Hey, I recently bricked my TMo G1. Flashed Danger SPL, it rebooted and sits on the splash screen now. Is this a hard brick or a soft brick that can be fixed?
No I don't think it's bricked. It's happened to me a few times. Just boot into recovery (HOME + POWER when turning phone on). Then see if you can flash it with what you had before.

It doesn't let me boot into recovery.
Try
1) home + power
2) back + power
3) cam + power
If all these options will give you only the G1 screen, most likely you bricked your phone.
Flashing DangerSPL without having the correct radio installed? Why? There are much more secure methods, i.e. CustomMTD (see my signature).

Is there any known way to unbrick it besides JTAG? Like a mainboard replacement?
I did the same- had to replace the mainboard - ONLY solution. Sorry man

Hi all,
what can i do?
You sure that what you're trying to perform is a hard reset, not a mere soft-reset?
If yes, this is really weird. Try flashing your ROM again.

If you are trying to perform a hard reset and it doesn't work and phone won't reboot, then only other option you have left is to put phone in bootloader and flash stock/cooked rom.
Does phone reboot ok? Are you actually performing a hard reset i.e. turn phone off. Hold down vol up & vol down and then phone on while still holding down vol buttons. You will then be presented with a white screen with text asking you to press vol up once again to restore factory settings.

Have you tried a Hard reset?

If it doesn't help try to flash a cooked or stock rom but I recommend you to first try the hard reset.

Bootloader is the tri-coloured screen you are getting
If you can get phone in bootloader then you can still flash new rom.
First of all try a hard reset by doing the following:
1. Turn phone off
2. Hold down vol up & vol down
3. Continue to do No.2 and turn phone on
4. You will then be presented with a white screen with text asking you to press vol up once again to restore factory settings.
Once complete if phone still doesn't reboot you will need to flash new rom by doing the following:
1. Turn phone off
2. Hold vol down button only
3. Continue to do No.2 and turn phone on
4. You will be presented with bootloader screen (tri-colour screen)
5. Connect phone to pc and bottom of screen text should change from 'serial' to 'USB'. If this doesn't read cRaCKwHoRe's guide (see link below) as you may need to update pc drivers.
6. Now flash original stock rom from which you have downloaded from wiki. You can find stock roms here. To flash rom you will need to run ruu file from pc (this is rom you have downloaded)
Make sure you only flash original stock rom which was already on your phone. If you want to flash other roms you will need to follow cRaCKwHoRe's guide
I'd recommend reading the wiki so you understand more about the process and you phone
Good luck and keep us informed
I install N1 with Cyanogen 6. Work fine.
After that 1 days my phone can't start and it only have orange->blue led appear. No matter how i try it can't boot
Anyone know how to fix it ?

Can you still boot into fastboot ? (remove battery if needed to power off, put it back , hold back button and press power )
no i cant. i cannot boot into any menus.
you cant boot into fastboot or into recovery?
sorry man..... brick. at least as far as i could think.
the wiki says theres a way to fix it, does anyone know who wrote it? maybe i could contact them?
Seriously? So you can't access adb/fastboot shells from your computer?
Fastboot is not a menu you access, You need to have the android-sdk setup on your computer, and need to reboot your phone into fastboot:
Take out the battery.
Put battery back in.
Hold the Back Button
Press power button and continue to hold back button.
Device should boot into bootloader, and if you have the right spl fastboot will be enabled.. (i believe thats correct)
Also, did you flash the wrong radio and then continue to flash spl?
If so, your device is bricked. But if you only flashed the radio and it's compatible with your spl you should be ok.
dude, send me your phone, im a professional repair man , i'll even fix it for free XD
The fix way of doing it you may find hard lol but it's called JTAG ^^ read on cyanogenmod wiki
where would i have to send it out too? and some type of insurance would be nice but id possibly be willing to send it out

I only flashed the radio, and then the CM6 Rom
The radio i flashed was the g1-radio-2_22_23_02 but i flashed it on EBI1 not EBI0
i tried to boot with every key combination i can think of such as camera + power Volume + power Back + Power
EVERYTHING
but it always hangs at the rogers screen

Why are you holding down all those keys ._.
hold camera while booting and give us a definitive answer on whether or not it loads a screen.
It does not work.
it stays at the rogers screen
whatsup guys, so i am rooting my g1, (got a new one from insurance so i can resell it)
i updated radio, to the one that ends with .22
and flashed spl, it told me to reboot, so i rebooted, it looked normal but it was at the g1 splash screen for ever, so i took out the battery, now i can't get into recovery with home+power or by holding camer+power.
when i do try it just sends me to the g1 splash screen....
does this mean it's bricked? what should i do?
Assuming you have non-stock recovery:
First of all, pull out battery. Wait 5 Sec. Put it back in.
Press and hold Home button. Press Power. Keep holding home button. You should be able to boot into recovery.
For SPL, Do the same, and hold camera before powering.
Flashing radio&spl via recovery is risky..
no luck, when i try to do that it just hangs at the g1 splash screen for ever...

Welcome to your new paperweight. Only options are jtag or swap out the board.
Next time could you put questions in the Q&A section please? Thanks.
Hey guys,
I am able to get into recovery (anon RA) but the camera down button + power is not working for going into fastboot screen so I can find out which Radio and SPL is on there.
When I wipe and try to install a ROM it gets stuck on the T-mobile G1 screen. Is the phone bricked? Any way to fix it?
Thanks.
