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 <_<

HELP!! G1 in Recovery will not wipe, flash, fix etc...

Ok, So I dusted off the old G1 for the first time since I got my Nexus in and I wanted to flash a new ROM. I booted into recovery and proceeded to wipe everything and I get Data Wipe Aborted, This message happens for everything I do i.e. Installation aborted, Partitioning aborted, Fixing aborted. The only thing I can do is go into console and mount USB. in console I get this when I try to mount -a [mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on system/sd failed:No such file or directory. I have a 4g sd card in that has been fully formatted with the laest radio and SPL on it. but thats it.
Can anyone help me? I'll give ya a buck.

Can you get in fastboot or h-boot? if so- then just go back to RC29 or RC7 and go from there... something obviously got borked.... sh!t happens... at least you have your N1

try using the DREAMING.NBH file for your region i..e usa or europe
they can be fouond on cyanogens wiki page easily and re-root your device.
would fix the problem. i had a similar problem and it solved it

I remember running into the same exact messages!
I was low on battery power at the time (~20%), so I left it charging, attempted to wipe/partition/flash after that, and it worked. I'm sure your battery drained a bit and ended up pretty low since the arrival of your N1 lol.
Enjoy

Thanks Fellas
Haha Thanks fellas, I got it workin' I guess it just had to be on for a little bit. Since it hasnt been on since I got my n1. Works fine now. The in-call volume is very low now... Is there a new Kernel I can flash to increase it to at least back to stock or louder? The Louder Volume Hack does not fix it

N1 acting up

Hey
I had posted earlier about my N1 not connecting to my network. I thought the problem was fixed, but I guess I was wrong. The problem is deeper than that. I flashed CM7 Nightly. All was well but the mobile network wasn't working. The reception bars were zero with a small cross on them. I flashed MM's Gingerbread. The network got stuck like that. No bars. On the lockscreen it read "(No Service)|Airtel" (airtel being the name of my service provider). Then I found out that audio wasn't working either. No audio from the speakers or 3.5mm jack. I changed roms, changed sims, everything. Nothing worked. I tried my sim in another phone and it worked perfectly.
I then tried updating the hboot. It seemed to have worked but a reboot later I was back on square one.
I then tried to update my radio (I'm on 4.6. Tried to update to 5.12) but on connecting the USB cable the notification didn't pop up. The charging LED lit up but that's all. I tried mounting my SD card through AmonRA's recovery but my PC did not detect it.
What could be wrong with my Nexus One? I've been using this phone for about 10 months now and after this I'm back to my old Sony Ericsson w705. It's unbearable. Somebody please help me. Any help will be appreciated.

Have you tried returning to stock to see if the situation improves?
You did do a nandroid backup of your stock ROM before flashing everything yes?

I rooted when I still had eclair and haven't been on stock ever since. I have a nandroid backup of my stock eclair ROM. I think I'll download a stock FRF91 and try it. I updated the radio to 5.12 but it has had no effect on the problem. I'll try a stock 2.2 ROM tomorrow since it's night here in India right now. Thanks for your response.

Hey, sorry for my long absence. I had been caught up.
Well, here's where I stand: I tried all the roms I could find- stock 2.2, cm 5, cm 6, cm 7, MIUI, 2.3, everything. But my phone just shows no service. Nothing in the device status too. There is no audio, neither through the speaker, nor through the 3.5mm port. And the worst of all, it refuses to mount the SD card. When I connect my N1 to my PC the charging LED glows orange but no USB mount message appears. I've tried mount widgets and apps but nothing happens. I can't even mount the SD card through the recovery (Amon RA, latest). I tried ADB devices but it didn't show any connected devices. What should I do?
I'm currently using my old Sony Ericsson w705 and going from Android to J2ME isn't really something anyone would like. I will be really grateful if someone could help me fix my beloved N1.

I guess you're out of options - restore your phone to stock and send to HTC for repairs. This seems to be the only answer to your troubles.
Read my signature, look there for Unroot/restore guide, PASSIMG method, using FRG33 ROM. Execute the guide. If your phone starts working - great, if not - send to HTC.

I guess that's what I'll have to do. Thanks for your response. I'll get down to restoring it to stock.

Hey
I tried the PASSIMG.zip method. I got back to stock hoping it would fix the problems but no luck there. I live in India so it's unlikely I will be able to send the phone to HTC. Besides, I unlocked my bootloader so my warranty is void.
Anyway, I think I may have found a lead. After the PASSIMG.zip didn't fix it, I went back to CM7 nightlies. I installed SPB shell ui. It comes with it's own wallpaper and changed my wallpaper to its own wallpaper. Anyway, I was updating the nightly build and I did a complete wipe a couple of times. After I flashed the new build and it booted, I realized that the wallpaper from the SPB shell ui was still there. I have a habit of wiping every time I flash. When I updated again it was gone. But a few builds later it was back.
What I think is that there is something wrong in the system partition and clearing it might solve the problem. But then again, I might be wrong. I would appreciate some advice on this matter.

Edit: I wiped the /system partition through root explorer. It didn't fix the problem. Could there be some other files in the phone memory that could be causing this problem?

[Q] Wondering if im screwed or not

OK so heres my story of what happened to my Captivate. I plan on getting an SIII sometime in the next couple of weeks, but it would be nice to get my Captivate up and running again in case I need it sometime in the future.
So I was running CM9 on my phone, not sure which build, not sure if it matters. Phone was still in my pocket when I went swimming. Left it in a bag of rice, and it booted up. I got the message that said Encryption failed...reset phone or whatever. I figured it would just format it and didnt know that it would lead to more problems. So based on what I have read on the site, now my internal SD is fried im assuming. Now I tried following some guides for using an external SD card but I couldnt get it to partition from ClockworkMod, and I couldnt get into download mode for a few days because something probably got messed up internally from water damage. I managed to get into download mode today and tried running an Odin One-Click to see if it would help at all. Now my phone brings up the AT&T World Phone screen, then shuts off as soon as the screen normally transitions into the next step of the boot process.
So thats my story. I just want to know if anyone knows if this is still a problem with the SD card or if my phone is completely beyond repair. Thanks a lot to anyone that tries to help

You got hit by the EU (encryption unsuccessful) bug. From what I hear not a whole lot you can do now except try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303
There are a couple other threads in the dev section about this as well.

Ya that was the guide I tried but my external SD card wont partition, at least not through clockworkmod. When i press the button to partition, the partition process is instant, and i know it just has to skip it because there is no way it would partition that fast.

You could always pay to have jtag performed. It will overwrite all the screwed up stuff and fix the problem.

I think with the EU bug its just trashed. JTAG won't even fix it. There are a few stories of them coming back to life on their own, but no promises.

Hi we offer a work around re-map to have the partitions run on you external sdcard. Pm me if you need any help with this.

Sorry, need help.

Tried fixing that and now i have a firmware upgrade encountered an issue. So I tried using odin and your files here, but it just keeps failing. So i am lost. Don't know what to do next. Maybe it's the driver idk. I have a S5 SM-G900A. Please help. Thanks. OH i just found this random post, because i am in need of some help. Sorry in advance if i sound dumb.

I figured it out. Took me a while. Sadly I'm back to step one.
