    Root nandroid backup problem

    I installed j_r0dds in my backflip, put a sd card with 3+GB free in it (the same one I have been using with the phone), and boot into recovery mode. Before doing anything else, I decided to back up what I have. So I tell it to backup and am told to run nandroid-mobile.sh from a adb shell. I try...

    Help Where did my Milestone came from?

    Just bought an A853 Milestone off ebay and was curious about which country it was marketed for. I do not know if this helps but its firmware configuration version is GAS_NA_GCXSHOU000NA_P015

    Root Kinda stuck on the HardSPL step

    So I was following http://androidforums.com/g1-all-things-root/12637-root-guide-stock-2-cyanogen-update-rom.html to update my rom to the latest cyanogen. I did not go very far though. Step 1 and 2 went smoothly (had to get the cm-recovery-1.4.img off...

    Help Cant register Gmail account

    I got this G1 working, put my SIM card and proceeded to the "register me with your gmail account screen." I enter username and password. Phone seems to think I not only have 4 bars but also 3G here (if you want I can show what I mean... just to make sure I am not imagining things). But, nothing...

    Root Downgrading to build RC29 -> Frozen during image update?

    Since I have RC-30, I got RC29's DREAIMG.nbh file (per How-to- Root, Hack, and Flashing your G1/Dream Read first!! - xda-developers) and put it in FA32-formatted mini-SD card. Then I boot in boot loader mode (power + camera button). Got screen showing: DREAIMG.nbh - BOOTLOADER - RECOVERY -...

    My G1 does not like SIM cards

    If I boot up this G1 without a SIM card, it boots up to the "emergency call only" screen as expected. Does not seem to want to pay attention at me when I tap the screen but at least it boots. :confused: If I put a SIM card, be it t-mobile (I tried 2) or AT&T, it will go as far as the G1...

    Help G1 does not like SIM card

    I have here a G1 that boots fine (into emergency mode) when it has no SIM card but just will not boot when I put the card in. Coincidence? I don't know. I do not even know where to begin debugging that. What I do know the stupid card works in a (jailbroken) iPhone and in a Blackberry without...

    Help Screen goes blank seconds after G1 screen

    So I too am facing a G1 whose screen goes blank. If I start it up, it *might* decide to show the G1 screen and then it will go blank (nothing on the screen but the backlit is still on). No button I press brings it out of that status. Other times it just stays on the G1 screen but that is not as...

    Apps A few Service questions

    After reading Service | Android Developers, I began to have a few questions. Can I have a program that is just a service that will be run in the background? So, once you start it, it might at first acknowledge you started it but unless it wants your attention it will not bother you (i.e. no...
