G1 - Recovery mode Exclamation Mark Screen

1. I had a rooted phone with CyanogenMod 4.1.9999
2. I downloaded Original System Image (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-img-14721.zip) from http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
3. I updated the phone with the zip file
Now I'm getting an exclamation screen when I try to get into recovery scree (Pressing Home button during boot)
I tried to downgraded using RC29 Image: http://android-roms.googlecode.com/files/DREAIMG-RC29.zip - Followed first 6 steps from http://forums.tmonews.com/index.php?topic=8970.0
I'm not able to update or do anything with the phone now.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

my guess would 2 be push alt+l and a list of options will come up! Also dont use the system image from htc.com use the recovery image 2 go back 2 whatever version you want it 2... make sure u wipe before you downgrade/upgrade

please move
sorry to be the one to point this out...but please ask these questions in the q&a section as it is not development related

The same happens with recovery image signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip

I say flash another recovery.img via fastboot.

Hi I have a problem like you....my G1 load only in recovery mode(Hold power=recovery, hold home+power=recovery, camera+power=recovery)
Did you fix your G1??? Please help me fix it

I haven't fixed it yet. Am not able to place the recovery image using fastboot - my phone is not recognized by the computer

Work around I've found for flashing the recovery image if you can't figure out fastboot (I've never got it to work) is like this:
1. Follow the root procedure.
2. Install the most recent CM rom without using the HTC image (reason I do this is he's got some linux commands built into his ROM that aren't installed in the vanilla android build).
3. Download the cm-recovery-1.4.img to your sd card (or whichever recovery image you like)
4. Run terminal commands like so:
$su root (the reason I do this is it gives you higher level access to the system than just su, and I've found it doesn't work with just su for some reason)
#flash recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img
#reboot
5. Hold your home key as it powers up, and you should have the new recovery image installed.
Of course, I'd say do a full wipe, then install the ROM, and go through the fix permissions and clear cache.

You won't be able to use terminal from recovery until you have a thirdparty recovery image installed. The steps I've listed are for a working phone, and I'm sure that's where part of your problem is. I'd suggest doing a wipe (Alt+W) and going through the root process again. When you get the CM Rom, change the name of it to update.zip, then try the steps I mentioned. I'd suggest having a separate SD card with just DREAMIMG.nbh installed on it for emergencies (especially if you're going to partition your main card).

Thanks
2) Install the most recent CM rom without using the HTC image(What is it? Can explane?)
4) Terminal as i understand its Telnet?
Can i do works a boot mode and then downgrade it to RC29?? Because after it i'll know what to do... Thanks!

Basically to get this working you're going to need to downgrade to RC29 first - so follow the root instructions.
CM = CyanogenMod ROM. To get his working fully you need two roms, which are the HTC Developer ROM and the 4.x ROMs he created (reason being legal distribution of software), but for my instructions, on his ROM page, you're going to skip his instructions, just download his ROM, rename it to update.zip and just flash it from the stock recovery, just so you can get to the terminal once the phone boots up and load terminal (it's in the programs tray). When another screen pops up asking if you want to allow it to use SU functions (it will as soon as you type "su") hit allow.
Terminal is a program downloadable from the Market, it's included with the CM ROM.
His instructions for install are not going to work unless you have a thirdparty recovery image, which at this point from the description, the triangle with the exclamation point is the default system recovery image.
CM Rom page
You should be able to find the Root posts and choose a customed recovery image, there's about 4 or 5 really good ones, I use Cyanogen's, thus my instructions on how to flash it.
You're fortunate that you're getting to the stock recovery, means your phone isn't bricked.

Not sure what you mean? Telnet for these intents and purposes is basically just a command. The page on how to root has become pretty convoluted at this point. The part where it tells you to type 'telnetd' is just running a script which is an exploit in the old releases of android. You won't be messing with Terminal really until you get to the point where you've updated the rom. From this point, I'd suggest downloading this root.apk from your browser, install it, allow it, follow the instructions step by step in the program.

My problem consist of that i can't turn on my phone and i can't get into bootloader...only recovery can you give me a link for RC29 download and then install it from recovery on my g1 from recovery.
Thanks!

You don't...with the DREAMIMG.nbh or any .nbh file you start up the phone holding power+camera. The recovery mode looks for an update.img file. You'll make it through, don't get frustrated.

Bootloader 'not allowed'

Dear XDA-Helpers,
First of all I want to apologize. Because likely the most of you will think the answers on my question are already posted. But I've searched and searched and I don't have found the solution. (Yes I saw this thread too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487187 It's the same question but that didn't help too.)
So this is what I did:
I wanted to test out the Eclair 2.0 Rom, so I flashed that over Cyanogen. Then I wanted back to 1.6, and used this method. ( http://www.gphone.org.hk/cgi-bin/ch/topic_show.cgi?id=60&bpg=1&age=0)
So I was on 1.5 and rooted with the one click method. Then I flashed the signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip ROM. When that was finished I reboot my G1, and then I wanted to flash Cyanogen, but when I went back to recovery mode, the orignal HTC recovery was back and I was unrooted, now I also cannot flash any DREAIMG.nbh because when I go in bootloader it says "not allowed".
I really don't know what to do now.
Some specs about my G1:
Android G1 with Donut 1.6

Thanks!

You're not unrooted. You just didn't read the instructions carefully enough.
Use fastboot to flash a modified recovery (I prefer CM's).
Code:
start your phone in fastboot usb mode.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Once that is done, go into the recovery and you can flash roms again.
This time FOLLOW the instructions...
After you've flashed the htc recovery image, do NOT restart the phone, simply flash cyanogens rom right after that, THEN reboot.

next time please post in the QnA section
you might also like to try RA-Dream-v1.5.2 - there are lots of extra options in there like partitioning your card for swap, apps2sd etc

Sorry for wrong section, I was used to use RA-Dream recovery, but since I don't have root anymore, I cannot flash a other recovery..

Well, when I typ 'su'/'sudo' in Terminal Emulator, it says no permission or something, so I think I don't have root anymore.. will your method fix my Bootloader? I used to get a screen with some skateboard but now I get a screen with a few colours.. and then it says 'not allowed'

Well when you flash the htc recovery image and then reboot the phone it will flash the stock recovery. That's why you need to flash cyanogens rom right after it.
But I don't really see why you're at the stock bootloader again now.
So you're on 1.6 with the stock bootloader? And the bootloader won't flash the .NBH, Looks like you need a goldcard.

Thanks for your answer!

yes I'm on 1.6 with the coloured boot loader and I can't flash a .NBH file, it says not allowed. What is a goldcard? You mean this? http://revskills.de/pages/goldcard.html
It says I need to give them my SD Card Serial (CID), but I have no idea what it is and where I can find it..

Here now the problem is that you cannot flash anything from the bootloader coz its telling 'Not allowed' And not even flash through recovery coz its the non - Rooted Stock one...
So here you go may be this would help you to get out of this problem.
First try this...
1. Get Amon_RA Recovery image into any folder.
2. Then Start your Phone in Boot loader mode
3. Open Command Prompt on your PC (Windows > Run > Type 'cmd' > Enter)
4. Browse to the folder where the Recovery image is located using cd <folder>
5. Connect the Phone to the PC via USB
6. Type fastboot boot <recovery_img_name.img> in the cmd window.
The Phone may boot into the Rooted Recovery...
If Not Try this..
Remember when G1 was first rooted ?
We had to type telnetd and then it installed the telnet application...
Try it...
Put the downloaded recovery image into the sdcard means /sdcard/recovery.img
1) Go to the Terminal emulator & type "telnetd" and press enter.
2) Press Home
3) Goto the market and download "Telnet"
4) Open Telnet and connect to localhost : 23
5) Press enter and you should see a #
6) Now type the following and press enter at the end of each line
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd sdcard
flash_image recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img
cat /sdcard/recovery.img > /system/recovery.img
7) Now try going into Recovery mode hope this might work...
Then Post ur info here...

Thank you!

The first method did not work because, when I go in Bootloader my PC don't detect that the G1 is connect, it just don't do anything.
The second method didn't work too, because when I typ in terminal 'telnetd' it says no permission...

He can't flash from the boot loader as he doesn't have the engineering boot loader installed.
The other option might work though. If not, a goldcard will be the only way out.
This process is a bit tricky though.
First of all you will need the cid of your sdcard, to get this, type the following command in the terminal emulator.
Code:
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid > /sdcard/serial.txt
The cid will be saved within the root directory of your sdcard.
Now comes the tricky part, you need to reverse the string byte-wise. Here is an example.
This is what your cid can look like.
Code:
03534453553038478021021a320087be
Now split it up in pairs.
Code:
03|53|44|53|55|30|38|47|80|21|02|1a|32|00|87|be
Next, reverse the string byte-wise.
Code:
be|87|00|32|1a|02|21|80|47|38|30|55|53|44|53|03
Your reversed cid will look like.
Code:
be8700321a0221804738305553445303|
Now, take that cid and plug it into the goldcard generator you posted earlier and enter your email.
https://ssl.webpack.de/revskills.de/pages/goldcard.html
You will be send an goldcard.img file.
This last part is important and requires knowledge with linux and the dd command
1. Format your sdcard with Fat32.
2. Open a shell and type dd if=location_of_goldcard/goldcard.img of=/dev/sdx(where x is the letter that stands for your sdcard)
3. When it gives you a prompt saying the write was successful, drag the .NBH to the root of the sdcard, plug it in your G1, and try again.

That's because you're on 1.6. I believe this only worked in 1.0 where the keyboard was attached to a root console, so anything you typed on the keyboard would go straight to the console with root permissions. This flaw has been fixed.

Am I [Bricked]?

Specs:
HTC Dream (G1)
Cyanogen 6.0(package) Had it from Release
Clockwork Recovery 2.5(The one that comes with the cyanogen)
Windows Vista 32bit
List of known facts:
CANNOT normal boot (Stuck at boot logo)
CANNOT boot into Recovery mode (Stuck at boot logo)
USB debugging mode is OFF
CAN boot into fastboot option by holding Power + Camera
If i can still be able to do Fastboot i need a noob guide or something
Because im far from understanding it
when i plug in the usb into my computer, my g1 says "Fastboot USB mode" on
but my computer does not have a single pop up or any devices shown anywhere
Except Android USB devices "MY HTC" found on "Device Manager" in control panel, when i plug in my g1
And if i remove that driver and disable auto device driver installing on Vista..i get "USB Device not Recognized"
I just want to know is there any hope for my beloved Mistress G1 or no.
Thank you all for reading =]

Well if worst comes to worst put the apropiate dreaimg.nbh on sd card and power + camera button and wait whill will bring you back to 1.0 but only do that if you run out of options, as im sure there are other ways of fixing your g1 with going back to 1.0

Thanx alot for actually replying and helping..i had like 20-30 views and NO replies..
Umm yea i figured that was my last option when HBoot kept saying "Looking for dreaimg" on sd card. I really dont mind doing that..
but i much rather learn a better method if possible =]

Ok so i basically used HBoot to get back to 1.0(unrooted)
Please close this and thank you, xda

How to do this without going back to 1.0
I ran into a somewhat similar issue where I was unable to flash stock system images via recovery (key verification problems).
You can use fastboot to flash images via command prompt (if in vista/7 be sure to right click command prompt and run as admin):
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.x.x.img
I used the 1.6 HTC Dev System (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-img-14721) and Radio zip downloads (not the recovery one): h ttp://developer.htc.com/adp. html (don't have enough posts to be able to link url so cut/paste and remove space)
Unzipped the 14721 zip and manually flashed each of the four images to the device.
fastboot flash boot "C:\....\signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-img-14721\boot.img"
and same for recovery, system, and userdata
You can skip a step here by flashing the RA-dream recovery instead of the stock recovery.
If you have a different radio version, you need to rename the radio zip to update.zip, toss it on the sd card, boot into recovery, and flash the radio update zip to the phone.
Remember to wipe both caches, battery usage cache, and restore to "factory default" options in RA-dream before booting into Droid.
You should remember to wipe your caches in this manner every time you flash a new image. This includes resetting to "factory default" (clearing the userdata currently stored) since that one is easy to overlook and often causes things to not work exactly right if you still have data left over from a prior droid install.
It should also be possible to flash cryanogen or other versions via this method, if you have separate image files for each component to use with fastboot (like how the 1.6 dev images I linked to were split into solid .img files).

[q] need simple step by step guide .... Links please...

guys i've a g1.. its rooted .. when i go to About phone it shows:
firmware version: 1.5
model no: htc magic
baseband: 62.33.20.080. 1.22.12.29
build no. PLAT RC 33
i've recovery 1.7.0 installed, i even installed new radio & SPL through recovery...in fastboot mode it shows :
Dream PVT 32b Eng s-off
hboot- 1.33.2003
radio- 2.22.19i
ok... so now i want radio 2.22.28.25, spl 1.33.0013d (hboot) & froyo by lazlo 5.2 on my g1... last night i upgraded both radio & SPL but it didnt boot so i reverted through recovery, please give me simple steps to flash to this rom... also note that if there anything that i should be careful of can be mentioned... any other help or suggestion is welcomed... thanks in advance...
P:S: sorry guys i meant to say no links please... only simple instructions will do... i get more confused with links ....

well youll need links for the file you need
the best way is to flash through fastboot, have you used adb or fastboot before?
if not you should learn but this can be done from recovery. dont recommended it though
what i do recommended is looking at all the great guides throughout xda on how to do this (root and upgrade) but if you need your hand held i dont mind.
so read up, if your still confused let me know and i or another helpful soul here will help

thanks for the quick reply... i've the files allready... i've ADB in my pc... my sd is in fat32 format ... so please tell me how to flash through fastboot...

so power on while holding back or camera and plug your phone into your pc, if this is the first time a driver or two should pop up (android 1.0 or something)
no you will be on hboot screen and phone will say in red fastbootusb
with me so far?
now open the folder where all files are, here you need recovery (yes i know you have it but you still need it) radio, spl
also have the orange.nbh file handy in case you have trouble
(also best to have all these files in your platform-tools folder along with adb in case you havent changed the environmental variables and added a path for adb)
hold shift and right click choose open command window here
now type <fastboot>
hopefully a list of commands pops up this will tell you fastboot is working
now type fatboot devices
should show phone id here
if all is good lets proceed
type <fastboot flash recovery recovery.img>
(or whatever the file name is for your recovery)
you should get a notification it worked
now <fastboot flash radio 2.2....img>
(replace the 2... with the name of your radio image)
now fastboot flash hboot 1.33..img>
(replace 1.33... with the name of your spl image)
here is a sample of what this would look like in fastboot for me
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img
fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.27.08.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.0013d.img
so if you name your files the same as above you can just copy and past these commands
oh and if i didnt mention before you must extract the zip folders into the same location as adb unless you change environmental variables on your pc
been drinking a little so hope this is good! let me know how you fair

okk bro... but do i flash the new rom ??? i have lazlo 5.2.zip ....

When your done with the recovery,radio,spl you will type fastboot reboot recovery
Now flash fbl from recoveery
You can't do anything in flashboot except -w now because you will be quasi s-on
But fastboot wipe is the cleanest wipe so do this inbetween flashing roms, and superwipe cause wiping is fun
So yes flash roms only in recovery after this update

Fbl froyobylazslo
The rom has to stay a .zip to flash it from recovery, the radio,spl and recovery has to be extracted from the .zip to be flashed in fastboot

If, and only if, you already have 1.33.0013d and the 27.08 radio, copy the Froyobylaszlo zip onto the sd card. Just that one zip. Nothing else. Boot into recovery by pressing power+home. Go to flash zip and choose the zip, flash it, and reboot and enjoy

boot into recovery and scroll down to partition sd card
if you want sawp (more than likely you do) choose around 96mb
then choose about 512 for ext
(this will be good choices for a card that is 2gb or more)
then after it runs its course i suggest scrolling down to ext2 - ext3
after that runs its course do the ext3 - ext4
(there are pluses and minuses to ext4 but i feel the speed out ways the life expectancy)
i assume you have finished all the fastboot commands from earlier?
so if you hold camera and power phone reads .28 (or whatever .25) for radio
and .13d for hboot?
if yes than do this and then flash fbl, when you reboot let the phone idle 5-10min
then yeah! your golden!

@ demkantor & frankdrey .... thanks to you both ... now i've got what i wanted...thanks again you guys made my day

No problem, and shortybro need make a good point, as soon as you set up the rom just how you like it, reboot into recovery and scroll down to backup, and do a nandroid. This is like a restore point in case you mess something up. Also do it before you flash another rom, if you don't like that rom it a quick step back to have it just the way you like it. Just remember to wipe!

yup... i did...

tried to install JB, used Blackrose = can't get into recovery

Hello Folks,
I'm still stuck with my nexus one since I don't care that much about phones.
I've seen that jelly bean roms have made a significant progress. Thus I decided to give it a shot.
I started with installing adb and fastboot. :good: After that I rooted the nexus one :good: I've used this how to:
c2med blog, can't post links...
Next, I ran blackrose. :good: I saved the rom on the micro sd. Having done all the preperations I wanted to flash the JB rom.
I started the phone in bootloader mode but - unfortunately - couldn't access the recovery mode (ext4). I only get the Android figure and an exclamation mark.
In the how-to it sais i should use fastboot to flash the recovery made by ext 4.
Problem # 1: Ext4 generated a .zip, not a .img file
Problem # 2: I connect the device in fastboot mode, navigate to the adb/fastboot folder and use ./fastboot devices. The phone is recognized and I see the serial number. Next I try "flash recovery...." but I only get "command not found". Now, I basically have no idea what to do.
Which recovery should I flash? And how?
I'm so looking forward to your answers.

What you get is the stock recovery.
Flash 4Ext recovery or Amon RA recovery ( fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img)
Among the several guides to install JB, I suggest you to look at the following post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804571
I just finished this morning the following process:
install RA recovery,
install Blackrose and resize partition,
install from SD card Evervolv-Perdo-3.2.0-Nightly-2013.01.13-passion.zip
install from SD card gapps-ev-jb-20120816.zip
I spent a lot of times reading and trying. I had an issue after installing Evervolv-perdo-3.1.0final-passion zip. That's why I switched to the Nightly (JB 4.2).
Once you are set install a2sd from within the terminal emulator on your N1.
In my opinion this is so far the best ROM I ever have had on my Nexus 1.:good:
I am impressed to the extend that I offer to my wife to do the same on her N1. She said no. No to unlock, no to root and of course no to custom ROM.
Good luck

Hi,
thanks for your reply. Thats basically what i did as well. But after using Blackrose i can't go into the recovery mode.
I used the same tutorial. The problem lies here:
"Note: some people have reported having problems getting into recovery at this point (if not move on to step 5). If that happens, luckily for you, 4ext put a recovery image in the downloads folder of your SD card and if you did what I said in step 2 you saved it. Try reflashing that recovery image using fastboot (remember the one that was in SD/Download/4EXT_Recovery_Touch/ and was named "recovery.img"). Put your phone into the bootloader by turning off your phone, turning it on again while holding the trackball down. To reflash the recovery open command prompt and cd to the location of the Android SDK tools. Then type in the following command (replacing "path" with the path to where the recovery image is located on your computer):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/recovery.img
If that does not solve your problems (inability to get into recovery) then I would recommend going back to the cyanogenmod wiki and installing Amon_Ra's recovery. Then you can use it to flash your installation zip."
It seems like I am unable to understand what I am supposed to do. Could somebody give me a step by step advice? I would prefer using some other recovery.img than mine...

It happened to me. I just re-flashed Amon RA recovery from the fastboot mode. Maybe somewhere you missed a step?

Okay I see. Could you give me the exact steps for the fastbood method? :angel: And where did you get the recovery?
Cheers!

In other words open your folder android-sdk-windows installed on the root of your C: hd. Click on the folder platform-tools and download Amon RA recovery in this folder. Left click anywhere on a blank area of this folder then press the key Shift (keyboard) and right click your mouse. In the drop down menu select Open command window. In the CMD, to be sure that the N1 is recognized by the pc (meaning the right drivers are installed) type ADB devices and press enter. You should see a string of numbers like HT9C......
Type adb reboot bootloader and press enter. You are in the fastboot mode ( and mood if I may say so) and the phone shows that it is in the bootloader. You can check again that N1 is recognized by the pc by typing fastboot devices. Same string appears.
Type fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img.
After the installation is completed boot in recovery, select Flash zip from sdcard, select the ROM you have dropped on the card. When the installation is completed go back to Flash zip from sdcard ( you are still in recovery mode) and select the gapps you have dropped on the sdcard.
Go back to Reboot system now. You are then out of the recovery and it takes some times for the N1 to boot to this beautiful JB

As c2med posted in his guide, sometimes, people lose their recovery when they repartition using Black Rose. Hence, its always best to have Amon-RA or 4EXT flashable .img file in your PC so that incase you lose recovery, you can always flash it back.
Once you are in bootloader ( also called FASTBOOT mode) you can flash your recovery.
Then reboot into recovery from FASTBOOT (Shutdown and then restart using the recovery combination)
Once you are in recovery, follow the steps in c2med's guide (wipe cache/dalvik/etc - except sd-card ofcourse) and flash your ROM from sd card.
Then reboot into JayBee

In the screenshot you type:
$ ./fastboot devices
then you type:
$ flash recovery ......../recovery.img
Command not found.... Sure, flash it's not a command...
You need to type fastboot command first!
$ ./fastboot flash recovery ......../recovery.img

Thank You! That's what I figuered out last night. Of course I also tried "fastboot flash" but forgot the "./". That was the key. Now the JB ROM works like a charm.
New Problem:
I can't install google apps. In fact I don't really need them. I only use a few apps and found the .apk files with google. Unfortunately the "official" Google apps like chrome don't work.
Plus, I wanted to install the camera (laggy in the evervolv - rom) and keyboard from here.

When I try to install the .zip files in recovery mode I always get an error because of the signing... any help?

When you're in recovery, select "Flash zip from SD card" and then select "Toggle signature verification" to disable signature verification, and then "Choose zip from SD card" and navigate to the zip file that you want to flash.
