Hello,
I managed to install the CyanogenMOD recovery image through flashrecc 090909.
I wiped all the data and following another tutorial I installed directly cyanogenMOD ROM 1.4.xx. I restarted the phone and it won't boot, the Orange logo remained there for 40 minutes, after which I restarted it.
I wiped all the data again.
I installed update.zip, the phone restarted and the recovery console popped automatically with the message Formatting CACHE, and it's doing that for an hour and counting.
What should I do?
Did I bricked it? or is it a soft brick, if so how can I make boot? ANY ROM, not specially the cyanogenmod.
Hope I didn't bought me a 250Euros paperweight :|
Thanks, ARthur.
A link to the the tutorials you followed could help me in seeing where you went wrong. From reading it, the part that confuses me, is the Orange Logo. Of which are you speaking of?
what was the update.zip you installed, it sounds like the htc image or the radio or maybe an spl, after you can use the recovery console (basically like 30 seconds of formatting cache on the screen) you can flash the rom.
The Orange Logo is actually the main Android software's image. When you turn it on, depeneding from where you bought it, the operator logo/company usualy is onscreen.
(Before you see the android logo)
BUT I think I was to in a hurry, I have the Dev software now workingm I fell asleep and now it works, just have to try the same with CyanogenMOD.
update.zip is the HArdSpl / older HBOOT

Best thing you can do is a complete reinstall of the spl radio and of course the rom i recomend using a old cyanogen mod this should fix and problems if nt unroot and reroot the phone hopefully wont come to that

I think i bricked my phone by fallowing this tutorial.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3874647&postcount=406
It happened after flashing the spl.
My phone will not go past the white "t-mobile g1" splash screen.
thank you for reading.
Damn, another brick? Did you make sure you had a PVT board and not the DVT-1, DVT-2 boards? It's a known problem with the Special SPL that it pretty much bricks DVT board phones...at least so far. (check by booting with camera+power if possible, board type is shown on the first line of text)
Can you boot using home+power? Are you just stuck at the Splash screen? If so, after about 10 mins the screen will change, giving you an triangle error symbol. At this point push Alt+L. This should give you the recovery utility, where you will have access to wipe (you should prob do one) and reflash a rom.
Of course this is all assuming you have root already.
i dont know if i actually got root i fallowed some tutorial on that too today i can do both of those boots but dont know how to flash anymore updates with my phone stuck like this

Ok, so what you need to do is this:
1. Wait for the error message //remember it sometimes takes 10 mins or so
2. open keyboard, hit Alt+L //this will toggle your phone to the recovery utility
3. If you have root, you may have a recovery utility that says "JF version 1.43", if not you have the stock recovery utility
4. If you have root, you could try to DL pretty much any rom although I might try the Ion rom for its stability and simplicity //there are tons of instructions for flashing a new rom
5. If no root, search in the Dev section of the Dream forum for an OTA ( Over The Air, ie. stock) rom. In particular, search for Dreaimg.nbh, and read the instructions for reflashing it. This will help you gain root.
6. reboot, and enjoy (hopefully)
If none of that works, you can find the "Bricked G1's" thread on the Dev section too. I think your prob out of luck, but it's possible someone has/or is coming close to a fix.
re flashing ill let you know the out come
lol you didnt brick it since u can access the recovery image.
anyways what happened to me yesterday, i flashed latest radio, the latest spl and it wouldnt boot. i flashed a new system image but still no boot (t-mobile screen). I wiped the system (data partition) from recovery boot, and reflashed with a new system image, worked ok... so from what i get, u need to wipe / reflash system, if you upgrade spl...
is by using a card reader on a pc the only way to flash a different img if this happens to you?
my phone is in root and i'm on the same g1 screen. if i take the battery out i can boot to recovery mode but my only options are alt-w and alt-s. i've tried wiping and reflashing with the same spl img and it's not resolving anything.
Ok so I did the 1 click root and flashed the newest cyanogen mod and then put the enoch theme on, and I realized that I couldnt make any phone calls, so I tried to flash the new radio and I did the update.zip thing.
after that it showed a picture of the g1 with an arrow coming out of a box then it rebooted to the system recovery and now it says "formatting cache...."
what do I do?! im freaking out (((
Now when I reboot it gets past the "G1" screen and to the mod screen then it just goes to a black screen.
HELP ME SOMEONE!
Also since using the 1 click root method, Do I need to flash a new SPL and Radio?
if so, which are the newest?
Ummm. That's normal
It's normal for it to stay at a black screen!?
For awhile, if it takes longer than 5 mins, just pull the battery out and reboot, if still hangs just wipe and reflash your rom
ok ok cool
im reflashing the radio, how long should it say "formatting cache"
Normaly just a minute, up to 5, I just did the one click root for a guy yesterday and when I flash the hard spl for him and it hung for 10 so I just reboot and it was fine
Do I need to flash the SPL first before the radio?
No, you do not have to, if upgrade to the danger spl, than radio first, and your not making calls issuse was prob on account of the theme and not the radio, so reflash rom
I just wiped the phone and it just loads too the android screen and then to black
idk what to do
Did you wipe and before you ask, wiping does not wipe your radio or spl, they are lower in the system, so wipe, and flash rom
how do I re flash the rom?
I cant hook my phone up to the USB to put the rom file back on
How do I flash the rom if I cant mount my phone to the USB to put the rom file on it
Go to your recovery options list, goto in the console, hit enter when it comes on, than type ums_enable to mount your phone, put rom on, type ums_disable to unmount then typ reboot
You are my god!
10 billion thank you's!
What should I do after I re flash the rom, should I try to flash the radio and SPL then put a theme one?
Enjoy your phone, that' all, you only have to upgrade to the danger spl if you want to use a hero rom or jac's xrom, if not you do not need to upgrade the spl
One last question, How do I fix the problem with the enoch theme
When I put it on my phone it wouldnt let me make calls and it make my MMS service force close
It might be an issuse with your theme, try another one. Another important console command is fix_permissions whenever you get force closes or when you wipe, it fixes the ids of your apps, mostly paid ones
Ok cool, I really liked that them but its not worth that scare again.
Thank you soo much, I would have been so lost without the help.
No problem, just read up, learn more about how android works, than help the next person
I'm new to this whole flashing custom ROMS business. I have a CDMA HTC Hero 2000 and I downgraded to the original 2.1 before the update just fine, rooted my phone just fine. Then I tried to flash Aloysius to it using instructions I found here: [Complete Guide] How To Flash A Custom ROM To Your Android Phone With ROM Manager + Full Backup & Restore | Android News, Reviews, Applications, Games, Phones, Devices, Tips, Mods, Videos, Podcasts - Android Police
After all was said and done, my phone starts to boot with the "HTC quitely brilliant" logo, following by "SPRINT the Now network" logo and after it shows "Now" for many seconds (as it normally does before pulling up the home screen), it reverts back to the HTC logo and repeats this process until I remove the battery.
I removed the microSD and attempted to boot, same thing. Then I held down HOME+BACK+POWER to do a manual hard reset, this took a little longer but again had the same result.
I may just cry now. Please help!!
Run the official sprint ruu, and see what that does for u. Then read the rooting guide here on xda and try it. I personally recommend amon ra recovery to flash roms, rom manger never seemed to work right. Feel free to pm for more help, dont worry u prob arent bricked unless u flashed a gsm rom (which aloysius isn't)
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
That's a bootloop not a brick You could try downloading a different rom and flashing it in recovery, nandroid restoring - if you made one, or flashing the same rom again. just wipe your phone before (data/cache/dalvik)
Didn't get a chance to get on here until now but I fixed it last night.
I did this by going back into reboot recovery mode (by pressing HOME and POWER), going to partition settings, COMPLETELY wiping everything on the sd card, mounting the USB and dragging a new ROM .zip file onto it. (I tired this twice without completely wiping and the phone continued to have problems booting.
The flash worked fine that time and all has been well. Turns out the first one I was trying to apply to it was just an upgrade.
Thanks everyone for your help, makes perfect sense now.

Four key words to remember when trying out any new rom
Nandroid is your friend!
additionally, you should always remember to wipe before loading a new rom!
Enjoy!
Yeah, don't ever panic, that was, as everyone said, a bootloop by textbook definition. I've never seen a brick before, but I'm damn sure it won't get as far as the Sprint logo. The only way to brick a CDMA Hero is to flash a GSM Radio/Bootloader to it.
Hello guys I have a new problem...
Yesterday I bought a cheap T-Mobile G1 as a replacement for my HTC Sensation. It was rooted and it had a "official pershoot sapphire'' or something rom. I wasnt fully satisfied with it so I wanted to flash a Sense Rom. So I Dled Sense_LX2.7 and flashed it through the recovery after wiping the cache, battery and dalvik and stuff. i thought this would be good enough cause this was the way I used to do it with my HTC Hero a couple months ago and that always worked. But now after flashing the rom, it stucks at the T-Mobile G1 bootscreen. Flashing another rom wont work. What am I doing wrong guys?
check ur radio and spl versions???
all the roms here have these warnings....which versions would support it....
check that by turning off the device, press camera+power....
SenseXL use these SPL/radio
This rom should be used with 2708/2825 + 1.33.0013/0013d(Recommended)

From the sound of your problem. You do not have the correct SPL/radio. As alokated said. Check your SPL/radio. Then flash them using ezTerry process.
and make sure to wipe everything before flashing another rom....
G1 freezed at white screen!
Hi all,
I really need a help here. I have a G1 rooted with CM rom ver5. it was working fine since 3 months but suddenly now the phone doesnt boots up, it goes to white screen with 3 droid skaters and highlight on Hboot. It is freezed then and nothing can be done. I removed battery and tried booting by home + power ; camera+power etc etc . nothing happens it goes to that screen only. i have amons recovery and also nand backups in sd card. but the system doesnt let me go any where!! Please help......
First I have searched and searched and can't find anything similar to my problem.
G1
CM 5.0.8
RA 1.7
DangerSPL
I had cm5 running on my phone just fine for the last month or so and today my battery was about to die so I shut my phone off and when I went to turn it back on it sticks on the G1 boot screen. I can boot into recovery and fastboot but it will not but past the first boot screen. Is this something I did? Is there a way to fix it without starting scratch?
Did you backup your ROM? If yes, try restoring it.
I just re-flashed the ROM and it works fine. But I did a wipe and my screen saver is the same and google apps is still installed? Is that supposed to be like that after a wipe?
When you re-flashed your ROM and you did not do a full wipe of your data everything stay.
I did do a full wipe, catch, and everything and just flashed CM5 not the G-apps flash and I still have it along with the wallpaper being the same don't really know if this is relevant to the ROM but as far as I know when you wipe it puts the phone back to factory besides the recovery, radio, and SPL. Google apps can't be a part of the ROM either so I'm actually confused.
Oh and I re-partitioned my SD as well before the wipe so I pretty much started fresh but in all reality I didn't?
sometimes google backs everything up so when you re-flash to anything with same firmware as your last rom, and once you sign into google it will automatically install apps you previosly had and restore some settings such as Backgrounds and stuff... since you flashed the same exact rom, im assuming once you signed into google it just had your previous settings saved and restored it like a good friend would
HAHA made me chuckle! Thanks for the help guys! Glad to know google is my good friend! Still confused on why it just crashed like that :/ but as long as it's fixed is all that counts and not bricked
Hmmm.. When I did a full wipe of mine and flashed a new android version, I had to re-install all again!!!! and some of my data was also lost

Sorry for bad news, but I suppose you created a brick, i.e. there is no chance to re-animate your phone except with JTAG ...
can he still flash an nbh file? maybe try the orange nbh to re-flash via fastboot? or will it not let him do that because he has wrong/stock software installed?
Yep. No fastboot after Power+Cam. Sounded like a bad news brick indeed.
