HELP

My phone is stuck in the lil rainbow fastboot i guess screen. but i dont have a correct update.zip in my SD card. I cant restart my phone, what do i do?

Pull the battery and restart?

tried that. just goes back to the red green and blue

Isn't it CALL+MENU+END?

How did you get your phone stuck in the spl? Did you try to flash it? If not, check to see if the camera button is stuck against the casing.
If the camera button isnt stuck, you'll have to remove the microsd and write the DREAIMG.NBH file using a card reader.

Download this: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EMY1HIVU
Extract the DREAMIMG.nbh file to your SD card
Power off G1
Hold Camera button, and press Power button to entry bootloader mode.
You should see a gray/white screen with instructions to flash your phone with the update on your SD card.
Press the Power button to start upgrade procedure.
Wait till completely finished.
Restart your phone.
Go here http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=OTA_Updates for RC-30, RC-33 official updates.

thanks, thats exactly what i thought i needed to do, i just need to find a card reader to use... i can go straight to JF 1.5 right? cuz thats what i was running before. The story is that i tried to do a nandroid recovery from my computer and I dont know what happened after that.

after loading up the dream files can i just do the regular update to JF 1.5?

I believe so, I'm picky so I always do JF-30, then JF-33, then JF-1.5 just to be safe.....for me.

it didnt work, it said something like there was no file? its just that dreaimg.nbh file right? i dont need to rename it to update.zip? or anything?

double post, see below. sorry.

try and reformat your sdcard first to FAT32, just as a precaution.
then extract the dreaimg.nbh file to the sdcard, don't rename it.
it should be like 89,419kb.
pull the battery just to be safe, pop battery back in.
make sure your holding the camera button down first, THEN press power, keep holding till the gray screen pops up.
when it say to, press the power button to start the update.
let it go, just sit back and wait till it says to press action button (trackball)

since i was on adp1.5 before this, should i just try to put in adp1.5?

No update.zip
Make sure that card is formatted FAT32, and that the DREAMIMG.nbh file is not actually DREAMIMG.nbh.nbh (right click>properties-----make sure that the file is DREAMIMG.nbh, not DREAMIMG.nbh.nbh). If thats been established, it should work.

srry I type slow

it just says no image file?

try placing the .nbh image on a different sd card and see if it gives you the same prompt.

i just dl'ed telnet... and it wont connect to host or something? WTeff?!

thanks guys, got it to work =]. I fried two SD cards trying though hahaha. oh well. lucky i use my spare 1gb SD cards for modding my phone.

Phone keeps disconnecting in mass storage mode

hi guys this is my first post on this forum although i have been browsing around for a few months. my problem is that whenever i connect my phone to my pc and mount it, the computer recognises it but whenever i try to add files to the SD card or format it, the phone disconnects and i have to mount it again. once i have mounted it, the whole process starts all over again and now im stuck in a position where i cant do anything with it.
has anyone had his problem before and is there a way to fix it or is my SD card faulty? thanks in advance.

Are you rooted? If so, what rom are you on? Just give us some specs on what you got.

no im not rooted, im on the oem android software. i was just about to format my SD card so i could start rooting it.

Is it the factory sd card? Do you got another card to try out? If not, try to format the card in the phone and then try it again to see if it still does the same thing.

yeah its a factory SD Card. itried formating it from the phone and now i can add files to the card but it still disconnects whenever i try to format it. is the card protected or something?

You cannot format it through the USB by mounting it

ok how do i do it then? should i just use a card reader? or is there another way to do it by using the phone? also thought i would add that it has started doing it when adding files to the card again.

You can put it in a card reader if you have one. I would boot into ubuntu and do it that way, also if you are in ubuntu you can do it through your phone.

The phone has an option too. Go to
Settings > SD and storage > Format Card
Since your stock G1, the other phone partitioning/formatting isnt available

ok thanks guys i formatted the SD crad uising the options on the phone, which now leaves me to my next problem. i have download the Rc7 file and placed it on he root of the card but i when i power on the phone holding down the camera phone it doesnt show the grey screen with the flashing options, it jus shows the screen which tells me the board type etc. am i doing something wrong? sorry for all the questions.

it doesnt have flashing options
press the power button (not hold, just press) and it should say that its flashing the image.
(look in the center of the screen, there should be a line of text that says something)
DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR PHONE TILL ITS DONE FLASHING

Btw just chiming in case it comes up as it did in the past. If you use Swapper app and have a swapfile image located in the fat32 area, it would cause DC issues or not connect right, back then it never hit me that the swapfile was being torn away from a system that was looking for it, which then gave me corrupt sd errors. (Granted it wasnt) but yea, just another thing to look out for to those using a image file still for swap.
Also how did your flashing go?

Oh I hope I'm okay....

did you install a rom after you installed the new radio and SPL? if not you have to do that.

how can I if i can't boot then mount? do I need to take the sd card out and get a reader? then browse the sd card on a computer and put a new ROM in as update.zip?

exactly, I had to do the same thing when I updated to the new radio and spl. If you don't have a micro sd to sd then just go buy a new micro sd card and it will come with one.

Plug in your USB cable as normal, boot to recovery, go to the console and enter
Code:
ums_enable
to mount

So using a different phone the SDcard works? It maybe that the SDcard reader on the G1 is failing. I would try to use Paragon Partition Manager and see if that helps.

Nope, it'll only fix the SDcard. The SDcard reader on your G1 won't be affected. If it's broke, it's broke.

Not sure, I've heard people using fastboot or ADB but I've never had to do it. I'll look into it (for my own courisity) You should do the same (because it's your problem)
