After manual update: stuck on G1 screen after update file – help!

Hi guys
So after unsuccessfully trying to root my G1, I changed my mind on the mastter and decided to keep it stock OS. I managed to get back to Android 1.0.
I’ve put a formatted and FAT32 SD card in the phone, with RC8 (UK phone) on it named update.zip (file ext hidden in windows).
I boot up the phone holding home key, ALT L then ALT S. It boots successfully saying things like ‘package verified’ etc until it says ‘install complete’. Then it says ‘press home+back to reboot your phone. When I do that it says ‘writing radio image’ then reboots. When it turns back on it has a picture of a sim card and an arrow or a phone and a box then reboots again. And here lies the problem: it never leaves the G1 screen (the first screen displayed when powering on the device. I’m able to power into recovery mode and fastboot mode, and from fastboot mode I can recover the phone by flashing to 1.0 via DREAIMG.NBH, but I really want to be running 1.6.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks

What phone are you using...a UK G1 or a US G1, as your trying to flash a UK rom...(rc8) have you tried flashing RC29? After flashing to android 1.0 it will prompt you to update your phone to 1.6 after that.

That's because you didn't flash your SPL yet.. I'll edit this post with the link to it. Oh and before I do, which rom are you trying to flash?

Thanks for the suggestion protomanez - it's a UK G1.

That sounds promising I'm trying to flash UK 1.5 RC8. So I have to install this SPL first and then install the software? I'm correct in jumping straight from 1.0 to 1.5 right?

Do I need to flash this SPL? The bottom one on this page http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/downloads/list?q=label:SPL
it's called G1originalBootloadernocheck.zip or something similar

I wouldn't trust that, but I don't know just hold on. Wait a minute, so you flashed the RC8 rom? Are you sure, how long did you wait at the T-mobile G1 screen for? Try flashing RC8 again and let the phone do it's thing. Wait a max of 10 minutes for the phone to load.

I'm hoping that you're rooted at 1.0.. And nono, you flash radio first, then SPL THEN the rom.

... sounds like he wants to flash.
-EDIT-
Why would he want to go back to stock if he flashed 1.0? Isn't that the first thing you do when you root?

After you flash DREAIMG.nbh, give the phone a few days and it will update over the air.

He said he changed his mind because he tried to root but he failed so he's trying to go back to stock OS.

Oh my bad. My lack of attention span prevented me from reading that but to go back to the stock, do what cloverdale said. Reflash your G1 with the RC8 and WAIT for the update. There's no need to do it manually.

Thanks guys! Yes the root looked like it was about to brick my phone so I abandoned it and was feeling overwhelming relieved to even get normal OS back on my phone. So I should just wait for the over the air update (in the UK) and it will automatically bring it up to 1.6 again? Sorry for the late reply, my internet has only just started working, and itll be off again soon!
Why not do it manually btw guys?

Yeah you can just do what cloverdale said, or you can go to the settings(pick it by pressing menu on the phone) and scoll all the way to the bottom to "about phone" I believe there will be an "upgrade" option but I'm not quite sure . You can do it manually by dling the upgrade off the internet somewhere but it's probably better(on the safe side) to just download it from your phone.

Yes, just give it some time and it will update to 1.6 (or maybe 2.0/2.1). I would suggest waiting of the OTA update and not doing it manually simply because I what I read about your reactions to rooting. I am not trying to be mean when I say this, but the stress it seemed to cause from starting the rooting process may be recreated through a manual flash. Take life easy, relax, and it will update very soon.

OK, no offence taken. I didnt know 2.0 was out for the G1 yet..
I think my rooting went wrong because I didnt flash a radio image or SPL prior to the software - I tried to complete it with limited net access and therefore information, and a non working phone and non working internet is too much of a hinderance as i need these things every day.
I mainly wanted to root it to make the higher end 3d games run smoother via overclocking and use it as a wifi point so i could access the net properly again whilst BT stop ****ing around.

Camera force close

Hello all,
I attached a log file which i hope, i BEG someone can help me with.
My camera wont open, i click the camera app and the screen goes black then i get a force close message, or a message saying cannot connect to camera. Sometimes the app opens and i get the cannot connect to camera message and sometimes it just force closes with a black screen.
I am on the stock 2.3.6 rom. i have dskchked the sd card, formated the sdcard and started over, tried different camera apps.
Attempted a different rom but i cant seem to get the drivers to see it when i start in fastboot USB mode. :-(
Can anyone tell me whats up?
Thank you
I really miss camera :-(

Well, since you said you already flashed a differenct ROM to see if it would help I'm going to assume it was something you know is stable like cyanogen or a stock ROM so it should work but just in case if you haven't already I would try passimg. Now you haven't done any radio flashes lately right?? Although from what you have said I think it may be hardware failure :/

Thank you for your reply, no i havent its on the 5.08 radio i believe, its changed to the defualt stock when u OTA right? i lost the works when i did an OTA to stock 2.3.6. I have just put recovery back on. i had CM7.1 before and it wasnt working, but it was working before that on stock 2.3.6. If you can picture that timeline. I thought reverting to stock would fix it. but apparently not.

Ok well when you reverted to stock did you use passimg? if not then I would give it a shot but if that doesn't fix it then I think it's a hardware failure sorry :/

I just flashed GRI40 using recovery then OTA to 2.3.6.
Is that any different to passimg??? im not sure of the difference?

Well it's because passimg by default makes a flash to every partition so it will wipe everything and put it all back in flashing a ROM on the other hand just does the system partition.

right... sounds interesting... can i passimg over the most current version... as im on the latest now... Or will it just say its up to date?

No unfortunately the most recent passimg file is frg83 so you'll need to use that but if it works then after that you should be able to flash anything you want and have no problem. For the instructions just check my sig.

worth a shot i guess... i just apply the froyo passimg and it just instal over 2.3.6, then it will naturally OTA to the latest again...? u recon it will work? shame their arent more people confirming this... its a lot of work!

passimg solved the touch pad buttons at the bottom problem i had of them not lighting up, unfortunatly the camera is still not working

[Q] [i9001][RESOLVED]Odin stuck in flashing KQB

So a few hours ago, i tried to flash the value pack (XXKQB) ROM on my Galaxy S Plus,it started normally but sort of freezed on ˝setupconnection˝
The phone was still in download mode,and after about 20 minutes of siting there,restarted the phone since nothing was happening, and it´s safe (for now ).
It should look like this,right?(see attachment)
__________________________________________
WRONG VERSION OF ODIN heh,silly me

looks like the pic didn´t upload succesfully

I have no idea what you are doing . How did you set up Odin? did it detect your phone? Have you closed all Kies applications? You could post a link to the thread you got the download from... (Did you ask the thread where you got the download from?) Why is there only one file? Is it meant to be like that? (I know some roms can be zipped/tarred so you only need one file but is this that sort of file?)
The list can go on and on. Please provide more information... What is the status of your phone now? Can you boot up to your home screen or are you stuck at soft-brick screen? I ask this because i don't understand what safe means. I would consider a soft brick safe because i know what to do when i have one... Re-flash!
So to that image. I am assuming this is how you set up odin BEFORE you connected your phone. I would suggest tick re-partition, this WILL factory reset your phone. A suggestions not always necessary, read the thread. If you are on GB already then i don't think you need to. Also usually you are still required to have a .pit file. (I haven't flashed via odin in a long time, so things may have changed) Check you don't need one.
Finally sometimes when i flash via odin, it get stuck i think at the same point you do. I have to unplug and take battery out. If i boot up i get two symbols with a line of some sort in the middle. In this case i go back to download mode and re-flash and it flashes correctly this time.
Sorry for the long message its just the more information the better and quicker people can help. Hope i helped, if not please provide as much information as possible

Replace Odin, and install the files as in the screenshot, the debug mode on the phone, turn off your phone, enter in the flashing mode after 3 buttons.

Screen sometimes Doesnt come on

Hello, Sometimes when i turn off my screen on my Incredible s or even let it go out on its own, When i try to turn the screen back on with the power button the back light is lit but there is no image on the screen, I can still answer an incoming call , the touchscreen still works while this has happened, and it seems the only way to get the screen to come back on is to put the phone on charge for 10 or more minutes, even restarting the phone doesn't help. I have a rooted phone with s-off and stock firmware. How can i fix this?

can anyone help?

Try a different ROM if required. Check the development section for ROM's.
Probably that might either solve or you will get an idea if that's something to do with the ROM.

Tried flashing a custom rom, the problem is still there, going to take the phone apart and see if i can see any obvious problems there, anyone got any suggestions or anything to look for inside the phone?

May be this is a ROM issue, or you have forgotten to clear cashe / dalvik cashe?
Try to install different ROM for ex: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2519414

Change your ROM on more current

Redstate and caught in a bootloop

Hi,
So i thought i knew what i was doing and tried to root my 6gb Alpha but apparently i didn't know what i was doing and now i'm stuck in a bootloop with the phone complaining it is in redstate and insecure. I have tried the stock recovery and both cleared cache and factory reset and still nothing. The phone isn't rooted(obviously) anyone one with more knowledge on this have any ideas? I'm about to tear my hair out.

Would advise you flash the old stock ROM. You can find instruction on how to do that in one of many threads in Maze Alpha section of this forum.

Thanks, I tried that with flashtool,now when the phone powers on the backlight comes on and that's it oh I can adjust the volume and it clicks as if the phone is locking when I hit the power button but that's it no images on screen.

Sure you flashed the 6GB rom and not the 4GB one?
Maybe try it again and check if there are no errors visible during the flash.
Just found this on the Gearbest blog, which is worth trying first if you flashed the correct rom : https://www.gearbest.com/blog/how-to/solutions-to-maze-alpha-4g-phablet-problems-2018
If the problem still exists, try resetting your phone in the following steps (Note: back up all your important data on the phone, or the data will be wiped after the factory reset):
a. Power off your phone. Then press the Volume up key and Power key at the same time until it navigates to Recovery Mode.
b. Use Volume up/down key to select "Wipe data/Factory reset".
c. Use Power key to confirm.
d. Use Volume key to select "Yes - Delete Alluser".
e. Once the resetting is finished, your phone will reboot automatically. It will take a few minutes to recover. Please wait patiently.

Unfortunately I can't factory reset without a screen. I'll double check the Rom pretty sure it was the correct one, I think it may be a return and play dumb job.

So screen doesn't come on at all? Ouch. then I would double check the rom and try to flash again.
I was planning to root my 6GB this weekend but these stories are no good.

Please, can you post information on where you downloaded your ROM from and got the instruction? The ROM posted in this thread link below seems to be for Maze Alpha 6GB.

From the maze gdrive I couldn't get their app to work even following all of the instructions for some strange reason. When trying to root my phone I hit the bootloop then flashing the stock rom from the gdrive with flashtool got me the black screen issue.
