Need help with ADP1 stuck in the SPL mode - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Long story short, I've received this ADP1 from a friend, this ADP1 will only boot into a SPL mode when you turn it on.
But at the time, it still has the ability to boot into a fastboot mode, so I mount the RA1.5.2 recovery img to see if it will take CY rom, it successful booted into the recovery mode, and flash the new radio, 1.6 rom along with the CY rom no problem, but when reboots, still goes into the SPL mode.
So here comes the stupidest move...
I've accidentally flash the NBH file(RC29), and was hoping to have a fully restore the phone, but it didn't, and made it worst, now, it still goes to the SPL mode when you turn it on, and now, I lost the ability to access the fastboot mode, and recovery mode only shows the icon, nothing else.
I would like anyone's advise, anything I can try?
Appreciate your help!

Hmm that's a very odd situation. Without being able to boot the phone after flashing RC29 you have no way to gain root again. Sorry to say it but I think you have a semi-unrecoverable-brick :-/

Flashing without getting past the G1 splash screen?

So basically, I just got through doing the SPL update (I was re-rooting my phone) and now it just hangs at the G1 splash screen.
I've tried booting into the Recovery (I've already applied Cyan's 1.4 recovery img) using (Pwr+Home) and the other things (Pwr+Camera) and still, there's nothing.
Now, I don't have a phone.
And I'm starting to /rage...
Is there anyway I can reflash the R29 without being able to access anything on my phone? just so my phone works atm?

Did you flash the radio before the SPL? Because if ya didn't then you bricked your phone... If you can't boot into recovery or get the SPL to come up.. you're toast. double

Why won't my phone boot in Recovery mode?

I try to turn it on becuase I was going to get hero on my phone but it JUST WONT BOOT! It just stays at the T -- Mobile G1 Screen. HELP I'm getting SOOO frustrated
Brick? Can you boot into fast boot, camera + end? Did you flash the spl before the radio, if so there is no chance of recovery?
No I didnt do anything with SPL and everything works fine just i Can't go into recovery mode!
If you can't get into recovery or bootloader then you sir have yourself a nice lil brick.

[solved] Unable to boot to recovery

For the last year I have been able to boot to recovery no problem. About a week ago it stopped booting to recovery. Holding home + power brings me to the g1 endless loop. The weird part is it will load any recovery right after I flash it via adb or terminal. I have tried out all the recovery images out there and they all are the same, I have to flash it before I can boot to it and it will only boot once, after reset I have to flash again to get back into it. The same goes for cm updater. I download the update, apply it, phone resets, g1 boot screen infinity... I am an advanced script kiddy and I can't find a solution anywhere any ideas on how to deal with this? Would a log help?
Thanks!

did you try to flash a new recovery.img?
^^
Every time I want to boot to recovery I have to flash. It does not matter what recovery.img I flash (RA, CM, etc..) I stil have to do it every time if I want to boot to recovery. If I reboot the phone or power off cycle more then once I lose the ability to boot to the recovery rom. Its as if it disapears after rebooting or shut down...
Solved...
I wiped and reinstalled cm's latest build. Works fine now. I'm guessing I have to wipe from now on I was really hoping I don't have to.
Thanks

My G1 will only boot up sometimes showing up the screen???

I have never encountered this issue... have been flashing roms for years.. on my windows phones and my G1 since it was possible..
The other day I went up update my phone to the latest CM ROM.. my phone finished and then I booted up the phone.. the screen was black.. i waited for a long time and not even the G1 screen showed up..
I booted again.. and same thing.. i booted again for days and tried getting into the recover with no luck..
I read someone had a simliar issue on here and they went into recover (though no screen or text shows up on screen) and proceded to hit alt w to wipe..i did that aswell and the next boot up the G1 screen showed up. I then did a complete wipe from there and began to install the new HTC recover and CM rom from scratch.. then same thing happend.. i kept getting the black screen...
I then tried to install the original SPL and install the original G1 rom and start all over.. i was able to install the original SPL (which I think is part of the issue) and then turned off the phone.. I placed the dreaimg in the sdcard and went to hit CAMERA and POWER.. and nothing shows up..
I can't for how many times i tried am able to get the phone to go into the install screen from holding down CAMERA and POWER..
I am able to restore the phone using the nanback up from the recover but since I installed the SPL it went away.. not sure if they are connected somehow.. so now i don't have those options either..
Can somebody help me with some ideas on how to fix this?
If you can't get into recovery? To me it looks like a brick phone.
As far as been here and read some post about not able getting into recovery or tri color screen not working as well and not getting any response from phone

I am able to get to the Amon Ra recovery.. and do things from there.. the problem is that when I reboot..it sometimes shows up the G1 and sometimes it stays black..
I tried reverting back to the original ROM by putting the dream on there at that point i noticed that when hold camera and power nothing happens..im' still able to reboot and go into Amon Ra recovery though..
Just an update.. i noticed that my phone only boots up properly if I slide out the keyboard before I press the power button to turn on the phone.. same thing applies when getting out of standby mode while the phone is on...

G1 when power on comes only G1 screen

G1 when power on comes only G1 screen, when soft reset and hard reset is the same . when update it says on screen: "E: Cant open / cache/recovery/ command" and aborting upgrade in 50%
Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on with this?
well im assuming the phone has been properly set as far as radio/spl -- i would say you need to reflash your recovery. Erase your current recovery with fastboot and then fastboot the brand new recovery into it and try again. If the phone cant boot into the rom it will try to boot into the recovery and if it cant, it does that. I think. theres a pretty nice G1 wiki here and theres also cyanogenmod wiki... cant go wrong there.
