Bricked G1?

New to G1 and have a problem. Bought a G1 and it came with elcaires rom I think it was.
So I downloaded UK RC7, renamed it to Update, and placed it on the root of my card.
Held the home and power button, and tried to install but I'm getting installation aborted each time. I've also tried to wipe, but that gets aborted too.
I rebooted and now its stuck on G1 screen
I hope somebody can help, had the phone an hour and I've mucked it up already.
Thanks in advance

Im also "bricked" at the loading screen, i turn it on and it gets frozen at the tmobile screen. Home+power, camera+power, Alt+L etc dont work.
Is this fixable?

No. It's Not.

if its not than what should he and i do?

Are you trying to boot into recovery while its in the G1 screen?

yo my name is sammy as well and i swear i just did the same thing with my g1 on eclair. hit me up dude on [email protected]. we can try and help each other out. plus i love the uk man. i never been, but plan too very soon. i love the music and the accents of the women, oh god. hit me up bro!

If you cannot access recovery or bootloader, you have a rather expensive paperweight. If you can, then you have hope.

It is not so expensive since it be can brought for less than 100>$$
You can fix it by replacing the board with one from a working phone which is not the easiest thing to do.

hey ill take one of those paper weights... I need a new screen...

in the same boat cant get into anything hung up on splash screen

maybe our only option is jtag, ive never bricked before i always put cm 4 then go and install cm5 above that and it worked but this time it told me to go kick rocks and and and it was a customers phone so i gave him mine which is running eclair.

you guys arn't bricked. If you can turn on the phone than your perfectly fine.
You just gotta learn how to use it

G1 hanged at white screen!
Hi all,
I really need a help here. I have a G1 rooted with CM rom ver5. it was working fine since 3 months but suddenly now the phone doesnt boots up, it goes to white screen with 3 droid skaters and highlight on Hboot. It is freezed then and nothing can be done. I removed battery and tried booting by home + power ; camera+power etc etc . nothing happens it goes to that screen only. i have amons recovery and also nand backups in sd card. but the system doesnt let me go any where!! Please help......
attached is the snapshot

Either your back-button hangs, or something messed up your phone completely.
But as long as you have the fastboot mode, it's not bricked. I would suggest you to clean everything, i.e.
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
and then flash recovery again, i.e.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recover.img>
After that you can boot into recovery and restore your latest backup.
Please note: fastboot is a command you execute on your PC and you have to connect your phone with USB to your PC.
If after that procedure your phone boots again into hboot, most likely your back-button is defect.

I myself I think got a bricked G1...
I first installed many custom roms and thought that they were slowing my g1 so I wanted to get my g1 back to normal... For that I googled and was gone to the htc official website and ported the radio and rom from there but unfortunately I read it somewhere and it said that the rom is for only developers phone.
Everything first went very good... no error on clockwork recovery but when I reboot my phone, it got stuck on T-mobile G1 logo screen? I now can not even go to recovery mode or in fastboot mode? I need help...
Someone told me to use odin multi loader? but how do I use it or do it?? I need some instructions?
What should I do now? All I want to do right now is to get rid of my g1 by fixing it and selling it at once!!!

before flashing radio, spl, rom...anything...u need to check out the warnings and compatibility-MUST!!!!
there are 32B and 32A devices...both have different stuffs for themselves....which can be bricked if u dont follow the guidelines and try to act in sort of a haste to accomplish something new!!!
for those who can get to the camera+power (hboot) screen, but cant do anything else...u need to format ur sdcard...FAT32...then download dreaimg.nbh file...keep it in the root of ur sdcard...
then boot into the hboot menu, and ur phone should read the dreaimg.nbh file and prompt u to take an action(flash it)....do that and it'll get ur phone to the stock rom thingy....
then later u gotta root ur device again(telnet, great)....then install amon ra's recovery...change radio and what not and play again....
u gotta be patient...that's the only thing!!!
check this too

phone semi bricked

ok the phone is not bricked an i know there is only one way to brick a hero blah blah blah. but i have psfmod recovery flashed to my phone and i was trying to do the firats mtd partition thing. so i did everything it said and when it came time to do adb shell,reboot recovery it wouldnt work. so after about 5 minutes i realized that the computer wasnt recognizing my phone. i guess cause of the psfmod recovery. and i had already wiped everything. so i wiped everything again and flash zenaraia rom back on. but after rebooting it just stays at the white HTC screen. waited for an hour. i tried wiping and reflashing like 20 times. and i cant mount the sdcard to put another rom on there since the computer wont recognize my phone. anybody following me? lol any suggestions?

It seems like you might need to RUU... have you tried doing that?

Haha I came here just to possibly rip on the OP when I read the title but saw you already mentioned it :/ So you put it in your thread title anyway?
As the guy said before, try running the RUU - should be able to be done in the bootloader.
OR if you can boot up into a rom (wasn't too sure judging by what I read) just get a Dropbox, throw a rom.zip on it, get the app for the phone, sync and bam. New rom.zip on your phone to try.
If neither one can be done, you need to find another phone, camera, sdmount...something so you can add files to it. Even if its just a HERCIMG.zip to update via the bootloader (look up s-off if you don't know what that's about)
Good luck

thanks for your help guys. i'll try the RUU but i dont think it will work since my computer wont recognize my phone while in bootloader. im pretty sure it's just the psfmod recovery that f'd everything up. and yeah i cant boot into a rom. im hoping that somehow my rom.zip just got messed up somehow.

ok yeah RUU didnt work. my only other option is to find a laptop or something

Try getting a live Fedora or Ubuntu linux cd (or any flavor for that matter) and booting it up.

what would that do? i went back to the psfreedom thread and i saw that adb and usb mass storage does not work with that recovery. i should have read better lol

Same thing happenned to my evo..i kept tryna flash the wrong kernel wit nym rom..all i did wuss flashed the rom without da kernel and walla...it started workin again..thnx god..idk if dis would help but it worked for me..
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

ok i got it to work. i was talking to nfinitfx45 on google talk and he said to boot up in fastboot and then plug the phone into the computer and then i can run the RUU and it worked like a charm now i just gotta re root :/

yay !!! im just quoting this because this bears repeating...
1 - if recovery is not working, go into fastboot to get pc to recognize phone...
2 - if roms (recovery or whatnot) are not working, reflash to RUU to start fresh...
(and adding)
3 - once youve started fresh, then flash a working-recovery and go back to your latest [nandroid] backup...
(you always have a good backup to use, right ?) h.

I think all you had to do was flash a different recovery from terminal if you were able to boot up the reason y I didn't use that mod was the fact you can't use adb wen u flash that recovery in that post I think the op posted the link to the old recovery that allowed you to use adb good luck
Root-Hack-Mod-Always™

that was the problem. i couldnt boot to a rom cause i had erased all data and my rom.zip had got corrupted somehow. and with that recovery you couldnt do adb or usb mass storage. so i started freaking out lol. thanks again nfinite

So I'm having a similar problem. I can use ADB to reboot my phone, so I know the computer is talking to the phone but it wont get past the HTC screen. I was trying the firerat mod and made it to the reboot as well but it never came back up. If I reboot to recovery its a white screen with the android on the skate board but the only option is to clear user data and then reboot again which goes back to the HTC screen. I tried the RUU but it wont install because it says my phone doesnt have enough battery (it's been charging on and off for the better part of 24 hours now.) Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated.

first, can you use usb mass storage? if so the you need to put a rom on your sdcard and flash it and see if that fixed it. and if you want to RUU. then pull the battery and put it back. then hold volume up and power at the same time. then hit the button it says to to go into fastboot. you should already be in fastboot though. and then while in fastboot plug the phone into the pc and you may have to install drivers. and then you can run the RUU.

I'm not exactly sure what happened but i got it working. I ran "adb reboot-bootloader" from the menu that brought up i was able to get back to the clockwork recovery, restore my nandroid and finish the mod. all appears to have worked beautifully except that last night my battery went completely dead over night (for the first time) although i'm doubting that that has anything to do with any of this

[Q] HTC Hero will not boot

Hello,
my HTC hero will not boot past the first HTS screen. i am able to get into hboot fastbootusb but with no adp support. s-on and have flashed oem rom with no luck. before this happened i changed a few settings in qpst in an effort to flash it to another network.
PLZ help
also this might be nothing but i noticed when in hboot it looks for herCimg.im not herOimg.img same with the other thing it scans for.

Go to the H-Boot screen and it should show that if you push the "home" button to get into recovery. Go into recovery and format system, data, cache, and boot. Then, reflash a new rom or restore a nandroid. I don't know what you were doing to get into the situation that you are/were in.
The H-Boot searches for a HERCIMG.zip (Herc is for Hero CDMA), if you are S-on, I am not sure if you can even RUU or not (there is a thread about fastboot though). You might be able to though, but you are ok as long as you can get into recovery. If you can, follow those steps above (those are for using clockwork recovery) and you should be ok if you were only messing around with folders in the system. In fact, you might not need to wipe anything but just flash a new rom. Why not start fresh though?
Good luck! I would suggest getting S-off, it has saved me time and headaches.

thank you but...

Thank you but that is the problem i am having. i can and have flashed the ruu both threw the sd card and threw fastboot usb.
i can not get into recovery, when in hboot i hit the home button and the phone resets and stays on the first htc screen.
can you install "clockwork recovery" without the phone fully booting ?
or is there a way to get s-off without fully booting the phone

yes the ruu loaded , i wasn't using a recovery when this happened i simply reset my phone after i loaded a new service programming file on it. I have no idea what you mean by "It should show you all of the images loading on your phone." .
ok just to clarify to all people trying to help , flashing a new ruu dose not work, but i thank you all for the help and hope i can get this fixed.
So keep the advice coming

I am having the exact same issue (I think). Randomly in the middle of the night my phone rebooted. Now it only gets to the HTC boot screen and then reboots again.
I tried booting into recovery, but it just goes back to the HTC screen.
I did not recently flash any new ROMs and have been using the same version of CM7 for awhile now. I was using Clockwork recovery. Nothing I do can get past the HTC screen. I tried all the options suggested. I even placed a new recovery image on the sdcard hoping that would work.
Any more ideas?

Stuck in bootloop, can't enter Bootloader after unlock

Hi XDA,
I currently have an issue with my One, I'm stuck at the white HTC-screen where it says "powered by android" at the bottom, I can't get into the bootloader, no matter what I try (I've tried every combination there is, multiple times) the PC detects an Android ADB Interface, but it says "unauthorized".
This happened after I unlocked my bootloader regularly via the HTC Dev-method.
If I type "adb reboot bootloader" into a command prompt, it says "error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device." but there is nothing on my screen other than the splash-logo.
Is there anything I could do?
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
edit:
I just noticed that the softkeys don't flash when I hold down the power-button, not sure if this helps you determine the error.

No ideas? :/

This is a long shot, try Ubuntu/Linux. You can boot into it without installing Linux on your computer and it handles ADB & Fastboot more smoothly. Read and follow FAQ Q5, you must install Ubuntu 12.04 for these procedures to work. If you install the newest version, there are several more steps. Just scroll down the first page and near the bottom there is a link to older versions. If you get fastboot working, then I would try a fastboot erase cache first with fastboot reboot to see if the problem is resolved. If that didn't work then try to get back to bootloader and select factory reset.

The other problem is that your phone is not recognized by Windows. If Ubuntu recognizes your phone, then you may be able to use the adb reboot bootloader command. It is a shot in the dark but if it works then great, if not you are in the same place you are now.
If you are S-OFF then try to find a RUU to run, if you are S-ON then you can not run a RUU with an unlocked bootloader.

Has it been stuck at that white screen all this time? You may need to wait until the battery dies and see if it will reboot properly from there.

I left it there for about an hour, no change.
There also isn't anything to boot into, I wiped /system/ and /data/ before unlocking the bootloader.
I was trying to get S-Off and it didn't work with CyanogenMod, so I locked the bootloader and tried to install an RUU and of course, that doesn't work if you don't have S-Off, so I wanted to unlock it again and install a sense based ROM after that, but that's where I got stuck in this bootloop.
In retrospect, it probably was really stupid to wipe those partitions before. Not sure what I was thinking at the time :/
I'll try Ubuntu tomorrow and I'll try it with a brighter light, maybe that works. Otherwise I just have to send it in. Worst that could happen is that they somehow get into the bootloader and discover that it says Tampered, but at that point they can just send it back and with a working bootloader I can fix it myself.

hold the power plus volume down for about 20 seconds when the phone shuts off and comes back on continue holding the buttons till it goes off for a second time. Then let go of power and continue to hold volume down. This has got me into the bootloader many time's. Do this in a well lit room or under a lamp.

If it's stuck on the white screen, yeah that should run it down pretty quickly.
But I'm thinking now this might be a bit risky. It will stay on until the battery dies completely instead of shutting down properly. Normally, the system will shut down with a little bit of charge left because if the battery goes completely dead, it may not be able to restart.
I'd try your other ideas first, and if you're ready to return it, give this a shot.

well running the battery dead will not be any different than the shutdown you just did. did you continue to hold volume down and hit the power again after the shut down ? is the usb plugged in this hole time or no?

Yep, I held the button all the time, tried waiting longer and everything, I have already played around with combinations a fair bit before posting this, nothing seemed to work.
Why can't HTC have something like USB Jigs? :/ It's so convenient to just plug this thing in and be in download-mode, regardless how f*cked up your software is.

Update:
The place where I sent it to just messaged me this:

I'm curious, how did they manage to get the bootloader working again? Is there another method for getting into the bootloader, other than pressing the buttons?
They want 218€ for fixing it (lol) so I obviously told them to send it back without fixing it, after all I can do that myself if the bootloader works.
Edit:
just got it back, Bootloader works now.

Help, I can't get back to stock!!!

Hello my fellow friends in HTC Desire 626s Metro PCs land.
This is Isaiah speaking. I've run into a little misfortune here and I wanted to know if someone would be kind enough to help me out.
I have seemed to get myself in a little snag, were for some reason after I relock my phone, it won't reboot the system. What happens is, it boots right into download mode. So I unlocked it again and guess what. Everything booted normally.
Then I go to unlock it again, it jumps right back to download mode. I'm going bonkers over here, like Willy Wonka bonkers because i can't figure out why I can't relock my phone without it going right back to download mode. I flashed stock recovery through cmd, before I relocked it, that didn't work. All I did was root my phone. No debloated roms or anything. Just simply rooted my phone. I'm on Android 6.0.1. Somebody will you please help me get back to stock. Sigh, momma told there'd be days like this! Lol!!! I had to throw in a little humor.

I had the exact same problem. I found a possible fix. If you are just trying to get back to the recovery area.
Press and hold the power and volume down keys then release the power.
Once on the download mode screen scroll to Reboot to bootloader
Once in the bootloader area select Reboot to recovery mode.
This is the only way I can get to recovery mode.

What i'm trying to do is actually get back to the stock recovery so that I can re-flash the official ruu file from the official HTC Roms Website because my phone has not been running smoothly on the ota update they sent out in July. I figured since the the sites ruu file is 1.32gb and the actual ota update was 845mb, may-be there's something in the ruu that will fix this issue.
I already tried unrooting it by flashing stock recovery through command prompt then going back and re-locking my device. But after I re-locked my phone, instead of it rebooting normally where it goes to the boot animation, then loads the welcome screen to allow you to go through putting your wifi info and email address etc. It returns to download mode, or boot loader mode. Then every time I restart my phone it does the same thing and it goes back to the same screen. But when I re-unlock it, it boots fine.

Just don't lock the boot loader, I didn't lock my boot loader to run the RUU. My phone was running the firmware that if came with and I had unlocked the boot loader, flashed TWRP, and rooted. All I did was flash the stock recovery then ran the RUU(it didn't work turned off so I booted into fastboot) and it updated.

Problem solved

Thank you so much for your advice. It worked like a charm. Consider this case closed. I downloaded the official ruu file for my particular carrier and left the boot loader unlocked, but installed the stock recovery through command prompt. Then, I connected my device to my pc via usb as instructed through the ruu. Then, zing.....watched it zap my phone with the stock rom of 6.0.1. Solved my lagging issues as well as my network switching issues as well. For some strange reason, my device kept switching between different carriers which caused me not to be able to sent text messages. I was like "What in the Doc Brown Marty McFly is going on here!!!" Had me like Doc Brown "Great Scott!!!!" LOL!! Thanks buddy for your advice though. Problem Solved.:good::highfive::victory::victory:

I will upload it so that you can dowload it. Make sure when you go in to command prompt that you type exactly what it says "Stock_Recovery.img" without the parenthesis of course. Thats what i had to do. it will look like this when you type it in "fastboot flash recovery Stock_Recovery.img"

PS. Also, when I used the Rom update utility it failed once. But if you look carefully at the picture instructions on the screen, it tells you to unplug your usb cable and pull out the battery. But of course we both know we can't take out the battery. So what you do is, just unplug the usb, but don't restart your phone. Leave it on the screen where it stopped on. When you get to the screen where it tells you to plug your usb back in, then you plug it back in. After that, you just follow the instructions on the screen of the ruu, and it will begin flashing your device with the stock rom. That was the step I kept missing. To unplug the usb and then plug it back in when the ruu says to.
