Wizard won't boot up

My father get a wizard from somewhere, and he wants to revive it. I think theres a lot topic describes how to do it, but I don't have time for this yet, and my father read all the forum, but he says he didn't found the answer, so please post a link if someone has the solution.
The problem is:
When I start my device it stucks at the boot screen. If I try to Hard Reset it (comm+voice+reset), it says FAT format faliure. If I try to do a rom upgrade on it, it upgrades succesfuly, with no problems, but still wont pass the splash screen.
Please help my father

You need to create an SD image backup and restore it from the image. Goodluck. I'll try to search the forum for the link..

Use a digital camera or Media reader for your PC to format the miniSD Card.

This is the only way you will be able to do it as when you a a SD card dump it is raw so makes it so the card can not be read by anything till it has been formated!!!

you need to format your minisd, either through and SD card reader or camera. Goodluck! At least you got you wizard going.

pls tell me this isnt a brick

ok so I was running drizzy's 2.7 and i needed to repartition so i could install the jac drizzy collaborative hero
after repartitioning i tried starting up so i could connect to my pc and put the update on my sd card. it goes to the g1 screen and then goes to a completely black screen and stays there... no hero or android logo....i can still do recovery i think

ha sorry i miss read your question. can you even go to recovery?

def not a brick... brick = not able to access bootloader or recovery screen. If you can access those, just transfer file over via adb and just re-flash and you should be good.

i dont know what adb is so im just gotta put a ROM on the sd card via a reader and flash it???

ADB is your best friend. It will let you do things when you can't do anything on your phone (like in your case).
If you are going to mess with Hero roms (or any experimental roms for that matter) you really need to learn at least the basics of it. Read up on it and start using it. It's a lot better then trying to put in 10 lines of code on phone's keyboard.
Good luck

i used an sd card reader to put the file on my sd card and now its flashing....i cant find a thread through search about adb...got any good links???

Go into Dream Android Development forum, second sticky from the top. It has all the info you will ever need, including basic ADB comands. At this point that's all you need, you will learn more as you move along and do things over and over again.
Edit: Silly me, look at the first thread on this forum
Good luck.

A2SD = Apps to SD. It allows you to save your apps onto your SD card allowing you to free up space on the phone. The SD car needs to be partitioned in order for it to work. Read the thread posted in the link above for further information.

After installing Fresh 2.0d, and formatting your SD card properly (use the search function and search apps2sd for the numerous threads)
I would STRONGLY recommend installing darktremor's apps2sd 2.5.
It appears to work much better.

I have a big problem!!!

Hello, I think, I have a big problem...
1. My phone does not read the SD card, but yesterday all was ok, and now i can't put a new rom
2. i have deleted the boot and the recovery and i couldn't install them, because my phone don't see my SD card...

Might have a dead/faulty sdcard slot,old parts tend to fail.

ok what you have to do now is download this program called paragon partition manager jus google it n it should be the first link., after downloading the manager open it n locate ur sd card (also u do need a sd card adapter so make sure u have the one tht came with the phone or any onther in this case.,) after u have located the card patition it., to do this u have to choice how much space u want for ur ext 2 ., i choice about 300 to 350mb range leaving me with about 3.6gb left for my personal use., after u choice the amount u want for ur ext 2 start the partition it should be a few mintues., after tht put the memory card into ur phone check if it works., i did this same procedure n worked jus fine for me., hope this helps you out., if not post back the problem.,
jibbz

any reason why a second thread (both created by you, on the same topic) is nessicary???
i gave you a few specific instructions last time....
first, repartition the card (using paragon, or a ubuntu live CD) if it doesnt work then you
can try a fresh format on another SD card... if niether work then you just have a faulty slot (assuming you are on a stable/Stock rom that you know works)
and YES FASTBOOT can recognize a card while the rest of the phone wont(personal experience), dont ask me to explain it, but if you had even read my last post in your other thread youd have know that......
your G1 is probaly just old.... get over it.... it was always intended as a Beta/Dev device....
and you HAVE been reported for spamming the forum with multiple threads on the same topic (in the wrong section this time no less)..... and dont ***** and whine about no-one checking the q-a sections.... it cuz fsck-balls like you spam useless ****

MOD EDIT - Please abide by forum rules and only post a query once. No need for duplicate threads. I have deleted previous thread

Rooted Phone and new rom

Hi I did have a discussion with a friend of mine about one thing: after you rooted your phone, can you format the SD card or not? Once the phone has been rooted there are still files on the SD card that you need to keep or doesn't matter anymore what's inside it and you can format and then use Rom manager and install a brand new (cooked) rom?
I really want to see who's right here...
Thanks!

You can format it, the rom will make needed folders, when you will start it with freshly formated card.

Yes you can format it. Btw, no question in dev sections.
