So im not really new to the forums, i just dont post as i leave all the intelligent thinking to the guys who know the ins and outs of flashing. But right now Im really frustrted because i have 2 problems.
1. My Volume buttons on my phone DO NOT WORK AT ALL.
2. Since I need to return my phone to the store I got it from, i havent been able to flash back to my stock rom, all i get is a 0% reading on the progress bar, and then a 262 error.
So now i cant use my usual way of flashing because my buttons dont work, so this whole flash with pc thing is just the biggest pain in my ass ever.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!

Help help help...i just finished intalling duttys new leo 7 rom,now after restart my phone freezes on the 'smart mobility screen' i cant do anything more...i tried reset nothing.How do i get it to work please?
Have you followed the proper flashing procedure as explained here ?
Follow that guide and flash your phone again, it should be OK.
sounds like a bad flash, don't be scared it's quite simple.
if you are using the SD Card method, copy the file blacimg.nbh again to your card and flash again. or use anyother method.
i suggest that the safest way is the SD Card but make sure you have enough battery charge before you start
Has this been resolved?
Looks like it. He's posting in the radio rom thread today. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4862959&postcount=749
Lock plz.
it is specific to R7
I had the same problem with this R7.
To solve this i put the device in BootLoader mode and flash again.
But few times after the phone froze again and stuck. No way to make it boot cause it didn't go further than SmartMobility screen.
So i flashed a new rom to move from this scaring malfunction.
that is annoying cause this rom is very very pleasant and well optimized

Ok after countless searches on Google, and on here, with no help at all...I am making a thread. I decided a few days ago that since my phone ran terrible no matter what rom i used, that maybe the person who rooted it screwed it up. I decided to go back to stock, then back to root, then back to the rom, well somewhere i messed everything up. I had everything going good, but then flashed a bad .nbh from what i understand, got that all good now that i have a sd card adapter, now i have rc29 installed and running. When i try to use adb since i have no 3g and need wifi, it keeps saying cant find device, even tho i have used adb in the past just fine, and <enter>reboot<enter> does restart my phone. So i thought maybe its a spl error, i dled danger spl (newest from what my search found) but every time i go to recovery and try to flash update.zip i get errors. So i tried flashing the orig. just to see if it was a bad dl. Same thing. Errors. Im getting really frustrated. If someone could please help me i would greatly appreciate it. my email is [email protected] or [email protected] send me a email if you need an invite to gwave, id rather talk on that. Thanks Guys.
You can't flash a new spl with a stock rom. Did you make sure you have the right drivers installed for RC29.

It sounds like you're back to a "stock" phone after using the RC29 downgrade, which is a pretty good thing for you at this point because the stock recovery image just saved you from bricking your phone, by not allowing you to use update.zip to flash the danger spl with the old radio that you have from installing RC29.
That being said, now that you're back on RC29 you're gonna want to follow the rooting procedure over again to install a custom recovery image and then you can go about flashing your new rom after that.
You can follow the guide in Cyanogen's Wiki, Skip the First section called Downgrading since you've already done that, and pick up on the next section called rooting
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
Thanks.. I did end up following that wiki, but the heart n sole of the problem this whole time was a bad usb cable, tried a diff. one and it worked..I feel like a jackass,,
Hello everyone,
I have a rooted g1 and I was putting on the 2.1 rom on my phone. I was following a guys instruction off of youtube but it totally messed my phone up. Now its stuck on the pitcure with the open box pointing a yellow arrow on the phone right next to it(the update screen), what do I do??? Thanks for your help.
You dont even have root then...If it shows what i think your taking about....You should follow this simple enough my little brother(7yr) could master it:

If you had root why did you flash the radio again?
That gives bricks applying radio after having root is pointless.

i dont know im a noob if you dont know by know. well is there anything i can do???

radio and spl?'
But you have to have a custom recovery image before you can flash either of those.

Ahh you might brick, you seem to have flashed the Radio made for HTC hero not G1....Notice the title: "How to get Android 2.1 on HTC Hero"
To use Hero 2.1 on G1 it shows it here @ XDA, you only needed Haykuro SPL and the 26I radio/
If rec mode is working then you arent brick or if you can get into bootloader.
how do i get in rec mode or bootloader
Hold down home when turning on the phone=recovery
Hold down camera button while powering on= bootloader
If you can't get into either one of those, likely bricked. I know with WM devices flashing a radio for another phone is one of the fastest ways to brick your phone, Android seems to be much more forgiving, so hopefully you will be lucky and if recovery and bootloader don't work, you can possibly get ADB to work.
If you don't figure out how to do this BEFORE you do it, you will likely brick your phone, if not sooner, soon enough. Doing it along with a video isn't enough to make sure you won't brick your phone.
Read through the steps of rooting, flashing a basic, stock ROM, do that a time or two, and then get into the more up-to-date stuff.
Your method of going about a new task is going to... well, it isn't going to work, unless you are really, really lucky.
Hi all,
I’m in desperate need of some of your wealth of experience, i have managed to root and flash my g1 with - rc9 JFv1.51_CRB43-EU.zip (Jesus freke), and recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2.img recovery image!. Now i want to update to a newer rom!
Now for the problem, the recovery program allows me to flash many of the rom's available but none of them work after the flash completes it just loads the g1 screen and stops there i have left it on that screen for about 10 min’s and nothing at all happens, but then it will allow me to flash back to rc9 JFv1.51_CRB43-EU.zip absolutely fine no issues every time?. Do i need to install anything else before updating to Open Eclare 2.1.1 or SuperD1103-blk.? I’m in the UK with a UK g1 mobile if that makes a difference?

Just use the top three wipes available in Anon's recovery menu: Wipe System/Data (1st), Davilk Cache (2nd), Ext Partition (3rd). If you haven't partitioned your SD card into FAT32, Ext2, 3, or 4 and Linux-Swap, do so now with the Recovery menu. You must backup your fat32 first, because a total repartition will totally blank your data. Good luck!

Make sure you partition your sd card and then try like the above said....or maybe try flashing death spl.

This is YOUR FAULT for NOT READING!!!!
You installed an SPL meant for an HTC MAGIC onto your HTC DREAM. It *CAN* be made to work, HOWEVER, you failed to read and understand what is required to actually do it safely.
SPECIFICALLY, you are stuck in boot mode 3 -- boot to recovery, and because you changed the SPL, your recovery partition is UNABLE TO BOOT.
You are BRICKED, and the only way out is to use a hardware interface called "JTAG", which requires you to disassemble the phone.
SPECIFICALLY:
You missed the part of that thread that says "MOD EDIT PLEASE READ THIS THREAD FOR UP TO DATE INFORMATION".
I have no sympathy for you. That instruction is in big purple letters.
hi thanks for your info, do you know anyone or anywhere i can get my phone jtagged?
How could you mess it up with step by step instructions....lol...I am being dead serious....it doesn't get more clear than this.
IMPORTANT: Before going any further make sure that you have PVT board. You can do this by rebooting your phone and holding the camera button. The first line should say "PVT" if you see "DVT" then DO NOT flash this because odds are you will get a brick but If it says "PVT" then you are good to go.
First you are going to need to download the latest radio and the SPL. both can be found here http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/ There is also a new radio that is compatible that can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640535
Prior to starting the installation process please make sure that your battery has a good charge. Also DO NOT pull your battery out at anytime during the installation process. I know it seems like common sense but I read a thread where someone had pulled their battery in the middle of the installation process and they ended up with a brick.
Now that all that's out of the way lets get started!
1. Copy "ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip" or "G1-radio-2_22_23_02.zip" and "spl-signed.zip" onto the root of your SD card.
2. Reboot into recovery. I suggest using the RA-dream recovery you can download it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669
3. Wipe your phone "factory data reset" (this step isnt really necessary since your phone is wiped after flashing the SPL but I always like to wipe before flashing anything)
DO NOT SKIP THIS NEXT STEP OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE
You must have the latest radio "2_22_19_26I" or "2_22_23_02" to flash this SPL if you already have the latest radio you should not have to flash it again but it will not hurt if you do flash it again. When in doubt flash it anyway.
4. Flash the Radio "ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip" or "G1-radio-2_22_23_02.zip" it will install and then it will ask you to reboot to finish the installation, so reboot, it will then finish installing and then reboot back into recovery.
5. Flash the SPL "spl-signed.zip" it will install and then ask you to reboot to finish the installation, so reboot, it will then finish installing and reboot into recovery so you can flash your ROM
i cant get in to fast boot or recovery i just get the g1 screen, if i press camera and power or if i press home and power i just get the g1 nothing else

Did you follow those steps when flashing the SPL? Did you even flash the radio before flashing the SPL?
It sounds like you have no idea what you did to your phone which is never a good sign (and usually means you shouldn't even be flashing custom radios/spl's/roms)
no i did not, i was asking for help for the last 2 or 3 days? i did what i thought was right but it was not. can i fix it or not?

Sigh....I would go buy another phone off Craigslist or something similar.
Next time...please read before flashing....Although I'm sure you will after the last mishap.
the only way to fix your phone is to buy a doner phone with a broken screen or something cheap off of ebay
there is NO KNOWN WAY to fix it without a doner (the jtag method isnt do-able yet)
I know here in town...there are so many G1's up for sale around the $150 mark in really really nice condition.
That's where I'd be looking if I bricked my G1. Well...I'd be replacing it with a HD2 probably...lol

as far as i can see the jtag is still in testing?
This noob is in the UK anyways. Let him figure it out.
Wrong section, soft bricked his own phone and freaking out.
Please READ. You are from the UK so your English isn't bad. You have no excuse for not following instructions.
Ways to fix your phone:
1) motherboard replacement
2) JTAG (experts are not anywhere near you though)
3) buy a new phone

Okay, story from the beginning, I haven't changed my ROM in awhile because I was really satisfied with the 826x (which I highly recommend people try ) Now I started to get some keyboard issues (the whole space bar, period, etc etc buttons). So I called to get it sent in to repair, therefore I thought I should revert back to stock rom and stock spl. SO. ha. see here. I sort of renamed the stock spl to kovsimg.nbh and flashed it through my SD card, right after I had already flashed my backed up stock rom. The stock rom went through, my x1 started up and everything was back to old again ....Then I did that...and *face palm* idk why I did that, maybe cause I panicked since it wasent working through RUU so I just did that stupid move. NOW. At first my x1 was always in the tricolor bootloader. With "complete update ROM" message, I tried everything and somehow I got it to get regular bootloader with no message, but when I try and start it up, I get a blank white screen. When i try to flash the stock rom on it, it would go past loading into 0% and nothing. I don't know what to do? Please help? I used mtty, SD card, RUU, trying SEUS right now...But so far everything I can think of isn't working. Might I get some advice please?
EDIT:
ah. SEUS worked . Well it only took me 8 hours to solve my [very troublesome hard to fix] problems I had with this phone today....><
