first boot into bootloader(camera and home) and see if you have a white screen with 3 skating androids.
if you do then you have the hard spl.
sometimes when you flash a spl it will wipe your phone.
if you do have the hard spl just go ahead and flash whatever rom you want to use.
if you don't have a card reader go into the recovery console and type ums_enable to mount your sdcard and put the rom on your sdcard then type ums_disable to unmount the sdcard, then finally type reboot recovery and when it boots up flash your rom.
That did it David just uploaded CM 4.0.4 and its up and running. You have been alot of help tonight, kick you a little something for your help...
wait , you push alt-s, are you still using the orignal recovery, do yourself a favor and flash cm recovery 1.4, nandroid backup and restore, flash any zip.

thank you very much
Thanks!!
I was having the same issue... ( I have the pimped recovery as well)
The first couple times I tried, I was getting no changes to the spl...
I tried one more time, wiped to be sure, proceeded to install spl
I then made it to same point, "formatting cache..."
I decided to start the reboot process and quickly pressed
"cam + power" when the screen went black and BAM,
got the 3 skateboarding androids
and it says "HSPL 10.95.3000"
I then reinstalled latest Cyan, and partitioned the sdcard with sdparted.txt

Rebooted and
Thx!!
I am trying to unroot my friend's G1... I found a tutorial on XDA (link) and it worked fine without any problems on my phone, however when I go into recovery mode (CyanogenMod v1.4+JF) and I hit Alt+S, it starts to install the update.zip and it reboots and starts up in recovery and gets stuck on Formatting CACHE:... I've let it sit for quite a while and still nothing. I can reboot the phone, but it just starts back up in the rooted mod. When I start into the bootloader (camera+power), it's not the three android's on skateboard, it's the colored screen, and it doesn't give me the option to install DREAIMG.nbh file. I'm not quite sure what to do, especially since I had absolutely no problem testing this tutorial on my own phone.
EDIT: I figured out that the bootloader is downgraded and working. Now when I load the bootloader, it goes to the grey screen and says Loading... No image found! I have searched the forums and google for a solution to this program and so far nothing I've found is working. I've reformatted my SD card many times to FAT32, as well as redownloaded the DREAIMG.nbh file... Any help would be great!
EDIT 2: I'm not sure what the problem was or what I did to get it to work, but after formatting over and over and downloading and redownloading, and trying different SD cards, it finally started to work.
Ok. I have done everything that was suggested up above. I also get the 3 android skateboarders and I have tried to install the new
[ROM] CyanogenMod - Keeping You Legal For Less (STABLE) [UPDATED 10/31 - v4.2.3.1]
Which installs just fine. But then I reboot the device and it continues to be stuck on the G1 Splash Screen.
I can verify that I updated the Radio first and confrimed it was updated then updated the SPL and got formatting cache and waited like 15 mins and then now I am stuck.
So I what david1171 suggested and still nothing.
Any suggestions would be nice.
Thanks

Okay, so I know what everyone says, "make sure you know what you're doing before you update to Danger SPL." So I read and re-read all the forums and guides about various problems and how to avoid them and how to flash the radio and SPL, THEN after I was comfortable I decided to go for it.
So here is my issue:
I used the two sd card method. After wiping, I flashed the radio to 2.22.19.26I, then rebooted. I wiped again and flashed the SPL to 1.33.2005, took out the SD card and put the other one in. I rebooted from console (using command "reboot recovery"), wiped again, and flashed CM 4.2.10.1 and rebooted. After this final reboot it sticks at the G1 screen and doesn't do anything beyond here. I also tried reflashing everything and formatting the new SD card, then loaded the CM version with RA's USB-MS mode and flashed it. Same effect, stuck on G1 screen.
I still have access to the recovery image as well as fastboot and the screen with the androids on the scateboards (bootloader? I'm niot sure). WIth those things in mind, I don't think I have bricked anything, but of course that doesn't help the fact that I can't use the phone. Any help here would be AWESOME.

Just checking cause you didn't mention this step but before flashing Cyanogen 4.2.10.1 did you flash the HTC ADP image??
Have you tried flashing any other ROM's??
Since you still have recovery && bootloader you're not in a terrible position, you're not bricked, just gotta find out where you're going wrong

Snab a copy of cyanogen's rom (update.zip) and recovery image (on the forums)
Boot the phone into fastboot (power off, hold camera button and power on)
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
this should insure that you have a proper recovery image.
boot into recovery mode now (you can press the menu button to power off the device from the SPL menu, then hold the HOME button and power on the device)
Code:
adb devices
you may need to do this a couple times until it shows up, once adb reports your device is available
Code:
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push update.zip /sdcard
then press ALT+S (or select the option from the menu using your wheel)
let the rom flash.
when it's complete, reboot your device (HOME+BACK) or just use the menu again.
it should now boot.. if it takes a bit longer than usual, check if the device is active using:
Code:
adb devices
if your device is listed, see if it's actually doing something using
Code:
adb logcat
if you see a bunch of "E/" followed by text, your phone is erroring out and you may have to report back here for further assistance, if you see a bunch of "apks" and "jars" flying by, your phone is booting it's just checking signatures most likely.

ADP image? I did the steps exactly as I described them. Should I have flashed HTCs ADP image? I guess so, if thats what I did to get CM in the first place. Is that the image that puts all the Google Apps on the phone? Also, if I'm getting CM v4.2.10.1 from the website, and I'm coming from a new radio and SPL, should I have to treat it as though I'm not updating and am coming from a freshly rooted phone?
and @haykuro, I'll try that as soon as I get the time.
Before you flash Cyanogen for the first time you need to flash HTC's ADP image
Check out the Cyanogen's Wiki for a full guide on installing his rom
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
Since you've already gotten as far as getting a custom recovery skip down to the section called "File Download" and continue on, that should get you on the right track
Yes that is the image that get's you all the Google Apps
Yes after installing the 1.33.2005 SPL you have to reinstall a fresh ROM

Worked like a charm! Kinda makes me feel like an idiot though for not thinking about needing to treat it like a fresh install instead of an update, but I'm glad it worked!
Also, thanks for how quick you helped me out! I was only without my G1 for maybe 5 hours!

Man! 5 hours is 5 hours too long!
I posted this in the "Brick" thread but I have not garnered any attention and IRC has moved too fast to get any reliable help.
Hello,
I've done some searching and I cannot find any definitive answers to my problem.
I was on CM 4.2.9.1 and tried to upgrade to 4.2.10.1 and had a bad flash (stuck at android boot). I noticed there was a new update, 4.2.11.1 the next morning and thought I would wipe completely and update from RC29. I downloaded all the files necessary and used spl to downgrade to RC29 which booted fine. From there I got root and started the upgrade part. I installed the RArecovery 1.5.2 which went fine. I then installed the defanged HTC recovery image and CM 4.2.11.1 then the newest radio and rebooted. That went directly back to the RA recovery after installing the radio. From there I installed the Hard SPL. After that finished and rebooted the phone booted to the Hard SPL or the recovery image.
Thinking I had messed something up I though I could start over and try again. I then booted to the SPL bootloader and flashed the RC29 DREAIMG.NBH to start over.
After that completed the phone will only boot to the SPL bootloader, which is now the original SPL. I have tried to flash the DREAIMG.NBH multiple times with the same result. When holding down Home and Power I get the ! screen.
Is my phone bricked? Or is there an image that I can flash to save it?
Thanks for any help.

Does it boot up into RA recovery? from there you can flash any zip... If you got root and the right radio and SPL. Put the latest Cyan on your SD and boot into recovery and flash away... If you can get it to recovery you are not bricked...
Okay... i reread... may be beyond my limited knowledge...
3rd time... I would pop out your SD and put recovery.img fromhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480... and make sure HardSPL is on there... when you boot into recovery and get the "!" hit ALT-L to get the menu... then ALT-S to apply the update.zip(HardSPL)... heck just follow the steps from the link above...
GOOD LUCK
No recovery at all. I'm assuming it was flashed back to RC29 specs.
You're not bricked because you can boot into SPL. You still have a recovery image on there, not that it's a good one, it's just a basic HTC recovery. What you do have is a hardware problem with you camera button most likely. See if you can blow some compressed air in there, try tapping it a little bit, it may fix it.
Good luck
I got stuck in a bad situation like this a bit ago...
If nothing else, you should still be able to get the dreaming.nbh on there, upgrade to donut and then reroot.
It's not a problem with the camera button as I can still get to the SPL and flash the DREAIMG.nbh.
The DREAIMG.nbh flashes fine, everything gets an ok, but when I restart the phone it boots directly to the SPL.
Just a quick update:
I've gotten a hold of a different micro sdcard than the one that I was using in hopes that some weird formatting error was happening with my old card. Alas, even with this new and freshly formatted card the DREAIMG.nbh will still not take correctly. All parts report ok while flashing, but my phone still boots directly to the SPL on startup.
Can anyone help?
Im having the same problem, but I can get into recovery, sd only has an fat partition, I made a thread here, can the Mods delete it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619180
I have a G1 with CyanogenMod 1.4 recovery and the original SPL. It boots into either of those just fine.
When I select to apply any zip, I get the list of possibilities. I have tried wiping many times.
Whenever I choose an option from the recovery or flash something, a message appears that says
Code:
E: Can't read MISC:
(No space left on device)
This occurs even after a wipe. Also, I know that the SD card is not full or corrupted (I generally use it in a different G1).
After I have flashed something and reboot, it simply hangs at the G1 boot screen. I left it for half an hour, and it stayed that way.
Any thoughts?
what are you trying to flash? rom might require danger spl. i don't have a g1, so i'm not positive, but i'm willing to bet on it.
I actually tried flashing the danger SPL. In spite of saying "reboot to complete installation," I know it does not work. if I hold Camera as I turn on, it is still the original SPL.
Next bet?

1.33.2005 is what the danger spl shows up as, which i believe is your "stock" spl. if you installed it and rebooted without any errors it works. simple and plain.
Does the danger SPL look like the original (RGB color testing)? That is what shows up when I boot with camera pressed.
I was trying to flash either Super D or CyanogenMod, when I follow the instructions for either of them and do the final reboot, it never leaves the G1 logo screen. Yes I know that it is a while for the dalvik-cache to be reworked.
I have flashed roms successfully many times on my other G1.
I am very curious what the error message that I posted earlier means. Thanks for your suggestions!
Sorry for the double post. I have an update. I am pretty sure there is a problem with the NAND chip or something similar. I flashed the Amon_RA recovery, and it worked. I used Amon_RA to wipe, and re-partition the SD card. I then tried flashing the HTC 1.6 image for ADP1. And it worked. It booted into 1.6 with no problem (except that I no longer had root). So I tried to get root again. First I tried the Recovery Flasher app. It said that it failed. So I downloaded the DREAIMG.nbh to get back to RC29. When I ran it, I got
Code:
DREAIMG.nbh - FAIL
Update Terminate
UPDATE FAIL
Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!
[RESOLVED]
UPDATE: Apparently that last bit ended with bricking the phone. I took out the SD, put DREAIMG.nbh back on it. Put it back in the phone. Re-flashed from the SPL (holding camera while pressing power). It worked. I then went through with regular rooting, putting Amon_RA on there, with Super D 1.8. Everything smooth. I have no idea what really fixed it, but everything works fine.

*sorry double post, browser messed up*
I'm helping a friend with a hand-me-down G1 upgrade from 1.6 to CyanogenMod 6.1 using the wiki cyanogen links, which basically told me to downgrade to RC29 / RC7 DREAIMG.nbh file after reformatting the sdcard, then root the phone using telnet, flash Amon_Ra's Recovery using telnet, flash 2.22.23.02 radio using recovery, then install dangerspl, cyanogenmod 6.1 and tiny google apps.
As far as I know, I followed every step. I did get stuck a couple of times while installing DangerSPL. I'd fastboot and hit call+menu+end and instead of rebooting, it would install dreaimg.nbh again (since I used fastboot to flash dreaimg.nbh earlier and still had it on the root of the sdcard) and I would have to start over again and re-root, re-flash Amon_Ra's Recovery and the 2.22.23.02 radio. That happened twice before I decided to take dreaimg.nbh off of the sdcard, since I realized that it had already been flashed onto the phone and would probably work. Once I did that, the call+menu+end during fastboot worked and it restarted, which is what it was supposed to do. Kept trying and trying to hit the home button as quickly as possible to get to recovery, like the instructions said, but it wouldn't work. So I took a chance and booted into recovery using home+power and flashed Danger SPL, which seemed to install well, and Cyanogenmod 6.1 and tiny google apps. All seemed to be going well until rebooting the system. The cyanogenmod splash screen popped up after the g1 screen and just sits there, stuck in a boot loop. I waited a good 10 minutes before I pulled the battery and tried again...same thing. Also wiped the dalvik cache and cache, which i saw on the first page of this thread, to no avail. Can anyone tell me where I went wrong and what I can do to pull out of it and successfully install this rom? Really want to get this back to my friend. Also hoping his contacts are still on his sim card after all this... I flashed dreaimg.nbh, per the first step, and noticed that the contacts didn't come up after this. The data on the phone works and the phone number shows up under about phone but since I haven't gotten any further than that OS I can't tell. No where have I seen in the instructions that I had to pull my sim card before flashing... hope it's all good. Any help with any of this would be greatly appreciated.
As you can tell, I'm new to all this. I own a Samsung Moment and flash ROM's on it all the time but that process is much simpler than this one. Have never dealt with a boot loop so I'm a little unsure of what to do.

Is this bricking the phone?
I can boot to AMON-RA, but I have no valid image loaded, it goes to G1 and just sits there. Is this recoverable in any way?

What radio and SPL did you use?
I tried to load 2708 - didn't check the load, no errors, so assumed it work, anxious to get Froyo - however it appears it did not work. I have Radio 2.22.23.02 running according to the rainbow screen....aaargh
Amon-RA does come up - Since I cannot boot, the only thing that occurs to me is to put my SD card into another phone or maybe a computer with a Micro SD ram slot and upload the 2708 radio?
FROM "around the world" Thanks much,
Ok, plug your g1 into your usb, go into bootloader (Home+power), press alt+x, and type in "echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file" without the quotations. Then your computer should be able to access the sdcard, then just simply put the update.zip file on the card and reflash it.
this works perfectly for putting data to SD.
trying to start over
I tried to wipe and load 2708, it errors out and won't install...It probably failed loading earlier and I just didn't notice.
Back to stock, need to find how to reload FLASH_IMAGE it is not obvious how to add it to the BIN file...+Amon-Ra...
I can't find another source for 2708 radio, anyone else?
