Kernel Panic (OS X) upon plugging in G1

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....

Installed new Radio and SPL fine. Now on to Hero!

Was originally running ION on my G1 with the new radio but HardSPL. Decided that I love Rosie too much and made the jump and upgraded my SPL. Got hold of another sd and its working good. Whole thing took 3 mins. Now it reads :
DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA10000)
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
Apr 20 2009, 15:30:43
Hope its good. Now, I am trying to partition my SD but its all but impossible. I tried Paragon. It keeps saying I got some I/O error. I tried Windows built-in format (Right Click, Format) and my card mysteriously unmounts itself. I tried SDSPLIT and I got some error saying I dont have SDSPLIT so I tried to download SDSPLIT again but it say I already got it installed. Figured out it was coz I am not using a JF build. I tried this on 2 cards and both unmounts itself or have some IO error with Paragon. I really would like Rosie. Can anyone help please.

noooooob
Are there any noob guides explaining how to get from a haykuro cupcake rom without app2sd to hero?

Apps2SD2 is your friend, find it.. use it...
In future try to post questions in the Dream subforum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=447

wow if only you could have searched. i personally have stated many times "if all else fails use linux" you should be using linux anyway if you really wanna be a computer nerd. download linux live CD(go with ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04) it will most likely be a .iso file or you can grab a torrent for the .iso and it will download a little faster. either way you can burn the .iso to a DVD shut down your computer and boot from the CD drive(with the ubuntu cd in there) then when it boot choose language and boot without changing any settings on your computer. then you can use the partition editor to format your card. it is located under SYSTEM>ADMINISTRATION>PARTITION EDITOR if it still doesn't work then hacking just isn't for you and you should unroot your phone and sell it to the lowest bidder on ebay

I already tried that. It says done and asked me to reboot. I rebooted and ran adb shell to check if the partition was successful. It wasn't. But it did say mine was fat16 and not fat32 so gonna try to format it to fat32 first.

nothing will install on your computer unless you tell it to. it will run fine off the DVD, ubuntu has a very great GUI and i use it daily and have never had a problem.
i also would like to suggest that you partition your harddrive on your computer(linux allows you to resize the windows partition without hurting it) and install ubuntu you should use at least 20GB as linux will grow on you and you will want to install applications

[Android] Tattoo and new rootfs

Okay, I finally cleaned up what I've been working on the past few weeks
New sqsh with tattoo senseui!
so this is senseui from the tattoo, so it runs at native resolution 240x320. I have not tested it at *any* other resolution.
I haven't done a lot of testing so I can't guarantee everything works... ie I think that bluetooth might be broken? who knows... other folks please post your experiences!
Please note: I *have* seen the whole thing crash due to WifiService dying on my vogue once... and I've also seen a hard lockup on the polaris once... not sure why or workaround, but it doesn't seem to be commonplace.
I use the tattoo.user.conf and I *don't* use rosie, and it runs nice and speedy... YMMV.
New rootfs that cleans up a *lot* of little things... you can now use the volume-down installer to *update* your nand partitions and back up your nand data! (you first have to have a the nand flash complete before this will work, and you need to use the rootfstonand with the updated rootfs)
Maybe I'll post some screenshots? who knows...
Everything is HERE
EDIT: Forgot the most important part... Credits!
This build is almost entirely from the Belgian HTC Click image posted somewhere out there. Lots of time was spent getting the RIL to talk to the phone application without crashes, but it seems somewhat stable now.
At my disposal I had donut and tattoo builds from enatefox, zenulator, plemen, and maybe a couple others.
Some bits needed to be swapped out to work, and that took the bulk of my time... oh well
I'll also give some creds to the folks over in kaiserland, but I'm not sure who (sorry).

Thanks muchly! Been beating my brains out trying to dyi a port of Tattoo and you've done all the hard work. Made my day, now I can go to sleep....

Trying this out tomorrow. I'll write about anything I see. Nice job.

Thanks Vilord
I'm a big fan of tattoo native resolution senseui.
testing.

i wish i could put it on nand, but i'm using a NIKE and the NBH is for vogue...
NICE JOB VILORD!

Hi,.
Thanks vilord, this is the best build with sense that i have tried.
I have the mount system error the first time i try to boot it, the second time it boot without problem.
Im wrting this from this build

arleybarros: what is the state of android on NIKE at this point? Do you still have no vibrate?
all: I'm still not 100% sure why the installer's choking, but I'll poke it when I get home (I still need to partition the SD on my POLA200, so I should be able to see exactly what you see when I do it)

Sigh, more user freindly
I really don't mean to sound a negative note, your hard work , along with the other devs is sooo appreciated and admired. But for the many newbies that are out here, drooling other the new toys you guys are providing, I would really like to see complete bundles, which are updated as needed, with maybe a version number assigned to each updated build. Because of the modular nature of the OS, it is far to easy to to mismatch components resulting is a royal mess, and a real bad taste for potential users.
Or am I just full of it?

no you're completely right.
Once I get things ironed out with the installer, and after I've gotten some more feedback, I'll put it together with two zip downloads, one for NAND installation and one for haret/SD installation.

Since the vibration was disabled (2009-09-22) all the builds works almost like vogue, except for:
Camera: never worked, maybe because the drivers are diferent or because nike camera max resolutuion is 2MP (force close)
Bluetooth: never worked, maybe drivers
Vibration: disabled
everythig else works perfect.

I am really looking forward to this, but get the same result as lauyanyameric on my Kaiser, afterwards I am dropped to shell .... Anything I can do to help debug?
Tried it without partition, and I get data error and it created a 34 mb data.img.
Tried with a blank data.img (no partitions) and I was able to boot!
Grateful for your work! Thanks.

try formating your sd card again...

So far, so great.
Running via Haret and this is working superbly. Everything that should be working, is working.
So far have tested audio, data, GPS, camera (via Camera Pro), and apps such as Voice Search, Exchange Sync, Market and they all work and are quite responsive.
Noticed a few rosie reloads after using memory intensive apps, so I added a 32mb swap in the conf file. So far no more rosie reloads.
Also, the USB to PC app doesn't appear to like my work machine. Not sure if this is an issue with the desktop or the app.
Will be flashing to NAND after a bit more testing.
Thanks again Jesse!
Cheers
Nick

First off thanks for all the hard work you and others have done bringing android to the vogue. I have donut running off of nand right now and love it but am wanting to try this build but have no idea how to reflash it on there. i have tried searching and searching but i havent found a good answer on how to do it.

Thank you I think doing this will add a layer of usability to the releases, and gain a greater community of users as a result. Personally I would rather have releases further apart in time with this kind of thing rather than a rush to try the newest toy.

how do you update the radio rom??

Hi Folks.
Just been issued heros at work and wish to update the radio rom...How is this accomplished??
regards
Lohtse

Firstly it needs to have a recovery image installed I recommend Amon-Ra v 1.6.2.
Secondly you need to find the radio rom you wish to flash and put it onto the root of you phones sd card.
Thirdly enter the recovery image you have installed by holding power and home button from the phone being off.
Then select the radio.zip to flash.
Everything I have said here can easily be found how to do via searching this forum or its wiki.
also www.theunlockr.com will help with installing the recovery image.

First you will need to install the custom recovery console if you haven't done so already.
Then download your updated radio, put it on your SD, load into the recovery, then apply update. DONE!
If that is too brief,... let me know,...
EDIT... Ooops,... too late.

way to complicated...
Too much to do and can screw up..... At least with winmo and symbian was a few clicks...
hmmmmm think will ditch android.....

really? its not complicated at all when you know what your doing. In fact I can say its a damn sight easier (and safer) than modifying blackberry roms and from what I hear also Windows Mobile.

I came from wimo to android, and as it is said, it's quite hard to catch the thing at the beginning, but after everything seems easier than in wimo !! and more reliable... you have almost no chance to brick your hero after you installed the recovery boot.
radio : boot in recovery then select the good option.
rom : nandroid backup / install whatever rom you want / if you don't like it go for nandroid restore ( all you need is two Sd card.. the good one and the one for the "tests" ).... etc....
But at the beginning i was totally out but with a little time.. reading some posts (here and on the web) ... one day everything was more clear !

Its not hard at all. You can have the recovery installed and the radio updated in 5 minutes.
For step by step instructions follow the "Installing a recovery image" section in BTDAG's guide linked in my signature.
Then further down the same post, in the second yellow box there are instructions on "Updating your Radio".

Guys, the OP said he was issued the Hero at work, then two hours later said he was going to ditch Android... so what then, he's quitting his job? Troll alert. Don't feed the troll.

As to troll comment(yes offence has been caused)....hmmmmm.... Am going back to the trusty Kaiser... WE DON'T HAVE TO USE THE HERO.... We live in free(ish) world.. And the Phones are issued as an update to our old duty phones... Also I'm not the only one who uses them that feels the same.
Now to updating being easy. Gulp I must be eeer dum!!! Du hu Du HU must be the TROLL in me!
I have tried to install recovery image thing and well just cant get it to work... And now I find I have to root the hero too so things will install to sd card!!!! WTF this should all be standard like winmo and symbian etc...
I have been using smart phones since the Ericsson r380 and so far Android has failed to impress to the degree I am beginning to hate it....
Am far to used to having simply andfull access to everything..
Android is a HUGE learning curve that I suspect I may not have the patience for..
regards The TROLL sorry I mean Lohtse

Now I have finally managed to get recovery image on and updated the radio...Being called a troll did it !!!!!!.....LOL
My final questions are this how do I root so I can install to sd card(just point me in the right direction) And do I have to unlock Phone to any network to have custom roms on..

Wahey!!!! Good job man.
Ok,... So now you have the recovery image all you need to do is pick a custom ROM. Personally, I highly recommend MCR3.2 (link in signature at botom). It is an Android 1.5 ROM but is stable and fast, what more could you want for a work phone.This ROM is rooted and has apps2SD enabled. Once you have installed the ROM you will need to remember to create an ext2 partition on the SD card (easily done through the recovery). Then you are set to go!!!!

You're welcome And what ddotpatel said. MCR is fast & clean. By installing a custom recovery you've already done the only tricky bit.

Yep installed 3.2 from modocca. seems nice but how do you know if the apps are installing to sdcard???? I'm not sure they are lol..

You need to create an ext2 partition on your SD card through the recovery again. I cant remember the exact wording but something like "create ext2 + fat" or something along those lines.
As far as I know, once that has been done all apps will install to SD.
Someone with more knowhow than me correct me if I am wrong?... CAULI?,... LENNY?

Can someone who knows please answer this question:
Are you 100% sure that flashing the Radio ROM does not affect the phone RF Calibration ?
Thanks!

Yup, certainly as far as MCR is concerned. On the first reboot it will move all files from /data/app to /system/sd/app (& similarly for app-private) Nb /sysytem/sd is the mount point for the ext2 partition. All it does is move the files over & then replaces the /data/app (& app-private) directory with a symlink to the new location. That way future installs, updates etc all automatically go to the new location.
You can always check yourself with a terminal emulator & the command ls -l, or using a file manager like Root Explorer, if you're curious. Some people think it's not working because they see available space in internal flash drop as apps are installed, but that's because app data & the dalvik cache remain on internal flash, principally aiui for reasons of access speed. The saving you make just from shifting the apks to sd is more than enough for most people it seems.

what is rf calibration?

What is radio rom used for by phone?

kendong2 said:

A set of tables usually stored in NVRAM that takes into account the slight differences in the components used to build your phone. Every single phone is calibrated during manufacturing.
If the calibration is erased, it will look like it works but you can have all sort of problems from poor battery life to random drop from the network or poor sensibility (not to mention the higher than expected radio levels you could be emitting right next to your brain )

? Windows 10 on a WinBook TW800

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.

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.
