I think i bricked my friend;s g1 and need help if there is anyway to salvage this...
the phone was a build RC8** so i flashed to RC29,
i then put the "recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img" (renamed to recovery.img) and splhard1_update_signed (renamed to update.zip).
I downloaded Telnet and ran the commands:
* mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
* cd sdcard
* flash_image recovery recovery.img
* cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img
I then put it in recovery mode and flashed the update.zip>success
Then i tried to flash the newest radio "ota-radio-2_22_19_26I" and it said it was successful...while in bootloader i did the "factory wipe" option and rebooted the phone..everything seemed OK but now it wont go past the T-Mobile G1 screen...it vibrates when i turn it on, but wont enter recovery mode,boot loader, and my computer doesnt recognize anything when i plug it in....
Can anyone shed some insight to a possible solution to this?
Thanks in advance...
I don't know how many times it has been stated: radio - first, spl - second.
Once more, if you can't get into recovery or bootloader and your phone does not go past G1 screen - You've got a brick.
This is a brick. You can try this and see if it works, but i dont think it will....

Good luck.
My SGS shows the boot up screen/noise, then just sits on a black screen and vibrates occasionally
I'm able to press the 3-buttons and boot up into ClockworkMod Recovery, however nothing seems to fix it. I've tried applying update.zip, wiping cache, factory reset, loading the restore-update.zip, and "restore" to the only checkpoint, but nothing works.
I screwed up when installing a theme, these were the first part of the directions:
1. adb shell
2. su (grant su rights on your phone when asked)
3. mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
3. rm system/framework/twframework-res.apk
4. rm system/framework/framework-res.apk
5. rm system/app/settings.apk (if no file is found try Settings.apk ... no ide if it matters tho)

I got this far, then realized that the files I needed to replace those with were on the internal SD, but IN A ZIP. So I couldn't use them. RMing the old ones meant nothing worked anymore.
Now my phone is in debug mode, can't seem to get su access (although I can use adb to a limited extent), and I can't get it to work
Any help for me?
I have3 the same problem Have you found out how to fix it?
Looks like your going to have to use odin to reflash ive had this many atime from unsuccesful modding and always worked.
I have a verizon Samsung Galaxy tab. I would like to use clockwork recovery. The tab is rooted and I used ROM manager from the marketplace to flash the recovery for a Samsung Tab (Verizon). When I flash the ROM everything is successful. However, when I boot into recovery the Android System Recovery <3e> shell loads which doesn't allow nandroid backups etc... all the neat recovery tools that come with clockwork recovery.
I searched around the forum and saw a thread titled how to replace Android System Recovery with a Custom ROM. These were the commands
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
cd sdcard
mount -o remount,exec /dev/block//vold/179:1 /sdcard
./flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
exit
exit
I went into abd shell I tried the commands but by the time I got to the third line I keep getting permission errors before I can even finish typing the command. I cut and paste the command string from "mount-->" thinking I just wasn't typing fast enough and it still doesn't work.
Is there another way to remove the Android system recovery so that ROM manager will work properly?
Have a look at installing boushh's kernel, it probably going to be the best option around for you.

I don't know what that is?
I have also same problem ı tryed many flashes ı coudnt fix it yet.if you allready fixed could you please share thanks.....
Just flashed my NC to Cyanogenmod nightly 11, it boots fine into the ROM but for some reason none of the google apps are there. I installed them through the CWM recovery menu, as well as the nightly build and the OC'd kernal.
Everything went smooth except the gapps arent there. So I go into CWM and tell it to boot into recovery and it reboots to a black screen, have to hold down power to get it to reboot and it will reboot into Cyanogenmod just fine.
I couldnt get the SD card to boot, I'm thinking that its not formatted to the zero bit. Gonna have to research on how to do this as I only have Win7 available to me at the moment. Any ideas here? Do I need to go back to stock?
I have CWM 3.0.0.9, do I need to downgrade?
I just tried to manually downgrade the CWM but I still get the same problems =/
adb shell busybox mount / -o rw,remount
adb shell busybox mkdir /boot
adb shell busybox mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /boot
adb push recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.8-encore.img /boot/uRecRam
adb push kernel /boot/uRecImg
adb shell busybox umount /boot
Any help would be appreciated, or if I'm just being a dumbass and can't search for crap let me know. Just want to get this fixed.
To continue my little thread with myself haha, I installed CWM 3.0.0.5 and now it works, so something must have happened with EXT4 and the boot sector. Just gotta work on getting my gapps.
Hope this helps someone...or at least makes you chuckle =p

Once in recovery mount everything you can system , data , cache , everyrthing besides sd card
then go into command prompt and type adb shell make sure its working if you still have root it will show # if not it will show $ I believe no biggie as long as it picks up in shell.
then type : flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p2 /sdcard/boot_orig.img
then type : flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /sdcard/recovery_orig.img
select reboot from the recovery. now it will reboot and it will format misc and it will reboot again.

I don't know what else to do, I can't find a thread that stays on track long enough to follow this issue all the way thru... please help... I have read and tried everything, i can't find a clear set of alternatives... am i missing a step?
ya, i'm stuck in the same situation. I either get a "error -1" or it says "usage: flash_image partition file.img"
does getting "usage: flash_image partition file.img" mean the file was successfully flashed?

You are missing the space between mmcblk3pX and /sdcard.
ok, thats what i thought. when i do it the other way i get the "failed with Error: -1" any ideas on that. also if i send it back to t-mobile under the warranty, they won't send it back as damaged since i had CMW installed o it will they?

IMG Reposted?
Hi Folks,
A couple of people have posted that the boot, recovery, and system image links respond with a "404 not found" error. This is still the case.
I recall reading somewhere else that the images may still live on the SD card on the device. If this is true does someone know where in the file structure they may be?
If not, does anyone know where to obtain the images?
Currently I'm in CWM reboot hades on my Dell Streak 7. Tried the Dell OTA update for Honeycomb...didn't know that was a BAD thing until it was too late.
I've tried flashing boot and recovery images from a backup I'd made earlier, but no luck, so thatruth's excellent guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1006829 doesn't help much...unless I can get the recovery and boot images.
So to reiterate:
I can get to CWM and clear the caches and flash a recovery.
I can communicate with the device via ADB and have flashed it with the backup images.
I can mount the internal SD card via CWM and my pc.
After flashing with the backup images, Fastboot still does not recognize that the device is connected, and the device does not apper to go through the 'format steps'.
Cheers,

Found 'lightly modified' roms (thank you DJ Steve!) for a T-Mobile streak on another XDA thread. Flashed using adb, and tadaaaa, it booted! sliiiight problem. Will not boot into recovery and no wireless.
Managed to install rom manager (AKA ClockWorkMod) via ADB but CWM wan't an internet connection to install the recovery rom. grrrrr.
One of the other modifications (aside from root) by DJ Steve is the installation of 'BusyBox', This actually seems to complicate things for me because I don't really know how to issue ADB commands from the BusyBox shell. I get a lot of 'invalid command' and the like... I was able to install CWM OUTSIDE the adb shell (adb install rommanager) but once I'm in the shell (adb shell)I don't know how to issue the proper commands.
What I want to do is either remove busybox, or use ADB inside busybox to flash the CWM recovery rom, then flash my backup roms. (and hopefully return to full functionality.)
Any suggestions on how to use ADB commands inside of busy box to flash a rom?
Can anyone upload the stock rom images? I need to flash back to stock :\
