i will try to be as detailed as possible. im coming from the kaiser community so go easy on me
when i had recieved the phone it would turn on go past the tmobile g1 screen and go into the recovery console. the console read. JF 1.41.
after reading around the best option i got was reverting everything back to factory settings.....and so i did. i installed the factory spl went back to rc29....then updated to rc 30 and installed the new cupcake.
everything was fine except for i couldnt get the phone activated given im an AT&T user.
this morning i finally recieved the unlock code from tmobile and when i turn the phone on with the att simcard, it gave me the triangle with the exclamation screen.
so i hit alt +l then alt w and after a reboot it would bring me back to the same screen. Also this recovery screen is diff from the jf 1.41 (im guessing this is the factory console).
now im out of ideas as to how to get this phone back in order. i would love flashing the DREAIMG.NBH but sadly my phone refuses to go in bootloader.
ive been trying to hold camera+ power and its jsut loads up the tmobile g1 screen.
any and all advice/helps are appreciated.
-thank you
so this is totally weird. i leave the phone unplugged with the battery out for about 3 hours. came back to work on it....turned it on and well it loaded and got me to the home screen ( no sim card ).
so i powered off the phone and inserted the AT&T simcard turn it on and it shows me the same screen again with the triangle and exclamation point.
how do u explain that ?!
pressed power for 3 seconds and then let go and held down the back key. it flashed the bootloader tricolor screen and then said ""everything will be reset to factory defaults .press send to reset"" and when i did that there was no change........nothing happened. ended up pulling the battery out..
Same problem..
I have very similar problem.. but mine takes much more than 3 hrs to come back.. and even then , the task manger keeps popping up from time to time in the home screen ,, so i guessed my home button was stuck or something...
After i found your "problem Sovled" post in another theread on 11th oct ..i thought i better take your suggestion before taking phone apart..
I was on 1.5 version and 2.22.19.26I radio. also i do not know whether i'm in RC29,30,33 ..
i'm really confused about all this radio,firmware ,recovery things....
Please Guide me ..
well first you need to get in your ph to find out if u have rc29. if you are able to get to home screen just hit menu - setting - about phone - all the way down it'll tell you what you are running.
i followed this guide to help me flash it to the cyanogenmod rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563679
hopefully it helps. but if you are able to get into bootloader unlike me then jsut flash the rc29 hopefully it will solve your problem.
my home key acted like it was stuck but now everything is working fine.
Thanks for Replying so quickly ..
I managed to go to the bootloader screen(tricolor) ..actually it went without even pressing the camera button(any idea why??) after leaving the phone without battery for about 5 hours.. and i flashed the Dreaimg-RC29 file .
Since then i'm Stuck in recovery mode again.. but this time the recovery utility is different (yellow letters)..i.e hopefully RC29 is succefully installed.
I wanted to complete doing your suggested guide before asking any more questions, but now i unable to so what shud i do now?
IS the task manger popping up involuntarily sometimes for you in the cM builds?
Can it be that you had a hardware button issue, which somehow rectified itself when going to Cyanogen..
I really appreciate your taking time to answer my questions ..
well sounds like jsut what had happened to me.
make sure you have tmobile simcard on you with a dataplan.
you're going to have to leave your phone off without the battery or just turned off for a while. from here on out it was trial and error. i kept trying to turn the phone on hoping it would go past the recovery screen once it did i activated the phone and finally completed the root process.
as for the cyanogen mod rom i think you are right. though on my initial flash i had a bunch of force closing apps but it all fixed itself upon a restart. ever since then i haven't seen the recovery mode every time i boot it.
PS: that reocvery mode that you see is the stock recovery meaning yes u have flashed RC29 sucessfully.
so i jsut flashed to CM 4.2.3.1. and well im back to square one. im booting into the recovery by default. obviously confirming my doubts about the hardware problem.
im going to try and leave the phone off for a while and see if i can get it to load up. usually that solves my problem.
Oh..
Thats depressing.. Anyways... Lets do it together then I have kept my phone unsed for about 16hrs now.. hope it works ..
Have you tried the HTC Diagonistic program for g1 (DREADIAG.nbh) ?.. I am yet to try it out as i cannot go to the bootloader..
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7NRX7H40
which version of cyanogen were you using before this happened?
i have not tried diagnostic. iw as going to use ADB to push the recovery on there but it went into bootloader.
i was using cyanogenmod rom 4.1.9999. now i have updated to 4.2.3.1.
actually iw as working on it last night. i re did that whole guide except for downloaded the new rom and flashed it.
so as of now once again that hardware flaw is gone and the phone is working fine.

Did you update from 4.1.9999 straight into 4.2.3.1? If so, that's the problem (maybe).. I suggest you install the HTC 1.6 ADP Rom (link in the cyanogen 4.2.3.1 post) then upgrade to 4.2.3.1. Make sure everything is updated.... rom, recovery & spl (before you upgrade SPL make sure you have the most recent radio version first! or you'll brick the phone). then give it a try and see what happens...
you are right. the first time i just flashed the new rom. the second time around i followed the guide except for i flashed the latest cyanogen rom.
I'm not able to make it go to the home screen even after so many attempts..
i could only manage to go to the bootloader screen once and flashed the RC29 and i'm stuck there
Can you elaborate on how you got to the Home screen , like how long you keep it off or press which buttons to start ?
I'm not in the US , and have bought this phone from Ebay (new, never used) from a seller with good feedback for G1 (wanted this phone very badly). I was using the phone for barely 3 days when i did a factory reset from the phone and this problem started occurring .
IS there anything else i can do..?
Thanks for Helping..
Still waiting for your answer

how did you flash the RC29? after pressing the power button
did it give you any errors? once its flashed, reboot by pressing home and back (or w/e the SPL tells you to)
it should boot into the rom
Home button problem (repaired/solved)
Firstly, thanks for responding ..
I had flashed RC29 when it had gone to the tricolor bootloader screen on its own
but after that it would not go anywhere other than recovery(exclamantion mark)
Now good news
4 hours back i opened the phone again(third time) , and took a safety pin and started scraping(gently) the non shiny parts of the connector ( daughter board to main board) .
I think it was previously shorted near that area , so by scraping removed the shorted metal joints .. and now the phone booted up to RC29 (just like that) and i even installed the cyanogen mod ..
Many thanks to u all .. hope this Comes UP in google search for people with similar problems(and there are many)...
KEYwords: Home button stuck on recovery no booting
Ah wow didnt think of that lol.. glad to see you got it to work

For some odd reason everytime I try to install the cyanogen rom v4.0.4 I believe its one of the stable ones, I do everything to root my fone and install the rom and my fone says its done w the updates and to reboot it and when I do it stays @ the g1 screen. Now I take the battery out and press the cam and end buttons to reinstall the dreaimg to take it back to rc29 state. When I power it up it works just fine the lil android dude pops up and i put in my info and then just redo the steps to the cyanogen rom and for some reason my fone will install everything I will assume properly and i go to reboot it and it stays on the tmobile g1 screen.
I need help! I have tried and tried and Idk what to do now.
This all started bc I deleted something from the cm updater and my fone hasnt worked since...if ne one can help me plz email me @ [email protected]....

try flashing another build. or wait about 15 maybe 20mins and see if goes away. or just do wipe... or i bet its your sd card try getting to the point where it hangs take out the sd card and then turn it on again.
The first boot after each flash or dalvik-cache dump will take a long time. Just be patient.

Yes a real long time, right fingerlickin. lol
But if you loaded RC29 back then your gonna have to reroot.
I would suggest wiping if you issue isn't fixed by waiting. I've had to wipe a few times jumping between Experimental and Stable builds mainly because of big Donut differences in the build's.
Fixed???
I think it may have fixed it self, I had my friend look @ it and I had taken the sd card out of it and showed him what happened and he left it alone and it came up w/ an update now he did and its working now like normal...SOoO im scared to try again jus bc i dont wanna f*** it up again but Im stubbern and w/ the info ive learned so far on all these sites I just may do it all over again.
Use THIS guide next time.

Cyanogenrom not working???? HELP!
For some reason every time i dl the cyanogen rom on my g1 it doesnt work i do everything have followed every step and it doesnt work....but i downloaded jf just to see if it worked and it did but im still wondering why this cyanogen rom 4.0.4 doesnt work??? [email protected]
Just received my G1 today. Haven't changed anything, went through first boot, got everything setup to my liking, downloaded a few apps from the market.
Rebooted the phone since it looked like I lost data connectivity, and it's now stuck at the bootloader screen. It doesn't seem that the camera button is stuck, I can push it and feel actually depress. Booted into recovery and did a factory reset/wipe, still no good.
Should I be able to reflash an original ROM image from recovery to get going again? (After I hunt down an SD card)
... how can you be "stuck" at the bootloader if you can already access the recovery?
Couple of things you can try:
1) Reflashing the ROM (since you can access recovery right?)
2) If you're actually stuck in the bootloader and can't get to any other screen, you can try:
Code:
fastboot reboot
3. If that doesn't work, you can try reflashing DREAIMG.nbh (RC29) and starting over.
Yea, it boots right to the bootloader. If I hold power + home it goes into recovery, but that doesn't get me anywhere.
Tried reflashing RC29 via the bootloader. After it's complete, I press the action key to reboot, and it goes right back into the bootloader.
Where am I supposed to enter in "fastboot reboot"?
Is there anything I should try updating at the recovery screen via SD card?
if you just got the G1 recently and you haven't installed any custom software on it and you're already having theese issues why not just exchange it for one that actually works instead of going through the headache of trying to fix it? Especially if the software hasn't been modified and you keep getting thrown into the bootloader
That'll be the next step. I didn't buy it locally tho, through the web, so I'd like to see what I can do before I go that route.
if you use the rc29 DREAIMG.nbh it writes over everything, so if your phone still dosn't load you may have a more serious problem, exchange may be your best bet
I've sent an email to the vendor I bought it from about exchanging it.
I've noticed that when booting into recovery, after pressing alt - L, the top of the screen says :
Android system recovery utility
E:Can't open /cache/recoverfy/command
Then it lists out the Alt commands.
possibly try downloading the DREAIMG.nbh file again, format your sdcard to fat32 once more, let your phone boot into the bootloader and apply the update and cross your fingers and pray to wich ever god you believe in
I've left the battery out all night. I was in the process of formatting the sd at the computer again, and tried powering on the G1. Holy crap it boots up!
Now I'm back to the problem of no data services. I can surf the web all I want on the dash, I know I have a data plan. I'll have to give t-mo a call I guess, since I can't get the G1 registered now.

Ok, definently sending this back. It has stopped working again. I'd turn it off from the menu, swap out the SIM, and when I go to turn it back on, it'll boot to bootloader again. Reflashed later today for kicks, booted bootloader 1st time, booted up correctly the 2nd time (but didn't have SIM in), booted a 3rd time with SIM in to try to activate, but it went to bootloader again. Any subsequent boots are all to bootloader.
I'm thinking it's crappy hardware.
Still intermittent booting. Until I get the goahead to send it back for an exchange, what else do we think I should try. Could it be the radio version? I tried to update with an HTC radio, but the signature didn't let it load. What, if any, radio downloads will work with a stock G1?
I'll try a few more things tonight, and post up what happens. Maybe check out tmobile's downloads for firmware updates.
If I didn't buy the phone directly from t-mobile, would they be able to do anything for me if I take it in to a store?

No they won't. Your best bet is to contact HTC cause the phone is still under warranty, but you better contact them soon cause the phone is about to be a year old on Oct. 20th I believe.
I'll try that then, since all I got for a response from the seller was "has the issue been resolved yet?" I'll check with HTC today about the manuf. warranty.
Hi guys,
UK G1 (Dream) phone recently updated to the 1.6 build, all working fine.
Yesterday I tried installing the free app Shop Savvy. the phone resetted itself after install and sat on the G1 boot screen permanently.
Now phone will pass this boot screen (Tmobile G1)
Tried:
Recovery mode - will not work at all
Quick boot - brings up the multicolour screen but does nothing after.
**PHONE IS NOT ROOTED**
looks like I have had the phone JUST over a year, not looking good...
Any ideas?
You can boot in to the SPL/bootloader so thankfully you haven't bricked
If you're on a contract with tmo you could take it back to the store and they should give you a replacement, but where's the fun in that?
If you want to fix the problem yourself, all you need to do is downgrade to firmware 1.1, then accept the OTA update to 1.6.
Here's the procedure:
1)Put the phones SD card in to a card reader and format as fat32
2) Extract this file and copy it to your SD card as 'DREAIMG.nbh'
3) Put the card back in the phone and hold down power and camera to boot in to the bootloader.
4) Flash it. (Action button is the trackball).
It's a good idea to leave the charger plugged in and have a decent amount of charge in the battery (eg 40%+).
Afterwards the phone will restart and you will need to re-enter your google account info. All your apps and data will be gone, but there's not much we can do about. You can set things up and install apps while you wait for the prompt to update.
Thanks alot AdrianK,
Really appreciate the steps and info, nice one
I have done some flashing on other phones etc so I have no problem with this. However, I am wondering how a normal app such as Shop Savvy could corrupt my ROM and am wondering if it might not be better to get a new phone as this one could have hardware fault?
What do you think?
Silver.
OK,
did exactly as you said Adrian. Phone went through all the flashing routine then, right at the end said press action button to continue (trackball) every time I press the trackball phone returns to the bootloader screen
What now?

Thanks but unfortunately I have already tried that.
Phone just sits on the G1 boot screen as before...
Any other Ideas?
is that ROM you linked for me a UK ROM Adrian?
Once you get to RC7 use these to build back upto 1.6

Yeah that's the RC7 ROM, the UK ROM for 1.1. RC29 is 1.1 for US phones.
This is all very odd, especially that it was an app that caused it, or as you suggested possible hardward failure. Oh well, I guess all you can do now is take it back to tmo.
Ok so i got this g1 for free. I dont have t-mobile im on att. Im also nostranger to HTC ive been using the Diamond and TYTAN 2 for years now!
So when i first turned the phone on it would boot into android and tell me i needed a t-mobile sim. Well my plan was to get an unlock code and use the phone with ATT. Anyways for some reason i turned the phone on and and it started booting to the triangle screen... Id treid alt l then wiped the phone and reverted back to stock settings but it still boots to the triangle screen. I have no idea why the phone just started doing this. I also have no idea the history of the phone if its ever been rooted or anything. I need to get this phone working again so i can attempt to unlock it.
I tried to follow the unroot article to get back to stock but when i put the spl on an sd card named update.zip it wouldnt install it says no signiture found verification failed. I also downloaded rc29 and renamed it to update tried to install but that failed with a diffrent error.
Im not sure why im going straight to the triangle screen like i said i never screwed with the phone at all i just turned it on and it started doing that. Im turning the phone on by taping the end call button.
I know you said you tried to follow the steps to root the phone but it sounds like you didn't do it the correct way.
If you have the RC29.zip you need to unzip it and move the Dream.nbh file over to the root of your SD card. Then press and hold the camera button while powering on the phone. It will go to a gray screen where it SHOULD say "Press power to install update" you do that....DO NO INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS! and then once that is done you should be back to the very bare bones stock G1. Problem is you need to do more than that to get Root access, and the rest of the steps would require being signed in. There should be a thread on here somewhere about signing in w/o a SIM card which you need to search for and follow.
here is the best root guide if you haven't found it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
ya i havent tried the above article yetl i tried to unroot the phone, not root it. Becuase it saidit would revert back to stock settings and im not sure wether the phone has been rooted.
.
I will work through this a little bit later but like i said the phone goes straight to the triangle exclamation point screen where you press alt l or whatever alt combo you want. So there is no way i can tell if its below rc30... Also screwing around earlier i held down the camera button and tapped end call it still went to the same screen with the triangle. Maybe that becuase theres no spl installed? Like i said this phone was working fine and then it just stoped booting into android and started going into this recovery mode or whatever it is, so im not even sure if rooting is what i need to do. As of right now i jst want it to boot up again and tell me no sim card found so i can work from there.
The triangle screen is stock RECOVERY.
You have set the boot recovery flag.
Try pressing home-back when you're in there.

I recently bought this Nexus off eBay and it worked fine.
Owner said it had problems with the SD card, but it seemed to be working, for they said it wouldnt read, when it does.
Anyway, it had cyanogen mod 6.1.1 on it, and I hate the setup...so i changed roms. That was a success, but when i flashed a sense rom thru clockwork(most updated) it said:
E:Error in /sdcard/N1Sensation_v0.4.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
Now, when i flash any roms, whether it says it installed correctly, it doesnt change anything. Now it's stuck at the 4 color x with the unlock icon. Any advice is good advice!
In my hboot, it says:
*** UNLOCKED ***
NEXUSONE PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.35.0017
MICROP-0b15
TOUCH PANAL-SYNT0103
RADIO-5.00.00.04
Oct 12 2010, 14:33:16
HBOOT
Etc. Etc. Etc.
Thanks for any help!
Edit: I fixed the issue with why it failed, was my fault, didnt partition the card...but i was flashing a stock rom and it said complete and when i rebooted it stayed at the X and then powered off. Since then has never turned on. I don't know what to do. Nothing will turn it back on. I have a universal charger that charges the battery and it said the battery is full. I need help!
Ok lets see here try this plug in the charger then pull the battery place it back in wait a few seconds and repeat until you see the splash screen (the static X). This could get the phone to at least boot.
But just to check did you flash a radio in all that stuff??

Try flashing CM7. Also...before you do...you may want to search for a format.zip from a member named temasek. It'll wipe your phone...clean. Real clean. Then flash CM7. try that.
also....those sense roms sometimes take at least 5 minutes to boot. Sometimes it'll stay on the X screen for 5 minutes or it'll stay on the bootanimation screen for 5 minutes. FYI.

I can't flash anything. Phone wont react to anything anymore. Hoping one of my family members can fix it. But if I get it on I will try that.
I am pretty sure i waited long enough, but who knows. I didn't partition my card, which may have been the problem. And also it was S-On....which i thought was odd when it had a custom firmware.
Unlock bootloader. Flash recovery. Boot into recovery. Wipe everything. Flash rom.
Why do you guys keep suggesting software stuff when it's probably a hardware problem he can't get the phone to boot up so he can't do any of that.
Although there is one thing I want you to try before your family take a crack at it to take it apart and what not, it's a long shot but it's your last chance if it's software. Hold down trackball and press power keep holding trackball for another 5-10 seconds (better to long then to short) then connect it to the computer via USB you could see a popup notification saying that it's looking for driver software if you do then it's software and we need to reflash everything and might need to unlock the bootloader. Now if you don't see a popup notification I would still go check in the device manager and check for an unidentified device probably in other (it should be extracted so that you can see it).
If this doesn't work then sorry but I think it's a brick
Because in order to find out if its truly a hardware problem you need to try every software fix first.
Op mentioned nothing of trying fastboot as well. Software fix is free hw is not. That is why we suggest software fixes.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Let me remind you guys, THE PHONE WONT TURN ON AT ALL REGARDLESS OF WHAT I DO. I can post a YouTube video to show everything. It'd be very random for it to be hardware because it just turned off and will not turn back on. If there is any software like an RUU out there, that would help, if not, ill have to buy a bottom piece and warranty it out. But I'd feel bad because that isn't the right thing to do.
I don't expect you guys to fix it and I and very thankful of your help! But the phone won't turn on at all. So telling me to flash roms doesn't work. Imagine it as flashing a rom with the battery out of your phone. I am wondering if there's an adb way or something to get it to turn on and restore to stock?
With all that said, any help is amazing help and I am very grateful that this isn't a post I have to bump! Thank you so much, when I go on the PC, ill thank the helpful posts
Sent from my (finally) permanent root Sensation 4G
Then it is a brick if it won't turn on at all. The entire getting stuck at the x thing confused me to think it was powering on.
You have me confused sir, I'm not quite sure what good it is your looking for a RUU for. If the phone truly won't turn on/go past the X screen and you have it on a charger with no LED notification, then the phone is bricked. When you said you flashed a Sensation rom, I truly hope you just meant a Sense rom. If you can still get to the bootloader screen then you are not bricked and should retry everything from scratch.
