I tried rooting my phone, I downgraded too rc29 and then tried to root it and i failed. So i tried this process here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553416
I got to these steps
ON YOUR G1
1. Put SD in the G1 - Hold CAMERA + POWER
2. Press POWER to INSTALL
3. When COMPLETE Click TRACKBALL
4. Hold GREEN + MENU + RED -> REBOOT
The install went good, Said it was successful. But after i rebooted it would not get past the G1 screen. So i tried those steps again and now the install is failing. Any ideas what to do now? Hope i didn't mess my phone up lol
"Never mind, I got RC29 back on. Had to format then run it with only the dreaming nbh file. Apparently that process wont work for me."

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.

That blows goats man, but that finger slip bricked your G1, sorry. If none of the button combos get you anywhere you need a new Dream.
i rooted my phone long ago, i was running on ADP 1.6 R83...
however, it crashed somehow...
now i want to run it on the OTA R83.....
but....
it will abort installation
- -
there's nothing wrong with verification.....
only when it is almost done with the installtion...
it will automatically abort it...
- -
what should i do with it?
thanks
If you want to un-root and go back to stock firmware, just flash DREAIMG.nbh. Copy the file to your SD card, power down, then hold in the camera button while powering up. It should find the file and say "press action button to continue" press the trackball, and let it do its thing.
Once it's complete, reboot with call+menu+end
If you can live with pre-cupcake for a few days, it'll eventually update over the air on its own.
thanks...
but i actually root this phone from the Singapore Version HTC Dream....
does that matter?
thank you!!!
haha!!
tragedy....
i'm using ATT now...i've no internet from my mobile....

stuck at the set up page
So I wasn't paying a lot of attention while I was flashing to Cyanogen ROM and accidentally hit the update.zip (google apps) before installing Cyogen Mod. I looked up and then looked down then the phone vibrated and it was rebooting.
When the phone loads it attempts to get into a setup mode which just spams a force-close for process.gaps and com.android.setupwizard.
When I hit volume down + power and go into recovery it just gives me the android logo and an exclamation point. I've tried doing clear storage and that doesn't fix the problem. I was consistently getting the Exclamation point in the recovery image from ROM Manager, but going in and flashing to the alternate and back fixed it. I just can't get into the vanilla android OS right now.
Anyone have any ideas on what I could do to get out of this loop?
PASSIMG.zip
You can try the passimg method-
1. download a stock image and rename it PASSIMG.zip
2. Place the file on the root of your sd
3. Power off your phone, then turn it on by holding VolDown and pressing Power
*It will start up in HBOOT mode and will prompt you to flash the PASSIMG.zip update
Install a custom recovery first (Amon_ra being my preferred recovery) . Then flash what you want.

This worked. Thanks for the tips! Without this forum people like me, who know only enough to be dangerous, would be totally screwed.
I was running a custom droidthorey rom and wanted to go back to stock. So I went into my recovery via cwm and wiped data, cache and divik. the went into restore and fl;ashed back to an earlier point. Everything was going fine untill I rebooted. Now I cant get away from the dual core boot up screen. Ive tried to hold the volume rockers and power button and go into my recovery from there but i guess theres nothing there cuz I wiped data. Im at work so theres not a lot I can do but I just wanted to see if anyone had an idea on what I need to do from this point.

You cant even get into fastboot?
If I hold the volume rockers it will go into the boot up menu screen
If I hold the volume rockers it will go into the boot up menu screen
when i hold both sides of the volume rocker and hit the power button it will bring me to the boot up menu screen. but if i choose recovery a little triangle with a small android pops up. I did go into fastboot and it say ok to program, but im at work so i cant really do anything here. Anyone have any other ideas?

You're stuck till you get home bro. You have to use FXZ files to get back to stock.
Follow step 1 in this guide.

When you are at the triangle with the android, hit both volume buttons to bring up the menu. From there, you can try:
Wiping data/cache again.
Reflashing a ROM by hitting "Install update from SD card"

when I do that it worked but what i flash has to be signed. I have no way to turn off verification. any signed roms out there I can install
wipe data/factory reset is the only option
Ok if you can get into fast boot i think you are ok but you have to use
R3L3AS3DRoot and 43V3R root for the BIONIC v2.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279825
follow the instructions to get back to stock with or with out root its your choice
im not really sure what these outther guys are talking about but the bootloader is locked you can only flash the stock signed rom from fastboot after that you can install bootstrap or rom manager.. let me know if this works

I cant do anything like flash in my fastboot till I get home. But i can get my android system recovery up, And I do have roms on my sd card. They will not flash though cuz I guess there not signed.
DEAD battery
i had the almost exact thing happen to me,,,, but the battery died and it wont engage charging..... so am i gonna have to get a new on or find some fast way to charge it? i cant even try any of the previous examples :/
I've heard of Verizon charging batteries for people but I've never tried it. There is a USB hack to charge batteries but you also run the risk of destroying your battery in the process. If it was me i would pick up an extra battery and charger, always nice to have.

I've been trying to get CM10 on my phone and somehow i messed everything up and now i can ONLY get into download mode.
Im trying to follow this guide to get back to stock:
I. Before You Begin
This will only work using a Windows machine.
This will only work on the T-Mobile US version and versions from outside the US. Do NOT use this on AT&T or Verizon versions.
II. Install the Drivers
Download the LG ADB Drivers and install them (if you don’t already have them installed from the rooting procedure you used).
III. Download the Necessary Files
Download the stock firmware for you specific device here and save it to your desktop (look for it in step 1 of the original post and make sure to choose the firmware file for your specific device version).
Download the LG Mobile Support Tool to your desktop, install it, and then close it once it opens automatically.
Download the FlashTool to your desktop (it’s the .zip file after clicking on that link).
IV. Unroot the LG G2
Turn off the G2 by holding down the power button and keeping it held down until the screen goes black, then continue to hold it for a few seconds after it goes black to make sure it shut down.
Plug the G2 into the computer via the USB cable while holding Volume Up at the same time to put it into download mode.
Right-click the FlashTool .zip file and select Extract All.
Double-click UpTestEX.exe from inside the newly extracted folder.
In the R&D Test Tool window, select the following for each option listed:
Select Type – 3GQCT
PhoneMode – DIAG
Select KDZ file – Click this and select the .kdz file we downloaded in the previous section.
Click Normal web upgrade test.
Click Upgrade Start in the new popup window that appears.
Select Republic of Korea and English for the Country and Language window that appears after that.
Click OK.
When it finished flashing and is all done, turn off the phone and then turn it back on by holding down Power and Volume Down until a screen comes up.
Select Reset (this will finish erasing everything off the device and bringing it back to stock).

Have you tried updating the united device drivers?

Do you still have a custom recovery? This happened to me, the same thing actually!
What I had to do was hold Volume Down and Power button until the LG logo shows up, then release ONLY the Power button while still holding the Volume Down button, then press the Power button again.
Or if this doesn't work,
Turn off phone, then when off, hold down power and volume down button until it reaches the LG logo and then release both buttons and hold it down again.
You will see a screen that says something like: Hard reset/ factory reset. Just follow the steps stated on screen until it boots you into recovery.
For me it took me to my recovery screen, where I just flashed a older ROM onto it. I then later flashed a recovery file.
It does take me a few times to get into that.
If that doesn't work, I don't know.
Thank you,
Stephen

Praise Jesus for this...I about had a heart attack. I have been rooting and installing custom ROMs since the G1...never had any issues. Was in a boot loop and could not get back into recovery for anything.
Nothing!
I rooted then attempted to installl TWRP... the phone turned off then turned on with the android ! icon... it shut off a few mins later. Now, all I get is the buzz and a black screen. LG Mobile Support Tool nor my computer will even recognize the device. Am I truly bricked beyond repair?
