Some background info would be nice.
yeah I had this same problem when i was on an earlier version of CM experimental build, the problem for me was that it would do what i would call a soft reboot, where the android loading screen would appear and load for a couple seconds then go back to the home screen.
I found this problem out in the browser when i was trying to go back to the prvious pagr it would "reset" I dont know the cause but maybe you should get a Log of the error or when this happens and post it here or send to Cyanogen
Yeah some more background information would help us assit you with the issue. If possible create a signature with information about the ROM you use and any settings.
haha easy, my phone is.....unchanged at all

i think he means "all your versions belong to us" or "Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?"
seriously though no one is going to help you if you don't want to tell us any background info, and if you don't want to, then why make a thread to begin with.
i didnt mean to be a smart a** what i meant by that was everything is how the phone comes out of the box, no rooting, no roms, no nothing, sorry if i came off the wrong way
well here it goes..
firmware 1.5
and build # CRC1
haha thats basically it?

don't feel bad about it, you took the ragging like a true sport
hey guys i have a g1. its rooted.
i tried to get the latest custom radio. but idk why after wiped and then i used update frm sd. its did something then asked to reboot to finish installation . then the "Unboxing and an arrow to phone" came up. and its not going away .. its always there... i removed the battery fone ... tried to go to the recovery mode. nothing works .......
Need HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You said you cannot get into recover home + power
Can you get into the bootloader?? (camera + power)
If you can't boot into either of theese modes, then you probably bricked your phone during your radio update
nope.. i tried. the same screen comes up...
so there is no way to fix it now?
If you search around the forums abit there's a couple things you can try that will work in the chance that somehow it's just a softbrick....
However, not being able to boot with camera + power or home + power , is usually a sign of a brick
i think i got a softbrick.... cause its not the G1 sign.. the installation sign thats on the screen.. "Unboxing and an arrow to phone"
anyhow tnx dude

Doesn't matter what you can see on-screen, if you can't get in to the SPL (home+camera) and can't boot the phone itself, then the thing's dead. Simple as.
Only way to fix that is to take it back to HTC/Tmo and say that's what happened after an OTA update, or replace the motherboard.
What radio were you trying to flash? One from the Hero?
not looking good :/
That part where you said unboxing.. by forever did you mean atleast 10 minutes? sometimes this part can take forever.. If you yanked the battery while it was still updating the radio odds are you're sol :/
Also did you have the correct spl installed? sadly jacking up the radio install is the easiest way to perma brick your phone...
i tried to flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552591
then i tough it'll be better if used the latest radio as that ask... so i used "update-hero-radio-63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22-signed" i pasted it on my sd. then used update frm sd zip...
the installed and asked to reboot.. i did then i installed but that the end that screen came up =/
So in short you tried to update a G1 with a Hero radio image. I think that's the first time I seen this one. Not sure where to point you too at this point.....

The "ROM Flashing for dummies" book? ;P
Moral of this story, don't flash radio images intended for other devices!!...Or ROMs for that matter. They won't brick but without the required drivers they aren't going to work.
so thats it.................. i just leave it like that......... trash that fone? lol
that radio was a mistake.. i didnt read that name.. i thought it was for g1's htc rom.. but w.e
tell what should i do... just leave it till i get a solution?

Depending on how long you've had the phone, if it's been less than a year, you could call T-Mobile and say something to the affect of, your phone said it needed to reboot to apply an update and now it's stuck on this screen etc.. etc.. , and they would probably issue you a replacement, however if you get caught doing this, they could charge you an additional fee, and this is probably considered an insurance scam, you can decide what you'd like to do on your own, I just wanted to throw that little disclaimer in
nice to you find such matter funny.
anyhow ... i press and held the track ball and hit power button.. the blue like came out and the screen is black... O-o is that a good sign?
please help guys
Trackball does nothing but put it into "blue light mode", the ones you need working are home+power & camera+power. there are several pseudo solutions that claim to work even if these key combinations don't and perhaps they do for a few that are only softbricked. But, there are several hundred people with G1's in paperweight mode who'd beg to differ.
Alas, you've got alot of reading ahead of you, which could have been avoided had you done more reading in the first place :/
My suggestion, being that it seems you're fairly new, with a fairly new phone is follow jackslim's advice above and do alot more research next time...
thank you all of you...
ill go talk to T-mobile tomorrow see if they are able to help...=/
but i just wanned to show how the screen looks like
http://i27.tinypic.com/10rskyx.jpg
once again thanks for the advice
kinda odd tho. have you tried putting rc29's DREAIMG.NBH on the sd and holding camera+power...
Edit: then again, a hero radio on a "not hero" could definitely cause "odd"
oh and don't forget to atleast wipe your sd before going to t-mobile....
I have a Sprint HTC Hero running on 1.5 OS. I am not receiving 100% of my messages...it is extremely intermitted at best.
I have restarted, battery pull, updated firmware, profile and PRL. I have even gone as far as resetting back to factory. I have tried various 3rd party SMS apps to no avail!!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Maybe no one is messaging you?
lol yeah like i said its sporatic I get texts from my ex wife but not my girlfriend ....this has only started since I upgraded from my Crackberry to the Hero..but really i'm not getting messages from work

lol agreed
no you running stock rom right is your 3g off if so turn it back on, also tyry to text your self a few test texts to verify that its not working and if it still doesnt work and your on a unrooted phone go back to the store and be like wtf this isnt right, then call customer service and complain and get a credit on your phone (hell worth a shot right)
so If im getting this right you get texts from your ex but not ur gf? all jokes aside, maybe ur gf doesnt text you cuz u text your exwife?
yeah it is kind of funny...but hell no!!! never going back!!!
Dude check your roaming and Mode of Operation set to AUTO!!
go to these guys dude, they'll fix it for u
Duuude.i was having the same problem yesterday n earlier today,like around 2am...dont know what the f.ck was going on.i think its somethin with sprints network.like a network fart or somethin lol..super annoying.i tried sending stuff to myself and nothin...super wack.
call sprint ...phone not programmed properly for data..they did same thing to my hero ...i had them reprogram the phone and wiped it to factory and everything worked fine
EDIT: We now have our own forum section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1060
Please check there to see if there's a relevant thread for any new topics or issues, if not, make one.

Well, that last thread went on FOREVER, I thought a new one might be needed.
This is the continuation from the old thread.
The 2.2 upgrade is here with instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11551718&postcount=1067
Important note: The update will officially be OTA, so you don't need to do this yourself manually here. The OTA will be out shortly. The method provided at that link is for the technically inclined.
If it gets stuck on 98% for a while, that's fine, don't worry about it. Just keep it connected and wait, it can take 30min. Not a problem.
And if you lost your Kyocera logo while messing with the boot image, IT'S BACK
I'm really hoping they fixed the boot loader and perhaps we can get Clockwork Mod working on it again, without it trying to connect to Verizon!
ROOTING
The 1-click root that worked for 1.6 works just the same for 2.2
ISSUES
There doesn't seem to be any multi-touch enabled.
Either the accelerometer or compass is broken, both google sky maps and the compass app jitter around A LOT.
Improvements
All around speed increase.
Camera takes pictures in focus and captures when pressing the button rather than 1+ seconds later.
Night pictures have much better contrast.
Gallery scans 8gb card a single time and opens fast all times after.
hehe, I was going to start a thread, but thought it fitting to wait for you to do it.
Perhaps we should muscle xda again for a ZIO section, or at least a cricket android section? o.0
That's why I was asking people to start new threads starting with "Kyocera Zio M6000 - my issue here" so hopefully the general forum would be flooded... That didn't seem to go too well, there are over 1000 posts in the original thread. Can we beat that here?
lol hopefully not. Now that 2.2 is live (somewhat) I think people will now be more inclined to start new zio threads instead of bombarding the most popular one.
I love this update it made the phone everything it should have been from the start. All the great performance enhancements and cool new features are awesome, I cant stop playing with my phone. I think my new favorite thing is the new lock screen, and the slide to answer feature.
any clue what the "kyocerafailsafetool" is? Its a background app.
Unrelated note: Im going to have to get use to the fact that I dont have to push my task killer widget everytime I open/close an app. lol
apps 2 sd
hi i am looking for instructions to do the apps2sd can anyone point me in the direction for that? also i noticed that all the bloatware is back, is it still safe to remove it same as before? and i guess we still need barnacle to have wifi hotspot. thanks!!! so we dont need taskkiller anymore for 2.2?
apps2sd is located in your application management settings -- just click an app and there will be an option (if available) to "Move to SD"
Should be alright to remove all the crappy demo games and bloatware.
Yes for barnacle.
Sweet. I have been at work all day and just got to a PC that I can do the update from. Got it smoothly on the first try although it does take forever on the initial boot up after update.
Anybody remember the directory that the bloatware is in?

anyone find a way to upgrade to the 2.2 for Zio cricket yet? I just now found out that they finally got it out. I was told though that the only way to get it is to take my phone to a Corp store and they have to do it.
I've been searching all over the net for an hour now trying to find it to do myself but with no avail. it's getting very tiring and frustrating cause i don't have a ride to get to the dam store I need to get to for them to do it.
Woohoo !! I got my Kyocera logo back. Took forever at 98%, glad I waited, I'm rolling. I did a factory reset right before the update, but I think it would have wiped everything anyway.

oops sorry I just found the thread showing the download for the upgrade and how to do it. sorry again i should have read into it more on here for i sent the question about it. now i'm going to see if i have the time before i have to leave to get it done and if i can figure it out. lol wish me luck and i'll let you know how it went. hopefully I don't fk my phone up. lol
I know, I was super stoked to get my logo back. Perhaps they've changed the way the OS handles factory resets - perhaps not on the recovery partition anymore?

I'm downloading the things needed for the upgrade now. they are in WinRAR format. can you explain how exaclty I have to go about doing it so i don't mess my phone up? Thank you. in advance for any help you can give me.
As stated in another thread:
Spz0 said:
Im now waiting to read all the "I somehow bricked my device" posts bound to show up..
So someones gotta say it..
Lets be clear: if you dont think you can update your phone yourself using zclusives method, DONT!
Wait for the OTA update.
Please...
Wait for the update...

dam download of the upgrade taking forever on my junk network
Its taking me some time to get the download I need, but in the mean time, can someone explain in detail how I should go about doing it?
I'm worried someone might try calling or txting me while its being done. Hope that won't screw things up. I'm still going to try it either way.
Before I start I'm going to do a system restore on my phone first then go ahead with the upgrade from there. Only problem I'm really having is it's in a WinRaR zip file. Do i have to extract the files in the zip first before upgrading, transfer it to the sd card on my phone and go from there? what I have no clue yet but looking for the answers. problem is I only have till 7:00pm tonight to get it done cause i have to be somewhere at 7:30pm till 9pm.
I would like to have it done before i leave if possible.
apps to sd
ok thank you Spz0 i have got a new 8gb sd card that was the biggest i could find on such short notice, so just format it with the phone and then replace all the files off old sd card to new one ? was just making sure so i dont mess it up. what are some good apps for 2.2 that wouldnt work on 1.6 i have phone rooted with universal androot installed apps are titanium backup,root explorer,quick app cache cleaner,better keyboard,adw ex launcher,andguard,astro file browser,beautiful widgets,dropbox,memory up pro. i have found a place to get apps and install from sd card for anyone that wants to try the apps and make sure they work or are what you want before purchasing them and installing them,just go here http://www.4shared.com/ and use search for apps for android apps you want to try. i then get them from market and pay for them if they work and are what i want. saves me from getting something that doesnt work,and then trying to get a refund from market. ok hope this helps everyone. tommy
I bricked my phone tonight. sgh-t959v Why on earth I ever thought this would go as well as it did with my behold 2 back in the day I don't know.
Well for starters I rooted the phone, then when there was another update tonight I did it, Superuser was gone at this point. I was the Kies samsung update to 2.3...... So I rooted it again. Ok then the phone seemed really laggy compared to what it was before so I looked into Voodoo and such tried that. Putting the file on the SD didn't work because I had S3 something about certifications. So I found something on the market that would let me flash it with software. Then the phone wouldn't boot and kept trying to loop. I got it back in download, and put what I thought was the right stuff back on the phone since I searched for hours (no lie) to try to find a complete stock set. I did a backup with that stupid flash thing I used from the market, which ended up on the SD, which for some reason is now blank when I put it in the laptop.
The software must have been wrong because it still wouldn't start. Then I found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307637 and decided to try that. Odin kept do what seemed nothing. It would start and see the phone try and then no progress bar everything looked like it was working and then it would hang for some reason. Next time I am never messing with this crap ever agin if this phone ever works again.
At this point I have the PH ! PC and I can't get it into download. So I found out about the USB thing I can build I think.
What do I need to get this back? I am very sorry about the long explanation, ubt I was hoping if I spent the time explaining how I goofed up, someone might take the time to answer me.
