I flashed the Cyanogen 7 Rom to my phone, and it worked great up until last night...
Last night, I go to check my phone and realize that it is stuck at the "X" displayed when booting up. Also, either the proximity or light sensor (not sure which one), is dimly lit red.
The phone will still boot into fastboot, and is recognized by fastboot when connected to a computer. However, adb will not recognize it. I've tried to recover using the PASSIMG.zip method but it just will not work.
Sorry to bother you guys, but I don't know what to do next. And i'm pretty new to rooting and using the SDK, so please go easy on me. lol. Hopefully someone out there can steer me in the right direction. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Do you have a nandroid backup you can flash from recovery? If not...why not?
If all else fails you can always try loading a ROM using fastboot. You'd have to unlock your Bootloader first though, if you haven't already. Which Custom Recovery are you using btw?
Yeah, I have a Nandroid backup. I don't think it's on my SD card though, also I don't think it is a zip if that matters.
And the custom recovery I have is Clockwork.
Lol, this may be a dumb question, but how can I be sure that my bootloader is unlocked?
Nevermind. I think It's bricked, All it will do is flash a red light in the top left hand corner. Please say I'm wrong though...
You would know if you'd unlocked the bootloader.
Have you been in the fastboot mode yet? It's the white background with three Androids on the bottom. This is how you unlock the bootloader.
There should be a guide on how to unlock the bootloader on the Wiki, I'll go find it...
Once you've done that, you can use ADB to try and restore your Nexus using this method. This method has worked for me everytime I've used it.
I'll edit my post when I've got the unlocking bootloader post.
EDIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...uides_&_Tutorials#ADB.2FFastboot.2FBootloader
The guide is under the heading 'Root', and starts with 'In order to Unlock the Nexus One's bootloader'.
Hope this helps!
If the screen with x had a lock on the bottom of it it was unlocked.

You don't need to unlock the bootloader to use adb. You unlock the bootloader to use fastboot...
Can you get into the bootloader our recovery?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Well there seems to be a turn of events! luckily, lol My phone still boots into fastboot, my bootloader is now unlocked, but I still cannot make a connection to ADB... I must be forgetting something or doing something wrong.
You cannot get a connection to ADB? Is ADB installed; did you install the Android SDK?
If you can get a connection, type adb devices into the command prompt/terminal. If the device is connected, it will say your phone's unique code then [devices]; if it is not connected it will say your phone's unique code then [offline].

Yeah I can still get into the Bootloader, but when I select recovery, it goes to the splash screen with the lock beneath it, and hangs up and gets SUPER warm to the touch after a few minutes lol
ADB probably isn't working because you aren't booting far enough into the system.
Try using fastboot to flash a new recovery image, and see if you can get into the new recovery...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
When I type in adb devices It says "List of devices attatched" but then has nothing listed... but I'm pretty sure I installed the SDK; I used fastboot in the command prompt to unlock the bootloader.
I flashed a new recovery; I used cmd: "fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img" But I still can't get past the X with the pad lock screen...
Eeeek!
Might be time to give HTC a call.
I know a few people who couldn't flash recoveries, and nothing seemed to work. They returned the phone, and HTC fixed for free...

Ahhhhh, That's exactly what I didn't want to hear! Haha, well I guess there isn't any other way to try and get past this screen is there?
I really didn't want to have to bring HTC into the equation, haha. But, do you think they will still fix the phone after I had It running Cyanogen? AND after I unlocked the bootloader?
I just want to make sure they will still do something about it and not just leave me in the cold with a really nice looking paper weight...

I should, I don't remember deleting them... How would I go about checking?
It will show up in device manager as nexus one. No yellow exclamation point. I don't recall if they are needed for fastboot/adb etc. Its in the wiki though.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
If you're using fastboot commands, the drivers must be installed.
Don't worry about the phone being unlocked. If you can't boot the phone in it's current state, neither can HTC. So the first thing they will do is a full re-image, which will also fix your problem. Then they will probably test it, and just return it to you, because they can't find a problem...

My phone is an HTC Hero CDMA Sprint running the latest update. I was talked in to rooting my phone to delete un needed apps, so I agreed and let my friend do it. Everything went fine, no problems. But then I deleted what I thought were nonsense aps, but I think I deleted something wrong because now I can not download from the market, gmail errors out when it tries to sync etc etc. And my friend did not do a back up of my phone (doh slaps hand on head).
I just want to put the phone back like factory. Of course, factory reset didn't really work because the stuff I deleted did not come back...but I figured that would be the case. I just made it worse because now I don't have my file manager to access the SD card and I can't download one from the Market.
I know there has to be some way to download something with my pc to flash the phone back to original, but I can't find it I only seem to find "updates" and I am not sure those will really help.
Can someone please point me in the right direction so that I can get my phone working properly again? Thank you so much!!
Flash a sense rom...that should fix everything..
Search RUU under the hero development section or go to the htc site ( http://www.htc.com/us/support/hero-sprint/downloads/) and get the hero software from there. Running it from either of those will return you to stock.

Just remember that running the RUU will also remove root from the phone...completely stock again...which is what it sounds like you want.

can you do this from your phone only, i.e. BT transfer an RUU flash img and flash it all on the phone, or do you have to USB connect to RUU?

ineresting.... I think you could, but ONLY if you were s-off. You could download the s-off only RUU, bt transfer it, and flash the HERCIMG.zip from hboot.
When running the RUU you do need to be connected to a PC. However, there is an HERCIMG zip RUU that you can run if you are s-off in the dev section and there is also a method posted to unroot without RUU from the sd card in the development section. Search rt100's posts for the second method and it should come up and I'll see if I can find the zip.
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA App
Easiest way is htc sync and RUU on pc unfortunately.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA Premium App
I tried both methods and the first failed due to hboot update and the second where you use the zip kept snagging at the file moving to /root saying write protected of read only. I tried this mount -o method but couldn't get root to be chmod only like /sys. Even with SU priv in the terminal emulator no dice. And when I called for upgrade sounded like they want the phone is why I'm little worried, maybe few seconds in the microwave or get it degaussed lol
Hello, I have brick my phone I want to flash firmware through SDK using fastboot but when I try "fastboot flash" I have "signature verify fail" error.
My n1 is root with stock rom but I don't have a custom recovery so Fastboot is the only solution but it doesnt work
And when I try to flash 2.3.3 rom via recovery I have an error with "framework-res.apk"
help me please
Fastboot only works when you unlock the bootloader - which you obviously didn't do.
If you can boot to ADB shell and have root - you can install custom recovery. Look at my signature, I guess it'll be clear. Use flash_image method.
flashing a recovery didn't work. I have the same error "signature verify fail"
and adb shell say "device not found"
The probleme is the adb driver
No its not.
Load up bootloader on phone.
Fastboot devices.
Fastboot OEM unlock.
Fastboot flash recovery recover file name.Ingram etc.
Either unlock bootloader or try passing method. Also read the other posters post. He told you what the issue was already........read wiki as well.

Download this file and place it on the root of your SD card. Make sure it's named PASSIMG.zip and then boot while holding volume down. It should flash FRG83 and then you can root again.
can i load that file to my sd card through adb?

Not if you cant get past the bootloader, you'd have to take out the sd card and put it in a card reader.
in my opinion the best method is the one albundy gave. You will not end up in this situation again if you fastboot oem unlock.

I have the G1 since it came out on T-Mobile. Since then I have moved on to Samsung Vibrant, original Galaxy Tab and currently on the international Galaxy Tab 7.7 as my phone and tab. I would like the xda community help in unlocking my G1 for a backup phone on my current sim. One thing to know, I am no longer using T-Mobile, I am on Straight Talk. I have been looking online to find a way to get it unlocked but all I come up with is, steps to unlock using the unlock code from T-Mobile (again I am no longer with T-Mobile) this is no use to me, or just follow links to websites where you pay for the code (would not trust them).
Is there a way to unlock it without the need of an unlock code? The original Galaxy Tab was able to be unlocked using Terminal Emulator by a member here on xda, would this be possible to do on the G1? Another option that is not good for me is ADB as I have no clue how to use it, I am okay using terminal emulator if given the correct code. I greatly appreciate your help and looking forward to your suggestions.
solved.......
Ok, since i was not getting any info here i decided to go ahead and pay for the unlock code. I used http://www.unlock-htc.com/unlocking-HTC.php, even though i was a bit sceptical, they accept paypal so at least i could fight the charge if any issues came up. Also i was able to root my G1 using this site http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/23/how-to-root-the-htc-g1-dream-androot-method/. So now i have an unlocked and rooted G1. Next up flashing a rom, maybe.
yeah unlike some other phones no one has been able to sim unlock these phones without a code, at least to my knowledge. the only other way I know off for you to have gotten a code for free would be to try and contact htc directly or have some one you know with tmobile get it for you
I have rooted many g1s over time but never used androot, I have heard it works fine
you will definetly want to try out some newer roms, so many better than stock. and look into upgrading your radio/spl as well as a custom recovery to make all the new rom flashes easier

well if you rooted with androot you should be ok, you now need to flash a custom recovery, I suggest amonra (also there is an app in the market that checks for root, I suggest use it to make sure) if you are rooted and have the sdk package on computer proceed
get a terminal emulator from the market as well as superuser and linda file manager, amonra image, put it on the root of sd card and rename it to recovery.img (if on windows it may auto put extention in there so name it just recovery)
open terminal emulator and type
su
then type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
wait a minute or so
now reboot into recovery

you will need to get adb.exe and fastboot.exe and the proper drivers for those programs installed on your computer to do a full upgrade of your radio/spl.
there are ways around this but it will be much easier and faster in the future if you have this.
also safer to flash firmware via fastboot as apposed to recovery

find a thread called adb for dummies or something along those lines, it has a mini package in it with all the required programs and files to do minimal work (adb, fastboot, drivers, etc) it also explains how to use these functions (just a quick basic idea anyway)
the sdk package is big if you download everything, and unless you start learning to develop roms and or apps most of it will seem usless to you
your other option is to just root the phone the old fasioned way, following the cyanogen wiki completley starting with the downgrading with the dreaming.nbh file
I've used this method o so many times, the first time took me manybe half an hour because I had to read up on it and understand it. now when I root a g1 I'm done in about 10 mins with rooting, upgrading to the latest radio/spl and installing a custom rom and recovery. so in other words it isn't too hard or time consumming and you may have less issues

Ok so I figured out where I was going wrong, I needed to downgrade to RC29.
So I followed cyanogen wiki and did the following:
Downgraded to RC29
Installed Amon_Ras latest recovery image
Upgraded radio to 2.22.23. 02
Spl 1.33.2005
Then I tried to install cm 5.0.8 (the links for cm 6 are not working) it flashed properly but then it just gets stuck on the G1 screen. I redid all the steps and still same issue. Any suggestions?
PS I did noticed that my original radio is the same as the one I installed using cyanogen wiki, is this correct?
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium

So I just got this last Wednesday. I read through a guide, and watched an instructional video on how to root my device. Everything works fine up until the point where I have to install SuperSU or SuperUser. Now, my friend uses SuperUser so I thought I would go ahead and follow his footsteps with that. I install ViperOne, and it finishes. After the reboot, my device is stuck in a bootloop. I wipe the memory, not thinking, and removed everything. My backpu, ViperOne, everything. I look up some more guides and learn about the abd push ROM.zip /sdcard/ command and try it out but I'm getting device not found. I have an OTG cable coming, but the possibility is there to use adb so until it does come, I'd like to at least attempt.
Current status:
Can only access boot loader and TWRP. ADB is not working. I wouldn't mind running an RUU but the only file I found on it, on top of downloading it twice @ 80kbps, says there's an error and I can't extract it from the .zip archive.
I don't know what more information I should provide, but any advice on how to unbrick this would be greatly appreciated. This is an amazing android, and all I wanted to do was make it better :c

I did the same thing when I first got the phone. Download the drivers for the one from the htc site, also try installing HTC sync if you haven't already. I'd provide links, but I'm not at a computer right now. Try using another computer if you can. Also, try restarting your phone WHILE it's plugged into your computer, or a different usb port. That helped me get adb working.
