I have a white G1 phone t-mobile service and i can't access it. I need help. My G1 is stuck in the android screen its because I tried upgrading it to the hero and I did a hard reset which it deletes everything. I tried inserting other peoples SIM's but it still won't sign me in. Is it Bricked??? :S now it won't let me sign into my gmail account. I tried making a new account, it still won't sign me in ( I have internet service ).
Please help me.
Thank you so much in advance...
What did you do to get it to this point? Were you trying to root? Were you trying to update the ROM? Were you putting it in the microwave on HI power for 2 1/2 minutes? My point being, details, man, we need details.
Am sorry forgot to do that.
well I tried upgrading it to the hero and I did a hard reset which it deletes everything. I tried inserting other peoples SIM's but it still won't sign me in. Is it Bricked??? :S
Can you get into recovery?
Turn off your phone
Hold HOME (leave it held) and power on your phone... If you can get into your recovery then it's not bricked.
Was updating my G1 and bricked it when I installed the SPL from http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
This had root access before I messed it up.
I've tried all booting methods. Camera and Power, Home Power, etc. and nothing gets me out of the T-Mobile G1 screen.
Please advise if this can be fixed.
congratulations if you cant do anything with those buttons you have now bricked your phone, it makes a nice looking paperweight tho, there is no way to fix what you have done
I REALLY hope you flashed the Radio first like it said so in the instructions... But I guess it doesn't matter now, you are bricked sir =/. I hope you still have the warranty or insurance...?
There is a thread some where on here claimong some type of method to get a new one or something you should look for it n see if it helps u n any way
if you still have a warrenty....say this
"after months of waiting i finally recieved the 1.6 update. but after the phone rebooted it wouldnt start up. i have tried everything the guides on the internet say about how to get it working again and nothing worked. the guides all said that if you cant get to the 'recovery screen' or something like that then you cant fix it..."
wing it along those lines....it works
and next time please post in the correct section - questions go in the QnA section
sidenote - if its a tmobile UK or USA one this will work
if its rogers Canada it wont as there is no 1.6 for rogers dream
did you remember to back it up before you done anything - if so do try the following as this fixed mine when i had that issue
remove and replace battery
boot into recovery mode
use the restore option and restore from backup
if you can get into fastboot then you maybe able to push a new recovery and spl but not sure so you will need to search the forums
as stated, they cant get in, unfortunately
I would say act more innocent than what you say.
Guides, recovery, 1.6 update etc.. would all ring alarm bells for me if I worked for tmobile.
Just say it said something about an update, you clicked ok, it restarted and then wouldnt come back.
Dont mention recoverys, 1.6, guides online etc....
i found that acting intelligent worked better coz 'an intelligent person would never **** up their phone'
and edited version:
"i woke up yesterday and my phone said 'update available' so i hit ok. once it was finished my phone wouldnt turn on - it just got stuck at the G1 screen"
Short Story: GPS didn't work on my G1 so I unrooted for warranty return. After dropping to RC29 my update came and it bricked the phone.
Garok89's statement below is almost verbatum what I told the rep. New phone 3 days later.

btw.....
i live in Asia....God
well i would try to act dumb first, but then if they start trying to give you hassle, little by little pile on your knowledge of the phone, if you live in asia and cant do anything about it, just make a call to the corporate office and handle it with them, the minute a business this big hears the words "corporate office" im sure they will find a solution for you.
Recently rooted my G1 this week and installed cyanogen mod. everything's good.
I saw some cool themes and tried to install em. didn't work so just restored my back up.
Then i read that i have to be on RC30 to use the theme. I followed this guide:
http://www.intomobile.com/2008/11/1...on-your-t-mobile-g1-and-keep-root-access.html
phone gets stuck at tmobile G1 splash screen. i think hey, no prob, ill just go back to recovery and restore my back up again. take out, put in battery. home+power... uhh that's not working. even tried pressing the power+camera buttons. pressing the call+menu+end button isn't even rebooting it..
this... really sucks. is there ANYTHING i can do to fix this? maybe through adb or something? i have nandroid files backed up my computer too if that helps

There is something you can do 2 legal and 2 illegal
1) You could steal someone elses phone
2) You could buy a new phone
3) You could switch the motherboard out from another (non-bricked) G1 into your phone
And 4) You could breAk into HTC HQ and steal the machine they used to originally flash your phone with, connect it to your phone's JTAG' points and flash. Thisnis the most risky and most expensive because you ARE stealing, you ARE going to get sued, BUT you will have your phone back

Hi guys
Please help! Basically, I bought an item off ebay on my phone. The seller then sent me a question which I picked up through my gmail email account on my T-Mob G1 and when I clicked 'Respond Now' in the email...
My phone just died and went to a multi-colour screen saying the following:
DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0,95,0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.261
Sep 2 2000
I am sooo worried that I've lost everything... my pics of my little boy, contacts etc etc... is it a lost cause? Am I doomed?
Please help me fix this I can't find my user guide or a backup disc if one was supplied in my pack I've lost it!

That's the boot loader screen, nothing to panic about. It's accessed by turning on the phone with the camera button held in.
If you pull the battery and restart the phone, does it go straight back to this screen?
Hi GoldenarmZ
Thank you sooo much for your reply!
Yes when I turn it off and back on it takes me straight to the screen... took my SIM card and memory card out too and still takes me to that screen.
N
It's possible your camera button is stuck in.. give it a wiggle and pull the battery again.
If that doesn't work, Pull the battery, hold down the [home] button, replace the battery and power on (still holding home).. see if you get a different screen.
Should I leave my SIM card and memory card out when I press the home button or does it not matter either way?
Camera button isn't in by the way

Put the sim back in, memory card doesn't matter at this point.
You're great!! Thanks, it now has a pic of a phone with a triangle 'i' symbol?
Sorry for late reply, had to quickly bath my baby!
Well the phone is probably fine since you can get bootloader and recovery screens. There's no reason to think you've lost any data, all your photos will be stored on the memory card anyway.. but if its going straight to bootloader every time I reckon your camera button must be broken. If that's the case there isn't a great deal you can do except get it repaired by t-mobile. There's no point wiping the phone or anything like that as no matter what you do, every restart will come back to the bootloader screen.
All I can suggest at the moment is to take the back off the phone and hammer the camera button a few times.. really give it some agro.
If it were me, I'd be at it with a screwdriver and a good portion of fury by now, but if you're not a natural geek that's probably a bad play.
So the phone pic with the 'i' sign is basically telling me there's a problem with the phone not the data?
I've attacked the camera button but I really don't think it's the camera button stuck in?
Is there nothing else I can do?
in the i screen when I press home and power off the android system recovery screen comes up in front of the image with the following options:
reboot system now [home+back] - tried this and just turned off phone
apply sdcard:update.zip [Alt+S]
wipe data/factory reset [Alt+W] - will this delete everything saved to the hpone i.e. contacts etc?
wipe cache partition
Then at the bottom it says:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

No, that's the recovery screen.. you can use it to reload the phone's operating system. You can give that a try, but bear in mind you will lose all downloaded apps, system settings, sms messages etc. Your contacts should be synced with your google account so you won't lose those, nor will you lose any music and photos on the memory card.
Are you a t-mobile UK or US customer?
I'm UK, what's the cache partition? Will I still lose the above things i.e. txts etc if I clear the cache partition?
I'm not insured so don't think T-Mob will fix it for me

Clearing the cache partition won't help.. How long have you had the phone? T-mobile replaced my first g1 under warranty.. If it's under 12 months old and its not damage you've caused yourself, they should fix it.
had it 14 months nearly
Well if you don't want to pay for repairs, you'll have to try reflashing the phone.. there's very little else you can do at the moment.
Do you have a card reader that will fit your phone's memory card?
Yes I have a card reader... I don't know how to flash it though?

I'm going to tell you
Just give me a minute to find the files you need.
How good are you with computers..? Do you understand zip files and such? and are you using windows xp/vista/7 ?
Just so I know where to pitch these instructions..
Not to but in, because the advice is sound, but it may be wroth getting everything off the memory card before performing the flash.
am sure you already thought of that, but I know whta its like to miss that one step and lose something important.
and yeah I know it shouldnt make a difference, but safety first.
so i really **** the bed on this one, i was updating through kies to froyo on my SGS with Bell canada, and im retarded and un hooked my phone from the pc on accident, my phone will not connect to the pc what so ever now, and it will not get off the screen that shows a picture of a mobile phone...triangle caution sign....computer.

It always helps to use the HELP feature. You need to get your device flashed now since its "bricked".
Either you take your device to Samsung Service center or if you are brave enough, you can try flashing the phone yourself- Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596&highlight=Flashing+guide
Maybe its still possible to do a factory reset through Recovery.
Shut down the phone (wait for the last buzz or take out the battery for a moment), and then,
- press volume up, home, power in that order and keep all pressed
- wait for the second appearance of the white Samsung Galaxy I9000 logo and release power, home, volume in that order
- a recovery menu should appear where you can choose Factory Reset
