So if i intentionally brick my phone... - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

...the insurance company wont ever be able to figure out that i rooted it and come for money?
I downgraded to the original bootloader but cant get rc29 back on, i just get the gray screen to flash for a split second (it says 'no file...') i still have cyanogen 1.3.1 and i flashed ion to have something to work with but i read that i can pull the battery during a flash and just brick it. thanks

Are you sure that your sdcard is formatted to fat32? The no file found usually indicates that it isn't.

good call thanks, i may have put it on the new card that came with the new phone, which i suppose isnt set to fat32 by default. But the boot flashed ok, would it do that if it wasnt fat32?

No problem, seen it before and just passing the info along. I don't think it should affect the boot.img as that is flashed from terminal, and I don't think terminal is as discriminating as the bootloader.

:( Random Problem......Help, Please! :(

Right then,
Already searched on this one and not yet seen a solution to my problem. I own a T-mobile G1 and my phone crashes after it has booted up, or will not boot up properly: either the T-mobile G1 screen stays on for 5-6 seconds then I get a black screen, or it boots up then freezes with a black screen, or it won't switch on at all.
I currently have:
T-Mobile G1 with Root
2.22.19.26I radio installed
1.33.2005 "Death" SPL installed
Amon_RA's RA-v1.2.3 recovery installed
MghtyMax "What a feeling" 1.9.1 Hero ROM installed
fat32, ext3 and linux-swap on class 6 8Gb sdcard
I can get to recovery (sometimes.....it doesn't always get that far) and fastboot, so hopefully it's not bricked. I have already tried wiping (ALT+W) and formatting the ext2 (from the option in RA's recovery menu and also via console); removing all the partitions and starting afresh recreating them (after removing them of course), and as I can get to recovery (sometimes) I have tried flashing a different ROM (SENSEhero 1.3.3 unthemed) but still get the same issue.
I have flashed quite a few ROMs recently and not had any issues, so any help on this one would be most appreciated!

Seems like it is a problem with the sd card. Removed it and plugged it into my pc via a card reader and it couldn't recognise the card. Amazon here we come! Thanks for the help!

Okay,
It is still doing it and I'm not sure if it is the sdcard. Tried a different card I have at home and I still have the same problem.
I'm also getting extra coloured pixels appear on the T-Mobile G1 screen.
I can still get to bootloader and recovery (sometimes.....).
How do I pull a logcat?
MrZ
adb logcat
you can also run ddms.bat and get the log from there

well trying to solve the problem by trying another sdcard is not a fix... since some roms do rely on the ext contents for things to work properly. what i suggest is having the 3nd card completely wiped and partitioned correctly..then move a rom onto the card and flash like u normally would.
Thanks for the info.
That was one of the first things I tried. I managed on Tuesday to install AOSP_ADP_1.6_r1.2_DRC92_rooted_base_v2.zip, and it worked for a short period of time, but it now crashes or doesn't boot up.
Getting worried now.......

Something may be wrong with the phone itself
Try flashing the RC29 and seeing if the problem persists. if it does, then its probably a hardware problem. You can talk to tmobile or HTC about it and see what they say

Thanks for that. I assume if they ask me to return it to them to reflash the original bootloader and recovery screens so that they cannot tell I've been "playing" with my phone...
Haha well once you flash the RC29 you wont have to because it will all be stock. If Tmo replaces phones for missing text messages, which is for sure a software problem (yes ive seen them do this), then they definitely will for this issue.

If I flash RC29 (or RC7 for me) will this brick the phone as I currently have Death SPL. I'm sure I've read that somewhere on here?
Unrooted.......
I've now reverted back to RC7 (as I'm in the UK) and all seems okay....for now.
I will run it like this for a day to see if it still crashes or does anything funny. If it doesn't, I will re-root and start again!
Thanks for the help with this. I will update if it continues to crash.
Alright lets hope this fixed it lol
also it may be a little late but you should be fine flashing the RC7 as it replaces the SPL and radio
EVT Board.........

Now this is interesting, RC7 was fine. Re-rooted the phone, fine. Flashed AOSP_ADP_1.6_r1.2_DRC92_rooted_base_v2.zip ROM, fine. Flashed Amon_RA's v1.2.3.img recovery, fine. This is where it gets fun, partitioned my card within the recovery to FAT32, ext2 and linux-swap, then rebooted into recovery. The phone crashed. So, I thought there must be an issue with the sdcard. Put in the stock 2Gb card with the RC7 DREAIMG.nbh file on and pressed camera+power to go back to RC7. It came up with an red code 00058002, then went back to the bootloader screen. It stated at the top that it was an EVT board. Searched all of the Dream Q&A section for EVT and absolutely nothing. Tried going into bootloader again and that screen started to warp and the graphics and pixels started to jumble up.
Any ideas?
wow.....it changed board types on you?
did you manage to flash cyan at all before that happened?
you should flash cyan and boot on it before flashing amonra's recovery.
you can then flash the recovery then partition the card and wipe just to be safe

I flashed the AOSP_ADP_1.6_r1.2_DRC92_rooted_base_v2 ROM and booted it up fully. Then using the Terminal Emulator within Dev Tools I flashed Amon_RA's recovery. All went well until I partitioned the sdcard. It won't boot up at all into the home screen or recovery, just bootloader, although it did this before when it first started crashing. I'm gonna leave it tonight and try again tomorrow.
Do you know anyone else on here who has any idea on this one? Seems like I'm the first!
This is probably an issue with the recovery itself...though ive never read about anything like your having.
ill bump this thread and see if anyone can help...maybe david can (ill tell him to get on here)
why dont you give a differant recovery image and dont try to partition just try with a fat32 sdcard on a cyan rom or something see what happens with that

Nexus one only going to the "Android system recovery <2e>" screen

When booting the Nexus One I get an Android with an explanation point, then I am able to toggle the volume key and power to get into "Android system recovery <2e>" screen which gives me the options
-reboot system now
-apply sdcard:update.zip
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
when it's in this screen I can NOT access it through fastboot or adb.
It looks like it is only allowing me to push "officially" signed update.zip files to it and nothing else.
I cannot get it in to hboot or anything else it ONLY boots into "Android system recovery <2e>"
Maybe someone has an official update.zip boot image they can send me to or some other idea it would be much appreciated since I cannot use the phone at all.
Thank you in advanced, Please help!!!
Did you try holding trackball and power button when the phone is turned off to bring you directly to fastboot?

Yes, with no luck, it just goes straight to the Android and explanation point
Are you rooted? Unlocked bootloader? What did you do to get you into this situation?
Not to worry you, but usually not being able to boot into fastboot is not a good thing.

ya at this point I was kinda figuring that but I am hopeful ...I unlocked the boot loader and everything was going great until I partitioned the sd in the recovery image, then I started getting a weird MISC error and couldn't boot up at all, only in recovery but fastboot and everything still worked. Then I saw a post about applying the original image to the device via fastboot, preformed that and ever since then I have had a $500 brink that lights up
I don't think you can brick the N1 by just flashing a ROM, usually this only happens when changing the radio or spl.
I would try taking out your sd card, copy all your files you your computer, format your sd card, copy your files back to your sd card and see what that does for you. Maybe some issue arose when you partitioned your sd card, although you said fastboot still worked until you flashed the ROM. Worth a shot though.
If you can access fastboot then, I would flash Amon Ra's custom recovery image via fastboot and take it from there.
well I actually tried a completely different sdcard and then none at all. No luck. If it's not letting me into hboot do you think it may have gotten corrupted or something

Thank you for all your help!! but I am afraid this isn't looking to good.
I also tried creating that file just to see but since it wasn't officially signed it gave me an error about that
I think at this point it is looking for a specific signed update.zip file, where I find that, I have no idea.
It almost seems like I need the whole update.zip officially signed by google and/or HTC and then it would flash. I highly doubt they are going to hand that over. I am half temped to see if I could send it in to them to be reflashed even for a fee if it means I can get this thing working again, but I don't even know if they would offer that. It's only 2 months old and I think the file I need maybe out there but damned if I have been able to find it anywhere.

I wouldn't give up yet. I'm sure there is someone out there that can tell you you are completely hosed, or help you fix the problem.
If you can't fix it, I have heard it will cost $196 for a new motherboard if you send it in to HTC. They could just reflash your phone but I heard they handle a case like this by charging you for a motherboard swap. Second hand information though.

I believe that, I work in the field service industry and I see stuff like that all the time. Although I would rather pay the 196 instead of 560+ again. I am almost 100% certain this could be re-flashed with the right file. but I have so far spent 2 full days trying different things, I think I will give it until tomorrow and then send it in (by then I should be good an sick of searching). Unfortunately, I am in love with my Nexus. it's been a while since I had a phone I really enjoyed as much. If I knew another great phone was coming out in a week I would probably say the heck with it and just buy the next one but this is still an awesome device.

No haven't tried those checking the Help Brick post I will see what I can find. No adb and not fastboot devices, just says waiting for device if I try anything.
Since you have unlocked the bootloader have you tried a complete reload?
fastboot: flash boot, flash recovery
recovery: wipe everything, reset, install latest CM.
Did you ever figure this out?

If you have stock SPL those roms will not fit ito your system partition. They need danger spl or the recent mtd partiton hack.
You can also try a donut rom without sense, they usually fit stock spl system.
€: If you want to go back to stock rom, you need the correct dreamimg.nbh for your device on your sd card and flash it via bootloader. This will obviously break root.

The computer doesn't need to see the phone. Put the file on the root of the sd card, the name of the file has to be correct and is case sensitive, DREAIMG.nbh IIRC. Power down the phone, insert the sd card, press and hold the camera button while you power it on until you see the bootloader screen. The phone should see the file and take it from there.

Sorry, IIRC = If I Remember Correctly.
The file name is upper case, the .nbh is lower case. To check the validity of the file you can search for and download an MD5 sum checker, but after 5 attempts I doubt that would be it. The only things I can think of is either a problem with the card, or something with the phone. Try reformatting the card making sure it's a FAT32 full format, not a quick format. Hopefully one of the Android gods around here will see this have some better ideas.

ya its jus like this DREAIMG.nbh man i did the one click root didnt break bootloader....tried to boot load the regular rom and nothing man. im done with it. its tottally effed in my opinion....ive tried everything i can think of...
You really have to make sure you got the right DREAMIMG.nbh. If you have e.g. a T-Mobile G1 get the newest for T-Mobile. Be sure to have the newest, as it is possible that older versions are not flashable either. There are lots of those images around, and if you try them at random they are quite sure not to work.
Also there might be problems if the SD-Card is not formated properly. If you have an external reader, take it out and format it on your pc. Then put the (correct) image on it.
Perhaps if you tell us the brand of your mobile, we can try to guide you to the right image.

Phone stuck in bootloop - One click files arent helping

Bear with me while I try to explain (and remember) what happened to get me to this point.
--
Last night I was using WeUI and decided for a switch so I flashed AOKP Build 34 and the flash went well. I then tried to do a restore using MyBackup Pro with an older backup which it didnt work because it couldnt find the directory (even though I put it in the right one but that isnt important). After that I turned away from the phone for a minute or so and when I looked back, I saw that the screen had darken and the AOKP unicorn was on the screen. At which point I thought the phone had froze along the way somewhere and so I took out the battery and restarted the phone. I then started the phone back up and I got this screen saying there was an issue with the phone and I needed to reboot it.
I did but it brought me to CWM recovery, which I thought was odd but then figured I just needed to reinstall the rom, so I was going to but it only showed me my external sd card and I couldnt get access to my internal sd card and left it for the night. Then today (after getting into download mode) I tried using the odin3 1-click to JF6 which succeeded but once it completes it just throws the phone into bootloops.
So now I am at the point where I am out of ideas of what I need to do, but luckily I am still able to get into download mode and recovery mode so its not SO bad right guys? *fingers crossed*
Any help would be appreciated in this little pickle I am in.

Correct :/
If you're interested, there's a thread in the Development section (look for "Encryption Unsuccessful") that talks in great length about this issue.
Some people (myself included) have dodged a bullet because the Android angels smiled and allowed them to flash a stock ROM before the device marked the Internal SD as encrypted. Most people, however, aren't as lucky and have an inaccessible Internal SD.
Not trying to contradict b-eock, just wanting to futher expand on the post.

Yea I found that thread just now, and I will probably give it a shot, good thing I bought a big microSD card to use with this phone. So if I do this method, that means that the internal sd card is completely shot then and no chance of it being used again?

Correct, for now we know the cause and steps that lead to this issue but there is currently no solution to get the internal sd back.

Yes, it's a US SKU tablet, it's currently running JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801
The card is formatted with FAT32, it's a 2g MicroSD card (I've tried a 32g SDHC Card as well)
I've cleared out the CMClient and the DMClient apps
I've even attempted to download it directly from ASUS support to the tablet itself, extracting locally, etc. no dice.
I've attempted to cold boot numerous times, wiped once, but I never get the notification in the lower right hand corner that there is an available update.
TL;DR TF701 can't find files for manual update, I'm about ready to throw it out the window.

So,
In an attempt to install CWM, I've got to update to 10.26.1.18 for the version I want to go to.
I've attempted to use the manual process to no avail

No dice.
Also, to add to it, I have the device unlocked.

If I've gotta drop on an older version of CWM to flash a newer version of an OS to jocky it all around, i'm not adverse to the foot work, it's all just annoying lol
If you have 10.1.6.14.10 on it then you have flashed a TF700 boot loader on it.
Game over in my opinion. Not sure how you can recover from that.......
Unless you have a TF700? In which case you are in the wrong forum....... And flashing the wrong firmware.....

Stupidity reigns supreme.
TF700; wrong guide, wrong recoveries, I'm very lucky I didn't brick it.
Thanks guys!
