US G1 on EU wont boot and wont recover

Hello everyone,
i really thank all the people who are investing lots of time on this site to help others. I have found myself many solutions to many issues in many of my phones.
now i have a new issue and I have not benn able to find a solution. maybe its hidden in the forums, if you know it, please send my a link.
issue:
got a g1 from the US, using it in EU.
if I turn it on, shows the G1 logo folowed by the recovery(android system recovery uitility)
It doesnt matter if I do something else, it allways comes the screen.
Tried several upgrades but it allways tells me:
Install form sdcard...
Finding...
Opening...
Verifying...
E:No signature (XXX files)
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted.
on top of the recovery there is a message:
E: can't open /cache/recovery/command --> to this i found several solutions, but all require a running g1... this is not the case.
Also the "back+power" wont load the defaults, it doesnt matter what i do.. wont do anything.
PS: SD is an 8Gb class 6 which was working on my old G1, fresh formated
any clues?
most appreciated!
Luis

I almost forgot to mention..
Power + Cam, fastloader wont work, wont load.. also found a solution having a working G1.. again.. this is not the case. I got the phone yesterday and should be working, it looks rather soft-bricked

A hint might be to post this in the Dream Q & A Section before you get battered for posting in the Dev section....

many thanks! Q&A should have been!
any ideas to solve my problem? thanks

E:No signature (XXX files)
E:Verification failed
is due to the ROM not being signed.
if you want to get into bootloader to flash nandroid backups
use
adb reboot bootloader

Hi B-man007,
thanks.. is there a way to use ADB if the phone has no OS? and if its not recognized by PC... ? found solutions about how to use it.. IF the phone is running. please let me know if i am missing something here. cheers!
any other solutions?

if the roms that i tried are not signed.. could you suggest me one which is?
tried from original ones to cooked.. same responce. i even tried 30 to 33.. to see waht happens, it started but showed me again an error message, it would make sense if the installed rom would have been 30. i was just trying around.
any links to a very old android which is signed? to keep on trying.. cheers!

Since you have a US G1, flash the RC29 DREAIMG.nbh to get to Android 1.0
ADB can be used in recovery since there is a kernel being used. You need to install the drivers for it to work

no cannt do.. driver for win7 x64 are not te be found and the update from RC29 not possible. i cannt access the booloader to install images ;(
tried several signed updates and roms, allways the same crap!
any other idea? thanks!

The adb drivers for vista x64 should work just fine. If you can't get into bootloader by holding Cam+Power
you will need adb to actually boot into the bootloader to flash the RC image

so.. many tests .. same situation
ADB works if the device is conected. it could be recognized if the bootload is on OR if android is running.
none of this works for me.
i cannt access anything but the android recovery, believe that the old user saved recovery on SDcard and send me the phone w/o it... E:/can't access recovery.. blah
i am getting really angry with the phone and the seller.. damm eVay

Nexus One - Black screen.

Hi,
---------------
First, Unlock the Bootloader, evertyhing is fine.
Second: Recovery mode didn’t start. There was just a black screen and nothing else happend.
Solution: My N1 has a LCD screen, so I had to flash “recovery-RA-nexus-v1.8.0.1-aw” to fix that. Which is now working fine.
i flashed update-cm-5.0.4.1-N1-signed.zip and its says Successfull after the installation.
I choosed the Google Add-on zip file gapps-passion-ERE36B-2-signed.zip. but when starting my phone, I see the nexus logo and the unlocked lock at the bottom and after that it goes black, only way I can get back to it, is by removing the battery, start in bootloader and do a recovey nandroid (so Im back at the beginning at guess, except for the unlock thing)
ive tried with gapps-hdpi-20101025-signed.zip” instead of “gapps-passion-ERE36B-2-signed.zip” because someone says he had the same issue but im still having it, black screen.
No i wiped all data, did a recovery and im back to normal (but still unlocked of course)
Can someone help me out to install GoogleApps and Cyanogen Mod correctly?
Thanks.

Ummm why are you using cm 5.0.4.1 .... there is a way newer version out ..

You could have gotten a bad download .. try this one and also make sure your radio is up to date ..
Visit the wiki and cyan forums and read up about how to install the radio properly if you are not up to date ..

When I tried to install the CM6.0.0 (lastest one) it gives me some ASSET error code 7 and the installation failed. That's why I was hooking one with the old one since it installed perfectly.
I did no install the radio thing.. that might be the problem?
If you have a step-by-step link where I can do all the procedure, that would be helpfull, because everything that I find on the internet, seems to be related to Android 2.1 (like installing SDK 2.1 etc... but I installed SDK 2.2 which I tink its a good thing)
Any link for the procedure up-to-date for N1 2.2 ?
im desperate now and I dont want to brick my phone

Here we go, lastest version of Cyanogen 6.0.0-N1
Assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader") == 0.33.2012
E:Error in /sdcard/update-cm-6.0.0-n1-signed.zip (Status 7)
installation aborted.
Why am I getting this error ONLY WITH version 6?

Nvm I got it working. Add the remove some line code.
Thanks anyway.

CM5 never had SLCD support.

I also tried the code "check in" with different providers but nothing has happened.

In the general section, there is a ruu of 2.3.4 european build. But that is a .exe, so imstill figuring out how to extract the rom.zip from it.

Read Nexus One Wiki, section "Unroot/restore", using PASSIMG method.

Updating ICS problem

While i was updating my phone using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1860782 these thread. the kdz updater says "model dll mag was not found". I thought that it was an error. But later i know that it was not an error. But while seeing the msg i was unplugged my phone. although it was updated to ICS 4 anyhow. But there are some problem. now when i connect my phone with pc to update fully(previous one i disconnect my phone seeing the above msg) , kdz updater says that phone was not found. although phone was connect perfectly. I was also failed to downgrade to 2.3 via flash tool.
Now give me that solution how can i solve these problem "phone was not found.
[ USb driver soft is installed.]
ICS version problemdue to not properly installed)
1) phone was not found msg
2)in about there is no baseband no. it says unknown.

- If you receiving a long call, when the call is end - the phone stuck at black screen and the only thing to do is unplug/replug the battery - Deep Sleep
- Sometimes the battery drain is unusually high. Though I think battery is better with ICS
- There are no APK installer, no Facebook, Twitter app
Still very good for a beta release

ics is very smooth, but I also get the error above.ICS does not include vibration when connecting a call and end call.when running several programs failed hotboot.

Mine works well since I installed it with SmartFlash Tool. Only problem is no Flash Player support and multitouch is very buggy. When I hold a single touch point it registers for only 2 seconds then it releases itself. To those who managed to install the firmware do you also encounter these problems?

Dont post questions in the Development Section.

Need help with stucked S7

Hi
I recently tried to root my phone from this guide: devs-lab.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s7-s7-edge
I followed the instructions and flashed this file from ODIN:
Samsung_G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR
The file transferred ok and when the phone started rebooting it just stopped with a fault message on the screen.
Now the phone is stucked and i can't get contact with Odin. Odin recognizes the phone on the port but i cant flash to the phone.
The only way i have a chance to install on the phone now is with SD-card, because i am able to get to the recovery mode.
But when i try to install new stockware i just get signature failed message.
Does anyone know how i can get out of this mess ? I know its possible to turn of the signature check, but i cant get any options like this in the menu ..... BTW the phone is a G930F
I would really appreciate all help !
Thanks
Tom

Hi,
I dont remember exactly the fault message because my phone has been sent to service. But i will get it back in a couple of days. Then i will tell you the entire message. But is was something about kernel fault....
The service center says i have to replace the main board on the phone which cost almost the same as a new phone....
But i'm sure the main board is not broken...

Blah that's never good. Though I don't always trust things HAVE to be replaced at the hardware level. But it is what it is. Hopefully when you get it back all will be working for you! Unless it was just a bad chip, failing at the same time you were trying to write the new files to memory?

Well....
Actually i'm hoping to fix the phone withouth replacing the main board since it is so expencive.
So i asked them to return it withouth replacing. Because as long as i can get the phone in recovery mode its not broken. I just need to get pass Samsungs signature verification somehow... Then i can install new firmware...
Still hoping to get help. I will post the error message as soon as i get the phone back,
Thanks so far

I think I did the same thing when I first got the Phoenix, and did not research and do not turn the OEM Unlock feature on. I messed up things and through a lot of reflashing and panic searching, got mine to come back.
I since have seen others post issues that sound horrible but have been recoverable. We'll help you try to figure it out once you get the phone back.

Hi, i finally got my phone back.
Been trying different things like installing new firmware by using the SD-card. And also by using ADB, since the phone allows me to install software through ADB.
But no matter what i do the phone tells that signature verification failed.
I think one fault i did when installing the twrp custom recovery from ODIN i forgot to press the key combo and it started up with the original bootloader. Then it got stuck with the error screen i told you about.
I have uploaded a picture of the error message below.
If anyone knows how to get by the signature verification test then maby i could be able to install new firmware....
Thanks again, i will be grateful for any tips that could help me !
Best Regards
Tom

Good NEWS !!!!!
I managed to get the phone working again...
What i did was:
Holding the volume down, home and power button at the same time. When the phone went black i plugged in the USB cabel from the computer.
The error message came up 2 - 3 times but i kept holding the buttons.
Eventually it went into download mode and i used ODIN to flash the firmware...
I hope this could solve the problem also for others facing similar issues.
Thanks to BWolf56 who posted in a forum here. His tips fom 2011 .... helped me.

Great to hear... Good luck from here on out!
This is a good sign not to listen to tech support. They don't know, or mess with this stuff, as much as us!
Happy flashing and hope no more scares from here on out...
