I dont think ive seen this before!! Please check this out and help

hey guys, i am not new to the scene but i have actually run into a big problem.
A few minutes ago i flashed a Hero rom followed by the ebi1 kernel, it booted up perfectly fine and went into installation, still no problems.
Once installation finished i learned that for some reason the home app(launcher) doesn't load, it just constantly gives an error force close when trying to go to the home.
Everything else does work.
I then decided to reflash the ROM, when booting my phone it would not go into recovery, i held the home button and it froze at rogers logo,
I tried again after a battery pull and same result, i thought uh oh, BRICK!
When i rebooted again( holding nothing down ) I learned that it apparently does boot! if i leave it alone, it does the whole buttons light up screen dims thing just before it boots, then the screen dies off and I hear a sound meaning usb connected, **(all this while it is still showing the second boot screen)**
The end button works to turn screen off and on but it it stuck at the second (MLGIN or whatever nexus style boot screen)
I nave now found a way to actually get past the boot screen, if i call the phone it will go into the dialer and I can actually use it as a phone!!, once in like this I can actually use the phone completely except for going to launcher(home), I can make calls (if someone calls me to get into the dialer), use the lockscreen, send a message (if someone sends one to me), enable usb mount.
I have a nandroid and a BART saved but like I said i cannot get into recovery.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Please let me know if my post doesnt make any sense, i can try and get my thoughts out again!
EDIT I CAN get Droid explorer to work, this means i can install any apps that could help! but i dont think i could launch them
-with droid explorer i can use terminal, cant i launch stuff with that? also, when i click Bart manager it says i need to buy a license, aww
- I clicked on reboot into recovery in droid manager, the phone rebooted but it hung at the rogers logo, I really cant understand how the recovery doesn't work!
EDIT it WILL boot into fastboot mode!

Can i install an alternate launcher with droid explorer, I think that if i can do this, when i hit home it will give me the option of choosing which laucher right? i then choose the new one.
Any one know where to get a different launcher? or perhaps the launcher from this ROM so i can try and reinstall it
Because i can use droid explorer, the options are nice,
I still need help organising the above attempt, but if that fails I could also use the flash recovery image option in DE and try that.
Am i right in saying that I should first try and get a different launcher to work or should i go straight for the recovery. If the recovery doesnt wokr could I lose access to the phone booting? (thus droid explorer)

OK I would LOVE some community help here:
I think i wave 3 options
1) install any apk (namely a new launcher and get the phone to atleast function properly)
2) Re flash a recovery image
3) Flash a ROM
All of these would be done with droid explorer, i think i have listed them from least risky to most risky (if i flash ROM and that doesn't fix it i could be out of droid explorer)
Could you guys help me start up, where can i get what, my mind is racing too much!!!

ok, using droid explorer i re flashed the recovery, it now boots into recovery. i am going to reflash the hero rom as i really want to use it!

My Galaxy has failed to load :( Please help urgently

I have JG5 installed and put Docs v.7 on my phone was working well for 2 days and today I turned phone on and off and it loads , but a black screen.
The screen lock is there with clock, I slide glass away and just blackness.. no buttons bring up anything, I can't do anything because I cant get into debug mode I am unable to do anything
Please please help me asap

Read the FAQ first please. I'm pretty sure there is a solution for you there!
PS: Weird things can happen on CustomROMs because the result of removing/changing certain components of the f/w is not completely predictable!

I read that a few days ago,
Ive already done a factory reset via vol up + home and I can see the original background but there are all these errors popping up
Sorry the process android process. acore has stopped please try again. force close
there are dozens of them, touchwiz is broken everything...
I cant do anything there are errors coming up.. how do I put a safe update.zip onto my USB??

I cant even mount my USB due to the errors coming up and coming up everytime I force close on the last error
Please help me with some ideas.
I cant go into USB debug mode, I cant mount USB drive. I cant access anything on the phone.. what can I do?

In between all the errors popping up I managed to mount my USB and put SamSet 1.1 update on there, I vol up + home and loaded the update..
It restarted and the notification bar looks diff but all the errors are still coming on..
logsprovider
gallery
twlauncher
media..
I force close them all but they keep coming around..
Going into download mode enables debug mode yeah? If it doesnt I am screwed..
The phone was working beautifully for 2 days, nothing has changed for all this to go stupid I hate when tech goes wrong and you have changed nothing...

The laptop needed a reboot Flashed JG5 via odin and its all happy now
Please be cautious when applying custom ROM's is the lesson here. phew!

[Q] Soft-Bricked G1

So I purchased a used G1 and I knew it has some software issues. I have no idea what version OS or anything is on this phone. Issue is it will not boot up into the OS. After researching (I am new to android) I have found what it can and what I cant get it to do. I can get into recovery mode no problem and after an ALT-L I see "Android System Recovery <2e>". The phone usually boots into this mode straight away, or I can hold home+power and it will enter the mode. Tried doing a "wipe data/factory reset" but nothing changes. If I reboot the phone and hold "back" I would expect it to enter Fastboot mode where I could do stuff. Instead I see the "rainbow screen" very briefly and then a message saying that if I want to restore factory setttings press send, otherwise hit any other key to cancel. No matter what I press nothing happens and I have to pull battery. I can only get into this mode every now and then. It seems pretty finicky about getting into it, and again no options when I do. Finally the camera+power to get into the bootloader does nothing. I can get the PC to see the phone when in recovery mode. It showed up as a mass storage device and i got that changed over to "Android Phone" by installing the SDK drivers.
Is there anything I can do on the recovery screen? That is the only thing that consistently works. I have tried a few update.zip files (various OTA updates I downloaded) but I either get a "No signature" error or it starts installing and then immediately get an "Installation aborted".
Any help to get this up and running would be appreciated. Hopefully its not just useless. For now an OEM 1.5 build is really all a i need. I can worry about updating/rooting later.

Download dream.nbh and format your sd card then place the dream onto ur sd card reboot holding home+cam button and let it do its magic that's how I fixed mine I'm sure if you go to the htc site you will find all the files u need just do a bit more research before trying this

I mentioned in my original post that the camera+power button to enter bootloader mode does not do anything. I have already researched solutions, but it only seems I have access to the recovery mode screen. What can be done from there to assist with this issue (if anything)?

Download and flash the files from here http://developer.htc.com/adp.html (ota radio and system image) rename them update and flash them one at a time

As for the no sig error just do some reasarch on adb shell and flash clockworkmod recovery from there its easy once u do some searching.....dw a couple of weeks ago I was you lol it'll pan out ok the people round here are really helpful

Does this require adb? I have not been successful in making my pc get an adb connection. When in recovery mode the phones shows up on my pc and I got it to show up as android, but "adb devices" does not show anything listed. Everything referencing adb says it needs USB Debugging enabled, but I cant do that I cant get into the OS to enable. I dont seem to be able to enter fastboot mode either (see original post).

Download the radio and recovery image format sd card rename the ota radio update.zip boot into recovery and select apply update from sd card one you have that done delete the update.zip and then place the recovery image on sd card but rename update.zip and do the same....should work for ya

When trying to update the radio files (tried all 3 versions on the download page) I get the "E: No signature (5 files)" error. Can I generate a valid signature for the files?

its worth a try lol if that dont work then i really dont know whats wrong lol

So far I have tried the following files:
The following pass verification and I get to the "Installing update..." but I then instantly get an "Installation Aborted". No other error message as to why:
signed-kila-CRC1-from-CRB43-FIX.7ca4a1d7.zip
signed-kila-DRC83-from-CRC1.c41b93c1.zip
signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip
signed-PLAT-RC33-from-RC30.zip
signed-RC30-from-RC29-fat.1582cace.zip
The following I get a "No Signature" error:
signed-dream_gfh-ota-147201.6d1386de.zip
ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip
ota-radio-1_22_12_29.zip
ota-radio-1_22_14_11.zip
I did a Wipe data and Cache before each update.zip attempt and this was using the "Android system recovery <2e>" screen.
Ideas? I will look and see if I can add a signature to the radio files.

dont spose u flashed the recovery with clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7
too short

I have not been successful flashing anything to the phone so far. All this was done via the "Android system recovery <2e>".
I signed the radio files myself, but they came out identical and same issues occurred. No idea what the "No signature" error is. Seems like a bunch of people get it on the forums, but no solutions. No idea why the good updates suddenly abort.

forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4647751&postcount=1

Unfortunatly that seems to require fastboot, adp, or a rooted phone. I tried installing another SPL and I keep getting the "No Signature" error.

wow man your having a tough ass time lol ill keep researching for ya

i think your home button maybe stuck lol
far to short

You know thats not a bad idea. It does actually boot into recovery mode without holding the home button like you are meant to. Would holding home when powering on prevent the boot loader from starting if I hold the camera button?

on my g1 if i hold home power and cam buttons i get the bootloader/fastboot menu

So I ordered a new battery for it today too. The phone does not seem to work too long without being plugged in. Maybe that will help.
I also managed to capture some pictures of the screens I have, so maybe that will assist people with diagnosing the issue.
The first is the rainbow screen I get when holding back on a reboot. It flashes for 1 second or so and then displays the white screen with blue text. The last pic is the recovery menu I have access to.
It looks like this is a fully stock phone, no flashes. I am going to keep trying to get into that bootloader screen. Getting into the rainbow screen works once every 20 tries or so. Maybe the bootloader is similar. Hitting send on the white screen does nothing and requires a battery pull to reset phone.

how long can you stay in the coloured menu for ?????? also what happens if you stay there like what options do you get???

G1 won't boot

Hey guys, today my friend asked me to fix his G1 for him because it wouldn't boot. I thought I could figure it out, but I have tried a bunch of different things, and non of them have worked. It gets passed the G1 screen, but then shows a phone with an exclamation mark above it (pic below). Can anyone help me?

Nobody? It refuses to downgrade to RC29 or RC7. I have no idea what is wrong. It will not boot into the bootloader either. End + Camera does nothing.

when you get to that screen can you get to the menu by pressing alt + L?

I can get to the menu, but when I try to flash an update it says update aborted.

what type of update did you try to flash? stock recovery can only flash ota updates try just wiping and rebooting.. if nothing than you can always try rooting... but becareful, you might want to make sure he or you has a data plan

If your friend just want to get it back to working G1 without rooting it. All you have to do is download the dreaming.nbh file and reflash it using camera+power.
Then it will be reloaded with Android 1.0. After that autoupdate will upgrade it to 1.6. In this case you will need someone with a data plan. If not then you'll have to use ADB to turn on wifi.

The thing is the power+camera doesn't do anything, just takes me to the same screen. I think it must just be broken because, with his permission, I took it apart and found it has water damage. It has also been dropped a lot. Thanks for the help!

[Q] HTC One can't get into HBoot

Hi XDA-developers
Last night I wanted to flash my HTC One with the custom Google Edt. ROM (first time having an android and first time trying to flash custom ROM and all that stuff). Everything worked fine flashing to the ROM, unlocking bootloader and all, and then wanted to install my backup I did using HTC Sync Manager. Fortunately HTC Sync Manager wouldn't recognize my phone so I could not get into the backup. I tried flashing back to stock ROM, provided by Mike1986). That kinda worked, I have the stock HTC One ROM, but when I turn it on, I constantly get messages saying android.process.acore has stopped and Talk has stopped. Earlier on it said some other android.processes has stopped worked, but it doesn't say that anymore. The point where I am blocked is whenever I turn on my phone it wants me to download "A Personalize update is available". I can't seem to minimize or get around it, and when I try to press OK nothing happens. The Fast Boot is enabled, so I don't know how to get back to HBoot since I need to disable it to use the Powerbutton + volume down method.
TL;DRj
Anyone know how to get to Hboot without disabling Fast Boot option in settings?
UPDATE
Figured it out. When stuck at the Personalize Update window, I held the home button down and another window opened with all apps showing. Went into settings and turned Fast Boot off. Now I just hope I can fix the problem.
