[solved] Unable to boot to recovery - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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

Need help with ADP1 stuck in the SPL mode

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 :-/

last resourt ,stuck on raimbow bootloader help

Originaly i was on kingclick 1.6.1 hard spl recovery 1.5.2 latest radio 26i, however, i rebooted holding the power button and all of the sudden i was stuck on the 3 skaters bootloader. After many attempts to flash various roms(wipe everything before doing so) i decided to flash an dreaimg.nbh and now im
stuck on
drea100 pvt32b
hboot-0.95.0000

(rainbow screen)
recovery (home+power) works and it seems that when applied a rom-cr29 the flashed rom is applied but it returns to the rainbow boot loader where it proceeds to the .nbh file.
(in 1 occasion using cyanogen wiki i let the .nbh file run just like i was going to aquired root, the exact procedure.
furthermore, on top of the android recovery commands i get "E:cant open /cache/recovery/command and the options 3 minimal options of reboot, toggle log, apply update and wipe are available.
im fan of reading all threats. top to bottom but as a last resort ill just say "this time i dont understand and would like some guidance"
Is there a specific rom that Runs on that spl provided above?
Is the problem ever solved? I have exactly the same problem:
stuck at the rainbow screen
apply rc29, update successfully, but when i reboot, it goes back to where it proceeds to the .nbh file.
I once had to revert my phone back to stock and I could only boot to the SPL screen . Luckily I followed this (http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/23/how-to-unroot-the-htc-g1-dream/) guide and got back to stock, re-rooted, and now I'm running CM 6.1 . Good luck to you.

[Q] Cant get into recovery, Logo graphical error on boot

Hey guys, I'm having trouble with my nexus device, I was watching youtube on it and it froze and now doesnt boot. I can access hboot, but recovery just shows the X logo and restart. I've tried reflashing boot.img, reflashing the recovery, reflashed stock hboot, flashed new roms from fastboot. I've also tried passimg.zip, and flashing a different radio but it stops 90% the way through, and it gets stuck in loading passdiag.zip if I use the volume down button to boot instead of the trackpad button.
The graphic abnormality is like an artifacting. If you search youtube its called "Nexus one stuck on X, can't boot to recovery.", I cant however post a link.
Anyone encountered this before? Any insight is appreciated.
well I've managed to remove blackrose at least, and to get to the blackrose menu. You have to access it from command prompt with "blackrose.exe skip" while in fastboot. Though I'd put it here incase it helps someone else in a similar circumstance.

Not able to boot into recovery

I was trying to flash a new rom couple days ago and I feel I did a mistake somewhere which led to an issue and I can't manually boot into recovery (I have tried reflashing recovery) when ever I try to boot into recovery or rom does it for Android updates it gets stuck in fastboot from here I can't turn on the phone, when ever I try to turn it on, it boots back into fastboot, the only way for me to actually get back into my device is by using a pc with fastboot boot recovery.img. It usually updates the rom and I can get back to my device from here. I've tried a couple of things but I'm not able to go to recovery without my pc. Suggest me some fixes that could possibly fix the phone
Thanks in advance
