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.

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
Ok Fellas! just got my phone last night, rooted it installed the stock froyo JK4.
I come from htc desire so my recovery was bit different installed rom manager & got cloworkmod 2.5.1.2.
Downloaded a rom on phone, rebooted into recovery, but this recovery has purplish text instead of green & there is no install from SD. I cant think of any thing at the moment can some one please help, I wanna install some other rom, other than the stock froyo. PLEASE HELP.
You need to install clockwork revory if you go to the rom manager application there will be an option to flash clock recovery right at the top when you open the application hope this claers things up
yep i did sir, but still there is no option to install from sd, it only allows me to install as update.
from teh rom manager im selecting Galaxy S I9000 for clockwork recovery and it successfully downloads and when i press reboot into recovery its still takes me to the purple screen....i think this means that im not able to get into clockwork recovery any help.??
you have to select 'install update.zip' the first time, this will install clockworkmod and then you can proceed.
The problem is your using 3e recovery and cwm will not work with 3e.
To get 2e recovery you will have to use odin and flash a kernel that has 2e recovery, I suggest hardcores kernal as it comes with cwm already , from there you can install what ever custom rom you want using.the update.zip or installing zip from sd.

the best way to get clockwork working on i9000m (personally i believe)
is to flash the kernel for Speedmod... you should see it in development forum... just flash that kernel with odin
and your recovery will work fine

Hey man thanks alot, do you mind pasting a link here. If you kindly can please and thanks again.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
There are a few things i could suggest.
1. Keep your flashing to a minimum if you have the i9000m. There is a high probability that your phone's memory card is defective and you'll ruin it by accessing it more often. Froyo broke lots of bell phones, and being a rom junky means more flash activity. I am on my second phone, but some people are up to their fifth. Flash a good stable rom and dont go too crazy flashing after that
2. download ODIN, and most 3rd party kernels have 2e i think (http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-download-speedmod.html) - pretty sure speedmod does. voodoo also does, all kernels can be found in the dev section easily
Just make sure you download the ODIN version of the kernel and not the CWM file, because since you dont have CWM already, you'll not be able to use it.
There is a problem with USB mounting your sd cards on your pc without patching, since you are running a stock 2.2, so you would need the patch unless you go to a 2.2.1 rom
3. 2.2.1 runs nicer than 2.2, but i havent flashed to a JPY because i am paranoid about my second i9000m dying before i get a backup phone . You may want to flash a jpy mod (like doc rambone's, or darky's), but if you have battery life problems flash a different modem, like the JK4 modem used in bell's latest official rom

You can find All Versions of Clockwork Mod Recoveries in ROM Manager. So if you having any problems with old Roms you can use CWM 2.5.
CWM 3 doesn't support update-script, it requires update-binary and updater-script. So there are many mods and themes available which will not work with CWM 3.0. If you know how to convert them into flashable Zips then you will be able to use it. But anyway you can always revert back to CWM 2.5.
Does nandroid backups made with CWM 2.5 work with this new version?
Restoring backups of 2.2 roms doesn't work for me. Only way I can get a 2.2 rom to boot is if I flash a fresh zip

Just use CWM 2.5 to restore backup of 2.2 Roms. It should be working fine, I tried on my DHD and I don't have any issues.
Awesome! Makes things easier when I want to flash CM7.
I was so glad to see this. I had the non-final version installed and it meant if I wanted to go back to Sense I had flash the 2.5.1.3 recovery first. Now with this being on the ROM manager I flashed the 2.5.1.3 then recovered Sense, flashed v3 recovery and backed up Sense. With that done I can go between it and CM7 or any other ROMs that allow far more easily.

True.. Makes my life more easier...
It would have beign nice if I knew this stuff about v3 yesterday...when I couldn't get back any recovery, and I was beginning to believe that is something wrong.with my SD card. But I don,t understand ,why, if is a NEW (and supposedly a better version) doesn't, support the back up made with v2.5 (I read about the .bin, and .zip file in a.upper post, but It's a little to technically for me and I dont understand how this will help me if I use CM7 and ruu 2.3).
And the question is, will v3 recover the backup made with v3 of my sense Rom,because I don,t wanna try again and if it.doesn't,t work ,I will wake up my self again in the orange menu of v3 and then I have to flash again a Rom, downgrade from Rom manager to v2.5 and restore an older backup
Neat!
CM7 official release is probably not to far away then!
Thanks...!
Argh, really, is it so hard to check for the fs during backup, and then restore it using the noted fs? Why the stupid split for ext3 on 2.5 and ext4 on 3 ? Especially since 3 has no problem reading ext3.

Obviously Koush feels it is, don't forget CWM is open source, if you feel the check of file system and appropriate restore / backup is a minor issue submit a patch implementing it for review and I am sure Koush will accept it with pleasure.
re flashed today everything is nice. Except one backup from older CWM is not recognized.
Thanks for the heads-up

So is there a way to get a 600mhz step in the kernal for bonsai 4.0 last i heard he was going t put it in back in 3.0.1 but still not there. Or is there an easy way to included it in the kernal page file or something that set cpu uses? Also is there a way to get the voodoo color fix or a tweak that works that will make the brightness lower at the lowest setting for 4.0 becase the brightness on this screen is way to brght at night time. I used to have a tweak like this in syndicate rom for 2.1 it was great. Any info would be great thanks guys.

I installed bonsai 4.0.0.1 and it flashed fine, then it tried to restart and got stuck at the samsung boot screen, would not go past that.
So I battery pulled and tried to install another rom (verion 4) and it had an error in CW installing,
Then I tried installing a rom I have used before (epic experience) and CW would not install that one either.
So I used Odin to go back to stock everything and then unlocked it and now I am on a stock rom rooted.
Why do you think it is hanging there? I am scared to flash again as I think it will do the same? But if the forum needs the exact error msg I will install it again as I really want to get this rom working.

I can't remember what stepping is on the kernel as we have been beta testing 4.0.1 and have been mainly dealing with a new setCPU governor called interactive. Were also still working on the other governor called smartass as well. I think that the stepping goes directly from 400 to 800, but we are always looking to go faster and with better battery life. I'll bug Randy and Mammon about it.
The sound will be Voodoo version 7, but I don't think the Voodoo color fix is going to make it into 4.0.1. Sorry, but we can't do everything...at least not all at the same time.

Did I see a similar post on the Bonsai website earlier today? I just want to verify that you were using CWM 3.0.0.6 as anything else will cause problems like that. Also when you get to these kinds of problems you should attempt a second flash of Bonsai before going to the trouble of a ODIN job. A second flash seems to fix a whole variety of odd kind of problems.
As you can imagine with all the beta testing I do I'm always finding ways to corrupt my phone. Some days I have managed to bork it 3-5 times.
I decided to test out today a 4.0.1 install directly from DI18 > CWM 3.0.0.6 > Bonsai 4.0.1 full rom. It went great with no problems at all and running just fine, so far
I think that is my problem, I am using a the CW that came with the one click unroot.
So I guess I need to do this, even if I am already rooted?

Do not use Rom Manager to be installing the beta CWM files. The correct way is with one of the 1 step CWM tools in the development forum. 3.0.2.4 is half-finished and is very difficult even to navigate through the various menu's. I know this because I tried out that CWM version for some grins one day. It will majorly screw your Epic if your not extremely careful. When DI18 was prevalent Rom Manager worked great to root your phone. When we started the move into the Froyo roms Rom Manager quit working and that is why the 1 click then became more prevalent.
Just follow the directions posted all over the place and Bonsai will install just fine and you will be a happy camper.
I am installing it now after updating to CW3 (from CW2.5) . I think it will come out fine now, I am an idiot and didn't realize the original one click root installed an older version of CW.

Some people do and some don't I do know that Randy has instituted quite a few bluetooth linux upgrades into 4.0.1 rom. Some people are able to clear the data, but the problem usually reappears. Mattalica76 has the link to a more permanent fix to this problem, give him a PM.

I loaded the EC05 stock from Odin as I still dont have a grasp on EXT4 file system.
last thing I tried was cw3.0.0.6 and loaded Bonsai and it installed, just hung at samsung screen. might be a corrupt rom file.
1) So after flashing CW3, bonsai is supposed to change the file system over to EXT4 automatically after flashing, correct?
2) will windows 7 be able to read the sd card after it is changed over to ext4 (by bonsai), or will it have 2 partitions, one windows can read fat32 and the other ext4 it cant.

CWM3 will convert your filesystem to ext4 the first time you boot into it. It won't touch the sdcard so that won't be converted. After CWM is finished with the conversion, do not reboot the phone, you will then flash Bonsai.

After flashing the boot script of cwm 3.0.0.6 you then have to power off. Then hold down the camera button, vol down, and power keys at the same time and the EXT4 script will automatically start to format your system. Please keep in mind that it is not formatting the SD card, but only the read only memory of the phone.
After you finished a few beers it will be done and will drop you back to cwm. Do not reboot, but flash bonsai. After bonsai is finished then reboot.

Sorry guys, I searched all over and it seems that either all the methods are outdated (2010), or I'm getting different opinions on how to do this.
I'm helping my friend root his fascinate, which we have done, however he told me he tried flashing clockwork via Rom Manager. I looked it up and it doesn't appear that's the way to go. He has no familiarity with Odin, however I do.
Can someone post a nice guide on how to do this, I found one that's really good but it's missing an "update.zip" file
Thank you in advance.
Put the phone into download mode, and then use Odin to flash the CWM odin image using the PDA button. The guides from 2010 should be just as valid then as now. Also, don't bother with Rom Manager, it regularly doesn't support our phone. You also don't need an update.zip file necessarily.
Never use the Phone button in Odin!!!
Thank you sir, I imagined this is the way to go since that's what I have done with my Droid Charge.
Will I lose recovery after I odin, if I don't install a customer rom and kernel in time?
is the latest OTA update rootable?
You only need to replace the kernel. The stock Samsung kernel on any Froyo+ (and some Eclair, IIRC) roms will try to nuke CWM on boot up.
The common method is to pull the battery from the phone, be holding volume down (or was it up?) and plug it into the computer, and it should boot to the downloading screen. Odin the CWM image, and once it's totally done, unplug it. Then, holding both volume up and down, put the battery back in and press and hold the power button. Once you see the 'SAMSUNG' logo appear, you can release the keys, and it should take you to CWM. From there, you can flash a compatible kernel.
Just a heads up, any 'MTD' based ROM/kernel (MIUI, Cynanogen, AOSP) isn't compatible with stock roms/kernels. When you flash an MTD rom/kernel, it'll completely change the filesystems & layouts on your phone (making Vodoo lagfix redundant), and you can only get back by Odin w/ a few special images along with the Atlas .pit file.
I'm just looking to put him on a decent rom.
Could I just flash the PBJ kernel found here

Just went to the ED05 powerwashed version and its working well. Not a whole lot different than stock but at least its debloated and rooted. I had too many battery pulls when using evil fascination and Com rom (all versions). I'm still on the factory kernel because more people seem to be having issues with the PBJ kernal.

Flash the PW-Fusion OTB kernal. It's overcloackable to 1.5 and undervolt -100, you will like it over stock kernal...atleast I do! ccampos has a link with it built into the PW v.1.2 rom...may I ask why you didnt take this route initially?

I didn't take the route initially because immediately after the kernal was linked in the powerwashed thread, there were like 4 posts of people getting Force Closes so I decided to wait a bit and see how it pans out (patience is a virtue). I've already downloaded the kernel, i'm just waiting. One thing i'm missing from the PW rom is getting rid of the battery popup. I'm scared to flash the mod because I beleive it was made for EB01.
PS i'm on PW v2

I agree with ZankTank. This is a great ROM and I am also still on the stock kernel that was posted. My phone has never felt as smooth as with this ROM/kernel combination. Just installed the V2 version last night and it is working great and no missed calls.
--bill
the otb-fusion kernal and the pbj kernal both work great on powerwash! 90% of peoples problems are user error.
One of the reasons I moved away from stock or stock-ish roms was the battery popup that came with Froyo. Well I've just flashed the zip to remove this "originally intended for EB01 as I mentioned above and there's no popup and I haven't had any FC's or issues as of yet. Granted i've only been using it an hour. I'll update after more use.

Also, I forgot to mention that I had to install this zip using Clockwork version 2.5.xx because you get edify script errors with version 3.xxxx
May I ask why does the battery popup bother you so much?
