G1 stuck on bootloader screen (G1 screen) PLEASE HELP!!! - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

HardSPL should not cause a brick with the RC29 radio, unless you are mistaking HardSPL 10.95.3000 for DeathSPL 1.33.2005.. which did you flash?

You should've updated the radio before trying to run eclair, but that wouldn't cause a brick. Can't you get to recovery or bootloader?

HELP!!! Stuck at g1 screen!

I just got a new g1 and i was rooting it but forgot to install the new spl before flashing a build so i flashed the build and got a "cant symlink" error.
After that i figured out it was the spl so i flashed the new spl and it installed fine but when it said press home+back to reboot i just took out the battery...
Now I have to tried to boot the phone into recovery with home+power and camera+power and it still just remains on the g1 screen!
Please help!
Cant SYMLINK
First of all did you install the radio first? AND THEN THE SPL? or did u just install the SPL?
If you only installed the SPL then youre pretty much f****d and you need to go get a replacement device.
If you installed the radio first then the SPL then you should be ok just go back to recovery and reflash RADIO THEN SPL u can get them [here], but from what youre saying thats not the case.
If you do have to go to get a new device, it is free **at least mine was** I just said that i plugged it in the night before, it had been getting really hot and that when i woke up that morning it just wouldnt turn back on past the G1 boot screen. if you just got it you will be able to get away with saying "the phone said there was an update available, i downloaded the update and now it wont go past this screen" play it dumb and you should be ok.
Good luck, im hopin for the best, it sucks to have a brick lol i been there done that.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS LOAD ANOTHER ROM ON YOUR SD CARD, PULL THE BATTERY, GO INTO RECOVERY, WIPE, AND APPLY THE ROM! that is assuming you can get into recovery?
If you can't get into recovery sounds like another brick in the wall.

Im pretty sure i flashed the radio first but i forgot the spl and flashed the rom next... then i realized i didnt flash the spl and tried to flash it and it "successfully installed the update" so i pulled the battery out to reboot it and it just stuck at the g1 screen when i booted it... and no button combos worked to get into boot loader or anything like that...
but i called tmobile and they are sending me a new phone on tuesday lol
i dunno if i want to try it again =/
i thought i read somewhere that the newer phones brick easier? because of the new "board" or something
so do i

you thought the best way to reboot your phone...was by pulling the battery? even though the recovery said reboot by pressing Home+Back keys to do it, which would be infinately easier? Have you ever "rebooted" your PC by pulling the power cord? nvm dont answer that....
I would suggest you stay the hell away from the spl until you understand wtf your doing.
rebooting PROPERLY would have allowed the image to be written properly.
EDIT: LOL wow nvm this is a thread brought back from the dead......

[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.

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.

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?

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??

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?

Hello everyone,
I have a rooted g1 and I was putting on the 2.1 rom on my phone. I was following a guys instruction off of youtube but it totally messed my phone up. Now its stuck on the pitcure with the open box pointing a yellow arrow on the phone right next to it(the update screen), what do I do??? Thanks for your help.
You dont even have root then...If it shows what i think your taking about....You should follow this simple enough my little brother(7yr) could master it:

That gives bricks applying radio after having root is pointless.

But you have to have a custom recovery image before you can flash either of those.

Ahh you might brick, you seem to have flashed the Radio made for HTC hero not G1....Notice the title: "How to get Android 2.1 on HTC Hero"
To use Hero 2.1 on G1 it shows it here @ XDA, you only needed Haykuro SPL and the 26I radio/
If rec mode is working then you arent brick or if you can get into bootloader.
how do i get in rec mode or bootloader
Hold down home when turning on the phone=recovery
Hold down camera button while powering on= bootloader
If you can't get into either one of those, likely bricked. I know with WM devices flashing a radio for another phone is one of the fastest ways to brick your phone, Android seems to be much more forgiving, so hopefully you will be lucky and if recovery and bootloader don't work, you can possibly get ADB to work.
If you don't figure out how to do this BEFORE you do it, you will likely brick your phone, if not sooner, soon enough. Doing it along with a video isn't enough to make sure you won't brick your phone.
Read through the steps of rooting, flashing a basic, stock ROM, do that a time or two, and then get into the more up-to-date stuff.
Your method of going about a new task is going to... well, it isn't going to work, unless you are really, really lucky.

G1 stuck at G1 screen

Started to root the phone went back to 1.5, worked fine, applied FlashRec.apk and Amon Ra’s Recovery Image installed all that correctly worked fine. Went to install a new radio and spl and applied spl and when i go to start the phone it gets stuck at the G1 boot screen. Tried to book into recovery mode nothing happens , tried to hard & soft reset nothing happens. Phone just stays stuck at the G1 left it on for an hour and still nothing. Please help in any way or ask for more info if need.
Thanks in advance.
if you flashed the danger spl before flashing the new radio, your phone got permanent brick and cannot be solved without JTAG or changing the motherboard.
OK- I have the same problem, except I flashed the wrong radio.
(I thought I needed to update it for a different ROM, but.)
No fastboot, no recovery-- If I hold down the trackball, the screen wont come on, but the blue LED does. Is that useful to me at all??
Can JTAG help me? or is there another way?
I was reading about mtty-- but i'm not sure if that'll work for my G1.
Anything to unbrick this--- I really need my phone for finals week which started to-day.
JTAG is your only option.

MTTY is just a program to talk to the serial port; it is actually part of the JTAG solution as well .. but as mentioned it will not help you at this point in time.

JTAG.. but unless you live near me or one of the very very few others who are set up for jtag hacks.. and that person is confident enough not to make the main board of the phone one big solder blob [I am but I'm not sure if some of the others I've heard poke JTAG are as confident].. it will take you a large chunk of time to learn what is needed to make it work.. or longer than the finals in the mail.
Thus I recommend.. get a cheap phone at the stand at the mall.. and pass your finals before worrying about the brick.
Since everyone who has caused a brick has either (1) not properly followed the directions and warnings.. or (2) did something in haste missing an important step; it will be no good to race it together during finals.
this dream was sent to my friend as a replacement
never used
he gave it to me sayingit wont boot
it gets into fastboot

so i formatted his sdcard, got the DREAIMG.nbh put it on his sdcard, entered into fastboot, and it ran the install (rainbow screen) nothing was happening from there before i copied the DREAIMG.nbh to it, so at least this installed successfully)
then i rebooted (call-menu-power at same time) and still stuck at G1 screen after twenty minutes...whats happening here, anybody?

Odd, the nbh files usually flash a full system.. thus while they might leave you with a rom you don't wish to have they usually will boot afterwards. You did let it fully flash all the partitions correct?
What nbh did you find/flash?
And. Can you still enter the spl or recovery.

what can i do with this thing?

i refuse to lose
well only bootloader means nothing. you cold be getting a bad .nbh and the recovery partition could have something nasty on it. both of those not working doesn't automatically make it a brick. a working bootloader says everything is ok.
set up fastboot and fastboot a new recovery image.
then see if your recovery works. next time i don't respond, feel free to pm me again, lol. i really have a hard time keeping up with where i post.
of course: you can also fastboot a new spl:
http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/downloads/list?q=label:SPL
I recommend:
EngBootloader_v2_NoSigCheck.zip
That way you don't have to mess with that nasty danger spl and then you actually will be bricked.

[Q] Bricked??

I received a G1 from a friend, this isn't actually the first G1 i've rooted. I have one of my own, and I have done about 3 others without any problems what so ever.
I'm not exactly sure what went wrong. I had flashed the recovery, following the cyanogen wiki, and when I got to the flashing the Hard SPL part, i flashed it, (and the radio) and i restarted, and thats it. It just stays at the G1 screen.
No combination of keys work. Home + Power. Camera + Power. Nada.
From most of the threads I've found, I can almost say its a brick, but I just wanted to double check that theres nothing I can do (ADB?).
Thanks!

Yeah, looks like were **** out luck lol. I ended up buying a Magic Slide. Whats weird is that i flashed the radio B4 the spl.

sent it back to the SP with a story of how during the flash the computer crashed. here's to hoping.
got the phone back after being charged about $25 to repair.
anyway this time i read the instructions properly. left the radio on 3.22.20.17 and then installed the one click root and flashrec apps. I then rooted the phone, download Anon-RA's recovery image with flashrec. I then followed the cyanogen wiki and froyo is now running on it.

I received a G1 from a friend, this isn't actually the first G1 i've rooted. I have one of my own, and I have done about 3 others without any problems what so ever.
I'm not exactly sure what went wrong. I had flashed the recovery, following the cyanogen wiki, and when I got to the flashing the Hard SPL part, i flashed it, (and the radio) and i restarted, and thats it. It just stays at the G1 screen.
No combination of keys work. Home + Power. Camera + Power. Nada.
From most of the threads I've found, I can almost say its a brick, but I just wanted to double check that theres nothing I can do (ADB?).
Thanks!

Did you even understand what happened? How's and what is he supposed to do over again if he can't get into bootloader or recovery?
OP, Sorry to say, you have a brick.

It definitely sounds like you have a hard brick. I think the only way to fix your phone is to JTAG JTAG it. Which I have no idea how that works or how to reload the software on your phone.
