help please, possible brick

I have been useing the JF 1.51 build for awile and decided to change to cyanogen's 1.6 tonight. the recovery programs are not identical but seemed similar enough. I got the recovery image and the cyanogen build, put them both on my sd card. Because of the JF recovery module I only had options to install update.zip so I renamed the recovery image to update.zip and installed it. I then restarted the phone so I could change the name of the cyanogen image to update.zip (I now realize I probably could have just taken the SD card out and done that on my computer and put it back in while still in the recovery console) so I could go back and install it but when I restarted it took forever to get into the android os and got force close errors on every possible program and couldn't do anything. I then restarted to get into the recovery console but I now get at picture showing a phone with a error triangle on top of it. if anyone has any suggestions please help

if you can get into bootloader (camera and power) then flash the DREAIMG.nbh file, and re-root your phone.

it went to the bootloader screen instantly, red green blue white stripes and says
drea100 pvt 32b
hboot-0.95.000
cpld-4
radio-2.22.19.261
sep 2 2008

I havn't messed with anything of this stuff in months so I can't remeber anything of this stuff and can't find anything online, I really dont' want to screw this up. what am I supposed to do from this screen? I know I sound like a moron but I jus don't want to truly brick this phone if its not already lol

you have a stock spl, but you can still flash the DREAIMG.nbh file, it will not brick your phone. if you are in the united states then grab rc29, if in the uk grab rc7, this is a good thread for flashing the file, and re-rooting your phone. also it will get you to the latest cyanogen rom.

thanks alot for your help! I'll try this and let you know but happends, I'm sure this will work from skimming over it.

no problem, you are welcome.

Please Help-"No Image File!"

Hey guys: My phone froze randomly while i was listening to music, so naturally i restarted holding the home+power+menu buttons. Ive restarted my phone several times using this method without any problems. this time around it loads to a screen that im not too familiar with: it has three little android guys skateboarding on the bottom and a solid yellow line in the middle that says "Serial0", up top it says:
DREA100 PVT 32B
HSPL10.95.3000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
Oct 20 2008
it loads to that screen and then from a brief second a gray screen pops up and says "No Image File!"
it wont let me load into recovery to wipe, ive tried just pulling out the battery, sim, and SD card and it still goes straight to this screen.
I am/ was running Cyanogen's latest rom and my sd card had ext3/linux swap.
i tried researching this and no luck...im pretty desperate for help..
so please and thank you for any advice/ways to fix this!

ive managed to get into the recovery, but after several wipes it still goes into the same screen (the screen where you hold the camera and power button). so i decided to throw in the DEAIMG-RC29 and it asked me if to install it so i did. but it still keeps going back to that screen...
anyone.please. any advice...This phone is my life! so could really really use some help..id be so grateful

did you get any errors when you flashed RC29? because if your still seeing skateboards after flashing RC29....something went wrong

no, i got the screen with the blue green and red bars. i just tried draining the battery but still no luck, it still keeps going back to this screen

well if everything is stock and its still doing that.....make sure your camera key isnt stuck.
See if you can boot into recovery with
adb shell reboot recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and if all else fails, just call tmo and tell them to replace the phone

One touch on cupcake 1.5 failed

hey guys, i tryed the one clik meth od here:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how...-in-one-click/
after everything, when i get to step 12 and reboot my phone (holding home and power) my phone just freezes with the rogers logo up (i need to remove battery to get back).
What can I try next to root my phone? should i first restore my back up image that i made with the program before I do anything else?
I need some help as i really need to root this phone for 2 reasons
1)apps on sd
2)Rogers locked out the touchscreen keyboard

Follow this, if you want CM keep going all the way through, if you want someone else's ROM then flash that instead of CM's.

hey, ok so my latest update is that i got myself to SPL 1.33.2005
i was able to boot into everything that was needed (power + camera) (power + home)
I am now at this step:

Look at where he posts his info he has:

I have:
DREAM PVT 32B SHIP S-OFF
does it matter that mine says S-OFF

Hold your horses! That isn't the link I gave you to follow... You are in dangerous territory right now... what all have you done, exactly? Flashing that SPL can and will brick your phone if not done right.

I was using the link you gave me, close to the top it says to follow the linked guide for rogers phones as they are done differently(my phone is rogers)
that link leads you to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558301
once done that it says to go to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4848777&postcount=506 (never mind i should not use this as his spl is different as well, not the spl gotten from the previous link)
OR
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654
this first one is a relply of the second link (supposedly easyer)
LAST EDIT:
So, should i continue following
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654

Ok, carry on! As long as your reasd twice and do once you should be ok. And don't worry about the 'on' vs 'off', the big concern is what board do you have, and you have the 32b PVT, which is the one you need. I believe that 'on' 'off' is in regards to carrier lock.

like i edited, the first link guy does not have the SPL that I now have, i will be following the final link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654
When it says:
"once you are at SPL 1.33.2005 (AND ONLY THEN)
download this (it is hyperlinked)
(md5: 4a58a5702fdf899547011888d9cc066f .. sha1: 99e38e4f8798e952e67421a42e7b053ea70957b7)
extract both images wherever you'd like."
does it mean extract whereever on the sd?

I would assume extract and place on the root of the SD card based off the fact you will be doing all this from fastboot, aka the phone itself.

alright so i did that stuff, now when i boot the phone hangs at the rogers logo, what should i try.

did make a nandorid back up in the recovery menu a little while ago, how an i use it to go back? or is there another option to do something?
I can still boot into the recovery menu and camera+ power menu

Can you get into recovery? First boots take a long time as well, how long has it been hung up? But it sounds like you don't have a ROM on the device currently.

I can get into recovery, It was hung for like 4-5 minutes before i reset it. I dont think i did the fastboot stuf right, I pressed send inorder to fastboot, it said fastboot and i started typing the stuff on the link (you cannot see anything i was just typing) i then rebooted to recovery and Alt+s applyed the update (cynogen).
it is hung at the rogers screen. Can you try and translate the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654
a bit better and i can try the fast boot part again?
In the guide it says press back arrow to get inot fast boot but on my screen there is only one option for fastboot and it is the send button.

I tryed to use the update.zip file again but this time it said that it could not mount and that the directory does not exist.

It sounds like you did do the fastboot right, actually, since if you didn't it would boot up fully...
I would try this, dl this rom and put it on the root of your sd card, then boot into recovery mode and select "flash any .zip update" or whatever the exact wording is, then select the file named "dwang-v1.15" and follow the onscreen prompts. It is also probably a good idea to get your phone on a charger sometime soon, wouldn't be surprised if the battery is getting close to dead since when in fast boot and recovery and during boot up itself battery drain is pretty quick.
I truly think you did the fastboot stuff right, since when done you should have the SPL and radio, recovery, but no ROM and need to boot into recovery and flash the new ROM.
Forgot to give the link to the ROM, it is dwang's, my personal favorite and a good starting point to work from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567023

the option is apply update.zip so i should probably change the file name to that. Ill give it a go.

its still hanging on the rogers icon, weird. Perhaps i should use the nandoid backup? if you agree that that is the best option how would i do that?
another note, when i tryed to flash the rom you gave me it did not let me, game a an error about mounting and cannot find a file, I then put the recovery images back onto the sd card and the operation worked this time, it was unpackin na extracting and everything. Now it is still hung.

I would probably just nandroid at this point, yes

can ou guide me on how to do that?

Hmmmmmmm, do this for me as well, boot into boot loader (camera+power) and tell me what it says on the screen.

HTC Dream Boot Issues

Hello. I am new to the Android scene, just came over from the iPhone scene. Sooo. i got my Android G1 today and it came with Super D firmware, if i remember correctly it was 1.6. I wanted to go back to stock, so i downloaded the stock firmware and placed it in the root of a freshly formatted 4gb SDHC card. It installed and then prompted for reboot. I rebooted and i have left the phone on trying to get it to boot into OS but to no avail. I tried booting to recovery screen but i didnt get any menu and had to key alt+l in my keyboard. I did a wipe and rebooted. Still couldn't boot up. Holding the Camera and power button gives me this :

Any ideas?
EDIT: Just realized for god's sake, i flashed the RC29 firmware when i was supposed to flash the RC7 one. F***. Now i need to find a way to flash back. Any ideas?

First thing to do is read everything two times... including the FAQs... too many noobs have bricked their devices... Thus dettering them and anyone they talk to from committing to Android... Take your time research and watch a vid first...

Nah, i just screwed up. Didnt know why i went to flash RC29 anyway. Gonna get a goldcard tomorrow with the help of someone. Then i can get pass the error of flashing another firmware.

Okay, so i got a gold card and reflashed the RC7 image and it booted. Done everything including rooting but i cant install the radio as i cant get into recovery. If i hold home + power button i will boot into fastboot mode. Why.
Apparently telnet wasnt flashing the img file properly.
EDIT: Now getting stuck at the Nexus One X Android Screen in a loop.
EDIT 2: Did a reboot. Now all is good. ^_^

[Q] Can i bring my bricked G1 back to life?

Hello, and welcome myself to this wonderful forum.
Let me introduce myself:
My name is Mish , im a 100% dumbass
Also BIG! thanks for sh1tty cyan's wiki about flashing with dangerspl.
Let me tell you my story:
In a cold night, a boy tried to update his G1 to android 2.2 , updated dreaimg.nbh , rooted the device, installed recovery image . that boy was so excited his 1st android, his 1st up mod.
but that boy was upset, didnt wanted to get his update.zip installed because of the status 7 error. well done , he just looked into the cyan's bloody wiki and he found the magic archive called Danger SPL.
flashed it , rebooted it and stucked into G1 T-mobile Splash screen .. he was like . ah , allrite, i'l reboot and enter to recovery mode . but he cannot do that.
He was so anger . he kissed his keyboard with 2 gently strikes. and searched for hours for solutions but nothing found.
I dont have pages to write the whole story. Aka the end.
in other words, can i get my device working or should i give him wings to fly straight on the garbage can ?

Can you get into fastboot mode? Also i think in the instructions it tells you to flash the radio first. I could be wrong but several people have successfully rooted their device with the instructions given here on xda. Welcome to xda btw.
John

Hello John, i can't enter to fastboot mode or i dont know , it shows me just the T-mobile G1 Splash screen and nothing more, tried with Camera + Power, Volume + Power, Home + Power and still nothing . if you have any hints please share, regards.

Can you reboot holding back and power and get into fastboot?

nope , is stucked in G1 splash screen

I did the same thing and had the same problem - had to replace the motherboard. There is NO WAY to fix it except to replace the mainboard. Good Luck

Is my phone a goner?
I wasn't trying to root or modify my phone in any way. It started flickering and then went black. Now...
Phone does not power on. Not with power button or any combo (camera+power; home+power; etc).
No LED notification. Not even orange when charging.
Eventually starts in tri-color/rainbow/RGB Bootloader ON ITS OWN (no keystrokes). Sometimes after 1 min, sometimes after 20+. Once in Bootloader, it stays there. If it's plugged in and charging, the Bootloader stays on even after battery pull.

Reformatted SD card and installed original SPL (renamed install.zip) and DREAIMG.nbh to the SD's root. When my phone eventually started in Bootloader (on its own), it went into the install phase, completed, and asked for reboot. I pressed the trackball (action button), it rebooted, and hasn't done a thing since.

Cyan's wiki is one of the most well written, organized and constanly updated around. Don't blame wiki for something that you did.
Take a look at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=DreamangerSPL#Flashing_DangerSPL, how can anyone miss this?
Congrats on your new paperweight.

Do you have access to another battery? I would try that first. This is not a software issue, if new battery doesn't fix it... you may be better off getting another G1 of CL or Ebay (I hear of folks picking them up for less then $50 nowadays)
