Boot problem - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I followed all the rooting steps did the radio first and all that jazz then chose a rom, Got it loaded up on my g1 but when I reboot it just hangs at the t-mobile g1 screen for.....well, Ever. Help? Please and thank you.

turn off phone
hold home and power, you should be at the recovery menu. wipe and flash a new ROM
if you fail to get this screen, turn off, hold camera and power. you should see 3 skating androids, tell us which radio and SPL you are using
if you fail to get this screen also, i'm guessing you flashed haykuro's SPL before upgrading the radio, and have a very fasionable paperweight

Stuck at loading screen..

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.

Help My G1 Has Gone Crazy

I have a rooted G1 I was using Enomther's HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 ROM And Cyanogen's 1.4 recovery image....when all of a sudden while i was trying to text on the slide out keyboard only the letter E,F, and D would work so i tried rebooting my phone...it stayed stuck at the G1 screen and kept rebooting itself I took out the battery and tried to boot in recovery and did when I tried wiping the phone it would not let me press the home key to confirm the wipe...so i just rebooted from the recovery screen the phone turned on but it did not load any of my widgets and said safe mood at the bottom left hand corner and only the power button worked on the phone.....so i put the DREAIMG.nbg file on my sd card And Booted W/ Camera +power and it got to the screen but when prompted to press the power button to perform the reboot it would not do anything so I took out the battery again and now everytime i try turning on the phone even in recovery it just keeps rebooting at the G1 screen then after like 10 minutes it turns off.....Anybody Think The Can Help?
which spl are you using? You could use fastboot to flash a nandroid backup from before you're issues started.
Not Sure Never Flashed Any ROMS That Require The New SPL Did Not Want To Brick My Phone...SO I Am Still Using The Hard SPL I Flashed When I Rooted My Phone
If you're using the HardSPL you should be able to use fastboot, you'll also have to have fastboot setup on your computer, you can check out this thread for some good info on that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
also you'll have to have a nandroid backup from before you're issues started, I can provide you with a link if you need some good back up files
My Phone Won't Load Into Fastboot It Does The Same Thing Just Stays At The G1 Screen And Then Turns Off
your first post said that you were able to boot you're phone using camera+power ?????
Yea I Was Able Too Once Just Like The Recovery But Now It Doesn't Load Anything It Just Keeps Rebooting After The G1 Screen
do you have adb installed?
Sounds like a hardware problem, maybe some buttons are stuck.

G1 bricked, please help

Hello, I got hold of an HTC G1 but it seems like it's bricked. When I turn on the phone it shows the T-Mobile G1 screen then boots into recovery every time, even though I never press the home button. Looks like this phone boots into hboot by holding the return button instead of the photo one, is that normal? I tried restoring the phone with the DREAIMG.nbh but when it instructs me to press the send button or any other key to cancel nothing happens. When I am in the recovery mode the keys seem to work as I can alt+s and alt+w. Is there some way I can fix this or might this be a bad keys/buttons case?
Thanks for reading.
Is it rooted? If so, try Flashing a ROM?
I don't think it's rooted, I have the official recovery img.
Redownload a new copy of the DREAIMG.img from another reliable source. I recall downloading one that was corrupt when I first rooted my phone and it gave me a few days of trouble. Try reflashing from there.

[Q] HELP! i think i bricked my g1

whatsup guys, so i am rooting my g1, (got a new one from insurance so i can resell it)
i updated radio, to the one that ends with .22
and flashed spl, it told me to reboot, so i rebooted, it looked normal but it was at the g1 splash screen for ever, so i took out the battery, now i can't get into recovery with home+power or by holding camer+power.
when i do try it just sends me to the g1 splash screen....
does this mean it's bricked? what should i do?
Assuming you have non-stock recovery:
First of all, pull out battery. Wait 5 Sec. Put it back in.
Press and hold Home button. Press Power. Keep holding home button. You should be able to boot into recovery.
For SPL, Do the same, and hold camera before powering.
Flashing radio&spl via recovery is risky..
no luck, when i try to do that it just hangs at the g1 splash screen for ever...

Welcome to your new paperweight. Only options are jtag or swap out the board.
Next time could you put questions in the Q&A section please? Thanks.

[Q] G1 gets to recovery but not hboot

Hey guys,
I am able to get into recovery (anon RA) but the camera down button + power is not working for going into fastboot screen so I can find out which Radio and SPL is on there.
When I wipe and try to install a ROM it gets stuck on the T-mobile G1 screen. Is the phone bricked? Any way to fix it?
Thanks.
