Help Me. - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Nothing found using search.
I cant get into [Home+Power] stays at G1 screen. Other then that it does power up and go into phone. and [Power+Camera] works. Any help how to fix this ?

you probably need to reflash your recovery image. the thing that sucks is that the recovery image links are down so if you don't have a copy of it, well you can imagine....

Can you give me a link to one ? And tell me how to reflash ?
And BTW , you seem to always be there , big thanks man.

yeah, seems like you'll need to reflash the recovery.
I actually have a saved copy of the 1.4 recovery, if you give me your email i can send to you. the instructions to install it are on the original thread, here.

A question ?
For the past 1hrs ive been trying to get my phone to work. I installed cynogens recovery image 1.4 and after that tryed installing a theme and got a black screen i then notice it was because i didnt remove the icons b4 this. I was stuck cause i didnt have an sdcard reader so ive been using my cousin LG phone to transfer my data to the sdcard. So i tryed re-flashing the rom (Cynogen 4.0.4) with wip. Still got the black screen. Tryed a new rom (JACxHEROSki-v2.1) with wip , goes pass the G1 screen to the aqua blue cynogen android scate board screen to the black screen. Help ?
MOD EDIT
if you have a ? please give a hint in the title to what it is.
thank you

you might want to avoid constantly opening new threads, especially one that just has "?" in the subject; this one might get closed.
if your sdcard is partitioned correctly for cyanogenmod (ext2/ext3 - fat32) then you'll probably need to wipe the ext2/ext3 partition and wipe then reflash the rom. I haven't gone to a HERO rom yes myself, so i'm not sure if there is another step involved for that.

Ive never partitioned for Cynogen i have a clean 1g no partitions. Its always worked for me.

Im assuming that you didnt create a nandroid backup when you installed the recovery image? and let's both assume since you had Cyan running before that you have the correct Radio and SPL images.
ok, if you have no partitions we can skip a couple of steps.. try this, connect your phone to youe PC, boot into recovery with Home & Power and type the following commands.
alt&X to enter console
push enter
ums_enable
this will mount your sd and open it on your PC so you can verify that you have the correct update.zip on the root of your SD.
ums_disable
reboot recovery
alt&W
alt&S
If you are going to start flashing roms you really want to consider getting a bigger SD card, my nandroid backup is like, 900mb and without that it's kinda like playing russian roulette with your phone. I hope this helps.

FYI Start stating a short clip of your issue in the title of the thread.
Most likely if you don't, either:
A: your thread will be locked, or
B: you will not have as many fellow members trying to help you out.
TRhink of it this way, people here are busy.....they would like to know what they are gonna head into prior too opening a thread

You can go in the nandroid folder and delete old backups, folder names have dates. You can also store all of the folders and put them on your sdcard as needed, Nandroid only uses the one with the newest date anyways.

Boot Loop and Can't open Cache

After uninstalling astrid task manager my phone rebooted then started to boot loop (g1 screen then reboot).
I went into cyanogens recovery image (1.3.1) and I get E: Can't open CACHE. I can't do anything it's just stuck at this to reboot I have to take the battery out.
From what I've read I should be able to reformat my sd card and then it should work. Is this true? Assuming it does will I have to reapply the cyanogenmod image to get my phone working again?
Only problem is that I can't get XP or Win 7 to recognise the sd card anymore. I *should* be getting a new one tomorrow though.
I still have access through adb is there anything I can do before I get a new sd card?
I'm running:
HardSPL + Latest radio
Cyanogens Recovery Image 1.3.1
Cyanogens Mod 1.3.6.1
Update - I can get in via adb definitley now, I can mount the sd card and all the files are still there but I still have no idea how to recover to a workable phone.

So recovery mode isn't starting at all? Try booting the phone without the SD card in. It might give you a lot of errors, but might be able to get you to boot in the first place. That's first priority.

I can get into recovery mode but the only command that works is Alt + L.
I don't have my phone on me because I'm at work but will try it later tonight.
Thank you very much!
Try to do a wipe. Alt+w. If that doesnt work i suggest getting into fastboot and flashing the cyanogen recovery image 1.3.1. Instruction are in the thread for fastboot. To get into fastboot press (Camera + Power) if that doesnt work try (Back + Power).
I tried to do a wipe but no luck.
Is fastboot the three skateboarding android guys I've heard of?
At the moment I'm just trying to get a lot of information so when I go home I can make a start at fixing it.
So far I really love the attittude of people on the forum, it's pretty awesome.
Argh when I try to boot into fastboot I just get the normal tricolour screen and not 3 android skating guys.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm using the hardspl btw
OK so I've done some more reading, I apparently need the engineering spl for fastboot. Which is ok but I can't get the recovery console to work to flash a new spl. This is really frustrating.
Arg so according to the spl thread I have the stock spl which sucks because I could have sworn I used the hardspl, I have the files on my hdd for gods sake. So now if I'm correct I'm ****ed. I looked over the Hayuko guide I used and it definitely said HardSPL (http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cach...=35&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&client=firefox-a).
I'm stuck now.
Last post before I go to bed. I hope someone can help. If I don't hear anything then I'm off to t-mobile to see if I can get a new phone. If they can't then it's off to ebay.
You'll need the engineering spl or hard spl to flash a rom have you ever flashed a modified rom. Or are you stock. Do you have a2sd. I would imagine if your able to get to fastboot or some kinda recovery your not bricked. You can get an insurance replacement and use that phone as a test phone. Its fixable, need some more info.

I figured out what happened. I updated to the latest radio which pretty much reset my spl.
My SPL is now stock but still working, recovery image isn't though, main os isn't either.
Is it possible to flash Hard SPL from the normal SPL.
Try putting DREAIMG.nbh at the root of your sdcard and go into your spl and flash it.

Succesful now booting into android

You said a few posts back you have adb setup, what does logcat say is goin on when it reboots.

Your computer is probably not reading it because it's may not be assigned a drive letter. Try this... Go to control panel...Administrative tools...Computer management...Disk management...scroll down until you see your sd card partition. Right click on it and there should be something there that says assign a drive letter. Maybe this could help.

help! g1 stuck at loading screen

hey guys,
My g1 is stuck at the TMOBILE g1 screen.
i loaded this theme.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541841
and it worked great but then i saw this theme and liked it better
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520629
so i loaded it just like i loaded the first one. but it got stuck at the Tmobile g1 screen. so i tried to re load the other theme and its doing the same thing. i tried wiping by booting into Home+power button. but its still doing the same thing. can anyone help me out?? thanks.
What rom are you running? The first is for CM and the second one won't work on the newer CM roms. What you will prolly need to do is reflash the rom you want then make sure the theme you are flashing will work with the rom.

^ If this does not work, check your SPL and repetition your SDcard. Then go through the process for a fresh install of your htc rom. good luck

Uhm No, He said it worked fine with the first theme, for a cyan rom. His SPL has zilch to do with this unless it is a Hero rom/theme. But it is not, it is a theme for a older cyan rom. Repartition is the word i think you meant to use, and what is a "htc rom"? Don't get someone confused with bad advice please, we have enough problems in the Dream forums already.
And to help the OP, see what rom the theme you want to use is made for. And if is just the theme or the entire rom, as some themes are. If it is a small size like 10-20mb then it is just the theme in which case you want to get the rom it is made for and flash it (step 1 get it onto your sd and rename it update.zip, go into recovery and wipe, then flash the update.zip, reboot and go through the initial setup step get the theme onto your sd and rename it update.zip DONT WIPE!!! then flash update.zip). If it is the full rom+theme then you only need to go through step 1. Hope this helps with your troubles.
I looked this problem up on google and it brought me to this page. I am running CyanogenMod and tried to use this theme (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541242). Now I am stuck at the "T-Mobile G1" loading screen. I tried taking out the battery. Doing a "wipe data/factory reset" and restoring the latest backup. Nada. I'm very frustrated. What can I do? (Also big thanks to everyone in this community who help make this phone so great)

What version of CyanogenMod are you running? You should make sure you have the newest which is 4.0.3.1, so what you need to do is wipe, flash cyanmod 4.0.3.1, make sure you download the correct version of that theme here is the link and flash it. Just make sure you DO NOT wipe before flashing the theme. You should be all set after. PM me if you need more help.
How many people are going to have to ask you lol...? We want to help but you gotta tell us what CM version you have.

Flashing is changing the rom. You can find roms in the android development forum. I would suggest you use cyanogen mod 4.0.4 and then goto the themes and wallpapers forum and find one that works with it.
First thing you need to do is download the cyanogen mod 4.0.4 rom from android development forum. Put it on your sd card (if you cant boot up your g1 then goto recovery (home+power) and then goto console, hit enter, then type ums_enable and hit enter then you can plug it into your computer and load the cyanogen 4.0.4, rename it to update then on your phone type ums_disable and hit enter) then unplug your phone and type recovery and hit enter. Now hit wipe and after its done hit apply update, when its done reboot your phone. It will take 5-10 mins to boot up and after you go the the initial setup you can plug it into your computer and put the theme you choose on the sd card, delete the cyanogen mod (update.zip) then rename the theme to update and reboot your phone into recovery, hit apply update and after its done reboot your phone and it will take awhile again. If you do it all right your theme will be applied and you will be all good.
Ha this is going to sound funny but no one has mentioned it yet and I know there are some impatient people out there.
Are you waiting at the G1 screen for at least 15 mins? After a flash it can take upto 15 mins on the G1 screen to boot.

Restore from the nandroid I'm SURE you made before you started messing with things.
If you for some reason didn't do a nandroid backup then wipe data/factory, dalvik cache, and SD:Ext if you have apps2sd installed.
my dumbass didnt do the nandroid :/
i did this already i restarted phone and that gay ass Nexus X with the colors still comes on and stays like that sometimes the colors would freeze but it would fix itself and keep moving
im totally F'd..
Easy fix - you will start from scratch (like a brand new phone)
- Go to http://www.geekfor.me
- Download the 1.56.xxxx RUU onto your PC (not Mac)
- Double click RUU file and let it extract 9you may have to click 'OK' or 'Extract All' - It will create a folder of stuff - dont click anything yet...
- Power off your phone (remove battery and put back in if needed) and hold volume-up while it boots. You should see a white screen with text on it.
- Plug it in to your PC now via USB
- Back in that folder you just extracted double click the HTC logo icon (i forget the name) to start the process. It'll flash your phone to stock.

BEFORE you try that...because it has problems for some people:
Did you:
A. Wipe data/factory reset
AND
B. Wipe Dalvik-Cache?
Alright cool thanks ill try this..
if you guys dont know what the hell im talking about i can probably hook up this webcam i have and make a video lol
Yes i did.
Well lame..it says my battery is not charged up past 30 percent..ima have it charge for a little bit and see what will happen
wish me luck!
Good luck. I've RUU'd 3 times without issue and it was dead simple.
some people have problems with ruu and some don't. I would get back to recovery, enable sd card (forgot which option it is), and put a downloaded ROM onto the sdcard. wipe everything and then flash the ROM. sounds like you might have tried flashing something for 2.1 if you have 1.5 or the otherway around. Flashing the ROM should work.

Very first thing you should do is.. Turn off phone.
Hold down home + power button.. Scroll down to backup/restore.
Then do a nano backup... Not the one with ext.
Then boot your phone back up and open up your sdcard on your comp and go to nandroid/file inside it/ then copy that file to your computer. Always keep it safe.

I hope you learned your lesson and will do backups.
Another lesson you do not want to learn the hard way is what ROMs you can put on your phone. In case you didn't I read what I wrote in your other thread I will restate... BE CAREFUL WHAT ROMS YOU PUT ON YOUR PHONE!!! There are GSM ROMs which will completely fry your phone and you will not be able to recover. Also, if you put any other phone model ROM on your phone it will be toast.

I did my Rooting the long way through adb, so I don't know how Fresh Kitchen works on that end, but maybe he should say right after rooting to do a nandroid. I have my first nandroid on one of my backup sd cards, my computer, and on my current sd card. I'll be damned if I delete all 3.

some quick help please di11i's 6.0

i just flashed back to stock using odin. rooted the phone. installed the clockwork then i went into clockwork and went to install a new rom. i selected di11i's 6.0 rom and its says the following:
installing: SDCARD:dill1s6.0NO_OC.zip
finding update package...
and thats it. what do i do now before it went all the way through and then went back and rebooted and it started up. its like it hung on that part and it wont do anything. i would say its been at that screen for 5-10 minutes and now im worried. please someone give me a little info.
i didnt have enough post to post in the di11i's thread or i would have
thanks
I usually download the rom and place it in the sdcard root and reboot to recovery and install from sdcard.
thats what i did and i selected it in the recovery and went to install and it started but it stopped on the finding update package and i dont know what to do. can i take out the battery and it will reboot fine? i dont know i dont want to mess it up lol
use your key combo to get into recovery, or type "adb reboot recovery" if you have android sdk installed. then flash the zip again.

First of all, pls pull out battery and let us know the build number, if its 10.09 and earlier or one of the 10.10 and later models.
Second, do u have access to recovery console/download mode?
Recovery: Press and hold the two volume buttons, and power at the same time. When the phone restarts and it as at AT&T logo, release power (only). It should show u a recovery console.
Download: Turn off the phone. Hold the volume down, and plug the phone to computer. It should a yellow triangle and an android guy with a spade.
Following instructions are for 10.09 or earlier build phones only.
1. Get into download mode
2. Use the 1-click odin to flash stock
3. Copy the update.zip attached to this post to ur sdcard root.
4. Copy dilli's 6.0 NO OC zip to ur sd card (select no overclock kernel to be on the safe side in case ur phone does not support speeds over 1200)
5. Get the phone into recovery mode (as per instructions above)
6. Select "reinstall packages". U wud need to do this twice.
7. Now ur recovery console would come in green. Select "install zip from SD card", and then "choose zip from SD card", and then browse to the dilli's 6.0 zip file and select it.
Sit back having a cup of coffee, and the phone do its work.
Please let us know if u run into any issues.
thank you guys so much for the help i really appreciate it. i pulled the battery out and put it back in and went back into recovery. i then went to reinstall packages and went into clockwork. then i tried installing it again and it went through this time. i now have rebooted the phone and it is starting up now as i type this. also my phone is the 10.09

Based on ur number of posts, I presume u r new to this.
1. I would recommend u flash stock when moving between ROMs. This is not mandatory, but is recommended.
2. Do NOT use TiBu (titanium backup) to backup or restore any SYSTEM data. User apps and data is fine.

yes i am new to this lol. i was running cognition 3.02 and then just flashed 3.04 over the 3.02. but this time since i was flashing to a totally different rom i went back to stock using odin. and thanks for the tip on ONLY installing user apps and data.
i recommend you build a jig yourself or buy it online:

it is a very useful tool and will get you into download mode when things mess up. if you will flash / customize your rom in the future, you may need one ...
ya i have another cord i could cut and make one myself. lol this may be stupid but after i am flashed now and its working fine i installed titanium back up pro but its not showing up anywhere in my phone to use it. lol i am a phone noob just tryin to learn ahaha. thanks everybody
edit: i got it now lmao

[Q] clockworkmod recovery

I have a question on the clockworkmod recovery using the ADB..obviously when you try and install it through Rom Manager you only have an option for the Optimus V...so I followed the thread that designgears posted..enabled all the permissions and it seemed to all work...however, after the phone rebooted and I checked my sd card, nothing new was there...there is however a file on my internal memory "mmcblk0p6.backup"..its 10mb...is this the backup file it was supposed to create...also, when I go to Rom Manager and click on CWM it still says its not installed..am I doing something wrong or mising a step..any help is appreciated! I really wanna have this so I can flash a custom ROM...thank you!

You cannot use ROM Manager with the Thrill at this point. It sounds like you mistype a command when you were doing this. I would go back and redo the steps.

I think he may be misunderstanding CWM. In order to see if you have it installed, you need to do the 3 button combo when restarting. If you redo the steps that DG posted, you are probably going to overwrite the stock recovery that you just copied to your SD card.
Try restarting your phone while pressing and holding the 3D button, Volume Down, and then the power button until the LG comes up. Release the Power button only (keep holding 3D and Vol. Down) and it should boot into CWM.
Thanks for your reply! I tried the 3 button combo and it booted to CWM..so thats great...could you maybe elaborate on what you meant by overwriting the stock recovery...did I mess anything up by using the ADB method to install CWM...it says I'm supposed to have a recovery file on my SD card, but as I said, theres a file thats labeled ".backup" but its not on my external card..its under my drive for the actual phone memory...thanks again! I'm really new to the whole Android scene..I had an iphone for the past couple years and fairly good with jailbreaking..dont miss it at all tho..this is a bit more complicated but love the challenge! thanks for your help!

The concern would be if you did the procedure that DG described to put CWM on more than once. Since you did a backup of the stock recovery once, and installed CWM in place of it, if you did another backup of it, you would essentially be replacing your original backup with a backup of CWM instead. None the less, it's not really anything to worry about, because there is a backup of the stock recovery posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1270832 as well as the stock ROM. I just didn't want you to be surprised if you wanted to go back to stock and tried to restore your original recovery only to find that it is CWM that got backed up.
Make sense?
Yes, makes perfect sense..I actually did try that for the second time before I posted here...however, I moved the .backup file from the first try to my external SD card before I tried the second time...so I have a .backup file on my external card and the one from the second try on my phone memory...could i just delete the file from my phone memory and move the external file back? lol...just a thought...in any case, you have a good point with the stock recovery and rom available..thanks again for your help!

No problem. As long as you have a copy of it somewhere, you're golden.
where are the guides for installing clockworksmod, cwm onn the thrill?
People talk about it but i cant find any thing other than people asking about it when searching clockworksmod, cwm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257588
In the first post is how you go about installing CWM on your Thrill. Best thing to do is read through the posts and understand what you are doing before you start.
Great! Thanks again!
great that did the trick
for everybody who has trouble with where it says the rest will b done on the phones shell in cmd type:
all commands are done on the computer NOT the phone
kinda confused me
i've went through the steps that dg posted at least 5 or 6 times, and as far as i can tell, everything works in adb, but when i try to reboot, it just starts with the lg screen, then att screen and boots like normal, no cwm

Are you using the 3 button combo to get into recovery?
Sent from my LG-P925 using Tapatalk
yep, power off, hold all 4, release power once LG come up and keep holding the rest, still get att and boot up
You're only supposed to hold the 3D, Vol Down, and Power Button.
ah, i thought it was vol +/-...
that works !! thanks, lol
