Hi,
Recently I have been having a problem with my G1.
When I have left my phone on stanby for a period of time and I press the menu key to turn on the screen the screen back light comes up but it's blank.
I have to press the end key periodically to get the screen to come on. I have reflashed and wiped several times and tried different themes but it still does it.
I am running cyanogen 4.2.15.1 with the enoch theme updated via cyanogen updater.
It does not do this all the time it did it more with Darkstar.
I have been told I should re-root but I am worried about doing this because I am on the new radio and have been told I cannot flash back.
What to do???

Hi there,
I've a question regarding a strange problem I have atm. I flashed a new ROM two days ago and it worked well and without problems. I did two hard resets because I tested various programs and settings but the ROM worked.
Now my Diamond hang (you can see the time it hung with 19:52 because it froze there) and I did a soft reset. I did not do anything when it froze, I just noticed it as I wanted to call someone half an hour ago. The soft reset did not work though, the boot hang at the boot logo.
I though I'd simply do a hard reset but that did not work either getting me all kind of errors during the customization. It never happened with the very same ROM flashed before though. Not sure why it does happen now.
I cannot flash a new rom because I can't boot though so I can use AS. I can't flash from internal since I cannot copy stuff on there without a properly bootet device.
Has anyone seen such a thing before? It happened out of the blue and I did not change anything or flashed a different ROM or something similar.
get to the boot loader----> hold volume up, enter (round button on keypad) and press reset button (keep holding volume up and enter). you should now see the tri colored screen, plug in your usb cable and now you should see usb at bottom of tri colored screen. with your rom of choice run custom ruu, when you hit update it will return with nothing for your installed rom but will show what you are going to update to. hit go and it should start flashing.
That did indeed help. Thank you very much. My Diamond is back amongst the living now. Not sure what happened there though ...
I have a Rogers HTC Dream. I've had it for months now. I recently upgraded it to the newest version (1.86).
I was just fiddling with a new app I downloaded - "shake alarm" (where you need to shake it to stop the alarm) from the market. to test it, I set an alarm within a minute. after I closed the phone, I put it on idle. then it started to restart itself and it won't stop!
I've taken the battery out many times to stop it but it still won't load properly!
can someone please help me?
Well, I think the only thing you may be able to do is to do a wipe. Turn on your phone by holding home and power. Release when the recovery screen comes up. Open the keyboard, press Alt + W
When that is done, you can press Home and Back to restart. This resets everything back to factory, you'll have to set everything back up. I think that your downloads will be saved the first time you load up Market, but they'll be gone after that, so try to install them all at one time (that's if they are saved).
hm, I tried but it won't let me past the HTC loading screen.
Urgent!
My HTC dream has the same problem, its keeps on restarting and doesn't let me get to the recovery screen. Can't downgrade using fast boot as well, as it from Singtel. It used to happen before but used to get ok once i'll take out the battery and boot it again but now it just keeps on restarting. Anybody with a solution?
Or can anybody tell me why its happening?
Hi All
I have been trying to root my G1. I downgraded it to RC29.
Then, it started behaving very weird.
When I boot up, I cant do anything from the home screen. Even if I try to open the app drawer, it immediately closes it. I cant open the dialer. I cant even go to another home screen. It immediately comes to the default one. I cant even power it off. I can only pull the battery off. But in that case, when I try starting it again, it goes into the screen with triangle and exclamatory mark. When this happens, there is nothing much I can do. So, I just leave it for a long time like a day. Then, if I try starting it, it boots, but again same problem as before.
I tried reflashing the ROM many times, but no use. After the reflashing, it has same problem again.
Try flashing a different rom. Sounds like you have a very unstable rom.
I have used the one cyanogen suggests in his instructions. It is the DREAMIMG.nbh and downloaded from android-dls.com
I have downloaded it couple of times and reflashed. So, its not that the file got corrupted during download.
Do you have suggestions about any other ROM?
Now, I think it is not a problem with the ROM
It is as if the Home button is stuck. That is why, it always comes back to home screen, and boots up into recovery since home+power is recovery mode.
Once in a while it randomly goes into the recent apps window confirming that it is a home button issue.
Any work around?
I have been running CM6 on my G1 for a while with no major issues. However, this morning when I woke up, the phone was not turning on. The screen comes up with the bootloader white screen and keeps turning off. I had installed Advanced Task Killer the previous night and I suspected that it must have done something to the system. So I decided to reinstall everything from scratch, starting from DREAIMG.nbh.
My G1 looked to me as the T-Mobile UK version, so i used the RC7 DREAIMG.nbh. It flashed okay and booted fine. And when the Google account setup screen showed up, I tried to type my account details but very strangely I could only type the letters e d f x only. All others keys don't show up or do anything. I booted many times but the keyboard doesn't work at all, except those four keys.
I then wanted to flash RC29 thinking that I flashed the wrong version earlier. But now when I press Camera + Power, nothing happens. So I cant go to the bootloader screen. It just boots normally to the setup screen. I can however get the recovery screen when I press Home + Power but then because the keyboard's Alt or W is not working, I cant do a wipe either.
I also checked if it is talking to ADB, but ADB does not see the G1 either in recovery screen or after it has booted up normally.
I have been reading all day all over this forum, as well as others but did not find any similar problem or a way forward. Can anyone suggest how to get it back to normal. I don't think its totally bricked because it boots up normally and it can also go into recovery mode.
I have a bell Vibrant. I was running on Darky's FW. But this happens on any firmware and even on recovery menu. As the phone is booting the touch buttons are illuminated, if I press one (menu or back) that light goes out and stays out and I can't press it anymore. (This also happens in CWM) When phone boots up both back lights are on and go off with the screen as they should. When I unlock to phone both lights come on and go out as they should. But if I press the menu button on the home screen, it opens the menu section and the light goes out upon button press but it sticks or something and keeps pressing the menu button on its own. I can leave my phone sitting on the home screen and the menu comes up and goes away in a continuous loop until I lock the phone. The same thing happens if I unlock the phone but press the back button. the light goes out after I press it and it stays out until I lock the phone again. So my phone can sit at the home screen but only one touch button is lit up? I'm sorry for the book I just wrote but I'm frustrated and can't figure out what to do. If someone has any ideas apart from sending it to Bell for repairs please help.
Thanks
Did you try flashing it back to stock JH2 or JL2 ?
does it work on stock ROMS ?
Yes I was on Darky's ROM, and when I got home I flashed back to JH2 like I have done in the past and it didn't fix anything. But I think the problem goes deeper than the ROM because even in Clockwork mod or during boot if I press one of the buttons the light goes out and stays out. I tried flashing back to JH2 and JK3 with odin. And Kies tells me I can upgrade current version even tho I flashed JH2 & JK3 from samsung-firmwares.
my suggetion, send the phone back for repair/exchange
and flash it back to stock ROM before you do
sounds like a HARDWARE defect
Weirdest thing. I left the phone off in my car when I went to work today and when I turned it back on it didn't do it anymore. But a couple of days ago this happened and fixed itself too and then happened again the next day.
Mine has done this intermittently since I upgraded to JL2 at the beginning of December. Doesn't matter what rom is running, it's still the same, even sometimes does it at the cwm recovery screen. It's annoying. :\
Mine does it too

there is a fix for this. I have the same problem, but I am running a custom rom and not sure if it can be flashed without going back to stock. Try this...

My I9000m stock with JL2 used to do that too. I installed speedmod k13c kernel and then darkys 9.3. That problem totally never appeared again.
