Search, read and at minimum, provide us with some useful information!
How are we supposed to know what went wrong and where? I'm afraid 3 incomplete sentences and a funny ascii face isn't going to be enough to help you.
My apologies.....
Ok, I had just partitioned my SD card, and had put SPL on it in the fat32 part as update. Restarted the phone and installed the SPL. After that the phone restarted and now im stuck at splash. Tried both recovery methods...got nothing. I have a card reader, so i took the sd card, re-formatted it back to original state, and loaded the SPL and tried the PWR+Home/Cam and still nothing

Did you make sure you have a PVT board? Cause if you had a DVT-1 or DVT-2 board you're prob out of luck. You could have told by powering on with PWR + Camera, not that it helps you out any now...
Like you said, prolly doesnt help me now.....
Do a search for the HTC Dream repair guide in the Dev forum. Give it a look and you will notice in the pdf their is a link that takes you to an HTC webpage. Gain access to that page and you may be able to grab a copy of the much sought after Diagnostic Prog that HTC uses to trouble shoot.
The trouble is you need a user/pass to get the prog, and i havent been able to find one anywhere that still works. The search continues...
when you say power + camera does nothing...does it not turn on, or what exactly happens?
Turns on fine, just goes to the splash screen and thats it. I cant use any of the PWR+ commands
I can hold the 2 buttons for 15 minutes but the phone just sits at the splash screen

AH! Try hitting Alt+L and going to the recovery console. The splash screen times out after a while, and when it gives you the error message, Alt+L it, and maybe that will help.

Yeah, I hate to break it to you but you should have done a bit more reading before doing anything. There's tons of posts of people that bricked their phone that exact way. Either way, you're kind of stuck. There's a thread in the development forum about fixing the spl and phones bricked by H's SPL... you may want to read through that.
Hopefully you'll spend a little more time reading before jumping in next time. oh well, hind sight's 20/20 right?
AFAIK, there are no Pwr+Cam options...if it finds an image it flashes it.
OK, so I had some issues last week, and this is what I did...download the RC29.nbh (I believe the filename is DREAIMG.nbh...it was in the RC29 Zip file I downloaded.)...re-partition your SD card as fat32 using a windows computer (I tried a mac, and it did not work, but Linux seemed to...to be safe, just use windows.) Once it is partitioned as 1 partition, format it as fat32. Put the RC29 image on it, and do the power+cam boot up...it should boot up, and flash it back to RC29.
It is important that it be the right partition type, and only 1 partition.
Give it a shot, even if you have tried before...it took me a few tries to get all the info right.
Keys are (again): 1 partition that is fat32, and has the DREAIMG.nbh

Yessir, im on it!
From the sounds of it, he didn't flash the radio first before the spl...watch this thread to see if a solution becomes available.
Or you can call T-Mobile and ***** till they send you a new unit =P
which SPL? I just did my wifes phone with hardSPL, and flashed the radio after putting the SPL on...I didn't have any problems...it looks like the brick only happens on some new SPL...but to be honest, I can't keep up with all the builds that are out there, I am just sticking with the JF builds.
mm0
HardSPL i believe. Tried the solutions, still nothing
no idea then. When you boot with the power+home combo, what do you see then?
Also, could you give us a rundown of what is on the screen when you do the power+camera combo...also, what color is the screen (usually gray or rainbow).
mm0
I dont get anything but the "Tmobile-G1" splash screen thats it. No more, no less....

I've been waiting for hours for someone to help me and I searched and searched, I can't find any help!!! I have to go to work soon and I've been on this screen since 7:30AM EST!
Looks like I'm stuck at the boot loader screen and it goes back to it when I do a soft rest. I can't do a hard reset since I can't turn off the phone.
I think it's the bootloader screen.
Says RUUNBH on the top right corner and the screen is red, green, blue and white which these codes or whatever.
Took the battery out for a few and it went right back to that same screen.
Can someone help me bring back my Rhodium to stock???
EDIT: I might of posted this in the wrong section. Should this be in Rhodium General?
*UPDATE*
ark666 found the stock rom for T-Mobile HTC TP2 and I did a flash to get it back! Thank you so much ark666!!!
Flash stock rom.
I have no idea on how to do that, I searched how-to's but I can't find any full instructions or where to get the stock rom for T-Mobile HTC TP2.
This is the worse ever!!! Somebody please!!!
Isn't this the best site for things like this?
Try a manual hard reset? The instructions should be in your manual.
It says while the phone is off to HOLD SEND/END key with the power until the message comes up. The phone wont turn off unless I take out the battery for me to do a hard reset.
EDIT: I took the battery out then put it back in. The phone is now off, I hold the buttons and did the hard reset. It went right back to the boot loader screen.
hi,
what happend after you hard reset the device?
regards,
twisted
Asked me to press the VOL UP button to reboot. I did and it went right back to the boot loader screen. A flash happened on the screen when I try a soft reset and it says really quickly!..."NO IMG FILE" then it goes back to the 4 color screen.
EDIT: Image below on how my screen is since 7:30 AM EST!!!
on some device, active the RUU, connect it to PC & press soft reset button (the one in side the battery cover).
don't know if it help, just try that
good luck
Thanks for the reply, but that was the first thing I tried. Looks like I will have to go to work with no phone! This is crazy on how this can't be resolved.
Looks like you've basically erased the flash I'd say...
If you can get the t-mobile image, then try flashing that back to the device... If you connect a usb cable to your device, at the bottom, where it says serial it'll change to usb...
Or, if you have a goldcard, maybe try installing another image. But I'd say you're best to install the t-mobile image if you can get one?!
Ok so where can I get an image that will work on my phone? I also will need instructions on how to do it properly.

Where are you from? Can you find the rom on your tmobile site?
Or, creat a goldcard, copy the RHODIMG.nbh into the root of the card and try flashing that...?
As far as I know, your device is not bricked, you simply need your original supplier rom...
I replied to the PM (basically do set 16 0 command in mtty)
but I see your photo now - you have 0.85.1000 SPL? that's mfg SPL so if "set 16 0" did not help (you didn't describe what you did to the phone when this happened), you can just take any official rhodium ROM and flash it
sorry if I misread your photo... quite blurry
Ok that's my main problem that I've been having. Where can I get an official Rhodium ROM and how do I do a flash? I've been searching all morning.
And yes 0.85.1000, that's what it says on the screen.
I tried to this ROM...Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548546
Did the goldcard, but I think I did it wrong. I added the RHODIMG to the SD then tried to update my TP2. That's when I got an error saying it's not for PDA and how I need to update my utility.
I got the steps to do the goldcard correctly, I just want to take another shot at updating this ROM.

see my PM first, maybe set 16 0 will be enough.
is your SPL version really 0.85.1000? how did you get this phone? what happened when it got stuck on bootloader screen?
as for flashing, see xdadev wiki on rhodium.
Ok, will try what you PMed me. Brb!
It says 0.85.1000 on the screen so I guess so and I got it from T-Mobile. Ordered it through Customer Service.
post #15 has been updated to let you know what I was trying to do.

then the set 16 0 will work just fine
weird the rom didn't work though
I have just flashed the 6.5 rom which you flashed
It does change the spl to 0.85 and i have the exact the sameimage which you have shotted during the flash process. But the process of this rom's flashing has two stage, it will restart after first 10% and show up the image which you shotted and upload, and continue afterwards. i guess ur goldcard has the problem so it stops and stucked there. Try other sign roms would be a better solution.

Did you try downloading the dreaimg.nbh file again? Perhaps it was corrupted? Also, you did try to flash it from bootloader, right?
have you tried booting normally? and yeah, this is in the wrong section.
I responded to your other thread in the QA section (which is where it belongs).
You should try giving us more than 15 minutes before deciding that your problems are worth more than other people's and posting a second thread in this section. 7:30pm on a Wednesday night...? Yeah, people have families that they're with.

I'm actually not a dev..the most I've done is helped test out some ROMs before release or to test fixes for some problems.
Anyway, did the flash work this time?
Hey I have the same problem. Even if you do re-download the DREAIMG.nbh how could I get it onto my phone? I can't get the phone connected to my computer through the USB at all. Is there anyway at all to reverse this process? I've read that the Serial should read Serial0 unplugged and then SerialUSB when it's plugged in. But mine just stays Serial0. I'm on whits end, I don't know what to do or where to go. Could someone please help?
Also when I take out the battery and put it back in, the key board has to be open first before i turn it on to even get to the RUUNBH screen. When it's closed and I turn it on it just stays black and doesn't do anything. Do I just need to get a new phone? Would it be better to go to a T-Mobile store or just call technical support and have them send a new one?
Put the sd card into your pc(card reader), make sure its fat32 then put dreaimg.nbh file onto your sd card...
Simple right? Easier than driving in water.
T-Mobile G1 Just keeps Rebooting
Hi there i have a similar problem.
I was given a T-Mobile G1 but it just keeps rebooting.
It wont do a hard reset,
I have tried to reflash with DREAIMG.NBH (RC7) from microsd card Fat 32,
with this sequence & this is what happens
Press camera button while holding it down breifley press power button and release it, while still holding camera button.
Phone then starts into bootloader
then i release camera button
phone then shows white screen with
loading...
then
checking...
then above checking... in red numbers
0058002
then phone returns to bootloader.
I have attached a image of my bootloader can you tell me if the info on it is ok?
What does EVT1 etc etc etc mean?
And how to get this phone up & running again....Thanks....

The "EVT1 stuff" is just device info; like device name, 32B=board type, Radio=version of the Radio that connects you to the network.
I am concerned because the EVT1 should read DREA100 or DREA110. I think whoever gave it to you attempted something crazy and somehow put the wrong SPL on it. Download the correct SPL HERE and replace it then go from there. That should do the trick.

Hi mate thx for the advice.
I downloaded G1OrigBootloader_nocheck from your link and renamed to update.zip as the instructions suggested.
Made sure microsd is Fat32 copied update.zip to it.
Inserted into G1 put the battery back in.
Held down Home Button and Power Button for about 2 mins but all i get on the screen is BLACK SCREEN!!!! grrrr....
So it also seems i cant get in to Recovery Console either.
Is there another way to replace the SPL?
Started to root the phone went back to 1.5, worked fine, applied FlashRec.apk and Amon Ra’s Recovery Image installed all that correctly worked fine. Went to install a new radio and spl and applied spl and when i go to start the phone it gets stuck at the G1 boot screen. Tried to book into recovery mode nothing happens , tried to hard & soft reset nothing happens. Phone just stays stuck at the G1 left it on for an hour and still nothing. Please help in any way or ask for more info if need.
Thanks in advance.
if you flashed the danger spl before flashing the new radio, your phone got permanent brick and cannot be solved without JTAG or changing the motherboard.
OK- I have the same problem, except I flashed the wrong radio.
(I thought I needed to update it for a different ROM, but.)
No fastboot, no recovery-- If I hold down the trackball, the screen wont come on, but the blue LED does. Is that useful to me at all??
Can JTAG help me? or is there another way?
I was reading about mtty-- but i'm not sure if that'll work for my G1.
Anything to unbrick this--- I really need my phone for finals week which started to-day.
JTAG is your only option.

MTTY is just a program to talk to the serial port; it is actually part of the JTAG solution as well .. but as mentioned it will not help you at this point in time.

JTAG.. but unless you live near me or one of the very very few others who are set up for jtag hacks.. and that person is confident enough not to make the main board of the phone one big solder blob [I am but I'm not sure if some of the others I've heard poke JTAG are as confident].. it will take you a large chunk of time to learn what is needed to make it work.. or longer than the finals in the mail.
Thus I recommend.. get a cheap phone at the stand at the mall.. and pass your finals before worrying about the brick.
Since everyone who has caused a brick has either (1) not properly followed the directions and warnings.. or (2) did something in haste missing an important step; it will be no good to race it together during finals.
this dream was sent to my friend as a replacement

Odd, the nbh files usually flash a full system.. thus while they might leave you with a rom you don't wish to have they usually will boot afterwards. You did let it fully flash all the partitions correct?
What nbh did you find/flash?
And. Can you still enter the spl or recovery.

what can i do with this thing?

i refuse to lose
well only bootloader means nothing. you cold be getting a bad .nbh and the recovery partition could have something nasty on it. both of those not working doesn't automatically make it a brick. a working bootloader says everything is ok.
set up fastboot and fastboot a new recovery image.
then see if your recovery works. next time i don't respond, feel free to pm me again, lol. i really have a hard time keeping up with where i post.
of course: you can also fastboot a new spl:
http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/downloads/list?q=label:SPL
I recommend:
EngBootloader_v2_NoSigCheck.zip
That way you don't have to mess with that nasty danger spl and then you actually will be bricked.
hi,
my friend tried to root his g1 and somehow he got it stuck on the bootloader screen. It just stays there and does nothing.
I have no clue what to do and he let me have the phone.

Thank you, i will check it out.
your welcome. anymore help just ask. there's a lot of people here on XDA that would be gladly to help out. Some of them have great experience with the G1 and many others android phones. if that file don't work for you, this one will truly work its the one i use if i get into any trouble like your self, i been there. sometimes its stays on booting and this don't work i use this one.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EMY1HIVU and just follow the same direction as the last site i gave you.
For some reason i cant get into boot loader mode... any ideas?
did you press camera button and power button just like that. fist step camera button second step power button at same time. but before you do this phone needs to be off to get into boot loader mode. you need to place the image on the root of the sdcard thats in no folder at all, in the root of the sdcard.
What i did is i pulled out the battery, put the sd card in and then put the battery back in. Next I held down the camera key and then I pushed the power button. I have not let go.
sould i let go next time?
this is what you suppost to follow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckbsFRnVciE . tell me something can your phone power on the g1 boot screen. can you tried for me power and home and tell me what you see. thanks.
It will not do anything. it is just stuck on the g1 screen.
I asked my friend what he used and he said Anon recovery rom and hard spl
probably the phone is bricked. write every single step you remember you took on trying to root your phone maybe i can get something out from there. its hard to brick one of this phones. to use amon recovery and hard spl your phone need to be downgraded with rc29 by using the file in the website i posted.

He said he did not downgrade it. he went straight to the spl and this is what happened.
he needed to downgrade the phone from stock before doing those steps. it aint that easy. probably he bricked the phone somehow.

He could not have flashed the spl straight onto a stock phone.. He's leaving something out, probably in the full knowledge that he did something stupid.
Anyway, if you can't get into bootloader with cam+power of recovery with home+power, it's a brick. JTAG it if you're comfortable with that or if not, sell it to someone who is.
then mines possibly bricked! maaan this is such BS. i accidentally installed the wrong recovery image, then figured I redo everything again. I got it working again, downgraded to RC29 and flashed Amon Ra 1.7.0 image. After that I got too excited, I went straight ahead and flashed hard spl and complete Eclair rom right away. Then poof, stuck on g1 screen. Still is now, possibly brick right?

You should've updated the radio before trying to run eclair, but that wouldn't cause a brick. Can't you get to recovery or bootloader?

Before this happen I can, but now I'm stuck on the g1 screen. I left it on all night and nothing. I still can't get into recovery nor bootloader. Any other suggestions? So tired too of staying up all night reading trying to figure this out
(Rogers HTC Dream)
Ok, so, i know this sounds ridiculous, and you may find yourself asking "WTF Was He Thinking?!?!?" But, was a late night, and i was quite possibly half asleep lol...
Ok, so, long story short, i have tried possibly every rom for the Rogers Dream, and majority of them didn't work for me, or atleast, if they did, not that well.... Cyanogenmod 6 worked ok, although it started to get slow pretty fast :/ Anyways, i had previously rooted and flashed my dream with the steps provided on cyanogen's wiki, but i had never updated the kernel or anything, so, i came to the conclusion that it was possibly my kernel that was un-allowing me to run most roms, so i decided to update my kernel using the steps here
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139"
Everything went well, kernel updated, wiped everything, except i accidently deleted my recovery.....but thought, no problem, i'll just follow the instructions on the thread, no biggie.....it said to download the "orange-1.58.73.2.nbh" and flash that......BUT... I Should have known that the Orange one was the one for T-Mobile!! But out of stupidity i didn't realize it and flashed it!! Now my phone won't boot up or Anything :/ when i try to boot into recovery OR Hboot, it shows the t-mobile startup flash, then shows an error with a triangle and a yellow exclamation in the middle, with a phone on it's side beside it!! :S
Did i completely mess up my phone?.... Someone please help!! x.x
I got a Rogers dream and I just push amonRA with adb. As for the exclamation screen, I think there is a key combo to bypass it. Something like volume up and power at the same time. I can't remember now the exact combination. Took a lot of Googling to find it, and if I remember correctly the dream has a different combo than the tmo did. But with this nexus one my memory has faded.

The orange nbh is orange not t-mob..
But has a eng spl so recovery is easy.. head over to my 2708+ radio thread and flash that, a 2708+ rom (most new roms support it and older ones the kernel in that thread will fix it.
Rogers if they are your carrier may cut wireless data there is a e911 wavier form to get around this search for it or ask the support person if they cut your data for detasils.
The good thing about using the 2708+ radio/kernel is extra ram, and it works on the rogers dream the same way as the non rogers dream thus you can ask more people to help support you with 2708+
Thanks for the reply guys,
ezterry:
thanks for replying, would had posted in your thread but didn't want to jam it full of even more posts of someone needing help lol...
as for your reply, it was after i had flashed the orange nbh that i was getting the t-mobile splash :S thus i assumed it was t-mobile.... but, as for flashing anything, i can't....when i try to boot phone in hboot or recovery, i get the error i previously mentioned, and when i normal boot, i can only get to the screen that says to plz insert sim card, and it won't let me pass that screen :S....that's where im stuck.....i tried using the usb cord to access adb through it, but on the comp it says there are no adb devices, i'm assuming it's because i can't get past the "no sim card" screen to enable debugging ..... Any suggestions?
Thanks!!
I'm going to hope you are doing something silly since your description indicates no problem with the phone.

That /!\ screen *is* recovery, alt+L will show you additional options.. but in its self its not that useful.

I don't recall if adb is enabled by default on the orange rom; regardless this is the rom. (putting a sim card active or not in the phone may let you get further however ought not be necessary )
So either you got so anoyed at your phone you did phisical damage to it or you are attempting to enter HBOOT/Fastboot incorrectly.
Powering on when holding 'camera' is supposed to always bring you to the HBOOT screen; then pressing send or back as prompted will let you to the Fastboot screen (don't re-flash the orange NBH, say no if it asks)
Alternatively either booting with send or back will go directly to HBOOT.. (The rogers [2000 series] dream uses Send while the t-mobile (100 series) users Back but some SPL only provide the back options regardless of dream model.. I don't recall about 1.42.2000 so you will want to try both)
In theory Home is the only button to send you to recovery.
Once in fastboot it ought to be a full featured fastboot and the normal 2708+ install instructions will work using fastboot on your PC
That /!\ screen *is* recovery, alt+L will show you additional options.. but in its self its not that useful.

Ahh ok lol, i'd installed RA recovery when i first got the phone, so it was the only recovery screen i remembered ever seeing, thus why i was confused, but yah, hit alt+L and saw the options, but yah, not that many :/

Apparently was entering it wrong, i was used to using Home+Cam+End to enter hboot.....so that's my fault....

When i enter hboot, it looks like a friggin rainbow now lol....red, green, blue, and white bars as the background :/ and once in hboot, it says "Serial0" in the middle of the screen :S and when i plug it into the computer, i tried hitting both back, and send, and it makes the "Serial0" dissapear, but seems no matter what i do, it won't show the phone as a connected device in fastboot :S
Thanks again for replying soo quickly and all the help u've been giving me, any advice on where to go from here or getting it to enter fastboot?
What you are describing is not 1.42.2000.. but 0.95.0000.. or that its likely the Dreaimg you flashed was the t-mobile rc29 and not the orange nbh..
Rc29 can be flaky.. but there are two options
1) go to recovery, alt+l and wipe, put a sim card into the phone and root via telnet.. assuming you have the 1.x radio of rc29 follow the link to my 1.33.2003 spl then with that install 2708+ normally
2) if you still can't boot you will need to use/make a goldcard (if you don't already have one this may require finding a friend's phone to help make one) and this time flash the orange nbh *not* rc29
0.95.0000 will not let you flash a rogers nbh so there is no way to re-flash with out a goldcard.. otherwise I'd just have you flash the roger 911 patch and re-root from there..
hey if you are still getting that screen with the yellow triangle and '!' that means you have stock tmobile recovery with no rom lol can you try to press (alt+L) hold alt and press L should make a list pop up.. if it does than maybe you can still re root it so than it will read your sim... but im not sure if the rogers G1 has and different software so it could possibly make it worse.. lol just a suggestion

Hboot is 0.95.0000
Radio is 2.22.19.26I

that sounds like stock 1.5 firmware to me
..Still have yet to find a solution....any help please?
info again is
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
Background:
Accidently wiped rogers rom + flashed t-mobile rom, and since then,
Hboot says "Serial 0" and won't allow me to flash any images, phone doesnt have a recovery, will boot up now, but only to the android set-up process which i can't continue with because it won't accept my rogers sim card, despite the fact i unlocked the phone before all this happened :/ so i can't sign in to or create a google account. Have attempted every bypass to get past it with no success. Obviously since i can't get past it i have no access to adb...
Please help
Just out of my curiousity, got download the orange nbh file (make sure that it marked orange).
Format your SD card to FAT and put the nbh file in the root of your SD card.
put the SD card in your G1.
Boot up with camera+power and flash it.
See if that work.

Thank you for your response, unfortunately i have tried that countless times with no luck it says it cannot read or flash or something, i forget what it says Exactly but it wouldn't allow it x.x any other suggestions?
I'm Really desperate x.x and i have been having the crappiest luck lately. I bought a phone off kijiji today, spent 3 hours trying to meet up with the guy to buy it, then when i did get it (after all the running around) i took it to "The Source" to get it activated in my name , and after 4 hours (5pm-9pm) they finally said they tried everything but couldn't do it because the phone is registered to someone with a contract that has a suspended account do to owing an outstanding amount of money!!
At this point, when you boot up the phone. What do you see?

It loads up to the setup screen, in which i cannot bypass...i have tried with another active (with data) rogers sim, telus sim, and virgin mobile sim card, but none of them will work....and like i previously mentioned, i unlocked the phone prior to all this happening :S
OK! I am not sure why it will not let you activate your phone. But don't worry about that ATM.
Let try activate your G1 over wifi. Follow the instruction from the link below.
