ok so ive discovered i didnt brick my phone..i did a reset and now its on the tri-color boot loader menu...i plugged it into my usb and it says usb down on the bottom left...now i wanna install a different rom...i was thinking about the basic t-mobile one from their website because i just want my phone to work again my front buttons dont work with this rom ive installed from one of you guys on this forum...it runs pretty slow for being the kinda phone it is( my old non-updated rom ran faster) so what are some suggestions for me to do? Currently my phone is in front of me ready for anything you guys can tell me to do...oh yea and when i tried installing a rom from exlencin or whoever and it is acting like theres nothing connected when its trying the first part of the installation on a windows command processor screen...so what im getting at is im ready to try anything at this point because i went from my trusty wizard to a ****ty old motorola flip phone and i take it most of you guys have some type of phone like the wizard or the wizard itself so you all know how im feeling about the downgrade!!! Thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to help me with my problems i know i sound like a noob

What OS are you running?
I had to use XP to unlock my phone. If all else fails, you should have a 1 year manufactures warranty on the phone. Just call them and say this thing 'just stopped working' and cross your fingers.
running xp.. the warranty it void... if anyone has any idea.. PLEASE HELP!! :'(

You are first going to have to determine if your phone is truly unlocked.
I am not sure that you phone is bricked. But it does sound like you are going to have to be creative to undo what you have done. If you are able I would suggest flashing hardSPL via SD. Please go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835

One step at a time. You might have to get a card reader to load the microsd, they make adapters for them to fit a standard SD slot, plug it into your USB and load into it.
yeah.. i happened to lose my adapter as soon as i need it.. i have a hermes. can i run the software through that???
thanks

you should be able to load the software onto your SD card via the hermes. Once have done this you can then move the SD card over to your tilt and go from there. It's very important that you take your time and read the instructions. This is one time that you dont want to rush through them.
ok so i tried to follow the microSD card flashing method.. i dragged and droped the nbh file ( it was renamed) to the card.. put it in my kaiser.. held power button and camera button.. went to the tri coloured screen for about 2 seonds now its got a white screen just saying "Loading..." does this just mean its loading the rom??
thanks
an hour and half later.. still the same screen... is this phone bricked...?

ITS NOT BRICKED!!! If you are seeing any screen at all it is not bricked. if the rom is not flashing or having trouble, double check the hardspl. And lastly, when was the last time you wiped?
I just got a new g1 and i was rooting it but forgot to install the new spl before flashing a build so i flashed the build and got a "cant symlink" error.
After that i figured out it was the spl so i flashed the new spl and it installed fine but when it said press home+back to reboot i just took out the battery...
Now I have to tried to boot the phone into recovery with home+power and camera+power and it still just remains on the g1 screen!
Please help!
Cant SYMLINK
First of all did you install the radio first? AND THEN THE SPL? or did u just install the SPL?
If you only installed the SPL then youre pretty much f****d and you need to go get a replacement device.
If you installed the radio first then the SPL then you should be ok just go back to recovery and reflash RADIO THEN SPL u can get them [here], but from what youre saying thats not the case.
If you do have to go to get a new device, it is free **at least mine was** I just said that i plugged it in the night before, it had been getting really hot and that when i woke up that morning it just wouldnt turn back on past the G1 boot screen. if you just got it you will be able to get away with saying "the phone said there was an update available, i downloaded the update and now it wont go past this screen" play it dumb and you should be ok.
Good luck, im hopin for the best, it sucks to have a brick lol i been there done that.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS LOAD ANOTHER ROM ON YOUR SD CARD, PULL THE BATTERY, GO INTO RECOVERY, WIPE, AND APPLY THE ROM! that is assuming you can get into recovery?
If you can't get into recovery sounds like another brick in the wall.

LOL. Good one
sounds like a brick
i just re-read what you wrote and yeah..sounds like a brick. spl's are tricky mo-fo's. maybe next time you will remember it goes RADIO, THEN NEW SPL?!

Im pretty sure i flashed the radio first but i forgot the spl and flashed the rom next... then i realized i didnt flash the spl and tried to flash it and it "successfully installed the update" so i pulled the battery out to reboot it and it just stuck at the g1 screen when i booted it... and no button combos worked to get into boot loader or anything like that...
but i called tmobile and they are sending me a new phone on tuesday lol
i dunno if i want to try it again =/
i thought i read somewhere that the newer phones brick easier? because of the new "board" or something
so do i

you thought the best way to reboot your phone...was by pulling the battery? even though the recovery said reboot by pressing Home+Back keys to do it, which would be infinately easier? Have you ever "rebooted" your PC by pulling the power cord? nvm dont answer that....
I would suggest you stay the hell away from the spl until you understand wtf your doing.
rebooting PROPERLY would have allowed the image to be written properly.
EDIT: LOL wow nvm this is a thread brought back from the dead......
hey guys, few days back i strung the courage torgether to flash rom.
everything was going well till i noticed that my xperia was updating the rom and seemed to take forever to load the rom.
at present it switches itself on and off and says continuing to update rom and then a white screen with blue text says loading.
I need to find a solution to this as if i tell my dad that the device is cooked im in deep, and i also do not have insurance of which was a dull thing.
so please any suggestions and tips whould be much appriciated ty. x
I am no expert. But have you HardSPL your phone before flashing the ROM? That is a requirement.
For the current prob, I can imagine taking out your SDcard (if you are using card method) should stop it from reading the image. You prob have to hard reset the device for it to boot properly.
hey thanks for reply,
Iv tried removing the sd card but to no evail, when i do this the xperia is stuck at the bootload mode and says continuing to update rom, my battery has drained so i cnt switch the phone on, it has to be dne when on the charger.
and a hard rest does nt work.
Did you HardSPL? If not, you will need to do that first.
Anyway found few threads on it.

yes sorry i didnt metion, yer i did hardspl, and i just tried hard restting and nothing happend the screen stayed on bootload and then few seconds later went to loading please wait . . . ?,
Just bought this rooted phone and dont know much but did alot of research before and after getting it.
Ok so i have jesusfreke v1.42 (says so in recovery state so im guessing thats what i got)
I decided to download a theme because when i bought the phone it had this ugly xbox theme on it and i wanted to change it. I looked up some themes and liked the blue star theme i found on this site. I downloaded it copied it to my sd card renamed it update and i restarted the phone in recovery mode. At first i didn't wipe the phone i just installed the update and waited about 20min nothing happened. The screen would load G1 then go to a blank screen. So i looked some stuff up and i tried again this time wiping the phone with alt w before i installed the update. Same thing.. I downloaded the rc33 jf v1.42 theme for the blue star i just dont know what to do as im new to this root thing. I did some more research and i came across someone saying to reflash the rom and try again. I dont know the process of reflashing the rom can i just download the file and name it update and install in recovery or do i need to wipe the phone? will i have to redo the hardspl thing ive been reading about? also why did the theme not work is it because im using a blank sd card that didn't come with the rooted phone. I know seems like alot of questions i dont know wtf im doing and i been searching for hours and trying different things but im scared i might brick the phone so i decided to register and just ask already. Thanks for ur help Aloha
LMMFAOOOOOOOOOO.....
damn bro i laughed so hard at the jesus freke 1.42 cause tht was the first rom that i flashed ever on my g1 last year. but go HERE to my blogsite and follow those steps. ( NOTE THAT THOSE LINKS MOST LIKELY DONT WORK ANYMORE I JUST HAVENT FIXED EM BEEN LAZY)
BUT YOU CAN GET ALL FILES NEEDED HERE ON XDA OR BY GOOGLEING IT.
ENJOY AND I KNOW THIS WILL WORK FOR YOU.
is all that really necessary ive seen alot of pages that say to do less things for a rom does that have other stuff to optimize the g1 or something?
auurrriiitteee thing is cherry now i like the theme too =) thanks alot man i got everything all fixed up now i just need to get a new battery =( my battery is all swollen and dying out!
Menu > Settings > About Phone, what is the Mod Version and Firmware version ?
Also Power on holding the Camera button, what what do you get there ?
It helps to have this info, the recovery may be old, but the rom may be new.
Anyways, it would be worth updating the recovery, newer ones make almost everything automated
Urgh, cant delete and you were obviously getting the info you needed, so ignore me
