I really need help!!! - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I'm new in here...I have HTC dream from Rogers Canada...I got it a couple months ago
I just tried to root it..and worked fine, but the dialer didn't work
I couldn't call, just receive calls..so I tried to un-root it
but suddenly it stopped working...every time I turn it of
it keep the Rogers startup and stays that way
I really don't know what to do...if anyone have any solution..I really need it fast
sorry for the trouble and thanx

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512453
try looking through that and see if you can help yourself there.

thanx...I'll try

Also try posting question in the Q&A section

The general cause of malfunctions is because people don't flash their RADIO and SPL. Your phone is probably? not bricked... yet

I used the steps in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4280573#post4280573
I don't know...if anyone can explain to me what to do...I'll be really thankful

nevermind....it finally worked.....I was about to lose hope
but I re-do the root steps...and it worked..although I did it yesterday, but it didn't work
anyway...thanx everyone

Lost WiFi no matter what rom I'm on HELP

Sometime between flashing JacHEROski1.6r3cc(from twitter. Really slow by the way, needs tweaking) AND Cyan's 4.0.4 my G1 has decided that wifi doesn't need to work anymore.
I've tried several roms since I realized it wasn't able to turn on to try and get it working. I've also search Q&A and Dream Development looking for anyone or anything on the issue with no result.
I've reflashed the radio and spl and even had no luck with getting it to work on JF1.51 ADP. I'm stumped and would like to get it working.
I'm sorry in advance if this thread is uncalled for. Delete it if you must, but after 3 days of searching and requesting help from fellow xda peeps I am still without a fix.
Roms I've flashed since the problem
Jacheroski's
1.6r2 a & b
Cyan's
4.0.3
4.0.4
4.1.1
Jacxrom
1.4r2
1.4r3
JF
1.51 ADP
Twisted's
4.5r3
All with the same result "unable to start WIFI"
Edit: 8/31/09
Okay so after calling T-mobile's PDA tech support I've found out that this issue has warrant for replacement. It is a know issue with their latest update. Before they could send me out a replacement I had to check the color indicator circle to make sure it is white (which it is) and give the my G1's IMEI # which I did located under the battery. I am now waiting for a replacement which should arrive in a week. SO Yeah!!! I wasn't able to change the color though (the bronze has a hard to read slide out keyboard is dim light) and I guess my battery warranty was up in July = [
I have a few days left before I have to send it in. Does anybody want any info off my device before I return it? Like logs etc. Just pm me.
Mod thanks for not closing this thread right away = ]
Mod okay to close = ]

Huh... well... I hate to say it... but it may be a hardware issue. Sorry. If you wipe and flash your rom then it should start up. Or maybe it could be your access point (if it's an 802.11a or something).
you may want to hit me for saying this, but if you can't get a wipe/flashing fix, try going back to rc-29 and finding the stock 1.5 update (someone has it in their sig i just can't recall right now, sorry). and see if it will work in a stock build. if it doesn't then it is a hardware problem and your phone will be back at stock so you can call for help. if it does work on stock though, since you have already rooted your phone before i have an easy to follow guide to get you back to the latest and greatest cyanogen mod from stock in my sig
hope this is of some help
definitely try what binary100100 posted above me first though.
I'll try R29. I am rooted. I can su in terminal in all the roms accept Cyan's 4.1.1 (theres something weird with it) So my plan is to flash to an Official T-mobile rom and call for tech support. is there anything I need to know before I call tomorrow?

do not mention ANYTHING about rooting, flashing, recovery, anything technical at all. the dumber you sound the better.
Thanks for the advice. I will post my findings tomorrow.
Have you looked thru your kernel log (dmesg) for any error messages that might show up when you attempt to turn on your wireless radio? I'd check there first and post back.

Need help rooting PLEASE?

ok, sumthin happened to my last g1 that nobody seemed to kno what's wrong, i spent hours tryna fix it but nthn worked. So i got a replacement, and i been tryin to root it but it's not working. Idk what's wrong, it's like i can root it, but whenever i try to install a rom after the cyanogon logo goes away, i get stuck on a blank black screen. i've tried numerous vids on how to root but none of them seems to help so i figured xda would be able to help, hopefully cause i miss having my phone rooted, so if anybody can help, i'd greatly appreciate it.....
You probably didn't follow the instructions carefully enough. Also looks like you can't read...since this is a DEVELOPMENT forum, not a HELP! I CAN'T ROOT MY PHONE forum...
Try Q&A <_<

bricked G1 - need some help.

i . ll just start from the beginning. i installed a jesus freke ROM on my G1, i dont remember what version. i think it was 1.41 or something like that. (RC29 or RC33, idr). i downloaded an app or maybe it was an app that came with the ROM that let me know of jesus freke's updates. i hadnt checked it awhile as the G1 is not my primary device. when i checked for it last week, it showed an update and i attempted to install it. i completely forgot the procedure for updating a new image and im prretty i bricked it because it wont go past the android screen, even after waiting about 10-15 minutes, it still wont go past it. so my question is, can somebody please help me unbrick my G1? im in no hurry as im not using it on a daily basis, but id like to get this resolved as soon as possible so i can sell my G1. anyways, id appreciate it if someone could help. if so, can you give some detailed instructions as im not TOO familiar with android. i know a little about it, but too much.
thanks guys,
josh.
if you can access recovery mode, just go and reinstall other rom, i recommend cyanogenmod - user friendly and it got a complete guide on there website to install.
youll have to expand on that a little more, like i said, im not that familiar with android.. i dont have an SD card in there, and i suppose that might pose a problem trying to flash another ROM to it.. can you give me some links and some specific directions when you have a chance..? i'd greatly appreciate it.

This right here is why I say don't root if you don't know wtf you're doing. This always happens to people who should have just stayed away. Look:
Power phone completely off. Hold home key and power on. If you get to the recovery screen (the screen with a bunch of options, probably all written in green for you) then you're not bricked. All you need to do is put latest cyanogenmod on your sdcard, wipe your phone, and install it.

Bricked My G1

Hope you guys can help me Ive been reading through the site but cant find anyone who has has the exact same prob like me. Well I have tried to Boot into recovery that doesn't work Ive also tried to enter into botloader mode and every time i try it gets stuck on the G1 boot screen with everything that i do. Don't know what to do. please help
I call BS. If you actually searched you would see there are plenty of posts with the exact same situation as you.

If you want someone to actually help a list of what rom you were running, spl, recovery, radio, overclock, etc would help..
right now sounds like you overclocked it too much but since you didn't give any details I can only speculate

[Q] wifi dead after bexboot v2

Hey guys, I've successfully rooted my Nexus One with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300356&page=2 but it seems my wifi is now on constant "Error". What could be the cause of this strange issue? Any ideas how to fix it?
you are the second op to lose wifi with bexboot
i saw it is a boot image to root, but can't access dev's site
you may have to passimg back to stock and root normal way
not sure if nandroid will work
upon further searching, ask the dev maybe pm him
Hey... yeah, it's offline but here is his guide on google code which i followed code.google.com/p/bexboot/ ... i've tried contacting but got no response for a week now, so that's why im posting here.
