I'm currently stuck at the g1/tmobile screen.
I was using the latest Cyanogen mod rom and tried to flash to [xROM Eclair/AOSP] [2.01], this lead to being at the boot screen for 20+ minutes.
I then booted into recovery and hit make nandroid back up by mistake, so I've no back up.
As I still had the cyanogen.zip on my SDCard I wiped and reflashed that, rebooted and I'm now still stuck on the boot screen.
So I can access the recovery fine by taking out the battery and rebooting.
Any ideas?
I think the problem may have started as I don't think I've got the danger SPL that the [xROM Eclair/AOSP] [2.01] rom requires, (But I thought I'd try it after some conflicting posts in its thread.)

Wipe everything, including your ext partition. But backup your apps first.
After that, flash the rom again and see if that works.

Will removing the SD work in the same way? I'm not sure how to wipe the ext 4 partition. (I'm not concerned about my apps and that).
Thanks for the help!
EDIT: Stated in the [xROM Eclair/AOSP] [2.01] thread that a wipe isn't needed before update, 'came from cyan 4.2.11.1 and don't have to wipe anything'

"update" means coming from the previous xrom. you must wipe coming from cyans rom.

Why would you have no backup after running nandroid? Nandroid does not overwrite your old backup when you create a new one. They are timestamped in /sdcard/nandroid/SERIALNUMBEROFDEVICE/timestamp
Running the nandroid script from the console in recovery mode lets you choose the backup you want to restore. Just some food for thought

Ahhh well that'd been great if I hadn't just wiped my SD card to reformat the ext partition! DAMN!
Is it possible to mount the CD card whilst in recovery mode? Then with a clean EXT2/SD card, a wipe and reflashing the rom should work surely?
ums_enable if you have a custom recovery - do it in the console
and next time post in the right section please
not the right post

try hooking it up to adb and get a logcat while its on the boot screen and see if it is doing something, might just need to wait it out. My G1 was recently on the G1 boot screen for over an hour while busybox was re-writing a filesystem.
Hi am a newbie here.i have read many guides here and form cyanogen and addictivetips on flashing custom recovery image on T-Mobile G1,DMD64,Donut..i have tried ROM Manager,Fastboot and ADB but still i get errors.what can i do ?
is your phone rooted? what errors?
Well first you need root. I was lazy and used this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598) app to get root. Then I followed the CyanogenMod wiki (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/) to get the Recovery, Radio, SPL, then ROM flashed and now I'm running CM 6.1.

I have no idea what happened, my Hero has been rooted for over a year now and never had any problems. I flashed a herodeck rom version 1.2 and after that I could not flash any more roms but could restore all my nandroids. So I used this, RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.27.651.5_R_signed_release.rar, to go back to stock and installed unrevoked, and all went well. I then flashed this TeamHeroC-2.3.5-01OCT-CM-V2.zip and finally it worked and was working great until last night my battery went dead and when I plugged it in to charge it powered up to the white HTC screen and has been stuck there since. I have tried to reflash , restore nandroids, and even hboot a HERCIMG and that is when I noticed S-ON. and since this has happened every file I try to flash comes up corrupt and the latest CM rom came up no signature, and I keep getting errors such as this. So right now all I can do is boot into recovery or Hboot. Please someone help me with this. I love this phone!

Check md5sums of the zips in your sd card to verify no corrupt files. Also make sure signature verification is not toggled in CWM.

Thanks for the advice, I will check the Md5sums but I am actually using darchstar's RA recovery at the moment. Also I have formatted my sd card a couple of times and ran disk check on it and also downloaded the roms and files several times.
Hi,
If u have the time, unroot the same way again and then reroot but this time use ROM manager(free version). Update to latest recovery and then
Start over.
It sucks but without the proper knowledge its difficult to fix some issues. So starting over is easiest.
Good luck

Can u flash anything else?
If so, u may just have a bad download or u have to do at least a factory reset b4 flashing anything.
Good luck
Unroot zip file is also EZ if u just want stock out of the box back on ur phone.

Again thanks for the advice but I can't even do that now as I am stuck on the HTC screen and all I can do besides look at a white HTC screen is boot recovery (darchstars RA recovery) and boot into bootloader. Everything I try to flash will not verify for some reason or another(corrupt or unsigned or something crazy like that) and the RUU will not connect to the phone because it is stuck at the white HTC screen. This one has really stumped me as I have brought this phone back from some bad predicaments, or at least I thought they were. I did get it to try and flash a hercimg of an extracted RUU that is on this forum but it ends up saying no image found and just goes back to the bootloader menu.

Try downloading a recovery from Dastin's thread. Rename it HERC.IMG and place in the root of the SD card. Bootloader and flash. Power down then hold home and power back up to see if recovery worked. See if you can get any recovery flashed at all and if you do you can fix anything then.

I finally got clockwork recovery 2.5.0.7 by using adb to push to sd card and then flashing from adb. Still can not do anything else, it is still acting the same.

You might want to try getting s-off via darch's method. Then flash the eng-spl. Then do a fastboot erase system -w. Then reflash your recovery to see if that helps. If you need any of the files mentioned just pm me and I'll send you a dropbox link. You should be able to get back up and running this way. Good luck.

Are you formatting boot, system, cache, and data before flashing any of these roms? I do it 3x for each partition to make sure everything is wiped clean.
I have always thought that unrevoked was a permanent s-off unlike darch's which is temporary. I have both. I have always felt that if i can get into recovery, I'm golden. Make sure everything is wiped (not just data and cache) before you flash a new Rom.

Yes, a couple of times, manually and with Light's format and Caulkin's format. and also I tried to fastboot hercimg.zip of the extracted RUU and all was going well and it actually finally asked if I wanted to apply the update like it is suppose to and it started loading and then when it finished it rebooted hboot and tried to install it again and also at this point I had s-on again. So I redone everything and am now back to s-off.

Are you still on a stock "sense" rom right now? What is your PRL, Radio, and PRI? Make sure everything is updated and you should be ready to go now. Since you are S-off now, I would place a HERCIMG.zip on your sd card of a recovery (I've been liking the 4.0.1.4 Orange Lantern that Dastin compiled (which is an unofficial CWM) just so that I have it at the ready in case anything goes south.
If your s-off again make a nand if you can. Also like dp asked what rom, radio, are you on???. Also imo you should flash Ra1.7 untill your back up and running for this process and just revert back when all this is done. Also you should do a fast boot erase system -w to clear everything out. Then backup your sd to your pc and format it as well. Once threw your pc and restore the defaults and then threw your recovery. Which is y I suggest Ra it makes it quick and easy. Ill check back here to see were your at threw out the day.

The last rom I was on was [ROM][03-OCT-2011][TeamHeroC-2.3.7 - 2.6.35 Kernel] but I am stuck at the white HTC screen right now has been all day. When you say RA 1.7 recovery are you talking about Darchstar's RA 1.7?
Still no luck everything I try to flash fails, I kept getting an error 5 in clockwork recovery when trying to flash CyanogenMod 7 for the HTC Hero (CDMA) :: V7.1.0 (9 Oct 2011).

Okay I switched recoveries to RA 1.7. I have tried several times to flash CyanogenMod 7 for the HTC Hero (CDMA) :: V7.1.0 and each time a different file comes up corrupt but I have been checking the md5's after it is on the sd card and they have been good. It is crazy, I can flash everything but Roms.
You should do a fastboot erase system -w.

I have ARHD 7 installed, everything worked fine until i tried to flash the Circlemod
Now the phone is stuck on the boot screen
I can get into bootloader and recovery but my problem is that I don't have a rom on my phone that I can flash
Have I stuffed up my phone?
Any help appreciated
Simply reboot in recovery and flash over the latest ROM from ARHD 7, don't wipe anything simply flash over. All your settings, apps and data will be preserved.
Should do the trick.

Hi, thanks for replying, but I'm not sure what you mean by flash over. I don't have a rom on my phone to flash and I also can't seem to get the mount to work on TWRP so I can't copy a rom to my phone in recovery.

I can assure you there is nothing wrong with the rom as I have personally used that rom as well as many others. Having said that, I will ask you to do all the necessary steps to install a rom.
1. flash stock via odin.
2. root your phone and flash cwm 5.
3. boot into recovery, do factory reset, cache wipe, dalvik wipe and format system in mounts and storage.
4. check the md5 sum of the rom for it's integrity and then copy it to sd.
5. flash the rom. reboot system.
first boot will take a bit of time. after setting everything reboot. your phone will boot just fine. have patience though. booting may take time. whatever happens, you should not be in bootloop now because rom is okay. good luck:good:
