major help needed - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

was having problems with getting my hero installed. someone said i needed to install the danger spl. went to here http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
flashed the radio first, it went through and said home + back to reboot and now its off and wont turn on in recovery or anything, how can i fix this?

Pretty sure this is a brick. Don't know for sure though.
You flashed the radio and then the SPL correct? If the phone wont turn on at all, then try plugging it in. If it wont boot up, meaning it just loops somewhere and you cant get into recovery or fastboot, then you might be screwed my friend.

yea, if you're bricked and get a new phone. When you try again, install the radio... then reboot and Confirm it's installed. If it is, then go back and install the SPL. don't need to do it all at once. Better safe than sorry.

only flashed the radio, after it completed it said press home + back to reboot, so i went to reboot and my phone got stuck on a screen with the htc logo, so i puleld out the battery and went to turn it back on and it has no power to it, when i plug it in the orange light doesnt come on at all. Im getting it replaced but im not trying to root the new one, just going to keep it over the air

Bricked G1?

New to G1 and have a problem. Bought a G1 and it came with elcaires rom I think it was.
So I downloaded UK RC7, renamed it to Update, and placed it on the root of my card.
Held the home and power button, and tried to install but I'm getting installation aborted each time. I've also tried to wipe, but that gets aborted too.
I rebooted and now its stuck on G1 screen
I hope somebody can help, had the phone an hour and I've mucked it up already.
Thanks in advance
Im also "bricked" at the loading screen, i turn it on and it gets frozen at the tmobile screen. Home+power, camera+power, Alt+L etc dont work.
Is this fixable?

If you cannot access recovery or bootloader, you have a rather expensive paperweight. If you can, then you have hope.

It is not so expensive since it be can brought for less than 100>$$
You can fix it by replacing the board with one from a working phone which is not the easiest thing to do.
hey ill take one of those paper weights... I need a new screen...
in the same boat cant get into anything hung up on splash screen
maybe our only option is jtag, ive never bricked before i always put cm 4 then go and install cm5 above that and it worked but this time it told me to go kick rocks and and and it was a customers phone so i gave him mine which is running eclair.
you guys arn't bricked. If you can turn on the phone than your perfectly fine.
You just gotta learn how to use it
G1 hanged at white screen!
Hi all,
I really need a help here. I have a G1 rooted with CM rom ver5. it was working fine since 3 months but suddenly now the phone doesnt boots up, it goes to white screen with 3 droid skaters and highlight on Hboot. It is freezed then and nothing can be done. I removed battery and tried booting by home + power ; camera+power etc etc . nothing happens it goes to that screen only. i have amons recovery and also nand backups in sd card. but the system doesnt let me go any where!! Please help......
attached is the snapshot
Either your back-button hangs, or something messed up your phone completely.
But as long as you have the fastboot mode, it's not bricked. I would suggest you to clean everything, i.e.
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
and then flash recovery again, i.e.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recover.img>
After that you can boot into recovery and restore your latest backup.
Please note: fastboot is a command you execute on your PC and you have to connect your phone with USB to your PC.
If after that procedure your phone boots again into hboot, most likely your back-button is defect.
I myself I think got a bricked G1...
I first installed many custom roms and thought that they were slowing my g1 so I wanted to get my g1 back to normal... For that I googled and was gone to the htc official website and ported the radio and rom from there but unfortunately I read it somewhere and it said that the rom is for only developers phone.
Everything first went very good... no error on clockwork recovery but when I reboot my phone, it got stuck on T-mobile G1 logo screen? I now can not even go to recovery mode or in fastboot mode? I need help...
Someone told me to use odin multi loader? but how do I use it or do it?? I need some instructions?
What should I do now? All I want to do right now is to get rid of my g1 by fixing it and selling it at once!!!
before flashing radio, spl, rom...anything...u need to check out the warnings and compatibility-MUST!!!!
there are 32B and 32A devices...both have different stuffs for themselves....which can be bricked if u dont follow the guidelines and try to act in sort of a haste to accomplish something new!!!
for those who can get to the camera+power (hboot) screen, but cant do anything else...u need to format ur sdcard...FAT32...then download dreaimg.nbh file...keep it in the root of ur sdcard...
then boot into the hboot menu, and ur phone should read the dreaimg.nbh file and prompt u to take an action(flash it)....do that and it'll get ur phone to the stock rom thingy....
then later u gotta root ur device again(telnet, great)....then install amon ra's recovery...change radio and what not and play again....
u gotta be patient...that's the only thing!!!
check this too

[Q] whoops. i have nothing

ok so im new to rooting and looking back i shouldnt of touched it. but hey too late i already did but now im in deep crap. Apparently i didnt back anything up or save anything about back up in the right spot. my g1 has nothing in it. it wont boot. it goes right to the clockworkmod recovery screen. tried loading roms, no dice, wont work. tried several times. i did manage to install a different radio somehow. when i hold the camera button and start phone it says no image file. i tried flashing different roms all ended the same way. some verification error at the sam e line. im at the point where i just want my phone back but am willing to keep tryin. im just looking for the correct files to use. any and all help is appreciated. any other question just ask.
Put dream.nbh on your sd card in the root, hold camera and power and go from there.
That will put stock 1.6 back on your phone and fix your radio problem.
thanks for such a fast response but its not doing anyting. i loades the file pressed correct buttons and everything but its not doing anyting. just stayin at the screen dreaimg.nbh-
bootloader-
recovery-
boot-
splash-
system-
userdata-
radio-
press power button to start update
press action button to cancel update.
i pressed power and nothing happened
awesome. phones back but on 1.0. booo. guess its better than what i had. ok so now how i get this thing to run 2.2. haha. is it possible.
Do the rooting process again and follow all instructions.

It sounds like you can get into recovery. If so, wipe data,cache,boot,system,dalvik cache. Then flash a new ROM and gapps (from the same thread). It would REALLY help if you would state what recovery and version# you have, what ROM you were trying to flash with what gapps, what radio baseband you have, whether you are s-off or not, and what all you have tried so far, with elaborate steps.

[Q] HELP! Phone won't turn on after installing Aroma

Hey guys,
Today I decided to flash TrickDroid 10.0.0. Everything went well, installed it and at the end of flashing appeared a blue screen saying "Please wait". Waited for about 8-10 minutes, than just clicked once a power button. It asked me do I really wanna quit Aroma installation, pressed No. Then something "magical" happened and it was saying that installation is finished, click to reboot. So I did. After this step my phone won't turn on in any ways, tried to connect to pc - still no signs, it even won't charging..
How can I bring it to life!? Or this is it?

Hold Power and Volume down until it goes into the bootloader, from there go into recovery and try re-flashing.

Tried this many times but still nothing happens. I think it's totally bricked
Put it under a light, a very strong light and longpress the power button, try this
Are you S-On or S-Off? If you're S-On it isn't possible for you to totally brick the phone as far as I'm aware ... Especially not from flashing a ROM.

I'm S-On. I was searching for a solution later today and I found JTAG Riff box (actually, the service which brings the phones back to life by using this tool). However they can't help me at all, cause my phone isn't listed in that repairable list (not sure why). And the other thing they said was that I need to change the mainboard, because there're no other ways how to fix this problem. And it's a job for htc, not for them.

if your phone is booting to recovery you can still fix it without replacing mainboard just download cyanogenmod once and try flashing it after wiping everything and see if phone boots up. if it does you can use another custom sense 5rom and if it doesnt htc is the way to go
You're not bricked at all, calm down. Aroma crashes all the time and you just didn't finish the rom installation. Go back into recovery, wipe everything and flash it again. To turn the phone off, plug it into your PC and type 'adb reboot' and then hold down power and volume down as it is rebooting.
