Hi all,
Can someone please help me flash my SPL back to the original?
Thing is, the phone doesn't do USB anymore, so I need to send it back. I've flashed the ROM back to the stock image using the flash from internal storage method, but even though it seems to accept the same method for flashing the boot loader (SPL?) it still says 1.40Olinex :S I've tried with 1.93 and 1.37.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers

Okay i am fully aware of how a forum works and how much i am going to get flamed for this. I really need to go to bed and it would be nice to not have to go find a new phone tomorrow.
I installed JFv1.41 perfectly fine, had the root running etc.
I went to install a Theme, i ran the update.zip...now my phone just gets stuck on the TMOBILE G1 screen...not the flashing droid.
I can boot into Home+Power and into Camera+Power
i have HARD SPL on my root, but it is named update_OG is there anyway i can execute that to fix my problem?
Thanks

please can anyone help. Do i need to get a SD card reader and put a recover.img on it...i deleted it on accident because i am anuberchaun.
was the theme made for JF 1.41?
If not, that's why you are hanging on the screen.
What recovery do you have? Can you enable UMS from your recovery? If so, you can just copy a new rom and flash it.
If not, you need a memory card reader and put a new rom on it, then flash.
You are going to need to wipe obviously. I hope that goes without saying.
You should also condsider updating to a newer rom. You are still on RC33 with that I believe. Find a donut rom, like Dwang's. I would recommend you get the new Cyanogen, but that involves flashing more than one thing at a time, and I don't know if you will be able to do that without messing it up... No offense.
Okay so in my HARD SPL on boot, it says no IMAGE file. I have manually uploaded a image file to my SD's root folder. Why wont it see it?
Okay, im in deep. Last resort. Trying to reflash to rc29...only problem is it says not signature on 3 files. I definitely lost root. I using the stock rc29 though why wont it work? Maybe i have the wrong rc29 can anyone help?
Why would you flash a rom in fastboot? You were supposed to do it in your recovery. That's where you went wrong. You say you have rc29 now? Just reroot the phone then.
i cannot re root the phone because it will not get past the flash screen.
i didn't re-flash from fastboot, i did it in recovery. Ive tried re flashing a few times now. I am running jf v1.4 i can not go to any original rom, i also cannot find a DL for a OEM rom. I am trying to reflash to rc29 using the link found in at (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480) the DREAMIMG.nbh file. I was assuming that was a stock ROM, but when i try to reflash to that it says 3 files (no signature)....i was under the impression stock ROM's did not require ROOT access to flash.
i have also tried rc27
FIXED
everything i needed was right here.

So I was running OpenEclair v1.1.1, and since putting eclair on it, I've been unable to flash to any other rom. It goes through the wipe/install process, but when the device reboots I just get the rogers screen forever. I can then go back into recovery and re-flash OpenEclair to get it working again. I just got through all that hassle with rogers and made it out with my data and my root, so I was now attempting to fix this issue, and figured it couldn't hurt to upgrade my radio and try out amon ra's 1.5.2R image.
Unfortunately, I downgraded the SPL to 1.33.0009 right after trying to flash another ROM which didn't work, and performed the downgrade before I put a working ROM back on it (to use flashrec to get to amenra's), so at present I can only get into the SPL. My cyanogen1.4 recovery seems to be gone as I just get the original triangle ! logo (no menu or anything) when trying to start up in recovery mode.
Now what did I do, and how far back do I need to dig through tutorials to get back to a working rooted ROM? I'm not really sure what point I'm actually at, whether I still have root or not, or where to start.

Have you got a fastboot mode you can boot into? At least then you could fastboot boot a (non-peristent) recovery image to let you then restore from a nandroid backup...assuming you have some good backups either on the phone or on a PC that can be copied to the phone.
I should note you haven't said what kind of phone you have (G1 or Magic) or really provided anything resembling a complete set of relevant information about your phone and its current state. So it's hard to help.....even if this was the right forum...and it isn't.
Try formatting or using a new memory card.
I'm using a rogers Dream, I have a 2gb SD card with 32MB linux swap and 500MB ext3
HAD 1.33.2005 SPL, 1.4 cyanogen recovery image.
Now I have 1.33.0090, can't get into recovery.
Trying to boot normally brings me to a rogers screen.
I CAN get into fastboot, can I put cyanogen's recovery back on?
Sorry if this is the wrong forum, where should I have posted?
Also, I don't know what information IS relevant to this, so please bear with my noobness.
Is there a recovery that will let me flash a ROM without changing the SPL back to 2005? Apparently if I can get the phone to boot up I should be able to use flashrec to upgrade the radio and SPL from the point I'm currently at.
Moved as not Android Development.
So I'm not sure what I did but the phone boots now...
Holy sh** it wasn't just me. I have this SAME problem. After flashing eclair and wiping and flashing another ROM it just stays at my splashscreen FOREVER. Even broke my nandroid, so I can't restore. How I fix mine everytime: Flash a rom OVER open eclair boot up... you'll probably get a sht load of force closes and all that but once you ge tto login screen just reboot into recovery and wipe and flash or nandroid restore then it should work.
If you guys are rogers, then you will most likely be ebi1, in which case, dont forget that you must also flash an ebi1 kernal to get past the boot screen.
So the phone booted into the original 1.5, I didnt realize the downgrade of my SPL flashed the ROM too. I put flashrec on and flashed Amen Ra's new recovery image and the rogers radio update, this is what I'm at now.

Trying to flash to a custom rom again still fails. I've tried cyanogenmod, super D, and openEclair, it doesn't seem to matter. Where can I get an ebi1 kernel to flash?
E: looking at your signature, it seems I've got the right radio, I'll try using that port tool.
That did the trick! I followed the steps in your signature, flashed a rom, then flashed the ebi1 kernel and my phone booted like a dream. Pun intended.
Edit: So I'm back to only being able to run openeclair. Flashing cyanogen and then briancrook's ebi1 kernel still only gives me the rogers screen. I am however able to flash back to openEclair to get access to a working device again.
Edit: openEclair is running like garbage, it keeps completely locking up the device, I haven't even been able to log into my gmail account to get my contacts back.
Okay, I've managed to get the rom running smoothly by wiping everything, flashing the non-ramhack version of openEclair 1.2.2, then flashing the 1.2.2 ebi1 kernel. Unfortunately for some reason when I do get into eclair, I have no phone app, no settings, and no contacts app, even tho the contacts still work if i try to message someone. This is infuriating.
Right i WAS running froyo by lazlo but after i flashed it my SD card slot wouldn't work so i tried to flash DREAMteam Froyo and got this message - sh: /sbin/postrecoveryboot.sh: not found.
thats all i get and then i get the '!' on my G1 screen, can somebody help me out with this?
the triangle with the !, sounds like stock recovery, i think you need to reflash recovery. probably through fastboot. if you have the 1.33.0013d spl you will need the orange.nbh flashed through hboot. then from fastboot flash recovery, radio, spl. then go into recovery and flash rom of choice. i assume your sd card registers on a computer? if it dosent register in hboot you may be sol

yeah i have now done all that and flashed a new rom but its still not reading any SD cards!
how did you flash your new rom? in recovery? does recovery see your sd card?
Sometimes I encounter the same situation just like you! but when I restart to recovery ,it OK,I'm confused！ and if you restart your phone ,and SD still can't work,I suggest you format your SD card
Hi everyone,
I've stupidly managed to bootloop my phone and need a little help sorting it out if possible.
I have been following the guides to install the custom roms and have no idea where I messed up.
I have 2 roms on my internal sd card (OrDroid and Maximus7) I have tried manually flashing the boot.img for each individually before installing the rom through recovery, but both result in the phone getting stuck on the boot up screen.
Is there a way I can put another rom on the internal sd card to try and get that working? The phone doesn't show up on the PC.
Thanks for any help!!

I managed to sideload a ROM and get the phone out of bootloop. I now have no signal though. (When there definitely is some as my wife is with the same carrier)
At least from here I can load a new ROM/Kernel to the phone.
Is there a Stock ROM for the M7 somewhere?
I saw this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158763
but couldn't work out how to restore my phone back to a factory ROM?
-Mike
hey guys,
i got a problem with my m7. yesterday i flashed the current gpe firmware for the m7 (that one without stock recovery & boot img). i read in the lineage thread that the rom benefits from it in terms of battery endurance, so wanted to give it a try.
the firmware flash process was done without any problems. i entered the recovery (twrp 3.0.0-2) and i wiped everything except usb-otg. twrp showed me that every partition was wiped successfully. i plugged in my usb cable to copy the lineage rom and gapps on the phone, but then i noticed that it somehow didnt work. i checked the internal storage of my phone and noticed that all the files i "successfully" wiped before still were there.
i flashed back to the firmware i had before (7.19.401.51 without modifications etc.) because i hoped it would give me access to the internal storage but unfortunately the problem remained the same.
now i cant copy anything on the phone to flash some new roms and stuff and i cant use it because theres no rom installed.
guys please help me if you can i really appreciate it! (sry for any mistakes im not a native english speaker)
Maybe flash latest version of twrp might help you? https://dl.twrp.me/m7univ/
hey mate,
somehow i managed to bring my phone back to life. i dont know if it has anything to do with the newest twrp but im very happy that it works. thank you for your help!
