G1 Rom problems - General Questions and Answers

hey I have had my g1 for a couple weeks now and have been changing roms off and on usually i stay on cyanogen's but sometimes i get restless and change to a hero rom or one of the newer eclair rooms. I recently had one of the those spurts of restlessness and tried one of the newer eclair roms and didn't like it but now when i try to change the rom i get an error message that says "Failure at line 31: symlink toolbox SYSTEM:bin/chmod" then the installation gets aborted, I have tried flashing just back to the regular dreamimg29 thing and that works but if i try to do any other rom after i get root it doesn't work wont boot into the new rom just gets stuck at the g1 screen. I really don't know if this is something that i did to myself or if its just that i have done to many different roms and the flash memory has gotten scrambled up or something ( i do wipe before every rom and follow the proper steps before each one just saying) so if anyone can help thanks.... sorry this was a long post i really want to get back to cyanogen's rom and i really dont have the know how to understand what its telling me. Oh and this is like my first post so im sorry if it's in the wrong place

your prolly on the wrong SPL.. hold home+back when turning your phone on to see if your on the right SPL.. if the rainbow screen comes up.. your not. if the android logos riding skateboards comes up.. you are

got it
Alright I got cyanogens running but now there are none of the google apps lol I knew that would happen just can't figure out how to get them on

you got to flash the htc "recovery" file to get google apps then flash cyanogen since cyanogen took them out for legal reasons

Well with CM5 we had apps2ext, with CM6 we dont. You may have all the internal storage filled up and leaving it not enough space to do its thing. So i would delete a few of your big apps and see if that helps. If you feel comfortable with it you can download firerats script to get them on you SD's extention if you have partitioned your card.

Help Needed

So I put CM6.1.1 on my Aria, i have a problems i want to put the gingerbread theme which i have and the google add on which i also have. I flashed the phone to CM6.1.1 and it works no problem, my problem is that for some reason it seems that i cannot both these on my phone, if i install CM6.1.1 then reboot then flash on the google add on it work no problem but then if i try to flash on the gingerbread theme after that the phone gets stuck in a bootloop, on the other hand if i install CM6.1.1 and then reboot then flash on the gingerbread theme it works no problem, then if i install the google add on it boots up but when it gets to the part were it says touch the android to begin it doesnt work. the android guy flashes when i press him but it does nothing it just keeps showing the hand pointing to him saying touch to begin, and no matter how many times i try it still gives me the same problems.
Can you not have these two thing on your phone at once or am i doing somehting wrong here?

Just replied to your post in the cm6 thread.disregard what I said since you've now given us a lot of extra information.
Yea I saw your reply and i figured id make a new thread on my problem since it was a lot more than just what i posted in that thread
anyone know how to fix this?
Toward the end of the gingerbread theme thread there is someone who did a repackaging of it that actually works. The theme author refuses to admit they packaged it in a way that doesn't work for everyone just because it works for him, but the repackaged zip works flawlessly without a bunch of extra dalvik cache wiping that only works for a few people. Go to the end of the thread and work your way back.

[Resolved] Getting stuck on go go go

Hi,
Alright, im totally new to this; I'm trying to run Android on my HD2...
So, All guides I found kind of talked about the same things:
1, Flash phone with HSPL3
2. Flash phone with Radio 2.15.50.40
3. Flash magldr v.1.13
4. Download a NAND ROM -- I was first trying with Cope's Cyanogen Rom, kept getting stuck on GO GO GO! (in magldr) after a while I actually got it to work, but couldn't get data to work, the first time I restarted the phone it got stuck again....
Then I flashed official tmobile wm, got rid of magldr, and started all over, but this time I tried flashing MDJ's Cyanogen Rom, however after resolving several previous issues i got stuck on GO GO GO! again...
also, I have tried with both magldr v 1.11 and 1.13
-------------------
Is there something wrong with the previous steps I took? Any suggestions?
There is another thing that was always wrong with my phone which might be causing this problem; ever since I got it it would sometimes get stuck on the first purple "stay together" screen and not want to move... Even after I restart the screen would persist, and the only solution was to let it 'chill' for a while before attempting to turn on again...[It got stuck even when I flashed the wm to get rid of mangldr]
So any suggestions on how could I get Android running ???
Thanks
Never mind....
It seems to have fixed itself!!! THIS IS GREAT!!! Skyfire, one bus away!!!!
Thanks to all for this awsome forum and for the great roms!!!!

[Q] jt's ICS v4 reboots to endless nonrecovery loop

getting to be far too familiar a scenario lately....
lately EVERY time i reboot my phone (running ics build 2, 3 and 4, stock kernel) it gets stuck on samsung logo.. somehow my phone will only boot into the frigging cm7 recovery which as im sure youre all aware is rather useless to fix any problems im having in ics and leaves me unable to flash, backup, or restore anything. it's quite frustrating and i have no idea how to fix it but by going back to bml, re-partitioning, then odin ei20 modem, cm7 fixed recovery, then flash back to ics but doin this every reboot it getting very tedious..
ive read about recovery loops, but the fix doesnt work for me as i cant mount the ICS /system partition in cm7 recovery...and ive been all over trying a zillion things to get it to work and havent pulled dmesg or logcat but if someone thinks it would be useful ..i wish i knew why EVERYTHING is great, then BANG, reboot and it's FML city.
i should add this phone is a replacement via insurance and that the entire time ive had it, i've been having this problem to varying degrees of intensity,.sometimes if i rebooted enough the ics boot animation would finally come up and freeze part way through, and in the first week with this phone is seemed fine. the first few times i rebooted and battery pulled until it started but this is the fourth time in two weeks ive found myself going back to repartition from odin and then back to ics.. the phone is only mine for a month,.
if nobody has any ideas ill be getting it replaced tomorrow in store. i have the no fee insurance replacement plan, but i would prefer not to have to use another as it's not under warranty and this would be my second replacement and this mes has to last me until the gnex hits uscc in hopefully april if it ever does because i'd rather switch to vzw than take any of usccs other offerings currently.. if they dont get the gnex it'll be time for me to move on...
anyway please advise.. thanks
You're asking this at the wrong forum dude. You wont get any support here. Everyone's moved to Rootzwiki
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15859-ics-b4-was-100-rebooted-and-bootloop-on-samsung-logo/
Yep but when fishing it helps to have multiple lines in the water...
Past experience
From what ive found out, once you have ICS flash on ur phone, ur not going to want to use the three finger salute. If you want to boot into recovery, only do it by rebooting into recovery through ics

Rom Flashing/Recovery Flashing help LG Optimus V

This isn't the first time I've flashed but this is the first time I've encountered this much trouble so here's the story:
I've put in a CWN-Based recovery, and I've tried to flash OverDrive ROM, when I boot into the ROM I get a blank screen and nothing happens. I've tried adding the PicaSticks Kernel to is as well, and I get a red "Hello" (not the a full startup screen) and then back to the blank again. I also tried one other ROM (the name escapes me), both ROM's claiming to have the blank screen fixed.
Also, If I flash to a Gingerbread, and my phone has been activated once before (it's off right now I have paid it yet this month), do I still need a Froyo before I can upgrade it to Gingerbread?
Any help at all with this is appreciated, thanks in advanced.
Update: I got Xionia to flash into it and I've wiped all the things it says to do prior to installing, then I'm installing Overdrive 2.2 (Android 2.2.2) de-odexed and I get a blank screen still. Not sure what to try from here. I also cannot even flash a different kernel. I feel so stupid here.
I am really not able to understand your queries.
Could you please start from the beginning :fingers-crossed:
