need help with G1 - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok I'll make it short My T-Mobile G1 boot normally I get the logos screen G1 & T-mobile then... nothing; the screen either stay on back light or if I remove the battery & restart the phone shows the logos & all & then a white screen with some random colored red all over the screen.
Please guys I need your help in this matter & thunk you in advance.

you need to tell us what you did to get to that point... did you just flash some firmware? battery ran out while running.... any number of things could be the issue, a little history on the phone would be helpfull indeed

In fact, we CAN'T help you without those details. Anything we "guessed" might be the problem, and provided you a solution for, could make the problem worse, possibly even brick your phone, if we don't know the details of how you got where you are.

When you hold home while booting, what happens.
And yes, please give more info.

Kaiser 4 Colours of Death Again - HELP!

I've just got my phone repaired 2 days ago due to same problem and its dead again. It's showing me 4 colours bars, unable to boot or switch off. Please see attached photo.
Technician Notes on the Service Repair Job Card says " Reconnected Flexes, Loaded New Software and Passed all tests."
Whatever Flexes means? Hardware circuit board problem? Anybody knows whats that?
Its going to be another 2-3 weeks wait for Three Sydney to repair it....sigh....
I'm unable to find similar reported problem online. Anyone, please advice. It died when it shows nothing on the screen with blinking green light. I've not done any flashing or mod of any kind, its a 4 month old phone.
the flexes are what connects the screen/other hardware on the sliding face to the main board on the part that does not slide. Seems like your kaiser is putting itsself into bootloader for some reason. if you have knowledge of mtty maybe running some mtty commands would tell us more of why it seems to like to erase its on memory lol... there is a whole section in the wiki on mtty and I thread I believe also try contacting POF or OLI they have vast knowledge about the works of the kaiser
Thanks for the tips austinsnyc, after leaving it on with the bootloader screen for the whole night until it drain the batt completely, I was able to boot up again while charging.
I'm still interested to know why would it suddenly just go to bootloader screen, i'll read up on mtty.
Cheers,
JK
lol, you might have been fine if you just did a soft reset. but still that doesnt solve the issue of why it went into bootloader in the first place
Thanks for reminding about the soft reset, I tried that when it happen for the very first time I had this problem. That didn't help either and I had to send in for repair.
Whats the purpose of the bootloader anyway? In what situation would it appear normally?
you can manually place your device into bootloader by holding the camera button and then reset. a device going into bootloader out of the blue is usually never a good thing........unless maybe there was a situation where the camera button was somehow held down while your device restarted.

At&t Tilt sudden problem

All of a sudden my phone turns on with a white screen and some weird mixed colors...Please help, I can't do anything to it. It just keep turning on the the same weird image.
Please help me.
I noticed that you posted 2 threads about the exact same things. If this problem was so important why didn't you add more information to help people?
What ROM is on your phone, what happened before this happens, what have you tried to fix it, have you even searched to resolve the problem?
Is your white screen of death related to the normal white screen?

stuck at white screen

my ba is stuck at white screen. i cannot hard rest because its all was at white screen but my phone do ring but i cannot see any thing plx help
thanx in advance
same problem, please help me !
first i tried to update to windows mobile 6, but it didnt even start then it stucked at boot loader screen, serial/usb V 2.07
then i solved it with mtty but not completely, it stucks now in white screen, and do a ring like 'be-eer' . i re flash with orginal 2003 pda2k firmware, but after a successful flash, it's still stucking at white screen !
wot do u think could it be a hardware prob
i can't really help you about that issue, the only thing i can do is point out a little something for you to look up:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3816258
or:
this is regarding the universal but maybe it contains helpful ideas, what to check
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=259003&page=3
and just a little bit of my own ideas:
- are you absolutely 100% certain, you are using the gsm model, the blueangel, and not the cdma harrier?
- what rom were you trying to flash, was it a custom made one and did exceed the size limit?
i think these are the most common reasons for being stuck in bootloader besides just bad luck. i feel with you guys, i would be completely helpless in that situation.

[Q] G5 Nexus one clone

I have a G5 Nexus one clone with Dual sim, 1Ghz CPU,Windows mobile 6.5, GPS, 480*800 resolution 512Mb RAM & 512MB ROM.
I had edited the registry using Tweaks registry tricks for Windows Mobille & when it restarted it starts up with a screen that says 'SMART' and then goes to a black screen forever. When i try to hard reset using nexus one procedure, it comes to a screen with a green arrow pointing to the back of the same phone in the image on screen & at the bottom you have 'Downloading...' The phone does not respond after this, it just restarts after a while & ends up on a black screen as i mentioned above as if it were booting.
I need help with restoring the phone as quickly as possible with lesser effort or some technique to get back working and if possible with some new benefits. I'm sure im asking for too much but most importantly, i just want to get the phone working normally.
This phone says 'Made in Taiwan' at the back under battery, although i dont beleive it & i purchased it on ebay
I will be deighted and greatfull if anyone can help. If you need any other info, please let me know

[Q] Screen has black flash after making call

It's not always happen, but usually. After making calls, my screen is like flashing with black color (it's like losing connection with the screen). As i notice, longer the call i make, the stronger it'll flash, it's like the black flash area is larger than the fine area. Locking screen and restarting won't help, but it stop by itself slower and slower until all the area is fine. I don't know what it is. It's hard to tell and I don't have other device to record (i can post to all of u when I borrow my friend's phone to record if u guys want). It happens since I use first firmware, Amber and now Black.
If anyone ever face this problem pls tell me. And I hope it's not gonna kill my phone in the future, because I'm going to hold this phone for very long until i get a brand new one ( u know, money...). Sorry for my English, not my native.
