Hi,
I have been following the steps required to root the G1, and have obtained root, up until a point. However, when trying to plug my G1 into my OS X machine to copy the remaining required files over to the SD, it has caused a kernel panic on every attempt to do this.
Before, when my G1 was at CRB43 (UK phone) it interacted just fine, so I dont know why 1.0 is causing this problem.
Anyone got any ideas?
Mine isn't the same version as you (Haykuro's Hero) but yesterday I plugged in my g1 to update my phone and it BSOD my Windows 7 build Funny, but ya I'd also like to know what would cause this, though its only done it once.

I doubt its the G1, everytime something like this happens to my mac, its always the mac's fault. Could be something corrupt, try installing Onyx. Its a mac maintenance prog. Run the automation setting and see if that helps.

Another good thing to try is go into application/utilities/disk utilities and run a permissions check on your drive. I've fixed a kernel panic that way before.

Do I need to download Deeper and Maintanence as well? Or is Onyx all inclusive?

It's all inclusive. It will prompt you to close everything except onyx too, so make sure you have everything saved. Its a great program!
Thanks for the tips guys, but still no joy. Plug G1 in and mouse pointer just freezes instantly...
Hey, you mentioned you have root to a point...
Since it seems we might not be able to fix the comp problem ( at least without some drastic steps like reinstalling the OS X possibly... ), can you tell us your goal with your phone? Are you trying to connect it so you can flash a different rom, or just trying to sync it with iTunes? Could you just buy a card reader and get to where you want to be?
I imagine you want to connect it to complete some sort of rooting process. If thats true we may be able to help you overcome the rooting issue.
If it helps, I have been running the Rogers R2 rom along side Leopard, and I don't have any troubles with them connecting.
Does anyone know if it would help to install the SDK? IDK, maybe there's some sort of drivers etc, that need to be reinstalled?

There are no drivers for the linux/mac sdk, so that won't help.
One other suggestion is to click on the apple in the menu bar, go to "about this mac", click on "more info", scroll to the bottom of the list and select logs under software. Choose the system.log and look for any indications of what the failure may be there. My guess is you have another usb device connected that is causing a problem. I had issues with my microsoft kybd/mouse and had to uninstall the stupid M$ software that came with it to get around a kernel panic (unrelated to the G1).
If you want, you can post the log here for us to look at.
ive noticed this with ubuntu, windows 7, windows xp home and mac whenever i mount the sd card over usb, any of the os'es freeze/crash -
G1 running hero/cyangen sdcard partition with ext2/fat32

Wow! Thats insanity.
Maybe unrelated, but I had to install a special ext2 format utility for my mac to even recognize the ext2 partition of my sd. And even then, it really didnt like mounting that partition. Never caused a kernal panic, but def slowed things down a lot.
Totally off-topic, but I love how Windows crashes are dubbed "Blue Screen of Death", while Mac OS gets "Kernel Panic".
Kernel Panic. lol
Sounds like a cartoon character.
yeah, sounds very Evil Orval Redenbacher-ish.

turns out its an issue with the HP mini 2133 i found others that have the same problem....after two hours of tech chat with HP problem persists....
macbook has always been finicky with the ext2 partition even with the ext2fs driver and macfuse....odd to me since mac is usually friendly....
Hey guys, just an FYI-
Giveawayoftheday.com is featuring the above listed download for 17 more hours. This is NOT warez, as multiple companies allow free downloads for a 24 hour period. My advice is to download and activate this software FAST, as there are only about 17 more hours (as of this posting) to activate it. I've found PPM 9.0 to be very easy to use while partitioning, repartitioning, and formatting my card.
It's quicker than typing it all in console
Go HERE
There's also a link for 64bit system users on that page. Happy downloading.

I second that. PM 10 is awesome for PCs, but I wouldn't use it to partition my G1. There are partitioning tools built right into the latest Cyanogen's recovery image, and scripts around it to make it easier to use.
Helpfull for noobs.. Nice find.. WIll this work for the G1? The trial ones would only partition your local drives C:\
cheers
partition manager provides an easy way for the windows user to create the correct paritions in the correct order on any sd card so is valuable in this instance.
also aside from that its brilliant if you want to move a complete operating system to a new drive, it does this with vista and the machine wont even ask for reactivation.
anyways thats way off topic...
its definately worth using instead of Gparted if you havnt got a linux based setup.
PEACE. THANX.

It's funny how things work differently for everyone. I'm running Vista x86 and never had issues partitioning my SD card on my g1. Anyhow, some may find it useful.
Just downloaded and saved I'd rather use cyanogen's recovery image though
Thank you Sr. I do find it useful .. I have always used Paragon to partition my G1 with no problems at all..
awesome man. thanks for that site. after going through some of the stuff they have given away, im gonna check it daily now. Yesterday was driver magician
Thanks for the tip! Paragon Partition Manager is the best partition software I've ever used!
real men use the parted cli
Thanks for the software, but I honestly don't like it. I prefer just booting into linux to use GParted or popping in a GParted Live USB stick

Trust me, I do the same. I keep it bookmarked in my cell and on my PC
Just to let you guys know what has happened to me in the past with paragon. I was able to use it and was very simple but 2 times out of the 3 or 4 months I used it something went wrong with the partitioning which caused my pc to crash. Thus leaving me to reinstall the OS all over again. Good thing I kept everything backed up though.
Thanks for the find, unfortunately im downloading at 15kb/s. I feel like im using aol from 95
Maybe a good idea maybe not but since google code was abolished i can't find a thing.

short answer, no it needs to work in win mo first. back to the drawing board. first you need to unlock your phone with an unlocker, then you need to flash an official rom preferrably from your carrier that is GPS enabled, then you can run android and use GPS on it. many tuts around. if you did all of this already, you didn't do it right. also, some programs in win mo require GPS to be primed before working. make sure to use something like google maps to test in win mo.
I'm curious. What's so great about Android on the phone?
I'm using Windows Mobile 6.1 and the phone seems to run fine.
Are there clear cut advantages or is it just "something different"?

Run Android from your sd card via haret. Then you can have winmo and android.
im having issues, I have the original 512mb card in the phone formatted twice with fat32 partition. Copied the 6 files from your zip file and flashed the nbh file via the windows ruu flasher all was good. Boots with the linux penguin but I get to the state where it says losetup: /dev/block/loop0: No Such file or directory Failed
Failed to mount data fs on SD Card.
/bin/sh1 can't access ttyl job control turned off.
Then it just sits there.
Help, I'm playing around with this on my partially broken vogue (have my good one running winmo) so I can fool around with it but I've tried everything I could.
Thanks
Have try it on my Kaiser... I know for sure it will not work.. and indeed... loop between reset and the HTC logo
is this different than the one dzo made?
my mistake i made the zip file really quick last night i will redo it. Apparent i didnt rename datablank.img to data.img i will fix and reupload but all you have to do is make sure the file is data.img
The link in the first post has been updated to reflect this change. My apologies.

If that is only the difference then we can rename it itself if you already have the files.
Question: Can you also replace the system.sqsh with a build you like?
(When you know for sure it is working.. beside if GPS/Bluetooth is working.)
And in the ROM there is: zimage, initrd and haret.exe?
the flash will not work on a Kaiser have try the new ZIP file.
I flashed this rom and it was very nice, but when i tried to sync my google account, it force closed and my contacts never synced. Is there a fix to this?
Can someone also make a Flashable rom for KAISER ... thanks..

Try scanning the card for errors. Aslo note that the data file needs to be named data.img. Between those 2 ideas you problem should be solved.
Roms
Here is a whole bunch of them
not sure which ones work perfectly, i know a couple of them work for me.
go ahead and try em out.

Even running natively instead of haret i have noticed battery life really sucks and i'm just talking about standby mode. Using the same programs on android as winmo i get about a third of the battery life. Can anyone recommend any battery saving tip. GPS is on only when needed and data is always on. I will not turn data off as it is always on in winmo and i have no issues with winmo.
i have been trying for several months now with nearly a hundred micro-sd cards on a dozen computers and i cannot seem to do it. i cannot take it anymore. i am offering either a trade(one of my sdcards for one that has already been used as a goldcard and is currently a goldcard) if you have created a goldcard and are willing to ship it to me in exchange for an 8GBclass 2(samsung or sandisk) or a 4GB class 4(PNY) or a 2GB kingston then please let me know.
or i can paypal you some money and you can ship me a pre-made goldcard.
i have a mT3G with a perfected SPL on a 32b board(thought i was lucky when i saw 32b pop up)
It might help if you explain where you are having problems?
i got the CID fine, i got the goldcard.img fine, the problem is when i use hxd to edit the card. it allows me to paste write the hex to the first 17 blocks but when i remove card from computer and put it back in then it has to be formatted. i know it has to be FAT32 so i'm not sure what i am doing wrong.
ps i am running hxd as administrator, currently on a vista x32 machine
And are you selecting the physical or logical tab? You should be copying the img data to the physical tab of your removable media.
Try the Goldcard tool:
(replace hxxp with http to get the working link)
hxxp://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/
Thanks! I been tring for a week to make one and that worked! Cheers
Glad I could help.

Also, make sure you format the card in the phone. I purchased a 2gb Kingston from comp usa and that is the only one I ever had to use. Other sd cards are hit and miss.
i have formatted from the phone, as well as from the computer. i will have to try out this other goldcard app, if it works then awesome and i can save some money(even though i have a bunch of extra sd cards now)
so i got home and tried the app on my vista 32-bit machine, with the app i can mount the sdcard after it claims to have made a goldcard, but when i try to flash the file from the amon_ra thread(fix perfected SPL) it can't seem to find the SAPPIMG.zip file in the bootloader. not sure at this point what i am doing wrong, i have the 1.33.0007 SPL which i have seen is more difficult but people have gotten it to work
You have to rename the sappimg.zip to sappimg.apk
It's no longer necessary to use the goldcard method to root an original (32b) mytouch
I would post a link to new instructions but I'm apparently not worthy of posting external links yet, so search google for "How To: Root the HTC MyTouch 3G | TheUnlockr" (in quotes) it should come up with an article from 04-26-2010
basically what you do is downgrade to stock android 1.5, then use flashrec to exploit a bug in 1.5 that lets you install a custom recovery (like amon-ra's recovery) and then installed a rooted rom from there
Just so you know, this doesn't replace the perfected SPL, so you will have to do that eventually if you want to be able to flash and boot images using the fastboot SDK tool (not necessary for rooting the phone, but nice to have)

It is very important to format the sd card as fat32 (and not the default fat), otherwise the bootloader will not be able to pick up any files (goldcard or not).

there must be some t-mobile mytouches that shipped with non-perfected SPLs then, because that guide worked for me. what is the point of a rooting guide that required the phone to already be rooted?
have you actually tried downgrading to 1.5, or are you just assuming it won't work?
I don't assume anything on the phones, I have deffinately tried several times. Yes some shipped with non-perfected SPLs and some shipped with perfected SPLs, luck of the draw

I ran into this problem before too. I could not create a goldcard with vista 32bit at all. I tried like 6 different cards all different sizes and it wouldn't work. I used Run as administrator mode, compatibility mode, etc. It would not work.
Yet I tried it on a Windows XP sp2 machine with a 2gb Toshiba card and it work perfectly the first time. Can't explain it.
What exactly is a goldcard, I am unfamiliar with this and would like to know. Can someone please explain to me.
In all the directions i read it said to use the reverse tool and put both your cid and the reverse cid in the goldcard. When i went to the site for the free gold card their was only one line to put your cid in. I thought that the goldcard machine would reverse it for me. I was wrong. you still need to use the reverse cid tool.
I have a WinBook TW800 from Micro Center. I wanted to load Windows 10 on it, has anyone on here done this? Maybe you can give me tips\pointers on how to go about doing this; is the update method better or would a clean install be the ideal way? Thanks for your help in advanced.
Well I got my answer today while trying to do it via the update way. I got an error that my tablet wasn't able to upgrade because the OS is compressed something about Boot WIM. SMH.

I'm having issues too. I don't think the 800 has enough space to do the install. The 801 seems like a better option due to the 16gb of storage, vs the 8gb on the 800.

No luck
Apparently I can't because the memory is full so I basically can't do anything with this POS. I can't back it up or restore it or add anything to it, it actually runs out of disk space when uninstalling stuff.
I successfully installed Windows 10 on my TW-801 I first installed internally (internal installation failed) and then installed again via the sdcard (so you have to burn the win image to the sdcard for the second install in addition to doing the download for the first install). The second time Windows 10 was activated. I am also running Ubuntu with VMWare on a virtual machine on this tablet. Windows 10 is alot better than 8.1 on this tablet. I think even though the internal installation fails it saves the Windows 10 activation code and the second install works because it is not a download and is directly from the cd or in this case the sd. Also, during the first download (that fails) two files are created on the c drive that I copied to the sdcard that I had already burned the win image on it - I don't know if that did anything or not.
