Hey All,
First I want to apologize if this isn't the place for this thread or if this has been brought up before.
Now onto what I came here for. I have a myTouch 3G phone (the one without the jack) and I have rooted my phone a couple of months ago. The rooting process went fine and currently I'm running the CyanongenMod 4.2.15.1 rom on my phone. It's running fine as it should be. Now my dilemma is when I tried to update to CM 5.0.7 or 5.0.8. At first when I flashed the rom, I thought everything was fine during the setup process but then when it came to using any Google apps, none of them seem to work with the exception of GTalk and Google Maps. I've tried the troubleshooting guide where it says to do the fix_permissions but that didn't work at all. After about 3 days of trial and error, I finally admitted defeat and flashed back to CM 4.2.15.1. I also came to the conclusion that my phone will only take 1.5 & 1.6 roms whereas any roms 2.0 and above will not work correctly. I even tried to flash CM 6.0 RC1 and it got stuck at the green boot screen.
My question is there something wrong with my phone or am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else ran into this problem? Please let me know because I would love to have the 2.0 and above roms on my phone.
Thanks in advance
Did you do a full wipe and then upgrade?
Yes I did a complete wipe, even did the command that you do in fastboot
u gotta install the google pack i think....for that u will find it in cyanogen forums
If you mean by installing the gapps after flashing the rom, I've done that already. Also I've even reflashed the gapps again just to make sure and I also tried the fix_permissions and that didn't work either.
I also saw that the browser was acting funny too (not sure if that's part of gapps)

Hello,
In your sign, you're using an old rom with the old method of app2sd (on /system/sdcard/), newer rom uses /sd-ext/ but 1.6.2 recovery is not compatible with the new method.
Not sure but try to update your recovery with 1.7.0.
Good luck, Scargoll.
scargoll, i failed to mention that I'm already using Amon Ra's 1.7G recovery image. I need to update my sig (my bad). also as i stated before, i tried upgrading to CM 5.0.8 and running into issues, that's why i'm still running CM 4.2.15.1
Yup. Wrong section. I'll move to General when I get back home.

Are those what you tried?
jeff, if i'm correct the FRF91 Google Addon is for the CM 6.0 RC1 rom and i don't have a MyTouch 3G 1.2 32A phone to be using the EBI1 port.
Well, since you say so, your phone is just jacked.
Have you tried reflashing the whole ROM and GAPPS again? See if a different version of cyanogenmod works for you.

appledroid, i've tried relashing both CM 5.0.7 and CM 5.0.8 roms gapps. the roms flashes fine but when it comes to using the gapps (with the exception of GTalk & Maps), they either close without a warning or i get a app loop (GMail does that most before it finally closes without warning)
sounds to like your running out of space on a partition while flashing. try fireat's mtd partition hack and see if it works for u.
flash the 1.1 zip
flash cm6
flash gapps
flash 1.2 zip
and then reboot

hey chris,
running out of space on a partition - are you talking about the space on the phone or on the SD Card? if it's the SD Card, not sure how that's possible when I have 4GB card (also it's not partitioned as of now but before I did have it partitioned)
if i follow this route, do i need to flash CM 6 or can I flash CM 5.0.8?
also where can i find the 1.1 and 1.2 zip files?
in any case, i'll try both to see what's up
um does anyone know what chris is talking about?
c'mon....anyone?
hey im not to sure why u cant switch to the latest cm roms. cause mine is doing fine on every updates.
i use clockworkmod recovery
try redownloading the rom. while downloading, watch ur downloading progress bar, makesure u have good internet connection. do not let the data connection change speed( switching from 3g to e or g) do not let phone switch from portrait to landscape.
if any of the above does happen you will have to cancel current download then redownload.
try to download cm6 rc3 - its 2.2 and it have lots of goodies. gapps are also preinstall
well i had this problem too... i was stuck on green screen... setup abort... gapps was acting up... so i did the above and everything is fine...
i hope this works for
rooted mt3g 32b cm6-rc3 htcClay 1.3
forgot to mention... since u have this problem, i recommend a full wipe... i dont kno if it is ok to flash without wipe from cm4 to cm5 or 6... flashing rom over another rom is wat i normally do... cause i hate reinstalling apps

First of all, I'm sorry if there is a thread similar to this, or with the same purpose. I'm opening this thread because I've tried almost every mod for LG GT540 and I don't know what to use anymore...
Been a long Cyanogen mod user, I've now changed to Super Fast Froyo and I find it really as it says SUPER FAST.
What I'm asking you is, if you can tell me what is the best mod for playing games the phone wasn't designed for (any 3D game), surfing (without force closes), and using the phone as a PHONE (calls, messages - without force closes)
I've tried OpenSwift (don't know what version) about 3 months ago.. and I was able to play games, but in that time the mod wasn't stable...
Also, Cyanogen 7 (2.3.3) and I wasn't able to play games.. though the phone worked smooth, with some force closes and few restarts..
I've searched lots of forums, but everywhere there are persons saying this is better than that and vise versa..
That's normal yea.. but got tired of that, and decided to open a thread here..
About the games not playing.. well I maybe am a beginner.. but I've tried everything I could..
Any help appreciated ..
Thanks.
Stay on a custom 2.1 rom it will solve all ur problems..
Use swap for speed.
Link sd for unlimited storage space.
Nothing is as stable as 2.1 version.

I agree with sanmit that everything works in 2.1 and for games is good. So you should stay in one of the many good custom versions out there. And check the other posts until devs cook something worth it to change again. Now mur4ik has released version 2.0. So will see how it goes and inform

Thanks for replying!
I've decided to go with Elegance Swift 2.1, but I have a problem now... I can't flash it with Clockwork Recovery... it says "installation aborted"
I have wiped user data, phone, cache.. everything but it just doesn't work.. Is there a way to do this with fastboot? That's lots easier.. but I see a file called "data.img" here and don't know how to write that on phone
Thanks.
buya new phone?
just sayin, i dont think the gt540 is the best one for gaming. as its not capacitive screen. so you cant play mario or something smooth. but yeah as said above the stock 2.1 is the best. as i hav the SwiftDroid milestone1 V2.0 android 2.3.3 the battery dies too quick to play many games.
I don't want new phone lol
by the way... I found out how to install via Recovery.. but now my phone won't boot.. it's stuck on LG LOGO...
I can't post in developers threads.. and I can only ask here..
hi mate you need to flash both the recovery image and the boot image that should get your phone working again

Well.. I flashed clockwork recovery (if that's what you meen) and using CR i used the option restore to actually install the Elegance Swift 2.1 mod
do i have to flash the boot image after i did this with fastboot or?
EDIT
Did use fastboot for boot.img, still the same problem...
if you flashed via recovery then the boot.img should have been included in the backup so in what i will do is download the rom your tring to use and make a fresh backup and upload it for you
link me to the thread you downloaded the rom from

this is what I used (with Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.5 - i know that there is newer)
ok give me half an hour and ill get you a working version of this
uploading now for you i have included the easy flash tool
download this and put your phone in fastboot mode then run the start me.bat in the zip folder hopefully that should work

Thanks for the effort .. but I'm getting FAILED (data transfer failure (Too many links))
when trying to send system.img to phone
EDIT
I'm using XP SP3, does that changes anything? :\
EDIT 2
Can you just tell me how to do this with Clockwork?
to do it via recovery copy the zip file you and me downloaded to to the root of your sd card then go into recovery and select install update zip then select choose update zip and then select the zip file you copied to the root of the sd card

It worked, finally!
Thanks a lot for you time and help
no problem anytime
I think that CM7 is a lot better than 2.1 in many terms. (battery is worse, but it still lasts 2 days)
Use the stock 2.1 thats the best for your wishs...
Its the most useful...
i try everything but always back to stock or soft mod 2.1
Hi Friends
I have been facing an issues with ClockworkMod Recovery since last night. Its been two or three days I have been flashing like mad man . Flashed many different ROMs and when I went to try another one it was not showing ROM in the root of SD card. I formated the card and tried again but no gain.
I flashed another recovery version but still the same problem.
Now it shows some ROM zip files and it does not show other. Yesterday I tried Coredroid and it did work then I installed hyperdroid and now again I want to install coredroid but its not showing though hyperdroid is visible.
What could be the problem and how to solve this.
Please guide.
Thanks

2. when the phone starts immedately keep lower vol key pressed..load the rom there itself after connecting usb.
3. then (sing step 2 flash hspl 2.08 not 2.08.00)
3. then flash magldr v 1.13 rom update (again using step 2)
4.then flash latest cwm usin "5 USB Flasher" in the magldr v1.13 menu
5. now after reboot goto ad recovery(this will load cwm)
6. in cwm go into mounts and storage and mount usb mass storage

i have this same problem on my LG optimus 2x
thx
it won't work when you use the steps above cause this is the guide to install android on a winmo device. just try installing cwm again.
Hello, I recently have bought gt540. Everything was fine, but then I thought about upgrading android. I upgraded it and the problems started. With Andriod 2.1 my started to have various programs' crashes, so I installed france orange rom v20c for fastboot, flashed recovery and etc. Now the thing is my phone has crashes on custom roms too. even on Utopia and full froyo rom by MikeGapinski. Sometimes my phone don't even boot up at all, then ai took of the battery and turn it on once again. Sometimes when it boots up there is no crashes but there s some apps , too. For example sometimes market dissapperas. What can cause this problem? I know it can be because of kernel. I want to hear possible ways to solve this problem. Maybe it would help if I install stock 1.6 rom via KDZ updater and then install custom rom? And one more thing it won't boot up with v20c (or v20b) it stucks at android screen.
Thank you all in advance.
You cant go back to 1.6 now.....don't try to you will brick your cell.

I turned phone i booted up, everything looks works, expect, the market sometimes crashes ( because it loads up very slowly) and other thing programs won't install i tried Angry birds, and some other games ( which don't require for multi-touch) an i tried install some apps (quick settings, google maps) and they won't install,too. Although programs and games were downloaded successfully. Any ideas? After unsuccessful installing it says that package is wrong.

did you do a factory reset ?
After factory I got to the starting point, it hardly boot ups, if boot ups there are crashes. Could this be caused by that my phone as I suspect was not from baltic region and i installed update for Lithuania's location?
hmm that does no matter i live in Asia and i used the European version
I knew that it doesn't matter (on lg p500) but I thought:'Maybe there is a difference on gt540' So what could it be? Could this be because of bad fastboot.exe? I really don't know if the fastboot.exe witch i have is good ( it does the job, but maybe there are bugs in it)
I tried install Synergy rom (for old recovery) it started fine but it says it can't find xbin/cksum, this is the only rom which installs from recovery normally ( others jus t takes 5s... this one is copying files normally) So can anyone provide me rom for old recovery ? or maybe new fastboot.exe would be fine, too.
P.S.now i'm using CWM recovery v2.5.1.8

You can install any rom with this recovery....

But not all of roms I've tried installed correctly, some of them installs in 5-10s, others won't install, because there is some kind of error and how i end up with recovery saying : aborted.
you can try to flash 2.1 europian+fastboot and then to reflash mur4iks 2.3 but dont blame me if u brick phone :O this is just sugestion..

It didn't work. I installed v20c france (orange) it seems to work, but sometimes it could be not stable (for example crash or rebooting). Maybe this related to cpu? Maybe it is overheating or smoething?
I think its not a problem with the cpu. The cpu runs with stock configs.
Try to flash the 2.1 + fastboot and then flash a 2.3 rom.

I mananged to install swift droid 2.3 from 2.1 (stock france orange rom) And there are some problems. I go to the market pick up game, it starts downloading it, after it finishes downloading, I get error :'downlaoding was unsuccessful, please try again'. I somehow installed Ninja chicken, and after all tuts in the game, you should be transferred and play, but that doesn't happen, I get that game turned off by itself. So what the problem? Is it really not cpu? Maybe something with cache?
hmmm ok er wipe data cache and try again?
I'm getting error abou downlaoding progrms... dunno why. Does my phone really don't support angry birds ?
EDIT: I am able to paly ninja chicken. Mostly this error is on the apps whick are larger than 8MB or something.

what version is cwm?
greetz
I don't even know where I should begin.
Ever since my first android (s3) i wanted to install CM on it, tried a few times but failed.
Now I'm a gt i9505 owner ( i sure do think that is my model, it says so in phone info atleast ).
Been rooting in numberous of times, been flashing cwm numberous of times, been trying to install different versions of CM to it.
No sucess at all, just failing all the time and I have to factory reset my phone.
So this is more like a two part question.
How in the hell do i get my phone to run CM?
And next thing. I had to stock install it via odin many times too. got everything back the first few times but the two last time I install stockrom, i get no google apps at all.
Tried to download a google play apk, two different version , still no sucess..
Is there anyone here that can help me ?
Much appreciated.
Download XXUBMH1 and follow this guide to install official stock ROM, after that install PhilZ Touch recovery and then follow this guide to install CM 10.2
