[Q] Need help upgrading from cyanogenmod6.1 to 7.2

ricky_metalhead · Apr 30, 2012

Sorry if this has been asked already but I'm stuck. I'm trying to upgrade to this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1185027. Whenever I flash it and reboot the phone it's still on cm6.1. I saw the prerequisites and changed the radio but when I did that the phone just hung at the G1 screen so I went back to the old radio. Is there something else I need to do beforehand?

Here's what my bootloader displays
DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA10000)
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.23.02

I did see a similar topic elsewhere and the person was directed to here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139 but I'm still lost. I'm having difficulty flashing in fastboot.

Hi

Have you upgraded the SPL?

No but I've tried to do that in fastboot and that's where I'm having problems. When I first get into fastboot I see that it's searching for images and after each one it says "No image!". Then it says HBOOT or FASTBOOT USB if I connect it. Is there another way to install it? I tried through recovery with dream_2708kit.zip which has the images for hboot-1.33.0013d and radio-2.22.27.08 but it fails signature and verification.

Its best to do this from fastboot (diffrent then hboot) hold down back or camera when powering on. Connect phone, should say fastboot usb. Then put these files in same folder as fastboot from sdk package (platform tools more than likley) files needed are recovery, radio and spl. Now hold shift and right click in folder, click on opent cmd here. Now type fastboot devices. Make sure you get your phone listed. Now flash recovery then radio then spl - in this order! Amonra 1.7 something, .27.08, and .13d

I thought fastboot is the screen with the 3 skating androids which is what I see when I'm in hboot. Holding the camera button and power brings me to hboot. So I must not have fastboot installed then?

Fastboot and hboot is your spl. If you have 3 androids on sketboards you have upgraded to one of the engiennering spls that allows fastboot flashing (except for the .13d) after hboot checks for an .nbh file you should be in fastboot mode, connect to comp and look for fastboot usb in red. What does everthing on your screen say (the android/skateboard screen)

On an afterthought you get the fastboot program from the android sdk package, make sure this is installed on your computer

Is it the fastboot.exe in platform-tools folder? I thought it was finally going to work. I found that if I held on to the back button rather than camera fastboot came on but typing in fastboot devices did nothing and when I typed in the command to install the 1st file recovery it said searching for device. Sorry I'm just really frustrated. I had no problems when I installed cm6.1 years ago. I have since moved on to the HD2, had fun trying out the different android roms on that and now I'm using the Galaxy S II. I'm only trying to upgrade the G1 because I sold it on eBay and the buyer is interested in having gingerbread on there. I thought it would be easier than this.

I think it's possible to flash this in recovery, but it's much, much secure to flash it in fastboot. But, if you mess up, your phone is bricked, then, the only way is JTAG. I have flashed my 1.33.0013d/2.22.28.25 combo with recovery thanks to demkantor, he showed me the files. I may need to do my homework if this is safe for you. But this combo gets, 14 mb extra RAM, at the cost of playing 3D Games. But really, when you do this, your device will work like a charm.

ricky_metalhead · Apr 30, 2012

I typed in this command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img and it just hangs at waiting for device. I have no problems getting it to connect when I have the phone booted up in regular mode with usb debugging checked. I'm able to type adb devices and get my phone's serial number with no problems. What am I supposed to see when I'm in fastboot and type in fastboot devices?

demkantor · Apr 30, 2012

As mention all can be done via recovery, but it isn't all that safe. You need to cange directories, change enviromental variables, or just open the cmd in the folder fastboot is in. More than likley in platform tools. Find it, put all needed files in that same folder. Hold down shift and right click within that folder, click on the option to open cmd here. Then have your phone pluged in and in fastboot mode. Now type fastbbot devices. If your serial number comes up then proceed

Nothing happens when I type fastboot devices, it just goes to the next command line with no serial popping up. I opened up cmd from the platform-tools folder and I have the files needed in that same folder. I really don't get what's going wrong here.

demkantor · Apr 30, 2012

You can try changing directorys first
Or add the path in enviromental variables

Are you using windows/mac/linux? Which os

Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

Windows 7

demkantor · Apr 30, 2012

click home > right click my computer > properties > advanced system settings > advanced tab > environmental variables > new
variable name : adb
variable value is the pat ex: C:\android\android-sdk_r18-windows\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\

make yours what it needs to be
then go to "PATH" in second box (system variables) if there isnt "PATH" add it
at the end of value add ----- ;C:\android...... the rest of your path

once done you can just open cmd anywhere your files are
fastboot and adb are in the same folder (platform-tools or whatever)
files can be anywhere on your computer

do this - open window and try adb and see what happens - then try adb devices
now you can also try fastboot, then try fastboot devices
of course in your phones settings under applications, make sure adb is checked!
or this wont do you any good

It seems as if my phone and computer aren't communicating with eachother while in fastboot. It only works when the phone is in normal mode and only then does adb devices work. I really appreciate you trying to help I know you must be getting frustrated as much as I am lol

I'm going to go ahead and try this on my old pc, the one I had used to root the phone and install cm6.1. Hopefully I'll have better luck with that than my new laptop

demkantor · May 1, 2012

I'm not too easily frusterated so don't worry. You may need to remove the drivers and reinstall them so when you plug in your phone all modes are excepted. But still this is unlikley if you can use adb when phone is powered on. But still could be worth a shot to try. When you connect the phone holding power and back (or camera) do you see the phone say fastboot in red? Then when plugged in does it say fastboot usb in red?

FASTBOOT USB OR HBOOT USB, depending on which mode I'm in

<CAMERA STEP2> Hboot Mode
<SEND> Reset Device
<ACTION> Restart to HBoot
<MENU> Power Down

The 3 skating droids

That's all I see
