So i just updated to an SPL for a Hero ROM, and now i'm stuck on the t-mobile G1 screen, i can get to the console, but if someone can walk me through how to mount the SD card using ADB (from the very begining) it would be a great help. This way i can try to update the firmware, or resort back to the original radio/spl/firmware. I need a very easy to understand set of instructions, because every time i have tried to do something with ADB it never goes well.
all you need to do is re-flash your current rom your using no wipe needed.
Whats the command to do that, i've been trying to load the new ROM onto the SD card through the command prompt. and it doesn't seem to want to work.
Bassicly i use the adb push command to try and shove a ROM on to the SD card like this
adb push JAChero2.0r6.zip /sdcard/JACHero2.0r6.zip
and then i change the name to update.zip and it still applies the OLD SPL update.zip file i have in there.
Try removing the old update file first through the adb shell. I have run into a couple instances where it is doing what you are describing. I always found that removing the current file first will resolve it.
adb shell
# rm /sdcard/update.zip
# exit
adb push JAChero2.0r6.zip /sdcard/update.zip
Then try to flash the update through recovery.
Got it fixed, THANKS!
im stuck at g1 screen as well....what did you do to fix this?
Im stuck on G1 boot screen, cannot get into FBOOT or anything!
What can I do??
if none of the button combos work like home+power or camera+power or any others then you can either call tmobile and play dumb or have the sweetest paperweight at the office.

Will it cost me if I contact tmo?
I'll play it dumb, but when the phone ends up at some engineer, and they see what I've flashed on, will they just fix it, or report it to tmo? (as i've broken the t&c's!)
As much as having a paperweight sounds cool, I could really do with a phone!
BTW, thanks for your help!

If the phone won't boot using home + camera then they can't prove it's been rooted (unless they somehow read the nand...) so they should replace it for you without charge.. Same thing could happen if the battery was pulled during an over-the-air update.
they wont bother checking anything, just be sure it is bricked and your good. Most likely they just take it apart and jtag it or something like that. And if you got the phone from tmo and are with them then no its free.

Yep, it wont boot using any key-combo.
Its reading the NAND/using JTAG which is what I'd do (i work with embedded devices!).
I might say the battery died while the update was happening, gotta act dumb! (which I must be for managing to brick it in anycase, after all, Im a softy-eng!)
And I'll get a new phone! Or reconditioned?
Many thanks ppl!
Well.
If you manage to help this guy (http://twitter.com/r3nrutSite/) and the ppl on this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309291) to JTAG the G1, please tell me.
I'm stuck with a bricked G1 here in Brazil.
Currently there is no way of bringin a g1 back to life short of giving it a heart transplant<new board>

Tp2 brick eny help??????
plis help
i was unlocking my phone (the HTC Touch Pro 2 <sprint>) and I was using a Diamond unlocker , but during the process there was a connection error and now my phone seems to be bricked. I can't get it to even turn on, get to a bootloader screen, or anything even remotely close.
The one odd thing that it does though, is when I connect it to my computer, it pops up and my computer recognizes there is a device there. In my Device Manager there is an unknown device called: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM. I have tried every combination of two buttons, including holding down the reset button with all of them, but nothing gets me anywhere.
If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it. there's eny way to save it???

I'm using Rogers HTC dream and i'm planning to get the cyannogen mod going.
well changing the spl is not a problem and my phone is running spl1.33.2005.
When i try to use to fastboot method from cyannogen's wiki
i can't get the usb drive works, it keeps saying that :"windows cannot install drivers". At first time i thought it is win7 64bit system's problem. Then i try to do it on a winxp machine, it didn't work either!

What's wrong? Describe what is happening and I will try to help you get it working.
lol thanks man. after few hours searching on the internet, i found out that many people have the same problem as i do.
when type in "fastboot devices", there is no "serial number" coming out, if you try "fastboot reboot", the cmd will stay on "waiting for devices".
This can be solved by downloading the android SDK package. Put the system.img and radio.img into it. try "fastboot" again.
For me it works, as soon as seeing the serial number on the cmd, i'm so happy^^.
well, the phone is faster in responding, but the available is reduced
In the stock rom I usually seeing 40MB available, but right now I only have 32MB?
That is to be expected because the rom installs some apps that you probably didn't have before. If you setup apps2sd it will move all your apps over to the sd card and free up lots of space. I have 77mb available space.
hello , after unlocking bootloader and rooting phone i had a real hard time getting s-off so i just left that part , i installed a few custom roms that just stayed on the htc boot logo but i backed up my stock rom so i could go back to it if needed , but now when i click restore in cwm it gets to white htc screen then reboots back to recovery , ive tried flashing boot.img but it says "error: cannot load 'boot.img'" so im just stuck at the minute so any help would be great , my phone is >>>>

ive tried searching for it and found ways to do it but its not working for me so i came in here looking for help only to get sarcastic reply , not helpfull at all
You should not be attempting something that you obviously have no knowledge about. Your reply that you have searched and have found ways but they are not working is proof enough of this. The first hit of my "sarcastic" reply is a method that will definitely work on our phone, there are also guides in this very section as well as many other noobs asking this very same question countless times.
You may have "searched", but you obviously have not "looked" or "read".
oh lord

Make sure you change to your fastboot directory and your boot.img file exists in your fastboot directory....
Once entered command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
it should work, even I had got the same error, so I just pulled cable, connected back and entered same command.. It worked..
Psst: make sure that its written fastboot usb in the bootloader screen. If not written, then USB is faulty

When you're in fastboot you can do
"Fastboot devices" to see of its connected properly
You will see your serial number.

Hello all,
I am very new to the community of rooting and am completely lost. A friend of mine gave me this dell streak 7 because someone gave it to him and he was never able to get it to work. I am stuck at "Starting Fastboot USB download protocol" If someone would possibly explain how I might go about fixing this and using it with it's maximum potential I would appreciate it very much. Now although I am very tech savvy I don't have the slightest clue about rooting or loading custom roms so I will have to be talked to like a child until I get comfortable. As of now I have connected the streak to my computer but have yet to have it recognized. That's pretty much as far as I have gotten. I do have a 32gb SD card as well if it needs to be used in the process somehow.
Thanks for all everyone's time and help

Your not stuck, it's just waiting for you to use the Fastboot command from your PC. Open the little side door, insert a small paperclip into the small hole to reboot normally if it will.

ok so, while waiting for a response from someone on here I was playing around with it and realized that the first step i was missing was getting the computer to recognize the tablet. I never had the correct drivers installed and I was having a hard time getting windows to recognize the drivers.
Anyway I am finally able to get the drivers into windows and now I am able to control the device from the command prompt on the computer.
What is my next step? how do i load the rom into the device ? and which one is the best to use for this one ?
I'm thinking the last person who had this device messed it up very badly and now all it wants to do is go into fasboot mode nothing else, i thought I had installed the (Clockwork mod recovery.img) S7-6.0.1.2.img into the recovery using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334487,
After i do that I says done. but nothing happens on the device after is says "Flashing StorMgr partition recovery"
sending 'recovery' (4742 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.525s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.010s]
finished. total time: 0.543s

You have your choice. You can use HoneyStreak ROM's by DJ_Steve, which are completed (Honeycomb Android 3.2)
You can run my CM10.1 (Android 4.2.1)

Yes but exactly how do I do that? I can't seem to figure out where to start the flashing process. All I am able to do with my device is get into fasboot mode, where do I go from there ? I want to use CM10.1

Yes I realize this but as I am extremely new to the scene and there is sooooo much info, it's hard to know where to begin. I don't even know what to look for really because I don't know what tools do what. It's like having all the pieces to the puzzle but unable to put them in the correct order.

Basics of flashing:
Thank you. I will look at these and hopefully it will clear some things up. The problem is that my situation is unique I think. I don't know if maybe i have a broken button or the person who gave it to me really messed it up but all it does is boot into fastboot automatically, although I can get it into NVFLASH mode i don't know what these modes do. Are they both able to flash the system so I can use the device? If so do some files work in one that don't work in the other?
I tried putting the device in NVFlash mode caus I want to put the CM10.1 FW on it, am I headed in the right direction ? The only things that I can launch are "Install JB_Alpha_E.bat" and "NVFLASH.exe" running the Install_JB one opens the command prompt and it looks like it is doing something which is how it looks in the video but then suddenly after it processes some files the command prompt window just closes, am I doing something wrong ?

I'll give you a hint, the line you want to pay attention to is stated right above the download links.
Failed executing command 12 NvError 0x12002
So because the cmd prompt closes so fast I cannot see the error, so I took a video and paused i played it until it froze right where the message came up.
Here is what it says if failes right after creating partitions blah blah blah
Failed executing command 12 NvError 0x12002
command failure: create failed (Bad data)
bootloader status: fatal failure to read / write to mass storage (code:9) message: nverror:0x8 (0x19000008) flags: 0
What does that even mean ? is the device broken somehow ?

Sorry I seem so dense when it comes to this stuff, I really don't know android stuff that well.
I looked back and maybe I'm missing what you are saying but I already have the device in NV mode and have the drivers installed if that is what you were talking about.
Now it's just the crashing problem that i'm having. Any ideas? or am I still doing it wrong?

Sorry, at the time I had posted that you were still working with fastboot.
Do you have the drivers installed and in device manager it states that it sees "nvidia recovery" ?
Hard reset with a push pin, go back into NVFLASH mode again, and run the batch file again. If it fails, you hvae to do this step every time.

Damn, let me guess, he won't tell anyone how to do it either or show pictures of claimed revived device.
As far as dell goes, is it something that they will fix or do they consider the warranty void because of whatever was done to it to make it like that?
So sad and here I thought I was actually progressing in fixing it. Question though, how does something like that happen? Did the person flash it wrong? Or interrupt it while writing some critical process?
Actually he did tell us how to do it, it was just 1 in a million chance it works.
Ok I need some help. As of right now my tab is dead, the only thing it does when powered on is loads to the Asus splash screen and that's all. I can not get it into Fastboot mode at all and Adb cant find it either. I have already tried Sp Flashtools to no avail. I have all the Vcom drivers installed, every where I searched the one driver that people talked about was the mtk6585 driver ( I think that's what it is ) , the one for me that popped up and went away really fast was a driver called CLOVERVIEW. So needless to say I cant get SP Flash tools to work, and without fastboot mode im really stuck. Ever since I first came across this site a few years back I have rooted, and put custom roms on countless devices, I would call myself an experienced flasher. Well this tab has me feeling like a real noob, I can not figure it out. So if someone can help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you XDA world.

I just got myself into the same situation. If you can get to a point where CLOVERVIEW comes up, that can be fixed (I actually just added a howto to the general section). However, I don't know how to get out of the stuck splash screen, since it's an awkward medium between download and fastboot. I'm not even sure what I did to cause this; I had just flashed boot.img and splashscreen.img and issued a fastboot reboot-bootloader.
The device does indeed pop up in download mode for about a second while booting; doesn't seem long enough for a flash. I would really like to find out if there is any way to force this device to boot into download mode.
