I tried to install Haykuro's Hero ROM on to my phone I had JF 1.51 US but during the install it said operation aborted. I went back to the post after and realized I forgot to install the latest SPL and Radio first. Now my phone keeps looping back to the Recovery Utility. I have tried wiping and installing both JF 1.51 and the OTA 1.5 updates but neither would install. I don't know what to do and would just like to get my phone working again preferably in JF 1.51 but if not possible just the OTA will be fine. I need a working phone. I can get into the bootloader and reboot to console fine I just can't get the phone to boot up normal it always loops to the recovery utility.

you can try downgrading down to rc29 like when you first rooted and then working your way back up
heres the rooting tutorial

Hello guys, this is my situation.
I had a G1 whit android 1.1, these are the steps I did:
1) I install the new radio (latest version) (before, assured me that the phone in the booted mode say PVT)
2) I install the SPL haykuro's 1.33.2005
3) The phone is stuck on the T-Mobile G1 Screen, I remove the batery, put on again and update the CyanogenMod 3.6 rom.
4) The phone is stuck on the tmobile g1 screen again! ... I removed the battery, turn on the phone and stay stuck again.
5) I can enter in the booted mode and recovery mode but I do not know what to do.
which is what I do now?
Thanks for responding
pd:Sorry for the spelling, I do not speak English.
did u wipe before installing the rom?

you are talking about a Hard Reset (alt+w) ? yes, I do it before and after, but the situation remains the same.
use power + camera and reflash dreaimg. your phone is only soft bricked so you can fix this. then after you reflash dreaimg regain root access and follow the flash procedures to image your phone to a non standard build.
Flash to JF ADP1.5 first, See if that works. Is your card partitioned?
why make him flash to a jf build first it's an unneeded step the reason i tell him to reflash rc29 or rc7 is cause it's easier to follow him right from the beginning to make sure he helped to the fullest extent once he regains root access as long as he flashes the 1st radio 2nd spl 3rd non standard build of his choice he's fine flashing a jf build does nothing except add a step that is not needed and makes it more confusing
I reflash to rc7 and can enter in the SO.
Well, I try again to update a rom, but first I make a backup.
Thanks guys !
well, the same problem again.
I install this time:
1) Rc29
2) recovery image + spl
3) JF 1.5 ADP
and the phone stuck in the G1 screen again.
I do not know what I'm doing wrong.
Just a wild stab, did you confirm that the SPL flashed correctly? You would know by booting into it (CAMERA+POWER).
If not, I would flash the radio again (just as a precaution plus its fast), flash the SPL then confirm it has been flashed successfully.
Then grab the JF 1.51 ROM, wipe then flash that.
Is it even possible to jump from RC29 right to 1.5? I would try to go JF 43 than to 1.5
I don't see why not as long as he has updated his radio before flashing JF 1.51. Far as I'm aware JF 1.51 doesn't require additional internal space (that Haykuro's SPL provides). The key is in the Radio before the big jump up in revision number.
If I'm wrong though, feel free to correct me, Its been a very long time since I started out rooting my G1
For history's sake I went from Stock RC8 > Modified RC7 (to root) > Modified RC8 > JF 1.3 > JF 1.51 > Dude 0.8 - 1.3RC2 > Cyanogen 3.5 - 3.5.4.1
ok try this reflash rc7 get root access install the recovery.img flash hard spl
let us know when you get to that point then we'll run some tests
Well, I could solve the problem. Thanks guys !!
I repeat the installation (downgrade, recovery, hardSPL, radio) but this time I install the Dude cupcake 1.2b full, and this time everything went well !
I guess that would make a mistake at any step of the installations. Surely.
But, I have a new problem. When I download any app from de Android Market, an error arises ... "insufficient storage available". (yes, I have space in the phone memory).
which is what I do?
I am completely stuck as of now, tried everything! No idea what else I could try. I basically can install any rom just fine, Dwang 1.12 works fine, Cyanogen Mod 4.2.5 works fine too. I am not able to install the latest ones by either though, what could be the issue?
I have rooted MyTouch 3g.
What do you have on your phone right now, and what methods have you tried? What have your steps been?
I have 2 MyTouch 3g phones actually, one is my roomie's and I can install dwang's 1.13 just fine on it, weird .
For dwangs:
Backup
Wipe
Install
Reboot and get stuck on the MT3G boot screen
For Cyanogens:
Backup
Wipe
Install rooted Base
Install Cyanogens
Reboot and get stuck at MT3G boot screen.
It is my understanding that Dwang's latest is based off Cyanogen's 4.2.6, thus I can see why both of them won't work. But why?
I am on Cyanogen's 1.4 recovery tools, I've had Amon RA 1.3.2, as well as RA 1.4.
HBOOT: 1.33.0006 (SAPP30000)
Radio: 2.22.19.26I
anybody?

Sorry i can't help, but just to add on... I'm having almost the same issue, but with a G1. Although i can install any of Dwang's versions, including 1.13, but as far as cyanogen goes, 4.2.5 works great, but 4.2.6 and 4.2.7.1 i get stuck at the g1 logo when trying to flash. If anyone can help my set up is
SPL 1.33.0006
Radio 2.22.19.26I
Amon_RA recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img
have you both done thorough wipes through the console?
Are you flashing the signed developer zip file before trying to flash the rom itself?
The process should be...
Wipe
flash signed dream developer zip
NO REBOOT
flash the rom zip on top of the previous zip
Reboot
you can find links to the signed dream dev zip here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593626
Since the first guy has a mt3g, you'll need to find that primary file. The dream one wont do it for you.
check cyanogen's wiki over at cyanogenmod.com
I've had a similar problem. I follow all the instructions correctly, but Dwang's 1.13 works and CM doesn't. For CM I did everything, wiped, flashed 1.6, flashed CM, rebooted, and then it would go back into Recovery for some reason. I'd reboot again and it'd hang on the Rogers screen for me. I couldn't fix it so I wiped, flashed Dwang's, and his worked fine. No clue why CM wouldn't work for me since that's the ROM I actually wanted.

Yes the first reboot writes the radio files. The second boot writes the cache.
You will have to hit reboot when the cache writing stops. (reboot will become an option in the recovery)
This is the first boot of a brand new OS as far as your phone is concerned and it will take a few minutes. The boot process will take a while. The phone is writing and moving the entire android OS.
I have had mine hang for about 10 minutes before. Sometimes it is 5 minutes.
Mine normally hangs for about 2-5 in the G1 boot screen and another 3-5 in the cyanogen logo.
Was running lastest Cm Rom & RA recovery 1.5.2.
Loaded into bootloader to check what Radio & SPL i was running.
Then phone started to update.
Now i'm back to stock G1 running firmware 1.0.
Do i need to go though the whole thing again like the first time i flash the rom??
please help.
Looks like you had DREAIMG.nbh at the root of your sd card and then hit the button to update it. Yeah, you are now at RC29 and must re-root and re-install cm.
Could be worse though.
I followed the unlockr guide and did everything and now I am stuck on the g1 screen. I checked my radio and spl are the right number. I wiped everything then re-partitioned then re-updated it with the lastest rom and still stuck. Can anyone give me advice?
If you can get into recovery of bootloader than you aren't bricked.
I know it isn't bricked but it is still temporarily useless. I really want a custom ROM and I wish I knew why this thing was messing up.
You could always reflash using the .nbh file then go through the steps again =]
start from step 1 again
The only thing I could think of is when I updated the .spl I didn't wipe. Whenever I booted into the recovery (before using amon ra's, just the stock recovery) I didn't wipe the system before updating .spl. Whenever I wiped and tried to update .spl it would give me an error (I think the E:signature (5 files)). Anyways I will retry! Thanks for your help!
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.
DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF

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.
