Hi,
My tmobile G1 wont load any roms for some reason.
I flash a rom to it and it updated but when I reboot it gets stuck at the rainbow "X" screen.
Its a cyanogen rom.
Any clues on what to do?
The way I flashed it was by powering on the phone, holding the home plus power, then flashing the rom. Any suggestions?
Thanks
I've heard of people refer to the stock bootloader screen as a rainbow screen, but Rainbow "X"? Can you take a picture of it and upload it?

So my mate owns an X1 and he tried flashing a ROM last nigth but somethings gone wrong and now it's stuck in bootloader mode.
I said i'd have a look at it for him to see if i could do anything.
I was thinking of trying the microSD flashing without the need of a PC as it won't sync, but then lies the problem of it turning on and going straight to bootloader.
When charging it turns itself on automatically and loads up bootloader then a white screen with blue loading text.
When ever i try putting it in bootloader mode on charge, it just goes straight to the loading screen and then goes off.
Anyone know a way of fixing or flashing new rom to fix it?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
I have never encountered this issue... have been flashing roms for years.. on my windows phones and my G1 since it was possible..
The other day I went up update my phone to the latest CM ROM.. my phone finished and then I booted up the phone.. the screen was black.. i waited for a long time and not even the G1 screen showed up..
I booted again.. and same thing.. i booted again for days and tried getting into the recover with no luck..
I read someone had a simliar issue on here and they went into recover (though no screen or text shows up on screen) and proceded to hit alt w to wipe..i did that aswell and the next boot up the G1 screen showed up. I then did a complete wipe from there and began to install the new HTC recover and CM rom from scratch.. then same thing happend.. i kept getting the black screen...
I then tried to install the original SPL and install the original G1 rom and start all over.. i was able to install the original SPL (which I think is part of the issue) and then turned off the phone.. I placed the dreaimg in the sdcard and went to hit CAMERA and POWER.. and nothing shows up..
I can't for how many times i tried am able to get the phone to go into the install screen from holding down CAMERA and POWER..
I am able to restore the phone using the nanback up from the recover but since I installed the SPL it went away.. not sure if they are connected somehow.. so now i don't have those options either..
Can somebody help me with some ideas on how to fix this?
If you can't get into recovery? To me it looks like a brick phone.
As far as been here and read some post about not able getting into recovery or tri color screen not working as well and not getting any response from phone

I am able to get to the Amon Ra recovery.. and do things from there.. the problem is that when I reboot..it sometimes shows up the G1 and sometimes it stays black..
I tried reverting back to the original ROM by putting the dream on there at that point i noticed that when hold camera and power nothing happens..im' still able to reboot and go into Amon Ra recovery though..
Just an update.. i noticed that my phone only boots up properly if I slide out the keyboard before I press the power button to turn on the phone.. same thing applies when getting out of standby mode while the phone is on...
My G1 gets stuck on the screen on first boot i tried multiple roms i cant get past the screen like i flash it completely then restart and it wont go further then the loading screen
Hey,
For some reason my phone is stuck on a black screen at bootup where only the buttons light up. I have tried fixing the SD using the parted method on the cyanogen forums and the adb method posted on this forum. When I boot I get no error messages in recovery. The weird thing is, if i flash eugenes froyo for vibrant, the phone boots up and works but it will not work if I flash the official stock firmware (UGJH2 - i9000m phone). I have also tried flashing different versions but they all boot up to a black screen.
Does anyone know what is going on or what I can do to fix it?
Thanks.
I'm able to flash this to any rom but it just keeps getting stuck at the htc splash screen. I tried all stock tmob roms and DeepShining's rom and always the same, hung at the splash. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx in advance.
What does your screen say when you enter bootloader mode?

Every time I was able to enter boot loader mode and flash to the appropriate bl depending on upon the rom. Even when I ran the dft xspl install and launch exe's and then loaded DeepShining rom it hung on the DS splash screen.
Update:
Turned out to be a hardware problem. Tore the phone apart and it seems the camera button was the problem.
Lol...looks like you figured it out before I could suggest that, it seems to be a problem with the hd7 camera button getting stuck and not allowing the rom flash to complete. Glad you figured it out though!
