I’ve had this for a few months already and there is quite a bit on the phone that I would not like to have to reinstall/configure. Will apps2sd or mybackup (rerware) help?

I’m on a TMobile G1.

I was running cm 4.0.4 and today I got a bug where my home button doesn’t work anymore and the phone doesn’t lock.

I figure this may have happened because I updated several apps at once and also set up the lock pattern preferences.

Anyway, today, I updated to 4.2.1 and the same home key fail and unlock problem exists.

Did I copy this bug to the new mod when I used nandroid backup?

Is there any way to re-install this without running nandroid? I have my apps and contacts, etc backed up already with backup for root users.

Or, can I empty the contents of the nandroid folder on my SD card to install a bug-free cm4.2.1?

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the tips. Before I saw them, I had searched for the same issue (desktop icons disappearing) and found someone posting elsewhere with the same issue. I contacted him to find out if he had resolved the issue and he had and told me what to do, which was to boot into recovery and select “repair ext filesystems”. That did the trick!

I suggest this:
> Open Terminal (not the Console in Recovery)
> type: fix_permissions (this WILL take a while, be patient)
> reboot

If that doesn’t correct the issue:
> open Terminal
> type: fs_upgrade

If that fails; I suspect the SD card is bad. Or, the File system on the Ext partition is corrupt due to the SD card. fs_upgrade SHOULD’VE repaired if it’s a Software issue.
NOT all SD cards are made the same. SanDisk & Transcend are reputable SD Co’s. Try a new one…
If that fails, post results AFTER you’ve tried the above

Cheers

I followed all of the steps to get myself up to speed with 4.1.999 on Friday. Everything went smoothly, running well, no problems. UNTIL…two days ago. All of the sudden, at least two times a day, my desktop icons completely disappear. Once I reboot, they’re back, but after 12 hours or so of use, they’re once again gone. Any idea what may be causing this?

I swapped steps 1 and 2 around so I would already have the zips on my SD before turning off my phone.

For anyone interested I have an Australian HTC Dream (Optus) that I had already rooted (ages ago) with JF’s mod and Hard SPL.

My G1 reloaded great now, didnt need to wipe or reflash to 4.1.99

Thanks AndroidUsr, thanks all.

I go to console. And is says press enter. I do and you are correct the “#” sign does show and that is when I type “fix_permissions” and lots of words flash by then another “#” apears. I then type reboot. It reboots and problem not solved

When in Console, I’m assuming you’re hitting the ENTER key prior to typing: su?
By hitting the ENTER key, you bring up a ‘#’ prompt. Thats when to typr: fix_permissions… FYI

Super Usr/Root or su, are identical. But, one is a Command-su, and the other is an Administrative Power. Administrator is an analogue if you come from the *indows World.

> reboot into Recovery – Home+Power
> Console (Alt+X)
> type: fix_permissions

post back w/ results plz

I still can open the market or use gmail. Super user us when you select “go to console” with the trackball under the reboot menu right? And I do have root access so a little confused. Thanks hope to hear from you soon
