oh sorry, i was going to say for a quick fix if you were trying to flash cyanogen's 4.1.11.1 rom then i have uploaded a nandroid of a clean version that is passed the tap the android but not set up for anything else, sorry i don't know if you can get past the finger the green guy part without actually pressing it.

so can i flash it to cyanogen's 4.1.11.1 rom? because i can update.zip but i dont know how everything works, or is the phone a no go?

Something similar to this happened to me, and a hard reset wouldn't work. I had to send it back to AT&T. Sorry man, hope you have better luck than I did.

have you tried a hard reset, press down 2 softkeys and stick in reset button and release before letting go of the 2 soft keys. then follow on screen instructions ?
more info needed though ie can you access the bootloader, have you previously put a hard spl on your phone and if so which version.
god reading here on how to get phone back up and working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423486 and here too
i have the version from att
Ok now I got it to stop restarting but now its stuck

From your response I'd say your best option if a hard reset does not work would be to see if you can access the bootloader screen ( press camera button and soft reset ) it looks like three colours on your phone. If you can then download an original rom for your phone and follow the instructions to place it on your phone.
Anyone have any better idea's
back in an hour let me know how you got on
That's the only conceivable idea probably. After you go into bootloader mode, flash the stock ROM and then if you have hardspl, install the custom ROM that you prefer.
Well i guess i can kiss all my #'s goodbye...you know what.....I think I want a custom rom...anyknow know where i can go to get a good one

Dont go custom yet mate, try a stock rom and get it up and running first. Then take your time to read about soft / hard spl's and radios etc before diving in with a full custom rom. Believe me its worth it to understand everything first
AND READ THIS FIRST http://sakajati.com/forum/index.php/topic,3.0/prev_next,next.html#new

T-Mobile G1 almost DEAD or what to do ?

I was updating my G1 to Kingxkxlick ROM & it was just stuck at screen of X, I tried to re-update it via RECOVERY, & I don't know but it restarted when I click to HOME for update.
When it restarts, it showed G1 & X logo, stuck there for a while, but THEN I TOOK OUT THE BATTERY
& It's no more working, not charging, not turning on, BATTERY WAS 100% charged
Please help me out, I don't wanna lose my g1, i'm not even in US right now
If you get to the boot screen and you've past the G1 logo, your phone is fine. Its the ROM you're trying to flash.
Make sure before flashing any rom that you do a factory data wipe, dev wipe, and make sure you have 3 partitions, swap, ext2-3-4,and fat
once you have done this, make sure youre using kingklicks 6.1 first, then upgrade to the 7
Kings 7 rom is only minor changes to add to the base 6.1, if you're trying to flash the newest update alone, if you notice its only 6MB which is definatly NOT the correct size a ROM should be.
So download the older version 6+ then flash, then without rebooting, flash update version 7 over it, and then reboot.
Hope that helps!
To be more clear than the guy above me...
Assuming your talking about this King rom.

If its not turning on, then I'm pretty sure it's dead. Needs a new board all together, I had the same thing happen to me, pretty much the same exact way. It was taking way too long to boot (20+ mins) so I took out the battery and now won't turn on at all. If you find a way to fix it let me know so I can revive mine.

I contacted some local repairers, they just told that it need to get it's boot reset by putting some wires & stuff on board to make it work again.
It's costing me too much so I haven't done it by yet (almost 5,000 PKR)
If anyone here know the thing I told, do let me know, I can do it by myself (can take risk), but can't spend that much money lol

They trying to rip you off.. Nobody has got JTAG working on the g1 yet, they can't do anything by "putting some wires and stuff on board". If it won't charge and won't turn on, there's nothing you can do except replace the board.

what's the lowest price I have to pay for motherboard of G1, because it's not available in local market by now ?
You won't find the mainboard for sale anywhere, so your best bet is to search ebay for a g1 with a broken screen.. then you can swap in the board from that and keep the rest of the parts as spares:
http://cgi.ebay.com/T-Mobile-G1-Bro...Cell_Phones?hash=item2eabb4e988#ht_500wt_1182
edit: before you go swapping the board.. have you tried a different battery? it could be as simple as that.

bricked G1 - need some help.

i . ll just start from the beginning. i installed a jesus freke ROM on my G1, i dont remember what version. i think it was 1.41 or something like that. (RC29 or RC33, idr). i downloaded an app or maybe it was an app that came with the ROM that let me know of jesus freke's updates. i hadnt checked it awhile as the G1 is not my primary device. when i checked for it last week, it showed an update and i attempted to install it. i completely forgot the procedure for updating a new image and im prretty i bricked it because it wont go past the android screen, even after waiting about 10-15 minutes, it still wont go past it. so my question is, can somebody please help me unbrick my G1? im in no hurry as im not using it on a daily basis, but id like to get this resolved as soon as possible so i can sell my G1. anyways, id appreciate it if someone could help. if so, can you give some detailed instructions as im not TOO familiar with android. i know a little about it, but too much.
thanks guys,
josh.
if you can access recovery mode, just go and reinstall other rom, i recommend cyanogenmod - user friendly and it got a complete guide on there website to install.
youll have to expand on that a little more, like i said, im not that familiar with android.. i dont have an SD card in there, and i suppose that might pose a problem trying to flash another ROM to it.. can you give me some links and some specific directions when you have a chance..? i'd greatly appreciate it.

This right here is why I say don't root if you don't know wtf you're doing. This always happens to people who should have just stayed away. Look:
Power phone completely off. Hold home key and power on. If you get to the recovery screen (the screen with a bunch of options, probably all written in green for you) then you're not bricked. All you need to do is put latest cyanogenmod on your sdcard, wipe your phone, and install it.

need confirmation of bricked g1 or not

ok so i got my hands on my sisters old G1 and it was unrooted and with rc30.
so i was able to downgrade it to rc29, flash it with RA recovery 1.7.0, and i was applying the the spl next. i booted into recovery and flashed the spl, and when i rebooted the g1 i just got suck at the tmobile g1 screen, i left it there for like 10 minutes thinking its gonna do its thing but it was still stuck there.
i pulled the battery out and pressed home and the power button, and it still didnt wanna go into recovery. so i pulled the battery again. so pressed and held the camera button and power button and it booted into the g1 screen instead!
so at this point i think i bricked it since im just stuck at the g1 screen and cant do nothing from there and i wanted a 2nd opinion to confirm it, or for a possible solution.
im thinking i messed up with the spl, but the one i have DL is the same one i used with my old G1 and its still kicking some (this one has a problem with the flex ribbon cable i believe, but completely usable.)
Im pretty sure when a phone is bricked, you cant even boot your phone, so im pretty sure ur phone is not bricked.
sorry, idk how to fix this, but im sure someone does.
You have to flash a rom, of coursebit would get stuck at g1 screen bcuz it had no direction(no rom)
Sent from my HTC HD2
the situation is you can get into hboot but not recovery nor system,right?
you could flash radio/spl via fastboot ,then flash recovery, rom at last.

no i cant access recovery, or hboot.
when i hooked it up to the computer hoping that it might recognize it, nothing happened either when i tried to boot into hboot, or recovery.
so ive been doin some more digging into the internet and yep i did end up bricking it.
looks like im gonna perform some phone operation between the two g1s to have a fully working one.
so pressed and held the camera button and power button and it booted into the g1 screen instead!
you said this last day,it doesn't work now?

no it doesnt.
i have no access to hboot, or recovery. and it doesnt get recognized by my computer if i try to have it hooked up with the usb, so i cant even use adb or nothing.
so like i said, i could pretty much confirm myself that i bricked it. so right now im like phoneless because my original g1 has an issue with it not showing nothing if the keyboard is CLOSED (yes closed, not open! lol) and it ended up closing on me when i tossed it in my bed (doh!)

haha its alright, only option right now is phone operation with the two g1s i have, but i need to buy a torx screwdriver for it since the one i got is the wrong size.
but its not such a bad thing because ive been hearing that i might end up getting a new HTC phone as a graduation present. so heres to hoping thats true! lol
I guess it is bricked,maybe it can be fixed by a serviceman
Well seeing it's screwed lol try out JTAG used it before to unbrick a phone once ^^ that should be a solution for you

Handsfree activation bootloop

Got a little problem with with my Sprint HTC ONE M8. Ever since I updated to the latest firmware (3.30.651.2) and flashed badboz rom or any rom, my phone constantly goes threw handsfree activation and prl update. It says it activated and updated the prl but then reboots and goes threw the same process again. So I'm in a handsfree activation boot loop. One thing I did do was to unlock my sim some time ago. I also should mention I tried RUUing back to stock and that had the same handsfree activation boot loop. Also I noticed where your carrier name is usually displayed like in the lock screen, mine says HTC instead of Sprint. I wound up freezing vDM apk with titanium, so I don't get the HFA. But thats just a dirty fix. Would love to figure out the actual problem. I'm a bit stumped at this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
