So you've tried wiping and reflashing? Which version?

We here at XDA are pretty intelligent, but a far cry from "all-knowing"...so we need info about your device before anyone can diagnose a problem...otherwise we just hafta guess...its helpful if you include this info in your sig (you can do this by clicking "userCP" at the top left of the forum and click "edit signature" on the lefthand side...), as seen in mine:
Device
ROM
Recovery
SPL
Any theme you may be running
anything else you use that you think may be useful in diagnosing problems.
This way we can help you out faster, and without you having to retype this info everytime you post a question...please list these data for us and describe in as much detail as you can what the problem is and how (or how you THINK) it came about. Well try to help you out to the best of our abilities, have you tried doing a SEARCH to see if someone else has already had this problem? it could be the answer you're looking for...

Currupt Programs and failed boots

Hi , ive had the issue with randomly being stuck in the SPL a few weeks ago but the problem seemed to just go away by itself . Yesterday i flashed a ROM and noticed that after the first or second reboot i was getting stuck at the boot screen (Not the SPL the screen after that with the info in red) .
Today i flashed back to my current ROM and noticed the same problem again when installing programs one cab would fail and all other installs after that . When i rebooted i got stuck at the boot screen (again not the SPL)
so after another try i finally got all programs installed and rebooted but when i reached the today screen my background was gone and i got an exception about the programs in the startup folder not being found .
After opening file explorer it seems most programs are corrupt and will not run . Has anyone got any ideas on what i should try to fix this ?
Update im afraid its not good news i tried to work around the problem with sprite backup but things seem to have got worse .
Im now permanently stuck at the smart mobility screen with my radio information being displayed in red . Ive tried flashing a new rom and hard reseting which is all perfectly stable but i just cant get past the smart mobility screen .
Whats weird is the led on the left is blinking green , Any ideas before i downgrade (tiltscreen) to a Sony X1 (Dpad and hardware buttons)
Similar...May Help Some

Hi there,
We didn't get there the same way, and I don't have the 'blinking green' LED, But I've got a similar "stuck" problem on the Forum here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508100
I'll follow yours and you can check this one out...I may be getting some help from 'higher powers' soon if I don't find a resolution on my own.
Wish I could actually ANSWER your question, and I'll let you know if I find anything else myself...
On the un-bricked road less traveled,

Am ok this is weird everythings back to normal now I turned it on this morning and it boots up fine no problems installing programs or anything .
Confused
That's Good...Though Agreed Confusing...News
Wow...so, good for you! I'm happy that your's did not proceed as mine has...or better said, has NOT.
Wish mine would just 'turn on and boot up fine', but it appears that I may be Murphy's bastard child.
Murphy has a theory of relativity that has nothing to do with Mass or the Speed of Light...
It simply states that if you're a relative of Murphy's, it WILL happen to YOU...hence the offspring reference.
On the other hand, confusion can be good...I'll bet it had you searching the Forum and finding out stuff you didn't know.
If nothing else, maybe you found some cool new ways to get into completely different kinds of trouble!
Glad to see your out of the glitch, hang in there...not by your neck!

Get into bootloader and flash stock ROM, know you said can't use buttons but maybe camera and reset is
May be blind doing so but worth a shot.

is there any other ways guys??help please...i'm bored without using my tytn..
I've had a problem lately too where my screen will go white, while apps still seem to continue running.
Sometimes, just turning off the screen, then sliding it open will fix it. Other times I have to pull the battery.
As of yesterday, I can also no longer read any memory card in the phone. I think its time for a new phone. I just passed that 2 year expiration date.
man...still no answer yet..i have no idea what is going on with this phne..warranty also expired..any help guys???please....

I think the problem are the 2 screen connectors. You must open the screen part of the cover and tighten the conectors.
Good luck.

my phone went fubar,but not bricked after flashing cyanogen 6.0..help!

Well heres the story. I flashed cyanogen 6.0 and all was great,fast,smooth,perfect... Then it all went downhill. The backlight cut out. After wiping,reflashing,doing everything possible as far as that it was still the same.
I soon figured out that if i lock my phone while it was closed, then slid it open and hit menu the backlight would turn on, but it will not work when its not slid open at all.
Problem #2
As i have been dealing with the first problem and i dont have alot of time to fix it because of work and all, it grew even worse. Now when i do what i was doing to get the backlight to come on, The phone will randomly freeze/backlight wont come on at all/ Screen wont even come on.
When i turn on the phone sometimes the screen wont even come on but the backlight will and it wont get anywhere."blank lit black screen no tmobile g1 logo"
This also happens when i go to recovery using home+power. I remedy that by taking out the battery and starting the phone till it works.
Could someone please help me out here i dont really have to much to spend on a new phone and it would be great if i can get this one going like it should again.
you need to wipe before reinstall
if you have armonR, you wipe everything the wipe menu and flash the rom and the flash gapp-3
ive done that many times, hasnt solved anything. i dont know whats going on..getting to the point where i might just break down and get a htc hd2 and put android on it
Try flashing the Defanged Base (which you can find on the cyanogen wiki) then flash the Rom again.
to be honest it was time for an upgrade anyways, now i have the samsung vibrant. Its awesome. Thank you for the help anyways though.

You lucky f***! How are you liking it? I was thinking about getting one soon but i havent talked to anyone with one. Is there anything you dont like about it?

[Q] Black Screen of Death?

When I try to start my G1 the display just stays black, not the "stuck on g1 screen" problem, it stays black and it doesn't vibrate like it usually does when starting it.
What I did was rooting, changing recovery to amonra 1.7.0 and installing the spl_1_33_2003.zip spl update, the update was successfully as it restarted normally and started to boot. Then I wanted to get to the bootloader mode so I pulled the battery. Since then the only Reactions are the red LED when charging and the Blue LED when getting in this JTAG-Mode or whatever.
I couldn't find any thread about this problem and I already did this whole procedure on another G1 without any problems.
I really hope, that you can help me
you should have waited for it to boot before pulling the battery
it is a 2 stage install, first is preps , then it reboots and competes the flash
you have a brick now

You should not have pull the battery, that is a no no especially during the install.
Are you able to even go into any mode? IE: camera+power, etc...
Nope, no Mode works, tried every combination, it just wont start-.-

U definitely have a bricked G1.
Well if u can't get into recovery nor bootloader its a sure sign of a brick...
How charged was ur battery? My battery died one time and it wouldn't load up as well. It went from a full charge to nothing.. just a thought....
But try charging it and try to get back Into bootloader.. but don't rule anything out.
Will think more but keep us posted

Oh! Yea! Happens to mine last weekend. But mine was doing the splash screen loops.
Battery was about at 50%. Tried with another battery and everything's the same. Looks like I really bricked it-.-
Anyway, thanks for the help
Future reference when doing serious mods such as updating spl, radio always make sure you have a full charge as these things can drain ur battery pretty quick. And the last thing u want is for ur battery to die in the middle.....
Have u tried reformatting ur sdcard. ?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Why should I reformat it, it makes no difference at all if an sdcard is inside or not, and the sdcard is working without any problems
Weirld **** happens man, , just a simple question. Never hurts to explore all options.. I'm done good luck

It does, sometime SD Card get corrupted. And it will prevent your phone from booting up correctly especially when you SD to install your apps etc...

Lost boot up everything fuzzy, apps not working properly

After re flashing, I must of messed something up because when it boots the screen goes fuzzy and blank, you have to press the home button a few times to get the home screen to show, none of the apps work or market place or browser.
I have tried about 4 different versions of the Gingerbread o.s My tab is a sprint, also when the battery icon shows when charging that goes all fuzzy.
Hope some body can help
Thanks

Take another look at this section of forum. Now think, does it look absolutely anything like a section you should be posting a topic in???
Dev forum is for developments, not general discussion or questions and answers, They logically go in, err hmm let me think. "General" and "Q&A".
