If you want someone to actually help a list of what rom you were running, spl, recovery, radio, overclock, etc would help..
right now sounds like you overclocked it too much but since you didn't give any details I can only speculate

Need help rooting PLEASE?

ok, sumthin happened to my last g1 that nobody seemed to kno what's wrong, i spent hours tryna fix it but nthn worked. So i got a replacement, and i been tryin to root it but it's not working. Idk what's wrong, it's like i can root it, but whenever i try to install a rom after the cyanogon logo goes away, i get stuck on a blank black screen. i've tried numerous vids on how to root but none of them seems to help so i figured xda would be able to help, hopefully cause i miss having my phone rooted, so if anybody can help, i'd greatly appreciate it.....
You probably didn't follow the instructions carefully enough. Also looks like you can't read...since this is a DEVELOPMENT forum, not a HELP! I CAN'T ROOT MY PHONE forum...
Try Q&A <_<

Dont worry. every time i have problems re rooting i go here http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-root-a-t-mobile-g1-and-mytouch-3g-android-phone/

bricked G1 - need some help.

i . ll just start from the beginning. i installed a jesus freke ROM on my G1, i dont remember what version. i think it was 1.41 or something like that. (RC29 or RC33, idr). i downloaded an app or maybe it was an app that came with the ROM that let me know of jesus freke's updates. i hadnt checked it awhile as the G1 is not my primary device. when i checked for it last week, it showed an update and i attempted to install it. i completely forgot the procedure for updating a new image and im prretty i bricked it because it wont go past the android screen, even after waiting about 10-15 minutes, it still wont go past it. so my question is, can somebody please help me unbrick my G1? im in no hurry as im not using it on a daily basis, but id like to get this resolved as soon as possible so i can sell my G1. anyways, id appreciate it if someone could help. if so, can you give some detailed instructions as im not TOO familiar with android. i know a little about it, but too much.
thanks guys,
josh.
if you can access recovery mode, just go and reinstall other rom, i recommend cyanogenmod - user friendly and it got a complete guide on there website to install.
youll have to expand on that a little more, like i said, im not that familiar with android.. i dont have an SD card in there, and i suppose that might pose a problem trying to flash another ROM to it.. can you give me some links and some specific directions when you have a chance..? i'd greatly appreciate it.

This right here is why I say don't root if you don't know wtf you're doing. This always happens to people who should have just stayed away. Look:
Power phone completely off. Hold home key and power on. If you get to the recovery screen (the screen with a bunch of options, probably all written in green for you) then you're not bricked. All you need to do is put latest cyanogenmod on your sdcard, wipe your phone, and install it.

[Q] G1 stuck at "G1 T-Mobile" Startup screen. How to fix?

Hello,
Tryed to find similar threads, but found none with the correct answer.
When i tryed to unroot/unflash my phone back to stock something went wrong.
Now when i try to turn my phone on i can only see this "G1 t-Mobile" loadingscreen and nothing else happens.
Ive tryed booting with Home+Power, with Camera+Power and a normal booth, nothing works. Replaced the SD-card with an other one (1GB), first formatted FAT32style, didnt work. Afterwards i put the DREAIMG.nbh file on it and tryed it, but still didnt work. Im all out of options.
Can someone please help?

I'm afraid you have a hard bricked phone. Only way out is to jtag it.

i have the same problem in my g1 mobile he is dead now please help me
Did you try going to the Root screen? If you can't go to the root screen, then it might be Bricked, I'm not sure though.

I have tryed every button combination possible, and none of them worked
So there is no other way to fix this unless i need to adjust the hardware?

Yes, and thank you for that.
Though, im afraid i'm not competent enough to "JTAG" it as i dont understand 50% of the stuff being said in that post
Also i read you need some equipment like a JTAG Adapter, which i dont have..

Your best bet would be to see if anyone in your area/country who can do it for you probably at a lot cheaper cost than buying a new phone.

[Q] help with galaxy s 897 in download mode

my phone was stuck on the att world phone screen then i finally got it into the downloading mode. its been in downloading mode for about an hour now, does anyone know how long this should take or what else im suppose to do? im clueless about phones! please help! thank you nicole!
Read the stickies and get to know how these phones work. What's download mode, Odin, Heimdall, recovery (CWM, 2e, 3e), difference between boot loaders, etc. Lots you need to know about risk and procedure. I can't link as I don't have access to a computer.

nicole,
first what are you trying to do? as the below poster said you better read and understand the difference between various modes. understand what you are trying to achieve. the flashing is very serious task and to be taken seriously. there are risks involved and you better understand all. i have been reading for months before i did my first flash. after that it gets easy.

Fully Hard Bricked Moto G xt1072 (Help) DX

So i have a Moto g xt1072 wich i got second hand.. i got it into recovery mode and eventually got it working, but it was really unstable, so i wanted to reflash the stock rom, because it looked like the current one on the phone was corrupted (i was running android 6.0) (btw i have a xt1068 as my daily driver, but i want this to work again)
So i started flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-lte/general/stock-6-0-marshmallow-europe-reteu-t3338075 <-this
but i had errors and it was failing multiple times.. so i looked up some tutorials, and most of them were unlocking the bootloader at the beginning, so i was unlocking and locking the bootloader trying to get the commands to work,
then i found a tutorial wich coppyd all of the commands at once, so i tried that.. screen went black..
Wont boot into recovery, 3sec method or 120 sec method, and connects to my pc as QHSUSB_BULK
luckily i made a picture of the recovery when i tried to flash:
http://imgur.com/8avCk3T
I think i may need to blank flash, but im not certain..
I would also like to find the firmware for this phone that wont brick it..
Can anyone help?
Need more info?
Please just ask me, i will respond immediately
i dont care what i need to do.. even if i need to hardwire (because im really good at those finicky things)
Thanks for reading XD

okay, so there are different types of hardbricks, all act the same, but one is harder to unbrick than the other, there is qh usb bulk and qhas bulk with numbers behind it, search for force unbrick lg g2,
now the problem is, it should be easy to unbrick the phone at thsi point, but im not an expert in that and have no idea what to do now xD so i posted it on xda, but no one answered me.. xD hopefully this clears it up some more

So that link to another thread in XDA forum, I think I had a similar experience. I too have the XT1072 as I live in the UK. now here on XDA you have to be careful and ask 3 4 maybe 5 times before someone listens properly. I know it is hard for the devs with so many dumb noobs asking so many dumb questions, I include myself as a noob so no worries. Anyway to get to the point that link is not referring to our phone the XT1072. You should ignore LTE in your search criteria, it will always point you towards the 2015 model and believe you me all roms in my experience area very device specific. You need to simply put Moto G 2nd gen 2014 in search criteria when it comes to searching for custom recoverys and/or stock ROMS. The Titan.IMG is always a safe bet if I remember correctly, dont take my word for it, I have been known to have a memory like a sieve now and again, the problem with getting older, cache gets smaller and smaller, lol! Best of luck!

Read the beginning on this article: http://rootmyandroid.org/how-to-unbrick-your-android-device-the-ultimate-guide.html/
the bricked term is a common misconception for phones that still turn on..
