STUCK!

Okay i am fully aware of how a forum works and how much i am going to get flamed for this. I really need to go to bed and it would be nice to not have to go find a new phone tomorrow.
I installed JFv1.41 perfectly fine, had the root running etc.
I went to install a Theme, i ran the update.zip...now my phone just gets stuck on the TMOBILE G1 screen...not the flashing droid.
I can boot into Home+Power and into Camera+Power
i have HARD SPL on my root, but it is named update_OG is there anyway i can execute that to fix my problem?
Thanks

d
please can anyone help. Do i need to get a SD card reader and put a recover.img on it...i deleted it on accident because i am anuberchaun.

was the theme made for JF 1.41?
If not, that's why you are hanging on the screen.
What recovery do you have? Can you enable UMS from your recovery? If so, you can just copy a new rom and flash it.
If not, you need a memory card reader and put a new rom on it, then flash.
You are going to need to wipe obviously. I hope that goes without saying.
You should also condsider updating to a newer rom. You are still on RC33 with that I believe. Find a donut rom, like Dwang's. I would recommend you get the new Cyanogen, but that involves flashing more than one thing at a time, and I don't know if you will be able to do that without messing it up... No offense.

Okay so in my HARD SPL on boot, it says no IMAGE file. I have manually uploaded a image file to my SD's root folder. Why wont it see it?

Okay, im in deep. Last resort. Trying to reflash to rc29...only problem is it says not signature on 3 files. I definitely lost root. I using the stock rc29 though why wont it work? Maybe i have the wrong rc29 can anyone help?

Why would you flash a rom in fastboot? You were supposed to do it in your recovery. That's where you went wrong. You say you have rc29 now? Just reroot the phone then.

i cannot re root the phone because it will not get past the flash screen.
i didn't re-flash from fastboot, i did it in recovery. Ive tried re flashing a few times now. I am running jf v1.4 i can not go to any original rom, i also cannot find a DL for a OEM rom. I am trying to reflash to rc29 using the link found in at (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480) the DREAMIMG.nbh file. I was assuming that was a stock ROM, but when i try to reflash to that it says 3 files (no signature)....i was under the impression stock ROM's did not require ROOT access to flash.
i have also tried rc27

FIXED
everything i needed was right here.

Gmail App gone

Ok i figure ill throw this out there maybe some has a fix..
I was on 4.2.8 and everything was 200% when 4.2.8.1 was released i used CM Updater(latest) to update and i come to find that the gmail icon was gone fully gone wiped out.. i flip up the tray and it was gone from there too...so i did a wipe the flash 1.6adp then flashed cyanmod 4.2.8.1 and same issue the gmail icon was gone..
so i did a full wipe of everything from a-z(sarcasm) but did wipe every thing that could be wipe then re flash 1.6 then cyanmod over agian still the same issue.. so i unrooted and gmail app was back so then i rooted and update using recovery 1.4 cyan and gmail was there but i get acor forclose and blah blah...
so i wiped and did it again and still same issue so i used amon ra 1.5.2 recovery image wiped a-z again then flash 1.6 and cyan 4.2.8.1 and gmail was gone once again so i left it as is
and did partations sd
from there acore for close stop and was able to use market agian
then i downloaded astro manager and went thru the 1.6adp ota and i found gmail and installed! success it worked(odd) i install gmail app from astro file manager today
backdraw of this is thatgs this is install on my sd with partation so when i go to applications i have the option to uninstall gmail(shouldnt be a option)
so my question is.. anyone have a good idea whats happening or a fix to reflash with gmail there with out installing it to sd card..
or a way to push the gmail app to the phone from the sdcard..?
i kno that was long to read.. but just wanted to get all the steps i did so question or response will come say wipe and reflash when that proccess was done about 12 times(started at 8am and didnt finish{gave up} around 10)

Found out it is my sd card its partation.. and each time i update it misses up the update.. i used a clean new sdcard (1g) and wiped 2x and then flash the 1.6adp then the new cMod and i got my gmail icon back(original) so this can be closed now.. thanks

Not completly bricked

Hi guys im wondering if any of you can help me out here.
I have been on cyanogen (latest) for a while but decided to have a go at puting the ''donut'' rom in the android development bit of this forum (eu version as im in uk) on my phone this evening.
I flashed the base version fine and it started up great. Then I flashed the extention (add on) part and it started up but after the ''android'' screen it just went black and nothing happend. So i did a hard reset and tried again, same problem occured.
I then tried to put the latest cyanogen rom back on my phone, put to root, started it up then BAM stuck on g1 screen. Didnt get passed it. So put other roms later cyan roms on and still same problem occurs.
I then freeked out and tried to go back to RC29, so i deleted everything of my sdcard and put the dreming file on, pressed power and camera button and then BAM it comes up with some sort of cyanogen screen and not the rainbow screen. So havent got a clue how to install the dreming file. So gave up there
So this is where im at. Nothing on my sd card. Still got cyan on my phone but cant get it started up, no matter what rom I try it keeps getting stuck on g1 screen.
I know this is completly retarded but I really need help to get this sorted.
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT
Thanks

Have you been wipping?

Wiped before flashing donut rom...And when trying to put cyanogen rom back on...

If you can boot into recovery or into fastboot then you should be fine.
Wipe, if you use appps2sd the wipe your ext partition as well.
Flash base defanged rom from Cyan's site and flash Cyan's latest (Check md5 sums of both to make sure that your downloads are not corrupted. Fix permissions and you should be ok. If you still can't boot up (and it will take a while to boot up after a wipe) then you can go back to RC29. Just make sure that your nbh file is named exactly Dreaimg.nbh and your card is formated to FAT32, otherwise fastboot will not find it.
Good luck.

Wow lots of help there thanks.
Firstly tho I cant find this ''base defanged rom'' from cyans website? Can you give me a pointer as to where it is? Is that its name on the website or is that it in short?

Forget that I found ''DRC83_base_defanged.zip''. Downloading it now.

First time, Still trying to figure it all out.

So this is my first time at this, and could use a little guidance. I really dont want to Brick my phone. I don't have the money right now to get a new one. lol
Well I have done some research, but there is so much information out there that it is hard to figure it all out. I own an HTC Hero CDMA through Alltel, and I plan on installing CyanogenMod 7.2.
Right now I am looking at rooting with Z4Root, then using Rom Manager to install CM 7.2
I cant find a link to the Google apps I need, so if anyone has a link on hand that would be awesome.
Does anyone have some suggestions before I start?

gapps are usually posted in the op with the rom.

Here is the link to Google Apps.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps
Notice there is only one Google Apps file for all devices running CM7 so you don't have to worry about downloading the wrong one
Your plan sounds fine. Personally I would rather use this as a chance to get more acquainted with ClockworkMod recovery than Rom Manager, as it is usually the tool that will save you if your phone goes wonky (you can use recovery to save you from any messed up ROM, but you can only use ROM Manager when your ROM is working in the first place). This is what I would do.
1) Z4 Root.
2) Install ROM Manager
3) Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
4) Download CM 7.0.2, place anywhere on SD card
5) Turn off phone, then hold Home + power to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery
OR in Rom Manager, click on Reboot to recovery
7) In ClockworkMod Recovery, go to Backups and restore > create nandroid backup
8) wipe factory settings from the main menu
9) Install zip from sdcard > flash CM 7.0.2 + Google apps
10) reboot
Done!
By the way, there are only two ways to brick the phone, AFAIK: flashing a wrong radio/bad radio flash or bad flash of an SPL. Installing a ROM (at least on the Hero) does neither of these, so you don't have to worry.

Thx for the guide, but I am having a problem when trying to Z4Root, it just stops at the ...Rebooting screen and never rebots. Also when I try to go into recover it comes up witha phone and a ! with a red triangle around it. Any advice?

I was stuck with Z4Root at the ...rebooting screen also. I just pressed Home or back to get out of it. Then I looked in my app drawer and saw Superuser was there. After that, I went to the Market and downloaded ROM Manager and flashed ClockworkMod recovery.

Z4 root hung up for me too. I ended up having to do it twice before it took. Imediately after you have superuser in your app drawer install Rom Manager....
That's where you get your custom recovery. If you don't have Rom Manager yet, you won't have custom recovery. Also, as tedius as some of these forums are, they are the best way to learn. Since rooting my hero, I have also rooted two Nook Colors and an LG Optimus, and become pretty familiar with using ADB......waiting to get my paws on my wife's Evo now.
****EDIT**** FYI Z4 Root took almost 15 minutes to run its course on my phone....Make sure you have a good battery.

[Q] Installing a Peter Alfonso ROM?

Ok so i have a stock rooted droid 1 on frg83g 2.2.2. I used soup or root to root my phone and I want to flash Peter Alfonso's 2.3.5 or possible 2.3.4 since 2.3.5 is a beta. The problem is that when I go into recovery mode and try to flash the rom it installs then reboots and continues to loop in reboot. so i get the motorola symbol then i get the droid and then the red eye and then it loops back to the droid and gives me the red eye again.
So my question to all of you is what am i doing wrong? I made a titanium backup of my apps. Downloaded the file given by peter alfonso's site. dropped it onto the root folder of my droid. from there i went into rom manager which has clockwork mod recovery on 2.5.01. so i go into recovery and then make a nandroid backup. after that i found the file after going into install .zip from sd card. then the phone goes into the rebooting like i mentioned before.
Do i need to rename the file or clear any of the caches? HELP IS SO MUCH NEEDED!

Did you wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache before flashing?

yeah i did the first time when trying to flash 2.3.5. should i try again with 2.3.5? also note that i did not change the file name to update.zip

Any luck getting the rom working yet?
Sent from xda app on vibrant running Project V 6-11-11 with BALI 1.8.7 kernel

Yeah I finally got it to flash. I had to wipe phone and reset it. Only problem I am having is the LED light which does not come up when i have a new text message. I am using go sms. I'm also having the problem of my battery running down so quickly. IDK what to do about that?
Any idead to fix these problems?
