Hi,
I'm trying to root the wifes new G1.
Now I've done this before with my own and now my HTC Hero.
However when I hit power and camera I get a quick message saying 'no image file' before it goes to the rainbow screen??
I have the Dreamg.nbh on the SDcard.
I tried to root using the flashrec.apk but when I type 'SU' in terminal it says permission denied, so I'm thinking it hasn't worked, however it did install Cyanogens recovery.
Confused on how to flash the Dreamg.nbh as I can't get into bootloader.
Has the process changed for cupcake builds?
Make sure you format the SD card as FAT32
The cards normally come as FAT and when you format the default option is to format as FAT, you just need to tell what ever you use to format the card with to format as FAT32 or you will get the no image error.
I did, HOWEVER I have partitioned it in advance as EXT3 and Linux swap in preparation, could that be the issue?

DON'T partition your card to save time, it costs you more...
Thanks guys.

I think I messed up my sd card for my G1.
I have a 8gb memcard and it was with 2 partitions ext2 and fat32. I just wanted to enlarge the fat32 side because the ext2 was 4gb big. Useless I thought So i deceided to make it only 500mb as ext2 and 7gb as fat32.
Now the computer can't access the card, it says that the cardslot is empty.
I use Paragon Partition Manager and there I can't modifie my sdcard. Nothing helps. I can see my sdcard in Paragon, but can access it and modify it!
Is my card messed up and do I have to buy a new one? Anybody knows how to restore it as it was when I bought it (only fat32 8gb)

YES you are so great!
It works now! Just like new. 8gb no partitions.
Thx!
No problem.
Now I have an another problem!
It always says write delay failed constantly!
Cannot access it, cannot format it, even not with sd formatter.
Is it now realy broken?
nobody :'(
Otherwise I have to order a new 8gb memory card which costs me a lot
use partition magic, create 2 partitions, make the primary partition your biggest and format it fat32, the second partition format in ext2. Then you will be okay

The problem is that I cant access my mem.card.
Always a fault: write delay failed. It makes even my computer freeze.
well if you have to get a new one get one of these:

Had the same problem after i used Paragon, would not read micro sd anymore. I did a system restore to before i installed Paragon. Problem solved. I am able to read my cards again. I noticed that in that "finish formatting after reboot" Paragon had an error. Figured thats what caused the problem.

Did You try sdsplit ??
It worked good for me, when there was no PC / laptop available.
(ps. Happy with the white version?? )

Hi Karloe
Yes very happy with my white G1.
How is it with the black one running ADP 1.5?
I will try SDSPLIT, but i think it will not help
If it doesn't work, try a linux live CD (Ubuntu, OpenSuse, Knoppix (I like Knoppix because of the extensive toolset for testing))
[offtopic]
The black one is doing fine, engineering bootloader, ADP1.5 with appstosd

It would be nice to tell us what You tried, so other users can learn from your reply
I have an EVO and can't get my SDCard to mount. I think it is a card format issue. I was getting a lot of SDCARD damaged messages. I could get by them by rebooting. I rebooted and copied everything to my mac. On the copy it said there was a problem with the "tmp" folder. I thought I was deleting the tmp folder from my backup, but actually was the SDCARD copy. I rebooted and then unmounted the SDCARD, and tried to reformat. It gives the Format SD card, then erase everything, and then back to SD & phone storage immediately. Mount SD card does nothing. When I reboot, I get SD card safe to remove. I am running amon_RA (RA-evo-v1.7.0.2) recovery, Burnt Droid 1.0. Nothing in recovery that accesses the SDcard works. I do not have a card reader. Cannot access the SDcard from anything. I am thinking about returning to stock and taking to Sprint for them to format card. Any ideas before I do this?
Help anyone?
Try using unix tools cfdisk or fdisk to make a new partition table of the sd card, then use mkfs.vfat on it (this will erase all data, so backup the things you find neccessary if possible)

I got this to work by going back to stock. I could then access sdcard, formatted, and then rooted again. Downloaded SD card formatter for future reference.
Thank you.

Only if you want to remove problems like low internal memory and want to use A2SD
My phone doesn't detect it either.
at start it gives small card with ! mark.
I tried formatting the card wholly with fat32,
I even tried making different partitions fat32+ext4.
In both ways my phone doesn't detect the memory card.
But when I do the update in recovery mode it updates through sd card.
My memory card is perfectly working on PC and other devices.
Try using the partition sd card option in recovery if you want to use Link2SD, A2SD or S2E.
Guys, do the cards ext2 or 3 , not 4. Don't know why but...... It worked for me. And if you partition them, make both partitions primary.

Thank you very much..I had the same problem, I formatted my SD card to ext3,fat32 and a swap partition and Wolla..its working fine:victory:.
There are some issues with ext4 partitions.
ext4 partition are said to be better but they might have some problems.
So if you encounter any, format it completely and delete all partitions. Using your phone recovery to make partition would be better.
Sometimes your second partition(i.e. sd-ext) is not detected by your recovery, and your main fat32 is works fine. Well that happened with me and i searched for solutions for long time. But did get any.
Later i fixed it by flashing the last cwm recovery with which the sd-ext partition was getting detected. Seems like the new version of recovery was the problem. Or something else, I don't know.
just as the title says... when choosing the format option in settings it does not ask what format to make it... the properties of the card simply say "Generic Hierarchy" do I really need a card reader for my PC in order to change it?

haha I've tried just about everything I can find.. the settings for formatting do not give me any choices as to what format.. it just formats it.. and TWRP will only let me make partitions.. gives me options for ext3 or ext4 whatever that is... I guess I will need to find someone with a card reader on their PC or laptop.. to get it formatted to FAT32

Can you still boot into your Rom? If so, under settings/storage you can format it and it will use fat32

So i proceed to do so although the error would come back right once it formatted and it was a cycle. So i decided to plug it into my computer and see whats happening so i open the micro sd card in windows explorer and said i needed to format the drive for it to work so now when i try i get a msg saying windows was unable to complete the format . and in dis manager it shows as file system raw and partition healthy and basically i cant use it any more help ??

Of course you're right with the 4GB file limit. But for testing if your sd card still works it should be totally fine. Once the card works, you can format it to exFat in windows.

Try to use SDFormatter. Try different options. If it doesn't help, may be your beloved sd card is (physically) broken.
Fat32
I think you have to format your SD into fat32
