The phone is stuck on the T-Mobile G1 Screen

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.

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?

ooops Lost Root

I was running cy's 4.2.4, but I was having an issue with rotate.
I realized that the base Rom i was using was a sapphire rom (or at least that is what i was led to believe) I decided to go to cy's wiki and download the correct base image... signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip
I flashed this image and then when I tried to go back to recovery *poof* no recovery. (I was using the RA recovery) I downloaded telnet and tried it, no telnet.
I was going to reflash the RC29, but I was running the "Danger" SPL.
sooooooooo. Will I brick if I go back and install RC29?

Well. for anyone in the future, I can tell you that reflashing back to RC29 will NOT brick you when coming from Danger SPL.

If you have Danger SPL you could just flash back AMON Recovery from Fastboot, no need to root again.

the recovery gets replaced on reboot due the HTC image. You have to edit some scripts which a lot of people find harder than rerooting

[HELP] My G1 Won't Go Past The G1 Screen.

Alright.
Title basically explains it all. I'm not an expert at messing around with my phone, but I'm not a novice either.
I do everything through trial and error. My phone has the correct Radio and SPL. Yes, I flashed the Radio before the SPL. The phone isn't bricked because it will go into recovery mode. But apart from that, it's all that it will do.
I was running RA's V1.5.1 recovery. Now it's at JFV1.43.
I think my mistake was trying to update from ADP1 straight into Cyanogens 4.2.7.1.
I had a ADP1 phone and tried to update to Cyanogens 4.2.7.1, and everything just went downhill from there. I never managed to accomplish my set goal, which was to flash and run Cyanogens 4.2.7.1.
Then when that didn't work. I tried downgrading to RC29 and just re-rooting my phone. By this time I was running RA's recovery V1.5.1. That went as planned until I flashed the latest radio and spl and wanted to upgrade to the modified version of RC30. I flashed the RC30 ROM. At this time, it wouldn't get past the blinking Android screen with the bot. I thought it kept on getting stuck there because it required the hard spl. Whether the latest spl and the hard spl are the same thing, I don't know. I flashed the hard spl. That's where my stupidest mistake probably happened. That's when my phone decided it didn't want to go past the G1 screen when rebooting/booting.
Is there anything I can do in order to fix this? And can someone explain to me a proper method of flashing Cyanogens 4.2.7.1 ROM? Is there anyway I can connect with my phone through adb on JFV1.43 recovery and just flash RA's V1.5.1 recovery through there and push a new ROM?
Frustration builds. Lol.
What I want to have on my phone is RA's V1.5.1 recovery with Cyanogen's 4.2.7.1 with the Eclair theme.
Many thanks in advance to whomever decides to grant me some much needed help.

OK, as long as you can still access your Recovery menu then you're not bricked.. so smile lol.
Rememeber, before you install the Cyanogenmod 4.2.7.1 ROM you need to install the HTC 1.6 Dev Rom first.
HTC took it off their website, i have it uploaded on my site...
do this: ( This is for HTC Dream (G1) )
CLEAR YOUR EXT PARTITION or REPARTITION YOUR CARD to get rid of any Incompatible files.
Download CM 4.2.7.1 -> http://www.myhangoutonline.com/downloads/?did=17
Download HTC Dream Image 1.6 -> http://www.myhangoutonline.com/downloads/?did=6
Place them both on the root of your SDCard.
Reboot your phone into recovery mode...
1. WIPE
2. Install HTC Dream Image
3. Hit Reboot when it's done (and keep an eye on the phone!)
4. you will see the little picture with an arrow (radio installation), WHEN YOU SEE THE PHONE REBOOT HOLD THE HOME KEY. It should reboot right back into recovery.
5. Now install the CM ROM
6. Reboot and you're done...
Hope that helps!

I'll try that and see how it goes. One question though, do I rename them to "update.zip" like always, or no? I'm gonna get an sd card reader to follow through with the procedure you gave me.
Thanks a lot.

If you are still showing recovery JF1.43, update your recovery first to either AR 1.5.1 or CM1.4. Once that is done, you won't need to rename anything, just select the update any zip option from recovery.

Dont reboot in between the htc image & cyanogen rom..It even says that on his site..This is what to do..
1. wipe
2. update from and zip the pick the htc image
3.update any zip and pick the cyanogen rom
4.Now reboot
5.should go to recovery and reboot one more time
6.Bam your done and no one got hurt either

Can I do this through the recovery screen console option? (flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.1.img)?

The links posted aren't working for some reason. I tried going to the website to look them up and no go. If I can just get a proper link to download the HTC 1.6 Dev Rom I should be good to go.

I finally got the things I wanted to run.
Many thanks to the people that helped.

WTF think I bricked it!!!!

well i tried to install the hero 2.1 rom and i have the android system recovery utility build: JKv1.41 and it doesnt apply the update right nor does it wipe and factory update i just reboot and it shows the g1 sign goes off and starts recovery again can someone please help!!!!!!!

You are not bricked
If you can get to the recovery image, then you are not bricked. You can flash a different rom to get your phone back to where you want it to be. Or you can restore your nandroid backup (if you made one) from the recovery.
Which recovery image are you using? What ROM are you flashing from?
Do you already have the Danger SPL and new radio needed for a Hero ROM?

go to recovery, go to console, type in ums_enable, put a different rom onto your sd card, wipe your phone, and flash the rom.

hopefully you got your phone back to working order.
Are you trying to flash hero without the Danger SPL? Only reason i can think of why it wouldn't flash.

WOW you cant brick a phone from roms!
Hasnt that been said many times?
You dont know that brick is, when you really have you will know
Its one of those instincts that you get
Downgrade your radio and you will know what a true Paper weight is.

Phone stuck at G1 Screen

Ok, I'm guessing I misunderstood something. I'm a "noob" so bear with me...
here's what I did.
I was running cm v 4.2.9.1 and decided to try and upgrade to the latest version. I wiped and reflashed and got 4.2.14.1 running, but I felt it was slow (the reason I didnt use any other new version), so I came here looking to see any new roms.
I decided KiNgxKxlicK AOSP 2.1 rom looked cool, so I downloaded it and flashed it (yes I wiped first). I'm guessing this is where it went wrong. The rom took 30 mins to finally boot to home (longest ever) but the sweet nexus screen made it easier to bear. I DID NOT do anything with an spl or any radio (that part still kinda confuses me to be honest). I'm guessing this is why I am in the predicament that I am.
The KiNgxKxlicK AOSP 2.1 rom loads fine, but was VERY slow. I decided I'd just go back to cm v 4.2.9.1. I went to wipe and reflash, but the G1 screen never disappeared. I let it load for about 30 minutes and decided that was a bit ridiculous before removing the battery (mind you, it never got past the T Mobile G1 screen). I was, however, able to reflash KiNgxKxlicK AOSP 2.1 rom and run it. This is all I am able to do. When trying to reflash cyonagen it just hangs on the G1 screen.
I'm a noob so I don't know what went wrong or what I missed.
Can someone PLEASE help me out here and tell me what I need to do to fix this. Thanks
Additional Notes:
Can't get to settings running KiNgxKxlicK AOSP 2.1 AT ALL, and a lot of programs Force Close on the rom.
Thanks for any help/input you guys can provide.
Thanks

Do you have Amon Ra recovery?

No I do not believe so, as I am not exactly sure what that is?
UPDATE: I should also note I checked my SPL and Radio, both were very old (as I realized I followed an OLD guide when I rooted my phone)
I upgraded to the latest radio and SPL and still have the same problem...except King's rom doesn't force close when I go to "settings".....thats about the only difference (still slow/laggy, lots of programs still FC)

When you boot into recovery (holding home+power) it should tell you what recovery image you are using. (i.e. mine says v1.5.2 down at the bottom of the screen) I ran into a similar issue when I attempted to jump between roms without taking all the appropriate steps; all I did was reformat my sd card, wipe the phone, and reflashed my rom and it worked great after that.

I tried reformatting my sd card, even re-partitioned it and I'm still having the same problems:
CM wont get past g1 screen after flash, King's rom still pretty slow....
What do you gys recommend I do next? This is getting really frustrating

1st: Check if youre Formatting is correct
2nd: Wipe EVERYTHING
3rd: Re-Format
4th: Try downloading the ROM again. It could be an issue with the ROM's
5th: Check you have proper radio and SPL (1.33.2005 and 26I)
6th: Pray
Try them all hope one of them works for you dude.

why is it that that 99% of newbs are on cyanogen

@Macrophage001
1. how do I CHECK my formatting to see if its correct?
2. Doesn't formatting do this automatically? I also "wiped" in recovery...
4. Not the roms, I have multiple CM roms, one of which I've had for some time with no problems and have re-flashed over and over
5. As stated above, I did not have the latest at first, i did upgrade to the latest radio and hakyuro(sp) spl to no avail.
@zachattack052
We've all been told it's THE BEST, much before even making the decision to root. I honestly thought CM was the only rom available, that's how much he's praised around here and other forums.....it's just what everyone tells us.

Here's what i suggest you do:
1> Download Amon_RA's recovery from here
here is a link to his thread
2> Transfer the file you just downloaded to the root of your sd
use this code to mount your sdcard from recovery console itself if needed
Code:
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
3>Disconnect usb and reboot to recovery (keep home pressed while powering on) or just type
reboot recovery if you are already in recovery console
4> Flash Amon's recovery:
Code:
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img
when complete, reboot to recovery again
5>Partion your sd using amon's recovery (All data on SD will be lost so backup if needed)
[Alt+P] then [Alt+0] or scroll down using the trackball or the volume keys
follow the prompts, set your swap-size to 96 MB (use the vol keys) and 512 MB ext2. when done use the back button to go back and reboot
The above step will give you the partitions required to run any rom. Please make sure you meet the radio and SPL requirements before flashing a rom.
6>Transfer the latest CyanogenMod rom to your SD and flash it.
I would suggest that you try bbuchacher's SuperD rom (it requires Haykuro's Danger SPL)
make sure you flash the radio first and then the SPL if you dont already have it
P.S. When anyone says full wipe, they mean doing a factory reset, wiping your ext partition and wiping the dalvik-cache. These are the first 3 options in Amon_RA's recovery's wipe menu

what i would do....
make sure you flash the HTC recovery files first before you flash the CM rom
go for the defanged version of HTC
so...(once u have amon ra's latest recovery installed)
wipe everything
flash htc / defanged (DO NOT REBOOT!!!)
flash cm latest rom
ALLOW IT TO LOAD FULLY
reboot (personal preference)
create a nandroid backup for future **** ups
enjoy ur rom!!

1: Go to recovery console and type parted. A list will show up with your fat32,ext2/3/4,linux-swap settings.
2: Yes it does but you can never be too sure.
4: ok

thanx guys I followed the instructions MrBurrito and cqms13 gave and am now running the Super D rom just fine.
Thanks again!

very quick question..
did you wipe dalvik-cache?

After installing the RA recovery, yes. I was running CM Recovery though when I began this thread, which is why I was not able to wipe dalvik
