Okay, so I know what everyone says, "make sure you know what you're doing before you update to Danger SPL." So I read and re-read all the forums and guides about various problems and how to avoid them and how to flash the radio and SPL, THEN after I was comfortable I decided to go for it.
So here is my issue:
I used the two sd card method. After wiping, I flashed the radio to 2.22.19.26I, then rebooted. I wiped again and flashed the SPL to 1.33.2005, took out the SD card and put the other one in. I rebooted from console (using command "reboot recovery"), wiped again, and flashed CM 4.2.10.1 and rebooted. After this final reboot it sticks at the G1 screen and doesn't do anything beyond here. I also tried reflashing everything and formatting the new SD card, then loaded the CM version with RA's USB-MS mode and flashed it. Same effect, stuck on G1 screen.
I still have access to the recovery image as well as fastboot and the screen with the androids on the scateboards (bootloader? I'm niot sure). WIth those things in mind, I don't think I have bricked anything, but of course that doesn't help the fact that I can't use the phone. Any help here would be AWESOME.

ALSO I hope a thread with an answer doesnt already exist, I did search for quite a while for a solution but couldn't find one. Thanks again to anyone who can help me out.
Just checking cause you didn't mention this step but before flashing Cyanogen 4.2.10.1 did you flash the HTC ADP image??
Have you tried flashing any other ROM's??
Since you still have recovery && bootloader you're not in a terrible position, you're not bricked, just gotta find out where you're going wrong

Snab a copy of cyanogen's rom (update.zip) and recovery image (on the forums)
Boot the phone into fastboot (power off, hold camera button and power on)
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
this should insure that you have a proper recovery image.
boot into recovery mode now (you can press the menu button to power off the device from the SPL menu, then hold the HOME button and power on the device)
Code:
adb devices
you may need to do this a couple times until it shows up, once adb reports your device is available
Code:
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push update.zip /sdcard
then press ALT+S (or select the option from the menu using your wheel)
let the rom flash.
when it's complete, reboot your device (HOME+BACK) or just use the menu again.
it should now boot.. if it takes a bit longer than usual, check if the device is active using:
Code:
adb devices
if your device is listed, see if it's actually doing something using
Code:
adb logcat
if you see a bunch of "E/" followed by text, your phone is erroring out and you may have to report back here for further assistance, if you see a bunch of "apks" and "jars" flying by, your phone is booting it's just checking signatures most likely.

ADP image? I did the steps exactly as I described them. Should I have flashed HTCs ADP image? I guess so, if thats what I did to get CM in the first place. Is that the image that puts all the Google Apps on the phone? Also, if I'm getting CM v4.2.10.1 from the website, and I'm coming from a new radio and SPL, should I have to treat it as though I'm not updating and am coming from a freshly rooted phone?
and @haykuro, I'll try that as soon as I get the time.
Before you flash Cyanogen for the first time you need to flash HTC's ADP image
Check out the Cyanogen's Wiki for a full guide on installing his rom
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
Since you've already gotten as far as getting a custom recovery skip down to the section called "File Download" and continue on, that should get you on the right track
Yes that is the image that get's you all the Google Apps
Yes after installing the 1.33.2005 SPL you have to reinstall a fresh ROM

Worked like a charm! Kinda makes me feel like an idiot though for not thinking about needing to treat it like a fresh install instead of an update, but I'm glad it worked!

was running HSPL10.95.3000 and decided to flash 1.33.2005 but now im having problems.
installed new spl on sd card, renamed it to update. entered recovery mode and alt+s it and after it was done i did the reboot and now its stuck on the g1 screen.
any suggestions?
ok so i turned off the g1 and tried installing the spl again, alt+s, it was done. rebooted, now its on recovery mode and its saying :Formatting Cache:...
Haykuro's new spl
My phone is doing the exact same thing... If only I read the comments on that how to get root partition sd in the console and install the jachero 2.63 maybe I woulda known this would happen... How to restore? I used nandroid backup but it isn't working...
yeah, trying to restore but not looking good lol
hope i didn't brick my g1
did you install the radio first? Do you have a DVT or PVT device? If you have DVT or didn't flash the radio first, your phone is bricked...
If you can access recovery, then your device is not bricked, try booting into the bootloader (Camera + Power). If the SPL is the new one, try flashing a new ROM, if its the old one, try re-flashing the SPL.

Go ahead and boot into recovery (Home + Power), then just flash a ROM of your choice.
how do i flash a new rom from the recovery? how do i open up my memory card?
i try to reboot my g1 from there and it loops at the g1 screen then it opens up recovery again. Do i need to get me a card reader to install the rom?
Alrite listen up. Turn off your phone (pull battery out). BOot into recovery (YOU DO!?! have cyanogen's recovery RIGHT?!?!!) and go into console. Connect your usb and type ums_enable
Now you should be able to copy a ROM onto your sdcard. Once its copied to your sdcard, type ums_disable in the recovery console to unmount your sdcard. Remove the usb cable, type reboot recovery and just wipe and flash
try adb

There r two ways u can flash without a cardreader one is to put the sd from Ur g1 into anybody fone and once the file is on the card put it back in the g1 got to recovery and flash. Or anybody option is to do a adv push it the file to Ur sd.
Easy solutions. Put rom on sdcard either thru recovery like another poster said or in a card reader then update again.
sorry for not replying after my last post but i had to fly out of the house since i was getting late for work
sucks to be without a phone for a day lol
after work i went to frys and bought me a $3 micro usb reader and just got home and installed cms rom and its loading up right now. I'll let you know how it goes.

Hi Guys,
I've got a big problem with my G1 which I bought on ebay.
It has the original cupcake 1.5 on it, no modifications.
The last few days, I read diffent posts about rooting and custom ROM's and I decided to try it by myself.
So I rooted the phone successfully and wanted to flash the newest Sense ROM on my G1.
I updated the radio first and than the SPL. After flashing the SPL, the phone is now stuck into the T-Mobile screen and won't boot further.
I took this versions of radio an SPL:
http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
I tried a hard reset but it didn't work. My G1 doesn't boot into update mode. No success with home + power on button or camera + power on button.
Please help me, if you got any other ideas.
Thank you very much.

What is this Sense ROM? I searched in Android Development (the first 3 pages anyway) for the word Sense and didn't see anything. Can you provide a link to the ROM that you are trying to flash? Did you post your question on there?
Also... do you have a PVT board?
Can you try another ROM to see if that loads? You MUST reflash your ROM after the 1.33.2005 SPL. If the ROM requires you to put a app_s directory on your sdcard do this:
Boot in recovery (ALT-X)
#mount system/sd
#cd system/sd
#rm -r app_s
#reboot recovery
then wipe and reflash your ROM.

You can't access adb when the phone is bricked.
Almost every occasion that someone thinks that they've bricked their phones, they haven't. It's just user error.
Things to keep in mind:
If you use the Danger SPL, you NEED the updated drivers to fastboot.
If you can get into either the bootloader or recovery then you're not bricked.
If you can get ANYTHING on adp then you should still be able to save it.
If none of the above are successful then you're s.o.l.
The same thing happens to a lot of people that upgrade their spl. Including myself. If you have a backup from nandroid on your computer and can get into fastboot (with the required drivers) try to flash them back. Nandroid does not recover the spl BUT make sure your backup did not include the old radio because I'm not certain if Nandroid restores the radio. (I need clearification on that part.) If you have the Haykuro (aka danger) spl DO NOT flash any other radio to your phone in ANY circumstance. But if you can't access the bootloader or recovery or get anything with ddms then I guess it doesn't matter (since you would officially have a brick). If you followed the directions to the letter and have a PVT board, this shouldn't have happened though.
Whats interesting is.. my friend had a new G1 yesterday, later that night, Tmobile pushed its update out on it, next you know the G1 was locking up and then just now got stuck forever on the G1 screen, after 10 mins it will load up, but even recovery mode would not load up quick. Touch screen went out too. So not sure if he did something or if the update really is a issue.
Either way Tmobile is sending it back via warrenty. =)
Just kinda concerned tho that a auto push update would cause the phone to screw up. Was stock g1 at that.

first boot into bootloader(camera and home) and see if you have a white screen with 3 skating androids.
if you do then you have the hard spl.
sometimes when you flash a spl it will wipe your phone.
if you do have the hard spl just go ahead and flash whatever rom you want to use.
if you don't have a card reader go into the recovery console and type ums_enable to mount your sdcard and put the rom on your sdcard then type ums_disable to unmount the sdcard, then finally type reboot recovery and when it boots up flash your rom.
That did it David just uploaded CM 4.0.4 and its up and running. You have been alot of help tonight, kick you a little something for your help...
wait , you push alt-s, are you still using the orignal recovery, do yourself a favor and flash cm recovery 1.4, nandroid backup and restore, flash any zip.

I was having the same issue... ( I have the pimped recovery as well)
The first couple times I tried, I was getting no changes to the spl...
I tried one more time, wiped to be sure, proceeded to install spl
I then made it to same point, "formatting cache..."
I decided to start the reboot process and quickly pressed
"cam + power" when the screen went black and BAM,
got the 3 skateboarding androids
and it says "HSPL 10.95.3000"
I then reinstalled latest Cyan, and partitioned the sdcard with sdparted.txt

Rebooted and
Thx!!
I am trying to unroot my friend's G1... I found a tutorial on XDA (link) and it worked fine without any problems on my phone, however when I go into recovery mode (CyanogenMod v1.4+JF) and I hit Alt+S, it starts to install the update.zip and it reboots and starts up in recovery and gets stuck on Formatting CACHE:... I've let it sit for quite a while and still nothing. I can reboot the phone, but it just starts back up in the rooted mod. When I start into the bootloader (camera+power), it's not the three android's on skateboard, it's the colored screen, and it doesn't give me the option to install DREAIMG.nbh file. I'm not quite sure what to do, especially since I had absolutely no problem testing this tutorial on my own phone.
EDIT: I figured out that the bootloader is downgraded and working. Now when I load the bootloader, it goes to the grey screen and says Loading... No image found! I have searched the forums and google for a solution to this program and so far nothing I've found is working. I've reformatted my SD card many times to FAT32, as well as redownloaded the DREAIMG.nbh file... Any help would be great!
EDIT 2: I'm not sure what the problem was or what I did to get it to work, but after formatting over and over and downloading and redownloading, and trying different SD cards, it finally started to work.
Ok. I have done everything that was suggested up above. I also get the 3 android skateboarders and I have tried to install the new
[ROM] CyanogenMod - Keeping You Legal For Less (STABLE) [UPDATED 10/31 - v4.2.3.1]
Which installs just fine. But then I reboot the device and it continues to be stuck on the G1 Splash Screen.
I can verify that I updated the Radio first and confrimed it was updated then updated the SPL and got formatting cache and waited like 15 mins and then now I am stuck.
So I what david1171 suggested and still nothing.
Any suggestions would be nice.
Thanks

Hold your horses! That isn't the link I gave you to follow... You are in dangerous territory right now... what all have you done, exactly? Flashing that SPL can and will brick your phone if not done right.
I was using the link you gave me, close to the top it says to follow the linked guide for rogers phones as they are done differently(my phone is rogers)
that link leads you to:

this first one is a relply of the second link (supposedly easyer)
LAST EDIT:
So, should i continue following
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654
Ok, carry on! As long as your reasd twice and do once you should be ok. And don't worry about the 'on' vs 'off', the big concern is what board do you have, and you have the 32b PVT, which is the one you need. I believe that 'on' 'off' is in regards to carrier lock.
like i edited, the first link guy does not have the SPL that I now have, i will be following the final link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654
When it says:
"once you are at SPL 1.33.2005 (AND ONLY THEN)
download this (it is hyperlinked)
(md5: 4a58a5702fdf899547011888d9cc066f .. sha1: 99e38e4f8798e952e67421a42e7b053ea70957b7)
extract both images wherever you'd like."
does it mean extract whereever on the sd?
I would assume extract and place on the root of the SD card based off the fact you will be doing all this from fastboot, aka the phone itself.
alright so i did that stuff, now when i boot the phone hangs at the rogers logo, what should i try.
did make a nandorid back up in the recovery menu a little while ago, how an i use it to go back? or is there another option to do something?
I can still boot into the recovery menu and camera+ power menu
Can you get into recovery? First boots take a long time as well, how long has it been hung up? But it sounds like you don't have a ROM on the device currently.
I can get into recovery, It was hung for like 4-5 minutes before i reset it. I dont think i did the fastboot stuf right, I pressed send inorder to fastboot, it said fastboot and i started typing the stuff on the link (you cannot see anything i was just typing) i then rebooted to recovery and Alt+s applyed the update (cynogen).
it is hung at the rogers screen. Can you try and translate the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654
a bit better and i can try the fast boot part again?
In the guide it says press back arrow to get inot fast boot but on my screen there is only one option for fastboot and it is the send button.
I tryed to use the update.zip file again but this time it said that it could not mount and that the directory does not exist.
It sounds like you did do the fastboot right, actually, since if you didn't it would boot up fully...
I would try this, dl this rom and put it on the root of your sd card, then boot into recovery mode and select "flash any .zip update" or whatever the exact wording is, then select the file named "dwang-v1.15" and follow the onscreen prompts. It is also probably a good idea to get your phone on a charger sometime soon, wouldn't be surprised if the battery is getting close to dead since when in fast boot and recovery and during boot up itself battery drain is pretty quick.
I truly think you did the fastboot stuff right, since when done you should have the SPL and radio, recovery, but no ROM and need to boot into recovery and flash the new ROM.
Forgot to give the link to the ROM, it is dwang's, my personal favorite and a good starting point to work from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567023
the option is apply update.zip so i should probably change the file name to that. Ill give it a go.
its still hanging on the rogers icon, weird. Perhaps i should use the nandoid backup? if you agree that that is the best option how would i do that?
another note, when i tryed to flash the rom you gave me it did not let me, game a an error about mounting and cannot find a file, I then put the recovery images back onto the sd card and the operation worked this time, it was unpackin na extracting and everything. Now it is still hung.
I would probably just nandroid at this point, yes
can ou guide me on how to do that?
Hmmmmmmm, do this for me as well, boot into boot loader (camera+power) and tell me what it says on the screen.

First of all, to install CM6, you must have the dangerspl (according to Cyangoen).
So we need to know which spl that you are using.
Hold camera button and boot up your device.
Tell us what you see on the screen.
You MUST have 1.33.2005 spl and 2.22.23.02 radio.
If you do NOT have the 1.33.2005 spl then you MUST make sure that you have the 2.22.23.02 radio FIRST!!! We cannot skip this step!!! You MUST make sure that you have the 2.22.23.02 radio! Then after you verified that you have that then make sure that you have 1.33.2005. I am stressing this because if you have a different radio it MAY (very likely) brick your phone!
If you have all of that then you should be able to just wipe everything and flash the rom from recovery. An alternative is to wipe, flash to a different rom (non froyo... say... Donut) until you can figure out the recovery issue.
I recommend the clockwork recovery or amon_ra recovery.
We already tried doin' all this, it wouldn't "flash" the new recovery.

You should consider upgrading your radio. You'll notice improved battery life.
Also, can you flash ANY rom? Any at all?
If so then just flash_image recovery recovery.img from terminal or adb shell.
Nope, No ROMS what-so-ever...
I'm not worried about battery life, My phone won't boot up, I can't use it, let's fix this thing!
Can't flash, won't boot up, I kinda NEED my phone, I'm a almost 16 year old, I'm surprised I'm still Alive!

what recovery do you currently have?
Just flash the original RC29 image file using fastboot mode and reroot and redo everything from there., guaranteed to work.

I agree. Starting completely over will probably be the best move.

You can make all from the start.
or
Erase your recovery into adb using fastboot, and flash agian via adb.
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery NAMEOFRECOVERY.img
I have this problem before and fixed using this process via adb.
My Recovery is JFv1.42
[Yes, it is old]
I would love to re-root, But, if I do, I would want to with the most updated things, of course. So someone gather up all the files for me, Please...

Huh? Gather all the files for you?
What "files" are you referring to exactly?
I can't tell you what rom to flash, what recovery to flash, what apps to flash.
Everything you need is in my signature for my G1. It's all stable and my G1 works 100%. You cannot expect people to spoonfeed you here. Sorry, I don't mean to be rude but the community cannot accept responsiblity if anything goes wrong.

For those that said start over READ HIS POST! he has new hboot if he starts over, it will brick! i suggest doing thru adb, when doing it thru adb less likely to fail
I wouldn't know how to re-root, I need help...I DO NOT want to brick this, I just want to fix it, and load a 2.2 ROM on it...I've been without a phone for well over a week.

Well my knowledge with the G1 is a bit rusty I'll admit however as long as he has at least the .26I radio then he can flash any spl. It's anything older than the 26I that leads to bricks.
I can't just flash a new Recovery, it WILL NOT work for some unknown reason...
Your radio is fine (least while fighting other issues there is another version that may help/hurt reception) and you have danger spl installed.. so for the most part you are all set.
What happens when you try 'fastboot flash recovery '?
Can you boot the recovery with 'fastboot boot '
If it failed what happened.
Remember is the location of the recovery.img you want to flash/boot on your computer not the phone.
Yes, I can FastBoot USB, & everything else, just when I hit power the phone doesn't boot, But, it does turn on, So, I believe we can fix this...
I deleted the recovery.img file, by accident off my SD card, But, this phone had this problem long before I did that, so, that obviously isn't the problem..,
I can't wait if I EVER get this thing on, as I hear a new radio helps Battery Life, I was runnin' ALL stock equiment 2 weeks ago...Phone's been off almost that Long, I want a workin' phone, I'm goin' through Android withdrawls...(They are VERY bad...)

You are not understanding what ezterry is asking you to do. Open a cmd propmpt on your computer, plug a USB into your phone, boot to fastboot (CAMARA+POWER), and type on your computer:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery
