Boot problem after downgrading

Hi,
I am sorry if there is already a similar thread, but I couldnt find it.
I have a huge problem with my German T-Mobile G1. Today I wanted to root the system. I used the instructions on XDA forum and "successfully" did the downgrading to RC7 but now I cant power on the phone. It stops at loading screen with android text and logo. Nothing happens than.
I have tried with the wipe and manual update with next version of firmware using update.zip but problem is still here. My phone is now totally unusable and I can now just hope that here on this forum can someone help me.
Please give me an advice
edit: there is one more thing: I can not power of the phone without taking the battery out. It automatically turns on every time I put battery in and every time I restart. Switch off button does not work any more.

Is the usb cable plugged in everytime you pull the battery and reinsert it? Because if it is the usb cable automatically turns on your g1. Can you access recovery +/or bootloader?
Recovery = home+power
bootloader = camera+power
If you can't get pass the g1 screen by pressing either combination of buttons you are bricked. If you are bricked () Call your carrier and tell them that you got an OTA update and it never turned on since. They should replace your g1 with a new one

I dont use USB cable. I prepared the microSD card using the USB-reader dongle. But I had pluged the electric cable so that was probably the reason for automatic turning on. Ok, now we can focus on the main problem.
Yes, I can access both recovery and bootloadaer al least. As I said, I have tried with some updating but nothing worked yet. When I use recovery some of files give me message: E: No signature. E:Verification failed.
This thing with carrier could also be a problem. I bought my phone in a shop which is buying them in another country because G1 is not officially being sold in our county. They give me a guarantee but it is guarantee from the shop and not official importer, so there would probably be some problems.
Thanks for trying to help me. I hope with this informations it would be little easier.

Place the file on your sdcard again. Down load a fresh copy of the latest hacked RC and make sure (if you're on windows) to name it "update" not update.zip because the .zip is already assumed in windows. Once its on your sdcard wipe and flash it. See if that works.

Can I use hacked RC on G1 that has not been rooted yet - just now very successfully downgraded?

do You place on sd card file "dreaimg.nbh" and turn on the phone with camera button pressed ?

If your phone is CDMA (sprint/verizon) make sure you have a CDMA ROM (there arent very many available), if not try flashing the phone again from the rainbow screen (bootloader) you may want to download the ROM again too, some people have had bad downloads.

so i can redo it from rainbow screen

Yes Put your phone in boot loader ( rainbow screen) and reflash. Who is your cell carrier? If it is Verizon or sprint then get a CDMA rom, AT&T and T-Mobile get a GSM rom

its sprint
wen i tried it said that i dont have usb on, its not readin it

When you put it in boot loader then plug in your USB cord does it go from serial to usb on your phones screen? It may take a min for it to change

it says to follow the instruction on the pc to sync or sumthing like that
and restarts
and again on that TP2 screen and not doin anything

ok step by step.
1. uplug phone from pc
2. Pull out bat and put it back in
3. hold volume down to get to boot loader
4. plug in USB cable ( it should read on the last 1/3 of the screen near the bottom USB
5. Grab a CDMA rom from HERE or HERE
6. FLash the rom you got from step 5

i did that
but it doesnt do anything from the boot loader
just has all the micro stuff and numbers
but nothin in the usb part
i no i am a goof and it seems frustratin to u
but i appriciate or help

Its cool. IF you look at the last white part of the screen on the bottom you should see something that says SERIAL when no cord is plugged in or USB once it is plugged in
If you dont then we can try using the SD card method
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Rhodium Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh
4. Copy the RHODIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

yes it does say that
its on usb now
goin to try again

Why don't you take out your SD card and put it in your PC and drag and drop the verizon stock rom on the SD card...That would be just the nbh file...name it rhodimg.nbh then put the sd card back in and then put it into bootloader and flash it back that way?
Yea, just what zelendel instructed you to do....

this is the error
plz make sure its properly synced
plz retry after syncing

Once it is done then follow the last step and use the stylus to hit the rest button after removing the sd card and it should boot up full. Where did you get the rom?

Done Rooting Please help

Hello all,
can someone please help me?
i have done the guide of rooting here "How To Root The Sprint CDMA Hero" including backing up and save the nandroid file to pc.
i want to run the Fresh Rom and started to follow this thread from android forums.
androidforums.com/all-things-root-sprint-hero/38911-guide-root-rom-faq-tutorial.html
i ran the diagnostics fresh pre-kitchen 0.2 and got an error. all checked mark except java and sendkeys which i received a ? mark.
any help on why i get this?
thanks

Have you tried just flashing the rom? I spoke with someone who ran the diagnostic test and had question marks but he was still able to flash a rom. If you turn your phone off and hold the home button + the power button, you should get a black screen with green writing. If so, you are fine.

yes i do get that green screen.
so what should i do now? like how do i use the Fresh Rom
thanks

*edit..
not in the wiki clearly..
Pull the battery out... While holding your home key, Press power... Continue to hold home... Phone boots into recovery...
Scroll down to wipe... Wipe factory data, dalvik cache, wipe ext... Press back on phone..
Scroll to mount usb... And mount the sd to the computer..
On your computer... Navigate to where you downloaded the rom... Drag and Drop the entire folder onto the sd card...
Press home on your phone to get out of usb mode,
Scroll to flash zip from sd.. and select the rom zip..
It installs.. then reboot the phone..

Download the rom of your choice. Move the .zip onto the root (meaning dont put in any folders) of your SD Card. Turn phone off, hold home key + power button, select flash from sd, select the rom, hit the home key. Wait til it is finished and then reboot.

ok so i am downloading fresh 2.0b now.
no need to extract the file correct or should i extract it first before putting it on the sd card.
thanks

Do not extract the .zip. Just put it directly on the sd card.

Nope it install from the zip.
Now that you are looking into roms be very very very careful.
You can only install roms for the CDMA. There are roms for gsm phones and people screw up and brick their phone that way.
If you stay in this forum then you should be OK unless some asshole comes around.

don't worry about it, since you wiped, the black HTC screen will show up... let it do it's thing, it's a one time deal.
You are going to have to go through the setup process once it finishes loading

Can u go into bootloader? try pressing vol down +power and go into the recovery and flash a rom. I hope you are s-off and using a custom recovery.

Just put a flashable ROM into your SD card.
Then get into boot loader. (Volume down + Power button). Select Recovery. Then choose install from SD card and flash your ROM.
If you cant get into bootloader too then, the best way is to get it to a HTC Help center.

If they can't turn your phone on they might just decide that it's cheaper for them to replace your phone than to spend the money on the wage of an employee to repair it. But if they do replace the motherboard everything will be wiped so most likely you will be OK. However if somehow they boot your phone up without wiping anything you will be sent a bill for their efforts.

[Q] zenfone 4 a450cg is stuck on logo

hey my phone is stucked on logo and when i try flashing it via external SD card it gives error
Cant open/ chache/asus-bundle.zip(bad E:unable to copy multi-media package.please try again
what to do????

There would be an option in the recovery to check the zip files.. Pls check that..
Sent from my HTC 802d using Tapatalk

I made the same mistake on my zenfone 6. Unfortunately it is not possible to update the phone via SD card (external) you have to put the update file in the root of the internal memory and then update it. Currently you should be on a screen which says at the bottom that update failed and at the top there should be 3 or 4 options I believe, one option says to restart update another should say reboot phone another should say something about ADB and the last one should say wipe cache. You have to use the vol + and vol - buttons to navigate and the power button to select reboot phone. Your phone should restart and say update failed. if you are not at that screen then switch your phone off and while switching it on hold the vol+ and power button together to go into recovery mode. Once you are in recovery mode you may have to flash the update via ADB. There a few guides on the internet which can help you with that. Heres a link for one of them.
