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
rooted mt3g cm6-rc3 htcClay 1.3

I'm trying to get the latest cm (4.2.14.1) working on my g1 but after flashing the rom I have no network or gps (I assume because maps errors out on me). I've tried some older roms as well with 4.2.1 everything seems fine, with 4.2.10 going to setting gives me an error, 4.2.12 leaves me with my phone hanging after cyanogen logo. Does anyone know how I can fix this issue?
I'm using cyanogen 1.4 recovery, hard spl and my radio is *.19.26 (sorry I don't know exactly what the radio is)
When in doubt wipe it out... I had the issue of it hanging like that as well & was able to fix it after wiping.
I gave up on cyanogenmod but found sucess with super donut 1.9.2. But I still have a question, What's the developer 1.6 recovery? Do you just flash once then you got it forever? If not why does cyanogen need it but not super donut?

you don't need cyanogen's. You can use amon ra's with cyanogen rom.

Thank you but that isn't the recovery I was refering to I ment "signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip"
The tut I used to setup my phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563679) says to flash it prior to the rom and I was wondering why cm needed it but not super-d.
Also I have apps2sd setup now and was wondering two things about it. After wiping and putting a new rom on will all my apps still available? And my internal storage still seems to be shrinking as I install apps why is that if there being put on the sd card? (Sd secondary is shrinking to so I know they are)
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?

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.
This cyanogen 5.0.6 is driving me crazy no matter what i do it doesn't flash properly i don't know what to do i tried flashing it so many time it doesn't install properly i even tried using this guide aswell but still it would gimme a error. "hxxp://nexusonehacks.net/nexus-one-hacks/step-by-step-guide-on-how-to-install-cyanogen-mod-rom-on-your-nexus-one"
I have flashed modaco's htc sense rom it worked but not properly but this is a stable version it should work i have seen videos at youtube it working smoothly for everyone but y not for me.

have u installed the Google apps addons?
try this:
1. wipe data and everything else
2. go to partition card>fix ext (do this if u partitioned ur sd card)
3. flash cm506
4. flash google addons
or maybe
u dowloaded a wrong cm506 zip file (it happens)
Okay brief background:
Originally stock VFAU supplied Legend, updated to the stock Froyo. Rooted by (roughly) following the steps outlined in the How to root HBoot 1.01 thread and am now happily able to flash roms using ClockworkMod 3.0.0.6 "fake flash" update.zip
Was keen to try out CM7RC2 on this phone so I have downloaded the update and Gapps .zips from the Cyanogenmod wiki page.
Tried multiple times now to flash the CM7 update and the relevent Gapps, always formatting user data / cache / dalvik before hand. After the process, I am always able to boot into CM7 on the device, but it appears the Gapps update hasn't been applied properly / at all. For example - on initial boot, I don't get the google android setup wizard, so no way to link the phone to my gmail account. Gmail app isn't installed, and when I try to launch Market it just goes to a white screen for a second, and then back to the launcher.
I'm wondering if this is related to the fact that the phone is on HBOOT 1.01, and S-ON? or is there another explaination? eg, a specific kernel, or radio that I should be flashing before I try to flash CM7 (nothing is mentioned in the install guide over at CM wiki).
Thanks in advance.
are you shure ou downloaded the right gapps
the one touse is "gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed"

Hey mate, thanks for the quick reply! Just to clarify - are you sure this is the right version of Gapps for CM7 on the Legend?? Looking here under the "Google Apps Version" section it appears that the correct version for all devices running CM7 should be Gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip and that gapps-mdpi is for CM6??
I tried your suggestion nontheless, and with that version of Gapps flashed - I'm now getting a boot-loop of the cyanogen boot animation
I'm on HBOOT 1.01 (Vodafone Legend) and CM7 was the first I tried, though it was back around the nightly build 31. I didn't have any issues and CM7 started up straight away. I realised I was missing all the Google stuff so did a separate flash, maybe you could try this. I'm yet to try the RC version hopefully no issues here...

I have tried flashing the gapps package as a separate flash (after the intial flash to CM7, booting into CM7, then reboot into recovery to flash Gapps), and the result has been the same as when I flash them together.
I had wondered about trying a nightly, but being new to CM roms please forgive my next question. To flash a nightly, do I first have to flash CM7 RC2, then flash the nightly, or can you just flash the nightly by itself, then Gapps over the top??
I'm definitely willing to give it a try at this stage.
Flashing the nightly won't need a prior RC2 flash, its a self contained package so you shouldn't have any problems. Hopefully the Gapps flash works this time.

Thats cool mate - made me recheck myself anyway
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.
