I have a rooted G1 I was using Enomther's HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 ROM And Cyanogen's 1.4 recovery image....when all of a sudden while i was trying to text on the slide out keyboard only the letter E,F, and D would work so i tried rebooting my phone...it stayed stuck at the G1 screen and kept rebooting itself I took out the battery and tried to boot in recovery and did when I tried wiping the phone it would not let me press the home key to confirm the wipe...so i just rebooted from the recovery screen the phone turned on but it did not load any of my widgets and said safe mood at the bottom left hand corner and only the power button worked on the phone.....so i put the DREAIMG.nbg file on my sd card And Booted W/ Camera +power and it got to the screen but when prompted to press the power button to perform the reboot it would not do anything so I took out the battery again and now everytime i try turning on the phone even in recovery it just keeps rebooting at the G1 screen then after like 10 minutes it turns off.....Anybody Think The Can Help?
which spl are you using? You could use fastboot to flash a nandroid backup from before you're issues started.
Not Sure Never Flashed Any ROMS That Require The New SPL Did Not Want To Brick My Phone...SO I Am Still Using The Hard SPL I Flashed When I Rooted My Phone
If you're using the HardSPL you should be able to use fastboot, you'll also have to have fastboot setup on your computer, you can check out this thread for some good info on that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
also you'll have to have a nandroid backup from before you're issues started, I can provide you with a link if you need some good back up files
My Phone Won't Load Into Fastboot It Does The Same Thing Just Stays At The G1 Screen And Then Turns Off
your first post said that you were able to boot you're phone using camera+power ?????
Yea I Was Able Too Once Just Like The Recovery But Now It Doesn't Load Anything It Just Keeps Rebooting After The G1 Screen
do you have adb installed?
Sounds like a hardware problem, maybe some buttons are stuck.

I've been trying to root my stupid Rogers Dream for quite a while now.
After some progress, I've run into a dead end...
I am stuck at the ROGERS screen. I cannot boot the phone into safe mode, recovery, or into fastboot; it all ends up at the Rogers screen.
The last steps I've done would be applying the first update. It brought me back to the root screen, where I did a quickup, and after that finished, I accidentally restarted the phone.
Is there anything I can do to reverse this?
(And yes, I've tried using search, and I wasn't able to find anything relevant.. Help would be greatly appreciated.)
If you can get the recovery or bootloader, than you not bricked, wipe reflash your rom and if that does not work than reformat your sd
I really appreciate the quick reply, but I hate to be needy; how would you reflash your rom?
Hit the apply update.zip from recovery, or if you are using cyan recovery 1.4, then you can do apply any zip.
Just for ****s and giggles, try removing your sdcard and then try to boot your phone
I cant even access recovery mode. What are my options then?
Sounds like a brick, smells like a brick, looks like a brick......probably a brick.
But try taking the sd out, if that wont work maybe take the battery out and give it a few. If it won't work and you can't get to recovery or fastboot you are in trouble.
Camera+Power doesn't work? What was your loading process? Which SPL, Radio and Rom did you load?
I was following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4280573#post4280573
I was at step 10, (10.Apply “update.zip”, wait until phone idles, then press the HOME + BACK buttons. It will reboot, finish writing “hboot.img”, then reboot again into Recovery mode by itself. Do not interrupt it at all until it's done.) and I was about to finish writing the hboot.img, however, my finger slipped and I pressed restart on the trackball..
I was using SPL 1.33.2005 and I don't think I applied the radio yet.. all of my roms, and resources were off that page.
And sadly, camera + power does not work. I just see the rogers logo.

Have you flashed the SPL?? If so some of the SPLs actually wipe out the phone so it's left "romless" Use an SD card reader to put a ROM on the then flash again....
But after reading your post again it seems like you cant get to recovery. If that's the case then the only thing that we can do is use fastboot to get the recovery img back. When you get to your SPL is it the Rainbow screen or is it androids skateboarding? If it's the Rainbow screen you may have hit a massive roadblock. If it's the skateboarding you're in luck. Now you do have to have ADB/Fastboot configured on your PC (Click Here to find out how)put a recovery image (named recovery.img) in the C:\[whatever you extracted the ADB stuff to]\tools and then using Command Prompt:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
What this does is erase your current recovery and then reloads your new recovery. If you continue to have issues you could always go back to stock, reroot and see if you're running into the same problems. (This part I think is easier)
First of all, I am a newbie so please be patient with me....
I have the Sprint HTC hero and I did the following to root my phone>>>
hxxp://theunlockr.com/2009/11/18/how-to-root-your-sprint-hero-in-one-click/
After I rooted my phone succesfully, I came on here and downloaded Damage control v2.0r2 found here >>> hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653222
And then followed these instruction to load the damagecontrol ROM>>>
hxxp://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-your-htc-hero/
I then hit reboot and now my HTC hero has been stuck for the last 30 mins on the start up screen which is white and has the words "hTC" in green letters and under that it says "quietly brilliant" in black letters, I can't turn the phone off or it will not let me hit the power button and home button to bring up the reboot screen.....I then tried plugging in to my PC through USB again and my PC screen went black.....
can anyone help????

Thanks for the input......
I tried doing this.... pulled battery and phone shut off.
I started phone back up by holding home and power buttons and it takes me to a white screen page (that has 3 androids on skateboards down at the bottom) that reads:
HeroXC
HBOOT-1.41.0000 (HERO20000)
MICROP-0110
TOUCH PANEL-SYN0140
RADIO-1.04.01.09.21
Sep 1 2009, 19:18:45
(Then it seems to give me only one option)
CLEARSTORAGE
Delete all user data?
<ACTION> Yes
<SEND> No
I was hoping to get the original reboot screen....what can I do from here????

Yes....I followed the steps under #2 on this website

(change x's to t's)
Try the tutorial on this page. Its the one I used and got it right the first time. If not, you can try Fresh's Kitchen. Its pretty much a one click root that actually works.
are you making sure you are not holding down the volume down button when you boot?
Hold down your home key and while holding it down press and let go of the power button. Just to be sure keep holding the home key. You should boot into a recovery console. Let me know if you get to it
If not you can still access it if you can get into fastboot....which is holding the down? volume button and turning it on.
Fresh's kitchen will Root your phone. I wish there was a way to get his on the top of google search's. His is alot easier than all the other methods.
Thank all of you that responded.
My phone was fixed in the weirdest way. I simply hooked it up to my PC with USB and rebooted both my phone and the PC and it worked.
So it seems that I may have simply unplugged the USB from the PC too soon and that is why it did not reboot all the way.
Anyway, that was just weird. A simple reboot to my PC while hooked to the phone through USB and it works fine and damage control Rom is working fine.
Once again thanks.
I noticed you got it to work. But I would like to add for anyone reading this, when you got the android guy on the skateboard its just the normally recovery screen that comes on the phone, its always there even when you flash a new recovery to your phone. Sometimes when im tryin to boot into recovery I will get the same screen, pull the battery and try again, Iv had times where it went to the white screen 5 or more times and then finally boot into my custom recovery.

You will probably have to wipe everything and flash a rom again.
Here is a nexus boot screen that will work. And it wont mess with the rom.

sorry forgot to let you guys know..im running HTC HERO SPRINT..
:/ i just put a next theme on it
Hello, I got hold of an HTC G1 but it seems like it's bricked. When I turn on the phone it shows the T-Mobile G1 screen then boots into recovery every time, even though I never press the home button. Looks like this phone boots into hboot by holding the return button instead of the photo one, is that normal? I tried restoring the phone with the DREAIMG.nbh but when it instructs me to press the send button or any other key to cancel nothing happens. When I am in the recovery mode the keys seem to work as I can alt+s and alt+w. Is there some way I can fix this or might this be a bad keys/buttons case?
Thanks for reading.
Is it rooted? If so, try Flashing a ROM?
I don't think it's rooted, I have the official recovery img.
Redownload a new copy of the DREAIMG.img from another reliable source. I recall downloading one that was corrupt when I first rooted my phone and it gave me a few days of trouble. Try reflashing from there.
was using my nexus one as i was switched it off removed the sim card from this phone placed it in another phone... left my nexus one on charge and turned it on left the room when i got the vibrate didnt even saw wether it was completly on or not... came back home saw the phone off... tried to turn it on but it wouldnt.... then connected the charger to the phone then turned it on and it shows a X and a unlocked sign at the bottom stays for a while and then the screen gets black and the same thing happens over and over again
Its going in a reboot loop I think.
Try going into the bootloader by pressing the trackball and power button together.
and then enter bootloader and then recovery.
In the recovery select reboot.
Btw do you have a nandroid backup?
I do have a backup lying around somewhere but i'm not sure of that. And i tried that boot loader thing but when i go to that menu as soon as i press the volume - button the phone boots off again
did you try the 3 finger:
pwr/vol-/trkball at same time may take up to 20 seconds to boot into bootloader
or, may need to use fastboot from command terminal and flash new recovery/rom like passimg to go back to stock then upgrade from there
pass image method is in wiki
Try this:
- Press the power button and the trackball together
- Select Bootloader and then Recovery
- Flash a different ROM (Stock\CM\MIUI\or try flashing again your current rom)
- If it doesn't work, flash a new rom AND wipe data and cache
