Need help !!!! - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just flashed the latest JAC's hero. Everything seemed fine ( I did wipe cuz I went from CM 4.0.4 ), but now I got stuck at the HTC logo. I don't think I am really stuck cuz I just received a phone call and I answered it fine. I can even unlock the screen by dragging down but after that, it's the HTC logo, I can't get pass ! Please help !!!

Bad flash/corrupt download? You have the correct partitions and radio/spl right?

Yes, I have 3 partitions ( FAT32/EXT3/32mb-SWAP ). I did flashed the Haykuro's SPL so there's hell no way it's because of my redio or SPL. Thanks for replying anyway

Wipe, reflash, it's a bad launcher, well rosie. Might be a bug, if it happens again, change roms

Well I don't think it's a bootloop since all the buttons light up and the phone went to sleep ! Never had this before, it's just weird though

It's not a bootloop, I just told you what it is, I had it happen on a cyan rom with the advance launcher

It's just hanging there on the HTC screen ! What do you suggest ? I read from the development section and they said it took a while to get it booted up the first time

that is correct how long did you let it sit? It can take up to about 15 minutes to get the setup screens.

dude it just takes a while for your phone to get used to hero. this happens every time i flash one but after half an hour it gets hella fast. give it time

Thank u guys, I waited patiently and the phone finally booted up ! My only concern is that I just reformatted my SD to get 96 MB SWAP. I tried to upgrade to ext3 by typing upgrade_fs but when I pressed print to double check, it was still ext2 =.=" Any suggestion ?
Nvm, I did it though ( it was just a bad mistake when I entered the script in parted )

Something similar to this happened to me, and a hard reset wouldn't work. I had to send it back to AT&T. Sorry man, hope you have better luck than I did.

have you tried a hard reset, press down 2 softkeys and stick in reset button and release before letting go of the 2 soft keys. then follow on screen instructions ?
more info needed though ie can you access the bootloader, have you previously put a hard spl on your phone and if so which version.
god reading here on how to get phone back up and working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423486 and here too
i have the version from att
Ok now I got it to stop restarting but now its stuck

From your response I'd say your best option if a hard reset does not work would be to see if you can access the bootloader screen ( press camera button and soft reset ) it looks like three colours on your phone. If you can then download an original rom for your phone and follow the instructions to place it on your phone.
Anyone have any better idea's
back in an hour let me know how you got on
That's the only conceivable idea probably. After you go into bootloader mode, flash the stock ROM and then if you have hardspl, install the custom ROM that you prefer.
Well i guess i can kiss all my #'s goodbye...you know what.....I think I want a custom rom...anyknow know where i can go to get a good one

Dont go custom yet mate, try a stock rom and get it up and running first. Then take your time to read about soft / hard spl's and radios etc before diving in with a full custom rom. Believe me its worth it to understand everything first
AND READ THIS FIRST http://sakajati.com/forum/index.php/topic,3.0/prev_next,next.html#new
Thank you guys for your help....I downloaded the att rom from the htc website and i got my tilt running like new.....and I got all my #'s back ...looks like outlook does a good job hehehe

Hero wont Boot Pass The Htc Screen

its not bootlooping its stuck at the htc scrren u get after it completes the second boot screen....the staus bar appears then disappears and leaves me stuck at the htc screen
what should i do???
i have tried formatting ext3 partition and reflashing but it never works!
any suggestions????
Happened to me too, i solved it by repartitioning my whole card, i think it's bad to only erase the ext3 when you are hopping builds. Probably from hopping JAC to Drizzy, or maybe it's just the old build to the new HTC dump. I really dunno. but thats what i did and it worked.
I first just turned off my phone and turned it back up. Everything loaded, but i had a 0% chance to recieve messages. So yeah it's important to let it fully load.

STUCK IN Tmobile g1 Screen! HELP!

For some odd reason everytime I try to install the cyanogen rom v4.0.4 I believe its one of the stable ones, I do everything to root my fone and install the rom and my fone says its done w the updates and to reboot it and when I do it stays @ the g1 screen. Now I take the battery out and press the cam and end buttons to reinstall the dreaimg to take it back to rc29 state. When I power it up it works just fine the lil android dude pops up and i put in my info and then just redo the steps to the cyanogen rom and for some reason my fone will install everything I will assume properly and i go to reboot it and it stays on the tmobile g1 screen.
I need help! I have tried and tried and Idk what to do now.
This all started bc I deleted something from the cm updater and my fone hasnt worked since...if ne one can help me plz email me @ [email protected]....

try flashing another build. or wait about 15 maybe 20mins and see if goes away. or just do wipe... or i bet its your sd card try getting to the point where it hangs take out the sd card and then turn it on again.
The first boot after each flash or dalvik-cache dump will take a long time. Just be patient.

Yes a real long time, right fingerlickin. lol
But if you loaded RC29 back then your gonna have to reroot.
I would suggest wiping if you issue isn't fixed by waiting. I've had to wipe a few times jumping between Experimental and Stable builds mainly because of big Donut differences in the build's.
Fixed???
I think it may have fixed it self, I had my friend look @ it and I had taken the sd card out of it and showed him what happened and he left it alone and it came up w/ an update now he did and its working now like normal...SOoO im scared to try again jus bc i dont wanna f*** it up again but Im stubbern and w/ the info ive learned so far on all these sites I just may do it all over again.
Use THIS guide next time.

T-Mobile G1 almost DEAD or what to do ?

I was updating my G1 to Kingxkxlick ROM & it was just stuck at screen of X, I tried to re-update it via RECOVERY, & I don't know but it restarted when I click to HOME for update.
When it restarts, it showed G1 & X logo, stuck there for a while, but THEN I TOOK OUT THE BATTERY
& It's no more working, not charging, not turning on, BATTERY WAS 100% charged
Please help me out, I don't wanna lose my g1, i'm not even in US right now
If you get to the boot screen and you've past the G1 logo, your phone is fine. Its the ROM you're trying to flash.
Make sure before flashing any rom that you do a factory data wipe, dev wipe, and make sure you have 3 partitions, swap, ext2-3-4,and fat
once you have done this, make sure youre using kingklicks 6.1 first, then upgrade to the 7
Kings 7 rom is only minor changes to add to the base 6.1, if you're trying to flash the newest update alone, if you notice its only 6MB which is definatly NOT the correct size a ROM should be.
So download the older version 6+ then flash, then without rebooting, flash update version 7 over it, and then reboot.
Hope that helps!
To be more clear than the guy above me...
Assuming your talking about this King rom.

If its not turning on, then I'm pretty sure it's dead. Needs a new board all together, I had the same thing happen to me, pretty much the same exact way. It was taking way too long to boot (20+ mins) so I took out the battery and now won't turn on at all. If you find a way to fix it let me know so I can revive mine.

I contacted some local repairers, they just told that it need to get it's boot reset by putting some wires & stuff on board to make it work again.
It's costing me too much so I haven't done it by yet (almost 5,000 PKR)
If anyone here know the thing I told, do let me know, I can do it by myself (can take risk), but can't spend that much money lol

They trying to rip you off.. Nobody has got JTAG working on the g1 yet, they can't do anything by "putting some wires and stuff on board". If it won't charge and won't turn on, there's nothing you can do except replace the board.

what's the lowest price I have to pay for motherboard of G1, because it's not available in local market by now ?
You won't find the mainboard for sale anywhere, so your best bet is to search ebay for a g1 with a broken screen.. then you can swap in the board from that and keep the rest of the parts as spares:
http://cgi.ebay.com/T-Mobile-G1-Bro...Cell_Phones?hash=item2eabb4e988#ht_500wt_1182
edit: before you go swapping the board.. have you tried a different battery? it could be as simple as that.
