OK so ive had my G1 got 7 months or something like that and I rooted it a number on months ago and began flashing different roms, Ive never really had any problems with that at all but now after flashing KiNgxKxlick-AOSP2.1-v1.5 my phone went all haywire. I know you do all ov this at your own risk and i was and am aware ov that. so once i rebooted my phone it kept freezing, so naturally i rebooted in recovery with the latest version ov amen-RA and I went to wipe and the first one was ok, then the dalvic/cashe wouldnt work, said to fix in consol, i tried the next options in this menu and none ov them involving the sdcard worked. so i went to flash another rom and all ov a sudden it started saying "Can't mount SDCARD" So I used a card reader to format the card like i have done before and again it would not work on the phone but worked fine on all my computers. i tries this with a number ov sdcards and no luck. so as a last ditch effort i followed the unlockr and tried to unroot the phone, i thought it worked. G1 sign came up, old android logo came up and it loaded just fine, but as things never go as planned is boots up saying no sim card emergence calls only. Now i am officially out ov ideas. I love my G1 and the fact you can do whatever you want to it and that it had a qwerty keyboard and not all touch screen. I need to find out if i can fix this or if i have to get a new phone, the problem is i dont really like any ov the other phones out now. but ill take any and all advice i can. thank you for your time.

I'm having some real issues it seems. I recently rooted my g1 about 2 weeks ago I'm running jf 1.5.1. My problem is that as soon as I rooted my phone I started to get all kinds of messages on my phone about my apps not responding no matter what I was doing, even apps I wasn't using the one i get the most is for bugreport. then last night when I was doing some stuff on my computer while I was charging my g1 with the usb, I made the most retard mistake ever when I set my comp to sleep I forgot I was charging and I didn't eject. Now when ever i try to use my phone for more then a call or a text Its crashes to the boot screen with the G1 symbol and then restarts. And yes this also damaged my Sd card, I reformatted it last night and it was fine then this morning when it crashed again It said my sd card was damged and i need to reformat it again, I figured **** it I will buy a new one, a much better one then I had before because I run swapper so I figure that swapper had something to do with it bricking my sd card
as you can probably tell from reading this I am new to this rooting stuff and I really just want it to work right If you need more information just tell me I will gladly do anything I possible can to have my phone work smoothly again, I reside in Las vegas If any one is from there that is willing to help me I will gladly even bring it to you.
Thank you for your time.

do a wipe and flash a new rom
So basicly just re root the phone? If I do this can you tell me what I will lose in my phone? also will this completely fix my problem or is my actual phone damgaged?
will this also fix my sd?
bump bump bump
You don't have to reroot. Just get another rom or reflash the same rom and see if it still happens.
Just wipe and reflash..
however I like your idea better, buy a new G1 and send me your old on, everyone wins!
So I wiped my G1 and flashed Jf 1.5.1 abd1 onto it again and it seems to be working fine again, can any one tell me if there was a better choice then the jf rom? So know that I'm basicly back to square one,can any one point me to a thread or site that will tell me how to get the most out of it both app wise and performance wise.
thanks for the help from ever one who posted,I think I'll be stick'n to this forum for all of my android related questions, " oh **** do I hear dontation"!!!!

I guess maybe you missed the whole development section?
Was updating my G1 and bricked it when I installed the SPL from http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
This had root access before I messed it up.
I've tried all booting methods. Camera and Power, Home Power, etc. and nothing gets me out of the T-Mobile G1 screen.
Please advise if this can be fixed.
congratulations if you cant do anything with those buttons you have now bricked your phone, it makes a nice looking paperweight tho, there is no way to fix what you have done
I REALLY hope you flashed the Radio first like it said so in the instructions... But I guess it doesn't matter now, you are bricked sir =/. I hope you still have the warranty or insurance...?
There is a thread some where on here claimong some type of method to get a new one or something you should look for it n see if it helps u n any way
if you still have a warrenty....say this
"after months of waiting i finally recieved the 1.6 update. but after the phone rebooted it wouldnt start up. i have tried everything the guides on the internet say about how to get it working again and nothing worked. the guides all said that if you cant get to the 'recovery screen' or something like that then you cant fix it..."
wing it along those lines....it works
and next time please post in the correct section - questions go in the QnA section
sidenote - if its a tmobile UK or USA one this will work
if its rogers Canada it wont as there is no 1.6 for rogers dream
did you remember to back it up before you done anything - if so do try the following as this fixed mine when i had that issue
remove and replace battery
boot into recovery mode
use the restore option and restore from backup
if you can get into fastboot then you maybe able to push a new recovery and spl but not sure so you will need to search the forums
as stated, they cant get in, unfortunately
I would say act more innocent than what you say.
Guides, recovery, 1.6 update etc.. would all ring alarm bells for me if I worked for tmobile.
Just say it said something about an update, you clicked ok, it restarted and then wouldnt come back.
Dont mention recoverys, 1.6, guides online etc....
i found that acting intelligent worked better coz 'an intelligent person would never **** up their phone'
and edited version:
"i woke up yesterday and my phone said 'update available' so i hit ok. once it was finished my phone wouldnt turn on - it just got stuck at the G1 screen"
Short Story: GPS didn't work on my G1 so I unrooted for warranty return. After dropping to RC29 my update came and it bricked the phone.
Garok89's statement below is almost verbatum what I told the rep. New phone 3 days later.

btw.....
i live in Asia....God
well i would try to act dumb first, but then if they start trying to give you hassle, little by little pile on your knowledge of the phone, if you live in asia and cant do anything about it, just make a call to the corporate office and handle it with them, the minute a business this big hears the words "corporate office" im sure they will find a solution for you.
My nook was rooted and I was happily using it for about 3 weeks.
It was a ver. 1.0.0 model.
One night I went to turn it on and it wouldnt come on. I thought somehow the battery must have drained out. I plugged it in when I got home, but after a while I tried to start it and it still wouldnt.
What I have noticed is that the backlight comes on, changes intesity a couple times, goes off and then comes back on, like some sort of loop.
There is no message screen or N screen. There is no booting from SD, as far as everything I've tried to burn to SD and boot from.
I've tried all the key combos, some result in different variations of the backlight sequence but nothing else.
I think it is caught in some sort of loop before looking for any bootable system.
I want to try everything I (and everyone else) can think of before I go to the trouble of shipping it back to B&N.
Can you put the original stock system on an SD, even though I doubt it would boot from that either, but just a thought.
Thanks,
Phil
Looks like you are going to be enrolling in the NC advanced class. I really can't help on this but this weekend I plan one doing a the group install internally and I should be knowledgable afterwards.
Start by looking into creating the froyo image one a sdcard. There is a thread. The NC should be able to boot from that card. If it does great. Now look for thread about recovering images and using dd to write images. Someone did post the stock images 1.01
have you tried booting Nookie Froyo through an SD card? Then you could probably flash a stock rom (zip is in the forums) and restore.
Froyo
Yeah, I have Froyo on an SD card right now. Doesnt make a difference.
I have pretty much run out of things to try, unless there is some new, secret key combo that fixes everything.
I really don't think its even getting to the OS, I think I must have some real hardware failure that has nothing to do with the stock or rooted OS.
Sounds like it may be time for a warranty claim...

i agree, if its not even getting to the point where it can boot from sd then theres nothing that i can think of that will work, at the point your at i dont think it can recognize any button input or usb data as there literally is nothing it knows how to do
Is this possibly the first successful Bricking?
I hope not!! Keep us posted on what works and what doesn't work.
Good luck, mate.
Cheers!
Received new Nook Color.
Well I did a warranty claim.
It was a very long wait on the B&N help line. I hung up and used the online chat window. That was a very long wait as well, about 25 minutes, but I finally got through.
After explaining all the things I tried and what the nook was doing, she wanted me to hold the power button for 10 seconds. I was like, "Ok, I've tried holding it for several minutes at a time, several hundred times, but what the hell." Then she wanted to know if I dropped it or not. Mine was pristine though, not even a scratch.
So finally she said I qualified for a replacement.
The deal is they give you a ups shipping label and they ship you a new Nook. If they determine that your nook got wrecked because of your own stupidity or whatever they bill you for the new one. She said the new one would ship the next day, but it didn't ship for over a week. I shipped mine the next day with the label they sent me.
So now finally I have my new nook. I haven't rooted it yet, though I probably will. I don't believe my problem was ever related to the software things I did, I dont believe that could wreck the hardware.
Also I never mentioned rooting it or anything.
Did you try burning CWR onto a SD card and seeing if it boots?
surprised it took this long, had counted myself one of the lucky ones.... even though i was one of the unfortunate saps whose phone came with the three button recovery disabled, (a two week trip to samsung for repair).... was running darky's rom 9.3 and various eaarlier versions since october with no problems... today google voice started force closing so i tried to reboot the phone and it would not boot up again... i went into recovery and tried a wipe, still no go.... then i tried to reinstall the rom, still no go.... when it is booting up it just keeps looping the loading screen and vibrates once, then pause, then three times... i can get into recovery and download mode.
anywhose my questions are this,
A) best way to determine that the SD is in fact bricked.....
B) best way to get a bricked SD card back to stock so i can send it back to samsung for warranty.
C) if i get it back fixed from samsung, should i try to off this piece of Sh*t phone that has given me, and others soooooo many problems. that is to say, has anyone who has had their phone fixed recently had their new SD card go corrupt again??
P.S. never buying anything samsung ever again, PERIOD!!, had a 30 inch monitor of theirs recently go bad as well, like i dont care if they cure cancer, bring peace to the middle east, and resurrect jesus!!! i still wouldnt buy a rememberance day poppy from them!!!!!!!
Do you know what bootloader was running when it bricked? ie was it JL2?
Hi hello howdy!
I'm going to skip the foreplay cose the action here is pretty weird and you'll want to get right in, trust me.
I've a Galaxy S3 Mini GT-8190L, that reboots itself, after it has booted up, and I entered the sim pin and lock pattern I've from seconds to 5 min of grace before the phone restarts itself. I have tried two different batteries and the problem persists. I went and decided to rule out hardware problems (power bttn) and after some tinkering, ruled that out too. So now my best guess is firmware.
The phone is not rooted, does not have recovery mode installed, and is running stock 4.1.2 jelly bean with TouchWiz, no mods, no hack-y stuff, your old regular samsung s3 mini.
I tried installing CM11 with odin, and didn't work. But not because odin threw an error, no, that went on perfectly according to the program. But when the phone booted up, the rom was still stock, nothing changed, and it rebooted itself briefly. Weird. So then I thought "well, maybe at least the recovery mode is there now" since it supposedly was a package install. But no, when I tried to boot onto recovery the phone gets stucked on the boot screen with the samsung brand and model of the phone, and then restarts itself, this happens like four times and then the phone boots normally, the OS starts, everything loads and then goes on to restarting. So this was not a solution either.
Next I though, well lets just install the recovery, no, that didn't work, odin said that the install was successful but it was not. Tried with odin 3.04, .07 and .09, tried CW and TWR, neither of them load, as before, when trying to boot to recovery the phone displays the splash and the reboots itself like four times before starting up the OS.
Next I though well, lets try to root this thing, at this point I was just trying anything to see if anything sticked, but nothing, tried SuperOneClick, and no. Wanted to try TowelRoot but that uses an apk. I tried vRoot against my best judgement, but that didn't work, but not because of the reasons you might think, it did install, the phone managed to stay on for enough time for it to get running, but when it restarted, there was no app there, it was as if nothing was installed just a few second ago. I thought "huhh? That's really weird". So I went and did some testing on this matter.
It turns out that no matter what I do, I can install an app, delete 5 apps, change settings, and nothing sticks, when the phone restarts it goes back to the way it was, its like the phone lost the short memory and its like that Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore's movie, 50 First Dates. The phone rollsback to the state it was when everything began.
I even tried to change something quick, and restart myself the phone to see if that would make the change stick, but no, that didn't work either.
So, I came up with a brilliant idea, look up a similar case on internet, 'cose you know, it has to have happened to someone else before me. But this is so weird that looking it up is a challenge by itself. I tried a few things here and there but nothing does it. So now I'm here writing my sci-fi story looking for some feedback on how can this story be ended without killing any of the characters, I want everyone to survive and work again. You know, happy endings.
Any ideas on what can be the problem? Seen anything like this before?
