hey guys, i am not new to the scene but i have actually run into a big problem.
A few minutes ago i flashed a Hero rom followed by the ebi1 kernel, it booted up perfectly fine and went into installation, still no problems.
Once installation finished i learned that for some reason the home app(launcher) doesn't load, it just constantly gives an error force close when trying to go to the home.
Everything else does work.
I then decided to reflash the ROM, when booting my phone it would not go into recovery, i held the home button and it froze at rogers logo,
I tried again after a battery pull and same result, i thought uh oh, BRICK!
When i rebooted again( holding nothing down ) I learned that it apparently does boot! if i leave it alone, it does the whole buttons light up screen dims thing just before it boots, then the screen dies off and I hear a sound meaning usb connected, **(all this while it is still showing the second boot screen)**
The end button works to turn screen off and on but it it stuck at the second (MLGIN or whatever nexus style boot screen)
I nave now found a way to actually get past the boot screen, if i call the phone it will go into the dialer and I can actually use it as a phone!!, once in like this I can actually use the phone completely except for going to launcher(home), I can make calls (if someone calls me to get into the dialer), use the lockscreen, send a message (if someone sends one to me), enable usb mount.
I have a nandroid and a BART saved but like I said i cannot get into recovery.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Please let me know if my post doesnt make any sense, i can try and get my thoughts out again!
EDIT I CAN get Droid explorer to work, this means i can install any apps that could help! but i dont think i could launch them
-with droid explorer i can use terminal, cant i launch stuff with that? also, when i click Bart manager it says i need to buy a license, aww
- I clicked on reboot into recovery in droid manager, the phone rebooted but it hung at the rogers logo, I really cant understand how the recovery doesn't work!
EDIT it WILL boot into fastboot mode!
Can i install an alternate launcher with droid explorer, I think that if i can do this, when i hit home it will give me the option of choosing which laucher right? i then choose the new one.
Any one know where to get a different launcher? or perhaps the launcher from this ROM so i can try and reinstall it
Because i can use droid explorer, the options are nice,
I still need help organising the above attempt, but if that fails I could also use the flash recovery image option in DE and try that.
Am i right in saying that I should first try and get a different launcher to work or should i go straight for the recovery. If the recovery doesnt wokr could I lose access to the phone booting? (thus droid explorer)
OK I would LOVE some community help here:
I think i wave 3 options
1) install any apk (namely a new launcher and get the phone to atleast function properly)
2) Re flash a recovery image
3) Flash a ROM
All of these would be done with droid explorer, i think i have listed them from least risky to most risky (if i flash ROM and that doesn't fix it i could be out of droid explorer)
Could you guys help me start up, where can i get what, my mind is racing too much!!!
ok, using droid explorer i re flashed the recovery, it now boots into recovery. i am going to reflash the hero rom as i really want to use it!

for some reason i was getting a force close error when i tried to open the default messaging app.. it wouldn't open at all instead just a force close popup (no wait option) then i rebooted my phone.. same thing..
so i downloaded chomp and opened it, i got to the main screen where i can see all the threads but when i tried to open one i got the same error when i tried to open the default messaging app..
then i logged onto aim on my phone and sent a message to my phone number, a few seconds later instead of a notification i got that same force close popup i've been getting..
all that was done while i was at work.. it was frustrating to go the whole day with no texting.. anyway when i got home i took the sim card out and put it into my previous phone and been using that for a couple days.. been busy.. but now i have the free time to play with my g1..
so i put the sim card back into the g1 and try to boot into recovery mode to try a nandroid restore but it doesn't go passed the t-mobile g1 screen.. won't boot normal or into recovery..
what do i do? is there anything i can do? please help me out.
thanks for you time
I can't get to my recovery at all. When I try to reboot to recovery my phone just gets the motorola logo and it turns on normally. I've tried flashing different recoveries on rom manager and alternative one but nothing works. I tried installing sp recovery using termunal emulator and it just keeps saying failed. No memory. Has anyone had this problem before? How can I fix it?
try pressing "x"(hold) on the keypad and the power button (hold), an let go of the power button once u see the motorola logo
First off, rooted? If you aren't sure you probably aren't or you can go into Terminal Emulator and type su and hit enter. If the symbol changes from a $ to a # you're indeed rooted. If not, unstableapps.com and get easyroot. If you are, try flashing SP and then back to Clockwork. Then keep reflashing Clockwork until it flashes very quickly. Sometimes I have to keep flashing and flashing to get it to stick.
I am rooted. I've been flashing roms for a long time. I even tried flashing that custom recovery that's been floating around but it just says theirs no memory to flash the recovery. Ill give that a try. Thanks
well i flashed my hpone to cyanogen 6 but everything kept force closing so i just went to fastboot and updated with dream.nbh and it went back to stock but now something called android.process.media or something keeps force closing and i cant go onto market to download terminal emulator cuz it jus says i dont have wifi when i do and brwoser doesnt looad and if i update again with that same thing. when i try to go to recovery menu it gets stuck on the triangle with a ! and i dont know how to get passt to so i can factory reset so someone please help!
update i just factory reset and im experiencing the same problems some one please help
when you get to triangle screen you press 'alt' and 'L' on the keyoard to get to the recovery options... but on stock you can only flash official ota update.zip files.. you need to be on 1.5 to root device. than you can flash custom recovery, radio and spl to getetter roms... is youe device US model or UK model?
Hello all before I describe my issue lemme tell you how I got there.
First of all, new phone, couldn't install pixelexperience and flashing stock android was being a pain with all methods (read not working), only managed to install stock android with pitch black recovery.
After a while it auto updated to android 9 and I started having wifi issues that people told me were android's fault so I waited for an update. Update came but android was unable to install it, giving errors after errors every time it downloaded the update.
My solution to all of this was to flash another rom, either stock or custom, and pray it works. It was scheduled to happen in 2 days, when I had free time.
Today, when trying to change the permission for a text file for an app from read only to write, some random process crashed, and it triggered a crashing cascade, including the settings app, homescreen launcher, etc until the phone restarted and got stuck in TWRP logo screen.
No key press, combination, resets, etc would fix it. So I got into fastboot and tried a few things with no luck. Flash stock rom again and phone seemed to be working.
Magisk manager couldn't install magisk and root the phone so I went into stock recovery/twrp and every time I did it I got a black screen message saying something like this:
"Your phone/system is corrupt and won't boot ever again *evil laugh*. Oh btw, go to this link in another device to cry more"
and the link redirects to a google page with some non-useful info.
So here I am, unable to root, unable to go into recovery, phone boots though. I force-stoped updates for a while, as android 9 wifi issues were terrible, and I don't know how to proceed.
Do I flash a stock image again, a custom one, try another rooting method?
I don't want to brick a 6month old phone, really sucks.
Btw, is there a reliable way to back up everything in the phone ?(not only google stuff, but app configs and files/folders) Long time ago I read something about Titanium backup but never looked into it further and now with this crash that lost me everything I wanna prepare for the future.
Thanks for all the help and for reading my boring story.
Even I am facing same problem.. In my case my phone is rooted and I cnt flash TWRP and I cnt get into fastboot mode.. I alwys endup with black screen..
