Need help !!!!

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 )

G1 possibly bricked; stuck in recovery console [researched]

i will try to be as detailed as possible. im coming from the kaiser community so go easy on me
when i had recieved the phone it would turn on go past the tmobile g1 screen and go into the recovery console. the console read. JF 1.41.
after reading around the best option i got was reverting everything back to factory settings.....and so i did. i installed the factory spl went back to rc29....then updated to rc 30 and installed the new cupcake.
everything was fine except for i couldnt get the phone activated given im an AT&T user.
this morning i finally recieved the unlock code from tmobile and when i turn the phone on with the att simcard, it gave me the triangle with the exclamation screen.
so i hit alt +l then alt w and after a reboot it would bring me back to the same screen. Also this recovery screen is diff from the jf 1.41 (im guessing this is the factory console).
now im out of ideas as to how to get this phone back in order. i would love flashing the DREAIMG.NBH but sadly my phone refuses to go in bootloader.
ive been trying to hold camera+ power and its jsut loads up the tmobile g1 screen.
any and all advice/helps are appreciated.
-thank you

so this is totally weird. i leave the phone unplugged with the battery out for about 3 hours. came back to work on it....turned it on and well it loaded and got me to the home screen ( no sim card ).
so i powered off the phone and inserted the AT&T simcard turn it on and it shows me the same screen again with the triangle and exclamation point.
how do u explain that ?!
pressed power for 3 seconds and then let go and held down the back key. it flashed the bootloader tricolor screen and then said ""everything will be reset to factory defaults .press send to reset"" and when i did that there was no change........nothing happened. ended up pulling the battery out..

Same problem..
I have very similar problem.. but mine takes much more than 3 hrs to come back.. and even then , the task manger keeps popping up from time to time in the home screen ,, so i guessed my home button was stuck or something...
After i found your "problem Sovled" post in another theread on 11th oct ..i thought i better take your suggestion before taking phone apart..
I was on 1.5 version and 2.22.19.26I radio. also i do not know whether i'm in RC29,30,33 ..
i'm really confused about all this radio,firmware ,recovery things....
Please Guide me ..

well first you need to get in your ph to find out if u have rc29. if you are able to get to home screen just hit menu - setting - about phone - all the way down it'll tell you what you are running.
i followed this guide to help me flash it to the cyanogenmod rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563679
hopefully it helps. but if you are able to get into bootloader unlike me then jsut flash the rc29 hopefully it will solve your problem.
my home key acted like it was stuck but now everything is working fine.

Thanks for Replying so quickly ..
I managed to go to the bootloader screen(tricolor) ..actually it went without even pressing the camera button(any idea why??) after leaving the phone without battery for about 5 hours.. and i flashed the Dreaimg-RC29 file .
Since then i'm Stuck in recovery mode again.. but this time the recovery utility is different (yellow letters)..i.e hopefully RC29 is succefully installed.
I wanted to complete doing your suggested guide before asking any more questions, but now i unable to so what shud i do now?
IS the task manger popping up involuntarily sometimes for you in the cM builds?
Can it be that you had a hardware button issue, which somehow rectified itself when going to Cyanogen..
I really appreciate your taking time to answer my questions ..

well sounds like jsut what had happened to me.
make sure you have tmobile simcard on you with a dataplan.
you're going to have to leave your phone off without the battery or just turned off for a while. from here on out it was trial and error. i kept trying to turn the phone on hoping it would go past the recovery screen once it did i activated the phone and finally completed the root process.
as for the cyanogen mod rom i think you are right. though on my initial flash i had a bunch of force closing apps but it all fixed itself upon a restart. ever since then i haven't seen the recovery mode every time i boot it.
PS: that reocvery mode that you see is the stock recovery meaning yes u have flashed RC29 sucessfully.

so i jsut flashed to CM 4.2.3.1. and well im back to square one. im booting into the recovery by default. obviously confirming my doubts about the hardware problem.
im going to try and leave the phone off for a while and see if i can get it to load up. usually that solves my problem.

Oh..
Thats depressing.. Anyways... Lets do it together then I have kept my phone unsed for about 16hrs now.. hope it works ..
Have you tried the HTC Diagonistic program for g1 (DREADIAG.nbh) ?.. I am yet to try it out as i cannot go to the bootloader..
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7NRX7H40
which version of cyanogen were you using before this happened?

i have not tried diagnostic. iw as going to use ADB to push the recovery on there but it went into bootloader.
i was using cyanogenmod rom 4.1.9999. now i have updated to 4.2.3.1.
actually iw as working on it last night. i re did that whole guide except for downloaded the new rom and flashed it.
so as of now once again that hardware flaw is gone and the phone is working fine.

Did you update from 4.1.9999 straight into 4.2.3.1? If so, that's the problem (maybe).. I suggest you install the HTC 1.6 ADP Rom (link in the cyanogen 4.2.3.1 post) then upgrade to 4.2.3.1. Make sure everything is updated.... rom, recovery & spl (before you upgrade SPL make sure you have the most recent radio version first! or you'll brick the phone). then give it a try and see what happens...

you are right. the first time i just flashed the new rom. the second time around i followed the guide except for i flashed the latest cyanogen rom.

I'm not able to make it go to the home screen even after so many attempts..
i could only manage to go to the bootloader screen once and flashed the RC29 and i'm stuck there
Can you elaborate on how you got to the Home screen , like how long you keep it off or press which buttons to start ?
I'm not in the US , and have bought this phone from Ebay (new, never used) from a seller with good feedback for G1 (wanted this phone very badly). I was using the phone for barely 3 days when i did a factory reset from the phone and this problem started occurring .
IS there anything else i can do..?
Thanks for Helping..

Still waiting for your answer

how did you flash the RC29? after pressing the power button
did it give you any errors? once its flashed, reboot by pressing home and back (or w/e the SPL tells you to)
it should boot into the rom

Home button problem (repaired/solved)
Firstly, thanks for responding ..
I had flashed RC29 when it had gone to the tricolor bootloader screen on its own
but after that it would not go anywhere other than recovery(exclamantion mark)
Now good news
4 hours back i opened the phone again(third time) , and took a safety pin and started scraping(gently) the non shiny parts of the connector ( daughter board to main board) .
I think it was previously shorted near that area , so by scraping removed the shorted metal joints .. and now the phone booted up to RC29 (just like that) and i even installed the cyanogen mod ..
Many thanks to u all .. hope this Comes UP in google search for people with similar problems(and there are many)...
KEYwords: Home button stuck on recovery no booting

Ah wow didnt think of that lol.. glad to see you got it to work

UK G1 bricked after installing Shop savvy - help please

Hi guys,
UK G1 (Dream) phone recently updated to the 1.6 build, all working fine.
Yesterday I tried installing the free app Shop Savvy. the phone resetted itself after install and sat on the G1 boot screen permanently.
Now phone will pass this boot screen (Tmobile G1)
Tried:
Recovery mode - will not work at all
Quick boot - brings up the multicolour screen but does nothing after.
**PHONE IS NOT ROOTED**
looks like I have had the phone JUST over a year, not looking good...
Any ideas?

You can boot in to the SPL/bootloader so thankfully you haven't bricked
If you're on a contract with tmo you could take it back to the store and they should give you a replacement, but where's the fun in that?
If you want to fix the problem yourself, all you need to do is downgrade to firmware 1.1, then accept the OTA update to 1.6.
Here's the procedure:
1)Put the phones SD card in to a card reader and format as fat32
2) Extract this file and copy it to your SD card as 'DREAIMG.nbh'
3) Put the card back in the phone and hold down power and camera to boot in to the bootloader.
4) Flash it. (Action button is the trackball).
It's a good idea to leave the charger plugged in and have a decent amount of charge in the battery (eg 40%+).
Afterwards the phone will restart and you will need to re-enter your google account info. All your apps and data will be gone, but there's not much we can do about. You can set things up and install apps while you wait for the prompt to update.

Thanks alot AdrianK,
Really appreciate the steps and info, nice one
I have done some flashing on other phones etc so I have no problem with this. However, I am wondering how a normal app such as Shop Savvy could corrupt my ROM and am wondering if it might not be better to get a new phone as this one could have hardware fault?
What do you think?
Silver.

OK,
did exactly as you said Adrian. Phone went through all the flashing routine then, right at the end said press action button to continue (trackball) every time I press the trackball phone returns to the bootloader screen
What now?

I think you can take the battery out restart the phone

Thanks but unfortunately I have already tried that.
Phone just sits on the G1 boot screen as before...
Any other Ideas?
is that ROM you linked for me a UK ROM Adrian?

Once you get to RC7 use these to build back upto 1.6

Yeah that's the RC7 ROM, the UK ROM for 1.1. RC29 is 1.1 for US phones.
This is all very odd, especially that it was an app that caused it, or as you suggested possible hardward failure. Oh well, I guess all you can do now is take it back to tmo.

After manual update: stuck on G1 screen after update file – help!

Hi guys
So after unsuccessfully trying to root my G1, I changed my mind on the mastter and decided to keep it stock OS. I managed to get back to Android 1.0.
I’ve put a formatted and FAT32 SD card in the phone, with RC8 (UK phone) on it named update.zip (file ext hidden in windows).
I boot up the phone holding home key, ALT L then ALT S. It boots successfully saying things like ‘package verified’ etc until it says ‘install complete’. Then it says ‘press home+back to reboot your phone. When I do that it says ‘writing radio image’ then reboots. When it turns back on it has a picture of a sim card and an arrow or a phone and a box then reboots again. And here lies the problem: it never leaves the G1 screen (the first screen displayed when powering on the device. I’m able to power into recovery mode and fastboot mode, and from fastboot mode I can recover the phone by flashing to 1.0 via DREAIMG.NBH, but I really want to be running 1.6.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks

What phone are you using...a UK G1 or a US G1, as your trying to flash a UK rom...(rc8) have you tried flashing RC29? After flashing to android 1.0 it will prompt you to update your phone to 1.6 after that.

That's because you didn't flash your SPL yet.. I'll edit this post with the link to it. Oh and before I do, which rom are you trying to flash?

That sounds promising I'm trying to flash UK 1.5 RC8. So I have to install this SPL first and then install the software? I'm correct in jumping straight from 1.0 to 1.5 right?

Do I need to flash this SPL? The bottom one on this page http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/downloads/list?q=label:SPL
it's called G1originalBootloadernocheck.zip or something similar

I wouldn't trust that, but I don't know just hold on. Wait a minute, so you flashed the RC8 rom? Are you sure, how long did you wait at the T-mobile G1 screen for? Try flashing RC8 again and let the phone do it's thing. Wait a max of 10 minutes for the phone to load.

I'm hoping that you're rooted at 1.0.. And nono, you flash radio first, then SPL THEN the rom.

... sounds like he wants to flash.
-EDIT-
Why would he want to go back to stock if he flashed 1.0? Isn't that the first thing you do when you root?

After you flash DREAIMG.nbh, give the phone a few days and it will update over the air.

Oh my bad. My lack of attention span prevented me from reading that but to go back to the stock, do what cloverdale said. Reflash your G1 with the RC8 and WAIT for the update. There's no need to do it manually.

Thanks guys! Yes the root looked like it was about to brick my phone so I abandoned it and was feeling overwhelming relieved to even get normal OS back on my phone. So I should just wait for the over the air update (in the UK) and it will automatically bring it up to 1.6 again? Sorry for the late reply, my internet has only just started working, and itll be off again soon!
Why not do it manually btw guys?

Yeah you can just do what cloverdale said, or you can go to the settings(pick it by pressing menu on the phone) and scoll all the way to the bottom to "about phone" I believe there will be an "upgrade" option but I'm not quite sure . You can do it manually by dling the upgrade off the internet somewhere but it's probably better(on the safe side) to just download it from your phone.

Yes, just give it some time and it will update to 1.6 (or maybe 2.0/2.1). I would suggest waiting of the OTA update and not doing it manually simply because I what I read about your reactions to rooting. I am not trying to be mean when I say this, but the stress it seemed to cause from starting the rooting process may be recreated through a manual flash. Take life easy, relax, and it will update very soon.

OK, no offence taken. I didnt know 2.0 was out for the G1 yet..
I think my rooting went wrong because I didnt flash a radio image or SPL prior to the software - I tried to complete it with limited net access and therefore information, and a non working phone and non working internet is too much of a hinderance as i need these things every day.
I mainly wanted to root it to make the higher end 3d games run smoother via overclocking and use it as a wifi point so i could access the net properly again whilst BT stop ****ing around.

help rooting G1 in stuck

tried to root my g1 today and came stuck, i downgrade android from 1.6 to 1.0, and the next step was to download telnet from the market, but i couldnt get the market to download.

varifying update package.....
E:No signiture (5 files)
E:Varification failed
Instalation aborted
im at a loss now. any ideas???

What recovery are you using? the alt L thing makes me think you are still using stock.
If you are using RA you don't need to rename it to update.

im using recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img
ihave just tried to use the one u are using but flashrec wouldnt see it, imreally at a loss now.
i just tried to install android stoc 1.0, so that i could start again but that to wouldnt install. so it looks like i may be stuck with 1.5 for now atleast.
edit- it wernt the one u have it was the recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2.img i tried second

mate u have Uk model?right
just intall flashrec and 1.6.2 recovery image
start flashrec / in the box type something like
/sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2.img
then flash it dont interpt then process and u got root ...
note : put img file in the root(main) of ur sd card

thanks for your help jamb, but i seem to have damaed the boot loader somewhere on my rooting journey ,
i think i know where i done it as after post one, and before post two, i did (i think) get root and managed to flash superCSDIv14, (i got the custom spash with the android bot peeking from behind the A) but after the splash the phone just went black.
when i got your first post i decided to follow that post, i managed to flask android 1.0, then update to 1.5 then from that point i couldnt flash nothing, i even tried to flash back to 1.0 at one point.
last night i went to bed thinking that id be stuck with 1.5, but when i woke, i made the QTA upgrade msg on my phone so i ran it and now am back to where i started 1.6 (which is good cos google nav was released yesrerday)
as the OTA update worked all must not be broken so i decided to start again and tried to flash 1.0, it just faid so. my friend i am giving up, thank you for your time.
stephen.

its been two days now since i gave up on my root of the G1 and am starting to get the craving to start tinker with t againg, i dont want it to beat me.
can anyone outthere shed anylight on my plight. also give me some pointers.
