I tried to root my G1 from this link..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
Made it through the first few steps well, until i finally began to upgrade the image dreaimg or w,e.. It failed on me & now i cannot leave the screen. I remove the battery & turn it on. but when i do it stays in the same spot.. I tried everything & need some help.. ]:
Here is a pic of the screen.. : http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/4355/picture001bk.jpg
Did it start updating, then stop in the middle of it? Did the phone turn off due to running out of battery during the flash? Did you format your card to FAT32, download the proper RC for the original sale location of your phone?
Try pulling the battery at, then removing your SD card, do a long format to FAT32 (whether it is or not) copy the dreamimg.nbh onto the SD card, put the SD card back in the phone, put the battery back in, put it on a charger not turned on for 30 minutes, then take it off the charger...
Now that you have done all that, try booting into boot loader again by holding down the camera and power button until it goes into that screen again and does it's thing.
If this doesn't work, well, good luck since I have no idea from there.
Yes i've tried all of that.. Once i remove my battery it turns on, but as soon as i put it on again it turns on & the same screen appears.. There nothing i can do to go back to the Home screen.. D':
I most likely made a mistake but now i cannot fix this! ]:
SOme onee! please help me.. ]:
Everyone continues to ignore my thread..
have you tried to reset within there by pressing Home+menu+end? ppl are not ignoring.. jus they dont kno how to help.. as the guy already gave ideas that im pretty sure everyone would have said

When does this screen appear? Instead of the G1 screen or after it? If after, hold down home+Power and get into recovery, try reflashing your rom.

That screen is the only thing that ever appears on my phone.. ]:I cant take that screen away like i want too.. So it appears instead of the G1 screen..
If that is the only screen that ever shows up, you very well may be bricked, I hate to say it.
It really sounds like during your flashing of the .nbh file it was disrupted for one reason or another, either the battery died or it was a corrupted file, so the only file left on the phone is the boot loader. Thus, it is the only thing that will show...
Of course, I am not 100% positive without knowing exactly what you did, not being able to mess with the phone myself, and so forth.
Some people have been able to bring phones back from the dead by getting lucky and being able to get ADB to work... try plugging the phone into your computer using a data cable and see if you can get any sort of ADB to work, perhaps seeing if you can get the stock HTC update program to recognize the phone and hopefully flash it into working.

So then is there anyway to restart the phone? Like a secret way? & when i connect my phone to the computer when its shut off, it appears on the computer but not completely.. it says that one of the files are not recognized. Damn, this is really a pain.. ]:
So, you cannot boot into recovery, correct? And have you tried to connect to your pc and use ADB?

Agreed.
You should read up tutorials on ADB and see if you can use ADB to access your phone. If you can, your phone can still be recovered.
If not - then yeah, brick.

Is there a file in the android system that, sort of like an autoexec.bat, lists what to do on startup? For example forcing the system into recovery or download on power on?
I flashed the latest Vibrant firmware and did so with the option to repartition, which Im now finding out was not the right way to flash this one.
Long story short, it didnt contain the dbdata directory information and now, I am unable to boot and unable to get to download. I still have ADB access, it just isnt responding to ADB reboot download, it just comes right back up booting into recovery to flash the last stage of odin before it starts up.
Is there a way to force the phone back into download mode or force it to stop rebooting into recovery?
Pull battery out and USB to use the hardware buttons to manually get into download mode?
P.S. wrong forum
Aren't there some apps that can do that? I do it manually but like you said its not working for you, p.s im downloading that firmware

Manual buttons arent seemingly working, so far ive tried every conceivable combination of vol up down and power, even if all I do is plug the phone in Im back in recovery before the battery turns green.
(ps. I know, but I had a billion percent better chance not getting a mouthbreather response, despite the definite chance of flame posts lol)

Have you successfully gotten into Download mode with hardware buttons before? Or are you one of those vibrants with "locked download?"
I have a feeling mines locked, Ive never used the buttons to successfully get into download mode, just adb reboot download
EDIT: Tried the posts suggestions, problem is second I plug in the USB and the battery pops up it goes right to recovery. Even if im holding the buttons before hand.

x_x don't know what to tell you then. With locked hardware, you have to be really careful because if something goes wrong you cant manually get back in there. Do you have Clockwork Recovery? try restoring to a previous nandroid backup.

I was working with that a bit, but it just kept getting to datadata and being unable to wipe or flash to it due to the odin botch. I tried wiping it clean and it just wouldnt let me do that to reflash.
So now im stuck at the samsung recovery screen without the ability to get into clockwork or flash lol
This smells like 130 bucks for a new phone I think... brick number two >.>

I didnt! But when I was formatting and it failed to reapply the nandroid completely cause of the section it couldnt mount, now when I hit reinstall packages it just reboots. Same with shell, it just yells at me and tells me to die in a fire.
if you didnt figure this out, the way to fix it is to first flash WITH ODIN the original JVD firmware and check repartition, then flash the new one IN ODIN without the repartition box checked.
first update includes the dbdata that the phone is looking for.
Yeah, I figured it out now, but Odin is seriously the devil if your phone doesnt have the hardware buttons enabled.
Now heres a question, if I can still get into stock recovery... is there a way to like, you know, recover using the stock system? lol
BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS that Tmo is letting me warranty out my phone for free, shipping me a new one, and gave me a loner while I wait.
TMo for the win.

lol looks like you and I are in the same boat man. Hardware lock FTMFL. I have never been able to get into download mode, or recovery mode with the hardware keys, only with adb reboot recovery/download and terminal emulator app with SU privs. I wish there was a jumper we could reset to unlock it haha that'd be the s*# son. Good old pentium 133 in the palm of the hands, but no . Atleast they are taking care of the people who don't do things properly.
I did the same thing and ended up with the same problem, but i was able to get in into download mode. When i would plug it in it would try to boot into recovery after the battery screen i would use the keys to make it boot to download mode instead of recovery, it was a *****, but i got it, though idk if there is another way for people with locked down phones.
Hi...
Ok.. I was on rogers 2.2 stock, I was trying to follow instructions to install paragon, anyway, it didnt work, my phone was still working great tho.. so i tried flashing stock jh6 with the one click from the wiki here... That worked and I now have a rogers phone with att stuff loading up. anyway, I am trying to complete the instructions for paragon but I can no longer get to recovery mode.
the att logo keeps rebooting if i keep holding down vol up and down, what do I do now ?
Edit : I cant seem to even get to download mode Recovery mode always worked before, download mode was always tricky, but it refuses now
do you have adb installed?? if so run adb reboot recovery in command prompt.
OR
Take out battery, take out sim and SD card. press and hold VOL UP/DOWN. put in battery, press power. release power upon seeing AT&T sign. pray.
Works for me about 99 times outta 100 at this point!
but i prefer adb since its much more fool proof!

<captainhindsight>You should not have flashed JH6.</captainhindsight>
As per the above post, boot the phone, enable debugging and use 'adb reboot recovery'. After you get that sorted, flash the 3 button fix and never flash to stock unless stock firmware is your final destination or your phone is so hosed you have to use download mode to fix it. If you do use odin in the future then use the right one for your phone build so you don't lose your button combos.

Nor should you have allowed yourself to be photographed in a compromising position wit Courtney Love...Sorry, couldn't resist.
but I only followed instructions Everyone that asks was getting told to go try and blah blah, well that was what I was doing.
You know now I am really stuck. I did use adb and restored stock and didnt want to mess with my phone anymore, but the at&t logo kept popping up, im with rogers. I found a fix and was following those instructions when odin screwed up, it started flashing then said it failed, it happened to me once before but my combo key was working then.
I dont understand why it stopped, It seemed to be intermittent, a bunch of issues, after flashing that at&t rom.
I wish I could fix it, I am stressing out over it, ill get the stuff for that jig tomorrow and hope that works. This phone is brand new! I am not a modder or hacker, I got stiffed by rogers and samsung with the voice dial over bluetooth issue, they wouldnt take the phone back.
I would love to have the att logo gone, rogers froyo 2.2, and broken bluetooth.. Its better than a paper weight. Please help me ! You know what.. I can live what that logo.. I just want to get my phone operational.
Goodnight, and thanks for your help.
i'm guessing you didn't flash the 3 button fix that opcow suggested before doing anything else?
if you can get into download mode, flash this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812434
No I didn't, in its forum it says if you had no problems initially with the 3 buttons, this is not for you. Thats what it said! I was told I shouldnt have done that and should have flashed the 3 button fix after the fact.
I just bought resistors, ill be home later to try and force download mode.
Thanks for your help, I am not as upset as I was yesterday, I was tired.
got a dilema here. Went to flash a rom and half way through the flash, the phone rebooted its self. got back into the bootloader but cant get back into recovery. When i try to get to recovery it just goes back to the bootloader.
in sdk, i did adb devices and the device doesnt show
How do I reinstall a recovery again, Hope i didnt screw myself here.

Hi. So I have a N6 which I appear to have bricked in some way. The phone was bootloader unlocked, rooted, everything. Then I got cute and just wiped everything off the phone, in my haste and stupidity. Now I seem unable to get it back to working status.
I am willing to pay someone to do this for me, as I need to know if it is salvageable, or just something to use for parts.
Any enterprising person is encouraged to respond. Thanks for the consideration.
More details please?
"Wiped everything off the phone"? How? In TWPR or Factory Reset? In ADB?
Does it boot at all? Does is partially boot and get stuck at Google screen or boot animation? Do you see any light at all coming from it?
Can you boot into Bootloader (Volume Up+Power) or Recovery (Volume Down + Power)?
Need just a bit more information before a proper diagnosis can be performed.
sounds like you did a "full" wipe, full as in everything. what you want to do is move a rom, a kernel, and supersu to your phone and flash it. you can do that via adb, or just with twrp.

Either flash a stock rom in fastboot or adb sideload a custom rom in TWRP, you`re not bricked. Did you format the sdcard or wipe the OS?

Just in case you don't know: to boot into bootloader hold volume down and power from an unpowered state (phone off). After that: fastboot stock or flash a custom ROM through TWRP.

You didn't wipe the bootloader.
Hold volume down, then hold power.
The phone will boot to fastboot mode and you can use fastboot to flash the factory image... Google supplies complete instructions on this on the factory image page, and there are tons of guides here....
Fastboot to stock and leave your phone stock until you learn at least the basics of what your doing.
BTW you had to do this to even get TWRP on your phone but you were lazy and used a toolkit instead of learning how to flash images to your phone, and as a result you have no idea how to fix anything
This is why we don't use toolkits kids.

I suppose thanks are in order. Admittedly, I messed up, and I did use a toolkit. But since lazy is a character trait and not necessarily an action, perhaps you can try and keep it positive. You don't know me, so don't characterize me. You can be helpful without beating your chest and calling people lazy. Happy Holidays!

This is true. One should never mess with something when they dont know what they are doing. This is the major issue with toolkits. It makes people dumber.
Yes, I used the toolkit this time, but now that I am restored, really want to get into this, and I have downloaded the appropriate tools for doing this without a toolkit. Like I said to scryan, the tone here is pretty negative. I am really grateful for the help I was given. Have a good day everyone.
John, I have watched your thread with interest (catchy title... ) and I sort of agree that there is a certain negativity in some of the answers, particularly when it comes to toolkits. However, you didn't help your case with your comment "I suppose thanks are in order". Yes, they are. People here can be a bit prickly but everyone does try to help.
Good luck with learning more about manual updating. I've used Wugfresh's NRT many times with success, but it's actually very rewarding to type the commands and achieve the result on your own.
So, when do we get the money?
