able to get it working...I am not sure what I did that made it work but this is what I did.

Format /cache (originally gave me the cache error)

Format /data (originally gave me the cache error as well)

Format /davlik cache

Reboot recovery

Downloaded another CWM 3.0.0.5 .img file and copied it to sd card (was going to try to flash new CWM to see if it would help).

Then I tried to Format /data again and it worked, so I tried format /cache and it worked.

Then I tried my recovery and it worked as well. So, it is working, but I think I may flash CMW 2.x.x and go back to CM 6.1 since it is stable. I know everyone says CM 7 RC1 is pretty stable as well, and I reallllly don't want to go back to Froyo...I don't want to keep having problems like this.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 99formulam6:
happened again tonight. Phone froze after running completely fine. I pull battery and try to reboot and get stuck at HTC screen. Go into recovery and get the same cache errors.

I tried formating data, cache and davlik cache and nothing is working. Is there something I am doing wrong, or something I can do to keep this from happening?

I've been having USB driver issues for a while now with my captivate (On serendipity 4.2 right now, finally decided to try to get to the root of this issue and update); I've used the SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe (and I am on 32 bit Windows XP SP3), and have always received a "USB Device has malfunctioned" message whenever I have tried to plug my Captivate in.

My computer has 2 USB Ports; one of them has a USB 1.0 hub plugged in (which has a keyboard & Plantronics Microphone plugged in as well) and the other has a Logitech mouse. I've tried both of the main USB ports, as well as the hub. The hub's been plugged in when installing and uninstalling (I'm trying to give as many details as possible in the hopes that one of these might trigger a red flag).

Anybody know what the problem might be? Maybe I've been uninstalling the drivers incorrectly? (I've done it through device manager & restarting the computer before reinstalling)
