Stuck on G1 Screen... Please Please Help

Hi,
I had a 1.5 G1. I rooted it and updated to a JF1.5.1
I decided to experiment a little bit more and I tried to install HardSPL. It said to have installed correctly, but after the reboot, it is stuck continuously at the G1 screen. I tried to get to the bootloader or the recovery console, but it is not happening.
I have tried home+power, camera+power, back+power, but no matter what it just goes and sits in the G1 screen. I took a nandroid backup before installing the hardspl, but if the phone doesnt boot up at all, I dont know what to do.
Can someone please please help me out? Is there anything at all I can do? I will be lost if my phone is bricked. I have got it from US to India and I don't think I can get a replacement warranty here. ((((
Thanks in Advance.

Sorry but...I think it's bricked if it can't access recovery or bootloader

There's no fix out yet... take a look at this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533004

i think i got a solution cuz i dont think its brickedcuz this happened to me and i found that it my recovery.img got corrupt and all i did was redownloaded the recovery.img to my computer and extracted it to my sd card and sucssesfully booted into recovery mode try this maybe itll work if not your bricked

he already said he can't get to recovery

Doesn't the SPL or Recovery appear before the G1 screen? I'm pretty sure he's tried pulling the battery, holding down HOME (or CAMERA depending on which mode he wants to go into) then putting the battery back in... If not then he should give it a go...

No it does not.

Thanks guys for all your support... until something new comes up, I guess I am screwed. I dont think anyone else would have bricked their G1 in just 3 days.
I had rooted it and it was working fine until I let curiosity get the better of me and I decided to see what else I could flash on to the device. Sucks...

I brick mine the second day, so i guess i hold the record

Interesting. This did happen to me when I was messing with the JAChero Rom. During some of the steps it asked you to install the the latest SPL. It tells you in the steps that it will hang on the G1. You'll need an SD Card reader but put a stable rom on the SD Card, rename it update.zip and reflash. This did work for me. Hope the same out come for you!

[recovery/device/sd error?] Nexus One not flashing

Hey guys i don't know if anyone of you had the same issue but any info/help could be helpful.
I used to flash my N1 A LOT! but today i have this strange issue. I wiped and flashed rodriguezstyle again for a clean start, but i only got the colorful X with the unlocked symbol at the bottom and then just a black screen. i thought I've done something wrong and flashed again, but with the same results.
i changed my sd and downloaded again the rom but still no luck, did a nandroid restore and the phone was working properly. then i got a bit frustrated. downloaded 2-3 more roms but the result was the same.
i read somewhere that flashing with battery <50% may cause some errors so left the phone off to fully charge and tried again... no luck
then i remembered i upgraded the radio and i downgraded it to the old one, but still the same results and nandroid doesn't work... jeeeesh... back to the new radio and to my nandroid, but its no fun owning a smart-phone if you cannot flash it.
anyone with the same issue or any helpful tips/instructions?

Try this:
When the phone hangs at boot, reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik-cache and reboot from recovery. Does that work?
If not, you'll need to logcat the boot process and post the log somewhere for us to have a look at.
So, assuming adb is working on your computer, plug in via usb, use adb logcat > output.log and reboot the phone. Continue logging for about 60 seconds after the phone stops.
Post the log to www.pastebin.com and then link back here.

hmmmm ok i will post results in abt an hour. thanx!
hmmmm i think i sorted it out... reflashed recovery. propably i messed smthing in there! thanx for your effort!

Hello everyone!
Weird problem here, too.
I was backing up my SD card in view of a format/cleanup....and when I went to boot into recovery, my N1 was stuck on the black screen with the white letters at the bottom "Build : RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1"... The phone actually boots great, it is just not loading the recovery image. Is it possible that part of the flash got corrupted? If so, I'm pretty much done flashing my N1, right???
I'll post a log asap (if it could help any)...

Oh and btw i tried to re-flash Amon-RA's recovery twice already...Superboot said it was successful....but I doubt it...

Well try flashing stock rom! I flashed it through fastboot step by step and it worked. Also check if the rom you try to flash needs ext partition or if apps2sd is enabled

[Q] Help? I think i've bricked Nexus one

Hello,
I have a nexus one that isn't working anymore. I was trying to install the cyanogenmod, but I guess I didn't do it correctly.
I was following the clockworkmod way from this: h t t p ://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide
When flashing the rom something went wrong. After step 6 my phone didnt reboot, it just stayed off. Now it will only give me the nexus sign if i turn on the phone.
I can still acces the recovery menu when holding Power + volume down.
People told that I should go back to the stock rom.
Can anybody please help me?
*don't know if i've posted in the right category

When you get to recovery is it still clockwork or stock? If clockwork then try and flash cm6 again. If not you will have to download a stock rom push it to the sdcard as an update.zip and boot into the boot loader.

Since you can boot into recovery you have NOT bricked it for sure
As mentioned in the earlier post try to flash the CM ROM again

If you are unable to access the custom recovery (as in, the stock recovery is still in place), you can follow the manual instructions for installing ClockworkMod: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide#Manual_Method
You can then follow the procedure for flashing the appropriate radio image: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...ll_Update_Guide#ClockworkMod_Recovery_process
And you can even install the ROM without using Rom Manager using this process: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...Update_Guide#Second_Method_.28via_Recovery.29
All of this is, as I'm sure you've noticed, posted on the same page that you linked. Hopefully this information will help you, now that you have been assured that your phone is not bricked.

Thanks for quick replies. I've contacted a guy with a lot of knowledge about these kind of thinks and helped me fixing me phone. I dont know exactly what went down but I will give it a try.
My first mistake was thinking that I rooted my phone (using the one click method). Don't know if thats the right way to do it, but in the end it wasn't rooted and I tought it was.
The guy rooted my phone, did the AmonRa recovery install and installed the Ethernom Rom for me. Great to have my phone back to working and great Rom btw.

[Q] Please Help, Stuck at ClockworkRecovery screen

IGNORE, some how fixed it...noob
Hello, and sorry to annoy, no idea what im doing.
Tried to install CM7 but got like a loop of the CM7 skater, so I tried to restore a backup, however when i rebooted I got to the LG sign with the loading bar beneath, however this stalls and proceeds no further.
I have v3.0.2.8 ClockworkMod and can get there but no idea where to go next.
Trying to get stock rom back or CM7 working, either way, would just like a phone not a brick
Massive nood, any help would be awesome
cheers

you can always nvflash it back to stock. check the forums at XDA/modaco for more info.
edit: here's the link in case you can't find it

Sounds like you forgot to wipe :-\ Did you do a factory reset?

Can someone help me? I am so lost

I've been having trouble with my Vibrant and with T-Mobile in limbo I picked up a N1 off ebay to hold me over. This thing is driving me insane!
The phone came with CM7 installed on it, but the person that shipped it to me didn't erase any of there stuff so I figured I would flash a fresh image on the phone to take care of things. I've flashed my Vibrant a dozen or so times and never had an issue. Flashed the N1 and it comes up with an X made of 4 different colored lines and a little lock at the bottom. I know some roms take a while to load so I let it sit for an hour. Nothing.
Since I've been trying everything I can find out how to recover the phone including all of the guides on the wiki. I'm at my wits end at this point. I can't get into clockwork at all on the phone. It gets stuck in the bootloader and if I select recovery it just takes me back.
I've got droid explorer running, and the phone shows up, but it doesn't show anything on the phone, no folders or files and won't let me load anything on to it. (it says it is, but then stays blank) I have no clue what to do at this point short of taking a sledge hammer to it. (obviously I'm posting this as I consider that to be plan B)
I don't need anything special, I just want a working phone. Is that really so much to ask for?

If ur Phone is running( means u can boot) try flashing cwr from rom manager and flash the rom again or try to hard reset the phone and then see ?

Firstly, I would start of by being more specific about what you have tried.
If you really have tried "everything", then there's nothing anyone can do for you.
I suspect you haven't tried "everything"...?

I'm sure I haven't, just what I found in the wiki
I tried the PASSIMG.ZIP and it failed
I tried Amon_Ra's Recovery and the only way I can get it to do anything is to tell it to flash in droid explorer and it just reboots and gets stuck. Now nothing is showing up file wise in droid explorer and I can't transfer the image onto the root.
When I could get into clockwork I tried flashing different roms but it would just go to a screen with the clockwork logo and get stuck.

I can turn it on to the screen with the multicolored X or the bootloader, that's it. How do I do a hard reset?

in the bootloader I think (dont take my rookie rooting words too serious) theres a hard reset menu under recovery. it will take you to another x and press volume up and power for the menu to pop up.

try fastboot a recovery image (either Amon Ra or CWM) and see if you can get back to recovery after that.

Well I'm assuming you already have a custom recovery since it came with CM and you've, as you said, flashed it (what exactly do you mean by that by the way? flashed another rom?). So all I can recommend is that you wipe a few times and try flashing a few different roms and hopefully one will boot. Not the best advice in the world but its always worked for me before and my N1 and my DEXT before hand when I've messed them up!

You still did not say what you flashed to your phone.
Anyways follow the restore to stock guide.
I don't know what this Droid manager thing is but don't use it. Install the sdk.....
