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.

thank you very much

Thanks!!
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
8gig Class 6 (100MB Swap, 1024MB ext4, 6893 Fat32)
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

Stuck @ T-mobile G1 Screen

I really need help! Ok so here's the deal: I flashed the new RA-dream v1.3.2 recovery this morning and coming from MLIGN 3.0 Hero I wiped EVERYTHING the recovery allowed me to: data + cache, Dalvik-cache, battery stats? and rotate settings along with repartitioning my sd card. After that I wanted to go back to Cyanogen's 4.2.3.1 so I wiped but it now won't go past the Tmobile G1 Screen! I've tried everything, including flashing other Rom's wiping partitioning again, letting it stay at the screen for and hour! all in all I can't get past it, but I can get to recovery.. did I do something wrong? any help would be great cause till then, I'm phoneless

when you do an adb logcat, are you seeing a restart loop?

Theme issue/possible brick?

I apparently am retarded. let me first off say that. Second, you are all Gods to begin with, however immortal Gods can you give me the knowledge to fix my issue.
I am running CM +JF 1.4 on my T-Mobile G1. Everything went pretty smooth, no large issues.
Used the CM Updater found on the market to find a couple of themes. Tried the Alien theme, no problems, checked out Enoch's theme, pretty nice, then tried "Marks Theme" and when I rebooted, the phone froze on the splash screen that says "Tmobile G1" I booted into recovery mode and wiped the data, and tried to reapply a different theme, with no success. It still just stays frozen on the splash screen. Any help would be SOOOOOOo appreciated. I would be fine with even a full wipe as long as I can get back up and running.

Just do a full wipe and reflash your rom.
..awww I miss JF.

Also, I cannot get the phone or the computer now to recognize my 8GB card. My 1GB card recognizes fine though.

I had a friend who helped me mod it, and I am unsure of the exact steps. when you say a FULL WIPE, is that the wipe you are referring to through the recovery console?

It might be corrupted, you can probably still reformat it from console via parted.

I downloaded the current stable version from
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Latest_version
to my SD card, renamed it to update.zip, then inserted it into the phone. I booted into recovery mode. I clicked wipe data, I then clicked apply update.zip, it said it verified the image, then installed the image. It still hangs at the splash screen.

Do you have a nandroid back up in recovery that you can go to? If so that would be the best route. If not then I suggest doing a full data/dalvik/ext wipe and reinstall your rom.

I am a moron....Please delete....
I was trying to use too new of a rom with older files.....i was using a version 5 because i was too retarded apparently to read that it wasn't compatible the way I was trying to do it. I am back up and running again. Sorry for the waste of time and space
thanks,
mike

We all have our moments. And it's not a waste of time =D

[Q] Boot loop after installing Danger SPL, Cyanogenmod 6.1 and Google Apps

I'm helping a friend with a hand-me-down G1 upgrade from 1.6 to CyanogenMod 6.1 using the wiki cyanogen links, which basically told me to downgrade to RC29 / RC7 DREAIMG.nbh file after reformatting the sdcard, then root the phone using telnet, flash Amon_Ra's Recovery using telnet, flash 2.22.23.02 radio using recovery, then install dangerspl, cyanogenmod 6.1 and tiny google apps.
As far as I know, I followed every step. I did get stuck a couple of times while installing DangerSPL. I'd fastboot and hit call+menu+end and instead of rebooting, it would install dreaimg.nbh again (since I used fastboot to flash dreaimg.nbh earlier and still had it on the root of the sdcard) and I would have to start over again and re-root, re-flash Amon_Ra's Recovery and the 2.22.23.02 radio. That happened twice before I decided to take dreaimg.nbh off of the sdcard, since I realized that it had already been flashed onto the phone and would probably work. Once I did that, the call+menu+end during fastboot worked and it restarted, which is what it was supposed to do. Kept trying and trying to hit the home button as quickly as possible to get to recovery, like the instructions said, but it wouldn't work. So I took a chance and booted into recovery using home+power and flashed Danger SPL, which seemed to install well, and Cyanogenmod 6.1 and tiny google apps. All seemed to be going well until rebooting the system. The cyanogenmod splash screen popped up after the g1 screen and just sits there, stuck in a boot loop. I waited a good 10 minutes before I pulled the battery and tried again...same thing. Also wiped the dalvik cache and cache, which i saw on the first page of this thread, to no avail. Can anyone tell me where I went wrong and what I can do to pull out of it and successfully install this rom? Really want to get this back to my friend. Also hoping his contacts are still on his sim card after all this... I flashed dreaimg.nbh, per the first step, and noticed that the contacts didn't come up after this. The data on the phone works and the phone number shows up under about phone but since I haven't gotten any further than that OS I can't tell. No where have I seen in the instructions that I had to pull my sim card before flashing... hope it's all good. Any help with any of this would be greatly appreciated.
As you can tell, I'm new to all this. I own a Samsung Moment and flash ROM's on it all the time but that process is much simpler than this one. Have never dealt with a boot loop so I'm a little unsure of what to do.

Trouble with CM7.2 install (disregard, fixed)

I've tried repeatedly to install CM7.2 and keep getting stuck on a blank screen. I'll see a "CyanogenMod" then "loading..." right below that. Then it goes blank and nothing ever happens after that.
Some background info. I've had CM7 installed on this in the past without problems. Months ago I went back to a rooted stock. Then yesterday I decided to try CM9 alpha. That installed perfectly. But it was too slow, so I decided to try CM7.2.
I used the same CWM 1GB boot SD, copied "encore_CM72-MiRaGe-02012012.zip" along with the Gingerbread Gapps and CWM. Installed in the same order and wipe data/factory reset.
So I got stuck on that blank screen after the CyanogenMod loading... message. I then decided restore to stock. Installed the 1.01 stock image. It also wouldn't boot up, but I powered it on and off 8 times and it did a factory reinstall and then it booted up normally.
Once back at a factory fresh system. I powered it off and tried installing CM7.2 again. Unfortunately I'm having the same problem again. Ugh, why won't it load now.

Hang on... I might be in the process of making a newb mistake. MD5 didn't match on my SD card, probably the ROM.ZIP is corrupted. Trying again with a good copy.

That was it. It's working now. Please disregard my idiot on the Internet moment. Thank you.

You always figure it out five minutes after you finally give up and post for help/venting.
Been there.
