G1 Won't boot after wipe. (Black screen) - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently I wiped my G1 because it became so slow, after I wiped it I just pressed back and reboot it, the it boots to T-mobile and then Theme screen, after a while it just stuck on the black screen and won't boot to Home, and the battery became warm, I need to pull out the battery to turn it off.
What should I do here now??
Thanks for any replies

you needed to wipe davlik-cache not the whole phone. wiping the whole phone will break the rom youre running. u need to reflash a rom in order to get your phone to work properly.,

That's the problem... --'
Thanks Brian. Glad I backed up my Rom with nandroid backup.
I'll remember that next time.

Am I Bricked?

Question.
I was on 4.0.4 and the phone started freezing on me. Just freezes and becomes completely unresponsive. To reset I have to pull the battery. Now this had happened about once a day for the last week, but today I had to pull about 12 times. Now 4.0.4 was working well until I tried to go to 4.1.99. That was too laggy and buggy so I restored my nandroid backup. So for the past week I was living with the occasional battery pull.
Tonight, I tried to go to 4.1.9999, and now it freezes on me during the initial sign in process, "SIGNED IN! SLIDE KEYBOARD BACK TO CONTINUE". It does not get past this screen.
I'll do a Nandroid restore to get operational, but that level of operability was pretty weak.
I have AmonRa's recovery, but I only did one wipe prior to the two flashes.
ADDITIONALLY, I try to get to the recovery boot screen now after I pull the battery and the phone wont let me. Still goes right onto the Welcome to TMO G1 Android screen, where it proceeds to lock where I mentioned previously.
Any ideas?
****. I get an ERROR PERFORMING RESTORE! TRY RUNNING 'NANDROID-MOBILE.SH RESTORE' FROM CONSOLE!
The **** has hit the fan!
As of this moment, I can't do a Nandroid restore, and I can't get past the above mentioned slide keyboard back to continue screen. How bad is it?
No. You're not bricked.
When you say you came from 4.04, did you put the htc image and the cyanogen rom on? or did you just try to upgrade?
HTC image first, then the ROM. I wiped first, but only one wipe.
As of right now, I have a phone that won't load beyond that screen. Nandroid wont let me restore.
Help, please?
wipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did. No help.
Wipe, reboot and this is what happens:
HOLY CRAP IT WORKED!!!
thanks guys... lets see its functional at least now.
It says its running 4.1.9999... what do I have to do now?
Your done as long as it's working good.
It's not. I have the same problems. Phone freezes at completely random moments. Same ****.
Phone worked well for a short time, then performance degraded again. Now its back to the same. Freezes almost instantaneously after a reboot.
go to recovery
(go to console)
fix_permissions
when done
type
reboot
wait for pause..
and it will reboot!
that booted me into a blank black screen after the ANDROID boot screen. Frozen again.

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?

[Q] Please help

So i had damages rom on my hero for over a year now and it worked fine then yesterday i unmounted my sdcard put another one in and the phone froze i restarted it, did nand restore, reflashed the rom and everything and nothing it just keeps boot looping so today i hard reset it ( hold down home key, back key and power button) hoping i could just start from scratch and nothing its still just boot looping. I tired to flash another rom but guess since the phone wont fully turn on my comp doesnt recognize it or pick it up... Please help dont know what else to do. Thanks

It sounds like you can get into recovery. If so, wipe data,cache,boot,system,dalvik cache. Then flash a new ROM and gapps (from the same thread). It would REALLY help if you would state what recovery and version# you have, what ROM you were trying to flash with what gapps, what radio baseband you have, whether you are s-off or not, and what all you have tried so far, with elaborate steps.

[Q] G1 Stuck on boot

First I have searched and searched and can't find anything similar to my problem.
G1
CM 5.0.8
RA 1.7
DangerSPL
I had cm5 running on my phone just fine for the last month or so and today my battery was about to die so I shut my phone off and when I went to turn it back on it sticks on the G1 boot screen. I can boot into recovery and fastboot but it will not but past the first boot screen. Is this something I did? Is there a way to fix it without starting scratch?
Did you backup your ROM? If yes, try restoring it.
I just re-flashed the ROM and it works fine. But I did a wipe and my screen saver is the same and google apps is still installed? Is that supposed to be like that after a wipe?
When you re-flashed your ROM and you did not do a full wipe of your data everything stay.
I did do a full wipe, catch, and everything and just flashed CM5 not the G-apps flash and I still have it along with the wallpaper being the same don't really know if this is relevant to the ROM but as far as I know when you wipe it puts the phone back to factory besides the recovery, radio, and SPL. Google apps can't be a part of the ROM either so I'm actually confused.
Oh and I re-partitioned my SD as well before the wipe so I pretty much started fresh but in all reality I didn't?
sometimes google backs everything up so when you re-flash to anything with same firmware as your last rom, and once you sign into google it will automatically install apps you previosly had and restore some settings such as Backgrounds and stuff... since you flashed the same exact rom, im assuming once you signed into google it just had your previous settings saved and restored it like a good friend would
HAHA made me chuckle! Thanks for the help guys! Glad to know google is my good friend! Still confused on why it just crashed like that :/ but as long as it's fixed is all that counts and not bricked
Hmmm.. When I did a full wipe of mine and flashed a new android version, I had to re-install all again!!!! and some of my data was also lost

Sorry for bad news, but I suppose you created a brick, i.e. there is no chance to re-animate your phone except with JTAG ...
can he still flash an nbh file? maybe try the orange nbh to re-flash via fastboot? or will it not let him do that because he has wrong/stock software installed?
Yep. No fastboot after Power+Cam. Sounded like a bad news brick indeed.

boot loop & battery drain

HI. HAVE NOT FOUND THIS FULLY ADDRESSED. HAVE THIS USED S4 ACTIVE . ONLY BEEN ABLE TO USE IT FOR 4 DAYS.-STOCK 4.4.2 UNROOTED .YESTERDAY IT DRAINED THE BATTERY TOTALLY WHILE CHARGING. GOT A NEW BATTERY AND IT STARTS OVERHEATING SO MUCH IT BECOMES HARD TO HOLD. THEN I WIPED CACHE AND DID A FACTORY RESET AND IT GETS STUCK AT BOOT WHEN I AM ABLE TO TURN IT ON , WHICH IS RARELY, IT NEVER GETS PAST THE BLUE ATT BALL.ALL IT SHOWS IT THE GREY BATTERY. mY PC WILL NOT RECOGNIZE IT, ODIN WILL NOT EITHEIR OBVIOUSLY. ANY KIND SUGGESTIONS??? WOULD LIKE TO THANKS FOR THE HELP
1. writing everything in capslock will not help you to get a reply faster my friend.
2. seems you bought a device with a dirty flash. someone flashed a custom rom like cyanogen, faced these issues, tought he can go back with a easy reflash, but didnt cleared the device by factory reset.
What i would do:
trying to get into recovery mode by holding volume up + power. if there is a recovery system on this device, wipe factory reset the device and flash a new fresh OS onto it.
otherwise you can use it as a paperweight.
