G1 won't turn on - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody
I have just got my T-Mobile G1 (HTC Dream). I tried installing Hebrew fonts, and the phone crashed while doing so.
Now when I try to turn it on it's stuck on the G1 screen. If I try pressing home+power I get that screen with the exclamation mark. When I press alt+W, it shows a box instead of the triangle with the exclamation mark, then reboots and to the G1 screen again.
Anybody knows what to do?
Thank you very much
Ron

needda load a new rom.. if u arent rooted u better get on the adb (command) and start workin on it..
use ravs dream recovery..

If I press alt+S while on the exclamation mark screen, it asks for an update.zip file. I tried downloading and putting it on the SDcard but it says that the verification had failed. Can anyone please get me a working update.zip file?
Thank you.

ok thats a step forwards, are you trying to root? what thread/steps are you following?
i installed it because i wanted to make somthing with the language
but now i can enter my recovery menu or skip gmail reg
when ur on the screen with the triangle and exclamation point in the middle, press "ALT + L" and see if you get options if you do then your in recovery and everything works. Just reinstall cyanogen 1.4 recovery. Im not exactly sure what your trying to do. but see if that works.
this are the options i get
alt+l- toggle log
alt+s-apply sdcard:update.zip
alt+n- wipe data/factory reset
when im trying alt+s it does nothing shold i try farctory reset and wont it delete the option of sim free?
do you even have an update.zip on your sd? I also suggest that you just boot up regularly and switch to cyanogen 1.4 recovery as its easier to do well, everything. Doing a factory reset wont delete anything on your SD, HOWEVER it wont change the current state that your in.
how
how do i switch to cyanogen 1.4 recovery
and i dont have the update.zip on my sd card

Just so you know, what you are seeing IS the recovery. As been said above, press Alt+L to show the text.
go to the developement thread, to find out how to root if you havent done that already and then look for cyanogen 1.4 recovery. In that thread it will tell you how to install the recovery.

G1 Froze at T-Mobile Screen and Cant access recovery Mode [Cyanogen]

Today I was updating my G1 from 4.199 to 5.07. Looking at this thread hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=672992, following the instructions to use Clockwork Recovery from the market. I only clicked the "flash clockwork recovery" button and rebooted and thats it.. I think that is what cause the problem but how can i fix this. I have a nandroid backup from 4.02 cyanogen build..but i dont know enable this with out recovery method (Power+ Home button when it is turning on). Thank you for reading this and all help would be greatly appreciated. it is stuck at the t-mobile portion of the boot up.
your supposed to host home+end buttons until the recovery pops up. dont let go of them!

galaxy tab 7" on a constant rrestart loop! need help guys to fix!

@ALL
I have a galaxy tab 7" which suddenly went into a restart loop after switching it on after 2 days!
the tab switches ON, then samsung logo & startup sound comes, then the swirling logo to gets past and then when the main SAMSUNG is shown on the screen it restarts continously forever!!!
if i switch OFF the device by holding the power BUTTON for 15sec it switched off and if i connect a charger to it, it shows charging and the 100% perccent charge full mark as well! but when i try to switch it on ITS THE SAME AGAIN!
Ive tried flashing the tab with the .pit and without, with all the files and a single PDA.tar file as well but nothing works! it always gives and error failed while flashing and the phone goes in to "emergency download mode" not the yellow ANDROID mode and then iam able to flash the single PDA file to it! but again after flashing the restart loops stays!
pls inform what could be the solution to fix this problem?

I'm stuck in a boot loop too. I can get it to shut off and then I hold power and volume up to boot into recovery it goes to a black screen with a horizontal line. Sometimes it just sits there other times it just keeps boot looping.
I've also tried to run "adb reboot recovery" and "adb devices" and it says there are no devices.
PLEASE HELP!

Problems with updating

Hi all. I have the virgin mobile variant, with an unlocked bootloader and stock recovery. Everytime I try to update, it downloads, reboots and starts updating, but then stops and shows the phone with a red exclamation point and then boots back into system. Any ideas on why, or how to get the update to work? Thanks.
when u get red exclamation point that is your recovery mode this is when u have to press volume up and power key at smae time for about 3 sec to get into recovery options.
It fails. Then gives: failure to map file
I had the same issue with my AT&T 626. I ended up updating with the RUU from HTC's website.
The software says it can't read my phone, though it's read by the computer itself. Thanks though.

I think I got half-brick or I don't know :S Please heeeeelp

I charged my htc one mini 2 (m8 mini) at night and in the mornig It wasn't work. My device is not rooted or not s-off, so it is factory stock. Pressing power button is not working, when i choose recovery on hboot menu, device restarts and stucks black screen and shows me red interjection mark screen, then i press volume up+power button, it says "device CW install: can not found Data". If I choose factory reset on hboot, it is being the same thing ( restarts and stucks black screen and shows me red interjection mark screen, then i press volume up+power button, it says "device CW install: can not found Data"). I don't know what to do please help Thanks a lot.

you not the first one this happens too. you phone lost all its data.
1- Send to HTC for repair (usually FREE)
2- Fix it yourself using tools provided in this forum.
Could you send me a link or the names of the tools dude ? I tried to install stock rom ruu using cmd command but it didnt work. I download the ruu zip file but i can not open with winrar. it says the file is broken or something.
[removed due insult]
If you don't have any solution shut up !! Is there anybody who can help ??
