it seems like you're pretty bricked.
Please give more information on your procedure.
If you cannot boot into recovery (home + power) or the bootloader (camera + power) then it is most likely bricked. If you have insurance, just tell T-Mobile that your phone told you that there was an update available, and when you clicked OK, the phone restarted and then you were stuck at the G1 screen.
um
well i dont know anything how to flash cyanogen
on the jachero page it said get the latest spl so i updated and after that canot go into recovery
so i only have warranty no insurance

if you dont even know what your putting on your phone, you kinda deserved it...
Use your warranty, tell them there was an over the air update and ur phone ran out of battery in the middle of it.... and read up/think before doing something like that again...
theres really nothing you can do now. You need to give us more detailed procedures if you want a second opinion
well
i did know what to do but since i already have the latest radio then i just put the spl and if i get another g1 if i already have the hard spl do i need to put the latest because igot the hard spl from another forum but since the jachero page told me to update it i did that maybe i dont have the latest radio but no since anymore and thank you i will tell tmobile i got a ota but didnt the ota thing stop like 3 weeks ago i dont think they will believe me that i just got an ota barely

So? Just say that you had your phone off for a few weeks cuz you went on vacation and chose to bring another phone for safety's sake, and when you got back, you turned on the phone and presto! OTA update...

1) Use full stops, 'cos that's near impossible to read.
2) No, hard SPL will not work you need Haykuro's SPL.
3) Your phone will only have bricked it you had the old radio OR you did not have a PVT board. Did you look in the bootloader before you flashed the new one? I'm guessing not.
4) Luckily there was a security (I think it was security) update that was just released, so they shouldn't qustion it.
ok sorry
Ithink the warranty will cover it
I would go with the OTA story especially since there was just an OTA update released that has been pushed to phones over the last few days. I know a few people who also didn't read up before they started flashing and they too bricked their phones however, the OTA story worked most of the time. This is really your only choice seeing that you don't have insurance on the phone. Good luck
Just use the OTA story again lol
Tmobile wont hassle you too much about it.
Make sure you download the Radio that Haykuro provided, flash it, then boot into the bootloader to make sure it reads properly. Also verify that you have a PVT board.
Put the update.zip with the SPL on your phone AND VERIFY THE MD5 CHECKSUM (you should do it with the radio too actually)
and continue to follow the proper directions.
If you brick after following that, use the OTA story again but stick to HardSPL lol
what is checksum and pvt board?

PVT board is the board that won't brick when flashed with the Danger SPL. Just another design. You can check your board revision by booting into bootloader (camera+power).
md5 checksum is a special key that is tied to the file that is generated based on that file. If the file that you downloaded is corrupt or different compared to the original file, the md5checksum will be different, letting you know that you need to re-download the file or risk a brick.

hi
i flashed my htc dream with the new rogers rom update. i then rooted it using the 1-click-method, and confirmed by running "adb root". I then flashed hardspl and now when i reboot i am stuck at the rogers boot-up screen. trying to boot with camera+power, home+power or back+power has no effect. i have to pull the battery to turn it off. also, when plugged in with usb there is no response.
bricked or something else i can do?
if you have no access to spl or recovery then it is indeed a brick.

thanks for your response. i read in your sticky that after spl upgrade it can take up to 15 minutes to boot, so now i am waiting and hoping, somehow it will come back to life (about 5 mins left)
update: 15 minutes gone by and still stuck
it will take up to 15 mins to do a normal boot but not if you hold camera+power. holding camera sends you straight to the spl. If it doesn't do that then there's nothing you can do. Can you provide a link to the spl you downloaded?

I guess I should mention, we are waiting for david1171 to determine how your phone got bricked so it doesn't happen again. The phone is actually a brick if Home+Power or Camera+Power doesn't work.

ok so it probably cant be fixed then. i will try and return it to Rogers hopefully they will replace it.
that new Rogers rom had a new radio version. im new to android so i guess this is a lesson learned the hard way.
Same thing here.
I think I'm in the same boat as you. Waiting on the Rogers splash screen with nothing happening. Still have access to the home/power command to access recovery mode but can't do much past that. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

i just realised this is known as hard-spl and is not the same as the 2005 spl, so i might have flashed the wrong spl the first time? can anyone conform before I try 2005 from haykuro's thread?

hard spl is not the same as the 2005 spl. you need the haykuro spl.
make sure you read the thread "rogers, heres your real root"
that way you get a better understanding of the phone. it seems as though rogers and the g1 are 2 completely different animals

Just because the phone is rooted doesn't mean it is magical and can't be bricked. You have to have the latest radio before you can flash the danger SPL. Depending on which method you used(likely RC29 method) that radio would not be anywhere close to what is needed. And, yes, once you flash the danger SPL without the newest radio, you have a brick and no way getting back from it.
Hopefully your friend is understanding and it isn't a major disaster getting a replacement G1 for him.
Flash Danger SPL without Latest Radio = Bricked.
I hope that your friend can get a replacement without much complications, because that one is screwed.
You could give him your phone...
the phone already had the newest radio installed... it was a brand new G1.. =X did i still have to flash it with the radio on this forums?

Most likely yes usually when something is brand new it was manufactured months ago. Its unlikely that it included the proper radio. try blaming your friend lol good luck!

Brand new or not, most every root method has you downgrade to RC29, which takes you back to a radio that is about a year old now.

Before you do anything else, read this tutorial very carefully.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625886
Make sure that your phone has the PVT board and not a DVT board.
You can check by going into fastboot and make sure that it reads DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF on the first line.
Then you upgrade the radio first AND THEN you flash the Danger SPL.
Just make sure that you read that tutorial very carefully and know what you are doing or else you might just end up with a paperweight.

Try removing the battery and then put it back in and see if it turns on. Then see if you can get into recovery mode. BTW, what recovery are you using right now?

Did you check to see if you phone has a PVT board? Did you install the radio first and then install the SPL? If you did it the other way around, then will will have a brick.
Is the phone not powering on after you flash the radio or after you flash the spl?
yes i know the phone has pvt and i checked it and i installed the radio first i did not had the chance to install the spl and after rebooted into recovery i pulled the battery out and after that it did not power on
That's weird because the radio should not have bricked your phone. Since you were able to boot the phone after you flashed the radio, it couldn't have been the radio either. Why did you pull the battery when you were in recovery?
What was your battery level before you flashed? If it ran out during the installation, then you have a brick. Try charging it some and see if it turns on.

IIRC when flashing a radio, the phone will reboot itself during the process then carry on flashing.. you didn't pull your battery then did you..?

Are you sure it was the recovery screen? Did it have all the text options? The radio flashing screen looks similar.. If you pulled it out there, you're bricked.
I am pretty familiar with the guide that you said you followed. I dont remember seeing the part in it that says "pull the battery"...
UPDATE: After this persons unfortunate experience I have updated the guide to actually tell you not to pull the battery at any point during the installation process. I know its common sense but this thread goes to show that unless you tell someone not to do something they may think that its ok.

After you flash the radio it tells you to reboot and it reboots and then finishes installing the radio. Then it reboots to recovery. You must have pulled the battery before the radio finished installing.
I received a G1 from a friend, this isn't actually the first G1 i've rooted. I have one of my own, and I have done about 3 others without any problems what so ever.
I'm not exactly sure what went wrong. I had flashed the recovery, following the cyanogen wiki, and when I got to the flashing the Hard SPL part, i flashed it, (and the radio) and i restarted, and thats it. It just stays at the G1 screen.
No combination of keys work. Home + Power. Camera + Power. Nada.
From most of the threads I've found, I can almost say its a brick, but I just wanted to double check that theres nothing I can do (ADB?).
Thanks!

sent it back to the SP with a story of how during the flash the computer crashed. here's to hoping.
got the phone back after being charged about $25 to repair.
anyway this time i read the instructions properly. left the radio on 3.22.20.17 and then installed the one click root and flashrec apps. I then rooted the phone, download Anon-RA's recovery image with flashrec. I then followed the cyanogen wiki and froyo is now running on it.

It definitely sounds like you have a hard brick. I think the only way to fix your phone is to JTAG JTAG it. Which I have no idea how that works or how to reload the software on your phone.
