In urgent need of help!!!

I was running cyanogen 4.0.1 and I tried to switch to the dudes cupcake rom and when I imaged the phone it said update complete but no matter what rom I image it always gets stuck on the G1 loading screen. Any ideas how to fix it?

Have you wiped?
Have you tried to restore a nandroid backup?

most likely a wiping issue

wipe it, if that doesn't solve it, then hopefully you made a backup. not really all that urgent if you had searched.

#1 rule when apply new roms -> always wipe!
#2 rule, check to make sure your spl is the one required by the rom.

#2 i do not think would matter because if he does not have the correct spl the rom will not flash. i had that happen with hero on someone elses phone where i thought i had flashed the new spl but instead of home and back to reboot i did reboot recovery from console so it wasn't writing the spl, and when i tried to flash hero it would not flash.

Wipe it.
Flash the dude's cupcake(as you said).
Personalize your phone how you like it.
Make a nandroid backup in case this happens again.
If it happens again, restore.
You'll be back to the exact same state as before.

Ok so I tried doing that for hours and it didnt work, but I finally got it to work by flashing the dreaming.nbh file. Then I turned retarded after I jailed broke my phone I tried to install the CM 3.6.8.1 and screwed my phone again..... I think I needed to flash the ota radio before I tryed to jump ahead. I tryed image the dreaming file again and it installs but I get stuck on the red blue and green screen and ideas.... I will donate..... please help!!!

before you completely fubar it, I would just start from scratch.

only a couple steps to get you back to an original safe firmware
then root, recovery, radio, spl, etc
Go slow this time, it will save you time in the end!

ok what is the splash screen is that the red green and blue and when i connect my usb what do I have to get to to type fasboot erase splash2?

dont worry about erasing the splash2, that is just a cosmetic thing (in case you are sending in your phone under warranty). Just skip over it.

Ok I am at work right now but I will try it in the morning thanks for the help can I donate to your paypal or sumthing?

no need for that, just give back to the community when you master this stuff...there will always be others in need of help!

Thank you so much for the help. ok I just tryed to flash the original slp on to my G1 but I keep gettin and error message saying
E: no signature (5 files)
E: verification failed
what do I do now?

i sent you a PM, not sure if it will help but worth a try

ok I tried it and got the same error message......
I tried flashing about 8 different rom in hope one would work but all give me the same error message the dreaming.nbh file does update but when I hit the action button I just get the rainbow screen if i take the battery out and try to power on I get the same screen sometime the dreaming.nbh file doesnt flash and I get a error on system:fail so any ideas I looked on the forums and it seemed that a couple of people had the same problem but none of them got it fixed to what I could see......

OK on the rainbow screen I get

if that at all to know

That is odd, usually after pulling out the battery or giving it the 3 finger salute it will go to the g1 screen and eventually boot up...if it never does you must have more wrong than just the flash. Might be time to send it to tmobile or htc (I recommend htc, they are awesome to deal with unlike tmobile).

One touch on cupcake 1.5 failed

hey guys, i tryed the one clik meth od here:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how...-in-one-click/
after everything, when i get to step 12 and reboot my phone (holding home and power) my phone just freezes with the rogers logo up (i need to remove battery to get back).
What can I try next to root my phone? should i first restore my back up image that i made with the program before I do anything else?
I need some help as i really need to root this phone for 2 reasons
1)apps on sd
2)Rogers locked out the touchscreen keyboard

Follow this, if you want CM keep going all the way through, if you want someone else's ROM then flash that instead of CM's.

hey, ok so my latest update is that i got myself to SPL 1.33.2005
i was able to boot into everything that was needed (power + camera) (power + home)
I am now at this step:

Hold your horses! That isn't the link I gave you to follow... You are in dangerous territory right now... what all have you done, exactly? Flashing that SPL can and will brick your phone if not done right.

I was using the link you gave me, close to the top it says to follow the linked guide for rogers phones as they are done differently(my phone is rogers)
that link leads you to:

once done that it says to go to:

OR

this first one is a relply of the second link (supposedly easyer)
LAST EDIT:
So, should i continue following
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654

Ok, carry on! As long as your reasd twice and do once you should be ok. And don't worry about the 'on' vs 'off', the big concern is what board do you have, and you have the 32b PVT, which is the one you need. I believe that 'on' 'off' is in regards to carrier lock.

like i edited, the first link guy does not have the SPL that I now have, i will be following the final link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654
When it says:
"once you are at SPL 1.33.2005 (AND ONLY THEN)
download this (it is hyperlinked)
(md5: 4a58a5702fdf899547011888d9cc066f .. sha1: 99e38e4f8798e952e67421a42e7b053ea70957b7)
extract both images wherever you'd like."
does it mean extract whereever on the sd?

I would assume extract and place on the root of the SD card based off the fact you will be doing all this from fastboot, aka the phone itself.

alright so i did that stuff, now when i boot the phone hangs at the rogers logo, what should i try.

did make a nandorid back up in the recovery menu a little while ago, how an i use it to go back? or is there another option to do something?
I can still boot into the recovery menu and camera+ power menu

Can you get into recovery? First boots take a long time as well, how long has it been hung up? But it sounds like you don't have a ROM on the device currently.

I can get into recovery, It was hung for like 4-5 minutes before i reset it. I dont think i did the fastboot stuf right, I pressed send inorder to fastboot, it said fastboot and i started typing the stuff on the link (you cannot see anything i was just typing) i then rebooted to recovery and Alt+s applyed the update (cynogen).
it is hung at the rogers screen. Can you try and translate the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654
a bit better and i can try the fast boot part again?
In the guide it says press back arrow to get inot fast boot but on my screen there is only one option for fastboot and it is the send button.

I tryed to use the update.zip file again but this time it said that it could not mount and that the directory does not exist.

It sounds like you did do the fastboot right, actually, since if you didn't it would boot up fully...
I would try this, dl this rom and put it on the root of your sd card, then boot into recovery mode and select "flash any .zip update" or whatever the exact wording is, then select the file named "dwang-v1.15" and follow the onscreen prompts. It is also probably a good idea to get your phone on a charger sometime soon, wouldn't be surprised if the battery is getting close to dead since when in fast boot and recovery and during boot up itself battery drain is pretty quick.
I truly think you did the fastboot stuff right, since when done you should have the SPL and radio, recovery, but no ROM and need to boot into recovery and flash the new ROM.
Forgot to give the link to the ROM, it is dwang's, my personal favorite and a good starting point to work from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567023

the option is apply update.zip so i should probably change the file name to that. Ill give it a go.

its still hanging on the rogers icon, weird. Perhaps i should use the nandoid backup? if you agree that that is the best option how would i do that?
another note, when i tryed to flash the rom you gave me it did not let me, game a an error about mounting and cannot find a file, I then put the recovery images back onto the sd card and the operation worked this time, it was unpackin na extracting and everything. Now it is still hung.

I would probably just nandroid at this point, yes

can ou guide me on how to do that?

Hmmmmmmm, do this for me as well, boot into boot loader (camera+power) and tell me what it says on the screen.

Stuck at G1 screen, PLEASE HELP!

Okay, so I know what everyone says, "make sure you know what you're doing before you update to Danger SPL." So I read and re-read all the forums and guides about various problems and how to avoid them and how to flash the radio and SPL, THEN after I was comfortable I decided to go for it.
So here is my issue:
I used the two sd card method. After wiping, I flashed the radio to 2.22.19.26I, then rebooted. I wiped again and flashed the SPL to 1.33.2005, took out the SD card and put the other one in. I rebooted from console (using command "reboot recovery"), wiped again, and flashed CM 4.2.10.1 and rebooted. After this final reboot it sticks at the G1 screen and doesn't do anything beyond here. I also tried reflashing everything and formatting the new SD card, then loaded the CM version with RA's USB-MS mode and flashed it. Same effect, stuck on G1 screen.
I still have access to the recovery image as well as fastboot and the screen with the androids on the scateboards (bootloader? I'm niot sure). WIth those things in mind, I don't think I have bricked anything, but of course that doesn't help the fact that I can't use the phone. Any help here would be AWESOME.

ALSO I hope a thread with an answer doesnt already exist, I did search for quite a while for a solution but couldn't find one. Thanks again to anyone who can help me out.

Just checking cause you didn't mention this step but before flashing Cyanogen 4.2.10.1 did you flash the HTC ADP image??
Have you tried flashing any other ROM's??
Since you still have recovery && bootloader you're not in a terrible position, you're not bricked, just gotta find out where you're going wrong

Snab a copy of cyanogen's rom (update.zip) and recovery image (on the forums)
Boot the phone into fastboot (power off, hold camera button and power on)
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
this should insure that you have a proper recovery image.
boot into recovery mode now (you can press the menu button to power off the device from the SPL menu, then hold the HOME button and power on the device)
Code:
adb devices
you may need to do this a couple times until it shows up, once adb reports your device is available
Code:
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push update.zip /sdcard
then press ALT+S (or select the option from the menu using your wheel)
let the rom flash.
when it's complete, reboot your device (HOME+BACK) or just use the menu again.
it should now boot.. if it takes a bit longer than usual, check if the device is active using:
Code:
adb devices
if your device is listed, see if it's actually doing something using
Code:
adb logcat
if you see a bunch of "E/" followed by text, your phone is erroring out and you may have to report back here for further assistance, if you see a bunch of "apks" and "jars" flying by, your phone is booting it's just checking signatures most likely.

ADP image? I did the steps exactly as I described them. Should I have flashed HTCs ADP image? I guess so, if thats what I did to get CM in the first place. Is that the image that puts all the Google Apps on the phone? Also, if I'm getting CM v4.2.10.1 from the website, and I'm coming from a new radio and SPL, should I have to treat it as though I'm not updating and am coming from a freshly rooted phone?
and @haykuro, I'll try that as soon as I get the time.

Before you flash Cyanogen for the first time you need to flash HTC's ADP image
Check out the Cyanogen's Wiki for a full guide on installing his rom
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
Since you've already gotten as far as getting a custom recovery skip down to the section called "File Download" and continue on, that should get you on the right track
Yes that is the image that get's you all the Google Apps
Yes after installing the 1.33.2005 SPL you have to reinstall a fresh ROM

Worked like a charm! Kinda makes me feel like an idiot though for not thinking about needing to treat it like a fresh install instead of an update, but I'm glad it worked!
Also, thanks for how quick you helped me out! I was only without my G1 for maybe 5 hours!
I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY!!!!

Man! 5 hours is 5 hours too long!

G1 Worked... Now it doesnt.

So I have this g1 sitting here for a few months- great looking phone, not a scratch on it...total virgin- no water damage or anything... a true spectacle compared to me daily driver (water damaged g1 with cm 5.07 on it... broken camera, broken wifi module <or so i am guessing since its been that way through all of the different roms ive tried... just shuts off> )
Back to the point-
This spectacle of a g1 - has but one issue... the digitizer doesn't work. No clue why- just wont respond... the g1 has been wiped so I have been stuck @ a "touch the android in its naught spot to continue" screen for a while...
Just decided today that I would try and get cm 5.07 on it... I was remembering (correct me if I am wrong) that android 2.1 didnt bother you with that "touch me" screen when you first booted it up.
So I began with a wipe through recovery- ... formated my sd to fat 32, and threw my DREAIMG.NBH (RC29) on it.
hit the boot loader (camera + power) - boots up as normal- grey screen for the update, and continued with it. Got an OK on each item down the list...looking good.
Update done- hit the power button to finish it- goes back to boot loader displaying the rainbow screen with:

So at this point its all looking great to me- I hit call + menu + power and phone begins to reboot.
But gets stuck @ the freaking tMobile G1 Screen...
I can still access the boot loader... but Ive tried 6 different downloads, re formatted the sd card 3 times, tried a second sd card... tried a copy of RC30 ... nothing works... I get stuck at the G1 screen every time.
I cannot access recovery! Just sticks at G1 screen.
What now? Is this G1 a paper weight?
THANKS!

I don't know if this works with a stock rom, but did you try to get a logcat while it hangs at the g1 screen? Might be useful...

Logcat
I cant do anything :/ Only ability I currently have is to boot the phone via fast boot with a DREAIMG.NBH or sit at a boot screen.
Is there a modified DREAIMG.NBH I should try and run?

Thread moved to Q&A.

I had a G1 refurb from HTC on which the digitizer did not work properly. No matter what ROM I installed, same problem, no accurate touch response. It was a hardware issue with the phone. I know it doesnt help with the phone hanging on boot. As far as that, it's a tough one. If you only have the stock SPL (rainbow screen) and no modded recovery, you can't do much other than use a .nbh (release key signed ROM/stock ROM) to flash a ROM. Unless there another backdoor I'm unaware of. Good luck!

CM roms need danger SPL, if you're on the "rainbow" screen - you don't have it. You shou've not run NBH because that takes away the root and brings you back to RC29. Sound's like you're out of luck on this one. However, now would be a good time to swap out that digitizer for the one out of "mother-of-all-problems" phone.
Good luck.

danger
I know CM roms need Danger- but at the point I was at I had no way of flashing danger, I needed to first root the phone... the way I have rooted all my G1's was using RC29 first (DREAIMG.NBH) and then using the "type anywhere" exploit to give the phone root administrative rights.
After that i load up a good recovery image, do a nandroid back up etc etc...
Im just not sure why it just died half way through the process- its strange that I can still access the stock boot loader and flash an image but yet nothing happens.
Is it possible for me to flash an image OTHER than RC29- and where could I access that image download?

That all sounds like it should be working but I would try one more thing. You say you have a second G1. I would try formating the sd card in that phone. It may make a difference. If that does not work you may want to search this forum for "gold card" instructions.
Good luck.

HTC Dream Boot Issues

Hello. I am new to the Android scene, just came over from the iPhone scene. Sooo. i got my Android G1 today and it came with Super D firmware, if i remember correctly it was 1.6. I wanted to go back to stock, so i downloaded the stock firmware and placed it in the root of a freshly formatted 4gb SDHC card. It installed and then prompted for reboot. I rebooted and i have left the phone on trying to get it to boot into OS but to no avail. I tried booting to recovery screen but i didnt get any menu and had to key alt+l in my keyboard. I did a wipe and rebooted. Still couldn't boot up. Holding the Camera and power button gives me this :

Any ideas?
EDIT: Just realized for god's sake, i flashed the RC29 firmware when i was supposed to flash the RC7 one. F***. Now i need to find a way to flash back. Any ideas?

First thing to do is read everything two times... including the FAQs... too many noobs have bricked their devices... Thus dettering them and anyone they talk to from committing to Android... Take your time research and watch a vid first...

Nah, i just screwed up. Didnt know why i went to flash RC29 anyway. Gonna get a goldcard tomorrow with the help of someone. Then i can get pass the error of flashing another firmware.

Okay, so i got a gold card and reflashed the RC7 image and it booted. Done everything including rooting but i cant install the radio as i cant get into recovery. If i hold home + power button i will boot into fastboot mode. Why.
Apparently telnet wasnt flashing the img file properly.
EDIT: Now getting stuck at the Nexus One X Android Screen in a loop.
EDIT 2: Did a reboot. Now all is good. ^_^
