Ok so I am having issues and I cant seem to find out how to fix it. I have done everything I can to fix it. I even went into CW and formated every thing but SDcard and reflashed files founf here. No matter what I try to do to get stock back on here even the 8 failed boots trich nothing works to get past the N (upside down U) splash screen. Any help would be awesome. Thanks a bunch!
recover to stock1.1 <---try this. Follow instructions and read ENTIRE thread. Almost foolproof.

hey guys, this morning i got the OTA cupcake update, and my phones been running fine all day, however, i just restarted it and its stuck on the android logo screen, it shows the shine going through the logo like it is loading but after a few seconds it stops, then does it again, is my phone shot? please, any help will be greatly appreciated! thanks!
Really you need wipe your phone. It will fix the problem and then you can boot into tmobiles cupcake. You will need to reinstall your apps, but anything on your sdcard will be saved
i did the wipe and its still doing it :/
if you have a sdcard reader pull your memory card out of your phone and plug it and your card reader into your computer. follow these instructions. this will get you back to rc29 and get your phone working. it will also get you up to cupcake with some tweaks to make the phone better.
after that head to this thread
go here and ger the full version of 1.2b name it update.zip put it on your memeory card and boot into recovery. wipe the phone, update it and wipe it again then reboot it.
do not worry your phone can be fixed, just be patient, take your time, go slow and read everything very carefully. read all the steps first, gather all the files you need before you do anything.
remember, read and be patient. good luck. pm me if you have any problems, ill help you get it working again
I think i bricked my phone by fallowing this tutorial.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3874647&postcount=406
It happened after flashing the spl.
My phone will not go past the white "t-mobile g1" splash screen.
thank you for reading.
Damn, another brick? Did you make sure you had a PVT board and not the DVT-1, DVT-2 boards? It's a known problem with the Special SPL that it pretty much bricks DVT board phones...at least so far. (check by booting with camera+power if possible, board type is shown on the first line of text)
Can you boot using home+power? Are you just stuck at the Splash screen? If so, after about 10 mins the screen will change, giving you an triangle error symbol. At this point push Alt+L. This should give you the recovery utility, where you will have access to wipe (you should prob do one) and reflash a rom.
Of course this is all assuming you have root already.
i dont know if i actually got root i fallowed some tutorial on that too today i can do both of those boots but dont know how to flash anymore updates with my phone stuck like this

Ok, so what you need to do is this:
1. Wait for the error message //remember it sometimes takes 10 mins or so
2. open keyboard, hit Alt+L //this will toggle your phone to the recovery utility
3. If you have root, you may have a recovery utility that says "JF version 1.43", if not you have the stock recovery utility
4. If you have root, you could try to DL pretty much any rom although I might try the Ion rom for its stability and simplicity //there are tons of instructions for flashing a new rom
5. If no root, search in the Dev section of the Dream forum for an OTA ( Over The Air, ie. stock) rom. In particular, search for Dreaimg.nbh, and read the instructions for reflashing it. This will help you gain root.
6. reboot, and enjoy (hopefully)
If none of that works, you can find the "Bricked G1's" thread on the Dev section too. I think your prob out of luck, but it's possible someone has/or is coming close to a fix.
re flashing ill let you know the out come
lol you didnt brick it since u can access the recovery image.
anyways what happened to me yesterday, i flashed latest radio, the latest spl and it wouldnt boot. i flashed a new system image but still no boot (t-mobile screen). I wiped the system (data partition) from recovery boot, and reflashed with a new system image, worked ok... so from what i get, u need to wipe / reflash system, if you upgrade spl...
is by using a card reader on a pc the only way to flash a different img if this happens to you?
my phone is in root and i'm on the same g1 screen. if i take the battery out i can boot to recovery mode but my only options are alt-w and alt-s. i've tried wiping and reflashing with the same spl img and it's not resolving anything.
Hey guys i don't know if anyone of you had the same issue but any info/help could be helpful.
I used to flash my N1 A LOT! but today i have this strange issue. I wiped and flashed rodriguezstyle again for a clean start, but i only got the colorful X with the unlocked symbol at the bottom and then just a black screen. i thought I've done something wrong and flashed again, but with the same results.
i changed my sd and downloaded again the rom but still no luck, did a nandroid restore and the phone was working properly. then i got a bit frustrated. downloaded 2-3 more roms but the result was the same.
i read somewhere that flashing with battery <50% may cause some errors so left the phone off to fully charge and tried again... no luck
then i remembered i upgraded the radio and i downgraded it to the old one, but still the same results and nandroid doesn't work... jeeeesh... back to the new radio and to my nandroid, but its no fun owning a smart-phone if you cannot flash it.
anyone with the same issue or any helpful tips/instructions?
Try this:
When the phone hangs at boot, reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik-cache and reboot from recovery. Does that work?
If not, you'll need to logcat the boot process and post the log somewhere for us to have a look at.
So, assuming adb is working on your computer, plug in via usb, use adb logcat > output.log and reboot the phone. Continue logging for about 60 seconds after the phone stops.
Post the log to www.pastebin.com and then link back here.
hmmmm ok i will post results in abt an hour. thanx!
hmmmm i think i sorted it out... reflashed recovery. propably i messed smthing in there! thanx for your effort!
Hello everyone!
Weird problem here, too.
I was backing up my SD card in view of a format/cleanup....and when I went to boot into recovery, my N1 was stuck on the black screen with the white letters at the bottom "Build : RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1"... The phone actually boots great, it is just not loading the recovery image. Is it possible that part of the flash got corrupted? If so, I'm pretty much done flashing my N1, right???
I'll post a log asap (if it could help any)...
Oh and btw i tried to re-flash Amon-RA's recovery twice already...Superboot said it was successful....but I doubt it...
Well try flashing stock rom! I flashed it through fastboot step by step and it worked. Also check if the rom you try to flash needs ext partition or if apps2sd is enabled

I've tryed to root the tattoo with superoneclick but it failed to root, since and the end came across some supposely memory errors and when when I boot into system its all apparently the same. I guessed it hadn't done anything so I jumped to the method as described on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5835675&postcount=1
I even done the gold card. And tried it. it does some command lines with no errors and at the end it boots normally. The problem is when I try to go to recovery mode it doesn't go to it and when I try to go to normal stock boot loader it algo fails. It tries to enter, I even see the screen for some part of a second but it just doesn't enters.
It boots aparently with no errors into to the system, but somehow somethings seem not work properly like factory reset and screen callibration.
It seems I've got stuck between halfway to nothing.
I just wanted some 2.3.3 goodness to my haunt and I'm afraid I've just messed up her phone!
Any smart and easy solutions? Even back to full stock would be good!
Thanks in advanced!
you can allways (well, as long as its not completely bricked) flash a RUU to go back to stock rom.
for me first time rooting also failed (dont remember the errors exactly), then i installed the RUU, tried rooting again and it worked.

I thought that could be a solution! I promissed I've been trying to resolve this situation for about 4 days. And I did it!!!
Everytime I ran a root solution it said it failed but they also said it was rooted.
tried again using this app:

Used the CM7 recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=854152) with described method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9192029&postcount=21
i thought the problem could be not the rooting part but the flashing of the recovery.
Did it step by step and worked!
Thank you very much for your reply!
I've been having trouble with my Vibrant and with T-Mobile in limbo I picked up a N1 off ebay to hold me over. This thing is driving me insane!
The phone came with CM7 installed on it, but the person that shipped it to me didn't erase any of there stuff so I figured I would flash a fresh image on the phone to take care of things. I've flashed my Vibrant a dozen or so times and never had an issue. Flashed the N1 and it comes up with an X made of 4 different colored lines and a little lock at the bottom. I know some roms take a while to load so I let it sit for an hour. Nothing.
Since I've been trying everything I can find out how to recover the phone including all of the guides on the wiki. I'm at my wits end at this point. I can't get into clockwork at all on the phone. It gets stuck in the bootloader and if I select recovery it just takes me back.
I've got droid explorer running, and the phone shows up, but it doesn't show anything on the phone, no folders or files and won't let me load anything on to it. (it says it is, but then stays blank) I have no clue what to do at this point short of taking a sledge hammer to it. (obviously I'm posting this as I consider that to be plan B)
I don't need anything special, I just want a working phone. Is that really so much to ask for?
If ur Phone is running( means u can boot) try flashing cwr from rom manager and flash the rom again or try to hard reset the phone and then see ?
Firstly, I would start of by being more specific about what you have tried.
If you really have tried "everything", then there's nothing anyone can do for you.
I suspect you haven't tried "everything"...?

I'm sure I haven't, just what I found in the wiki
I tried the PASSIMG.ZIP and it failed
I tried Amon_Ra's Recovery and the only way I can get it to do anything is to tell it to flash in droid explorer and it just reboots and gets stuck. Now nothing is showing up file wise in droid explorer and I can't transfer the image onto the root.
When I could get into clockwork I tried flashing different roms but it would just go to a screen with the clockwork logo and get stuck.

I can turn it on to the screen with the multicolored X or the bootloader, that's it. How do I do a hard reset?

in the bootloader I think (dont take my rookie rooting words too serious) theres a hard reset menu under recovery. it will take you to another x and press volume up and power for the menu to pop up.
try fastboot a recovery image (either Amon Ra or CWM) and see if you can get back to recovery after that.
Well I'm assuming you already have a custom recovery since it came with CM and you've, as you said, flashed it (what exactly do you mean by that by the way? flashed another rom?). So all I can recommend is that you wipe a few times and try flashing a few different roms and hopefully one will boot. Not the best advice in the world but its always worked for me before and my N1 and my DEXT before hand when I've messed them up!
You still did not say what you flashed to your phone.
Anyways follow the restore to stock guide.
I don't know what this Droid manager thing is but don't use it. Install the sdk.....
