phone reboots to bootloader image with 3 skateboards - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have a class 6 adata 8gb 2gb ext4 64mb swap rest fat32
im running cyanogen 4.0.2 or 4.0.4 whichever one i load up from sd at the time, but both are stable. i have newest radio and spl also. the issue is simple. i can get into recovery mode and bootloader menu. everytime i reboot it goes to bootloader menu(3 skateboards). camera button is not held down either or stuck. the only way to get past this screen is to evertime i reboot to factory wipe and install new rom which is a pain. i was wondering if by having the original image DREAIMG file in a folder on my sd is whats causing this. but now that i cant get past this screen i cant remove it from sd. i also already tried mounting sd to comp from console using: "ums_enable" it does nothing(tried it on 3 computers). im tired of reseting and reflashing. pls some assistance.

Have you tried to reflash the SPL? You could just redo the entire root process and replace everything.

New Isuue, Same Problem
Sorry it took so long to get back here. No I haven't tried that. How could it be the SPL? Im asking it in a meaningful way, like why and/or how could it be?
I will reflash the SPL tonight and edit post if it works.
I also erased my sd card and re partioned in in "parted" it booted fine. The battery died today and i rebooted it and BAM! bootloader screen again. So i factory reset and flashed a new ROM image. then it worked fine. now only problem is the private apps i have installed wont work and they get stuck on uninstalling....Whats the fix for that?
Thanks XDA!!

You need to start over and replace everything. It sounds like you have multiple problems. Use THIS guide starting with the downgrade bacause it will reflash EVERYTHING on your phone. If the problem persist then it's hardware issues. Redownload everything, don't use anything you already downloaded because these files might be bad too.

first boot into bootloader(camera and home) and see if you have a white screen with 3 skating androids.
if you do then you have the hard spl.
sometimes when you flash a spl it will wipe your phone.
if you do have the hard spl just go ahead and flash whatever rom you want to use.
if you don't have a card reader go into the recovery console and type ums_enable to mount your sdcard and put the rom on your sdcard then type ums_disable to unmount the sdcard, then finally type reboot recovery and when it boots up flash your rom.
That did it David just uploaded CM 4.0.4 and its up and running. You have been alot of help tonight, kick you a little something for your help...
wait , you push alt-s, are you still using the orignal recovery, do yourself a favor and flash cm recovery 1.4, nandroid backup and restore, flash any zip.

thank you very much
Thanks!!
I was having the same issue... ( I have the pimped recovery as well)
The first couple times I tried, I was getting no changes to the spl...
I tried one more time, wiped to be sure, proceeded to install spl
I then made it to same point, "formatting cache..."
I decided to start the reboot process and quickly pressed
"cam + power" when the screen went black and BAM,
got the 3 skateboarding androids
and it says "HSPL 10.95.3000"
I then reinstalled latest Cyan, and partitioned the sdcard with sdparted.txt

Rebooted and
Thx!!
I am trying to unroot my friend's G1... I found a tutorial on XDA (link) and it worked fine without any problems on my phone, however when I go into recovery mode (CyanogenMod v1.4+JF) and I hit Alt+S, it starts to install the update.zip and it reboots and starts up in recovery and gets stuck on Formatting CACHE:... I've let it sit for quite a while and still nothing. I can reboot the phone, but it just starts back up in the rooted mod. When I start into the bootloader (camera+power), it's not the three android's on skateboard, it's the colored screen, and it doesn't give me the option to install DREAIMG.nbh file. I'm not quite sure what to do, especially since I had absolutely no problem testing this tutorial on my own phone.
EDIT: I figured out that the bootloader is downgraded and working. Now when I load the bootloader, it goes to the grey screen and says Loading... No image found! I have searched the forums and google for a solution to this program and so far nothing I've found is working. I've reformatted my SD card many times to FAT32, as well as redownloaded the DREAIMG.nbh file... Any help would be great!
EDIT 2: I'm not sure what the problem was or what I did to get it to work, but after formatting over and over and downloading and redownloading, and trying different SD cards, it finally started to work.
Ok. I have done everything that was suggested up above. I also get the 3 android skateboarders and I have tried to install the new
[ROM] CyanogenMod - Keeping You Legal For Less (STABLE) [UPDATED 10/31 - v4.2.3.1]
Which installs just fine. But then I reboot the device and it continues to be stuck on the G1 Splash Screen.
I can verify that I updated the Radio first and confrimed it was updated then updated the SPL and got formatting cache and waited like 15 mins and then now I am stuck.
So I what david1171 suggested and still nothing.
Any suggestions would be nice.
Thanks

Dream Stuck in SPL Boot Loop

I posted this in the "Brick" thread but I have not garnered any attention and IRC has moved too fast to get any reliable help.
Hello,
I've done some searching and I cannot find any definitive answers to my problem.
I was on CM 4.2.9.1 and tried to upgrade to 4.2.10.1 and had a bad flash (stuck at android boot). I noticed there was a new update, 4.2.11.1 the next morning and thought I would wipe completely and update from RC29. I downloaded all the files necessary and used spl to downgrade to RC29 which booted fine. From there I got root and started the upgrade part. I installed the RArecovery 1.5.2 which went fine. I then installed the defanged HTC recovery image and CM 4.2.11.1 then the newest radio and rebooted. That went directly back to the RA recovery after installing the radio. From there I installed the Hard SPL. After that finished and rebooted the phone booted to the Hard SPL or the recovery image.
Thinking I had messed something up I though I could start over and try again. I then booted to the SPL bootloader and flashed the RC29 DREAIMG.NBH to start over.
After that completed the phone will only boot to the SPL bootloader, which is now the original SPL. I have tried to flash the DREAIMG.NBH multiple times with the same result. When holding down Home and Power I get the ! screen.
Is my phone bricked? Or is there an image that I can flash to save it?
Thanks for any help.

Does it boot up into RA recovery? from there you can flash any zip... If you got root and the right radio and SPL. Put the latest Cyan on your SD and boot into recovery and flash away... If you can get it to recovery you are not bricked...
Okay... i reread... may be beyond my limited knowledge...
3rd time... I would pop out your SD and put recovery.img fromhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480... and make sure HardSPL is on there... when you boot into recovery and get the "!" hit ALT-L to get the menu... then ALT-S to apply the update.zip(HardSPL)... heck just follow the steps from the link above...
GOOD LUCK
No recovery at all. I'm assuming it was flashed back to RC29 specs.
You're not bricked because you can boot into SPL. You still have a recovery image on there, not that it's a good one, it's just a basic HTC recovery. What you do have is a hardware problem with you camera button most likely. See if you can blow some compressed air in there, try tapping it a little bit, it may fix it.
Good luck
I got stuck in a bad situation like this a bit ago...
If nothing else, you should still be able to get the dreaming.nbh on there, upgrade to donut and then reroot.
It's not a problem with the camera button as I can still get to the SPL and flash the DREAIMG.nbh.
The DREAIMG.nbh flashes fine, everything gets an ok, but when I restart the phone it boots directly to the SPL.
Just a quick update:
I've gotten a hold of a different micro sdcard than the one that I was using in hopes that some weird formatting error was happening with my old card. Alas, even with this new and freshly formatted card the DREAIMG.nbh will still not take correctly. All parts report ok while flashing, but my phone still boots directly to the SPL on startup.
Can anyone help?
Im having the same problem, but I can get into recovery, sd only has an fat partition, I made a thread here, can the Mods delete it

[Q] Help|Endless loop and system failure

The Story:
I bought a new Nexus one.
Got the OTA updates and updated the phone (first 2.1 then 2.2 and 2.2.1)
Since then the phone is not rebooting properly. usוally it just reboot and reboot and reboot.
After I formated the SD card the phone booted succeussfully but crashed again after a minute back to the endless loops.
can someone please help?
I tried to unlock the bootloader, root the device and flash Amon's recovery but although the cmd windows said that it ewent alright besides of the open lock sign nothing seems to change.
Please Please Please Help, It's a brand new phone...
p.s.
if there is any way to just erase everything (already tried earse cache and userdata from the recovery...) and get a "new" phone - please tell me how.
I know how to use adb/fastboot, I'm not a noob...
Thanks a lot!!!
Where is my question...?
I can't find it...
It's right here.
Anyway, I suspect your problem after flashing recovery is you're rebooting, and the OS is reverting to stock. Go straight into it first, take a backup and wipe it.
Failing that you'll need to grab FRG83 image from http://developer.HTC.com and use fastboot to flash over system.img and boot.img
You'll be able to format every partition on your Nexus One by using Clockwork Recovery.
By Amon's recovery you can do similar thing but it doesn't offer ability to format System partition (it's not quite useful to format System partition anyway..)
You mentioned that your phone could boot successfully with a formatted SD card and then ran into problem, my guess is that your SD card has bad block(s), please verify this by take your SD card out and use your phone for few hours, is there any stability issue?
so... an update:
I downloaded the original files and flashed them all in fastboot (recovery.img, userdata, boot and system).
The phone is on the "nexus-one sign" screen for over then half an hour now and nothing seem to change.
a. Is there somthing else that I should do? how long it should take...?
b. what are the odds that it's a hardware problem...?
c. could it be a problem related to incompatible radio?
Thanks...
and other update...
even after reflashing the original files I can't enter recovery (original) so I guess the problem lies within it.
with this information and the other messages - does anyone has an idea...? please...?
did you try another SD card?
try this and let me know if it works
kuldrivedotcom/host/n1/Back2Stock.zip
just unzip the file and follow the instructions.
let me know if it worked
nexus @ kuldrive dot com

Thank you, but the problem solved.
It was a big HARDWARE problem.
HTC knew right away what the problem is.
Sent the phone to HTC, got it back in 3 days, everything work just fine since.
Thanks anyway...

[Q] How do I recover from bad rom load?

I've had my phone for over 2 years, rooted it the second day (I know I was a late bloomer). Never had an issue with a new ROM load failing.
Now Froyo for trout failed on me....it went fine (no errors), but I'm stuck at the G1 screen and I can't think of how to recover from this...
Note: I did try searching but I got no hits.
T-Mobile G1, Amon-Ra 1.7
Thanks.
sorry - Panicked
Amon-Ra recovery menu comes up - tried to wipe data and factory reset, same issue, boots to G1 and just sits there.
Any suggestions?
Guess I spoke too soon..
Well, I tried to do a factory reset on the phone after Froyo trout failed, but it doesn't work.
Is this bricking the phone?
I can boot to AMON-RA, but I have no valid image loaded, it goes to G1 and just sits there. Is this recoverable in any way?
Thanks....

What radio and SPL did you use?
I tried to load 2708 - didn't check the load, no errors, so assumed it work, anxious to get Froyo - however it appears it did not work. I have Radio 2.22.23.02 running according to the rainbow screen....aaargh
Amon-RA does come up - Since I cannot boot, the only thing that occurs to me is to put my SD card into another phone or maybe a computer with a Micro SD ram slot and upload the 2708 radio?
FROM "around the world" Thanks much,
Ok, plug your g1 into your usb, go into bootloader (Home+power), press alt+x, and type in "echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file" without the quotations. Then your computer should be able to access the sdcard, then just simply put the update.zip file on the card and reflash it.
this works perfectly for putting data to SD.
trying to start over
I tried to wipe and load 2708, it errors out and won't install...It probably failed loading earlier and I just didn't notice.
Back to stock, need to find how to reload FLASH_IMAGE it is not obvious how to add it to the BIN file...+Amon-Ra...
I can't find another source for 2708 radio, anyone else?

[Q] almost everything force close

Hi i have a bell galaxy s i just flash ugkc1 firmware but when the phone boots i get force close message for almost every app.
i think the internal sd might be corrupted tried to format it but all files are still there
any idea ??
thank you
your SD card usually nothing to do with application force close, those files which you see after formatting on SD card should be there so do not worry about them.
if you want to find the reason explain about your previous rom and kernel. did you do a factory reset or wipe before and after rom installation?
Here is two simalar topics. I also have that problem and cannot solve it yet.

When i looked in internet i found sth similar for HTC, but devs corrected it. They parted some files from working devices and pushed it to system with adb.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage/
Maybe sth like that will also solve our problem but we need help.
If you find any sollution please infrom us. Maybe it will be useful for us too.

thanks for your replies

I doubt it is an SD problem. Go to recovery, clear cache and dalvik and fix permissions. If the problem persists to a factory reset and reinstall your apps from the market.
