Phone is suck on android? - G1 General

I download a JF theme, change the .zip to update.zip and put it on my sdcard did the whole reboot into recovery mode (pressed alt+l then alt+s wait for the update to finish then reboot) and now when it loads, it gets suck on the android loading screen. I don't know what to do!):
Wasn't sure where to post this so sorry if it's in the wrong section.

I don't use jf's Rom anymore but I'm pretty sure something did go right
I suggest redownload then reflash see if that works if not then wipe( this is if you want to) then flash it see if this works

many of the themes are very particular to the release. an ADP theme wont work on USA or EU firmware for example. i have experienced this problem before. just put the update.zip (of the JF rom u are currently using) on the sd, boot into recovery and Alt-S it....no need to wipe

Yea just like this ^^^poster said^^^ you need to look at the theme and see what rom it is compatible with. If it doesn't mention JF then yea it won't work. If it is compatible just flash again tho you might need to reflash your rom.

I think the word you're looking for is "sTuck".

Can't Restart my CM MT3G?

I have flashed the new CyanogenMod and the Cyanogen Recovery 1.4 and when I wipe everything and flash, it'll load up and I can use the phone 100% perfectly, but once I reboot my phone, or turn it off and on, it never goes past the green boot screen. Anyone have any solutions/reasons why it does that? It's with every single Cyanogen mod too, i've tried several of them.
Probably because you have a lot of apps?
If not, reflash it.

what do you actually flash and what is the actual process, you shouldnt have any issues after it boots up the first time, wipe everything and make an exterior partition meaning get rid of your cyanogen recovery 1.4 and get amon ra's latest... look in the dev section and read up on cyan's page on how to flash the rom

Thanks for help man, right now I'm running dwang's rom 100% perfect w/ no issues at all. it can reboot and everything just fine. I'm just a little worried on going back and trying to flash cyanogens.
When I installed it, I first did the root process, downloading the .apk file and going through all that part smooth, then I downloaded and flashed the Cyanogen Recovery 1.4, and from there I downloaded the two files (DRC83_base and the latest cyan's rom, i forgot the version #) and applied update from SD, first doing DRC83 and right after doing the rom itself, without rebooting the phone. It loads up A-OK and I can installl the apps and go about my business, but once I need to restart my phone, it just never turns back on. I'm puzzled completely...I even did the whole unroot and reroot thing and STILL i'm not having any luck.
K I got confused in there some where did you flash a cyan rom at all in there I read that you flashed the drc83 zip file but sounds like you just flashed that and booted the phone lol... never tried that but.... any way it seems like you are doing everything correct onlything I could suggest is make sure you have the correct htc base image, and make sure you wipe and repair everything!!!!! and also try a differant download of cyanogen as you might have gotten a bad one or something I have never had any issues with a cyanogen rom except maybe a FC back on 4.0xx or something

stuck on white htc screen

So i have a desire hd from Three, which is unlocked and unbranded, i rooted the phone via the visionary method, got s-off, used rom manager to install clockwork mod recovery which was 2.5.1 something rather, then i created a backup, upgraded to clockwork 3.0.0.1, tried to install the cyanogenmod 6.1.3 via rom manager but didnt work, so i downloaded the zip file manually and tried to update via clockwork mod recovery now in 3.0, restarted, and am now stuck at the main HTC screen. Pulled the battery, then went back into clockwork recovery, tried to recover the backup i made, rebooted, but still stuck on htc white screen... dont know what to do help!
You could try flashing a RUU to go back to stock 1.32 would be best or you would need to downgrade to root, or you could try getting another rom image on your SD card isnt clockwork 3 4 ginger bread nightlies?
Just throwing ideas out there. Personally I would go woth the RUU.
Thanks for the reply, i remember finding some links with ruu's but i'm not sure which one i need and how to use it ?
Sorry just thought the other thing is how long did you leave it. I have read about people leaving for 30 mins and then it boots..
Start downloading this. Its the RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26 .03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed
http://www.multiupload.com/N333WKVW6M
while downloading leave your phone to boot it might surprise you..
I left it for a while but maybe not long enough, perhaps 15 minutes at one point? i'll try again, should i wipe data in clockwork and then reflash the cyanogenmod again? is it ok to keep the phone plugged into the computer via usb?
Sorry, once downloaded just run the EXE, it will walk you through the steps.
The Dev section has a lot of useful stuff in it for this sort of thing the 1st post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936214 is pretty usefull.

Worth a go whilst downloading, I would wipe 1st. Its good you still have your recovey partition (clockwork) so you should be fine. Use the RUU as the last resort as it will wipe recovery part and loose SOFF etc.. But should fix the phone.
Right so i've wiped data/factory reset and cache partition and dalvik cache, then went to choose zip from sd, chose update-cm-6.1.3-DesireHD-signed.zip, says Welcome to CyanogenMod-6.1.2-desireHD (strange?) completed. Now went to Reboot system now and waiting, still on HTC screen.
is it possible to put another rom on the sd card? i dont have a computer that i can plug the mini sd into, possible in recovery mode?

yes, but i dont know how of the top of my head, i will have a look in the dev forums, i think you use fastboot and u can push files. Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge will see this post soon. I will have a look though.
so its been 30 minutes, and it's still at the htc screen... what should i do? should i try the RUU ? i dont want to brick my phone...
from what i can find fastboot will not push files, adb but may not connect on splash screen. You could just try pulling the battery and leaving it again to boot for a bit, mine has hung before like that. The Ruu should go through and connect to phone and go through flashing. Do you have another phone that could take the SD card? im gonna boot my phone to recovery and try to push a rom to it or file.
ok i am reading this post,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558812
what i would do is goto recovery mode,
he command is:
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push c:\******.*** /sdcard
exemple with g:\update.zip :
adb push g:\update.zip /sdcard
usefull when wrong rom flashed and no sdcard reader ^^
So i downloaded a cyanogenmod 7 nightly build, installed with with clockwork 3.0.0.5, and it worked, booted in, but had a continuous logo loop, going to try leedroid
Good luck, Leedroid rocks, thats what i use. I would say if it is still looping try the ruu and then start again. The RUU will esentially factory reset.
Installed the latest Cyanogen nightly build #23, and it works perfectly now should i keep it? or should i try leedroid? i kind of want to keep using htc sense, as i have all my contacts on it..
Up to you really. I went back to leedroid because it seems faster and more stable for me and I like some of the sense widgets.

Need help flashing CM ROM

I'm having trouble with my samsung vibrant (galaxy S) I want to flash CM on it. I have root access, Clockwork Mod recovery, and ROM Manager. I go in to ROM manager and select flash ROM from SD card, I select the CM ROM which I downloaded but it gives an error "Status 7" when trying to install, and will not flash the new ROM. Any help with this would be appreciated.
ok first go into clockwork recovery on rom manager and pick flash clockwork recovery and pick vibrantmtd then pick 3x NOT 2X! Then go to download rom and choose cm7 nightlie 8 or under as above have many probs. On ur nightlie choose all three! wipe data, wipe dalvik and backup rom. On ur second nightlie u just have to wipe dalvik and backup rom.
Thanks for the help. I tried that with a slight variation. I had to manually put the ROM on the root of the SD card and named it update.zip. I flashed clockwork recovery and selected 3.x as you said. I selected all 3 options for backup and wipe. Once in recovery I select "Reinstall packages" and it finds update.zip but aborts installation with "Status 7"
Ur doing it wrong. Update package is for only rooting ur phone.

First root ur phone! Then follow my directions to get cm7
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
the phone is rooted. Is there an easy way for me to double check that? Maybe I'm confusing two processes, but I do have the ROM on the SD card. Am I trying to apply it incorrectly? When I'm in recovery my only options are:
Reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
format internal SD-card
I'm used to see other option such as on my MT4G which has "install zip from SD card" That is what I typically use to flash a new rom.
Sorry if I'm missing something, but I do appreciate the help
I've been messing with it all night. I wound up doing the ODIN to JFD to get myself back to 2.1. I installed rom manager again, and it appears that when I tell it to flash clockwork mod and then reboot in to recovery I am actually going to stock recovery. I think the options that I listed earlier are for stock recovery as well. I think the main thing I'm missing is the "Install ZIP from SD Card" option in recovery. I guess at this point I'm unsure if I'm rooted, and don't know how to get the correct recovery so I can flash the ROM I'd like.
If ur recovery is blue then u need reinstall packages twice then u will be rooted, then it will turn green. Then go into rom manager and flash clock work recovery. Then put ur rom on internal sd and ur ready to flash. Enjoy
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Ok, so we can narrow things down a bit. My recovery is blue. I've downloaded the update.zip that I found from "NOOB Root guide" here on XDA, but no matter how many times I reinstall packages recovery never turns green.
I've also tried the one click root method which does the same thing as above but it just automates things a bit. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739300)
Bump.
Many thanks to movieaddict who has helped so far, but it appears that I don't have root access, and the typical steps found in this thread are not working for me. Any other ideas?
ok is ur phone hardware locked?? by checking by doing this do the 3 button combo to get into download mode. First power off ur phone then plug in ur usb cable to phone and into pc then hold down the up volume and down volume and THEN hold down the power button and let go after a few sec u should see download mode.. If it goes into download mode then ur phone is not hardware lcked and we can go from there if it is hardware locked? then follow this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801722
if it isnt hardware locked then make sure update package file isnt corrrupted and make sure u put it on ur internal sd card. Make sure the update package is 632 kb sometimes when downloading stuff happens.
im gonna tell u how i do root and flash! First odin back to eclair must easier to root then. Second put the update package on ur internal sd card and dont unrar it leave it as is. Then turn off ur phone and hold down the up volume and the down volume and THEN the power button and as when u SEE THE vibrant logo let go of power button. Ur recovery will be blue then select reinstall package and select yes, it will then go through stuff and come back to recovery blue then do it again and it will turn green. Once its green then select the rom u want to flash and ur ready to go.
Thanks again. From your instructions I can tell that the phone is hardware UNlocked. I've previously gotten in to download mode. also, I see some differences in how you describe the root process. The update.zip is 633kb, I'll try to redownload it again... also, when I hit reinstall packages I am not prompted with yes/no, it just does it. It is a very quick process, and then it auto reboots the phone, but you said it should bring me back to recovery. I'm not sure why that would be happening
I'll mess around with this some more tonight. Hopefully I can nail this down. Sorry to be a PITA.
yah it should bring u back to green recovery after doing it twice! Yah that was my bad it asks u yes or no when flashing...lol!
Sent u pm!!!
Try Superoneclick root! That always works for me. When u reinstall packages and it reboots, clockwork usually has NOT been installed, I always Odin then install Tom Manager, flash Clockwork, then its off to the races!

I've been going over the suggestions all night. I feel like I'm following the instructions... not that they are even that difficult. I get the update.zip on my sd card, I boot in to stock recovery (blue) I reinstall packages, the phone reboots in to normal boot mode, I reboot in to recovery and reinstall packages again. I repeat this process multiple times hoping that one of these times I'm going to see a green recovery. I know it's all smooth sailing from there. I even recorded a short clip of me doing this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPreHj16UEU
Is it possible that i've tried so many different way of doing this that I have the phone in a weird state, and now these guides aren't working due to those previous attempts? I tried super1click... wound up getting an error "Getting mount path" ... "failed"
A simple way to check for root would be to download Terminal Emulator from the market and type in "su" without the quotations. If you get $ or permission denied you are not rooted. If you get a super user prompt followed by a # you should have root. Also which rom are you on now? If you are on stock Kb5 the recovery could be giving you some issues trying to flash the CWM recovery or at least for me it did. I suggest using ODIN to go back to JFD, then using super one click root (make sure your screen is set to not go off for the 10 or 30 minute time frame) I suggest this because I have had the "failure to mount" issues many times and it only seems to happen if my phone screen goes off while attempting the root. Once super one click completes, reboot your phone, install Rom manager, then reboot into recovery. You will have to select re install packages from there. The clockwork screen will be green as a few others have stated. I have attached an image below of clockwork, mine is orange since it's cm7 but yours will look similar,but green. From here just choose install from zip sd card, choose zip and flash away. Best of luck to you!

Is there something that removes the root access when you reboot the phone? I flashed the recovery for Galaxy S Vibrant (NOT Vibrant MTD) and was able to get to CWR (green), but sometimes when I go in to recovery it is back to blue... if I reinstall packages it takes me to green. Along those same lines I notice SU keeps asking me if the same application can have SuperUser permissions, so it seems like something is not sticking.
are you on 2.1 or 2.2? if you'r on 2.2 and use the update.zip it wont work you have to use superoneclick root ,happened to me too.
Thanks for responding. The phone was on 2.1 because I used ODIN to go back to JFD.
I've since sold the phone (didn't care for it much) and gotten a G2X (which I'm also not wild about). Thanks for all the help everyone!

Having a bit of an issue with NAND HD2

Hey guys, I just tried to do the whole NAND android thing on my HD2, but I've hit a snag, I flashed the radio, installed HSPL 2.08 and that Mag thing (the thing with the 12 menu options) and Clockworkmod with 150mb partition and they work all fine, In this guide:

3. FLASHING A CWM (CLOCKWORK MOD) ROM
1. Connect your phone to your pc via the USB Cable
2. In the Clockwork Mod main menu select 'wipe data/factory reset' and then 'Yes' on the next screen
3. When the data wipe is complete, select 'install zip from sd card' in the main menu
4. Go down to 'choose zip from sdcard' and select
5. Scroll down to your CWM Rom (which you should have copied to the Root of your Storage Card) and select it
6. Select 'Yes' from the options and wait until you get a message saying 'Install from sdcard complete
Note: You can repeat steps 3-5 if you have more zips to install such as gps data or screen mods
7. Once finished press the 'Back' button to get to the previous menu screen
8. Select 'reboot system now' to restart your phone and your Android Rom should boot
9. Once Android has booted and you have gone through the setup screens, LONG PRESS the 'End' button and select reboot to reboot your phone to avoid possible FC (Force Close) problems
NOTE: The first boot of your Rom will take alot longer than subsequent boots so leave it and give it time (15 minutes max)

Yay its working, awesome. I just installed it through clockwork mod, had no issues.

ClockWorkMod Recovery Problem

Hi, I used the paid version of ClockWorkMod Recovery to backup, then download the 'Cyclonic Rom'. Well, it rebooted to a 'Cyclonic Rom' startup screen (animated lettering) - but that's it. I'm wary to unplug the battery if it's actually flashing, but this has been going on for 20 minutes or more. Can I pull the battery and see what happens? How long does a new ROM take to install, this is my first one. Thanks.
BTW: These CAPTHCA's are getting tough! This will be the 4th try!
fixed it
I unplugged the battery and did a factory reset/format in ClockWorkMod. I rebooted and all seems well so far.
20 minutes is a looong time for Cyclonic to boot. Is it still working ok? As far as CW goes, I only use Rom Manager to downlod what I want/need. When it comes to flashing I wipe everything manually and flash from recovery. I don't trust the app. But thats me.

+1 to that. I always use the same Method for Flashing Roms ( The one linked in my Sig ) . Clear everything Manually. I try to never deviate from that. Reason being, after Flashing literally hundreds of times I've found it to be the most reliable way to Flash a Rom. Meaning the least amount of possibilities for issues later on down the road .

And don't forget to wipe dalvik.
I have been searching (as in using the 'search' function) for a solution or answer to this, but couldn't find anything. This seemed to be the best thread to dig up instead of starting a new one.
Within Clockworkmod, whenever I try to go into recovery (either trying to 'reboot into recovery' or installing a ROM from SD card), it always throws me into Android System Recovery 3e instead of CWM recovery. Of course the stock recovery doesn't recognize my downloaded ROM.
I've also noticed that trying to update a ROM in HBOOT via a new PG06IMG.zip file on SD root is not working, except to wipe all my system and apps data, and then returning me back to rooted 2.2. HBOOT seems to read the new zip file fine, but when I reboot nothing has changed.
I've read wiki and lots of other stuff, but I can't seem to find an answer except that MAYBE that I need a new kernel first??? Okay, let the flaming begin.

You need to flash recovery first, it is the first option in ROM Manager. You can't update a ROM with PG06IMG.zip, nor can you do it in the bootloader. Flash the recovery, wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik cache, system, sd-ext) then flash a ROM.
Did you get this sorted?

No, still having trouble. I have flashed ClockworkMod Recovery (version 5.0.2.0) in the ROM Manager app, but when I 'reboot into recovery' within the app, it goes to the Android System Recovery. I'm also confused about the 'apply sdcard:update.zip' option in ASR...seems like that would update something if the file was set up properly.
I guess I need to search for a tutorial on how ASR and HBOOT work. Sorry to bother you guys with the basics.

Will check it out, thanks! I'm leaving town today, so not sure if I will be able to experiment before I go, but I will not give up!
The only thing I use Rom Manager for is to get the recovery. The way I go into recovery is to turn my shift completely off (do a battery pull to make sure its completely off) then hold the volume down and power buttons at the same time until the bootloader screen comes on. (While there see if it says S-off near the top) then using the volume buttons highlight the recovery option and push the power button. Then when you're there use the volume buttons to navigate through the various fields and hit enter to select. I hope this is helpful to you. Good luck!
Edit: by the way, when you first get to the bootloader screen, it will automaticly do a check showing a few green lines. Thats ok. Just wait until its finnished then go into recovery the way I stated.

Just flash Dread's in bootloader, make sure it is named PG06IMG.zip (that is a zero) and place on the root of your SD and go back into the bootloader and hit update when it tells you to.

I haven't tried Dread's CW-Enhanced yet. I just don't understand why the standard CWM recovery from ROM Manager doesn't work. I'm probably missing something obvious.

Hmm, never mind then, it seemed as if your bootloader was still locked if the recovery wouldnt flash

Yeah, just do what bilgerryan said (make sure that you download the one that says "flash through bootloader" or something along those lines)
Before flashing, download some md5sum tool and make sure it matches the one given on there

Finally got back to this and was able to install and use Dread's CW-Enhanced. So far I have only flashed the Speedy Rooted OTA 2.77.651.8 (bascially 2.3.4 rooted). GB had some features I was wanting, but missing, after rooting back to Froyo.
But before continuing on to other ROMs, I was wondering how you guys handle restoring basic apps and data each time you flash a new ROM. Or, do you only use extra play phones for new ROMs and not your daily user? It would seem that every time you flash, you need to restore SuperUser, Titanium, ROM Manager (ClockworkMod, then probably Dread's enhanced image file), Terminal Emulator, etc. And of course contacts and messaging history and other stuff like that.
So far, after flashing a ROM, I usually download Titanium (or MyBackup) and restore apps and data from backups before continuing. Do you just keep certain APK files on your SD card and install from ADB instead of re-downloading from Google Play Store each time?
I flash ROMs on my dd. Usually when I falsh a new ROM (not a nandroid) I fresh install my apps through the play store. Especially if switching between GB, ICS and JB! Some apps work well if carried over by tb but not all. You'll just have to experiment to see what works with your shift and what doesn't.
Also, the recovery only ever needs to be flashed once
What I used to do is backup my current rom with all my data and settings and then wipe + flash a new rom. If i liked it, then I would move my full box of apps and data to the new rom, but restoring data can go wonky so I always made a backup before doing that too. If i didnt like it, I would either restore my original backup for a bit or keep flashing new roms until I either found one I liked or got tired and restored my backup lol
