I realize this has probably been posted and resolved but I cannot find any solutions yet. So here's the deal:
My fiancee dropped ger G1 into the toilet abot 2 months back or so. I was cleaning and stumbled across it and figured I would check and see if it had dried out okay or not. It is a non rooted black G1 running android 1.6. I tried a coupke of things and figured out I can turn it on now but it goes directly to the bootloader screen. I have ran the DREAIMG.nbh for rc29 and it will update it okay no problems. The issue is that after a soft boot(? Is that the right phrase?) By pushing menu power and call that it boots up...and goes right back into bootloader and tried to run the rc29 update again.
Has anyone else stumbled across this problem and if so how did you solve it? It boots into the factory recovery fine also and will run update.zip files but then once again boots directly to bootloader.
I am trying different things and tweaking here and there because I have a pretty strong feeling this isn't impossible. I'm just overlooking something I'm sure. If this issue has been resolved can someone post the link to the thread or even pm me and give me ideas here. I'm trying to root it since it seems the operating system is shot as is.

the reason it goes into the bootloader is most likely that there is still moisture under the keys .. my friend had the same situation .. the keys were constantly making contact and thus went wherever the keys led .. for instance: a stuck home key would get you into recovery .. a stuck back key gets into bootloader .. it takes quite a lot of effort and patience but if you can completely dry out the insides you should get it functioning again
Also, im pretty sure the G1 goes into the bootloader if there is a hardware failure(like the radio is not responding).
And how the hell did your fiance drop her G1 into the toilet? She better be hot because she sure as hell doesnt seem smart.

Happens to a lot of people...Kind of a rude statement for you to make about his fiance. On another note, OP, did you try burying the G1 in a bowl of rice (uncooked of course) and leaving it for a few days and then trying again. That has never failed me.

+1.... the rice trick usually works as long as you haven't messed around with it too much while it is wet.
make sure you remove the battery, sdcard and sim card so the rice can absorb more water too

Yup, I had a friend that dropped a G1 into a toilet months ago. He took everything apart you can take apart ie battery cover, battery, sim, SD card etc.. and he put it in a bowl of rice for 3 days. It's worked fine ever since..
you could get isopropanol ;D thats pure alcohol, then put the lower side of the g1 into a cup of that and let it dry for ~1 day. if that doesnt work i dont know how to go further ;D
Wrong section.

Double ditto on the rice. Instead of a bowl, though, I recommend a ziplock plastic bag. That way no additional moisture is getting the attention from the rice.
We did this with my wife's old phone, worked like a goddamn charm. I was amazed.
+5 on the rice idea. did that a long time ago with my brothers G1. He jumped into a lake after a discgolf disc. more worried about losing a $20 disc than a $300 phone. (We both pre-ordered the phone and i think thats how much it was.)
To be honest, there really is no point. The fact that its been like 2 months means most of them moisture should be gone. The reason the phone is going into the bootloader is because of a hardware failure. When the phone boots(the G1 screen) it runs hardware diagnostics. If there is a failure(which there is probably due to toilet water corrosion) it will go into the bootloader.
Anyway, forget the g1. She is your fiance ffs. Buy her something nice, like a MT Slide, or a Nexus
Let this be a lesson to all of you that get your phones wet. immediately after they get wet, remove the batteries, and submerge the phone in alcohol. Then put the phone in a ziploc bag with LOTS of silica gel packets. Leave in bag for 2 days.
Another story related on a french G1 forum :
A guy helped his sister to move. Exhausted, he went to the balcony to smoke and take a deep breath. While he was taking his cigarettes out of his pants, he realized he had also hung his G1, which fell from the 4th floor.
Sick of what occured, he went down to get his G1 back. Hopefully and even supernaturally, the screen was intact. Even more, when he tried to turn it on, he saw the G1 screen. It booted normally, and everything was working perfectly !!
Surprising, isn't it ?
That's why the HTC Dream (G1) is Magic (MT3G) !!
Lol I am getting her the mt slide next week lol. And in regards to "she doesn't sound very smart"... My fiancee works in assisted living and doesn't have much downtime. If you really need details(and why would you?) It fell out of her scrub pocket where you'd think it'd be safe at. S*** happens lol no need to say what was said.
My friend who has helped me rescue my phone a couple of times in my early rooting days recommended the rice bowl idea. Furthermore the phone doesn't boot into the G1 screen then to bootloader. Its going straight to bootloader. If its a radio problem is it possible to go thru and rename the current G1 radio to update.zip and flash it in recovery? Then the danger spl(which I have all saved on my pc from my rooting my G1). Thoughts? Ideas?
And thanks for the help guys btw

The rice trick won't help you anymore as there should be no moisture left after all that time. If you can disassemble it, clean it's guts with alcohol to get rid of shorts and it should probably be fine

Hey dude, sorry about the "she doesn't sound very smart." I was just trying to make a joke but I now realize that it was pretty rude. No need to explain. Also, when i said that, I didn't consider the fact that girls need to sit down to pee.
Now if a dude did that, that would be stupid.

So i bought a few of these batteries off of ebay and they are OEM HTC 1500maH batteries that come with the EVO. However when i put it in i cant press the letter T. i knwo this is happeneing due to pressure on the screen (its a little bigger than the 1300) but its weird cuz when i put the batteries in my moms incredible the problem doesnt happen. can someone please help me find a fix for this issue. its realllly annoying. and also i know it has nothing to do with the software cuz ive tried flashing multiple roms.
not sure if it has anything to do with it, but do you and your mom both have the same types of screens, or maybe one of you has SLCD, etc.?
I have an HTC Evo 1500 in my inc and T works for me. I'm AMOLED. Let us know what you've got.
I have an 1800 battery off of ebay and its a good bit bigger then the stock battery and everything still works
We all have AMOLED so i cant figure out why there should be a problem with just "my" phone
that's no fun man :/ just curious, what happens if you hold the phone horizontal?
Works perfectly fine. But I don't use landscape very much...

No problems with the Seidio 1750mah battery.
ok ive been using the stock battery due to the whole T not registering and i just got a siedio innocase 2 and popped it on my DI and the problem started happening with the 1300+ innocase! but now its even worse, the T, G and V wont register with the case on.. So im thinking about taking my phone into verizon and getting a replacement, but im not sure if they would give me a new phone because they might give me some its a 3rd party product bs and their not responsible for it... anyone have any suggestions on how i could get a replacement? lol
Well you said you noticed it when using an OEM battery... So obviously it's a problem with the phone.
Make sure you show them what happens when you try it on both you and your mom's Incredibles.
yeah im going to take them both in and show them. i should probably restore my stock backup and turn security back on before i take it in yeah?

By "security unlock" if u mean network unlock, once u flash back to stock it should get reset again.
I unlocked mine on stock, n then when I loaded stock back when changing roms, i found it got locked again. So shouldn't be an issue.
And well, nothing can be done abt the screen protector.
Believe, I've the 4th captivate after 3 replacements for sleep death issue.

Thanks Smith. When u get ur replacement I would recommend u wait for 3-4 days, confirm it does not have sleep death or charge death issues, and then apply screen protector.
Like the dood said - Flash back to stock.. but I would test to see if it keeps happening. If you have a Build 1008 phone - it seems to be more prevalent on that build then others.
Mine happens when the phone is fully charged especially. I would test that to see if you can get it to repeat or AT&T will just give you a replacement battery instead of a refurbed phone.
Will do, if I even get one this time around. We will see...
Thanks again!

I have a 1008 build phone and I'm hoping to exchange mine within the week. I flashed back to stock with Odin 1Click on Tuesday and I noticed it isn't entirely the same as when I bought the phone. There are some default apps missing, QuickOffice for one. Anyone have ideas?

You can download Quick Office from ATT Market. It's not needed for returning it back to AT&T. All of the base bloatware is returned to the phone after you Odin it.

Don't think too much. Format the internal SD, and revert to stock and return in. One click odin to stock gets it close to how AT&T gave u the phone. A couple optional apps missing shouldn't matter.

Great, thanks. That is all I needed to hear. Hopefully returning it today. Then as long as I can use the three-button mode to get into download and recovery, I think I'm going to try flashing my first ROM bundle.
So I exchanged my phone tonight. They gave me a 1007 build, however my IMEI ends in 0652. The guy at AT&T told me that Samsung had replaced the bad component causing the shutdown problem and was re-issuing old phones. They apparently don't change the IMEI. I'll see what happens. If it starts shutting down again, I'm back in the store for a new one.

@incrediblealex have you got it back yet? And, did you send it to your carrier or straight to HTC?
And it shouldn't matter if they update it, you can always downgrade with a goldcard.
I think that Inc S has a design flaw when it comes to the power button (just like the USB port) and I think this is affecting most of the Inc S phones out there. The thing is, very few people bother complaining about the degraded functionality of the button, as it still does the job pretty well.
My Inc S's power button lost the clickiness within 1 month from purchase...It still works, but not the way it used to.
In my opinion, if you send it back to HTC Service Centre, they will fix it, but it will brake again as they probably use the same part/component to fix/replace the mechanism.
My advice would be to sell the phone, if that power button really bothers you.
Hi, last week I was in a foam party... with my nexus one in the back pocket..
It was almost completely wet, I wait different hours and then I try to start it but it stuck at the boot ("X" symbol). Yesterday I came back at home, I change the battery, clean the phone with alcohol and put it in the rice for almost a day. I can enter into the bootloader (blackrose), I can use fastboot but the recovery (amonRa) and my rom do no boot. I flashed the radio and the recovery several times. It always bootloop when I start the recovery. With blackrose I check the internal memory, there are 2 bad blocks... not too much. The screen, all the buttons and the battery seems to work correctly but the led does not light up when I charge the N1 (but it charge the battery and without the battery but plugged in, if I try to power on the smartphone, the led blinks).
Do you have some suggestions?

I mean, i guess this might not work since your N1 is now Liquid Damaged but try this:
Fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
Note: you will need a recovery image and a rom zip so that you can test out if your N1 boots into recovery or not, if it does proceed to flashing the rom then reboot, and still Your phone has acquired Liquid Damage, nothing i have told you might work, it might not even get recognised by the Computer that is being used for the current operation, your phone might even end up in smoke...ok maybe not but you have been warned.
Hi, thank you for you reply. I tried what you said but without success, the recovery continues to bootloop (of course I re-flashed it).
Maybe I have to say goodbye to my N1 :crying:

Not really, you can send your phone into a dealer to get a part changed well mainly the motherboard because that is dramatically cheaper than purchasing a new phone

That's true, but if you search online a lot of people (e.g. youtube v=FQAUncGSVT0) were very lucky with N1 & water.
You should have stuck it in a bag of rice as soon as you got home.

You are totally right... but I was in Palma de Mallorca... very drunk and stupid :silly:.

I don't know yet but probably here in Rome they will ask me too much money (>100€) if it is the motherboard. Maybe I can upgrade to an used Samsung Galaxy Nexus (~200€-280€),

While your at it I still need to see the toughness of the phone if you know what I mean, how's about a drop test which YouTube is yet to see as you will be the first one to do it on YouTube
