Stuck @ T-mobile G1 Screen - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really need help! Ok so here's the deal: I flashed the new RA-dream v1.3.2 recovery this morning and coming from MLIGN 3.0 Hero I wiped EVERYTHING the recovery allowed me to: data + cache, Dalvik-cache, battery stats? and rotate settings along with repartitioning my sd card. After that I wanted to go back to Cyanogen's 4.2.3.1 so I wiped but it now won't go past the Tmobile G1 Screen! I've tried everything, including flashing other Rom's wiping partitioning again, letting it stay at the screen for and hour! all in all I can't get past it, but I can get to recovery.. did I do something wrong? any help would be great cause till then, I'm phoneless

when you do an adb logcat, are you seeing a restart loop?

first boot into bootloader(camera and home) and see if you have a white screen with 3 skating androids.
if you do then you have the hard spl.
sometimes when you flash a spl it will wipe your phone.
if you do have the hard spl just go ahead and flash whatever rom you want to use.
if you don't have a card reader go into the recovery console and type ums_enable to mount your sdcard and put the rom on your sdcard then type ums_disable to unmount the sdcard, then finally type reboot recovery and when it boots up flash your rom.
That did it David just uploaded CM 4.0.4 and its up and running. You have been alot of help tonight, kick you a little something for your help...
wait , you push alt-s, are you still using the orignal recovery, do yourself a favor and flash cm recovery 1.4, nandroid backup and restore, flash any zip.

thank you very much
Thanks!!
I was having the same issue... ( I have the pimped recovery as well)
The first couple times I tried, I was getting no changes to the spl...
I tried one more time, wiped to be sure, proceeded to install spl
I then made it to same point, "formatting cache..."
I decided to start the reboot process and quickly pressed
"cam + power" when the screen went black and BAM,
got the 3 skateboarding androids
and it says "HSPL 10.95.3000"
I then reinstalled latest Cyan, and partitioned the sdcard with sdparted.txt
8gig Class 6 (100MB Swap, 1024MB ext4, 6893 Fat32)
Rebooted and
Thx!!
I am trying to unroot my friend's G1... I found a tutorial on XDA (link) and it worked fine without any problems on my phone, however when I go into recovery mode (CyanogenMod v1.4+JF) and I hit Alt+S, it starts to install the update.zip and it reboots and starts up in recovery and gets stuck on Formatting CACHE:... I've let it sit for quite a while and still nothing. I can reboot the phone, but it just starts back up in the rooted mod. When I start into the bootloader (camera+power), it's not the three android's on skateboard, it's the colored screen, and it doesn't give me the option to install DREAIMG.nbh file. I'm not quite sure what to do, especially since I had absolutely no problem testing this tutorial on my own phone.
EDIT: I figured out that the bootloader is downgraded and working. Now when I load the bootloader, it goes to the grey screen and says Loading... No image found! I have searched the forums and google for a solution to this program and so far nothing I've found is working. I've reformatted my SD card many times to FAT32, as well as redownloaded the DREAIMG.nbh file... Any help would be great!
EDIT 2: I'm not sure what the problem was or what I did to get it to work, but after formatting over and over and downloading and redownloading, and trying different SD cards, it finally started to work.
Ok. I have done everything that was suggested up above. I also get the 3 android skateboarders and I have tried to install the new
[ROM] CyanogenMod - Keeping You Legal For Less (STABLE) [UPDATED 10/31 - v4.2.3.1]
Which installs just fine. But then I reboot the device and it continues to be stuck on the G1 Splash Screen.
I can verify that I updated the Radio first and confrimed it was updated then updated the SPL and got formatting cache and waited like 15 mins and then now I am stuck.
So I what david1171 suggested and still nothing.
Any suggestions would be nice.
Thanks

those aren't themes, they're roms
Hmmm. Without a data plan, you haven't gotten past the initial setup wizard since the downgrade, have you?
You'll need to bypass that first.
Try the instructions in this post:

You have to get past that setup wizard to be able to unroot using the telnetd hack, IIRC.

G1 Won't boot after wipe. (Black screen)

Recently I wiped my G1 because it became so slow, after I wiped it I just pressed back and reboot it, the it boots to T-mobile and then Theme screen, after a while it just stuck on the black screen and won't boot to Home, and the battery became warm, I need to pull out the battery to turn it off.
What should I do here now??
Thanks for any replies
you needed to wipe davlik-cache not the whole phone. wiping the whole phone will break the rom youre running. u need to reflash a rom in order to get your phone to work properly.,
That's the problem... --'
Thanks Brian. Glad I backed up my Rom with nandroid backup.
I'll remember that next time.

Reset Issue

Hi guys I wanted to go ahead and reload a different ROM. I had purehero 2.1 MOC (maps-oced) but I heard that the nonclocked version has better stability with wi-fi. I went ahead and tried to downgrade the rom without wiping and everything booted up fine. However wi-fi tethering was still not working I kept getting an error about unable to start wifi tethering etc. I went ahead and tried many roms (pure hero/alysious) all that wouldn't require wipe. I still kept getting same error. I went ahead and went to recovery I did a factory wipe/loaded rom and it just stays on the nexus X cross as if it's trying to boot but it doesn't it just keeps recyling over and over again. I went back to recovery and wiped data/factory and also dalvik cache ( i have a2sd enabled) then retried loading rom and same thing. I'm at the moment of wiping all mentioned plus eXt2 and reloading rom AGAIn. I hope this time it boots up.
Will something in my SD card possibly have my phone acting up the way it is? If so what solutions do u guys suggest? I hope after doing the last step I mentioned I can FINALLY log into my phone. At the moment i'm unable to do so. My aim name is crown510. If any of u can assist me I would appreciate it. Thank you!

[Q] G1 Stuck on boot

First I have searched and searched and can't find anything similar to my problem.
G1
CM 5.0.8
RA 1.7
DangerSPL
I had cm5 running on my phone just fine for the last month or so and today my battery was about to die so I shut my phone off and when I went to turn it back on it sticks on the G1 boot screen. I can boot into recovery and fastboot but it will not but past the first boot screen. Is this something I did? Is there a way to fix it without starting scratch?
Did you backup your ROM? If yes, try restoring it.
I just re-flashed the ROM and it works fine. But I did a wipe and my screen saver is the same and google apps is still installed? Is that supposed to be like that after a wipe?
When you re-flashed your ROM and you did not do a full wipe of your data everything stay.
I did do a full wipe, catch, and everything and just flashed CM5 not the G-apps flash and I still have it along with the wallpaper being the same don't really know if this is relevant to the ROM but as far as I know when you wipe it puts the phone back to factory besides the recovery, radio, and SPL. Google apps can't be a part of the ROM either so I'm actually confused.
Oh and I re-partitioned my SD as well before the wipe so I pretty much started fresh but in all reality I didn't?
sometimes google backs everything up so when you re-flash to anything with same firmware as your last rom, and once you sign into google it will automatically install apps you previosly had and restore some settings such as Backgrounds and stuff... since you flashed the same exact rom, im assuming once you signed into google it just had your previous settings saved and restored it like a good friend would
HAHA made me chuckle! Thanks for the help guys! Glad to know google is my good friend! Still confused on why it just crashed like that :/ but as long as it's fixed is all that counts and not bricked
Hmmm.. When I did a full wipe of mine and flashed a new android version, I had to re-install all again!!!! and some of my data was also lost

Sorry for bad news, but I suppose you created a brick, i.e. there is no chance to re-animate your phone except with JTAG ...
can he still flash an nbh file? maybe try the orange nbh to re-flash via fastboot? or will it not let him do that because he has wrong/stock software installed?
Yep. No fastboot after Power+Cam. Sounded like a bad news brick indeed.
