G1 only boots into bootloader screen? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently replaced my G1 cause of a hardware issue. I got a new one, downgraded to RC29, gained root, flashed recovery, flashed HardSPL, flashed 22.02 radio, then tried flashing DangerSPL and got stuck on G1 screen. So I downgraded again and redid everything except trying to flash DangerSPL, and then tried installing SuperD 1.9.3. It installed, but when I rebooted it just boots into fastboot mode. So I tried nondanger eclair and same thing. So I downgraded to RC29 and now I cant get passed bootloader screen. I'm not holding te camera button when I reboot it or anything. Any ideas or suggestions?

Flashing without getting past the G1 splash screen?

So basically, I just got through doing the SPL update (I was re-rooting my phone) and now it just hangs at the G1 splash screen.
I've tried booting into the Recovery (I've already applied Cyan's 1.4 recovery img) using (Pwr+Home) and the other things (Pwr+Camera) and still, there's nothing.
Now, I don't have a phone.
And I'm starting to /rage...
Is there anyway I can reflash the R29 without being able to access anything on my phone? just so my phone works atm?

Did you flash the radio before the SPL? Because if ya didn't then you bricked your phone... If you can't boot into recovery or get the SPL to come up.. you're toast. double

help i think i might have bricked my dream

so i flashed the [ROM]TheOfficial DONUT-1.6 TMO US/EU & ADP (dream/sapphire32B) [10/3/09]-v1.9.1 rom this morning and everything went fine, then i went to flash the expansion pack and everything went well the phone rebooted, went past the rogers, sat on the android screen for a bit, then the screen just went black i let it sit for like 20 minutes and still nothing, so i pulled the battery, and tried to reboot into recovery would'nt go just sits at teh rogers screen, so i went boot into fastboot and booted from recovery.img, tried to start from scratch and flashed my spl, it rebooted but now it just gets stuck at the rogers screen and i can't get into spl or recovery am i screwed?

Yes. That's a clear description of a "brick"

bricked - need help

hi,
I have a G1 that I got with unrooted 1.6
I followed instructions at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod to get CM 4.2 on the phone, that worked without any problems
I then installed DangerSPL and followed instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=672992 to get CM 5.0.7 installed, and that also worked.
When I installed ROM Manager to partition SD card for apps2sd, the phone would not boot any more, it kept getting stuck at the G1 / T-mobile screen
I then entered fastboot and reinstalled RC7 (DREAIMG.nbh)... that booted without a problem... I then re-flashed cm-recovery-1.4, went into recovery and installed cm 5.0.7 and gapps... I'm not sure but I may have skipped radio and danger this time around
since then the phone won't boot or enter recovery or enter fastboot... any attempts to boot into any of those results in the phone getting permanently stuck on the G1 / T-mobile screen
I'm out of ideas here, so any help would be greately appreciated.
thanks,

Why would you unroot just because a ROM wouldn't get past the G1 screen. Too bad you didn't post about that instead of completely unrooting and trying again.
Oh, you probably didn't miss danger spl the second time around and forgot to flash radio and now you're soft bricked. Sorry, there's nothing we can do.

How did you flash the RC29? Did you use the OEM recovery by holding the camera and power button?
yes thats how i did it.

Boot hangs after flash, help please.

First I downgraded to 1.0 then upgraded to 1.5. Then I used FlashRec and applied Amon Ra's Recovery Image, rebooted to the SPL, then applied cyanogen 6.1.0 then the gapps file. After rebooting I get to the "G1" splash screen, it... stops... It's been on this screen for 20 minutes. I tried the guide here verbatim first but, alas nothing. How did I screw up this time?
