help! g1 stuck at loading screen

hey guys,
My g1 is stuck at the TMOBILE g1 screen.
i loaded this theme.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541841
and it worked great but then i saw this theme and liked it better
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520629
so i loaded it just like i loaded the first one. but it got stuck at the Tmobile g1 screen. so i tried to re load the other theme and its doing the same thing. i tried wiping by booting into Home+power button. but its still doing the same thing. can anyone help me out?? thanks.

What rom are you running? The first is for CM and the second one won't work on the newer CM roms. What you will prolly need to do is reflash the rom you want then make sure the theme you are flashing will work with the rom.

^ If this does not work, check your SPL and repetition your SDcard. Then go through the process for a fresh install of your htc rom. good luck

Uhm No, He said it worked fine with the first theme, for a cyan rom. His SPL has zilch to do with this unless it is a Hero rom/theme. But it is not, it is a theme for a older cyan rom. Repartition is the word i think you meant to use, and what is a "htc rom"? Don't get someone confused with bad advice please, we have enough problems in the Dream forums already.
And to help the OP, see what rom the theme you want to use is made for. And if is just the theme or the entire rom, as some themes are. If it is a small size like 10-20mb then it is just the theme in which case you want to get the rom it is made for and flash it (step 1 get it onto your sd and rename it update.zip, go into recovery and wipe, then flash the update.zip, reboot and go through the initial setup step get the theme onto your sd and rename it update.zip DONT WIPE!!! then flash update.zip). If it is the full rom+theme then you only need to go through step 1. Hope this helps with your troubles.

I looked this problem up on google and it brought me to this page. I am running CyanogenMod and tried to use this theme (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541242). Now I am stuck at the "T-Mobile G1" loading screen. I tried taking out the battery. Doing a "wipe data/factory reset" and restoring the latest backup. Nada. I'm very frustrated. What can I do? (Also big thanks to everyone in this community who help make this phone so great)

What version of CyanogenMod are you running? You should make sure you have the newest which is 4.0.3.1, so what you need to do is wipe, flash cyanmod 4.0.3.1, make sure you download the correct version of that theme here is the link and flash it. Just make sure you DO NOT wipe before flashing the theme. You should be all set after. PM me if you need more help.

How many people are going to have to ask you lol...? We want to help but you gotta tell us what CM version you have.

Flashing is changing the rom. You can find roms in the android development forum. I would suggest you use cyanogen mod 4.0.4 and then goto the themes and wallpapers forum and find one that works with it.
First thing you need to do is download the cyanogen mod 4.0.4 rom from android development forum. Put it on your sd card (if you cant boot up your g1 then goto recovery (home+power) and then goto console, hit enter, then type ums_enable and hit enter then you can plug it into your computer and load the cyanogen 4.0.4, rename it to update then on your phone type ums_disable and hit enter) then unplug your phone and type recovery and hit enter. Now hit wipe and after its done hit apply update, when its done reboot your phone. It will take 5-10 mins to boot up and after you go the the initial setup you can plug it into your computer and put the theme you choose on the sd card, delete the cyanogen mod (update.zip) then rename the theme to update and reboot your phone into recovery, hit apply update and after its done reboot your phone and it will take awhile again. If you do it all right your theme will be applied and you will be all good.

Ha this is going to sound funny but no one has mentioned it yet and I know there are some impatient people out there.
Are you waiting at the G1 screen for at least 15 mins? After a flash it can take upto 15 mins on the G1 screen to boot.

Yea im sure i put the dream thing right in the sd card i just formated(fat32) then put the card in my phone and when i get in bootloader it checks and finds nothing.There are dashes next to dreaimg.nbh, bootloader,boot,etc

what do you mean there are dashes?

Press power to update
press action to cancel
Thats all it says. When i press the power button nothing happens though.

it might be a bad download, try to redownload and unzip it again and then put the new one on the card and try again

ok i tried 3 dls from differnt places and im still getting the same thing.Can i try flashing a spl or radio first?Oh i have a PVT board to.

if you are not rooted then you can not flash a radio, spl or rom unless it is an official rom
what exactly are you doing?
what does your bootloader screen look like

try the updated one click root on that bad boy, supposed to work on all android builds, here is the link
http://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec
then you can use this recovery image for it

I cant install a apk or recovery without having root, im trying to flash RC29 first but cant since it doesnt show up,i cant push the update with adb because its not working for me on win7 X64.i tried to log but it didnt work.I tried home+power i just got normal boot though..Do i rename that recovery image as update?I did a factory default before i started to root process, so i could get rid of the user info from the previous owner.

umm, you don"t need root to install an .apk just use any file manager to do it, you can"t fastboot anything without root and you can"t flash a recovery like a rom
this will give you more of an idea of what is goin on

cM RECOVERY NOT FLASHING WITH TELNET

I hit enter key twice on home screen. it does nothing. then i type telnetd it searches for that contact. i hit enter once. then i hit home. then i download telnet. i type exactly whats in the guide. then reboot and hold power home it hangs at tmobile g1. i reinstalled the nbh 2 times already so thats not the issue anymore. I can get to basic setup but not recovery. if i just hit power button it goes to regular home. if i hold home and power it hangs. it hung all night on charger last night. and i did it agian now and its hanging

Are you following this guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563679

to the t
I actually had to un root and and im trying to re root.
my phone messed up big time but it wasnt brciked. I couldnt get to recovery b4 I unrooted or now
I had the new radio and the newest spl 10.95.3000 or something like that. but now im back on stock. Tmobile told me they will push out the 1.6 not the cupcake to me in 3 days so i cant even wait to get cupcake to do one click...im ****ed bro i need help lol

So what happens when you type the commands in telnet for the recovery image.

I hit enter after each one and it moves to next command line. nothing else. after the final one i hangs for like half a second like it did something. but its so fast unless you pay attention you wont notice it. then i immediately hit home key then power off and try to go to recovery where it hangs. but if i don't try to go to recovery it wont hang it boots fine.

I would try to redownload the recovery image. What was the initial problem why you unrooted and want to root back.

k ill try to. Re do the recovery image. And see what happens

Phone froze up and wouldn't go to recovery while I was rooted. Couldn't get to fastboot either

It kind of sounded like your recovery went bad somehow, but can't say for sure. The first thing I would have tried would have been to reflash the recovery while you still had root access but I know you already flashed RC29. Another thing you can try is the one click method and see if that will work so you don't have to go thru telnet.

I thought I cant one click root in rc29? Only cupcake?

[Q] WOW! Need Help... Boot Animation is stuck

ok so i did the one click root method tonight... so after i flashed clockwork and downloaded the cyanogen mod rc1 it told me to do a back up and reboot phone.. it rebooted and it goes into the boot animation screen.. it does the regular X color of the nexus then turns to the blue x .. after a few blue x's it stops then acts like it resets and goes back to the regular color, then back to the blue one..
it repeats itself over and over again.. been doin it for quite some time now.. like over three hours.. i pulled the battery and tried again, same thing..
im really really concerned about my phone now..
is there anything i can do??
please help me.. thanks

did you do the backup? Did you wipe prior to install? Did you use Rom Manager by any chance?

yes i did a back up.. and yes i used ROM manager... BUT i just now found out where the back up was.. i got thru! im going to try another recovery image and a diff rom..

ok, Amon_Ra is the one I prefer, I used it to flash CM6 RC2 only 4 hours ago.
-Cheers, good luck

ok thank you very much! is that image in rom manager?
can you also tell me what you did please... step by step..? i never done this b4 lol

sure, its very fresh (im probably only 24 hours ahead of you since my first root)
This should work, If anyone would like to double check this please feel free, I would hate to give someone bad info to go on.
so after clockwork gave me some issue to say the least i decided to go with Amon_Ra.
1)Shutdown
2)press power button and trackball at the same time
3)use vol-up and vol-down select "bootloader" using power button to select
4)then select "Recovery"
5)should now say clockwork on the bottom(trackball for movement and select in this menu) If it does not say clockwork or you see a exclamation mark in a triangle, you gave bigger problems then i can help you with
6)select wipe
7)select data, cache, and dalvik-cache to wipe So long as you only select those three options your sd card will remain ok and untouched
8)once done go back to main clockwork menu
9)select backup/resotore (or something similar) and hit restore nandroid(or similar)
10) if it asks you to pick which backup select the right one (you should only have one)
11)once done (and you get no errors) go back to clockwork menu and hit reboot, it should boot into your previous rom before you tried CM.
While here back in the working rom, make sure the end of your baseband version ends with "4.06.00.12_7" (menu > settings >about phone)
First go to the bottom of rom manager and hit "Flash Alernate Recovery" It should say RA Recovery
Once its done hit it again just to make sure it flashed (it should immediatly give you a comfirmation)
Then download CM6 RC2 (rom manager wont let you since it doesnt have clockwork anymore) go here and download the latest verions of CM and the google addon. Just download them to the sdcard.
Then reboot the phone in recovery:
1)Shutdown
2)press power button and trackball at the same time
3)use vol-up and vol-down select "bootloader" using power button to select
4)then select "Recovery"
5)should then say Amon_Ra on the bottom (if it does not or instead goes to exclimation triangle,boot back into regular and try flashing Amon_Ra again) (within this menu the trackball is now used to select and move through the menu)
6)since your current version is not working we wont backup, but normally you will select backup and do a nandroid backup
7) Instead of backing up go to wipe
8) wipe the data,cache, and dalvik cache. So long as you only select those three options your sd card will remain ok and untouched
9)go back (should be vol-down, should say at the top)
10) go to flash from sdcard
11)select the CM6 zip first (should ask for confirmation)
12)once done and no errors flash the google apps zip (also ask for confirmation)
13)once done go back to Amon_Ra main menu, and click reboot now
14)Enjoy CM

omg thanks!... question, do i download the radio as well?

That's why you need to see if your baseband number ended with "4.06.00.12_7" , if your baseband does not end with that number, then you will have to update your radio, something i have not done yet, and because of this I ask that if your baseband does not end with that number that you do not follow the rest of the steps. The steps leading up to you checking the baseband will reflash you back to how you were before trying to flash CM so you will have a working phone. However if your baseband is that number, ("4.06.00.12_7" ) then you will not have to do anything to the radio and you can continue the steps ignoring the radio altogether.
Also would any person more knowledgeable then I like to check my previous post to make sure it looks ok before this person does anything?

lol i did it, dont worry... it worked thanks man
