I wanted to root it.
Followed the steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558301. Got SPL 1.33.2005. Everything fine so far.
Then followed the steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4280573#post4280573 all the way to step 11. Everything fine.
I wanted to put on the latest Cyanogen mod and I know that I need to flash HTC image first and then immediately Cyanogen ROM. So I wanted to put in Cyanogen's recovery image http://www.cyanogenmod.com/downloads/recovery-image to be able to apply any zip from sdcard.
I did the
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img
and after that I wasn't able to boot to recovery image. I was stuck on Rogers boot screen.
So I re-did steps in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4280573#post4280573 all the way to step 11.
Now I'm stuck on Rogers boot screen. I waited an hour, so it's not impatience.
Cannot boot normally.
Cannot boot to recovery.
Cannot boot to fastboot either.
Am I bricked?
Any way I can get out of this?
Please help.
Thank you!
If you can't get to bootloader, or recovery.....you're bricked.
I guess there is no way to unbrick it?
Just out of curiosity. Which one of my steps I outlined above did it?
I have succesfully rooted G1 before, but to be honest I don't quite know what each step is doing.
Thanks.
Based on the information you provided, I'm not exactly sure. I'm not too familiar with the Roger's process.
Thanks anyway.
hi im not sure with rodgers ,but did you have trouble with the recovery image you said
I did the
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img did it not flash right ? it sound like some were after step 11 were it did it plus there was a note on the post you followed about newer phones said this would work on older phones? but if you cant get into recovery ,etc then it bricked .also when you root a phone next time i would put a rom on it thats a basic one then once it running and working then i would go to a rom like Cyanogen mod .might go to his site and ask him to if you have twitter ask him on there .if you have just bought it not long ago then call your service provider and play dum say it just stop working they should replace it or call htc they prob will to .good luck
lucky 69,
the fastboot flash recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img finished fine. Only after that I could no longer get to recovery mode.
I'll try to play dumm, the only problem is that I bought the phone off craigslist, so I don't have a receipt

ya it wont matter just call htc prob they will ask for your seril number and they can tell you if it is still under warranty you will have better luck with them than your provider . good luck you shouldnt need a recpt.
/just as a last resort, take out your battery, hold the camera button, and put it back in to see if it will boot into the spl. if it doesnt start right away, try holding power right after doing it again
hey guys, i tryed the one clik meth od here:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how...-in-one-click/
after everything, when i get to step 12 and reboot my phone (holding home and power) my phone just freezes with the rogers logo up (i need to remove battery to get back).
What can I try next to root my phone? should i first restore my back up image that i made with the program before I do anything else?
I need some help as i really need to root this phone for 2 reasons
1)apps on sd
2)Rogers locked out the touchscreen keyboard
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563679
Follow this, if you want CM keep going all the way through, if you want someone else's ROM then flash that instead of CM's.
hey, ok so my latest update is that i got myself to SPL 1.33.2005
i was able to boot into everything that was needed (power + camera) (power + home)
I am now at this step:

Hold your horses! That isn't the link I gave you to follow... You are in dangerous territory right now... what all have you done, exactly? Flashing that SPL can and will brick your phone if not done right.
I was using the link you gave me, close to the top it says to follow the linked guide for rogers phones as they are done differently(my phone is rogers)
that link leads you to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558301
once done that it says to go to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4848777&postcount=506 (never mind i should not use this as his spl is different as well, not the spl gotten from the previous link)
OR
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654
this first one is a relply of the second link (supposedly easyer)
LAST EDIT:
So, should i continue following
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654
Ok, carry on! As long as your reasd twice and do once you should be ok. And don't worry about the 'on' vs 'off', the big concern is what board do you have, and you have the 32b PVT, which is the one you need. I believe that 'on' 'off' is in regards to carrier lock.
like i edited, the first link guy does not have the SPL that I now have, i will be following the final link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654
When it says:
"once you are at SPL 1.33.2005 (AND ONLY THEN)
download this (it is hyperlinked)
(md5: 4a58a5702fdf899547011888d9cc066f .. sha1: 99e38e4f8798e952e67421a42e7b053ea70957b7)
extract both images wherever you'd like."
does it mean extract whereever on the sd?
I would assume extract and place on the root of the SD card based off the fact you will be doing all this from fastboot, aka the phone itself.
alright so i did that stuff, now when i boot the phone hangs at the rogers logo, what should i try.
did make a nandorid back up in the recovery menu a little while ago, how an i use it to go back? or is there another option to do something?
I can still boot into the recovery menu and camera+ power menu
Can you get into recovery? First boots take a long time as well, how long has it been hung up? But it sounds like you don't have a ROM on the device currently.
I can get into recovery, It was hung for like 4-5 minutes before i reset it. I dont think i did the fastboot stuf right, I pressed send inorder to fastboot, it said fastboot and i started typing the stuff on the link (you cannot see anything i was just typing) i then rebooted to recovery and Alt+s applyed the update (cynogen).
it is hung at the rogers screen. Can you try and translate the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654
a bit better and i can try the fast boot part again?
In the guide it says press back arrow to get inot fast boot but on my screen there is only one option for fastboot and it is the send button.
I tryed to use the update.zip file again but this time it said that it could not mount and that the directory does not exist.
It sounds like you did do the fastboot right, actually, since if you didn't it would boot up fully...
I would try this, dl this rom and put it on the root of your sd card, then boot into recovery mode and select "flash any .zip update" or whatever the exact wording is, then select the file named "dwang-v1.15" and follow the onscreen prompts. It is also probably a good idea to get your phone on a charger sometime soon, wouldn't be surprised if the battery is getting close to dead since when in fast boot and recovery and during boot up itself battery drain is pretty quick.
I truly think you did the fastboot stuff right, since when done you should have the SPL and radio, recovery, but no ROM and need to boot into recovery and flash the new ROM.
Forgot to give the link to the ROM, it is dwang's, my personal favorite and a good starting point to work from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567023
the option is apply update.zip so i should probably change the file name to that. Ill give it a go.
its still hanging on the rogers icon, weird. Perhaps i should use the nandoid backup? if you agree that that is the best option how would i do that?
another note, when i tryed to flash the rom you gave me it did not let me, game a an error about mounting and cannot find a file, I then put the recovery images back onto the sd card and the operation worked this time, it was unpackin na extracting and everything. Now it is still hung.
I would probably just nandroid at this point, yes
can ou guide me on how to do that?
Hmmmmmmm, do this for me as well, boot into boot loader (camera+power) and tell me what it says on the screen.

Okay, so I know what everyone says, "make sure you know what you're doing before you update to Danger SPL." So I read and re-read all the forums and guides about various problems and how to avoid them and how to flash the radio and SPL, THEN after I was comfortable I decided to go for it.
So here is my issue:
I used the two sd card method. After wiping, I flashed the radio to 2.22.19.26I, then rebooted. I wiped again and flashed the SPL to 1.33.2005, took out the SD card and put the other one in. I rebooted from console (using command "reboot recovery"), wiped again, and flashed CM 4.2.10.1 and rebooted. After this final reboot it sticks at the G1 screen and doesn't do anything beyond here. I also tried reflashing everything and formatting the new SD card, then loaded the CM version with RA's USB-MS mode and flashed it. Same effect, stuck on G1 screen.
I still have access to the recovery image as well as fastboot and the screen with the androids on the scateboards (bootloader? I'm niot sure). WIth those things in mind, I don't think I have bricked anything, but of course that doesn't help the fact that I can't use the phone. Any help here would be AWESOME.

Just checking cause you didn't mention this step but before flashing Cyanogen 4.2.10.1 did you flash the HTC ADP image??
Have you tried flashing any other ROM's??
Since you still have recovery && bootloader you're not in a terrible position, you're not bricked, just gotta find out where you're going wrong

Snab a copy of cyanogen's rom (update.zip) and recovery image (on the forums)
Boot the phone into fastboot (power off, hold camera button and power on)
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
this should insure that you have a proper recovery image.
boot into recovery mode now (you can press the menu button to power off the device from the SPL menu, then hold the HOME button and power on the device)
Code:
adb devices
you may need to do this a couple times until it shows up, once adb reports your device is available
Code:
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push update.zip /sdcard
then press ALT+S (or select the option from the menu using your wheel)
let the rom flash.
when it's complete, reboot your device (HOME+BACK) or just use the menu again.
it should now boot.. if it takes a bit longer than usual, check if the device is active using:
Code:
adb devices
if your device is listed, see if it's actually doing something using
Code:
adb logcat
if you see a bunch of "E/" followed by text, your phone is erroring out and you may have to report back here for further assistance, if you see a bunch of "apks" and "jars" flying by, your phone is booting it's just checking signatures most likely.

ADP image? I did the steps exactly as I described them. Should I have flashed HTCs ADP image? I guess so, if thats what I did to get CM in the first place. Is that the image that puts all the Google Apps on the phone? Also, if I'm getting CM v4.2.10.1 from the website, and I'm coming from a new radio and SPL, should I have to treat it as though I'm not updating and am coming from a freshly rooted phone?
and @haykuro, I'll try that as soon as I get the time.
Before you flash Cyanogen for the first time you need to flash HTC's ADP image
Check out the Cyanogen's Wiki for a full guide on installing his rom
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
Since you've already gotten as far as getting a custom recovery skip down to the section called "File Download" and continue on, that should get you on the right track
Yes that is the image that get's you all the Google Apps
Yes after installing the 1.33.2005 SPL you have to reinstall a fresh ROM

Worked like a charm! Kinda makes me feel like an idiot though for not thinking about needing to treat it like a fresh install instead of an update, but I'm glad it worked!
Also, thanks for how quick you helped me out! I was only without my G1 for maybe 5 hours!

First of all, to install CM6, you must have the dangerspl (according to Cyangoen).
So we need to know which spl that you are using.
Hold camera button and boot up your device.
Tell us what you see on the screen.
You MUST have 1.33.2005 spl and 2.22.23.02 radio.
If you do NOT have the 1.33.2005 spl then you MUST make sure that you have the 2.22.23.02 radio FIRST!!! We cannot skip this step!!! You MUST make sure that you have the 2.22.23.02 radio! Then after you verified that you have that then make sure that you have 1.33.2005. I am stressing this because if you have a different radio it MAY (very likely) brick your phone!
If you have all of that then you should be able to just wipe everything and flash the rom from recovery. An alternative is to wipe, flash to a different rom (non froyo... say... Donut) until you can figure out the recovery issue.
I recommend the clockwork recovery or amon_ra recovery.
We already tried doin' all this, it wouldn't "flash" the new recovery.

You should consider upgrading your radio. You'll notice improved battery life.
Also, can you flash ANY rom? Any at all?
If so then just flash_image recovery recovery.img from terminal or adb shell.
Nope, No ROMS what-so-ever...
I'm not worried about battery life, My phone won't boot up, I can't use it, let's fix this thing!
Can't flash, won't boot up, I kinda NEED my phone, I'm a almost 16 year old, I'm surprised I'm still Alive!

Just flash the original RC29 image file using fastboot mode and reroot and redo everything from there., guaranteed to work.

Well my knowledge with the G1 is a bit rusty I'll admit however as long as he has at least the .26I radio then he can flash any spl. It's anything older than the 26I that leads to bricks.
I can't just flash a new Recovery, it WILL NOT work for some unknown reason...
Your radio is fine (least while fighting other issues there is another version that may help/hurt reception) and you have danger spl installed.. so for the most part you are all set.
What happens when you try 'fastboot flash recovery '?
Can you boot the recovery with 'fastboot boot '
If it failed what happened.
Remember is the location of the recovery.img you want to flash/boot on your computer not the phone.
Yes, I can FastBoot USB, & everything else, just when I hit power the phone doesn't boot, But, it does turn on, So, I believe we can fix this...
I deleted the recovery.img file, by accident off my SD card, But, this phone had this problem long before I did that, so, that obviously isn't the problem..,
I can't wait if I EVER get this thing on, as I hear a new radio helps Battery Life, I was runnin' ALL stock equiment 2 weeks ago...Phone's been off almost that Long, I want a workin' phone, I'm goin' through Android withdrawls...(They are VERY bad...)

Hey folks, if any of you know me or have seen my posts, you know I only ASK questions when I'm in dire need. I've searched, and searched and haven't found the answers. So here are my questions:
I tried rooting my Sprint Hero (running 1.5) via Fresh Kitchen. I followed the steps, my phone rebooted. I had to take the battery out to get it to completely reload. However when I reloaded everything was exactly the same. I come from WinMo so I'm used to turning the phone back on and everything being a "Fresh" start. So I'm not sure if my phone was successfully rooted or not, and for some reason I can't find any info that gives a way to figure out if it has. So, how can I tell?
Also, if my phone has not been successfully rooted - I've recently switched to Ubuntu (yey) - and have been trying to follow these instructions to successfully root the phone ... with no success.
Any help is appreciated
One quick way I can think of is to try removing a system app that you don't want, maybe like Sprint Nascar or Amazon MP3. See this post here for how to do that. If you can remove a system app via adb, then you're rooted.
You could also just try rebooting into recovery. This will also show you if you have properly flashed a recovery image. Turn the phone off. Hold Home and then press Power. After a few seconds you should see the recovery console menu pop up instead of the regular HTC boot process. You can still reboot normally from here. Recovery is how you could wipe data and flash custom ROMs.
ok I just tried this (I did volume down, and held power), and this is what I see...

with 3 little android guys on skateboards
I pressed home, and got the HTC logo ... and the logo stayed on my screen until I took the battery out lol.
Looks like you don't have recovery then. Try rooting using THIS method....takes more steps, but its pretty much guaranteed to work unless you skip something or make a typo. And included in these steps are flashing a recovery image to your phone, then making a nandroid backup of your current setup.

I'm not sure how to make this work on a linux OS, but I'll give it the good ol college try ... thanks!
Can a MOD lock/delete this thread I got it to work! Thank you Chromium leaf for all your help. I figured out that I was doing it correctly in linux. I have 1.5.2 NOT 1.6.2 which every set of instructions I found told me to type (slow moment).
I'm finally Rooted!!!! WHERE THOSE ROMS AT!
