help! g1 stuck at loading screen

hey guys,
My g1 is stuck at the TMOBILE g1 screen.
i loaded this theme.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541841
and it worked great but then i saw this theme and liked it better
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520629
so i loaded it just like i loaded the first one. but it got stuck at the Tmobile g1 screen. so i tried to re load the other theme and its doing the same thing. i tried wiping by booting into Home+power button. but its still doing the same thing. can anyone help me out?? thanks.

What rom are you running? The first is for CM and the second one won't work on the newer CM roms. What you will prolly need to do is reflash the rom you want then make sure the theme you are flashing will work with the rom.

^ If this does not work, check your SPL and repetition your SDcard. Then go through the process for a fresh install of your htc rom. good luck

Uhm No, He said it worked fine with the first theme, for a cyan rom. His SPL has zilch to do with this unless it is a Hero rom/theme. But it is not, it is a theme for a older cyan rom. Repartition is the word i think you meant to use, and what is a "htc rom"? Don't get someone confused with bad advice please, we have enough problems in the Dream forums already.
And to help the OP, see what rom the theme you want to use is made for. And if is just the theme or the entire rom, as some themes are. If it is a small size like 10-20mb then it is just the theme in which case you want to get the rom it is made for and flash it (step 1 get it onto your sd and rename it update.zip, go into recovery and wipe, then flash the update.zip, reboot and go through the initial setup step get the theme onto your sd and rename it update.zip DONT WIPE!!! then flash update.zip). If it is the full rom+theme then you only need to go through step 1. Hope this helps with your troubles.

I looked this problem up on google and it brought me to this page. I am running CyanogenMod and tried to use this theme (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541242). Now I am stuck at the "T-Mobile G1" loading screen. I tried taking out the battery. Doing a "wipe data/factory reset" and restoring the latest backup. Nada. I'm very frustrated. What can I do? (Also big thanks to everyone in this community who help make this phone so great)

What version of CyanogenMod are you running? You should make sure you have the newest which is 4.0.3.1, so what you need to do is wipe, flash cyanmod 4.0.3.1, make sure you download the correct version of that theme here is the link and flash it. Just make sure you DO NOT wipe before flashing the theme. You should be all set after. PM me if you need more help.

How many people are going to have to ask you lol...? We want to help but you gotta tell us what CM version you have.

Flashing is changing the rom. You can find roms in the android development forum. I would suggest you use cyanogen mod 4.0.4 and then goto the themes and wallpapers forum and find one that works with it.
First thing you need to do is download the cyanogen mod 4.0.4 rom from android development forum. Put it on your sd card (if you cant boot up your g1 then goto recovery (home+power) and then goto console, hit enter, then type ums_enable and hit enter then you can plug it into your computer and load the cyanogen 4.0.4, rename it to update then on your phone type ums_disable and hit enter) then unplug your phone and type recovery and hit enter. Now hit wipe and after its done hit apply update, when its done reboot your phone. It will take 5-10 mins to boot up and after you go the the initial setup you can plug it into your computer and put the theme you choose on the sd card, delete the cyanogen mod (update.zip) then rename the theme to update and reboot your phone into recovery, hit apply update and after its done reboot your phone and it will take awhile again. If you do it all right your theme will be applied and you will be all good.

Ha this is going to sound funny but no one has mentioned it yet and I know there are some impatient people out there.
Are you waiting at the G1 screen for at least 15 mins? After a flash it can take upto 15 mins on the G1 screen to boot.

my friend went from JACxHERO 1.5, CRC1 build ROM with partitioned sdcard and he wanted to flash to MoCaDo's newest build; and everytime the G1 screen comes up, it goes away and just keeps starting over... over and over.
Can someone please help??

Help Me.

Nothing found using search.
I cant get into [Home+Power] stays at G1 screen. Other then that it does power up and go into phone. and [Power+Camera] works. Any help how to fix this ?

you probably need to reflash your recovery image. the thing that sucks is that the recovery image links are down so if you don't have a copy of it, well you can imagine....

Can you give me a link to one ? And tell me how to reflash ?
And BTW , you seem to always be there , big thanks man.

yeah, seems like you'll need to reflash the recovery.
I actually have a saved copy of the 1.4 recovery, if you give me your email i can send to you. the instructions to install it are on the original thread, here.

For the past 1hrs ive been trying to get my phone to work. I installed cynogens recovery image 1.4 and after that tryed installing a theme and got a black screen i then notice it was because i didnt remove the icons b4 this. I was stuck cause i didnt have an sdcard reader so ive been using my cousin LG phone to transfer my data to the sdcard. So i tryed re-flashing the rom (Cynogen 4.0.4) with wip. Still got the black screen. Tryed a new rom (JACxHEROSki-v2.1) with wip , goes pass the G1 screen to the aqua blue cynogen android scate board screen to the black screen. Help ?
MOD EDIT
if you have a ? please give a hint in the title to what it is.

you might want to avoid constantly opening new threads, especially one that just has "?" in the subject; this one might get closed.
if your sdcard is partitioned correctly for cyanogenmod (ext2/ext3 - fat32) then you'll probably need to wipe the ext2/ext3 partition and wipe then reflash the rom. I haven't gone to a HERO rom yes myself, so i'm not sure if there is another step involved for that.

Ive never partitioned for Cynogen i have a clean 1g no partitions. Its always worked for me.

Im assuming that you didnt create a nandroid backup when you installed the recovery image? and let's both assume since you had Cyan running before that you have the correct Radio and SPL images.
ok, if you have no partitions we can skip a couple of steps.. try this, connect your phone to youe PC, boot into recovery with Home & Power and type the following commands.
alt&X to enter console
push enter
ums_enable
this will mount your sd and open it on your PC so you can verify that you have the correct update.zip on the root of your SD.
ums_disable
reboot recovery
alt&W
alt&S
If you are going to start flashing roms you really want to consider getting a bigger SD card, my nandroid backup is like, 900mb and without that it's kinda like playing russian roulette with your phone. I hope this helps.

You can go in the nandroid folder and delete old backups, folder names have dates. You can also store all of the folders and put them on your sdcard as needed, Nandroid only uses the one with the newest date anyways.

You Flashed this rom and it was working fine right?...except market....to get the market you have to flash google addon,
When you try to change this what have you done, have you tried flashing something or just try to go into recovery and you are not able to go in...

yeah i did trying the basic one it had on it 1.6 or soemthing but nothing worked and after that ir wouldnt get in to recovery mode

If you cannot get into the bootloader (camera + power) or recovery (home + power), and the phone is not detected via ADB on your computer (adb devices), then your phone is bricked.
You will need JTAG equipment to unbrick it, search around the forums, there are many threads dedicated to this.

[Q] [i9000] cyanobricked

Hi there,
I noticed I can't get in download mode anymore. Whatever I try it won't show the yellow triangular download sign. It just boots into cyanogen.
I have tried the 3 button trick but recovery nor download works. That's when I had the idea to apply the 3-button fix. adb reboot recovery brings me in the cwm recovery mode. adb reboot download just reboots the phone. I even tried the 300k ohm jig which always seemed to work as a failsafe. That also just boots the phone into cm.
I have checked with my brother who also runs CM nightly 101 and for him the download mode works fine so it is my phone, not CM.
The phone works fine now, is rooted too so I wondered if there's any way to fix this by rewriting the bootloaders. I want to have this fixed as a failsafe is flashing ever fails or if one of the nightlies gets corrupted.
Is there anyone who can confirm the download mode is in the primary bootloader (boot.bin from a stock rom) and is it safe to just flash_image that to the boot partition or will that be a guarantee to brick. The idea is that I still have root console access so I have to fix it from there.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Tried the tricks with and without pc-usb/charger and it made no difference. The 300k ohm jig trick can't be done with power or computer connected since you have to use the usb connection on the phone for it. It usually was my ever working failsafe.
I also tried the quickboot app without any luck. It seems it is responding to the download command but the code isn't there anymore.

Hey try going into download mode by touch controls although I haven't ever used cyanogen but i assume as every custom rom has this feature cyanogen must also have this! The download mode option in quick network options when u press the power button for 2 seconds ! Although it isn't safe but you cab try this and then if it goes into download mode then their must a way to go into download mode manually!

Holding the power button for two seconds indeed brings up the profile/reboot/shutdown options. Selecting reboot only gives two additional options, reboot and recovery which do as they say. I can boot cwm recovery but from there I can't go into download mode either.

Try downloading terminal emulator and then reboot download or ADB reboot download

Tried it from the terminal with reboot download. Also tried adb reboot download long before that. It just reboots and starts. I have the feeling the piece of bootblock that's holding the download mode isn't there anymore.

There is an option in recovery to boot into download mode, Have you tried that ?
It sounds to me like that part of the bootloader is corrupt / missing.
Does the phone still work normally ? can you still continue to use it daily without the download mode option ?

The phone works fine otherwise. I just want to fix this before it stops working fine and I need the download mode.
Recovery boots into CWM-based Recovery v4.0.1.5 which I got with CM7 with no option to return to the stock recovery or download mode as far as I can see. Also zipped updates from sd-card install fine from CWM recovery mode. If I just knew where to find a cwm ready zipped bootloader that will fix this.

Thats a good idea, I think that should be made, Would save a lot of hassle...
In my recovery under 'advanced features' the option is there to reboot into android or reboot into download..
In order to go from CM7 - Stock, do you need re-partition with all 3 files ? or can you flash it through recovery ?
If so, flash it to stock and sell it to someone who has no idea about Custom ROMs / Hacking. (like me 12 months ago )
EDIT: is this issue not kernel related by any chance ?

Well I have no clue to make any package and I don't dare to flash_image some random boot.bin.
My recovery -> advanced only has reboot recovery which brings it back into recovery.
I'm afraid bringing it back to stock also needs odin/heimdall, that brings me back to the initial problem.
Selling it gives me the money for half a new phone. As long as its working fine I'd like to stick with it. My worst case scenario so far is that I'm stuck with CM7 nightly #101 for the coming 1.5 year which is annoying but far better than the slow stock samsung hands out.
The issue can't be directly kernel or CM7 related. My brother has CM7 #101 running and download mode works fine with him. (And no I can't secretly swap phones ) He doesn't know how to work with odin so I arranged everything for him. Exactly the same steps as I did my own phone. Perhaps a glitch in flashing or something.

Hmmm... tricky one to fix..
I have no more ideas i think flashing bootloaders through recovery would work like you said, But unless its a tried and tested method i wouldnt recommend it at all.
Have you posted this issue in the CM thread ? perhaps you could PM one of the Devs for assistance, or whether the whole 'flashing bootloader in recovery' idea would work at all.
You have nothing to lose by asking them.
Hope you get a solution... But until them im out of ideas.
Keep us updated if you get a fix.
Good luck man !!
EDIT: one more idea, Sounds risky but.... What if you made a nandroid backup on your brothers phone and restore it on yours ?? Thats if nandroid does back up bootloaders im not sure

Thanks for thinking with me. I'll give the nandroid solution a go if there are no other replies within a reasonable time.
I'll post the same question in the CM forum but contacting the CM devs could be hard. They don't give any official support to nightlies and I can't say I'm convinced it has anything to do with CM at all. Though they do have the knowledge to answer the question or build a package to repair it. But you're right there's nothing to lose in asking.
Ofcourse I searched the forum before posting and found out I seem to be the only one ever with this problem. The solution could be as rare so I'll keep you posted if I make any progress beside here. That's what the whole idea behind this forum is for right?

True man !!
And if you get a solution or a dev to make a flashable bootloader. It could help other people in future
Good luck. Keep us posted

Interesting but that project still needs a bricked i9000 to tear apart. I don't have a captivate. Well if it ever becomes really bricked I'll consider donating mine.
And I'm okay with handling computers (yes I consider the phone a small computer about 400 times faster than my first pc) but when actual soldering is involved I give up.

fixable?

Hi! If it still doesn't work, try downloading ROM Manager from the market and install the latest CWM. It sounds like your bootloader got modified/locked.

Interesting but that project still needs a bricked i9000 to tear apart. I don't have a captivate. Well if it ever becomes really bricked I'll consider donating mine.
And I'm okay with handling computers (yes I consider the phone a small computer about 400 times faster than my first pc) but when actual soldering is involved I give up.

Please Help Boot Loop

Ok, so i rooted my lg optimus 2x using super one click. Then i went on to to use rom manager first to backup my stock 2.2 rom, after this i downloaded the cm7 mod to my sd card. Finally i installed the rom to my phone. Now my phone is spinning around in the cyanogen mod 7 "skateboard guy". I cant get into recovery mode, or im just not doing it right. i got it to go to the android 3e recovery mode but i couldn't press anything there(if that is the correct term) PLEASE HELP, I CANT EVEN DO ANYTHING ON MY PHONE PLEASE PLEASE HELP. Im new to the android rooting, roms, and hacking so help me out, THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

Yeah you're not doing it right, Android 3e Recovery is the stock recovery, so not much good, and you're in a boot loop because you didn't wipe before flashing.
I'm guessing your Optimus 2X is a WIND one? Just that would explain why you were able to install CM without properly installing a custom recovery, as ROM Manager would use fake-flash?
If so, you should be using the T-Mobile G2X forum, as your phone is actually one of them

thank you for the reply
Is there anything i can do right now to get my phone working again.

Yes.
You need to answer my question though, do you have a WIND O2X or a 'world' O2X?
What you're going to have to do is NVFlash a new recovery, but which phone you have matters, as the partitions are different.

i have the wind o2x

Thought as much.
Do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086687
It will let you install ClockworkMod properly, so you can boot into it with Power & Vol-, at which point you do a factory reset and with any luck your phone will boot into CM7.
Also, for more accurate responses, you might want to use the G2X forum, as that's what your phone actually is
