Heres whats Happening
I Got Rc29 on my phone
I Think i rooted correctly
I have Recovery.img and update.zip(hardspl)
on my sd card
Im stuck here where the Arrows Pointing
"What To Do Now That You Have Root
Now that you have root, you will want to apply "Hard SPL" to your phone. HardSPL is what will allow you to apply flash images from other regions (like UK on US phones, and vice versa), create full backups of your phone, install the latest build from the Android source, and usually resurrect your phone if it is "bricked". You have already downloaded the file to your SD card, so now you can apply it.
1.Power off your phone.
2.Start up in recovery mode by --->(holding home and pressing power)<---.
3.You will now enter recovery mode. You should see an exclamation.
4.If you do not see a menu on screen, press Alt-L to show the menu.
5.Press Alt-S to apply the update from the SD card.
6.After the update is complete, hold Home and press Back to restart."
When im at step 2 i do as told but when attempting It turns on
with the Tmobile g1 screen then goes black then g1 again then turns on like normal it doesnt enter recovery mode
so can i update(hardspl) with the Back+Power button instead the recovery or no?
Whats wrong i dont understands what im doing wrong
please just like help me out
You need to reformat your post. You mashed together other threads instructions with your own post without seperating or quoting them. Its difficult to read.
Is this better
You need to hold down home+power until at least the fone vibrates. Some say hold it down longer which is fine. Your phone should then boot into a recovery console that will allow u to apply the update.zip file you placed on the root of your SD (this file should be the hard/engineering SPL). Post if u still have probs.

This is the SECOND thread he has made about this. Apparently the first one wasn't good enough for him anymore.

ok thats a step forwards, are you trying to root? what thread/steps are you following?
i installed it because i wanted to make somthing with the language
but now i can enter my recovery menu or skip gmail reg
when ur on the screen with the triangle and exclamation point in the middle, press "ALT + L" and see if you get options if you do then your in recovery and everything works. Just reinstall cyanogen 1.4 recovery. Im not exactly sure what your trying to do. but see if that works.
this are the options i get
alt+l- toggle log
alt+s-apply sdcard:update.zip
alt+n- wipe data/factory reset
when im trying alt+s it does nothing shold i try farctory reset and wont it delete the option of sim free?
do you even have an update.zip on your sd? I also suggest that you just boot up regularly and switch to cyanogen 1.4 recovery as its easier to do well, everything. Doing a factory reset wont delete anything on your SD, HOWEVER it wont change the current state that your in.
how
how do i switch to cyanogen 1.4 recovery
and i dont have the update.zip on my sd card

Just so you know, what you are seeing IS the recovery. As been said above, press Alt+L to show the text.
go to the developement thread, to find out how to root if you havent done that already and then look for cyanogen 1.4 recovery. In that thread it will tell you how to install the recovery.
I've been trying to root my stupid Rogers Dream for quite a while now.
After some progress, I've run into a dead end...
I am stuck at the ROGERS screen. I cannot boot the phone into safe mode, recovery, or into fastboot; it all ends up at the Rogers screen.
The last steps I've done would be applying the first update. It brought me back to the root screen, where I did a quickup, and after that finished, I accidentally restarted the phone.
Is there anything I can do to reverse this?
(And yes, I've tried using search, and I wasn't able to find anything relevant.. Help would be greatly appreciated.)
If you can get the recovery or bootloader, than you not bricked, wipe reflash your rom and if that does not work than reformat your sd
I really appreciate the quick reply, but I hate to be needy; how would you reflash your rom?
Hit the apply update.zip from recovery, or if you are using cyan recovery 1.4, then you can do apply any zip.
Just for ****s and giggles, try removing your sdcard and then try to boot your phone
I cant even access recovery mode. What are my options then?
Sounds like a brick, smells like a brick, looks like a brick......probably a brick.
But try taking the sd out, if that wont work maybe take the battery out and give it a few. If it won't work and you can't get to recovery or fastboot you are in trouble.
Camera+Power doesn't work? What was your loading process? Which SPL, Radio and Rom did you load?
I was following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4280573#post4280573
I was at step 10, (10.Apply “update.zip”, wait until phone idles, then press the HOME + BACK buttons. It will reboot, finish writing “hboot.img”, then reboot again into Recovery mode by itself. Do not interrupt it at all until it's done.) and I was about to finish writing the hboot.img, however, my finger slipped and I pressed restart on the trackball..
I was using SPL 1.33.2005 and I don't think I applied the radio yet.. all of my roms, and resources were off that page.
And sadly, camera + power does not work. I just see the rogers logo.

That blows goats man, but that finger slip bricked your G1, sorry. If none of the button combos get you anywhere you need a new Dream.
ekh... bought a nexus one off craigslist. it was already rooted. i used it for a day and then decided i didnt want to keep it, so i decided to do a hard reset. it's now stuck on the screen with the four different colors (nexus symbol) and the unlocked lock on the bottom. i've done the clear storage by holding the volume down (or trackball) and pressing power. i've tried to go through all those settings and cleared everything, but it still wont load..
any ideas? do i need to re-flash the original rom? can i flash a rom if it doesnt boot up? please help, as this is my first android phone and i've had it all of 24 hrs.. thanks
omar
Omar,
Please read the second sticky post in the forum "[ROM] Original Shipping - Tutorial" This has all the files and will tell you the steps to return your phone to the original shipping rom.
You can skip to step 5 once you download the necessary files. To get into fastboot mode on the phone do the following:
1. Power off the phone
2. Hold down the volume down key and press the power button (continuing to hold the volume down key)
3. Release both and it should boot into a white screen with the top, highlighted, option being fastboot
4. Press the power button to enter into fastboot mode. The screen should say fastboot-usb in red
Once you see fastboot usb you can begin to erase and flash the roms per the instructions.
FYI: The fact that your phone is booting to the four colored X logo means that your phone is not bricked. It is simply in some sort of boot loop. A bricked phone will show nothing on the screen and will not connect to the computer in any way shape or form.
if anyone can help me via AIM i would really appreciate it. i think i'm just about there, just need a little more info

i'm trying to figure out this fastboot thing.. i got the USB thing to work, so now my computer detects the phone. i downloaded fastboot but it keeps giving me some error message that it cant find some file... any ideas from there? thanks
omar
ok.. found and downloaded the sdk, and now when i open fastboot, it just closes right away.. wtf am i doing wrong?
You are running fastboot from a command prompt right?
To open a command prompt type "cmd" into run.
Posting a thread in the right forum might get you some help. =]
Hope you have a custom recovery (most likely). Hold volume down and push the power button. Then on the white screen, press volume down once and select Recovery by pressing Power. Hopefully, you'll have Amon Ra's recovery. If so, then you will be sent into this recovery screen where you can turn on USB mode which will allow you to connect to your computer so you can download a ROM onto your SD Card. Do that.
Then you disconnect...wipe everything under the 'Wipe' settings...then Flash the new ROM. You should be good to go from there!

So I wasn't paying a lot of attention while I was flashing to Cyanogen ROM and accidentally hit the update.zip (google apps) before installing Cyogen Mod. I looked up and then looked down then the phone vibrated and it was rebooting.
When the phone loads it attempts to get into a setup mode which just spams a force-close for process.gaps and com.android.setupwizard.
When I hit volume down + power and go into recovery it just gives me the android logo and an exclamation point. I've tried doing clear storage and that doesn't fix the problem. I was consistently getting the Exclamation point in the recovery image from ROM Manager, but going in and flashing to the alternate and back fixed it. I just can't get into the vanilla android OS right now.
Anyone have any ideas on what I could do to get out of this loop?
PASSIMG.zip
You can try the passimg method-
1. download a stock image and rename it PASSIMG.zip
2. Place the file on the root of your sd
3. Power off your phone, then turn it on by holding VolDown and pressing Power
*It will start up in HBOOT mode and will prompt you to flash the PASSIMG.zip update
Install a custom recovery first (Amon_ra being my preferred recovery) . Then flash what you want.

This worked. Thanks for the tips! Without this forum people like me, who know only enough to be dangerous, would be totally screwed.
I am a first time rooting. A couple things. First I'm pretty sure I've gotten up to Armon Ra Recovery and just want to know is there any way to check? Also if I've done everything correct then why is the radio update working? I have the file on the sd card root it goes to read it in recovery mode and it says installing cannot find file installation abort. Lastly I just want to make sure I do everything right after those steps because I really don't want to brick my phone.
To check if you have amon RA recovery working, try booting your phone into recovery mode. Power off the phone. Now hold down the Home and Power button until you enter Recovery mode.
For the radio, put it on the root of your SD card, and make sure the file extension is .zip, then enter Recovery mode by powering off the phone and holding down the Home and Power button. Go to "flash zip" and select the radio and proceed to flash it onto your phone.
