Major Problem...

My system locked whilst flashing the CE rom.....
now i have a completely dead pda.. how do i recover from this?
:shock:

nobody ? any ideas at all? or is my xda going back under warranty?
help!!

reboot
If you reboot your pc, and leave the BA in the cradle, and then just execute the updater (romflasher) again, it works fine!

the BA just sits there.. no lights.. no nothing.
if you remove and reseat in the cradel you get the briefest flash of red on the right hand light. then nothing. screen is blank. hard or soft reset do nothing?
pc just says it cannot find pda when you try to update?

i assume its screwed then.

not nessaserily, try to get into bootloader mode....... i think its power button, camera button and soft reset button, tho someone please correct me if im wrong, if you can get into bootloader, then your device is ok, i aint sure how to get out of bootloader after this, but this happened to me when i tried to install windows mobile 2005 on my BA, lol, before i knew it didnt work, obviously, lol, if you open up active sync, click on file and connection settings, untick, allow usb connection, and try to do the upgrade again, but first after you untick that box, and clicked ok, you need to do a hard reset then put it in the cradle. then after you try and upgrade again, this worked for me, try this and let us know if you still cannot do it.... 8)

I've flashed my XDA, XDAII and MDAIII many times. Ocassionally, something has gone wrong, but I've always been able to recover the situation. But I've just tried to reflashed 1.40 and the PC crashed at 55% and now I'm in the same boat as you. I've tried all the tricks and it is completely dead. Fortunately a new one arrives in the morning.
I think you'll also have to swap your phone. If it won't go into bootloader, it's dead.

thing is, i think the warranty is void if you play around with upgrading and screw up,
im always happy to help someone fix it, as i done it many times with my own, and fixed other pda's too...... 8)

wont go into bootloader mode..
8-(

U shdn't have removed it from cradle.....See if u get a sound in yr PC when u place your device in the cradle.If yes rthen it is detected...

FFelan,
Last ditch, pull the battery off, and allow the backup battery to fully drain. (60+ minutes). Then put the battery back in, and see if you can get it into boot loader mode using the manual method discribed above.

G1 possibly bricked; stuck in recovery console [researched]

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

[Q] [SOLVED] Boot looped, Can't use Recovery mode..

Hi everyone.. after hours and hours of reading and studying on this website I really got myself into a mess and I just can't seem to climb out of it.. I desperately need some grade A help..
To be descriptive, I was trying to flash Serendipity 7, I was following the steps, used odin 3 1.7, I put all the files where they needed be, and followed it down to a tee, I pressed start, and then my phone goes into a boot loop... So I google around to look for solutions, and I thought I found one, well after I flash this "P-SBL.tar.md5" some tar file that is meant to fix the 3 button recovery mode issue. (Basically my cappy can't select anything in recovery mode due to it not having a "ok" button..) So I try it.. and not my recovery mode is littered with multi colored lines.. and I can't seem to get them to go away.
If anyone can help me I would forever be in your debt.. I would be happy just to go back to stock 2.2 if possible.. or perhaps advice on getting serendipity 7 to work.
I could make it happen if only I could get my recovery mode to work. D:
Please anyone help, I'm in dire need..
Thanks!

Search for "stock kb2 adam outler"
Then after you get back to stock, stay that way until you have done about 12 more hrs of research and reading. You were lucky that you didn't hard brick your phone, and you don't realize it. Don't just flash something because you"think"it will fix it. Know what you are flashing and what it will do to your phone. And you can call me an a#&h&$#if you want, but i believe most of the regular users here would agree me.

+ 100
Totally agree !!
suoh18, If....wow....whoa....dude don't be so trigger happy to flash. You were this " | " <---(that is a thin thin line by the way) to having a brick.

They need to get rid of that 3 button fix, its bricked more phones than I know, it should include both bootloaders and not just the one, I would contact Adam Outler like mrhaley said, to see if he can help, 3 button fix brick may require a jtag.

I know I was.. I was just reading what everyone was saying how easy it was.. it was my first flash and I guess it just back fired on me.. x_x
I really appreciate your help a ton, you have no clue how thankful I am.
I'm downloading what I need right now and I'm praying it works, thank you again so much.

^
Keep us posted on the end result.

I just used the program.. and it very well got my phone back on the right track. The boot looping stopped, it's back on the recovery mode that I can actually use, but after it loads it just goes to a black screen and keeps vibrating, I read that if it doesn't work the first time to check the flash bootloaders button. so I'm going to reboot one more time, then try that.
Thanks a ton guys, you really are great.
EDIT:
Which I think I need to do, because I still have a weird Galaxy S starting screen that appeared after I tried to flash serendipity.
EDIT 2:
Okay, After re-flashing the bootloaders it removed that screen that shouldn't have loaded, but I still get a black screen after the boot and nothing shows up..
I can enter and exit my recovery and download modes fine..
EDIT3:
Okay.. I went back into recovery mode and literally just wiped everything I could.. cache, user data, internal card, and after I rebooted again, viola it worked.
I'm so happy and I am seriously very appreciative. You guys are great and there has always been a reason why I respect this community so much.
Thanks again everyone that helped me, I don't know how much I can say it, but really, thank you so so so much, you are amazing.

[Q] HTC One m7_ul doesn't start

Good morning XDA participants.
I have a very big problem and I think that I converted my phone is just a paperweight.
After a lot of tries of change s-on to s-off, I was not able to do it. For some reason, I think that was a little tired and boring, I did something and now my phone doesn't load OS. Just turn on and stay on the HTC screen logo, I can enter to recovery but after try factory reset the problem continues.
Could be possible recover the phone? Or I have to forget that Will work again...it's just have 3 weeks

as long as your bootloader is unlocked and you have TWRP recovery, you can push, sideload or USB-OTG a ROM onto your phone
more detail in the Frequently Asked Question sticky page 3
if you have further questions, post back here

Could you please help me? I flashed and stock rom but seem that something is not good. My phone start but screen doesn't work.

Totally stock phone now totally broken

I like my Sprint M8 and I've avoided messing with it because I'd hate if it got bricked. It got bricked. In my pocket. Somehow. Seriously, I was using it like normal, put it in my pocket for maybe a half hour, then took it back out without having even moved from my seat and it's off. I assumed it somehow died but when I plugged it in it became obvious that wasn't the issue. It doesn't really seem to care what I do with the buttons, but eventually it'll end up in fastboot mode and nothing else. Any of the options just result in a black screen. Sometimes I get a charging screen though. HELP.

Bump

Only goes into fastboot. If I try to hit recovery or factory reset, or basically anything that goes outside of fastboot I just get a black screen. I just bought a new phone (Pixel) so it's not a big deal, but I still really like my M8 and if I can fix it I will.

I have run into that a few times with mine and Was ALWAYS able to fix it .
Its just being stubborn. If you have Fastboot you can FIX IT
Is it rooted and bootloader unlocked

It's totally stock and unrooted. I tried RUU about a thousand times, every time it gets to the rebooting into fastboot or whatever stage where it times out and fails because the phone takes minutes to turn back on and go into fastboot no matter what I do with the buttons, even if I don't touch them at all. My battery was fine, I think. Still lasted the whole day just fine. Stays on when I disconnect it.
