If you search the forum, you will find instructions on how to use WIFI rather than a data connection to get past the GMail sign in screen(s).

Help me unbrick my phone

So i just updated to an SPL for a Hero ROM, and now i'm stuck on the t-mobile G1 screen, i can get to the console, but if someone can walk me through how to mount the SD card using ADB (from the very begining) it would be a great help. This way i can try to update the firmware, or resort back to the original radio/spl/firmware. I need a very easy to understand set of instructions, because every time i have tried to do something with ADB it never goes well.
all you need to do is re-flash your current rom your using no wipe needed.
Whats the command to do that, i've been trying to load the new ROM onto the SD card through the command prompt. and it doesn't seem to want to work.
Bassicly i use the adb push command to try and shove a ROM on to the SD card like this
adb push JAChero2.0r6.zip /sdcard/JACHero2.0r6.zip
and then i change the name to update.zip and it still applies the OLD SPL update.zip file i have in there.
Try removing the old update file first through the adb shell. I have run into a couple instances where it is doing what you are describing. I always found that removing the current file first will resolve it.
adb shell
# rm /sdcard/update.zip
# exit
adb push JAChero2.0r6.zip /sdcard/update.zip
Then try to flash the update through recovery.
Got it fixed, THANKS!
im stuck at g1 screen as well....what did you do to fix this?
Im stuck on G1 boot screen, cannot get into FBOOT or anything!
What can I do??
if none of the button combos work like home+power or camera+power or any others then you can either call tmobile and play dumb or have the sweetest paperweight at the office.

Will it cost me if I contact tmo?
I'll play it dumb, but when the phone ends up at some engineer, and they see what I've flashed on, will they just fix it, or report it to tmo? (as i've broken the t&c's!)
As much as having a paperweight sounds cool, I could really do with a phone!
BTW, thanks for your help!

If the phone won't boot using home + camera then they can't prove it's been rooted (unless they somehow read the nand...) so they should replace it for you without charge.. Same thing could happen if the battery was pulled during an over-the-air update.
they wont bother checking anything, just be sure it is bricked and your good. Most likely they just take it apart and jtag it or something like that. And if you got the phone from tmo and are with them then no its free.

Yep, it wont boot using any key-combo.
Its reading the NAND/using JTAG which is what I'd do (i work with embedded devices!).
I might say the battery died while the update was happening, gotta act dumb! (which I must be for managing to brick it in anycase, after all, Im a softy-eng!)
And I'll get a new phone! Or reconditioned?
Many thanks ppl!
Well.
If you manage to help this guy (http://twitter.com/r3nrutSite/) and the ppl on this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309291) to JTAG the G1, please tell me.
I'm stuck with a bricked G1 here in Brazil.
Currently there is no way of bringin a g1 back to life short of giving it a heart transplant<new board>

Tp2 brick eny help??????
plis help
i was unlocking my phone (the HTC Touch Pro 2 <sprint>) and I was using a Diamond unlocker , but during the process there was a connection error and now my phone seems to be bricked. I can't get it to even turn on, get to a bootloader screen, or anything even remotely close.
The one odd thing that it does though, is when I connect it to my computer, it pops up and my computer recognizes there is a device there. In my Device Manager there is an unknown device called: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM. I have tried every combination of two buttons, including holding down the reset button with all of them, but nothing gets me anywhere.
If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it. there's eny way to save it???

Question regarding G1's activation

I am using Cyan mod, and I really wanna try out the Hero's stuffs. My only hesitation is that, my Sim card doesn't have internet and thus, flashing Hero ROMs ( required a wipe ) will lead to re-activating the phone again. Is there an " activate later " option like the one I did in Cyan build ? If there is, then my only problem will be solved. Thanks in advance guys, really appreciate your responses.
you could try it and if it gives u any issues where u cant sign in then flash your nandroid backup and all will be well. if u don't have his recovery image get it now. it has a ton of useful things in it. but if i do remember correctly in the intial boot up of the 1st haykuro released hero it had an option that will allow u to use wifi to do the set up. im not sure if its that way in the other hero roms floating around. just pop in the roms thread that u wanna try out and ask. its worth a shot i guess
Yes hero roms allow you to skip the gmail login and later go and sign in when you have a wifi connection, so go for it

It even asks if you want to connect to WiFi during setup so you don't have to skip it.

I ran task29 but I can change ROM for my phone. help !!!

I assume you mean "can't change"
you should describe your problem in more detail (were you on stock or custom rom before using task29, did you h-spl, do you get an error,...), that's not very much to work with
Mod edit: this it not rom dev related, I will move the thread to general
Sorry I cant* , yes i am on hard spl. I do not have an error and now, I can only see sony icon. since there is no os to boot? still I need to change ROM
Yes, that is normal. Task29 wipes your whole device... That is why your phone can't boot. If you want to flash a new ROM you should connect your phone to your pc, enter bootloader and then follow the steps from the RUU on your pc. Good luck!
So what can I do now? I cant sync it without having it to be able to boot. I assume I cant run ruu with that?
Remove the battery, enter bootloader, pressing down volume button and the power button untill you see the colored lines. Then connect the cable to the phone and run the customruu.exe with the rom file you want to put in
where can I get a bootloader? sheesh sorry for my stupid question
Ehm the bootloader is in your phone. If you press the powerbutton and the volume down button simultaniously the phone will enter bootloader mode.
I thank you very much for everyone helps!
Damn I did what you guys told me. I still failed, i stuck after the tri-colour screen. i mean after the update progress complete.
I ran task29, it is different with flash ROM huh? And now i put xperileo in mcsd and boot it. i stuck after image update.
My bad moderator. Now my bro fix it for me. just left the internet setting, I cant connect to an internet.

Did you reset your phone after the connection setup?
Maybe try unchecking the proxy server if it's checked.
Otherwise maybe check the Maxis website for your internet settings.
proxy are set according to the forum and yea I did reset the phone like they said.
So your problem is fixed now?

would this be of any help you will need to be very carefull using the instructions
hi thanks I have used this way it has removed the sim lock but now it says no network. even wheni check with the *# commands it says off
Hi I had the same issue after i unlocked mine but can't remember if resetting the phone sorted it or whether flashing a new rom fixed it. Try wiping cache and data from recovery [hold home button and power on]
ops think I bricked it with cwm here comes a lot of Googling
:banghead:
can you access the download mode?
do you mean the factory one
by powering off the hold down volume down and home button and try to power on? you should get the yellow triangle with downloading under it.
if you can get into this screen you should be able to reflash a new rom or your old one?
will try that thanks the only life I have got from it so far is that my PC can see it on USB so hoping to flash new recovery and rom via PC
can't get it to charge from USB no life at all now
check this site out there may be some help there?
