did I bricked the phone? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, my husband wanted his firmware changed.... I made everything I did for my phone and everything was smooth. I mean I checked it is a pvt phone and that the radio is the 2.22.19.26I, so the last one.
I flashed the haykuro SPL downloaded from here putting it as update.zip in the sd, and doing alt+s in recovery mode. when the phone restrts it staks for minutes on the first g1 screen, and the only way to go out is to pull the battery out.
so what's appened? what I should do?
please help me!

Wrong sub-forum...your question belongs in the "Q&A" sub-forum!!!
Also your question has been answered a hundred times..."Please SEARCH before starting a new thread"!

Can you boot into recovery?

if you cannot boot into recovery holding home and end or camera and end with looping g1 logo, yes you are bricked.
If you can go back into recovery in any way shape or form, then no you aren't bricked.

if the radio is fine, the oldrom is incompatible with your SPL most likely..
so yes, you cn get into recovery and flash new firmware

thank to all of you! yes I can get into recovery, and the firmware is quite old! so I'll take the sd out, put in ther the cyanogen fw and flash! really thanks! but since the phone is still stacking on g1 screen how to put the sd out? I think I should put the phone off before? if yes I have to take the battery off, may I do it?

Who in the hell made you moderator. Of 42 posts, you will be absolutely amazed how much space you are taking up telling others to SEARCH. Have a looky here
Anyway, knock it off with the "search you fool" crap; leave the moderating to the moderators. At least if you're gonna show your butt, leave a constructive post wherein the confused member can find the help and read the rules.
Here, let me leave you an example.
Code:
Iso67, this question has actually been covered a lot here in the forum.
Most people will tell you to search, and perhaps you did.
Anyway, I know you are probably freaked out thinking you bricked your phone,
but I would have a gander [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=516440&highlight=bricked"]here[/URL] if you already haven't.
By the way...[I].[B]insert your own knowledge of problem here[/B][/I]
This community is about sharing; knowledge, expertise, insight, and much more. There are over 6 billion people on this planet. Do you think it might be possible that XDA is going to get people who think they can just pop on and ask questions without following board protocol? Of course there will be. You don't have to insult each and every one....and yes, flaming is insulting.

thanks again... it was as you said.. the old fw was to old, I flashed to cyanogen and everything was fine!
ps: I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong place, but I was really freacking. Actually I started to read the bricking post, but it seemed to me it would not solve my probls... I should have read more!

Ok i can see things heating up here, thread closed.... Pinetree, remember our discussion?

Bricked G1

right i know how i bricked my G1
did spl before radio .. so the outcome is basiclly it hangs on the screen thing
i passed the phone down to my little brother so hes been using it for some time i ain been on the g1 scene for quite some time until yesterday he started ranting on bout me upgrading his system to the Hero ports
my main question was is there a way to recover this problem
or am i going to have to go tru my friends at t-mobile
thanks in advance
1) You posted in the wrong forum. How is this post in way Android Development?
2) Learn to use periods. It's hard to understand what you are trying to say.
...So you bricked your g1?
Sorry, nothing can be done.

Shaji... 1st off how is your little brother using a "bricked" phone? If it is bricked it can't be used let alone have the ROM updated to the Hero ROM's. Also there are several threads over in the " Dream android development " that should provide you with PLENTY of information that you seek... good luck with T-Mobile...
peace
...tell T-Mobile you got an OTA update and phone never booted past the first screen after. You're phone is bricked ,get a new one.

I did the same thing the night Haykuro came out with all his new stuff for that. I flashed SPL before radio, but I was able to fix it. I'll pull up the email I worked out with him, PM me for it.
Disconnect usb, take out the battery and plug it back it, connect usb, boot the phone into the recovery mode, go to the console.
Enter then type this: echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
You now can access to ur sdcard from your computer, download a rom, change it to "update". Reboot the phone again, now try to wipe and install the update. After you install the update, flash the radio first, then the SPL. Let me know how it works out for you.
thanks for all the information people
@shaji007 Your post is quite confusing, can you tell us what you did in order? Can the phone get in to recovery (power+home) or the bootloader (power+camera)?
@phuthanvinh If you brick you can't get in to recovery.
@lukekirstein You know how to bring bricked G1's back to life? This I gotta see...
right basiclly
i followed the guide how to downgrade root n hack etc
did all that
then upgraded to one of JF builds
then i was going to install the hero ports that have been flying around
however this is my fault i wasnt really concentrating and i upgraded the spl before the radio
so yea its bricked on there
i just thought xda might have a way of fixing it back up
getting it replaced with t-mobile is of course no problem but i dont want to go through the hassle

Right, yeah, you're screwed. Just tell tmo that the update bricked it, but don't say bricked, just act dumb

Stuck on g1 screen - can't boot recovery, no bootloader

Hi. I flashes a signed-spl to my phone via update.zip, now the phone will not load in recovery, nor bootloader mode.
I have place a working .nbh (for BL mode)
and a working update.zip (for rec. mode) on my miniSD
if somebody could please assist me in getting this thing running again, that would be great. thanks!
I have exactly the same problem. Can anybody help?
Which spl did you flash......original, engineering, hard, or haykuro (danger)?
Please tell me you didn't flash the danger spl without installing the latest radio first....

Time for a new phone
i flashed spl-signed
whatever that is.. my phone was giving me a android.process.aboot (OR SOMETHING LIEK THAT) with an option to force close it only. I figured the SPL would help this situation.

No offense big guy but just downloading and flashing something that you had no idea about probably wasn't the best idea. Where did you get this mysterious SPL from? Perhaps we can help you trace it that way. It sounds as though you bricked though since you have little to offer in the way of retracing your steps so we can help you. What guide did you follow, what radio did you have?
What made you figure that an SPL upgrade would fix your force close error? Did you research any of this?
Yea just like what DirectMatrix said "What would make you think the spl would solve a FC issue".

well i know that the SPLs allow installation of unfamiliar ROMs and allow them to work.. i did this before with a different one and it did the trick. that is why i repeated this process.
To be perfectly honest, this SPL was in my downloads folder and had worked before.. so i flashed it. I have attached the SPL so maybe somebody can check this out? I appolagize for my newbess and impulsiveness lol.
And i believe the radio was NOT v2 =[ i know thats bad..
THE ROM I FLASHED THIS ON TOP OF WAS JFV1.51_CRB43-ADP

The only SPL I have in my SPL folder that is that same file size is the haykuro danger SPL, so if you didn't update to the latest radio (2.22.19.26I) then I'm sorry to tell you, YOUR BRICKED!

Yea thats the same spl I have on my pc that is the "danger" spl. Yep if you flashed that without having the newest radio then you are bricked my friend. And spl has nothing to do with allowing installation of unfamiliar roms. What that spl does is free up more space on our phones to be able to install the hero roms which are larger.
The md5sum of the SPL you posted is the same as Haykuro's danger SPL. What's quite worrying is that you had a 1.5 ROM but not the 1.5 radio, if you had the new radio you would not have bricked. I wouldn't be surprised if you had a few dropped calls on 1.5 ;-P You didn't read, flashed something you didn't know about and bricked. My sympathy for you = nil.
new thread idea
I was thinking on my drive home, maybe we should just start a thread titled
TO EVERYONE: FLASH THE RADIO BEFORE YOU FLASH THE DANGER SPL FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME!!!!!!
Just start the thread, have it stickied, and have it closed before anyone can post anything in it. Then people wouldn't even have to open a thread, they can just navigate to a forum and have it slap them in the face. Then of course the next logical step is just to start a forum with the same title, then all they have to do is get to the website.....the sad part is people will still brick..
My sympathy for Mr/Mrs. oraeanast ended quickly when I read:

Dude, you gotta calm down a little and try to understand where we're coming from. MODS, I know this is off topic but I feel I have to get this off my chest...>big breath<
[RANT]There are literally hundreds of places within this forum that tell you to flash the radio before the SPL. There are notes and warnings all over the ROM threads, there are hundreds, maybe thousands of posts regarding:
n00b: "I think I bricked"
person trying to help: "can you get into recovery"
n00b: "no, I was trying to flash the new SPL so I could get Hero"
person trying to help: "did you install the radio first"
n00b: "oh no, what's that"
Not to mention you, yourself, mention in your first few posts that you didn't know what it was, you just figured you'd flash it because you thought it would help with some kind of force close. When you do something like that, n00b or not, you are gonna take some flaming from the forum. Sorry this is just how these things work. There are thousands of people on these forums that spend weeks reading before they do anything to their phone, and there are just as many who read for 20 minutes and just start doing things. The very nature of a open forum of this type makes it difficult to have organized data. Everyone seems to understand that but some are unwilling to put in the time necessary to gather all the proper resources and data. Unfortunately, you seem like one of these poor people.[/RANT]
My only comfort to you now is go here and give your phone a proper burial....

My sentiments exactly... You've BRICKED your phone, not had a small glitch that we can fix. Its called brick for a reason because your phone is now only useful as a BRICK! Its not reversible at this time, nor would I suspect it to be reversible in the near future. Next time, read, read, read, read, read... and then read some more before you try to flash some mystery signed-spl.zip that you found on your computer...
yea i made the same mistake a few months back your fones at a better place now...No more updates, no more wipes or backups just ~peace~

Did you try downloading the dreaimg.nbh file again? Perhaps it was corrupted? Also, you did try to flash it from bootloader, right?
have you tried booting normally? and yeah, this is in the wrong section.
I responded to your other thread in the QA section (which is where it belongs).
You should try giving us more than 15 minutes before deciding that your problems are worth more than other people's and posting a second thread in this section. 7:30pm on a Wednesday night...? Yeah, people have families that they're with.

I'm actually not a dev..the most I've done is helped test out some ROMs before release or to test fixes for some problems.
Anyway, did the flash work this time?
Hey I have the same problem. Even if you do re-download the DREAIMG.nbh how could I get it onto my phone? I can't get the phone connected to my computer through the USB at all. Is there anyway at all to reverse this process? I've read that the Serial should read Serial0 unplugged and then SerialUSB when it's plugged in. But mine just stays Serial0. I'm on whits end, I don't know what to do or where to go. Could someone please help?
Also when I take out the battery and put it back in, the key board has to be open first before i turn it on to even get to the RUUNBH screen. When it's closed and I turn it on it just stays black and doesn't do anything. Do I just need to get a new phone? Would it be better to go to a T-Mobile store or just call technical support and have them send a new one?
Put the sd card into your pc(card reader), make sure its fat32 then put dreaimg.nbh file onto your sd card...
Simple right? Easier than driving in water.
T-Mobile G1 Just keeps Rebooting
Hi there i have a similar problem.
I was given a T-Mobile G1 but it just keeps rebooting.
It wont do a hard reset,
I have tried to reflash with DREAIMG.NBH (RC7) from microsd card Fat 32,
with this sequence & this is what happens
Press camera button while holding it down breifley press power button and release it, while still holding camera button.
Phone then starts into bootloader
then i release camera button
phone then shows white screen with
loading...
then
checking...
then above checking... in red numbers
0058002
then phone returns to bootloader.
I have attached a image of my bootloader can you tell me if the info on it is ok?
What does EVT1 etc etc etc mean?
And how to get this phone up & running again....Thanks....

The "EVT1 stuff" is just device info; like device name, 32B=board type, Radio=version of the Radio that connects you to the network.
I am concerned because the EVT1 should read DREA100 or DREA110. I think whoever gave it to you attempted something crazy and somehow put the wrong SPL on it. Download the correct SPL HERE and replace it then go from there. That should do the trick.

Hi mate thx for the advice.
I downloaded G1OrigBootloader_nocheck from your link and renamed to update.zip as the instructions suggested.
Made sure microsd is Fat32 copied update.zip to it.
Inserted into G1 put the battery back in.
Held down Home Button and Power Button for about 2 mins but all i get on the screen is BLACK SCREEN!!!! grrrr....
So it also seems i cant get in to Recovery Console either.
Is there another way to replace the SPL?

G1 Bricked (Not able to fastboot)

Hi everyone really sorry for opening a new thread for a G1 brick.
My G1 has stuck at the T-Mobile screen and on pressing Camera+Power i cant get into fastboot to restore using the .nbh file.
I am not able to get into recovery using power+home key also.
There has to be a way to get my dream back....
please please please help
JTAG or go for a replacement. I'm guessing it's a DangerSPL brick, right?
Danger SPL
Yes dude....
i have done this so many time.....
this time i forgot to update the radio first and this is stuck....
Someone should have a solution for this....
I read many thread which say use it as a paperweight...
I am not loosing hope....
XDA Member will have some solution.....
Maybe you should try to keep current on developments.
There is NOT A SINGLE REASON to use the deathspl.
As for your "poll"... what do you expect to learn from something like this? Do you realize that any numbers you get will be completely MEANINGLESS?

Sure there is as its one if the few full engineering spls. And I don't think your latest development will ever be quite as user friendly (however some more configuration it will be very close)
The real user friendly fix/patch for 1.33.2005 (those that know what they are doing can decide if any benifit of the spl exists) is an assertion statement in the recovery script to check the radio version is not one of the two common 1.x ones.
(the evil patch is to make the assertion somehow also autoinstall the lattest Rogers e911 patched rom if the user has the 1.x radio. Because atm the rogers rom appears to be very safe from the user messing up the boot chain.. actually we may need to "perfect" the spl a bit more I think it will let us erase hboot)
I am still a newb to the android scene - and do believe I as well made the same mistake - and have bricked my G1.
If eveything I've read is accurate, I can purchase a donor phone - broken screen, or other issues - so long as the mother board is still good.
Swap out the new mother board for the bricked one, and have a working phone again - right ?
Have an opportunity on a donor phone - have no issues pulling phones apart, and putting them back together
But just want to make sure I understand the basics
Thanks in advance for any replies
Motherboard only option ?
Is replacing the motherboard the only option left ?
I am not sure i would be able to do that
Worst day of my life i screwed up big time
Any help is appreciated.
Some tool to recover back to original.
I can understand there is no way to repair as I am not able to get into recovery nor fastboot so cant adb also...

There is no tool to get it back except by the options listed above. If you are not going to switch the mobos in the G1 then you won't be able to do the other option either. There is no software that can bring your G1 back after a deathspl.

i tried all which was in my head,
and all i can do
but after some nights spending to my phone i found this:
i copied my nand backup to root of sd,
and connected it to pc
first he told me, device not known
so i tried to boot the modified recovery,
and *tada* i was in recovery mode,
plz try and tell me if it fix your problem,
for mine it did
best regards,
psycho
Mine is also due to radio update dude, before flashing spl the radio has to be flashed i and forgot to do that.
Will try out your suggestion, just hoping that it work and my g1 is back to life.
Ne ways appreciate your suggestion.
Please let me know if you were able to get into recovery mode prior to putting the files on the sd card.
And if you could tell me the list of files (if u had nething other then the nand update) which you put on the sd card, i can replicate the exact process.
Thanks,
Chinmay
Hope
Is there any hope to get the G1 back to life from the Death SPL Brick ?
You should read instructions carefully man. Its not that hard. You should always verify that you have a compatible radio before flashing DangerSPL.
There is a method to recover your device and it involves a lot of time and patience. Google "JTAG".

"JTAG".
me too, my G1 Bricked (Not able to fastboot). but i wanna know if the JTAG method work 100%.please.

[Q] G1 getting stuck on G1 logo after reboot.

I know this is over rated. I am currently running Froyo e-xtreme android version 2.2. The phone works find until it reboots (either manually or because the battery ends or because it gets stucks somewhere and I have to pull out the battery)!
And when I turn it on, it just gets stuck on the Tmobile G1 screen.
So I have to get in the Amon Ra Recovery. Wipe everything, reinstall rom and gapps and start using it again.
But I don't want to keep on doing this again and again. Such a waste of time. Any solutions?
change to a different rom that doesnt cause you to reboot, lots of good similar roms out, in my opinion better ones

Yeah, I tested out E-Xtreme out (for a minute). I didn't like it. I am currently at FroyoByLazslo, check that out
Alhamdulilah.
Yep. Tried that. It's working fine.
I got my rom from the unlockr guys. Just googled htc g1 roms.
Many thanks!
Nice dude, muslim 4 life!
Press that thanks button if you love Allah too!
difrent problem not entring in bootloader mode
hello sir I recently update my g1 radio after installation phone reset but stuck on g1 logo not going in recovery by pressing home+power button and also not entering in bootloader mode by pressing power+camera
Sorry to say but you may have done something wrong and now bricked your phone, maybe explain how you flashed radio and what your radio/spl before the flash

Yep, all signs tell that you have bricked your phone unfortunately, only way from now on is JTAG, google that around, but that is very, very complicated. My condolances to your phone sir.....
PS: Hey you know farsi?

... another one who created a brick by flashing radio by recovery ... :crying:
The first rule of flashing: READ EVERY LETTER OF THE POST! The most bricks occur because people do not understand or don't read a part of the post. If something is very complicated and you don't understand it? DON'T DO IT! So easy but so many bricks

+1 n00bs like me should read all the stickies, espicially w/the word n00bs in it, and if they dont understand what they are reading use the search button to find the answers, then maybe head over to the dev section and read the op throughly and try to read all the posts in that thread, ok maybe not all of them as some them are long, but start at the newest posts and work thier way down until they get comfortable with all the terms posters are using
He's right. we should 'noob' our posts!
