so i have a bricked tmobile g1 on my hands. my friend tried to flash haykuro's spl and did it wrong so now the phone is effed it does not say "tmobile G1" at the bootup screen, it says HTC and stays there. trying to get to bootloader and recovery mode is impossible because the phone will not go into those modes. the spl is a "danger spl". is there any possible way to fix this?
as of right now...no there is no way to fix this...
sorry
if ur phone is under warranty just call tmobile and say ur phone would not turn on after a backup app asked u to restart ur phone
worked for me with the same problem
flashed the spl before the radio and bricked. called them and told them an app caused it and got my device within a week :-D
Ask for a replacement, and lie about what happened
But yeah, your current G1 is bricked if you cannot access recovery or bootloader.
It's a bad sign that it says htc and not g1 on the boot screen. If they see that then they might charge you because it's obvious you flashed the wrong spl for the phone.

it seems like you're pretty bricked.
Please give more information on your procedure.
If you cannot boot into recovery (home + power) or the bootloader (camera + power) then it is most likely bricked. If you have insurance, just tell T-Mobile that your phone told you that there was an update available, and when you clicked OK, the phone restarted and then you were stuck at the G1 screen.
um
well i dont know anything how to flash cyanogen
on the jachero page it said get the latest spl so i updated and after that canot go into recovery

if you dont even know what your putting on your phone, you kinda deserved it...
Use your warranty, tell them there was an over the air update and ur phone ran out of battery in the middle of it.... and read up/think before doing something like that again...
theres really nothing you can do now. You need to give us more detailed procedures if you want a second opinion
well
i did know what to do but since i already have the latest radio then i just put the spl and if i get another g1 if i already have the hard spl do i need to put the latest because igot the hard spl from another forum but since the jachero page told me to update it i did that maybe i dont have the latest radio but no since anymore and thank you i will tell tmobile i got a ota but didnt the ota thing stop like 3 weeks ago i dont think they will believe me that i just got an ota barely

So? Just say that you had your phone off for a few weeks cuz you went on vacation and chose to bring another phone for safety's sake, and when you got back, you turned on the phone and presto! OTA update...

1) Use full stops, 'cos that's near impossible to read.
2) No, hard SPL will not work you need Haykuro's SPL.
3) Your phone will only have bricked it you had the old radio OR you did not have a PVT board. Did you look in the bootloader before you flashed the new one? I'm guessing not.
4) Luckily there was a security (I think it was security) update that was just released, so they shouldn't qustion it.
ok sorry
Ithink the warranty will cover it
I would go with the OTA story especially since there was just an OTA update released that has been pushed to phones over the last few days. I know a few people who also didn't read up before they started flashing and they too bricked their phones however, the OTA story worked most of the time. This is really your only choice seeing that you don't have insurance on the phone. Good luck
Just use the OTA story again lol
Tmobile wont hassle you too much about it.
Make sure you download the Radio that Haykuro provided, flash it, then boot into the bootloader to make sure it reads properly. Also verify that you have a PVT board.
Put the update.zip with the SPL on your phone AND VERIFY THE MD5 CHECKSUM (you should do it with the radio too actually)
and continue to follow the proper directions.
If you brick after following that, use the OTA story again but stick to HardSPL lol
what is checksum and pvt board?

PVT board is the board that won't brick when flashed with the Danger SPL. Just another design. You can check your board revision by booting into bootloader (camera+power).
md5 checksum is a special key that is tied to the file that is generated based on that file. If the file that you downloaded is corrupt or different compared to the original file, the md5checksum will be different, letting you know that you need to re-download the file or risk a brick.

nothing you can do. its bricked. call tmo or get it replaced by whatever warranty you have
well im getting a replacement g1 and i wanna root it again but i dont wanna brick it and theres a post that is here on xda and its called
"how to root, flash recovery cyanogen, parition sd to fat , ext2 and 3 , how to flash radio nd spl and install jachero"
is this a good post?
Thanks guys this helped a lot wow its been almost 2 years so yea thanks a lot guys
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
heres the scenario i did, i basically did hard spl on my device, it rebooted itself and then nothing is happening further from there. Device boots up all i see is ROGERS and thats it. pressing power and camera button doesnt do anything, pressing power and home button also doesnt do anything. Please help.
did you put the 1.33.2005 spl from the rogers heres your real root thread of the hard spl floating around on all the other rooting threads?
yes thats true i used one of the hard spl from here....but im running out of luck....need assistance please
if your phone will not boot into either bootloader (camera and power) or recovery (home and power) then you have a brick, i hope your phone is still under warranty
I dont know if its still under warranty, coz i didnt get this phone from rogers, i bought it off from someone.......it was a brand new one....so im hoping for some good knews from somewere....

sorry... but it won't boot using those keypresses then it is a brick...
when you have it plugged up to a computer does it make any kind of sound when the boot screen is on?
it doesnt makes any sound, but somethings does comes in device manager but nothing is listed in there.....i have a feeling its bricked but hoping there should be some way to get in n fix this
Im using Rogers HTC Dream
I flashed the ADP1 Radio 2.22.19.16i from the Developer HTC website
My SPL is 1.33.0010
Then when i reboot the phone it stuck @splash screen showing "ROGERS"
And i cannot go to the SPL Screen or Recovery?
Is it broken? I only know if flash the SPL will break the phone, so the radio does?
Can you reboot by holding Green + Red + Menu? If you remove and put the battery back in, and hold Camera + Power, does anything come up? Can take a few seconds...
If anything comes up, things can be fixed and you should be fine.
No...
It doesnt work to me...
Cannot reboot use Call+MENU+Hang
Real Brick?!
well if you cant get in recover or anything sounds like it is.hold home plus power to see if it will go in recovery or not if you can get it there it's not bricked but if not thn yep it's bricked.if so call rodgers or who ever your service provider is and go that route .just say it's mess up .
this is really messed up because i started with same rogers htc dream as you and first tried to flash spl and got a brick. you tried radio first and got a brick. what are we supposed to do? can radio and spl be flashed at the same time?
this brick is caused by flashing the wrong radio on the wrong phone...... radios are just capable of bricking phones as the SPL.....
also, the radio may be incompatible with your spl
not sure 100% its a brick, maybe there is a solution. but im 90% sure its bricked if you cant access anything. try letting it sit on tht screen for a few minutes, it may take time to update
I have the Rogers HTC Dream and I was going to update the radio blah blah to the 2.22.19.26I one so I put the radio on the sd card and in preparation I was going to do nadriod. But I wasn't paying attention at all and flashed the radio instead (I am an idiot).
Now it is just stuck on the Rogers screen and holding the home button or the camera button doesn't do anything.
I am fooked arn't I
Any help?
Bricked....try looking into this....its cheapier than buying a new phone.

Im sorry for your phone...
Can you get into adb at all? I didn't do that exact issue, but one time I did something that screwed up some things, I couldn't boot the phone or get into recovery, but I was able to adb into it, reapply the recovery.img and then get into recovery to reflash a ROM and everything else.
Computer doesn't recognize the phone at all
I phoned and told them that the new update for the 911 fix bricked it. They said they will send me a new one and if there is no water or hardware damage it will be covered. It's not water damage and it's not hardware damage (it's software ) so I will see what happens.
They didn't mention anything about software and they might not check so I might get lucky.
so your comp doesn't recognize it in fastboot also?
i thought i was bricked till i realized that RA Recovery 1.5.2R didn't work when i downgraded my EBI1 radio to .26I one. had to load 1.5.2w/o R to make things work again.
then again, im all new at this stuff (just a few days). so i might not even know what the hell im doing.
yes your right that I would need a new recovery also but it is too late now as I can't get into fastboot or recovery and computer doesn't recognize my phone while it is stuck on the Rogers Logo.
I assume the new dream that they send will already have the new SPL, radio and rom so hopefully someone will be able to root the new "perfected" SPL by the time that I get it .
I saw in the Saphire section that you should beable to use a goldcard but I am not sure if that works for the Dream also... I guess I will find out once I get my new Dream.
Are you sure its not finished installing yet? It took two reboots and a few minutes to install the radio on my phone. I couldnt do anything and I was really scared, but then I just left it on and it finished on its own=p GL
Help I think my HTC G1 got bricked, I have read and followed a wiki on how to root and upgrade G1 Android OS. I have successfully rooted the phone, but when I installed deathspl i forgot install the radio 2.2.xx. After deathspl reboot my phone got stucked on AT&T G1 screen.
Can somebody help me?
Thank you in advance.
its truly bricked... flashing a radio/spl incorrectly will render your phone unusable... you could always Jtagg itif you have any tech knowledge... there is a tutorial around here somewhere
shes a brick houseeeeeeee
So my phone is trully bricked... BTW is there a special device for JTAG?
From your description yes it's bricked. BUT if you can get into recovery mode with power + home, then your not bricked. You would just need to install a rom ontop.
If you cant get into recovery mode. then yeah bricked. or you can try using that dreaimg. whatever file to see if you can reset things. happened to me back then almost a year ago when i first rooted my phone.
