problems after flashing spl

was running HSPL10.95.3000 and decided to flash 1.33.2005 but now im having problems.
installed new spl on sd card, renamed it to update. entered recovery mode and alt+s it and after it was done i did the reboot and now its stuck on the g1 screen.
any suggestions?
ok so i turned off the g1 and tried installing the spl again, alt+s, it was done. rebooted, now its on recovery mode and its saying :Formatting Cache:...

Haykuro's new spl
My phone is doing the exact same thing... If only I read the comments on that how to get root partition sd in the console and install the jachero 2.63 maybe I woulda known this would happen... How to restore? I used nandroid backup but it isn't working...

yeah, trying to restore but not looking good lol
hope i didn't brick my g1

did you install the radio first? Do you have a DVT or PVT device? If you have DVT or didn't flash the radio first, your phone is bricked...

If you can access recovery, then your device is not bricked, try booting into the bootloader (Camera + Power). If the SPL is the new one, try flashing a new ROM, if its the old one, try re-flashing the SPL.

<BACK> FastBoot Mode.
like i said befor i try to do a restore but it keeps looping, how can I install a new rom?
now if i hit the back key it highlites the "FASTBOOT" and says this:
<camera step2> HBoot Mode
<send> Reset Device
<action> Restart to HBoot
<menu> Power Down.
I really dont wanna "F" up my g1 lol

Go ahead and boot into recovery (Home + Power), then just flash a ROM of your choice.

how do i flash a new rom from the recovery? how do i open up my memory card?
i try to reboot my g1 from there and it loops at the g1 screen then it opens up recovery again. Do i need to get me a card reader to install the rom?

Alrite listen up. Turn off your phone (pull battery out). BOot into recovery (YOU DO!?! have cyanogen's recovery RIGHT?!?!!) and go into console. Connect your usb and type ums_enable
Now you should be able to copy a ROM onto your sdcard. Once its copied to your sdcard, type ums_disable in the recovery console to unmount your sdcard. Remove the usb cable, type reboot recovery and just wipe and flash

try adb

There r two ways u can flash without a cardreader one is to put the sd from Ur g1 into anybody fone and once the file is on the card put it back in the g1 got to recovery and flash. Or anybody option is to do a adv push it the file to Ur sd.

Easy solutions. Put rom on sdcard either thru recovery like another poster said or in a card reader then update again.

sorry for not replying after my last post but i had to fly out of the house since i was getting late for work
sucks to be without a phone for a day lol
after work i went to frys and bought me a $3 micro usb reader and just got home and installed cms rom and its loading up right now. I'll let you know how it goes.

ok a update on my situation.
went to recovery and flashed cm's newest rom and now everything seems its back to normal. gonna reflash cm's recovery and backup now. thanks for all the info guys!

no problem, if you do happen to fix your phone, could you change the title to add [SOLVED] so that others who have the same problem can come here and find the solution?

I wanted to root it.
Followed the steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558301. Got SPL 1.33.2005. Everything fine so far.
Then followed the steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4280573#post4280573 all the way to step 11. Everything fine.
I wanted to put on the latest Cyanogen mod and I know that I need to flash HTC image first and then immediately Cyanogen ROM. So I wanted to put in Cyanogen's recovery image http://www.cyanogenmod.com/downloads/recovery-image to be able to apply any zip from sdcard.
I did the
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img
and after that I wasn't able to boot to recovery image. I was stuck on Rogers boot screen.
So I re-did steps in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4280573#post4280573 all the way to step 11.
Now I'm stuck on Rogers boot screen. I waited an hour, so it's not impatience.
Cannot boot normally.
Cannot boot to recovery.
Cannot boot to fastboot either.
Am I bricked?
Any way I can get out of this?
Please help.
Thank you!

If you can't get to bootloader, or recovery.....you're bricked.

I guess there is no way to unbrick it?
Just out of curiosity. Which one of my steps I outlined above did it?
I have succesfully rooted G1 before, but to be honest I don't quite know what each step is doing.
Thanks.

Based on the information you provided, I'm not exactly sure. I'm not too familiar with the Roger's process.

Thanks anyway.

hi im not sure with rodgers ,but did you have trouble with the recovery image you said
I did the
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img did it not flash right ? it sound like some were after step 11 were it did it plus there was a note on the post you followed about newer phones said this would work on older phones? but if you cant get into recovery ,etc then it bricked .also when you root a phone next time i would put a rom on it thats a basic one then once it running and working then i would go to a rom like Cyanogen mod .might go to his site and ask him to if you have twitter ask him on there .if you have just bought it not long ago then call your service provider and play dum say it just stop working they should replace it or call htc they prob will to .good luck

lucky 69,
the fastboot flash recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img finished fine. Only after that I could no longer get to recovery mode.
I'll try to play dumm, the only problem is that I bought the phone off craigslist, so I don't have a receipt

ya it wont matter just call htc prob they will ask for your seril number and they can tell you if it is still under warranty you will have better luck with them than your provider . good luck you shouldnt need a recpt.

/just as a last resort, take out your battery, hold the camera button, and put it back in to see if it will boot into the spl. if it doesnt start right away, try holding power right after doing it again

Follow this, if you want CM keep going all the way through, if you want someone else's ROM then flash that instead of CM's.

hey, ok so my latest update is that i got myself to SPL 1.33.2005
i was able to boot into everything that was needed (power + camera) (power + home)

Hold your horses! That isn't the link I gave you to follow... You are in dangerous territory right now... what all have you done, exactly? Flashing that SPL can and will brick your phone if not done right.

I was using the link you gave me, close to the top it says to follow the linked guide for rogers phones as they are done differently(my phone is rogers)
that link leads you to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558301
once done that it says to go to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4848777&postcount=506 (never mind i should not use this as his spl is different as well, not the spl gotten from the previous link)
OR
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654
this first one is a relply of the second link (supposedly easyer)
LAST EDIT:
So, should i continue following
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654

Ok, carry on! As long as your reasd twice and do once you should be ok. And don't worry about the 'on' vs 'off', the big concern is what board do you have, and you have the 32b PVT, which is the one you need. I believe that 'on' 'off' is in regards to carrier lock.

like i edited, the first link guy does not have the SPL that I now have, i will be following the final link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654
When it says:
"once you are at SPL 1.33.2005 (AND ONLY THEN)
download this (it is hyperlinked)
(md5: 4a58a5702fdf899547011888d9cc066f .. sha1: 99e38e4f8798e952e67421a42e7b053ea70957b7)
extract both images wherever you'd like."
does it mean extract whereever on the sd?

I would assume extract and place on the root of the SD card based off the fact you will be doing all this from fastboot, aka the phone itself.

alright so i did that stuff, now when i boot the phone hangs at the rogers logo, what should i try.

did make a nandorid back up in the recovery menu a little while ago, how an i use it to go back? or is there another option to do something?
I can still boot into the recovery menu and camera+ power menu

Can you get into recovery? First boots take a long time as well, how long has it been hung up? But it sounds like you don't have a ROM on the device currently.

I can get into recovery, It was hung for like 4-5 minutes before i reset it. I dont think i did the fastboot stuf right, I pressed send inorder to fastboot, it said fastboot and i started typing the stuff on the link (you cannot see anything i was just typing) i then rebooted to recovery and Alt+s applyed the update (cynogen).
it is hung at the rogers screen. Can you try and translate the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654
a bit better and i can try the fast boot part again?
In the guide it says press back arrow to get inot fast boot but on my screen there is only one option for fastboot and it is the send button.

I tryed to use the update.zip file again but this time it said that it could not mount and that the directory does not exist.

It sounds like you did do the fastboot right, actually, since if you didn't it would boot up fully...
I would try this, dl this rom and put it on the root of your sd card, then boot into recovery mode and select "flash any .zip update" or whatever the exact wording is, then select the file named "dwang-v1.15" and follow the onscreen prompts. It is also probably a good idea to get your phone on a charger sometime soon, wouldn't be surprised if the battery is getting close to dead since when in fast boot and recovery and during boot up itself battery drain is pretty quick.
I truly think you did the fastboot stuff right, since when done you should have the SPL and radio, recovery, but no ROM and need to boot into recovery and flash the new ROM.
Forgot to give the link to the ROM, it is dwang's, my personal favorite and a good starting point to work from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567023

the option is apply update.zip so i should probably change the file name to that. Ill give it a go.

its still hanging on the rogers icon, weird. Perhaps i should use the nandoid backup? if you agree that that is the best option how would i do that?
another note, when i tryed to flash the rom you gave me it did not let me, game a an error about mounting and cannot find a file, I then put the recovery images back onto the sd card and the operation worked this time, it was unpackin na extracting and everything. Now it is still hung.

I would probably just nandroid at this point, yes

can ou guide me on how to do that?

Hmmmmmmm, do this for me as well, boot into boot loader (camera+power) and tell me what it says on the screen.

Stuck at G1 screen, PLEASE HELP!

Okay, so I know what everyone says, "make sure you know what you're doing before you update to Danger SPL." So I read and re-read all the forums and guides about various problems and how to avoid them and how to flash the radio and SPL, THEN after I was comfortable I decided to go for it.
So here is my issue:
I used the two sd card method. After wiping, I flashed the radio to 2.22.19.26I, then rebooted. I wiped again and flashed the SPL to 1.33.2005, took out the SD card and put the other one in. I rebooted from console (using command "reboot recovery"), wiped again, and flashed CM 4.2.10.1 and rebooted. After this final reboot it sticks at the G1 screen and doesn't do anything beyond here. I also tried reflashing everything and formatting the new SD card, then loaded the CM version with RA's USB-MS mode and flashed it. Same effect, stuck on G1 screen.
I still have access to the recovery image as well as fastboot and the screen with the androids on the scateboards (bootloader? I'm niot sure). WIth those things in mind, I don't think I have bricked anything, but of course that doesn't help the fact that I can't use the phone. Any help here would be AWESOME.

Just checking cause you didn't mention this step but before flashing Cyanogen 4.2.10.1 did you flash the HTC ADP image??
Have you tried flashing any other ROM's??
Since you still have recovery && bootloader you're not in a terrible position, you're not bricked, just gotta find out where you're going wrong

Snab a copy of cyanogen's rom (update.zip) and recovery image (on the forums)
Boot the phone into fastboot (power off, hold camera button and power on)
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
this should insure that you have a proper recovery image.
boot into recovery mode now (you can press the menu button to power off the device from the SPL menu, then hold the HOME button and power on the device)
Code:
adb devices
you may need to do this a couple times until it shows up, once adb reports your device is available
Code:
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push update.zip /sdcard
then press ALT+S (or select the option from the menu using your wheel)
let the rom flash.
when it's complete, reboot your device (HOME+BACK) or just use the menu again.
it should now boot.. if it takes a bit longer than usual, check if the device is active using:
Code:
adb devices
if your device is listed, see if it's actually doing something using
Code:
adb logcat
if you see a bunch of "E/" followed by text, your phone is erroring out and you may have to report back here for further assistance, if you see a bunch of "apks" and "jars" flying by, your phone is booting it's just checking signatures most likely.

ADP image? I did the steps exactly as I described them. Should I have flashed HTCs ADP image? I guess so, if thats what I did to get CM in the first place. Is that the image that puts all the Google Apps on the phone? Also, if I'm getting CM v4.2.10.1 from the website, and I'm coming from a new radio and SPL, should I have to treat it as though I'm not updating and am coming from a freshly rooted phone?
and @haykuro, I'll try that as soon as I get the time.

Before you flash Cyanogen for the first time you need to flash HTC's ADP image
Check out the Cyanogen's Wiki for a full guide on installing his rom
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
Since you've already gotten as far as getting a custom recovery skip down to the section called "File Download" and continue on, that should get you on the right track
Yes that is the image that get's you all the Google Apps
Yes after installing the 1.33.2005 SPL you have to reinstall a fresh ROM

Worked like a charm! Kinda makes me feel like an idiot though for not thinking about needing to treat it like a fresh install instead of an update, but I'm glad it worked!

Man! 5 hours is 5 hours too long!

[Q] To start anew!

So I've been using CM 6.0 for a while now, and recently my phone has begun getting worse and worse. It's now down to only lasting about 8 hours, and stops sending text messages several times every day (requiring a power down, and turn off). Not to mention when I power off my phone, it turns right back on again.
As you can tell it's been quite frustrating. I think my real problems began a few months ago when my phone wouldnt turn on. It was fully charged and everything but it wouldnt get past the "Rogers" boot screen (this is on a Rogers HTC Dream). Luckily I was able to boot into recovery and flash CM 6.1.0. It was a messy flash, as it didn't wipe anything but it did get my phone working. So my phones just been getting progressively ****tier since then. And now i can't even get into the recovery mode, or install Clockwork Mod.
So basically what I'm asking here is if anyone can point me in the direction of a guide to FULLY wipe my phone, and update my SPL/Drivers/Radio/Recovery Image/etc to the latest/most stable, and to do a clean install of CM 6(or 7).
Thanks.

I think this will work for you to get all of that but the cm6/7. Although i assume you know where to find that at.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139

Thanks for the response, I will do my best to follow this guide.
First small problem I ran into though.
My SPL:
-Which is the newest/best SPL to work with?
-and how do I check which one I have? If i remember correctly it needs to be checked through the recovery console, which I dont have access too :S
Help?
Thanks.

Well you see Send-fastboot. You can get into fastboot. That is bootloader mode. Now you can download the recovery of your choice and go on to flashing a rom.
This will give you step by step on how to get the newest recovery radio/spl all through fastboot mode. Then you can flash your rom in the recovery you just flashed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
