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....

VEGAn-TAB has reached BETA STATUS - We need your help!

Roebeet, Rothnic, and Myself have been hard at work to bring you what we hope will be the killer ROM for our G-Tablets. Now that we have hit BETA status, we are interested in hearing your feedback including issues and feature requests.
The projects git home is here: https://github.com/gojimi/VEGAn-TAB
(here you will find all project code and mods. we are using a free account there and space is limited so ACTUAL RELEASES will happen in the Thread that Roebeet has already started)
Issues and feature requests can be followed and posted here: https://github.com/gojimi/VEGAn-TAB/issues
(please read before posting new issues or features request so we don't fill up with duplicates. you may also vote up the issues you feel are most important and we can concentrate on those areas based on your feedback.)
The wiki for VEGAn-TAB will be here: https://github.com/gojimi/VEGAn-TAB/wiki
(there is nothing there yet.... but as we approach a production stable ROM we may be adding some info here)
Thank you for all your support and patience as we iron out some of the more major issue. (ie. SSL! phew so glad we figured that one out..... such a simple mistake too!)
I am usually buried in CODE or REWORK of current framework that I don't come up for air to check XDA much.... But I do watch the GIT Repo and I will try to make a greater effort to keep an eye on this post.
For questions to issues that you are having but others aren't your answer may still be best answered in Roebeet's post.

The single issue I am having is random factory browser crash, and It is the reason that I have kept the tablet.

Can you guys include a tun/tap module to allow OpenVPN to work?

I can't get the Ad Hoc Tether to work from my rooted Hero phone. I had it working on the Zpad with this fix: http://www.chinadigitalcomm.com/android-a81/a81e-connect-to-ad-hoc-wifi-t1413.html
Any thoughts? Anyone else able to connect to an Ad Hoc Tether?
Edit (Fix) I was using the wrong fix. The fix it to apply the wpa6_adhoc-signed.zip
This was the fix I initially did on the Zpad rom, I just messed up and did the wrong fix...

I had a problem with the sound, sdcard, fc on websites, and changing the soft buttons. It was killer despite those issues. Also rotation of the home screen.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Do you guys still been able to copy the files from laptop to G Tablet running beta? I can't do that. Is there any trick to it or you guys using 2nd SD card?

I had the same issues
I installed the WPA_adhoc-signed.zip and it solved my tethering issues. I tried to find the orginal post with the link to he downlaod but couldn't find it.
I know that there is talk of it in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004&highlight=wpa_adhoc
and this one too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=854682&highlight=wpa_adhoc

The only issue I have so far is with Grooveshark FCing. Sign up and tutorial screens work fine but the actual interface never loads. Otherwise, great work on this. Its very responsive and other than the GS FCs I have no FCs.

Thank you guys for your hard work.

Wanted to answer a few of the questions. If I forget you I apologize.
OPENVPN support- we'll look into that feature for the future. (MAY not make it into betas)
wpa_supplicant issues.ie adhoc tether. This is an oversight. Should be in next beta
Most of the sound and stock browser FCS have been fixed(Ssl now works)
SD card issues. We are aware and they are all potentially related to a hack we implemented to get external sd support working. This issue includes the internal SD disappearance when connected to pc via usb. This is my PRIMARY focus right now.
Again thank you all for your patience and feedback.

Is there a way to change the launch applications along the bottom? Even if it's a file to modify.

Tmk, it's not fixable. It seems to be hardcoded, silly as that may sound.

I plan on making a supplement or maybe a full image with the same supplicant binary in TnT Lite, plus that updated Gallery and a clean hosts file.
Working on TnT Lite 2.3.0 primarily at the moment, however. I guess I need two devices!

Another random question. .. I am on Tina lite 2.2 and find it to be super stable and flexible. I am concerned about what will happen when the battery gets to low : )
What happens with this rom when the charge runs out?

With b3 I find that I have to clear devoric cache after each shutdown or I lose the ability to run certain apps. Any suggestions?

I've only had battery die once, on TnT Lite. Didn't seem to cause any issues, just needed to recharge.

Can Not build VEGAn-TAB from source ???
I tried building the source from
VEGAn-TAB git hub
But it seem that there are missing. When I ran
repo init -u < the url submited in this thread for the git> ( it does not allow me to add urls)
I received the following error
fatal: manifest 'default.xml' not available
fatal: manifest default.xml not found
Is it possible to build VEGAn-TAB from source? If it is can you please let me know how?
Thanks

what do i have with VEGAn Beta4??
the only issues i have with this rom is with sdcard2 or the microSD card, only when i put jpeg files in it and i open the gallery to load them and when i do a reboot all the pictures are gone from the microSD card, but just the pictures i can open the music player and play all songs and reboot and they still in there the issue is only for me with image files. After i update the kernel with the patch that has been post on the vegan beta4 topic i think this is almost perfect....i hope you can fix the files getting erased on the microSD card.....but after all you guys are doing and amazing job with all the ROMS you have made....i'm very gratefull for all the work you have done, you make love more this tablet....thanks a lot!

Look and make sure there is NOT a .nomedia file in your picture folders, that will prevent them from showing.
Sent from my SGH-T959

the problem is not the files are not shown on the gallery, the problem is that the pictures are all deleted after i open the gallery and makes the pictures appear in it, so when i reboot the tablet all my pictures get deleted, even if a browse the microsd card with my computer and not in the tablet...all the files are gone!....

NEEDS TESTING: Flash Lite (desktop 9.1) for Optimus One

Ok the installation is very complicated (and probably will not work in a 2.2 phone but let's test anyway)
Do NOT try this if you're not experienced enough, if this works somebody else might prepare an easier update.zip file. I am not responsible for anything, this might set your phone into a bootloop, in that case you have to be smart enough to be able to remove the libs and apks you installed.
Download flashupdate.zip from the attachments.
Copy the folders from the zip file to your OO:s /system directory.
Then take the FlashPlugin.apk file from the zip file and place it onto your sd card.
Reboot your phone
Install the FlashPlayer.apk from the sd card, select replace application.
(You need to have a checkmark in install from unknown sources in the settings)
Reboot your phone.
The flash lite should be working in the default android browser (no opera),
check from the browser settings if plugins are enabled, try this site:
w ww .whatismyflash.co m
Write here what version number the site reports, if any.
These libraries were taken from the Samsung i5800, which has an armv6 processor and launched with Android 2.1, this is not dependant on htc frameworks like the flash lite on the legend and hero.

(and probably will not work in a 2.2 phone but let's test anyway)

forgive me for asking, but how come this is inside a Froyo discussion?

I tried this method a long time ago and it didn't work. maybe it only works with the 2.1 browser.

I said probably, i just wanted to test the possibility, I don't own an optimus so i had no idea if it would work. It seems this is not possible, thanks for the replies.

Test with Optimus One with Prime v2.
Installer ok, browser don't crash but drill no flash...

I bet you also have to tell the browser that flash lite exists. IMO flash lite just sits there waiting to be called to work.

Actually it does. If you don't believe me, install Adobe Flash 10.1. Every time you visit a site containing flash the browser will exit (NOT force close).
This works similarly.

I saw someone say on the dev category that flash works with dolphin hd. Check the thread where they're talking about gingerbread

maybe flash works in gingerbread with dolphin i can prove that flash dosent work on dolphin on 2.2
but what i can say is that i can install flash on cm7 but it dosent work on the browser i did try alot flash movies but no one worked.

I tried CM7 too but I can't really test flash since I can't seem to get an IP address from our router, and the network I'm on does not have 3G or even GPRS
As soon as the dhcp issue is resolved, I'll test it out and report.

The only way to install flash on optimus one now is by installing the Eclair browser. anyone can do this? or port Eclair to our phones. Hahaha.

isn' that kinda like going backwards?

yes but it's good in a way that we get flash lite 3.1

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-flash-10-1-on-android-2-1-eclair-devices/
that maybe a solution for our phone to install 10.1 flash on our phone

I'm going to try again with mik_os' CM7 port. I've been reading reports of flash working If it doesn't, I'm flashing back to my old ROM until GPS is fixed

nope flash dosent work on gingerbread.
i did try it now for a multipletimes.

I've found something on the market called "MobileFlash". However, I don't think it installs a plugin on the browser. Go check it out

[Q] Galaxy Tab 10.1, CM10 4.1.2 Jelly Bean Rom, A1 Kernel

I think the CM10 Jellybean rom 4.1.2. is stable enough for daily use. Packed with A1 Kernel 1.7.4b build pushes the tab's performance more, due to the GPU overclocking . The issue i found so far is that the MTP does not work, even when the MTP setting is clicked, updating the drivers, uninstalling the device from device manager, and installing again. When re-flahsed using the default CM10 4.1.2 Beta4, MTP is working fine again.
Anyone has any fix for this ?

Hi There, thank you for your time in replying. Appreciate that. I did check the control panel , printers sounds setting, but all i can see is the Samsung Android Device (modem) nothing else. There are no undefined hardware in my control panel.
I do transfer right now file to and from my 10.1 through Wifi Explorer Pro. A bit slow, but it works.
Probably, i will flash a CM10 kernel, or revert back to the CM10 Beta 4 and wait for A1 Kernel probably to notice this issue.

Issue with Play Store - Jelly Bean ROM
Hi
First off, I flashed my GTP7500 Galaxy Tab 10.1 with the new JB ROM after having had issues with getting applications to update/download from Play Store. I tried everything before flashing, from deleting and re-adding my back-up account, to flushing the app cache and downgrading the Play Store app to an earlier version. Nothing worked. Then when I flashed the new JB ROM, I accidently used the WiFi-only version. Everything worked fine, I just didn't have 3G. So I went back to the drawing board and flashed the correct version, using TWRP's version. Now, I am back to square one with Play Store not downloading/updating any apps. The progress bar just scrolls, and then eventually times out. My only question is, why would it work without any hassles in the Wifi-ONLY version, but not in both the official release of ICS and un-official JB? Could someone please help me with this, as I have absolutely no more answers left
Thanx

Gallery issue
I have an issue, the gallery cant detect pics that were moved using root explorer.
So this is what happened:
1. downloaded some images via browser (all downloaded images are in download folder in root)
2. grouped all of them in a folder via root explorer (all downloaded images are in download/foldername
3. opened the gallery, it cannot find that folder, and shows a album called "download" with the pictures except they are all blank(black icons).
Can anyone verify this and if anyone has a fix for this pls tell me thx.
I wanted to use multilive wallpaper so i need downloaded pics grouped for separate homescreens... not using gallery will cause slow downs...

Thank you! <3
ps i have another phone where file transfer works just fine

i guess its worth mentioning that this started after a software update, and right after that they released another one hopping they will fix it but NO :crying:

I was in your situation. I fixed that by install dex on my pc. I don't know if it will help but I think it's worth a try.
