can't download anything from Market with wifi..

Just updated JF1.41. Everything seemed perfect, but I found I couldn't download anything from Market, and couldn't see any clips from your tube either. I am able to see the previews in both...it's odd. If I changed wifi to GPRS, everything went back to good..I really did some modificaitons on IM. But even I copied back the original files, the problem still existed..I don't know if I can flash the official build back to fix this??

for me it works with jf 1.4.1. the only issue I have so far is that snapphoto does not recognize my sd anymore (see my other thread).

Before going crazy and flashing back to RC29, try doing a full wipe and see if that fixes the problem.

Agreed. flashing the nbh is a bit.. extreme . Additionally, flashing the nbh is riskier than wiping or re-applying the JFv1.41 update. Flashing the nbh could potentially brick your phone, doing a wipe or re-applying the JFv1.41 update doesn't touch the bootloader, so it is much much safer.

I had to reboot my phone before downloading anything from the market but I think it was because of bad reception. I say first reboot it, if it doesn't help -wipe it.

I found that I had to log into Gmail to setup the phone and log into the market via GPRS and download one program before I could download reliably via WiFi.

Actually, I had done the wipe and re-applied the JFv1.41 update many times, but that didn't work for me. I knew I did something wrong, but I just didn't know how to undo what I had done...What I had done is that I deleted [email protected]@[email protected], and applied another version of this file in order to make my MSN work with others carriers except Tmobile in GRPS mode.

Anyone else with this problem on ADP1.1? I cannot even access the internet with WIFI any longer. I have deleted NOTHING, done a wipe, and prior to installing anything, tested it again. No dice

maybe a silly question, but those help me too, sometimes...
did you re-enter your wifi settings? they are wiped, too.

I was about to smack you upside the head (interwebz style) but I have done stupid stuff before like that and realized it would be unjustified. Yes, my settings are all good. I am connecting with WPA-PSK

I don't think it has a lot to do with the 1.41 biuld. I'm still using 1.31 and just recently I've started having this same issue. I have no clue why this is happening, all used to work fine about 1 1/2 weeks ago????

Hanging G1 on all haykuro builds

On every haykuro build that I install, no matter what, it will either get stuck on the G1 screen or android/htc screen during boot after a restart.
I have reflashed my phone to RC29, re rooted, re installed JFRC33, and then tried updating from there 3 times and still I get the same problem.
It is really pissing me off now because it makes no sense that it won't work for me but it does for everyone else.
here is a log of the phone during the hanging G1 screen
http://pastebin.com/f58ba7818
haykuro said it is the new build.prop that is causing my problems but why would it only affect me and no one else?
If anyone has any idea of what is wrong, please suggest what to do.
JUST FYI
Yes, I did wipe before installs
Yes, I have completely reflashed my phone to RC29 and then re-rooted
Yes, I have checked the MD5 sums of all the files I use
It's unbelievable annoying.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

Wait a little linger!
k when flashing to the haykuro builds the first couple time it takes a little to boot. your not waiting long enough. I almost took my battery out to start over again when bam the htc boot screen appeared. Trust me re root your phone from RC29 and add the 5.02h build and you will be all set I promise. you don't have to add Jf 1.42 RC33 build first. Once you get all set then update the radio. Hope I helped!

Well I waited well over 3 hours before and it was still hanging. and the output from the log looks like the build.prop is causing it to crash.. but I don't know why. I have flashed the recovery.img and I know that I am using test keys.

Don't know if this will help but, have you tried completely reformatting your sdcard and trying again, or preferably trying a different card? I have problems flashing when using my 8gb card, yet the 1gb card that came with the phone works fine..

you probly have a low class memory card and they are slow So it may take a while.....like the post above says swich cards and yull be alrite

Well I'm not using apps-to-sd.. would the sd card still affect it? I'm able to install the port fine and set it up, but after it reboots is when it gets stuck on the G1 screen.

yess it would because it is updating the system from the card

I tried again with my freshley formatted 1 GB card that came with the phone and still I get the hanging G1 screen.
I really don't think it has to do with the SD card, I think that it's something else.

bump.. anyonee?

have u updated to the new SPL and radio images that are on his site?

My devphone hangs for me on the Android startup. Now I can't do anything other than fastboot.
Bootloader: 0.95.3000
Baseband: 2.22.19.23
I can't even recover to any of my previously working firmwares because my baseband version isn't 1.22.14.11. I'm stuck!

Fixed the problem with an Alt-W wipe at the recovery console.

Yes I have updated the radio and the SPL but still the problem persists. I did a complete re isntallation of DREAIMG.nbh with the 1 GB card that came with the phone (after I formatted the card) and then rooted, isntalled the modified recovery.img, then I installed 5.0.2 again, and I still got the same result.
I really don't understand.

I really wish someone knew how to fix this I miss those soft keyboards.

[SOLVED] HELP Installing CM 4.2 on Mytouch3G

Hey guys so I'm pretty tech savvy and i know my way around this phone but something weird's been happening. I had CM 4.2 on my Mytouch3G. I tried applying a theme which made it not boot up anymore(bootloop).
I did make a nandroid backup before but when i tried restoring with it, it keeps getting stuck at the green mt3g screen or at the second loading screen. I've tried flashing the rom again but gets stuck at the same place. If I just install the htc 1.6 update it works fine. But when I go to apply the CM 4.2 update it gets stuck again. I have wiped a million times, and fixed ext system also a bunch of times. I have also unrooted also by applying sappimg.nbh and starting over. Rooted, tried again, but nothing, still getting stuck at the loading screen. I have gotten it a couple times to go all the way to the home screen but i get com.android.phone force close.
Also i've tried going from stock htc 1.6 to CM 4.1.99 and up, not just straight to CM 4.2 so i don't know what to do.
Any help appreciated!

I seem to be having this problem as well.
Phone just freezes at MT3g loading screen.
4.1.9.2 seems to load fine, however 4.2.1 flashes properly, but phone just sits at green loading screen.

You didnt say the steps you took to flash it. Did you do the step by step instructions on Cyan's OP? You cant just flash it like a normal ROM you have to do what he says on his post. I followed the steps and my MT3G works fine with it.

But i did say the steps...i first flashed the htc recovery image like it CM said to do. I even said in the post that i already had cm 4.2 on my phone but had to reflash after a theme froze my phone at the boot screen. I know its a different install process compared to any other rom.

Do people even take time to read the original post, or do they just blurt out things that sound helpful? I said towards the middle of the post that i've wiped a million times and also tried fixing ext filesystem. I appreciate anyone trying to help but please read my post carefully!

I have the same problem guys, but oly with 4.2.3.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4851283&postcount=3677

i HAD a similar problem when i went to 4.1.999 the first time but i fixed it.
i prefer amon ra's recovery 1.2.3g. i wiped the file system AND cache. then i did the 1.6 update followed immediately with the CM update. i rebooted and let it load up completely, then rebooted into recovery again and applied the new theme.
i actually went through the process a couple times before it worked flawlessly. it may have been a different problem though, since i was getting past the mytouch splash and about 10 seconds into the android splash before it would freeze.

So i tried everything from scratch but with amon ra's rec image this time. It gets passed the first boot screen and right after the second android screen it goes straight to a black screen. Have tried a few variations of installing and same thing happens everytime...This blows, i'm so stuck.

Quick update for anyone with any ideas. I finally got it to boot up and it runs great except for two things I've notices so far. When i try to add widgets nothing pops up and when i go to settings the window comes up for half a second then goes away and back to home screen. Now what I did to fix it was partition the sd card which i was told is NOT necessary. Then after i got it to work i tried again with a sdcard that was NOT partitioned and it did the same thing again, black screen no-go. So it seems like if you don't partition the sdcard on some phones the phone freezes at a black screen. Keywords being "some phones". So for anybody who knows how to fix the widget and settings problems not opening, please help me....Thanks

Actually if you have an MT3G I believe you don't flash the 1.6 recovery image, but flash the 1.6 ADP rom. That is what I did since I was already rooted but with AmonRa's donut rom, but wanted to give Cy a shot, and I had no problems flashing this HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 , then reboot manually but while rebooting I pushed home fast while it was rebooting to get me to the recovery screen, then I just flashed Cy's 4.2.2 then I went to the market and downloaded his Cyanogen updater and checked for an update, then found the update 4.2.3.1 and downloaded that straight to my phone and then choose to reboot and it automatically installed 4.2.3.1 straight to my MT3G with no problems at all.
From Cyanogen:
Download: Android 1.6 Recovery Image. (This isn’t like a typical "recovery" image we know -- it’s simply HTCs version of an update.zip.)
* Magic32A and Magic32B users only: Download this HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip

I would go ahead and put Cy's latest back on your sd card, and also download the HTC_1.6_ADP rom if you have a MT3G (Magic 32B) or a Magic 32A and put that on your sd card. WIPE WIPE WIPE - I always wipe three times, and wipe cache also, then flash the 1.6 ADP rom then reboot but while it is rebooting hold down home to get back to recovery screen then apply Cy's on top of the 1.6 ADP rom.
I went ahead and just put Cy's 4.2.2 (instead of 4.2.3.1) on my sd card along with the HTC 1.6 ADP Rom and flashed the HTC 1.6 ADP rom first, then rebooted manually from the recovery screen, then quickly hold down home while rebooting to get back to recovery screen and applied any zip Cy4.2.2. Then when I signed in went to market to download Cyanogen Updater and set that up and then checked for updates and it found 4.2.3.1. I dowloaded that from my phone and then it was automatic from there, just asked if I wanted to reboot and apply and I said yes. Up and running with no problems so far....

That is the exact process i run thru. Sorry for the confusion, the reason i said htc recovery 1.6 is because thats what htc calls it. So i do have the htc 1.6 adp.....and i do wipe a lot also

This is probably a dumb question as I assume you would have mentioned it, but are there themes involved in any of your troubles or are you staying with stock 4.2.3.1? I only ask because I was having the same issue with the SECOND android splash crashing because I had tried to install a theme before booting into Cyanogen at least once.
I also don't think you should reboot after installing the 1.6 base like mavsfan was suggesting, though I'm not sure if it's related to your issues.

Try booting it up without an sdcard inserted. If it works that means it's your card. Card issues are very hard to diagnose and even harder to solve (other than reformat).

Hey thanks for your suggestion, i have tried that, I've reformatted, I've tried different SD cards and nothing changed. I'm pretty sure the sd cards are good...

[SOLVED]Finally...
So for anyone having similar issues, here's what i did to finally get this working.
Apparently with Cyanogen's newest ROM's you HAVE to partition your sdcard, so the Rom will run on certain phones. I don't know if its all phones because there's only a few people that i've heard to have this problem. So here's the steps:
Things you will need(all these can be found in this forum)
1. Phone+sdcard
2. sappimg.nbh
3. FlashRecovery.apk
5. AmonRa's recovery image(has more options than CM's RecImg)
6. Htc ADP 1.6 stock donut rom
7. CM 4.2.3+
8. A theme(optional)(check out the Eclair 2.0 theme)
Starting from scratch
1. a. Put sappimg.nbh on sd card and turn the phone off.
b. Turn phone on by holding VOLUME DOWN+POWER
c. Apply the stock sapphire image and boot up to home screen.
2. a. Now put FlashRec.apk and AmonRa's recovery image on sdcard.
b. Install a file manager like Astro and install FlashRec.apk
c. Now open it and click Backup Recovery Image.
d. Now erase whats in the box and type /sdcard/name.of.recoveryimage.img
e. Yes you do have to type .img after the recovery image name.
f. Then click flash.
3. a. Now put the HTC ADP 1.6 Rom and CM 4.2.3+ Rom on the sdcard.
b. Reboot into recovery by holding HOME+POWER.
c. Now partition your sdcard by selecting it from the menu(the one that says +swap)
d. Now convert ext2 to ext3. After that I did:
4. a. Wipe, format ext3, wipe
b. Flash HTC ADP 1.6
c. Wipe, format ext3, wipe again.
d. Flash CM 4.2.3+
e. Wipe, format ext3, wipe one more time
f. Reboot, now it should work, give it some time to boot up.
Adding the theme
1. Make a nandroid backup before starting to save you the hassle.
2. Put your theme.zip on sdcard and reboot in recovery again.
3. Choose apply any zip and choose the theme from the list.
4. Reboot once its done and enjoy.
If anyone has any questions about anything here go ahead and reply or PM me. Have a good one guys, hope this helps anyone.
Oh and if you guys see any mistakes let me know so i can fix it, its pretty late right now

[Q] Cloning a Phone configuration

I have recently started dabbling with rooting my phone and guess what- I LOVE IT!...I have been having so much fun getting the phone streamlined without the unnecessary apps and getting a faster response from the phone, that I want to do it for my wife's phone as well. She has the same HTC Hero and has been complaining of the poor response of her phone for a while. I want to clone my phone on her phone while I keep playing with the configurations and improvements on my phone. Is there a way to migrate all the changes I have done on mine into her phone seamlessly? I was thinking of some sort of nandroid backup made on mine, being used on hers- (I am a noob, so play nicely )

As far as I know, although I've never tested it...
If you root her phone and put the same recovery image on her phone (albeit Clockwork, Amon_Ra, or Darch) then it SHOULD successfully restore a nandroid image made on your phone. It might be easiest to just pop your sdcard into her phone when you restore your nandroid, that way you take no chances on the files being corrupted in the process.
The only problem I see with this is that if you restore a rom onto another phone, you'll in turn have to delete your sync data afterwards and then redo the setup with her gmail, etc etc.
Hope this helps and good luck! Glad you're enjoying your phone!

Doesnt work, I tried to use a nandroid of Fresh 2.4 from my wifes phone so I could update PRL and I kept getting errors
Both are HTC Hero's
It did boot up and all, but data and all that was messed up, maybe if he edited the build prop to match her phone?

Perhaps. But I wouldn't think so. If that was the case wouldn't you have to manually edit them everytime you flashed? I thought that data was kept on a separate partition... am I wrong?

No clue as to why it didnt work for me but it didnt...

When I had my phone replaced, I saved the nandroid from my original phone, used the same SD card, and had "my" phone back up and running in no time.
This shouldn't be an issue really.
My only question is, why not have the wife pick her ROM, theme, apps, customizations for herself?

I think the key word is "my" The nandroid I took from my wifes Hero worked for her phone. I had nandroided back and did a PRL update on her phone. I took that same file and placed it on my Hero and did the nandroid, it booted and everything Excited I went to update PRL and tried but kept getting a error. I tried to update profile and would get the same error.
Why?
Can it work if it got edited?
I dont know, I think it builds something on first boot that takes your info (cant remember what its called) and when trying to connect it needs that info. If it doesnt match what the ROM is telling the network thats where the errors come from, atleast I think, lol.
Try it, maybe it just didnt work for me.
I agree with riggsandroid though, flash her a clean install and let her pick and choose what she wants

Why not just use titanium backup on one, then restore it on the other? Unless I'm misunderstanding the problem.

Ampe A85 A31S - 0.00kbs, format and factory reset every boot

Hey guys. Forgive my noobity but I could do with some help and might have a unique problem although I dare say someone has had this or similar.
Firstly, after putting a 64GB stick in my tablet the other day, it all went badly wrong. I had done it before with my previous 64GB that had been playing up so I sent it back and got a new one. The new one seems to be where it all went pear shaped. I might add, the 64GB is for my phone really but my phone cam was playing up so I was swapping it over and stuff... anyway the card itself seems fine in my phone.
Anyways... now my ampe tablet is suffering some strange effects that have changed. initially it would not boot up unless I redone it with the official firmware.. but then wouldn't boot up again, unless I did the same thing over and over. then one time it just refused to boot up past the initial boot screen. I gave up for weeks then picked it up again two days ago.
Now I give it the firmware installed using pheonix again and it booted up. Ahh I thought... lets play. Now I plug it into the pc but the pc says I need to format the 5GB internal partition. So I did. I then looked how to fix the fact that the tab still says it has 0.00kbs internal storage in settings. Then after a while it came up saying 5GB so i copied some files onto it.. great. But I still can't install apps as I found when trying to do this tested working fix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJlpek6w624
I then read about using android commander to move busybox from xbin to bin in the system folder but mine is already there.
So now I am stuck. I can't test if my tab is rooted for the youtube link fix above although this is what I said to Nayeem on youtube:
================
Hi Nayeem. I'm really struggling with this. At first my tab was staying at the 2nd initial boot up screen after I put in a 64GB SD card. Using pheonix I managed to get it to boot by reinstalling the updated official rom from szampe but every reboot back to square one. I left it alone for weeks and came back to it, reinstalled the factory rom again and now it will boot up everytime but it has factory reset every time. I cant run the apps you supply for some reason. Everytime I have rebooted the tab, and connected back to pc it says I need to format the internal 5GB partition. I don't know if I have rooted it properly as I can't check. The commands you give above, work as it changes the location proven when I 'get' it. I'm really stumped. I'm trying out a method someone said about moving busybox from sys/xbin to sys/bin but it's already there (using android commander) so I am really stumped now. When I format the partition, it allows me to copy files to it.
================
So far I am stuck with boot up being a factory reset and the partition needs formatting and although the tablet seems a little laggy, everything I have tried works including wifi and incoming email alerts after logging into google account for playstore but no apps will install or update. the best warning I get is there is no memory to install anything and Nayeems method of moving the install location to the sd card seems to work but nothing will install still saying NOT INSTALLED when I try.
Sorry for the long winded thing but I am really new to all of this.
My hat is off to you if you read all of this and can offer a solution so i can give this tablet back to the kids.

Do you have an installed recovery
Try installing a recovery and wipe data and cache. If it does not work u have to repartition ur tablet

I am gonna look into this tonight and see what I can find out. I really don't know exactly what I am doing outside of getting pheonix up and sending a standard rom back to it as previously mentioned.
How would I repartition it ? Sounds stupid asking as i can build pcs... just want to make sure I am doing the correct method.
