I just started compiling my own G1 images ... I encountered an additional problem during step 5 (Building for Dream): Problem: adb (invoked by the extract-files.sh script) cannot connect to G1 on Ubuntu 8.04 (newer Ubuntu versions also seem to experience this problem) Fix: 1) 'sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/50-android.rules' For Gusty and Hardy, edit the file to read: SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666" For Dapper, edit the file to read: SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666" 2) 'sudo chmod a+rx /etc/udev/rules.d/50-android.rules' 3) reconnect G1 via USB 4) test via 'adb devices'; your G1 should be listed now 5) rerun the extract-files.sh script Cheers, Markus Thanks Krishnan, very helpful.

I encountered an additional problem during step 5 (Building for Dream):

Problem: adb (invoked by the extract-files.sh script) cannot connect to G1 on Ubuntu 8.04 (newer Ubuntu versions also seem to experience this problem)

Fix:

1) ’sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/50-android.rules’

For Gusty and Hardy, edit the file to read:

SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”0bb4″, MODE=”0666″

For Dapper, edit the file to read:

SUBSYSTEM==”usb_device”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”0bb4″, MODE=”0666″

2) ’sudo chmod a+rx /etc/udev/rules.d/50-android.rules’

3) reconnect G1 via USB

4) test via ‘adb devices’; your G1 should be listed now

5) rerun the extract-files.sh script

Cheers,

Markus

If you don't see the words “fastboot” but “serial” in the screen with the skateboarding androids you can push the back button until it says “fastboot”.
