Help My G1 Has Gone Crazy

I have a rooted G1 I was using Enomther's HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 ROM And Cyanogen's 1.4 recovery image....when all of a sudden while i was trying to text on the slide out keyboard only the letter E,F, and D would work so i tried rebooting my phone...it stayed stuck at the G1 screen and kept rebooting itself I took out the battery and tried to boot in recovery and did when I tried wiping the phone it would not let me press the home key to confirm the wipe...so i just rebooted from the recovery screen the phone turned on but it did not load any of my widgets and said safe mood at the bottom left hand corner and only the power button worked on the phone.....so i put the DREAIMG.nbg file on my sd card And Booted W/ Camera +power and it got to the screen but when prompted to press the power button to perform the reboot it would not do anything so I took out the battery again and now everytime i try turning on the phone even in recovery it just keeps rebooting at the G1 screen then after like 10 minutes it turns off.....Anybody Think The Can Help?

which spl are you using? You could use fastboot to flash a nandroid backup from before you're issues started.

Not Sure Never Flashed Any ROMS That Require The New SPL Did Not Want To Brick My Phone...SO I Am Still Using The Hard SPL I Flashed When I Rooted My Phone

If you're using the HardSPL you should be able to use fastboot, you'll also have to have fastboot setup on your computer, you can check out this thread for some good info on that

also you'll have to have a nandroid backup from before you're issues started, I can provide you with a link if you need some good back up files

My Phone Won't Load Into Fastboot It Does The Same Thing Just Stays At The G1 Screen And Then Turns Off

your first post said that you were able to boot you're phone using camera+power ?????

Yea I Was Able Too Once Just Like The Recovery But Now It Doesn't Load Anything It Just Keeps Rebooting After The G1 Screen

do you have adb installed?

Sounds like a hardware problem, maybe some buttons are stuck.

Can't get 8 interrupted boots to work

Hi,
My unit is rooted with 1.1 and I am trying to get my unit back to stock so I can install 1.2 and manual root it.
I have been trying to get the unit to load the stock ROM for hours and I cannot get this to work. Here is what I am doing.
1) Press power button for a second or 2.
2) When "future of reading" appears hold down power button until screen goes dark again.
3) Repeat
I have repeated way past 8 and it never starts the screen that loads the stock ROM.
Any ideas?

CWM Install.
Do you have Clock Work Mod Recovery installed? Well, if you don't install it, there are many guides on xda.
Here:

Download either 1.0 or 1.0.1 and flash it using ClockworkMod.

That is a great idea!

I did this when 1.2 came out and here is what you have to do.
-Turn On Nook
-Wait till the Screen goes black after the "touch reading" or whatever
-As soon as the Big N appears hold Power
Repeat 8 times to reflash Stock then Turn Nook off and hold N+Power for 6 seconds. Follow onscreen prompts and you're data and emmc will be wiped. You MUST do this or you'll have a real buggy Nook.

[Q] Rooted Nook Color Locked Up

I accidentally turned off my rooted Nook Color yesterday rather than putting it on Airplane mode and when I tried to bring it back last night, it would not boot up. It goes directly to the screen that says "Touch the Future of Reading" and won't go beyond that. I have tried holding the power button and N button down for 30 seconds and it has not worked. I let the battery die and tried rebooting it again from there... and no go...
Any ideas??
Thanks!

You should try this...
ie. make a bootable sd card and reflash stock rom (or whatever you're running) off of it

Curious CWM problem

Right so the problem is thus, I am running MIUI 1.9.23 and used rom manager to install CWM. I was then able to boot to CWM from rom manager but if I turn my phone off and try and boot by holding vol down and power the phone will show the S/W updating standard LG recovery.
Now this wouldn't be a problem but I regularly mess round with my phone and it means that if i am unable to boot to my ROM then I can't boot to recovery and I have to reflash the stock ROM with smartflash. This all seems rather counter-intuitive.
Anyone know how i can rectify the situation?

You're doing it wrong
Hold both power and volume till the blue LG logo appears.

Ahh man that was dumb, I'm coming from the desire where you can release everything pretty much immediately. Cheers

Ahaha... Before I did something worse..
I hold it until the menu appeared, then I release, and rebooted!
(because "Reboot" is the first upper menu )

Nook HD recovery black screen

I was attempting to install a ROM, and CWM gave me several errors about not being able to mount partitions. So, I rebooted and went into "mounts and storage", mounted the partitions, and tried again. This time, it got to about 100% and then crashed.
When I rebooted into CWM, I got a bunch of errors about not being able to locate files, and I couldn't access any menus. So, I shut it down.
Now, when I boot it up, it goes to the Cyanoboot screen and then powers off. When I try to boot into recovery, it just gives me a black screen.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
try a hard factory reset and then once you are sure its working fine
you can install another o/s and maybe use a different sd card as that one may be corrupt.
1 press and hold the power button for 20 seconds to turn off the nook
2. press and hold the power button, and then press and the home key while still holding the power button down.
the screen will flash and then the message "touch the future of reading" appears. The message disappears and the factory reset prompt appears.
3. press the home key to execute the factory reset. a confirmation screen will appear
4. press the home key again to confirm, the nook will be deregistered from Barnes&Nobles and original factory settings are restored..
if you've blown away the original factory settings you may need to download a new copy and load it onto an sd card (suggest a known good sd card)
and reload it.
good luck

Thanks! I've been able to get it back to stock, but I can't get a ROM installed. It either gives me a status 0 or status 7 error, or it hangs at the Cyanoboot screen and then eventually reverts to stock and sends me back to the "Hello, welcome to your NOOK" screen.
I've spent several hours going through XDA threads and various tutorials around the web, and nothing I do works. I've rooted and installed ROMs on three phones and two other Nooks (an original color and an HD+), and those all worked fine, but somehow this HD (hummingbird) manages to thwart all of my efforts. What really drives me crazy is that all of the tutorials make it look so easy, but when I try to do the same thing, it fails!
I think it might be a problem with the recovery. If I could just get that installed, then maybe it wouldn't be able to revert to stock anymore. But whenever I install a recovery, I get the same thing: it gets stuck on the Cyanoboot screen.
