I try to turn it on becuase I was going to get hero on my phone but it JUST WONT BOOT! It just stays at the T -- Mobile G1 Screen. HELP I'm getting SOOO frustrated
Brick? Can you boot into fast boot, camera + end? Did you flash the spl before the radio, if so there is no chance of recovery?
No I didnt do anything with SPL and everything works fine just i Can't go into recovery mode!
If you can't get into recovery or bootloader then you sir have yourself a nice lil brick.

So basically, I just got through doing the SPL update (I was re-rooting my phone) and now it just hangs at the G1 splash screen.
I've tried booting into the Recovery (I've already applied Cyan's 1.4 recovery img) using (Pwr+Home) and the other things (Pwr+Camera) and still, there's nothing.
Now, I don't have a phone.
And I'm starting to /rage...
Is there anyway I can reflash the R29 without being able to access anything on my phone? just so my phone works atm?

Did you flash the radio before the SPL? Because if ya didn't then you bricked your phone... If you can't boot into recovery or get the SPL to come up.. you're toast. double
Long story short, I've received this ADP1 from a friend, this ADP1 will only boot into a SPL mode when you turn it on.
But at the time, it still has the ability to boot into a fastboot mode, so I mount the RA1.5.2 recovery img to see if it will take CY rom, it successful booted into the recovery mode, and flash the new radio, 1.6 rom along with the CY rom no problem, but when reboots, still goes into the SPL mode.
So here comes the stupidest move...
I've accidentally flash the NBH file(RC29), and was hoping to have a fully restore the phone, but it didn't, and made it worst, now, it still goes to the SPL mode when you turn it on, and now, I lost the ability to access the fastboot mode, and recovery mode only shows the icon, nothing else.
I would like anyone's advise, anything I can try?
Appreciate your help!
Hmm that's a very odd situation. Without being able to boot the phone after flashing RC29 you have no way to gain root again. Sorry to say it but I think you have a semi-unrecoverable-brick :-/
I have never encountered this issue... have been flashing roms for years.. on my windows phones and my G1 since it was possible..
The other day I went up update my phone to the latest CM ROM.. my phone finished and then I booted up the phone.. the screen was black.. i waited for a long time and not even the G1 screen showed up..
I booted again.. and same thing.. i booted again for days and tried getting into the recover with no luck..
I read someone had a simliar issue on here and they went into recover (though no screen or text shows up on screen) and proceded to hit alt w to wipe..i did that aswell and the next boot up the G1 screen showed up. I then did a complete wipe from there and began to install the new HTC recover and CM rom from scratch.. then same thing happend.. i kept getting the black screen...
I then tried to install the original SPL and install the original G1 rom and start all over.. i was able to install the original SPL (which I think is part of the issue) and then turned off the phone.. I placed the dreaimg in the sdcard and went to hit CAMERA and POWER.. and nothing shows up..
I can't for how many times i tried am able to get the phone to go into the install screen from holding down CAMERA and POWER..
I am able to restore the phone using the nanback up from the recover but since I installed the SPL it went away.. not sure if they are connected somehow.. so now i don't have those options either..
Can somebody help me with some ideas on how to fix this?
If you can't get into recovery? To me it looks like a brick phone.
As far as been here and read some post about not able getting into recovery or tri color screen not working as well and not getting any response from phone

I am able to get to the Amon Ra recovery.. and do things from there.. the problem is that when I reboot..it sometimes shows up the G1 and sometimes it stays black..
I tried reverting back to the original ROM by putting the dream on there at that point i noticed that when hold camera and power nothing happens..im' still able to reboot and go into Amon Ra recovery though..
Just an update.. i noticed that my phone only boots up properly if I slide out the keyboard before I press the power button to turn on the phone.. same thing applies when getting out of standby mode while the phone is on...
G1 when power on comes only G1 screen, when soft reset and hard reset is the same . when update it says on screen: "E: Cant open / cache/recovery/ command" and aborting upgrade in 50%
Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on with this?
well im assuming the phone has been properly set as far as radio/spl -- i would say you need to reflash your recovery. Erase your current recovery with fastboot and then fastboot the brand new recovery into it and try again. If the phone cant boot into the rom it will try to boot into the recovery and if it cant, it does that. I think. theres a pretty nice G1 wiki here and theres also cyanogenmod wiki... cant go wrong there.
I'm able to flash this to any rom but it just keeps getting stuck at the htc splash screen. I tried all stock tmob roms and DeepShining's rom and always the same, hung at the splash. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx in advance.
What does your screen say when you enter bootloader mode?

Every time I was able to enter boot loader mode and flash to the appropriate bl depending on upon the rom. Even when I ran the dft xspl install and launch exe's and then loaded DeepShining rom it hung on the DS splash screen.
Update:
Turned out to be a hardware problem. Tore the phone apart and it seems the camera button was the problem.
Lol...looks like you figured it out before I could suggest that, it seems to be a problem with the hd7 camera button getting stuck and not allowing the rom flash to complete. Glad you figured it out though!
