Something very odd has happened. I reverted my phone back to stock via the .nbh file. Now when i reroot it and install cynagens recovery image it completes and when i try to boot the phone into recovery it freezes at the T-Mobile G1 screen and i have to pull out the battery to turn off the phone. anyone know the reason why my phone does this?
firstly, wrong section
secondly....can you boot normally? or in to fastboot (camera+power)?
if you can do any of these, then contrats....you bricked it
Edit: Oh ok my bad My eyes passed over the recovery and I thought he meant just rebooting.
try connecting your phone to your computer and do an adb logcat to see if its doing anything.
if you manage to get adb working while the phone is in the G1 screen then try fastbooting a new recovery image.
Moved as not Android Development.
he cant wipe and reflash if he cant get in to recovery
did you try going into terminal and flashing another recovery? maybe the file was corrupt

exactly.
I haven't been able to get ADB working with my phone. Yes i can boot normally and yes i can boot into fastboot. once I root the phone, I've tried to flash roms through the stock recovery, i cant seem to flash anything as i get an error. I have done this before multiple times on many of my friends phones. i followed the guide on wiki, stock g1 to cynagenmod, once I've flashed the cynagen recovery image my phone freezes at the T-Mobile G1 screen once I enter recovery.

Yes I tried flashing Amon Ra Recovery with the same result.
http://cyanogenmod.com/download/recovery/cm-recovery-1.4.img
Go to terminal emulator and type:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img [enter]
Did you try using fastboot to erase the existing recovery and then install a new one?

Yea, do that. There's no reason that should be happening. Did you use the good ol' fashioned flashrec.apk? That's how I got my first recovery and started flashing (from stock.)
whats the error you get flashing? i know when i rooted my phone i Fd up by doing the OTA update. it removed the flash command from terminal and console. i had to go at it again. start fresh. downgrade, root....

when i run into an error i downgrade with the .nbh file that i got off the cynagen wiki and try again.
where do you get the error?(or is the "error" it not doing what you want?)
in terminal emulator? did you reboot to recovery from terminal after? or with the end button? (type: reboot recovery[enter] in terminal)
are you giving it enough time to actually flash the recovery before you pull the bat? (sometimes it takes a lil bit)
try erasing the recovery image via fastboot.
then flash the Amon_RA recover image.

Well the thing is, I'm not getting an error. Here I'll explain step by step what i did. Maybe I did something wrong.
1) Placed the DREAMIMG.nbh file from wiki in the root of my sd card.
2)Pressed power and camera button to get the phone to bootloader. Followed the onscreen instructions to install the image.
3)Went through the sign in steps to get my phone to the home screen.
4)Followed the steps on wiki to root the phone pressed enter twice and typed "telnetd".
5)opened market and downloaded telnet.
6)pulled out my sdcard and put the cm-recovery-1.4.img on my sdcard.
7)opened telnet hit connect.
8)typed flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img and waited for the ## after that. like it says in the wiki.
9)placed the files from the wiki on the sdcard.
10)reboot the phone to recovery via power and home button. but this is where my phone freezes at the T-Mobile G1 screen.
11)pulled out the battery after waiting 10 min and just pressed the power button and the phone booted up fine. tried again via the telnet and typed "reboot recovery" same result.
12) i reformated my sdcard placed the DREAMIMG.nbh and tried steps 1-11 with same result.
i have even tried a different recovery Amon Ra's recovery as well with the same result. and worst of all ive been a few days with the 1.0 software without an ota update.
any suggestions?
This isnt the first time ive done this with a G1. ive even done this on my wifes MT3G and it worked flawlessly. Ive done it on 2 othe G1's but mine wont seem to take it. whats the deal?
I am noticing a something when under original recovery. Something that i havent seen until now. when i press alt + L it brings up the text and it says " Android system recovery utility E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command"
then it brings up usual commands like Alt + L, Alt+S, and Alt+W. but when i try to install even the official updates it says
Installing from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:No signature (5 files)...
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted.
Press Home+Back to reboot
could this mean anything or be the reason for the problems im running into?
it might just be that the ROM you were trying to flash wasnt signed correctly.

I am very new at the whole root and rom process so i took the time to read through to forums to see if i could walk through it to get a rom.
When i tried to root my phone everything was okay, but when it was finished it said press the action key, instead of rebooting. when i pressed the action key it went back to the original screen and said serial0.
I went through all that because when i tried to install the rom, it said no signature and verification failed.
can some one help me fix this?
thanks in advance.

What ROM are you trying to install? It's a problem with the ROM most likely, not your phone.

It's hard to tell how far you got in the root process.. When you reboot into recovery (Home+Power) what does the screen look like?
Like the other poster said, it could be a problem with the ROM. But it could also be that you have the stock recovery image (which won't flash a modded ROM, since it is signed with the wrong keys).
i am trying to install the newest Cyanogen rom and i probably have the stock recovery img... how do i get a new one, i believe i downloaded my from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480 but there is a possibility i didnt..
Not knowing where you are in the process of getting root, it's probably best to assume you don't have it, and go ahead and make sure your phone is fully rooted first. I read a few guides when I was starting - the first one that really made a lot of sense was Gizmodo's:
http://gizmodo.com/5146797/how-to-hack-android-for-multitouch-web-browsing-on-the-t+mobile-g1
Follow that, step by step. If any step doesn't react the way they say it will, you may need to start over. Once you finish that guide, you should be able to flash nearly any other ROM (other than Hero ROMs that need the "Danger" SPL - avoid until you study more).
After you've completed the guide for rooting, you can upgrade to the Cyanogen recovery (awesome because it lets you backup & restore your phone on the go, no PC needed) and CyanogenMod 3.6.5
Download this:
http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/cm-recovery-1.3.1-signed.zip
Rename it to update.zip
Put it on the root of your SD card
Reboot into recovery (Home+Power)
Alt-S to flash it
Home+Back to reboot
Then download this:
http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/update-cm-3.6.5-signed.zip
Rename it to update.zip
Put it on the root of your SD card (replace the last file we put there)
Reboot into recovery (home+power)
Alt-W to wipe
Alt-S to flash
Home+Back to reboot
Then you're all set. If you get lost at any point, just come back and tell us what's going on.
thanks Saiboogu. i got to the telnet, but when trying to connect to local host is says error while connecting to server error while receiving from server: null

OK - So you flashed DREAIMG.NBH, right? Go to Settings > About phone and scroll down to Build number - make sure it says RC29 somewhere in that string.
If that's right, just make sure you are launching telnetd correctly..
Press Home
Press Enter
Press Enter
type telnetd
Press Enter
You should wind up in your contacts searching for "telnetd" - if that's what you see, you probably did it right.
Then try the telnet client again. If that doesn't do it.. Sorry, I'm stumped. Hopefully someone else will chime in.
When i typed in [enter] [enter] telnetd [enter] nothing happens. it just remains as being searched...
also it is RC29

That sounds right -- All you'll see is the phone searching your contacts for telnetd, but if you did that exactly right, it should have run in the background. Then, run the telnet app on the phone and connect to localhost... Work this time?
Thanks that was the porblem.. i was able to get into the root and install the Cyanogen fine, but now that it is booting up the android screen tries to load then flickers, and it is stuck in this rotation....
That's a boot loop. Did that happen as soon as you installed CM3.6.5? Sounds like you need to flash again, maybe download and then flash again - sometimes the download can get corrupted. Also, make sure you wipe *first,* then flash. If you do it the other way, things can break.
nevermind i just wiped it again then reinstalled it and it worked, thanks so much for your help, i would have never finished this without yuo!
No problem at all, glad you got it. Now that you're all set, make sure you boot into recovery and perform a Nandroid backup - gives you lots of freedom to try things, knowing you can come back to a good working copy.
thanks thats great advice knowing me its only a matter of time!
So . i am trying to install the CyanogenMod. I had rc30, downgraded, rooted (by doing this: http://bit.ly/vk4n). then i made the flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img thing. finally i started up in recovery mode, applied the DRC83 file and the rom. I restarted the phone, i could see the "T-Mobile G1"-logo, then it disappeard, then CyanogenMods' blue logo appeared.. After a while, it disappeard and a blank, black screen appeared, and nothing happend since then..
So, i would like to try again, i installed the RC29 again, but now, i cant attach the phone to my computer, it simply doesnt detect it. (cant connect to adb shell to do the wi-fi registering). So i tried to boot up in recovery mode again, but this is what i get:

If you reinstall the RC29 you lose root and you didnt install the radio needed for custom roms.
i installed a file called "DRC83_base_defanged" . what is it?
and how do i install the radio?
Btw. I followed this guide: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
Bump.
What should i do :/
My computer doesnt detect my phone, i cant do the registering via wifi trick :S
I just want my phone back to its normal state with rc30, able to connect to computer and able to go to recovery mode.
I installed the rc30, but cant figure the other things out

You should follow 1 click root guide..its pretty simple..
when you see that screen. hit alt+l i think to pull up the recovery menu.
if you don't have a card reader, you can mount your g1 through the console on your recovery menu. just google "mount g1 through console" for directions. hope that helps you get the right files on your phone to flash.
good luck!
Okay so im sure the answers for this are here in this forum, but this forum is huge and Ive been working on this for 2 days now. Just got a G1. Want to put ANY rom on it at this point. Ive tried following the "[GUIDE] STOCK-2-CYANOGEN" sticky in the development forum several times, to a T, and cant seem to even get past the 3rd step.
Ive started this over and over again - here's my process. Put DREAMIMG.nbh on my newly formatted FAT32 2GB SDcard. Reboot, get into bootloader, flash the phone with the update. Phone restarts, I enter my google info in, Im on the phone. I place cm-recovery-1.4.img on the sdcard root (ive tried two others and they have the same outcome) Now I root, which took awhile to work in the first place.. enter enter, telnetd, enter, go to market and download telnet. connect localhost. I type this:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd sdcard
flash_image recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img
cat cm-recovery-1.4.img > /system/recovery.img
....everythings gravy, no errors thrown, etc. I put the Hard SPL update.zip on the root of the sdcard, i shut phone off. Attempt to go to bootloader, it stalls on the G1 splash screen, and Ive waited up to 30 mins, before i ultimately have to remove the battery. I cannot load into, or add a new recovery console so I can even continue attempting to flash ANY rom. SO, I start from scratch...over, and over again. Unroot the phone, reload original bootloader, and they work. 2 days in circles!
Now I normally can figure these types of things out, especially with research that this forum has plenty of, but im at my wits end. WTH am i doing wrong I cant follow these guides any better than word for word! Man Ill PAY someone to just get a rom loaded for me at this point heh
wow that guide is old use this one
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Main_Page#Upgrading_from_Vanilla:_Installing_your_first_mod
okay this is where Im getting hung up on. I did all of that, and once I turn off my phone to install the actual OS, this part "Flash Android1.6 & CyanogenMod latest", i hold home and press power, then the Tmobile G1 splash appears and just hangs... Never proceeds to the recovery option or anything for that matter, without taking out the battery. It doesnt do this when I have it stock, just after i flash cm-recovery-1.4.img
I've no idea if you'll get different results, but you could try flashing Amon_RA's recovery instead of cyanogen's. Just change cm-recovery-1.4.img to recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2.img (or whichever version you choose).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669
Okay so I just used Amon_Ra's, followed the instructions and flashed it via terminal, with no errors, just the same as cm_recovery reacts. Shut off fone, and tried home+power. Its frozen on the G1 splash............... How is it if I actually just revert it back to unrooted stock, the recovery console works fine..but any of the updated ones I need to use to get a ROM just will NOT work..?? Please help, im seriously going on like 17 hours with this thing...I genuinly will pay someone if we get this figured out! So very desperate!
hmm strange.
in terminal type
su <enter>
reboot recovery <enter>
Or from command prompt if you have adb setup
adb reboot recovery <enter>
see if that gets you into recovery correctly.
I apologize, I forgot to mention I had done that also, shortly after my last post.. Its not like im not doin the research here hehe. I did the $su, then reboot recovery. it rebooted, and froze at the same splash. I dont have adb, nor know what it is. This shouldnt be this complicated i wouldnt think. Do u think its something wrong with my phone that I cant simply load an alterate recovery image? I mean, it DID work before I had to continually set this thing back to stock..
just fyi, bc ive seen other ppl have this problem..i resolved the issue by reloading dmd64 firmware, then starting over again. I also used recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2 instead of recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2 or cm_recovery. Not sure if this made a difference in addition to updating to dmd64, but i was finally able to boot in to recovery and flash the images
I've got the exact same problem !!!
I've installed and used custom ROMs for over a year now, and last week I tried to upgrade to CM5 and since then, I haven't been able to use any other custom ROM, only the official HTC ADP1.6 stock ROM (which sucks...).
Each time I install one, it freezes on the G1 screen and nothing happens (even restoring my pre-CM5 nand backup does the same, it freezes on G1 screen )
Haven't had time to try yet (and honestly, I'm a bit tired of reflashing my phone, I need it sometimes and those things take a lot of time...), but I'm going to try switching back from Amon Ra's latest to Cyan's 1.4 recovery, reflash adp1.6 and a superD right after it, without rebooting to see if it works.
I'll let you know if it works (and then wait for official Froyo, if it ever comes out for the G1, with its official Apps2SD...)
okay I followed regs guide and when I reached the part to where I have to run the command to flash the custom recovery image
regaw says it may take many seconds for it to complete
when I do it it takes less than 1 second and when I run the final command to reboot the phone into the recovery menu it simply boots up normal
I have tried booting while holding the home button and still a no go
I think the recovery image isnt flashing into my phone for some reason...
but cmd says it was successful , any help apreciated
can anyone help?
please, I've followed everything as it should be.
I've tried 3 computers(2 running XP , 1 running windows 7)
I've Hard reset the phone everytime I have tried to perform the root
Everytime I flash the recovery img it says its successful but when I place the comand to reboot into recovery my phone freezes and I have to do a battery pull.
I don't get what I'm doing wrong
I have all the files in the correct directory
I have usb debug on
I have set the phone to charge only
I have htc sync installed
any help apreciated :/
just mount your sdcard copy the recovery to it again then try to flash it once more. it could have corrupted the image on the first copy. if that doesnt work. try to download the 1.6.2. recovery image and flash that.

I have root and I've copied damage controls zip to my sd card. I tried rebooting into recovery mode and i get an error picture so I had to reboot.
this is frustrating.. can someone give me step by step including commands that I should type? I can load the sprint 2.1 and unlock (have old version) but right now im as frustrated as all the other noob's.

Hi, I did a search but couldn't find anything, so I'm starting a new thread.
I have a rooted G1 running Froyo For Trout(don't think this is the problem though..). I was in rom manager and was trying to do a backup, but it would just reboot to an endless G1 screen. I took the battery out, and reboot and the OS works completely find. I tried rebooting into recovery from Rom Manager and by pressing home and power, and both just lead me to an endless G1 screen. The OS still loads fine though. I have flashed both Clockwork and AmonRA, and tried both. (I have flashed them from Rom Manager).
So, to sum it up, I was flashing the recovery in rom manager, it says its complete, but I seem to not have a recovery. And I've rebooted into Clockwork and AmonRA before that many times, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Help!
have you tried to flash the recovery through terminal or adb? that is the best way to do it, any ways.... just get the directions from ra's 1.7 post
I'll try that, and let you know if it works!
Edit: One question(probably gonna sound really stupid..), I have DangerSPL. Is that the same as an engineering SPL?

Didn't work. I flashed via terminal application. I typed what was required and pressed enter. Then I closed the terminal, and tried to reboot into recovery with home and power. What did i do wrong?

not trying to be rude, why did you post this in development?
Oops, does this belong in Q/a?
ya Q&A but they will move it eventually... what was the message it gave you after you pressed enter...
I'm wondering if maybe you have a dodgy home button? In terminal emulator have you tried entering reboot recovery?
Try flashing through fastboot or even booting through fastboot...
fastboot boot recovery (then drag and drop recovery int cmd window)
fastboot flash recovery (do the same as boot)

that or try flashing recovery from terminal, not from clockwork`s app.
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img (assuming that you have the recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img file in /sdcard. ) /sdcard will be the fat partition of your sdcard. at least you`ll see if there`s an error on flashing. after the flash_image command, may try to reboot as shadowch31 says. #reboot recovery (that whould reboot straight into recovery (if there is one - if not, reboot it with green+menu+red, let the battery be).
p.s. the death spl is not the same as the engineering spl. from what i know, it is like engineering spl but first of all it resize the partitions of your phone`s internal memory. it`s good that you have death spl.
p.s.2 - "#" symbol means that you run the command with su.
Thread moved to Q&A.
When I tried flashing via terminal app on the phone, it just goes to a new line when I press enter, no confirmation or anything. So should I try in fastboot?

it`s normal to go straight to a new line. you should try to reboot into recovery
Okay, so I put the command into the terminal emulator. Went to the new line, and I waited for a little bit in case it was doing something.. then I did the reboot recovery command and nothing happened.
Now I tried turning off the phone and booting into "recovery" with home and power...endless g1 screen. What do I do next?
I did it via fastboot, and voila I have recovery! Thanks everyone for all their help. Now I can do my nandroid backup
i`m glad that you now have recovery. what did you do on fastboot ? flash_image or reboot recovery ? it`s really strange that the phone do nothing on "reboot recovery" from terminal.
I did flash_image from fastboot.
