<del>So I have been searching the forums for a couple hours trying to solve this problem
I flashed cyanogen 4.0.3 tonight and got my phone hung up at the g1 screen
i can get into the bootloader but not recovery...i followed the instructions to install adb but since my computer won't even detect the phone when it is plugged in i can't seem to use that to get to recovery
I am betting there is a simple solution to this but all of the solutions i have found thus far have involved using adb
I am sorry if this has come up alot and i fully understand the frustration of having to see an endless sea of the same question but i am honestly stuck</del>
Never mind I got it working
Alright here's what happened. I went to root my new G1, I started to follow the steps from the Unlockr but stopped halfway through cause i thought i was going in circles I had finished at "rooted" my phone when i looked in the "about phone" i thought for sure that i hadn't. So i went and did Androids world but when i did the first step my phone got stuck. I thought it was bricked but doing some reading think its soft bricked. But i don't know what to do, i cant get to the rainbow screen or the Home+Power screen only the G1 logo. What do i do?
did you flash the the spl and radio, and flash the right one first ?

Place your phone on a stack of papers and get a new one

I'm going to be real lazy and ask you to post links to the guides you used
I would google them myself , but busy and seeing as you have them in your internet history...
when is an url not an url?
when http is hteeteep
I will then have a look and see just what damage you may have done and if it can be undone
Hey guys its been a while since I've even tried to fix my phone cause everyone was saying its dead. But I've been reading stories of people coming back from the G1 logo. So i could really use your help.
Heres the problem, A while back I dropped my old G1 and had to get a new one. Upon looking for the video I used last time to root my phone, I couldn't find it. I searched high and low but to no avail. I figured any video would work as long as it rooted me. So I started up the video. however once i was "done" with it i noticed nothing had changed. So i figured the video was garbage and found another one and started it up. I know, STUPID. Well when i booted my phone after wiping and flashing. It stayed on the G1 logo. I knew the worst had happened. So now i don't know what to do. There have been one or two occasions that I've gotten it to boot loader. So i know i can get there. but what do i do when I get it?
Also, no, I never got to flashing raido's or anything like that. I thought I wasn't rooted so i didn't move on.
I know it was long but I'm getting all the info out there. Please help, I think its possible, and if it is I want my phone back!!!
What were you installing by the way?
EDIT: Made a mistake, thought you were able to boot into recovery.
He does not get to recovery, but into bootloader mode (cam + power on). This is good, as there is a good chance to recover from that.
Try the first section of this guide:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
You have to flash the correct dreamimg.nbh via bootloader. You might need a Goldcard to do so, in certain countries, but lets just hope that is not the case (would be more work...)

I think this thing just bricked my phone. I just flashed the 10 N bootstack and the H811 10 N Stock Rooted ROM (can be found at this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/rom-g4-h811-10n-stock-rooted-rom-t3188858to) my phone via TWRP. Flashed both files in the correct order. it said it was successfully installed. I selected reboot system. Then the phone shut off, but didn't reboot. Now it will no longer turn on. Tried removing the battery and putting it back in, but still no power. Nothing i do helps. It just wont turn on.
So is it bricked or is there some more stuff I can try. I have never bricked a phone and I've been modding phones since 2011. Even wrote a couple custom roms myself. So I know what I’m doing. But I guess there’s a first time for everything right lol.
Any ideas on how to fix this
Hello,
My pixel 4a 5g started bootlooping suddenly. I can go into fastboot but I can't do anything since I am having locked bootloader. Is there a way to unlock bootloader without booting into android? Else is there any other way to solve the problem! I tired factory reset option inside Recovery and also flashed OTA update using side load option but it didn't helped.
Don't bother with fastboot if all you want to do is a factory reset. Boot to Recovery and do a factory reset from there.

I already tried that but no luck. Still its going to boot loop.
Any help!
This happened to my Son's 4a5g about 3 weeks ago now. It just happened out of nowhere and likewise the bootloader was locked so couldn't use the flash tool. It would look like it went through the factory reset but right as it was about to get to the welcome screen it would bootloop again. I reported it to Google but as I predicted they just suggested taking it in to a repair shop and with it being out of warranty it would be a lost cause. Somehow, he kept force-rebooting the phone over and over (unbeknownst to me) and one day he got it to boot and got to the setup screen. 3 weeks later it is still going as if nothing happened. So weird. I think something may still be wrong with it somewhere but first thing I did as soon as he got it set back up is to turn on OEM unlocking in settings.

Update: 8/5/26. The bootlooping got more frequent and I'm pretty sure it's dead now. *Sigh*
