Did you read anything you typed? Really messy.. blah.. anyway
A brick is when your phone won't boot, go into recovery, or load the SPL. So you're fine on that front. Really what you need to concentrate on is starting from scratch. Here is a link that'll get you started. http://gizmodo.com/5146797/how-to-hack-android-for-multitouch-web-browsing-on-the-t+mobile-g1

I would try to reflash your recovery:
Download this file rename it to recovery.img and put it on the root of your SDcard
Then you can do this in terminal--
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system
cat /sdcard/recovery.img > recovery.img
flash_image recovery recovery.img
If you want to get donut download this file and then flash that.
Update: am on cupcake now,I guess I should wait for a donut ota?

Ok not a dumb question. Do you have your g1 connected to your computer??

another thing you can do if the wipe wont work even after re-partitioning the sdcard is to re update.zip haykuro spl looked like a spl issue i ran into before. just a thought!

well at the absolute worst you will just have to re-root again.. time consuming but its not gonna kill your phone.
one more thing i just thought about if SPL dont fix it.. the other thing i did was reinstall the cyanogen recovery... one of the 2 will work hopefully.. i am leaning more toward the SPL tho good luck and let me know what happens..

try unrooting your G1 by flashing the Dream.nbh, im sure you can find it in the forums. then root your G1 again. oh and also try out AMON_RA's recovery images, you can easily repartition your sdcard with it.
Good luck man, hope this works
*EDIT: actually i think i didnt mention everything you needed to do to unroot.
this website has links to the files you need and great instructions on how to unroot.

maybe its something wrong with his install script. anyways, flashing your system image from your safe nandroid restore from fastboot just before flashing the blur image should work
how about ..
you unzip your update.zip
hop in the meta-inf folder open up google then anroid
then update-script
open that with textpad
scroll down to the part where it says
CHOWN 1,0,1,0,5,*some other numbers* System:xbin
delete it
save
rezip and then resign and flash
theres even a resigning.exe floating around somewhere all you gotta do is put "update.zip" in the same folder as the exe and it signs for you
wow 2 great Ideas!! will try and return thannks!
ok guys I finally got it!!! created my moto account and signing in!!
ok so I flashed danger spl and it worked!! thank guys for your support on this issue i really appreciiate it
Hey Guys,
I hope this is in the right section. I'm having some issues with my rooted G1.
I couldn't get it to update to DRC92 (http://db.androidspin.com/android_developer_display.asp?developerid=21) so i tried following these instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553416) in the hope starting from scratch would solve the issues. I couldn't even get passed the step 7 in the guide as telnet gave a connection refused error.
I'm now stuck on RC7 and every time i try to add a rom i get
Code:
E:No singnature (454 files)
E:Verification failed
I also tried to change the recovery image to cm-recovery-1.4.img to try and install Cyanogen and i got the error "flash_image: not found".
I would prefer to have the official DRC92 rom installed though.
Does anyone have and ideas as to what the problem is and how i can get around it?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best Regards, George
Im confused wether you have root...If you are on XDA your arse better have that HTC device or your looking around the wrong ******* forum.Im guessing your phone is fully stock fresh from th bakery i presume? If you have 1.5 now you better get to finding the one click root or find your way over to cyan wiki for the root guide.I be your arse to clicks and dog that you would be better off having root than stock.Oh yeah i forgot but welcome to xda and you better be gettin that root instead of reading this.Are yo usure you have root? WHat recovery are you changing from? You said you wanted to change it to cyan 1.4 when there are only 2 recovery avail..
Thanks for your reply. Yes i have root, i rooted it using an older guide that i can't find now. The recovery image was recover_testkeys.img.
The recovery image i tried to install is at te bottom of this page http://db.androidspin.com/android_developer_display.asp?developerid=3.
Any ideas?

First of all...the best recovery for the g1 is amon_ra
Second of all...what rom are you trying to install?
Go into the bootloader by pressing camera+power
Tell me what your radio and hboot/spl is as of right now.

Hi,
I now have amon_ra, my Hboot is 1.33.2005/2.22.19.26i
Now choose what ROM you want to install
As of now you can flash CM6, Biffmod, and a few others with your spl and radio.
I personally recommend Froyobylaszlo (or Frayo, my mod of it...you choose). Its probably THE fastest and most full feeling rom for g1
There's ezgingerbread also
These both need a special radio and spl
Make your choice and ill tell you what you need next

Find the thread for it and flash according to instructions!
If you need help ask here or there...
You're gonna have to partition your sd card...its pretty much a requirement
It'll wipe the sd

So I just recently rooted my Sprint Hero using z4root after failing in several other ways. I would like to put on a custom recovery and start messing with custom roms, but I am running into numerous roadblocks.
For one, the recovery on the phone is corrupted. I'm not sure how, but if I boot to recovery I get a red exclamation point symbol.
So I tried to use adb and flash_image to install the recovery, but discovered that flash_image is not on my phone.
I have found the binary for flash_image but have not been able to put it into /system/bin in order to execute it. I would have to put adb into root mode to push it directly there, but can't since I am still running Release code. I can't move it from /sdcard or /data because I got a cross-device error.
I did figure out how to run flash_image from /sdcard, but I just got 'out of memory' errors.
I have tried downgrading to 2.27.651.5 since that seems to be the version everyone uses to fix anything, but the ruu fails to install due to Error [140]: Bootloader Version Error
I have been able to downgrade to 2.27.651.6, but that didn't help anything.
I am clueless at this point and feel like I have done my due diligence. Any ideas?
I should also add my current config:
SW number 2.32.651.2
Baseband 2.42.02.10.29
Kernel 2.6.29-ba77cf03
HBOOT-1.47.0000

Yes. I would be thankful for any suggestions.
Z4 will give you root but not a recovery I believe. The reason why you have the red triangle isn't because you have a corrupt recovery its because you have no revovery. Ill send you a pm with something that might help.

I never received a PM.
Have you tried simply installing ROM Manager to install the recovery that way? That's generally the quickest and easiest way to do it, and should set you up for getting everything going.

ROM Manager is no longer available from the market. If you have an .apk you could give me that would be great.

Please help me when you get the chance
I looked in the market and saw Rom Manager in mine. Make sure that you flash the recovery 1st and then do a backup (nandroid) so you have your current phone just in case something happens when you start flashing new roms or something. I don't know why you don't show the app in the market. I don't think that Z4 would change your build.prop, but I have never used Z4 either.
I apologize on the delay. If you haven't solved your issue yet check your pm's.

Huh? This is one of the reasons why most of the knowledgeable members are helping less and less. When you receive advice/help the least you can do is post if it worked or not.
