phone stuck at Rogers welcome screen

hi
i flashed my htc dream with the new rogers rom update. i then rooted it using the 1-click-method, and confirmed by running "adb root". I then flashed hardspl and now when i reboot i am stuck at the rogers boot-up screen. trying to boot with camera+power, home+power or back+power has no effect. i have to pull the battery to turn it off. also, when plugged in with usb there is no response.
bricked or something else i can do?

if you have no access to spl or recovery then it is indeed a brick.

thanks for your response. i read in your sticky that after spl upgrade it can take up to 15 minutes to boot, so now i am waiting and hoping, somehow it will come back to life (about 5 mins left)
update: 15 minutes gone by and still stuck

it will take up to 15 mins to do a normal boot but not if you hold camera+power. holding camera sends you straight to the spl. If it doesn't do that then there's nothing you can do. Can you provide a link to the spl you downloaded?

did you flash the recovery first?

yes i think i did, through that 1-click app

hmm I've never used the one-click app nor have I even looked into what it does. David1171 can probably help us there. He should be on in a little bit.

ok thanks for your help

I guess I should mention, we are waiting for david1171 to determine how your phone got bricked so it doesn't happen again. The phone is actually a brick if Home+Power or Camera+Power doesn't work.

ok so it probably cant be fixed then. i will try and return it to Rogers hopefully they will replace it.
that new Rogers rom had a new radio version. im new to android so i guess this is a lesson learned the hard way.

Same thing here.
I think I'm in the same boat as you. Waiting on the Rogers splash screen with nothing happening. Still have access to the home/power command to access recovery mode but can't do much past that. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

i just realised this is known as hard-spl and is not the same as the 2005 spl, so i might have flashed the wrong spl the first time? can anyone conform before I try 2005 from haykuro's thread?

hard spl is not the same as the 2005 spl. you need the haykuro spl.
make sure you read the thread "rogers, heres your real root"
that way you get a better understanding of the phone. it seems as though rogers and the g1 are 2 completely different animals

[HELP] I think I bricked my Rogers Dream!

i was following this guide here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod and everything seemed to go smoothly. i verified the md5 thing and it matched and everything. my sd card is fat32 for the record. i got to where it was flashing the spl. the screen stayed saying it was flashing for a really long time and half way through the device rebooted itself. It was plugged into its charger and I was not touching it. It just rebooted prematurely before the spl had been flashed. now when I boot up it doesnt bring up android or anything!
i bought this phone second hand and unlocked it, im using it with telus. If its bricked can i send it anywhere to get fixed?
edit: not sure if it means anything but it said HBOOT was 0009 not 0010. apparently 0010 was perfect spl or something like that. im not sure if this matters but its just something i noticed.

No, it doesn't do anything.

If you interrupted the spl flash (why would you do that btw?!) and you cant enter recovery or bootloader, you're bricked.

Which spl were you flashing? Did you flash a radio first?
Not being an ass, but you do know how to enter these modes, right.
Fastboot= camera+power held down
Recovery= home+power held down
If it is indeed bricked, there are very few solutions. Only working one is replacing board at the moment. There is other ways trying to be had in development forum as we speak. Don't start a new theard, but search and read thoses, maybe something can help you/help them.

That's the thing, I didn't interrupt the flash. I thought that if I checked the md5 hash that it would work perfectly. I didnt know it could fail without me doing anything.

I followed this guide:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod
My dream is a rogers one, so I assume its EBl1, I haven't done anything to it besides follow that guide.
1. I got my 2GB memory card and formatted it to FAT32 on my computer.
2. I put spl-1332005.zip on the card (I kept it as a zip)
3. I downloaded this file: signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-img-14721.zip
4. I opened that file I downloaded and copied system.img to my memory card.
5. I downloaded update-cm-4.2.x-signed.zip and bc-4.2.x-ebi1-signed.zip on my SD cards root.
6. I installed zinx recovery flasher and cm-recovery-1.4 32A flashed onto my phone (now that I think about it I didnt check to see if my phones 32A. I don't know where to do that)
7. I booted into cyanogenmod screen.
8. I flashed the SPL, it didn't get interrupted and I thought all went right, but I guess not.
That is everything I did. did I do something wrong?

It looks as if you didn't flash the radio first. the 26I radio, that is

Oh man, which part of the guide shows me how to flash the radio?

If you flashed the spl already, it is too late. The radio NEEDS to be flashed first

@ people telling him to flash the radio, if you're following that guide, you don't flash the radio, you leave it as is.
He did nothing wrong, he just got ****ed up by pure chance, though if he were reading the guide closely he would realize that he wasn't supposed to put system.img on his SD card.

That SPL is safe on all Rogers dreams.. either you were spectacularly unlucky with a bad flash, or it isn't actually bricked.. Remove the battery, hold the camera button, replace the battery and power on.. anything?

No dice. I didn't think it was possible for it to just brick on its own accord

AHH!
So I followed the turorial on updating the rogers HTC Dream to a T. I successfully changed the SPL to 1.33.2005 but the "system.img" file is no longers available on the HTC developer website. I tried using the system.img file from the Google I/O page (from the HTC developer website) but was left with a phone that pretty much was an HTC version of the iPod touch with no phone-related-applications working. does anyone have a backup of that system.img file for android 1.6 for the Htc DREAM??
Thanx

@meldonlobo, are you looking for this?

I thought this was 100% safe. what happened?

my radio version was 3.22.20.17 and HBOOT-1.33.0009 (DREA21000). my friend told me to post that because it might help. Is that radio right for following the guide?? It also says 32B not A. The tutorial mentions something about 32A. Is that why?
i remember that if i went to recovery mode when it was stock it showd an exclamation mark

Please can someone tell?

Before you do anything else, read this tutorial very carefully.

Make sure that your phone has the PVT board and not a DVT board.
You can check by going into fastboot and make sure that it reads DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF on the first line.
Then you upgrade the radio first AND THEN you flash the Danger SPL.
Just make sure that you read that tutorial very carefully and know what you are doing or else you might just end up with a paperweight.

Try removing the battery and then put it back in and see if it turns on. Then see if you can get into recovery mode. BTW, what recovery are you using right now?

Did you check to see if you phone has a PVT board? Did you install the radio first and then install the SPL? If you did it the other way around, then will will have a brick.
Is the phone not powering on after you flash the radio or after you flash the spl?

yes i know the phone has pvt and i checked it and i installed the radio first i did not had the chance to install the spl and after rebooted into recovery i pulled the battery out and after that it did not power on

That's weird because the radio should not have bricked your phone. Since you were able to boot the phone after you flashed the radio, it couldn't have been the radio either. Why did you pull the battery when you were in recovery?

What was your battery level before you flashed? If it ran out during the installation, then you have a brick. Try charging it some and see if it turns on.

IIRC when flashing a radio, the phone will reboot itself during the process then carry on flashing.. you didn't pull your battery then did you..?

Are you sure it was the recovery screen? Did it have all the text options? The radio flashing screen looks similar.. If you pulled it out there, you're bricked.

I am pretty familiar with the guide that you said you followed. I dont remember seeing the part in it that says "pull the battery"...
UPDATE: After this persons unfortunate experience I have updated the guide to actually tell you not to pull the battery at any point during the installation process. I know its common sense but this thread goes to show that unless you tell someone not to do something they may think that its ok.

After you flash the radio it tells you to reboot and it reboots and then finishes installing the radio. Then it reboots to recovery. You must have pulled the battery before the radio finished installing.

G1 stuck on bootloader screen (G1 screen) PLEASE HELP!!!

hi,
my friend tried to root his g1 and somehow he got it stuck on the bootloader screen. It just stays there and does nothing.
I have no clue what to do and he let me have the phone.
I was just wondering if someone can tell me what to put onto my sd card to get it up and running. thanks so much!

hi there hope this helps follow this guide and it will help. hope all goes well.

Thank you, i will check it out.

your welcome. anymore help just ask. there's a lot of people here on XDA that would be gladly to help out. Some of them have great experience with the G1 and many others android phones. if that file don't work for you, this one will truly work its the one i use if i get into any trouble like your self, i been there. sometimes its stays on booting and this don't work i use this one.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EMY1HIVU and just follow the same direction as the last site i gave you.

For some reason i cant get into boot loader mode... any ideas?

did you press camera button and power button just like that. fist step camera button second step power button at same time. but before you do this phone needs to be off to get into boot loader mode. you need to place the image on the root of the sdcard thats in no folder at all, in the root of the sdcard.

What i did is i pulled out the battery, put the sd card in and then put the battery back in. Next I held down the camera key and then I pushed the power button. I have not let go.

sould i let go next time?

this is what you suppost to follow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckbsFRnVciE . tell me something can your phone power on the g1 boot screen. can you tried for me power and home and tell me what you see. thanks.

It will not do anything. it is just stuck on the g1 screen.

I asked my friend what he used and he said Anon recovery rom and hard spl

probably the phone is bricked. write every single step you remember you took on trying to root your phone maybe i can get something out from there. its hard to brick one of this phones. to use amon recovery and hard spl your phone need to be downgraded with rc29 by using the file in the website i posted.

He said he did not downgrade it. he went straight to the spl and this is what happened.

he needed to downgrade the phone from stock before doing those steps. it aint that easy. probably he bricked the phone somehow.

He could not have flashed the spl straight onto a stock phone.. He's leaving something out, probably in the full knowledge that he did something stupid.
Anyway, if you can't get into bootloader with cam+power of recovery with home+power, it's a brick. JTAG it if you're comfortable with that or if not, sell it to someone who is.

then mines possibly bricked! maaan this is such BS. i accidentally installed the wrong recovery image, then figured I redo everything again. I got it working again, downgraded to RC29 and flashed Amon Ra 1.7.0 image. After that I got too excited, I went straight ahead and flashed hard spl and complete Eclair rom right away. Then poof, stuck on g1 screen. Still is now, possibly brick right?

HELP!! May have Seriously Messed up phone...

(Rogers HTC Dream)
Ok, so, i know this sounds ridiculous, and you may find yourself asking "WTF Was He Thinking?!?!?" But, was a late night, and i was quite possibly half asleep lol...
Ok, so, long story short, i have tried possibly every rom for the Rogers Dream, and majority of them didn't work for me, or atleast, if they did, not that well.... Cyanogenmod 6 worked ok, although it started to get slow pretty fast :/ Anyways, i had previously rooted and flashed my dream with the steps provided on cyanogen's wiki, but i had never updated the kernel or anything, so, i came to the conclusion that it was possibly my kernel that was un-allowing me to run most roms, so i decided to update my kernel using the steps here
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139"
Everything went well, kernel updated, wiped everything, except i accidently deleted my recovery.....but thought, no problem, i'll just follow the instructions on the thread, no biggie.....it said to download the "orange-1.58.73.2.nbh" and flash that......BUT... I Should have known that the Orange one was the one for T-Mobile!! But out of stupidity i didn't realize it and flashed it!! Now my phone won't boot up or Anything :/ when i try to boot into recovery OR Hboot, it shows the t-mobile startup flash, then shows an error with a triangle and a yellow exclamation in the middle, with a phone on it's side beside it!! :S
Did i completely mess up my phone?.... Someone please help!! x.x

I got a Rogers dream and I just push amonRA with adb. As for the exclamation screen, I think there is a key combo to bypass it. Something like volume up and power at the same time. I can't remember now the exact combination. Took a lot of Googling to find it, and if I remember correctly the dream has a different combo than the tmo did. But with this nexus one my memory has faded.
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk

The orange nbh is orange not t-mob..
But has a eng spl so recovery is easy.. head over to my 2708+ radio thread and flash that, a 2708+ rom (most new roms support it and older ones the kernel in that thread will fix it.
Rogers if they are your carrier may cut wireless data there is a e911 wavier form to get around this search for it or ask the support person if they cut your data for detasils.
The good thing about using the 2708+ radio/kernel is extra ram, and it works on the rogers dream the same way as the non rogers dream thus you can ask more people to help support you with 2708+

Thanks for the reply guys,
ezterry:
thanks for replying, would had posted in your thread but didn't want to jam it full of even more posts of someone needing help lol...
as for your reply, it was after i had flashed the orange nbh that i was getting the t-mobile splash :S thus i assumed it was t-mobile.... but, as for flashing anything, i can't....when i try to boot phone in hboot or recovery, i get the error i previously mentioned, and when i normal boot, i can only get to the screen that says to plz insert sim card, and it won't let me pass that screen :S....that's where im stuck.....i tried using the usb cord to access adb through it, but on the comp it says there are no adb devices, i'm assuming it's because i can't get past the "no sim card" screen to enable debugging ..... Any suggestions?
Thanks!!

I'm going to hope you are doing something silly since your description indicates no problem with the phone.

I don't recall if adb is enabled by default on the orange rom; regardless this is the rom. (putting a sim card active or not in the phone may let you get further however ought not be necessary )
So either you got so anoyed at your phone you did phisical damage to it or you are attempting to enter HBOOT/Fastboot incorrectly.
Powering on when holding 'camera' is supposed to always bring you to the HBOOT screen; then pressing send or back as prompted will let you to the Fastboot screen (don't re-flash the orange NBH, say no if it asks)
Alternatively either booting with send or back will go directly to HBOOT.. (The rogers [2000 series] dream uses Send while the t-mobile (100 series) users Back but some SPL only provide the back options regardless of dream model.. I don't recall about 1.42.2000 so you will want to try both)
In theory Home is the only button to send you to recovery.
Once in fastboot it ought to be a full featured fastboot and the normal 2708+ install instructions will work using fastboot on your PC

That /!\ screen *is* recovery, alt+L will show you additional options.. but in its self its not that useful.

Ahh ok lol, i'd installed RA recovery when i first got the phone, so it was the only recovery screen i remembered ever seeing, thus why i was confused, but yah, hit alt+L and saw the options, but yah, not that many :/
So either you got so anoyed at your phone you did phisical damage to it or you are attempting to enter HBOOT/Fastboot incorrectly.

Apparently was entering it wrong, i was used to using Home+Cam+End to enter hboot.....so that's my fault....
Once in fastboot it ought to be a full featured fastboot and the normal 2708+ install instructions will work using fastboot on your PC

When i enter hboot, it looks like a friggin rainbow now lol....red, green, blue, and white bars as the background :/ and once in hboot, it says "Serial0" in the middle of the screen :S and when i plug it into the computer, i tried hitting both back, and send, and it makes the "Serial0" dissapear, but seems no matter what i do, it won't show the phone as a connected device in fastboot :S
Thanks again for replying soo quickly and all the help u've been giving me, any advice on where to go from here or getting it to enter fastboot?

What you are describing is not 1.42.2000.. but 0.95.0000.. or that its likely the Dreaimg you flashed was the t-mobile rc29 and not the orange nbh..
Rc29 can be flaky.. but there are two options
1) go to recovery, alt+l and wipe, put a sim card into the phone and root via telnet.. assuming you have the 1.x radio of rc29 follow the link to my 1.33.2003 spl then with that install 2708+ normally
2) if you still can't boot you will need to use/make a goldcard (if you don't already have one this may require finding a friend's phone to help make one) and this time flash the orange nbh *not* rc29
0.95.0000 will not let you flash a rogers nbh so there is no way to re-flash with out a goldcard.. otherwise I'd just have you flash the roger 911 patch and re-root from there..

hey if you are still getting that screen with the yellow triangle and '!' that means you have stock tmobile recovery with no rom lol can you try to press (alt+L) hold alt and press L should make a list pop up.. if it does than maybe you can still re root it so than it will read your sim... but im not sure if the rogers G1 has and different software so it could possibly make it worse.. lol just a suggestion

Hboot is 0.95.0000
Radio is 2.22.19.26I
So i'm guessing it is the rc29 And i'm not too sure what a gold card is? :S

that sounds like stock 1.5 firmware to me

..Still have yet to find a solution....any help please?
info again is
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
Background:
Accidently wiped rogers rom + flashed t-mobile rom, and since then,
Hboot says "Serial 0" and won't allow me to flash any images, phone doesnt have a recovery, will boot up now, but only to the android set-up process which i can't continue with because it won't accept my rogers sim card, despite the fact i unlocked the phone before all this happened :/ so i can't sign in to or create a google account. Have attempted every bypass to get past it with no success. Obviously since i can't get past it i have no access to adb...
Please help

Just out of my curiousity, got download the orange nbh file (make sure that it marked orange).
Format your SD card to FAT and put the nbh file in the root of your SD card.
put the SD card in your G1.
Boot up with camera+power and flash it.
See if that work.

Thank you for your response, unfortunately i have tried that countless times with no luck it says it cannot read or flash or something, i forget what it says Exactly but it wouldn't allow it x.x any other suggestions?
I'm Really desperate x.x and i have been having the crappiest luck lately. I bought a phone off kijiji today, spent 3 hours trying to meet up with the guy to buy it, then when i did get it (after all the running around) i took it to "The Source" to get it activated in my name , and after 4 hours (5pm-9pm) they finally said they tried everything but couldn't do it because the phone is registered to someone with a contract that has a suspended account do to owing an outstanding amount of money!!

At this point, when you boot up the phone. What do you see?

It loads up to the setup screen, in which i cannot bypass...i have tried with another active (with data) rogers sim, telus sim, and virgin mobile sim card, but none of them will work....and like i previously mentioned, i unlocked the phone prior to all this happening :S

OK! I am not sure why it will not let you activate your phone. But don't worry about that ATM.
Let try activate your G1 over wifi. Follow the instruction from the link below.
