Most ROMs won't work for me now - G1 General

For some reason I can't flash most ROMs now. I tried flashing soulifes new rom, JAC's hero 2.0, and dude's 1.3, but all of them get boot loop. I have the new spl and right radio. My ext2 partition is clear. Haykuro's 6.0r1 works, and so does his ion. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

did u wipe?

try to drop down to r29 again reroot and start fresh and remember to wipe every time u go from rom to rom u can only upgrade (not wipe) if ur going for example ion r1 to ion r2 and remember have the latest spl and radio (RADIO FIRST!)

^^^ Maks Signature is Hillarious
yea jumping between ROMs always requires a wipe. If the only thing u can get to work is Haykuro builds, youre prob not wiping to go to a new kind of rom.

I've been wiping.... I don't know what's up. I guess I'll just re-root.

i had and still have the same problem, dude and hero wont work but dude used to. i have wiped before every rom change. i am cyns newest rom and works everytime. hopefully you can pinpoint what is wrong and post back. good luck

cleaning your ext2/3 should do the trick, you may have to wipe your ext 2/3 then before booting your phone, flash your ROM AND do a wipe on your system.

^try that. Do root required apps still work? Wifi tether etc

What SPL for most sense or hero roms

I've noticed that not all roms put what spl we should have, so is it safe to assume that 1.33.2005 good for the rom?
The rom I'm looking at is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=574526
Yes! Tried it myself
I think it's good for all roms, actually it might even be a prerequisite for all hero roms except micro hero.
Not 100 % sure of the latter though.
I just tried flashing the hero rom and it flashed just fine but after it got passed the mt3g splash it just repeated the hero and htc splash, I'm back on cyanogen, any ideas on how to get it working?
Did you wipe before you flashed? Also, the first boot can take a few minutes.
If it's neither lack of wipe or lack of patience I have no idea
It's lack of patience lol. I'll try flashing it again and wait this time.
Okay, well it's not lack of patience unless waiting 1 hour isn't long enough. Any body else have some ideas to get this working?
Kaptur mentioned it, but did you wipe before applying the update.zip ?
Yes I did.
Then I recommend you try another ROM, maybe evil D:'s sense/nano sense as apparently thats quick/stable.
it has to be a bad download or you need to wipe a couple more times I've wiped and it still did a boot loop before so try wiping at least3 times and /or try a new rom
I flashed 2 different heros after that, 1 of them i got the splash loop and evil's worked.
I usually find if a wipe then flash doesnt work, I just repeat the same procedure i.e pull battery, wipe and reflash then boot does the trick.
If all else fails repartition card and then flash, and if that doesnt work, i guess that rom isnt for you.
Im having this problem with nano sense.
I always wipe completely and recreate all partitions if im running a hero rom
Wouldn't recreating the partitions get rid of my apps? If not, I might try that.

Moving from Cyanogen to Super D

Hi Peeps,
I have searched in vain for a guide to changing from cm 4.2.15.1 to super d stable, but I cant seem to find one.
can someone advise me what to do so I dont brick my phone, and is it really worth moving to super d I hear its faster.
I am running cyanogen 4.2.15.1 H&E red I have the ra-dream 1.5.2 recovery, I have ext2 partition on sd card and I have a PVT board
Also I am worried about the ext2 partition because I have heard you have to remove it first and there is a certain way to do it??
Thanks in Advance
I was able to flash SuperD over Cyanogen without wiping or repartitioning. This is with an sdcard partitioned the usual way, fat32 and ext2.
The only issue I ran into was the battery meter - had to remove /data/system/batterystats.bin. Not sure of the exact procedure, so I did that from the recovery console and then booted up with a full charge.
Works great and really is a lot faster.
I would always wipe when moving from one rom to another. You never know what's could be hanging around.
I go thru this same process every time and never had problems:
1. Nandroid or Bart backup
2. Copy backup from SDcard to PC just in case SD card gets corrupted somehow
3. Wipe
4. Install new rom
5. Fix apk mismatch
6. Reboot
7. Check to see if Gapps are working, namely market, talk, sync, and of course google voice

5. When you say "fix apk mismatch"....what do you mean?
7. I did the same thing (went from Cyanogen to SuperD) and I can boot into SuperD fine, but it won't connect to T-mobile's network and I am missing the Market. Any help?

It's an option in Amon_RA's recovery

Wipe, Flash the DRC83_Base_Defrangled, the flash SuperD. Since both are legal, they need to pull the google apps from the base. And you would probably be fine without a wipe from SuperD to CM since they are similar donut builds. Wipes are recommended if you go from eclair to donut (and donut to eclair, elcair to sense, sense to dount.....). Cyanogen fixed it so you don't need to wipe as in the olden days...

I see. So I am already running the DRC83_Base_Defrangled. Here is what I am doing:
I am currently running Cyanogen 4.1.99. My build number is DRC83. But my model number says "Android Dev Phone 1" <-- could that be why I don't have the Market in my roms?
So anyways this is what I do from Cyanogen 4.1.99: I backup, wipe, flash the DRC83, flash SuperD, then flash the 26I radio. Like I mentioned, rom boots up fine, just no market and no network access. Am I doing something wrong?
Absolutely no reason to flash the radio. The only thing that I can think of is that you have a bad download? Download this. Go to recovery, backup, flash the base, flash the rom. That should be all you have to do. Also, try CM 4.2.15.1 if SuperD isn't working for you. You are using a version of cyanogen about 4 months old and there have been 20 something releases since.

i believe he said that he is running latest cyan rom. try backing up your fat32 partition and reformat, that should do the trick

K. Did what you said. Downloaded the base you provided. Flashed. Then flashed the SuperD rom. Booted up. First I see is "!Sorry - The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Still no network and still no Market. Urgh. Frustrating!!
Also, I tried CM 4.2.15.1 after the SuperD didn't work and it hung on the G1 screen. IDK why 4.1.99 works but not 4.2.15.1.
i guess it didnt hung, you just have to wait a bit longer.

**Rooted Phones*** Reset back to First Time Root

Ok apparently in my futile attempts to OC the Pure Hero 1.0 Rom I've totaly got something hosed up. The phone works but features that others have working flake out on me. Is there a way to wipe fully the whole thing and reset back to the rooted 2.1 Rom as we did before the Recovery image.
If it is as simple as just flashing the original developers Rom please don't flame me..I did search.
I do a factory wipe then Dalvik Wipe then Ext Partition wipe before flashing an image.
I currently can't get Wifi to work on Punk.Kaos Rom nor on the Pure Hero (I think that was an issues though)..
Thanks for all the hard work you guys do....
copy a rom you want to use to your sdcard. then go into recovery, wipe the phone, then flash zip from sdcard. done!
That is what I have been doing and some of the settings are still flaking out and the Kaos rom is V15 he fixed wifi in v2. I can't even get Jamezelle's sensable rom to even flash with out a boot loop at animation.
Thanks for the help.
No nandroid backup?? I know before flashing the first Rom on the phone I made a nandroid back up on my wifes and pretty much do everytime before flashing a new rom. These things are priceless
Follow the the original root procedure.
*Suggestion*, when phone boots.... open setcpu and adjust the CPU OC setting.... maybe...
id say go to the downgrade to 1.5 from 2.1 root thread and do that and then re upgrade and reinstall the recovery image.
I agree with doing a full downgrade to 1.5 and rooting again. I had problems similar to yours and this solved the problem. Good luck.

Thanks I just wanted to confirm that should be the process of going to 1.5 thne to 2.1 and restoring the Recovery. One last question and then a Mod can close this thread. The Rom Manager in the Market will that work for us or is that a Droid only thing?
Thanks for the great advice.
Forgot to answer the nandroid backup yes did it before every new flash of a Rom they would come back weird also. Secondly how do I get my SD card back to full Fat32 and not the ext+Fat partition for A2SD mode? I never could get the A2SD to work fully.

[Q] rooted EVO, but cant flash most roms =(

so i went to install the newest infected rom with sense 3.0 and was very excited about it. repartitioned my card with RA, wiped, and installed and got boot loops upon sense startup. tried a dozen combinations of superwiping, cache/dalvik wipe, double flashing, fix uid, etc but no luck.
i then decided to try the BOS kingdom rom and get the same problem, boot loops as soon as sense loads. maybe i wasnt destined to install sense 3.0 roms.
ok, so i decide to try KingsROM shift4g blakk rom. its a sense 2.x rom so it should be ok, right? nope! boot loops as soon as sense loads up.
at this point, i suspect its my sd card. i use a 1gb without any repartitioning and try KingsROM again. still same problem. the only roms i can actually get flashed are the latest Fresh and Warm 2.2.
i think the problem may be my phone and not the sd card or rom.
details:
003 with nova panel, S-OFF with unrevoked forever
HBOOT 2.10.0001
RADIO 2.15.00.11.19
i have tried RA 2.3 and CW 2.5.0.7 (the newer version doesnt support some sort of scripting so i use an older version). i also superwipe 2-3x before EVERY flash and sometimes wipe cache/dalvik AFTER a flash.
does anyone have any suggestions on what i should do or try? any input is appreciated and i thank you all in advance.
Those roms all use the same kernel, try flashing the rom then netarchys latest kernel, youll lose cam but I can almost guarantee it will boot.

wow that certainly stinks since i use the camera a lot. i will definitely try it for the sake of trying. i wonder why it wouldnt be able to handle a kernel especially if its a stock htc one iirc.
superwiped 3x, flashed rom, flashed netarchy kernel, then did cache/dalvik wipe with same results =(

it happens. it means you need more coffee

Hey guys, i really need help here

I'm currently using the wildfire. I rooted it and installed rom manager.
I did backup my rom (CWRv3.2.0) and installed the wildpuzzle rom (Newest one).
But i think forgot to wipe off the data. After installing the rom, it booted fine but it says that my phone memory was low.
I waited for a very long time but it does not respond. Hence, i thought something was wrong and tried to go to cwr and did a factory reset.
But now it gives me a black screen after the htc logo.
And after 10 to20 minutes and it still does not respond. I went back and did a restore(before the wildpuzzle rom I've installed)and it came out that my phone cannot boot and stucked in a loop. (after 2 turns it went back to cwr)
I'm scared that i might bricked my phone.
Help please! Much appreciated!
When you do a Factory Reset in Clockworkmod, you need to flash a ROM again. Also, if you read the thread completely, WildPuzzle 2.3.2 does NOT work. It was released untested by danne (as he stated), and, various tests by users show it didnt boot.
EDIT: And if you are talking about Android 2.2 Sense ROM's, you will need to flash it using Clockworkmod 2.x. They are not supported on 3.x
So do i have to flash a new rom like CyanogenMod ? Sorry, I'm a complete noob at these. Edit: Its the Wildpuzzle 2.2 froyo v0.8 rom.

Yeah flash the CyanogenMod 7 ROM. But before you install this ROM please make sure to Wipe the data, Clear cache partition and also to clear dalvik cache and then proceed to install the CM7 ROM
Yes! Thanks a lot! Flashed Cm7 Nightly Builds 2.3.4. Running perfectly
EDIT: Wifi does not connect lol, stucked on locating ip address.
